Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle mount technology, and specifically relates to a multi-angle adjustable mount for a vehicle-mounted drone remote controller. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of drone technology in civilian and commercial fields, the demand for drone operation in vehicle-mounted scenarios is growing. Currently, during drone aerial surveying operations in mining areas, operators must stand outside the vehicle for extended periods holding the remote controller to adjust the direction, facing challenges such as frozen hands in winter and exposure to the scorching sun in summer. Therefore, operators now often operate drones while seated inside the vehicle, using a mount to mitigate the impact of weather conditions. Vehicle-mounted mounts also solve the problem of prolonged handheld operation. However, existing vehicle-mounted mount technologies still have the following technical drawbacks compared to traditional drone remote control operations: 1. Insufficient adjustment flexibility: Existing brackets mostly adopt a single-axis or dual-axis rotation structure, which can only achieve limited adjustment of pitch angle or horizontal direction. They cannot meet the operator's personalized needs for remote control tilt angle and operating height during driving. Especially in complex road conditions, remote control with fixed angle is prone to affecting control accuracy due to viewing angle deviation.

[0003] 2. Poor structural stability: During the aerial survey of mines by UAVs, the mountain roads are rugged and uneven, and the vibration is greater than that of ordinary roads. This further causes the vibration of the vehicle to loosen the connection of the support. Traditional supports are mostly fixed by a single clamping point or elastic buckle, which lacks a mechanically stable structure. The remote controller is prone to displacement or even falling off, which poses a safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, designing a vehicle-mounted drone remote control bracket that can achieve multi-dimensional adjustment and stable support has become the key to solving the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a multi-angle adjustment bracket for a vehicle-mounted drone remote controller. The bracket uses a multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment structure and a stable support frame formed by telescopic rods to solve problems such as limited adjustment freedom and insufficient stability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a multi-angle adjustment bracket for a vehicle-mounted drone remote controller, including a fixed plate, a triangular plate fixedly mounted on the fixed plate, a limiting mechanism provided at each of the three apex of the triangular plate, and an adjusting ring rotatably mounted on the side wall of each of the three apex via annular grooves. The adjusting ring is also rotatably connected to the fixed plate via a shaft column. A telescopic rod is mounted on the limiting mechanism, and a clamping mechanism is provided at the top of the telescopic rod. The limiting mechanism includes a bracket and two deflection bases. Each deflection base is connected to a telescopic rod. One end of the bracket is fixedly mounted on a triangular plate, and the other end is rotatably mounted with a lead screw. A first gear is mounted on the end of the lead screw near the adjusting ring. A partial gear ring is fixedly mounted on the adjusting ring. The first gear meshes with the partial gear ring. A movable seat is threadedly connected to the lead screw. A pressing plate is mounted on the movable seat through an adjusting component. The two deflection bases are fixedly mounted on the triangular plate, and a fixing plate is mounted on the deflection base corresponding to the pressing plate.

[0007] In one embodiment, a locking assembly is provided on the annular groove. The locking assembly includes a protective shell, which is fixedly disposed on the annular groove and has a limiting groove through which a limiting rod is formed on the side wall near the adjusting ring. A limiting rod is fixedly disposed on the side of the limiting groove near the first gear, and a vertical chamber is fixedly disposed on the adjusting ring on the other side. An adjusting rod is slidably disposed in the vertical chamber, and a return spring is disposed between the adjusting rod and the bottom of the vertical chamber.

[0008] In one embodiment, the deflection base includes a lower shaft seat, the bottom of which is fixedly mounted on a triangular plate and the top of which is hinged to an upper shaft seat via a cross shaft. The top of the upper shaft seat is connected to a telescopic rod.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fixing plate is provided with a cross shaft near one end of the extrusion plate.

[0010] In one embodiment, a torsion spring is provided between the adjusting ring and the shaft.

[0011] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes four telescopic adjustment rods and a first compression spring disposed between the movable seat and the compression plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, the multiple telescopic adjustment rods include a telescopic smooth rod and a telescopic screw rod. The telescopic screw rod includes a threaded cylinder and a threaded rod. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the threaded cylinder via a thread, and the threaded cylinder is rotatably mounted on the movable seat.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are: 1. Flexible multi-angle adjustment: The deflection base, which is hinged to the cross shaft, works in conjunction with the telescopic rod to allow the remote control to be deflected in any direction in the horizontal plane, meeting the operational needs of different angles and orientations and improving adaptability. Especially in complex road conditions, the remote control, which is easy to adjust, ensures control accuracy.

[0014] 2. Stable and Reliable Structure: Each of the three apex angles of the triangular plate is equipped with a set of limiting mechanisms. Each set of mechanisms controls two telescopic rods. Any two telescopic rods, in conjunction with the clamping mechanism or the triangular plate, can form a stable triangular support structure. When the limiting mechanism is locked by adjusting the ring, the pressing plate and the fixed plate clamp the deflection base, restricting its rotation. Combined with the cross-axis hinge structure to fix the unidirectional rotational freedom, the triangular support can still achieve self-locking and stable support through mechanical balance after multi-angle adjustment. This effectively resists the large vibrations caused by the rugged terrain of mountainous areas during UAV aerial surveying in mining areas, ensuring that the remote control angle remains stable without deviation.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the multi-angle adjustable bracket for vehicle-mounted drone remote controllers provided in this application includes a fixed plate 1. A triangular plate 12 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 1. Each of the three apex corners of the triangular plate 12 is provided with a limiting mechanism 4, and an adjusting ring 8 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the three apex corners through annular grooves 9. The adjusting ring 8 is also rotatably connected to the fixed plate 1 through a shaft column 2. A telescopic rod 7 is mounted on the limiting mechanism 4, and a clamping mechanism 13 is provided on the top of the telescopic rod 7.

[0020] The mounting plate 1 is fixed to a designated position inside the surveying vehicle using glue or bolts. After the mounting plate 1 is secure, the drone remote controller is placed in the clamping mechanism 13 and fixed thereon. Then, the limiting mechanism 4 releases the restriction on the telescopic rod 7. Once released, swinging the remote controller will synchronously cause the telescopic rod 7 to swing, allowing for flexible adjustment of the remote controller at multiple angles. After adjustment, rotating the adjusting ring 8 drives the limiting mechanism 4, causing it to re-limit and fix the telescopic rod 7, ensuring the remote controller remains stable at the adjusted angle and preventing displacement due to vibrations or external forces during vehicle movement. This improves reliability and ease of operation.

[0021] The limiting mechanism 4 includes a bracket 41 and two deflection bases, each deflection base being connected to a telescopic rod 7. One end of the bracket 41 is fixedly mounted on the triangular plate 12, and the other end is rotatably mounted on a lead screw 45. A first gear 47 is mounted on the end of the lead screw 45 near the adjusting ring 8. A partial gear ring 48 is fixedly mounted on the adjusting ring 8. The first gear 47 meshes with the partial gear ring 48. A movable seat 43 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 45. A pressing plate 49 is mounted on the movable seat 43 via an adjusting assembly. The two deflection bases are fixedly mounted on the triangular plate 12, and a fixing plate 410 is mounted on each deflection base corresponding to the pressing plate 49.

[0022] After the remote control support adjustment is completed, when it is necessary to lock the remote control support angle (i.e., lock the telescopic rod 7), rotate the adjustment ring 8 counterclockwise. During the rotation of the adjustment ring 8, the first gear 47 is driven to rotate through the local gear ring 48. During the rotation of the first gear 47, the lead screw 45 is driven to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the lead screw 45 causes the moving seat 43 to move axially along the lead screw 45 in a direction close to the fixed plate 410. During the movement of the moving seat 43, the pressing plate 49 is pushed synchronously close to the fixed plate 410 through the adjustment component until a clamping force is formed between the pressing plate 49 and the fixed plate 410, thereby limiting the rotation of the deflection base, further realizing the effective limitation of the telescopic rod 7, preventing it from deviating, and ensuring that the remote control is stable and reliable at the adjusted angle.

[0023] Conversely, when the remote control support angle needs to be adjusted (i.e., the locking of the telescopic rod 7 is released), the adjusting ring 8 is rotated clockwise in the opposite direction. The partial gear ring 48 drives the first gear 47 to reverse, and the lead screw 45 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the moving seat 43 to move away from the fixed plate 410. This releases the clamping effect of the pressing plate 49 on the fixed plate 410 and removes the restriction on the deflection base. At this time, the telescopic rod 7 can swing freely to meet the movement requirements of the remote control during adjustment. In order to prevent deflection during the movement of the moving seat 43 driven by the lead screw 45, a connecting rod is connected to the bottom of the moving seat 43. The bottom end of the connecting rod passes through the bracket 41 and can move along the through groove 42 of the bracket 41.

[0024] It should be noted that limiting mechanisms 4 are set at the three apex positions of the triangular plate 12, and the three sets of limiting mechanisms 4 are distributed in a ring with equal spacing, which makes the limiting and fixing of the telescopic rod 7 more uniform and reliable. No matter what angle the remote control is at, it can be locked in all directions through the three sets of limiting mechanisms 4, effectively preventing structural loosening or angle deviation caused by uneven local force, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0025] Each set of limiting mechanisms 4 controls the locking and releasing of two telescopic rods 7. Any two telescopic rods 7, in conjunction with the clamping mechanism 13 or the triangular plate 12, can form a stable triangular support structure. After unidirectional locking of any two telescopic rods 7, the other telescopic rods 7 can form a self-locking support through the mechanical principle of the triangular support structure. This ensures that the entire support structure remains stable at any angle, avoiding displacement and imbalance caused by external forces or vibrations. Through this synergistic effect of linkage locking and triangular support, not only is the adaptability and flexibility of the remote control support structure improved, but its overall load-bearing capacity and anti-interference performance are also greatly enhanced, enabling the remote control to maintain accurate support and operational stability even in complex environments or during long-term use.

[0026] Optionally, a locking assembly is provided on the annular groove 9. The locking assembly includes a protective shell 10. The protective shell 10 is fixedly disposed on the annular groove 9 and has a limiting groove 411 extending through the side wall near the adjusting ring 8. A limiting rod 412 is fixedly disposed on the side of the limiting groove 411 near the first gear 47, and a vertical compartment 414 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the adjusting ring 8. An adjusting rod 413 is slidably disposed in the vertical compartment 414, and a return spring 415 is disposed between the adjusting rod 413 and the bottom of the vertical compartment 414.

[0027] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to lock the telescopic rod 7, the adjusting ring 8 is first moved by the adjusting rod 413 to rotate clockwise, which drives the local toothed ring 48 to rotate synchronously. When the adjusting rod 413 is moved to abut against the limiting rod 412, the adjusting rod 413 is pressed down to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 415 and move downward until the vertical height of the adjusting rod 413 is lower than the bottom of the limiting rod 412. At this time, the adjusting rod 413 is moved to the other side of the limiting rod 412, the adjusting rod 413 is released, and the return spring 415 pushes the adjusting rod 413 to return upward, so that the adjusting rod 413 is in a limiting engagement between the limiting rod 412 and the protective shell 10, thus completing the position limitation of the adjusting ring 8. Meanwhile, the local toothed ring 48 drives the lead screw 45 to rotate, causing the pressing plate 49 to move toward the fixed plate 410. Under the position-limited state of the adjusting ring 8, the pressing plate 49 and the fixed plate 410 are tightly fitted together. This friction between the pressing plate 49 and the fixed plate 410 restricts the movement of the deflection base, thus locking and fixing the telescopic rod 7, ensuring it will not slip or shift during use. When it is necessary to release the locking state, press the adjusting rod 413 again to disengage it from the limiting area of ​​the limiting rod 412. Then, turn the adjusting rod 413 counterclockwise to the initial position. The return spring 415 pushes the adjusting rod 413 back, causing the adjusting ring 8 to reset, thereby disengaging the pressing plate 49 from the fixed plate 410, releasing the restriction on the deflection base, releasing the locking state of the telescopic rod 7, and enabling free adjustment of the telescopic rod 7.

[0028] It should be noted that anti-slip textures are provided on the sides of the pressing plate 49 and the fixing plate 410 that are close to each other, to further enhance the friction between them and ensure that the telescopic rod 7 has higher stability and safety in the locked state. At the same time, the anti-slip texture design can also effectively prevent accidental loosening caused by prolonged use or external vibration, thereby extending the service life of the device and improving the overall operating experience.

[0029] Optionally, the deflection base includes a lower shaft seat 5, the bottom of which is fixedly mounted on the triangular plate 12 and the top of which is hinged to an upper shaft seat 6 via a cross shaft 11. The top of the upper shaft seat 6 is connected to the telescopic rod 7, and the fixing plate 410 is located at one end of the cross shaft 11 near the pressing plate 49.

[0030] In this embodiment, the lower shaft seat 5 and the upper shaft seat 6 are connected by a cross shaft 11 to achieve multi-directional rotation, so that the telescopic rod 7 can be deflected in any direction in the horizontal plane, thereby adapting to the usage requirements of different angles and orientations.

[0031] By fixing the rotational degree of freedom in one direction of the cross shaft 11, the telescopic rod 7, after completing the angle adjustment, cooperates with the triangular structure to achieve all-round limitation of the telescopic rod 7, thus possessing good structural stability and load-bearing capacity in multiple directions.

[0032] Optionally, a torsion spring is provided between the adjusting ring 8 and the shaft post 2. When the adjusting ring 8 rotates counterclockwise, the torsion spring is compressed and stores force. When the adjusting ring 8 is in the locked state, the reset torque provided by the torsion spring can effectively prevent the adjusting ring 8 from rotating unexpectedly due to external forces, thereby further enhancing the stability and reliability of the locked state. Through the torsion spring, the adjusting ring 8 always has a tendency to automatically reset when locked, ensuring that it remains at the set angle position without external force intervention, thus guaranteeing the safety of the entire bracket during use.

[0033] When the height of the telescopic rod 7 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting rod 413 is turned clockwise and disengaged from the locking area of ​​the limiting rod 412. At this time, the torsion spring releases the stored elastic potential energy, driving the adjusting ring 8 to rotate counterclockwise back to the initial position, causing the internal linkage structure to return to the unlocked state. At this time, the telescopic rod 7 can be freely adjusted to achieve height or angle adjustment.

[0034] Optionally, the adjustment assembly includes multiple telescopic adjustment rods 44 and a first compression spring 46 disposed between the movable seat 43 and the pressing plate 49.

[0035] Optionally, the plurality of telescopic adjusting rods 44 include at least one telescopic smooth rod and at least one telescopic screw. The telescopic screw includes a threaded cylinder and a threaded rod. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the threaded cylinder by a thread, and the threaded cylinder is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 43.

[0036] This embodiment uses four telescopic adjustment rods 44 as an example, but it is not limited to this. The four telescopic adjustment rods 44 may include three telescopic guide rods and one telescopic screw. The three telescopic guide rods, together with the telescopic screw, achieve precise guidance and adjustment of the extrusion plate 49, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the extrusion plate 49 always maintains a high degree of consistency and stability when applying or releasing pressure. The operator adjusts the length of the telescopic screw by rotating the threaded cylinder. During the process of changing the length of the telescopic screw, the distance between the extrusion plate 49 and the moving seat 43 is finely adjusted. This allows for adjustment of the locking pressure between the extrusion plate 49 and the fixed plate 410 without rotating the screw 45 (i.e., without changing the axial displacement distance of the moving seat 43), further ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the bracket under different load conditions. The first compression spring 46 is always in a compressed state, providing continuous preload to the telescopic screw, improving the stability support of the telescopic screw, and preventing loosening caused by external impact or long-term use. The elastic buffering effect of the first compression spring 46 can effectively absorb minor vibrations and stress fluctuations in the locked state, thereby enhancing the overall durability and user comfort of the structure.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
