Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drones, and more particularly to a mounting structure for drones that can prevent them from falling. [Background technology]

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles are aircraft that do not require on-board pilot operation and whose flight is controlled by remote control or autonomous programs, and flight attitude and the entire mission execution process can be controlled by ground stations, remote controls, mobile phone apps and embedded algorithms, and they are widely used in many fields, including military, civilian and industrial. The mounting structure of a drone is the mechanical and electrical connection system that attaches, fixes and supports various loads such as cameras, sensors, cargo and batteries to the drone.

[0003] A search revealed that a Chinese patent (publication number: CN221049971U) discloses a mounting structure for an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising a center fixed seat, a release plate, and a plurality of guide rails, the release plate rotatably connected to the center fixed seat, one end of the guide rail fixed to the center fixed seat, the center fixed seat connected to the body of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the guide rails provided with a rail structure and an elastic member, a mounting member attached to the guide rail via the guide rail structure, the elastic member exerting an elastic force on the mounting member in the direction of the release plate, a release groove provided in the release plate, when the release plate rotates and the release groove aligns with the guide rail, the mounting member is pushed into the release groove by the elastic force of the elastic member and released.

[0004] However, this device relies solely on the elastic force of the elastic member and the stopper structure of the release plate to maintain the loaded state of the mount member. If it encounters severe vibrations during flight, failure of the stopper structure, or attenuation of the elastic force of the elastic member, the mount member may accidentally come off the guide rail, resulting in not only mission failure but also a safety risk due to falling objects.

In this way, the provision of the locking post 23 ensures that the mount member is securely fixed in the locking groove 241 to prevent the mount member from accidentally falling off if the drone encounters severe vibrations during flight.

[0034] When it is necessary to release the mounting member, the electric telescopic column 17 moves the movable table 16 and the movable plate 27 downward, and the wedge-shaped blocks 26 engaged with the movable plate 27 slide toward each other along the horizontal grooves 111 until the locking posts 23 are disengaged from the locking holes 242, allowing the mounting member to fall by gravity, making the operation simple.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
