Drone Mission Equipment Mount With U-Shaped Damping Frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing drones face challenges in mounting mission equipment that require flexible imaging capabilities, maintain a stable center of gravity, minimize vibration transfer, and enhance control performance, particularly when imaging structures above or below their flight altitude, and are costly and difficult to maintain.
Innovation Solution
A mission equipment mount apparatus with a ⊏-shaped damping part, comprising first, second, and third damping parts, a mount part, and a connecting part, which allows for flexible mounting of mission equipment on the front of the drone, using individual dampers and modular frames to stabilize and connect the equipment effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If mission equipment is mounted on the lower center part of the drone, then the center of gravity remains stable, but imaging of structures higher than the flight altitude is difficult due to interference with the drone body
Solution Approach 1:
The damping part is divided into multiple damping parts (first, second, third damping parts) connected in sequence, allowing the mission equipment to be positioned forward while maintaining balance through distributed damping elements along the longitudinal axis
Solution Approach 2:
The damping part extends in the longitudinal direction of the drone body rather than only laterally, creating a spatial arrangement that allows imaging of higher structures while maintaining center of gravity stability through longitudinal distribution of mass
2Stability of the object's composition
If mission equipment is mounted on the lower center part of the drone, then center of gravity stability is maintained, but vibration transfer from the drone body to the equipment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The damping part is segmented into multiple damping parts (first, second, third damping parts) that are disposed at different locations along the longitudinal axis, distributing the vibration isolation function across multiple points to more effectively reduce vibration transfer
Solution Approach 2:
The damping part acts as an intermediary component between the drone body and the mission equipment, using multiple damping parts to mediate and reduce vibration transmission from the drone body to the sensitive imaging equipment
3Stability of the object's composition
If mission equipment is mounted on the lower center part of the drone, then center of gravity stability is maintained, but maintenance and detaching of equipment becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into distinct components (damping part, mount part, connecting part) that can be independently accessed and maintained, with the mount part positioned forward for easier accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting part enables dynamic reconfiguration of the mission equipment position, allowing easy attachment and detachment while maintaining operational flexibility and accessibility for maintenance
4Adaptability or versatility
If a drone with integrated mission equipment is used, then imaging capability is achieved, but the system becomes expensive and difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The damping part and mount part are designed as universal, standardized components that can accommodate different types of mission equipment, allowing the same base structure to serve multiple imaging functions without requiring custom-integrated solutions
Solution Approach 2:
The system is divided into separable modules (damping part, mount part, connecting part, mission equipment), allowing independent maintenance and replacement of the mission equipment without affecting the drone body, thereby reducing overall system maintenance complexity
