Description

无人飞行器及其机臂连接结构Unmanned aerial vehicle and its arm connecting structure 技术领域Technical field
本发明实施例涉及无人飞行器领域,特别是一种无人飞行器及其机臂连接结构。The embodiment of the invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle and an arm connecting structure thereof.
背景技术Background technique
无人飞行器通常包括机身及从机身向外伸展的多个机臂,机臂远离机身的末端上设置一个或多个旋翼叶片,该旋翼叶片的旋转可带动无人飞行器飞行。但是,向外伸展的机臂及其上的旋翼叶片增加了无人飞行器的体积,不利于便携。为提升便携性,一种可折叠机臂的无人飞行器应运而生。An unmanned aerial vehicle usually includes a fuselage and a plurality of arms extending outward from the fuselage. One or more rotor blades are arranged on the end of the arm away from the fuselage. The rotation of the rotor blades can drive the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly. However, the outwardly extending arms and rotor blades on them increase the volume of the UAV and are not conducive to portability. To enhance portability, a folding drone has emerged.
但传统的可折叠机臂的最大展开角度为180度,即展开时机臂与机身处于相对平行的姿态。在机臂与机身相对平行的姿态下飞行,无人飞行器的稳定性和抗风性能不强,若机臂与机身存在一定的倾角,其飞行稳定性和抗风性能则能够显著提高。However, the maximum folding angle of a traditional foldable arm is 180 degrees, that is, the arm and the fuselage are in a relatively parallel posture when deployed. Flying in a relatively parallel attitude of the arm and the fuselage, the stability and wind resistance of the UAV are not strong. If the arm and the fuselage have a certain inclination, its flight stability and wind resistance can be significantly improved.
发明内容Summary of the invention
本发明实施例的目的在于提供一种能够方便折叠和/或展开机臂的无人飞行器及其机臂连接结构。An object of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of conveniently folding and / or unfolding an arm and an arm connecting structure thereof.

Fit so as to have the machine arm connection structure The arm of the UAV can be rotated relative to the fuselage of the UAV in one of the unfolded position and the folded position toward the other, and the rotation angle is greater than 180 degrees.
一种无人飞行器,包括:机身;多个机臂,所述多个机臂与机身连接;以及多个上述机臂连接结构,所述机臂连接结构能够使所述机臂相对于所述机身在展开位置与折叠位置之间旋转,旋转角度大于180度。An unmanned aerial vehicle includes: a fuselage; a plurality of arms, the plurality of arms being connected to the fuselage; and a plurality of the above-mentioned arms connecting structure, which can make the arms relative to The body rotates between an unfolded position and a folded position, and the rotation angle is greater than 180 degrees.
在上述无人飞行器的机架中,机臂可相对机身在展开位置与折叠位置之间旋转。在机臂从展开位置和折叠位置的其中之一向其中另一的旋转过程中,上离合件与下离合件相互配合,使弹性件发生弹性形变,则弹性件的弹性力矩将机臂保持机臂处于展开位置或折叠位置。因此,上述无人飞行器的机架无需手动操作锁扣,只需将机臂在展开位置与折叠位置旋转,即可实现机臂的固定。In the above-mentioned unmanned aerial vehicle frame, the arm can be rotated relative to the fuselage between an unfolded position and a folded position. During the rotation of the arm from one of the unfolded position and the folded position to the other, the upper clutch and the lower clutch cooperate with each other to elastically deform the elastic member, and the elastic moment of the elastic member holds the arm to the arm In the expanded or collapsed position. Therefore, the rack of the above-mentioned UAV does not need to manually operate the lock, and the arm can be fixed only by rotating the arm in the unfolded position and the folded position.
并且,在机臂的旋转过程中,第一配合部与第二配合部的接触点沿凸起结构移动,能够促使弹性件发生弹性形变,凸起结构的最高点与最低点之间相对应的最大圆心角大于180度。因此,机臂在展开位置或折叠位置的时候,弹性件的弹性力矩不为零,弹性力矩同样可以使机臂保持固定在展开位置或折叠位置上。当机臂折叠在机身上的时候,弹性件的弹性力矩将机臂保持稳定固定在机身上,避免机臂由于晃动不能保持固定。同样,当机臂在展开位置的时候,弹性件的弹性力矩同样将机臂保持稳定在展开位置处,避免机臂晃动,提高机臂的抗风性。In addition, during the rotation of the arm, the contact points of the first mating portion and the second mating portion move along the convex structure, which can promote the elastic deformation of the elastic member. The maximum center angle is greater than 180 degrees. Therefore, when the arm is in the unfolded or folded position, the elastic moment of the elastic member is not zero, and the elastic moment can also keep the arm fixed in the unfolded or folded position. When the arm is folded on the fuselage, the elastic moment of the elastic member keeps the arm stably fixed on the fuselage to prevent the arm from being kept fixed due to shaking. Similarly, when the arm is in the deployed position, the elastic moment of the elastic member also keeps the arm stable at the deployed position to prevent the arm from shaking and improve the wind resistance of the arm.

本发明实施例提供一种无人飞行器及其机臂连接结构,无人飞行器的机臂通过机臂连接结构的转动连接可以折叠收容于机身两侧,也可以快速展开飞行。Embodiments of the present invention provide an unmanned aerial vehicle and an arm connecting structure thereof. The arm of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be folded and housed on both sides of the fuselage through the rotational connection of the arm connecting structure, and can also be quickly deployed for flight.
请参阅图1,本实施例提供折叠状态的无人飞行器10。在本实施例中,无人飞行器10包括机身11、多个可以转动折叠的机臂12A、多个可以旋转折叠的机臂12B以及多个机臂连接结构100。在机臂12A和机臂12B上还分别搭载电机和螺旋桨13。在本实施例中,可以旋转折叠的机臂12B通过机臂连接结构100与机身11进行连接,机臂12B处于折叠状态时,其上搭载螺旋桨13的上端面朝下,此时机臂12B的折叠角度为0度。需要说明的是, 下述的机臂12B的旋转角度都是相对于折叠状态而言,即机臂12B展开时的角度时相对于折叠状态转过的角度。Referring to FIG. 1, this embodiment provides an unmanned aerial vehicle 10 in a folded state. In this embodiment, the unmanned aerial vehicle 10 includes a fuselage 11, a plurality of arms 12A that can be rotated and folded, a plurality of arms 12B that can be rotated and folded, and a plurality of arm connection structures 100. A motor and a propeller 13 are mounted on the arm 12A and the arm 12B, respectively. In this embodiment, the arm 12B that can be rotated and folded is connected to the fuselage 11 through the arm connection structure 100. When the arm 12B is in the folded state, the upper end surface on which the propeller 13 is mounted is facing downwards. The folding angle is 0 degrees. It should be noted that the rotation angles of the arms 12B described below are relative to the folded state, that is, the angles when the arms 12B are unfolded relative to the folded state.
请参阅图2,本实施例提供展开状态的无人飞行器10。其中,机身11位于无人飞行器的中心,为多个机臂12A和机臂12B提供支撑平台。机臂12A和机臂12B的一端与机身11连接,另一端用于支撑动力机构电机和螺旋桨13。Referring to FIG. 2, this embodiment provides an unmanned aerial vehicle 10 in a deployed state. Among them, the fuselage 11 is located at the center of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and provides a supporting platform for a plurality of arms 12A and 12B. One end of the arm 12A and the arm 12B is connected to the fuselage 11, and the other end is used to support the power mechanism motor and the propeller 13.
在本实施例中,机臂12A和机臂12B均处于展开状态。在机臂12B处于展开状态时,机臂12B上所搭载的螺旋桨13的上端面朝上。当动力机构以及螺旋桨13进行工作时,能够为无人飞行器提供飞行动力。In this embodiment, the arm 12A and the arm 12B are both in an expanded state. When the arm 12B is in the deployed state, the upper end surface of the propeller 13 mounted on the arm 12B faces upward. When the power mechanism and the propeller 13 are working, they can provide flying power for the unmanned aerial vehicle.
请参阅图3,机臂连接结构100设于机臂12B与机身11的连接处,用于将机臂12B与机身11进行连接。在本实施例中,机臂连接结构100为两个个,分别位于两个机臂12B与机身11的连接处,使得机臂12B能够与机身11可旋转地连接在一起。机臂连接结构100能够使机臂12B相对于机身11在展开位置与折叠位置之间旋转,具体地,机臂的旋转角度可以大于180度。Referring to FIG. 3, an arm connecting structure 100 is provided at a connection point between the arm 12B and the fuselage 11, and is used to connect the arm 12B with the fuselage 11. In this embodiment, there are two arm connecting structures 100, which are respectively located at the connection points of the two arms 12B and the fuselage 11, so that the arms 12B can be rotatably connected with the fuselage 11. The arm connecting structure 100 is capable of rotating the arm 12B relative to the body 11 between an unfolded position and a folded position. Specifically, the rotation angle of the arm may be greater than 180 degrees.
具体在本实施方式中,机臂连接结构100包括上离合件110、下离合件120、心轴130、轴套140以及弹性件150。上离合件110与下离合件120能够相互配合。心轴130贯穿于上离合件110与下离合件120之中,并能为离合件提供支撑。轴套140套设于离合件外,对离合件的运动能够起到限制作用。在轴套140内部与上离合件110之间设有一个弹性件150,弹性件150能够被压缩,提供弹性力。Specifically, in this embodiment, the arm connecting structure 100 includes an upper clutch member 110, a lower clutch member 120, a mandrel 130, a shaft sleeve 140, and an elastic member 150. The upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 can cooperate with each other. The mandrel 130 penetrates the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 and can provide support for the clutch member. The shaft sleeve 140 is sleeved outside the clutch member, and can limit the movement of the clutch member. An elastic member 150 is provided between the inside of the shaft sleeve 140 and the upper clutch member 110. The elastic member 150 can be compressed to provide elastic force.
请参阅图4及图5,上离合件110和下离合件120能够相互配合,并通过心轴130进行连接。上离合件110设有第一配合部111,下离合件120设有第二配合部121。其中,至少一个配合部111设有凸起结构。Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 can cooperate with each other, and are connected through the mandrel 130. The upper clutch 110 is provided with a first mating portion 111, and the lower clutch 120 is provided with a second mating portion 121. Among them, at least one mating portion 111 is provided with a convex structure.
在本实施例中,下离合件120的第二配合部121设有凸起结构。上离合件110的第一配合部111设有与凸起结构相适配的凹陷结构。可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,也可以是上离合件110的第一配合部111设有凸起结构。下离合件120的第二配合部121设有与凸起结构相适配的凹陷结构。凸起结构与凹陷结构能够相互配合,将上离合件110与下离合件120相配合。In this embodiment, the second mating portion 121 of the lower clutch 120 is provided with a convex structure. The first mating portion 111 of the upper clutch 110 is provided with a concave structure adapted to the convex structure. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the first mating portion 111 of the upper clutch 110 may be provided with a convex structure. The second mating portion 121 of the lower clutch 120 is provided with a concave structure adapted to the convex structure. The convex structure and the concave structure can cooperate with each other, and the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 can be matched.
更进一步地,凸起结构的最高点与最低点之间对应的最大圆心角大于180度。因此,当上离合件110与下离合件120发生相对转动的时候,上离 合件110与下离合件120通过凸起结构增大上离合件110与下离合件120之间的距离。上离合件110与下离合件120的接触点沿凸起结构转动。当接触点位于凸起结构的最高点的时候,机臂12对应位于一工作位置。当接触点位于凸起结构的最低点的时候,机臂12对应位于另一工作位置。具体地,机臂12的两个工作位置分别为折叠位置与展开位置。Furthermore, the maximum center angle corresponding to the highest point and the lowest point of the raised structure is greater than 180 degrees. Therefore, when the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 are relatively rotated, the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 increase the distance between the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 through a convex structure. The contact point between the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 rotates along the raised structure. When the contact point is at the highest point of the raised structure, the arm 12 is correspondingly located at a working position. When the contact point is at the lowest point of the raised structure, the arm 12 is correspondingly located at another working position. Specifically, the two working positions of the arm 12 are a folded position and a deployed position, respectively.
心轴130用于支撑上离合件110与下离合件120。心轴130贯穿于上离合件110与下离合件120。在机臂12通过机臂连接结构100进行旋转运动时,下离合件120能够绕心轴130转动。The mandrel 130 is used to support the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120. The mandrel 130 penetrates the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120. When the arm 12 is rotated by the arm connection structure 100, the lower clutch 120 can rotate about the mandrel 130.
轴套140套设于心轴130与上离合件110外,轴套140能够对离合件的运动起到限制作用。轴套140限制了心轴130与上离合件110的转动空间,避免上离合件110从轴套140内移出,保持上离合件110与下离合件120之间的稳定配合转动。可以理解,下离合件120也可以收容于轴套140内。The sleeve 140 is sleeved outside the mandrel 130 and the upper clutch 110, and the sleeve 140 can limit the movement of the clutch. The shaft sleeve 140 restricts the rotation space of the mandrel 130 and the upper clutch piece 110, prevents the upper clutch piece 110 from moving out of the shaft sleeve 140, and maintains a stable cooperative rotation between the upper clutch piece 110 and the lower clutch piece 120. It can be understood that the lower clutch 120 can also be accommodated in the sleeve 140.
弹性件150设于轴套140与上离合件110之间。该弹性件150与轴套140的内上壁以及上离合件的上端面接触,在上离合件110移动时,弹性件150能够被压缩,提供弹性力。可以理解,弹性件150可以为弹簧、锥簧、弹片等。The elastic member 150 is disposed between the shaft sleeve 140 and the upper clutch member 110. The elastic member 150 is in contact with the inner upper wall of the shaft sleeve 140 and the upper end surface of the upper clutch member. When the upper clutch member 110 moves, the elastic member 150 can be compressed to provide elastic force. It can be understood that the elastic member 150 may be a spring, a cone spring, an elastic piece, or the like.
在上述无人飞行器10中,机臂12B可相对机身11在展开位置与折叠位置之间旋转。在机臂12B从展开位置和折叠位置之其中一者向另一者旋转过程中,上离合件110与下离合件120相对转动,第一配合部111与第二配合部121的边沿相接触移动,此时,上离合件110在运动过程中沿着心轴130的轴向方向移动,压缩弹性件,从而使弹性件150发生弹性形变,产生弹性力。当上离合件110与下离合件120转过一定角度,并到达另一配合角度时,在弹性力的作用下,能够使上离合件110与下离合件120紧密配合,此时,弹性件150的弹性力矩将机臂12B保持展开位置或折叠位置。因此,上述无人飞行器的机架无需手动操作锁扣,只需将机臂12B在展开位置与折叠位置旋转,即可实现机臂12B的固定。In the UAV 10 described above, the arm 12B is rotatable relative to the fuselage 11 between an unfolded position and a folded position. During the rotation of the arm 12B from one of the unfolded position and the folded position to the other, the upper clutch 110 and the lower clutch 120 are relatively rotated, and the edges of the first engaging portion 111 and the second engaging portion 121 move in contact with each other. At this time, the upper clutch member 110 moves along the axial direction of the mandrel 130 during the movement, and compresses the elastic member, thereby elastically deforming the elastic member 150 and generating elastic force. When the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 rotate through a certain angle and reach another mating angle, the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 can be closely fitted under the action of the elastic force. At this time, the elastic member 150 The elastic moment of force keeps the arm 12B in the extended position or the folded position. Therefore, the rack of the UAV described above does not need to manually operate the lock, and the arm 12B can be fixed only by rotating the arm 12B in the unfolded position and the folded position.
具体在本实施方式中,当第一配合部111与第二配合部121的接触点沿凸起结构转动,推动第一配合部111沿心轴130方向移动,促使弹性件150发生弹性形变产生弹性力,上离合件110与下离合件120在弹性力的作用下紧密配合,从而使具有机臂连接结构100的无人飞行器的机臂12B能够相对 于无人飞行器的机身11在展开位置和折叠位置之其中一者向另一者旋转,旋转角度大于180度。Specifically, in this embodiment, when the contact point between the first mating portion 111 and the second mating portion 121 rotates along the convex structure, the first mating portion 111 is pushed to move in the direction of the mandrel 130, and the elastic member 150 is caused to undergo elastic deformation and generate elasticity. The upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 cooperate closely under the action of the elastic force, so that the arm 12B of the unmanned aerial vehicle having the arm connection structure 100 can be in the unfolded position and the fuselage 11 of the unmanned aerial vehicle. One of the folded positions is rotated toward the other, and the rotation angle is greater than 180 degrees.
因此,在机臂12B工作位置进行切换的旋转过程中,由于凸起结构的最高点与最低点之间相对应的最大圆心角大于180度。因此,机臂12B在展开位置或折叠位置的时候,弹性件150的弹性力矩均不为零,弹性力矩同样可以使机臂12B保持固定在展开位置或折叠位置上。当机臂12折叠在机身11上的时候,弹性件150的弹性力矩将机臂12B保持稳定固定在机身11上,避免机臂12B由于连接结构100内部的配合不够紧密而出现晃动不能保持固定。同样,当机臂12B在展开位置的时候,弹性件150的弹性力矩同样将机臂12B保持稳定在展开位置处,避免机臂12B晃动,提高机臂12B的连接可靠性和稳定性。Therefore, during the rotation of switching the working position of the arm 12B, the maximum center angle corresponding to the highest point and the lowest point of the raised structure is greater than 180 degrees. Therefore, when the arm 12B is in the unfolded or folded position, the elastic moment of the elastic member 150 is not zero, and the elastic moment can also keep the arm 12B fixed in the unfolded or folded position. When the arm 12 is folded on the fuselage 11, the elastic moment of the elastic member 150 keeps the arm 12B stably fixed on the fuselage 11 to prevent the arm 12B from shaking due to insufficient internal cooperation of the connection structure 100. fixed. Similarly, when the arm 12B is in the deployed position, the elastic moment of the elastic member 150 also keeps the arm 12B in the deployed position to prevent the arm 12B from shaking and improve the connection reliability and stability of the arm 12B.
并且,上述无人飞行器的机臂连接结构100可以实现机臂12B在大于或等于180的折叠范围内可靠的工作。In addition, the aforementioned arm connection structure 100 of the unmanned aerial vehicle can achieve reliable operation of the arm 12B in a folding range greater than or equal to 180.
具体在本实施方式中,凸起结构包括内层凸起122和外层凸起123。内层凸起122和外层凸起123为非对称设置。与凸起结构相对应的凹陷结构包括内层凹陷112和外层凹陷113。相应地,内层凹陷112与外层凹陷113为非对称设置。内层凸起122与内层凹陷112相适配,外层凸起123与外层凹陷113相适配。Specifically, in this embodiment, the protrusion structure includes an inner layer protrusion 122 and an outer layer protrusion 123. The inner layer protrusion 122 and the outer layer protrusion 123 are arranged asymmetrically. The depression structure corresponding to the raised structure includes an inner layer depression 112 and an outer layer depression 113. Accordingly, the inner-layer depression 112 and the outer-layer depression 113 are arranged asymmetrically. The inner layer protrusion 122 is adapted to the inner layer depression 112, and the outer layer protrusion 123 is adapted to the outer layer depression 113.
内层凸起122与内层凹陷112,外层凸起123与外层凹陷113的边沿能够通紧密配合。当两离合件相对转动时,内层凸起122的最高点和内层凹陷112的边沿以及外层凸起123的最高点与外层凹陷113的边沿均有一接触点。从而使得,上离合件110与下离合件120在转动时能够通过上述两个接触点进行接触,同时在两离合件内部依靠心轴130做支撑,避免在转动的过程中发生晃动,影响机臂12的稳定性。The edges of the inner layer protrusion 122 and the inner layer depression 112, and the outer layer protrusion 123 and the outer layer depression 113 can closely fit with each other. When the two clutch members rotate relative to each other, the highest point of the inner layer protrusion 122 and the edge of the inner layer depression 112 and the highest point of the outer layer protrusion 123 and the edge of the outer layer depression 113 all have a contact point. Therefore, the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 can contact each other through the above two contact points during rotation, and at the same time rely on the mandrel 130 inside the two clutch members to avoid shaking during the rotation and affect the arm 12 stability.
具体地,内层凸起122为弧形凸起,内层凸起122的表面为弧形面。外层凸起123为弧形凸起,外层凸起123的表面为弧形面。相应地,外层凸起123及外层凸起123的表面为弧形面。Specifically, the inner layer protrusion 122 is an arc-shaped protrusion, and the surface of the inner layer protrusion 122 is an arc-shaped surface. The outer layer protrusion 123 is an arc-shaped protrusion, and the surface of the outer layer protrusion 123 is an arc-shaped surface. Accordingly, the surfaces of the outer layer protrusions 123 and the outer layer protrusions 123 are arc-shaped surfaces.
弧形面方便上离合件110与下离合件120之间发生转动。并且,内层凸起122与外层凸起123的弧形面为非对称结构。The curved surface facilitates rotation between the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120. In addition, the arc-shaped surfaces of the inner layer protrusions 122 and the outer layer protrusions 123 have an asymmetric structure.
请参阅图6,内层凹陷112为弧形凹陷,弧形凹陷的表面为弧形面。内 层凹陷112包括两个最低点。两个最低点对应的最大圆心角A大于180度。具体在本实施方式中,两个最低点对应的最大圆心角A为200度。Referring to FIG. 6, the inner-layer depression 112 is an arc-shaped depression, and the surface of the arc-shaped depression is an arc-shaped surface. The inner depression 112 includes two lowest points. The maximum center point angle A corresponding to the two lowest points is greater than 180 degrees. Specifically, in this embodiment, the maximum center angle A corresponding to the two lowest points is 200 degrees.
外层凹陷113为弧形凹陷,弧形凹陷的表面为弧形面。外层凹陷113包括两个最低点,两个最低点对应的最大圆心角B大于180度。具体在本实施方式中,两个最低点对应的最大圆心角B为200度。内层凹陷112和外层凹陷113的弧形面的最低点将弧形面分为圆心角分别为200度及160度的两个部分。即,内层凹陷112与外层凹陷113的弧形面为非对称结构。凸起结构的两个最高点与凹陷结构的两个最低点形成心轴130转动的两个死点位置。在所述的两个位置,内外凹陷和内外凸起能够紧密配合,形成机臂12B的折叠或展开位置。The outer-layer depression 113 is an arc-shaped depression, and the surface of the arc-shaped depression is an arc-shaped surface. The outer layer depression 113 includes two lowest points, and the maximum center angle B corresponding to the two lowest points is greater than 180 degrees. Specifically, in this embodiment, the maximum center angle B corresponding to the two lowest points is 200 degrees. The lowest points of the arc-shaped surfaces of the inner layer depression 112 and the outer-layer depression 113 divide the arc surface into two parts with center angles of 200 degrees and 160 degrees, respectively. That is, the arc-shaped surfaces of the inner layer depression 112 and the outer layer depression 113 are asymmetric structures. The two highest points of the raised structure and the two lowest points of the recessed structure form two dead points of the rotation of the mandrel 130. In these two positions, the inner and outer depressions and the inner and outer protrusions can be closely matched to form a folded or unfolded position of the arm 12B.
因此,内层凸起122配合内层凹陷112,外层凸起123配合外层凹陷113,使机臂12折叠范围在小于200度的时候,均可以保证弹性件150的弹性力矩均不为零,保证机臂12能够稳定的处于折叠位置或展开位置。Therefore, the inner layer protrusion 122 cooperates with the inner layer depression 112 and the outer layer protrusion 123 cooperates with the outer layer depression 113, so that when the folding range of the arm 12 is less than 200 degrees, it can be ensured that the elastic moment of the elastic member 150 is not zero. To ensure that the arm 12 can be stably in the folded position or the unfolded position.
请参阅图7,在机臂旋转角度为0°时,即机臂处于图7所示的折叠状态时,上离合件110与下离合件120之间相互配合,内层凸起122和内层凹陷112相互吻合。Please refer to FIG. 7, when the rotation angle of the arm is 0 °, that is, when the arm is in the folded state shown in FIG. 7, the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 cooperate with each other, and the inner layer protrusion 122 and the inner layer The depressions 112 coincide with each other.
请参阅图8,在机臂旋转角度为100°时,即机臂处于折叠状态向展开状态旋转过程中时,上离合件110与下离合件120之间相互配合,内层凸起122顶起内层凹陷112,外层凸起123顶起外层凹陷11,压缩弹性件150。Please refer to FIG. 8, when the rotation angle of the arm is 100 °, that is, when the arm is in the folded state and rotated to the unfolded state, the upper clutch member 110 and the lower clutch member 120 cooperate with each other, and the inner layer protrusion 122 rises The inner layer depression 112 and the outer layer protrusion 123 push up the outer layer depression 11 and compress the elastic member 150.
请参阅图9,在机臂旋转角度为200°时,即机臂处于图2所示的机臂展开状态时,上离合件110与下离合件120之间相互配合,外层凸起123与外层凹陷11相互吻合。Referring to FIG. 9, when the rotation angle of the arm is 200 °, that is, when the arm is in the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2, the upper clutch 110 and the lower clutch 120 cooperate with each other, and the outer protrusion 123 and The outer depressions 11 coincide with each other.
上离合件110与轴套140的内侧壁卡合连接。则转动下离合件120时,上离合件110由于轴套内侧壁上的卡合连接的限制,会沿着心轴130进行轴向移动,从而压弹性件140。具体地,上离合件110上设有卡槽114,轴套140上设有与卡槽114相配合的凸起(图未示)。The upper clutch member 110 is engaged with the inner wall of the shaft sleeve 140. Then, when the lower clutch member 120 is rotated, the upper clutch member 110 moves axially along the mandrel 130 due to the restriction of the engagement connection on the inner wall of the shaft sleeve, thereby pressing the elastic member 140.
