On the other hand, the fixing portion 4R has a mounting portion 4Ra and a pressing portion 4Rb. The mounting portion 4Ra is formed in a tubular shape. The pressing portion 4Rb is provided below the mounting portion 4Ra. The pressing portion 4Rb has a groove portion 4Rc extending in the front-rear direction on the lower surface thereof, and is formed in a downward concave shape. The ground contact portion 65b of the leg portion 65R can be fitted into the groove portion 4Rc.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the adjusting mechanism 8 has a first adjusting unit 9 and a second adjusting unit 10. One fixing portion 4L is provided on each of the left portion of the first adjusting portion 9 and the left portion of the second adjusting portion 10. The other fixing portion 4R is provided on the right portion of the first adjusting portion 9 and the right portion of the second adjusting portion 10, respectively. The first adjusting unit 9 and the second adjusting unit 10 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction. The first adjusting unit 9 is arranged in front of the center of the top plate 3 in the front-rear direction. The second adjusting unit 10 is arranged behind the center of the top plate 3 in the front-rear direction. The configuration of the first adjusting unit 9 and the configuration of the second adjusting unit 10 are the same.
 図7に示すように、第1調整部9及び第2調整部10は、天板3に固定される固定部材11と、この固定部材11に取り付けられる支持杆12とを有する。固定部材11は、天板3の上面にボルトや溶接等によって固定される。支持杆12は、固定部材11に対して取付具(ボルト13、蝶ナット14)により取り付けられている。具体的には、支持杆12には、上下方向に延びる貫通孔が形成されており、当該貫通孔にボルト13が下方から挿通されている。ボルト13の先端(上端)は支持杆12から上方に突出し、当該突出部分に蝶ナット14が螺合されている。支持杆12は、固定部材11から一方側(左側)と他方側(右側)にそれぞれ延びている。支持杆12は、天板3の上面から上方に離間して配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 7, the first adjusting portion 9 and the second adjusting portion 10 have a fixing member 11 fixed to the top plate 3 and a support rod 12 attached to the fixing member 11. The fixing member 11 is fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 3 by bolts, welding, or the like. The support rod 12 is attached to the fixing member 11 by a fixture (bolt 13, wing nut 14). Specifically, the support rod 12 is formed with a through hole extending in the vertical direction, and the bolt 13 is inserted through the through hole from below. The tip (upper end) of the bolt 13 protrudes upward from the support rod 12, and the wing nut 14 is screwed into the protruding portion. The support rod 12 extends from the fixing member 11 to one side (left side) and the other side (right side), respectively. The support rod 12 is arranged so as to be separated upward from the upper surface of the top plate 3.
 支持杆12の一方側(左側)には、一方固定部4Lの取付部4Laが取り付けられる。支持杆12の他方側(右側)には、他方固定部4Rの取付部4Raが取り付けられる。具体的には、筒状に形成された取付部4La及び取付部4Raに支持杆12が挿通されている。これにより、図7に矢印Cで示すように、一方固定部4L及び他方固定部4Rは、支持杆12に沿ってスライド移動可能となる。 On one side (left side) of the support rod 12, the attachment portion 4La of the one fixing portion 4L is attached. On the other side (right side) of the support rod 12, the attachment portion 4Ra of the other fixing portion 4R is attached. Specifically, the support rod 12 is inserted through the mounting portion 4La and the mounting portion 4Ra formed in a tubular shape. As a result, as shown by the arrow C in FIG. 7, the one fixing portion 4L and the other fixing portion 4R can be slidably moved along the support rod 12.
 図1、図7に示すように、押さえ部4Lbの溝部4Lcに脚部65Lの接地部65bを嵌め入れ、押さえ部4Rbの溝部4Rcに脚部65Rの接地部65bを嵌め入れ、蝶ナット14をボルト13に対して締め付けることにより、脚部65L,65Rを固定部4に固定することができる。
 一方固定部4Lは、支持杆12に対する一方固定部4Lの位置を固定する位置決め部4Ldを有する。他方固定部4Rは、支持杆12に対する他方固定部4Rの位置を固定する位置決め部4Rdを有する。位置決め部4Ldの構成と位置決め部4Rdの構成は同じであるため、代表して位置決め部4Ldの構成について説明する。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the ground contact portion 65b of the leg portion 65L is fitted into the groove portion 4Lc of the holding portion 4Lb, the ground contact portion 65b of the leg portion 65R is fitted into the groove portion 4Rc of the holding portion 4Rb, and the wing nut 14 is inserted. By tightening the bolt 13, the legs 65L and 65R can be fixed to the fixing portion 4.
On the other hand, the fixing portion 4L has a positioning portion 4Ld that fixes the position of the fixing portion 4L with respect to the support rod 12. The other fixing portion 4R has a positioning portion 4Rd that fixes the position of the other fixing portion 4R with respect to the support rod 12. Since the configuration of the positioning unit 4Ld and the configuration of the positioning unit 4Rd are the same, the configuration of the positioning unit 4Ld will be described as a representative.
 位置決め部4Ldは、取付部4Laの上部に形成された雌ねじ部4aと、この雌ねじ部4aに螺合された止めねじ4bとを有する。止めねじ4bを回転させて雌ねじ部4aに対して下方に移動させ、止めねじ4bの先端(下端)を支持杆12に圧接させることにより、一方固定部4Lが支持杆12に沿ってスライド移動不能となる。これにより、一方固定部4Lを支持杆12に対して位置決めすることができる。同様に、位置決め部4Rdによって、他方固定部4Rを支持杆12に対して位置決めすることができる。 The positioning portion 4Ld has a female screw portion 4a formed on the upper portion of the mounting portion 4La and a set screw 4b screwed into the female screw portion 4a. By rotating the set screw 4b to move it downward with respect to the female thread portion 4a and pressing the tip (lower end) of the set screw 4b against the support rod 12, the fixing portion 4L cannot slide along the support rod 12. It becomes. As a result, the fixing portion 4L can be positioned with respect to the support rod 12. Similarly, the positioning portion 4Rd can position the other fixed portion 4R with respect to the support rod 12.
 上記した調整機構8によれば、一方固定部4L及び他方固定部4Rを支持杆12に沿ってスライド移動させることにより、一方固定部4Lと他方固定部4Rとの間隔を調整することができる。また、一方固定部4Lと他方固定部4Rとを間隔を調整した状態で位置決めすることができる。そのため、マルチコプター60の脚部65Lと脚部65Rとの間隔に合わせて一方固定部4Lと他方固定部4Rとの間隔を調整することによって、一対の脚部の間隔(脚部65Lと脚部65Rとの間隔)が異なる様々な大きさのマルチコプター60の脚部を確実に固定することができる。 According to the adjustment mechanism 8 described above, the distance between the one fixing portion 4L and the other fixing portion 4R can be adjusted by sliding the one fixing portion 4L and the other fixing portion 4R along the support rod 12. Further, the one fixed portion 4L and the other fixed portion 4R can be positioned in a state where the distance is adjusted. Therefore, by adjusting the distance between the one fixed portion 4L and the other fixed portion 4R according to the distance between the leg portion 65L and the leg portion 65R of the multicopter 60, the distance between the pair of legs (leg portion 65L and the leg portion) is adjusted. The legs of the multicopters 60 having different sizes (with a distance from the 65R) can be reliably fixed.
 尚、調整機構8の構成は、上述した構成には限定されず、一方固定部4Lと他方固定部4Rとの間隔を調整可能であれば他の構成を採用してもよい。
 図8、図9は、調整機構8の別の実施形態の一例を示している。この別の実施形態の調整機構8を第2調整機構8Aという。以下、第2調整機構8Aについて説明するが、上述した調整機構8と同じ構成については説明を省略する。
The configuration of the adjusting mechanism 8 is not limited to the above-described configuration, and another configuration may be adopted as long as the distance between the fixing portion 4L on the one hand and the fixing portion 4R on the other side can be adjusted.
8 and 9 show an example of another embodiment of the adjusting mechanism 8. The adjusting mechanism 8 of this other embodiment is referred to as a second adjusting mechanism 8A. Hereinafter, the second adjusting mechanism 8A will be described, but the description of the same configuration as that of the adjusting mechanism 8 described above will be omitted.
 図9に示すように、第2調整機構8Aは、第1調整部9Aと第2調整部10Aとを有する。第1調整部9Aと第2調整部10Aとは前後方向に間隔をあけて配置されている。第1調整部9Aは、天板3の前後方向中心よりも前方に配置されている。第2調整部10Aは、天板3の前後方向中心よりも後方に配置されている。第1調整部9Aの構成と第2調整部10Aの構成は同じである。 As shown in FIG. 9, the second adjusting mechanism 8A has a first adjusting unit 9A and a second adjusting unit 10A. The first adjusting unit 9A and the second adjusting unit 10A are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction. The first adjusting unit 9A is arranged in front of the center of the top plate 3 in the front-rear direction. The second adjusting unit 10A is arranged behind the center of the top plate 3 in the front-rear direction. The configuration of the first adjusting unit 9A and the configuration of the second adjusting unit 10A are the same.
 図8に示すように、第1調整部9A及び第2調整部10Aは、天板3に固定される固定部材11Aと、この固定部材11Aに取り付けられる支持杆12Aとを有する。固定部材11Aは、天板3の上面にボルトや溶接等によって固定される。固定部材11Aには、軸受等により支持された支軸15が設けられている。固定部材11Aは、前後方向の軸心回りに回動可能である。支持杆12Aは、固定部材11Aから一方側(左側)に延びる一方支持杆12ALと他方側(右側)に延びる他方支持杆12ARとから構成されている。支持杆12Aは、固定部材11A側にある基端部12aが支軸15に取り付けられている。これにより、支持杆12Aは、支軸15を支点として上方又は下方に回動することができる(図8の矢印D参照)。 As shown in FIG. 8, the first adjusting portion 9A and the second adjusting portion 10A have a fixing member 11A fixed to the top plate 3 and a support rod 12A attached to the fixing member 11A. The fixing member 11A is fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 3 by bolts, welding, or the like. The fixing member 11A is provided with a support shaft 15 supported by a bearing or the like. The fixing member 11A is rotatable around an axial center in the front-rear direction. The support rod 12A is composed of one support rod 12AL extending from the fixing member 11A to one side (left side) and the other support rod 12AR extending to the other side (right side). The support rod 12A has a base end portion 12a on the fixing member 11A side attached to the support shaft 15. As a result, the support rod 12A can rotate upward or downward with the support shaft 15 as a fulcrum (see arrow D in FIG. 8).
 第2調整機構8Aは、支持杆12Aを下方に回動した状態(水平状態)で受け止める受け止め部材22を有する。受け止め部材22は、天板3の上面に取り付けられている。図示していないが、支持杆12Aには係合部が設けられ、受け止め部材22には被係合部が設けられている。支持杆12Aを下方に回動した状態で被係合部に対して係合部を係合することにより、支持杆12Aは受け止め部材22に止められて上方への回動が阻止された状態となる。被係合部に対する係合部の係合を解除することにより、支持杆12Aは上方への回動が可能となる。 The second adjusting mechanism 8A has a receiving member 22 that receives the support rod 12A in a state of being rotated downward (horizontal state). The receiving member 22 is attached to the upper surface of the top plate 3. Although not shown, the support rod 12A is provided with an engaging portion, and the receiving member 22 is provided with an engaged portion. By engaging the engaging portion with the engaged portion while the support rod 12A is rotated downward, the support rod 12A is stopped by the receiving member 22 and is prevented from rotating upward. Become. By disengaging the engaging portion with the engaged portion, the support rod 12A can rotate upward.
 一方支持杆12ALの一方側(左側)には、一方固定部4Lの取付部4Laが取り付けられる。他方支持杆12ARの他方側(右側)には、他方固定部4Rの取付部4Raが取り付けられる。具体的には、筒状に形成された取付部4La及び取付部4Raに支持杆12Aが挿通されている。これにより、一方固定部4L及び他方固定部4Rは、支持杆12Aに沿ってスライド移動可能となる(図8の矢印E参照)。 On one side (left side) of the one-side support rod 12AL, the attachment portion 4La of the one-side fixing portion 4L is attached. On the other side (right side) of the other support rod 12AR, the attachment portion 4Ra of the other fixing portion 4R is attached. Specifically, the support rod 12A is inserted through the mounting portion 4La and the mounting portion 4Ra formed in a tubular shape. As a result, the one fixing portion 4L and the other fixing portion 4R can be slidably moved along the support rod 12A (see arrow E in FIG. 8).
 また、一方固定部4Lは、支持杆12Aに対する一方固定部4Lの位置を固定する位置決め部4Ldを有する。他方固定部4Rは、支持杆12Aに対する他方固定部4Rの位置を固定する位置決め部4Rdを有する。
 上記した第2調整機構8Aによれば、支持杆12Aを下方に回動して、押さえ部4Lbの溝部4Lcに脚部65Lの接地部65bを嵌め入れ、押さえ部4Rbの溝部4Rcに脚部65Rの接地部65bを嵌め入れた後、被係合部に対して係合部を係合することにより、脚部65L,65Rを固定部4に固定することができる。また、一方固定部4L及び他方固定部4Rを支持杆12Aに沿ってスライド移動させることにより、マルチコプター60の脚部65Lと脚部65Rとの間隔に合わせて一方固定部4Lと他方固定部4Rとの間隔を調整することができる。
Further, the one-sided fixing portion 4L has a positioning portion 4Ld for fixing the position of the one-sided fixing portion 4L with respect to the support rod 12A. The other fixing portion 4R has a positioning portion 4Rd that fixes the position of the other fixing portion 4R with respect to the support rod 12A.
According to the second adjusting mechanism 8A described above, the support rod 12A is rotated downward to fit the ground contact portion 65b of the leg portion 65L into the groove portion 4Lc of the holding portion 4Lb, and the leg portion 65R is fitted into the groove portion 4Rc of the holding portion 4Rb. The legs 65L and 65R can be fixed to the fixing portion 4 by engaging the engaging portion with the engaged portion after fitting the grounding portion 65b of the above. Further, by sliding the one fixing portion 4L and the other fixing portion 4R along the support rod 12A, the one fixing portion 4L and the other fixing portion 4R are adjusted to the distance between the leg portion 65L and the leg portion 65R of the multicopter 60. The interval with and can be adjusted.
