为使本公开的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开作进一步详细的说明。显然,所描述的实施例是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
参照图1,示出了本公开的一种折叠机臂处于展开位置的结构示意图, 参照图2,示出了本公开图1中的折叠机臂的剖面示意图,参照图3,示出了本公开的一种折叠机臂处于折叠位置的结构示意图,参照图4,示出了本公开图3中的折叠机臂的剖面示意图,如图1-4所示,本公开实施例公开了一种折叠机臂10,可以用于无人机100,折叠机臂10可以用于承载为无人机100提供飞行动力的电机,折叠机臂10具体可以包括:机臂本体1,机臂本体1可以包括第一本体11以及可相对于第一本体11折叠的第二本体12,使得机臂本体1可以在展开位置和折叠位置之间切换;其中,第一本体11可以与无人机100的机身20连接,第二本体12可以用于承载电机;锁紧机构3,可以用于使第一本体11及第二本体12处于展开状态或锁合状态;锁紧机构3还可以设置有感应件31,以感测第一本体11及第二本体12是否处于锁合状态。
在本公开实施例中,由于锁紧机构3设置有感应件31,感应件31可以感测第一本体11及第二本体12是否处于锁合状态,以避免在第一本体11及第二本体12未处于锁合状态的情况下启动电机,提高了折叠机臂10的使用安全,进而,还可以提高应用了折叠机臂10的无人机100的使用安全。
具体地,折叠机臂10的机臂本体1处于折叠位置的情况下,无人机100的体积可以变小,方便对无人机100的收纳和运输。
具体地,折叠机臂10上还设有锁紧机构3,锁紧机构3可以在机臂本体1展开到位的情况下,使得第一本体11及第二本体12可以处于锁合状态,使得无人机100可以正常飞行。具体地,锁紧机构3上还设有感应件31,可以感测第一本体11及第二本体12是否处于锁合状态,这样,在无人机100起飞之前,可以对折叠机臂10进行检测,避免展开的机臂本体1出现展开不到位或者松开的情况,进而避免无人机100在飞行过程中出现因异常掉落而导致损坏的现象。
在实际应用中,在无人机100起飞之前,可以通过感应件31感测第一本体11及第二本体12是否处于锁合状态,以避免无人机100在第一本体11及第二本体12未处于锁合状态下起飞后造成无人机100炸机的安全事故。
可选地,锁紧机构3可以包括第一锁紧件32和第二锁紧件34,第一锁紧件32可以设于第一本体11,第二锁紧件34可以设于第二本体12,在机 臂本体1处于展开位置的情况下,第一锁紧件32和第二锁紧件34可以锁合,以使机臂本体1保持在展开位置;第一锁紧件32可以设有触发件33,第二锁紧件34可以设有感应件31,触发件33可以与感应件31相配合,以使感应件31产生用于表示第一锁紧件32与第二锁紧件34是否锁合的感测信号。
在本公开实施例中,锁紧机构3的第一锁紧件32设在第一本体11上,第二锁紧件34设在第二本体12上,通过锁合第一锁紧件32和第二锁紧件34,使得第一本体11和第二本体12处于锁合状态,以便于将机臂本体1保持在展开位置。第一锁紧件32上设有触发件33,第二锁紧件34上设有感应件31,这样,通过检测所述感测信号即可知晓第一锁紧件32和第二锁紧件34的锁合情况,更加方便快捷。
可选地,在第一锁紧件32与第二锁紧件34锁合的情况下,感应件31能够感测到触发件33而产生一在位感测信号,所述在位感测信号能够触发无人机100开启工作模式;在第一锁紧件32与第二锁紧件34未锁合的情况下,感应件31未感测到触发件33而产生一未在位感测信号,未在位感测信号能够触发无人机100关闭工作模式。

具体地,第一锁紧件32与第二锁紧件34未锁合的情况下,触发件33与感应件31远离,使得感应件31感测不到触发件33,此时,感应件31可以产生一未在位感测信号,在此情况下,第一本体11及第二本体12处于展开状态,机臂本体1处于折叠位置,可以触发无人机100关闭工作模式。在实际应用中,机臂本体1处于折叠位置,为了避免无人机100起飞后出现异常,可以触发无人机100关闭工作模式。

在一些可选实施例中,触发件33可以为接触式触发件,感应件31可以为接触式感应件。具体地,触发件33为接触式触发件的情况下,感应件31为接触式感应件,这样,通过触发件33与感应件31的相互接触,感应件31 可快速感应到触发件33并产生感测信号,提高感应件31产生所述感测信号的灵敏性。
可选地,所述接触式触发件可以为导电件,所述接触式感应件可以为电流检测电路。由于电流检测电路可以用于检测导电件的电流变化,这样,感应件31通过感应电流变化即可感测到触发件33并产生感测信号。具体地,所述导电件可以用于作为导体导通感应件31与电源之间的连接,或者导通感应件31与控制器之间的连接等。
可选地,所述接触式触发件可以为传力件,所述接触式感应件可以为压力传感器。由于压力传感器可以用于检测传力件的压力变化,这样,感应件31通过感应压力变化既可感测到触发件33并产生感测信号。具体地,所述传力件用于作为传导力的中间件将施加于触发件33上的外力传递至感应件31上。

具体地,干簧管和霍尔传感器可以敏感磁场,对是否有磁场做出一定的电气动作,其中,干簧管在受到一定大小磁场的作用下可以导通或断开,相当于一个磁性开关,来指示磁场的有无。霍尔传感器在受到一定大小磁场的作用下,可以输出高低电平,来指示磁场的有无。在实际应用中,磁性件可以是一个永磁铁,永磁铁可以产生一定大小的磁场,磁场远离和靠近干簧管和霍尔传感器的时候,传感器可以输出不同的高低电平信号,处理器通过采集不同的高低电平信号可以判断永磁铁是远离还是靠近 干簧管和霍尔传感器。

具体地,所述电容式传感器一般可以由两个平行电极构成,在其两个电极之间以空气作为介质,在不考虑边缘效应的前提下,其电容可表示为C=εS/d,其中,ε表示两电极间介质(即空气)的介电常数,S表示两电极之间相互覆盖的面积,d表示两电极间的距离,电容受这三个参数影响,任意一参数的改变就会使得电容得以改变。可以通过改变这三个参数,来实现传声器10对于不同的防风件的识别,从而采取相应的降噪模式。
所述电容传感器可以为介质变化型(ε变化因此C变化)、面积变化型(S变化因此C变化)和极距变化型(d变化因此C变化)三种中的任意一种。
在实际应用中,所述非接触式感应件还可以为光信号发射器,所述光信号发射器可以用于发射光信号。这样,感应件31通过感应光信号的变化既可感测到触发件33并产生感测信号。
