Abstract

Embodiments of the present application are a UAV foot stand and a UAV. The UAV foot stand includes a main body, a mounting board, and a support structure, where one end of the main body is provided with a lightening cavity, one end of the main body that is provided with the lightening cavity extends outward to form the mounting board, the support structure is fixed to the main body, and the support structure at least partially extends into the lightening cavity and is connected to an inner wall of the lightening cavity, so as to increase rigidity of the main body.

Claims (18)

1. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) foot stand, comprising: a main body, a mounting board, and a support structure, wherein one end of the main body is provided with a lightening cavity, the end of the main body that is provided with the lightening cavity extends outward to form the mounting board, the support structure is fixed to the main body, and the support structure at least partially extends into the lightening cavity and is connected to an inner wall of the lightening cavity, so as to increase rigidity of the main body; wherein the support structure comprises a first reinforcing rib, wherein the first reinforcing rib is accommodated in the lightening cavity in a direction parallel to a radial direction of the lightening cavity, two ends of the first reinforcing rib are separately connected to the inner wall of the lightening cavity in an axial direction of the lightening cavity, and the first reinforcing rib extends from one end that is close to the mounting board to one end that faces away from the mounting board.

2. The UAV foot stand according to claim 1 , wherein the support structure further comprises a second reinforcing rib, wherein the second reinforcing rib is accommodated in the lightening cavity in a direction parallel to the radial direction of the lightening cavity, two ends of the second reinforcing rib are separately connected to the inner wall of the lightening cavity in the axial direction of the lightening cavity, and the second reinforcing rib extends from one end that is close to the mounting board to one end that faces away from the mounting board.

3. The UAV foot stand according to claim 2 , wherein the second reinforcing rib is arranged orthogonal to the first reinforcing rib, or the second reinforcing rib is arranged parallel to the first reinforcing rib.

4. The UAV foot stand according to claim 1 , wherein the support structure comprises a butting portion and a connection portion, the butting portion is annular, the butting portion at least partially extends into the lightening cavity and is attached to the inner wall of the lightening cavity, one end of the butting portion that is close to the mounting board extends outward to form the connection portion, and the connection portion is fixed to the mounting board.

5. The UAV foot stand according to claim 4 , wherein the support structure is made of metal.

6. The UAV foot stand according to claim 5 , wherein the support structure is detachably fixed to the mounting board;

or the support structure is injection-molded together with the main body and the mounting board as an insert.

7. The UAV foot stand according to claim 1 , further comprising a protective wall, wherein the protective wall is annular, one end of the protective wall is connected to the mounting board, and an other end of the protective wall extends toward one end that is away from the main body.

8. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising a fuselage and arms mounted on the fuselage, and further comprising the UAV foot stand,

wherein the UAV foot stand comprising: a main body, a mounting board, and a support structure, wherein one end of the main body is provided with a lightening cavity, the end of the main body that is provided with the lightening cavity extends outward to form the mounting board, the support structure is fixed to the main body, and the support structure at least partially extends into the lightening cavity and is connected to an inner wall of the lightening cavity, so as to increase rigidity of the main body; wherein the UAV foot stand is mounted to the arm through the mounting board; wherein the support structure comprises a first reinforcing rib, wherein the first reinforcing rib is accommodated in the lightening cavity in a direction parallel to a radial direction of the lightening cavity, two ends of the first reinforcing rib are separately connected to the inner wall of the lightening cavity in an axial direction of the lightening cavity, and the first reinforcing rib extends from one end that is close to the mounting board to one end that faces away from the mounting board.

9. The UAV according to claim 8 , wherein the support structure further comprises a second reinforcing rib, wherein the second reinforcing rib is accommodated in the lightening cavity in a direction parallel to the radial direction of the lightening cavity, two ends of the second reinforcing rib are separately connected to the inner wall of the lightening cavity in the axial direction of the lightening cavity, and the second reinforcing rib extends from one end that is close to the mounting board to one end that faces away from the mounting board.

10. The UAV according to claim 9 , wherein the second reinforcing rib is arranged orthogonal to the first reinforcing rib, or the second reinforcing rib is arranged parallel to the first reinforcing rib.

11. The UAV according to claim 8 , wherein the support structure comprises a butting portion and a connection portion, the butting portion is annular, the butting portion at least partially extends into the lightening cavity and is attached to the inner wall of the lightening cavity, one end of the butting portion that is close to the mounting board extends outward to form the connection portion, and the connection portion is fixed to the mounting board.

12. The UAV according to claim 11 , wherein the support structure is made of metal.

13. The UAV according to claim 12 , wherein the support structure is detachably fixed to the mounting board;

or the support structure is injection-molded together with the main body and the mounting board as an insert.

14. The UAV according to claim 8 , further comprising a protective wall, wherein the protective wall is annular, one end of the protective wall is connected to the mounting board, and an other end of the protective wall extends toward one end that is away from the main body.

15. The UAV according to claim 8 , wherein the UAV further comprises a positioning module, wherein the positioning module comprises a boss and a groove that match with each other, one of the boss and the groove is provided at one end of the mounting board that is close to the arm, and an other of the boss and the groove is provided at one end of the arm that is close to the mounting board.
