Drones can be divided into many types according to their purpose and performance, but only the following three are common:
1: Fixed-wing drones
This type of drone has a longer wingspan and is suitable for long-distance flights and high-speed cruising.
2: Rotary-wing drones
Rotary-wing drones generate lift through multiple propellers, have the ability to take off and land vertically and hover, and are suitable for areas with small spaces.
Flapping-wing drones
3: Flapping-wing drones are a new type of aircraft that imitates the flight of birds and insects, and their design is based on the principle of bionics.
The structure of a drone includes: overall structure, flight control system, power system, payload system and data link.
1. Overall structure
The overall structure of a drone generally includes:
1.1 fuselage,
1.2 wings,
1.3 tail,
1.4 landing gear and other parts.
Among them, the fuselage is an important part of the drone, mainly loaded with flight control system, power system, payload system and sensors and other related equipment. The wings and tail are to provide lift and stability, and can also carry various payloads.
Common materials for drone parts and fuselages include: aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber and composite materials.
"Shenzhen Vanmodel Technology Co. LTD" provides CNC milling services and CNC turning services, custom-producing a large number of precision drone parts.
2. Flight control system
Includes:
2.1 flight controller,
2.2 inertial measurement unit
2.3 electronic compass, etc.
The flight control system is the core part of the drone. Its main function is to control the direction, altitude and speed of the aircraft and ensure the stability and safety of the drone flight.
3. Power system
Including:
3.1 Engine
3.2 Battery
3.3 Motor
3.4 Propeller, etc.
The power system is an important part of the drone. Different types of drones may use different power systems, but their main purpose is to provide power for the drone so that it can fly in the air.
4. Payload system Payload system
Includes:
4.1 Camera,
4.2 Sensor,
4.3 Radar,
4.4 Laser rangefinder,
4.5 Electronic equipment, etc.
Among them, the camera is the most commonly used payload for drones, which can be used to take photos, videos or collect other relevant data. Sensors and radars can help drones achieve autonomous control and avoid obstacles.
5. Data link
The data link is also an important component of the UAV, which is mainly responsible for connecting the information transmission between the Drones and the ground control part. Including communication equipment and software, it enables ground operators to monitor and control the Drones.
Drones have a wide range of uses.
As an emerging technology, the application areas of drones are constantly expanding. From the previous military to civilian use, from entertainment to industrial applications, drones are changing our work and life in their unique way. With the continuous advancement of technology and the deepening of application, drones will play a more important role in the future and become an indispensable part of human society.
Drones are widely used in: aerial photography, agriculture, fire rescue, geographic mapping, power inspection, traffic monitoring, environmental monitoring, military and other aspects.
Combination of Drone and CNC Technology
Drone parts are extremely precise, and poorly made parts on a flying machine may prevent the system from working properly, resulting in manufacturing defects that may cause a crash. CNC machining technology is widely used in the fields of aerospace and UAVs, which can improve the machining accuracy of parts, especially for complex curved surfaces and special-shaped parts. Using five-axis CNC machining will greatly improve the machining accuracy.
Vanmodel is a CNC machining company in China that provides customized precision parts machining for drones.
