Drone hardware refers to various metal accessories used on drones, such as Mazda shells, motor shafts, camera accessories, aluminum parts, etc.
There are many brands of these hardware accessories, such as Wofu, Chengsilin, Jingkaitai, etc. These accessories have different characteristics and uses, such as Yingtai's processing and production of corrosion-resistant sensing parts; The surface treatment of Zhongdizhu brand is optional; Jingkai Tai brand can carry out various surface treatment processes, etc.
Communicate with hardware and flight control to determine the composition of electronic components: electronic components include flight control, ESC, RF, vision, etc GPS, External IMU, external magnetometer, gimbal, others (antenna, LED, etc.) Perform a complete machine stacking layout: List all key components of the drone, including but not limited to the arm, motor, propeller, battery, gimbal, camera, tripod, and electronic components, GPS, The antenna and other positions should consider how to improve the performance of RF signal transmission and reception. General consumer imaging drones are made of plastic parts and hardware (mainly used for gimbals due to high rigidity requirements), while industry applications include drones made of plastic or carbon plates, carbon pipes, and some hardware. It's about the structural design of electronic products, considering DFM and DFA. Based on specific circumstances, it may be necessary to design some structures. Once the module PCB structure is determined during the structural design process, output the structural element diagram to the hardware drawing board. So for drone structural engineers, the structural design method is no different from other products, but first they need to be familiar with the drone system. An excellent structural engineer will actively explore all fields related to it, whether it is sensors, vision, image transmission, ground stations, or algorithms
Propellers, batteries, heat shrink tubing, etc. are all consumables and accessories for drones.
The propeller of a drone directly interacts with the air during flight, making it susceptible to wear and impact. For example, when flying in complex environments or in the event of minor collisions, propellers may be damaged, deformed, etc., affecting flight performance and requiring regular replacement. They are accessories that wear out quickly during use and are specifically designed for drones. According to the different types and sizes of drones, the size, material, and shape of the spiral award also vary. It is necessary to choose a suitable spiral award to ensure the normal flight of the drone. For example, small civilian drones may use lightweight and compact propellers, while large industrial drones require larger and more robust propellers.
