Abstract

A signal line protection assembly of an aerial vehicle includes a foot stand and a protection sleeve. The foot stand includes a foot stand sleeve and a lower cover including an antenna compartment configured to receive an antenna of the aerial vehicle. The protection sleeve is configured to receive a signal line. At least a portion of the protection sleeve is received in the foot stand sleeve. The signal line includes a data line for the antenna.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A signal line protection assembly of an aerial vehicle comprising:
a foot stand including:
a foot stand sleeve; and
a lower cover including an antenna compartment configured to receive an antenna of the aerial vehicle; wherein the antenna compartment is enclosed within a structure of lower cover; and
a protection sleeve configured to receive a signal line, at least a portion of the protection sleeve being received in the foot stand sleeve; wherein the signal line includes a data line for the antenna.

2. The signal line protection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the foot stand sleeve includes:
a bearing member, a first side of the bearing member being configured to bear a propulsion system; and
a receiving portion at a second side of the bearing member and configured to receive and fix the at least a portion of the protection sleeve.

3. The signal line protection assembly of claim 2 , wherein the protection sleeve is fixed to the receiving portion by glue provided at a position where the protection sleeve contacts the receiving portion.

4. The signal line protection assembly of claim 2 ,
wherein the foot stand is a first foot stand and the foot stand sleeve is a first foot stand sleeve;
the signal line protection assembly further comprising:
a second foot stand including a second foot stand sleeve;
wherein two ends of the protection sleeve are received in the first foot stand sleeve and the second foot stand sleeve, respectively.

5. The signal line protection assembly of claim 4 , wherein:
the bearing member is a first bearing member configured to bear a part of the propulsion system;
the second foot stand sleeve includes a second bearing member;
the protection sleeve includes a wire inlet;
the first bearing member and the second bearing member each include a wire outlet at a position corresponding to one end of the protection sleeve; and
the signal line enters the protection sleeve through the wire inlet, exists the protection sleeve from the ends of the protection sleeve, and further exists through the wire outlets to the propulsion system.

6. The signal line protection assembly of claim 2 , wherein the foot stand further includes an electronic speed controller compartment below the bearing member and configured to receive an electronic speed controller of the aerial vehicle.

7. The signal line protection assembly of claim 6 , wherein the receiving portion is received in the electronic speed controller compartment.

8. The signal line protection assembly of claim 6 , wherein the lower cover is below the electronic speed controller, and one end of the lower cover is connected with one end of the electronic speed controller compartment.

9. The signal line protection assembly of claim 8 , wherein the foot stand further includes a shock absorber connected between another end of the electronic speed controller compartment and another end of the lower cover.

10. The signal line protection assembly of claim 6 , wherein the signal line further includes a data line and a power line for the electronic speed controller.

11. An aerial vehicle, comprising:
a propulsion system; and a
signal line protection assembly including:
a foot stand including:
a foot stand sleeve; and
a lower cover including an antenna compartment configured to receive an antenna of the aerial vehicle; wherein the antenna compartment is enclosed within a structure of lower cover; and
a protection sleeve configured to receive a signal line, at least a portion of the protection sleeve being received in the foot stand sleeve; wherein the signal line includes a data line for the antenna.

12. The aerial vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the foot stand sleeve includes:
a bearing member, a first side of the bearing member being configured to bear the propulsion system; and
a receiving portion at a second side of the bearing member and configured to receive and fix the at least a portion of the protection sleeve.

13. The aerial vehicle of claim 12 , wherein the protection sleeve is fixed to the receiving portion by glue provided at a position where the protection sleeve contacts the receiving portion.

14. The aerial vehicle of claim 12 , wherein:
the foot stand is a first foot stand and the foot stand sleeve is a first foot stand sleeve;
the signal line protection assembly further includes a second foot stand including a second foot stand sleeve; and
two ends of the protection sleeve are received in the first foot stand sleeve and the second foot stand sleeve, respectively.

15. The aerial vehicle of claim 14 , wherein:
the bearing member is a first bearing member configured to bear a part of the propulsion system;
the second foot stand sleeve includes a second bearing member;
the protection sleeve includes a wire inlet;
the first bearing member and the second bearing member each include a wire outlet at a position corresponding to one end of the protection sleeve; and
the signal line enters the protection sleeve through the wire inlet, exists the protection sleeve from the ends of the protection sleeve, and further exists through the wire outlets to the propulsion system.

16. The aerial vehicle of claim 12 , wherein the foot stand further includes an electronic speed controller compartment below the bearing member and configured to receive an electronic speed controller of the aerial vehicle.

17. The aerial vehicle of claim 16 , wherein the receiving portion is received in the electronic speed controller compartment.

18. The aerial vehicle of claim 16 , wherein the lower cover is below the electronic speed controller, and one end of the lower cover is connected with one end of the electronic speed controller compartment.

19. The aerial vehicle of claim 18 , wherein the foot stand further includes a shock absorber connected between another end of the electronic speed controller compartment and another end of the lower cover.

20. The aerial vehicle of claim 16 , wherein the signal line further includes a data line and a power line for the electronic speed controller.
