An unmanned aerial vehicle launch and recovery device

Abstract

A drone launch and recovery device, belonging to the field of drone control technology, includes a support frame, a big arm, and a launch / recovery platform. The boom is set on the upper part of the support frame and can rotate around the support frame. The launch / recovery platform is provided with At the outer end of the boom, the angle between it and the boom can be automatically adjusted. The launch / recovery platform is equipped with upper and lower jaws that can automatically open and merge. There is a flexible buffer strip between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. There is also a drone attitude adjustment mechanism on the lower jaw for aligning the drone. . The UAV launching and recovery device of the present invention can fit a straight path in the launch or recovery state, thereby making the process of launching and recovering the UAV more accurate and smooth. Since the UAV attitude adjustment mechanism is provided, It can reduce manual intervention during the launch and recovery process of drones.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular relates to an efficient launching and recovery device for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background technique: [0002] At present, the launch methods of fixed-wing UAVs mainly include: orbital ejection, artificial ejection, and runway launch, etc. Among them, orbital ejection needs to set up an ejection track, which occupies a large space and has a complicated structure; artificial ejection is mainly for small UAVs, and It cannot be operated without human beings; runway launches are mostly large UAVs, which need to have wheels, and the laying of the runway requires a large site. [0003] The recovery methods of small fixed-wing drones mainly include: parachute recovery, rope hook recovery, net impact recovery and runway recovery. Parachute recovery, rope hook recovery and net impact recovery require more complex supporting devices, while runway recovery requires L...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the launch methods of fixed-wing UAVs mainly include: orbital ejection, artificial ejection, and runway launch, etc. Among them, orbital ejection needs to set up an ejection track, which occupies a large space and has a complicated structure; artificial ejection is mainly for small UAVs, and It cannot be operated without human beings; runway launches are mostly large drones, which need to have wheels, and laying runways requires a larger site

[0003] The recovery methods of small fixed-wing drones mainly include: parachute recovery, rope hook recovery, net impact recovery and runway recovery. Parachute recovery, rope hook recovery and net impact recovery require more complex supporting devices, while runway recovery requires larger venue

The above devices or methods for recovery and launch are all separated, and most of them are manual intervention, low degree of automation, large supporting equipment, poor adaptability to the environment and not easy to transport
