[0031] See also Figure 1-8A vehicle-mounted UAV platform comprises a vehicle body (1) and a UAV platform arranged on the vehicle body (1), wherein the UAV platform is located at the rear side of the vehicle body (1), and the vehicle body (1) is preferably a pickup truck or a truck. The UAV platform comprises a plurality of extendable parking panels (2), the parking panels (2) are arranged longitudinally, and each parking panel (2) is extended separately. A power device (21) is connected below the parking panels (2), and the power device is fixed to the vehicle body (1). The power device (21) is started to extend the parking panels (2) out of the vehicle body (1). Thus, the UAV is exposed. The power device 3 (21) can be a hydraulic cylinder or other power mechanism.

A receiving portion (22) for accommodating the locking device (4) is provided below the stop plate (2). The landing gear (5) includes a bottom plate (51), a diagonal brace and a fixing plate connected to the UAV. The adsorption device (3) is used to temporarily fix the UAV, and the UAV is fixed after adsorption by the locking device (4).

[0032] The adsorption device (3) comprises an upper suction piece (31) arranged on the landing gear (5), a lifting plate (32) and an electromagnet plate (33) arranged on the lifting plate (32); a receiving portion (22) for receiving the locking device (4) is arranged below the parking plate (2); the upper suction piece (31) is fixed on the diagonal brace; the lifting plate (32) corresponds to the bottom plate (51) of the landing gear (5) in a one-to-one manner; the lifting plate (32) is connected to a power device (34); two The lifting plates (32) are fixed by connecting plates, and the power device (34) is fixed to the bottom wall of the accommodating portion (22). The power device (34) is used to lift the lifting plate (32). The power device (34) can be a cylinder or other mechanism. When the lifting plate (32) is folded, it is flush with the parking plate (2). After the drone flies away, the lifting plate (32) descends until it is flush with the parking plate (2), so that the parking plate (2) has no protrusions and does not affect the landing of the drone.

[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, there is an opening on the fixing plate of the landing gear (5) for taking photos with a camera, surveying, etc. The upper suction member (31) is located on the upper side of the landing gear (5). The upper suction member (31) is perpendicular to the electromagnet plate (33) and is used to adapt to the landing deviation of the drone. The drone flies back from the back of the car, and the drone flies back to the designated position. This is a prior art and will not be repeated. The factor is moving, and the drone will have a deviation in the front and rear directions after landing.

[0034] The adsorption device (3) further includes an energizing part (35), and a connecting part (36) connected to the energizing part (35) is provided on the electromagnet plate (33). The connecting part (36) is connected to the two electromagnet plates (33) at the same time, and the electromagnet plates (33) are automatically energized after the connecting part (36) rises. Specifically, the lifting plate (32) drives the electromagnet plates (33) and the connecting part (36) to rise, and when the electromagnet plates (33) are in contact with the upper suction piece (31), the connecting part (36) is in contact with the energizing part (35), and the electromagnet plates (33) are energized, thereby sucking the landing gear (5), and thus sucking the drone.

A pressure plate (42) for fixing the landing gear (5) is fixed on the rotating shaft (41). When the rotating shaft (41) rotates, the pressure plate (42) is driven to rotate out of the lifting plate (32). A synchronization component (43) is arranged between the rotating shafts (41). Both landing gears (5) need to be fixed. Therefore, multiple rotating shafts (41) are connected through the synchronization component (43). A power device 2 (44) is connected to the rotating shaft (41). The power device 1 (34) can be a motor or other mechanism. The power device 2 (44) can lock the rotating shaft (41). The power device 2 (44) is connected to one of the rotating shafts (41). The rotating shafts (41) rotate all the rotating shafts (41) through the synchronization component (43). Before the power supply part (35) and the connection part (36) are separated, the pressure plate (42) and the adjustment plate are not in contact with the landing gear (5).

[0036] The pressing plate (42) is provided with a guide surface to prevent the end of the pressing plate (42) from contacting the side of the bottom plate (51), and the guide surface enables the nose pressing plate (42) to smoothly rotate to the top of the bottom plate (51).

[0038] Four pressure plates (42) are provided, and each lifting plate (32) has two pressure plates (42). The rotating shaft (41) enables the four pressure plates (42) to contact the side of the diagonal support of the landing gear (5) through the synchronization component (43). If the UAV deviates in the front-back direction, the ends of the two pressure plates (42) of the same lifting plate (32) rotate from the middle to both sides. During this process, the deviated position can be restored by the pressure plates (42). If the UAV deviates in the direction perpendicular to the side of the bottom plate (51) after landing, during the process of the pressure plate (42) rotating with the abutment plate (45), the abutment plate (45) causes the landing gear (5) of the UAV to move, so that the deviation of the UAV is restored.

[0039] The synchronous assembly (43) comprises two pulley groups (431) and a steering rod group (432), wherein the pulley group (431) is connected to two diagonally opposite rotating shafts (41), and the steering rod group (432) is used to connect the rotating shafts (41) on the two lifting plates (32). Figure 3 As shown, two groups of pulley groups (431) are staggered up and down, the pulley group (431) includes a belt and two fixed pulleys, and the steering rod group (432) includes a steering rod and two groups of bevel gear pairs. The steering rod group (432) causes the two rotating shafts (41) connected thereto to rotate in opposite directions, and the pulley group (431) is coordinated to cause the two pressing plates (42) on each lifting plate (32) to rotate in opposite directions.

[0040] A power-off component (6) for separating the power-on component (35) and the connecting component (36) is provided between the power device 2 (44) and the power-on component (35), and the power-off component (6) includes a gear (61) and a rack (62). The power device 2 (44) is perpendicular to the rotating shaft (41) to reduce the space occupied by the power device 2 (44) in the longitudinal direction. The output end of the power device 2 (44) is connected to a connecting rod (46), and the connecting rod (46) and the gear (61) are connected to each other. The end of the connecting rod (46) is connected to a bevel gear assembly (47), wherein the connecting rod (46) is longer than a rotating shaft 41, a sleeve rod (48) is sleeved on the rotating shaft 41, and the bevel gear assembly (47) is used to connect the connecting rod 46 and the sleeve rod (48). A limit bar is provided on the rotating shaft 41, and the limit bar enables the rotating shaft 41 and the sleeve rod 48 to rotate synchronously. The gear (61) is meshed with a rack (62), and one end of the rack (62) is fixed to a movable power supply part (35). Specifically, a power supply device (7) is provided below the power supply part (35), and the power supply part (35) can move upward on the power supply device (7). The gear (61) rotates through the rack (62) to move the power supply part (35), and the power supply part (35) is separated from the connecting part (36) after moving, thereby cutting off the power to the electromagnet plate (33).

[0041] A door panel (8) is arranged on the drone platform, and the door panel (8) is connected to the drone platform through a torsion spring. The stop panel (2) is extended to push the door panel (8) to rotate until the stop panel (2) is fully extended. When the stop panel (2) is retracted, the door panel (8) automatically recovers under the action of the torsion spring, and the space above the stop panel (2) is closed.

[0042] In summary, after the human-machine falls on the parking plate (2), the power device 1 (34) is started, so that the lifting plate (32) rises and drives the electromagnet plate (33) to rise, and the connecting part (36) follows the rise at the same time, until the connecting part (36) contacts the power-carrying part (35), the lifting plate 32 stops rising, the electromagnet plate (33) is energized to attract the upper suction piece (31), thereby fixing the landing gear (5), and then making the human-machine stable, and then the power device 2 (44) is started, the connecting rod (46) rotates, driving the gear (61) to rotate, the gear (61) causes the rack (62) to move, and the power-carrying part (35) moves away from following the rack (62) to move. , thereby separating from the connecting part (36). Before the power supply part (35) separates from the connecting part (36), the pressure plate (42) and the adjustment plate are not in contact with the landing gear (5). When the connecting rod (46) rotates, the sleeve rod (48) is rotated through the bevel gear assembly (47).
