[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, drone technology has been rapidly developed and applied. When users drive their cars in areas with obstructed vision, in order to facilitate users to flexibly choose routes and avoid obstacles in time, they can choose to install a car-mounted drone on the top of the car, so as to use the drone to explore the surrounding environment and improve the user's vision.

[0003] Since tethered drones have the ability to hover in the air for a long time, they are widely used in the field of vehicle-mounted drones. However, tethered drones need to transmit power through tethered cables when working. When tethered drones are selected as vehicle-mounted drones, the storage device installed on the top of the vehicle body not only needs to have sufficient space to accommodate drones, but also needs to accommodate the tethered cable retracting device and power supply. This will not only increase the overall volume of the storage device, resulting in a larger wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle, but also prevent rainwater from entering the tethered cable retracting device and the power supply area, which puts higher requirements on the sealing of the storage device.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0030] A vehicle-mounted drone storage device, the structure of which can be Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted drone storage device includes: a load-bearing plate 1, a first protective shell 3 and a second protective shell, wherein a mounting platform 21, an isolation seat 22 and a load-bearing platform 23 are provided on the top surface of the load-bearing plate 1, and the mounting platform 21 and the load-bearing platform 23 are respectively located on both sides of the isolation seat 22. The first protective shell 3 is provided outside the mounting platform 21, and a device cavity is formed between the first protective shell 3, the mounting platform 21 and the isolation seat 22, and the second protective shell is provided outside the load-bearing platform 23, and a receiving cavity is formed between the second protective shell, the load-bearing platform 23 and the isolation seat 22.

[0031] When using the tethered drone, the user can first install the tethered cable retracting device 61 and the power supply 62 of the tethered drone into the device cavity, and then place the tethered drone into the receiving cavity. To facilitate the connection of the tethered cable with the drone body, a cable hole 221 should be provided on the isolation seat 22 in this embodiment, so that the user can insert the tethered cable retracted on the tethered cable retracting device 61 into the receiving cavity along the cable hole 221 and connect it to the cable connector on the drone body.

[0032] After completing the setting of the mooring cable retracting device 61, the power supply 62 and the drone body, the user can respectively cover the first protective shell 3 and the second protective shell on the outside of the mounting platform 21 and the supporting platform 23, and then detachably install the supporting plate 1 on the top of the vehicle body, thereby completing the assembly between the device and the vehicle body.

[0033] Since the vehicle-mounted storage device of the tethered drone has a large volume, in order to reduce the wind resistance of the large-volume storage device, in this embodiment, a first guide arc surface 31 with the arc center facing the mounting platform 21 is provided on the outer wall of the first protective shell 3, and a second guide arc surface 42 with the arc center facing the bearing platform 23 is provided on the outer wall of the second protective shell, and the curvature of the first guide arc surface 31 is greater than the curvature of the second guide arc surface 42. When assembling the device with the vehicle body, the user can turn the first protective shell 3 toward the direction of the front of the vehicle, and the second protective shell toward the direction of the rear of the vehicle. Since the curvature of the first guide arc surface 31 is greater than the curvature of the second guide arc surface 42, during the driving of the vehicle, the cooperation of the first guide arc surface 31 and the second guide arc surface 42 can make the device have a good streamline shape, thereby reducing the wind resistance of the device and avoiding the driving state of the vehicle being affected by the installation of the drone vehicle-mounted storage device.

[0034] To facilitate takeoff and landing of the drone body in the receiving cavity, the second protective shell in this embodiment is composed of two slidable shells 41. When in use, the user can control the two shells 41 to slide according to usage requirements to switch the receiving cavity between an open state and a closed state. Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the device when the receiving cavity is in a closed state. At this time, the two shells 41 are tightly fitted together, thereby protecting the drone body inside the receiving cavity. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the device when the receiving airborne landing is in the open state. At this time, the two shells 41 slide away from each other to form a take-off and landing channel between the two shells 41, so that the drone can enter and exit the receiving cavity along the take-off and landing channel to complete the take-off or landing action.

[0035] Optionally, in order to drive the housing 41 to slide, a mounting groove 222 may be provided on the side wall of the isolation seat 22, and an electric telescopic rod 5 should be provided inside the mounting groove 222, and the end of the electric telescopic rod 5 is connected to the housing 41. When the two housings 41 need to be moved away from each other to open the receiving cavity, the user can drive the electric telescopic rod 5 to extend so that the take-off and landing channel formed between the two housings 41 has sufficient width to facilitate the passage of the drone body. When the two housings 41 need to be moved closer to each other to close the receiving cavity, the user can drive the electric telescopic rod 5 to shorten so that the two housings 41 fit tightly.

[0036] In addition, in order to prevent the shell 41 from shifting during the sliding process, a guide strip 223 may be provided on the top surface of the isolation seat 22, and a guide groove 411 for accommodating the guide strip 223 may be provided on the inner wall of the shell 41, so that the sliding of the shell 41 can be guided and constrained by the cooperation of the guide strip 223 and the guide groove 411.

[0037] In actual use, since the receiving cavity needs to be opened or closed according to the use requirements, when the drone takes off and lands on rainy days, rainwater may enter the open receiving cavity, resulting in water accumulation in the receiving cavity. In order to prevent the accumulated water in the receiving cavity from entering the equipment cavity along the cable hole 221, a guide slope 231 may be provided on the top of the supporting platform 23 in this embodiment. Specifically, the end of the guide slope 231 close to the isolation seat 22 should be higher than the end away from the isolation seat 22, and the end of the guide slope 231 close to the isolation seat 22 should be lower than the cable hole 221. By providing the guide slope 231, the accumulated water in the receiving cavity can be guided to flow to the end away from the isolation seat 22, thereby preventing the accumulated water from entering the equipment cavity.

[0038] Optionally, in order to improve the placement stability of the drone on the diversion slope 231, a receiving groove 232 for receiving the drone is provided on the diversion slope 231. When the drone is stored in the receiving cavity, the bottom legs of the drone can be inserted into the receiving groove 232, so that the drone is limited by the inner side wall of the receiving groove 232 to prevent the drone from shaking during the movement of the vehicle.

[0039] In addition, in order to timely discharge the accumulated water inside the receiving cavity, the present embodiment is provided with a drainage hole 233 on the bottom surface of the receiving groove 232. It should be noted that the drainage hole 233 should be arranged at one end of the bottom surface of the receiving groove 232 away from the isolation seat 22, so as to improve the drainage effect of the drainage hole 233.

[0040] Since the second protective shell in the present device is formed by splicing two slidable shells 41, when the receiving cavity is in a closed state, rainwater from the outside may also enter the receiving cavity along the splicing gap between the two shells 41 or the splicing gap between the shell 41 and the bearing platform 23. To solve this problem, the present device may be provided with a first sealing groove on the side wall of the shell 41 close to the take-off and landing channel, and a first sealing strip 412 is provided inside the sealing groove, so that the splicing gap between the two shells 41 is blocked with the help of the first sealing strip 412. Correspondingly, a second sealing groove may also be provided on the side wall of the bearing platform 23, and a second sealing strip 234 is provided inside the second sealing groove, so that the splicing gap between the shell 41 and the bearing platform 23 is blocked with the help of the second sealing strip 234.

[0041] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, since most vehicles are provided with a luggage rack on the top of the vehicle body, in order to achieve a detachable connection between the load-bearing plate 1 and the vehicle body, a plurality of connecting rods 11 may be provided on the side wall of the load-bearing plate 1, and a fixing card 12 is provided at the end of each connecting rod 11. During assembly, the user may clamp the fixing card 12 on the luggage rack on the top of the vehicle body, thereby completing the installation of the device without damaging the vehicle body structure.

[0042] The effects of the above scheme are described below:

[0043] This embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted drone storage device, which can achieve relative isolation between the equipment cavity and the receiving cavity through an isolation seat, thereby protecting the mooring cable retracting device and the power supply in the equipment cavity. Secondly, this device can reduce wind resistance through the cooperation of the first guide arc surface and the second guide arc surface to avoid affecting the driving state of the vehicle. In addition, this device is also provided with a guide slope on the top of the supporting platform, and a receiving groove and a drainage hole are provided on the guide slope, so as to prevent the accumulated water in the receiving cavity from entering the equipment cavity and drain the accumulated water in time.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
