[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a drone hangar with an automatic charging structure, including a base 1, which provides the mounting foundation for various components. A housing 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, providing storage and securing space for the drone. A fixing mechanism 5 is provided inside the housing 4, including a slide rail 511 that guides the vertical sliding of a lifting plate 512. The bottom of the slide rail 511 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1. The lifting plate 512 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 511. The lifting plate 512 moves vertically to drive a clamping plate 5116 to secure the drone. An outer support 513 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 1, providing support for the rotation of an outer connecting block 515. A connecting rod A514 is hinged to the outer wall of the lifting plate 512. The connecting rod A514 drives the lifting plate 512 to move up and down via the rotation of the outer connecting block 515. An outer connecting block 515 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod A514. The outer connecting block 515 transmits power to the connecting rod A514 via rotation. The outer connecting block 515 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer support 513 via a rotating shaft 5118. A foot pedal 516 is fixedly connected to the extended end of the outer connecting block 515. The foot pedal 516 is used by the worker to lift the foot pedal to rotate the outer connecting block 515. A connecting rod B5115 is hinged to the outer wall of the lifting plate 512. The connecting rod B5115 moves with the lifting plate 512, causing the clamping plate 5116 to move. The clamping plate 5116 is hinged to the extended end of the connecting rod B5115. The guide slide rod 5117 slides to clamp the drone. The guide slide rod 5117 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 4. The guide slide rod 5117 provides guidance for the sliding of the clamping plate 5116. The outer wall of the clamping plate 5116 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide slide rod 5117. An adjustment mechanism 6 is provided on the top of the lifting plate 512. The adjustment mechanism 6 is used to adjust the position of the charging plate 614 according to different drone heights. The bottom of the foot pedal 516 is slidably connected to a limit rod 517. The limit rod 517 limits the sliding range of the foot pedal 516. A spring 518 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the foot pedal 516. The spring 518 provides a restoring force after the foot pedal 516 is lifted. The extension end of the spring 518 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 4. The rotating shaft 5118 is an external connecting block 5. The rotation of the 15 provides a shaft, and a ratchet 519 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft 5118. The ratchet 519 cooperates with the pawl 5113 to lock and limit the outer connecting block 515. A mounting plate 5111 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer bracket 513. The mounting plate 5111 provides a fixed base for the tension spring 5112. The extension end of the mounting plate 5111 is fixedly connected to the tension spring 5112. The tension spring 5112 pulls the pawl 5113 to abut against the ratchet 519. The outer wall of the outer bracket 513 is rotatably connected to the pawl 5113. The pawl 5113 restricts the rotation of the outer connecting block 515 by meshing with the ratchet 519. The extension end of the tension spring 5112 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pawl 5113, and the extension end of the pawl 5113 abuts against the teeth of the outer wall of the ratchet 519.A foot catch 5114 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pawl 5113. When the foot catch 5114 is stepped on, it causes the pawl 5113 to disengage from the ratchet 519.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 The adjustment mechanism 6 includes a sliding column 611, which adjusts the height of the charging plate 614 by sliding up and down to accommodate different drones. The outer wall of the sliding column 611 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting plate 512. A fixing plate 612 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 512, providing a base for the magnetic insertion rod 613. The magnetic insertion rod 613 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixing plate 612, passing through the fixing plate 612 and the sliding column 611 to achieve fixed positioning of the sliding column 611. The charging plate 614 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding column 611. The charging plate 614 contacts the drone to charge it. The outer wall of the magnetic insertion rod 613 moves through the inner wall of the fixing plate 612 and the sliding column 611. The inner wall of the sliding column 611 has a hole for the magnetic insertion rod 613 to be inserted to fix its position. The outer wall of the box 4 has a groove, which provides a track for the sliding of the slider 2. The inner wall of the groove is slidably connected to the slider 2. The slider 2 drives the box cover 3 to slide along the groove to open and close the box 4. The outer wall of the slider 2 is fixedly connected to the box cover 3. When the box cover 3 is closed, it protects the drone inside the box 4.
[0026] Working principle: A housing 4 is mounted on the base 1. A lifting plate 512 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the internal slide rail 511 of the housing 4. Connecting rods B5115 are hinged to both ends of the outer wall of the lifting plate 512. A clamping plate 5116 is hinged to the top of the connecting rods B5115. When the drone falls into the housing 4, the operator steps down on the step rope 5114 with their right foot. When the step rope 5114 is stepped down, it causes the pawl 5113 to disengage from the ratchet 519, thus engaging the locking limit of the external connecting block 515. The operator then... The operator lifts their left foot and hooks the foot pedal 516 upwards, thereby driving the connecting rod A514 inside the outer connecting block 515 downwards. This causes the lifting plate 512, which is hinged at the top of the connecting rod A514, to move downwards. When the lifting plate 512 moves downwards, the clamping plate 5116 at the top of the lifting plate 512 moves along the guide slide rod 5117, thereby fixing the outer wall of the drone. This facilitates the transportation of the box 4 and ensures the stability of the drone. At the same time, the drone can be calibrated while being fixed to ensure the contact position between the drone and the charging plate 614.
[0027] A sliding column 611 is slidably connected to the top of the lifting plate 512. A charging plate 614 is installed on the top of the sliding column 611. The vertical position of the sliding column 611 can be adjusted by sliding to accommodate drones of different heights and to adapt to the fixed position of different drones. After the height is adjusted, a magnetic rod 613 passes through the fixing plate 612 and the sliding column 611 to quickly fix and limit the sliding column 611.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
