[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are:

[0016] Compared with the traditional rigid fixing form,

[0017] In the present invention, the UAV transportation component is in a suspended state through the shock absorption device, and the overall gravity of the UAV and the transportation component is loaded on the shock absorption device.

[0024] The transportation cabin is waterproof, moisture-proof and heat-insulated, with good sealing. At the same time, the inner wall of the cabin body (i.e., the transportation cabin body) is equipped with heat-insulating boards, and fire-proof boards are pasted outside the heat-insulating boards to ensure that long-distance transportation is not affected by climate factors and has good fire-proof function at the same time;

[0025] A wing fixing device is designed and manufactured inside the transportation cabin to ensure the safety and stability of the wings during transportation; a wedge-shaped ramp is designed to facilitate the entry and exit of the bracket transport vehicle into and out of the transportation cabin. Tracks for the bracket transport vehicle to travel are designed and installed on the wedge-shaped ramp and the bottom plate of the transportation cabin body, ensuring the accuracy of the travel route of the bracket transport vehicle entering and exiting the transportation cabin, thereby further ensuring the convenience, safety of the UAV entering and exiting the transportation cabin and the accuracy of the parking position inside the cabin. When not in use usually, the wedge-shaped ramp can be placed inside the side door, which can effectively save storage space;

[0026] Several metal hanging rings are installed on the bottom plate inside the transportation cabin body to facilitate the binding of objects by the tightener, so that all items inside the transportation cabin can be fixed; multiple tightener hanging rings are provided inside the transportation cabin and on the bracket transport vehicle. The function of the tightener hanging ring is to ensure that all equipment can be tied firmly by the tightener during transportation. At the same time, the hanging ring can be folded, and after folding, the hanging ring will not protrude from the cabin floor and does not interfere with the storage of other items;

[0027] A wire rope hanging point is designed and manufactured at the top of the transportation cabin to facilitate the lifting of the bracket transport vehicle;

[0028] A ladder is installed on the outer vertical surface at the rear of the transportation cabin, which can facilitate the operator to install and disassemble the lifting wire rope;

[0029] An anchor bolt installation point is designed and manufactured at the bottom of the transportation cabin. When the transportation cabin is hoisted onto the transportation platform, the transportation cabin can be firmly connected to the ground of the transportation platform through the anchor bolts, thereby ensuring the reliability and safety of the long-distance transportation of the transportation cabin.

[0030] As Figure 3 shown, the bracket transport vehicle includes a bracket body. The bottom of the bracket body is rollers matched with the track. Installation surfaces matched with the UAV profile are arranged at intervals above the bracket body. A screw lifting mechanism for adjusting the height of the entire bracket body is arranged on the bracket, which can not only realize the convenient and fast entry and exit of the UAV into and out of the transportation cabin and short-distance rapid transfer, but also realize the UAV floating integrally on the shock-absorbing device inside the cabin.

[0031] The shock-absorbing device asFigure 2 As shown in the figure, it includes a left support beam 5, a right support beam 6, a spring shock absorber 7, a front fastening beam 8, and a rear fastening beam 9; the left support beam and the right support beam are located on both sides of the track on the bottom plate of the transportation cabin body, and spring shock absorbers are installed at their lower parts, which are fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the transportation cabin body by the spring shock absorbers; the rear fastening beam is horizontally installed on the left support beam and the right support beam, and the moving-in-place bracket transport vehicle is fixed by the front fastening beam and the rear fastening beam.

[0032] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, the wing fixing device includes wing clamping plates, clamping connecting rods, and a handwheel; after the wing is in place, the fixing device makes the two clamping plates clamp the wing placed therein through the driving of the handwheel and the clamping connecting rods to limit its displacement; the design of the handwheel improves the efficiency of the clamping and relaxing processes. Specifically, the wing clamping plates on both sides are set according to the wing width and fixed on the bottom plate of the transportation cabin body, the clamping connecting rods are installed between the wing clamping plates on both sides, the handwheel is installed on the clamping connecting rods, and the wing placed between the wing clamping plates on both sides is clamped and locked by rotating the handwheel.

[0033] Use a crane or a hoist to lift and place the UAV onto the bracket transport vehicle. After checking that there is no problem, push the bracket transport vehicle along the inclined wedge ramp on the bottom plate of the transportation cabin body to the fixed position. Raise the UAV to a specified height through the jack (screw lifting mechanism) on the bracket transport vehicle. Connect the transportation cabin and the rear fastening beam through two through bolts, connect the front fixing beam and the left and right support beams through two through bolts, and connect the front fixing beam and the bracket transport vehicle through two through bolts.
