Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle hangar equipment, and in particular relates to a carrier device for unmanned aerial vehicle three-dimensional storage and retrieval equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern science and technology and economic construction, drones are increasingly used in exploration imaging, film and television media, energy inspection, remote sensing mapping, agricultural services, emergency rescue, infrastructure engineering, military reconnaissance, geology, meteorology, electricity and other industries and fields, and the demand is increasing. In order to solve the parking, transportation and call problems of unmanned helicopters, a dedicated drone hangar is designed in the prior art. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN111622570A provides a drone hangar equipment, including: a drone storage structure, which includes a drone hangar and a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is used to store and take out the drone from the drone hangar. However, since the parking position of the drone is fixed in the hangar, there is a lack of a locking and fixing structure dedicated to the drone on the parking position. The hangar can only be fixed on the ground for use, and the hangar transfer and transportation cannot be realized, and special situations such as tilt and variable acceleration cannot be coped with. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a carrier device, which realizes the loading and locking functions of the UAV by setting an elastic card slot. The carrier device can stably fix the UAV during the lifting, lateral movement and other actions in the hangar of the UAV three-dimensional storage and retrieval equipment, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the UAV.

[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A carrier device is used for a three-dimensional storage and retrieval device for unmanned aerial vehicles, comprising a carrier frame and a locking device. A plurality of locking devices are fixed on the carrier frame. The locking device is provided with an elastic card slot for fixing the landing gear of the unmanned aerial vehicle, thereby realizing the functions of loading and locking the unmanned aerial vehicle. During the lifting, lateral movement and other actions of the carrier device in the hangar of the three-dimensional storage and retrieval device for unmanned aerial vehicles, the carrier device can stably fix the unmanned aerial vehicle, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0006] The locking device includes a locking seat, a locking tension spring, a locking frame, and a slide rail. A groove for accommodating the landing gear is opened at the upper end of the locking seat, the slide rail is fixed on the locking seat, the locking frame is slidably installed on the slide rail, and an outwardly extending block is arranged on the locking frame. The locking frame and the locking seat are connected by a locking tension spring. The elastic force of the locking tension spring causes the block to block the opening of the groove to form an elastic slot, so that the landing gear is clamped in the space surrounded by the locking frame, its block and the groove, thereby realizing the locking and fixing function of the drone.

[0007] The locking seat is provided with two grooves at intervals, and the locking frame comprises a front locking frame and a rear locking frame respectively slidably mounted on the slide rails, the front locking frame and the rear locking frame respectively correspond to the positions of the two grooves, the front locking frame and the rear locking frame are fixedly connected by a connecting rod, a first fixing pin is fixed to the middle of the connecting rod, a second fixing pin is fixed to the locking seat, and two ends of the locking tension spring are respectively fixedly connected to the first fixing pin and the second fixing pin, and the landing gear is elastically locked from both sides at the same time.

[0008] The locking frame is provided with a top plate for unlocking the elastic card slot. When taking and placing the drone, the top plate is supported by the fork in the drone three-dimensional storage and retrieval device to overcome the elastic force of the locking tension spring, so that the block is separated from the groove opening, and the elastic card slot is unlocked. After the fork is withdrawn, the elastic card slot is re-locked under the elastic force of the locking tension spring, laying a foundation for realizing fully automated control of the drone three-dimensional storage and retrieval device.

[0009] Mounting beams are provided at both ends of the carrier frame for connecting the lifting and lateral movement devices in the UAV three-dimensional storage and retrieval equipment hangar to form a mobile parking position, so that the hangar can construct a new pick-and-place mode in which the fork does not move and the parking position moves, saving the public space occupied by the fork and improving the space utilization rate of the hangar.

[0010] Limiting holes are provided at both ends of the aircraft carrier frame. When the designated parking position is reached, the locking pins in the hangar are inserted into the limiting holes to realize locking and positioning of the aircraft carrier device.

[0011] A plurality of limiters are arranged at both ends of the carrier frame to ensure stability during the lateral movement.

[0012] The limiter includes a limit pin and a bearing. The bearing is installed on one end of the limit pin through an elastic retaining ring of the shaft, and the other end of the limit pin is fixed on the carrier frame. The bearing is used for limiting and rolling friction to ensure smooth lateral movement.

[0013] The machine carrier frame comprises two parallel main beams, the two main beams are fixedly connected by a plurality of cross beams, two ends of the main beams are fixed with upright posts, and the mounting beams are fixed on the upright posts.

[0014] Reinforcing ribs are arranged between the main beam and the columns.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the loading and locking functions of the drone are realized by setting an elastic card slot. The carrier device can stably fix the drone during the lifting, lateral movement and other actions in the hangar of the drone three-dimensional storage and retrieval equipment, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the drone. By setting a top plate for unlocking the elastic card slot, when taking and placing the drone, the fork in the drone three-dimensional storage and retrieval equipment is used to support the top plate, overcome the elastic force of the locking tension spring, separate the block from the groove opening, and realize the unlocking of the elastic card slot. After the fork is withdrawn, the elastic card slot is re-locked under the elastic force of the locking tension spring, laying the foundation for realizing the full automation control of the drone three-dimensional storage and retrieval equipment. By setting an installation beam, it is used to connect the lifting and lateral movement device in the hangar of the drone three-dimensional storage and retrieval equipment to form a mobile parking position, so that the hangar can construct a new pick-up and placement mode in which the fork is stationary and the parking position is mobile, saving the public space occupied by the fork and improving the space utilization rate of the hangar. By setting a limit hole, when reaching the designated parking position, the locking pin in the hangar is inserted into the limit hole to realize the locking and positioning of the carrier device. By setting the limiter, stability is ensured during the lateral movement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
