Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular relates to a launching rack which is convenient for loading a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, drone technology has rapidly developed and popularized. Both military and civilian drones have made great progress and are widely used in all walks of life. Small drones are widely used in military reconnaissance, aerial photography, remote control toys, etc. However, at present, the take-off methods of small and medium-sized drones on the market mainly include ground taxiing, hand throwing, vertical take-off and landing, rocket boost, etc. These take-off methods have high requirements for the site, slow take-off speed, inconvenient drone transportation, cumbersome operation, high requirements for users, and prone to accidents.

[0003] The above-mentioned drone launching method can only launch a single drone, and its linkage effect is poor; the existing swarm drones can launch a large number of drones per unit time and are widely used in many fields. Therefore, the development of swarm drones is progressing rapidly. However, although the swarm drones have a short launch time, they can quickly form a formation after launch, and the transfer and transportation process is very convenient, which can be completed by vehicle. Moreover, since the drone is inside the launcher, it can also form a good protection effect for the drone. However, the loading of swarm drones is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In order to ensure that the drones launched by the launcher can form a formation effect, each launcher is usually provided with a large number of drone launching holes, which results in each drone launcher needing to load a large number of drones when loading drones, and there is a lack of loading equipment used with the launcher, which leads to low drone loading efficiency and time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of UAV loading and reduce the workload, a UAV loading launcher used in conjunction with a launcher is needed, which is specifically used for loading UAVs on the UAV launcher. Summary of the invention
