Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to a method for moving a UAV nest cover and a UAV nest. Background Art
[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control and self-contained programmable controls, or operated fully or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer. Drones are a general term for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Technically, they can be categorized as: unmanned fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, unmanned airships, unmanned helicopters, unmanned multirotors, and unmanned paragliders. Compared to manned aircraft, drones offer advantages such as small size, low cost, ease of use, low operational requirements, and enhanced battlefield survivability. Drones can be categorized by application into military and civilian applications. In the military, drones are divided into reconnaissance and target drones. In the civilian sector, the integration of drones into industrial applications is a real necessity. Applications in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspections, disaster relief, film and television production, and creating romantic moments have greatly expanded the uses of drones. Developed countries are also actively expanding industrial applications and developing drone technology.
[0003] To better adapt drones to outdoor operations and improve their endurance, the development and application of drone nests is crucial. These nests can protect drones from inclement weather by storing them inside, extending their lifespan. They also allow for charging the drone outdoors, extending its endurance during extended outdoor operations. In the prior art, the cover of the drone nest mostly adopts a throwing cover structure, that is, the opening and closing of the cover is controlled by a swing arm. On the one hand, this method is prone to the situation that the cover fails to fit tightly when closed, that is, there is still a gap between the cover plates after the cover plates are closed. Then, when encountering bad weather such as rain and snow outdoors, rain and snow will enter the nest through the gaps in the cover plates, losing the protection effect on the drone; on the other hand, the throwing cover method is used to complete the opening and closing of the cover plate. When accommodating drones of the same size, due to the size of the drone and the movement trajectory of the cover plate, a larger drone nest and a corresponding larger cover plate are often required to ensure that the cover plate does not touch the drone body during the opening and closing process, completing the release and recovery of the drone, which reduces the portability of the drone nest to a certain extent and has higher requirements for the accommodation space. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art and provide a method for moving the cover of a drone nest, so as to provide better and more stable protection for the drone and to improve the portability of the drone nest to a certain extent.
