[0051] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 17 , and describe the technical solution of the present invention in more detail.
[0052] The following embodiments all take a multi-rotor drone as an example, hereinafter referred to as drone 100.
[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the drone 100 includes a drone landing boom 1001 having a "cross" shape.
[0054] The embodiment of the present invention defines the top direction of the drone 100 in a hovering or landing state as upward, and the bottom direction of the drone landing rod as downward.

The rotating power source 41 rotates, driving the rotating power pulley 422 to rotate around the fixed end of the rotating coupling 421.
[0100] The structure of the rotating force pulley 422 connected to the pulley unit 223 is the same. The pulley of the rotating force pulley 422 is limited in the hollow structure of the rotating coupling 421, and the central axis of the rotating force pulley 422 is installed on the side wall of the hollow structure of the rotating coupling 421.
[0101] like Fig.13 As shown, the middle part of the steel wire 5 is wound around the rotating power pulley 422, and the steel wire 5 is symmetrically arranged on both sides, respectively passing around the second pulley mounting port 2218 on the guide frame connected to the outer seat 221 and the pulley 2231 installed at the first pulley mounting port 2214, and the end of the steel wire 5 passes through the inner seat wire passing hole 22215 on the guide frame connected to the inner seat body 2221, and is fastened to the guide frame connected to the inner seat body 2221 by two steel wire fixing screws 224.
[0102] like Fig.13As shown, the stepper motor of the rotary power source 41 is started, the output shaft rotates clockwise, driving the rotary coupling 421 to rotate clockwise, the steel wire 5 is pulled down, and the end of the steel wire 5 drives the guide frame connecting the inner seat body 2221 to rotate around the thrust torsion spring hanging shaft 2222 into the outer seat installation cavity 2213 of the guide frame connecting the outer seat 221, thereby opening the V-shaped groove bottom of the guide frame connecting the outer seat 221, so that the "cross"-shaped drone landing rod 1001 that lands on the V-shaped groove bottom of the guide frame connecting the outer seat 221 falls into the arc groove bottom of the guide frame connecting the outer seat 221. At this time, the torsion spring 2223 is in a compressed state.
[0103] After the "cross" shaped UAV landing rod 1001 falls into the bottom of the arc-shaped groove of the guide frame connected to the outer seat 221, the stepper motor of the rotating power source 41 stops and enters an idling state. Under the reaction force of the torsion spring 2223, the guide frame connected inner seat body 2221 rotates around the thrust torsion spring hanging shaft 2222 toward the outside of the outer seat mounting cavity 2213 of the guide frame connected to the outer seat 221, thereby stably locking the "cross" shaped UAV landing rod 1001 at the bottom of the V-shaped groove of the guide frame connected to the outer seat 221.
[0104] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the center position sensor 61 is set at the center position of the landing platform 11. The center position sensor 61 can be a position sensor that transmits signals, or a receiver that is wirelessly connected to the flight control terminal 200, which is used to match the sensor set at the bottom center position of the drone landing rod 1001 to sense and transmit the centering information of the flying drone 100, so as to control the drone 100 to find the center of the drone landing guide in the horizontal plane, and then start landing after centering, so as to complete the first step of precise landing.
[0105] like Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the first proximity switch 62 is disposed on the guide frame connecting inner seat body 22211, and is disposed only on one of the pair of guide frame connecting inner seat bodies 22211 forming the V-shaped groove. The sensor assembly of the second embodiment includes four first proximity switches 62.
[0106] Specifically, the first proximity switch 62 is arranged on the bottom surface of the inner seat installation cavity 22212 , parallel to the axis of the inner seat wire passing hole 22215 , and located beside the inner seat wire passing hole 22215 .
[0107] like Figure 4As shown, when the multi-rotor UAV 100 starts to land after being centered, the "cross" shaped UAV landing rod 1001 slides along the straight inclined surface of the guide frame 23 into the V-shaped groove formed by the two guide frames connecting the inner seat body 2221, and touches the first proximity switch 62. After the flight control terminal 200 receives the signals of the four first proximity switches 62, it starts the rotation power source 41, and the steel wire 5 descends, thereby driving the two guide frames connecting the inner seat body 22211 to rotate into the outer seat mounting cavity 2213, so that the "cross" shaped UAV landing rod 1001 falls to the bottom of the V-shaped groove of the guide frame connecting the outer seat 221, and at this time the torsion spring 2223 is in a compressed state.
[0108] When the drone landing rod 1001 lands to the bottom of the V-shaped groove of the guide frame connected to the outer seat 221 , the drone landing rod 1001 touches the second proximity switch 63 .
[0109] On the one hand, the second proximity switch 63 transmits a signal to the flight control terminal 200, and the flight control terminal 200 controls the rotary power source 41 to stop power output. Under the action of the reaction force of the torsion spring 2223, the guide frame connected to the inner seat body 22211 is pushed to rotate out of the outer seat mounting cavity 2213 to restore the V-groove structure. The steel wire 5 drives the rotary coupling 421 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the rotary power source 41 idles back to its original position. At this time, the lower surface of the V-groove structure of the two relative guide frames connected to the inner seat body 22211 can just limit the "cross"-shaped drone landing rod 1001, so that the multi-rotor drone is firmly on the drone landing guide.
[0110] On the other hand, the second proximity switch 63 transmits a signal to the flight control terminal 200, and the flight control terminal 200 controls the arms of the multi-rotor drone to rotate horizontally to the side of the fuselage and controls the propellers of the multi-rotor drone to fold in the vertical direction.
[0111] After the multi-rotor drone is folded, information is sent to the flight control terminal 200, and the flight control terminal 200 controls the power source of the lifting component 72 to start, and the lifting component 72 starts to descend.
[0112] like Figure 1 As shown, the third proximity switch 64 is arranged on the bottom plane of the lifting assembly 72 or the storage box assembly 71. When the upper plane of the lifting assembly 72 drops to a predetermined height and the multi-rotor drone completely enters the storage box assembly 71, the third proximity switch 64 is triggered and sends information to the flight control terminal 200. The flight control terminal 200 controls the storage box assembly 71 to automatically close the upper cover.
[0113] The drone landing guidance and storage system of the present invention has a high degree of automation, saves manpower and material resources, and has wide applicability.
[0114] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. At the same time, any equipment equipped with the present device to expand the application field and produce a complex technical effect belongs to the scope of protection of the present invention.
