Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone capture technology, and in particular to a drone capture device with protective functions. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of drone control technology, the application of drones is becoming increasingly widespread. In some no-fly zones (such as near airports), unauthorized drone flights pose significant safety hazards. Furthermore, in the hands of some criminals, drones have become important tools for stealing privacy and engaging in illegal activities, infringing on social and personal privacy and even threatening public safety. Currently, drone capture typically involves using drones equipped with capture nets. However, due to the high maneuverability of drones, once a capture drone is spotted, it is difficult to capture and can only be used to drive it away. If jamming equipment is used in conjunction with the capture operation, it will interfere with surrounding signals.

[0003] The technical problem this patent aims to solve is how to design a drone capture device with protective functions that does not require the use of drones for capture. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of using drones equipped with capture nets for capture, such as difficulty in capturing the target and only having a deterrent effect, and the interference with surrounding signals if used in conjunction with jamming equipment, the technical problem of this invention is to provide a drone capture device with protective functions that does not require the use of drones for capture.

[0005] The technical implementation of the present invention is as follows: a drone capture device with protective function, including a placement tube, a capture device, a controller, and a camera. The controller is slidably connected inside the placement tube, the capture device is installed on the controller, the camera is installed on the capture device, and the device also includes a hiding mechanism and an insect-proof mechanism. The hiding mechanism for protection is provided inside the placement tube and is connected to the controller. The insect-proof mechanism for protection is provided on the upper part of the placement tube and is connected to the controller.

[0006] Furthermore, the concealment mechanism includes a multi-stage cylinder and a retaining ring. The retaining ring is connected to the lower part of the placement tube, and the multi-stage cylinder is installed on the retaining ring. The umbrella rod of the multi-stage cylinder is connected to the controller. The multi-stage cylinder drives the controller, the catcher, and the camera to extend and retract into the placement tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the insect-proof mechanism includes a baffle, a first torsion spring, and a first elastic rope. The upper part of the placement cylinder is rotatably connected to a baffle for closing the placement cylinder. A first torsion spring is connected between the baffle and the placement cylinder. A first elastic rope is connected between the baffle and the controller. The controller pulls the baffle to open it via the first elastic rope.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a shielding mechanism to improve the success rate of the capture device. The shielding mechanism includes a damping block, a rotating rod, and a placement plate. The upper left and right sides of the placement cylinder are connected to damping blocks, and rotating rods are rotatably connected to the damping blocks. The placement plates are connected to the rotating rods.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes an deployment mechanism to prevent cover objects from obstructing the capture device and camera. The deployment mechanism includes a push plate, a second elastic rope, and a second torsion spring. Push plates are rotatably connected to the upper left and right sides of the capture device. The push plates are connected to the capture device by a second torsion spring, and the push plates are connected to the upper part of the placement cylinder by a second elastic rope.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a support mechanism for preventing tipping, which includes an umbrella rod, a first insert rod, and a pressure spring. Storage slots are opened on both the front and rear sides of the placement plate, and the umbrella rod is rotatably connected in the storage slots. The first insert rod is slidably connected to the lower end of the umbrella rod, and a pressure spring is connected to the lower part of the umbrella rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the umbrella's central rod is made of damping material.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a fixing structure for improving stability, which includes a pressing plate and a second insert rod. The pressing plate is connected to the bottom of the placement cylinder, and the second insert rod is evenly spaced around the bottom of the pressing plate.

[0013] This invention has the following advantages: By monitoring the surrounding environment with a camera, when a drone appears, people control the catcher to aim at the drone using a controller, and then capture it. When not in use, the controller, catcher, and camera can be stored in the placement tube to prevent excessive contact with the outside environment and potential damage. A baffle closes the placement tube to prevent rainwater, insects, garbage, etc., from entering and corroding the catcher, controller, and camera. Hanging a cover object on the placement plate conceals the device, increasing the catcher's success rate. Rotating the placement plate inward reduces space occupation and facilitates relocation. Rotating the push plate outward removes any cover objects, preventing them from obstructing the catcher and camera. Inserting the first rod into the soil supports the placement plate, preventing it from tipping over due to its weight. Inserting the second rod into the soil fixes the device to the ground, improving its stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] A drone capture device with protective functions, referring to Figures 1-5It includes a catcher 1, a placement tube 11, a controller 2, a camera 3, a hiding mechanism 4, and an insect-proof mechanism 5. The controller 2 is slidably connected inside the placement tube 11. The catcher 1 is installed on the controller 2. The camera 3 is installed on the catcher 1. The hiding mechanism 4 is provided inside the placement tube 11. The hiding mechanism 4 is used for protection and is connected to the controller 2. The insect-proof mechanism 5 is provided on the upper part of the placement tube 11. The insect-proof mechanism 5 is used for protection and is connected to the controller 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 The concealed mechanism 4 includes a multi-stage cylinder 42 and a fixing ring 43. The fixing ring 43 is welded to the lower part of the placement cylinder 11. The multi-stage cylinder 42 is installed on the fixing ring 43. The umbrella rod 81 of the multi-stage cylinder 42 is connected to the controller 2.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 The insect-proof mechanism 5 includes a baffle 51, a first torsion spring 52 and a first elastic rope 53. The upper part of the placement cylinder 11 is rotatably connected to the baffle 51 for closing the placement cylinder 11. The first torsion spring 52 is connected between the baffle 51 and the placement cylinder 11. The first elastic rope 53 is connected between the baffle 51 and the controller 2.

[0031] In use, the multi-stage cylinder 42 is activated, controlling the telescopic rod of the multi-stage cylinder 42 to move the controller 2, the catcher 1, and the camera 3 upwards. The controller 2 pulls the baffle 51 via the first elastic rope 53, causing the baffle 51 to open. The first torsion spring 52 deforms, and the controller 2, the catcher 1, and the camera 3 extend upwards. Then, the multi-stage cylinder 42 is deactivated. The camera 3 monitors the surrounding environment. When the drone appears, people use the controller 2 to control the catcher 1 to aim at the drone and then capture it using the catcher 1. No additional equipment is required. When this device is activated, the multi-stage cylinder 42 is started, and the telescopic rod of the multi-stage cylinder 42 is controlled to move the controller 2, the catcher 1 and the camera 3 downward and retract them into the placement cylinder 11. This conceals the catcher 1, controller 2 and camera 3, preventing them from having too much contact with the outside world and thus being damaged. The controller 2 moves downward and releases the first elastic rope 53. Under the action of the first torsion spring 52, the baffle 51 is reset and the placement cylinder 11 is closed, preventing rainwater, insects, garbage and other things from entering the placement cylinder 11 and corroding the catcher 1, controller 2 and camera 3.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6It also includes a shielding mechanism 6, which includes a damping block 61, a rotating rod 62 and a placement plate 63. The upper left and right sides of the placement cylinder 11 are connected to damping blocks 61, and rotating rods 62 are rotatably connected to each damping block 61. Placement plates 63 are welded to each rotating rod 62.

[0034] Manually rotate the placement plate 63 outward to unfold it, and then hang the cover object on the placement plate 63 to hide the device and improve the success rate of the capture device 1. When the device is not in use, manually rotate the placement plate 63 inward to retract it, reduce the space occupied, and facilitate relocation.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 It also includes an unfolding mechanism 7, which includes a push plate 71, a second elastic rope 72, and a second torsion spring 73. The upper left and right sides of the catcher 1 are rotatably connected to the push plate 71. Each push plate 71 is connected to the catcher 1 by two second torsion springs 73. Each push plate 71 is connected to the upper part of the placement cylinder 11 by a second elastic rope 72.

[0036] When the capture device 1 moves upward, it drives the push plate 71 and the second torsion spring 73 to move upward, and the second elastic rope 72 is straightened. When the capture device 1 continues to drive the push plate 71 and the second torsion spring 73 to move upward and extend, the capture device 1 pulls the push plate 71 to rotate outward through the second elastic rope 72, and the second torsion spring 73 deforms, thereby removing the cover object covering it and preventing the cover object from obstructing the capture device 1 and the camera 3. When the capture device 1 moves downward and retracts, the pull rope is released, and then the push plate 71 is driven to rotate inward and retract under the action of the second torsion spring 73 resetting.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 It also includes a support mechanism 8, which includes an umbrella rod 81, a first insert rod 82, and a pressure spring 83. The two placement plates 63 have storage slots 84 on both the front and rear sides. The umbrella rod 81 is rotatably connected in the storage slots 84. The upper end of the umbrella rod 81 is made of damping material, and the lower end of the umbrella rod 81 is slidably connected to the first insert rod 82. The lower part of the umbrella rod 81 is connected to the pressure spring 83.

[0038] In the initial state, the pressure spring 83 is compressed. After the placement plate 63 is rotated outward and unfolded, the umbrella rod 81 is manually rotated downward to 90 degrees. Then, the first insertion rod 82 is manually rotated. Under the action of the pressure spring 83 resetting, the first insertion rod 82 moves downward and extends, pulling the umbrella rod 81 downward so that the first insertion rod 82 is inserted into the soil to support the placement plate 63 and prevent the equipment from tipping over due to the excessive weight of the placement plate 63. When the placement plate 63 is retracted, the first insertion rod 82 is manually moved upward to retract it. The first insertion rod 82 squeezes the pressure spring 83, which is compressed. Then, the first insertion rod 82 is rotated to limit its position, and then the umbrella rod 81 is retracted. The umbrella rod 81 is then rotated upward to retract into the storage slot 84.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11 It also includes a fixing structure 9, which includes a pressing plate 91 and a second insert rod 92. The pressing plate 91 is installed at the bottom of the placement cylinder 11, and the second insert rod 92 is evenly spaced around the bottom of the pressing plate 91.

[0040] Insert the second rod 92 into the soil to fix the device to the ground and improve its stability.
