However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this invention and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described herein without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this invention. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used in the following embodiments are commercially available unless otherwise specified. Example

[0026] like Figure 1-9As shown, the present invention provides an overall drone system, including a building 1, wherein the building 1 has a plurality of pits 2 extending from the top to the bottom, and the top of the pits 2 is circular. The top of each of the pits 2 is provided with a rainproof mechanism 5 for preventing rain and snow from entering the interior. The bottom of each of the pits 2 is provided with a lifting mechanism 18 for transporting the drone to the top of the building 1, and a plurality of parking positions 26 are provided around each of the lifting mechanisms 18.

[0027] The top of the foundation pit 2 is a circle with a diameter of 8m, and the diameter of several parking spaces 26 is also 8m. Building 1 has two floors: the first floor is the parking floor, the second floor is the waiting floor, and the roof is the drone take-off and landing floor.

[0028] In this embodiment, specifically, each of the foundation pits 2 of the building 1 is provided with four rectangular building foundation columns 3, and each of the four building foundation columns 3 is fixed with a building support frame 4 perpendicular to the ground on one side towards the center.

[0029] In this embodiment, specifically, the rainproof mechanism 5 includes: I-beam slide rails 25, hanging beams 7, skylight support frames 8, rainproof skylights 6, and worm gear screw jacks 15; several I-beam slide rails 25 are provided and are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the building 1; several hanging beams 7 are provided and are respectively vertically slidably connected to the bottom of several I-beam slide rails 25 at one end; two skylight support frames 8 are provided and are respectively fixed to the other end of several hanging beams 7 at their top; several worm gear screw jacks 15 are provided and are respectively fixed to the top of two skylight support frames 8, and each has a pad 11 fixed to the end of its output drive shaft; two rainproof skylights 6 are provided and are respectively fixed to several pads 11 at their bottom.

[0030] The rainproof skylight 6 is made of aluminum. The worm gear screw jack 15 can be replaced with a hydraulic cylinder, a servo electric cylinder, or other drive components. Reciprocating drive components need to be installed on both sides of the inner top of the building 1 to control the rainproof mechanism 5 to separate to both sides after it descends and slides on the I-beam slide rail 25, so as not to block the lifting mechanism 18 below the pit 2 from moving up to the roof of the building 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, specifically, at least six I-beam slide rails 25 are provided; the two rainproof skylights 6 are mirrored semicircles, and the rainproof skylight 6 includes a base plate 9 at the bottom and several assembly plates 10 fixed to the top of the base plate 9. Each assembly plate 10 has a protrusion 13 on one side and a concave block 12 that matches the protrusion 13 on the other side, and is formed by splicing the protrusion 13 and the concave block 12. The top of the assembly plate 10 is also provided with several anti-slip blocks 14.

[0032] In this embodiment, specifically, the two semi-circular rainproof skylights 6 form a circle, and the contact parts of the two rainproof skylights 6 are respectively a protrusion 13 and a concave block 12. The top of the protrusion 13 is fixed with a Z-shaped second sealing strip 17, and the concave block 12 of the contact part of the two rainproof skylights 6 is engaged with the protrusion 13 and the second sealing strip 17.

[0033] In this embodiment, specifically, the top of the building 1 is fixed with a plurality of arc-shaped first sealing strips 16 that surround the foundation pit 2. The plurality of the first sealing strips 16 form a ring, and the inner ring surface extends to the top of the foundation pit 2 and abuts against the edge of the rainproof skylight 6.

[0034] One end of the first sealing strip 16 has a 166-degree arc, and the other end is fixed to the roof of the building 1 by rivets. When the rainproof skylight 6 is raised to the top of the pit 2, it abuts against the arc end of the first sealing strip 16 and makes its overall angle return to about 180 degrees, so as to achieve a tight fit and seal.

[0035] In this embodiment, specifically, the lifting mechanism 18 includes a protective box 19, a servo motor 20, a rigid chain 21, brackets 22, a platform support frame 23, and a lifting platform 24. Four protective boxes 19 are provided, each fixedly connected to one side of the four building support frames 4 inside the foundation pit 2, with one end extending to the top of the foundation pit 2 and both ends perpendicular to the ground. Four servo motors 20 are provided, each fixedly connected to one side of the four protective boxes 19. Four rigid chains 21 are provided, each connected to the output end of a servo motor 20 at one end, and the other end slidably connected within the four protective boxes 19. Four brackets 22 are provided, each fixedly connected to one point of one of the four rigid chains 21, with one end of each bracket facing the axis of the foundation pit 2. The platform support frame 23 is fixedly connected to the other end of each of the four brackets 22 via its bottom periphery. The lifting platform 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the platform support frame 23.

[0036] In this embodiment, specifically, the height of several of the pads 11 increases from one side to the other, and the two rainproof skylights 6 are tilted at an angle.

[0037] In this embodiment, specifically, there are at least four foundation pits 2 and at least four parking positions 26.

[0038] Operating Principle: Initially, the elevator platform 24 is in standby position on the ground floor, with the rainproof skylight 6 closed as the normal operating condition. During flight missions, the command center controls the movement of the aircraft from the tray at parking position 26 to the elevator platform 24. The elevator platform 24 then carries the drone to the rooftop (simultaneously, the rainproof mechanism 5 opens before the elevator platform 24 reaches the rooftop). After takeoff, the elevator platform 24 returns to the parking level, the empty tray moves back to the original parking position 26, and the rainproof mechanism 5 closes. Before landing, the command center controls the elevator platform 24 to rise to the rooftop (simultaneously, the rainproof mechanism 5 opens before the elevator platform 24 reaches the rooftop), and the drone lands on the elevator platform 24 and follows it back to the parking level, completing one check-in / check-out process. Passengers board and disembark on the rooftop.

[0039] When the rainproof mechanism 5 is working, the rainproof skylight 6 is raised or lowered by the worm gear screw jack 15. When it is raised, the top of the rainproof skylight 6 is flush with the top of the building 1 and abuts against the first sealing strip 16 to achieve a seal against rain. When it is lowered, the rainproof skylight 6 descends to below the top of the building 1. Through other driving components, the two skylight support frames 8 are centrifugally separated by the sliding of the I-beam slide rail 25 until the pit 2 is no longer blocked. When the two rainproof skylights 6 are closed, the second sealing strip 17 between them will fill the gap between the protrusion 13 and the concave block 12 to achieve a seal against water.

[0040] When the lifting mechanism 18 is working, the four servo motors 20 respectively drive the rigid chain 21. One end of the rigid chain 21 moves up and down in the protective box 19 through the guide, and drives the platform support frame 23 connected together to move up and down in the pit 2. At the same time, it drives the lifting platform 24 to move up and down. When the lifting platform 24 is raised to the top of the building 1, it is flush with the top of the building 1.

[0041] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
