Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drone hangars, and in particular to a drone hangar capable of preventing a drone hangar door from being stuck. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, with the rapid development of the internet, drones have found widespread application in many fields of modern society, such as forestry, power grids, maritime security, and surveying and mapping. Drones can perform tasks such as reconnaissance, detection, and inspection. However, a single drone operation system still requires a large number of personnel to maintain it, and these personnel must possess a high level of professional expertise. This means that a single drone operation system does not achieve true unmanned operation. Therefore, the development of a drone operation system that can operate without human intervention—a drone hangar system—has emerged.

[0003] In recent years, drone hangar systems have gradually gained popularity. These systems integrate automated drone homing, storage, maintenance, and charging functions. The entire drone operation process is controlled by the system itself, requiring no human intervention. Currently, drone hangar systems are primarily used for multi-rotor drones, and most are consumer-grade. Conventional drone hangars consist of a hangar frame, within which are located a parking platform, a lifting mechanism, and a power supply. An opening is located at the top of the hangar frame, and a hangar door mechanism is installed at the opening. This door controls the hangar's opening and closing. When the hangar is opened, drones inside can fly out.

[0004] Conventional drones are used to conduct surveys within specific geographical environments. During these surveys, a hangar is set up at a specific location, and the drone is placed inside. When the survey is needed, the hangar door is opened, and the drone flies out. Once the survey is complete, the drone lands inside. However, in some areas prone to heavy rain and snow, the temperature difference between day and night is significant. When it rains or snows, ice forms between the hangar door and the hangar, preventing the drone from being opened again. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] The present invention provides a drone hangar that prevents the drone hangar door 200 from getting stuck. Figure 1-Figure 5The hangar frame 100 includes a hangar opening 110 formed on its upper side, with a hangar door 200 mounted on the hangar opening 110. A mounting frame 300 is formed on the side of the hangar frame 100 near the hangar opening 110. A track 400 is integrally formed on the upper side of the mounting frame 300 to mate with the hangar door 200. A heating mechanism 500 is provided inside the mounting frame 300 to heat the track 400. A cleaning mechanism 600 is provided within the track 400 to clear any accumulated water. During use, the heating mechanism 500 heats the contact area between the mounting frame 300, the track 400, and the hangar door 200, preventing ice from forming between the hangar door 200 and the track 400 in rainy or snowy weather, which could prevent the hangar door 200 from being opened. The cleaning mechanism 600 can also be used to clean any accumulated water or snow on the track 400 when the hangar door 200 is opened.

[0028] The track 400 includes an outer rail frame 410 with a U-shaped cross-section, and a slide 420 is formed inside the outer rail frame 410. Limit bars 430 are respectively provided on the vertical side walls of the slide 420. The length of the limit bars 430 is parallel to the length of the slide 420. The upper sides of the two limit bars 430 are slidably connected to the hangar door 200, and a cleaning mechanism 600 is provided on the lower sides of the two limit bars 430. The limit bars 430 have a triangular cross-section. One side of the limit bar 430 is fixedly connected to the vertical side wall of the slide 420, and the angle between the two sides of the limit bar 430 away from the side wall of the slide 420 is a right angle or an obtuse angle. Furthermore, the side of the limit bar 430 near the hangar door 200 is tilted downward, which can facilitate rainwater falling into the lower side of the limit bar 430, separating the hangar door 200 from rainwater and preventing the hangar door 200 from freezing.

[0029] The hangar door 200 includes a first door 210 and a second door 220 , and both the first door 210 and the second door 220 are slidably connected to the track 400 .

[0030] Specifically, baffles 230 are spaced apart on the sides of the first and second hatches 210 and 220 near the track 400, forming a water-blocking channel 240 between the two baffles 230. The track 400 is positioned within the water-blocking channel 240. A guide block 250 is fixed within the water-blocking channel 240, engaging the slideway 420 and abutting against the stop bar 430. A screw rod 440 is rotatably connected within the slideway 420, positioned above the stop bar 430 and threadedly connected to the guide block 250. A drive motor is located at one end of the track 400 to drive the screw rod 440. Once connected, the two baffles 230 limit the position of the track 400 from the outside, while the guide block 250 drives the inside. During operation, the drive motor rotates the screw rod 440, controlling the guide block 250 to slide along the length of the slideway 420.

[0031] The cleaning mechanism 600 includes an elastic link 610 fixed to the guide block 250. The elastic link 610 is located on the side of the guide block 250 away from the hangar door 200. A scraper 620 is fixed to the end of the elastic link 610 away from the guide block 250. The scraper 620 abuts the bottom of the slide 420. Drain holes are provided at the bottom of the slide 420 and at both ends of the slide 420. The drain holes are connected to the outside of the hangar frame 100. When the drone is opened or closed, the scraper 620 can scrape away water at the bottom of the slide 420.

[0032] An installation cavity 310 is formed inside the installation frame 300 , and the heating mechanism 500 includes an electric heating plate 510 fixed in the installation cavity 310 .

[0033] A first mounting slot 320 is provided on a side of the mounting frame 300 near the slide 420. The first mounting slot 320 connects to the slide 420. A first heat conducting plate 520 is sealed and fixed in the first mounting slot 320. The end of the first heat conducting plate 520 near the mounting cavity 310 abuts the electric heating plate 510, and the end near the slide 420 is flush with the bottom of the slide 420. The scraper 620 contacts the first heat conducting plate 520. During use, the electric heating plate 510 heats the first heat conducting plate 520, which in turn heats the inside of the slide 420 to prevent ice from forming at the bottom of the slide 420. Subsequently, during operation, the hanging plate can smoothly scrape away moisture from the slide 420. In addition, the first heat conducting plate 520 can heat and insulate the inside of the slide 420 to a certain extent, preventing the guide block 250 and the limit bar 430 from freezing. The mounting frame 300 is made of a heat-insulating material. After installation, centralized heating is performed through the first heat conducting plate 520 to improve the heating effect on the hanging plate and avoid excessive heat loss.

[0034] Preferably, the baffle 230 includes an inner baffle 231 near the center of the hangar and an outer baffle 232 away from the center of the hangar, and an abutment plate 233 is integrally formed on the outer baffle 232. The abutment plate 233 is inclined toward the side close to the installation frame 300 and abuts against the installation frame 300.

[0035] A second mounting long groove 330 is provided on the vertical side wall of the mounting frame 300 and on both side walls parallel to the length direction of the first mounting long groove 320. The second mounting long groove 330 is located on the vertical side wall of the mounting cavity 310 away from the center, and the second mounting long groove 330 is connected to the mounting cavity 310; a second heat conducting plate 530 is sealed and fixed in the second mounting long groove 330, and the second heat conducting plate 530 is parallel to the outer side wall of the mounting frame 300; the abutment plate 233 elastically abuts against the outer side of the second heat conducting plate 530.

[0036] After installation, the inner side of the slideway 420 is restrained by the contact of the limiting strip 430 and the guide block 250, while the outer side is restrained by the sliding contact of the abutment plates 233 on both sides and the second heat conducting plate 530, allowing the hangar door 200 to slide on the upper side of the installation frame 300. During use, the heating of the second heat conducting plate 530 prevents the contact area between the abutment plates 233 and the second heat conducting plate 530 from freezing, ensuring that the hangar door 200 can open normally.

[0037] Furthermore, the stop bar 430 is provided with a heating hole 431 along its length, and an electric heating column 540 is embedded in the heating hole 431. When powered on, the electric heating column 540 generates heat, which in turn heats the stop bar 430, keeping the temperature between the stop bar 430 and the guide block 250 relatively high, preventing ice from forming, and thus preventing the hangar door 200 from getting stuck due to rain or snow.

[0038] Sealing strips are respectively provided on the side surfaces of the first hatch 210 and the second hatch 220 close to each other; a shielding plate 260 is fixed on the side edge of the first hatch 210 close to the second hatch 220, the cross-section of the shielding plate 260 is L-shaped, and part of the shielding plate 260 is located on the upper side of the second hatch 220.

[0039] The present invention provides a drone hangar that prevents the drone hangar door from getting stuck. During use, a mounting frame is provided on the upper side of the hangar frame, and a track is provided on the upper side of the mounting frame. The hangar door and the track cooperate to slide open or close. During the sliding process, the guide block slides in cooperation with the slide rail, and the hangar door is further limited on the outside by an abutment plate provided to prevent rainwater from entering the slide rail. At the same time, rainwater that enters the slide rail can be scraped off by a cleaning mechanism hoisted on the lower side of the guide block. During use, the guide block, scraping mechanism, and the abutment plate on the outside that are slidably connected to the track can be separately heated by a heating mechanism to prevent the contact position from freezing. Through the above scheme, it is ensured that the drone hangar can avoid freezing during the placement process and the operation process. At the same time, rainwater that enters the track can be scraped off, ensuring that the hangar door can be opened and closed normally in an environment with a large temperature difference.
