[0024] See also Figure 1-3 The vehicle-mounted drone charging platform system shown in the figure comprises an installation panel 1, a box body 2 which is arranged under the installation panel 1 and is concave, a lifting device is arranged in the box body 2, a charging box 3 is installed on the lifting device, the rear end of the charging box 3 is arranged to be open, a wireless charging plate 5 is slidably inserted into the open, a baffle 7 capable of closing the open is arranged at the rear end of the wireless charging plate 5, a downwardly extending skateboard 15 is arranged at the front end of the wireless power bank, a first screw hole is arranged on the skateboard 15, a guide hole 4 which is slidably matched with the skateboard 15 is arranged at the bottom of the charging box 3, a first motor 13 is installed on the bottom surface of the charging box 3, a first screw rod 14 which is threadedly matched with the first screw hole is axially connected to the shaft end of the first motor 13, and a heat dissipation hole 8 is arranged on the baffle 7.

[0025] Through the implementation of the above technical solutions, the vehicle-mounted drone charging platform system is installed inside or outside the vehicle for wireless charging of the drone. The drone can be located in a relatively closed environment when charging, so that the drone charging process is not affected by the external environment.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to further provide a lifting device, the lifting device includes a connecting plate 16 symmetrically hinged to the side of the charging box 3; an oblong hole 17 is provided on the connecting plate 16, and a first pin shaft 18 slidingly matched with the oblong hole 17 is provided on the side of the box body 2, and a traction mechanism is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 16; the traction mechanism is used to pull the connecting plate 16 to move toward or away from each other.

[0027] Furthermore, the traction mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged sliders 20, a U-shaped block 19 telescopically mounted on the sliders 20, the top of the U-shaped block 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 16 via a second pin shaft 22, and second screw holes with opposite threads are provided on the two sliders 20. A second motor 9 is installed outside the box body 2, and the shaft end of the second motor 9 is connected to a second screw rod 21 respectively screwed to the two sliders 20.

[0028] When it is necessary to lift, the second motor 9 drives the second screw rod 21 to rotate, driving the two sliders 20 to move closer or farther, cooperating with the guidance of the first pin shaft 18 and the vertical movement of the U-shaped block 19, so as to pull the charging box 3 up or down through the connecting plate 16. Two connecting plates 16 are provided on each side of the charging box 3, and the charging box 3 is stably supported by the cooperation of the four connecting plates 16. When the charging box 3 rises to its place, the first motor 13 and the slide plate 15 cooperate to drive the wireless charging plate 5 to extend or retract through the opening.

[0029] Furthermore, the top of the front end of the charging box 3 is set as a curved surface 10. Through such a setting, when the vehicle-mounted drone charging platform system is installed outside the vehicle, the end with the curved surface 10 is facing the direction of the vehicle, which can reduce wind resistance and noise.

[0030] Furthermore, the wireless charging plate 5 is provided with a stop bar 6 around it and a magnetic charging coil 11 in the middle. The stop bar 6 can prevent the drone from slipping, and the magnetic charging coil 11 can make the drone more firmly positioned.
