After the drone takes off, the booster rocket falls by its own weight, and the flight mission is completed by the engine on the drone. Rocket-assisted launch technology is mature, has a large thrust range, and is low in cost, and has been serialized. Through the rocket-assisted launch device, the drone can achieve a faster take-off speed and a greater rise height, thereby meeting specific flight needs.

The two U-shaped support blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two first connecting rods 901, and the two drone fixing pins 11 are respectively located in the two U-shaped support blocks 10.

[0064] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 15 constitutes the basic structure of the device, providing a stable support for the upper components. The upper frame 16 is connected to the lower frame 15 through a connecting rod to form a movable structure, which serves as the main platform for placing the rocket body 1 and other auxiliary devices. The support legs 4 enhance the stability of the entire launch device. A space is formed between the limiting plates 1701 to accommodate the first limiting rod 1702. The first limiting rod 1702 is used as a basis for installing the rocket support seat 7. The rocket support seat 7 can rotate around the first limiting rod 1702, and a rocket support torsion spring 1703 is sleeved on its surface to facilitate adjusting the angle and maintaining the position of the rocket body 1. The rocket body 1 serves as the power source for the propulsion of the UAV, and the rocket push seat 2 Used to push the rocket into the air, the wing soft support 13 is provided with two, working through a connecting rod mechanism, mainly used to place and protect the wings of the UAV, the rocket support torsion spring 1703 ensures that the rocket support seat 7 can rotate freely within a specific range, and can automatically reset to the initial position, correctly install the UAV on the rocket support seat 7, and fix it with a locking mechanism, use the angle adjustment mechanism to set the optimal inclination angle of the upper frame 16, adjust the force of the wing soft support 13 on the UAV through the tension adjustment component to ensure appropriate launch force, check whether all connection parts are firm and reliable, and then proceed to the next step. The first support frame 301 is fixedly connected to the lower frame 15 as one end support point of the screw rod 302, and the second support frame 304 is also connected to the lower frame 15. The frame 15 is fixedly connected and is located at a relative position of the first support frame 301, serving as the other end support point of the screw rod 302. The screw rod 302 passes through the first support frame 301 and the second support frame 304 by a threaded connection, so that the screw rod 302 can rotate freely between the two support frames. The handle 303 is used to manually rotate the screw rod, thereby realizing the operation of the entire mechanism. The bolt bearing 305 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw rod 302 through a nut. When the screw rod 302 is rotated, the bolt bearing can move along the direction of the screw rod. One end of the single-head movable support column 306 is fixed to the bottom of the upper frame 16, and the other end is connected to the bolt bearing 305 through a connecting rod. As the bolt bearing 305 moves along the screw rod 302, the single-head movable support column 306 will change accordingly. Its position, thereby driving the change of the tilt angle of the upper frame 16. The double-headed movable support column 19 is arranged on the side close to the lower frame 15 and the upper frame 16 through a connecting rod, which plays an auxiliary supporting role and allows the upper frame to adjust its angle as needed. When the operator rotates the handle 303, the screw rod 302 rotates accordingly. As the screw rod 302 rotates, the bolt bearing 305 will move linearly along the screw rod 302. The position change of the bolt bearing 305 directly causes the single-headed movable support column 306 connected thereto to be displaced. The displacement of the single-headed movable support column 306 causes the upper frame 16 to rotate around the axis formed by the double-headed movable support column 19, thereby changing its angle relative to the horizontal plane. In this way, the tilt degree of the upper frame 16 can be very finely controlled.In order to adapt to different launch requirements, the fixed rod 501 serves as the basic structure of the entire tension adjustment mechanism, providing a path for the fixed nut 502 to move along its surface. The surface of the fixed rod 501 has threads for the movement of the fixed nut 502, and the positive and negative threads are used to adjust the tension of the fixed rod 501. The fixed rod 501 is used for the placement of the UAV. By rotating the fixed nut 502, its position on the fixed rod 501 can be changed, thereby adjusting the support strength of the wing soft support 13. Clockwise rotation of the fixed nut will cause it to move inward along the fixed rod, increasing the pressure on the UAV, thereby increasing the support strength of the UAV wing; conversely, counterclockwise rotation reduces the pressure. The first connecting rod 901 provides basic support for the entire locking mechanism, and the U-shaped support block 10 is used to place The UAV fixing pin 11 is placed and supported. The UAV fixing pin 11 is locked by cooperating with a specific part of the UAV. The front bracket torsion spring 903 provides a certain elastic restoring force, which helps to maintain the stability of the device. The middle connecting rod 1201 plays the role of connecting and enhancing the overall rigidity. The middle nut 1202 can adjust its position by rotation, thereby adjusting the tightness of the entire mechanism. The second connecting rod 14 facilitates the docking of the middle connecting rod 1201. When the UAV is placed in place, the UAV fixing pin 11 is inserted into the U-shaped support block 10, and ensure that they are correctly inserted into the reserved holes or other matching structures on the UAV. By rotating the middle nut 1202, the pressure of the middle connecting rod 1201 on the second connecting rod 14 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the clamping force of the entire locking mechanism on the UAV. Properly tightening the middle nut can make the drone more firmly fixed on the launch platform. The front bracket torsion spring 903 provides additional elastic support to help keep the device stable when subjected to slight external force. In this device, the launch plane must be raised to 16 degrees for vehicle-mounted launch. Due to the large wingspan of the drone, the width of the vehicle is limited and only 4 drones can be placed at an angle. When loading the vehicle, the drones close to the cab are loaded first, in order of 1, 2, 3, and 4. When launching, 4 is launched first, in order of 4, 3, 2, and 1. In this way, there is no interference between drones during loading and launching. The drone launch angle adjustment is accurate and easy to operate; the reliability of drone locking and release is high.

[0065] For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 A stabilizing rod 23 is provided at the lower end of the supporting leg 4, and the stabilizing rod 23 is a solid structure.

[0066] In this embodiment: the main function of the stabilizer bar 23 is to increase the contact area between the support leg 4 and the ground, thereby dispersing the pressure, reducing the pressure per unit area, and preventing the ground from sinking or becoming unstable due to excessive local pressure. The stabilizer bar 23 is made of solid material, and the entire plate body is made of solid material. Such a design can significantly improve the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the support leg 4 when in contact with the ground.

[0067] For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 Two gaskets 20 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the lower frame 15, and the bottom of the upper frame 16 is in contact with the gasket 20, so that when the upper frame 16 is folded and stored, there will be no collision between metals.

[0068] In this embodiment: the gasket 20 is located at the position where the bottom of the upper frame 16 is about to contact. The specific shape and size of the gasket need to be customized according to the contact surface of the upper and lower frames to ensure that it can completely cover the contact area and will not hinder the normal movement of the upper frame 16. When the upper frame 16 is folded and stored, its bottom will be pressed on the gasket 20 instead of directly contacting the metal surface of the lower frame 15. The buffer layer provided by the gasket 20 can effectively absorb and disperse pressure, reduce scratches, dents or other damage caused by hard contact, and due to the elastic properties of the gasket, it can also slow down the impact generated when the upper frame 16 is lowered, thereby reducing the noise level.

[0069] For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 The upper end of the upper frame 16 is fixedly connected with a fixing ring 18 , and a spring 6 is provided between the fixed rod 501 and the fixing ring 18 .

[0070] In this embodiment: the presence of spring 6 provides a certain elastic space for the fixed rod 501. When the drone needs to adjust the pressure, the spring can absorb part of the force to prevent sudden changes from causing impact or damage to the drone. By rotating the fixed nut 502, its position on the fixed rod 501 can be changed to adjust the support force for the drone. The spring 6 plays a role of buffering and auxiliary regulation in this process. The elastic restoring force provided by the spring helps to maintain the stability of the entire device. Even if there is a slight external interference in the launch preparation stage, the spring can help the device quickly return to the set state.

[0071] For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 A plug hole 24 is provided at one side end of the lower frame 15 , a plurality of limiting holes 21 are provided on the surface of the handle 303 , a second limiting rod 22 is provided in the plug hole 24 , and the second limiting rod 22 is located in the limiting hole 21 .

[0072] In this embodiment: the insertion hole 24 provides a fixed position for the second limiting rod 22, so that it can be inserted and remain stable. The limiting holes 21 are evenly distributed at different positions of the handle, so that when the handle is rotated to a specific angle, the second limiting rod 22 can be inserted into one of the holes. The function of the second limiting rod 22 is to lock the position of the handle by inserting different limiting holes, thereby fixing the angle of the upper frame 16. The operator first adjusts the screw rod 302 by rotating the handle 303, thereby driving the bolt bearing 305 to move, changing the position of the single-head movable support column 306, and finally adjusting the angle of the upper frame 16. Once the desired angle is reached, the operator can select the limiting hole 21 at the corresponding position on the handle 303, and then remove the second limiting rod 22 from the insertion hole 24 and insert it into the selected limiting hole. In this way, the handle 303 is fixed, thereby locking the current angle setting. When the angle needs to be adjusted again, just pull out the second limiting rod 22, rotate the handle 303 again, and then select the appropriate limiting hole to lock it.

[0073] For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 The upper ends of the two wing soft supports 13 are fixedly connected with pads 8.

[0074] In this embodiment: the pad 8 is in direct contact with the wing of the drone and is made of a material with a certain elasticity. The shape and size of the pad 8 are customized according to the structure and size of the drone wing to ensure that it can fully cover and support the key parts of the wing. The design of the pad 8 should take into account the versatility of different types of drones. When the drone is placed on the soft support 13 of the wing, the pad 8 provides an additional buffer layer to reduce the scratches or dents that may be caused by the hard support surface to the wing. The pad 8 increases the contact area and helps to better disperse the pressure, so that the wing is placed more firmly on the support, reducing the risk of sliding or shifting. Since the pad has a certain elasticity, it can adapt to wings of different shapes and sizes, providing a wider compatibility and a better user experience.
