It is usually a well-equipped building or area that provides parking, charging, maintenance and management functions for drones. The intelligent dispatching device of a drone hangar refers to a device or system used to manage and dispatch drones, including but not limited to the preparation of drones before takeoff, flight path and mission area after takeoff, landing after takeoff, maintenance, management and battery replacement after landing, etc.

In the above manner, the propeller blades of the drone are retracted by the two slidable telescopic rods on the drone hangar, which greatly reduces the space occupied by the drone, thereby reducing the overall volume of the drone hangar and reducing the overall weight of the drone hangar.
[0004] However, the following problems still exist in the above-mentioned drone hangar:

The end of the swing mechanism away from the supporting assembly passes through the waterproof cover 4 and is connected to the drying box 11. The outer wall of the swing mechanism is connected to the outer wall of the waterproof cover 4. The inner wall of the drying box 11 is fixedly connected with a heating wire 24. The inner wall of the drying box 11 is also connected with a plurality of air blowing mechanisms. The heating wire 24 is located directly above the plurality of air blowing mechanisms and the apron 5. A plurality of rain sensors 6 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the apron 5. A baffle 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the apron 5, and the baffle 12 is located on the side close to the supporting assembly.
[0048] The drone fault monitoring and early warning device and its use method in the present invention are similar to the existing drone hangar structure, such as a drone hangar disclosed in the patent with publication number CN218431792U. Figures 1 to 14As shown, in the unmanned aerial vehicle fault monitoring and early warning device and its use method of the present invention, when in normal use, after the controller inside the hangar body 1 issues a task instruction to the unmanned aerial vehicle, the flip mechanism starts to open the hangar door 2. After the hangar door 2 is opened, the power mechanism starts to push the apron 5 to the outside of the hangar body 1, and then the unmanned aerial vehicle performs the flight mission normally according to the instruction. When the unmanned aerial vehicle encounters rainy and snowy weather during the execution of the mission, the unmanned aerial vehicle sends a return signal to the hangar body 1. After the internal processor of the hangar body 1 processes and determines, the controller issues an instruction to control the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly back. When the unmanned aerial vehicle is about to reach the hangar body 1, the internal controller of the hangar body 1 opens the hangar door 2 again through the flip mechanism, and then the power mechanism starts to push the apron 5 to the outside of the hangar body 1. The mechanism pushes the apron 5 out of the hangar body 1 again, and then the UAV falls normally above the apron 5. When the apron 5 is moved out of the hangar body 1, several rain sensors 6 on its surface can sense whether there is rain outside, or detect that there is rain on the surface of the UAV. At this time, the rain sensor 6 transmits an electrical signal to the internal processor of the hangar body 1, and then the power mechanism is started through the controller. The power mechanism retracts the apron 5 and the UAV on the apron 5 into the hangar body 1, so that the external rain can no longer fall on the UAV and the apron 5. At the same time, the power mechanism rotates the waterproof cover 4 upwards, and when the waterproof cover 4 rotates to above the apron 5, the waterproof cover 4 is located The internal drying box 11 is located in the middle of the waterproof cover 4, that is, above the UAV. At this time, the controller starts the heating wire 24, several blowing mechanisms and the swing mechanism. After the heating wire 24 is started, the temperature inside the waterproof cover 4 will be increased. After the blowing mechanism is started, the heated air will be blown to the UAV to accelerate the evaporation of rainwater on the surface of the UAV. After the swing mechanism is started, the UAV will be dried from multiple angles until the rain sensor 6 detects that the rainwater drops below the set value and stops. Then the controller inside the hangar body 1 reverses the above steps and rotates the waterproof cover 4 to the bottom of the apron 5 again, so that the waterproof cover 4 will not affect the execution of the next flight mission of the UAV. The above steps can accelerate the evaporation of rainwater, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the UAV or the interior of the hangar body 1, causing damage to the UAV or the hangar body 1. By setting the baffle 12, the upper surface of the apron 5 is separated into two areas, so that the UAV can be docked on a specific side of the apron 5. During maintenance and debugging, the baffle 12 can also be used to determine whether the apron 5 located outside the hangar body 1 meets specific standards (because normal aprons 5 are squares. If the baffle 12 is still located in the hangar body 1, it means that the apron 5 located in the external area of the hangar body 1 is not a square, which will cause subsequent UAVs to easily collide with the hangar body 1 when docking).
[0049] It should be noted here that the evaporated water vapor can be discharged to the outside by opening air vents at the bottom of the hangar body 1 or other locations where rainwater cannot enter; setting the hangar door 2 on the side of the hangar body 1 can also prevent rainwater from entering the hangar body 1 from the top.
[0050] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the support assembly includes a mounting seat 17 and a support rod 18, one side of the mounting seat 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hangar body 1 away from the hangar door 2, the other side of the mounting seat 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 18, and the other end of the support rod 18 is connected to the power mechanism and the swing mechanism.
[0051] More specifically, during installation, the mounting base 17 is fixed to the inner wall of the hangar body 1, and then the end of the power mechanism away from the hangar door 2 is fixed to the support rod 18, so that the power mechanism, the apron 5 and the waterproof cover 4 are not prone to tilting or collapse.
[0052] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the power mechanism includes a cylinder 13 and a rotating motor 15, the output end of the cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 18 away from the mounting seat 17, the outer wall of the cylinder 13 away from the output end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating motor 15, the outer wall of the other side of the rotating motor 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 20, the output shaft of the rotating motor 15 passes through the connecting block 20 and is fixedly connected to one side of the waterproof cover 4, the other side of the waterproof cover 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of the output end of the cylinder 13, and the end of the swing mechanism away from the waterproof cover 4 is connected to the cylinder 13.
[0053] More specifically, when it is necessary to control the extension and retraction of the helipad 5, the controller opens the cylinder 13. Since the output end of the cylinder 13 is fixed to the support rod 18, when the output end is extended, the outer shell of the cylinder 13 will extend toward the direction of the hangar door 2, thereby pushing the rotating motor 15, the waterproof cover 4 and the helipad 5 to move toward the direction of the hangar door 2 until the helipad 5 moves to the outside of the hangar body 1 and stops at a position sufficient for the drone to be lifted or lowered.
[0054] When it is necessary to control the rotation of the waterproof cover 4, the internal controller of the hangar body 1 turns on the rotating motor 15, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 15 rotates, driving the waterproof cover 4 to rotate, thereby realizing the upward and downward flipping of the waterproof cover 4.
[0055] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the swing mechanism includes a swing motor 16, an L-shaped rod 22, a swing main gear 30 and a swing assembly, one end of the L-shaped rod 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the waterproof cover 4, the other end of the L-shaped rod 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the swing motor 16, the output shaft of the swing motor 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the swing main gear 30, one end of the swing assembly is connected to the swing main gear 30, the other end of the swing assembly is sleeved on the outer wall of the cylinder 13 and passes through the outer wall of the waterproof cover 4, and one end of the swing assembly passes through the waterproof cover 4 and is connected to the drying box 11.
[0056] More specifically, when the surface of the drone needs to be dried, the controller inside the hangar body 1 turns on the switch of the swing motor 16, and the output shaft of the swing motor 16 drives the swing main gear 30 to rotate. After the swing main gear 30 rotates, it will drive the swing component to rotate, thereby driving the swing component to rotate inside the waterproof cover 4, thereby realizing multi-directional drying of the drone surface.
[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the swing assembly includes a swing slave gear 29, a swing rod 19 and a rotating rod 23. The swing slave gear 29 is sleeved on the outer wall of the output end of the cylinder 13, and the swing slave gear 29 is meshed with the swing main gear 30. The end of the swing slave gear 29 away from the swing main gear 30 passes through the waterproof cover 4 and is fixedly connected to one end of the swing rod 19. The other end of the swing rod 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 23. The other end of the rotating rod 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drying box 11. The inner wall of the swing slave gear 29 is rotatably connected to the output end of the cylinder 13, and the outer wall of the swing slave gear 29 away from the tooth is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the waterproof cover 4.
[0058] More specifically, when the swing main gear 30 rotates, it will engage and drive the swing slave gear 29 to rotate. When the swing slave gear 29 rotates, it will drive the swing rod 19 located inside the waterproof cover 4 to rotate, and then the swing rod 19 can drive the rotating rod 23 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 23 can drive the drying box 11 to swing left and right inside the waterproof cover 4, thereby completing the multi-directional drying of the surface of the drone on the apron 5.
[0059] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a touch sensor 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the swing arm 19 close to the swing gear 29, and three positioning sensors 14 are fixedly connected to the inside of the waterproof cover 4 close to the swing arm 19. The three positioning sensors 14 are respectively located on the left, middle and upper sides of the inside of the waterproof cover 4 and are equidistantly arranged. The touch sensor 25 can be matched and aligned with the three positioning sensors 14.
[0060] More specifically, by setting up a touch sensor 25 and three positioning sensors 14, the system controller can determine the positions of the swing rod 19, the rotating rod 23 and the drying box 11 inside the waterproof cover 4 through the contact between the touch sensor 25 and the three positioning sensors 14 respectively. For example, when the touch sensor 25 contacts the leftmost positioning sensor 14, the electrical signal will be transmitted, and the controller will quickly control the swing motor 16 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby realizing multi-angle cycle drying of the surface of the drone, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0061] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hair dryer mechanism includes a cross bracket 31, a blowing motor 28 and fan blades 27. A plurality of exhaust outlets 26 are provided on the bottom surface of the drying box 11. The four ends of the cross bracket 31 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the exhaust outlet 26. The outer wall of the blowing motor 28 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cross bracket 31. The output shaft of the blowing motor 28 passes through the cross bracket 31 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the fan blades 27. The upper surface of the drying box 11 and the inner walls of the plurality of exhaust outlets 26 are fixedly connected with a dustproof net 21. The dustproof net 21 is located above the heating wire 24.
[0062] More specifically, when it is necessary to blow the hot air inside the drying box 11 toward the drone on the apron 5, the controller inside the hangar body 1 starts the switch of the blowing motor 28. After the blowing motor 28 is started, the output shaft drives the fan blades 27 to rotate, thereby generating suction on the back side. Therefore, the air heated by the heating wire 24 inside the drying box 11 can be blown toward the surface of the drone. By providing a dustproof net 21, dust can be prevented from falling into the drying box 11 from the top of the drying box 11 or the exhaust port 26, thereby affecting the heating effect of the heating wire 24.
[0063] It should be particularly noted here that the blower mechanism can also be located above the heating wire 24 to achieve the same effect, and there is no specific limitation thereto.
[0064] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping motor 8, a flipping main gear 9, a flipping slave gear 10 and two rotating blocks 7. The outer wall of the flipping motor 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hangar body 1, the output shaft of the flipping motor 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the flipping main gear 9, one side of the two rotating blocks 7 is respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the hangar door 2 close to the hangar body 1, the two rotating blocks 7 are rotatably connected to the hangar body 1 through the internal rotating shaft, one side of the flipping slave gear 10 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating blocks 7, and the flipping main gear 9 and the flipping slave gear 10 are meshed.
[0065] More specifically, when it is necessary to open or close the hangar door 2, the internal controller of the hangar body 1 turns on the switch of the flip motor 8. After the flip motor 8 is started, the output shaft drives the flip main gear 9 to rotate. After the flip main gear 9 rotates, the meshing drives the flip slave gear 10 to rotate. Since the flip slave gear 10 is fixed to the rotating block 7, the rotating block 7 will rotate together. Moreover, since the rotating block 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hangar body 1 through the rotating shaft, it will drive the hangar door 2 to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby achieving the purpose of opening or closing the hangar door 2.
[0066] As a preferred solution of the present invention, an early warning system is provided inside the hangar body 1 .
[0067] More specifically, by setting up an early warning system inside the hangar body 1, the external weather can be monitored in real time. For example, when rain, wind or snow is detected, an early warning can be issued in time and the drone can be controlled to fly back in time.
[0068] Of course, if the drone that flies back into the hangar body 1 is damaged, the early warning system can also transmit the damage signal to the outside in time, so that maintenance personnel can repair it in time.

10. The UAV fault monitoring and early warning device and the use method thereof according to any one of claims 1 to 9, comprising the following steps: Step 1: After the controller inside the hangar body (1) issues a mission instruction to the drone, the flipping mechanism starts to open the hangar door (2). Step 2: After the hangar door (2) is opened, the power mechanism is started to push the apron (5) to the outside of the hangar body 1, and then the UAV performs the flight mission normally according to the instructions. Step 3: When the UAV encounters rain or snow during its mission, the UAV sends a return signal to the hangar body (1). After the internal processor of the hangar body (1) processes and determines, the controller issues a command to control the UAV to fly back. Step 4: When the UAV is about to reach the hangar body (1), the internal controller of the hangar body (1) opens the hangar door (2) again through the flip mechanism. Step 5: The power mechanism then pushes the apron (5) out of the hangar body (1) again, and the drone then falls normally above the apron (5). Step 6: When the apron (5) is moved out of the hangar body (1), a number of rain sensors (6) on its surface can sense whether there is rain outside, or detect rain on the surface of the drone.

Step 9: After the heating wire (24) is activated, the temperature inside the waterproof cover (4) increases. Step 10: After the blower mechanism is started, it will blow heated air toward the drone to accelerate the evaporation of rainwater on the surface of the drone. Step 11: After the swing mechanism is started, the drone will be dried from multiple angles until the rain sensor (6) detects that the rain drops below the set value and then stops. Step 12: The controller inside the hangar body (1) then performs the above steps in reverse order to rotate the waterproof cover (4) again to the bottom of the apron (5), so that the waterproof cover (4) will not affect the next flight mission of the UAV.
