[0024] A water storage tank 200 is placed at the top of the outer wall of the base 100, and a battery placement plate 220 is arranged at the top of the outer wall of the water storage tank 200. A rechargeable drone battery is placed on the battery placement plate 220, and a charger can be arranged at the top of the outer wall of the battery placement plate 220, which can charge the drone battery. A support component is arranged at the top of the outer wall of the water storage tank 200 and at both ends of the battery placement plate 220. The support component includes a support plate 210. The two support plates 210 are fixed on both sides of the top of the outer wall of the water storage tank 200. The support plate 210 is close to the battery placement plate 220. The front and rear ends of the outer wall of one side are fixed with hinge seats 231, and one end of the hinge seat 231 close to the battery placement plate 220 is hinged with a support short block 230. The support short block 230 is arranged to support the bottom end of the battery placement plate 220 when it is kept in a horizontal state. The bottom ends of the outer wall of the battery placement plate 220 are overlapped on the top ends of the outer walls of the support short block 230. The support short block 230 is connected to the hinge end of the hinge seat 231 through a rotating shaft 232. The support short block 230 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 232, and the rotating shaft 232 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 231. This arrangement is for In order to make the rotating shaft 232 drive the supporting short block 230 to rotate when rotating, and when the supporting short block 230 is set downward, the battery placement plate 220 can slide off the supporting short block 230 and fall into the water storage tank 200, a pull rod 233 is fixed at the center of the outer wall side end of the rotating shaft 232, and a micro winch 240 is provided at the upper end of the outer wall on the opposite side of the two supporting plates 210. The bottom end of the outer wall of the micro winch 240 is fixedly connected to the outer wall side end of the supporting plate 210 through a pad, and a pull rope 241 is wound around the micro winch 240. A fixed pulley 250 is provided at the outer wall on the opposite side and at the position corresponding to the micro winch 240. The end of the pull rope 241 away from the micro winch 240 is passed around the fixed pulley 250 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pull rod 233. Specifically, the micro winch 240 can reel in or release the pull rope 241 after being powered on. The fixed pulley 250 is provided to turn the direction of the pull rope 241, so that the pull rope 241 can pull the pull rod 233 when reeling in or releasing, so that the rotating shaft 232 can rotate, so that the supporting short block 230 can swing;

[0025] A monitoring component for monitoring the drone battery is arranged at the front end of the outer wall of the side panel 110 and above the water storage tank 200. The monitoring component includes a high-temperature flame sensor 300 and a remote monitor 310. The high-temperature flame sensor 300 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the outer wall of the side panel 110 and located above each drone battery. The high-temperature flame sensor 300 is a flame sensor and a temperature sensor, which can monitor the status of the drone battery during the drone battery charging process. The temperature of the battery will rise rapidly in the early stage of fire, and a fire condition will be emitted. The high-temperature flame sensor 300 can timely determine the fire status of the drone battery, so that the processor can place the battery placement plate 220 into the water storage tank 200 and use water to extinguish the drone battery. The remote monitor 310 is installed at the upper right corner of the front end of the outer wall of the side panel 110. The monitoring angle of the remote monitor 310 is set in the direction of the battery placement plate 220. The remote monitor 310 is set to enable personnel to remotely monitor the charging status of the drone battery, so that personnel can obtain the charging status of the drone battery in time.

[0026] The use process of the present invention is as follows: first, personnel can install the device according to the above instructions, and then control the micro winch 240 to rotate through the processor, so that the micro winch 240 can reel in the pull rope 241, and the micro winch 240 can pull the pull rod 233 when reeling in the pull rope 241 so that the rotating shaft 232 and the supporting short block 230 are flipped upward to maintain a horizontal state, and then personnel can overlap the battery placement plate 220 on the supporting short block 230, and then place the charging device on the battery placement plate 220, and then the drone battery can be installed on the charger for charging, and during the charging process, the high-temperature flame sensor 300 can detect the charged drone battery in real time, and the remote monitor 310 can enable personnel to remotely view the charging status of the drone battery;

[0027] When a drone battery catches fire during charging, the high-temperature flame sensor 300 will first detect the abnormal heating and fire of the drone battery, and transmit the data to the processor through the data cable. After receiving the data, the processor will first cut off the power supply of the inflator to stop charging the battery, and then energize the winch to release the pull rope 241. Under the action of gravity, the battery placement plate 220 will press the supporting short block 230 to rotate downward, and the battery placement plate 220 will fall into the water storage tank 200, and the water in the water storage tank 200 will be heated in advance. The stored water can extinguish the fire of the battery. At the same time, the processor will open the solenoid valves on the water inlet pipe 410 and the water outlet pipe 420, and then start the water pump connected to the water inlet pipe 410, so that the water pump can transport the water in the left water tank 400 to the water tank 200 through the water inlet pipe 410, and the water in the water tank 200 is discharged into the right water tank 400 through the water outlet pipe 420. This can ensure that the water in the water tank 200 can circulate and keep the water in the water tank 200 at a low temperature, ensuring that the battery burns normally until it is extinguished, avoiding greater losses.
