Retractable legs are arranged at the four corners to provide additional stability support to ensure that it will not tilt during use.

[0032] Furthermore, the storage assembly 301 includes a storage box 301a, a retractable slide rail 301b disposed inside the storage box 301a, and a helipad body 100 disposed inside the retractable slide rail 301b. The storage box 301a is equipped with a retractable guide rail, allowing the helipad to be smoothly pushed out or retracted through the guide rail, thereby optimizing the use efficiency of the drone.

[0033] Furthermore, the flip cover assembly 302 includes a cover plate 302a provided at one end of the storage box 301a, a groove 302b provided at one end of the support plate 201a, and a telescopic rod 302c provided on one side of the storage box 301a; wherein, one end of the cover plate 302a is rotatably provided in the groove 302b, one end of the telescopic rod 302c is rotatably connected to the storage box 301a, and the other end of the telescopic rod 302c is fixedly connected to the cover plate 302a, and the functional design includes a tailgate of the box that automatically opens and closes at the rear, thereby simplifying the operation process of the apron.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Reference Figure 1-3 This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a fill light 101 is provided at one end of the storage box 301a close to the apron.

[0036] Specifically, the fill light 101 is a high-brightness LED light.

[0037] A high-brightness LED light is set at the tail to ensure the visibility of the drone landing pad in low-light environments and improve the safety of operators.

[0038] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 1.

The environment monitoring module 401 is integrated at the top of the apron. When the wind speed is detected to be above level 5, the system will automatically issue an alarm through the warning module 402.

[0041] Specifically, the environmental monitoring module 401 includes a wind monitoring device 401a disposed at the top center of the storage box 301a, and a rain monitoring device 401b disposed on one side of the top of the storage box 301a. The integrated wind speed and rain monitoring device 401b can monitor environmental changes in real time and give timely alarms, thereby ensuring the flight safety of the drone.

[0042] Furthermore, the warning module 402 includes an audible and visual alarm device 402a arranged around the top of the storage box 301a, and a warning sign 402b arranged on the outside of the storage box 301a. The audible and visual alarm device 402a uses a high-decibel device to better remind the staff, thereby providing protection and safeguard.

[0043] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 2.
