[0037] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows:

[0038] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows:

[0039] First, the cluster cylinder 1 is transported to a predetermined aerial position. Before launching, the drone monomer 13 in the cluster cylinder 1 is in a standby state, the piston 3 is located at the initial position of the cluster cylinder 1, and the reel 10 is driven by the motor 11 and is in a ready-to-start state.

[0040] When it is necessary to launch the drone unit 13, start the motor 11, which drives the reel 10 to rotate clockwise, and the pull rope 12 is loosened and released. The piston 3 moves downward under the action of gravity, and the connecting rod 5 and the vertical plate 6 move downward accordingly. The carrier plate 7 slides out of the cluster cylinder 1 in sequence under the action of the connecting rod 5, and the drone unit 13 is exposed to the outside for takeoff.

[0041] As the piston 3 descends, the drone monomer 13 on each carrier plate 7 is released in turn, the legs 15 of the drone monomer 13 are separated from the circular groove 16 on the carrier plate, the wings of the drone monomer 13 are unfolded, the camera 14 is started, the drone system starts working, and the drone monomer 13 performs the predetermined task by autonomous flight or remote control.

[0042] After the mission is completed, the drone monomer 13 returns to the launch point on the original carrier plate 7 according to the preset recovery procedure. At this time, the motor 11 reverses, the reel 10 rotates counterclockwise, the pull rope 12 is retracted, the piston 3 moves upward under the action of the tension, and the carrier plate 7 moves upward accordingly, and the drone monomers 13 are successively recovered into the cluster cylinder 1.

[0043] The position sensor assists the recovery of the UAV unit 13, the drive system controls the operation of the motor 11, the UAV system controls the flight of the UAV unit 13, and the cluster terminal centrally controls the entire launch and recovery process to ensure that the UAV unit can be accurately launched and recovered.

[0044] Through the above process, the technical solution of the present invention can effectively and quickly deploy drones in a specific environment to perform tasks such as reconnaissance, surveillance, and data collection, and can also achieve rapid recovery of drones, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of drone use.
