DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The present invention provides a drone parking clamping sensing mechanism based on a machine nest, comprising:

[0030] A support platform 5, a box body 1 is installed on the rear side of the top of the support platform 5, a bidirectional screw rod 2 is provided in the inner cavity of the box body 1, a motor 3 is installed on one side of the box body 1, the output end of the motor 3 is connected to the bidirectional screw rod 2, both sides of the bidirectional screw rod 2 are threadedly sleeved with moving blocks 4, a first clamping plate 6 is installed on the front side of the moving block 4, and a sensor is provided at the center of the top of the support platform 5;

[0031] Front and rear clamping components 7 are arranged on the first clamping plate 6. The front and rear clamping components 7 include a movable groove 701, a slider 702, a ball 703, a ring 704 and a second clamping plate 705. A movable groove 701 is opened on the top of the support platform 5. A ring 704 is movably sleeved on the outer side of one of the first clamping plates 6. The second clamping plate 705 is installed at the bottom of the ring 704. A slider 702 located in the inner cavity of the movable groove 701 is installed on one side of the bottom of the second clamping plate 705. The ball 703 is rotatably sleeved on the bottom of the slider 702.

[0032] In this embodiment, an auxiliary support assembly 8 is provided on the first splint 6, and the auxiliary support assembly 8 includes a circular hole 801. Circular holes 801 are opened on both sides of the first splint 6. The inner cavity of the circular hole 801 is movably sleeved with a guide rod 802, and the outer side of the guide rod 802 is fixedly sleeved with a push plate 803 located in the inner cavity of the first splint 6. An air bag 805 located on one side of the push plate 803 is installed on one side of the inner cavity of the first splint 6. The upper part of one side of the push plate 803 is connected to one side of the inner cavity of the first splint 6 by means of a first buffer assembly 804. An air pipe 806 connected to the air bag 805 is fixedly sleeved on one side of the first splint 6, and a moving rod 807 is movably sleeved on one end of the air pipe 806. A mounting plate 809 is installed on one side of the inner cavity of the air pipe 806. A second buffer assembly 810 is installed on one side of the inner cavity of the moving rod 807. One end of the second buffer assembly 810 is connected to one side of the mounting plate 809, and one end of the moving rod 807 is connected to a rubber ball 808. The first clamping plate 6 is provided with an airbag 805, a push plate 803, an airbag 805, an air tube 806, a moving rod 807 and a rubber ball 808. When the first clamping plate 6 clamps the drone, the guide rod 802 is pushed into the inside of the first clamping plate 6, driving the push plate 803 to move to squeeze the airbag 805, squeezing the gas in the airbag 805 into the air tube 806, driving the moving rod 807 to move, so that the rubber ball 808 contacts the upper part of the drone, supports the drone, and improves the stability of the drone in the drone nest.

[0033] In this embodiment, the auxiliary support assembly 8 further includes a contact plate 811, and one end of the guide rod 802 is connected to the contact plate 811. By providing the contact plate 811 at one end of the guide rod 802, the contact area with the drone is increased, and the clamping effect is improved.

[0034] In this embodiment, the guide rod 802 is located between the first buffer assembly 804 and the airbag 805, and the first clamping plate 6 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed circular holes 801, the guide rod 802 and the push plate 803. The push plate 803 of the first buffer assembly 804 contacts one side of the airbag 805 in a free state. The air pipe 806 is in a U-shape as a whole, and the upper part of the air pipe 806 is inclined upward. The shape characteristics of the air pipe 806 facilitate the contact between the rubber ball 808 and the drone.

[0035] There are two groups of front and rear clamping assemblies 7, which are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of one of the first clamping plates 6. The moving groove 701 is inclined from the front corner of the support platform 5 toward the center of the support platform 5. The moving groove 701 is inclined from the front corner of the support platform 5 toward the center of the support platform 5, so that the front and rear positions of the second clamping plate 705 can be changed when the first clamping plate 6 moves left and right, which is convenient for limiting the front and rear sides of the drone.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second buffer assembly 810 and the first buffer assembly 804 are both composed of springs and dampers. By the second buffer assembly 810 and the first buffer assembly 804 being composed of springs and dampers, the vibration generated when the drone contacts the first clamping plate 6 is reduced, and the service life of the first clamping plate 6 is increased.

[0037] Working principle: When using this device, when the sensor on the support platform 5 detects that the drone has fallen on the top of the support platform 5, the control motor 3 starts to run, driving the bidirectional screw 2 to rotate, thereby driving the two first clamping plates 6 to move toward the center of the support platform 5, and utilizing the slider 702 and the rolling ball 703 at the bottom of the front and rear clamping components 7 to control the two second clamping plates 705 to move toward the center of the support platform 5, clamping the drone between the two first clamping plates 6 and the two second clamping plates 705. At this time, the contact plate 811 on the first clamping plate 6 contacts the drone, pushing the guide rod 802 to move, driving the push plate 803 to move and squeeze the airbag 805, and transporting the gas in the airbag 805 to the trachea 806, so that the moving rod 807 and the rubber ball 808 move toward the direction of the drone, thereby fixing the upper part of the drone.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
