Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drone nest equipment, and in particular to an external protective structure based on a drone nest. Background Art

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and self-contained program control devices, or operated completely or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer.

[0003] Drones can be divided into military and civilian applications according to their application areas. In the military, drones are divided into reconnaissance drones and target drones. In the civilian application, drones + industry applications are the real rigid demand for drones; their applications in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspections, disaster relief, film and television shooting, creating romance, etc. have greatly expanded the uses of drones themselves;

[0004] The drone nest is a platform or "safety hut" that enables the automatic take-off and landing of drones. It can also automatically charge and replace batteries for drones. However, the drone nest needs to be on a flat ground to ensure the smooth landing, take-off and battery replacement of the drone. In order to adapt to different venues, a device that can adjust the horizontal position of the drone nest is needed;

[0005] However, the current drone nests have different ways of opening their covers. Some have flip covers on both sides, and some have horizontal opening covers. Both of these opening methods require the operation of motors or cylinders. Each method has its own advantages, but when opening the cover, it is easy for dust to enter the side parts, especially when working outdoors. If there is strong wind or rain, dust will enter the interior along the side of the nest structure and affect the overall operation of the nest. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present application aims to solve the technical problem that dust easily enters the side parts when the cover is opened, especially when working outdoors.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4, is a schematic diagram of the structure of the external protection structure of the drone nest in one embodiment of the present application;

[0029] An external protection structure based on a drone nest, wherein the external protection structure 3 of the nest is arranged on the outside of the nest and is located at a position on the outside for opening the cover, and the protection structure 3 includes an outer fixed plate 9, an inner movable plate 8, an inner slide plate, a rack 6, a motor 4 and a rotating wheel 5;

[0030] The outer fixed plate 9 is fixed to the integral bracket 2 of the machine nest, the inner movable plate 8 is fixed to the rack 6, one end of the inner movable plate 8 is connected to the inner slide plate, the output end of the motor 4 is connected to the rotating wheel 5, and the rotating wheel 5 is connected to the rack 6;

[0031] The rotating wheel 5 drives the rack 6 and the corresponding inner movable plate 8 to perform lateral extension or retraction movement through the inner sliding plate following and the outer fixed plate 9 limiting.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inner slide plate includes a first slide plate 10, a second slide plate 11 and a third slide plate 12. The first slide plate 10 is fixed to the inner movable plate 8, the second slide plate 11 is limitedly engaged with the end of the first slide plate 10, and the third slide plate 12 is limitedly engaged with the end of the second slide plate 11.

[0033] The first slide plate 10 , the second slide plate 11 and the third slide plate 12 are in an irregular concave-convex structure and fit with each other.

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer fixing plate 9 is in a C-shaped structure, and the notch is located toward the center of the machine nest.

[0035] Specifically, when the UAV takes off or lands in the nest, it is necessary to open the top cover of the nest to expose the platform for the UAV to fly out of the outside world. When opening the top cover of the nest, first, the motor 4 will output to drive the rotating wheel 5 to start rotating. When the rotating wheel 5 rotates, it drives the rack 6 to move laterally with the rotating wheel 5. At this time, because one end of the rack 6 is connected to the inner movable plate 8, the movement of the rack 6 drives the inner movable plate 8 to move. Therefore, the inner movable plate 8 and the rack 6 extend in the same direction. During the extension process, the inner movable plate 8 is connected to the cover, so that the cover is also opened gradually with the inner movable plate 8. At this stage, because the inner The movable plate 8 is movable, and the outer fixed plate 9 is fixed to the machine nest, so that the outer fixed plate 9 acts as a guide rail. When the inner movable plate 8 and the outer fixed plate 9 move relative to each other, through the action of the first slide plate 10, the second slide plate 11 and the third slide plate 12, the inner movable plate 8 can be gradually stretched out to improve the coordination between the inner movable plate 8 and the outer fixed plate 9. Similarly, when it is necessary to close the top cover of the machine nest, the motor 4 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the inner movable plate 8 moves in the opposite direction with the rack 6, driving the third slide plate 12, the second slide plate 11 and the first slide plate 10 to gradually return to their positions, thereby achieving the effect of closing the machine cover.

[0036] The notch position of the outer fixed plate 9 is also provided with a brush 13. Specifically, the brush 13 can repeatedly scrape at the connection between the inner movable plate 8 and the outer fixed plate 9 to clean the bottom of the accumulation.

[0037] The protective structures 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the machine nest, and the rotating wheels 5 are connected to each other through a rotating shaft 7.

[0038] The outer fixing plate 9 and the inner sliding plate are sealed.

[0039] The inner moving plate is also arranged in a C-shaped structure, and the inner moving plate is matched with the outer fixed plate 9, and the overall space is relatively closed. Specifically, the irregular concave-convex structure of the first slide plate 10, the second slide plate 11 and the third slide plate 12 can greatly save the distance between the outer fixed plate 9 and the inner movable plate 8, instead of the stacking method of other track structures, and the connection shape between the outer fixed plate 9 and the inner movable plate 8 also plays a role in preventing wind, dust and water.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present application 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 application, and that the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
