Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle hangar equipment, and in particular, relates to a unmanned aerial vehicle storage structure and unmanned aerial vehicle hangar equipment. Background Art

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as "drones", are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and program control devices, or operated completely or intermittently autonomously by on-board computers. Drones can be divided into military and civilian applications according to their application areas. In the military, drones are divided into reconnaissance aircraft and target aircraft. In the civilian application, drones are used in conjunction with industry applications, which is a real demand for drones. At present, 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, and romance creation have greatly expanded the use of drones themselves. Developed countries are also actively expanding industry applications and developing drone technology. Considering the endurance and charging issues of drones during use, drone hangars are usually equipped. Most of the existing drone hangars are single-machine hangars, which can only be used for charging and storage of one drone. The charging time of a drone is relatively long, and it is not suitable for occasions of continuous and uninterrupted operation. In addition, a drone stored in a single hangar can only perform one operation at a time. When multiple drones are needed to operate at the same time, a single hangar cannot meet the above requirements. With the widespread application of drones in various industries, people's demand for drones is increasing. Although drones can replace some human labor to a certain extent, drones need to be shut down for wireless charging after flying for a period of time.

[0003] At present, most of the automatic parking lots and hangars for drones on the market basically park drones in a one-to-one manner, that is, one parking lot or hangar parks one drone, resulting in low space utilization of the parking lot or hangar, and the drone takes off and lands vertically, and the hangar cannot be designed as a multi-layer structure, which causes the hangar to occupy a large landing space, and the existing drones are basically four-wing propeller type, which needs to maintain a certain inclination when moving forward. When the drone takes off, it is necessary to first lift the drone off the ground and then perform a horizontal movement, which reduces the efficiency of the drone launch; for this reason, the inventors have proposed a design that can provide multiple drones with take-off and landing, and has a multi-layer structure, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical defects.

[0018] In this setting, the present invention integrates the traditional single helipad hangar by adopting a design of providing multiple drone helipads in a single drone warehouse, thereby making up for the problem that multiple helipad hangars occupy a large area of ​​space. At the same time, by adopting an upper and lower multi-layer overlapping design, the storage space occupied by the drone 4 helipad hangar is further reduced, and the helipad adopts a tilted design after unfolding to provide the required tilt angle for the drone 4 when launching, thereby improving the launch efficiency of the drone 4.

[0022] In this setting, the motor 17 is started by an external remote control device. The motor 17 drives the power pulley 18 to rotate through the transmission shaft, causing the bottom apron to move outward, and pushes the opening and closing door panel 3 open through the thrust to make it in a horizontal state.

[0026] In this arrangement, the power pulley 18 drives the bottom apron to move outward and along the pulley track 9, while the slider 15 slides outward in the slide groove 8 to unfold the bottom and middle aprons.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a pull rod slide rail 14 is provided at the inner center of the opening and closing door panel, and the pull rod slide rail 14 corresponds to the other end of the sliding pull rod 10 and is slidably engaged therewith.

[0028] In this configuration, the pull rod slide rail 14 provides a movable sliding slot for the sliding pull rod 10. When the bottom apron is close to being folded, the sliding pull rod 10 will pull the opening and closing door panel 3 to close it.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the rear end of the topmost apron side panel 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the hangar body 1, the side panels 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the hangar body 1, and the lower end of the hangar body 1 is movably connected to the lower end of the opening and closing door panel 3, and the opening and closing door panel 3 corresponds to the opening of the hangar body 1 and is buckled therewith.

[0030] In this setting, when using this device, you must first select a flat ground, and then use an external remote control device to start the motor 17. The motor 17 drives the power pulley 18 to rotate through the transmission shaft, causing the bottom apron to move outward, and pushes the opening and closing door panel 3 open through the thrust; when the bottom apron is close to being folded, the sliding rod 10 will pull the opening and closing door panel 3 to close it, and the hangar is folded and stored.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a drone hangar equipment includes the drone storage structure described in any one of the above items.

[0032] In this configuration, by adopting a multi-layer overlapping design, the storage space occupied by the UAV 4 helipad hangar is further reduced, and the helipad is designed to tilt after unfolding to provide the required tilt angle for the UAV 4 when launching, thereby improving the launch efficiency of the UAV 4.

[0033] The implementation principle of a drone storage structure and drone hangar equipment of this embodiment is as follows: The present invention integrates the traditional single helipad hangar by adopting a design of providing multiple helipads for drones in a single drone warehouse, making up for the problem that multiple helipad hangars occupy a large area of ​​space. At the same time, by adopting a multi-layer overlapping design, the storage space occupied by the helipad hangar of the drone 4 is further reduced. The helipad adopts a tilting design after unfolding to provide the required tilt angle for the drone 4 when launching, thereby improving the launch efficiency of the drone 4. When using this device, first select a flat ground, then use the external remote control device to start the motor 17, the motor 17 drives the power pulley 18 to rotate through the transmission shaft, causing the bottom apron to move outward, and pushes the opening and closing door panel 3 open through the thrust to make it in a horizontal state, at this time the power pulley 18 continues to drive the bottom apron to move outward, the slider 15 slides outward in the slide groove 8, and the bottom and middle aprons are unfolded; at the same time, the upper horizontal plate 24 on the inner side of the upper end of the apron side panel 5 pushes the tension spring sleeve 20 to move outward through the sleeve support frame 21, and pushes the apron 7 to slide outward through the tension spring sleeve 20, and the slide bars 13 on both sides of the apron 7 slide along the horizontal sliding hole 11, when the rear end slide bar 13 When reaching the lower end of the inclined sliding hole 12, the apron 7 will tilt due to the imbalance of gravity, and the sliding rod 13 at the rear end will enter the inclined sliding hole 12 and limit the tilt angle of the apron 7; at this time, the UAV 4 parked on the apron 7 is in a state of waiting for launch at a certain tilt angle, and this state will not affect the take-off and landing of the UAVs on the upper or lower floors; when the hangar and the UAV 4 inside need to be folded and stored, it is only necessary to start the motor 17 to reverse and retract the bottom apron to reset. At this time, the apron 7 slides back under the pulling force of the tension spring 23 until it is in a horizontal state. When the bottom apron is close to being folded, the opening and closing door panel 3 will be pulled closed by the sliding rod 10, and the folding and storage of the hangar is now completed.
