[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a drone loading device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a UAV loading device, wherein the device includes a fixed bracket 1, a transmission unit 2 and a pushing unit 3, wherein the transmission unit 2 is arranged on the fixed bracket 1, and is used to transmit the UAV 4 to the barrel position, and the pushing unit 3 is used to push the UAV 4 to the launching position, and the transmission unit 2 includes a transmission drive module 21, a tension wheel 22 and a conveyor belt 23, and the conveyor belt 23 cooperates with the tension wheel 22 under the driving force of the transmission drive module 21 to realize transmission, so as to transmit the UAV 4 to the barrel position, and the pushing unit 3 is used to push the UAV 4 to the launching position. The delivery unit 3 includes a slide 31, a pushing drive module 32, a drive module bracket 33, a pushing support 34 and a gear rack. The gear rack is arranged between the slide 31 and the pushing support 34, the pushing drive module 32 and the drive module bracket 33 are arranged on the pushing support 34, and the drive module bracket 33 moves along the slide 31 under the action of the driving force of the pushing drive module 32 (the relative movement between the drive module bracket and the slide is realized by the driving force) to push the drone 4 to the launch position (the pushing support pushes the drone to move to the launch position).

[0026] That is, after receiving the transmission instruction, the transmission drive module can drive the conveyor belt to transmit the drone to the front of the barrel. After receiving the transmission instruction, the push drive module can push the drone into the barrel, thereby moving the drone from the storage position to the launch position and completing the launch preparation.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, the UAV can be first transported to the barrel position by a transmission unit in a transmission movement direction, and then pushed to the launch position, i.e., the barrel, by a pushing unit in another pushing movement direction, thereby achieving reliable transmission of the UAV and rapid loading and launching.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the fixing bracket 1 may be a multi-layer structure, and the conveying unit 2 and the pushing unit 3 are arranged correspondingly on each layer.

[0029] For example, a conveying unit and a pushing unit are arranged on a layer structure.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, an adapter 24 is provided on the conveyor belt 23 , and the adapter 24 cooperates with a slider 41 on the surface of the drone 4 to fix the drone 4 .

[0031] For example, a slide groove may be provided on the adapter, and the UAV may be fixed by cooperating with the slide groove and the slider.

[0032] In this way, the drone can be fixed during the transmission process to ensure stability during transportation.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, limiting units (eg, mechanical limiting mechanisms) are provided at both ends of the slideway 31 .

[0034] By setting the limit unit, the drone position can be accurately pushed.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, installation edges are reserved on both sides of the slideway 31 for fixing to the fixing bracket 1 or the transport vehicle by punching or mechanical clamping.

[0036] Thereby, the installation and fixation of the pushing unit 3 can be facilitated.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of mounting seats are arranged at the bottom and around the fixing bracket 1 for mounting the fixing bracket 1 on a launching vehicle or on the ground.

[0038] The specific installation location can be determined according to actual needs, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the transmission driving module 21 includes a driving body 211 , a transmission shaft 212 and a bearing seat 213 .

[0040] Specifically, the driving body is arranged on a transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft passes through a bearing seat.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the driving body is a stepping motor.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the conveyor belt 23 is a chain.

[0043] For example, the adapter 24 may be provided at a link of a chain.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pushing drive module 32 is a stepping motor.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0046] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0047] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
