During the moving process, the baffle 75 provided on the left side of the upper end of the lowermost parking box body 8 will touch the baffle 75 provided on the right side of the lower end of the middle parking box body 8, and then drive the middle parking box body 8 to move to the right together until the baffle 75 provided on the left side of the upper end of the middle parking box body 8 is blocked by the baffle 75 provided on the right side of the lower end of the uppermost baffle 75; at this time, the three parking box bodies 8 are unfolded in a stepped shape from top to bottom; Subsequently, the drone can land on the rotating disk 96 at the inner bottom of the parking box body 8; the rotation of the rotating disk 96 drives the drone to rotate, and during the rotation process, the network camera 11 will observe the outer surface of the drone; If damage or abnormality is found, information will be remotely sent to the user to facilitate the user to repair the drone in a timely manner; If there is no abnormality in the appearance of the drone, the rotating disk 96 drives the drone to rotate so that the charging port of the drone faces to the left; subsequently, the motors 91 of the horizontal lateral limiting assembly and the horizontal vertical moving assembly work to control the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 92. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 92 of the horizontal lateral limiting assembly causes the sliding blocks 94 on the left and right sides to drive the limiting rods 95 to move inward along the first moving groove 93 at the same time, and the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 92 of the horizontal vertical moving assembly causes the sliding blocks 94 on the front and back sides to drive the limiting rods 95 to move inward along the second moving groove 97 at the same time; If the drone is offset to the left or right in the horizontal direction when docking on the rotating disk 96, the limiting rod 95 on the left or right side of the horizontal lateral limiting assembly will first touch the lower end of the drone during the moving process and push the drone towards the center position of the rotating disk 96; Similarly, if the drone is offset forward or backward in the horizontal direction when docking on the rotating disk 96, the limiting rod 95 of the horizontal vertical limiting assembly will push the drone towards the center position of the rotating disk 96; Until the limiting rods 95 of the horizontal lateral limiting assembly and the horizontal vertical moving assembly simultaneously contact and abut against the lower end of the drone, at this time the position of the drone is at the center position of the rotating disk 96; Subsequently, the double-axis cylinder 102 works to push the movable rod 103 and the charging plug 104 to move horizontally until the charging plug 104 is inserted into the charging port provided on the left side of the drone.

[0024] Embodiment 3: In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 - 9 , as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for using a pole-type drone nest with a detection function includes the following steps: Step 1: The bidirectional synchronous drive component 21 works to drive the two clamping blocks 22 to move towards each other simultaneously until the inner ends of the two clamping blocks 22 are tightly attached to the outer end of the pole tower and fixed; after the installation is completed, if the horizontal inclination sensor provided on the mounting frame 4 detects that the mounting frame 4 is in an inclined state, the hydraulic push cylinder 31 will push the support frame 32 to rotate and drive the mounting frame 4 to fine-tune until the mounting frame 4 is in a horizontal state; Step 2: When multiple drones need to stop due to low battery power, the rotary cylinder works to drive the movable semi-cylindrical box body 6 to rotate below the fixed semi-cylindrical box body 5, so that the uppermost stop box body 8 in the fixed semi-cylindrical box body 5 is exposed; The movable semi-cylindrical box body 6 is turned over and opened, and then the push cylinder 712 works to pull the lower end of the inner scissor arm 73 in the leftmost group to move upward along the chute 74 provided on the fixed plate 711. Since the upper ends of the outer scissor arm 72 and the inner scissor arm 73 in each group of scissor assemblies are fixed in height, when the lower end of the inner scissor arm 73 moves upward at this time, it will rotate synchronously with the outer scissor arm 72, so that the lower end of the outer scissor arm 72 and the upper end of the inner scissor arm 73 move to the right, driving the adjacent outer scissor arm 72 and inner scissor arm 73 to rotate and move, and the outer scissor arm 72 in the rightmost group will slide upward along the chute 74 provided at the left end of the lowermost stop box body 8, and the lowermost stop box body 8 moves horizontally to the right along the guide rod following the fixed semi-cylindrical box body 5; and the guide rod will provide a supporting effect on the lowermost stop box body 8; during the movement, the distance between the lowermost stop box body 8 and the fixed plate 711 gradually increases; and during the movement, the baffle 75 provided on the left side of the upper end of the lowermost stop box body 8 will touch the baffle 75 provided on the right side of the lower end of the middle stop box body 8, and will drive the middle stop box body 8 to move to the right together until the baffle 75 provided on the left side of the upper end of the middle stop box body 8 is blocked by the baffle 75 provided on the right side of the lower end of the uppermost baffle 75; at this time, the three stop box bodies 8 are unfolded in a stepped shape from top to bottom; Step 3: Subsequently, the drone can land on the rotating disk 96 at the inner bottom of the stop box body 8; the rotating disk 96 rotates to drive the drone to rotate, and during the rotation, the network camera 11 will observe the outer surface of the drone; If damage or abnormality is found, information will be remotely sent to the user to facilitate the user to repair the drone in a timely manner; If there is no abnormality in the appearance of the drone, the rotating disk 96 drives the drone to rotate so that the charging port of the drone faces to the left; then the motors 91 of the horizontal lateral limiting component and the horizontal vertical moving component work to control the bidirectional lead screw 92 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 92 of the horizontal lateral limiting component causes the sliding blocks 94 on the left and right sides to drive the limiting rods 95 to move inward along the first moving groove 93 at the same time, and the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 92 of the horizontal vertical moving component causes the sliding blocks 94 on the front and back sides to drive the limiting rods 95 to move inward along the second moving groove 97 at the same time; When the drone docks on the rotating disc 96 and is offset left or right in the horizontal direction, during the movement of the limiting rod 95 on the left or right side of the horizontal lateral limiting assembly, it will first touch the lower end of the drone and push the drone towards the center position of the rotating disc 96; Similarly, when the drone docks on the rotating disc 96 and is offset forward or backward in the horizontal direction, the limiting rod 95 of the horizontal vertical limiting assembly will push the drone towards the center position of the rotating disc 96; Until the limiting rods 95 of the horizontal lateral limiting assembly and the horizontal vertical moving assembly are in contact with and abut against the lower end of the drone at the same time, at this time the position where the drone is located is at the center position of the rotating disc 96; Subsequently, the double-axis cylinder 102 operates to push the movable rod 103 and the charging plug 104 to move horizontally until the charging plug 104 is inserted into the charging port provided on the left side of the drone.
