Description
Technical Field

[0002] A drone storage and transportation box is a device for parking drones, facilitating outdoor storage, transportation, and protection of drones.
[0003] Existing drone storage and transportation boxes mostly use foam boxes, and the drones need to be disassembled multiple times for storage. The storage method is to dig a model storage space in the foam box that is consistent with the shape of the stored drone, and then place the disassembled drone parts that are consistent with the model storage space into the dug model storage space. When storing multiple different models of drones, multiple storage and transportation boxes matching the drone models are required. Since multiple storage and transportation boxes are needed for multiple different models of drones, and multiple disassembly and assembly operations are required before and after storage, the storage and transportation efficiency of drones is low, and they are not easy to take. After multiple retrievals, the gap between the model storage space of the foam box and the drone will increase, making the storage of the drone unstable, reducing safety and stability. During long-term use, problems such as wear of the drone during storage and transportation are likely to occur. If the storage and transportation box is replaced, additional costs will be incurred.

[0022] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in the embodiments of the present invention, the box body 1 includes: a box cover 2, two semi-box cover automatic opening and closing control units 14, and two deflection rocker arms 15, where: The box cover 2 is set as a split structure, including two semi-box covers 13 with symmetrical structures. The two semi-box covers 13 can be spliced and combined into the box cover 2 to partially or completely cover or enclose the box body 1; the two semi-box cover automatic opening and closing control units 14 are connected to the control device, and the two semi-box cover automatic opening and closing control units 14 are respectively fixedly arranged inside the box body 1, at the bottom of the side surface of the box body 1 in the opening and closing direction of the two semi-box covers 13; the two deflection rocker arms 15 are respectively arranged inside the box body 1, one ends of the two deflection rocker arms 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the two semi-box cover automatic opening and closing control units 14, and the other ends of the two deflection rocker arms 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the two semi-box covers 13; the two semi-box cover automatic opening and closing control units 14 can respectively control the rotation of the two deflection rocker arms 15 to drive the two semi-box covers 13 to close or open.
[0023] When automatically opening and closing the box body 1, after the two semi-box cover automatic opening and closing control units 14 receive the opening and closing signal from the control device, the two semi-box cover automatic opening and closing control units 14 work and drive the two deflection rocker arms 15 to deflect towards the two sides or the center of the box body 1, thereby driving the two semi-box covers 13 to open or close, realizing the automatic opening and closing of the box body 1.
[0024] In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, the semi-box cover automatic opening and closing control unit 14 includes a servo motor.
[0025] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2In the embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism includes: a lifting platform 3 and a cylinder 4, wherein: The lifting platform 3 is arranged inside the box body 1, and the size of the lifting platform 3 is matched with the internal space of the box body 1. A preset path channel 12 is set on the lifting platform 3, so that the deployment unit can deploy the arm of the multi-rotor drone 11 through the preset path channel 12; the cylinder 4 is arranged at the bottom of the lifting platform 3, the top of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting platform 3, and the bottom surface of the cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the box body 1. The cylinder 4 is connected to the control device so that the telescopic rod of the cylinder 4 can be controlled by the control device to extend and retract, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the lifting platform 3.
[0026] In order to make the lifting platform 3 rise and fall more smoothly while being able to withstand multi-rotor drones 11 of different weights, thereby meeting the use requirements of multi-rotor drones 11 of different models, the above-mentioned cylinder 4 is set to multiple, and the multiple cylinders 4 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the lifting platform 3.
[0027] As an example, four cylinders 4 are provided, and the four cylinders 4 are evenly arranged at four corners of the lifting platform 3 .
[0028] It can be understood that the cylinder 4 and its number in the above-mentioned lifting mechanism are merely exemplary illustrations, and the cylinder 4 can also be replaced by other devices as long as they can achieve the same lifting function as the cylinder 4, such as electric telescopic rods, linear servos, electric push rods and pneumatic telescopic rods.
[0029] Further, see Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing unit includes: a limiting member 5 and a fixing member 6, wherein: The limit members 5 are relatively arranged at the two ends of the lifting platform 3, the limit members 5 are connected to the control device, the limit members 5 include a telescopic structure, and the telescopic ends of the limit members 5 are both facing the geometric center of the lifting platform 3; the fixing members 6 are arranged at the ends of the telescopic ends of the limit members 5, and are used to fix the nose and tail of the multi-rotor UAV 11 placed on the lifting platform 3.
[0030] In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the limiting member 5 includes one of a limiting servo, a micro linear servo drive or a micro electric push rod, and the fixing member 6 includes one of a slot, a claw or a buckle.
[0031] As an example, the limiting member 5 is set as a limiting servo, preferably a linear servo. The linear servo is arranged at both ends of the lifting platform 3, and the telescopic ends of the linear servo are all oriented towards the geometric center of the lifting platform 3. The fixing member 6 is set as a concave-shaped claw, so that when the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11 is set on the lifting platform 3, the linear servo can be extended under the control of the control device, so that the concave-shaped claw can hold the nose and tail of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11, thereby fixing the entire multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11. By adopting the above fixing method, it is possible to adapt to the fixing, storage and transportation of unmanned aerial vehicles of different models, and improve the applicable range of the storage and transportation box of the embodiment of the present invention.
[0032] In order to avoid damaging the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11 during storage and transportation, an anti-loosening pad is provided on the fixing member 6. On the one hand, it can reduce the wear between the fixing member and the unmanned aerial vehicle, and on the other hand, it can play a role in anti-slip.
[0033] It can be understood that the size and specifications of the fixing member 6 can be adjusted according to the size of the unmanned aerial vehicle to adapt to multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles 11 of different models.
[0034] Secondly, by selecting the servo method, on the one hand, its clamping force will not be too large to avoid damaging the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11. On the other hand, while its clamping force meets the storage and transportation requirements of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11, its stroke is controllable and can adapt to the fixing requirements of multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles 11 of different models.
[0035] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the embodiment of the present invention, the unfolding unit includes: a driving member 7, a driving rocker arm 8 and a position correction rod 9, wherein: The driving member 7 is arranged at the bottom of the lifting platform 3, and the driving member 7 is connected to the control device; the driving rocker arm 8 is arranged at the bottom of the lifting platform 3, and one end of the driving rocker arm 8 is fixedly connected to the driving member 7; the position correction rod 9 is vertically arranged at the other end of the driving rocker arm 8 and is located in the preset path channel 12 on the lifting platform 3. The height of the position correction rod 9 is greater than the height where the arms of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle are located on the lifting platform 3, and the driving member 7 can drive the position correction rod 9 to move in the preset path channel 12 through the driving rocker arm 8.
[0036] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, the preset path channel 12 is set as an arc-shaped channel.
[0037] With such a setting, by setting the height of the position correction rod 9 to be greater than the height of the drone arm on the lifting platform 3, when the arm of the multi-rotor drone 11 is unfolded by the position correction rod 9, it can be ensured that the position correction rod 9 is in effective contact with the arm to be unfolded, avoiding damage due to ineffective contact during the unfolding of the multi-rotor drone 11, ensuring the safety of the multi-rotor drone 11 and improving the storage and transportation efficiency at the same time.
[0038] In order to be able to meet the unfolding of the arms of multi-rotor drones 11 of different models, the position correction rod 9 can also be set as a telescopic structure.
[0039] In order to avoid wear and slippage during the process of unfolding the arm of the multi-rotor drone 11 using the position correction rod 9, anti-slip elements such as anti-slip cloth, anti-slip pad, anti-slip groove or anti-slip ring can also be provided on the position correction rod 9.
[0040] Regarding how to use the storage and transportation box of the present invention to realize the storage and transportation of the multi-rotor drone 11 with foldable arms, the corresponding operation process and principle are illustrated by examples as follows: When the storage and transportation of the multi-rotor drone 11 is required, use the control device to control the opening of the box cover 2, and then use the control device to control the lifting mechanism to raise the lifting platform 3 in the lifting mechanism, and then place the multi-rotor drone 11 to be stored and transported on the lifting platform 3; use the control device to control the driving member 7 of the unfolding unit to move the position correction rod 9 in the unfolding unit to the inside of the preset path channel 12, and then fold the arm of the multi-rotor drone 11 to be stored and transported; use the control device to control the limiting member 5 in the fixing unit to extend, so that the fixing member 6 clamps the multi-rotor drone 11 to be stored and transported; use the control device to control the lifting mechanism to lower the lifting platform 3 in the lifting mechanism until the multi-rotor drone 11 to be stored and transported descends into the box body 1, and then use the control device to control the box cover 2 to close.
[0041] When the storage and transportation of the multi-rotor drone 11 is completed and the multi-rotor drone 11 needs to be taken out, use the control device to control the opening of the box cover 2, and then use the control device to control the lifting mechanism to raise the lifting platform 3 in the lifting mechanism; use the control device to control the driving member 7 of the unfolding unit to move the position correction rod 9 in the unfolding unit from the inside of the preset path channel 12 to the outside of the preset path channel 12, so as to use the position correction rod 9 to push the arm of the multi-rotor drone 11 to unfold; use the control device to control the limiting member 5 in the fixing unit to retract, so that the fixing member 6 disengages from the multi-rotor drone 11; and then take out the multi-rotor drone 11 or control the multi-rotor drone 11 to take off and leave the box body 1.
[0042] In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, the driving member 7 includes a driving servo.
[0043] In some alternative implementation manners of this embodiment, the detection unit 10 includes a sensor.
[0044] Among them, in order to be able to detect whether the arms of each multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11 are deployed, ensure that the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11 can take off directly from the box body 1 normally, and can fly normally after takeoff, the number of sensors is set to a number that matches the arms of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 11.
[0045] As an example, taking a quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle as an example, the number of sensors is set to four.
[0046] In order to more accurately detect whether the arms of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle are fully deployed, the sensors are arranged at the positions where the arms are fully deployed, such as the outer sides of the tops of the fully deployed arms. When the arms are fully deployed, the arms just trigger the sensors.
[0047] In some alternative implementation manners of this embodiment, the control device includes an industrial computer or a control computer and a remote controller used in cooperation with the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control.
[0048] In summary, a storage and transportation box for a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle according to the present invention can be used to store and transport multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles 11 of various different models, occupies a small space, is convenient for storing and taking the unmanned aerial vehicle, has high access efficiency, low storage and transportation costs, and strong protection ability.
