This can effectively isolate rainwater, protect the drone's electronic equipment from damage, and keep the interior of the drone dry, prevent mechanical parts from rusting, and reduce damage to the drone caused by a humid environment, thereby extending the service life of the drone. At the same time, it ensures that the drone can be put into use quickly on rainy days, enhancing the emergency response capability of the smart street light. When it is not raining, the waterproof cover automatically retracts and does not affect the normal takeoff of the drone.

[0032] 2. Through the setting of the position adjustment mechanism, after the drone stops on the placement plate, cylinder 1 is activated, and cylinder 1 drives the two protective plates to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the drone to the center position of the placement plate for charging. This can ensure that the drone and the charging equipment are accurately docked, avoiding poor contact of the charging interface due to position deviation, thereby improving charging efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and improving the convenience and efficiency of charging.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a smart street lamp with a drone landing pad. Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment introduces the structure of the position adjustment mechanism in detail.

[0050] The position adjustment mechanism includes a cylinder 703, a pressing rod 705, a power rod 704 and a centering adjustment component; the cylinder 703 is arranged at the bottom of the protective box 6, the power rod 704 is arranged at the output end of the cylinder 703, and the pressing rod 705 is arranged at the bottom of the power rod 704. After the gravity sensor 702 senses the weight of the drone, it starts the cylinder 703 to run back and forth, and the cylinder 703 drives the power rod 704 to move, and the power rod 704 drives the pressing rod 705 to move; the centering adjustment component is arranged on the protective box 6, and is used to adjust the position of the drone on the placement plate 701 to the center of the placement plate 701 for charging. The centering adjustment assembly includes a rotating rod 706, a movable shaft 707, a connecting plate 708 and a telescopic tube 709; the rotating rod 706 is rotatably arranged at the end of the pressing rod 705, and two rotating rods 706 are symmetrically arranged about the pressing rod 705. The movable shaft 707 is rotatably arranged at the end of the rotating rod 706 away from the pressing rod 705, the connecting plate 708 is arranged at the end of the movable shaft 707 away from the rotating rod 706, the telescopic tube 709 is arranged on the side of the connecting plate 708, and a spring 710 is arranged on the outside of the telescopic tube 709. A protective plate 711 is provided at one end of the telescopic tube 709 away from the connecting plate 708. When the pressing rod 705 is pressed down, the two rotating rods 706 are driven to rotate synchronously. Since the connecting plate 708 is fixed in the vertical direction, the rotating rod 706 drives the connecting plate 708 to move in the protective box 6 when it rotates. The connecting plate 708 drives the protective plate 711 to move through the telescopic tube 709. The two protective plates 711 move toward each other, thereby squeezing the drone in the center position of the placement plate 701, allowing the drone to charge at the center position.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] The present invention proposes a method for operating a smart street lamp with a drone landing pad, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0053] S1, the street lamp body 2 illuminates the ground, and the regulator 4 automatically adjusts the light intensity of the street lamp body 2 according to the light intensity in the environment;

[0054] S2: After the drone completes its work, it stays on the placement plate 701. The gravity sensor 702 senses the weight and activates the cylinder 1 703 to run one round trip.

[0055] S3. Cylinder 1 703 drives the two rotating rods 706 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating rods 706 rotate, the protective plate 711 moves. The two protective plates 711 move toward each other, squeezing the drone into the center of the placement plate 701. The charging plate at the center and the bottom of the drone are inductively connected to each other for automatic charging.

[0056] S4. On rainy days, the detector 808 starts the cylinder 2 802 when it receives the signal of rain. When the cylinder 2 802 drives the slider to move to the position of the lifting plate 812, it can support the lifting plate 812 to rise, thereby driving the support rod 809 to rise when it contacts the support rod 809. When the push rod 804 rises to the top, the cylinder 2 802 stops running, and the support rod 809 drives the waterproof cover 806 to open to the maximum to keep out the rain.

[0057] In summary, when the present invention is used, the street lamp body 2 is turned on to illuminate the ground, and the regulator 4 automatically adjusts the light intensity of the street lamp body 2 according to the light intensity in the environment. After the work is completed, the drone stops on the placement plate 701, and the gravity sensor 702 senses the weight to start the cylinder 1 703 to run back and forth. The cylinder 1 703 drives the power rod 704 to move, and the power rod 704 drives the pressing rod 705 to move. When the pressing rod 705 is pressed down, it drives the two rotating rods 706 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating rod 706 rotates, it drives the connecting plate 708 to move in the protective box 6. The connecting plate 708 drives the protective plate 711 to move through the telescopic tube 709. The two protective plates 711 move toward each other to block the drone. The machine is squeezed in the center of the placement plate 701, so that the UAV can be charged in the center position. On rainy days, when the detector 808 receives a signal of rain, it starts the cylinder 2 802, and the cylinder 2 802 drives the push rod 804 to move, and the push rod 804 drives the slider to move. There are four through slots on the fixed tube 810, and the slider has four protruding ends that just extend out of the through slots. Therefore, when it moves to the position of the lifting plate 812, it can support the lifting plate 812 to rise, thereby driving the support rod 809 2 to rise when it contacts the support rod 809 2. When the push rod 804 rises to the top, the cylinder 2 802 stops running, and the support rod 809 2 drives the waterproof cover 806 2 to open to the maximum to keep out the rain, thereby protecting the UAV.

[0058] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
