Detailed Implementation

[0019] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0020] like Figure 1 The smart light pole shown includes a light pole 1, which is a hollow cylindrical structure. An advertising box 11 is installed on the side of the light pole 1, and an air conditioning component (not shown) is installed inside the advertising box 11. The advertising box 11 is at least 3 meters above the ground to avoid affecting pedestrian safety and to reduce the impact of ground heat radiation on the air conditioning component. Integrating the air conditioning component of the drone nest 2 into the light pole 1 can reduce the size and weight of the drone nest 2, improve the stability and aesthetics of the light pole 1, and ensure the safety of using the drone nest 2.

[0021] The air conditioning components include a compressor, condenser, condenser fan, evaporator, evaporator fan, and heater. An air inlet is located on the side of the advertising box 11, a heat dissipation vent is located on the back of the advertising box 11, and an air outlet is located between the advertising box 11 and the light pole 1. The condenser and condenser fan are installed at the heat dissipation vent, and the evaporator, evaporator fan, and heater are installed between the air inlet and the air outlet. A partition is installed inside the light pole 1, located at the advertising box 11, to prevent the hot and cold air generated by the air conditioning components from flowing downwards and wasting energy.

[0022] In hot weather, the compressor draws in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, where a condenser fan dissipates heat into the outside air, and the refrigerant itself condenses into a medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid. This medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion valve, where its pressure drops sharply, becoming a low-temperature, low-pressure mixture of liquid and gaseous refrigerant, known as a "mist," which enters the evaporator. The evaporator fan draws in hot outside air from the inlet, cools it in the evaporator, and forms cold air that enters the interior of light pole 1 from the outlet. Simultaneously, the refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas, which is then drawn back into the compressor. In cold weather, the evaporator fan draws in cold outside air, heats it in the heater, and forms hot air that enters the interior of light pole 1 from the outlet. The specific structure and installation method of the air conditioning components are existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, the top of the lamp pole 1 is provided with a UAV nest 2 and a lighting assembly 12, the UAV nest 2 is installed in the middle of the top of the lamp pole 1, and several lighting assemblies 12 are installed on the side of the top of the lamp pole 1, the UAV nest 2 and the lighting assembly 12 are in communication with the lamp pole 1, and the air conditioning assembly adjusts the temperature of the UAV nest 2 and the lighting assembly 12 through the channel in the lamp pole 1.

[0024] By integrating the air conditioning assembly in the advertising box of the lamp pole, on the one hand, the height of the air conditioning assembly is reduced, and the maintenance of the air conditioning assembly is facilitated; on the other hand, the integrated temperature adjustment of the UAV nest and the lighting assembly can be realized through the channel in the lamp pole, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2 , the UAV nest 2 includes a lower shell 21, an upper shell 22, and a parking platform 3, the upper shell 22 is reversibly installed on the upper end of the lower shell 21, and the parking platform 3 is installed in the upper shell 22, when the upper shell 22 is reversed and the parking surface of the parking platform 3 faces downward, the upper shell 22 and the lower shell 21 form a sealed containing cavity.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the lower shell 21 is a semispherical structure with an upward opening, and the bottom of the lower shell 21 is provided with a communication hole 211. The lower side of the lower shell 21 is fixedly provided with a connecting seat 23, the connecting seat 23 is a disc-shaped structure with an open lower end, the communication hole 211 penetrates the connecting seat 23, the lower shell 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the lamp pole 1 through the connecting seat 23, and the communication hole 211 of the lower shell 21 is in communication with the inside of the lamp pole 1.

[0027] Two reversible supports 24 are symmetrically installed on the two sides of the connecting seat 23, the reversible support 24 is a hollow structure, and the lower end of the reversible support 24 is in communication with the connecting seat 23. The upper end of the reversible support 24 extends upward and is connected to the side of the lower shell 21, the upper end of the reversible support 24 is provided with a reversible shaft hole 241, and the lower part of the reversible shaft hole 241 is provided with a hollow groove.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 , the upper shell 22 is a semispherical structure, and the inner diameter of the upper shell 22 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the lower shell 21, so that the upper shell 22 can be relatively sealed with the lower shell 21. The UAV nest 2 is designed to be spherical, which can reduce the wind resistance of the UAV nest 2 and further improve the stability of the lamp pole.

[0029] Two overturning shafts 221 are symmetrically fixed on two sides of the upper shell 22, the overturning shafts 221 are hollow structures, and the overturning shafts 221 are rotatably installed in the overturning shaft holes 241 through bearings. The overturning driving member 25 is installed in the connecting seat 23, and the overturning driving member 25 is in transmission connection with the overturning shaft 221 through a transmission assembly 26. Specifically, the overturning driving member 25 is a motor, the transmission assembly 26 includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a transmission belt, the driving wheel is fixed on the output shaft of the overturning driving member 25, the driven wheel is fixed on the overturning shaft, and the transmission belt is wound between the driving wheel and the driven wheel through the hollow groove. When the overturning driving member 25 rotates, the driving wheel will rotate, and then the driven wheel will rotate through the transmission belt, and finally the overturning shaft will rotate to realize the overturning action of the upper shell 22. Preferably, the driving wheel and the driven wheel are synchronous wheels, and the transmission belt is a synchronous belt, so as to avoid relative sliding between the overturning shaft 221 and the overturning driving member 25, and to ensure the accuracy of the overturning of the upper shell 22.

[0030] Preferably, the inner wall of the upper shell 22 is fixed with a reinforcing rib to improve the stability of the structure of the upper shell 22. The inner wall of the lamp post 1, the outer wall of the lower shell 21 and the inner wall of the upper shell 22 are all coated with heat insulation materials to reduce the influence of the external environment on the internal temperature of the unmanned aerial vehicle nest.

[0031] The inner wall of the lower shell 21 is provided with an annular groove 212, the annular groove 212 is located above the communication hole 211, and the annular groove 212 and the communication hole 211 are coaxially arranged, and a plurality of drainage holes 213 are formed in the lower edge of the annular groove 212, and the drainage holes 213 are uniformly arranged along the annular groove 212. When the rainwater flows into the lower shell 21 along the edge of the upper shell 22, the rainwater collects in the annular groove 212 and flows out of the lower shell 21 through the drainage holes 213, so as to avoid the rainwater flowing into the lamp post 1. The annular groove 212 can be multi-channel, and the multi-channel annular grooves 212 are arranged in a ladder shape to improve the drainage capacity of the lower shell 21. The upper edge of the lower shell 21 is provided with a sponge strip to prevent dust from entering the interior of the unmanned aerial vehicle nest.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the parking platform 3 is of a rectangular structure, and the lower end of the parking platform 3 is installed in the interior of the upper shell 22 through four supporting legs, and the parking platform 3 is parallel to the opening of the upper shell 22. The lower end surface of the parking platform 3 is fixedly provided with a wireless charging module 4, and the wireless charging module 4 is used for charging the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0033] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 , two sets of clamping assemblies 5 are installed on the parking platform 3, and the two sets of clamping assemblies 5 are arranged perpendicularly and cross each other. The two sets of clamping assemblies 5 are used for centrally positioning and clamping the unmanned aerial vehicle 6, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle 6 can be fixed on the parking platform 3.

[0034] The clamping assembly 5 comprises a clamping rail 51, a clamping drive 52 and a clamping rod 53. Two clamping rails 51 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the parking platform 3, and a sliding groove 511 is arranged on the clamping rail 51 along the length direction of the clamping rail 51. The two ends of the clamping rail 51 are respectively provided with a drive wheel 512, and a connecting belt 513 is arranged between the two drive wheels 512. The connecting belt 513 is fixedly connected with two moving seats 514, and the two moving seats 514 are slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 511, and the two moving seats 514 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting line of the two drive wheels 512.

[0035] The two clamping rods 53 are respectively connected with the corresponding connecting seats 514, so that the two clamping rods 53 are parallel to each other. The clamping drive 52 is a double-shaft motor, and the two output shafts of the clamping drive 52 are fixedly connected with one drive wheel 512 of the two clamping rails 51. When the clamping drive 51 rotates, the two clamping rods 53 are synchronously close to each other to centrally position the unmanned aerial vehicle 6 or synchronously away from each other to unlock the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0036] The two clamping rods 53 on the upper side are fixedly connected with a clamping block 54. When the unmanned aerial vehicle 6 is parked on the parking platform 3, the two clamping rods 53 without the clamping block 54 are synchronously close to each other, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle 6 is centrally positioned in the front-rear direction. Then, the two clamping rods 53 with the clamping block 54 are synchronously close to each other, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle 6 is centrally positioned in the left-right direction, and the clamping block 54 is inserted into the cross beam of the supporting leg of the unmanned aerial vehicle 6, thereby fixing the unmanned aerial vehicle 6 in the up-down direction.

[0037] As shown in Figure 7 When the upper shell 22 is flipped to make the parking platform 3 upward, the parking platform 3 of the unmanned aerial vehicle nest 2 is exposed at this time, and the unmanned aerial vehicle nest 2 is used for take-off and landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle 6.

[0038] As shown in Figure 8 When the upper shell 22 is flipped to make the parking platform 3 downward, the upper shell 22 and the lower shell 21 form a closed containing cavity. At this time, the unmanned aerial vehicle 6 is fixed downward at the lower end of the upper shell 21, and the unmanned aerial vehicle nest 2 is used for charging and storing the unmanned aerial vehicle 6. The air conditioning assembly blows cold air or hot air into the containing cavity through the passage in the lamp pole 1 and the communication hole 211 of the lower shell 21, so as to adjust the temperature inside the unmanned aerial vehicle nest 2.

[0039] Since the upper shell 21 is a whole structure, and the elements of the UAV nest 2 are located in the upper half of the UAV nest 2, the sealing performance of the UAV nest 2 can be improved, and the service life of the UAV nest 2 is prolonged. At the same time, the blowing of the cold air or hot air of the air conditioning assembly makes the air pressure in the UAV nest 2 greater than the external air pressure, and the excess gas will be blown out from the gap between the upper shell 22 and the lower shell 21 and the drainage groove 213 of the lower shell 22, avoiding the entry of external dust into the UAV nest 2.

[0040] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above disclosed technical content to obtain equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the technical solution of the present application.
