Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a UAV nest. Background Technology

[0002] The heat dissipation performance of drones has a significant impact on their lifespan and operational efficiency. To facilitate heat dissipation, drones are often equipped with heat dissipation channels on their sides. During flight, outside air enters the heat dissipation channels through the ventilation openings, achieving air cooling and temperature reduction for key heat-generating components such as motors and batteries exposed in the channels.

[0003] When a drone flies back to its nest to charge, the battery generates heat during the charging process. At this time, the drone is stationary, and the air convection in the heat dissipation channel is small. The heat accumulates in the heat dissipation channel, which accelerates the aging of the internal battery materials and has an adverse effect on the battery life. Summary of the Invention

[0065] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. It should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in this invention to describe various information, but this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this invention, "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information.

[0067] like Figures 3 to 14As shown, the drone nest of this application is used to charge the drone 100. The drone 100 has a first ventilation opening 101 on one side and a first heat dissipation channel. The first ventilation opening 101 is the air inlet of the first heat dissipation channel and is located in the middle of one side of the drone 100. A preferred embodiment of the drone nest of this application includes a landing platform 1, a centering mechanism 2, and a first air supply component 31. The landing platform 1 has a charging area 11 for charging the drone 100 in the middle. The centering mechanism 2 includes a drive mechanism 22 and a plurality of pushers 21. The drive mechanism 22 is connected to the landing platform 1, and each pusher 21 is connected to the drive mechanism 22. Each pusher 21 is located outside the charging area 11 and arranged around the charging area 11. The first air supply component 31 is connected to the pusher 21 opposite to the first ventilation opening 101 and has a direction towards the first ventilation opening. A first air outlet 311 is arranged in 101; wherein, the drive mechanism 22 is used to drive each pusher 21 to move towards the charging area 11, so that each pusher 21 pushes the UAV 100 parked on the landing platform 1 to the charging area 11, and causes the first air supply 31 to move towards the first air outlet 101. While the UAV 100 moves towards the center of the charging area 11 under the pushing action of the pusher 21, the first air outlet 101 moves towards the first air outlet 311 along with the UAV 100. The first air outlet 311 also moves towards the first air outlet 101 under the drive of the pusher 21. Finally, when the UAV 100 completes centering, at least a portion of the first air outlet 311 is opposite to the first air outlet 101, so that the first air outlet 101 and the first air outlet 311 are connected, allowing the first air supply 31 to supply air to the first air outlet 101. Specifically, although the flight control system of the UAV 100 can guide its landing, there are certain positioning and attitude control accuracy errors. During landing, due to the varying horizontal positioning accuracy of the drone 100, it is difficult to ensure that the drone 100 lands precisely in the center of the charging area 11 each time. Therefore, the centering mechanism 2 is needed to accurately locate any drones 100 that deviate from their designated position. If an air supply component is directly installed on the landing platform 1 to ventilate the first ventilation opening 101, the air supply component will interfere with the movement of the pusher assembly. Moreover, with this setup, the drone 100 needs to avoid the air supply component when landing, which will interfere with the landing operation and make it more difficult. In this application, the pusher component 21 of the centering mechanism 2 is used as the mounting carrier for the air supply component. The air supply component can move synchronously with the pusher component 21, so it will not interfere with the movement of the pusher assemblies. Furthermore, the pusher component 21 can carry the air supply component away from the charging area 11, preventing the air supply component from adversely affecting the landing of the drone 100.When the drive mechanism 22 drives each pusher 21 to perform a centering action, each pusher 21 pushes the drone 100, which has deviated from the charging area 11, to the center of the charging area 11. After the drone 100 is centered, the position of each pusher 21 remains fixed, and each pusher 21 serves to limit the centering of the drone 100. The pusher 21 connected to the air supply component also serves to keep the air supply component in a position that can supply air to the first ventilation port 101, so that the air supply component can continuously supply air to the drone 100 during the charging process. The setting position of the air supply component on the pusher 21 is determined according to the position of the drone 100 after centering. The air supply component can be connected to the pusher 21 by fastening or welding. In this embodiment, after the drone 100 is centered, the first air outlet 311 covers the air inlet.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the drone nest further includes an air supply device 4, at least a portion of which is connected to the lower end of the landing platform 1; the landing platform 1 has a first air outlet channel 12 that runs vertically through the drone, the first air outlet channel 12 having a first upper port 121 and a first lower port 122, and the air outlet end of the air supply device 4 is connected to the first lower port 122; the first air supply component 31 has a first air guide cavity 313 and a first air inlet 312, and the first air outlet 311 is connected to the first air guide cavity 313. The upper part is connected, and the lower part of the first air inlet 312 is connected to the lower part of the first air guide cavity 313, with the first air inlet 312 facing the stop platform 1. When the drive mechanism 22 drives each pusher 21 to move towards the charging area 11, the pusher 21 connected to the first air supply 31 drives the first air supply 31 to move towards the first air outlet 12, so that at least a part of the first air inlet 312 is vertically opposite to the first upper port 121, thereby making the first air inlet 312 connected to the first upper port 121. Specifically, in this embodiment, the movement of the pusher 21 can drive the air supply 31 to move, so that the first air inlet 312 moves to a position vertically opposite to the first upper port 121, and at the same time moves the first air outlet 311 to a position opposite to the first ventilation opening 101. The air supply device 4 is positioned below the landing platform 1. During the charging process of the drone 100 after it has returned to its center, the air output by the air supply device 4 flows upward through the first air outlet channel 12, sequentially passing through the first lower port 122, the first air outlet channel 12, the first upper port 121, the first air inlet 312, the first air guide cavity 313, the first air outlet 311, and the first ventilation port 101. Finally, it enters the first heat dissipation channel of the drone 100 itself through the first ventilation port 101, thereby cooling the battery and electronic components exposed in the first heat dissipation channel. In this embodiment, since the air supply device is positioned below the landing platform 1, it is not necessary to connect the air supply device 4 to the air supply component. This allows the structure of the air supply component to be designed specifically for ventilation, and the ventilation area of ​​the air supply component can be set to be larger. In some embodiments of this application, the air supply device 4 can be configured as a small fan and connected to the first air supply component 31.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the air supply device 4 includes a wind box 41 and a fan. The wind box 41 is arranged below the stop platform 1 and connected to the stop platform 1. The wind box 41 is connected to the first lower port 122. The air outlet of the fan is connected to the ventilation box 41. After the airflow blown out by the fan enters the wind box 41, it will be diffused and buffered in the wind box 41, so that the pressure and speed of the airflow gradually become uniform and stable inside the wind box 41, so that a stable air pressure cavity is formed below the stop platform 1. Compared with the direct air supply of a single fan, it can deliver airflow to the first air outlet channel 12 more evenly and reduce the impact of wind speed fluctuations on the heat dissipation effect.

[0070] The fan can be directly connected to the air box 41 or connected to the air box 41 via a pipe. In some embodiments of this application, the drone nest also includes a charging box 5 for charging the drone 100. The charging box 5 is connected to the landing platform 1 and / or the air box 41. The charging box 5 has a heat sink 51, at least a portion of which is disposed in the air box 41. By placing at least a portion of the heat sink 51 of the charging box 5 inside the air box 41, the airflow generated by the air supply device 4 can simultaneously dissipate heat from the drone 100 and carry away the heat generated by the charging box 5 during operation. The charging box 5 contains a wireless charging module or a charging coil and control circuitry, etc. The air supply device 4 can dissipate heat from the charging box 5, making full use of the cooling capacity of the airflow generated by the air supply device 4, reducing the energy consumption required for heat dissipation, and eliminating the need for a separate heat dissipation system for the charging box 5, thus saving space and making the drone nest structure of this application more compact. In this embodiment, the charging box 5 is connected to the blower box 41. In other embodiments of this application, the charging box 5 can be connected to the lower end of the stop platform 1, or in order to improve the stability of the charging box 5, the upper end of the charging box 5 can be connected to the lower end of the stop platform 1, and one side or the lower end of the charging box 5 can be connected to the blower box 41 at the same time.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, a second vent 102 is provided on the other side of the drone 100. A second air supply component 32 is connected to a pusher 21 opposite to the second vent 102. The drive mechanism 22 drives each pusher 21 to push the drone 100, which is parked on the docking platform, to the charging area 11. It also causes the second air supply component 32 to move closer to the second vent 102, so that the second air outlet 321 communicates with the second vent 102, thereby allowing the second air supply component 32 to supply air to the second vent 102. The provision of the second air supply component further increases the heat dissipation efficiency of the drone's heat sink in this application.

[0072] The stop platform 1 is provided with a second air outlet channel 13, which has a second upper port 131 and a second lower port 132. The second lower port 132 is connected to the air outlet end of the air supply device 4. The second air supply component 32 has a second air guide cavity 323, a second air inlet 322 and a second air outlet 321. The second air outlet 321 is connected to the upper part of the second air guide cavity 323, and the second air inlet 322 is connected to the lower part of the first air guide cavity 313. The second air inlet 322 is arranged facing the stop platform 1. When the drive mechanism 22 drives each pusher 21 to move towards the charging area 11, the pusher 21 connected to the second air supply component 32 drives the second air supply component 32 to move towards the second air outlet channel 13, so that at least a part of the second air inlet 322 is vertically opposite to the second upper port 131 and the second air outlet 321 is connected to the second ventilation port 102. Specifically, the drone 100 also has a second heat dissipation channel. The second heat dissipation channel and the first heat dissipation channel are arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides. The dual-sided heat dissipation channel design can balance the air pressure on both sides of the drone 100, avoiding the instability of the drone 100 during flight caused by a single-sided heat dissipation channel. In this application, the setting of the second air supply component 32 can not only increase the heat dissipation effect, but also balance the lateral thrust generated by the wind blown by the first heat dissipation component 51 onto the drone 100, which is conducive to ensuring the attitude balance of the drone 100 during the charging process. Among them, the air box 41 includes a box body 411, a first diverter 412 and a second diverter 413. The first diverter 412 and the second diverter 413 are both connected to the upper end of the box body 411. The first diverter 412 has a first diverter cavity, and the second diverter 413 has a second diverter cavity. The lower end of the first diverter cavity is connected to the inner cavity of the box body 411, and the upper ends of the first diverter cavity and the second diverter cavity are connected to the first lower port 122 and the second lower port 132, respectively. The charging box 5 is arranged in the gap between the first diversion section 412 and the second diversion section 413. Heat sinks 51 are provided on both sides of the charging box 5. The two heat sinks 51 extend into the first diversion cavity and the second diversion cavity respectively. The charging box 5 is fastened to the box body. The fan is connected to the box body 411. This arrangement can utilize the space occupied by the fan box 41 to install the charging box 5, making the drone nest structure more compact.

[0073] It should be noted that in this application, even if the first heat dissipation channel and the second heat dissipation channel are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the drone 100, only the first air supply component 31 can be set without the second air supply component 32. This is because the second heat dissipation channel is mainly set to balance the flight attitude of the drone 100. During the charging process, only the first air supply component 31 is set without the second air supply component 32, which can also meet the heat dissipation requirements of the drone 100.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2As shown, the drone 100 also has a third ventilation port 103, which is located at the lower end of the drone 100. The landing platform 1 also has a third air outlet channel 14, which has a third upper port 141 and a third lower port. The third lower port is connected to the air outlet of the air supply device 4. When the drone 100 is in the charging area 11, at least a portion of the third ventilation port 103 is vertically opposite to the third upper port 141. Specifically, the first vent 101 is located on the left side of the drone 100, and the second vent 102 is located on the right side of the drone 100. Both the first air supply component 31 and the second air supply component 32 are cylindrical. The first air supply component 31 includes a first vertical section and a first horizontal section connected to the upper end of the first vertical section. The first air inlet 312 is located at the lower end of the first vertical section, and the first air outlet 311 is located at the end of the first horizontal section away from the first vertical section. The second air supply component 32 includes a second vertical section and a second horizontal section connected to the upper end of the second vertical section. The second air inlet 322 is located at the lower end of the second vertical section, and the second air outlet 321 is located at the end of the second horizontal section away from the second vertical section. The arrangement of the third heat dissipation channel and the third air outlet channel 14 of the drone 100 further improves the heat dissipation effect of the drone 100. Moreover, the air supply device 4 can simultaneously supply air to the first heat dissipation channel, the second heat dissipation channel, and the third heat dissipation channel, eliminating the need for a separate fan for each heat dissipation channel, thus making the drone's internal structure more compact in this embodiment.

[0075] To prevent debris from falling into the air supply device 4 through the first air outlet channel 12, the second air outlet channel 13, and the third air outlet channel 14, in some embodiments of this application, perforated plates are provided in the first air outlet channel 12, the second air outlet channel 13, and the third air outlet channel 14.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, the drone nest further includes a protective box 6, which has a receiving cavity 61, and the landing platform 1 is disposed in the receiving cavity 61. The receiving cavity 61 formed by the protective box 6 can provide physical protection for the drone 100 placed on the landing platform 1, effectively resisting the influence of external environmental factors, such as rain, snow, sandstorms, and ultraviolet radiation, and extending the service life of the drone 100 and the internal components of the nest. The air supply device 4 also includes an air duct 42 and a fan. One side of the protective box 6 has a first side wall 63, and the fan is connected to the first side wall 63. One end of the air duct 42 is connected to the air outlet of the fan, and the other end is connected to the first lower port 122. Connecting the fan to the first side wall 63 of the protective box 6 facilitates the installation and fixation of the fan. Moreover, the fan is located outside the landing platform 1, so it will not interfere with the centering mechanism 2, allowing for a larger fan size and ensuring a larger air volume. In addition, when maintenance, repair or replacement of the wind turbine is required, staff can operate the wind turbine directly from the outside of the protective box 6 without having to go deep into the complex structure inside the turbine housing, which reduces the difficulty of maintenance.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the drone nest also includes a lateral telescopic mechanism 7. The other side of the protective housing 6 has a second sidewall 64 with an opening 62 communicating with the receiving cavity 61. The lateral telescopic mechanism 7 is located at the lower part of the receiving cavity 61, and the landing platform 1 is connected to the lateral telescopic mechanism 7. The lateral telescopic mechanism 7 is used to drive the landing platform 1 to extend from the opening 62 out of the receiving cavity 61, or to drive the landing platform 1 to retract into the receiving cavity 61. When the drone 100 needs to take off or land, the lateral telescopic mechanism 7 extends the landing platform 1 from the opening 62 out of the receiving cavity 61, providing ample operating space and preventing the drone 100 from colliding with the protective housing 6. When charging or idle, the landing platform 1 retracts into the receiving cavity 61, keeping the drone 100 in a closed and protected state, reducing the risk of accidental damage. One end of the air duct 42 away from the first side wall 63 can be fixedly connected to the lower end of the stop platform 1, and the air duct can be set as a flexible hose or a corrugated pipe so that the air duct 42 can adapt to the lateral movement of the stop platform 1.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 As shown, the air supply device 4 also includes an air box 41, which is connected to the lower end of the stop platform 1 and communicates with the first lower port 122. The air box 41 has a first docking end 414, which is arranged facing the first side wall 63. The air delivery duct 42 has a second docking end 421, which is arranged opposite to the first docking end 414. The lateral telescopic mechanism 7 drives the stop platform 1 to extend from the opening 62 to the outside of the receiving cavity 61, thereby moving the first docking end 414 away from the second docking end 421 and separating the first docking end 414 and the second docking end 421. The lateral telescopic mechanism 7 drives the stop platform 1 to retract into the receiving cavity 61, thereby moving the first docking end 414 closer to the second docking end 421 and engaging the first docking end 414 and the second docking end 421. Specifically, the first side wall 63 is the rear wall of the protective box 6, and the second side wall 64 is the front wall of the protective box 6. The lateral telescopic mechanism 7 can drive the stop platform 1 to move forward, so that the stop platform 1 extends to the front of the protective box 6. When the lateral telescopic mechanism 7 drives the stop platform 1 to extend out of the receiving cavity 61, the air box 41 moves synchronously with the stop platform 1, so that the first docking end 414 and the second docking end 421 are separated, avoiding the interference of the hose or corrugated pipe on the lateral telescopic mechanism 7 caused by the use of hoses or corrugated pipes to connect the air box 41 and the fan. When the stop platform 1 retracts into the receiving cavity 61, the first docking end 414 and the second docking end 421 are engaged to form a complete air supply channel. Among them, the first docking end 414 and the second docking end 421 can be equipped with elastic sealing rings to achieve a sealed engagement.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 12As shown, the lateral telescopic mechanism 7 includes multiple layers of plates connected sequentially from bottom to top. Two adjacent layers are defined as an upper plate 71 and a lower plate 72, respectively. The upper plate 71 and the lower plate 72 are connected by a guide rail 73 and a slider 74. The guide rail 73 is connected to the lower plate 72, and its length extends horizontally and faces the opening 62. The upper plate 71 is connected to the slider 74. Both the upper plate 71 and the lower plate 72 are provided with a driving device for driving the slider 74 to move horizontally along the guide rail 73. The stop platform 1 is connected to the uppermost plate 71 of the lateral telescopic mechanism 7.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the driving device includes a third motor, a pulley 75, and a conveyor belt 76. Two pulleys 75 are spaced apart in the extension direction of the lateral telescopic mechanism 7. The conveyor belt 76 is sleeved on the pulleys 75. The output shaft of the third motor is connected to one of the pulleys 75. The slider 74 is connected to the conveyor belt 76. The third motor drives the pulley 75 to rotate, the pulley 75 drives the conveyor belt 76 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 76 drives the slider 74 to move along the extension direction of the lateral telescopic mechanism 7.

[0081] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 13 , Figure 14As shown, the drive mechanism 22 includes a left-right centering mechanism 221 and a front-back centering mechanism 222. The left-right centering mechanism 221 includes a left moving component 2211, a right moving component 2212, and a first drive component 2213. The left moving component 2211 is located on the left side of the charging area 11, and the right moving component 2212 is located on the right side of the charging area 11. Both the left moving component 2211 and the right moving component 2212 are connected to a pusher 21. The first drive component 2213 is connected to the stop platform 1 and is used to drive the left moving component 2211 and the right moving component 2212. The component 2212 moves synchronously towards the charging area 11. The front-to-back centering mechanism 222 includes a front moving component 2221, a rear moving component 2222, and a second drive component 2223. The front moving component 2221 is located at the front of the charging area 11, and the rear moving component 2222 is located at the rear of the charging area 11. Both the front moving component 2221 and the rear moving component 2222 are connected to pushers 21. The second drive component 2223 is connected to the stop table 1 and is used to drive the front moving component 2221 and the rear moving component 2222 to move synchronously towards the charging area 11. Specifically, the left-right centering mechanism 221 and the front-to-back centering mechanism 222 form an independent adjustment system in orthogonal directions. The left-right direction is driven synchronously by the left moving component 2211 and the right moving component 2212, and the front-to-back direction is driven synchronously by the front moving component 2221 and the rear moving component 2222. Moreover, the first drive component 2213 and the second drive component 2223 can drive all pushers 21. In some embodiments of this application, four or more pushers 21 may be arranged around the charging area 11, each pusher 21 being connected to a driving member, and a driving member driving only one pusher 21 to move toward or away from the charging area 11.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, the centering mechanism 2 further includes a mounting platform 223 and a connector 224. The mounting platform 223 is arranged below the stop platform 1, and the connector 224 connects the mounting platform 223 and the stop platform 1. The first drive assembly 2213 is connected to the upper end of the mounting platform 223 and is located between the stop platform 1 and the mounting platform 223. The lower ends of the left moving assembly 2211 and the right moving assembly 2212 are connected to the first drive assembly 2213, and the upper ends of the left moving assembly 2211 and the right moving assembly 2212 are each connected to a pusher 21. The second drive assembly 2223 is connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 223. The lower ends of the front moving assembly 2221 and the rear moving assembly 2222 are connected to the second drive assembly 2223, and the upper ends of the front moving assembly 2221 and the rear moving assembly 2222 are each connected to a pusher 21. Specifically, the mounting platform 223 is positioned below the parking platform 1, the first drive assembly 2213 is located between the parking platform 1 and the mounting platform 223, and the second drive assembly 2223 is located at the lower end of the mounting platform 223, effectively utilizing the vertical space of the housing. This layout allows the first drive assembly 2213 and the second drive assembly 2223 to be distributed in an orderly manner at different heights, avoiding the problem of large lateral space occupation caused by concentrating the first drive assembly 2213 and the second drive assembly 2223 on the same plane. This makes the planar outline of the housing more compact, allowing the housing to be installed in locations with limited lateral installation space.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the first drive assembly 2213 includes a first lead screw 22131, a first threaded sleeve 22132, a second threaded sleeve 22133, and a first motor 22134; the first lead screw 22131 is connected to the mounting platform 223 and extends in the left-right direction; the first lead screw 22131 has a first threaded section and a second threaded section with opposite directions of rotation, the first threaded sleeve 22132 is sleeved on the first threaded section, and the second threaded sleeve 22133 is sleeved on the second threaded section; the lower end of the left moving assembly 2211 is connected to the first threaded sleeve 22132, and the upper end of the left moving assembly 2211 is connected to a pusher 21; the lower end of the right moving assembly 2212 is connected to the second threaded sleeve 22133, and the upper end of the right moving assembly 2212 is connected to another pusher 21; the first motor 22134 is connected to the mounting platform 223, and the first lead screw 22131 is drively connected to the output shaft of the first motor 22134. The first lead screw 22131, through the first and second threaded sections with opposite directions of rotation, in conjunction with the first and second threaded sleeves 22132 and 22133, can realize the synchronous reverse movement of the left moving component 2211 and the right moving component 2212. The first motor 22134 can make the left moving component 2211 and the right moving component 2212 move closer or further away synchronously by rotating forward or in reverse.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, the first drive assembly 2213 further includes a second lead screw 22135, a third threaded sleeve 22136, and a fourth threaded sleeve 22137; the second lead screw 22135 is connected to the mounting platform 223 and arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first lead screw 22131; the second lead screw 22135 has a third threaded section and a fourth threaded section with opposite directions of rotation, the third threaded sleeve 22136 is sleeved on the third threaded section, and the fourth threaded sleeve 22137 is sleeved on the fourth threaded section; the pusher 21 connected to the left moving assembly 2211 is a first push rod, the first push rod extends in the front-rear direction, the left moving assembly 2211 includes a first rod body 22111 and a second rod body 22112, the lower end of the first rod body 22111 is connected to the first threaded sleeve 22132, and the upper end of the first rod body 22111... The first push rod is connected to the front end of the first push rod. The lower end of the second rod body 22112 is connected to the third screw sleeve 22136, and the upper end of the second rod body 22112 is connected to the rear end of the first push rod. The push member 21 connected to the right moving component 2212 is the second push rod, which extends in the front-back direction. The right moving component 2212 includes a third rod body 22121 and a fourth rod body 22122. The lower end of the third rod body 22121 is connected to the second screw sleeve 22133, and the upper end of the third rod body 22121 is connected to the front end of the second push rod. The lower end of the fourth rod body 22122 is connected to the fourth screw sleeve 22137, and the upper end of the fourth rod body 22122 is connected to the rear end of the second push rod. The first lead screw 22131 and the second lead screw 22135 are both connected to the output shaft of the first motor 22134. Specifically, each of the following positions on the stop platform 1, corresponding to the first rod 22111, the second rod 22112, the third rod 22121, and the fourth rod 22122, is provided with a first long slot 15. The first long slot 15 extends in the left-right direction, and the first rod 22111, the second rod 22112, the third rod 22121, and the fourth rod 22122 pass vertically through the corresponding first long slot 15. The first lead screw 22131 and the second lead screw 22135 are arranged parallel to each other and are controlled by the first motor 22. The 134 synchronous drive, together with the first rod 22111, the second rod 22112 and the first push rod, forms a portal frame structure. The third rod 22121, the fourth rod 22122 and the second push rod also form a portal frame structure. Compared with a single screw drive for the first or second push rod, the torsional resistance and structural rigidity of the first and second push rods are greatly enhanced. During the pushing process, the first and second push rods are less prone to deformation or wobbling, ensuring the linearity and stability of the centering action and improving the positioning accuracy. Furthermore, in this application, the first lead screw 22131 and the second lead screw 22135 are driven by the same first motor 22134, which can ensure that the rotational speeds of the first lead screw 22131 and the second lead screw 22135 are consistent, thereby ensuring that the first rod 22111 and the second rod 22112 move at the same speed, and the third rod 22121 and the fourth rod 22122 move at the same speed, avoiding the tilting of the first push member 21 or the second push member 21 due to unilateral movement lag.There are multiple ways to transmit the first motor 22134 to the first lead screw 22131 and the second lead screw 22135. For example, the first motor 22134 can be set as a single output shaft motor, and a transmission rod can be rotatably connected to the upper end of the mounting platform 223. One end of the transmission rod is connected to one end of the first lead screw 22131 through a cross shaft transmission mechanism, and the other end of the transmission rod is also connected to one end of the second lead screw 22135 through a cross shaft transmission mechanism. The output shaft of the first motor 22134 can be connected to the transmission rod through belt drive or gear drive.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, the first motor 22134 is a dual-output-shaft motor. The first motor 22134 has a first output shaft and a second output shaft that rotate at a constant speed. The first output shaft is connected to the first lead screw 22131 through a bevel gear transmission mechanism, and the second output shaft is connected to the second lead screw 22135 through a bevel gear transmission mechanism. Setting the first motor 22134 as a dual-output-shaft motor can further simplify the structure of the first drive assembly 2213, reduce the space occupied by the first drive assembly 2213, and make the structure of the UAV nest of this application more compact.

[0086] To facilitate control of the movement range of the first and second push rods and prevent damage to the drone 100 caused by the first and second push rods continuing to push against it after centering it approximately, in some embodiments of this application, the drone nest also includes a controller. A first limit sensor 81 is connected to the mounting platform 223. The first limit sensor 81 engages with one of the following: a first screw sleeve 22132, a second screw sleeve 22133, a third screw sleeve 22136, or a fourth screw sleeve 22137. Both the first motor 22134 and the first limit sensor 81 are connected to the controller. When the first limit sensor 81 is triggered, it indicates that the first and second push rods have centered the drone 100 approximately. The first limit sensor 81 sends an electrical signal to the controller, which then controls the first motor 22134 to stop rotating. The first limit sensor 81 can be a contact sensor or a Hall effect sensor.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, the second drive assembly 2223 includes a third lead screw 22231, a fifth threaded sleeve 22232, a sixth threaded sleeve 22233, and a second motor 22234; the third lead screw 22231 is connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 223 and extends in the front-rear direction; the third lead screw 22231 has a fifth threaded segment and a sixth threaded segment with opposite directions of rotation, the fifth threaded sleeve 22232 is sleeved on the fifth threaded segment, and the sixth threaded sleeve 22233 is sleeved on the sixth threaded segment; the lower end of the front moving assembly 2221 is connected to the fifth threaded sleeve 22232, and the upper end of the front moving assembly 2221 is connected to a pusher 21; the lower end of the rear moving assembly 2222 is connected to the sixth threaded sleeve 22233, and the upper end of the rear moving assembly 2222 is connected to another pusher 21; the second motor 22234 is connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 223, and the third lead screw 22231 is drively connected to the output shaft of the second motor 22234. The third lead screw 22231, through the fifth and sixth threaded sections with opposite rotation directions, in conjunction with the fifth and sixth threaded sleeves 22232 and 22233, can realize the synchronous reverse movement of the front moving component 2221 and the rear moving component 2222. The forward or reverse rotation of the second motor 22234 can make the front moving component 2221 and the rear moving component 2222 move closer or further away synchronously.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, the second drive assembly 2223 further includes a fourth lead screw 22235, a seventh threaded sleeve 22236, and an eighth threaded sleeve 22237; the fourth lead screw 22235 is connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 223 and is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the third lead screw 22231; the fourth lead screw 22235 has a seventh threaded segment and an eighth threaded segment with opposite directions of rotation, the seventh threaded sleeve 22236 is sleeved on the seventh threaded segment, and the eighth threaded sleeve 22237 is sleeved on the eighth threaded segment; the pusher 21 connected to the front moving assembly 2221 is a third push rod, the front moving assembly 2221 includes a fifth rod body 22211 and a sixth rod body 22212, the lower end of the fifth rod body 22211 is connected to the fifth threaded sleeve 22232, and the fifth rod body 22211... The upper end is connected to the left end of the third push rod, the lower end of the sixth rod body 22212 is connected to the seventh threaded sleeve 22236, and the upper end of the sixth rod body 22212 is connected to the right end of the third push rod; the pusher 21 connected to the rear moving assembly 2222 is the fourth push rod, the rear moving assembly 2222 includes the seventh rod body 22221 and the eighth rod body 22222, the lower end of the seventh rod body 22221 is connected to the sixth threaded sleeve 22233, the upper end of the seventh rod body 22221 is connected to the left end of the fourth push rod, the lower end of the eighth rod body 22222 is connected to the eighth threaded sleeve 22237, and the upper end of the eighth rod body 22222 is connected to the right end of the fourth push rod; the third lead screw 22231 and the fourth lead screw 22235 are both connected to the output shaft of the second motor 22234 for transmission.

[0089] Specifically, the stop platform 1 is provided with a second long groove 16 at the position opposite to the fifth rod 22211, the sixth rod 22212, the seventh rod 22221, and the eighth rod 22222. The second long groove 16 extends in the front-back direction. The mounting platform 223 is provided with a third long groove 2231 at the position opposite to the fifth rod 22211, the sixth rod 22212, the seventh rod 22221, and the eighth rod 22222. The third long groove 2231 extends in the front-back direction. The fifth rod 22211, the sixth rod 22212, the seventh rod 22221, and the eighth rod 22222 are located vertically. Inserted into the corresponding second long slot 16 and third long slot 2231, the third lead screw 22231 and the fourth lead screw 22235 are arranged in parallel and synchronously driven by the second motor 22234. The fifth rod 22211, the sixth rod 22212 and the third push rod form a door frame structure. The seventh rod 22221, the eighth rod 22222 and the fourth push rod also form a door frame structure, which greatly enhances the torsional performance and structural rigidity of the third push rod and the fourth push rod. During the jacking process, the third push rod and the fourth push rod are not prone to deformation or shaking, ensuring the linearity and stability of the centering action and improving the positioning accuracy. Furthermore, in this application, the third lead screw 22231 and the fourth lead screw 22235 are driven by the same second motor 22234, which can ensure that the rotation speeds of the third lead screw 22231 and the fourth lead screw 22235 are consistent, thereby ensuring that the fifth rod 22211 and the sixth rod 22212 move at the same speed, and the seventh rod 22221 and the eighth rod 22222 move at the same speed, avoiding the tilting of the third push member 21 or the fourth push member 21 due to unilateral movement lag.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, the second motor 22234 is a dual-output-shaft motor. The second motor 22234 has a third output shaft and a fourth output shaft rotating at the same speed. The third output shaft is connected to the third lead screw 22231 through a bevel gear transmission mechanism, and the fourth output shaft is connected to the fourth lead screw 22235 through a bevel gear transmission mechanism. Setting the second motor 22234 as a dual-output-shaft motor can further simplify the structure of the second drive assembly 2223, reduce the space occupied by the second drive assembly 2223, and make the structure of the UAV nest of this application more compact.

[0091] To facilitate control over the movement range of the third and fourth push rods, in some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 13 , Figure 14As shown, the mounting platform 223 is connected to a second limit sensor 82. The second limit sensor 82 engages with one of the following: the fifth screw sleeve 22232, the sixth screw sleeve 22233, the seventh screw sleeve 22236, and the eighth screw sleeve 22237. Both the second motor 22234 and the second limit sensor 82 are connected to the controller. When the second limit sensor 82 is triggered, it indicates that the third and fourth push rods have centered the UAV 100. The second limit sensor 82 sends an electrical signal to the controller, which then stops the second motor 22234 from rotating. The second limit sensor 82 can be a contact sensor or a Hall effect sensor.

[0092] The drone nest of this application includes a landing platform 1, a centering mechanism 2, and a first air supply component 31. The landing platform 1 has a charging area 11 in the middle for charging the drone 100, and a first ventilation opening 101 on one side of the drone 100. The centering mechanism 2 includes a drive mechanism 22 and a plurality of pushers 21. The drive mechanism 22 is connected to the landing platform 1, and each pusher 21 is connected to the drive mechanism 22. Each pusher 21 is located outside the charging area 11 and arranged around the charging area 11. The first air supply component 31 is connected to the pusher 21 opposite to the first ventilation opening 101, and the first air supply component 31 has a first air outlet 311 arranged toward the first ventilation opening 101.
