Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) supporting facilities technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable-layer UAV hangar and its operating system. Background Technology

[0002] The booming expansion of the drone market has directly spurred a significant increase in demand for drone-related infrastructure. Drone hangars play an irreplaceable role in several key areas:

[0003] In terms of power line inspection, drone hangars enable drones to conduct automated and detailed inspections of power facilities, promptly identify and warn of potential safety risks, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the power system.

[0004] In urban planning, drone hangars provide crucial data such as topographic mapping and building status monitoring, which provide a solid basis for the scientific planning and development of cities.

[0005] In the field of environmental monitoring and protection, the drone hangar supports drones in conducting efficient aerial patrols, monitoring environmental pollution, and tracking wildlife migration routes, providing strong support for ecological and environmental protection efforts.

[0006] In terms of agricultural and forestry management, the application of drone hangars covers multiple aspects such as crop growth monitoring and pest and disease control, effectively improving the efficiency of agricultural production and enhancing the scientific nature of forestry resource management.

[0007] In traffic monitoring and rescue operations, drone hangars can respond quickly to traffic accidents and natural disasters, providing real-time aerial monitoring and precise rescue guidance, thus gaining valuable time for rescue operations.

[0008] In the field of public safety, drone hangars also play an important role, significantly improving the efficiency and response speed of security monitoring in tasks such as border patrol and counter-terrorism investigation.

[0009] However, in the existing technology, when faced with multiple parallel tasks, the cost of drone equipment is high. At the same time, when multiple drones need to perform the same task in parallel, multiple identical drone hangars need to be deployed. Moreover, each drone needs to be equipped with an independent hangar. These independent hangars occupy a lot of space, and the functional modules of these independent hangars overlap, resulting in high equipment costs and a waste of a lot of hardware costs. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The purpose of this application is to provide an adjustable-layer hangar and its operating system, which can reduce the floor space required for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and save on hardware costs.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an adjustable-layer drone hangar, including an operational hangar layer, a first support hangar layer, and a power module. The operational hangar layer has a accommodating chamber for accommodating a take-off and landing platform, which provides a foundation for drone take-off and landing, and the drone can land on the platform. The number of operational hangar layers is at least one. The first support hangar layer is detachably connected to the operational hangar layer, and the operational hangar layer and the first support hangar layer are stacked along a predetermined direction.

[0019] In one embodiment, the temperature control module is disposed in the first protective storage layer, and the temperature control module is used to adjust the internal temperature of the working storage layer, the first protective storage layer and / or the second protective storage layer.

[0020] In one embodiment, the first protective tank layer is provided with a heat exchange medium discharge port and a heat exchange medium return port. The temperature control module can heat and cool the heat exchange medium.

[0021] In one embodiment, an access passage is provided on the side wall of the work storage layer, and the take-off and landing platform can drive the UAV through the access passage so that the UAV can enter and exit the receiving chamber of the work storage layer.

[0022] In one embodiment, the work bay layer further includes a cantilever with a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the lifting platform, and the first end can rotate the lifting platform with the second end as the rotation center, so that the lifting platform can enter or exit the receiving chamber from the access passage.

[0023] In one embodiment, when there are two or more work storage layers and they are stacked along the preset direction, the first ends of at least two work storage layers have different rotation angles, so that the projections of at least two landing platforms on the first plane are spaced apart; the rotation angle is the rotation angle of the first end rotating from the housing chamber to the outside of the housing chamber with the second end as the rotation center, and the first plane is a plane perpendicular to the preset direction.

[0024] In one embodiment, when two or more job storage layers are provided, the second end of one job storage layer can be detachably connected to the second end of the other job storage layer between two adjacent job storage layers.

[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0052] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0053] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0054] Firstly, embodiments of this application provide an adjustable-layer drone hangar, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it includes a work library layer 100, a power module, and a first protection library layer 200.

[0055] The operational storage layer 100 has a housing chamber 150 for accommodating the take-off and landing platform 130, which provides a basis for the take-off and landing of the UAV 400, and the UAV 400 can land on the take-off and landing platform 130.

[0056] For example, when there are two or more job library layers 100, the job library layers 100 can be stacked together along a preset direction, which is parallel to the vertical direction. However, in another embodiment, there is an angle α between the preset direction and the vertical direction, where 0° < α < 180°, for example, α = 45°, 60° or 90°. It is understood that in other embodiments, the preset direction can also be a horizontal direction, that is, the preset direction is not limited to the vertical direction.

[0057] The work storage layer 100 and the first support storage layer 200 are detachably connected, and the work storage layer 100 and the first support storage layer 200 are stacked along a preset direction.

[0058] A power module is installed in the first protection storage layer 200. The power module is capable of providing electrical energy to each storage layer; exemplarily, the power module can provide electrical energy to both the first protection storage layer 200 and each working storage layer 100. Exemplarily, the power module includes, but is not limited to, energy storage units and / or generators. The power module is constructed by arranging multiple energy storage stacks, where energy storage units are arranged in a predetermined direction. Energy storage units are, for example, secondary batteries such as nickel-metal hydride batteries or lithium-ion batteries. Energy storage units can use liquid electrolytes or solid electrolytes. Alternatively, energy storage units can also be configured as unit capacitors capable of storing electricity.

[0059] The number of job library layers 100 must be at least one.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, when one work storage layer 100 is provided, the work storage layer 100 and the first support storage layer 200 are stacked along a preset direction, which is parallel to the vertical direction. However, in another embodiment, the preset direction and the vertical direction are at an angle α, where α = 90°, that is, the work storage layer 100 and the first support storage layer 200 are stacked along the horizontal direction.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, two work storage layers 100 are provided, and the work storage layer 100 and the first support storage layer 200 are stacked along a preset direction, which is parallel to the vertical direction. However, in another embodiment, as... Figure 11 As shown, the preset direction and the vertical direction have an angle α, where α = 90°, meaning that the work storage layer 100 and the first support storage layer 200 are stacked horizontally. Of course, as... Figure 8 or Figure 9As shown, the number of work storage layers 100 can be set to three, four or five, and adjacent work storage layers 100 can be directly disassembled and connected. The preset direction can be parallel to the vertical direction or have an angle α.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the work storage layer 100 is a cylindrical shell structure, and the first protection storage layer 200 is correspondingly configured as a cylindrical shell structure. In other embodiments, the work storage layer 100 is a polygonal prism shell structure, and the first protection storage layer 200 is correspondingly configured as a polygonal prism shell structure. The polygonal prism shell structure may be, for example, a triangular prism shell structure, a square prism shell structure, or a pentagonal prism shell structure.

[0063] In this application, by employing a detachable connection method, the first support hangar layer 200 and the operation hangar layer 100 can be flexibly assembled and disassembled, as well as the operation hangar layers 100 can be connected. This not only reduces the space occupied by the overall structure, but also makes the hangar more adaptable to various deployment scenarios, including areas with limited space.

[0064] Thanks to its modular and detachable design, the hangar has relatively low construction and maintenance costs. Furthermore, by sharing a single first support hangar level 200 to serve multiple operational hangar levels 100, costs are further reduced and resource utilization efficiency is improved.

[0065] In one embodiment, the adjustable-layer drone hangar also includes a charging module, which is located in the work hangar layer 100. The power module is electrically connected to the charging module, the power module supplies power to the charging module, and the charging module charges the drone 400.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the drone hangar with adjustable number of layers further includes a second support layer 300, and the first support layer 200, the operation layer 100, and the second support layer 300 are stacked and distributed along a preset direction.

[0067] The second support storage layer 300 can be detachably connected to the working storage layer 100. The detachable connection between the second support storage layer 300 and the working storage layer 100 makes the overall structure more flexible, allowing for assembly or disassembly as needed, thereby making more efficient use of space resources.

[0068] A backup landing platform 310 is provided on the second support storage layer 300. The backup landing platform 310 can provide a backup landing point for the drone 400. For example, the second support storage layer 300 has a connecting end face and a backup landing end face; the connecting end face is detachably connected to the operating storage layer 100, and the backup landing end face is provided with the backup landing platform 310.

[0069] By introducing a second backup storage layer 300 and an alternate landing platform 310 thereon, an additional alternate landing point is provided for the UAV 400. This is especially important when the UAV 400 encounters an emergency or needs to make a temporary landing, thus improving the safety and reliability of the UAV 400.

[0070] For example, the second protection layer 300 and the operation layer 100 are respectively configured as cylindrical shell structures or polygonal shell structures.

[0071] The adjustable-layer drone hangar also includes a positioning module capable of communicating and providing location information to the drone 400. Exemplarily, the positioning module is integrated into the second support hangar layer 300; in another embodiment, it is integrated into the first support hangar layer 200; and in yet another embodiment, it is integrated into the work hangar layer 100. In still another embodiment, the positioning module is separately located in the first support hangar layer 200, the second support hangar layer 300, and the work hangar layer 100.

[0072] The positioning module sends location information to external devices, such as drone 400, so that drone 400 can accurately return to the work warehouse layer 100, or can accurately land on the backup landing platform 310.

[0073] like Figure 2 or Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, when two or more job library layers 100 are provided, adjacent job library layers 100 can be detachably connected.

[0074] The number of work storage layers 100 can be increased or decreased in the first support storage layer 200 and the second support storage layer 300. For example, as... Figure 5 As shown, one work storage layer 100 is initially set. When the demand for work storage layers 100 increases to four, three more work storage layers 100 can be added between the first support storage layer 200 and the second support storage layer 300, resulting in a total of four work storage layers 100 stacked along a preset direction. For example, as shown... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, four operational storage layers 100 are arranged between the first support storage layer 200 and the second support storage layer 300. When the demand for operational storage layers 100 is reduced to one, three operational storage layers 100 can be removed between the first support storage layer 200 and the second support storage layer 300, as follows. Figure 5 As shown, it is sufficient to maintain a working warehouse layer 100 between the first support warehouse layer 200 and the second support warehouse layer 300.

[0075] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the alternate landing platform 310 is a concave groove structure. The concave groove structure can be adapted to the drone 400. The sidewalls of the concave groove structure of the alternate landing platform 310 can limit the drone 400, prevent it from shaking on the alternate landing platform 310, and provide positioning for the drone 400 to land, thereby improving the stability of the drone 400 during the alternate landing process.

[0076] like Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, drainage pipes 240 are fixedly installed on each storage layer, and the corresponding drainage pipes 240 are connected through each other when the storage layers are connected. Exemplarily, the drainage pipes 240 are disposed in the inner wall of each storage layer, but in another embodiment, the drainage pipes 240 are separately disposed from the inner wall of each storage layer.

[0077] Drainage pipe 240 is used to drain accumulated water from the concave trough structure of the backup landing platform 310. For example, a drainage pipe 240 is provided on the second backup storage layer 300, and the inlet of the drainage pipe 240 is connected to the bottom of the concave trough structure of the backup landing platform 310. Accumulated water can be discharged into the drainage pipe 240 from the inlet. A drainage pipe 240 is also provided on the working storage layer 100, and the drainage pipe 240 of the working storage layer 100 is connected to the drainage pipe 240 of the second backup storage layer 300 through a male-female joint. Water in the drainage pipe 240 of the second backup storage layer 300 enters the working storage layer 100. The drainage pipe 240 on the 0th floor is connected to the drainage pipe 240 on the first protection layer 200. The drainage pipe 240 on the working layer 100 is also connected to the drainage pipe 240 on the first protection layer 200 through a male-female joint. Water from the drainage pipe 240 on the working layer 100 can be discharged into the drainage pipe 240 in the first protection layer 200. The outlet of the drainage pipe 240 on the first protection layer 200 is connected to the outside, so that water in the first protection layer 200 can be discharged from the hangar to the outside.

[0078] In one embodiment, the adjustable-layer drone hangar further includes a control module, a communication module, an environmental monitoring module, and a temperature control module; the control module is electrically connected to the positioning module, the communication module, the environmental monitoring module, and the temperature control module.

[0079] The control module includes, but is not limited to: a central processing unit (CPU), a programmable logic controller (PLC), or an electronic device with logic control functions.

[0080] For example, the control module can be integrated into the job storage layer 100 or into the first support storage layer 200. Of course, it can also be separately installed in the job storage layer 100 and the first support storage layer 200 or the second support storage layer 300.

[0081] The control module establishes a communication connection with external devices, such as the UAV 400, satellites, and mobile / fixed terminals, through a communication module within the adjustable-layer UAV hangar. This communication module, connected to the control module, enables information exchange between the adjustable-layer UAV hangar and external devices. This configuration allows the adjustable-layer UAV hangar to acquire and transmit critical data in real time, improving the overall system's communication efficiency and response speed. By introducing the communication module, the adjustable-layer UAV hangar can monitor and record the UAV 400's operational status and location information in real time, facilitating smooth data interaction between the UAV 400 and the hangar. This helps in the timely detection and handling of potential safety hazards, enhancing the safety and reliability of the UAV 400.

[0082] For example, the communication module includes, but is not limited to, a wired connection module and a wireless connection module.

[0083] Wired connection modules include, but are not limited to: Ethernet modules, USB (Universal Serial Bus) modules, serial port modules, IEEE 1394 / FireWire modules, or fiber optic communication modules.

[0084] Wireless connectivity modules include, but are not limited to: cellular communication modules, Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, ZigBee modules, LoRa (Long Range) modules, NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) modules, UWB (Ultra-Wideband) modules, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) modules, infrared communication modules, satellite communication modules, RF wireless data communication modules, or 2.4GHz wireless transceiver modules, etc.

[0085] For example, the communication module is located in the first support layer 200. In another embodiment, the communication module is located in the second support layer 300. In yet another embodiment, the communication module is located in the job database layer 100.

[0086] The control module is electrically connected to the positioning module. After acquiring the position parameters, the positioning module sends the position parameters to the control module. The control module then sends these parameters to external devices, such as drones (e.g., UAVs).

[0087] The environmental monitoring module acquires environmental parameters and sends them to the control module. The control module then transmits these parameters to external devices, such as drones (e.g., UAVs), via a communication module. The environmental parameters acquired by the monitoring module include, but are not limited to, wind speed, wind direction, hangar interior / exterior temperature, and hangar interior / exterior humidity.

[0088] For example, the environmental monitoring module includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: an anemometer, a temperature detector, a humidity detector, etc.

[0089] For example, the environmental monitoring module is integrated into the first support layer 200. In another embodiment, the environmental monitoring module is integrated into the second support layer 300. In yet another embodiment, the environmental monitoring module is integrated into the work storage layer 100. However, in yet another embodiment, the environmental monitoring module is separately disposed in the first support layer 200, the second support layer 300, and the work storage layer 100.

[0090] After receiving the environmental parameters sent by the environmental detection module, the control module transmits them to external devices, such as UAV 400, through the communication module. Upon receiving the environmental parameters, UAV 400 adjusts its flight parameters to ensure landing safety and efficiency.

[0091] Adjustable-layer drone hangars can be deployed in a variety of environments, including areas with harsh climates and complex terrain. By incorporating environmental monitoring modules, changes in these environmental factors can be monitored in real time, allowing for appropriate adjustments as needed. This enhances the environmental adaptability of the adjustable-layer drone hangar and improves its operational efficiency and reliability under different conditions.

[0092] The environmental monitoring module allows the adjustable-layer drone hangar to more accurately understand the surrounding environment, enabling more efficient resource utilization. For example, in strong winds, the drone 400 can choose a more suitable landing strategy to reduce energy consumption and wear. Simultaneously, by monitoring parameters such as temperature and humidity, the hangar's environmental conditions can be optimized, providing better protection and storage for the drone 400.

[0093] The coordinated operation of the environmental monitoring module, control module, and communication module significantly improves the automation level of the adjustable-layer UAV hangar. By monitoring and feeding back environmental parameters in real time, the UAV 400 can achieve autonomous navigation and landing control, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the overall system's operational efficiency and accuracy.

[0094] Furthermore, the control module is electrically connected to the power module to control its start and stop. The control module turns on the power module to power the charging module, which then charges the UAV 400. The control module's electrical connection to the power module allows for centralized management of the power supply and operating status of the work warehouse layer 100. This design simplifies power system management, improves overall operational efficiency, and ensures the safe charging of the UAV 400.

[0095] The temperature control module is used to regulate the internal temperature of the operating layer 100, the first protective layer 200, and the second protective layer 300, through methods such as heating or cooling. The control module is also electrically connected to the temperature control module and can control its activation, deactivation, and power. For example, the environmental detection module detects the temperature inside the operating layer 100. When the temperature inside the operating layer 100 is too high, the control module activates the temperature control module to cool the operating layer 100. When the temperature inside the operating layer 100 is too low, the control module activates the temperature control module to heat the operating layer 100, ensuring the safe operation of the UAV 400. Of course, the environmental detection module can also detect the temperature of the first protective layer 200 or the second protective layer 300 (internal or external).

[0096] For example, the temperature control module is disposed in the first protective storage layer 200. In another embodiment, the temperature control module is disposed in the second protective storage layer 300. The technical solution of this application will be described below with the example of the temperature control module being disposed in the first protective storage layer 200.

[0097] like Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the first protection tank layer 200 is provided with a heat exchange medium discharge port 220 and a heat exchange medium return port 230.

[0098] The temperature control module can heat and cool the heat exchange medium. For example, the heat exchange medium includes, but is not limited to, air and water. The technical solution of this application will be described below using air as an example of the heat exchange medium.

[0099] The temperature control module is installed in the first protection layer 200. The temperature control module delivers heat exchange medium to the outside through the heat exchange medium outlet 220. The outside is, for example, the working layer 100, the first protection layer 200, and the second protection layer 300. After the heat exchange medium enters the outside environment, it exchanges heat with the external entities. When the temperature of the heat exchange medium is higher than the temperature of the outside, the heat exchange medium heats the outside. When the temperature of the heat exchange medium is lower than the temperature of the outside, the heat exchange medium can cool the outside.

[0100] The heat exchange medium can be returned to the temperature control module through the heat exchange medium return port 230, ensuring that the temperature control module can continuously obtain the heat exchange medium.

[0101] The working storage layer 100 is provided with a temperature regulating channel communicating with the heat exchange medium outlet 220. The heat exchange medium can flow in the temperature regulating channel to regulate the temperature of the internal space of the working storage layer 100. In one embodiment, the second protective storage layer 300 is provided with a temperature regulating channel communicating with the heat exchange medium outlet 220. The heat exchange medium can flow in the temperature regulating channel to regulate the temperature of the internal space of the second protective storage layer 300.

[0102] like Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, an access passage 110 is provided on the side wall of the work storage layer 100, and the receiving chamber 150 can be connected to the external space through the access passage 110; the take-off and landing platform 130 can drive the drone 400 through the access passage 110, so that the drone 400 can enter and exit the receiving chamber 150 of the work storage layer 100, thereby reducing the risk of the drone 400 crashing.

[0103] A hangar door 120 is provided on the access passage 110. The hangar door 120 can open or close the access passage 110.

[0104] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the job library layer 100 also includes a cantilever 140.

[0105] The cantilever 140 has a first end 142 and a second end 144 that are fixedly connected to each other. The first end 142 is connected to the lifting platform 130. For example, the first end 142 and the lifting platform 130 are fixedly connected by welding, snap-fitting, threaded connection, bolt connection, adhesive bonding or integral molding.

[0106] The first end 142 of the cantilever 140 can drive the landing platform 130 to rotate with the second end 144 as the rotation center, so that the landing platform 130 can enter or exit the receiving chamber 150 from the access passage 110.

[0107] For example, in this embodiment, the second end 144 of the cantilever 140 is detachably rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the access passage 110. However, in other embodiments, the second end 144 of the cantilever 140 is detachably rotatably mounted on the first storage layer 200 or the second storage layer 300.

[0108] During operation, initially, the hangar door 120 is closed, the cantilever 140 and the landing platform 130 are located in the receiving chamber 150, and the drone 400 is located on the landing platform 130. When the drone 400 needs to be used, the hangar door 120 is opened, and the first end 142 of the cantilever 140 rotates around the second end 144. The rotation of the cantilever 140 causes the landing platform 130 to rotate around the second end 144, causing the landing platform 130 to rotate and move out of the receiving chamber 150. The rotation of the landing platform 130 then causes the drone 400 to move out of the receiving chamber 150. The drone 400 takes off; when the drone 400 needs to be recovered into the receiving chamber 150 of the work hangar layer 100, the drone 400 first lands on the take-off and landing platform 130 located outside the receiving chamber 150. The first end 142 of the cantilever 140 rotates around the second end 144 and approaches the receiving chamber 150. The rotation of the first end 142 drives the take-off and landing platform 130 and the drone 400 to rotate and approach the receiving chamber 150, so that the take-off and landing platform 130 and the drone 400 enter the receiving chamber 150 of the work hangar layer 100. Then the hangar door 120 closes.

[0109] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, in one embodiment, when there are two or more work storage layers 100 and they are stacked and distributed along a preset direction, the first ends 142 of at least two work storage layers 100 have different turning angles, so that the projections of at least two take-off and landing platforms 130 on the first plane are spaced apart, thereby reducing mutual interference between the UAVs 400 during take-off and landing between different work storage layers 100.

[0110] The rotation angle is the rotation angle of the first end 142 rotating from inside the receiving chamber 150 to outside the receiving chamber 150 with the second end 144 as the rotation center, and the first plane is a plane perpendicular to the preset direction.

[0111] When a drone 400 takes off or lands, it disturbs the air near the hangar. The disturbed air can affect the takeoff and landing of another drone 400. Therefore, the first end 142 of different working hangar layers 100 has a different turning angle, which can maximize the distance between the takeoff and landing platforms 130 of different working hangar layers 100 and reduce mutual interference.

[0112] For example, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, three work storage layers 100 are provided, and the rotation angles of the first ends 142 of the three work storage layers 100 are 90°, 180°, and 270°, respectively. For example, as... Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, four work storage layers 100 are provided, and the rotation angles of the first ends 142 of the four work storage layers 100 are 60°, 120°, 180° and 240° respectively.

[0113] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, when two or more work storage layers 100 are provided, the second end 144 of one work storage layer 100 can be detachably connected to the second end 144 of the other work storage layer 100 between two adjacent work storage layers 100. The detachable connection includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection, bolt connection or snap-fit ​​connection.

[0114] For example, the second end 144 is arranged along a preset direction, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the second end 144 has a first connecting end 162 and a second connecting end 164, which are arranged sequentially along a preset direction. For example, three work storage layers 100 are provided, and the three work storage layers 100 are named the first layer, the second layer and the third layer respectively along the preset direction. Then, the first connecting end 162 of the second end 144 of the second layer can be detachably connected to the second connecting end 164 of the second end 144 of the first layer, and the second connecting end 164 of the second end 144 of the second layer can be detachably connected to the first connecting end 162 of the first end 142 of the third layer.

[0115] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the adjustable-layer drone hangar further includes a connecting frame 210, which includes a first sub-frame 212 and a second sub-frame 214. The first sub-frame 212 is fixedly mounted on the first support hangar layer 200, allowing the operation hangar layer 100 to be indirectly mounted on the first support hangar layer 200 via the first sub-frame 212. For example, the second connecting end 164 of the second end 144 of the operation hangar layer 100 is detachably mounted on the first sub-frame 212.

[0116] like Figure 5 As shown, the second sub-frame 214 is fixedly mounted on the second support storage layer 300, allowing the work storage layer 100 to be indirectly mounted on the second support storage layer 300 via the second sub-frame 214. For example, the first connecting end 162 of the second end 144 of the work storage layer 100 is detachably mounted on the second sub-frame 214.

[0117] For example, such as Figure 5As shown, the first sub-frame 212 and the second sub-frame 214 provide installation positions for the second end 144 of the cantilever 140. For example, the second connecting end 164 of the second end 144 of the work storage layer 100 is detachably mounted on the first sub-frame 212, and the first connecting end 162 of the second end 144 of the work storage layer 100 is detachably mounted on the second sub-frame 214. Detachable connections include, but are not limited to, threaded connections, bolted connections, or snap-fit ​​connections.

[0118] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting frame 210 further includes a first connecting plate 216 and a second connecting plate 218.

[0119] One end of the first connecting plate 216 is fixedly connected to the first support storage layer 200, and the first sub-frame 212 is fixedly installed on the other end of the first connecting plate 216, so that the first sub-frame 212 is fixedly installed on the first support storage layer 200 through the first connecting plate 216. Exemplarily, the first connecting plate 216 is fixedly installed on the first support storage layer 200 by welding, gluing, snap-fitting, bolting, integral molding, or riveting, and the first sub-frame 212 is fixedly installed on the first connecting plate 216 by welding, gluing, snap-fitting, bolting, integral molding, or riveting.

[0120] One end of the second connecting plate 218 is fixedly connected to the second storage layer 300, and the second sub-frame 214 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second connecting plate 218, so that the second sub-frame 214 is fixedly installed on the second storage layer 300 through the second connecting plate 218. Exemplarily, the second connecting plate 218 is fixedly installed on the second storage layer 300 by welding, gluing, snap-fitting, bolting, integral molding, or riveting, and the second sub-frame 214 is fixedly installed on the second connecting plate 218 by welding, gluing, snap-fitting, bolting, integral molding, or riveting.

[0121] The first connecting plate 216 and the second connecting plate 218 increase the rotation radius of the first end 142, thereby increasing the rotation radius of the take-off and landing platform 130. This increases the distance between the take-off and landing platforms 130 of different work storage layers 100, which can reduce mutual interference between the UAVs 400 during take-off and landing of different work storage layers 100.

[0122] The first connecting plate 216 and the second connecting plate 218 are, for example, fan-shaped plate structures, but of course, they can also be plate structures of other shapes, such as rectangles.

[0123] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an operating system including a drone 400 and a drone hangar with an adjustable number of layers as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0124] like Figure 3As shown, there is at least one drone 400. The drone 400 can dock on the take-off and landing platform 130, and the take-off and landing platform 130 can move the drone 400 in and out of the receiving chamber 150.

[0125] The operating system provided in this application allows for flexible assembly and disassembly between the first support layer 200 and the operating layer 100, as well as among the operating layers 100 themselves. This reduces the space occupied by the overall structure and makes the operating system more adaptable to various deployment scenarios, including areas with limited space. Due to its modular and detachable design, the operating system has relatively low construction and maintenance costs. Furthermore, by sharing a single first support layer 200 to provide services to multiple operating layers 100, costs are further reduced and resource utilization efficiency is improved.

[0126] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0127] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
