Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] It should also be understood that the terms used in this utility model specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model. As used in this utility model specification and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0033] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0034] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a UAV take-off and landing device 100, including an airport bracket 10 and a plurality of first airports 20. A plurality of layers of accommodating cavities 11 are arranged in the airport bracket 10 along the vertical direction. The airport bracket 10 is provided with a plurality of openings 12 connecting the layers of accommodating cavities 11 along the vertical direction. The plurality of openings 12 are respectively located on different sides of the airport bracket 10. Each first airport 20 is arranged in a corresponding opening 12 and can be retracted into the accommodating cavity 11 or extended from the accommodating cavity 11 along the opening 12.

[0035] In this embodiment, a multi-layer accommodating cavity 11 is provided in the airport support 10, which is arranged in the vertical direction for storing drones. In addition, there are multiple openings 12 on the airport support 10, which are distributed on different sides, and the directions of the openings 12 correspond to the accommodating cavities 11 of each layer. Each first airport 20 is installed in the corresponding opening 12, and can be extended and retracted along the opening 12, that is, it can be extended for drone take-off and landing, and can also be retracted into the accommodating cavity 11. The drone take-off and landing device 100 of the utility model can support the operation of multiple airports at the same time, without queuing, which greatly improves the work efficiency of the airport.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 1 1 shows the storage state of the UAV landing device 100 (ie, the first airport 20 is retracted into the accommodating cavity 11). In the storage state, the overall shape of the UAV landing device 100 is a rectangular parallelepiped; Figure 2What is shown in the figure is the unfolded state of the UAV take-off and landing device 100 (i.e., the first airport 20 extends out from the accommodating chamber 11). In the unfolded state, the overall shape of the UAV take-off and landing device 100 is similar to a "cross". Each first airport 20 is unfolded from the side in different directions, and there is no overlap between the first airports 20. In the unfolded state, the UAV can complete GPS satellite search and self-inspection in the first airport 20, and then the script can be uploaded by the ground station, take off, and perform the performance task. Each first airport 20 is placed in the corresponding opening 12, and can be extended to the outside along the corresponding opening 12 for the take-off and landing of the UAV, or retracted into the accommodating chamber 11 as needed to save space and protect the UAV. Each first airport 20 can accommodate multiple UAVs at the same time. For example, in this embodiment, each first airport 20 can accommodate 4 UAVs at the same time.

[0037] In the present invention, the airport support 10 of the drone landing device 100 is made of glass fiber composite material, and high-density foam is sandwiched in the structure, so that the airport support 10 has high strength, light weight, no signal shielding and good heat insulation effect. The first airport 20 uses foam material as the base material, and the landing platform of the first airport 20 uses plastic material, which has the characteristics of lightness and high strength. Of course, other materials can also be selected for production according to specific actual needs.

[0038] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a slide rail 111 is provided in each layer of the accommodating cavity 11 within the airport bracket 10, and the direction of each slide rail 111 is the same as the moving direction of the corresponding first airport 20, and a slide groove 21 for sliding in the corresponding slide rail 111 is provided at the bottom of each first airport 20.

[0039] In this embodiment, each layer of the accommodating cavity 11 in the airport support 10 is equipped with a slide rail 111, and the direction of these slide rails 111 is consistent with the moving direction of each first airport 20. For example, if the moving direction of one of the first airports 20 is to slide out from the left side of the airport support 10, then the direction of its corresponding slide rail 111 is also distributed from left to right; the number of slide rails 111 can be set according to actual needs. A slide groove 21 is provided at the bottom of each first airport 20, and the slide groove 21 can match the corresponding slide rail 111, so that the first airport 20 can slide on the slide rail 111.

[0040] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the slide rail 111 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and strong, and is very suitable for environments with frequent use. The slide rail 111 is installed on the landing pad bracket 10 and cooperates with the slide groove 21 at the bottom of the first landing pad 20. This design structure can not only bear the weight of the first landing pad 20, but also ensure that the extension and retraction process of the first landing pad 20 is smoother. The use of the aluminum alloy slide rail 111 enhances the stability and durability of the entire UAV landing and take-off device 100, while providing a smooth sliding mechanism, making the operation of the UAV during take-off, landing and storage more efficient and safe. In addition, this sliding structure also simplifies the storage and retrieval process of the UAV. When the UAV needs to take off or land, the first landing pad 20 can easily slide out or slide in from the accommodating cavity 11, greatly reducing the need for manual operation and improving overall operating efficiency.

[0041] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a driving device is arranged in each layer of the accommodating cavity 11 in the airport bracket 10, and the driving device includes a driving member 112 and a driving rod 113 connected to the driving member 112 at one end, and the driving rod 113 is arranged along the moving direction of the corresponding first airport 20, and the other end of the driving rod 113 is connected to the corresponding first airport 20.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first airport 20 can be automatically moved under the control of the driving device. When the driving member 112 is running, it drives the driving rod 113, thereby pushing the first airport 20 to move along the slide rail 111. The driving rod 113 is usually arranged parallel to the slide rail 111. The use of this automatic mechanism reduces the dependence on manual operation and improves the efficiency and accuracy of the operation. Especially in large-scale drone performances, the take-off, landing and storage of drones can be carried out quickly and accurately.

[0043] Specifically, the driving member 112 is usually a driving motor, and each first airport 20 is correspondingly provided with a driving motor to independently control the sliding of the first airport 20 of each layer on the airport support 10. The driving motor is usually arranged on the other side opposite to the opening 12. For example, if the first airport 20 slides out from the left side of the airport support 10, the driving motor is arranged on the right side of the airport support 10, so that the driving motor will not affect the sliding of the first airport 20.

[0044] In one embodiment, the driving rod 113 is a screw rod, and the driving device further includes a coupling 114 . One end of the screw rod is connected to the coupling 114 , and the other end is connected to a slider of the corresponding first airport 20 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the screw rod is generally made of stainless steel and is used as a key component for connecting and driving the first airfield 20 in the airfield bracket 10. One end of the screw rod is connected to the coupling 114, and the other end is connected to the slider of the first airfield 20, so that the first airfield 20 can slide accurately along a predetermined path under the push of the screw rod, thereby achieving smooth take-off and landing of the UAV. The coupling 114 is used to correct the eccentricity caused by the installation error between the screw rod and the driving member 112.

[0046] Specifically, the driving member 112 provides rotational power, and the coupling 114 connects the screw and the driving member 112. The coupling 114 ensures that the power transmission from the driving member 112 to the screw is smooth and synchronous, while reducing mechanical wear. The screw converts the rotational power of the driving member 112 into linear power, which is used to push or pull the first airport 20 to achieve its movement along a predetermined path.

[0047] In one embodiment, four openings 12 are provided, which are respectively located at four sides of the airport support 10 , and four first airports 20 are provided, which are respectively disposed in corresponding openings 12 .

[0048] In this embodiment, there are four openings 12 on the side of the airport bracket 10, which are respectively located on the sides of the airport bracket 10 in four different directions. The number of first airports 20 matches the number of openings 12, and there are four first airports 20, each of which is respectively set in a corresponding opening 12 (that is, the first airport 20 is located in the accommodating cavity 11 when stored). All four first airports 20 can operate simultaneously, so that multiple drones can take off and land at the same time; or, according to actual needs, only some of the first airports 20 can be operated.

[0049] In one embodiment, side shielding sheets 13 are disposed on each side of the first airport 20 corresponding to each opening 12 , and the side shielding sheets 13 can be opened and closed and connected to the corresponding opening 12 .

[0050] In this embodiment, when the airport support 10 is in the unfolded state, the side shielding sheet 13 is opened, so that the first airport 20 can slide out from the opening 12; and when the airport support 10 is in the stored state, the side shielding sheet 13 is closed, and the side shielding sheet 13 blocks the opening 12 to protect the internal components from external factors, such as accidental impact. In addition, when the side shielding sheet 13 is closed, it can also play a good waterproof and dustproof effect.

[0051] In one embodiment, the side shielding piece 13 is connected to the corresponding opening 12 in a rotatable manner.

[0052] In this embodiment, the side shielding sheet 13 can rotate around the axis point on the airport bracket 10, so as to open or close the opening 12 when needed. For example, when the first airport 20 needs to be used, the side shielding sheet 13 rotates downward to reveal the opening 12, and the first airport 20 slides out from the opening 12 to provide space for the take-off and landing of the drone; after the operation is completed, the side shielding sheet 13 can be rotated again to close the opening 12. Of course, the rotation direction of the side shielding sheet 13 can also be upward, left, or right to cooperate with the opening 12.

[0053] Combination Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the UAV take-off and landing device 100 further includes a second airport 30 , and the second airport 30 is disposed on the top of the airport bracket 10 .

[0054] In this embodiment, in addition to the first airport 20, the drone landing and take-off device 100 also includes a second airport 30, which is arranged on the top of the airport support 10. The second airport 30 located on the top of the airport support 10 does not need to be provided with an airport sliding function. The setting of the second airport 30 provides additional take-off and landing space, increasing the overall drone capacity of the drone landing and take-off device 100. Since the second airport 30 is located at the top, the second airport 30 can be used to handle drones with higher priority or special needs, such as drones for emergency take-off and landing or special missions.

[0055] In one embodiment, a top shielding sheet 14 is disposed above the second airport 30 , and the top shielding sheet 14 is openably connected to the top of the airport support 10 .

[0056] In this embodiment, a top shielding sheet 14 is provided above the second airport 30, and the top shielding sheet 14 covers the top of the airport support 10. The top shielding sheet 14 is designed to provide protection for the second airport 30 from external environmental factors, such as weather conditions. The role and function of the top shielding sheet 14 can refer to the combination of the side shielding sheet 13.

[0057] In one embodiment, the top shielding sheet 14 is foldably connected to the top of the airport stand 10 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the top shielding sheet 14 can be connected by a series of hinges, allowing the top shielding sheet 14 to be folded along a fixed axis. This design is similar to the folding table or folding chair used in daily life, which can be smoothly folded or unfolded. Usually, there are two different folding methods for the top shielding sheet 14. The first is that the top shielding sheet 14 is divided into two parts, which can be folded closer to each other or away from each other from both sides of the airport bracket 10; the second is the slide rail folding, in which the top shielding sheet 14 is retracted and unfolded along a preset slide rail. In this method, the top shielding sheet 14 is unidirectionally folded.

[0059] In one embodiment, a plurality of heat sinks 15 are disposed inside the airfield support 10. The heat sinks 15 are located on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 and are respectively close to the first airfield 20 and the second airfield 30. The heat sinks 15 are provided to ventilate and dissipate heat for the first airfield 20 and the second airfield 30. The heat sinks 15 are usually small fans.

[0060] Combination Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the UAV take-off and landing device 100 also includes a base assembly 40, which is located at the bottom of the airport bracket 10. The base assembly 40 can prop up the entire UAV take-off and landing device 100 away from the ground, which can effectively prevent the UAV from being affected by ground moisture.

[0061] Specifically, the base assembly 40 is composed of three main parts: a base bracket 41, a control module 42 and a charging module 43. The base bracket 41 is a steel welded structure that carries the UAV take-off and landing device 100. The control module 42 is installed on the base bracket 41, and is responsible for controlling the extension and retraction of the side shielding plates 13, the top shielding plates 14 and the first airport 20 of the UAV take-off and landing device 100, and managing the internal heat sink 15. The charging module 43 is also installed on the base bracket 41, and is responsible for detecting the battery status after the UAV lands, and charging the UAV after heat dissipation and cooling, until the battery is fully charged and the charging stops automatically. The charging module 43 can also provide power support for the drive component 112.

[0062] Combination Figure 8 As shown, the above only describes the operation mode of a single drone take-off and landing device 100. When a drone cluster performance is required, multiple drone take-off and landing devices 100 are required to perform. The following examples will introduce specific application scenarios when multiple drone take-off and landing devices 100 are put into use:

[0063] A single drone landing device 100 is a cuboid with a length of 0.9 meters, a width of 0.9 meters, and a height of 1 meter in the stowed state. Multiple drone landing devices 100 can form a drone landing device array, with rows and rows alternately distributed. Figure 8 From left to right, the first and third rows of drone take-off and landing devices 100 are 2.5 meters apart horizontally and 1.7 meters apart vertically; the second row of drone take-off and landing devices are 0.8 meters apart horizontally and 0.4 meters apart vertically from the first row of drone take-off and landing devices. After all drone take-off and landing devices 100 are fully deployed, the airports are cross-staggered. Each drone take-off and landing device 100 has 5 airports (i.e., 4 first airports 20 and 1 second airport 30), each of which can accommodate 4 drones, for a total of 20. 53 airports can be arranged on a 250-square-meter site, accommodating a total of 1,060 drones. Each airport on the drone take-off and landing device 100 can realize simultaneous cross-take-off and landing of drones, shortening the take-off and landing time and extending the performance time.

[0064] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
