[0025] See also Figure 1-6 , an embodiment provided by the utility model:

[0026] A highly stable drone landing platform comprises a fixed platform 1, the top of the fixed platform 1 is connected to a support seat 2, and the outer surface of the support seat 2 is provided with a groove, multiple groups of cylinders 8 are fixedly installed in the groove, and the tops of the multiple groups of cylinders 8 are connected to abutment components 4, laser sensors 413 are arranged on the outer surfaces of both sides of the top of the abutment components 4, and through grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the abutment components 4, multiple groups of electric push rods 411 are fixedly installed in the bottom through grooves, and one end of the multiple groups of electric push rods 411 is connected to a clamping plate 412, and multiple groups of pressure sensors 414 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the bottom end of the abutment components 4.

[0027] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided at the top of the fixed platform 1, and a plurality of groups of first circular plates 911 are fixedly installed in the limiting groove, a damper 912 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the top of the plurality of groups of first circular plates 911, and the top of the damper 912 is connected to a second circular plate 913, and the top of the second circular plate 913 is connected to a damping block 5. The damping system composed of the first circular plate 911, the damper 912 and the second circular plate 913 can provide additional cushioning when the UAV lands, reduce the shaking of the UAV caused by uneven ground or wind, and thus enhance the landing stability.

[0028] Furthermore, a spring 9 is connected between the first circular plate 911 and the second circular plate 913. The combination of the spring 9 and the damper 912 can absorb and alleviate the impact force, reduce the risk of damage to the drone, and ensure the safety of landing.

[0029] Furthermore, a light bar 3 is provided on the top outer surface of the support base 2, which can improve the visibility of the UAV at night or in low-light environments, facilitate the UAV to accurately find the landing position, and reduce the risk of the UAV colliding with other obstacles during landing, thereby enhancing the safety of landing.

[0030] Furthermore, a plurality of adjusting screws 6 are provided on the outer surface of the bottom end of the fixed platform 1, and a ring 7 is connected to one end of the plurality of adjusting screws 6. By combining the adjusting screws 6 and the ring 7, the height and angle of the fixed platform 1 can be conveniently adjusted to adapt to different ground conditions and UAV landing requirements.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the abutting component 4 and the clamping plate 412 are both wrapped with rubber, which can reduce friction when in contact with the drone and prevent the surface of the drone from being damaged.

[0032] Furthermore, the outer ends of the abutment component 4 and the clamping plate 412 are both arc-shaped. The arc-shaped design can reduce the sharp edges when contacting the drone, thereby avoiding scratching or damaging the surface of the drone during the clamping or abutment process.

[0033] Working principle: When the drone is ready to land on the top of the support base 2, first, the drone contacts the top surface of the support base 2, at which time, the pressure sensor 414 at the bottom of the abutment assembly 4 will immediately sense the weight of the drone. Once the pressure sensor 414 detects that the drone has landed, it will send a signal to the control system to activate the multiple groups of cylinders 8 corresponding to the contact position of the drone.

[0034] After receiving the control signal, the cylinder 8 starts to move downward, driving the abutment assembly 4 to descend as a whole to adapt to the support at the bottom of the drone. During the descent, the laser sensors 413 on the outer surfaces of both sides of the abutment assembly 4 start to work and quickly scan the support at the bottom of the drone. The laser sensor 413 can accurately measure the size and position of the drone support by emitting a laser beam and receiving a reflected signal.

[0035] According to the measurement data of the laser sensor 413, the control system calculates the precise position of the drone support that needs to be clamped, and sends instructions to multiple sets of electric push rods 411. After receiving the instructions, the electric push rods 411 start to telescope, and by adjusting their telescopic length, the clamping plate 412 can tightly clamp the bottom support of the drone.

[0036] In this way, the drone landing platform can ensure the stability and safety of the drone during the landing process. Regardless of whether the ground is flat or there is wind interference, the landing platform can provide a stable and reliable landing environment for the drone through adaptive adjustment and precise clamping.

[0037] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
