[0020] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0021] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the following disclosure.

[0022] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the utility model provides a drone storage device, including a box cover 1, a drone body 2 and an anti-collision pad 12, an automatic charging mechanism 3 is arranged at the bottom of the box cover 1, a heat dissipation mechanism 4 is arranged on the outer surface of the automatic charging mechanism 3, a jack 21 is arranged on the outer surface of the drone body 2, the automatic charging mechanism 3 includes a placement box 301, a sliding groove 302 is arranged on the top of the placement box 301, a limiting groove 303 is arranged on the inner surface wall of the sliding groove 302, a sliding column 304 is slidably connected to the inner surface wall of the sliding groove 302, a copper sheet 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding column 304, a spring 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the copper sheet 305, a wire 307 is arranged on the outer surface of the copper sheet 305, the outer surface of the copper sheet 305 is slidably connected to the inner surface wall of the limiting groove 303, a plug 308 is arranged on one end of the wire 307, a battery 309 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the placement box 301, and the top of the placement box 301 is movably installed with the bottom of the box cover 1.

[0023] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is that when storing the drone body 2, it is first necessary to open the box cover 1, and then the drone body 2 is stably placed inside the storage box 301. During this process, the socket 21 on the drone body 2 will be accurately connected to the preset plug 308 to ensure that the power connection is stable and safe. Then, the box cover 1 is closed, and the downward pressing action of the box cover 1 will squeeze the sliding column 304, so that the sliding column 304 can be smoothly pressed and slid in the sliding groove 302. At the same time, the downward pressing action of the sliding column 304 will drive the copper sheet 305 and the spring 306 to be pressed down together. At this time, the spring 306 will be subjected to a downward force, causing it to be compressed and deformed. This deformation shortens the length of the spring 306 and reduces its shape accordingly, thereby causing the copper sheet 305 to move downward. During the downward pressing process of the copper sheet 305, it will be in close contact with the wire 307, thereby forming a closed circuit, resulting in the generation of current, and under the action of the battery 309, it begins to be energized. At this time, the current flows smoothly through the circuit, which is unmanned. The human-machine body 2 provides the required power, thereby starting the charging process. When the drone body 2 needs to be used, the box cover 1 is opened. During the process of opening the box cover 1, the pressure originally acting on the spring 306 gradually disappears, so that the spring 306 can gradually return to its original state. As the spring 306 recovers, the copper sheet 305 also moves upward and gradually disconnects from the wire 307, thereby interrupting the circuit and causing the current to disappear. Subsequently, the user can easily take out the drone body 2. Under the action of the automatic charging mechanism 3, after the user has finished using the plug-type drone, the user only needs to store the drone in the placement box 301 to charge the drone, thereby avoiding the trouble of the user having to find an additional suitable charging location after outdoor use. This not only reduces the user's use burden, but also improves the convenience and efficiency of the drone's use. The anti-collision pad 12 is mainly used to prevent damage to the drone caused by shaking during movement or transportation, and the limit groove 303 is mainly used for limiting the copper sheet 305 during the downward pressing process.

[0024] Embodiment 2, as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the heat dissipation mechanism 4 includes a controller 401, a temperature sensor 402 and a ventilation duct 403, the inner wall of the ventilation duct 403 is provided with a fan 404, the outer surface of the fan 404 is arranged and fixedly connected with a plurality of fan blades 405, the inner wall of the ventilation duct 403 is provided with a dustproof plate 406, the outer surface of the controller 401 is fixedly mounted to the outer surface of the placement box 301, the outer surface of the temperature sensor 402 is fixedly mounted to the outer surface of the placement box 301, the drone body 2 is arranged inside the placement box 301, the jack 21 and the plug 308 are matched, and the outer surface of the anti-collision pad 12 is bonded to the inner wall of the placement box 301.

[0025] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is that when charging the drone body 2, in order to ensure the safety and stability of the charging process, first, the temperature sensor 402 will monitor the temperature changes inside the placement box 301 in real time and accurately. Once it is detected that the temperature exceeds the safety threshold, the temperature sensor 402 will immediately send a signal to the controller 401. After receiving the signal, the controller 401 will quickly start the fan 404. At this time, the fan blades 405 on the fan 404 will rotate at high speed to generate a strong airflow, effectively increasing the air circulation inside the placement box 301. This airflow will discharge the accumulated hot air out of the box through the ventilation duct 403, thereby quickly reducing the temperature inside the box, ensuring that the drone is charged in a safe temperature environment. Under the action of the heat dissipation mechanism 4, it can effectively promote the air circulation inside the box, achieve rapid heat dissipation, ensure the safety and stability of the drone body 2 during the charging process, and effectively prevent safety problems that may be caused by overheating during the charging process. The dustproof plate 406 is mainly used to prevent dust from entering from the ventilation duct 403.

[0026] Working principle: When storing the drone body 2, open the box cover 1 and place the drone body 2 inside the storage box 301. During this process, the socket 21 on the drone body 2 will be connected to the preset plug 308. Then, close the box cover 1. The downward pressure of the box cover 1 will squeeze the sliding column 304, so that the sliding column 304 can be smoothly pressed down and slid in the sliding groove 302. At the same time, the downward pressure of the sliding column 304 will drive the copper sheet 305 and the spring 306 to be pressed down together. At this time, the length of the spring 306 becomes shorter and the shape is reduced accordingly, so that the copper sheet 305 moves downward. During the downward pressure of the copper sheet 305, it will be in close contact with the wire 307, and start to be energized under the action of the battery 309, providing the required power for the drone body 2. When the drone body 2 needs to be used, open the box cover 1. During the opening of the box cover 1, the pressure originally acting on the spring 306 gradually disappears, so that the spring 306 can gradually return to its original state. As the spring 306 recovers, the copper sheet 305 also moves upward, thereby interrupting the circuit and causing the current to disappear. Subsequently, the user can easily take out the drone body 2. In order to ensure the safety and stability of the charging process, the temperature sensor 402 will monitor the temperature changes inside the placement box 301 in real time. Once it is detected that the temperature exceeds the safety threshold, the temperature sensor 402 will immediately send a signal to the controller 401. After receiving the signal, the controller 401 will quickly start the fan 404. At this time, the fan blades 405 on the fan 404 will rotate at a high speed, effectively increasing the air circulation inside the placement box 301. This airflow will discharge the accumulated hot air out of the box through the ventilation duct 403.

However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
