Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a take-off and landing auxiliary device for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Art

[0002] In the process of widespread application of drones, their take-off and landing have always faced many challenges. At present, there are many problems that affect safety and convenience during the take-off and landing of drones.

[0003] In the traditional take-off and landing method, in most cases, the operator needs to hold the drone for take-off and landing operations. This method has significant disadvantages. On the one hand, holding the drone for take-off and landing requires the operator to use an extra hand to control the drone, which seriously interferes with the operator's normal operation of the remote control, making it difficult for the operator to accurately control the flight attitude and parameters of the drone at the moment of take-off and landing, which can easily lead to accidents such as take-off failure or landing crash. For example, in some scenarios that require delicate operations, such as taking off and landing in a small space or near obstacles, due to the interference of handheld operation on the remote control, the drone may collide with surrounding objects and be damaged.

[0004] Moreover, the take-off and landing of handheld drones is a test of the operator's physical strength and concentration, especially in long-term operations or complex environments. Holding the drone for a long time will cause hand fatigue and increase the risk of operational errors. In addition, in unstable environmental conditions such as wind, handheld drones are easily shaken by the wind, and a stable take-off and landing posture cannot be guaranteed, which seriously threatens the safety of the drone.

[0005] At the same time, there is a lack of an auxiliary device on the market that can properly place the drone during takeoff and landing without affecting the operation of the remote control. Some existing related devices either cannot effectively fix the drone, which may cause the drone to shift during takeoff and landing; or the design is unreasonable, which will hinder the operator from using the remote control normally. Therefore, in response to the above problems, we proposed a drone takeoff and landing auxiliary device. Utility Model Content

At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of the utility model. The change or adjustment of their relative relationship should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the utility model without substantially changing the technical content.

[0029] The utility model provides a technical solution: a UAV take-off and landing auxiliary device mainly consists of a UAV remote controller 1, a support rod 2, a mounting plate 3, a platform 4 and a UAV clamping mechanism 5.

[0030] The top surface of the drone remote controller 1 is provided with two symmetrically arranged guide holes 101. A lead screw 201 is rotatably connected to the bottom of one of the guide holes 101, and a cylindrical head 202 arranged outside the drone remote controller 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lead screw 201. This structural design provides a basis for the extension and retraction of the support rod 2.

[0031] There are two support rods 2, whose outer walls are slidably sleeved on the inner walls of the guide holes 101, and the inner walls of the support rods 2 are provided with threaded holes, which are threadedly connected to the outer walls of the lead screw 201. When the cylindrical head 202 is operated to drive the lead screw 201 to rotate, the support rods 2 can be extended and retracted due to the threaded fit between the lead screw 201 and the support rods 2 and the guiding effect of the guide holes 101 on the support rods 2, thereby adjusting the height of the mounting plate 3.

[0032] Two mounting grooves 301 are provided on the mounting plate 3, and a rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 3. A rectangular plate 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform 4, and the rectangular plate 401 is located inside the mounting groove 301, and the rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rectangular plate 401. In addition, a clamping bolt 303 is threadedly installed on the side wall of the mounting plate 3 located between the two mounting grooves 301. By tightening or loosening the clamping bolt 303, the degree of clamping on the rotating shaft 302 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the fixing or adjustment of the flipping angle of the platform 4 around the rotating shaft 302 to meet different usage requirements.

[0033] When not in use, the platform 4 can be flipped over to the back of the drone remote controller 1 .

[0034] Each drone clamping mechanism 5 includes an electric push rod 501, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 501 is fixedly connected to a movable plate 502. When the electric push rod 501 is telescopic, the movable plate 502 can be driven to move.

[0035] The movable plate 502 is provided with a rotating rod 503, the outer wall of the rotating rod 503 is fixedly connected with a clamping plate 504, and the side wall of the clamping plate 504 is fixedly connected with an electric suction cup 505. The top of the movable plate 502 is provided with an open slot, the rotating rod 503 is rotatably connected with the side wall of the movable plate 502 and passes through the open slot, and the bottom of the clamping plate 504 is located in the open slot. This structure allows the clamping plate 504 to rotate around the rotating rod 503.

[0036] The driving mechanism 6 includes a guide block 601 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the movable plate 502, and a rack 602 is movably mounted on the guide block 601. A guide groove 603 is provided at the bottom of the rack 602 and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide block 601. A guide shaft 604 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 603. The guide shaft 604 is slidably connected to the side wall of the guide block 601, and a spring 605 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide shaft 604 near the electric push rod 501. The rack 602 is meshed with a gear 606, which is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod 503, and one end of the rack 602 is in a blocking fit with the end face of the electric push rod 501.

[0037] When the electric push rod 501 pulls the movable plate 502, the rack 602 moves and its end contacts the end face of the electric push rod 501, pushing the rack 602 to slide on the guide block 601. The rack 602 drives the rotating rod 503 to rotate by engaging with the gear 606, thereby flipping the clamping plate 504 from a vertical state to a horizontal state and locating it in the storage groove above the electric push rod 501.

[0038] When the electric push rod 501 pushes the movable plate 502, the spring 605 can reset the rack 602, and the clamping plate 504 flips to a vertical position, and the electric suction cup 505 moves toward the drone parked on the platform 4 and absorbs the side wall of the drone.

[0039] When in use, the clamping and releasing operations of the drone can be achieved by controlling the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 501 and the adsorption of the electric suction cup 505. The four drone clamping mechanisms 5 are symmetrically arranged, which can stably fix the drone and ensure its stability during take-off and landing.

[0040] The UAV take-off and landing auxiliary device can take off and land the UAV on the platform 4 during take-off and landing without interfering with the operation of the remote control by both hands. The operator does not need to hold the UAV during take-off and landing, thereby ensuring the safety of the control.

[0041] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
