Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone transport technology, and in particular to a transport box for drones. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices, or operated autonomously, either completely or intermittently, by an onboard computer. UAVs can be categorized into military and civilian applications. In the military field, UAVs are divided into reconnaissance aircraft and target drones. In the civilian field, they are used in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, miniature selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying, news reporting, power line inspection, disaster relief, film and television production, and creating romantic scenes, among other areas. Therefore, most UAVs are not equipped with wheels for landing and require specialized transport equipment for transport within a limited area.

[0003] During the transportation of drones, transport boxes are usually used to place the drones. The drones are placed in the transport box during the transportation process, and then taken out of the transport box after the transportation arrives at the destination. However, depending on the needs of the use of the drones, the specifications of the drones are different. When transporting larger drones, due to their length and weight, it is quite troublesome to place the drones directly into the transport box or to take them out of the transport box. Therefore, a transport box for drones has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] reference Figure 1-7A transport box for drones includes a drone transport box 1. The drone transport box 1 has an internal lifting assembly, which includes a worm gear 6 rotatably mounted inside the drone transport box 1. A throttle 7 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the worm gear 6. A worm wheel 8 is meshed on the surface of the worm gear 6. A vertical screw 9 is fixedly mounted inside the worm wheel 8. A connecting bearing 10 is mounted on the surface of the vertical screw 9. The inner ring of the connecting bearing 10 is connected to the vertical screw 9. A fixing seat 11 is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the connecting bearing 10. The fixing seat 11 is fixedly installed on the lower side wall of the drone transport box 1. A threaded sleeve 12 is threaded on the surface of the vertical screw 9 and fixedly installed inside a movable vertical plate 2. The worm gear 6 simultaneously drives two worm wheels 8 to rotate, causing the two worm wheels 8 to... The rotation of two vertical screws 9 causes two screw sleeves 12 to drive two movable vertical plates 2 to move at the same speed and in the same direction, thus making the movement of the lifting and placing plate 3 more stable. The movable vertical plates 2 are installed inside the drone transport box 1 via a lifting assembly. A mounting hole is provided through the top of the movable vertical plate 2, and the screw sleeve 12 is fixedly installed inside the mounting hole. The vertical screws 9 are located inside the mounting hole of the movable vertical plate 2. The mounting hole facilitates the connection between the screw sleeve 12 and the movable vertical plate 2, and the mounting hole ensures that the movable vertical plate 2 is not interfered with by the vertical screws 9 during lifting, allowing the movable vertical plate 2 to drive the lifting and placing plate 3 to move normally. The lifting and placing plate 3 is fixedly installed between the opposing surfaces of the movable vertical plates 2. A box cover is overlapped on the top of the drone transport box 1. 4. Two latches 5 are fixedly installed on the front side of the lid 4, arranged symmetrically. Each latch 5 consists of a latch and a lock seat. The drone transport box 1 is connected to the latch, and the lid 4 is connected to the lock seat. The two latches 5 ensure a more secure connection between the lid 4 and the drone transport box 1, preventing the lid 4 from opening during transport. A connecting assembly is provided between the lid 4 and the drone transport box 1. The connecting assembly includes a flip plate 19, which is fixedly installed on the rear side of the lid 4. A rotating sleeve 20 is fixedly installed inside the flip plate 19, and a connecting shaft 21 is rotatably installed inside the rotating sleeve 20. A mounting seat 22 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting shaft 21, and the mounting seat 22 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the drone transport box 1. During opening and closing, the flip plate 19 is rotated, causing the rotating sleeve 20 to rotate on the surface of the connecting shaft 21. This facilitates the flipping of the cover 4 and allows for easy connection between the cover 4 and the drone transport box 1 via the connecting assembly. The worm gear 6 is rotated forward or backward via the throttle 7, causing the worm wheel 8 to rotate forward or backward via the vertical screw 9. The vertical screw 9 is further rotated by the connecting bearing 10 and the fixed seat 11, causing the screw sleeve 12 to move the lifting placement plate 3 out of or into the drone transport box 1 via the moving vertical plate 2. This allows the lifting placement plate 3 to move the drone out of or into the drone transport box 1, thus avoiding the cumbersome process of placing and removing large drones from the drone transport box 1.When large drones are difficult to move manually, they can be removed from the drone transport container 1 to facilitate lifting and transport by external lifting equipment.

[0024] Specifically, the drone transport box 1 is equipped with a guide assembly to facilitate the guidance of the movable vertical plate 2. The guide assembly includes four guide grooves 13, which are respectively formed on the left and right side walls of the drone transport box 1. Guide posts 14 are slidably arranged inside the guide grooves 13. A connecting plate 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the guide post 14 near the middle of the movable vertical plate 2. A connecting hole 16 is provided through the surface of the connecting plate 15. A connecting stud 17 is overlapped inside the connecting hole 16. The connecting stud 17 is fixedly installed on the side of the movable vertical plate 2 near the connecting plate 15. The connecting stud 17 has a threaded fixing nut 18 on its surface. The guide post 14 drives the connecting plate 15 to contact the moving vertical plate 2, so that the connecting stud 17 is inserted into the connecting hole 16 and the fixing nut 18 is tightened on the surface of the connecting stud 17. This allows the guide post 14 to be installed on the surface of the moving vertical plate 2. During the movement of the lifting and placing plate 3, the connecting stud 17 and the fixing nut 18 drive the connecting plate 15 to move, and the connecting plate 15 drives the guide post 14 to slide inside the guide groove 13, which facilitates the guidance of the moving vertical plate 2 and avoids shaking during the movement of the moving vertical plate 2.

[0025] In use: When it is necessary to place the drone inside the drone transport box 1, turn the throttle 7 to drive the worm gear 6 to rotate. The worm gear 6 drives the worm wheel 8, which meshes with it, to rotate. The worm wheel 8 drives the vertical screw 9 to rotate inside the fixed seat 11 through the connecting bearing 10. This causes the screw sleeve 12 to move upward along the surface thread direction. The screw sleeve 12 drives the moving vertical plate 2 to move upward. The moving vertical plate 2 drives the connecting plate 15 to move upward through the connecting stud 17 and the fixing nut 18. The connecting plate 15 drives the guide post 14 to slide upward inside the guide groove 13. Thus, the moving vertical plate 2 moves the lifting placement plate 3 out of the drone transport box 1, and the drone is placed on top of the lifting placement plate 3. The shock-absorbing pads installed on the drone bracket come into contact with the lifting and placing plate 3. Turning the handle 7 causes the worm gear 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, which causes the worm wheel 8 to drive the vertical screw 9 to rotate in the opposite direction inside the fixed seat 11 through the connecting bearing 10. This causes the screw sleeve 12 to drive the moving vertical plate 2 to move downward. The moving vertical plate 2 drives the lifting and placing plate 3 into the drone transfer box 1, so that the top of the lifting and placing plate 3 is placed inside the drone transfer box 1. Pulling the box cover 4 causes the flip plate 19 to flip, which causes the flip plate 19 to drive the rotating sleeve 20 to rotate on the surface of the connecting shaft 21, so that the box cover 4 comes into contact with the top of the drone transfer box 1. The box cover 4 and the drone transfer box 1 are then fixed together by the buckle lock 5.

[0026] In summary, this drone transfer box uses a throttle 7 to drive the worm gear 6 to rotate forward or backward, which in turn drives the worm wheel 8 to drive the vertical screw 9 to rotate forward or backward. The connecting bearing 10 and the fixed seat 11 assist the vertical screw 9 in rotating, so that the screw sleeve 12 moves the lifting placement plate 3 out of or into the drone transfer box 1 via the moving vertical plate 2. This allows the lifting placement plate 3 to move the drone out of or into the drone transfer box 1, thus avoiding the cumbersome process of putting and taking out large drones into and out of the drone transfer box 1. When large drones are difficult to move manually, the drone can be moved out of the drone transfer box 1, making it easier for external lifting equipment to lift and transport the drone, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
