DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0031] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "front" and "rear" generally refer to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling, for example, the direction of the front of the vehicle is the front, and the direction of the rear of the vehicle is the rear, and "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of the component or structure itself. In addition, it should be noted that the terms used, such as "first" and "second", are used to distinguish one element from another, and do not have order and importance. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same mark in different drawings represents the same element.

[0032] like Figure 1-9As shown, the present disclosure provides a drone hangar, including: a helipad 1, having a parking space for parking a drone 2; and a fixing mechanism 8, which is arranged on the helipad 1, and the fixing mechanism 8 includes a driving component 82 and a fixing component 81, and a plurality of fixing components 81 are provided, and the plurality of fixing components 81 are circumferentially arranged on the outside of the driving component 82 to enclose a parking space, and the driving component 82 is connected to the plurality of fixing components 81 to simultaneously drive the plurality of fixing components 81 to move, so as to fix or release the drone 2.

[0033] Through the above technical scheme, in the drone hangar provided by the present invention, the drone 2 is parked on the apron 1, and a fixing mechanism 8 is provided on the apron 1 to fix the drone 2 to prevent the drone 2 from falling. The fixing mechanism 8 includes a driving component 82 and a fixing component 81. The fixing component 81 is provided with multiple circumferential parts to surround the drone 2. The driving component 82 is connected to multiple fixing components 81 to drive multiple fixing components 81 to move at the same time, so as to fix or release the drone 2. In this way, only one driving component 82 is needed, which saves costs, and multiple fixing components 81 can move at the same time, and the coordination is good.

[0034] As an optional implementation, Figure 3-5 and Figure 7-8 As shown, the driving assembly 82 includes a first driving device 822 and a cam 821. The first driving device 822 is connected to the cam 821. For example, the first driving device 822 is a driving motor for driving the cam 821 to rotate. One end of the fixing assembly 81 abuts against the cam 821. A plurality of fixing assemblies 81 are evenly arranged on the outside of the cam 821. The cam 821 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 8211 corresponding to the fixing assemblies 81 along the circumferential direction. A groove 8212 is formed between two adjacent protrusions 8211. One end of the fixing assembly 81 abuts against the cam 821 and slides along the contour of the cam 821. The protrusions 8211 are arranged on the outer side of the cam 821. The intervals between 8211 are the same, and multiple fixing components 81 are evenly arranged along the circumference, so that when the cam 821 rotates, the fixing components 81 can be driven to move. For example, when multiple fixing components 81 are in contact with the protrusion 8211, the protrusion 8211 pushes the fixing components 81 outward. When the cam 821 rotates and multiple fixing devices are in contact with the groove 8212, the fixing components 81 are pulled inward, so that the cam 821 drives multiple fixing components 81 to move in a direction close to or away from the cam 821 at the same time. To ensure the smooth rotation of the cam 821, the protrusion 8211 and the groove 8212 can be set to an arc shape. In other embodiments, the driving component 82 can also include a cylinder and an air chamber, and multiple fixing components 81 are circumferentially arranged on the outside of the air chamber and communicated with the air chamber. The fixing component 81 includes a pneumatic telescopic rod. When the cylinder blows air into the air chamber, the multiple pneumatic telescopic rods move outward at the same time, and when the cylinder evacuates air, the multiple pneumatic telescopic rods move inward at the same time.

[0035] Alternatively, if Figure 3-5As shown, the fixing mechanism 8 also includes an elastic member 83, which abuts against the fixing component 81 so that the fixing component 81 is always in contact with the cam 821. The elastic member 83 makes the fixing component 81 always abut against the cam 821, so that the fixing component 81 moves up and down along the cam 821. When the fixing component 81 is pushed outward, the elastic member 83 is compressed, and when the fixing component 81 is pulled inward, the elastic member 83 is retracted and reset.

[0036] Among them, the fixing component 81 includes a push rod 812 and a fixing block 811, and the elastic member 83 is configured as a reset spring. The drone hangar also includes a support frame 9 arranged on the apron 1. The push rod 812 is inserted into the support frame 9 and can move along the support frame 9. One end of the push rod 812 abuts against the cam 821, and the other end is connected to the fixing block 811. The end of the push rod 812 abutting against the cam 821 is provided with a limiting boss 8121. The reset spring is sleeved on the push rod 812 and one end contacts the limiting boss 8121, and the other end contacts the support frame 9. When the push rod 812 contacts the protrusion 8211 and moves outward, the reset spring is compressed. When the cam 821 rotates and the groove 8212 corresponds to the push rod 812, the reset spring extends and resets to make the push rod 812 contact the groove 8212. The cam 821 drives the fixing block 811 to move through the push rod 812, and the fixing block 811 fixes the drone 2.

[0037] In addition, the fixing assembly 81 also includes a connecting rod 813. A mounting hole 101 is provided on the apron 1. The fixing block 811 is rotatably arranged in the mounting hole 101. One end of the connecting rod 813 is hinged to the push rod 812, and the other end is hinged to the fixing block 811. The push rod 812 plus the connecting rod 813 can prevent jamming during pushing or sliding. The fixing block 811 is rotatably arranged, and the connecting rod 813 is hinged to the end of the fixing block 811. When the drone 2 needs to be fixed, the push rod 812 drives the connecting rod 813 to push outward, and the fixing block 811 stands upright to wrap the fuselage of the drone 2. Since one end is supported by the push rod 812 and the connecting rod 813, the fixing block 811 will not loosen. Compared with the horizontally moving fixing block 811 in the related art, the drone 2 can be fixed more firmly; when the drone 2 needs to be released, the push rod 812 and the connecting rod 813 are pulled inward, and the fixing block 811 is tilted outward to release the drone 2.

[0038] Alternatively, if Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a fixing groove 8111 corresponding to the outline of the drone 2 is provided on the side of the fixing block 811 close to the drone 2. The fixing groove 8111 can wrap the fuselage of the drone 2 to make the drone 2 more firmly fixed. For example, the fixing block 811 can also be set to a fixing block 811 of different sizes according to the length of each side of the drone 2 to make the drone 2 more firmly fixed.

[0039] As an optional implementation, Figure 1-2 As shown, the drone hangar also includes a flap 4. The drone hangar has an opening. The flap 4 is rotatably arranged at the opening. The apron 1 is arranged on one side of the flap 4. The drone 2 can be stored in the drone hangar when not in use to reduce the space occupied by the drone 2. The apron 1 and the flap 4 are arranged integrally. The drone 2 can be stored by simply flipping the flap 4. It is simple and convenient. For example, rotating shafts are arranged at opposite ends of the apron 1. The rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the edge of the opening, and a second driving device 3 is connected to one of the rotating shafts to drive the flap 4 to rotate. The rotating shaft is arranged on the apron 1 to ensure that the flap 4 is seamlessly connected to the opening. A sealing ring 13 can also be arranged on the edge of the flap 4 or the opening to seal the flap 4 and the opening to prevent rain and dust from entering the drone hangar. The apron 1 has an installation cavity on one side close to the flap 4, such as Figure 3 As shown, the driving assembly 82 , the push rod 812 , the connecting rod 813 , the elastic member 83 , and the support frame 9 are all arranged in the installation cavity, and the fixing block 811 extends out of the installation cavity through the installation hole 101 .

[0040] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the drone hangar also includes a level sensor 5 arranged on the apron 1. When releasing or retrieving the drone 2 on an uneven road surface, the drone hangar may not be in a horizontal state, which may cause the drone 2 to be poorly stressed during takeoff or the drone 2 to tip over during landing. The level sensor 5 can adjust the levelness of the apron 1 according to the detection result.

[0041] As an optional implementation, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a laser signal transmitting device 7 is provided on one of the apron 1 or the UAV 2, and a laser signal receiving device 10 is provided on the other of the two, for positioning the UAV 2. During the falling back process after release, the UAV 2 often cannot accurately fall back to the designated position because the UAV 2 and the UAV hangar cannot be aligned. The accurate positioning of the UAV 2 and the UAV hangar can be achieved through the emission and reception of laser signals, which simplifies the centering structure of the UAV 2. For example, the laser signal transmitting device 7 is a laser radar.

[0042] As an optional implementation, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a charging port 6 is provided on the apron 1 to charge the drone 2, and a charging socket 11 is provided at the bottom of the drone 2 for plugging into the charging port 6. The drone 2 can be charged when the drone 2 is parked on the apron 1, and a battery can be set on the apron 1, and the battery is connected to the charging port 6.

[0043] As an optional implementation, Fig. 9As shown, the drone hangar is used to be set on the front hatch 12 of the vehicle. In the related art, the drone 2 is mostly mounted on the roof of the car. Since the drone hangar is relatively high, the drone hangar mounted on the roof needs to occupy part of the space in the passenger compartment. The drone hangar disclosed in the present invention is set on the front hatch 12 of the vehicle, using the extra space in the front cabin. The front cabin can be a front trunk or a cabin, especially for electric vehicles. The structure in the cabin is simpler than that of a gasoline vehicle, and there can be extra space for accommodating the drone hangar. Of course, in other embodiments, the drone hangar can also be set on the trunk lid.

[0044] The present disclosure also provides a vehicle, including: the above-mentioned drone hangar, the drone hangar of the present disclosure only needs one driving component 82 to simultaneously drive multiple fixing components 81 to move to fix or release the drone 2, saving costs, and multiple fixing components 81 can move at the same time, with good coordination.

[0045] In actual use, when it is necessary to release the drone 2, a control signal is sent through the vehicle host to control the second drive device 3 to rotate and the flap 4 to flip over. The horizontal sensor 5 sends a leveling signal to the vehicle host to level the apron 1. The vehicle host sends a control signal to control the first drive device 822 to drive the cam 821 to rotate, and the fixing component 81 moves to release the drone 2. When it is necessary to retract the drone 2, the vehicle host receives the laser signal from the laser signal transmitting device 7 to identify the relative position of the drone 2 and the apron 1, and accurately locates the drone 2 so that the drone 2 lands on the parking position of the apron 1. The vehicle host sends a control signal to control the first drive device 822 to drive the cam 821 to rotate, and the fixing component 81 moves to fix the drone 2, and then controls the second drive device 3 to start and flip the flap 4.

[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0047] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0048] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
