DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0022] When the device is used, in case of sudden weather such as rain, after the drone is recovered, the folding canopy mechanism can be unfolded through the canopy retracting and extending power device, so that the drone is covered to prevent the drone from being affected by rain.

[0023] In this embodiment, the awning folding and unfolding power mechanism includes a rotary drive device 3, a sprocket 4, a chain belt 5 and a chain belt track 6. The rotary drive device 3 is a waterproof rotary motor. The chain belt track 6 is installed on the inner side of the parking apron 2. The rotary drive device 3 is at the bottom of the parking apron 2. The sprocket 4 is fixedly installed at the driving end of the rotary drive device 3. The chain belt 5 is slidably arranged in the track. The outer side of the chain belt 5 is connected to the end of the folding awning mechanism through a connecting piece 10. The chain belt 5 is connected to the sprocket 4 in transmission. The specific process of the awning folding and unfolding power mechanism controlling the folding awning mechanism is as follows: the rotary drive device 3 rotates the chain belt Wheel 4, sprocket 4 drives the chain belt 5 located in the chain belt track 6 to move (the inner side of the chain belt track 6 is designed to be open, and the upper and lower sides of the chain belt 5 are larger than the upper and lower sides of the opening, so that the position of the chain belt 5 can be limited and the chain belt 5 can be driven at the same time), the chain belt 5 drives the movable end of the folding awning mechanism to move through the connecting piece 10, so as to realize the unfolding process of the folding awning mechanism. When the folding awning mechanism needs to be stored, the motor forward and reverse control module in the prior art is used to control the rotation drive device 3 to flip, that is, the sprocket 4 can be flipped, so that the folding awning mechanism is folded as the movable end approaches the fixed end.
