Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle cabin with an automatically opening door. Background Art

[0002] The full name of UAV is unmanned aerial vehicle, abbreviated as "UAV". It is an unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and self-contained program control devices, or operated completely or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer. UAVs are divided into military and civilian use according to their application areas, among which civilian UAVs are mainly used for high-altitude photography and videography.

[0003] Due to factors such as drone endurance, drones are usually transported to a designated location before being started for flight operations. In order to reduce the probability of damage to the drone due to vibration and collision during transportation, the drone is usually placed in a drone cabin for fixation before being transported.

[0004] For the above-mentioned related technologies, drones usually enter and exit the cabin vertically, so it is necessary to ensure that there is no obstruction above the drone when entering and exiting. For this reason, most of the current helipads of the cabins are only single-layered, and the space utilization rate is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the problem that the parking aprons of most shelters are only single-layered and have low space utilization, the present application provides a drone shelter with an automatically opening door.

[0006] The drone cabin with automatic door opening provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A drone cabin with an automatically opening door comprises a cabin body, wherein an ejection apron and a side ejection apron are arranged at intervals in the upper and lower parts of the cabin body, a top exit is provided on the top wall of the cabin body corresponding to the ejection apron, a top baffle for shielding the top exit is slidably connected to the top of the cabin body, a first driving component for driving the top baffle to move is provided on the cabin body; a side exit is provided on the side wall of the cabin body corresponding to the side ejection apron, and a second driving component for driving the side ejection apron to move out from the side exit is provided on the cabin body.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drone is stored in the cabin, the drone can be parked on the top exit apron and the side exit apron respectively. When the drone needs to take off, the top baffle is driven by the first drive component to no longer block the top exit, and the drone on the top exit apron can take off unimpeded; the side exit apron located below the top exit apron is driven by the second drive component to move out from the side exit, so that the drone on the side exit apron can take off unimpeded; compared with only a single-layer apron, the space utilization rate of the drone cabin in this application is higher.

[0009] Optionally, a lateral baffle for shielding a lateral exit is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cabin body, and a control component for controlling the opening and closing of the lateral baffle is provided in the cabin body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the UAV lands on the side exit apron, the side exit apron is retracted into the cabin body by driving the second drive component, and then the side baffle is controlled by the control component to rotate to block the side exit. The matching setting of the side baffle and the control component can protect the UAV on the side exit apron and prevent the UAV on the side exit apron from escaping from the side exit and being lost or damaged.

[0011] Optionally, the control component includes an electric telescopic rod, which is arranged in the cabin body, the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the cabin body, the movable end of the electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the side baffle, and the rotation direction of the electric telescopic rod is the same as the rotation direction of the side baffle.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the electric telescopic rod, when the lateral baffle needs to be opened or closed, it is only necessary to extend or shorten the electric telescopic rod, which has a high degree of automation, a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0013] Optionally, both the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly use electric push rods.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the electric push rod can make the movement response of the top baffle and the side exit apron fast, with a high degree of automation and easy use.

[0015] Optionally, the first drive assembly includes a servo motor and a screw rod, the screw rod is connected to the top of the cabin body along a transverse rotation, the screw rod is passed through the top baffle and is threadedly connected to the top baffle, the servo motor is fixed on the cabin body, and the rotating shaft of the servo motor is coaxially connected to the screw rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor is started to drive the screw to rotate, so that the top baffle has a tendency to rotate with the screw. Since the top baffle is slidably connected to the top of the cabin body, the driving screw can drive the top baffle to slide along the length direction of the screw, thereby realizing the functional requirement of the first drive component to drive the top baffle to move; the top baffle is driven to move by the transmission method of the screw, so that the movement of the top baffle is smoother and more reliable.

[0017] Optionally, the second drive assembly includes a gear, a rack, a synchronous sprocket and a synchronous chain, the rack is arranged on the side exit apron along the sliding direction of the side exit apron, the gear is rotatably connected to the cabin body, the gear is meshed with the rack, the synchronous sprocket is coaxially connected to the gear and the screw rod respectively, and the synchronous chain is jointly arranged on two synchronous sprockets.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the rotation of the screw rod can drive the gear to rotate through the transmission of the synchronous sprocket and the synchronous chain, thereby driving the rack to move, and then driving the side exit apron connected to the rack to slide; the servo motor in the first drive assembly is used as a power source to synchronously drive the side exit apron to slide, and there is no need to set up a new power source, thereby saving costs.

[0019] Optionally, a power cabinet for charging the drone is provided in the cabin body.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the power cabinet can enable the drone to be charged in time after being parked in the cabin, which is convenient to use.

[0021] Optionally, both the ejection apron and the side exit apron are provided with electric clamps, and the electric clamps are used to clamp the UAV.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the electric clamp can clamp and fix the drone parked on the top exit apron and the side exit apron, reducing the probability of damage caused by shaking when the drone is stored in the cabin.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. When in use, the top baffle is driven by the first driving component to move so as to no longer block the top exit, and the drone on the top exit apron can take off directly; the side exit apron is driven by the second driving component to move out from the side exit, and the drone on the side exit apron can also take off directly. Compared with the apron with only a single layer, the space utilization rate of the drone cabin in this application is higher;

[0025] 2. The servo motor and the lead screw are set so that starting the servo motor can drive the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the top baffle to move along the length direction of the lead screw, thereby driving the top baffle to block and release the top outlet. The lead screw transmission method makes the movement of the top baffle more stable and reliable;

[0026] 3. The matching arrangement of gears, racks, synchronous sprockets and synchronous chains enables the rotation of the lead screw to drive the gears to rotate through the transmission of the synchronous chain and the synchronous sprocket, thereby driving the rack to move, thereby driving the side exit apron connected to the rack to move out of or into the cabin door, without the need to set up a new power source, thus saving costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] The present application embodiment discloses a drone cabin with an automatically open door. Figure 1The UAV cabin with automatic door opening includes a cabin body 1, a power cabinet 2, a top exit apron 3 and a side exit apron 4. The cabin body 1 is a rectangular box as a whole. The top exit apron 3 and the side exit apron 4 are arranged in the cabin body 1 along the upper and lower intervals, and the top exit apron 3 and the side exit apron 4 are both provided with electric clamps 5 for clamping the UAV; the power cabinet 2 is fixedly installed in the cabin body 1, and the power cabinet 2 is used to charge the UAV placed on the top exit apron 3 and the side exit apron 4.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The ejection apron 3 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the cabin body 1 in the transverse direction, a top outlet 11 is provided on the top wall of the cabin body 1 corresponding to the ejection apron 3, a top baffle 12 for shielding the top outlet 11 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the top wall of the cabin body 1, and a first driving assembly 6 for driving the top baffle 12 to slide is provided on the cabin body 1. Exemplarily, the first driving assembly 6 adopts an electric push rod 61, which is arranged on the outer surface of the top wall of the cabin body 1 in the transverse direction, and the output end of the electric push rod 61 is connected to the top baffle 12.

[0036] The side exit apron 4 is connected to the cabin body 1 by sliding in the transverse direction, and the side exit apron 4 is located below the top exit apron 3. The side exit apron 4 is arranged with two layers at intervals, and a side exit 13 is provided on the left and right side walls of the cabin body 1 corresponding to each layer of the side exit apron 4. The cabin body 1 is provided with a second drive assembly 7 for driving the side exit apron 4 to slide into or out of the cabin from the side exit 13. Exemplarily, the second drive assembly 7 also adopts an electric push rod 61, and the electric push rod 61 in the second drive assembly 7 is fixedly installed in the cabin body 1 in the transverse direction, and the output end of the electric push rod 61 is connected to the side exit apron 4.

[0037] When the drone is needed, the first drive assembly 6 is started to push the top baffle 12 to slide, so that the top baffle 12 no longer blocks the top exit 11, and the electric clamp 5 on the ejection apron 3 releases the grip of the drone, and the drone on the ejection apron 3 can fly out from the top exit 11 without obstacles. At the same time, the second drive assembly 7 is started to push the side exit apron 4 out of the side exit 13, and the electric clamp 5 on the side exit apron 4 releases the grip of the drone, and the drone on the side exit apron 4 can take off from the side exit apron 4 without obstacles. Compared with a single-layer apron, the multi-layer ejection apron 3 and the side exit apron 4 have higher space utilization.

[0038] In addition, in order to block the side exit 13 to protect the drone in the cabin, a side baffle 14 for blocking the side exit 13 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cabin body 1 through a hinge 141. The area of ​​the side baffle 14 matches the area of ​​the side exit 13, and a control component for controlling the opening and closing of the side baffle 14 is provided in the cabin body 1.

[0039] The bottom of the lateral baffle 14 is connected to the side wall of the cabin body 1 by rotation in the transverse direction, and the control component includes an electric telescopic rod 8, the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 8 is connected to the cabin body 1 by rotation in the transverse direction, and the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 8 away from the fixed end is connected to the side wall of the lateral baffle 14 close to the cabin body 1 by rotation, and the swing direction of the electric telescopic rod 8 is the same as the swing direction of the lateral baffle 14. By starting the electric telescopic rod 8 to control the length of the electric telescopic rod 8, the functional requirement of the control component to control the opening and closing of the lateral baffle 14 can be achieved, and the structure is simple and easy to use.

[0040] The implementation principle of the drone shelter with automatic door opening in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when in use, the first driving component 6 is started to drive the top baffle 12 to slide and no longer block the top exit 11, and then the electric clamp 5 on the ejection apron 3 is released to clamp the drone, so that the drone located on the ejection apron 3 can fly out without obstacles. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 8 is controlled to extend so that the side baffle 14 rotates downward, so that the side baffle 14 no longer blocks the side exit 13, and then the second driving component is started to drive the side exit apron 4 to move out from the side exit 13, and the electric clamp 5 on the side exit apron 4 is released to clamp the drone, so that the drone located on the side exit apron 4 can fly out without obstacles. The multi-layer side exit apron 4 set below the ejection apron 3 has a higher space utilization rate than the apron with only a single layer; and through the setting of the electric telescopic rod 8 and the electric push rod 61, the overall automation degree of the shelter body 1 is higher and it is easy to use.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] The embodiment of the present application discloses a drone cabin with an automatically open door. The difference between the embodiment 2 of the present application and the embodiment 1 of the present application is that, with reference to Figure 3The first driving assembly 6 includes a servo motor 62 and a screw rod 63. The screw rod 63 is connected to the top wall of the cabin body 1 by rotating along the sliding direction of the top baffle 12. The screw rod 63 is penetrated through the top baffle 12 and is threadedly connected to the top baffle 12. The servo motor 62 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the top wall of the cabin body 1 in the transverse direction. The rotating shaft of the servo motor 62 is coaxially welded and fixed with the screw rod 63. When it is necessary to drive the top baffle 12 to slide, the servo motor 62 is started to drive the screw rod 63 to rotate, so that the top baffle 12 has a tendency to rotate with the screw rod 63. Since the top baffle 12 is slidably connected to the cabin body 1, the screw rod 63 can be rotated to drive the top baffle 12 to slide along the length direction of the screw rod 63. The top baffle 12 is driven to move by the screw rod 63, so that the movement of the top baffle 12 is more stable and reliable.

[0043] The second driving assembly 7 includes a gear 71, a rack 72, a synchronous sprocket 73 and a synchronous chain 74. The gear 71 is connected to the cabin body 1 in a lateral rotation. The rotation axis of the gear 71 is in the same length direction as the screw rod 63. The rack 72 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the side exit apron 4 in a lateral direction. The bottoms of the upper and lower side exit aprons 4 are both welded and fixed with racks 72. Both racks 72 are meshed with the gear 71. Rotating the gear 71 can drive the rack 72 to move, thereby driving the side exit apron 4 fixed to the rack 72 to move into or out of the cabin body 1 from the lateral exit 13.

[0044] There are two synchronous sprockets 73, one of which is coaxially connected to the screw rod 63, and the other is coaxially welded and fixed to the gear 71, and the synchronous chain 74 is arranged on the two synchronous sprockets 73. When the servo motor 62 is started to drive the screw rod 63 to rotate, the gear 71 can be driven to rotate, thereby synchronously driving the side exit apron 4 to slide, and the cost is saved by sharing the servo motor 62 as a power source.

[0045] The implementation principle of the drone shelter with automatic door opening in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: start the servo motor 62 to drive the screw rod 63 to rotate, so that the top baffle 12 slides along the length direction of the screw rod 63; at the same time, the screw rod 63 rotates to drive the synchronous sprocket 73 coaxially connected thereto to rotate, and through the transmission of the synchronous sprocket 73 and the synchronous chain 74, the gear 71 is driven to rotate, and then the two racks 72 are driven to slide, and finally the side exit apron 4 welded and fixed to the rack 72 is driven to move out or move into the shelter body 1. The movement of the top baffle 12 and the movement of the side exit apron 4 share a power source of the servo motor 62, which saves costs and is easy to use.

[0046] The above are all optional embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
