[0003] At present, one of the bottlenecks restricting the application of drones is the battery life. Most drones are powered by power. If the battery capacity is too small, the drone’s battery life will be too short and have no practical application significance. If the battery capacity is too large, the battery’s own weight will affect the battery life. Therefore, providing drones with a landing and charging relay service is one of the effective means to effectively solve the application obstacles caused by the mileage of drones.

[0004] Therefore, drone parking aprons have emerged. Existing drone parking aprons are mostly mobile aprons and multi-position drone aprons with wireless charging technology. When a mobile apron is used, it requires the drone to accurately stop at the designated location before the charging mechanism can charge it. Charging is difficult, and the mobile apron occupies a large area. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a drone parking apron, aiming to solve the problem that the existing drone parking aprons are difficult to charge and occupy a large area.

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0017] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below for illustration.

[0018] For the convenience of explanation, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present utility model are shown.

[0019] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, the drone landing pad includes a pair of chassis, such as Figure 1-2As shown, the left chassis is marked as 1.1, and the right chassis is marked as 1.2, wherein a charging component is arranged in the left chassis 1.1, and a liftable platform 2 is arranged on the chassis together, and a pair of clamping mechanisms are arranged in the transverse and longitudinal directions of the platform 2 respectively, and the clamping mechanism comprises a pair of box bodies 3 mounted on the platform, and a long groove 4 is opened on the inner side of the box body 3, and a clamping screw 5 is rotatably arranged in the box body 3, and a pair of oppositely arranged threaded sections are formed on the clamping screw 5, and each clamping screw 5 is provided with a pair of sliders 6, and a baffle 7 is arranged between the two sliders 6 corresponding to the same direction, wherein the two longitudinally arranged baffles 7 are located between the two chassis, and the four baffles 7 are arranged in a criss-cross shape, and a baffle plate 8 is arranged in the middle of the baffle 7, and a clamping motor 9 for driving the clamping screw 5 to rotate is provided on the side wall of the box body 3.

[0020] With the development of drone technology, drones are becoming more and more widely used. They can not only be used for field painting, but also for other technical fields such as urban security patrols and power grid inspections. When a drone is working, if the battery is low, it can fly to the drone landing pad as required, and the drone landing pad provides a relay service for landing and charging.

[0021] In this device, the left and right chassis serve as carriers of the drone landing pad, and a liftable platform is provided on them. A pair of avoidance openings 10 are opened on the platform, and the chassis is located in the avoidance openings. The avoidance openings serve to avoid the chassis. The platform can move up and down along the height direction of the chassis. As shown in Figure 1, the charging area of ​​the drone is located on the platform and between the two chassis. When the drone descends to the charging area for charging as required, the charging port of the drone is on the same side as the left chassis, and the drone falls in the middle of the four levers. When the drone roughly descends to the charging area, the two pairs of clamping mechanisms located in the horizontal and longitudinal directions work simultaneously, and the clamping mechanisms clamp and position the drone. After that, the platform moves downward for a distance, and the drone moves synchronously until the drone moves to the charging station, and finally the charging assembly charges the drone.

[0022] In this structure, when the clamping mechanism clamps and positions the drone, all the clamping motors simultaneously drive the corresponding clamping screws to rotate, and the clamping screws in the same direction rotate synchronously. Since two oppositely arranged threaded sections are formed on the clamping screws, the two baffle rods in the same direction move toward each other, that is, all four baffle rods move toward the base of the drone until the baffle blocks the base. At this time, the drone is positioned in the charging area.

[0023] The four levers are used to clamp and position the drone, so that the charging port of the drone and the charging station are arranged vertically and horizontally, which is convenient for subsequent charging. On the other hand, the drone can be stably landed on the drone landing pad.

[0024] As a preferred structure, Figure 3 A sliding sleeve 11 is slidably provided at the top of the left chassis 1.1, and a sliding screw 12 is rotatably provided. The sliding screw 12 passes through the sliding sleeve 11. A charging rack 13 is provided on the sliding sleeve 11. A charging head 14 is provided at the end of the charging rack 13. The charging assembly includes a power supply 15. The charging line of the power supply 15 is connected to the charging head 14. A sliding motor 17 for driving the sliding screw to rotate is also provided in the left chassis 1.1.

[0025] In this structure, the side walls of the left and right chassis are both provided with a door 18, wherein the right chassis has a storage function, and the left chassis is provided with a charging assembly. When the drone lands at the designated position of the platform, the clamping mechanism clamps the drone, and at this time, the charging port of the drone is located on the same side as the left chassis. When the drone is to be charged, the platform is first moved downward a certain distance until the drone descends to the charging station. At this time, the sliding motor drives the sliding screw to rotate, and the sliding sleeve moves toward the drone along the length direction of the sliding screw, and the charging head moves toward the charging station until the charging head is inserted into the charging port on the drone, and the power supply can provide charging for the drone.

[0026] In addition, if Figure 2 A slider 19 is vertically provided on one side of the inner end surface of the chassis, and a lifting screw 20 is vertically rotatably provided on the other side. The lifting screw 20 is provided with a lifting sleeve 21. The lifting sleeve 21 and the slider 19 are jointly provided with the carrier 2. A lifting motor 22 for driving the lifting screw 20 to rotate is provided at the bottom of the chassis.

[0027] When the drone needs to be moved to the charging station for charging, the two lifting motors simultaneously drive the corresponding lifting screws to rotate, and the lifting sleeve drives the platform to move downward along the height direction of the lifting screws until the drone moves to the charging station.

[0028] The inner end surface of the left chassis 1.1 is provided with an opening 23. When charging, the charging head passes through the opening and is inserted into the charging port on the drone, and the drone starts charging. At the same time, the drone descends to the charging station for charging, which can reduce some external interference.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
