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.

[0015] Example 1

[0016] See attached Figures 1 to 3This embodiment improves the field UAV take-off and landing platform, and assembles a wheel-leg balancing mechanism that adapts to all-terrain balance into the take-off and landing platform, so that the UAV can achieve a smooth and balanced landing in a very special terrain when landing. It specifically includes a take-off and landing platform 1, and the lower end surface of the take-off and landing platform 1 is also fixedly provided with a controller 3, a wireless communication module 5, and a battery 6.

[0017] One side of the lifting and landing platform 1 is provided with a balancing leg connecting part 11 protruding along the plane direction, and a group of balancing leg assemblies 2 are respectively arranged on the balancing leg connecting part 11 and at both ends of the other side of the lifting and landing platform 1 opposite thereto, and the three groups of balancing leg assemblies 2 work independently and are respectively electrically connected to the controller 3 on the lifting and landing platform 1, so as to adjust the balance state of the lifting and landing platform 1, and the working bottom ends of the three groups of balancing leg assemblies 2 are respectively provided with self-propelled wheel assemblies 4, and the three groups of self-propelled wheel assemblies 4 work independently and are electrically connected to the controller 3, so as to drive the lifting and landing platform 1 to walk, and the self-propelled wheel assembly 4 includes a bearing cylinder 41 connected to the balancing leg assembly 2, and a walking motor 42 is arranged inside the bearing cylinder 41, and the walking motor 42 is electrically connected to the controller 3, and a walking wheel 43 is coaxially fixed to the output end of the walking motor 42.

[0018] The balancing leg assembly 2 includes an adjustment motor 21, a main attitude adjustment swing arm 22, and an auxiliary attitude adjustment swing arm 23. Each group of balancing leg assemblies 2 is provided with two adjustment motors 21, the two adjustment motors 21 are fixed to the same side of the take-off and landing platform 1, and are symmetrically distributed with the length center line of the take-off and landing platform 1 as a reference. The two adjustment motors 21 work independently and are electrically connected to the controller 3. The output ends of the two adjustment motors 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper end of a main attitude adjustment swing arm 22, and the lower ends of the two main attitude adjustment swing arms 22 are respectively rotatably connected to the upper end of an auxiliary attitude adjustment swing arm 23. The two auxiliary attitude adjustment swing arms 23 are respectively connected to the upper end of the auxiliary attitude adjustment swing arm 23. The lower ends are rotatably connected to the supporting cylinder 41 of the corresponding self-propelled wheel assembly 4. With this arrangement, the controller 3 controls the adjustment motor 21 so that the adjustment motor 21 drives the main attitude adjustment swing arm 22 to rotate, and the auxiliary attitude adjustment swing arm 23 rotates with the rotation of the main attitude adjustment swing arm 22. The two main attitude adjustment swing arms 22 are driven to rotate by the two adjustment motors 21 respectively, so as to achieve the angle adjustment of the main attitude adjustment swing arm 22 and the auxiliary attitude adjustment swing arm 23, thereby achieving the position adjustment of the height direction and the horizontal direction of the self-propelled wheel assembly 4, ensuring that the take-off and landing platform 1 is in a balanced state, and at the same time being able to achieve the crossing of high obstacles.
