[0014] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] like Figure 1 , 2 , 3 are specific embodiments of the utility model in which a communication tower with an unmanned aerial vehicle landing pad is installed.

[0016] This embodiment includes a cylindrical tower body 1, on which a drone landing pad is installed. The drone landing pad includes a platform 2, an oblique support rod 3 and two sets of clamps 4. The two sets of clamps 4 are installed one above and one below on the cylindrical tower body 1. One side of the upper clamp 4 is connected to the platform 2, and the platform 2 extends horizontally outward. One side of the lower clamp 4 is connected to the oblique support rod 3, and the oblique support rod 3 is obliquely upward and the upper end is supported on the outer bottom of the platform 2. A drone chassis 5 is arranged on the platform 2.

[0017] When the utility model is in use, two sets of clamps 4 are arranged one above the other to form a stable structural lock on the cylindrical tower body 1; then the platform 2 is installed on one side of the upper clamp 4, and the platform 2 is arranged horizontally to form a placement plane for the drone chassis 5. The upper end of the diagonal support rod 3 forms a support at the bottom of the outer side of the platform 2, and the lower end is installed on the lower clamp 4, forming a triangular structure to stabilize the structure of the platform 2. The drone can rely on the drone chassis 5 for charging and data transmission. The power of the drone chassis 5 can be supplied by solar energy or a power supply box connected to the communication tower. The drone monitors the communication tower itself and the surrounding conditions at the location of the communication tower, and then cooperates with the communication tower for use.

[0018] As an improved specific implementation method, two diagonal support rods 3 are provided, and the lower ends of the two diagonal support rods 3 are connected to the lower clamp 4. The two diagonal support rods 3 separate to the left and right sides when extending obliquely upward, and are connected to the left and right edges of the outer bottom of the platform 2.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the two diagonal braces 3 form a V shape, extending to the left and right edges of the outer bottom of the platform 2, forming a stable structural support for the platform 2. The double-rod structure extended from an installation position of the lower clamp 4 can better improve the overall structural stability of the platform 2, which is sufficient to support the weight of the platform 2 and the UAV chassis 5; the two diagonal braces 3 at a high altitude will not be subjected to wind force, which can reduce the load on the platform 2.

[0020] As an improved specific implementation manner, the platform 2 includes a base frame 21 connected in a cross structure, a flat plate 22 laid on the base frame 21 , and a railing 23 arranged around the base frame 21 .

[0021] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the base frame 21 can be designed and assembled according to the actual area requirements, and the cross structure can be welded into one or installed into one by fasteners; the size of the flat plate 22 is selected according to the area of ​​the base frame 21, and multiple pieces can be arranged as needed for splicing and laying, which is convenient for manufacturing and transportation, and can be flexibly laid according to the area of ​​the base frame 21; the railing 23 is selected according to the circumference of the base frame 21, which is convenient for manufacturing and transportation, and can be installed with the base frame 21 by fasteners or welding, and protects the drone chassis 5 and the drone on the base frame 21.

[0022] As an improved specific implementation method, the base frame 21 includes a plurality of cross bars 211 and longitudinal bars 212, which are vertically cross-connected to form a frame structure, the flat plate 22 is laid on the frame structure, and the railings 23 are arranged on the surrounding cross bars 211 and longitudinal bars 212 to enclose the internal space.

[0023] like Figure 1 ,2 As shown, preferably, a plurality of horizontal bars 211 and vertical bars 212 are installed vertically to form an array structure, which is convenient for manufacturing and assembly, and provides a stable frame support structure for the flat plate 22; the railings 23 can be installed accordingly around the rectangle to maintain the stability of the overall structure and the squareness and orderliness of the internal space, which is convenient for the corresponding installation of the drone chassis 5.

[0024] As an improved specific implementation, two groups of angle steels 6 are installed on the base frame 21 near the upper hoop 4. The two groups of angle steels 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides and the outer ends are connected to the upper hoop 4 for structural reinforcement.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, two groups of angle steels 6 are installed on both sides of the base frame 21, and extend to both sides of the clamp 4 above the box to complete the corresponding installation, thereby improving the firmness of the installation of the base frame 21, and multiple positions are stressed to ensure the structural strength.

[0026] As an improved specific implementation method, the clamp 4 includes multiple connecting plates 41, multiple connecting shafts 42, two groups of docking plates 43 and fasteners 44; the connecting plates 41 are rotatably connected by the connecting shafts 42 to form a chain-like body, and the two ends of the chain-like body are rotatably connected to the docking plates 43 by the connecting shafts 42, and mounting holes 45 are set on the two groups of docking plates 43. The fasteners 44 are installed at the mounting holes 45 to dock the two groups of docking plates 43, so that the whole forms a ring shape and is then installed on the cylindrical tower body 1.

[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, multiple connecting pieces 41 are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft 42, and then the multiple connecting pieces 41 can be wound into a chain to hold the columnar tower body 1; the two ends of the chain body are rotatably connected to the connecting pieces 43 through the connecting shaft 42, and the connecting pieces 43 are provided with fasteners 44 by means of the setting of the mounting holes 45. Preferably, the fasteners 44 can be selected from matching bolts and nuts, and the bolts pass through the mounting holes 45 of the two connecting pieces 43, and then the nuts are continuously screwed in, so that the chain structure holds the columnar tower body 1, and finally the clamp 4 is firmly installed on the columnar tower body 1. Preferably, the inner edge of the connecting piece 41 can be set as an arc inner edge that matches the curvature of the columnar tower body 1. When the chain structure holds the columnar tower body 1, the arc inner edge better fits the curvature of the columnar tower body 1, making the holding state more fitting and improving the tightness of the structural locking.

[0028] The above are only preferred implementations of the utility model. The protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the idea of ​​the utility model belong to the protection scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the utility model should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
