In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5The utility model provides a rechargeable UAV launch device 100, which includes a cylindrical launch tube 1 with a receiving space 11, a through hole (not shown in the figure) penetrating one end of the launch tube 1 and communicating with the receiving space 11, a flange 2 fixed to the other end of the launch tube 1, a tube cover 5 provided on the launch tube 1 and covering the through hole, and a UAV 4 received in the receiving space 11.

[0030] The tube cover 5 is fixedly connected to the launch tube 1 via a buckle 6 , and a charging switch plug 23 is provided at one end of the drone 4 close to the flange 2 .

[0031] A charging switch socket 24 is fixed in the flange 2, and the charging switch plug 23 passes through one end of the transmitting tube 1 close to the flange 2 and forms a contact electrical connection with the charging switch socket 24, and the other end of the charging switch socket 24 is used to be electrically connected to an external charging power source through an external charging cable 8.

[0032] Specifically, by inserting the charging switch plug 23 into the charging switch socket 24, the charging switch socket 24 inputs electric energy into the drone 4 through the external charging cable 8, so that the drone 4 can be charged without being disassembled.

[0033] In this embodiment, the charging switch plug 23 and the charging switch socket 24 are made of magnetic materials, which effectively improves the stability of the connection between the charging switch plug 23 and the charging switch socket 24 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the drone 4 is provided with a drop-out connector socket 31 at one end close to the tube cover 5;

[0035] A power switch wire plate 3 is provided on the circumference of the outer circumference of one end of the launch tube 1 close to the tube cover 5, and a groove recessed radially outward along the launch tube 1 is provided on one side of the power switch wire plate 3 close to the accommodating space 11, and the detachable connector socket 31 is fixed in the groove.

[0036] A power-on switch button 33 is provided on the side of the tube cover 5 away from the receiving space 11, and a wire 32 is provided in the receiving space 11. A detachable connector plug is provided on one end of the wire 32, and the detachable connector plug forms a contact connection with the detachable connector socket 31.
