DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] Regarding the foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of the present utility model, in the following with reference to the attached Figures 1-5In the detailed description of the embodiments, it will be clearly presented. The structural contents mentioned in the following embodiments are all referenced to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0025] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Embodiment 1, a drone launching device, includes a base 1 and an adjusting frame 2, characterized in that:

[0027] The base 1 and the adjusting frame 2 are hinged to each other, and an angle adjusting component is provided between the base 1 and the adjusting frame 2;

[0028] A plurality of groups of launching tubes 3 are detachably connected to the adjusting frame 2. The rear ends of the plurality of groups of launching tubes 3 are threadedly connected with mounting tubes 4. A boosting piston 5 cooperating with the mounting tube 4 is provided in the plurality of groups of launching tubes 3. A transition shell 6 is provided in the mounting tube 4. A retaining cable 7 is connected between the transition shell 6 and the boosting piston 5;

[0029] A medicine box 8 is detachably connected in the transition shell 6. A plurality of groups of launching holes 9 are formed in the transition shell 6. A plurality of groups of air holes 10 are circumferentially formed in the medicine box 8. A heating conductor is provided at the rear end of the medicine box 8;

[0030] A control box 11 cooperating with the heating conductor is provided on the adjusting frame 2;

[0031] Further, two groups of torsion springs 18 cooperating with the adjusting frame 2 are provided on the base 1. The two groups of torsion springs 18 are evenly distributed at both ends of the base 1 and are symmetrically arranged.

[0032] Further, the transition shell 6 is arranged in a thin-walled inverted conical shape, and the medicine box 8 is located at the bottom of the transition shell 6;

[0033] During use, the folding drone is placed into the launching tube 3. The heating conductor is controlled by a controller, so that the chemical medicine in the medicine box 8 is ignited to generate impact gas, which is ejected from the launching holes 9 and the air holes 10, and the boosting piston 5 is launched along the launching tube 3. The drone is launched under the action of the boosting piston 5. A retaining cable 7 is connected between the boosting piston 5 and the transition shell 6. Under the action of the retaining cable 7, the boosting piston 5 will not be launched out. The length of the retaining cable 7 is not greater than the length of the launching tube 3;

[0034] During the next launch, rotate the mounting tube 4 to separate it from the launching tube 3, replace the medicine box 8, then reset the mounting tube 4. The boosting piston 5 enters into the launching tube 3. Under the limitation of the mounting tube 4, the boosting piston 5 is located at the upper end of the transition shell 6, and the retaining cable 7 is located between the boosting piston 5 and the transition shell 6;

[0035] With this launching method, the piston will not separate from the launching tube 3, ensuring that the UAV can be launched while expanding the operating environment of the launch.

[0036] In some embodiments, the angle adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod 12 hinged to the adjustment frame 2. The adjustment rod 12 is provided with a mating groove for mating with the base 1 and a first positioning hole 13 penetrating through the mating groove. The base 1 is provided with a plurality of groups of second positioning holes 14 for mating with the first positioning hole 13. A positioning pin 15 is provided between the first positioning hole 13 and the second positioning hole 14.

[0037] During use, when it is necessary to adjust the launching angle, the spring pin 17 is taken out, and then the positioning pin 15 is taken out. At this time, the adjustment rod 12 can be moved along the adjustment frame 2, so that the first positioning hole 13 on the adjustment rod 12 corresponds to the second positioning holes 14 at different positions on the base 1. After inserting the positioning pin 15 and the spring pin 17, the angle of the adjustment frame 2 can be adjusted.

[0038] In some embodiments, dust covers 19 are provided on each of the plurality of launching tubes 3.

[0039] In some embodiments, a handle 20 is provided on the adjustment frame 2.
