Detailed implementation manners

[0032] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model more clearly, so they are only examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a UAV road monitoring vehicle, including a vehicle body 200, a take-off and landing platform 300 and an energy supply equipment 400.

[0034] Specifically, the vehicle body 200 includes a cab 210 and a rear trunk 220. A monitoring screen 211 is provided in the cab 210, and the rear trunk 220 is provided with an openable tailgate. The take-off and landing platform 300 is arranged in the rear trunk 220. The take-off and landing platform 300 is used for the UAV inspection equipment 100 to dock. The take-off and landing platform 300 can slide out of the rear trunk 220 through the rear trunk 220 to expose the UAV inspection equipment 100 outside. The energy supply equipment 400 is arranged in the rear trunk 220. The energy supply equipment 400 is used to provide the energy for the operation of the UAV inspection equipment 100.

[0035] During use, the UAV inspection equipment 100 is located on the take-off and landing platform 300, and the energy supply equipment 400 stores energy in the rear trunk 220. Subsequently, the take-off and landing platform 300 slides out of the rear trunk 220 from the tailgate, and the UAV inspection equipment 100 can take off for corresponding work. The take-off and landing platform 300 retracts into the rear trunk 220. When the UAV inspection equipment 100 needs to land, the take-off and landing platform 300 extends out of the rear trunk 220 again. After the UAV inspection equipment 100 lands, the take-off and landing platform 300 retracts into the rear trunk 220 again.

[0036] In addition, the UAV road monitoring vehicle can flexibly provide a take-off and landing platform 300 for the road UAV inspection equipment 100 and can also provide energy for the road UAV inspection equipment 100.

[0037] In this embodiment, the energy supply device 400 includes a charging mechanism 410 and a refueling mechanism 420. The charging mechanism 410 is used to supply electrical energy to the UAV inspection device 100, and the refueling mechanism 420 is used to supply fuel to the UAV inspection device 100. It should be noted that when the energy required by the UAV inspection device 100 is electrical energy, it is provided by the charging mechanism 410; when the energy required by the UAV inspection device 100 is fuel, it is provided by the refueling mechanism 420; when the energy required by the UAV inspection device 100 is a hybrid type, it can be provided by the charging mechanism 410 and the refueling mechanism 420 simultaneously. The charging mechanism 410 includes a generator 411 and a distribution box 412. The distribution box 412 is connected to the generator 411, and the electrical energy generated by the generator 411 is converted by the distribution box 412 and then supplied to the UAV inspection device 100.

[0038] In this embodiment, louver windows 221 are provided on the left and right side walls of the tail box 220, and an exhaust fan for driving the air flow is provided inside the tail box. The louver windows 221 and the exhaust fan can accelerate the air circulation inside the tail box 220 to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the UAV system.

[0039] As a preferred implementation, an auxiliary device 500 is provided on the right side inside the tail box 220. The auxiliary device 500 includes a fire extinguisher 510 and a wire reel 520. In addition, a seat is provided in the cab 210, and a foldable table board 600 for placing items is provided on the back of the seat. Items such as a computer that are needed can be placed on the table board.

[0040] In this embodiment, the takeoff and landing platform 300 includes telescopic guide rails 310, a support plate 320, and a linear motion drive source 330. There are two telescopic guide rails 310, and the two telescopic guide rails 310 are installed on the bottom plate 321 of the tail box 220 opposite to each other in the left-right direction of the tail box 220. The support plate 320 is connected between the two telescopic guide rails 310. The linear motion drive source 330 is fixed inside the tail box 220 and is connected to the support plate 320. The linear motion drive source 330 can drive the support plate 320 to perform telescopic motion along the telescopic guide rails 310.

[0041] In specific implementation, the linear motion drive source 330 can be a telescopic motor or other drive source that can provide linear motion. When the road UAV inspection device 100 needs to take off or land, first open the rear door of the tail box 220, start the linear motion drive source 330, and drive the support plate 320 to slide out of the tail box 220 along the telescopic guide rails 310, then the road UAV inspection device 100 can take off or land.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the support plate 320 includes a bottom plate 321, a movable plate 322, and a buffer structure 323. The bottom plate 321 is fixedly connected between the two telescopic guide rails 310. The movable plate 322 is disposed above the bottom plate 321 through the buffer structure 323, and the road UAV inspection device 100 is located on the movable plate 322.

[0043] Through the buffer structure 323, it can play a buffering role during the takeoff or landing process of the road UAV inspection device 100.

[0044] Specifically, the buffer structure 323 includes an elastic connection sleeve 3231 and a filling liquid 3232. Both ends of the elastic connection sleeve 3231 are hermetically connected between the movable plate 322 and the bottom plate 321, and enclose a closed filling cavity with the movable plate 322 and the bottom plate 321. A pipeline is provided on the elastic connection sleeve 3231, and the filling liquid 3232 can flow into or out of the filling cavity through the pipeline.

[0045] During use, the filling liquid 3232 is filled into the filling cavity through the pipeline. The filling liquid can be water, oil, etc. The filling liquid slowly horizontally lifts the movable plate 322. Since the movable plate 322 is on the liquid surface, the movable plate 322 can be kept in a horizontal state all the time, which is convenient for the takeoff and landing of the UAV inspection device 100; at the same time, the filling liquid can also play a buffering role.

[0046] As a more effective embodiment, the buffer structure 323 further includes a telescopic rod 324. There are multiple telescopic rods 324, and the multiple telescopic rods 324 are connected between the bottom plate 321 and the movable plate 322 at intervals, and are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 321 and hinged to the movable plate 322.

[0047] Through the telescopic rod 324, the probability of the left and right movement of the movable plate 322 can be reduced, thereby further facilitating the takeoff and landing of the UAV inspection device 100.

[0048] When using the above UAV road monitoring vehicle, when landing is required, the landing platform 300 extends out of the tail box 220, and the UAV inspection device 100 can land on the landing platform 300 at any time; at the same time, the power supply device 400 can provide electric energy and fuel for the road UAV inspection device 100 at any time, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of road monitoring; the exhaust fan accelerates the air circulation inside the box body to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the UAV system.

[0049] In addition, during the takeoff and landing process, the landing platform 300 can play a buffering role, thereby preventing the road UAV inspection device 100 from being damaged during the takeoff and landing process, and thus extending the service life.

[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and the description of the present invention.
