[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0034] Refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 For an embodiment provided by the present invention: An unmanned aerial vehicle hangar includes a base 1. The base 1 is a cuboid with a square top view. A limiting mechanism 2 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1. The limiting mechanism 2 includes sliding sleeves 21. The number of sliding sleeves 21 is set to four, and the midpoints of the four sliding sleeves 21 are respectively arranged on the lines connecting the midpoints of the four sides of the base 1 and the center point of the top end. The shape of the sliding sleeve 21 is a cuboid. Grooves with the same depth are opened at both ends of the sliding sleeve 21 far from the center of the base 1. A control bar 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 21. The shape of the control bar 22 is L-shaped, and the outer wall of each control bar 22 is slidably connected to the inner walls of two adjacent sliding sleeves 21. The size of the control bar 22 fits the shape and size of the groove opened in the sliding sleeve 21. A slider 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the control bar 22. The shape of the slider 23 is a cuboid.
[0035] Refer to Figure 4 - Figure 6 For the limiting mechanism 2, it further includes a sliding groove 24. The sliding groove 24 is opened on the upper surface of the base 1. The width of the sliding groove 24 fits the width of the slider 23. The outer wall of the slider 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 24. One end of the slider 23 close to the middle of the base 1 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 24 through a first spring 25. One end of the first spring 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 23 close to the middle of the base 1, and the other end of the first spring 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 24. A control rod 26 is fixedly connected to the left end of the left sliding sleeve 21. A baffle 27 is penetrated and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the control rod 26. A groove whose shape fits the control rod 26 and the baffle 27 is opened on the left surface of the base 1. The right end of the baffle 27 is elastically connected to the left surface of the base 1 through a second spring 28. One end of the second spring 28 is fixedly connected to the right end of the baffle 27, and the other end of the second spring 28 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the base 1.
[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, a protective cover 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the base 1. The protective cover 3 is in the shape of a hollow cuboid. One end and the lower end of the protective cover 3 close to the middle of the base 1 are both open, and the other four sides are closed. Moreover, a cuboid protrusion is provided on the side of the bottom end of the protective cover 3 away from the base 1, and the bottom end of the cuboid protrusion of the protective cover 3 is on the same plane as the bottom end of the base 1. Through the setting of the cuboid protrusion, it is ensured that the protective cover 3 will not tilt downward due to gravity after moving outward, resulting in deformation after long-term use. The number of the protective covers 3 is set to two, and the two protective covers 3 are axially symmetrically arranged with the plane corresponding to the center of the left surface and the right surface of the base 1 as the axis of symmetry. A sealing strip is provided at one end where the two protective covers 3 are close to each other.
[0037] Refer to Figure 2 - Figure 4 , an adjustment component 4 is jointly provided at the front end of the base 1 and the inside of the protective cover 3. The adjustment component 4 includes gears 41. The gears 41 are rotatably connected to the front end of the base 1. The number of the gears 41 is set to two. A rack 42 is slidably connected to the front surface of the base 1 in the middle of the two gears 41. A shielding frame 43 is fixedly connected to the front end of the base 1 outside the gears 41. Through the setting of the shielding frame 43, it is ensured that the gears 41 are not easily in contact with the outside during use, so that impurities that affect their rotation are not easily present at the tooth positions of the gears 41. A control board 44 is slidably connected to the middle of the shielding frame 43. The rear end of the control board 44 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rack 42. The width of the control board 44 is shorter than the width of the rack 42. A cylinder 45 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1 at the front end of the shielding frame 43. The output shaft of the cylinder 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the control board 44. The rotating shaft of the gear 41 penetrates the inner wall of the shielding frame 43 and is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 46. A driving block 47 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 46. A sliding groove 48 is provided on the inner wall of the protective cover 3. The driving block 47 is arranged inside the sliding groove 48. The driving block 47 is in the shape of a cylinder. The width of the sliding groove 48 fits the diameter of the driving block 47. The sliding groove 48 is in the shape of a vertical straight groove opening.
[0038] Working principle: When in use, when the staff needs to use the drone, the staff starts the cylinder 45, so that the output end of the cylinder 45 drives the control board 44 to move upward, so that the control board 44 drives the rack 42 to move upward, so that the rack 42 drives the left gear 41 to rotate counterclockwise, and at the same time drives the right gear 41 to rotate clockwise.
[0039] When the two gears 41 rotate, the rotating shafts of the two gears 41 drive the connecting rod 46 to rotate, so that the top end of the connecting rod 46 moves away from the base 1. During the movement of the connecting rod 46, the connecting rod 46 drives the driving block 47 to move together, and the driving block 47 squeezes the inner wall of the sliding groove 48 during the movement to drive the protective cover 3 to move.
[0040] Due to the shape of the sliding groove 48, even though the moving path of the driving block 47 is arc-shaped, it can still remain inside the sliding groove 48.
[0041] When the protective covers 3 are separated from each other, the control rod 26 is not squeezed at this time. Therefore, the control rod 26 moves to the left under the elastic force of the second spring 28, and drives the leftmost sliding sleeve 21 to move to the left, so that the leftmost sliding sleeve 21 drives the control bar 22 to move to the left.
[0042] During the process of the two control bars 22 inside the leftmost sliding sleeve 21 moving to the left, the two control bars 22 drive the sliders 23 below them to move to the left. Due to the restriction of the sliding groove 24 on the sliders 23, when the sliders 23 move to the left, they move away from each other in the front-back direction, and drive the two middle sliding sleeves 21 in the left-right direction to move away from each other during the movement.
[0043] During the movement of the two middle sliding sleeves 21, they drive the two control bars 22 on the right to move away from each other in the front-back direction, so that the two control bars 22 on the right drive the sliders 23 below them to move away from each other in the front-back direction. Also, because the sliders 23 are inside the sliding groove 24, when the two control bars 22 on the right move away from each other in the front-back direction, they also move to the right, thereby driving the rightmost sliding sleeve 21 in the left-right direction to move to the right.
[0044] Therefore, when the protective covers 3 are completely separated, the drone is not limited by the sliding sleeves 21 and the control bars 22 at this time, and the staff can start the drone normally.
[0045] When the drone is retracted, the staff activates the cylinder 45, so that the output shaft of the cylinder 45 drives the control plate 44 to move downward, so that the control plate 44 drives the rack 42 to move downward, so that the left gear 41 rotates clockwise, and the right gear 41 rotates counterclockwise, so that the rotating shaft of the gear 41 drives the connecting rod 46 to rotate, so that the connecting rod 46 drives the protective cover 3 to reset through the driving block 47.
[0046] During the resetting process of the protective cover 3, the protective cover 3 presses the control rod 26, causing the control rod 26 to move to the right. As a result, the control rod 26 drives the leftmost sliding sleeve 21 to move to the right, and through the leftmost sliding sleeve 21, drives the two left control bars 22 to move to the right. Through the combined action of the slider 23 and the sliding groove 24, during the process of moving to the right, the two control bars 22 move closer to each other in the front-rear direction, thereby driving the two sliding sleeves 21 in the middle in the left-right direction to move closer to each other in the front-rear direction, causing the two middle sliding sleeves 21 to move closer to each other in the front-rear direction, and further causing the two right control bars 22 to move closer to each other in the front-rear direction.
[0047] Since the two right control bars 22 drive the sliders 23 below them during movement, under the restriction of the sliding groove 24, while the two right control bars 22 move closer to each other in the front-rear direction, they also move to the left, causing the four sliding sleeves 21 and the control bars 22 to move towards the middle of the base 1 simultaneously, achieving the effect of centering the drone while closing the protective cover 3.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
