Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an opening and closing device for an automatic airport of an unmanned aerial vehicle and a single-door automatic airport. Background Art

[0002] With the deepening of the understanding of the application value of unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles have shown a rapid development trend in the consumer, industrial and military markets, and unmanned aerial vehicles are used more and more in many fields. However, the flight time of unmanned aerial vehicles has become the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of unmanned aerial vehicles. Although lithium-ion batteries are currently the batteries with the best comprehensive performance in the market, they still cannot fully meet the flight time requirements of unmanned aerial vehicles. Therefore, the charging problem of unmanned aerial vehicles must be considered during the use of unmanned aerial vehicles.

[0003] Automatic airports for storing unmanned aerial vehicles and charging and replacing batteries for unmanned aerial vehicles have emerged. However, for existing large and medium-sized automatic airports for unmanned aerial vehicles, their hatch opening and closing structures are basically composed of two hatches and two driving structures, etc., which are bulky and costly. Because there are two hatches, there will be a gap between the two hatches when the hatches are closed. In the case of heavy rain, rainwater will flow into the airport from the gap. To solve the problem of rainwater flowing into the airport from the gap, it is necessary to add waterproof sealing strips, diversion grooves and other structures. Adding structures means increasing costs, and at the same time, the waterproof sealing strips will age and fail, resulting in gaps. It is only a matter of time before rainwater flows into the airport from the gap. Moreover, the two hatches will occupy a large amount of space when in the open state. Summary of the Utility Model

The rocker 30 is hinged to the cabin door 103 through the rocker hatch hinge 11; the main purpose of connecting the two ends of the rocker through hinges respectively is to control the cabin door 103 to move in a circular motion with the rocker 30 as the circular radius.

[0040] The airport body 102 and the drive shaft support seat 161 are locked and integrated by bolts without movement; the driving device 15 is fixed on the airport body 102, the driving device drives the drive shaft 16 to rotate, and both ends of the drive shaft 16 are connected to the drive shaft support seat 161 through holes and bearings; the drive shaft 16 and the driving device 15 are assembled together through shafts, holes, key grooves and keys; the drive shaft 16 and the gear 13 are assembled together through shafts, holes, key grooves, keys and bolts; the rack 14 and the cabin door 103 are locked and integrated by bolts; the gear 3 and the rack 14 are engaged by teeth. The slider of the guide rail slider 12 and the slider hinge 17 are locked by bolts; the slider hinge 17 and the drive shaft 16 are connected through holes and bearings; the guide rail slider 12 is fixed on the cabin door 103 by bolts through the guide rail 18; the guide rail slider 12 controls the gear 13 on the drive shaft 16 and the rack 14 on the cabin door 103 to always maintain tooth engagement during the circular motion with the rocker 20 as the circular radius.

[0041] Steps for closing the cabin door: The driving device 15 drives the drive shaft 16 to rotate counterclockwise through the key; the drive shaft 16 drives the gear 13 to rotate counterclockwise through the key; the gear 13 drives the rack 14 to move counterclockwise through tooth engagement; the cabin door 103 is restricted by the rocker 20 and moves in a circular motion with the rocker 20 as the circular radius under the counterclockwise driving force of the rack 14. When the cabin door 103 completely covers the airport body 102, the driving device 15 stops working and the closing of the cabin door is completed. The steps for opening the cabin door are opposite to the closing steps, which are mainly determined by the positive / negative direction of the movement of the driving device and will not be elaborated here.

[0042] In summary, the present utility model provides an opening and closing device for an automatic drone airport and a single-door automatic airport. The rocker arm driving device drives the rocker arm to move. The rocker arm is connected to the rocker arm support seat through a rocker arm hinge. One end of the rocker arm rotates around the rocker arm support seat through the rocker arm hinge. The other end of the rocker arm is connected to the cabin door of the automatic drone airport and drives the cabin door of the automatic drone airport to open / close through the drive of the rocker arm driving device. The rocker arm support seat is fixed on the body of the automatic drone airport. Through the assembly constraints among the rocker arm driving device, the rocker arm, the rocker arm hinge, the rocker arm support seat, the single cabin door and the body of the automatic drone airport, the automatic drone airport only needs one cabin door, which solves the defect that rainwater will flow into the airport interior from the gap in the structure of two cabin doors of the existing large and medium-sized automatic drone airports, and also reduces the cost. By controlling the gear on the drive shaft and the rack on the cabin door through the guide rail slider to always maintain tooth engagement during the circular movement with the rocker arm as the circumferential radius, it has the advantages of firmness, durability, waterproofness, and convenient installation.
