Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] Refer to Figures 1 - 8, an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a storage or transfer device for an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising: a base 1 for supporting the entire device, on the top of which a protective cover 2 is installed. By placing various components of the unmanned aerial vehicle inside the device, the protective cover 2 can effectively provide external protection for the components of the unmanned aerial vehicle; a bottom support slot 5 for supporting and protecting the bottom of the unmanned aerial vehicle fuselage, which is installed on the top of the base 1; a concave structure with the same shape as the bottom of the unmanned aerial vehicle nose is opened at the top of the bottom support slot 5 for supporting the nose of the unmanned aerial vehicle fuselage structure and limiting the fuselage structure to ensure that it does not shake. A belly support slot 6 for supporting and protecting the belly of the unmanned aerial vehicle fuselage, which is placed in the middle side at the top of the bottom support slot 5. A concave structure matching the belly of the fuselage is provided at the top of the bottom support slot 5 for supporting the belly structure of the fuselage while also preventing the fuselage from shifting due to shaking. An upper support slot 7 above the engine for protecting the engine inside the unmanned aerial vehicle fuselage and carrying the wings of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which is installed on one side of the top edge of the bottom support slot 5. Through the hollow structure inside the upper support slot 7 above the engine, the end of the unmanned aerial vehicle fuselage where the engine is installed is wrapped and covered, and it cooperates with the belly support slot 6 at the bottom to completely wrap and fix the rear half of the fuselage, ensuring that the fuselage does not shake when placed inside the device. An upper support slot 8 above the nose for protecting the nose of the unmanned aerial vehicle fuselage and carrying the wings of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which is placed on the side of the top of the bottom support slot 5 away from the upper support slot 7 above the engine. By matching the concave structure provided at the bottom of the upper support slot 8 above the nose with the nose of the fuselage and combining with the concave structure at the top of the bottom support slot 5, the front half of the fuselage structure is completely wrapped and covered, and it is ensured that the nose of the unmanned aerial vehicle does not shake. An upper support slot 9 above the fuel tank for protecting the fuel tank inside the unmanned aerial vehicle fuselage and carrying the wings of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which is clamped between the upper support slot 7 above the engine and the upper support slot 8 above the nose. By using the upper support slot 8 above the nose to wrap and cover the end of the fuselage in the middle where the fuel tank is installed, it is ensured that other components placed on the top do not press on the middle section of the fuselage, thereby protecting the middle section structure of the fuselage from deformation. A wing protection support 11, which is placed on the top of the upper support slot 7 above the engine, the upper support slot 8 above the nose and the upper support slot 9 above the fuel tank. By using the wing protection support 11 to wrap and cover the wing structure placed on the top of the upper support slot 7 above the engine, the upper support slot 8 above the nose and the upper support slot 9 above the fuel tank, it is avoided that the wing structure shakes and collides with the inner wall of the protective cover 2, ensuring the safety and stability of the wing structure during transportation.

[0041] Refer to Figures 1 - 8, multiple latch handles 3 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the protective cover 2. The latch handles 3 are snap-connected to the base 1. Through the cooperation between the latch handles 3 and the base 1, the protective cover 2 and the base 1 can be stably and quickly installed and disassembled, thereby facilitating the packing and removal of the drone components. Multiple universal wheels 4 for transportation are installed at the bottom of the base 1. The universal wheels 4 facilitate the user to temporarily move the transportation device, providing convenience. On both sides between the support slot 7 above the engine and the support slot 8 above the nose, there are accessory storage chambers for storing other drone accessories. The support slot 7 above the engine and the support slot 8 above the nose are equipped with the fuselage structure of the drone. The fuselage structure is wrapped and limited by each support module, and the extra space formed on both sides forms one of the accessory storage chambers. Through the accessory storage chambers, the accessories of the drone except the fuselage, wings, nose, and tail (engine section) are stored. On both sides of the top of the bottom support slot 5, there are accessory storage chambers for storing other drone accessories. The space on both sides of the top of the bottom support slot 5 is separated by the fuselage structure, forming another accessory storage chamber for storing drone accessories. On the separated sides between the bottom support slot 5 and the support slot 7 above the engine, they are in contact with the inner wall of the protective cover 2, so that the bottom support slot 5 and the support slot 7 above the engine can remain stable under the restriction of the protective cover 2, and then the structures such as the drone fuselage wrapped inside are fixed and protected. The top of the wing protection support 11 is in contact with the inner top wall of the protective cover 2. Based on the wing protection support 11 and the inner top wall of the protective cover 2, it is ensured that after the device is assembled, each support module inside can remain fixed under the restriction of the protective cover 2, thereby protecting the drone components inside. On the tops of the support slot 7 above the engine, the support slot 8 above the nose, and the support slot 9 above the fuel tank, there are wing installation slots 10 for storing the drone wings, and the three wing installation slots 10 are interconnected. By placing the two wing structures crosswise inside the wing installation slots 10, the storage and installation of the wing structures can be quickly completed.

[0042] Working principle: When packaging the drone, first place the bottom support slot 5 on top of the base 1. Then insert the bottom of the belly support slot 6 into the reserved opening at the top of the bottom support slot 5 to assemble the belly support slot 6 on the bottom support slot 5. Subsequently, place the complete fuselage mechanism of the drone on the support structure composed of the bottom support slot 5 and the belly support slot 6. Correspondingly, place other small spare parts in the extra slots on both sides of the bottom support slot 5. Then, the worker inserts the support slot 7 above the engine and the support slot 8 above the nose into the corresponding installation openings at the top of the bottom support slot 5 respectively. At the same time, the support slot 7 above the engine covers and wraps the engine section (tail) of the fuselage, and the support slot 8 above the nose covers and wraps the nose (front section of the fuselage) of the fuselage. Then install the support slot 9 above the fuel tank between the support slot 7 above the engine and the support slot 8 above the nose, and press down until the bottom of the support slot 9 above the fuel tank contacts the top of the fuel tank section (middle section of the fuselage) of the drone fuselage, realizing the complete inclusion and fixation of all the fuselage components of the drone and avoiding shaking during the transportation of the drone. Then place the remaining small spare parts correspondingly in the two accessory storage chambers separated by the fuselage between the support slot 7 above the engine and the support slot 8 above the nose. Then place the wing parts crosswise inside the wing installation slot 10. Finally, cover the wing protection support 11, and buckle the protection cover 2 on the outside of the support module and lock and fix the protection cover 2 and the base 1 through the lock handle 3 to complete the rapid packaging of the drone components.

[0043] When disassembling and taking out the drone components, just first open the lock handle 3 and the protection cover 2. Then first pull out the wing protection support 11 and take out the wings placed in the wing installation slot 10, and remove the corresponding accessory packages on both sides. Then remove the support slot 7 above the engine, the support slot 8 above the nose, and the support slot 9 above the fuel tank, and then take out the complete drone fuselage structure.
