Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an outer shell of a drone nest with a deployed platform. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of drone technology, drones are used in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, express delivery, disaster relief, mapping, power line inspection and other aspects. In order to achieve unattended inspection of drones or extend the flight range of drones, drone nests are used as parking points. In order to achieve accurate landing of drones, drone nests generally identify images on the apron to achieve landing. However, due to the limitation of the size of the apron, the recognizable pattern area of the pattern on the current drone nest apron is small, resulting in difficult recognition of drones by drones, and misrecognition may occur, causing the drone to land in other misrecognized areas and causing damage to the drone. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model improves the above problems, that is, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an outer shell of a drone nest with a deployed platform, which increases the recognition area for drone landing and avoids misrecognition caused by a small recognition area, resulting in damage to the drone.

[0004] The utility model is composed of a drone nest base and deployable platforms arranged on both sides of the drone nest base and capable of opening and closing. The surface of the drone nest base and the surface of the deployable platform in the open state together form a drone recognition area.

[0005] Further, the deployable platform includes a long L-shaped aluminum plate and a short L-shaped aluminum plate. One end of the long L-shaped aluminum plate is connected to the upper part of the drone nest base through a spring hinge A, and the other end of the long L-shaped aluminum plate is connected to the short L-shaped aluminum plate through an elastic hinge B.

[0006] Further, the bent parts of the long L-shaped aluminum plate and the short L-shaped aluminum plate are abutted against each other, and the elastic hinge B is arranged above the connection part of the long L-shaped aluminum plate and the short L-shaped aluminum plate.

[0007] Further, a plurality of reinforcing aluminum bars are arranged on the surface of the long L-shaped aluminum plate.

[0008] Further, drone nest top covers are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drone nest base. One end of the drone nest top cover is hinged to the side of the drone nest base, and an accommodation space is formed inside the two drone nest top covers that are turned up and closed to fold and wrap the deployable platform inside.

[0009] Further, the top cover of the drone nest is connected to the base of the drone nest through a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes two bearing seats arranged on the side of the base of the drone nest. A rotatable rotating shaft is inserted through the two bearing seats. The end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top cover of the drone nest. A servo motor for driving the rotation of the rotating shaft is also arranged on the base of the drone nest.

[0010] Further, a cover is arranged outside the hinge assembly.

[0011] Further, a drawer is arranged on the front of the base of the drone nest.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: The device has a simple structure and is convenient to use. When the top cover of the drone nest is in the open state, under the elastic force of the spring hinge A and the elastic hinge B, the long L-shaped aluminum plate and the short L-shaped aluminum plate form a planar unfolding platform. The two unfolding platforms and the parking apron on the top surface of the base of the drone nest form a drone recognition area, increasing the drone recognizable area, reducing the possibility of drone misrecognition, and reducing the possible damage to the drone; When the two top covers of the drone nest are closed, the servo motor drives the two top covers of the drone nest to rotate and close around the elastic hinge A. During the closing process of the top cover of the drone nest, the top cover of the drone nest drives the spring hinge A to be compressed and rotated, thereby folding and storing the unfolding platform. At the same time, as the top cover of the drone nest is further closed, it drives the short L-shaped aluminum plate to also rotate and fold at a certain angle along the elastic hinge B, finally protecting the unfolding platform in the accommodating space formed by the two top covers of the drone nest; It should be noted here that at this time, the unfolding platform will lean against the inner wall of the drone nest under the action of the elastic hinge A and the elastic hinge B. When the two top covers of the drone nest are opened, the unfolding platform loses the limit and will become unfolded again under the action of the elastic hinge A and the elastic hinge B.

[0020] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Embodiment: As Figures 1 - 7 shown, in this embodiment, a drone nest housing with an unfolding platform is provided, which includes a drone nest base 1 and unfolding platforms 2 that are arranged on both sides of the drone nest base and can be opened and closed. The surface of the drone nest base is a parking area 3 for drones. The surface of the drone nest base and the surface of the unfolding platform in the open state together form a drone recognition area; Drone recognition images can be arranged in the drone recognition area for drones to recognize, so as to land smoothly on the parking area.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the unfolding platform 2 includes a long L-shaped aluminum plate 21 and a short L-shaped aluminum plate 22. One end of the long L-shaped aluminum plate is connected to the upper part of the drone nest base through a plurality of spring hinges A23, and the other end of the long L-shaped aluminum plate is connected to the short L-shaped aluminum plate through a plurality of elastic hinges B24.

[0023] In order to ensure the size of the unfolding platform and enable the unfolding platform to be received inside the drone nest when the drone nest is closed, the unfolding platform is formed by setting two aluminum plates instead of one aluminum plate. The two aluminum plates are a long L-shaped aluminum plate and a short L-shaped aluminum plate. Using aluminum plate material for the unfolding platform can effectively reduce the weight and ensure the strength.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the bent portion 211 of the long L-shaped aluminum plate abuts against the bent portion 212 of the short L-shaped aluminum plate, and the elastic hinge B is arranged above the connection of the long L-shaped aluminum plate and the short L-shaped aluminum plate. In the initial state, the spring force of the elastic hinge B makes the bent portion of the long L-shaped aluminum plate always abut against the bent portion of the short L-shaped aluminum plate, so that the long L-shaped aluminum plate and the short L-shaped aluminum plate are kept unfolded in a flat state;

[0025] In order to ensure that the two aluminum plates of the platform form a plane when unfolded, a bent portion is added at the contact surface of the two aluminum plates, that is, the bent portion of the long L-shaped aluminum plate abuts against the bent portion of the short L-shaped aluminum plate, increasing the contact area between the long and short L-shaped aluminum plates.

[0026] Both the elastic hinges A and B are prior arts, and their structures of using hinges and coil springs are used to maintain the opening and closing angles of the elastic hinges.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present utility model, in order to ensure that the deployment platform does not deform and improve its strength, a number of reinforcing aluminum bars 25 are provided on the surface of the long L-shaped aluminum plate.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present utility model, drone nest top covers 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drone nest base. One end of each drone nest top cover is hinged to the side of the drone nest base. An accommodation space is formed inside the two drone nest top covers that can be turned up and closed, so as to fold and wrap the deployment platform inside.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present utility model, each drone nest top cover is connected to the drone nest base through two hinge assemblies 5. Each hinge assembly 5 includes two bearing seats 51 arranged on the side of the drone nest base. A rotatable rotating shaft 52 is inserted through the two bearing seats. The rotating shaft can rotate within the bearing seats. The end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the drone nest top cover. A servo motor 53 for driving the rotation of the rotating shaft is also provided on the drone nest base. A cover 54 is arranged outside the hinge assembly.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a drawer 6 is arranged on the front of the drone nest base, which can be used to store devices such as motor drivers, PLCs, and touch screens.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the drone nest top cover 4 includes a frame 41 and a cover plate 42. The cover plate is arranged on the surface of the frame. In order to prevent the cover plate surface of the drone nest top cover from deforming, a reinforcing rod 43 is also arranged outside the frame. The longitudinal section of the drone nest top cover is U-shaped, and the transverse section is L-shaped.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present utility model, during operation: when the drone nest top covers are in the open state, under the elastic force of the spring hinge A and the elastic hinge B, the long L-shaped aluminum plate and the short L-shaped aluminum plate form a planar deployment platform. The two deployment platforms and the parking apron on the top surface of the drone nest base form a drone recognition area, increasing the drone recognizable area, reducing the possibility of drone misrecognition, and reducing possible damage to the drone; when the two drone nest top covers are closed, the servo motor drives the two drone nest top covers to rotate and close around the spring hinge A. During the closing process of the drone nest top covers, the drone nest top covers drive the spring hinge A to be compressed and rotate, thereby folding and storing the deployment platform. At the same time, as the drone nest top covers are further closed, the short L-shaped aluminum plate is also driven to rotate and fold by a certain angle along the elastic hinge B, and finally the deployment platform is protected in the accommodation space formed by the two drone nest top covers; it should be noted here that at this time, the deployment platform will abut against the inner wall of the drone nest under the action of the elastic hinge A and the elastic hinge B. When the two drone nest top covers are opened, the deployment platform loses its limit and will become in the deployed state again under the action of the elastic hinge A and the elastic hinge B.
