[0015] 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 a drone lands, since the two deployment platforms of the drone nest shell are in a deployed state, the deployment platforms and the apron on the surface of the centering and clamping device form a relatively large drone recognition area, which is conducive to the drone smoothly landing in the apron area, reducing the possibility of misidentification of the drone and reducing the possible damage to the drone; When the drone lands on the apron of the centering and clamping device on the drone nest shell, if there is a deviation when the landed drone is parked on the parking apron, the drone is adjusted and centered by the centering and clamping device; Then, the two drone nest top covers of the drone nest shell are turned over and closed to fold and store the two deployment platforms and wrap the drone in the accommodation space formed by the two drone nest top covers; When the drone takes off, the two drone nest top covers are turned over and opened, the two deployment platforms are opened, and the centering and clamping device expands, so that the drone can take off smoothly.

[0016] Specifically, when the drone nest top cover of the drone nest housing 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 drone nest base form a drone recognition area, increasing the drone's recognizable area, reducing the possibility of misidentification of the drone, and reducing the 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 elastic hinge A. During the closing process of the drone nest top cover, the drone nest top cover drives the spring hinge A to be compressed and rotate, thereby folding and storing the unfolding platform. At the same time, as the drone nest top cover further closes, 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 drone nest top covers. It should be noted here that at this time, the unfolding 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 unfolding platform loses its limit and will become unfolded again under the action of the elastic hinge A and the elastic hinge B.

[0017] When the centering and clamping device is working, when the drone lands on the parking apron and there is a deviation in the landing position of the drone, the two X-direction clamping rods are driven to move relative to each other by the X-direction driving mechanism, and the two Y-direction clamping rods are driven to move relative to each other by the Y-direction driving mechanism to clamp and center the drone, thus avoiding the problem of parking error of the drone and enabling the drone to park at the designated position. When the drone needs to take off, the two X-direction clamping rods are driven to move away from each other by the X-direction driving mechanism, and the two Y-direction clamping rods are driven to move away from each other by the Y-direction driving mechanism, so that the drone can take off smoothly.

[0033] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 15 shown, in this embodiment, a drone storage nest device with an unfolding platform is provided, which includes a drone nest housing B and a centering and clamping device A arranged on the upper surface of the drone nest housing; an opening B3 is provided on the upper surface of the drone nest housing, a support frame B7 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the opening, the centering and clamping device is installed in the opening, and the apron of the centering and clamping device is exposed on the upper surface of the drone nest housing in an open state.

[0035] During operation: When the drone lands, since the two deployment platforms on the outer shell of the drone nest are in the deployed state, the deployment platforms and the apron on the surface of the centering and clamping device form a relatively large drone recognition area, which is conducive to the smooth landing of the drone within the apron area, reducing the possibility of misidentification of the drone and minimizing potential damage to the drone. When the drone lands on the apron of the centering and clamping device on the outer shell of the drone nest, if there is a deviation in the position of the landed drone on the parking apron, the centering and clamping device adjusts and centers the drone. Then, the two drone nest top covers on the outer shell of the drone nest flip and close, folding and storing the two deployment platforms, and the drone is wrapped within the accommodation space formed by the two drone nest top covers. When the drone takes off, the two drone nest top covers flip open, the two deployment platforms open, and the centering and clamping device expands, enabling the drone to take off smoothly.

[0036] In the first embodiment of the present utility model, the outer shell of the drone nest includes a drone nest base B1 and deployable platforms B2 disposed on both sides of the drone nest base and capable of opening and closing. The surface of the drone nest base has a parking apron area for the drone, and the apron and the surface of the deployed platform in the open state together form a drone recognition area. Drone recognition images can be arranged within the drone recognition area for the drone to identify, so as to land smoothly on the parking apron area.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the deployment platform B2 includes a long L-shaped aluminum plate B21 and a short L-shaped aluminum plate B22. 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 AB23, 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 BB24.

[0038] In order to ensure the size of the deployment platform while enabling the deployment platform to be received inside the drone nest when the drone nest is closed, the deployment 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 deployment platform can effectively reduce the weight while ensuring the strength.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the bent portion B211 of the long L-shaped aluminum plate abuts against the bent portion B212 of the short L-shaped aluminum plate, and the elastic hinge B is disposed 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 causes the bent portion of the long L-shaped aluminum plate to always abut against the bent portion of the short L-shaped aluminum plate, keeping the long L-shaped aluminum plate and the short L-shaped aluminum plate in an unfolded planar state.

[0040] In order to ensure that the two aluminum plates of the platform form a plane when unfolded, a bent portion is added to 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.

[0041] The elastic hinges A and B are both prior arts, and they adopt the structure of loose-leaf and coil spring to maintain the opening and closing angles of the elastic hinges.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present utility model, in order to ensure that the deployment platform does not deform and improve its strength, a plurality of reinforcing aluminum bars B25 are arranged on the surface of the long L-shaped aluminum plate.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present utility model, drone nest top covers B4 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 it.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present utility model, each drone nest top cover is connected to the drone nest base through two hinge assemblies B5. Each hinge assembly B5 includes two bearing seats B51 arranged on the side of the drone nest base. A rotatable rotating shaft B52 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 B53 for driving the rotation of the rotating shaft is also arranged on the drone nest base. A cover B54 is arranged outside the hinge assembly.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a drawer B6 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.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the drone nest top cover B4 includes a frame B41 and a cover plate B42. 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 B43 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.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present utility model, when the outer shell of the drone nest is working: 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 drone nest base form a drone recognition area, increasing the drone recognizable area, reducing the possibility of misidentification of the drone, 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 rotate, thereby folding and storing the unfolding platform. At the same time, as the top cover of the drone nest further closes, 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 abut against the inner wall of the drone nest under the elastic force of the spring hinge A and the elastic hinge B. When the two top covers of the drone nest are opened, the unfolding platform loses its limit and will become unfolded again under the action of the spring hinge A and the elastic hinge B.

One of the X-direction sliders is in threaded cooperation with the front section of the X-direction screw rod, and the other X-direction slider is in threaded cooperation with the rear section of the X-direction screw rod. The X-direction screw rod is driven to rotate by an X-direction screw rod motor A514. The X-direction slider is fixed to the X-direction moving seat of the X-direction clamping mechanism.

[0054] One of the above Y-direction screw rod slider mechanisms is equipped with a Y-direction screw rod motor, which is the active module; the other Y-direction screw rod slider mechanism is not equipped with a Y-direction screw rod motor, which is the driven module; the two Y-direction screw rod slider mechanisms are connected by a Y-direction synchronous component.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the bottom plate is connected to the helipad through a plurality of support columns A9, and both ends of the support columns are respectively connected to the bottom plate and the helipad through screws.

[0056] By separating the X and Y driving mechanisms from the X and Y clamping mechanisms into two layers, the vertical space inside the drone nest is effectively utilized, avoiding the influence of sundries such as dust and gravel brought by the outside on the driving mechanism during the landing process of the drone, damaging the motor and the module, and further affecting the normal operation of the drone.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present utility model, in order to reduce the weight of the bottom plate and improve the heat dissipation effect, a plurality of hollow holes A101 are uniformly arranged on the bottom plate.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present utility model, in order to facilitate moving, a handle A10 is installed on the bottom plate.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present utility model, when the centering clamping device works: when the drone lands on the parking pad, the two X-direction clamping rods are driven to move relatively by the X-direction driving mechanism, and the two Y-direction clamping rods are driven to move relatively by the Y-direction driving mechanism, clamping and centering the drone, thereby avoiding the problem of parking error of the drone and enabling the drone to park at the designated position; when the drone needs to take off, the two X-direction clamping rods are driven to move away from each other by the X-direction driving mechanism, and the two Y-direction clamping rods are driven to move away from each other by the Y-direction driving mechanism, so that the drone can take off smoothly.

[0060] In the third embodiment of the present utility model, on the basis of the second embodiment, in the embodiment of the present utility model, an X-direction photoelectric patch A11 is arranged inside the X-direction screw slider, and two X-direction photoelectric switches A12 are arranged on the X-direction guide rail.

The Y-direction photoelectric patch cooperates with the two Y-direction photoelectric switches.

[0062] After the UAV lands on the platform, the X-axis lead screw motor of the X-axis drive mechanism is powered on to provide power, driving two X-axis sliders on the two X-axis lead screws to move synchronously relative to each other, thereby driving the X-axis clamping mechanism to perform clamping and centering adjustment movement. When the X-axis slider drives the X-axis photoelectric patch to move to the end point where the photoelectric switch is blocked, the X-axis lead screw motor stops moving, and the X-axis clamping movement is completed; subsequently, the Y-axis lead screw motor of the Y-axis drive mechanism is powered on to provide power, driving two Y-axis sliders on the two Y-axis lead screws to move synchronously relative to each other, thereby driving the Y-axis clamping mechanism to achieve relative movement clamping and centering; the centering position of the UAV is adjusted by the movement of the X-axis clamping mechanism and the Y-axis clamping mechanism.

[0064] In addition, a UAV charging module can be installed on the X-axis clamping mechanism and the Y-axis clamping mechanism to clamp and charge the UAV after it lands, thereby ensuring the endurance of the UAV.
