Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aircraft-related equipment, in particular to a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle parking platform. Background Art

[0002] Drones are now being used in a wider range of applications, including aerial photography, mapping, and inspection. At present, the use of drones is mainly limited by battery power. Long-term outdoor work requires timely charging of the battery, but it is difficult to find a power source in time outdoors, and manual charging is complicated, which seriously restricts the efficiency of drone use. Therefore, in the existing technology, there is a vehicle-mounted drone platform device that can be used outdoors in a mobile manner and automatically charges the drone, commonly known as a drone mobile nest.

[0003] The vehicle-mounted drone parking platform is an important component of the mobile machine nest. The drone needs to be stably docked on the platform for subsequent charging. For existing drone platforms, when the drone falls on the platform, it is only limited in the vertical and horizontal directions, and there is no limit in the upper and lower directions, which causes the drone to move up and down when the drone platform moves, which is not conducive to the stable charging of the drone. At the same time, when the drone enters the hangar, it is necessary to use push rods in multiple directions to push the drone to park stably in the center of the drone platform for subsequent charging and docking (such as the drone intelligent mobile machine nest mentioned in the patent document with publication number CN117104565A), which increases the manufacturing cost and operating cost of the entire mobile machine nest. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a vehicle-mounted drone parking platform, which solves the problem that the drone platform in the existing mobile machine nest is prone to up and down movement during the drone charging process, affecting the charging stability, and requires the use of multiple direction pushing rods when pushing the drone for charging and docking.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a vehicle-mounted UAV parking platform, including a parking platform, a lifting assembly for driving the parking platform, and two push rods that can move toward each other synchronously, the opposite sides of the push rods are arranged with charging ports for charging the UAV, and the push rods and the UAV support legs are limited by limit blocks at the upper and lower ends; guide rods are symmetrically arranged between the two push rods, and the sides of the guide rods close to the UAV support legs collide with the UAV support legs as the push rods move toward each other, and push the UAV to correct its posture.

[0006] Preferably, a charging port is arranged in the middle of the opposite sides of the two pushing rods, and a charging plug that matches the charging port and is used to charge the drone is connected to the drone support leg.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end surface of the parking platform is connected to a movable base through a driving assembly, and a movable frame is fixedly connected to the movable base, and the movable frame is fixedly arranged at both ends of the pushing rod.

[0008] Preferably, the guide rod comprises a first guide portion and a second guide portion, the first guide portion and the second guide portion are both provided with an offset groove, and the first guide portion and the second guide portion are respectively arranged on two push rods and arranged facing each other.

[0009] Preferably, when the drone reaches the charging position under the push of the pushing rod, the ends of the first guide portion and the second guide portion that are close to each other are staggered from each other under the action of the offset groove.

[0010] Preferably, the first guide portion and the second guide portion are arranged in a curved surface at one end away from the push rod, and the curved surface is curved in a direction away from the center line of the parking platform.

[0011] Preferably, slots are provided at corresponding portions of the supporting leg of the drone and the first guide portion and the second guide portion, and the two guide portions are snapped into the slots.

[0012] Preferably, the limit block includes a first trapezoidal block and a second trapezoidal block, the first trapezoidal blocks are arranged facing each other and symmetrically on the upper end surface of the push rod, and the second trapezoidal block is fixedly set on the upper end of the drone support leg. When the drone is charging, the first trapezoidal block and the second trapezoidal block are engaged with each other to limit the up and down movement of the drone.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The vehicle-mounted drone parking platform can limit the upper and lower positions of the drone support legs through the limit blocks when charging at the charging port on the drone push rod, and cooperate with the front, back, left, and right limits of the push rod and the guide rod to effectively ensure the stability of the drone during the movement of the parking platform and the stability of the drone during charging; through the guide rod, the posture of the drone can be adjusted as the push rod moves, so that the charging port on the subsequent push rod can be docked with the charging end of the drone for charging. The entire drone platform has a simple structural design, and there is no need to use a push component in another direction to adjust the drone's posture, which reduces the components used to drive the drone to adjust its posture, reduces manufacturing costs, and can also reduce subsequent operating costs.

Specific implementation manner

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. 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.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a parking platform 1 for an unmanned aerial vehicle 7, including a parking platform 1, a lifting component for driving the parking platform 1, and two push rods 2 that can move synchronously and towards each other. Charging ports 5 are arranged in the middle of the opposite sides of the two push rods 2. A charging plug for charging the unmanned aerial vehicle by being matched and plugged with the charging port 5 is connected to the unmanned aerial vehicle support leg 8. The push rod 2 and the unmanned aerial vehicle support leg 8 are clamped and limited up and down through a limiting block 6; guiding rods 3 are arranged symmetrically in pairs between the two push rods 2. The sides of the two guiding rods 3 close to the unmanned aerial vehicle support leg 8 are in contact with the unmanned aerial vehicle support leg 8 and push the unmanned aerial vehicle 7 to correct its posture as the push rods 2 move towards each other.

[0021] It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the structure of the lifting component belongs to a common mechanical structure, which is obvious, and it is not the technical content to be solved in this application, so it will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0022] The utility model, through the setting of the limit block 6, can limit the upper and lower positions of the drone support legs 8 when the drone 7 pushes the charging port 5 on the rod 2 for charging, and at the same time cooperates with the front, back, left, and right limits of the push rod 2 and the guide rod 3, effectively ensuring the stability of the drone 7 during the movement of the parking platform 1, and ensuring the stability of the drone 7 during charging; through the setting of the guide rod 3, the posture of the drone 7 can be adjusted during the movement of the push rod 2, so that the charging port 5 on the subsequent push rod 2 can be docked with the charging end of the drone 7 for charging. The entire drone 7 platform has a simple structural design, and only one set of guide rods 3 is needed to adjust the posture of the drone 7, reducing the components used to drive the drone 7 to adjust the posture, reducing the manufacturing cost, and reducing the subsequent operating cost.

[0023] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end surface of the parking platform 1 is connected to a mobile base through a driving assembly, and a mobile frame 21 is fixedly connected to the mobile base, and the mobile frame 21 is fixedly arranged at both ends of the push rod 2. Through the provided driving assembly and the mobile base, the mobile base can be driven to move, so that the mobile frame 21 drives the two push rods 2 to move toward each other, and the charging port 5 on the push rod 2 is docked with the charging plug of the drone 7, so as to charge the drone 7. In practical applications, the driving assembly can use a driving member composed of a linear module or a driving motor and a lead screw to drive the mobile base to move linearly.

[0024] In this embodiment, the guide rod 3 includes a first guide portion 31 and a second guide portion 32 . The first guide portion 31 and the second guide portion 32 are both provided with a dislocation groove 33 . The first guide portion 31 and the second guide portion 32 are respectively arranged on the two push rods 2 and arranged facing each other.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in this embodiment, when the drone 7 reaches the charging position under the push of the push rod 2, the ends of the first guide portion 31 and the second guide portion 32 that are close to each other are offset from each other under the action of the offset groove 33. Before the push rod 2 drives the charging port 5 to dock and charge the charging end of the drone 7, it is necessary to adjust the posture of the drone 7 for subsequent charging and docking. At this time, since the push rod 2 continuously drives the first guide portion 31 and the second guide portion 32 to move, the first guide portion 31 and the second guide portion 32 continue to conflict with the drone support leg 8, thereby pushing the posture of the swung drone 7 for subsequent docking with the charging port 5 for charging. One end of the first guide portion 31 and the second guide portion 32 are fixedly connected to the push rod 2 by a fixing screw 4, so that the first guide portion 31 and the second guide portion 32 can be quickly installed and disassembled.

[0026] In this embodiment, the ends of the first guiding portion 31 and the second guiding portion 32 away from the push rod 2 are arranged as curved surfaces, and the curved surfaces are curved in a direction away from the midline of the parking platform 1, so as to facilitate gradually straightening the attitude of the drone.

[0027] It should be noted that the landing positioning accuracy of existing drones has reached the centimeter level. The bending angle and bending length of the curved surface can be adjusted according to the landing accuracy of the drone 7 to adapt to drones with different landing accuracies.

[0028] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a column is installed at the lateral end of the support leg 8. A notch matching the guiding portion 3 is provided on the side of the column. After the position of the drone 7 is adjusted, the guiding portion 3 is stuck in the notch to achieve the purpose of upper and lower limit, forming a double insurance of upper and lower limit with the limit block 6.

[0029] Referring to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the limit block 6 includes a first trapezoidal block 61 and a second trapezoidal block 62. The first trapezoidal blocks 61 are arranged opposite to each other and symmetrically on the upper end surface of the push rod 2. The second trapezoidal block 62 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the drone support leg 8. When the drone 7 is charging, the first trapezoidal block 61 and the second trapezoidal block 62 are engaged with each other to limit the up and down movement of the drone 7. By providing the first trapezoidal block 61 and the second trapezoidal block 62, when the attitude of the drone 7 is straightened and the charging port 5 on the push rod 2 is docked with the drone 7 for charging, at this time, the first trapezoidal block 61 and the second trapezoidal block 62 are engaged, so that during the overall movement of the parking platform 1 along with the transportation equipment, the up and down movement of the drone 7 can be effectively limited.
