The mounting end of the lifting drive member 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall plate 31, and the bottom wall plate 31 and the inner bottom wall of the receiving cavity are slidably arranged. At the end of the sliding stroke of the storage compartment 3 driven by the sliding drive member 4, the closing wall plate 32 can be spliced with the side wall area to enclose the side wall area. When the hangar and the storage compartment 3 are combined and spliced, the closing wall plate 32 is in the position of the side wall area to isolate the external environment and the receiving cavity.

The first side wall plate 33 and the second side wall plate 34 are arranged at intervals, and the bottom wall plate 31 and the closing wall plate 32 are connected between the first side wall plate 33 and the second side wall plate 34, and any one of the side wall plates is slidably connected to the hangar.
[0045] In one embodiment, the bottom wall plate 31 is connected to the driving side of the sliding drive member 4. The bottom wall plate 31 is driven by the sliding drive member 4 to slide with the hangar, so as to drive the closing wall plate 32 to move closer to or away from the side wall area.
[0046] In one embodiment, the first side wall plate 33 is connected to the driving side of the sliding drive member 4. The first side wall plate 33 is driven by the sliding drive member 4 to slide with the hangar, so as to drive the closing wall plate 32 to move closer to or away from the side wall area.
[0047] In one embodiment, the second side wall plate 34 is connected to the driving side of the sliding drive member 4. The second side wall plate 34 is driven by the sliding drive member 4 to slide with the hangar, so as to drive the closing wall plate 32 to move closer to or away from the side wall area.
[0048] In a specific embodiment, the sliding drive member 4 is provided as an electric push-pull rod. The electric push-pull rod can be fixed at the bottom of the first side wall plate 33. The electric push-pull rod communicates with the control center through the IIC protocol for control communication, providing kinetic energy for the opening and closing of the storage compartment 3. One or more electric push-pull rods are provided. Preferably, two electric push-pull rods are provided. The two electric push-pull rods are arranged in parallel at intervals. By the synchronous movement of the two electric push-pull rods, the movement of the storage compartment 3 is driven, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the movement.
[0049] As a preferred embodiment, the first side wall plate 33 and the second side wall plate 34 are respectively slidably connected to the hangar through sliding tracks.
[0050] As a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the sliding assembly further includes a position detection member 8. The position detection member 8 is installed in the receiving cavity. The position detection member 8 is arranged in the moving direction of the receiving cabin 3. The position detection member 8 is used to detect the in-place information of the receiving cabin 3 to determine whether the hangar and the receiving cabin 3 are fully opened. The position detection member 8 can be set as an infrared sensor. After the position detection member 8 detects that the receiving cabin 3 is fully opened, an electrical signal is output. After the control center receives the electrical signal, it issues an instruction to drive the lifting driving member 5 to drive the environment detection member 7 to rise, preventing structural collision.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, the lifting driving member 5 can be set as an electric telescopic rod, which can be fixed to the receiving cabin 3 through a fastener. The electric telescopic rod communicates with the control center through the I I C protocol. The fixed platform 6 can fix the environment detection member 7 to the top of the lifting driving member 5 through a fastener.
[0052] As a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the environment detection mechanism further includes a position detection member 9 arranged on the end face of the second side wall plate 34 facing the receiving cavity. The position detection member 9 is used to detect the reset information of the fixed platform 6 and the environment detection member 7. After the control center receives the electrical signal from the position detection member 8, that is, when the receiving cabin 3 is fully opened, the control center outputs a driving instruction to the lifting driving member 5 to drive the environment detection member 7 to rise. When the lifting driving member 5 drives the environment detection member 7 to return to its original position, the position detection member 9 is used to judge whether it has been reset in place when the environment detection member 7 returns to the cabin. After the position detection member 9 detects the reset, it sends an electrical signal to the control center, and the control center then executes the instruction to close the receiving cabin 3, avoiding structural collision.
[0053] In some embodiments, the environment detection member 7 is set as a rain and snow sensor, a wind speed sensor or a rainfall sensor to detect the external environment information of the UAV hangar. The hangar and the receiving cabin 3 protect the internal sensor components in the non-working stage to improve the accuracy of the measurement results in the working stage and extend the service life of the sensor components. Among them, the environment detection member 7 supports the MODBUS communication protocol and can communicate with the control center through the RS485 interface.
[0054] The UAV hangar is configured with one or more environment detection mechanisms.
[0055] The UAV hangar provided in this embodiment, referring to Figure 3, and its specific operation process is as follows:
[0056] After receiving the signal that the drone is about to take off, the control center opens the storage compartment 3, specifically by driving the storage compartment 3 to move to the right through the sliding drive member 4;
[0057] When the in-place detection member 8 detects that the closing wall panel 32 has moved to a safe distance, it sends an electrical signal to the control center; the control center controls the lifting drive member 5 to lift the environmental detection member 7 to the working position, and the environmental detection member 7 starts to work and feeds back real-time environmental data. The control center determines whether the drone is allowed to take off according to the real-time data;
[0058] After the drone has completed its work and successfully returned to the cabin, the storage compartment 3 is closed. The control center controls the lifting drive member 5 to first retract the environmental detection member 7 into the storage compartment 3; after the position detection member 9 detects that the environmental detection member 7 has successfully landed at a safe position, it sends an electrical signal to the control center; the control center controls the sliding drive member 4 to pull the storage compartment 3 back to the left.
[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
