The elastic auxiliary pulling member 430 can elastically stretch and retract, and the elastic auxiliary pulling member 430 is connected between the hatch 310 and the bottom plate 410.

[0047] During use, when it is necessary to open the hatch 310, only need to start the rotary drive member 420 to drive the hatch 310 to rotate outwards. On the contrary, when it is necessary to close the hatch 310, drive the hatch 310 to rotate in the reverse direction through the rotary drive member 420 until the hatch opening is covered. During the opening and closing processes, the elastic auxiliary pulling member 430 assists in pulling the hatch 310 to improve the stability of the hatch 310.

[0048] It should be noted that during specific implementation, when hatches 310 are provided on both the left and right sides of the cabin body 300, the rotary drive member 420 and the elastic auxiliary pulling member 430 need to be configured in a matching manner. In addition, multiple elastic auxiliary pulling members 430 between each hatch 310 and the bottom plate 410 can be arranged at intervals.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rotary drive member 420 includes a rotary motor 421 and a connecting rod assembly 422. The rotary motor 421 is arranged on the bottom plate 410. One end of the connecting rod assembly 422 is connected to the power output shaft of the rotary motor 421, and the other end is hinged to the inner wall of the hatch 310. When the rotary motor 421 is started, the hatch 310 can be driven to rotate around the rotating shaft through the connecting rod assembly 422.

[0051] In this embodiment, the elastic auxiliary pulling member 430 includes a spring, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected between the hatch 310 and the bottom plate 410. When the hatch 310 rotates, the spring can play a role in assisting in pulling to prevent the load of the rotary motor 421 from being too high.

[0052] In addition, during specific implementation, an intermediate auxiliary support member 423 can also be provided on the bottom plate 410. The power output shaft of the rotating motor 421 can rotatably pass through the intermediate auxiliary support member 423 and can be connected to the intermediate auxiliary support member 423 through a bearing.

[0053] The intermediate auxiliary support member 423 assists in supporting the power output shaft of the rotating motor 421 to prevent deformation such as bending of the power output shaft of the rotating motor 421.

Threads with opposite helix directions are respectively arranged at both ends of the bidirectional screw 543, and the four centering rods 544 are respectively threadedly connected to the four ends of the two bidirectional screws 543 and can slide along the surface of the centering platform 520.

[0062] When the drone 1 needs to be centered, the second rotating power source 541 and the third rotating power source 542 can be started simultaneously to drive the two bidirectional screws 543 to rotate, thereby driving the four centering rods 544 to push the drone 1 to move along the surface of the centering platform 520 until the charging port is docked with the charging interface.

[0063] Preferably, the centering driving member 540 further includes a guiding rod and a slider. A guiding rod is arranged between two relatively opposite centering rods 544 on the centering platform 520, and the centering rod 544 is slidably connected to the guiding rod through the slider. The stability of the centering rod 544 can be improved through the guiding rod.

[0064] With the above-mentioned drone nest cabin, the drone 1 can be transported to the destination by the vehicle body 100. During use, the cabin door 310 can be automatically opened through the cabin door opening structure 400, which is convenient for the drone takeoff and landing platform 500 to extend. The takeoff or landing of the drone 1 is completed on the drone takeoff and landing platform 500 outside the cabin body 300, thereby reducing the requirement for the sealing performance of the top of the cabin body 300. At the same time, the space for the takeoff or landing of the drone 1 is greatly increased, which is convenient for the takeoff and landing of the drone 1. In addition, the drone 1 can be charged at any time, which further facilitates the use.
