[0018] Please refer to Figure 1-2 A device for mounting a drone nest on a traffic pole includes a fixing plate 2 mounted on top of a traffic pole 9. The fixing plate 2 has a cable hole that connects to the interior of the traffic pole 9. The cable hole allows the power cord of the drone nest 8 to be connected to the power supply line inside the traffic pole 9. A mounting base 1 connected to the drone nest 8 is located above the fixing plate 2, and a clamping mechanism connected to the traffic pole 9 is located below the fixing plate 2.
[0019] The clamping mechanism includes a fence 3 provided on the outer peripheral side of the traffic pole 9, a clamping hoop 4 provided on the outer peripheral side of the fence 3, and a locking bolt 6 inserted into the locking hole of the clamping hoop 4. The fence 3 includes a plurality of vertically arranged slats 12, which are arranged equidistantly along the circumference with the traffic pole 9 as the center. The top surface of each slat 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing plate 2, and the inner side surface of each slat 12 matches the outer peripheral surface of the traffic pole 9. The slats 12 are made of metal and have a certain degree of elasticity. During installation, the fixing plate 2 is placed on the top of the traffic pole 9 so that the fence 3 hugs the outer peripheral surface of the traffic pole 9. Then, the clamping hoop 4 is placed on the outside of the fence 3 and tightened with the locking bolt 6. At this time, the inner side surface of each slat 12 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the traffic pole 9, making it easy to disassemble and securely fixed.
[0020] Preferably, the mounting base 1 is a frame structure fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The frame structure can effectively enhance the strength of the fixing plate, reduce the thickness of the fixing plate to achieve the required strength, reduce the overall weight of the mounting device, and improve the portability and installation efficiency of the device. A number of first mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the top surface of the mounting base 1. The first mounting holes are provided with first mounting bolts 5 for connecting to the drone nest 8. A receiving groove for accommodating the wiring harness at the bottom of the drone nest 8 is formed between the mounting base 1 and the fixing plate 2. The receiving groove facilitates the arrangement and hiding of the wiring harness of the drone nest, making the overall structure neater and protecting the wiring harness from direct interference from the external environment. A drainage hole 11 leading to the receiving groove is provided on the side of the mounting base 1. The drainage hole 11 can prevent accumulated water from damaging the drone nest 8 and its internal equipment.
[0021] Preferably, the wire hole is opened in the center of the fixing plate, the mounting base 1 is a rectangular frame structure, and the mounting base 1 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 2 on the outer peripheral side of the wire hole. In this embodiment, the fence, the fixing plate and the mounting frame are fixedly welded into one.
[0022] Preferably, the fixing plate 2 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 10 along the circumference with the traffic bar as the center, and second mounting bolts 7 for connecting to the traffic bar 9 are provided in the second mounting holes 10. In this way, the mounting device can be fixed to the traffic bar 9 via the second mounting bolts 7 and / or the clamping mechanism.
[0023] Preferably, the cross-section of a common traffic pole 9 is usually circular, quadrilateral or octagonal. To improve the fixing effect, 4 to 8 strips 12 are provided (8 strips are provided in this embodiment); the inner side surface of the hoop 4 matches the outer side surface of the fence 3.
[0024] Working principle: The utility model is a drone nest installation device applied to traffic poles. When in use, first place the fixing plate 2 on the top of the traffic pole 9, so that the fence 3 hugs the outer peripheral surface of the traffic pole 9, and then place the clamp 4 on the outside of the fence 3 and tighten it with the locking bolt 6. If there is a mounting hole on the top of the traffic pole 9, the fixing plate 2 can also be further locked with the second mounting bolt 7; then place the drone nest 8 on the mounting base 1, connect and fix it to the mounting base 1 with the first mounting bolt 5, and connect it to the traffic pole through the wire hole to complete the installation.
[0025] The present invention utilizes a clamping mechanism that tightly connects to the traffic pole 9, ensuring the stability of the mounting device. The rationally designed mounting base 1 and drainage holes 11 facilitate the installation, disassembly, and routine maintenance of the drone nest 8. The drainage holes 11 effectively prevent water accumulation from damaging the drone nest 8 and its internal equipment. By adjusting the dimensions of the clamping mechanism and mounting base, the drone can be easily installed on traffic poles of varying diameters and heights. This invention enables drones to be mounted on top of most traffic poles 9 without disrupting the structure and function of the poles themselves, fully utilizing vertical space in cities and avoiding the occupation of ground resources. It also prevents interference from low ground obstacles on drone takeoff and landing, expanding the scope of drone use in traffic management and improving the safety and efficiency of drone operations.
[0026] Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
