DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] To make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the following is a brief description of the present invention in conjunction with the attached Figure 1-Figure 5 The present invention is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0018] The towable four-wheeled sand trailer used in this embodiment includes a front wheel assembly 1, a rear wheel assembly 2, and an adjustable frame 7. The front wheel assembly 1 is connected to a front support beam 3, while the rear wheel assembly 2 is connected to a rear support beam 4. Both the front support beam 3 and the rear support beam 4 include a base, which is a frame structure with a lifting bracket attached to the top. The front and rear support beams 3 and 4 are connected by the adjustable frame 7. The adjustable frame 7 comprises a set of opposing upper crossbeams and a set of opposing lower crossbeams. One end of the upper crossbeam is fixed to the upper layer of the rear support beam 4 base, while one end of the lower crossbeam is fixed to the lower layer of the front support beam 3 base. The connection between the two is secured by a locking chute 8, which can be used to adjust the trailer's length. The locking chute 8 in this embodiment includes a left locking slot and a right locking slot. Each of the left and right locking slots is a two-layer structure connected by a cross plate that serves as a weight-reducing hole. The upper layer of the left and right locking slots, respectively, secures the other end of the upper crossbeam, while the lower layer, respectively, secures the other end of the lower crossbeam. The two edges of the locking slide 8 are overlapped on the adjustable frame 7, and the edges are provided with locking holes 14. The locking holes 14 can be used in conjunction with the positioning holes 13 set at different positions on the adjustable frame 7. After the lengths of the upper and lower beams are adjusted, the length of the adjustable frame 7 is fixed by using the positioning pins 12 passing through the locking holes and the positioning holes.

[0019] In this embodiment, a front strap 5 is connected to the lifting bracket of the front beam support 3, and a rear strap 6 is connected to the lifting bracket on the rear beam support 4. The front strap 5 and the rear strap 6 are used to fix the head and tail of the drone that needs to be transferred and transported.

[0020] The front and rear straps of this embodiment have the same structure, and are respectively composed of a support base 15 and movable clamps a16 and b17 hinged at both ends of the support base 15. When the movable clamps a16 and b17 are fastened together, they can form a space to support the head or tail of the drone. The end of the movable clamp b17 is connected to a quick clamp 18, which is connected to the end of the movable clamp a16 to clamp the end of the movable clamp a16. The snap ring at one end of the movable clamp b17 is engaged with the hook at the end of the movable clamp a16, and then locked by the movable plate at one end of the movable clamp b17. A positioning block 19 is installed on the surface of the support base 15, and a protrusion is set on the positioning block 19. The protrusion is connected to the bayonet at the bottom of the drone to limit the drone in the horizontal direction.

[0021] In this embodiment, the front beam support 3 is connected to the tie rod 9 and the steering link 11, respectively, via a steering assembly 10. The steering assembly 10 is connected to the front beam support 3 via a pivot pin a and can rotate about it. The main body of the steering assembly 10 is connected to the tie rod 9 and rotates around the pivot pin a as the tie rod 9 swings left and right. The steering lugs of the steering assembly 10 are connected to the steering link 11 by a pin. During steering, the tie rod 9 rotates the steering assembly 10, which then transmits this motion to the front wheel assembly 1 via the steering link 11, thereby enabling the wheelset to steer.

[0022] Before using the trailer of this embodiment to transfer and transport the drone, the trailer must first be unloaded from the rear box of the pickup truck. The trailer can be loaded and unloaded using a vehicle-mounted crane. After unloading the trailer, unfasten the locating pin 12, move the front wheel assembly 1, the rear wheel assembly 2 and the adjustable frame 7 so that the locking hole 14 on the locking chute 8 coincides with the distal locating hole 13 on the adjustable frame 7, and connect and lock the locating pin 12 to complete the trailer deployment. Connect the traction rod 9 to the steering assembly 10 to ensure a stable connection and smooth steering. Unfasten the quick clamp 18 of the front strap 5 and the rear strap 6, flip the movable card plate a16 and the movable card plate b17 to the open state, lift the drone, and move it to the top of the trailer. Align the bottom bayonet of the drone with the positioning block 19 on the support base 15, slowly drop the drone, and observe whether the positioning block is completely in contact with the drone. After confirming that the drone is placed in the correct position, flip back the movable pallet a16 and movable pallet b17 and use the quick clamp 18 to clamp and fix them. After confirming that the drone is fixed well, it can be transferred and transported.

[0023] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
