[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a UAV tripod charging structure, including a body 1 and a charging platform 2, wherein both ends of the bottom of the body 1 are fixedly connected to tripods 3, and the bottom of each tripod 3 is fixedly connected to a crossbar 8, and a storage box 7 is fixedly connected to each tripod 3, and a box door 11 is rotatably provided on the front side of the storage box 7. A battery 6 is fixedly connected in the storage box 7, and a power input module 14 is fixedly connected to the front side of the battery 6. A groove 12 adapted to the power input module 14 is opened on the box door 11;

[0020] A charging seat 4 is provided on the top of the charging platform 2 and on one side of the receiving box 7. A charging module 13 adapted to the power input module 14 is provided on one side of the charging seat 4. A support block 10 for opening the box door 11 is provided on the top of the charging seat 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, the addition of the crossbar 8 can enhance the stability of the entire structure and prevent the drone from rolling over on the ground.

[0022] The bottom of the door 11 is adapted to the support block 10 to ensure that when the machine body 1 is lowered, the door 11 touches the support block 10 and can be pushed open.

[0023] When the power input module 14 contacts the charging module 13 , the battery 6 can be charged, and thus the machine body 1 can be charged.

[0024] First, the body 1 is moved to the top of the charging platform 2 by remote control, and then moved downward. The door 11 of the storage box 7 contacts the support block 10 on the charging platform 2 to open the door 11. Then, it moves downward, and the power input module 14 touches the charging module 13, and charging can be carried out.

[0025] Furthermore, a counterweight 23 is provided on the other tripod 3 , and a charging cable 22 is connected to the top of the storage box 7 , and the other end of the charging cable 22 is connected to the body 1 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the position of the counterweight 23 should be determined according to the overall weight distribution and flight stability of the UAV to ensure that the UAV remains balanced during flight.

[0027] The charging cable 22 should be fixed at a suitable location inside or outside the aircraft body 1 to prevent it from getting tangled or damaged during flight.

[0028] Furthermore, placement grooves 9 adapted to the cross bars 8 are provided at both ends of the top of the charging platform 2 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the width of the placement groove 9 is slightly larger than the diameter of the cross bar 8 so that the cross bar 8 can easily slide into and be fixed in the groove. At the same time, the depth of the placement groove 9 should be sufficient to ensure that the drone will not be unstable due to the shaking of the cross bar 8 when landing, thereby ensuring the stability of the body 1 on the charging platform 2.

[0030] Furthermore, a movable plate 5 is provided on the top of the charging platform 2 and on one side of each placement slot 9 in a liftable manner, and a positioning plate 21 for positioning the cross bar 8 is provided on the movable plate 5 in a telescopic manner.

[0031] In this embodiment, the crossbar 8 placed in the placement groove 9 is fixed by the positioning plate 21 to ensure the stability of the body 1 during the charging process.

[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of support columns 15 are provided on the top of the charging platform 2, and a motor 17 is rotatably provided vertically on the bottom of the inner wall of each support column 15. The output shaft of the motor 17 is fixedly connected to a screw rod 18, and a threaded sleeve 19 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw rod 18. The surface of the threaded sleeve 19 is fixedly connected to the slider 16. The movable plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 16, and an electric telescopic rod 20 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 5. The positioning plate 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod 20.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the cross bar 8 is not placed in the placement groove 9 , the positioning plate 21 does not interfere with the placement of the cross bar 8 in the placement groove 9 .

[0034] When the cross bar 8 is placed in the placement slot 9, the motor 17 is started to drive the screw 18 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 19 to slide, thereby driving the movable plate 5 to move above the cross bar 8, and then the electric telescopic rod 20 is started to drive the positioning plate 21 to extend, thereby fixing the cross bar 8 and ensuring stability during the charging process.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of the utility model: After the utility model is installed, the body 1 is first moved to the top of the charging platform 2 by remote control, and then moves downward, so that the box door 11 of the accommodating box 7 conflicts with the support block 10 on the charging platform 2, so that the box door 11 is opened, and then moves downward, and the power input module 14 touches the charging module 13, and charging can be carried out. Then, the motor 17 is started to drive the screw rod 18 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 19 to slide, thereby driving the movable plate 5 to move to the top of the cross bar 8, and then the electric telescopic rod 20 is started to drive the positioning plate 21 to extend, so as to fix the cross bar 8 and ensure stability during the charging process.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
