Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to a multi-rotor UAV nest based on modular design. Background Art
[0002] An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), abbreviated as "drone," is an unmanned aircraft controlled by a radio remote control and self-contained programmable controller, or operated fully or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer. Drones are a general term for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which can be technically categorized as: unmanned fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, unmanned airships, unmanned helicopters, unmanned multirotors, and unmanned paragliders. Compared to manned aircraft, drones offer advantages such as small size, low cost, ease of use, low operational requirements, and enhanced battlefield survivability. They have applications in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro-selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspections, disaster relief, film and television production, and the creation of romantic moments. To better adapt drones to outdoor operations and improve their endurance, the development and application of drone nests is crucial.

[0004] The existing equipment uses up-and-down stacking to fix the two layers of drone cabins, which causes the connection to shake left and right when subjected to lateral impact force, resulting in the two layers of drone cabins being misaligned and falling. Therefore, we proposed a multi-rotor drone nest based on modular design to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] In the present invention, the multi-rotor drone nest based on modular design is:
[0015] 1. This utility model connects the two nest boxes in a modular manner by inserting the fixed slots on the two plug-in blocks at the bottom of one nest box into the outside of the fixed plug-in rods on the two plug-in slots at the top of another nest box. This can be applied to the storage of drones of different orders of magnitude.
[0016] 2. The utility model controls the electromagnet to be energized by the controller to generate magnetic force to adsorb the iron plate, thereby controlling the locking rod to disengage from the through-hole on the fixed plate and opening the flip door.
