[0002] A drone is a pilotless aircraft capable of remote control or autonomous flight. Drones were initially used for military purposes, but with technological advancements, their application has gradually expanded to civilian use. Drones, especially multi-rotor drones, require a stable environment for takeoff and landing. Landing on uneven surfaces can easily cause tilting or collisions, affecting the aircraft's stability, necessitating a landing pad.

[0003] Chinese patent publication CN205295974U discloses a smart drone landing pad, comprising a drone landing panel, a GBS module, a contactless wireless charging module, and an electromagnet mounting structure module, all of which are installed within the landing panel. This simple and ingeniously designed landing pad effectively addresses the challenges of drone landing, parking, charging, and automatic cargo reception.

[0004] In actual applications, it is found that the helipad needs to be flat and obstacle-free to prevent the drone from tilting during takeoff or landing, resulting in instability or damage. The helipad in the above patent will tilt when placed on a site with an inclined angle, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, this paper proposes a smart helipad for drones. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides an intelligent parking apron for drones, which can automatically adjust according to the inclination of the site so that the parking apron always remains level.

[0007] The first balancing mechanism includes a frame, a fixed rod is fixed on the frame, a bearing A is rotatably connected to the fixed rod, the upper end of the bearing A is fixed to the bottom surface of the shutdown housing, a T-shaped rod is fixed on the bearing A, and a counterweight A is fixed to the lower end of the T-shaped rod.

[0008] The second balancing mechanism includes two connecting blocks fixed on the frame, a connecting rod perpendicular to the direction of the fixed rod is fixed between the two connecting blocks, a bearing B with a seat is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, and the bearing B with a seat is fixed to the mounting shell through the mounting rod, and a fixing column is fixed on the bottom surface of the two connecting blocks, and a counterweight block B is fixed between the two fixed columns.

[0009] Specifically, the GPS module is installed inside the shutdown shell, and a wireless charging device is installed inside the shutdown shell.

[0010] Specifically, an LED lamp is installed on the top surface of the shutdown housing, and the outer contour of the LED lamp is ring-shaped.

[0011] Furthermore, an indicator mark is provided on the top surface of the shutdown housing, and the outline of the indicator mark is H-shaped.

[0012] Specifically, a square hole is provided at the bottom of the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the frame is a hollow structure, which can effectively reduce the weight of the frame.

[0014] Specifically, there are two bearing blocks A, and the upper ends of the two bearing blocks A are fixed to the bottom surface of the shutdown housing.

[0015] The utility model provides an intelligent parking apron for drones, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The intelligent drone landing pad has a parking shell that is rotatably connected to the fixed rod through a seat bearing A, and the seat bearing A is connected to the counterweight A through a T-rod. Therefore, a force-saving lever is formed with the seat bearing A as a resistance arm, the fixed rod as a fulcrum, and the T-rod as a power arm. Under the action of the gravity of the counterweight A, the force-applying end of the T-rod, that is, the end where the counterweight A and the T-rod are fixed, is always downward, while the parking shell fixed at the upper end of the seat bearing A always remains horizontal. When the device is placed on a tilted site, although the mounting shell is tilted, the parking shell remains horizontal under the action of the force-saving lever. Similarly, the connecting rod serves as a fulcrum, the fixed column serves as a power arm, and the frame and the connecting block serve as a resistance arm, so that the parking shell remains horizontal under the action of the force-saving lever.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent helipad for a drone, including a mounting shell 1 and a parking component 2.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 A first balancing mechanism 3 and a second balancing mechanism 4 are arranged on the mounting shell 1 and the shutdown assembly 2. The first balancing mechanism 3 includes a frame 301. The frame 301 is a hollow structure, which can effectively reduce the weight of the frame 301. A square hole is opened at the bottom of the frame 301, which further reduces the weight of the frame 301. A fixing rod 302 is fixed on the frame 301, and a bearing A303 with a seat is rotatably connected to the fixing rod 302. There are two bearings A303 with seats. The upper ends of the two bearings A303 with seats are fixed to the bottom surface of the shutdown shell 201. The arrangement of two bearings A303 with seats can better support the shutdown shell 201. The upper end of the bearing A303 with seats is fixed to the bottom surface of the shutdown shell 201. A T-shaped rod 304 is fixed on the bearing A303 with seats, and a counterweight A305 is fixed to the lower end of the T-shaped rod 304.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second balancing mechanism 4 includes two connecting blocks 401 fixed on the frame 301, and a connecting rod 402 perpendicular to the direction of the fixed rod 302 is fixed between the two connecting blocks 401. The connecting rod 402 can rotate on the seat bearing B403. The rotation of the connecting rod 402 will drive the connecting block 401, the fixed column 404, the counterweight block B405, and the frame 301 to rotate. The connecting rod 402 is rotatably connected to the seat bearing B403, and the seat bearing B403 is fixed to the mounting shell 1 through the mounting rod. The bottom surfaces of the two connecting blocks 401 are fixed with fixed columns 404, and the counterweight block B405 is fixed between the two fixed columns 404.

[0032] Specifically, with the connecting rod 402 as the fulcrum, the fixed column 404 as the power arm, the frame 301 and the connecting block 401 as the resistance arm, under the action of the gravity of the counterweight block A305, the fixed column 404 will remain in a vertical state, and since the counterweight block B405, the fixed column 404, the connecting block 401, and the frame 301 are fixed to each other, the frame 301 will remain in a horizontal state.

[0033] Working principle: When the device is placed on a tilted site, the shutdown housing 201 is connected to the fixed rod 302 by means of the seat bearing A303, and the seat bearing A303 is connected to the counterweight A305 by means of the T-shaped rod 304. Therefore, a force-saving lever is formed with the seat bearing A303 as the resistance arm, the fixed rod 302 as the fulcrum, and the T-shaped rod 304 as the power arm. Under the action of the gravity of the counterweight A305, the force-applying end of the T-shaped rod 304, i.e., the end where the counterweight A305 is fixed to the T-shaped rod 304, It is always downward, and the parking shell 201 fixed on the upper end of the seat bearing A303 always remains horizontal. When the device is placed on a tilted site, although the mounting shell 1 is tilted, the parking shell 201 remains horizontal under the action of the effort-saving lever. Similarly, the connecting rod 402 serves as a fulcrum, the fixed column 404 serves as a power arm, and the frame 301 and the connecting block 401 serve as a resistance arm, so that the parking shell 201 remains horizontal under the action of the effort-saving lever. The device can automatically adjust according to the degree of tilt of the site, so that the apron always remains horizontal.
