[0008] In one embodiment, a groove is provided on the first guide rail, and when the curved hangar door closes the access passage, the first guide wheel is located in the groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, when the curved hangar door opens the access passage, the curved hangar door drives the first guide wheel to move out of the groove. The moving direction of the curved hangar door when opening the access passage is a first direction, and the opening of the groove is inclined along the first direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, when the groove is provided at the side wall of the inlet and outlet channel, the inner wall of the groove is connected to the side wall of the inlet and outlet channel, and the groove is a half-groove structure.

[0011] In one embodiment, the UAV side-opening automatic hangar further includes a fourth sealing strip, which is located between the curved hangar door and the side wall of the access passage; when the curved hangar door blocks the access passage, the fourth sealing strip abuts against the curved hangar door and the access passage to ensure a sealed fit between the curved hangar door and the access passage.

[0012] In one embodiment, the drone side-opening automatic hangar further comprises a first sealing strip, which is arranged at the bottom wall of the access passage. When the curved hangar door closes the access passage, the first guide wheel is located in the groove, and the bottom wall of the curved hangar door abuts against the first sealing strip. The first sealing strip seals the bottom wall of the curved hangar door with the bottom wall of the access passage.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0036] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientations or positional relationships in which the product of this application is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" and the like are used solely for distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] It should also be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application provides a drone side-opening automatic hangar and a drone operation system. In the first aspect, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the UAV side-opening automatic hangar includes a cylindrical shell 100 and a curved hangar door 200.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the cylindrical housing 100 is a cavity; Figure 4 As shown, a storage chamber 120 is formed on the side wall of the cylindrical housing 100, and an access channel 110 is formed on the side wall of the cylindrical housing 100. For example, the access channel 110 connects the external space with the internal space of the cylindrical housing 100, allowing drones or other materials, such as batteries, to enter and exit the cylindrical housing 100 through the access channel 110. For example, the access channel 110 is a polygonal channel, such as a quadrilateral or pentagon. In another embodiment, the access channel 110 is a circular channel. For ease of understanding, the technical solution of this application is described below using the quadrilateral access channel 110 as an example.

[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the curved hangar door 200 is slidably installed in the storage chamber 120, and the curved hangar door 200 is located at the entrance and exit passage 110. Figure 3 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the moving direction of the curved hangar door 200 . When the curved hangar door 200 extends out of the storage chamber 120 , the access passage 110 can be closed. When the curved hangar door 200 enters the storage chamber 120 , the access passage 110 is opened.

[0041] The curved hangar door 200 in the present application is arranged in the storage chamber 120 of the cylindrical shell 100. The curved hangar door 200 can extend or retract into the storage chamber 120. The action of the curved hangar door 200 to open or close the entrance and exit passage 110 does not increase the space occupied by the drone side-opening automatic hangar, so that the drone side-opening automatic hangar of the present application can be deployed in a relatively small space, such as in a vehicle, a cabin or a room, thereby improving applicability.

[0042] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the UAV side-opening automatic hangar further includes a first guide rail 320, which is disposed on the cylindrical shell 100. Exemplarily, the first guide rail 320 is fixed to the cylindrical shell 100 by welding, gluing, clamping, bolting or integral molding.

[0043] The first guide rail 320 is located below the curved hangar door 200 . The curved hangar door 200 is slidably engaged with the first guide rail 320 . The curved hangar door 200 slides along the extending direction of the first guide rail 320 .

[0044] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the UAV side-opening automatic hangar further includes a first guide wheel 300, which is rotatably mounted on the curved hangar door 200. In order to more intuitively reflect the first guide wheel 300, Figure 4 The curved hangar door 200 is omitted.

[0045] The first guide wheel 300 cooperates with the first guide rail 320 , and the moving path of the curved hangar door 200 is consistent with the extension direction of the first guide rail 320 , so that the first guide rail 320 can guide the first guide wheel 300 and the curved hangar door 200 to move.

[0046] The first guide rail 320 is located below the first guide wheel 300 in the direction of gravity. The first guide rail 320 can provide a supporting force in the opposite direction of gravity for the first guide wheel 300 and the curved hangar door 200 .

[0047] The first guide wheel 300 is mounted on the first guide rail 320 , so that the first guide rail 320 can guide the curved hangar door 200 to extend or retract into the storage chamber 120 .

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, a groove 322 is provided on the first guide rail 320 .

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, when the curved hangar door 200 closes the access passage 110, the first guide wheel 300 is located in the groove 322. The inner wall of the groove 322 can limit the first guide wheel 300 from rolling out of the groove 322 to a certain extent. When the curved hangar door 200 shakes or vibrates, the groove 322 will limit the displacement of the first guide wheel 300 and the curved hangar door 200, preventing the curved hangar door 200 from opening accidentally, thereby improving reliability and safety.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the curved hangar door 200 closes the access passage 110, the first guide wheel 300 is located in the groove 322. When the curved hangar door 200 needs to be opened, the curved hangar door 200 is moved, and the movement of the curved hangar door 200 drives the first guide wheel 300 to move, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the first guide wheel 300 gradually moves out of the groove 322 and slides on the first guide rail 320 .

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, when the curved hangar door 200 opens the access passage 110, the curved hangar door 200 drives the first guide wheel 300 to move out of the groove 322. The movement direction of the curved hangar door 200 when opening the access passage 110 is a first direction. The opening of the groove 322 is inclined along the first direction, so that the first guide wheel 300 can more easily roll out of the groove 322, thereby reducing the resistance to opening the curved hangar door 200.

[0052] like Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, when the groove 322 is provided at the side wall of the access passage 110, the inner wall of the groove 322 is connected to the side wall of the access passage 110, and the groove 322 is a semi-groove structure 322a; when the curved hangar door 200 closes the access passage 110, the side wall of the access passage 110 can block the movement of the first guide wheel 300, prevent the curved hangar door 200 from being excessively opened, and increase the fit between the curved hangar door 200 and the side wall of the access passage 110.

[0053] It should be understood that the access channel 110 has two side walls, such as Figure 4 As shown, one of the side walls of the access passage cannot provide blocking and sealing functions for the curved hangar door due to the presence of a storage chamber or other structure next to it. Therefore, in this embodiment and the embodiments below, unless otherwise specified, the side wall of the access passage 110 is generally assumed to be the side wall of the access passage 110 away from the storage chamber, and the side wall is in a relative position to the side wall where the storage chamber is provided.

[0054] like Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, multiple grooves 322 are spaced apart, and multiple first guide wheels 300 are correspondingly spaced apart. One of the grooves 322 is a half-groove structure 322a. Exemplarily, the spacing between the grooves 322 is an arithmetic progression K. Accordingly, the spacing between the first guide wheels 300 is also an arithmetic progression K. This ensures that during the opening of the curved hangar door 200, at least two first guide wheels 300 are located outside the opening of the grooves 322, preventing all first guide wheels 300 from falling back into the grooves 322 during the opening of the curved hangar door 200.

[0055] When the curved hangar door 200 blocks the access passage 110 , all first guide wheels 300 are located in the corresponding grooves 322 .

[0056] When the curved hangar door 200 is opening, the first guide wheels 300 move out of the grooves 322, and at least two first guide wheels 300 are located outside the grooves 322. During the opening process of the curved hangar door 200, most of the first guide wheels 300 will pass through the grooves 322 corresponding to the other first guide wheels 300. If at least two first guide wheels 300 do not enter the grooves 322 and engage with the guide rail surfaces of the first guide rails 320, the first guide wheels 300 engaged with the guide rail surfaces can support the remaining first guide wheels 300, preventing the remaining first guide wheels 300 from falling into the grooves 322 corresponding to the other first guide wheels 300.

[0057] Therefore, if at least two first guide wheels 300 cooperate with the guide rail surface of the first guide rail 320 , a stable support can be formed for the curved hangar door 200 .

[0058] For example, the number of the first guide wheels 300 may be three, four, five or six, etc. Correspondingly, the number of the grooves 322 may be three, four, five or six, etc.

[0059] In one embodiment, the drone side-opening automatic hangar further includes a fourth sealing strip 540, which is located between the curved hangar door 200 and the side wall of the access passage 110. Exemplarily, the fourth sealing strip 540 is fixed to the curved hangar door 200. However, in another embodiment, the fourth sealing strip 540 is fixed to the side wall of the access passage 110. The fixing method includes, but is not limited to, gluing, snapping, bolting, etc.

[0060] When the curved hangar door 200 blocks the access passage 110, the fourth sealing strip 540 abuts the curved hangar door 200 and the access passage 110, thereby ensuring a sealed fit between the curved hangar door 200 and the access passage 110. Furthermore, when the first guide wheel 300 is located in the groove 322 of the semi-trough structure 322a, the fourth sealing strip 540 absorbs vibrations between the curved hangar door 200 and the cylindrical housing 100, thereby maintaining the first guide wheel 300 in the groove 322.

[0061] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the side-opening automatic hangar for drones further includes a first sealing strip 510, which is disposed on the bottom wall of the access passage 110 and located near the first guide wheel 300. When the curved hangar door 200 closes the access passage 110, the first guide wheel 300 is located in the groove 322, and the bottom wall of the curved hangar door 200 abuts the first sealing strip 510. The first sealing strip 510 seals the bottom wall of the curved hangar door 200 with the bottom wall of the access passage 110. When the curved hangar door 200 opens the access passage 110, the first guide wheel 300 moves out of the groove 322, and the bottom wall of the curved hangar door 200 disengages from the first sealing strip 510. This prevents friction between the first sealing strip 510 and the curved hangar door 200, reduces resistance to opening the curved hangar door 200, reduces wear on the first sealing strip 510, and increases the service life of the first sealing strip 510.

[0062] In another embodiment, a second sealing strip 520 and a third sealing strip 530 are further provided at the inlet and outlet passage 110. The four sealing strips are respectively provided on the inner walls of the four sides of the inlet and outlet passage 110 to improve the sealing effect and prevent rainwater, dust and other debris from entering the cylindrical housing 100.

[0063] Illustratively, the second sealing strip 520 is disposed on one side of the inlet and outlet channel 110 near the inner wall of the first guide wheel 300 , and the third sealing strip 530 is disposed opposite to the first sealing strip 510 .

[0064] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the third sealing strip 530 is disposed on the inner wall of one side of the inlet and outlet channel 110 and is located on one side of the first sealing strip 510 and the second sealing strip 520 .

[0065] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the fourth sealing strip 540 is disposed on an inner wall of one side of the inlet and outlet channel 110 and is disposed opposite to the third sealing strip 530 .

[0066] When the curved hangar door 200 closes the access passage 110 , the curved hangar door 200 abuts against and seals the four sealing strips to seal the access passage 110 and prevent debris such as rainwater and dust from entering the cylindrical housing 100 .

[0067] Illustratively, the first sealing strip 510 and / or the second sealing strip 520 and / or the third sealing strip 530 and / or the fourth sealing strip 540 are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the inlet and outlet channel 110 by gluing, clamping, bolting, etc.

[0068] In one embodiment, the upper end of the curved hangar door 200 is an L-shaped plate structure, and the side of the curved hangar door 200 close to the second sealing strip 520 is defined as the upper end. When the first guide wheel 300 is located in the groove 322, the lower end of the curved hangar door 200 (i.e., the end of the curved hangar door 200 close to the first sealing strip 510) abuts against and seals the first sealing strip 510. The L-shaped plate structure at the lower end of the curved hangar door 200 is pressed down onto the second sealing strip 520 to seal the access passage 110. When the first guide wheel 300 is disengaged from the groove 322, the lower end of the curved hangar door 200 is disengaged from the first sealing strip 510, and the L-shaped plate structure at the upper end of the curved hangar door 200 is disengaged from the second sealing strip 520, thereby reducing the friction between the first sealing strip 510, the second sealing strip 520 and the curved hangar door 200, reducing the resistance to opening the curved hangar door 200, reducing the wear of the first sealing strip 510 and the second sealing strip 520, and increasing the service life of the first sealing strip 510.

[0069] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the drone side-opening automatic hangar further includes a second guide rail 330, which is mounted on the cylindrical housing 100 and is arranged on the top inner wall of the access passage 110 opposite to the first guide rail 320. The moving path of the curved hangar door 200 is consistent with the extension direction of the second guide rail 330. The curved hangar door 200 is mounted on the second guide rail 330, and the extension of the second guide rail 330 is consistent with the extension direction of the first guide rail 320. The upper end of the curved hangar door 200 cooperates with the second guide rail 330.

[0070] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the UAV side-opening automatic hangar further includes a second guide wheel 310 .

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, the second guide wheel 310 is rotatably mounted on the curved hangar door 200 at one end away from the first guide wheel 300 .

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the second guide rail 330 is mounted on the cylindrical housing 100 and is disposed opposite the first guide rail 320. The movement path of the curved hangar door 200 is aligned with the extension direction of the second guide rail 330, and the second guide wheel 310 cooperates with the second guide rail 330. The first and second guide rails 320 and 330 guide the movement path of the curved hangar door 200, allowing the curved hangar door 200 to stably extend or retract into the storage chamber 120, preventing the curved hangar door 200 from shaking and improving stability and reliability.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the side wall of the cylindrical shell 100 is a double-layer structure, and there is a gap between the double-layer structure of the side wall of the cylindrical shell 100. The curved hangar door 200 is movably installed in the gap between the double-layer side walls of the cylindrical shell 100 to accommodate the curved hangar door 200, and the inner wall of the double-layer side wall of the cylindrical shell 100 can also limit the displacement of the curved hangar door 200 along the radial direction of the cylindrical shell 100 to prevent the curved hangar door 200 from shaking.

[0074] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the UAV side-opening automatic hangar further includes a drive rack 600 , a drive motor 610 and a drive gear 620 .

[0075] The drive rack 600 is disposed on a side wall of the curved hangar door 200. For example, the drive rack 600 is fixedly disposed on the curved hangar door 200 by welding, riveting, gluing, clamping or bolting.

[0076] The drive motor 610 is disposed on the cylindrical housing 100. For example, the drive motor 610 is fixed to the cylindrical housing 100 by welding, riveting, gluing, clamping or bolting.

[0077] The drive gear 620 is in transmission connection with the output shaft of the drive motor 610 and meshes with the drive rack 600. For example, the drive gear 620 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 610 by welding, riveting, gluing, clamping, or bolting. However, in other embodiments, the drive gear 620 is in transmission connection with the drive motor 610 via a gear box.

[0078] The driving motor 610 rotates to drive the driving gear 620 to rotate, and the driving gear 620 rotates to drive the driving rack 600 and the curved hangar door 200 to move, so that the curved hangar door 200 extends out of or enters the storage chamber 120 .

[0079] For example, the drive rack 600 may be disposed on an outer wall of the curved hangar door 200 , and correspondingly, the drive motor 610 may be disposed on an outer wall of the cylindrical housing 100 .

[0080] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a drone operation system, which includes a drone side-opening automatic hangar as in any of the above embodiments.

[0081] In another embodiment, the drone operation system further includes a drone, which is capable of entering and exiting the cylindrical housing 100 through the entry and exit passage 110 .

[0082] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0083] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
