[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientations, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] In addition, in the description of the utility model specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of the present invention include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and "in yet other embodiments" appearing in various places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more but not all embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "including," "comprising," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0028] In current drone racing events, how to improve the viewing experience, competitiveness and fairness of the events through innovative technical means has become the focus of event organizers.

[0029] See also Figure 1-3 The present application proposes an RFID-based drone competition landing platform, comprising: a platform body 1, a drone fixing frame 2 and a program controller 3; the drone fixing frame 2 is used to connect to the drone, the drone fixing frame 2 is provided with an RFID chip 4, the platform body 1 is correspondingly provided with an RFID wireless sensing module 5, the RFID chip 4 is electrically connected to the RFID wireless sensing module 5; the platform body 1 is also provided with a sound unit 6 and a relay 7, the relay 7 is electrically connected to the sound unit 6 and the program controller 3 respectively; when the RFID wireless sensing module 5 detects that the RFID chip 4 enters its effective sensing range, the RFID wireless sensing module 5 sends a trigger signal to the program controller 3, and after receiving the feedback signal, the program controller 3 sends a control signal to the relay 7, and the relay 7 receives the control signal and outputs a high level to the sound unit 6, causing the sound unit 6 to make a sound.

[0030] The precise identification of the RFID wireless sensing module 5 and the RFID chip 4 ensures the accuracy of the drone's landing, eliminating the need for manual judgment or visual observation. This significantly reduces the rate of misjudgment, thereby improving the fairness and professionalism of the competition. This design completely changes the subjective judging issues in traditional competitions, making the competition results more fair and objective.

[0031] When the drone precisely lands at the designated location, the system automatically triggers the sound unit 6 to emit a sound. This instantaneous audio feedback not only enhances the spectator's viewing experience but also fills every moment of the competition with tension and anticipation. Furthermore, the system can be customized by integrating sound modules, such as using specific sound effects or music, to further enhance the atmosphere and increase audience participation and interactivity. A sound trigger module can be developed to generate specific sound effects or music synchronized with the drone's landing to enhance the atmosphere. Speech synthesis technology can also be integrated into the voice trigger module to provide voice prompts or announcements after the drone successfully lands, further enhancing interactivity.

[0032] The entire landing and scoring process requires no human intervention. From RFID sensing to sound feedback, it is fully automated. This not only reduces the workload of event organizers, but also greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of event organization. This means that the event can be carried out more compactly while reducing the uncertainty and risks brought by human operation.

[0033] It should be noted that RFID readers can be designed to accurately read RFID tag information, ensuring accurate identification of drones upon landing. RFID tags can be customized to suit both the drone and the landing pad and embedded in the landing pad to trigger relevant functions. After the RFID reader and tag are manufactured, they are tested and optimized to ensure their stability and reliability in various environments. Preferably, unified control protocols and interfaces are used to receive RFID reader commands and coordinate operations according to pre-set rules. Optionally, RFID hardware design can be improved, using antennas and circuits with stronger anti-interference capabilities, and software optimization can be used to enhance environmental adaptability.

[0034] In some embodiments, the platform 1 is further provided with a light-emitting unit 8, which is electrically connected to the program controller 3. After receiving the feedback signal, the program controller 3 sends a control signal to the light-emitting unit 8 to make the light-emitting unit 8 emit light.

[0035] When the drone lands precisely at the designated location on the platform 1, the RFID signal triggers the light-emitting unit 8, causing it to emit bright and customized lighting effects, which not only provides instant visual feedback for spectators and contestants, enhances the interactivity and viewing experience of the competition, but also allows the progress of the competition to be clearly understood.

[0036] Through programming control, the light-emitting unit 8 can display different colors, brightness and flashing modes according to different landing states or competition stages, creating an atmosphere of excitement or celebration of success, greatly enhancing the sense of presence and viewing experience of the game.

[0037] The immediate response and clear instructions of the light-emitting unit 8 also provide the referee with a more objective and accurate basis for judgment, which helps to reduce human errors and further improve the fairness and professionalism of the competition.

[0038] In some embodiments, the platform 1 is provided with four light emitting units 8 , and the four light emitting units 8 are respectively provided at the four corners of the platform 1 .

[0039] When the drone successfully lands on the platform 1, the four light-emitting units 8 light up at the same time, which not only brings a shocking visual effect to the audience, but also greatly enhances the viewing experience and atmosphere of the game.

[0040] In some embodiments, the program controller 3 is provided with a scoring system, and the platform 1 is further provided with a display device, and the display device (not shown) is used to display the score.

[0041] Optionally, develop a scoring logic based on drone landing accuracy, speed, and other metrics according to the competition rules to ensure fairness and accuracy. Develop a scoring system to record drone scores in real time and display them to the audience via a display screen or projection device. The scoring system can be implemented programmatically.

[0042] Through preset scoring logic, the system can automatically calculate scores based on objective indicators such as the drone's landing accuracy and speed, reducing human intervention, thereby greatly improving the fairness and accuracy of the scoring, ensuring the fairness of the competition, and enhancing the trust of participants and spectators.

[0043] Real-time scoring and display not only allows participants to instantly understand their performance and quickly adjust their strategies, but also provides a more intense and exciting viewing experience for spectators. Viewers can instantly see the latest game progress without having to wait for long manual tallies.

[0044] In some embodiments, the drone racing landing platform also includes a power supply component.

[0045] By integrating power supply components, the drone racing landing platform can maintain stable performance output in various complex environments, without fear of power fluctuations or insufficient power supply, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the overall system.

[0046] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly includes a lithium battery 10 charging chip 9 , a lithium battery 10 and a boost chip 11 .

[0047] In the drone racing landing platform application scenario, when the system needs power, the lithium battery 10 first uses the boost chip 11 to increase the voltage to the required level. This then provides stable power to the program controller 3, RFID wireless sensor module 5, sound unit 6, relay 7, and other electronic devices that may need it. Simultaneously, the lithium battery 10 charging chip 9 continuously monitors the battery's charge level and automatically initiates charging when the battery is low, ensuring continued stable operation of the system.

[0048] In some embodiments, the RFID chip 4 is disposed at the center of the drone fixing frame 2 , and the RFID wireless sensing module 5 is disposed at the center of the platform 1 .

[0049] By placing the RFID chip 4 at the center of the drone fixing frame 2 and corresponding to the RFID wireless sensing module 5 at the center of the platform 1, it can ensure that the drone must be accurately aligned with the center position of the platform 1 when landing in order to be effectively identified, greatly improving the accuracy of landing positioning and reducing misjudgments caused by deviation from the center, thereby further enhancing the fairness and accuracy of the competition.

[0050] In some embodiments, a chip fixing plate 201 is provided in the middle of the drone fixing frame 2 , and a through hole 202 is opened in the chip fixing plate 201 .

[0051] The chip fixing plate 201 provides a precise installation position for the RFID chip 4, ensuring that the chip is always in the center of the drone fixing frame 2.

[0052] The through hole 202 allows the RFID signal to more smoothly penetrate the material of the drone mounting frame 2, reducing signal attenuation and blocking. This ensures that the RFID wireless sensing module 5 can more accurately receive the signal from the RFID chip 4, thereby improving the system's response speed and sensing sensitivity.

[0053] In some embodiments, mounting grooves 203 are provided at both ends of the drone fixing frame 2 , and the mounting grooves 203 are used to connect to the frame of the drone.

[0054] The tight fit between the mounting slot 203 and the drone frame ensures the stability of the drone during landing. Even in high-speed descents or strong winds, it effectively prevents the drone from shaking or falling due to unstable fixation, thus ensuring the safety and smooth progress of the competition.

[0055] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention, and should all be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
