Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted platforms, in particular to a vehicle-mounted platform for inspection drones. Background Art

[0002] The UAV Ground Control Station is a mobile device used to control and operate drones. It is usually a portable terminal device consisting of a computer, display, control panel, communication equipment and power supply. The UAV Ground Control Station allows drone operators to perform flight mission control, navigation, ground monitoring and data collection. The UAV Ground Control Station can greatly improve the operability and reliability of drone flight missions, enabling operators to monitor the status and environment of the drone in real time and make timely control and adjustments. It has a wide range of applications in drone rescue, drone aerial photography, drone operations and other fields.

[0003] An existing patent (authorization announcement number: CN117533553 A) discloses a UAV vehicle-mounted platform, which, through the action of a base plate mechanism and a protective mechanism, can first be installed inside the vehicle and can keep the base plate mechanism and the protective mechanism in a fixed state. In addition, the four UAVs on the outer wall of the inner box can be clamped and fixed by four sets of clamping plates, and can maintain their stable state, thereby avoiding the problem of UAVs sliding or falling during transportation and causing damage. The UAVs can be effectively protected and reduced losses.

[0004] However, the above technical solution still has certain defects. When the drone lands on the platform, due to various factors (such as the operator's lack of technical skills), the drone lands far away from the center of the platform, and even cannot be driven to lower into the outer box, thus requiring manual adjustment. This once causes defects in the platform's storage of the drone. For this reason, a patrol drone vehicle-mounted platform is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a patrol drone vehicle-mounted platform to solve the technical problems raised in the above background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a vehicle-mounted inspection drone platform, comprising a storage box, the top of which is slidably provided with two sets of box covers, an electric push rod mounted in the center of the bottom of the storage box, and a drone parking platform assembly fixed to the top of the electric push rod;

Double-headed motors are installed in the center of the travel grooves of adjacent groups. Both ends of the two groups of double-headed motors are provided with screws rotatably connected to the inner walls of the travel grooves. The outer wall of each group of screws is threadedly sleeved with a driven sleeve, and the top of the driven sleeve is provided with a second U-bar sleeved on the top of the platform, and the tops of the two adjacent groups of driven sleeves are provided with a first U-bar sleeved on the top of the second U-bar.

[0008] As an optimal technical solution for a patrol drone vehicle-mounted platform of the utility model, two groups of hidden grooves are provided at the top of the drone parking platform assembly, and an L-plate is rotatably connected in each group of the hidden grooves. A gear fixed to the L-plate is provided at the end of the L-plate, and a rack engaged with the gear is provided below the gear, and a cable extending to the outside of the platform and fixed to the inner wall of the storage box is provided at the end of the rack. The outer wall of the platform is located above the cable and is rotatably connected to a reversing wheel. An operating cavity is provided in the platform at the contact position with the rack, and the operating cavity is in a connected state with the hidden groove.

[0009] As an optimal technical solution for a patrol drone vehicle-mounted platform of the utility model, a rubber pad is pasted on the top of the platform, and a gap begins to appear at the position where the rubber pad corresponds to the hidden groove.

[0010] As an optimal technical solution for the inspection drone vehicle-mounted platform of the utility model, the outer wall of the driven sleeve is provided with a constraint block extending into the travel groove, and a limiting groove is provided at the contact position between the inner wall of the travel groove and the constraint block.

[0025] 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. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0026] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0027] A patrol drone vehicle-mounted platform, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a storage box 100, the top of which is slidably provided with two sets of box covers 101, an electric push rod 140 is installed at the center of the bottom end of the storage box 100, and a drone parking platform assembly 120 is fixed to the top of the electric push rod 140;

[0028] The drone parking platform assembly 120 includes a platform 121 fixed to the output end of the electric push rod 140. The outer walls of the platform 121 are all provided with travel grooves 129 near the bottom end. The center position of the adjacent groups of travel grooves 129 is equipped with a double-headed motor 122. Both ends of the two groups of double-headed motors 122 are provided with a screw rod 123 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the travel groove 129. The outer wall of each group of screw rods 123 is threadedly sleeved with a driven sleeve 124. The top of the driven sleeve 124 is provided with a second U-bar 126 sleeved on the top of the platform 121, and the tops of the two adjacent groups of driven sleeves 124 are provided with a first U-bar 125 sleeved on the top of the second U-bar 126.

[0029] Two groups of hidden grooves 151 are provided at the top of the drone parking platform assembly 120, and an L-plate 150 is rotatably connected in each group of hidden grooves 151. A gear 152 fixed to the L-plate 150 is provided at the end of the L-plate 150, and a rack 153 engaged with the gear 152 is provided below the gear 152. A cable 155 extending to the outside of the platform 121 and fixed to the inner wall of the storage box 100 is provided at the end of the rack 153. The cable 155 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the platform 121 above the cable 155. An operating cavity 154 is provided in the platform 121 at the contact position with the rack 153. The operating cavity 154 is connected to the hidden groove 151, and a return spring is fixed to the end of the rack 153 away from the cable 155 and the inner wall of the operating cavity 154.

[0030] When the drone lands on the upper surface of the platform 121, the double-headed motor 122 is controlled to work, and its two ends drive the screw rod 123 to rotate, so that the two sets of first U-bars 125 approach each other. At this time, the two sets of second U-bars 126 also move closer to the center, so that the two sets of first U-bars 125 and the two sets of second U-bars 126 form a hole shape and gradually shrink, thereby pushing the drone to the top center position of the platform 121. At this time, the double-headed motor 122 stops working, and the output end of the electric push rod 140 decreases, so that the platform 121 is lowered and the drone is driven to gradually enter the storage box 100. Then the two sets of box covers 101 move closer to the center to complete the sealing effect of the storage box 100.

[0031] As the platform 121 is lowered, and because one end of the cable 155 is fixed to the inner wall of its storage box 100, the cable 155 will be L-shaped under the constraint of the reversing wheel and will slide out along the L-shaped trajectory, thereby driving the rack 153 to move, and entering the transmission of the gear 152 to make the L-plate rotate and be in an upright state. The two sets of L-plates position the drone on the platform 121, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the drone being bumped and damaged due to bumps.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 A rubber pad is attached to the top of the platform 121 , and a gap begins to appear at the position where the rubber pad corresponds to the hidden groove 151 .

[0033] The rubber pad provides elastic protection for the landing drone, and the rigid contact may cause the drone to be bumped and deformed.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 5 The outer wall of the driven sleeve 124 is provided with a restraining block 128 extending into the travel groove 129 , and a limiting groove is provided at the contact position between the inner wall of the travel groove 129 and the restraining block 128 .

[0035] By cooperating with the restraining block 128 and the limiting groove, the driven sleeve 124 moves along the straight line of the screw rod 123 when the screw rod 123 rotates.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Auxiliary rods 127 are fixed in the travel grooves 129 symmetrical to the two sets of double-headed motors 122. The outer wall of each set of auxiliary rods 127 is movably sleeved with a screw rod 123, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the second U-bar 126 and the first U-bar 125 respectively.

[0037] The auxiliary rod 127 can be used to move the second U-bar 126 and the first U-bar 125 closer together, thereby pushing the drone to move to the top center position of the platform 121.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 A bottom frame 110 is fixed to the bottom end of the storage box 100 , and ear plates are fixed to the front and rear outer walls of the bottom frame 110 .

[0039] The storage box 100 can be fixed in the cargo box of a vehicle by using the ear plates.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 The front and rear surfaces of the storage box 100 are closely positioned with electromagnetic slide rails, and the outer wall of the electromagnetic slide rail is sleeved with a slider fixed to the inner wall of the box cover 101.

[0041] The electromagnetic slide rail and the slider cooperate with each other to make the storage box 100 more convenient to open and close, while also protecting the stored drone.

[0042] Cooling fans 130 are installed on both sides of the electric push rod 140 in the storage box 100. The two fans and the double-headed motor 122 are connected to the external power supply through wires. The contour of the inner side of the L-plate 150 is consistent with the outer wall of the drone.

[0043] During use, when the drone lands on the upper surface of the platform 121, the double-headed motor 122 is controlled to work, and its two ends drive the screw rod 123 to rotate, so that the two sets of first U-bars 125 approach each other. At this time, the two sets of second U-bars 126 also move closer to the center, so that the two sets of first U-bars 125 and the two sets of second U-bars 126 form a hole shape and gradually shrink, thereby pushing the drone to the top center position of the platform 121. At this time, the double-headed motor 122 stops working, and the output end of the electric push rod 140 is lowered, so that the platform 121 is lowered and the drone is driven to gradually enter the storage box 100. Then the two sets of box covers 101 move closer to the center to complete the sealing effect of the storage box 100.

[0044] As the platform 121 is lowered, and because one end of the cable 155 is fixed to the inner wall of the storage box 100, the cable 155 will be L-shaped under the constraint of the reversing wheel, and will slide out along the L-shaped trajectory, thereby driving the rack 153 to move, and entering the transmission of the gear 152 to rotate the L-plate to an upright state. The two sets of L-plates position the drone on the platform 121, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of bumps causing damage to the drone. The parts not involved in the device are the same as the existing technology or can be implemented using existing technology.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations on the present invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
