[0022] Reference Figure 1-4The utility model provides an embodiment of a drone landing device, including a body 1, with a machine arm 2 fixedly connected to the body 1 for fixing, a bidirectional motor 3 for driving is provided on the side of the machine arm 2 away from the body 1, and a propeller 4 is connected to the driving end of the bidirectional motor 3, and a pressure valve 5 for increasing air pressure is fixedly connected to the lower end of the machine arm 2. The other output end of the bidirectional motor 3 is connected to a reciprocating screw rod 6, a piston 7 is provided on the outer side of the reciprocating screw rod 6, and a connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the reciprocating screw rod 6 away from the bidirectional motor 3. A valve 9 for sealing is provided at the lower end of the pressure valve 5, and a hose 10 for transmission is fixedly connected to one side of the pressure valve 5. A movable frame 11 for shock absorption is provided at the lower end of the machine body 1, a slide groove 12 for guiding is provided at the connection of the movable frame 11, and a push plate 13 for pushing is provided on one side of the slide groove 12. A spring telescopic rod 14 for controlling telescopic movement is connected to the back of the push plate 13. A connecting buckle 15 is movably connected to the connection of the movable frame 11, and a roller 16 for lifting stability is movably connected to the lower end of the movable frame 11.

[0023] In an optional embodiment: four groups of arms 2 are fixedly connected around the body 1 to facilitate the installation of multiple groups of propellers 4, and bidirectional motors 3 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the arms 2, and are provided at the upper ends of each group of arms 2. The propellers 4 are driven by the bidirectional motors 3. The installation of multiple groups of bidirectional motors 3 and propellers 4 increases the stability and safety of the equipment during flight.

[0024] In an optional embodiment: the air pressure valve 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the arm 2, and its center is aligned with the center of the bidirectional motor 3, so that it continuously generates air pressure during flight; the reciprocating screw 6 is movably connected to the output end of the bidirectional motor 3, and passes through the arm 2 and is connected to the bottom of the upper bidirectional motor 3, and is driven to rotate by the rotation of the bidirectional motor 3, thereby driving the piston 7 to reciprocate.

[0025] In an optional embodiment: a bearing seat is sleeved inside the piston 7, and its reciprocating screw 6 is connected to the bearing seat by a ball nut pair, so that the up and down movement of the piston 7 is smoother when the reciprocating screw 6 rotates, reducing internal wear and extending the service life of the equipment. The connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the reciprocating screw 6, and the center is aligned with the center of the reciprocating screw 6, ensuring that the valve 9 can accurately block the empty hole at the lower end each time it rises. The valve 9 is movably connected to the outside of the connecting rod 8, which is convenient for blocking the lower end when descending, thereby changing the direction of the internal air pressure.

[0026] In an optional embodiment: the hose 10 passes through the interior of the air pressure valve 5 and is connected to the spring telescopic rod 14, and each group of air pressure valves 5 is connected to the spring telescopic rod 14 through the hose 10, and the movable frame 11 is movably connected to the lower end of the body 1, and there are two groups of them. The connection of the movable frame 11 matches the internal size of the slide slot 12. When the drone is flying, the bidirectional motor 3 will drive the piston 7 to continuously generate air pressure through the empty slot at the upper end of the air pressure valve 5 by rotating the reciprocating screw 6, but the empty hole at the lower end of the air pressure valve 5 will discharge the generated air pressure, so that it will not enter the hose 10. When the drone descends, because there are more parts in contact with the air, the valve 9 rises along the connecting rod 8, thereby blocking the empty hole at the lower end of the air pressure valve 5. After the bottom of the air pressure valve 5 is blocked, the air pressure continuously generated by the piston 7 cannot be discharged and will enter the hose 10. At the same time, the hose 10 is connected to the spring telescopic rod 14, and the inside of the spring telescopic rod 14 is Hollowed out, after the air pressure enters the hose 10, the hose 10 will continuously input the air pressure into the spring telescopic rod 14. After the air pressure inside the spring telescopic rod 14 increases, it will gradually withdraw outward. Because the push plate 13 is fixedly connected to the spring telescopic rod 14, when the spring telescopic rod 14 is pushed out, the push plate 13 will also be pushed out, thereby pushing out the connection of the movable frame 11. As the connection is pushed out, the movable frame 11 will gradually open. When the drone lands, the movable frame 11 has been opened to provide a buffer for it, protecting the internal components from damage caused by strong vibration. After the drone lands, the piston 7 stops inflating, and the valve 9 will gradually drop under the influence of gravity. After the drop, the internal air pressure will be discharged along the empty hole at the bottom of the air pressure valve 5. As the pressure continues to be discharged, the spring telescopic rod 14 will gradually retract. When retracting, the connection of the movable frame 11 will also gradually retract, thereby storing the movable frame 11.

[0027] In an optional embodiment: the inner diameter of the push plate 13 matches the outer diameter of the connection of the movable frame 11, so that it can accurately push the connection of the movable frame 11 out when pushing it out, avoiding jamming that makes the movable frame 11 unable to open, and the spring telescopic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the push plate 13, and the push plate 13 pushes the movable frame 11 through the spring telescopic rod 14.

[0028] In an optional embodiment: the connecting buckle 15 is movably connected to the intersection of the two groups of movable frames 11 and passes through the two groups of movable frames 11, so that the two groups of movable frames 11 are fixed, and the smoothness of the movable frames 11 is also increased. The roller 16 is movably connected to the lower end of each group of movable frames 11. When the movable frames 11 are stored, the roller 16 contacts the ground when the movable frames 11 touch the ground, which reduces the wear between the movable frames 11 and the ground and extends the service life of the movable frames 11.

[0029] Working principle and process: When the drone is ascending, the bidirectional motor 3 will drive the reciprocating screw 6 to rotate. When the reciprocating screw 6 rotates, it will drive the piston 7 to continuously increase the air pressure. When ascending, the air pressure will be continuously discharged through the empty hole at the bottom of the air pressure valve 5. When descending, the bottom valve 9 will close the air pressure valve 5, so that the air pressure enters the spring telescopic rod 14 through the hose 10. The spring telescopic rod 14 pushes the connection of the movable frame 11, so that the movable frame 11 opens in advance when descending. After landing, the valve 9 drops with gravity, thereby opening the air pressure valve 5 and gradually discharging the air pressure. As the air pressure is discharged, the spring telescopic rod 14 is gradually retracted, and the movable frame 11 is also retracted for storage.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
