DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0028] The utility model is suitable for the storage and transportation of large-sized fixed-wing UAVs. During the storage and transportation process, the operators disassemble the fuselage, wings and tail, and finally place the fuselage, wings, tail and other parts together in the packaging box to facilitate the storage and transportation of the large-sized fixed-wing UAV.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A packaging box for a fixed-wing drone comprises a box body 1, a box cover 2, and a retaining assembly 3. A cavity for placing drone components is formed between the box cover 2 and the box body 1. The retaining assembly 3 is positioned within the box body and has a fuselage retaining slot, a wing retaining slot, and a tail retaining slot, respectively used to secure the drone's fuselage, wings, and tail.

[0030] Specifically, a plurality of pads are evenly distributed in parallel along the length direction of the box body 1; and a pad is provided at the bottom of the box body 1 to facilitate the transport of the packaging box by a forklift.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limit assembly 3 includes a lower clamping plate 32. The limit assembly 3 includes a lower clamping plate 32; the lower clamping plate 32 is clamped into the box body 1, and the plane of the lower clamping plate 32 is arranged parallel to the width direction of the box body 1; the lower clamping plate 32 is provided with a lower limit notch on one side near the top of the box body 1. The lower limit notch includes a lower fuselage clamping slot, a lower wing clamping slot, and a lower tail clamping slot, which respectively match the corresponding outer contours of the drone's fuselage, wings, and tail.

[0032] Specifically, to ensure smooth insertion of drone components and avoid excessive squeezing, the lower fuselage, lower wing, and lower tail wing slots are each designed as a contoured notch 3mm-5mm larger than the outer contour of the corresponding drone component. A felt pad is glued and nailed into each notch. The lower fuselage slot is semicircular, while the lower wing and lower tail slots are dovetail-shaped. Furthermore, the joints between the lower fuselage, lower wing, and lower tail slots are straight-through to prevent interference between the fuselage, wings, and tail during installation, preventing smooth insertion.

[0033] More specifically, for drone parts of the same series and similar sizes, the same specifications of packaging boxes can be used. Simply by replacing the lower pallet 32 ​​and selecting the lower pallet 32 ​​that matches the outer contours of the fuselage, wings, and tail of the corresponding drone, the packaging boxes of drone parts of the same series and similar sizes can be shared, thereby improving the applicability of the packaging boxes and reducing the processing cost and use cost of the packaging boxes.

[0034] In the present invention, a lower clamping plate 32 with a lower limit notch is provided. When the drone parts are placed in the installation cavity, the lower limit notch engages with the outer contours of the drone's fuselage, wings and tail, preventing the drone parts from shaking or shifting during transportation, thereby ensuring the safety and integrity of the drone parts.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , multiple groups of limiting components 3 are distributed in parallel along the length direction of the box body 1.

[0036] Specifically, the most critical parts of the drone structure that are subject to the greatest stress are typically equipped with load-bearing frames. These frames bear and distribute the various loads generated by the drone during flight, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the entire drone structure. The position of each set of limit assemblies 3 corresponds to the position of a load-bearing frame.

[0037] Specifically, the limiting components 3 can be arranged in two groups, three groups, or four groups. Any suitable number of limiting components 3 can be provided so that the positions of the drone components in the box 1 are fixed by the limiting components 3. Preferably, the limiting components 3 are arranged in three groups, and the three groups of limiting components 3 correspond to the positions of the three bearing frames respectively.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In the fixed-wing drone packaging box of this embodiment, the limiting assembly 3 further includes an upper clamping plate 31. The upper clamping plate 31 is clamped into the box body 1 and is located above the lower clamping plate 32. The upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 are arranged opposite each other. An upper limit notch 33 is formed on the side of the upper clamping plate 31 away from the top of the box body 1. The upper limit notch 33 includes an upper fuselage clamping slot, an upper wing clamping slot, and an upper tail clamping slot. The upper fuselage clamping slot and the lower fuselage clamping slot are arranged opposite each other and together form the fuselage clamping slot. The upper wing clamping slot and the lower wing clamping slot are arranged opposite each other and together form the wing clamping slot. The upper tail clamping slot and the lower tail clamping slot are arranged opposite each other and together form the tail clamping slot.

[0040] Specifically, the wing snap-fitting slots are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fuselage snap-fitting slot, the tail snap-fitting slots are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fuselage snap-fitting slot, and the wing snap-fitting slots are located between the fuselage snap-fitting slot and the tail snap-fitting slot.

[0041] Specifically, the upper fuselage, upper wing, and upper tail slots are each designed as a contoured notch 3mm-5mm larger than the outer contour of the corresponding drone component. A felt pad is glued and nailed into each notch. The upper fuselage slot is semicircular, while the upper wing and upper tail slots are dovetail-shaped. Furthermore, the joints between the upper fuselage slot, upper and lower wing slots, and upper tail slot are straight-through to prevent interference between the fuselage, wings, and tail during installation.

[0042] More specifically, for drone parts of the same series and similar sizes, the same specifications of packaging boxes can be used. Simply by replacing the upper pallet 31 and the lower pallet 32 ​​and selecting the upper pallet 31 and the lower pallet 32 ​​that match the outer contours of the drone's fuselage, wings, and tail, the packaging boxes of drone parts of the same series and similar sizes can be shared, thereby improving the applicability of the packaging boxes and reducing the processing cost and use cost of the packaging boxes.

[0043] In this embodiment, an upper clamping plate 31 with an upper limit notch 33 is provided. The upper clamping plate 31 cooperates with the lower clamping plate 32 to form an upper and lower double limit structure for the overall outer contour of the drone components, which is convenient for further fixing the position of the drone components in the box body 1, preventing the drone components from shaking or shifting during transportation, and improving the protection effect of the drone components during storage and transportation.

[0044] Example 2:

[0046] In this embodiment, by setting chamfers at the corners of the lower card plate 32 and the upper card plate 31, the installation of the lower card plate 32 and the upper card plate 31 is facilitated, and the installation efficiency is improved. At the same time, during the transportation, storage and use of the packaging box, the chamfer structure reduces the possibility of scratches inside the packaging box due to sharp corners.

[0047] Example 3:

[0048] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 In this embodiment, the fixed-wing drone packaging box, based on the second embodiment, further includes support assemblies 4. Multiple groups of support assemblies 4 are distributed along the length of the box body 1. The number of support assemblies 4 matches the number of limit assemblies 3, and the positions of the multiple groups of support assemblies 4 and the multiple groups of limit assemblies 3 correspond one-to-one. Each group of support assemblies 4 includes two mounting rods 41 vertically connected to the two opposite side walls of the box body 1. Each mounting rod 41 defines a limit slot 42, which is arranged along the length of the mounting rod 41. The two ends of the lower clamping plate 32 are respectively engaged in the corresponding limit slot 42.

[0049] In this embodiment, the installation rod 41 is provided to facilitate the support of the box body 1 and enhance the overall structural strength of the box body 1. At the same time, by providing a limiting groove 42 on the installation rod 41, the installation of the lower card plate 32 and the upper card plate 31 is facilitated, thereby improving the packaging efficiency of the drone parts.

[0050] Example 4:

[0052] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 5 is provided to prevent the box cover 2 from falling off during storage and transportation. At the same time, the locking assembly 5 enables the packaging box to form a tightly enclosed space when closed, effectively preventing the intrusion of external factors such as dust and moisture, thereby protecting the drone components from damage.

[0053] Example 5:

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the fixed-wing UAV packaging box of this embodiment, a first limiting step 11 is provided on the edge of the box body 1 , and a second limiting step 21 cooperating with the first limiting step 11 is provided on the edge of the box cover 2 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the first limiting step 11 and the second limiting step 21 are set so that when the box cover 2 is closed, the second limiting step 21 fits tightly against the first limiting step 11, forming an additional sealing barrier to enhance the sealing performance of the packaging box. At the same time, the first limiting step 11 and the second limiting step 21 cooperate to make the box cover 2 more stable when closed and not easy to be opened accidentally.

[0056] Example 6:

[0057] Reference Figure 2 In the packaging box for fixed-wing UAV in this embodiment, a reinforcing keel 6 is provided at the intersection of the edges of the box body 1 and the box cover 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, the overall structural strength of the packaging box is improved by providing a reinforcing keel 6 in the area of ​​the packaging box that is most prone to deformation or damage. In addition, when facing harsh conditions such as bumps, vibrations or impacts, the reinforcing keel 6 can absorb and disperse external forces to protect the drone components inside the packaging box from damage.

[0059] Example 7:

[0060] Reference Figure 2 In the packaging box for the fixed-wing UAV of this embodiment, a handle 7 is provided on the side of the box cover 2.
