[0056] The following combination Figures 1-11 The invention describes the drone transfer equipment according to an embodiment of the invention.

[0057] The embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model provides a drone transport device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drone transporting equipment includes a transporting body 100 and a first fixing component 200 and a second fixing component 300 arranged on the transporting body 100.

[0058] The first fixing assembly 200 and the second fixing assembly 300 are spaced apart along the first direction. The first fixing assembly 200 is used to fix the first side of the landing gear 500 of the UAV. The second fixing assembly 300 has a positioning portion 311, and the positioning portion 311 is used to position the second side of the landing gear 500. In this way, the UAV landing gear 500 can be fixed by the first fixing assembly 200 and the second fixing assembly 300, thereby ensuring the stability of the UAV transportation process and preventing damage to the UAV.

[0059] Specifically, the first fixing component 200 is fixed to the transport body 100, and the second fixing component 300 is slidably arranged on the transport body 100 along the first direction, so that the second fixing component 300 can move closer to or away from the first fixing component 200 to adjust the distance between the first fixing component 200 and the second fixing component 300 along the first direction, thereby being suitable for fixing the landing gear 500 of drones of different sizes.

[0060] The drone transfer equipment provided by the embodiment of the present invention can fix the drone landing gear 500 through the first fixing component 200 and the second fixing component 300 on the transfer body 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the drone transfer process and avoiding damage to the drone; and the second fixing component 300 is slidably arranged on the transfer body 100 to adjust the distance between the first fixing component 200 and the second fixing component 300, so that it can be compatible with the fixation of various types of drones.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first fixing assembly 200 includes a fixing seat 210, a fixing cover 220 and a first locking component 230. The fixing seat 210 is arranged on the transport body 100, and the fixing cover 220 is movably connected to the fixing seat 210. The first locking component 230 is arranged between the fixing seat 210 and the fixing cover 220. The first locking component 230 is used to lock the fixing seat 210 and the fixing cover 220 to fix the landing gear 500 of the UAV between the fixing seat 210 and the fixing cover 220.

[0062] Optionally, the first end of the fixed cover 220 is movably connected to the first end of the fixed base 210, and the movable connection may include but is not limited to other connection methods such as hinges 240 and rotating shafts; the first locking component 230 is connected to the second end of the fixed cover 220 and the second end of the fixed base 210.

[0063] It can be understood that the first locking component 230 is suitable for switching between a first locked state and a first unlocked state; in the first locked state, the second end of the fixed cover 220 is locked to the second end of the fixing seat 210 through the first locking component 230, so that the first side of the landing gear 500 is locked to the installation space enclosed between the fixing seat 210 and the fixing cover 220; in the first unlocked state, the second end of the fixing seat 210 releases the lock on the second end of the fixing cover 220.

[0064] For example, a first accommodating groove is formed on the upper surface of the fixing seat 210, and a second accommodating groove is formed on the lower surface of the fixing cover 220. When the fixing cover 220 is covered on the fixing seat 210, the first accommodating groove of the fixing seat 210 and the second accommodating groove of the fixing cover 220 form an installation space adapted to the UAV landing gear 500.

[0065] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first locking component 230 includes a matching lock tongue 231 and a lock seat, the lock tongue 231 is connected to the second end of the fixed cover 220; the lock seat is connected to the second end of the fixed seat 210; in the first locked state, the lock tongue 231 on the fixed cover 220 is locked to the lock seat on the fixed seat 210, and a locking cavity for locking the lock tongue 231 is formed on the lock seat, so that the fixed cover 220 is closed and locked to the fixed seat 210, completing the fixation of the first side of the landing gear 500; in the first unlocked state, the locking cavity of the lock seat on the fixed seat 210 releases the lock of the lock tongue 231 to release the lock tongue 231 connected to the fixed cover 220, and rotates the fixed cover 220 connected to the hinge 240 to complete the unlocking of the first side of the UAV landing gear 500.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the lock seat includes two locking plates 2321 arranged opposite to each other, and the locking plate 2321 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 210 at one end away from the lock tongue 231. The locking plate 2321 is suitable for switching between a first position and a second position to enable the first locking component 230 to switch between a first locked state and a first unlocked state.

[0067] Specifically, in the first locking state, the two locking plates 2321 are close to each other, the locking plates 2321 are in the first position, and the lock tongue 231 is locked in the locking cavity formed between the two locking plates 2321; in the first unlocking state, the two locking plates 2321 are far away from each other, the locking plates 2321 are in the second position, and the two locking plates 2321 release the lock on the lock tongue 231.

[0068] In this embodiment, the lower end of the locking plate 2321 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 210 via the rotating shaft 2322, and the lower ends of the two locking plates 2321 can be connected by means of transmission gears, and one of the locking plates 2321 is rotated to drive the other locking plate 2321 to rotate synchronously; of course, in other embodiments, the locking plates 2321 can also be fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2322, and the rotating shafts 2322 on the two locking plates 2321 have matching transmission gears, which can drive one locking plate 2321 to rotate to achieve the synchronous rotation of the two locking plates 2321 towards or away from each other.

[0069] Optionally, the fixing base 210 has a bearing space, the locking plate 2321 is located in the bearing space, and the fixing base 210 has a through hole for the lock tongue 231 to pass through. Furthermore, one of the locking plates 2321 has a rotating portion 2323, which drives the locking plate 2321 to rotate. In this embodiment, the rotating portion 2323 is a rotating rod connected to the outer wall of the locking plate 2321. Preferably, the rotating portion 2323 at least partially extends out of the fixing base 210 to facilitate operation of the rotating portion 2323.

[0070] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first locking component 230 also includes an elastic member 233 arranged between the fixing seat 210 and the locking plate 2321, and the elastic member 233 is located at the lower part of the fixing seat 210; in the first unlocking state, the elastic member 233 is in a compressed state, and in the first locking state, the elastic member 233 is in a normal state.

[0071] It can be understood that there is an extension plate in the middle of the locking plate 2321, and the elastic member 233 is a spring, the upper end of the spring is connected to the lower wall of the extension plate, and the lower end of the spring is connected to the bottom of the fixing seat 210.

[0072] In the first locked state, the elastic member 233 is in a normal state, the locking plates 2321 are in the first position, and the lock tongue 231 can be locked in the locking cavity formed between the two locking plates 2321. When it is necessary to release the lock of the lock tongue 231, the two locking plates 2321 are driven away from each other, so that the locking plates 2321 are in the second position. The two locking plates 2321 release the lock of the lock tongue 231, and the elastic member 233 is in a compressed state. It should be noted that under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 233, the locking plates 2321 automatically return to the first position from the second position.

[0073] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the elastic member 233 can also be arranged on the upper part of the fixing seat 210, then the upper end of the spring is connected to the top of the fixing seat 210, and the lower end of the spring is connected to the upper wall surface of the extension plate; in the first unlocked state, the elastic member 233 is in a stretched state, and in the first locked state, the elastic member 233 is in a normal state.

[0074] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transport body 100 has a track arranged along the first direction, and the second fixing component 300 is slidably set on the track of the transport body 100. The second fixing component 300 can adopt the same structure as the first fixing component 200 to achieve the fixation of the second side of the UAV landing gear 500 through the second fixing component 300.

[0075] Preferably, due to the heavy weight of the drone, one side can be fixed and locked, while the other side only needs to be positioned. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first fixing assembly 200 fixes the first side of the drone. Under the premise that the first fixing assembly 200 fixes the drone landing gear 500, the second fixing assembly 300 can simply position the second side of the drone landing gear 500 due to the effect of the drone's own weight.

[0076] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second fixing component 300 includes a moving seat 310, which is slidably arranged on the track of the transport body 100 so that the moving seat 310 can move on the transport body 100 along the first direction. The upper part of the moving seat 310 has a positioning portion 311 to realize the positioning of the second side of the UAV landing gear 500; in this embodiment, the moving seat 310 has a fixed pulley 330, and the fixed pulley 330 slides relative to the upper surface of the transport body 100.

[0077] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, the track adopts a limiting track 110 , and the moving seat 310 has a sliding portion 312 that cooperates with the limiting track 110 to ensure the stability of the movement of the moving seat 310 .

[0078] Optionally, the limiting rails 110 are provided on the side walls of the transport body 100. In this embodiment, the transport body 100 has a support plate arranged along a first direction, and two side walls of the support plate opposite to each other along a second direction have limiting rails 110. The movable base 310 is clamped on the support plate, and the side walls of the movable base 310 have sliding portions 312 that cooperate with the limiting rails 110. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, the first direction is denoted as the X direction, and the second direction is denoted as the Y direction.

[0079] Preferably, the limiting rail 110 adopts a wedge-shaped protrusion structure, and the sliding portion 312 is a wedge-shaped slide groove that cooperates with the wedge-shaped protrusion structure. The lower edge of the movable seat 310 cooperates with the transfer body 100, and the wedge-shaped structure limits the movement and rotation of the movable seat 310 in the Y direction, Z direction, and X direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the movable seat 310 along the X direction.

[0080] Further, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to limit the position of the movable seat 310, the second fixing assembly 300 also includes a second locking component 320, which is connected to the movable seat 310, and the second locking component 320 is suitable for switching between a second locked state and a second unlocked state; in the second locked state, the second locking component 320 is locked to the transport body 100, and in the second unlocked state, the second locking component 320 releases the lock on the transport body 100.

[0081] It can be understood that after the movable seat 310 is moved into position on the transport body 100, the position of the movable seat 310 is locked by the second locking component 320 to prevent the movable seat 310 from moving, so as to further ensure the stability of the drone transport process.

[0082] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second locking component 320 includes a locking frame 321, a locking block 322 and a stop pin 323. The locking frame 321 is arranged on the inner wall of the movable seat 310. The locking frame 321 has a locking cavity 3211, and the locking cavity 3211 opens at one end close to the transfer body 100; the locking block 322 is slidably arranged in the locking cavity 3211, and the locking block 322 is provided with a guide hole 3221. The first end of the guide hole 3221 is away from the transfer body 100, and the second end of the guide hole 3221 is close to the transfer body 100; the stop pin 323 passes through the movable seat 310 and the locking frame 321 and is inserted into the guide hole 3221. The stop pin 323 is suitable for sliding between the first end of the guide hole 3221 and the second end of the guide hole 3221 to drive the locking block 322 to extend out of the locking cavity 3211 or extend back into the locking cavity 3211 relative to the locking frame 321.

[0083] Specifically, the movable seat 310 has side panels arranged relatively along the second direction and a top panel connected to the two side panels. The inner side walls of the side panels are connected to a locking frame 321. The locking frame 321 forms a locking cavity 3211 with an opening at the lower end. The locking block 322 is arranged in the locking cavity 3211 and can slide up and down. The locking block 322 is provided with a guide hole 3221. After the stop pin 323 passes through the side panels and the locking frame 321 of the movable seat 310, it is inserted into the guide hole 3221 of the locking block 322; the stop pin 323 extends out of the movable seat 310 and has a rotating part 324 at one end to facilitate the rotation of the stop pin 323.

[0084] It is understandable that in the second unlocked state, the stop pin 323 is located at the first end of the guide hole 3221 so that the locking block 322 extends back into the locking cavity 3211; when it is necessary to lock the movable seat 310, the stop pin 323 is rotated so that the stop pin 323 moves from the first end of the guide hole 3221 to the second end of the guide hole 3221, and the locking block 322 extends out of the locking cavity 3211 and abuts against the transport body 100, and the locking block 322 contacts the upper surface of the transport body 100, thereby achieving the locking of the movable seat 310. It should be noted here that after the locking block 322 contacts the upper surface of the transport body 100, the movable seat 310 is lifted up, and the limiting rail 110 and the sliding portion 312 of the side plate of the movable seat 310 generate a clamping force, and the position of the movable seat 310 is further fixed.

[0085] In this embodiment, Figure 9 As shown, the stop pin 323 includes a first rotating shaft 3231 and a second rotating shaft 3232. The first rotating shaft 3231 and the second rotating shaft 3232 are eccentrically arranged. The middle part of the first rotating shaft 3231 is rotatably arranged on the side plate and the locking frame 321 of the movable seat 310. The rotating member 324 is arranged at the first end of the first rotating shaft 3231. The second end of the first rotating shaft 3231 and the second rotating shaft 3232 are connected by a connecting plate. The second rotating shaft 3232 is inserted into the guide hole 3221 of the locking block 322. In the second unlocked state, the second rotating shaft 3231 is in the second unlocked state. The rotating shaft 3232 is located at the first end of the guide hole 3221, so that the locking block 322 extends back into the locking cavity 3211; when switching from the second unlocking state to the second locking state, by driving the first rotating shaft 3231 to rotate, the first rotating shaft 3231 drives the second rotating shaft 3232 to rotate around the center of the first rotating shaft 3231, so that the second rotating shaft 3232 moves from the first end of the guide hole 3221 to the second end of the guide hole 3221, and at the same time, the locking block 322 extends out of the locking cavity 3211 and abuts against the transport body 100.

[0086] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, a stopper 120 is provided at the end of the limiting track 110 , and the stopper 120 is used to prevent the moving seat 310 from escaping from the limiting track 110 .

[0087] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first fixing assembly 200 forms an installation space adapted to the drone landing gear 500 , and the inner wall of the installation space has a flexible pad 400 to fix and protect the drone; the positioning portion 311 of the second fixing assembly 300 also has a flexible pad 400 .

[0088] Optionally, the first fixing assembly 200 includes a fixing base 210 and a fixing cover 220, with flexible pads 400 provided on the upper surface of the fixing base 210 and the lower surface of the fixing cover 220. The second fixing assembly 300 includes a movable base 310, with flexible pads 400 provided on the upper surface of the movable base 310. Specifically, the flexible pads 400 can be curved rubber pads to reduce vibration and impact during movement, thereby securing and protecting the landing gear 500.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transport body 100 includes a frame and running wheels mounted on the frame.
