[0032] Example

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a device for insulating drones on high-altitude and cold-altitude railways to extend their standby time. The device comprises an insulating outer cover 1 with an opening at the bottom and front. The cover 1 is provided with a rotatable front cover 2 that shields the front opening. The cover 1 also includes a support assembly for supporting the drone. The frame of the cover 1 is constructed of metal to provide structural strength, while the outer cover is constructed of materials such as engineering plastics to reduce weight and improve thermal insulation.

[0034] There are two supporting assemblies arranged opposite each other. The supporting assemblies include a rotating rod 3 that rotates through the rear side of the thermal insulation cover 1. One end of the rotating rod 3 is located outside the thermal insulation cover 1 and is provided with a handle 4, while the other end of the rotating rod 3 is located inside the thermal insulation cover 1. A gasket 5 is provided on the side wall of the rotating rod 3 and is located inside the thermal insulation cover 1. The rotating rod 3 slides horizontally within the thermal insulation cover 1 and is provided with a snap-on limit plate 6 located outside the thermal insulation cover 1. A limit slot 7 is provided on the outer wall of the thermal insulation cover 1 that cooperates with the snap-on limit plate 6. By providing the snap-on limit plate 6 and the limit slot 7, the utility model facilitates fixing the position of the rotating rod 3 via the snap-on limit plate 6, preventing the rotating rod 3 from rotating.

[0035] The inner wall of the front cover 2 is provided with a receiving slot 8 that cooperates with the rotating rod 3. The end of the rotating rod 3 away from the handle 4 is inserted into the receiving slot 8. By providing the receiving slot 8, the utility model can assist in fixing the end of the rotating rod 3 through the receiving slot 8, thereby improving the stability of the drone after being supported and lifted.

[0036] Before use, if Figure 2 As shown, by pulling the rotating rod 3 to the right with the handle 4, the end of the rotating rod 3 moves out of the accommodating slot 8, and the engaging limit plate 6 moves out of the limit slot 7. Two gaskets 5 are set on each rotating rod 3, and the gaskets 5 are set vertically at this time.

[0037] When the drone needs to be stored, it is placed on the ground, and the front cover 2 is rotated to open so that the front opening of the heat-insulating outer cover 1 is exposed. The heat-insulating outer cover 1 is aligned with the drone, and then the heat-insulating outer cover 1 is moved toward the drone so that the drone moves into the heat-insulating outer cover 1 from the front opening. After the drone enters the heat-insulating outer cover 1, the drone is located between the support components on both sides. The operator then manually turns the handle 4, which drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate a certain angle. At this time, the rotating rod 3 drives the gasket 5 to gradually rotate from a vertical state to a vertical state. Figure 3 As shown in the substantially horizontal position, during the rotation process, the gaskets 5 on both sides of the drone can rotate and abut against the drone. As the rotation continues, the gaskets 5 can gradually lift the drone upward until the landing gear of the drone leaves the ground.

[0038] During the rotation of the rotating rod 3, the rotating rod 3 drives the locking limit plate 6 to rotate until the locking limit plate 6 rotates and aligns with the limiting slot 7. At this time, the rotating rod 3 is stopped, and the handle 4 is pushed toward the side of the front cover 2. The handle 4 drives the rotating rod 3 to slide toward the side of the front cover 2. At this time, the locking limit plate 6 slides into the limiting slot 7 to achieve locking and limiting. When the handle 4 is released, the rotating rod 3 is fixed to the rear side of the thermal insulation cover 1 by the locking limit plate 6 and will not continue to rotate. In this way, the drone can be stably supported by the gasket 5 and will not fall. Then, the front cover 2 is rotated and closed. After the front cover 2 is closed, the end of the rotating rod 3 moves into the receiving slot 8. The receiving slot 8 can be used to auxiliary fix the end of the rotating rod 3, thereby improving the stability of the drone after it is supported and lifted. In this way, the present application can store the drone without disassembling the drone, has strong mobility, and is convenient for keeping the drone warm. It solves the problem of reduced standby time of drones due to low temperatures in high-altitude railway areas.

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall of the front cover 2 is provided with a support pad 9 and a buffer pad 10, and the buffer pad 10 can be a sponge pad, and the top of the support pad 9 is set at an angle. The inner wall of the thermal insulation cover 1 is provided with a buffer limiter 11, and the buffer limiter 11 can be a sponge pad. By providing the support pad 9, the utility model can abut against the bottom of the drone after the front cover 2 is rotated and closed, thereby providing auxiliary support for the drone. By providing the buffer pad 10 and the buffer limiter 11, after the drone enters the thermal insulation cover 1, the drone is located between the buffer pad 10 and the buffer limiter 11, which can limit the position of the drone and prevent the drone from colliding with the thermal insulation cover 1 and being damaged.

[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the heat-insulating outer cover 1 is provided with a plurality of moving wheels 12, and a tail handle 16 is provided on the rear side of the heat-insulating outer cover 1. The present invention facilitates the movement of the heat-insulating outer cover 1 by providing the moving wheels 12, and by providing the tail handle 16, the heat-insulating outer cover 1 can be pulled or towed by the tail handle 16.

[0041] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the top of the thermal insulation housing 1 is provided with an access opening. The thermal insulation housing 1 is provided with a rotatable access cover 13 that obscures the access opening. This access cover 13 allows the drone inside to be inspected and opened. The drone's propellers and batteries can also be replaced from the top through this access cover 13, and the drone can be directly removed from this location when needed.

[0042] like Figures 1-4As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall of the thermal insulation outer cover 1 is provided with a plurality of spring clips 14, and also includes a thermal insulation cloth 15, which is clamped and fixed by the spring clips 14, and the thermal insulation cloth 15 is located below the support assembly. In this embodiment, there are four spring clips 14, which are respectively located at the four corners of the inner wall of the thermal insulation outer cover 1. By providing the thermal insulation cloth 15, the present invention can move the thermal insulation cloth 15 to the bottom of the thermal insulation outer cover 1 and clamp it and fix it by the spring clips 14 after the drone is installed and lifted off the ground. In this way, the bottom opening of the thermal insulation outer cover 1 can be blocked by the thermal insulation cloth 15, thereby improving the thermal insulation effect.

[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall of the thermal insulation cover 1 is provided with an electric heating plate 17, a power supply 18, and a fan 19, and the fan 19 and the electric heating plate 17 are electrically connected to the power supply 18. When in use, a corresponding control switch can be set at the rear of the thermal insulation cover 1 for control. By setting the electric heating plate 17 and the fan 19, after the drone is placed, the electric heating plate 17 can be started for heating, and the fan 19 can be started for heat supply and moisture removal, thereby further improving the thermal insulation effect of the drone.

[0044] To facilitate drainage when de-icing and melting snow, Figure 2 As shown, the height of the two spring clips 14 on the left is lower than that of the two spring clips 14 on the right. In this way, the insulation cloth 15 is tilted to allow the heated water to flow out from the front.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present application.
