Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular relates to a portable tethered UAV system. Background Art
[0002] Tethered drones use a lightweight composite cable consisting of a power cord and optical fiber to convert high-voltage AC power from the ground into low-voltage DC power sufficient for extended flight. This enables transmission of power, video, and control signals, significantly increasing the aircraft's operating time and transmission bandwidth. Both wired and wireless control methods enhance control reliability. Compared to traditional multi-rotor drones, tethered drones offer significantly longer flight times, superior anti-interference capabilities, more stable data transmission, and reduced maintenance costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0049] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the technical solutions and effects of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific implementation methods.
[0050] A portable tethered drone system, combined with Figures 1-17 As shown, it includes a foldable drone 2 and a storage device 1 for storing the drone.
[0051] The storage device 1 significantly reduces space requirements and comprises an external housing 10. The interior of the housing 10 is arranged into three layers: the upper layer is used to house the foldable drone 2, the middle layer is equipped with a lifting device, and the lower layer is used to install the tethered power supply 4. A top cover 12 is provided on the top of the housing 10 to seal the entire housing 10. Four wheels 13 are installed on the bottom of the housing 10 to facilitate the dragging and carrying of the storage device 1. A telescopic rod 11 is installed on the back of the housing 10 for handholding and assisting in the movement of the entire drone system.
[0052] The lifting device includes a scissor arm 17, on which a hydraulic rod 18 is provided. The hydraulic rod 18 is connected to a hydraulic cylinder (not shown in the figure), and the extension and retraction of the scissor arm 17 is achieved through the hydraulic rod 18. The top of the scissor arm 17 is connected to a foldable lifting platform 19, and the foldable lifting platform 19 is used to place the foldable drone 2. The bottom of the scissor arm 17 is connected to a fixed base plate 110, and the fixed base plate 110 is fixed to the shell 10. One end of the top of the scissor arm 17 is hinged to one end of the lifting platform 19, and the other end of the top of the scissor arm 17 is in contact with the other side of the lifting platform 19 through a roller. The roller contacts and rolls with the bottom surface of the lifting platform 19 to move closer to or farther away from the hinged end, thereby achieving the lifting and lowering of the lifting device. One end of the bottom of the scissor arm 17 is hinged to one end of the fixed base 110. The other end of the bottom of the scissor arm 17 contacts the other end of the fixed base 110 via rollers. The rollers contact and roll against the upper surface of the fixed base 110, moving closer to or farther from the hinged end and raising and lowering the scissor arm 17 synchronously with the rollers at the top of the scissor arm 17. When the hydraulic rod 18 extends, the rollers move closer to the hinged end, extending the entire scissor arm 17 and raising its height. This raises the lifting platform 19 to the top of the storage device 1, thereby ejecting the drone. Simultaneously with the drone's ejection, the lifting platform 19 deploys.
[0053] The lifting platform 19 includes a fixed table and a triangular platform 16. The fixed table is rectangular. Four triangular platforms 16 are rotatably connected to the fixed table around the fixed table via connecting shafts 15. When the foldable drone 2 is in a state of being stored inside the shell 10, the triangular platform 16 has an angle with the fixed table due to the existence of the side wall of the shell 10. The multiple triangular platforms 16 and the fixed table wrap the foldable drone 2 in the middle; when the foldable drone 2 is in a state of being pushed upward by the lifting device, the triangular platform 16 breaks away from the obstruction inside the shell 10, rotates 90° and is on the same horizontal plane with the fixed table, thereby increasing the parking area of the drone and forming a small apron for facilitating the take-off and landing of the drone.
[0054] The lifting platform 19 and the fixed base plate 110 are provided with through holes for the cables 421 to pass through, so as to charge the foldable drone 2 .
[0055] The foldable drone 2 includes a fuselage 210, on which four carbon fiber plates are provided for space separation; a flight control 26 and a four-in-one electronic speed controller 28, an onboard computer, and a power supply module 29 are provided inside the fuselage 210, and the flight control 26 is electrically connected to the control development board 43 inside the shell 10, thereby completing actions such as takeoff, landing, hovering, pitching, and offsetting. The above actions are all conventional actions of the drone and will not be repeated here. Four folding wings 22 are evenly distributed around the fuselage 210, and propellers are provided at the ends of the folding wings 22; the folding wings 22 are connected to the fuselage 210 through a folding mechanism. When the foldable drone 2 is in the stowed state, the folding wings 22 are in a folded state, and the folding wings 22 are attached to the fuselage 210; when the foldable drone 2 is in the non-stowed state, the folding wings 22 are in an unfolded state, and the ends of the folding wings 22 are away from the fuselage 210. The folding mechanism includes a fixed shaft 24 fixed to the fuselage 210, with the folding wing 22 rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 24; a movable lever 25 slidably connected to the fuselage 210 and arranged parallel to the fixed shaft 24; a spring 23 is connected between the fixed shaft 24 and the movable lever 25. The ends of the movable lever 25 protrude from the sidewalls of the fuselage 210 for limiting position; the folding wing 22 is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the movable lever 25. When the folding wing 22 is in the unfolded state and the folded state, the movable lever 25 cooperates with different limiting grooves to limit the state of the folding wing 22 and prevent displacement. Moving the movable lever 25 along the strip groove provided in the fuselage 210 can disengage the limiting groove of the folding wing 22, thereby achieving the state transition of the folding wing 22.
[0056] A GPS 21 is mounted on the top of the fuselage 210. The GPS 21 is rotated on a base 212 via a support rod 211. The base 212 is fixed to the fuselage 210. The bottom of the support rod 211 is rotatably connected to the base 212 via a connecting shaft.
[0057] The propeller comprises two oppositely arranged blades, and the two blades are respectively rotationally connected to the ends of the folding wing 22. When the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2 is in the storage state, the two blades are rotated to be parallel to the folding wing 22 to save space and facilitate storage.
[0058] The control panel 3 is arranged on the shell 10 of the storage device 1, and a plurality of operation buttons and an information display screen 31 are arranged on the control panel 3 and electrically connected to the control development board 43 in the shell 10. The operation buttons are used to adjust the attitude of the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2 and display the related parameters of the tethered power supply 4. The operation buttons include an emergency stop button 32, a disengagement button 33, a power button 34, a landing button 35, a take-off button 36, a pitch button 37, a yaw button 38, and a hovering button 39. The emergency stop button 32 is used to stop the flight of the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2, the disengagement button 33 is used to separate the cable 421 from the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2, the power button 34 is used to start the power supply of the tethered unmanned aerial vehicle system, the landing button 35 is used for one-key landing of the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2, the take-off button 36 is used for one-key take-off of the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2, the pitch button 37 is used for adjusting the pitch or the yaw of the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2, and the pitch button 37 includes two buttons for adjusting the pitch and the yaw, respectively, the yaw button 38 is used for adjusting the left and right positions of the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2, and the yaw button 38 includes two buttons for adjusting the left and the right, respectively, and the hovering button 39 is used for adjusting the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2 to the hovering state. The remote controller of the ground station is connected to the control development board 43 through wireless communication, and the ground station is connected to the flight control 26 for calibration and channel mapping, so as to adjust the attitude of the foldable unmanned aerial vehicle 2. The information display screen 31 is used to display the voltage, the current, the power, the tension, the temperature, the remaining length of the cable 421, and the remaining power of the tethered power supply 4, and to monitor the information of the tethered power supply 4 in real time.
[0059] The tethered power supply 4 includes a lithium battery, an AC / DC conversion module 45, and a cable retraction device 41. The lithium battery directly powers the foldable drone 2. If the power supply time is long, the ground power supply can be switched. The 220V AC power on the ground is converted into 400V DC power by the AC / DC conversion module 45, and then powers the drone and charges the lithium battery through the step-down module 44. The cable retraction device 41 includes two oppositely arranged retraction brackets 410. The two retraction brackets 410 are connected by a reel-up roller 412. The rotating wheels 411 fixed at both ends of the retraction roller 412 are embedded in the retraction brackets 410 and are rotatably connected to the two retraction brackets 410. A gear I is coaxially arranged on the rotating wheel 411 at one end of the retraction roller 412. Gear I 416 is connected to gear II 414 through a meshing transmission belt. The bidirectional threaded rotating rod 413 is coaxially fixed to gear II 414. The two ends of the bidirectional threaded rotating rod 413 are rotatably connected to the screw bracket 420 via bearings. A guide rod is arranged on the screw bracket 420 parallel to the bidirectional threaded rotating rod 413. The movable slider 417 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rotating rod 413 and slidably connected to the guide rod. The screw bracket 420 is detachably fixed to the retractable bracket 410. Gear I 416 is coaxially connected to gear IV 423. Gear IV 423 is connected to gear III 419 connected to the output end of motor I 42 via a transmission belt. Motor I 42 drives gear III 419 to rotate, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of gear IV 423 and gear I 416, which in turn drives gear II 414 and the bidirectional threaded rotating rod 413 to rotate. The movable slider 417, through its threaded connection to the bidirectional threaded rotating rod 413, reciprocates horizontally on the guide rod. The cable 421 passes through a guide hole 418 at the lower end of the movable slider 417 and is wound around the winding roller 412. The reciprocating motion of the movable slider 417 on the guide rod ensures that the cable 421 is evenly wound around the winding roller 412. The power module 29 of the foldable drone 2 is provided with an automatic disconnect device 27. The plug end 422 of the cable is connected to the foldable drone 2 through the automatic disconnect device 27 to charge the foldable drone 2. The automatic disconnect device 27 includes a fixed housing 275, which is fixed to the housing of the power module 29. The charging port 278 of the power module is located on the baffle 276 of the fixed housing 275. The plug end 422 of the cable is inserted into the charging port 278 of the power module to charge the drone. A gear set is housed within the fixed housing 275, comprising three meshing circular gears 272. The central circular gear 272 is the driving gear, driven by a small motor 273, which is electrically connected to the flight controller 26. The circular gears 272 at either end are driven gears, coaxially connected to arcuate gears 271. Driven by the driven gears, the two arcuate gears 271 sequentially mesh with bidirectional racks 274. A push rod 277 is coaxially connected to the distal end of the bidirectional rack 274.The baffle 276 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the push rod 277 . The push rod 277 moves under the drive of the bidirectional rack 274 , thereby pushing the plug end 422 of the cable outward to separate it from the drone.
[0060] When the cable becomes entangled with an obstacle, the tension sensor reaches the set value, preventing the drone from losing control. Flight control 26 issues a command to automatic disengagement device 27, activating small motor 273. Through the meshing transmission of the gear train and rack and pinion, this drives push rod 277 to reciprocate, thereby pushing the plug end 422 of the cable outward, causing it to automatically disengage. Furthermore, the tension of cable 421, as indicated by the tension sensor, is simultaneously displayed on information display 31. To prevent the drone from losing control due to cable 421 becoming entangled with an obstacle, automatic disengagement device 27 can be activated using disengagement button 33 on control panel 3, sending a command to flight control 26 in advance to disengage cable 421 before the tension reaches the upper limit.
[0061] The storage device 1 is provided with a socket connected to a ground power source, so that the lithium battery in the storage device 1 can be charged, and the foldable drone 2 can also be directly powered via the cable 421 .
[0062] A fan 14 is mounted on the exterior of the housing 10 of the storage device 1 and is coaxially connected to the take-up roller 412. This rotates the fan 14 while the cable is being reeled in and out, automatically cooling the tethered power supply 4. A mesh protective cover 46 is mounted on the exterior of the fan 14. A hand crank 415 is coaxially connected to the fan 14. This also rotates the fan 14 when manually reeling in and out the cable 421, cooling the cable 421 and preventing it from overheating and burning.
