Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone pod protection technology, specifically to a drone pod with protective functions. Background Technology

[0002] The "leapfrog" drone nest is an innovative technological application primarily used in the field of drone inspection. It aims to solve the problems of limited endurance and small inspection range of traditional drones used for power line inspection. By charging at a different location—a process known as "leapfrog"—the drone can continue operating without returning to its original takeoff point, thus significantly extending its operating time and increasing its coverage radius.

[0003] The process of the drone entering the leapfrog shared drone nest is controlled remotely from a control center. The leapfrog shared drone nest includes the drone, the nest, and the remote control center.

[0004] Some existing drones may fail to land accurately on the nest due to malfunction or external force, causing damage to the drone.

[0005] Publication number CN217598857U proposes a drone nest with protective features. This device collects and protects drones that accidentally fall to the ground, reducing the likelihood of surface damage and affecting subsequent use, thus increasing the safety of the drone nest. However, after collecting the accidentally fallen drones, the device cannot automatically transport them to the landing platform area of ​​the nest; subsequent manual intervention is still required, indicating that the level of automation needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose a drone hopping nest with protective functions.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0008] A protective drone pod for leapfrogging includes a pod body, two sets of first multi-stage telescopic components, a mounting rod, a lifting assembly, a tilting assembly, and rubber pads.

[0009] Two sets of first-stage telescopic components are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear walls of the frog jump machine nest body, and each set includes two components.

[0010] The two sets of mounting rods are connected to the first multi-stage telescopic component and correspond one-to-one;

[0011] The lifting assembly is mounted on each mounting rod;

[0012] The flipping component is located between two sets of lifting components on the same side of the frog jump machine's nest body;

[0013] The rubber pad is movable on the flip assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a slide rail, a fixing plate, and a second multi-stage telescopic component. Each mounting rod is provided with a slide rail and a second multi-stage telescopic component, and a fixing plate connected to the second multi-stage telescopic component is slidably fitted on the slide rail.

[0015] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a rotating shaft, a drive box, and a rotating plate. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between two fixed plates on the same side of the frog jump machine nest body. A drive box is provided on one of the fixed plates, and a drive assembly is provided inside the drive box. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the drive assembly, and a rotating plate is provided on the rotating shaft. A rubber pad is movably provided on the rotating plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the rubber pad is lower in the middle and higher on both sides.

[0017] Furthermore, a vibration motor is provided at the bottom of the rotating plate.

[0018] The above solution, by using a rubber pad with a lower center and higher sides, combined with a vibration motor, enables the drone to move along the center of the rubber pad, ultimately completing the directional automatic transport process to the frog-jump drone landing platform.

[0019] Furthermore, the rotating plate is provided with drainage holes, and the rubber pad is provided with through holes of the same size that correspond one-to-one with the drainage holes and are connected to them.

[0020] The above solution can promptly drain rainwater from the rubber mat during rainy weather, thus preventing the accumulation of rainwater on the rubber mat. It can also effectively remove accumulated impurities by driving the rotating plate to flip over.

[0021] Furthermore, the outer side of the frog jumping machine nest body is provided with a protective electric grid that is spaced apart from the mounting rod.

[0022] The above solution uses a protective electric grid to prevent outsiders from approaching the drone's nest, thereby reducing the risk of the drone's nest being stolen and further improving the protection of the drone's nest.

[0023] Furthermore, a distance sensor electrically connected to the drive assembly is provided at the bottom of the rotating plate.

[0024] The above solution uses a distance sensor to detect the distance between the rotating plate and the landing platform of the frog jump machine in real time, and then feeds it back to the controller to enable the drive components to operate accurately.

[0025] Furthermore, the drive assembly employs either chain drive or gear drive.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] Compared to existing technologies, this device can buffer and collect drones that fail to land accurately on the landing platform of the drone's nest due to malfunction or external force and detach from one side. After collection, it can automatically transport the drone back to the landing platform of the drone's nest. This process is automated and does not require human intervention, thus effectively avoiding the problem of drones being damaged when they land on the ground. The protective effect of the drone's nest on drones is further improved. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a protective UAV jumping hull includes a jumping hull body 1, two sets of first multi-stage telescopic components 3, a mounting rod 2, a lifting assembly, a tilting assembly, and a rubber pad 25.

[0035] Two sets of first multi-stage telescopic components 3 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear walls of the frog jumping machine nest body 1, and each set includes two components.

[0036] The two sets of mounting rods 2 are connected to the first multi-stage telescopic component 3 and correspond one-to-one;

[0037] The lifting assembly is installed on each mounting rod 2;

[0038] The flipping component is located between two sets of lifting components on the same side of the frog jump machine nest body 1;

[0039] The rubber pad 25 is movably mounted on the flip assembly.

[0040] Further refinements of the embodiments of this utility model, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a slide rail 201, a fixing plate 21, and a second multi-stage telescopic component 27. Each mounting rod 2 is provided with a slide rail 201 and a second multi-stage telescopic component 27. A fixing plate 21 connected to the second multi-stage telescopic component 27 is slidably fitted on the slide rail 201.

[0041] Further refinements of the embodiments of this utility model, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the flipping assembly includes a rotating shaft 22, a drive box 23, and a rotating plate 24. A rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected between two fixed plates 21 on the same side of the frog jumping machine nest body 1. The drive box 23 is installed on one of the fixed plates 21, and a drive assembly is installed inside the drive box 23 (specifically, the drive assembly adopts either chain drive or gear drive, both of which are existing technologies and will not be improved). One end of the rotating shaft 22 is connected to the drive assembly, and the rotating plate 24 is installed on the rotating shaft 22. A rubber pad 25 is movably installed on the rotating plate 24.

[0042] A further optimization of the above embodiment is that the rubber pad 25 is lower in the middle and higher on both sides;

[0043] Furthermore, a vibration motor 26 is installed at the bottom of the rotating plate 24.

[0044] It should be noted that the frog jumping machine nest body 1, the first multi-stage telescopic component 3, the second multi-stage telescopic component 27, the drive assembly, and the vibration motor 26 are all electrically connected to the controller, which is not shown in the figure.

[0045] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] First, two sets of flipping components for drone landing protection are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frog jumper nest body 1. In the initial state, the controller controls the first multi-stage telescopic members 3 on both sides of the front and rear walls of the frog jumper nest body 1 to extend so that both sets of flipping components move to the outside of the frog jumper nest body 1 (at this time, the rotating plate 24 is in a horizontal state and does not contact the frog jumper nest body 1 during the subsequent downward movement). Then, the lifting component works and drives the flipping component to move to a height lower than the landing platform of the frog jumper nest body 1 and then stops. Then, the drone begins to fall onto the landing platform of the frog jumper nest body 1.

[0047] If the drone fails to land accurately on the pod body 1 due to malfunction or external force and detaches from one side of its landing platform, the drone will land on the rubber pad 25 on one side for cushioning. After the drone stops, the controller controls the lifting component on the side where it fell to move, thereby causing the flipping component to move upward. When the flipping component moves to a preset height, it stops (this height does not affect the subsequent flipping of the rotating plate 24). Then, the controller controls the first multi-stage telescopic component 3 on the same side as the lifting component to retract, so that the flipping component is close to and above the pod body 1. The horizontal movement distance range is also preset in the controller. After the flipping component completes the horizontal movement, the controller controls the drive component to work and thus deflect the rotating plate 24. At the same time, the vibration of the vibration motor 26 enables the drone to move along the middle of the rubber pad 25 and finally land on the landing platform of the nest. Then the frog-jump nest body 1 corrects the position of the drone and then descends to store the drone inside for charging and maintenance. The opening and closing of the cover of the frog-jump nest body 1 (the cover moves horizontally), the automatic uprighting of the drone, and the driving of the drone to rise and fall are all existing technologies and no improvements are made.

[0048] After the drone is stored inside the pod body 1, the controller first activates the drive assembly to move the rotating plate to a horizontal position. Then, it controls the first multi-stage telescopic component to move, driving the flipping assembly to move outwards. Once the flipping assembly reaches a position that does not interfere with the flipping mechanism, the drive assembly activates to move the rotating plate to a vertical position (as per the instruction manual). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the second multi-stage telescopic component drives the flipping component to move to the preset height and then stops. At the same time, the first multi-stage telescopic component retracts to realize the storage of this device and wait for the next drone to land. At the same time, this state does not affect the normal flight of subsequent drones.

[0049] Compared to existing technologies, this device can buffer and collect drones that fail to land accurately on the landing platform of the Frog Jumper Nest 1 due to malfunction or external force and detach from one side. After collection, it can automatically transport the drone back to the landing platform of the Frog Jumper Nest 1. This process is automated and does not require human intervention, thus effectively avoiding the problem of drones being damaged when they land on the ground. The protective effect of the Frog Jumper Nest 1 on drones is further improved.

[0050] In some embodiments, the rotating plate 24 is provided with a water leakage hole, and the rubber pad 25 is provided with a through hole of the same size that corresponds to and communicates with the water leakage hole. The water leakage hole and the through hole are shown in the figure but are not specifically labeled. In this embodiment, rainwater on the rubber pad 25 can be discharged in time during rainy days, thereby avoiding the problem of rainwater accumulating on the rubber pad 25. Furthermore, the accumulated impurities can be effectively removed by driving the rotating plate 24 to flip.

[0051] In other embodiments, a distance sensor electrically connected to the drive assembly is provided at the bottom of the rotating plate 24. The distance sensor is not shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the distance sensor can detect the distance between the rotating plate 24 and the landing platform of the frog jump machine nest body 1 in real time, and then feed it back to the controller to realize the accurate operation of the drive assembly.

[0052] In other embodiments, a protective electric grid is provided on the outside of the frog jumper nest body 1, which is spaced apart from the mounting rod 2. The protective electric grid is not shown in the figure and is prior art, and its working principle will not be described. In this embodiment, the protective electric grid can prevent outsiders from approaching the frog jumper nest body 1, thereby reducing the risk of the frog jumper nest body 1 being stolen, and further improving the protection effect of the drone frog jumper nest.

[0053] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
