Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and specifically relates to a landing device for UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] A drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle, is an unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device. Drones have a wide range of applications. In civilian fields, they can be used for aerial photography, agricultural plant protection, power line inspection, environmental monitoring, and logistics delivery; in the military field, they can perform reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition.

[0003] When novice pilots operate drones (the drones referred to in this application are small rotary-wing drones), they often fail to control the landing speed properly, resulting in excessive landing speed and a large impact with the ground, which damages the drone. Although the drone itself has a shock-absorbing landing mechanism, the impact force is too great at excessive landing speed, making the drone prone to tipping over and reducing the protection effect. Therefore, a technical measure is proposed to solve the problem that the existing technology lacks a landing assistance mechanism for drones, which makes it easy for novice pilots to land drones at excessively high landing speeds, resulting in a large impact with the ground and damage to the drone. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a landing device for drones, which aims to solve the problem that the existing technology lacks a landing assistance mechanism for drones, and that when novice operators operate drones to land, they are prone to landing too fast, causing a large impact with the ground, which can easily damage the drone.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a landing device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising a housing with a rotatable cover. Multiple sets of evenly distributed springs are installed inside the lower part of the housing, and mounting plates are mounted on the upper ends of the springs. The mounting plates are slidably fitted into the interior of the housing. Rubber shock-absorbing pads are mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plates, and a landing groove is formed in the middle of the lower surface of the rubber shock-absorbing pads. A marker point is located in the middle of the landing groove. Two sets of symmetrically distributed fixing components are mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plates. Thanks to the rubber shock-absorbing pads, landing groove, marker point, and springs, when the impact force of the UAV's descent is large, the rubber shock-absorbing pads absorb the impact force, preventing the UAV from undergoing a rigid collision, thereby reducing the probability of collision damage during UAV landing.

[0006] Furthermore, a lock is installed between the box body and the box lid.

[0007] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a handle on the side, and the inner side walls of the box body are provided with toothed grooves in the middle.

[0008] Furthermore, a soft pad is provided on the upper part of the inside of the box lid.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a housing, and there are two sets of housings. The two sets of housings are symmetrically fixedly installed in the middle position of the upper surface of the mounting plate. Thanks to the setting of the fixing component, it is convenient to adjust the upper space of the rubber shock-absorbing pad, thereby making it convenient to carry drones of different sizes, improving practicality. Moreover, under the action of the rubber shock-absorbing pad and the soft pad, the collision force generated by the drone is small, protecting the drone.

[0010] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided at the lower center of the side of the box, and a threaded hole is provided at the lower center of the side of the box. A screw is threaded into the threaded hole, and a knob is connected to the end of the screw. A movable plate is rotatably connected to the end of the screw away from the knob. The movable plate is slidably adapted to the inside of the box. Two sets of symmetrically distributed limiting rods slide through the movable plate. The limiting rods are fixedly installed inside the box. A push plate is installed at the lower side of the movable plate. The push plate is slidably adapted to the sliding groove. A locking plate is installed at the end of the push plate away from the movable plate. Multiple sets of evenly distributed locking teeth are provided on the side of the locking plate away from the push plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the teeth and grooves are properly matched.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention utilizes a rubber shock-absorbing pad, a landing groove, marker points, and springs. When the impact force of a drone's descent is significant, the rubber shock-absorbing pad absorbs the impact, preventing rigid collisions and reducing the likelihood of damage during landing. When landing is required, the landing groove and marker points determine the landing position, and the drone is then controlled to descend. When the impact force of the drone's descent is significant, the rubber shock-absorbing pad absorbs the impact, and the drone's descent causes the rubber shock-absorbing pad to move downwards. This downward movement of the rubber shock-absorbing pad causes the mounting plate to move downwards, which in turn compresses the spring.

[0014] The fixed components allow for easy adjustment of the upper space of the rubber shock-absorbing pad, making it convenient to carry drones of different sizes and improving practicality. Furthermore, the collision force generated when carrying the drone is reduced due to the action of the rubber shock-absorbing pad and the soft pad, thus protecting the drone. Pressing down on the rubber shock-absorbing pad makes the upper space of the rubber shock-absorbing pad fit the drone, and then rotating the knob causes the locking teeth to abut against the groove, completing the fixation.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] This specific embodiment is a landing device for a drone, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the device includes a housing 1, with a lid 4 rotatably mounted on the housing 1. Multiple evenly distributed springs 9 are installed inside the lower part of the housing 1. A mounting plate 10 is installed on the upper end of each spring 9, slidingly fitting into the interior of the housing 1. Rubber shock-absorbing pads 6 are installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 10, and a landing groove 8 is formed in the middle of the lower surface of the rubber shock-absorbing pads 6. A marker point 7 is located in the middle of the landing groove 8. Two symmetrically distributed fixing components 2 are installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 10. A housing lock 5 is installed between the housing 1 and the lid 4. A handle 3 is located on the side of the housing 1. Gear grooves 11 are formed in the middle of the two side walls inside the housing 1. A soft pad 12 is located on the upper part of the inside of the lid 4. When a novice operates the drone, they carry the device using the handle 3 and the housing 1. When reaching a suitable location, they open the housing lock 5, then remove the drone, and finally release it using the fixing components 2. The mounting plate 10 is positioned such that (normally, the drone is placed inside the housing 1, between the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 and the soft pad 12; the heights of the mounting plate 10 and the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 are adjustable to accommodate drones of different heights). Under the rebound of the spring 9, the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 is fully exposed outside the housing 1. The drone is then controlled to fly. When landing is required, the landing position is determined by the landing groove 8 and the marker point 7. The drone is then controlled to descend. When the impact force of the drone's descent is large, the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 absorbs the impact force. As the drone descends, it moves the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 downward, which in turn moves the mounting plate 10 downward. The downward movement of the mounting plate 10 compresses the spring 9. The position of the mounting plate 10 is then adjusted by the fixing component 2 so that the drone can be placed inside the housing 1.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the fixing component 2 includes a housing 201, of which there are two sets. The two sets of housings 201 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 10 at the middle position. A sliding groove 202 is provided at the middle position of the lower end of the side of the housing 201. A threaded hole 203 is provided at the middle position of the side of the housing 201. A screw 210 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 203. A knob 206 is connected to the end of the screw 210. A movable plate 205 is rotatably connected to the end of the screw 210 away from the knob 206. The movable plate 205 is slidably adapted to the inside of the housing 201. Two sets of symmetrically distributed limiting rods 204 slide through the movable plate 205. The limiting rods 204 are fixedly installed inside the housing 201. A push plate 209 is installed on the lower end of the side of the movable plate 205. The push plate 209 is slidably adapted to the sliding groove 202. A locking plate 207 is installed at the end of plate 209 away from the moving plate 205. Multiple sets of evenly distributed locking teeth 208 are provided on the side of the locking plate 207 away from the push plate 209. The locking teeth 208 fit into the tooth groove 11. Press down on the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 so that the upper space of the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 fits the drone. Then rotate the knob 206. The rotation of the knob 206 drives the screw 210 to rotate. The screw 210 rotates outward and drives the moving plate 205 to move along the limit rod 204 towards the tooth groove 11. The movement of the moving plate 205 drives the push plate 209 to move. The movement of the push plate 209 drives the locking plate 207 to move. The movement of the locking plate 207 causes the locking teeth 208 to abut against the tooth groove 11, completing the fixation. Then close the box cover 4 and take away the drone.

[0025] When a novice operates the drone, the device is carried using handle 3 and housing 1. Upon reaching a suitable location, the housing lock 5 is opened, and the drone is removed. The mounting plate 10 is then released via the fixing component 2 (normally, the drone is placed inside housing 1, between the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 and the soft pad 12; the height of the mounting plate 10 and the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 is adjustable to accommodate drones of different heights). The spring 9's return action causes the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 to fully protrude from housing 1. The drone can then be flown. When landing is required, the drone is guided through the landing slot 8 and marker point 7. After determining the landing position, the drone is controlled to descend. When the impact force of the drone's descent is large, the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 absorbs the impact force. As the drone descends, it moves the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 downward, which in turn moves the mounting plate 10 downward, compressing the spring 9. Through the arrangement of the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6, the landing groove 8, the marker point 7, and the spring 9, when the impact force of the drone's descent is large, the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 absorbs the impact force, preventing the drone from undergoing a rigid collision and thus reducing the probability of the drone being damaged by a collision during landing.

[0026] Then, the position of the mounting plate 10 is adjusted using the fixing component 2 so that the drone can be placed inside the housing 1. Specifically, the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 is pressed down so that the upper space of the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 fits the drone. Then, the knob 206 is rotated, which drives the screw 210 to rotate. The screw 210 rotates outward, which drives the moving plate 205 to move along the limiting rod 204 towards the tooth groove 11. The movement of the moving plate 205 drives the push plate 209 to move, which drives the locking plate 207 to move. The movement of the locking plate 207 causes the locking teeth 208 to abut against the tooth groove 11, completing the fixation. Then, the housing cover 4 is closed and the drone is removed. The setting of the fixing component 2 makes it easy to adjust the upper space of the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6, thus facilitating the carrying of drones of different sizes and improving practicality. Furthermore, under the action of the rubber shock-absorbing pad 6 and the soft pad 12, the impact force generated when carrying the drone is small, protecting the drone.
