[0002] A vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform is an advanced piece of equipment integrating vehicle and UAV technologies. It utilizes the high mobility and flexibility of UAVs to compensate for the blind spots of vehicles in reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Through a vehicle-mounted system providing energy replenishment and real-time communication, the UAV can perform various tasks such as reconnaissance, target designation, and battlefield support, enhancing combat effectiveness. The platform boasts advantages such as rapid deployment, flexible adaptation to complex terrain, and enhanced battlefield situational awareness, providing new technical support and tactical options for modern warfare. This vehicle-mounted UAV platform can connect to UAVs wirelessly or via a wired connection (including a charging cable).
[0003] Existing drone platforms use wired connections to avoid signal interference, but it is difficult to reel the cable in smoothly on the roller during cable winding. Due to entanglement or uneven stacking, the cable may be subjected to excessive bending or pressure, affecting transmission performance. Further improvements are needed, and a vehicle-mounted drone platform is proposed for this purpose. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A vehicle-mounted drone platform includes a support plate, a U-shaped plate mounted on the upper left side of the support plate, a lifting platform mounted on the upper middle side of the support plate, a U-shaped frame mounted on the upper right side of the support plate, a first motor mounted on the front end of the U-shaped plate, the output end of the first motor extending into the U-shaped plate and fixedly connected to a wire roller, a sorting component mounted on the U-shaped plate for driving cables to be evenly wound on the wire roller, and a supply component mounted on the U-shaped frame for storing consumables for the drone.
[0007] Preferably, the sorting component includes a first gear, which is disposed at the rear end of the U-shaped plate and is connected to a wire roller. The first gear is meshed with a second gear, and a reciprocating screw is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second gear. The rear end of the reciprocating screw is movably inserted into the U-shaped plate and movably connected to the front inner wall of the U-shaped plate. A moving block is threaded on the outer surface of the reciprocating screw, and a guide ring is installed at the upper end of the moving block. A guide rod is movably sleeved inside the moving block, and the guide rod is installed on the U-shaped plate.
[0008] Preferably, the guide ring extends to the upper side of the roller.
[0009] Preferably, the supply component includes a second motor, which is installed at the right end of the U-shaped frame. The output end of the second motor extends into the U-shaped frame and is fixedly connected to a disc. The left end of the disc has several placement slots arranged in a circular array, and each of the placement slots contains two supply boxes.
[0010] Preferably, the left end of the U-shaped frame has a through groove, the length and width of which are greater than the length and width of the placement groove, and a horizontal plate is provided on the lower side of the through groove, which is installed on the U-shaped frame.
[0011] Preferably, a fixing plate is installed at the right end of the U-shaped frame, an electric cylinder is installed at the upper end of the fixing plate, a U-shaped push rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder, the left end of the U-shaped push rod is movably inserted into the right inner wall of the U-shaped frame, and the U-shaped push rod is located on the right side of the through groove.
[0012] Preferably, two brackets are installed at the lower end of the support plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. By setting up a winding component, the cable can be easily and evenly wound onto the winding roller. When winding up the cable, the winding roller rotates in the opposite direction. The winding roller drives the second gear to rotate through the first gear. The second gear drives the reciprocating screw to rotate. The reciprocating screw drives the moving block guide ring to move. Under the guidance of the guide ring, the cable is wound around different positions on the winding roller. When the moving block reaches the end, it moves in the opposite direction, so that the cable is evenly wound on the winding roller. The cable is neatly wound up, avoiding tangling, knotting or excessive bending. This reduces the impact of tangling and pressure on signal transmission, avoids communication failures caused by cable damage or interference, and improves the signal quality between the drone and the platform.
[0015] 2. By setting up a resupply unit, batteries and ammunition can be stored conveniently. When in use, multiple batteries and ammunition can be stored in different resupply boxes. When resupply is needed, the second motor is controlled to drive the disc to rotate, so that the placement slot is aligned with the through slot. The electric cylinder is controlled to drive the U-shaped push rod to the left, which pushes the resupply box out of the placement slot and onto the top of the horizontal plate, making it convenient for combat personnel to pick up. This shortens the time for searching and carrying, provides convenience for manual replacement, and greatly improves resupply efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figures 1-4As shown, a vehicle-mounted drone platform includes a support plate 2. A U-shaped plate 4 is installed on the upper left side of the support plate 2, and a lifting platform 3 is installed on the upper middle side of the support plate 2. The lifting platform 3 is used to support the drone's lifting and lowering. A U-shaped frame 8 is installed on the upper right side of the support plate 2. A first motor 5 is installed at the front end of the U-shaped plate 4. The output end of the first motor 5 extends into the U-shaped plate 4 and is fixedly connected to a wire roller 6. A cable is wound on the wire roller 6. In use, the drone is connected to the cable, and signals are transmitted through the cable. The drone is remotely controlled through an FPV device. When the drone is flying, the first motor 5 is controlled to drive the wire roller 6 to rotate, and the wire roller 6 releases the cable. When the drone returns, the first motor 5 is controlled to drive the wire roller 6 to rotate in the opposite direction to retract the cable. However, it is difficult to retract the cable evenly onto the wire roller 6. Due to entanglement or uneven stacking, the cable may be excessively bent or pressured, affecting the transmission performance.
[0025] To address the aforementioned drawbacks, a sorting component 7 is installed on the U-shaped plate 4. This sorting component 7 is used to drive the cable to be evenly wound onto the wire roller 6. Specifically, the sorting component 7 includes a first gear 71, which is located at the rear end of the U-shaped plate 4 and is connected to the wire roller 6. A second gear 72 is meshed with the first gear 71. A reciprocating screw 73 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second gear 72. The rear end of the reciprocating screw 73 is movably inserted into the U-shaped plate 4 and movably connected to the front inner wall of the U-shaped plate 4. A moving block 74 is threaded onto the outer surface of the reciprocating screw 73. A wire ring 76 is installed at the upper end of the moving block 74. A guide rod 75 is movably sleeved inside the moving block 74 and is mounted on the U-shaped plate 4. The cable loop 76 extends to the upper side of the cable roller 6. In use, the cable is first threaded into the cable loop 76. When winding up the cable, the cable roller 6 rotates in the opposite direction. The cable roller 6 drives the second gear 72 to rotate through the first gear 71. The second gear 72 drives the reciprocating screw 73 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 73 drives the moving block 74 to move the cable loop 76. Under the guidance of the cable loop 76, the cable is wound around different positions on the cable roller 6. When the moving block 74 moves to the end, the moving block 74 moves in the opposite direction, so that the cable is evenly wound on the cable roller 6. The cable is neatly wound up, avoiding tangling, knotting or excessive bending, reducing the impact of tangling and pressure on signal transmission, avoiding communication failures caused by cable damage or interference, and improving the signal quality between the UAV and the platform.
[0026] In addition, during drone resupply landing, to facilitate battery and ammunition replacement and avoid subsequent personnel having to move batteries and ammunition onto the platform, a resupply component 11 is installed on the U-shaped frame 8. The resupply component 11 stores consumables for the drone and includes a second motor 111. The second motor 111 is installed at the right end of the U-shaped frame 8, and its output extends into the U-shaped frame 8 and is fixedly connected to a disc 112. The left end of the disc 112 has several placement slots 113 arranged in a circular array. Each placement slot 113 contains two resupply boxes 114, which store batteries and ammunition. The left end of the U-shaped frame 8 has a through slot 9, the length and width of which are greater than the length and width of the placement slots 113. A horizontal plate 1 is installed on the lower side of the through slot 9. 0. A horizontal plate 10 is installed on a U-shaped frame 8. A fixing plate 12 is installed on the right end of the U-shaped frame 8. An electric cylinder 13 is installed on the upper end of the fixing plate 12. A U-shaped push rod 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder 13. The left end of the U-shaped push rod 14 is movably inserted into the right inner wall of the U-shaped frame 8. The U-shaped push rod 14 is located on the right side of the through slot 9. In use, multiple batteries and ammunition are stored in different supply boxes 114. When resupply is needed, the second motor 111 is controlled to drive the disc 112 to rotate, so that one of the placement slots 113 is aligned with the through slot 9. The electric cylinder 13 is controlled to drive the U-shaped push rod 14 to move to the left, so that the supply box 114 can be pushed out from the placement slot 113 to the top of the horizontal plate 10, which is convenient for combat personnel to take, shortens the time for searching and carrying, provides convenience for manual replacement, and greatly improves the resupply efficiency.
[0027] To facilitate the installation of the support plate 2 on the vehicle, two brackets 1 are installed at the lower end of the support plate 2.
