Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the widespread application of unmanned equipment in the military field, UAV launch technology has become particularly important. Existing technologies cannot meet the needs of UAV launch. Therefore, a UAV launcher structure has been designed to meet the launch requirements of UAVs for long-distance delivery, long-endurance loitering, and operation and maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] A UAV launcher structure is characterized by the following: the launcher comprises an upper layer, a lower layer, horizontal square tubes, vertical square tubes, limiting blocks, and keyways. To ensure that the propellers and booster rockets do not interfere with the launcher body during UAV launch, the launcher is designed as a two-layer structure. The horizontal square tubes of the bottom layer, which are mainly subjected to stress, are designed as a single piece, while the vertical square tubes are welded to the edge angle steel. To ensure the strength and accuracy requirements after welding, limiting blocks are designed at the welding points between the vertical support square tubes of the upper and lower layers and the bottom square tube. The limiting blocks are connected to the truss via keyways and fixed with bolts. To save costs and improve quality consistency, the launcher is formed by welding profiles with a weld width of 4-6mm. To ensure welding accuracy, the launcher and the shaping fixture undergo low-temperature tempering after welding. After furnace cooling, the shaping fixture is removed, and the guide rail mounting surface is precision machined. The weld seams are ground to a smooth surface to ensure the parallelism of the four guide rails, ensuring the accuracy of the UAV launcher, the precise launch direction of the UAV, accurate positioning, simple use and maintenance, and expandability, meeting the requirements of UAV weapon systems. Attached Figure Description

[0004] Appendix Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a drone launcher. Detailed Implementation

[0005] To ensure that the propellers and booster rockets do not interfere with the launch pad during UAV launch, the launch pad is designed as a two-layer structure. The main load-bearing horizontal square tubes of the bottom plane are designed as a single piece, while the longitudinal square tubes are welded to the edge angle steel. To ensure the strength and accuracy requirements after welding, limiting blocks are designed at the welded joints between the upper and lower vertical support square tubes and the bottom square tube. The limiting blocks are connected to the truss via keyways and fixed with bolts. To save costs and improve quality consistency, the launch pad is made of profile welded with a weld width of 4-6mm. To ensure welding accuracy, the launch pad and the shaping fixture undergo low-temperature tempering after welding. After furnace cooling, the shaping fixture is removed, and the guide rail mounting surface is precision machined. The weld seams are ground to a smooth surface to ensure the parallelism of the four guide rails, ensuring the accuracy of the UAV launch pad, the precise launch direction of the UAV, accurate positioning, simple use and maintenance, and expandability, meeting the requirements of the UAV launch weapon system.
