Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural plant protection technology, specifically relating to a plant protection drone take-off and landing platform. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modern agriculture, agricultural drones have gradually become an important tool in agricultural production due to their efficient and precise pesticide spraying capabilities. However, existing agricultural drones still face some problems that urgently need to be solved during takeoff, landing, and transportation.
[0003] Currently, most agricultural drone take-off and landing platforms on the market use fixed brackets or simple fixing devices to support and secure the drones. These platforms can provide basic take-off and landing support when the drones are spraying pesticides. However, during drone transportation, due to the simple structural design of the platforms, they often cannot effectively secure the drones, leading to shaking or even damage during transport. Furthermore, existing platforms lack effective sealing measures when storing drones, failing to ensure the drones are in a closed environment during transportation, increasing the risk of the drones being affected by external environmental factors.
[0004] Furthermore, traditional take-off and landing platforms are complex to operate during the storage and retrieval of drones, lacking automated control, resulting in low efficiency for operators during loading and unloading operations and posing certain safety hazards. Especially in large-scale agricultural operations, frequent drone loading and unloading operations place higher demands on the stability and ease of operation of the platform. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a take-off and landing platform for agricultural drones, which can not only enable drones to take off and land, but also provide protection during drone transportation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A plant protection drone take-off and landing platform includes a storage compartment, and a sliding cover is slidably connected to the top opening of the storage compartment. The number of sliding covers is set to two, and the two sliding covers are arranged opposite to each other.
[0008] A first cylinder is connected between the outer side of the sliding cover and the storage compartment. The first cylinder is used to control the movement of the sliding cover.
[0009] The storage compartment is equipped with a lifting platform inside, and the top of the lifting platform is symmetrically equipped with fixing mechanisms;
[0010] The fixing mechanism is used to secure the drone.
[0011] Furthermore, guide strips are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the storage compartment;
[0012] Both sides of the sliding cover are fixedly connected to a locking plate, and the inner side of the locking plate is provided with a guide groove that engages with the guide strip.
[0013] Furthermore, the fixed end of the first cylinder is provided with a connecting seat that connects to the storage compartment;
[0014] The telescopic end of the first cylinder is provided with a push plate that is connected to the positioning plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the lifting platform includes a base plate and a top plate, and a first support frame and a second support frame are rotatably connected between the base plate and the top plate, and a second cylinder is provided between the first support frame and the second support frame;
[0016] The second cylinder is used to control the angle between the first support frame and the second support frame, thereby controlling the height between the bottom plate and the top plate.
[0017] Furthermore, a first roller is provided at the top of the first support frame, and a second roller is provided at the bottom of the second support frame;
[0018] When the angle between the first support frame and the second support frame changes, the second roller slides on the bottom plate and the first roller slides on the top plate.
[0019] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a fastening seat, which has two through slots on its side and a strap connected to one side of the fastening seat.
[0020] Furthermore, fixing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the bolt seat, and fixing holes are symmetrically opened through the upper end of the fixing plates.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] The agricultural drone take-off and landing platform provided by this utility model effectively solves the problem of unstable drone fixation during transportation in existing technologies. By setting a fixing mechanism on the top plate and using straps to firmly fix the drone to the crossbars of the support legs, it is ensured that the drone will not shake or be damaged during transportation. In addition, the adjustable angle between the top plate and the bottom plate through the first and second support frames, as well as the control of the second cylinder, allows the top plate to be stably stored in the storage compartment, further improving the safety during transportation.
[0023] This utility model's take-off and landing platform achieves automated control during the storage and retrieval of drones, significantly improving operational efficiency. By controlling the opening and closing of the sliding cover with a first cylinder and adjusting the height of the lifting platform with a second cylinder, operators can quickly and conveniently complete the loading and unloading of drones, reducing the complexity and safety hazards of manual operation. The synchronous opening and closing design of the sliding cover and the cooperation between the guide strip and the guide groove ensure the smoothness and stability of the sliding cover during the opening and closing process, further enhancing the platform's ease of operation and reliability.
[0024] Furthermore, the take-off and landing platform design of this utility model takes into account the usage requirements under various environmental conditions. The sliding cover is made of weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the platform under different climatic conditions. The straps in the fixing mechanism are made of high-strength nylon or polyester fiber materials, which have good elasticity and wear resistance, ensuring the stability of the UAV during transportation and operation. At the same time, the lifting platform, through the rotating connection of the first and second support frames and the sliding design of the first and second rollers, ensures the smoothness and precision of the lifting process, extending the service life of each component of the platform.

[0037] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0038] See Figure 1-6 A plant protection drone take-off and landing platform includes a storage compartment 1. Two sliding covers 2 are slidably connected to the top opening of the storage compartment 1, and the two covers 2 are positioned opposite each other. The storage compartment 1 is used to accommodate the plant protection drone. The sliding covers 2 are smoothly connected to the top opening of the storage compartment 1 via a guide rail mechanism, ensuring smooth and stable movement of the sliding covers 2 during opening and closing. The opposite arrangement of the two sliding covers 2 not only covers the entire top opening of the storage compartment 1, providing comprehensive protection, but also allows for simultaneous opening and closing through synchronous control, improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, the sliding covers 2 are made of weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring good performance under various environmental conditions.
[0039] A first cylinder 21 is connected between the outer side of the sliding cover 2 and the storage compartment 1. The first cylinder 21 is used to control the movement of the sliding cover 2. The first cylinder 21 is firmly connected to the outer side of the sliding cover 2 through the fixed end, and the telescopic end is connected to the locking plate 22 inside the storage compartment 1 through the connecting seat 211. The working principle of the first cylinder 21 is to drive its telescopic movement through changes in air pressure, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the sliding cover 2. The installation position of the cylinder is reasonably designed to ensure that the cylinder is subjected to uniform force during the operation of the sliding cover 2, thus extending the service life of the cylinder. In addition, the first cylinder 21 is equipped with a pressure regulating device, which can adjust the opening and closing speed and force of the sliding cover 2 according to actual needs, thereby improving the intelligent control level of the platform.
[0040] The storage compartment 1 is equipped with a lifting platform 3, and a fixing mechanism 4 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the lifting platform 3. The lifting platform 3 consists of a base plate 31 and a top plate 32. The base plate 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage compartment 1, and the top plate 32 is rotatably connected to the base plate 31 through a first support frame 33 and a second support frame 34. The fixing mechanism 4 is installed on the top plate 32 of the lifting platform 3 and is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top plate 32. The fixing mechanism 4 includes a fastening seat 41 and a strap 43. The fastening seat 41 is connected to the strap 43 through two through slots 411 to ensure that the strap 43 can firmly wrap around the crossbar of the drone's support legs during the fixing process. The design of the fixing mechanism 4 can not only effectively fix the drone and prevent it from shaking during transportation, but also facilitate operators to quickly load and unload the drone, improving work efficiency.
[0041] See Figure 2-3 Guide strips 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the storage compartment 1. The guide strips 11 are firmly installed on the inner wall of the top of the storage compartment 1 by bolts or welding. The shape and position of the guide strips 11 are designed to perfectly match the guide rail system of the sliding cover 2, ensuring that the sliding cover 2 does not shift during opening and closing. A locking plate 22 is fixedly connected to both sides of the 2. The inner side of the locking plate 22 is provided with a guide groove 221 that engages with the guide strips 11. The size and shape of the guide groove 221 correspond precisely to the guide strips 11, ensuring that the guide groove 221 can accurately embed into the guide strips 11 when the sliding cover 2 is opened and closed, achieving stable guidance and support. The locking plate 22 is made of high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, ensuring that the locking plate 22 can withstand repeated mechanical stress without deformation during the opening and closing process of the sliding cover 2 driven by the cylinder 21.
[0042] See Figure 2 The fixed end of the first cylinder 21 is provided with a connecting seat 211 connected to the storage compartment 1; the connecting seat 211 is fixed to the inner wall of the storage compartment 1 by bolts to ensure that the first cylinder 21 remains stable during operation; the telescopic end of the first cylinder 21 is provided with a push plate 212 connected to the positioning plate 22; the push plate 212 is connected to the positioning plate 22 by a connecting rod or pin, and can transmit force to the positioning plate 22 when the first cylinder 21 telescopically extends or retracts, thereby driving the opening and closing action of the sliding cover 2; the design of the push plate 212 takes into account the force transmission efficiency and durability, and is made of high-strength materials to ensure that it can maintain good mechanical performance under frequent operation; in addition, the installation position of the push plate 212 has been precisely calculated to optimize the working efficiency of the cylinder 21 and the movement path of the sliding cover 2.
[0043] See Figure 5-6The lifting platform 3 includes a base plate 31 and a top plate 32, with a first support frame 33 and a second support frame 34 rotatably connected between the base plate 31 and the top plate 32. A second cylinder 35 is installed between the first support frame 33 and the second support frame 34. The base plate 31 is connected to the first support frame 33 via a hinge or bearing to ensure that the top plate 32 can rotate smoothly during lifting. The second support frame 34 is also connected to the base plate 31 via a hinge or bearing to form an adjustable support structure. The second cylinder 35 is installed between the first support frame 33 and the second support frame 34, and the included angle between the two support frames is controlled by air pressure adjustment. The change in the included angle directly affects the height between the top plate 32 and the base plate 31, thereby realizing the lifting function of the lifting platform 3. The design of the second cylinder 35 takes into account load balance and operational stability, ensuring that it can provide sufficient support force when the top plate 32 carries the drone, and preventing the top plate 32 from tilting or shaking during lifting.
[0044] See Figure 5-6 The first support frame 33 has a first roller 331 at its top and the second support frame 34 has a second roller 341 at its bottom. The first roller 331 is installed on the edge of the top plate 32 and can slide freely on the guide rail or track during the lifting and lowering of the top plate 32, reducing friction and protecting the structural integrity of the top plate 32. The second roller 341 is installed at the corresponding position on the bottom plate 31 to ensure that the second support frame 34 can move smoothly during the lifting and lowering process. When the included angle between the first support frame 33 and the second support frame 34 changes, the second roller 341 slides on the bottom plate 31 and the first roller 331 slides on the top plate 32. The coordinated movement of the two ensures that the lifting and lowering process of the lifting platform 3 is smooth and precise. The rollers are made of wear-resistant rubber or polymer materials to extend their service life and improve sliding performance.
[0045] See Figure 4 The fixing mechanism 4 includes a fastening seat 41, with two through slots 411 extending through its side, and a strap 43 connected to one side of the fastening seat 41. The fastening seat 41, through the pre-designed through slots 411, can effectively guide the installation path of the strap 43, ensuring that the strap 43 is not easily loosened when fixing the drone support foot. The strap 43 is made of high-strength nylon or polyester fiber material, which has good elasticity and wear resistance, and can firmly fix the drone during transportation. The structural design of the fastening seat 41 takes into account the fastening force and convenience of the strap 43, ensuring that the operator can quickly and easily complete the fixing and releasing operation of the drone, while ensuring the safety and reliability of the fixing process.
[0046] See Figure 4The bottom sides of the anchor 41 are fixedly connected to fixing plates 42, and the upper end face of the fixing plates 42 is symmetrically provided with fixing holes 421. The fixing plates 42 are firmly installed at the bottom of the anchor 41 by bolts or welding, ensuring that the fixing plates 42 can effectively transmit torque when the strap 43 is under force, and preventing the anchor 41 from shifting or falling off during transportation. The fixing holes 421 are designed to cooperate with the fixing buckles or ring connectors of the strap 43 to ensure that the strap 43 can be firmly locked when fixing the drone support foot. The size and position of the fixing holes 421 are precisely calculated to adapt to the support foot of different models of drones, improving the versatility and adaptability of the fixing mechanism 4. In addition, the fixing plates 42 are made of high-strength metal or composite materials to ensure that they can maintain good mechanical properties and structural stability under long-term use and repeated operation.
[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0048] When in use, place the drone on the top plate 32 and wrap the strap 43 around the crossbar of the drone's support legs. Then, pass one end of the strap 43 through the bottom through slot 411 and then through the top through slot 411. This will fix the drone on the top plate 32 and prevent the drone from shaking during transportation.
[0049] During transportation, the opening and closing angle of the first support frame 33 and the second support frame 34 is controlled by the second cylinder 35, so that the included angle between the two increases. As the included angle increases, the distance between the top plate 32 and the bottom plate 31 decreases, thereby causing the top plate 32 to retract into the storage compartment 1 and storing the drone placed on top of the top plate 32 into the storage compartment 1. Then, the sliding cover 2 is moved by the first cylinder 21, so that the two sliding covers 2 move closer to each other and seal the top opening of the storage compartment 1.
[0050] This allows people to be in a closed space during transportation;
[0051] When a drone is needed to spray pesticides, the first cylinder 21 is used to control the sliding cover 2 to move and open the sliding cover 2.
[0052] Next, the angle between the first support frame 33 and the second support frame 34 is controlled by the second cylinder 35, so that the angle between the first support frame 33 and the second support frame 34 becomes smaller, and the top plate 32 is gradually raised until the top plate 32 and the sliding cover 2 are at the same horizontal height.
[0053] Loosen the straps 43 securing the drone support frame, and the drone can then perform pesticide spraying operations.
[0054] Furthermore, the platform formed by the top plate 32 and the two sliding covers 2 also facilitates the take-off and landing of drones.
[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
