Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ground equipment technology, and in particular to a UAV track facility. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of drone technology, drone racing has grown rapidly. As an emerging entertainment facility, there are not enough corresponding facilities available for its use. Currently, building both drone racing tracks and infrastructure requires a large land area, resulting in low space utilization. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a drone track facility that can be used on existing infrastructure.

[0004] Based on this, this application provides a drone racing track facility, including at least one drone track. The drone track includes: a pedestrian walkway, rest facilities, soundproof barriers, track pillars, and a passage frame.

[0006] In another embodiment of this application, the track column is horizontally rotatably mounted on the soundproof baffle, and the rotatable actuator is used to adjust the angle of rotation of the track frame, thereby adjusting the angle between the track frame and the pedestrian walkway.

[0007] In one embodiment, the rotary actuator includes a rotor portion and a stator portion that rotate relative to each other, with one part of the track column connected to the rotor portion and another part connected to the stator portion; the stator portion is fixed to a soundproof baffle.

[0008] Based on the above embodiments, the drone track facility includes at least two drone tracks, with different relative angles between the passage frame and the pedestrian walkway for each drone track.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "top" and "bottom" used in this application are characteristic descriptions based on the shapes exemplified in the accompanying drawings. Different installation features resulting from such modifications, without requiring creative alteration to other shapes, should also fall within the scope of protection of this application. For example, the mounting surface of frame 105 on the track post 104 is not the uppermost surface, but because its installation position is relatively high, it still conforms to the characteristic of being installed at the top in this application, and therefore also falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Among emerging forms of entertainment, drones 20 have become a popular choice, attracting numerous enthusiasts with their unique control methods and free-roaming range. As drone entertainment activities increase, there is a need for more tracks, but existing drone tracks 10 have many limitations, occupying significant space in existing facilities, creating a clash between old and new entertainment methods. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a drone track 10 to solve this problem.

[0027] Based on this, such as Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a drone racing track facility 1, including at least one drone track 10. The drone track 10 includes: a pedestrian walkway 101, a rest facility 102, a soundproof barrier 103, track pillars 104, and a passage frame 105, with the passage frame 105 including indicator lights. The rest facility 102 is installed on one side of the pedestrian walkway, and the soundproof barrier 103 is installed on the other side of the pedestrian walkway 101. The bottom of the track pillars 104 is connected to the pedestrian walkway 101. The passage frame 105 is installed on the top of the track pillars 104, and the indicator lights can display different colors. The passage frame (105) allows drones 20 to pass through.

[0028] The system can display indicator lights of different colors to indicate the current status of a passageway. For example, a green indicator light means the passageway is currently passable, while a red indicator light means the passageway is currently impassable. Alternatively, a green indicator light could mean the passageway is on the planned route, while a red indicator light could mean the passageway is not on the planned route. It is understood that green and red can be replaced with other distinguishable colors without affecting the implementation of this solution.

[0029] The above solution combines pedestrian facilities with drone race track 10. The structure of drone race track 10 is located on the side of pedestrian walkway 101, so that drone 20 flight competitions do not need to occupy open space, while providing more viewing opportunities for drone 20 competitions.

[0030] At the same time, indicator lights show whether the passageway is available, that is, the indicator lights determine whether the current facility is in working condition and whether the current passageway is within the planned route, which facilitates play and management.

[0031] It is understandable that pedestrian walkway 101 can adopt any existing form of walkway structure. Figure 1 The suspended pedestrian walkway 101 in the example is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit this application.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, the pass frame 105 may further include a sensor for sensing whether a drone 20 passes through the pass frame 105.

[0033] The sensor can be any one or more of the following: distance sensors such as laser, infrared, ultrasonic, and millimeter-wave sensors; image sensors such as thermal imaging and cameras; or other sensors that can be replaced by those skilled in the art who understand the disclosure of this application.

[0034] By adding sensors, the interaction between the drone 20 and the track can be enhanced, increasing the fun and competitiveness.

[0035] Based on feedback from the sensor, the indicator light can change its state. In this application, the state of the indicator light can be its color, brightness, or a combination of several indicator lights.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the track column 104 may include a rotary actuator 1041, which is horizontally rotatably mounted on the soundproof baffle 103 via the frame 105. The rotary actuator 1041 is used to control the rotation angle of the frame 105, thereby adjusting the angle between the frame 105 and the pedestrian walkway 101.

[0037] It is understood that in this application, rotary actuator 1041 refers to any structure, device, or equipment capable of performing rotary motion. It may include moving parts and speed-changing structures, which will not be elaborated further in this application. The moving parts may be any of a hydraulic rotary actuator, a pneumatic rotary actuator, or an electric rotary actuator.

[0038] In one embodiment, a combination of a stepper motor and a planetary reducer can be used as the rotary actuator 1041. In another embodiment, a brushless motor can be used alone as the rotary actuator 1041.

[0039] The drone racetrack facility 1 in this application, by setting up a rotating actuator 1041, whose orientation is controllable via the frame 105, can thus be combined with other existing technologies to create more forms of entertainment. Specifically, existing control schemes for the rotating actuator 1041, or other control schemes, can be referenced.

[0040] In one embodiment, the rotary actuator 1041 includes a rotor portion and a stator portion that rotate relative to each other. A portion of the track column 104 is connected to the rotor portion and another portion is connected to the stator portion; the stator portion is fixed to the sound insulation baffle 103.

[0041] The above solution provides a structure that drives the track pillar 104 to rotate, thereby driving the through frame 105 to rotate, so that the angle between the through frame 105 and the pedestrian walkway 101 on the horizontal plane can be adjusted.

[0042] In this regard, this application also provides an electrical connection line for the control part. For example, the drone track 10 may also include an electrical control box, in which a control unit is installed. The control unit is connected to the electric rotary actuator and the passage frame through a signal line, so that the electric rotary actuator and the passage frame can receive signals from the control unit. The control unit can receive feedback signals from the sensor, thereby making the angle of the electric rotary actuator controllable and the status of the indicator light controllable.

[0043] The controllable circuit framework provided in this application can be used by other control methods. The control methods do not affect the solution of this application, and the solution of this application does not need to depend on a specific control method.

[0044] In this application, the drone track facility 1 may include at least two drone tracks 10, with different angles between the pass frame 105 and the pedestrian walkway 101 of the different drone tracks 10.

[0045] By combining drone track 10 as individual units, different units correspond to different angles through frame 105, thus forming different track combinations and increasing the fun of drone 20 flight competitions. One combination result is a drone track facility 1 as shown in the image. Figure 3 As shown, several serial numbers indicate the routes taken by the drone 20. Different drone tracks 10 can use different angled passing frames 105.

[0046] A plan view of the drone track facility 1 obtained by one combination method is shown below. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, due to space limitations, the drone track facility 1 consists of two drone tracks 10. The pedestrian walkways 101 on different individual units are interconnected by architectural structures, thereby connecting the different drone tracks 10 together to form a complete drone track facility 1.

[0047] The specific number of drone tracks 10 included in the drone track facility 1 depends on the actual project needs and the construction requirements of the construction site. This application does not impose specific restrictions on this. Those skilled in the art can make changes according to the actual situation, and all such changes fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0048] Furthermore, the track column 104 containing the rotary actuator 1041 can perform actions at different times. Whether the angle of the frame 105 changes and by how much the angle of the frame 105 changes depends on the actual control scheme. This application provides the structural content of the drone track facility 1, providing a reproducible entertainment facility. The specific control part is not part of the scheme of this application. Existing publicly available control schemes can be adopted, and other schemes can be further adopted. This application does not require comparison and does not affect the implementation of the drone track facility 1 scheme of this application.

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, the drone track 10 may further include a power control box and wires. The power control box is installed below the pedestrian walkway 101 and is used to supply power to the pass frame 105 and the rotary actuator 1041 via wires.

[0050] By combining the power supply of section 10 of the drone track with that of section 101 of the pedestrian walkway through the power control box, different parts of the same facility can be controlled, which facilitates the power supply management of drone track facility 1.

[0051] Meanwhile, the power control box is located at the bottom of the pedestrian walkway 101, which facilitates disassembly, assembly, and maintenance, and provides a stable working environment.

[0052] In one embodiment, for ease of installation and maintenance, the wires can be installed in an exposed manner on the pedestrian walkway 101, the soundproof barrier 103, or the track pillar 104.

[0053] In another embodiment, the track column 104 in this application may have a hollow structure, and the wires are installed inside the hollow structure.

[0054] By setting up a hollow structure, the wires can be hidden in the track pillars 104, improving the aesthetics of the drone track facility 1.

[0055] To enable power supply to the frame 105, in one embodiment, a conductive ring structure can be installed in the track column 104. One end of the conductive ring structure is connected to the stator of the rotary actuator 1041, and the other end is connected to the rotor of the rotary actuator 1041. The conductive ring structure can contain several conductive rings, the number of which depends on the power supply / control requirements of the frame 105 and the rotary actuator 1041. The conductive rings enable unrestricted continuous rotation, reducing the difficulty of controlling the UAV track facility 1 later.

[0056] In another embodiment, for example, the wires installed in the hollow structure may be flexible wires, which allow the frame 105 to rotate at a certain angle without losing conductivity and surface insulation.

[0057] In another embodiment of this application, the drone track facility 1 includes at least two groups, each group including at least one drone track 10; the indicator lights of the drone tracks 10 in different groups are different colors.

[0058] It is understood that the groups in this application are only used to differentiate between the drone tracks 10. In one embodiment, passable drone tracks 10 can be grouped into one group, and impassable drone tracks 10 into another. In yet another embodiment, drone tracks 10 that route 1 needs to pass through can be grouped into one group, and drone tracks 10 that route 2 needs to pass through can be grouped into another.

[0059] The group-based instructions enhanced the fun of the Drone 20 flight competition, while the addition of lighting improved the interaction between players and the facilities.

[0060] In another embodiment of this application, the indicator light may also include a holographic aerial imaging device 106, which is used to project an image within the pass frame 105, the image including at least one of numbers, text or patterns.

[0061] Understandably, the holographic aerial imaging device 106 can form passable images in the air, and can employ devices such as fog screen projection devices, ionized air imaging devices, or other alternatives. A fog screen projection device mainly consists of a fog screen and a projector. A fog screen is generated by an atomizer, and then an image is projected onto the fog screen by the projector. Since the fog screen consists of tiny droplets, it does not affect the drone's passage. An ionized air imaging device mainly uses a picosecond laser to focus a laser beam, using extremely high power to instantaneously ionize the air at the focal point, causing the air to emit bright white light spots. A scanning device then moves these light spots rapidly through space, creating a spatial imaging effect. Relying on air as a medium, the drone can quickly pass through.

[0062] In the above scheme, the installation location of the holographic aerial imaging device 106 is not limited. Since the holographic aerial imaging device 106 can display richer content, exemplarily visible... Figure 5 Therefore, it provides a structural basis for enriching the gameplay of the drone 20. At the same time, the holographic projection device 106 does not affect the passability of the drone 20 and has no negative impact on the flight of the drone 20 itself.

[0063] In another embodiment of this application, the drone track 10 also includes a take-off and landing platform, which is installed on top of the track pillar 104.

[0064] The take-off and landing platform can be installed in place of the pass frame 105 in the drone track 10, or it can be installed together with the pass frame 105 on the top of the track pillar 104. The take-off and landing platform provides a safe take-off and landing position for drone players 20, reducing potential hazards to pedestrians on the pedestrian walkway 101.

[0065] In another embodiment, the drone track 10 may also include a take-off and landing platform, which is installed on top of the track pillar 104 and mounted on the take-off and landing platform via a frame 105.

[0066] By stacking the take-off and landing platform with the passage frame, the functions of take-off, landing and passage can be realized simultaneously in the same pedestrian walkway.

[0067] Based on any embodiment, the frame 105 can be set as any of a polygonal frame, a circular frame, or an irregular frame.

[0068] Several exemplary shapes of the frame 105 are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, this application includes, but is not limited to, [the following]. Figure 6 The shape shown.

[0069] The working process of this application is as follows: The emerging facility of the drone race track 10 is combined with traditional facilities such as the pedestrian walkway 101 using track pillars 104. Passageways 105 for drones 20 to pass through are set on the track pillars 104 to form an integrated entertainment facility combining drone racing and walking. Furthermore, this application also provides structures that enable more gameplay, such as the rotating actuator 1041 mentioned in the above embodiments, and indicator lights containing various structures and devices.

[0070] In summary, this application provides a drone racing track facility 1, including at least one drone track 10. The drone track 10 includes: a pedestrian walkway 101, rest facilities 102, soundproof barriers 103, track pillars 104, and a passage frame 105, with the passage frame 105 including indicator lights. The soundproof barriers 103 are installed on either side of the pedestrian walkway 101; the bottom of the track pillars 104 is connected to the pedestrian walkway 101; the passage frame 105 is installed on the top of the track pillars 104; and the indicator lights are used to indicate the flight of the drones 20. This provides a structural solution that integrates new and old entertainment facilities, reducing the space occupied by drones 20 on traditional entertainment facilities, improving the compatibility of new and old entertainment methods, and potentially increasing people's happiness.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of this application, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
