Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) take-off platform technology, specifically a UAV take-off platform. Background Technology

[0002] Drone launch platforms are typically built on the ground or on buildings, with a fixed structure and location. Such platforms can provide a stable surface for drone takeoff and landing.

[0003] The patent document with patent publication number CN218559205U describes a drone take-off platform. By designing a dual-purpose (land and water) drone take-off platform consisting of a base frame, take-off plate, electric push rod, air pump, first air bag, second air bag, and GPS positioning chip, it is easy to carry and use, which is conducive to users taking off and landing rotary-wing drones flexibly on land and water, increasing operational flexibility.

[0004] However, the aforementioned takeoff platform lacks lift functionality. On a platform without lift capability, the takeoff and landing process for drones can be more complex. Operators need to control the drone's altitude and position more precisely; even slight errors could lead to collisions or loss of control, increasing the risk of flight accidents.

[0005] Based on this, a drone takeoff platform is now provided that can eliminate the drawbacks of existing platforms. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drone take-off platform to solve the problem in the background art where the aforementioned platforms lack lift functionality, leading to easy collisions or loss of control during drone take-off and landing, and increasing the risk of flight accidents.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A drone takeoff platform includes a base plate, with columns fixed at the four corners of the upper part of the base plate. The outer walls of the four columns are slidably connected to a sliding platform. A lifting assembly is installed in the middle of the upper part of the base plate, and the lifting assembly is connected to the columns.

[0009] The lifting assembly includes a worm gear rotatably mounted on the upper middle part of the base plate and a motor mounted on the lower middle part of the base plate. The output end of the motor extends to the upper middle part of the base plate and is fixedly connected to the worm gear. Fixed seats are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the worm gear. The two fixed seats are fixed to the upper middle part of the base plate. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat. A worm wheel is rotatably mounted inside the fixed seat. The worm wheel meshes with the worm gear and is fixed to the rotating rod. Sleeves are fixed at both ends of the rotating rod. A first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve. The first connecting rod is hinged to a second connecting rod through a first rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the sliding platform is provided with a clamping assembly, which includes two fixed plates fixed to the lower end of the sliding platform. A lead screw is rotatably installed between the two fixed plates. A second motor is installed on one of the fixed plates. The output end of the second motor extends to the space between the two fixed plates and is fixedly connected to the lead screw. A sliding rod is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. The outer wall of the sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of a first sliding groove. The first sliding groove is formed through the sliding platform. The position of the first sliding groove corresponds to the position of the lead screw. The first sliding groove is fixed to the fixed rod. The fixed rod rotates with the lead screw. Connectors are provided at the top of the opposite ends of the sliding rod and the fixed rod. Clamping plates are provided at the opposite ends of the two connecting plates. Rubber plates are provided at the clamping ends of the two clamping plates.

[0011] Preferably, a protective component is installed on the upper end of the sliding platform. The protective component includes a protective box installed on the upper end of the sliding platform, and a cover plate is hinged to the upper end of the protective box via a second pivot.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the column is connected to the limiting collar, and the limiting collar is located above the sliding platform.

[0013] Preferably, casters are installed at all four corners of the lower end of the base plate.

[0014] Preferably, the upper end of the base plate has second sliding grooves on both sides near the first connecting rod. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a lifting assembly in conjunction with casters. The casters can adjust the position of the platform. The lifting assembly can drive the worm gear to rotate via a first motor. The worm gear drives the worm wheels on both sides to rotate. The worm wheels drive the rotating rod to rotate within the fixed seat. The rotating rod drives the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move, thereby causing the sliding platform to slide and rise on the column, adjusting the height of the sliding platform to facilitate the take-off and landing of the UAV and reduce the risk of flight accidents.

[0016] 2. This utility model combines a clamping component and a protective component. The clamping component can clamp the drone before it takes off, preventing the drone from falling off the sliding platform due to other external factors. The protective component can prevent the drone from being impacted by external forces, thereby improving its safety. Attached Figure Description
