Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and specifically relates to an electronic information landing pad for UAVs. Background Technology
[0002] Drones, with their unique overhead view and agile maneuverability, demonstrate significant advantages in logistics delivery and equipment inspection. In the specific scenario of food delivery, dedicated drone landing pads have been established in areas with many businesses. These landing pads integrate take-off, landing, charging, and food loading functions. Meanwhile, several temporary landing pads are also strategically placed within parks for easy food pickup. Merchants' delivery points are located in open areas under comprehensive surveillance by public cameras, offering ample space and eliminating concerns about drone safety during take-off and landing, as well as the need to minimize the size of the landing platforms.
[0003] Similarly, when drones carrying various sensors are deployed for inspection work in large factories, given the vast areas of these factories, which allow for flexible planning and deployment of take-off and landing platforms, the question becomes: how to construct a low-cost, easy-to-maintain, stable, and information-enabled take-off and landing platform becomes a crucial consideration. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple electronic information landing pad for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an electronic information landing pad for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising a ground surface, a fixed take-off and landing platform, and a movable canopy. The take-off and landing platform is marked for identification by UAVs. A solar panel is mounted on the top of the canopy, and a controller is fixed to the inner connecting rod of the canopy. The controller is electrically connected to the solar panel. Rollers are mounted on the bottom of the canopy. After movement, the canopy can be positioned above or away from the take-off and landing platform. The controller is equipped with a mains power plug and a retractable extension cable. A camera, a wind speed sensor, and a temperature sensor are fixed to the outer connecting rod of the canopy near the take-off and landing platform. The camera's image capture direction is towards the take-off and landing platform. The controller is electrically connected to the camera, wind speed sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and barometric pressure sensor.
[0006] As an improvement to the above solution, the take-off and landing platform includes a protective layer on the upper side, several light-emitting units in the middle, and a shock-absorbing layer on the lower side. The protective layer is made of transparent material, and the several light-emitting units form the mark.
[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, the protective layer is made of tempered glass or acrylic, and the shock-absorbing layer is made of rubber or is composed of an array of springs.
[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, a pair of parallel guide rails are provided on the ground, and the rollers at the bottom of the canopy are connected to the guide rails and guided by the guide rails in the direction of movement.
[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, a reducer and a drive motor are provided on the side of the pair of rollers. The controller is electrically connected to the drive motor, and the drive motor drives the rollers to rotate, so that the canopy can move actively.
[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, the three side walls of the shed are provided with rainproof cloth.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] The booming development of the low-altitude economy relies on the strong support of four core sectors: infrastructure, drones, operational services, and flight support. This plan features a unique and meticulously designed infrastructure that is not only simple in structure, significantly reducing construction costs, but also effectively reduces expenses during subsequent operation.
[0013] Faced with complex and ever-changing weather conditions, especially during rainy weather, the canopy and solar panels work together as a protective "barrier" to provide temporary shelter for drones below, protecting them from rain. At the same time, the canopy cleverly integrates solar-assisted power supply, making full use of natural resources and reducing reliance on traditional mains power, further optimizing energy costs. In addition, the take-off and landing platform is equipped with a conspicuous lighting system, which can accurately guide drones to a smooth landing even in deep darkness or dense fog, effectively ensuring the continuity and safety of low-altitude logistics transportation and laying a solid foundation for the stable operation of the low-altitude economy.

[0019] Reference Figure 1This utility model discloses an electronic information landing pad for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including a ground surface 10. A fixed take-off and landing platform 13 and a movable canopy 11 are mounted on the ground surface 10. The take-off and landing platform 13 is equipped with markings for UAV identification. A solar panel 14 is mounted on the top of the canopy 11. A controller 22 is fixed to the inner connecting rod of the canopy 11 and is electrically connected to the solar panel 14. Rollers 21 are mounted on the bottom of the canopy 11. After movement, the canopy 11 can be positioned above or away from the take-off and landing platform 13. The controller 22 is equipped with a mains power plug and a retractable extension cord, which extends or shortens appropriately after the canopy 11 is moved. A camera 31, a wind sensor 32, and a temperature sensor are fixed on the outer connecting rod of the canopy 11 near the take-off and landing platform 13. The camera 31 captures images facing the take-off and landing platform 13. The camera 31 is close to the take-off and landing platform 13 to facilitate observation of the drone's take-off and landing. The controller 22 is electrically connected to the camera 31, the wind sensor 32, the temperature sensor, the humidity sensor, and the air pressure sensor.
[0020] As an improvement to the above solution, the take-off and landing platform 13 includes a protective layer on the upper side, several light-emitting units in the middle, and a shock-absorbing layer on the lower side. The protective layer is made of transparent material, and the light-emitting units constitute the mark. Figure 1 The take-off and landing platform 13 is circular, and the markings are arranged around the circle of the platform 13, while the inner sides form a "V" or "H" shape. In one embodiment, the light-emitting unit is a navigation light. Furthermore, several of the light-emitting units also form "N", "S", "W", and "E" shapes in the four cardinal directions to facilitate UAV positioning.
[0021] As an improvement to the above solution, the protective layer is made of tempered glass or acrylic, and the shock-absorbing layer is made of rubber or is composed of an array of springs. This solution is used to reduce the impact of the drone landing and protect the light-emitting unit.
[0022] As an improvement to the above solution, the ground 10 is provided with a pair of parallel guide rails 12, and the rollers 21 at the bottom of the canopy 11 are connected to the guide rails 12 and guided by the guide rails 12 in the direction of movement.
[0023] As an improvement to the above solution, a reducer 41 and a drive motor 42 are provided on the sides of the pair of rollers 21. The controller 22 is electrically connected to the drive motor 42, and the drive motor 42 drives the rollers 21 to rotate, allowing the canopy 11 to move actively. Figure 1As shown, the guide rail 12 can either protrude from the ground 10 or be grooved into the ground 10, requiring only a corresponding change in the outer contour of the roller 21. In other solutions, the roller 21 is a caster wheel, and the ground 10 is not equipped with a guide rail 12; in this case, the merchant needs to manually pull the canopy 11.
[0024] As an improvement to the above solution, the three side walls of the canopy 11 are provided with rainproof cloth to improve the rainproof effect.
[0025] The booming development of the low-altitude economy relies on the strong support of four core sectors: infrastructure, drones, operational services, and flight support. This plan features a unique and meticulously designed infrastructure that is not only simple in structure, significantly reducing construction costs, but also effectively reduces expenses during subsequent operation.
[0026] Faced with complex and changeable weather conditions, especially during rainy weather, the canopy 11 and solar panels 14 work together as a protective top "barrier," providing temporary shelter for the drones below and protecting them from rain. At the same time, the canopy 11 cleverly integrates solar-assisted power supply, making full use of natural resources and reducing reliance on traditional mains power, further optimizing energy costs. In addition, the take-off and landing platform 13 is equipped with a conspicuous lighting system, which can accurately guide drones to a smooth landing even in deep darkness or dense fog, effectively ensuring the continuity and safety of low-altitude logistics transportation and laying a solid foundation for the stable operation of the low-altitude economy.
