AI Technical Summary
The motors of the existing drone nest centering structure are exposed on the outside of the landing pad, which increases the size of the nest and the area occupied. In addition, the centering rod is placed above the landing pad, which takes up space and makes it difficult to achieve lightweighting and miniaturization.
By using horizontal and vertical centering motors installed at the bottom of the helipad, combined with synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts, and by setting centering rods on the bottom and surface edges of the helipad, the occupied area is reduced, thus achieving miniaturization and lightweighting of the drone nest.
By reducing the area required for the helipad and the space occupied by the centering pole, the drone nest can be miniaturized and made lighter, providing more space for drone landing and improving practicality.
