[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] A platform container for storing and launching drones, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the device includes a lifting platform 2 and a housing 1. The lifting platform 2 includes a top plate 21 and a bottom frame 22. The top plate 21 and the bottom frame 22 are hinged together by a linkage assembly. The movement of the linkage assembly can drive the top plate 21 to rise so that the drone can take off. The top and bottom of the housing 1 are hollow structures. The housing 1 is fitted onto the lifting platform 2. The bottom frame 22 is a rectangular structure, and its front and rear sections are connected to the inner sidewall of the housing 1. The housing 1 includes multiple fixed parts 12 and multiple rotating parts 11. The fixed parts 12 and rotating parts 11 are the same size and are all isosceles triangular structures. The multiple fixed parts 12 are connected to each other by their base corners to form a circular structure. The inner sidewall of the fixed part 12 is connected to the bottom frame 22. Adjacent rotating parts 11 are spaced apart. After the multiple rotating parts 11 are flipped, they can connect to each other at the top of the lifting platform 2. The top forms an umbrella-like structure to protect the drone from falling objects. A pivot 121 is provided between the top of the fixed part 12 and the rotating part 11, and the left and right sides of the bottom of the rotating part 11 rotate along the pivot 121. A flange 122 is provided on the inner edge of the fixed part 12. The flange 122 is used to limit the rotating part 11. In order to avoid interference when the top of the flange 122 interferes with the rotating part 11 when it flips, the height of the flange 122 is less than the height of the edge of the fixed part 12. When the rotating part 11 is not flipped, its edge abuts against the flange 122. A magnetic strip 111 is provided on the edge of the rotating part 11. When the rotating part 11 flips to the top of the lifting platform 2, adjacent rotating parts 11 are attracted to each other through the magnetic strip 111 on their edges. A universal wheel set is provided at the bottom of the bottom frame 22 to facilitate the movement of the housing 1.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] This embodiment further defines the lifting platform 2 based on the above embodiment, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the linkage assembly includes two sets of parallel sliding rods, with a connecting shaft between them. Each sliding rod set includes a first sliding rod 23 and a second sliding rod 24, which are hinged together in an X-shaped cross structure. The connecting shaft is located in the middle of the first sliding rod 23 and the second sliding rod 24 to stabilize the linkage assembly. A set of slide rails is provided on both the top plate 21 and the bottom frame 22, and both the first sliding rod 23 and the second sliding rod 24 are connected to these rails. An electric push rod 25 is provided between the first sliding rod 23 and the second sliding rod 24 in the same set. The two ends of the electric push rod 25 are hinged to the first sliding rod 23 and the second sliding rod 24, respectively. When the electric push rod 25 shortens, it pulls the ends of the first sliding rod 23 and the second sliding rod 24, bringing them closer together and raising the top plate 21 to lift the drone. When the drone needs to be recovered, the electric push rod 25 extends, moving the ends of the first sliding rod 23 and the second sliding rod 24 away from each other, causing the top plate 21 to descend. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship that the utility model product is usually placed in during use. They are only used to facilitate the description of this utility model and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0029] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal" or "vertical" in the description of this utility model does not imply that the component is required to be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly.
