Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of engineering equipment technology, and more specifically, to a box-type connection mechanism and connection component. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, drone technology has been widely used in security, logistics, inspection, and emergency rescue. Especially in security monitoring, drones, with their high mobility, wide coverage, and outstanding real-time monitoring capabilities, have gradually become an important component of intelligent security systems. However, with the increasing frequency of drone missions, the demands for storage, charging, maintenance, and rapid dispatch are growing, and traditional storage methods are struggling to meet the needs of efficient and intelligent drone management. Drone security hangars are gradually evolving into an intelligent storage and management system.

[0003] However, numerous challenges remain in the docking and retrieval of drone storage containers within related technologies. For instance, traditional hangars employ single-layer or fixed-layer storage methods, resulting in low space utilization and an inability to meet the high-density, multi-layered drone storage requirements. Furthermore, existing retrieval methods typically rely on robotic arms or sliding rail systems, which are complex in structure and slow in response, making it difficult to meet the demands of rapid drone deployment. During the docking process, drones are prone to docking failures and increased retrieval / placement errors, impacting mission efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a box connection mechanism and connection assembly, which can support the box through a support frame, and then extend or extend into different support chambers from different heights and directions through the connection unit to retrieve the box placed at different heights. It has the advantages of simple structure and fast response speed.

[0005] The embodiments of this application are implemented as follows:

[0006] This application provides a box-type connection mechanism, including:

[0007] A support frame includes a frame body and support units. The support units can divide the frame body into multiple support chambers arranged at intervals along the height direction. Each of the support chambers is used to house a box.

[0008] The connecting unit includes a lifting module and a telescopic module. The telescopic module is arranged on the lifting module and can extend and retract in the horizontal direction to enter or extend into the bearing chamber. The lifting module can move in the height direction to drive the telescopic module and make it correspond to different bearing chambers.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the lifting module includes a base plate, a first servo motor, a first lead screw, a scissor lift linkage and a scissor lift platform. The first servo motor and the first lead screw are both arranged on the base plate, and the first servo motor is connected to the first lead screw. One side of the scissor lift linkage is sleeved on the first lead screw, and the other side is connected to the scissor lift platform.

[0010] Specifically, by rotating the first lead screw, the scissor lift linkage can drive the scissor lift platform to move along the height direction.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the telescopic module includes a cargo box support plate, a second servo motor, a second lead screw, and a sliding plate. The second servo motor and the second lead screw are both arranged on the scissor lift platform and are connected to each other. The sliding plate is sleeved on the second lead screw, and the cargo box support plate is installed on the sliding plate.

[0012] The sliding plate can drive the cargo box bearing plate to move in the horizontal direction by rotating the second lead screw.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the cargo box bearing plate includes a plate body and a limiting wing plate. The plate body is a plate-shaped structure with through holes, and a receiving groove is provided on the side of the plate body. The limiting wing plate is installed in the receiving groove, and the extending direction of the limiting wing plate intersects with the plane of the plate body.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the plate includes a body portion and an extension portion. The width segment of the body portion is provided with the receiving groove. There are multiple extension portions, and the multiple extension portions extend outward along the length segment of the body portion. At least two extension portions are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the body portion, and each extension portion is provided with the receiving groove.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting wing plate includes a support portion, a limiting portion, and a wing portion connected in sequence. The connection between the support portion and the limiting portion, and the connection between the limiting portion and the wing portion, are all rounded. The support portion is installed in the receiving groove. The limiting portion and the support portion are perpendicular to each other. The wing portion extends outward along the side of the limiting portion away from the support portion, and the extending direction of the wing portion intersects with the plane of the plate body.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the bearing unit includes multiple positioning plates, all of which are arranged on the inner circumferential side of the frame, and each positioning plate includes a connecting part and a positioning part that are perpendicular to each other.

[0018] As mentioned above, the box-connecting mechanism;

[0019] The housing is arranged within the load-bearing cavity;

[0020] A rope puller is connected to the housing and is used to connect the drone.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, a fixing block is also included, which is fixedly connected to the housing, and the pull rope is embedded between the two fixing blocks.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the housing includes a square tube frame and a cover plate, the cover plate is disposed on the square tube frame, and the cover plate has an installation groove for accommodating the pull rope device.

[0023] The container docking mechanism and docking components provided in this application embodiment achieve precise docking and efficient access to UAV storage containers through the coordinated operation of a lifting module and a telescopic module, meeting the needs of automated container management in UAV security hangars. Specifically, when performing container access tasks, the scissor lift platform in the lifting module moves vertically to align with the bearing chamber of the target storage layer, achieving initial positioning. Subsequently, the telescopic module extends and retracts horizontally, allowing the container bearing plate to extend into or out of the bearing chamber, completing the precise docking and access of the container. Since the movement directions of the lifting module and the telescopic module are perpendicular to each other, this design provides a stable and efficient access method, improving the response speed and storage density of the UAV storage system. Furthermore, the docking components provided in this application embodiment, through the cooperation of a fixing block and a pull rope, enable the container to reliably dock with the UAV, ensuring stable mounting or release of external equipment during task execution. For example, when the UAV needs to mount a container, the pull rope matches with the UAV to achieve initial connection; subsequently, the constraint of the fixing block ensures that the container remains stable during flight, unaffected by external interference.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0037] The container docking mechanism 100 provided in this application embodiment can be applied to engineering applications such as UAV assembly or machining. Especially in the UAV assembly process, it can move vertically via the scissor lift platform 115 in the lifting module to align it with the bearing chamber 103 of the target storage layer, achieving initial positioning. Subsequently, the telescopic module extends and retracts horizontally, allowing the cargo container bearing plate 116 to extend into or retract from the bearing chamber 103, completing the precise docking and retrieval of the container.

[0038] The following is a detailed description of the box-connecting mechanism 100.

[0039] Figure 1 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the box connection mechanism 100 provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a second schematic diagram of the structure of the box connection mechanism 100 provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cargo box support plate 116 provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a limiting wing plate 1162 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figures 1-4 As shown, the container docking mechanism 100 may include a support frame and docking units. The support frame includes a frame body 101 and support units. The support units can divide the frame body 101 into multiple layers of support chambers 103 arranged at intervals along the height direction. Each support chamber 103 is used to house the container. The docking unit includes a lifting module and a telescopic module. The telescopic module is arranged on the lifting module and can be connected along the horizontal direction (e.g., ...). Figure 2 The lifting module can extend or retract in the direction shown to enter or extend into the bearing chamber 103, and can move along the height direction (e.g., as shown). Figure 2 The telescopic module moves in the direction shown to correspond with the different load-bearing chambers 103.

[0040] It is worth noting that the box connection mechanism 100 can support the box through the support frame, and then extend or extend into different support chambers 103 from different heights and directions through the connection unit to extract the box placed at different heights. It has the advantages of simple structure and fast response speed.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lifting module includes a base plate 111, a first servo motor 112, a first lead screw 113, a scissor lift linkage 114, and a scissor lift platform 115. The first servo motor 112 and the first lead screw 113 are both arranged on the base plate 111, and the first servo motor 112 is connected to the first lead screw 113. One side of the scissor lift linkage 114 is sleeved on the first lead screw 113, and the other side is connected to the scissor lift platform 115. Through the rotation of the first lead screw 113, the scissor lift linkage 114 can drive the scissor lift platform 115 to move along the height direction.

[0042] It is worth noting that the scissor lift linkage 114 structure can provide significant support, ensuring the stability of the scissor lift platform 115 during lifting and lowering, preventing swaying, and improving the accuracy of cabinet storage and retrieval. Simultaneously, the scissor mechanism possesses excellent load-bearing capacity, capable of stably supporting heavy cabinets, making it suitable for multi-layer storage systems and improving space utilization. Furthermore, the first lead screw 113, driven by a servo motor, achieves precise displacement control, enabling the scissor lift platform 115 to accurately engage storage layers of different heights, reducing errors and improving the reliability of cabinet retrieval and placement.

[0043] Please refer to this again. Figure 2The telescopic module includes a cargo box support plate 116, a second servo motor 117, a second lead screw 118, and a sliding plate 119. The second servo motor 117 and the second lead screw 118 are both arranged on the scissor lift platform 115 and are connected to each other. The sliding plate 119 is sleeved on the second lead screw 118, and the cargo box support plate 116 is installed on the sliding plate 119. The sliding plate 119 can drive the cargo box support plate 116 to move horizontally by rotating the second lead screw 118.

[0044] It should be understood that the scissor lift platform 115 moves vertically to align the cargo container support plate 116 with the target storage layer, ensuring vertical adaptability to different levels of container storage. The sliding plate 119 moves horizontally, allowing the cargo container support plate 116 to push or pull out the storage container, enabling storage and retrieval operations. By controlling the lifting and telescopic movements separately, each action can be optimized independently without mutual interference, reducing system errors and improving docking accuracy.

[0045] Optionally, the cargo box bearing plate 116 includes a plate body 1161 and a limiting wing plate 1162. The plate body 1161 is a plate-shaped structure with through holes 1163, and a receiving groove 1164 is provided on the side of the plate body 1161. The limiting wing plate 1162 is installed in the receiving groove 1164, and the extending direction of the limiting wing plate 1162 intersects with the plane of the plate body 1161.

[0046] Specifically, the limiting wing plate 1162 serves as a lateral limiting element, preventing the container from sliding or shifting during horizontal movement and improving the stability of the container loading and unloading process. The angle design of the limiting wing plate 1162 provides multi-directional clamping force, keeping the container stable on the support plate and preventing tilting during transportation or storage. Furthermore, the through-hole structure 1163 of the plate 1161 reduces the weight of the support plate while ensuring strength, reducing the load on the servo motor and lead screw, and improving system operating efficiency. The lightweight design reduces energy consumption, improving the overall energy efficiency ratio of the UAV security hangar.

[0047] In this embodiment, the plate 1161 includes a main body 1165 and an extension 1166. The width section of the main body 1165 is provided with a receiving groove 1164. There are multiple extensions 1166, and the multiple extensions 1166 extend outward along the length section of the main body 1165. At least two extensions 1166 are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the main body 1165. Each extension 1166 is provided with a receiving groove 1164.

[0048] It is worth noting that the symmetrically arranged extensions 1166 provide a wider support surface, making the enclosure more stable on the support plate and preventing tilting or swaying caused by insufficient local support. Furthermore, through the design of multiple extensions 1166, the support plate can adapt to enclosures of different sizes without replacing the overall structure, improving versatility and compatibility. The optimized distribution of the extensions 1166 makes the stress distribution more even, improving the overall stability of the system.

[0049] In this embodiment, the limiting wing plate 1162 includes a support portion 11621, a limiting portion 11622, and a wing portion 11623 connected in sequence. The connection between the support portion 11621 and the limiting portion 11622, and the connection between the limiting portion 11622 and the wing portion 11623, are all rounded. The support portion 11621 is installed in the receiving groove 1164. The limiting portion 11622 and the support portion 11621 are perpendicular to each other. The wing portion 11623 extends outward along the side of the limiting portion 11622 away from the support portion 11621, and the extension direction of the wing portion 11623 intersects the plane of the plate body 1161.

[0050] In this embodiment, the bearing unit includes multiple positioning plates 102, all of which are arranged on the inner circumferential side of the frame 101, and each positioning plate 102 includes a connecting part and a positioning part that are perpendicular to each other.

[0051] This application embodiment also provides a connecting assembly, including the aforementioned housing connecting mechanism 100, housing, and rope puller 21. The housing is arranged within the bearing chamber 103; the rope puller 21 is connected to the housing and is used to connect a drone.

[0052] In this embodiment, a fixing block 22 is also included, which is fixedly connected to the box body, and the pull rope 21 is embedded between the two fixing blocks 22.

[0053] In this embodiment, the box includes a square tube frame 201 and a cover plate 202. The cover plate 202 covers the square tube frame 201, and the cover plate 202 has an installation groove for accommodating the pull rope device 21.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application are included within the scope of protection of this application.
