Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a portable UAV protective case. Background Technology
[0002] A drone protective case is a case specifically designed to protect drones and their accessories. It is an indispensable accessory for drone enthusiasts and professional pilots. It not only protects drones from damage during transportation but also improves carrying convenience and safety. The inside of a drone protective case usually has a tray for placing the drone itself and is equipped with support pillars to enhance stability. In addition, to further protect the drone, some high-quality drone protective cases often have excellent protective capabilities, such as being waterproof, dustproof, drop-proof, pressure-resistant, and impact-resistant, to improve their practicality.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model with announcement number CN217320771U discloses a protective storage box for drones, including a storage box body. A box cover is hinged to the upper left end of the storage box body. A lock is provided between the right end of the box cover and the right end of the storage box body. Multiple springs are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box body. The other end of the multiple springs is fixedly connected to a storage box. A motor is installed at the front bottom of the storage box. The output end of the motor passes through the interior of the storage box and is fixedly connected to a screw. The top end of the screw is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the storage box body. A nut is threaded onto the screw. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the nut.
[0004] In existing technologies, the aforementioned devices absorb the impact force through multiple springs when the container body is impacted, thereby protecting the drone. However, certain problems still exist in actual use. These devices rely on springs for shock absorption; upon impact, the springs directly bear the impact force and absorb energy through deformation. While springs have some shock absorption capacity, their effect is relatively limited. Furthermore, the connection between the springs and the drone body is still a hard contact. This hard contact may cause the drone inside the container to experience a large reaction force upon impact, potentially leading to structural damage to the drone and thus presenting certain limitations. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing devices use springs for shock absorption, but the connection between the springs and the drone body is still a hard contact. This hard contact may cause the drone inside the case to be subjected to a large reaction force at the moment of impact when the case collides, thus posing a risk of damage to the drone structure. Therefore, this invention proposes a portable drone protective case.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a portable drone protective case, comprising a case body, an outer fixing box fixedly installed on the outer side of the lower middle part of the case body, an installation groove extending through the case body and the outer fixing box, a bottom airbag fixedly installed in the middle of the installation groove, a partition plate fixedly installed at one end of the outer fixing box, an air pump fixedly installed on one side of the partition plate, the output end of the air pump being connected and fixedly connected to one end of the bottom airbag, a filter screen fixedly installed on one side of the air pump, the filter screen being located at the corner of the outer fixing box, a control button fixedly installed at the upper end of the corner of the outer fixing box, the control button being electrically connected to the air pump, a plurality of side limiting grooves evenly opened around the inner wall of the case body, a connecting pipe fixedly installed in the middle of each of the plurality of side limiting grooves, one end of each of the plurality of side limiting grooves being connected and fixedly connected to the bottom airbag, and side airbags being connected and fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of the middle of one end of each of the plurality of installation grooves.
[0007] Preferably, multiple rubber hoses are evenly fixedly installed at the bottom of the box.
[0008] Preferably, the four corners of the upper end of the box are provided with limit holes, and the upper end of the box is fitted with a cover plate.
[0009] Preferably, limit rods are fixedly installed at the three corners of the lower end of the cover plate, and a fixing nail is threaded to one corner of the lower end of the cover plate. The fixing nail is threaded to one of the limit insertion holes, and the multiple limit rods are inserted into the other three limit insertion holes.
[0010] Preferably, the cover plate has placement slots on both sides of the upper middle part, and a pull rod is rotatably installed on one side of each of the two placement slots.
[0011] Preferably, support plates are fixedly installed at both ends of one side of the lower end of the box, and casters are fixedly installed at both ends of the other side of the lower end of the box.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, by improving the shock absorption method, the drone can be better protected from impact and damage, and has higher practicality. When in use, the drone is placed inside the housing, and then the air pump is started by controlling the button. During the process, the air pump will continuously inflate the bottom airbag and inflate the side airbag through the connecting tube. When both are fully inflated, they can block the drone and limit the drone. The bottom airbag and the side airbag have soft contact with the drone. When impacted, the bottom airbag and the side airbag can absorb and disperse the impact force through the change of gas pressure inside them, so that the drone inside will not be subjected to a large reaction force, thereby significantly reducing the impact on the drone.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, the limiting structure of the support plate at the bottom of the box and the universal wheels can allow the box to be placed well on the ground, and can also shift the box towards the side with the universal wheels, making it draggable, thus making the box more convenient to transport.
[0015] 3. In this utility model, the pull rod above the cover plate can be placed in the middle of the placement groove, thereby reducing the protrusion of the cover plate and making the surface of the cover plate flat, which makes it easier to stack the boxes during the process of transporting large quantities, thus making it more practical.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0024] Example 1, as Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a portable drone protective case, including a case body 1. An outer fixing box 11 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the lower middle part of the case body 1. A mounting groove 12 is formed through the case body 1 and the outer fixing box 11. A bottom airbag 17 is fixedly installed in the middle of the mounting groove 12. A partition plate 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the outer fixing box 11. An air pump 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the partition plate 13. The output end of the air pump 15 is connected and fixedly connected to one end of the bottom airbag 17. One side of the air pump 15 is fixed... A filter screen 14 is installed at the corner of the outer fixing box 11. A control button 16 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the corner of the outer fixing box 11. The control button 16 is electrically connected to the air pump 15. Multiple side limiting grooves 18 are evenly opened around the inner wall of the box 1. A connecting pipe 19 is fixedly installed in the middle of each of the multiple side limiting grooves 18. One end of each of the multiple side limiting grooves 18 is connected and fixed to the bottom airbag 17. A side airbag 20 is connected and fixed above and below the middle of one end of each of the multiple mounting grooves 12.
[0025] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. By improving the shock absorption method, the drone can be better protected from impact and damage, and has higher practicality. When in use, the drone is placed inside the housing 1, and then the air pump 15 is started by controlling button 16. During the process, the air pump 15 will continuously inflate the bottom airbag 17 and inflate the side airbag 20 through the connecting pipe 19. After it expands, it will press against the drone and cooperate with the bottom airbag 17 to limit the drone. The contact between the bottom airbag 17 and the side airbag 20 and the drone is a soft contact. When it is impacted, the bottom airbag 17 and the side airbag 20 can absorb and disperse the impact force through the change of gas pressure inside them, so that the drone inside will not be subjected to a large reaction force, thereby significantly reducing the impact on the drone.
[0026] Example 2, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, multiple rubber hoses 21 are evenly fixedly installed on the bottom of the box 1. Limiting holes 22 are opened at the four corners of the upper end of the box 1. A cover plate 2 is snapped onto the upper end of the box 1. Limiting rods 23 are fixedly installed at the three corners of the lower end of the cover plate 2. A fixing nail 24 is threadedly connected to one corner of the lower end of the cover plate 2. The fixing nail 24 is threadedly connected to one of the limiting holes 22. Multiple limiting rods 23 are inserted into the other three limiting holes 22. Placement grooves 25 are opened on both sides of the middle of the upper end of the cover plate 2. A pull rod 26 is rotatably installed on one side of each of the two placement grooves 25. Support plates 27 are fixedly installed at both ends of one side of the lower end of the box 1. Casters 28 are fixedly installed at both ends of the other side of the lower end of the box 1.
[0027] The overall effect of this embodiment is that, during use, the drone is placed inside the housing 1, and then the air pump 15 is started via the control button 16. During this process, the air pump 15 continuously inflates the bottom airbag 17, and simultaneously inflates the side airbags 20 through the connecting pipe 19. After inflating, the side airbags 17 and 20 work together with the drone to restrain it. The contact between the bottom airbag 17 and the side airbags 20 and the drone is a soft contact. In the event of an impact, the bottom airbag 17 and the side airbags 20 can absorb and disperse the impact force through changes in their internal gas pressure, preventing the internal components from being damaged. The drone is subjected to a large reaction force, which significantly reduces the impact on the drone. At the same time, the limiting structure of the support plate 27 and the universal wheel 28 at the bottom of the box 1 allows the box 1 to be placed well on the ground, and can also be shifted towards the side with the universal wheel 28 to make it draggable, making the box 1 more convenient to transport. In addition, the pull rod 26 above the cover plate 2 can be placed in the middle of the placement slot 25, thereby reducing the protrusion of the cover plate 2 and making the surface of the cover plate 2 flat. This makes it easy to stack the boxes 1 during large-scale transportation, thus making it more practical.
[0028] The device's usage and working principle are as follows: When in use, place the drone inside the housing 1, then start the air pump 15 via control button 16. During operation, the air pump 15 continuously inflates the bottom airbag 17 and simultaneously inflates the side airbags 20 through the connecting pipe 19. Once inflated, these airbags, in conjunction with the bottom airbag 17, restrain the drone. The contact between the bottom airbag 17 and the side airbags 20 and the drone is soft contact. Upon impact, the bottom airbag 17 and the side airbags 20 absorb and disperse the impact force through changes in their internal gas pressure, preventing the drone from experiencing significant reaction force and thus significantly reducing its impact. To reduce the impact on the drone, the cover plate 2 is then aligned with multiple limiting holes 22 and installed. At the same time, the fixing nail 24 is rotated to limit the cover plate 2. The pull rod 26 on the top of the cover plate 2 makes it easy for the user to move the box 1. It can also be placed in the middle of the placement slot 25, thereby reducing the protrusion of the cover plate 2 and making the surface of the cover plate 2 flat. This makes it easy to stack the boxes 1 during the large-scale transportation process. At the same time, the limiting structure of the support plate 27 and the universal wheel 28 at the bottom of the box 1 allows the box 1 to be placed well on the ground. It can also shift the box 1 toward the side with the universal wheel 28, making it draggable and making the box 1 more convenient to transport.
