Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted UAV airport. Background Technology

[0002] For long-distance flights, it is not practical to return the drone to its home location. Usually, a person in a car accompanies the drone during takeoff and landing, and to recharge it to improve its battery life.

[0003] For example, patent publication number CN219192595U discloses a vehicle-mounted airport for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including a housing. Covers are movably mounted on the top of both ends of the housing via a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes a servo motor. Vertical springs are symmetrically fixed on both sides inside the housing, and landing plates are fixedly mounted on the top of the vertical springs. The servo motor drives a rotating shaft and a mounting plate, causing the mounting plate to rotate the cover plates to both sides. Simultaneously, the mounting plate presses the landing plates upwards via a pressing plate, which in turn moves the UAV upwards, facilitating takeoff. When the servo motor drives the cover plates to rotate in the opposite direction and cover the top of the housing via the rotating shaft and mounting plate, the landing plates, under the tension of the vertical springs, can pull the UAV into the housing, facilitating storage and preventing damage in rainy or snowy weather. When the landing plates descend, they can press a limiting plate via the vertical plate, which locks the UAV inside the landing gear, thus securing it for easy use.

[0004] Based on the above search and analysis of existing technologies, it has been found that existing vehicle-mounted UAV airports similar to those disclosed above use an elastic support structure (vertical spring) to support the landing plate and the UAV. When severe bumps occur during vehicle movement, the landing plate will cause the UAV to move up and down due to the impact. When the landing plate moves upwards along with the limiting plate, the limiting plate, losing its vertical restraint function, will release the UAV's landing gear under the action of the horizontal spring. At this point, the UAV loses its anchoring function and is susceptible to damage from impacts. Therefore, a vehicle-mounted UAV airport is proposed to improve upon these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airport to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airport, comprising a housing and two cover plates, wherein the two cover plates are symmetrically hinged to opposite sides of the housing;

[0007] The inner side of the box is provided with a lifting plate, and an electric push rod is vertically installed at the bottom of the box. The top output end of the electric push rod is fixed to the lifting plate. Slanted frames are fixed on both sides of the lifting plate near the cover plate. A limiting round shaft is horizontally fixed at the lower end of the cover plate, and the slanted frames are sleeved on the outside of the limiting round shaft.

[0008] A clamping mechanism is installed at the bottom inner end of the box, and a through hole is provided on the lifting plate for the clamping mechanism to pass through.

[0009] As a further supplement to this solution, the clamping mechanism includes two sets of clamping components arranged symmetrically about the center of the landing plate, and the clamping components include clamping plates and elastic frames;

[0010] A support plate is vertically fixed to the inner bottom of the housing. The elastic frame is installed on the support plate. The clamping plate is installed on the upper end of the elastic frame. A wedge block adapted to the elastic frame is fixed to the bottom end of the lifting plate. The through hole allows the clamping plate to pass through.

[0011] As a further supplement to this solution, the elastic frame includes a push plate, a first elastic connector, and a second elastic connector;

[0012] The push plate is connected to the support plate through the second elastic connector, and the push plate is connected to the clamping plate through the first elastic connector. The side end of the push plate is provided with an inclined surface that slides and fits against the wedge block.

[0013] As a further supplement to this solution, the first elastic connector includes a compression spring and a limiting slide rod. The lower end of the clamping plate is fixed with a limiting plate. The width of the limiting plate is greater than the width of the through hole. The upper end of the limiting slide rod is fixed to the lower end face of the limiting plate. The lower end of the limiting slide rod slides vertically through the push plate. The compression spring is fixed between the limiting plate and the push plate.

[0014] As a further supplement to this solution, the second elastic connector includes a second compression spring and a second limiting slide rod. One end of the second compression spring is fixed to the support plate, and the other end of the second compression spring is horizontally slidably sleeved on the inner side of the push plate. The second limiting slide rod is fixed between the push plate and the support plate.

[0015] As a further supplement to this solution, an observation window is provided on the side of the enclosure.

[0016] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, by cooperating with the inclined frame and the limiting round shaft, when the electric push rod drives the landing plate to move upward, the landing plate moves upward with the inclined frame. The sliding limiting effect of the inclined frame and the limiting round shaft allows the two cover plates to open outward synchronously. At this time, the drone can land on the landing plate. After landing, the electric push rod drives the landing plate to move downward, and the landing plate moves downward with the inclined frame. The sliding limiting effect of the inclined frame and the limiting round shaft allows the two cover plates to close inward synchronously, which can prevent the landing plate from shifting. With the help of the clamping plate, the push plate and the wedge, the drone can be firmly fixed on the landing plate and will not be dislodged from the landing plate due to bumps.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, through the coordinated arrangement of the clamping plate, push plate and wedge, during the downward movement of the landing plate, the clamping plate first penetrates the through hole from bottom to top. As the landing plate continues to move downward, the landing plate presses down on the limiting plate, causing the limiting plate to move downward synchronously with the landing plate along with the landing plate. At the same time, the push plate is squeezed by the wedge and moves the clamping plate toward the landing gear of the drone until the two clamping plates clamp and fix the landing gear of the drone together. Since the clamping mechanism is set at the bottom of the housing rather than directly on the landing plate, it can keep the upper surface of the landing plate flat before the drone lands, and will not obstruct the landing of the drone, thus facilitating the accurate landing of the drone.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example: Reference Figure 1-5 The vehicle-mounted drone airport shown includes a housing 1 and two cover plates 2, which are symmetrically hinged to opposite sides of the housing 1.

[0028] The inner side of the housing 1 is provided with a lifting plate 3, and an electric push rod 4 is vertically installed at the bottom of the inner side of the housing 1. The top output end of the electric push rod 4 is fixed to the lifting plate 3. The lifting plate 3 is fixed with inclined frames 5 on both sides near the cover plate 2. The lower end of the cover plate 2 is horizontally fixed with a limiting round shaft 6, and the inclined frames 5 are sleeved on the outside of the limiting round shaft 6.

[0029] Based on the above structural arrangement, when the electric push rod 4 drives the lifting plate 3 to move upward, the lifting plate 3 moves upward along with the inclined frame 5. The sliding limiting action between the inclined frame 5 and the limiting shaft 6 causes the two cover plates 2 to simultaneously unfold outward to the desired position. Figure 3 As shown, the drone can land on the landing plate 3. After landing, the electric push rod 4 drives the landing plate 3 to move downwards. The landing plate 3, along with the inclined frame 5, moves downwards. The sliding limit action between the inclined frame 5 and the limiting shaft 6 causes the two cover plates 2 to simultaneously close inwards until they are closed as shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The state shown.

[0030] The box body 1 has a clamping mechanism installed at its inner bottom end. The lifting plate 3 has a through hole 301 for the clamping mechanism to pass through. Specifically, the clamping mechanism includes two sets of clamping components arranged symmetrically about the center of the lifting plate 3. The clamping components include a clamping plate 9 and an elastic frame. The through hole 301 allows the clamping plate 9 to pass through. More specifically, a support plate 7 is vertically fixed at the inner bottom end of the box body 1. The elastic frame includes a push plate 8, a first elastic connector and a second elastic connector. The side end of the push plate 8 is provided with an inclined surface that slides and fits against the wedge block 16.

[0031] The first elastic connector includes a compression spring 11 and a limiting slide rod 12. The lower end of the clamping plate 9 is fixed with a limiting plate 10. The width of the limiting plate 10 is greater than the width of the through hole 301. The upper end of the limiting slide rod 12 is fixed to the lower end face of the limiting plate 10. The lower end of the limiting slide rod 12 slides vertically through the push plate 8. The compression spring 11 is fixed between the limiting plate 10 and the push plate 8. Similarly, the second elastic connector includes a compression spring 23 and a limiting slide rod 24. One end of the compression spring 23 is fixed to the support plate 7. The other end of the compression spring 23 slides horizontally on the inner side of the push plate 8. The limiting slide rod 24 is fixed between the push plate 8 and the support plate 7.

[0032] Based on the above structural arrangement, during the downward movement of the landing plate 3, the clamping plate 9 first penetrates the through hole 301 from bottom to top. As the landing plate 3 continues to move downward, the landing plate 3 presses down on the limiting plate 10, causing the limiting plate 10 to move downward synchronously with the landing plate 3 along with the clamping plate 9. At the same time, the push plate 8 is squeezed by the wedge block 16 and moves the clamping plate 9 toward the landing gear of the UAV until the two clamping plates 9 clamp and fix the landing gear of the UAV together.

[0033] It should be further explained that when the cover plate 2 is fully closed, the compression spring 11 is in a nearly fully compressed state. When subjected to bumps, it will not deform further and cause the drone to lose the clamping effect of the clamping plate 9. Furthermore, the upper end of the clamping plate 9 is provided with a bending part, which can further prevent the drone's landing gear from detaching from the clamping plate 9.

[0034] In addition, since the clamping mechanism is located at the bottom of the housing 1, rather than directly on the landing plate 3, it can keep the upper surface of the landing plate 3 flat before the drone lands, and will not obstruct the drone's landing, thus facilitating the drone's accurate landing.

[0035] To facilitate external inspection of whether drones are parked inside container 1, an observation window 15 is provided on the side of container 1.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The housing 1 is fixed to the top of the vehicle using screws or other fixing structures. When the electric push rod 4 drives the lifting plate 3 to move upward, the lifting plate 3 moves upward along with the inclined frame 5. The sliding limit action between the inclined frame 5 and the limiting shaft 6 causes the two cover plates 2 to simultaneously unfold outward to the desired position. Figure 3 As shown, the drone can land on the landing plate 3. After landing, the electric push rod 4 drives the landing plate 3 to move downwards. The landing plate 3, along with the inclined frame 5, moves downwards. The sliding limit action between the inclined frame 5 and the limiting shaft 6 causes the two cover plates 2 to simultaneously close inwards until they are closed as shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, during the downward movement of the landing plate 3, the clamping plate 9 first penetrates the through hole 301 from bottom to top. As the landing plate 3 continues to move downward, the landing plate 3 presses down on the limiting plate 10, causing the limiting plate 10 to move downward synchronously with the landing plate 3 along with the clamping plate 9. At the same time, the push plate 8 is squeezed by the wedge block 16 and moves the clamping plate 9 toward the landing gear of the UAV until the two clamping plates 9 clamp and fix the landing gear of the UAV together.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
