Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Detailed description follows.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a signal booster for use on a drone, comprising a main body 1, a power module, a signal receiving module 2, a signal transmitting module 3, and a signal processing module 4, as well as an installation structure. The installation structure is installed on the lower wall of the main body 1, the power module is installed on the upper wall of the main body 1, the signal transmitting module 3 is installed on the outer wall of the main body 1, the signal receiving module 2 is installed on the upper wall of the main body 1, and the signal processing module 4 is installed on the upper wall of the main body 1. The power module is used to supply power to the signal transmitting module 3 and the signal processing module 4.

[0018] In this embodiment, the installation structure includes a pair of clamping clips 5, a dual-axis motor 6 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1, and threaded rods 7 are fixedly installed on the drive ends of the dual-axis motor 6 respectively. The pair of clamping clips 5 are slidably installed inside the main body 1, and threaded holes are opened in the pair of clamping clips 5. The pair of clamping clips 5 are respectively threadedly connected to the threaded rods 7 through the threaded holes.

[0019] In this embodiment, a guide rail 8 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1, and a bushing 9 is fixedly installed on a pair of clamping clips 5. The bushing 9 is slidably fitted onto the guide rail 8.

[0020] In this embodiment, the signal receiving module 2 is further configured as a high-sensitivity omnidirectional antenna, used to receive signals transmitted from the drone and the signal base station.

[0021] In this embodiment, the signal transmitting module 3 is further configured to transmit signals to other drones and signal base stations.

[0022] In this embodiment, the signal processing module 4 is further configured to include an automatic gain control circuit and an anti-interference filtering unit. The input terminal of the signal processing module 4 is connected to the signal receiving module 2, and the output terminal of the signal processing module 4 is connected to the signal transmitting module 3. The output terminal of the signal processing module 4 is connected to a UAV signal terminal 10, which is connected to the UAV antenna structure to gain the UAV signal.

[0023] In this embodiment, the power module includes a rechargeable battery 11 and a solar cover 12. The rechargeable battery 11 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the main body 1, and the solar cover 12 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the main body 1. The solar cover 12 has a semi-flat spherical structure and a solar power generation film is provided on the solar cover 12. The input terminal of the rechargeable battery is connected to the solar cover 12. The rechargeable battery 11 is used for auxiliary power supply of the signal enhancer and the drone.

[0024] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field; such as Figure 1 As shown, check the status of the signal booster to ensure the device is not damaged and confirm that each module (e.g., signal receiving module 2, signal transmitting module 3, power supply module, etc.) is functioning normally. Verify that the rechargeable battery 11 inside the booster is fully charged. If using solar power, ensure that the solar cover 12 is clean and free of dust to ensure proper power generation.

[0025] Adjust the clamping clip 5 on the signal booster using the threaded rod 7 driven by the dual-axis motor 6, opening the clamping clip 5 to the appropriate width. Align the bottom of the signal booster main body 1 with the drone's mounting location (e.g., chassis or arm), and then clamp the drone structure using the clamping clip 5. Ensure that the clamping clip 5 and guide rail 8 are properly engaged without misalignment, keeping the device level and securely installed. Check the stability of the clamping clip 5 and the drone installation to prevent loosening. The sliding bushing 9 and guide rail 8 should operate smoothly and fit tightly.

[0026] Check that the interface connection between the power module and the drone's main power supply system is secure. If not connected, the built-in rechargeable battery 11 of the signal booster can be used for power supply. If necessary, ensure good sunlight conditions on the surface of the solar cover 12 to enable the solar film to provide auxiliary power. After starting the device, check the power indicator or battery level display of the signal booster to confirm that the power supply is normal.

[0027] Check that signal receiving module 2 (high-sensitivity omnidirectional antenna) is in a normal operating position. The omnidirectional antenna should be unobstructed to receive signals transmitted from the signal base station. Start signal processing module 4 and confirm that the automatic gain control circuit and anti-interference filtering unit are functioning correctly.

[0028] Perform functional tests on the signal booster using test equipment (such as a remote controller or signal base station). Confirm that the booster can stably receive and forward signals and communicate normally with the UAV control module or other devices. Control the UAV in flight to test whether the signal booster maintains communication stability over extended distances and in complex environments.

[0029] If inter-drone networking communication is required, the signal transmission module 3 of the enhancer will be activated. Ensure the enhancer accurately transmits signals to other drones via the transmission module to complete the network setup. Test the data transmission effect (e.g., video, images) after networking to ensure uninterrupted multi-node communication.

[0030] According to the flight mission plan, drones carrying signal boosters can complete tasks over a wider range, such as agricultural plant protection, topographic mapping, and forest patrol. During mission execution, the status of the signal booster is continuously monitored. Signal strength can be observed through the drone's control terminal.

[0031] Before shutting down the drone, turn off the signal booster and disconnect its power. Use the dual-axis motor 6 to release the clamp 5 and remove the signal booster from the drone. Inspect the equipment for any damage during flight, especially the antenna and solar panel 12. Clean off any excess dust or dirt to prepare it for next use.

[0032] Ensure the signal booster's weight is compatible with the drone's maximum load capacity to avoid affecting its flight performance. In environments with high interference or complex conditions, prioritize testing the anti-interference filtering function to ensure the signal processing module 4 operates normally. When using solar power, avoid prolonged reliance on the solar cover 12 in cloudy or low-light conditions. Handle the equipment carefully during installation to prevent damage to sensitive components such as the clamps 5 and antenna.
