[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that in the prior art, the bottom of the drone is usually equipped with a shock-absorbing bracket, and the centering positioning mechanism used in the above-mentioned technical solution cannot position the drone equipped with the shock-absorbing bracket, thus limiting its applicability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a drone positioning and information collection device, comprising a main body, with supports fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the main body, a parking area formed on the upper surface of the main body, a horizontal positioning mechanism installed at one end of the inner wall of the parking area, a vertical positioning mechanism installed at one end of the inner sidewall of the parking area, a protective mechanism installed on the outer surface of the main body, and a quick-release ventilation mechanism installed on the protective mechanism. The horizontal positioning mechanism includes a second motor fixedly installed on the inner wall of the parking area, and a second lead screw driven at the output end of the second motor. A first positioning rod is symmetrically driven on the surface of the lead screw. A first mounting groove is opened on the other side of the inner wall of the parking area. A first guide rod is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the first mounting groove, and the first positioning rod is slidably connected to the first guide rod. The vertical positioning mechanism includes a third motor fixedly installed on the inner wall of the parking area. A third lead screw is driven at the output end of the third motor. A second positioning rod is symmetrically driven on the surface of the third lead screw. A second mounting belt is opened on the other side of the inner wall of the parking area. A second guide rod is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the second mounting belt, and the second guide rod is slidably connected to the second positioning rod.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the protective mechanism includes a movable groove, which is symmetrically opened on both sides of the outer surface of the main body. A first lead screw is driven in the inner cavity of the movable groove, and a first motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the main body. The output end of the first motor is drivenly connected to one end of the first lead screw.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the first lead screw is symmetrically provided with a moving block, and the moving block is slidably connected to the moving groove. A protective shell is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the moving block.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting electric push rod is fixedly installed at the center of the lower surface of the main body, and a charging module is driven at the output end of the limiting electric push rod. In the initial state, the charging module is in a horizontal position with the inner bottom wall of the parking area.

[0010] In one preferred embodiment, the quick-release ventilation mechanism includes a filter screen, which is symmetrically fitted onto the outer surface of the protective shell, and mounting cavities are symmetrically opened at both ends of the inner cavity of the protective shell.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a movable rod is movably disposed inside the mounting cavity, and a push-pull plate is fixedly disposed at the outer end of the movable rod.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a movable plate is fixedly disposed on the surface of the movable rod at the inner cavity position of the mounting cavity, and a return spring is elastically disposed between one side of the movable plate and the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention, by setting up a horizontal positioning mechanism and a vertical positioning mechanism, activates the second and third motors when the drone is parked in the parking area. The second motor drives the second lead screw to rotate, and the second lead screw drives the first positioning rod to move along the first mounting groove and the first guide rod to move towards each other to perform horizontal positioning of the drone's bottom bracket. The output end of the third motor drives the third lead screw to rotate, and the third lead screw drives the second positioning rod to move along the second mounting belt and the second guide rod to move towards each other to perform vertical positioning of the drone's bottom bracket. This makes the charging induction area on the bottom of the drone correspond to the charging module, facilitating subsequent charging and improving the practicality of the device.

[0015] This invention features a protective mechanism. After the drone is parked and positioned, the first motor is activated. The output of the first motor drives the first lead screw to rotate. The first lead screw drives the moving block to move towards each other along the moving groove. The moving block drives the protective shell to move towards each other to enclose and protect the parked drone, preventing external rainwater from affecting the drone during charging and improving the safety of the device.

[0016] This invention features a quick-release ventilation mechanism. When assembling the filter, pulling the push-pull plate outward causes the movable rod and movable plate to move outward and compress the return spring, allowing the filter to be fitted onto both sides of the protective shell. Releasing the push-pull plate allows the return spring to reset, causing the movable rod to insert and fix the filter. This design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, and convenient replacement. It also enhances airflow inside the protective shell to achieve heat dissipation, further improving the safety of the device. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a drone positioning and information collection device, including a main body 1, with supports 2 fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the main body 1, a parking area 16 opened on the upper surface of the main body 1, a horizontal positioning mechanism installed at one end of the inner wall of the parking area 16, a vertical positioning mechanism installed at one end of the inner side wall of the parking area 16, a protective mechanism installed on the outer surface of the main body 1, and a quick-release ventilation mechanism installed on the protective mechanism. The horizontal positioning mechanism includes a second motor 17 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the parking area 16, a second lead screw 18 driven at the output end of the second motor 17, a first positioning rod 19 symmetrically driven on the surface of the second lead screw 18, a first mounting groove 20 opened on the other side of the inner wall of the parking area 16, a first guide rod 21 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the first mounting groove 20, and the first positioning rod 19 slidably connected to the first guide rod 21. The vertical positioning mechanism includes a third motor 22 fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the parking area 16. The output end of the three motors 22 is equipped with a third lead screw 23. The surface of the third lead screw 23 is symmetrically equipped with a second positioning rod 24. A second mounting plate 25 is provided on the other side of the inner wall of the parking area 16. A second guide rod 26 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the second mounting plate 25, and the second guide rod 26 is slidably connected to the second positioning rod 24. When the drone is parked on the parking area 16, the second motor 17 and the third motor 22 are started. The second motor 17 drives the second lead screw 18 to rotate. The second lead screw 18 drives the first positioning rod 19 to move towards each other along the first mounting groove 20 and the first guide rod 21 to perform lateral positioning of the drone's bottom bracket. The output end of the third motor 22 drives the third lead screw 23 to rotate. The third lead screw 23 drives the second positioning rod 24 to move towards each other along the second mounting strip 25 and the second guide rod 26 to perform vertical positioning of the drone's bottom bracket, so that the charging induction area at the bottom of the drone corresponds to the charging module 15, which is convenient for subsequent charging.

[0025] like Figure 1-4As shown, the protective mechanism includes a movable groove 4, which is symmetrically opened on both sides of the outer surface of the main body 1. A first lead screw 5 is driven in the inner cavity of the movable groove 4. A first motor 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the main body 1, and the output end of the first motor 3 is drivenly connected to one end of the first lead screw 5. A movable block 6 is symmetrically driven on the surface of the first lead screw 5, and the movable block 6 is slidably connected to the movable groove 4. A protective shell 7 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the movable block 6. A limit electric push rod 14 is fixedly installed at the center of the lower surface of the main body 1. A charging module 15 is driven in the output end of the limit electric push rod 14. In the initial state, the charging module 15 is in a horizontal position with the inner bottom wall of the parking area 16. After the drone is parked and positioned, the first motor 3 is started. The output end of the first motor 3 drives the first lead screw 5 to rotate. The first lead screw 5 drives the movable block 6 to move towards each other along the movable groove 4. The movable block 6 drives the protective shell 7 to move towards each other to seal and protect the parked drone, preventing external rainwater from affecting the drone during the charging process and enhancing the safety of the equipment operation.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the quick-release ventilation mechanism includes a filter screen 8, which is symmetrically fitted onto the outer surface of the protective shell 7. The protective shell 7 has symmetrically arranged mounting cavities 9 at both ends. A movable rod 10 is movably arranged inside the mounting cavity 9. A push-pull plate 13 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the movable rod 10. A movable plate 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the movable rod 10 within the mounting cavity 9. A return spring 12 is elastically arranged between one side of the movable plate 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 9. When assembling the filter screen 8, the push-pull plate 13 is pulled outwards. The push-pull plate 13 drives the movable rod 10 and movable plate 11 to move outwards and compress the return spring 12, fitting the filter screen 8 onto both sides of the protective shell 7. Releasing the push-pull plate 13 causes the return spring 12 to return, driving the movable rod 10 to insert and fix the filter screen 8. This design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, and convenient replacement. It enhances airflow inside the protective shell 7 to achieve heat dissipation, thus improving the heat dissipation effect of the equipment.

[0027] Working principle: During use, when the drone has completed information collection and its battery is low after a long flight, it will stop in parking area 16. First, the second motor 17 and the third motor 22 are started. The second motor 17 drives the second lead screw 18 to rotate. The second lead screw 18 drives the first positioning rod 19 to move towards each other along the first mounting groove 20 and the first guide rod 21 to perform lateral positioning of the drone's bottom support. The output end of the third motor 22 drives the third lead screw 23 to rotate. The third lead screw 23 drives the second positioning rod 24 to move towards each other along the second mounting groove 25 and the second guide rod 26 to perform vertical positioning of the drone's bottom support, so that the charging induction area on the bottom of the drone corresponds to the charging module 15. Then, the output end of the limit electric push rod 14 drives the charging module 15 to move upward and align with the charging induction area on the bottom of the drone. The system initiates charging by contacting the drone. After the drone is positioned, the first motor 3 is activated. The output of the first motor 3 drives the first lead screw 5 to rotate. The first lead screw 5 drives the moving block 6 to move towards the other side along the moving groove 4. The moving block 6 drives the protective shell 7 to move towards the other side, sealing and protecting the drone from external rainwater during charging. The push-pull plate 13 is pulled outward, which drives the movable rod 10 and movable plate 11 to move outward and compress the return spring 12. The filter 8 is then fitted onto both sides of the protective shell 7. The push-pull plate 13 is released, and as the return spring 12 returns to its original position, the movable rod 10 inserts and fixes the filter 8. The system is easy to install and remove, and easy to replace. It enhances the airflow inside the protective shell 7 to achieve heat dissipation. The overall mechanism is simple, easy to operate, and suitable for large-scale promotion.
