After the display controller 15 receives the data, it processes it and finds that the rainfall exceeds the set value or the wind speed exceeds the drone's wind resistance threshold (e.g., >8m / s). It will automatically abort takeoff or trigger an emergency return to prevent crash.

After the electric push rod 23 is stopped, the positioning slide plate 21 is placed under the airbag 46. When the agricultural drone 33 stops on the positioning slide plate 21, sometimes residual pesticides or water droplets may fall onto the positioning slide plate 21 and drip onto the upper end of the water guide and drainage pipe plate 41 for guided collection. Then, the monitoring camera 42 is activated to monitor whether water has entered the upper end of the water guide and drainage pipe plate 41 and to... The monitored data is sent to the display controller 15 via a data cable for processing and display. When the display controller 15 detects water on the upper end of the water guide and drainage pipe plate 41, it can control the battery valve 47 to open and drain the water remaining on the water guide and drainage pipe plate 41. After the water is drained, the battery valve 47 can be closed to prevent external dust from entering the airport box 11 through the lower end of the water guide and drainage pipe plate 41. Then, the air supply pipe 45 is activated to deliver air to the airbag 46 for inflation and expansion, which then contacts and clamps the agricultural drone 33.
