Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) take-off and landing platform technology, specifically to a UAV inspection take-off and landing platform. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of drones in fields such as power line inspection and rail transportation, the stability, portability, and safety of take-off and landing platforms have become critical requirements. However, most existing platforms typically use a fully enclosed design to create a protective space for drones, and also incorporate fixed structures to hold the drone in place. However, the creation of the protective space and the operation of the fixed structure are often independent, requiring operators to perform two separate steps, making the process cumbersome. Furthermore, most existing platforms rely on rigid structures for drone fixation, lacking dynamic cushioning capabilities, making them susceptible to damage from impacts during transport. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drone inspection take-off and landing platform. A positioning component is installed on the semi-cover, which can locate the drone while forming a protective space. Furthermore, the positioning component and the floating platform can act as a buffer when the drone is subjected to impact, thus protecting the drone.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a drone inspection take-off and landing platform, comprising:

[0005] A base, the upper side of which is used to place the drone;

[0006] A protective cover, which is mounted on the base and forms a sealed receiving space when closed to protect the drone located on the base;

[0007] A positioning component, which is mounted on a protective cover, is used to secure the drone located on the base when the protective cover is closed.

[0008] Preferably, the protective cover includes two half-covers, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the base. When the two half-covers are at their lowest point, they are movably engaged with the base, and when the two half-covers are at their highest point, they rotate open in opposite directions.

[0009] Preferably, a square shaft is provided on the lower side of the end of the half cover away from the center of the base. The square shaft is fixedly connected to the half cover by fixing plates fixedly connected at both ends. A limiting track adapted to the square shaft is fixedly connected to the end face of the base.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting track consists of a sliding part and a rotating part. The sliding part is rectangular in shape, and its width is adapted to the width of the square axis. The rotating part is circular, and its diameter is adapted to the diagonal length of the square axis.

[0011] Preferably, the inner surfaces of the half-covers on both sides away from the square shaft are fixedly connected to limiting shafts, and the two sides of the base are provided with limiting grooves that are adapted to the limiting shafts.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the limiting track is fixedly connected to a first protrusion adapted to the square shaft, and the lower end of the limiting groove is fixedly connected to the two sides of the groove wall with a second protrusion adapted to the limiting shaft.

[0013] Preferably, one of the half-covers is fixedly connected to a sealing frame at one end near the center of the base, and the other half-cover is provided with a sealing groove that matches the sealing frame.

[0014] Preferably, the positioning component includes:

[0015] Multiple fixing cylinders are fixedly connected to the inner side of the protective cover that is opposite to the upper side of the base when the cover is closed.

[0016] Multiple pressure rods are slidably installed inside corresponding fixed cylinders, and one end of the pressure rod inside the fixed cylinder is connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder by a positioning spring.

[0017] Preferably, the base is provided with a floating platform, which is slidably installed inside a floating groove provided on the upper side of the base, and a floating spring is provided between the floating platform and the bottom side wall of the floating groove.

[0018] Preferably, a rubber block is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure rod located outside the fixed cylinder.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This invention, through the design of a half-cover, a square shaft, and a limiting track, ensures that when the square shaft is inside the sliding part of the limiting track, the half-cover can only slide up and down and cannot rotate. At the same time, it can achieve self-locking with the first protrusion, thus ensuring stable and fully enclosed protection of the drone when the half-cover is closed. When the square shaft rises to the rotating part of the limiting track, the half-cover can be rotated open to avoid affecting the take-off and landing of the drone, while simplifying the opening and closing operation and improving the efficiency of the staff.

[0021] This invention, through the design of the half-cover and positioning component, enables the two half-covers to close and move downwards when forming the accommodating space. At this time, the positioning component cooperates with the floating platform to position the drone, ensuring that it remains fixed within the accommodating space, thereby protecting the drone.

[0022] This invention, through the setting of positioning components and floating platforms, enables the drone to be positioned so that when the base is impacted, the impact force can be mitigated by floating buffer, thereby better protecting the equipment; during landing, the floating platform further absorbs the impact energy, significantly improving the protection effect.

[0034] 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.

[0035] This utility model provides a drone inspection take-off and landing platform, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] A drone inspection take-off and landing platform includes a base 1 with a protective cover installed on the base 1. When closed, the protective cover can cooperate with the base 1 to form a fully enclosed containment space, thereby protecting the drone located on the base 1.

[0038] The protective cover includes two half-covers 2, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the base 1. When the two half-covers 2 are at their lowest point, they can interlock with the base 1 to ensure the stability of the resulting storage space.

[0039] When the two half-covers 2 rise to their highest point, they can rotate in opposite directions, thus clearing the space above the base 1 and preventing the drone from taking off.

[0040] A square shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the half-cover 2 away from the center of the base 1 via a fixing plate. There is a gap between the upper side of the square shaft 3 and the half-cover 2. A limiting track 4 adapted to the square shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the end face of the base 1. The limiting track 4 consists of a sliding part and a rotating part. The rotating part is located above the sliding part. The sliding part is rectangular in shape, and the width between its two inner sides is adapted to the width of the square shaft 3. The square shaft 3 can slide up and down inside the sliding part. The rotating part is circular in shape, and its inner diameter is adapted to the diagonal length of the square shaft 3. When the square shaft 3 rises into the interior of the rotating part, the square shaft 3 can rotate inside the rotating part.

[0041] When half-cover 2 is at its lowest point, square shaft 3 is located inside the sliding part. At this time, half-cover 2 can only slide up and down. When half-cover 2 rises to its highest point, square shaft 3 moves to the inside of the rotating part. At this time, half-cover 2 can rotate around the axis of the rotating part, so that the two half-covers 2 can rotate away from each other.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to make the half cover 2 more stable in the closed state, a limiting shaft 5 is fixedly provided on the inner side of both sides of the half cover 2 away from the square shaft 3. A limiting groove 6 adapted to the limiting shaft 5 is provided on both sides of the base 1. When the square shaft 3 slides inside the sliding part, the limiting shaft 5 can slide inside the limiting groove 6, which can make the half cover 2 slide up and down more stably. When the square shaft 3 moves to the inside of the rotating part, the limiting shaft 5 moves to the top of the base 1, which will not affect the rotation of the half cover 2.

[0044] On the two sides of the lower end of the limiting track 4, a first protrusion 7 adapted to the square shaft 3 is fixedly connected. On the two sides of the lower end of the limiting groove 6, a second protrusion 8 adapted to the limiting shaft 5 is fixedly connected. The first protrusion 7 is interference-fitted with the square shaft 3, and the second protrusion 8 is interference-fitted with the limiting shaft 5, so that the half cover 2 can be stably placed at the lowest point to protect the drone.

[0045] In order to better maintain the seal between the two half-covers 2, a sealing frame 16 is fixedly connected to one end of one half-cover 2 near the center of the base 1, and a sealing groove 17 adapted to the sealing frame 16 is provided on the other half-cover 2. When the two half-covers 2 are closed, the sealing frame 16 will be inserted into the sealing groove 17, thereby increasing the seal between the two half-covers 2.

[0046] Example 3:

[0047] A positioning component is provided on the protective cover. The positioning component can position the drone located on the base 1 when the protective cover is closed, so that the drone can be kept fixed inside the containment space and avoid damage to the drone from impact. The positioning component includes multiple fixing cylinders 9. The fixing cylinders 9 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the half cover 2 that is opposite to the upper side of the base 1 when the half cover 2 is closed. A pressure rod 10 is slidably installed inside the fixing cylinder 9. One end of the pressure rod 10 inside the fixing cylinder 9 is connected to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 9 through a positioning spring 11. A rubber block 15 is fixedly connected to the other end of the pressure rod 10 outside the fixing cylinder 9. When the half cover 2 is lowered, the rubber block 15 will press against the drone. At this time, the positioning spring 11 will contract, so that the rubber block 15 will continuously apply a pressing force to the drone, thus fixing the drone.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to better protect the drone, a floating platform 12 is provided on the upper side of the base 1. The floating platform 12 is slidably installed inside the floating groove 13 provided on the upper side of the base 1, and a floating spring 14 is connected between the floating platform 12 and the bottom side wall of the floating groove 13.

[0049] When the rubber block 15 presses against the drone, the floating spring 14 will also contract, relieving the pressure on the upper side of the drone. It relieves the pressure on the drone from both the top and bottom directions, and at the same time, it can better cushion the drone when the base 1 is subjected to impact, thus better protecting the drone.

[0050] In addition, when the drone lands on the base 1, the floating spring 14 will also contract, allowing the floating platform to absorb the drone's landing, further improving the protection of the drone.

[0051] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
