Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of helipad technology, and in particular to a foldable drone helipad with solar charging function. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of drone technology, its applications in aerial photography, agriculture, logistics, security, and other fields are becoming increasingly widespread. However, due to the limited battery life of drones, users often need to rely on portable charging devices to provide power when operating outdoors. Against this backdrop, solar charging devices have become an ideal choice for drone users due to their environmentally friendly and convenient characteristics.

[0003] Currently, there are two main types of products on the market: one is a foldable solar charging panel, which is usually composed of multiple solar panels and has a foldable structure, making it easy to carry and store, and suitable for powering a variety of electronic devices; the other is a drone landing pad, which is mainly used to assist drones in landing accurately and improve flight safety, but its function is relatively simple and it does not have charging capabilities.

[0004] While both types of products are relatively mature in the market, they are used independently and cannot meet users' needs for multifunctional, integrated equipment. For example, in field operations or emergency scenarios, users want both a stable drone take-off and landing platform and the ability to charge drones or other equipment with solar energy in real time to extend operating time. However, there is currently no portable solution that combines solar charging functionality with a drone landing pad.

[0005] In addition, while existing solar charging panels are somewhat portable, they lack designated areas and stable structures for drone landings, making them unsuitable for use as helipads. Traditional helipads, on the other hand, lack power systems and cannot provide on-site power supply, thus limiting their application scenarios.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of device that integrates solar charging and drone landing pad functions, which can provide a stable take-off and landing platform, power drones or other electronic devices through solar energy, and has good portability and practicality. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable drone landing pad with solar charging function to solve the technical problem that the drone landing pad and solar charging panel are separate functions and cannot be integrated for portable use in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a foldable drone landing pad with solar charging function, comprising a composite main body composed of multiple solar panels and a foldable frame. The folding area of ​​the foldable frame forms a marker for drones to identify their landing location. When unfolded, the composite main body is flat, and when folded, it is a stacked block. One end of the composite main body extends horizontally to form a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is equipped with a handle, which contains an external charging interface.

[0009] Furthermore, the solar panels are installed within the foldable frame, which has corner fasteners at its four corners. Positioning holes are provided at the corners of the foldable frame. Each corner fastener includes an upper fastener and a lower fastener, each with interlocking protruding rings positioned within the positioning holes. This interlocking protruding ring structure at the corners, combined with the positioning hole design, enables quick and secure connection at each corner, improving assembly efficiency and structural stability, and ensuring the helipad has good flatness and load-bearing capacity when deployed.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper fastener includes an arc-shaped step, with a guide strip on the upper step surface, and a positioning post that mates with the positioning groove post on the inner bottom of the upper fastener; the lower fastener includes an arc-shaped edge strip, with an inner strip located at a predetermined distance from the edge strip, forming a clamping groove between the edge strip and the inner strip for clamping the upper part of the step, and the inner strip having a positioning groove post that mates with the positioning post. This structure achieves precise alignment between the fasteners through the guide strip, improving assembly efficiency and consistency; the fit between the step and the clamping groove enhances the interlocking strength between the upper and lower fasteners, making the connection more robust and reliable; and the mutual mating of the positioning post and the positioning groove post further improves the accuracy and stability of the corner connection.

[0011] Furthermore, the handle is ring-shaped and includes a connection area for fixing to the connecting plate and a grip area for holding the handle. The grip area contains a mounting structure for fixing the circuit board. The handle includes an upper shell and a lower shell, which are fixedly connected by fasteners. The lower shell includes a front sidewall facing the composite body and a rear sidewall facing outwards. The front sidewall has a socket for inserting the connecting plate. A first upright is located inside the lower shell, and a rear wall is formed on the rear side of the first upright. The first upright is fixedly connected to the rear wall and the front sidewall by ribs. The handle adopts a split structure design of upper and lower shells, facilitating the installation and maintenance of internal circuit components. The fastener connection ensures structural stability and sealing. The socket on the front sidewall allows the connecting plate to be inserted and fixed, enhancing overall connection reliability. The combination structure of the first upright and ribs improves the support strength of the internal space of the handle, effectively preventing deformation and improving overall durability and portability.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting structure includes a second column located within the lower shell, on which a circuit board is fixedly mounted. A USB connector is mounted on the circuit board, and an insertion port for securing the USB connector is provided on the rear side wall. By incorporating a second column within the handle to secure the circuit board, a stable support is provided for the electronic components, ensuring they are not easily loosened or damaged during transportation and use. The USB connector allows users to conveniently charge drones or other devices in outdoor environments.

[0013] Furthermore, the USB connector includes a first USB connector and a second USB connector, with a cover at the insertion port. The cover at the insertion port provides dust and water protection, effectively protecting the internal circuitry from external environmental interference, extending its service life, and simultaneously improving the product's safety and protection level.

[0014] Furthermore, a first side cover, a second side cover, and an inner side cover are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the handle and the inner side of the grip area. The first side cover, the second side cover, and the inner side cover are provided with an anti-slip textured structure. This effectively increases the friction when the user grips the handle, thereby improving the stability of the grip and preventing inconvenience in operation or accidental drop due to slippage during use.

[0015] Furthermore, a compass is also embedded in the handle, which is installed in a circular groove in the handle.

[0016] Furthermore, a display screen for real-time display of charging status is mounted on the circuit board, and a protective cover is provided on the rear side wall for physical protection of the display screen.

[0017] The foldable drone landing pad with solar charging function provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] This invention organically integrates solar charging functionality with the drone landing pad structure, achieving a unified and portable design. This not only effectively solves the problems of separate functions and inconvenient carrying in existing technologies, but also, through the intelligent design of the foldable frame, provides a stable and reliable take-off and landing platform in the unfolded state, and facilitates storage and transportation in the folded state, significantly improving the applicability and efficiency of the equipment. Simultaneously, the external charging interface located inside the handle further enhances the equipment's practicality, allowing users to simultaneously charge drones or other electronic devices while working outdoors, improving battery life and operational continuity, and demonstrating promising market application prospects.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 2This invention provides a foldable drone landing pad with solar charging function. The landing pad includes a composite body 10 composed of multiple solar panels 11 and a foldable frame 13. The foldable frame 13 has a foldable area, which forms a marking pattern to assist the drone in identifying the landing position when unfolded. When the composite body 10 is fully unfolded, it has a planar structure, which facilitates the smooth take-off and landing of the drone; while in the folded state, it presents a stacked block structure, which is convenient for carrying and storage.

[0030] A connecting plate 14 extends horizontally outward from one end of the composite body 10. A handle 20 is provided on the connecting plate 14 to facilitate user handling of the device. The handle 20 integrates an external charging interface for charging drones or other electronic devices.

[0031] The handle 20 has a circular groove for mounting a compass 29. By integrating the compass 29 into the handle 20, directional information can be easily obtained during outdoor operations, eliminating the need to carry additional navigation tools and improving the practicality and ease of operation of the device.

[0032] Furthermore, solar panels 11 are embedded inside the foldable frame 13 to provide power to the helipad and its connected equipment. To enhance structural stability and overall durability, corner fasteners 12 are provided at each of the four corners of the foldable frame 13. Each corner fastener 12 includes an upper fastener 121 and a lower fastener 122, which are fixed together by a mutually cooperating convex ring structure, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire frame in the unfolded state. In addition, positioning holes 15 are provided at the corners of the foldable frame 13 to assist in the accurate positioning and assembly of the fasteners.

[0033] This invention combines a solar power system with a foldable structure, which not only achieves a portable design for drone landing pads, but also enhances their practicality and energy self-sufficiency in outdoor operating environments.

[0034] See Figures 6 to 8 The upper fastener 121 includes an arc-shaped step 1211, and a guide strip 1212 is provided on the upper step surface of the step 1211. The inner bottom of the upper fastener 121 is provided with a positioning post 1213 that cooperates with the positioning groove post 1223. The lower fastener 122 includes an arc-shaped side strip 1221, and an inner strip 1222 is provided at a predetermined distance from the side strip 1221. A clamping groove for clamping the upper part of the step 1211 is formed between the side strip 1221 and the inner strip 1222. The inner strip 1222 is provided with a positioning groove post 1223 that cooperates with the positioning post 1213.

[0035] See Figures 6 to 8As shown, the lower fastener 122 includes an arc-shaped edge strip 1221, with an inner strip 1222 positioned at a certain distance from the edge strip 1221. A clamping groove structure is formed between the edge strip 1221 and the inner strip 1222, which is used to clamp the upper part of the step 1211 in the upper fastener 121, thereby effectively fixing the upper fastener 121. Simultaneously, the inner strip 1222 is provided with a positioning post 1223, which cooperates with the positioning post 1213 on the upper fastener 121 to further enhance the connection stability and structural strength between the upper and lower fasteners.

[0036] This utility model, through the structural cooperation between the upper fastener 121 and the lower fastener 122, not only achieves a stable connection of each corner of the foldable frame 13, but also effectively improves the assembly accuracy and reliability of the overall structure.

[0037] See Figures 3 to 5 The handle 20 has an overall ring-shaped structure, including a connection area fixed to the connecting plate 14, a grip area for the user to hold, and a mounting structure for fixing the circuit board 23 within the grip area. The handle 20 consists of an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22, which are fixedly connected by fasteners to form a closed and stable internal space.

[0038] The lower shell 22 has a front sidewall 201 facing the composite body 10 and a rear sidewall 202 facing outward. The front sidewall 201 has a slot 221 for inserting the connecting plate 14 and fixing the structure. Inside the lower shell 22 is a first column 222, whose rear side forms a rear wall 223, which is connected to both the rear wall and the front sidewall 201 by stiffening plates 224, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength and stability of the lower shell 22.

[0039] The mounting structure within the grip area includes a second pillar 225 located inside the lower shell 22, on which a circuit board 23 is fixedly mounted. The circuit board 23 is equipped with multiple USB connectors, specifically a first USB connector 231 and a second USB connector 232.

The design of these raised strips and grooves works together to form a textured surface structure, effectively increasing the friction when the user grips the handle 20, thereby improving grip stability and preventing inconvenience or accidental slippage during use.

[0044] The aforementioned structure further enhances its practicality and safety in outdoor environments, and is particularly suitable for use on landing pads carrying heavier folding drones, providing a more comfortable and secure grip experience.

[0045] This utility model, through the optimized design of the handle 20 structure, not only realizes convenient human-computer interaction functions, but also effectively ensures the stable operation and safety of the internal circuit system, thereby improving the overall user experience and practicality of the drone landing pad.

[0046] The device should be made of lightweight and durable materials (such as PU fabric and plastic frame), have a foldable structure, and be equipped with a convenient carrying handle, thereby achieving a breakthrough in functional integration, user experience, and market competitiveness.

[0047] The foldable drone landing pad with solar charging function provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0048] This invention organically integrates solar charging functionality with a drone landing pad, achieving a unified, multi-functional portable design. This effectively solves the problem of separate functions and inability to integrate these two technologies in existing technologies.
