Abstract
Description
An automatic lift landing pad for drone inspection Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of helipad technology, and in particular to an automatic lifting helipad for drone inspection. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the times and the continuous improvement of people's technological level, traditional inspection methods may be insufficient in the process of inspecting construction sites and other sites, and may also involve a lot of labor costs and certain dangers, thus failing to meet the actual needs of use. However, using drones for inspection can effectively inspect from multiple directions, thereby preventing oversights, and can effectively reduce labor costs during the inspection process, thus gaining widespread popularity. In the process of using drones, the helipad is an indispensable and important component.
[0003] Traditional helipads are not convenient to use because the protective cover needs to be manually opened and closed before automatic take-off and landing, which limits their use. Furthermore, it is difficult to easily remove and repair drones after they are stored inside, making the device inconvenient and ineffective in use. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic lifting landing pad for drone inspection, in order to solve the shortcomings of existing automatic lifting landing pads for drone inspection that are inconvenient for automatically opening and closing the protective cover and for inspecting and maintaining drones.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic lifting landing pad for drone inspection, comprising a main body and a lifting plate;
[0006] The main body is equipped with a lifting plate inside, and a switch structure is fixed on both sides of the lifting plate;
[0007] The switch structure includes a connecting block, a transmission belt, a fixing block, a bidirectional threaded rod, a gear, and a protective cover. The connecting blocks are all fixed to both sides of the lifting plate. A transmission belt is provided on one side of each connecting block. The fixing blocks are evenly fixed to the top of the main body. A bidirectional threaded rod is provided on one side of each fixing block. A gear is fixed at the middle position of the bidirectional threaded rod. A protective cover is evenly provided on the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod.
[0008] Electric push rods are evenly fixed at the bottom of the lifting plate, and a through groove is provided on one side of the main body. An easy-access structure is provided inside the main body above the through groove.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting blocks are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lifting plate, and the bidirectional threaded rods are symmetrically distributed at the top of the main body.
[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the transmission belt is provided with toothed grooves, and the transmission belt meshes with the gears.
[0011] Preferably, the protective cover is symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod, and the bidirectional threaded rod and the protective cover are threaded together.
[0012] Preferably, the removable structure includes a slide groove, a baffle, snap-fit holes, an internal groove, a snap-fit rod, and a return spring. The slide groove is formed inside the main body above the through groove, and a baffle is provided inside the slide groove. Snap-fit holes are evenly formed on both sides of the baffle. The internal grooves are all formed inside the main body on both sides of the through groove, and snap-fit rods are provided inside the internal grooves. A return spring is fixed to the outer wall of each snap-fit rod.
[0013] Preferably, the baffle is slidably connected inside the chute, and the built-in grooves are symmetrically distributed inside the main bodies on both sides of the through groove.
[0014] Preferably, the locking rod is disposed inside the locking hole, and the locking rod and the baffle form a locking structure through the locking hole.
[0015] The advantages of the automatic lifting landing pad for drone inspection provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0016] By setting a switch structure, the gears and the transmission belt mesh with each other and the protective covers are threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod. When the electric push rod is activated to move the lifting plate up and down, it drives the transmission belt to rotate through the connecting block, which in turn drives the gear to rotate synchronously with the bidirectional threaded rod. This causes the two sets of protective covers to move towards each other on the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod, thus automatically opening and closing. This achieves the purpose of facilitating the automatic lifting of the lifting plate and automatically opening and closing the protective covers during the lifting process.
[0017] With an easy-access structure, the baffle is positioned by a locking mechanism consisting of a locking hole and a locking rod, ensuring it is inside the slide groove and is not prone to displacement. Pulling the locking rod moves it away from the locking hole, releasing the locking connection and allowing the baffle to slide inside the slide groove, thus facilitating the storage and retrieval of the drone for maintenance.

[0024] 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.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5. The present invention provides an automatic lifting landing pad for drone inspection, including a main body 1 and a lifting plate 2.
[0026] Referring to Figures 1-3, a lifting plate 2 is provided inside the main body 1. Switch structures 3 are fixed on both sides of the lifting plate 2. Each switch structure 3 includes a connecting block 301, a transmission belt 302, a fixing block 303, a bidirectional threaded rod 304, a gear 305, and a protective cover 306. The connecting blocks 301 are fixed to both sides of the lifting plate 2, and a transmission belt 302 is provided on one side of each connecting block 301. The fixing blocks 303 are evenly fixed to the top of the main body 1, and a bidirectional threaded rod 304 is provided on one side of each fixing block 303. A gear 305 is fixed at the middle position of the bidirectional threaded rod 304. Protective covers 306 are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 304. Connecting blocks 301 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lifting plate 2. The bidirectional threaded rod 304 is symmetrically distributed at the top of the main body 1. Gear grooves are opened on the outer wall of the transmission belt 302. The transmission belt 302 and the gear 305 mesh with each other. The protective covers 306 are symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 304. The bidirectional threaded rod 304 and the protective cover 306 form a threaded connection.
[0027] In order to reduce labor costs and improve inspection results during the inspection process, the use of drones is essential. When not in use, drones need to be protected, so a landing pad is used. In order to improve the convenience of storage during use, a switch structure 3 is set up. When the electric push rod 4 is activated, the lifting plate 2 is raised and lowered inside the main body 1. The connecting block 301 drives the transmission belt 302 to rotate. The transmission belt 302 meshes with the gear 305, which drives the bidirectional threaded rod 304 to rotate synchronously. When the lifting plate 2 is raised, the two sets of protective covers 306 move to the sides to open, and vice versa, they move to the middle position to close, thus greatly increasing the practicality of the device.
[0028] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 4, and 5, electric push rods 4 are evenly fixed to the bottom end of the lifting plate 2. A through groove 5 is provided on one side of the main body 1. An easy-access structure 6 is provided inside the main body 1 above the through groove 5. The easy-access structure 6 includes a sliding groove 601, a baffle 602, a snap-fit hole 603, an internal groove 604, a snap-fit rod 605, and a return spring 606. The sliding groove 601 is located inside the main body 1 above the through groove 5. A baffle 602 is provided inside the sliding groove 601. The baffle 602 is evenly fixed on both sides. The device has a snap-fit hole 603 and built-in grooves 604, which are all located inside the main body 1 on both sides of the through groove 5. Each built-in groove 604 has a snap-fit rod 605 inside it. Each snap-fit rod 605 has a return spring 606 fixed on its outer wall. The baffle 602 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 601. The built-in grooves 604 are symmetrically distributed inside the main body 1 on both sides of the through groove 5. The snap-fit rod 605 is located inside the snap-fit hole 603. The snap-fit rod 605 and the baffle 602 form a snap-fit structure through the snap-fit hole 603.
[0029] After the drone is stored inside the main body 1, it may need to be inspected and maintained. To facilitate its removal, a convenient retrieval structure 6 is provided, which allows the baffle 602 to slide inside the slide groove 601 and be positioned by the engaging structure formed by the snap-fit hole 603 and the snap-fit rod 605. When the drone needs to be removed for inspection, the snap-fit rod 605 is pulled away from the inside of the snap-fit hole 603, and the baffle 602 slides upward. When another set of snap-fit holes 603 moves to the side of the snap-fit rod 605, the snap-fit rod 605 is released, and it moves into the inside of the snap-fit hole 603 by the elastic force of the return spring 606, thus positioning the baffle 602. This prevents it from falling and obstructing the storage and retrieval of the drone, thereby greatly increasing the functionality of the device.
[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
