[0002] With the development of smart security, emergency patrol and other fields, air-ground integrated collaborative operation systems have become a key technology direction for improving mission efficiency. Drones have the characteristics of air-ground flight, high speed, flexible perspective change and large range of operation, and are mostly used to deal with sudden alarms. Robot dogs have the ability to move in complex terrain and can carry basic sensors to achieve long-term patrols. However, in case of emergency, drones need to be deployed manually, which will cause time delays. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bracket for robot dogs to carry drones to achieve air-ground collaboration. In case of emergency, the drone can be directly detached from the robot dog's back and take off quickly. Utility Model Content

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, bolts are provided at the four corners of the base, and the base is fixedly connected to the back bearing surface of the robot dog by the bolts.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the electromagnetic locking module is an electromagnetic block, which is installed on the inner side of the side plate. The drone has a locking block on its side. When the drone is loaded on the support plate, the electromagnetic block and the locking block are paired and limit the drone.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the communication interface slot also includes an energy sharing contact block. The bottom of the drone is provided with an energy sharing contact that is adapted to the energy sharing contact block. When the drone is loaded on the support plate, the energy sharing contact block and the energy sharing contact are paired, and the robot dog charges the drone's battery through the energy sharing contact block.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a bracket for mounting a drone on a robot dog, which has the following advantages:
[0012] This invention enables ground-air collaboration by using a robot dog to carry a drone. In case of emergencies, the drone can detach directly from the robot dog's back and take off quickly, avoiding the time delays of manual deployment. The bracket is installed on the robot dog's back bearing surface by bolts. The support plate and side plate form a groove structure for carrying the drone. The bottom of the drone sits perfectly in the groove structure, which also facilitates the drone's automatic return to the center position after landing. The electromagnetic locking module is triggered by the drone's contact with the support plate, facilitating the drone's rapid detachment and takeoff. The robot dog can charge the drone's battery through the energy sharing contact block. Addressing the pain point of limited drone battery capacity, this invention significantly extends the drone's operating time and expands its patrol range. Attached Figure Description
