Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) nest technology, specifically relating to a UAV nest that is easy to inspect and maintain. Background Technology

[0002] The main functions of a drone nest include automatic storage, automatic charging / battery swapping, remote communication, data storage, and intelligent analysis. Through automation and intelligent technologies, it provides drones with safe parking, automatic charging, data collection, routine maintenance and repair, and communication and network relay functions, thereby greatly improving the operational efficiency of drones. The design of the drone nest enables drones to take off and land automatically, effectively replacing manual on-site operation, especially in harsh environments or dangerous missions, where its advantages are even more pronounced.

[0003] Currently, drone nests are mainly installed in open areas such as ground or rooftops where there are no obstructions. This is because drones rely on wind and airflow to maintain stability during takeoff and landing, and these obstructions can interfere with signal reception and positioning, even causing safety accidents. Therefore, the selection of the drone nest installation location is particularly important to ensure the safe operation of drones. This invention proposes a drone nest that improves drone utilization efficiency, reduces the nest's dependence on the environment, and offers the advantages of flexible deployment and convenient maintenance.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drone nest that is easy to inspect and maintain, comprising a column, a sliding platform slidably connected to the column body, landing pads symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding platform, a main body installed on the landing pad, a protective cover fixed to the top of the column body, the protective cover and the sliding platform being adapted to each other, a lifting mechanism provided inside the column, the lifting mechanism comprising a wire rope and a pulley, a winding assembly installed at one end of the wire rope, the other end of the wire rope being fixedly connected to the sliding platform, the pulley being fixed to the top of the inside of the column, and the wire rope body being installed on the pulley.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, photovoltaic panels are uniformly installed on the top end face of the protective cover, and a wind turbine is installed on the top of the column.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the winding assembly includes a drive motor, a spool is fixed to the output end of the drive motor, one end of the wire rope is fixed to the spool, and the rope body is wound around the spool body.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a base is fixed to the bottom of the column, and the drive motor body and the bobbin are both fixed on the base.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] (1) This utility model uses a column to increase the overall height of the drone nest, making it convenient for installation in areas with some obstructions and ensuring the normal flight of the drone. At the same time, a slide is set on the column, on which the landing pad and the main body are installed, providing a platform for the drone to stop, charge and perform other operations. The lifting mechanism is used to move the slide up and down, thereby realizing the take-off and sealed parking of the drone. This design avoids the need for maintenance personnel to climb, providing convenience for later inspection and maintenance.

[0012] (2) In terms of practicality, the design of the drone nest in this invention fully considers the application needs in different scenarios. It improves the efficiency of drone use and reduces dependence on the environment. In summary, through ingenious design, this invention achieves a significant increase in the height of the drone nest, flexible deployment, and convenient maintenance, providing strong support for the widespread application of drones.
