Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of drone supporting equipment, specifically relating to a drone packaging structure and transfer box. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and onboard program control devices, or autonomously operated by an onboard computer. They include various types such as unmanned fixed-wing aircraft and multi-rotor aircraft, and are characterized by small size, low cost, and flexible use.

[0003] Medium and large fixed-wing UAVs, with their long endurance, large payload and high performance, have been deeply integrated into multiple fields such as military and civilian applications. In order to facilitate transportation and transfer, fixed-wing UAVs are usually disassembled and put into a transport box. When in use, they are taken out of the transport box and reassembled.

[0004] Currently, in order to prevent drones from shaking in the shipping box after unpacking, a packaging structure is usually set up in the shipping box to fix the various parts of the drone. For example, the patent with publication number CN105059719A describes an internal structure of a small drone packaging box. The overall base frame is folded and unfolded by a compression gas spring linkage between short and long uprights. The drone body and wings are fixed to the body support and clamps respectively, and locked with locking pins. However, the internal structure is complex, has many parts, is troublesome to assemble, and is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a drone packaging structure and transfer box are provided to solve the problem of complex and inconvenient drone packaging structures.

[0006] On the one hand, the technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a drone packaging structure, comprising:

[0007] The first packaging body has a through groove for fitting and covering the outside of the drone fuselage;

[0008] Two first pads are disposed at the bottom of the first packaging body, and the top of the first pads forms a first support groove for matching and supporting the bottom of both ends of the drone body;

[0009] The second packaging body is positioned above the first packaging body, and the top of the second packaging body is provided with several placement slots spaced apart for matching and placing the drone wings;

[0010] Several support ridges are provided on the top of the second packaging body, and the placement slot is located between two adjacent support ridges. The top of the several support ridges is continuously provided with a groove for matching and placing the tail fin of the drone.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The drone fuselage is packaged and protected using a first packaging body and two first pads. A second packaging body is placed on the first packaging body. The second packaging body has a placement slot for placing the disassembled wings. The support ridges on the second packaging body raise the position of the shaped groove, so that the shaped groove does not interfere with the placement slot below. The support ridges can be reused, and the recessed shaped groove is used to place the tail fin. At the same time, the spacing between the support ridges makes it easy to remove the wings. The overall packaging effect is good, the distribution is scientific, and it is convenient and quick to take out.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows:

[0014] In one embodiment, a groove is provided at the bottom of the first packaging body along the length direction, the groove is connected to the bottom of the through groove, the top of the first pad is provided with a protrusion matching the groove, and the first support groove is provided on the top of the protrusion.

[0015] By creating a groove at the bottom of the first packaging body and setting a protrusion at the top of the first pad, the protrusion fits into the groove, allowing the separate first pad and the first packaging body to snap together and remain stable when used together.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first pad has a first half-groove on both sides of the protrusion, and the bottom of the first packaging body has a second half-groove corresponding to the first half-groove. The first half-groove and the second half-groove form a strip groove for wrapping the drone landing gear bay connecting rod.

[0017] For drones with landing gear bays, the strip groove formed between the first packaging body and the first pad facilitates the placement of the landing gear bay. Furthermore, the two ends of the landing gear bay are located in the first half-groove on the first pad, which helps to determine the position of the first pad. This facilitates subsequent matching and positioning of the first packaging body with the first pad below.

[0018] In one embodiment, a plurality of second pads are also included, the second pads being disposed between two first pads, and the top of the second pads having a second support groove for supporting the bottom of the drone fuselage.

[0019] In one embodiment, the second pad is fitted into the through groove on both sides.

[0020] This allows the second pad to be placed between the two first pads at the bottom of the first packaging body after the first pad and the first packaging body have been matched and set.

[0021] In one embodiment, the ends of the two outermost placement slots are bent inward to form arc-shaped slots, which extend upward through the support ridge and are used to fit the winglets at the wingtips.

[0022] For aircraft with winglets, the arc-shaped grooves extending through the placement slots on both sides facilitate the placement of winglets from top to bottom without interference from the support ridges, resulting in a reasonable and scientific placement arrangement.

[0023] In one embodiment, the top of the wing placed in the placement slot is higher than the top of the placement slot and lower than the bottom of the slot.

[0024] The bottom of the molded slot is set higher than the top of the wing so that the wing does not interfere with the tail fin placed in the slot after it is placed in the slot. At the same time, the top of the wing being higher than the top of the slot makes it easier to pick up the wing.

[0025] In this embodiment, the sidewall of the support ridge is provided with several notches spaced apart, and the notches are arranged in a series of intervals along the length of the sidewall of the support ridge, so as to facilitate the removal and placement of the wing from different positions.

[0026] The notches in the sidewalls of the support ribs facilitate loading and unloading, allowing hands to reach between the support ribs for easy wing removal.

[0027] On the other hand, this embodiment also discloses a drone transport box, which includes:

[0028] Such as the drone packaging structure described above;

[0029] The box contains the drone packaging structure, and the bottom of the box is equipped with several casters and the sides of the box are equipped with several lifting lugs.

[0030] In one embodiment, a forklift slot is also provided at the bottom of the box. Attached Figure Description

[0045] Currently, most medium and large fixed-wing UAVs adopt a detachable structure, which facilitates transportation through disassembly. In this embodiment, the UAV includes a fuselage, multiple wing segments connected to the fuselage, a landing gear bay, and a tail. One end of the landing gear bay is connected to a connecting rod. After disassembly, the fuselage, multiple wing segments, landing gear connecting rod, and tail need to be packaged.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a drone packaging structure, which includes: a first packaging body 1, two first pads 3, a second packaging body 5, and several supporting ridges 7.

[0048] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the first packaging body 1 is a cuboid in shape. A through groove 2 is provided in the first packaging body 1. The through groove 2 passes through the first packaging body 1 vertically. The outer contour of the through groove 2 is consistent with the outer contour of the fuselage and is used to fit and cover the outside of the drone fuselage.

[0049] Two first pads 3 are disposed at the bottom of the first packaging body 1. The top of the first pads 3 forms a first support groove 4. The support grooves at the top of the two first pads 3 respectively match the shape of the bottom of both ends of the fuselage, and are used to match and support the bottom of both ends of the drone fuselage. The bottom and outer side of the fuselage are wrapped and supported by the cooperation of the first pads 3 and the first packaging body 1.

[0050] The second packaging body 5 is a cuboid with the same outer contour as the first packaging body 1. The second packaging body 5 is located above the first packaging body 1. On the one hand, it seals the opening of the through slot 2 above the first packaging body 1. On the other hand, it can be used to support the wings. Specifically, the top of the second packaging body 5 is provided with a number of placement slots 6 at intervals. The placement slots 6 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the second packaging body 5 and are opened along the length direction of the second packaging body 5 to match and place the drone wings.

[0051] Several support ridges 7 are disposed on the top of the second packaging body 5. Specifically, the support ridges 7 can be integrally formed with the second packaging body 5. The placement groove 6 is located between two adjacent support ridges 7. The top of several support ridges 7 is continuously provided with a shaped groove 8 for matching and placing the tail fin of the drone.

[0052] The drone body is packaged and protected using the first packaging body 1 and two first pads 3. At the same time, the second packaging body 5 is placed on the first packaging body 1. The placement slot 6 in the second packaging body 5 is used to place the disassembled wings. The support ridges 7 on the second packaging body 5 raise the position of the groove 8 so that the groove 8 does not interfere with the placement slot 6 below. The support ridges 7 can be reused to form grooves for placing the tail fin. At the same time, the spacing between the support ridges 7 makes it easy to remove the wings. The overall packaging effect is good, the distribution is scientific, and it is convenient and quick to take out.

[0053] To facilitate the positioning of the first packaging body 1 and the first pad 3, a groove 9 is provided at the bottom of the first packaging body 1 along the length direction. The groove 9 is connected to the bottom of the through groove 2. A protrusion 10 matching the groove 9 is provided at the top of the first pad 3. The height of the protrusion 10 is not higher than the depth of the groove 9. The first support groove 4 is provided at the top of the protrusion 10. By providing a groove 9 at the bottom of the first packaging body 1 and a protrusion 10 at the top of the first pad 3, the protrusion 10 fits into the groove 9, so that the separate first pad 3 and the first packaging body 1 can be locked together and remain stable when used together.

[0054] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, to facilitate the placement of drones with landing gear bay connecting rod accessories, the first pad 3 has first semi-grooves 11 on both sides of the protrusion 10. The bottom of the first packaging body 1 has a second semi-groove 12 corresponding to the first semi-grooves 11. The first semi-grooves 11 and the second semi-grooves 12 form a strip-shaped groove that encloses the drone's landing gear bay connecting rod. The second semi-groove 12 on the first packaging body 1 is a complete strip-shaped groove. The first semi-groove 11 on the first pad 3 is a strip-shaped groove that matches the end of the landing gear bay connecting rod. For drones with landing gear bays, the strip-shaped groove formed between the first packaging body 1 and the first pad 3 facilitates the placement of the landing gear bay. Furthermore, the two ends of the landing gear bay are respectively located in the first semi-grooves 11 on the first pad 3, which helps to determine the position of the first pad 3. This facilitates subsequent matching and positioning of the first packaging body 1 with the first pad 3 below.

[0055] To improve the support effect at the bottom of the fuselage, a number of second pads 13 are also included. The second pads 13 are disposed between two first pads 3, and the top of the second pads 13 is provided with a second support groove 14 that supports the bottom of the drone fuselage.

[0056] Furthermore, a second support groove 14 matching the shape of the bottom of the fuselage can be provided on the second pad 13.

[0057] Specifically, the second pad 13 is fitted into the through groove 2 on both sides. The range of the second pad 13 on both sides is included in the outline range of the through groove 2, so that after the first pad 3 and the first packaging body 1 are matched and set, the second pad 13 can be placed between the two first pads 3 at the bottom of the first packaging body 1 through the through groove 2 in the first packaging body 1 from above the first packaging body 1, and then the machine body is put into the through groove 2.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the packaging wing has winglets that can be placed on the wing. The ends of the two outermost placement slots 6 are bent inward to form arc-shaped slots 15. The arc-shaped slots 15 pass through the support rib 7 and are used to fit and place the winglets at the end of the wing.

[0059] For aircraft with winglets, the arc-shaped grooves 15 formed by extending through the placement slots 6 on both sides can facilitate the placement of winglets from top to bottom without interference from the support ridges 7, and the position arrangement is reasonable and scientific.

[0060] To facilitate retrieval and placement into the wing, the top of the wing placed in the placement slot 6 is higher than the top of the placement slot 6 and lower than the bottom of the slot 8.

[0061] The bottom of the slot 8 is set higher than the top of the wing so that the wing does not interfere with the tail fin placed in the slot 8 after it is placed in the slot 6. At the same time, the top of the wing is higher than the top of the slot 6 so that the wing can be easily picked up.

[0062] In one embodiment, a plurality of notches 16 are spaced apart on the sidewall of the support ridge 7.

[0063] The notch 16 on the side wall of the support rib 7 allows for easy handling during loading and unloading. Hands can be inserted through the notch 16 into the gaps of the support rib 7 to easily retrieve the wing.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment also discloses a drone transport box, which includes: the packaging structure and box body 17 in embodiment 1.

[0066] The box 17 is equipped with the drone packaging structure, and the bottom of the box 17 is provided with several casters 18, and the sides of the box 17 are provided with several lifting lugs 19.

[0067] The universal wheels 18 facilitate manual pushing of the box 17, and the lifting lugs 19 facilitate the use of overhead cranes or cranes to lift and unload the box 17.

[0068] In one embodiment, a forklift slot 20 is also provided at the bottom of the housing 17. The forklift slot 20 facilitates the insertion and positioning of the forklift forks without deviation, enabling quick transfer and loading / unloading using a forklift.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
