Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically relating to a portable UAV take-off and landing platform. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices. In fact, they are a general term for unmanned aerial vehicles. To ensure their stability, UAVs need to take off and land on relatively flat ground. This is especially true for small UAVs, which are small in size. For example, when taking off on grass, the uneven terrain and the grass blades can easily cause the UAV's propellers to touch the grass and cause damage.

[0003] For example, a drone take-off and landing platform, as disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN207595287U, includes a panel and multiple support legs located below the panel, each of which is rotatably connected to the panel. The support legs and the panel also include a limiting part and a locking part. The limiting part is used to maintain an obtuse or right angle between the support legs and the panel, and the locking part is used to lock the relative position of the support legs and the panel. Multiple through holes are evenly distributed on the panel. A level is also included, mounted on the panel. This device provides a stable take-off and landing platform for drones.

[0004] As described in the prior art of the aforementioned patent, although a platform for take-off and landing of drones can be provided, some take-off and landing platforms are not easy to store, are large in size, and are not easy to carry. In addition, some accessories are not easy to carry as a whole. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable drone take-off and landing platform that is easy to carry. When unfolded, it forms a platform for drone take-off and landing, and when folded, it forms a box, reducing its size and making it convenient to store accessories and carry the device.

[0026] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a portable UAV take-off and landing platform, including a take-off and landing platform 1. The take-off and landing platform 1 includes a platform 11 and a platform 2 12. Both platform 11 and platform 2 12 are box structures. Platform 11 and platform 2 12 are connected by a hinge 14. The four corners of the lower end of the unfolded take-off and landing platform 1 are provided with support structures 2. The maximum opening angle between platform 11 and platform 2 12 through the hinge 14 is 180°.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to provide a stable platform for the take-off and landing of the drone, platform 11 and platform 2 12 can be unfolded through hinge 14 to form take-off and landing platform 1. Support structure 2 is connected to the four lower corners of take-off and landing platform 1 using connecting seats 13 to support the device, so that take-off and landing platform 1 can be placed stably on the ground, which facilitates the take-off and landing of the drone.

[0028] Specifically, hinge 14 connects platform 11 and platform 2 12 together, forming a larger planar structure when unfolded, which facilitates the take-off and landing of the drone. When folded, it forms a box with a reduced volume, making it easy to carry and storing some accessories to prevent the loss of components. The take-off and landing platform 1 provides support for the take-off and landing of the drone, which can prevent the small drone from being damaged by the propeller when taking off on uneven ground such as grass.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 As shown, the four inner corners of the lifting platform 1 are equipped with connecting seats 13 for connecting with the support structure 2. The angle between the central axis of the connecting seat 13 and the vertical center line of the lifting platform 1 is α, and the angle range of α is 5-10°.

[0030] In this embodiment, the take-off and landing platform 1 is connected to the support structure 2 via the connecting seat 13, so that the support structure 2 is supported on the four corners of the deployed take-off and landing platform 1. An angle α is provided between the connecting seat 13 and the take-off and landing platform 1. After the support structure 2 is installed on the connecting seat 13, it also forms an angle with the take-off and landing platform 1, making the support structure 2 more stable in supporting the take-off and landing platform 1.

[0031] Rubber pads 3 are respectively attached to the outer side of platform 11 and the outer side of platform 212;

[0032] In this embodiment, rubber pads 3 are attached to the outer surfaces of both platform 11 and platform 2 12. After platform 11 and platform 2 12 are unfolded, the drone can take off and land on the rubber pads 3. The rubber pads 3 can provide a certain cushioning effect. In addition, the rubber pads 3 can also increase the friction between the drone and the platform, making the take-off and landing more stable. After platform 11 and platform 2 12 are folded, the rubber pads 3 can protect platform 11 and platform 2 12 and prevent the platform from being damaged by bumps.

[0033] The support structure 2 includes a connecting block 21 that is threadedly engaged with the connecting seat 13. A first support rod 22 is connected to the outer end of the connecting block 21, a second support rod 23 is connected to the inner side of the first support rod 22, and a support leg 24 is hinged to the lower end of the second support rod 23. The first support rod 22 and the second support rod 23 are telescopic structures.

[0034] In this embodiment, the support structure 2 is screwed into the connecting seat 13 by the connecting block 21 through thread engagement, forming a connection between the support structure 2 and the lifting platform 1, which facilitates installation and disassembly. In addition, if the position where the lifting platform 1 is placed is uneven, the length of each set of support structures 2 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the first support rod 22 and the second support rod 23, so that each set of support structures 2 can contact the ground and provide support. After adjustment, the first support rod 22 and the second support rod 23 can be locked by tightening the locking rod 25. The support leg 24 is hinged below the second support rod 23, and the support leg 24 contacts the ground, which facilitates better contact between the support structure 2 and the uneven ground.

[0035] Platform 11 and Platform 2 12 are respectively equipped with buckles 5 for engaging the support structure 2 inside the box. The buckles 5 are made of plastic.

[0036] Buckles 5 are installed inside platform 11 and platform 2 to facilitate the storage and fixation of the support structure 2, and to prevent the support structure 2 from shaking and bumping inside the box formed by platform 11 and platform 2.

[0037] The side of the support structure 2 is provided with a locking mechanism 7. The locking mechanism 7 includes a locking rod 71 installed on the platform 2 12 and a locking pin 2 72 provided on the platform 1 11. The locking rod 71 and the locking pin 2 72 are engaged.

[0038] In this embodiment, locking mechanisms 7 are provided on both sides of platform 11 and platform 2 12. After platform 11 and platform 2 12 are unfolded, locking rod 71 is fastened to locking pin 2 72 to lock platform 11 and platform 2 12, preventing accidental locking after unfolding and affecting the take-off and landing safety of the drone. After platform 11 and platform 2 12 are unfolded, locking rod 71 is fastened to locking pin 2 72. When platform 11 and platform 2 12 need to be folded, locking rod 71 is removed from locking pin 2 72 for easy folding. In addition, after folding, the equipment can be lifted by holding handle 6 for easy carrying.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a latch 4 and a locking pin 41 are respectively provided at one end of platform 11 and one end of platform 2. After platform 11 and platform 2 are folded, the latch 4 is fastened to the locking pin 41 to lock platform 11 and platform 2, preventing them from opening during transportation and avoiding the falling of internal items.

[0040] The working principle of this utility is as follows: When the drone takes off and lands, in order to provide a stable platform for the drone to take off and land, platform 11 and platform 2 12 can be unfolded through hinge 14 to form take-off and landing platform 1. Support structure 2 is connected to the four corners of the take-off and landing platform 1 by connecting seat 13 to support the device, so that the take-off and landing platform 1 can be placed stably on the ground, which is convenient for the drone to take off and land.
