Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated UAV ground reference station technology, specifically an integrated UAV ground reference station. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, long-range drones are slow to deploy and carry more and more equipment, which puts a heavy burden on ground staff. Compared with the multiple devices in a separate ground station, integrating multiple devices into a single enclosure makes it easier to control the drone. Therefore, integrated drone ground reference stations are needed.

[0003] Currently available integrated UAV ground base stations have poor heat dissipation. In high-temperature environments, this can affect the use of equipment components. Long-term use can lead to heat buildup, causing damage to equipment components. It is also inconvenient to disassemble and replace equipment components, thus shortening their lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an integrated UAV ground reference station to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model, and is not necessarily to be regarded as an admission or to imply in any way that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Hinges 16 are installed on both sides of the top of the front cover 2. The bottom of the hinges 16 is fixed to the two sides of the top of the outer shell 1. The hinges 16 are made of metal. A conductive coating is applied to the inner wall of both the outer shell 1 and the front cover 2. The conductive coating can effectively absorb, conduct and attenuate electromagnetic waves, thereby shielding electromagnetic interference. This is very important for controlling the induction and radiation of electric fields, magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves.

[0029] The inner walls of the outer casing 1 and the front cover 2 are coated with a conductive coating. The conductive coating usually contains conductive metal powder, such as copper and silver. The paint film formed after drying has excellent conductivity. The conductive coating can serve as a protective energy absorption layer, providing excellent static conductivity and shielding protection. It can reflect and release static charges, protecting the device from electrostatic damage.

[0030] The outer surface of the inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a sealing ring groove, and the inner cavity of the sealing ring groove is provided with a conductive waterproof sealing ring 17. The heat sink 3 is a passive heat dissipation device, usually made of metal material. Its working principle is to increase the heat dissipation area to improve the heat conduction efficiency.

The cooling fan 4 is an active heat dissipation device.

[0031] Screws are provided around the front of the cooling fan 4, and the back of the screws penetrates through the back of the cooling fan 4 and is fixed to the front of the heat sink 3. The fan blades are driven to rotate by a motor, which forces the air to convect and accelerate the dissipation of heat. The cooling fan 4 is usually used in conjunction with the heat sink 3 to form a so-called "air-cooled" heat dissipation system. In this system, the airflow generated by the cooling fan 4 can effectively remove the heat from the surface of the heat sink 3, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The cooling fan 4 is suitable for high power consumption or devices that need to work continuously for a long time.

[0032] There are six input / output interfaces 11, which are distributed sequentially on the upper and lower sides of the outer casing 1.

These conductive coatings effectively absorb, conduct, and attenuate electromagnetic waves, thus shielding against electromagnetic interference. This is crucial for controlling the induction and radiation of electric fields, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic waves. The conductive coating typically contains conductive metal powders, such as copper and silver. The resulting film after drying has excellent conductivity. The conductive coating acts as a protective energy absorption layer, providing excellent static conductivity and shielding performance. It can reflect and release static charges, protecting the device from electrostatic damage. The heat sink 3 is a passive heat dissipation device, usually made of metal. Its working principle is to increase the heat dissipation area to improve heat conduction efficiency.

The cooling fan 4 is an active heat dissipation device, driven by a motor to rotate the fan blades, forcibly dissipating heat. Convection air accelerates heat dissipation. The cooling fan 4 is usually used in conjunction with the heat sink 3 to form a so-called "air-cooled" heat dissipation system. In this system, the airflow generated by the cooling fan 4 can effectively remove the heat from the surface of the heat sink 3, further improving heat dissipation efficiency. The cooling fan 4 is suitable for high-power devices or devices that need to work continuously for a long time. The hinge seat 16 facilitates the assembly of the outer shell 1 and the front cover 2, increasing the stability of the assembly of the outer shell 1 and the front cover 2.
