Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically a remotely controlled material transport device for the construction of unmanned island base stations. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of communication technology, the demand for base station construction on uninhabited islands is increasing. However, the geographical environment of uninhabited islands is extremely complex, with problems such as poor transportation and rugged terrain, which makes the transportation of materials needed for base station construction a major challenge.
[0003] Currently, the transportation of materials to uninhabited islands mainly relies on traditional methods such as shipping and manual handling. While shipping can carry a large capacity per trip, it is highly susceptible to adverse weather conditions and complex sea conditions. For example, in typhoons, heavy rains, and dense fog, navigation poses significant safety risks, often requiring ships to stop and wait, which greatly extends the transportation cycle. Moreover, due to the inadequate port facilities around uninhabited islands, ships face numerous inconveniences in docking and unloading materials, further increasing transportation costs. Statistics show that using shipping to transport materials for the construction of base stations on uninhabited islands results in an average transportation cycle of several weeks, with costs 3-5 times higher than conventional land transportation.
[0004] Manual handling is even more inadequate for the practical needs of base station construction on uninhabited islands. Uninhabited islands have complex terrain, often consisting of mountains, steep slopes, and dense jungles, making manual handling not only extremely inefficient but also incredibly labor-intensive. The materials needed for base station construction, such as communication equipment, cables, cement, and steel, are heavy and irregularly shaped, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries during manual handling. Furthermore, manual handling suffers from limited transport capacity and difficulty in ensuring timely material delivery, failing to meet the large-scale, high-efficiency construction requirements of base station projects.
[0005] Although some equipment for transporting materials to remote areas, such as drones, has appeared on the market, most of the existing drone material carrying devices are inconvenient to adjust, which leads to significant limitations in their use and makes them inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a remotely controlled material transport device for the construction of unmanned island base stations, which has the advantage of being easy to use.
[0007] This utility model provides a remote-controlled material transport device for the construction of unmanned island base stations, comprising a drone body, an installation mechanism at the bottom of the drone body, a support frame below the drone body, a first mounting groove on both the front and rear sides of the support frame, and a plurality of first mounting grooves, a connecting frame on the surface of the support frame, a plurality of connecting frames, a first bolt inside the connecting frame, the first bolt being threadedly connected to the first mounting groove, a receiving platform fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame, a sliding groove on both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the receiving platform, a movable storage frame slidably connected inside the sliding groove, the movable storage frame fitting against the receiving platform, a second bolt inside the movable storage frame, a second mounting groove on the bottom of the receiving platform, and a plurality of second mounting grooves, the second bolt being threadedly connected to the second mounting groove.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting mechanism includes a fixing plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body. T-shaped grooves are provided on both sides of the front of the fixing plate. A mounting bracket is slidably connected inside the T-shaped groove, and the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the support frame.
[0009] Preferably, the fixing plate has a locking frame that slides inside. The front and rear sides of the left side of the mounting frame are provided with openings. The locking frame is inserted into the openings. A tension spring is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing plate. The end of the tension spring away from the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the locking frame. The surface of the tension spring is coated with anti-rust paint.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the movable storage box is fixedly connected with two support legs.
[0011] Preferably, a semicircular ring is fixedly connected to the top of the movable storage frame, and the number of semicircular rings is several.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting bracket is fixedly connected to the front of the mounting bracket, the back of the limiting bracket is in contact with the front of the fixing plate, a third bolt is provided on the surface of the limiting bracket, a third mounting groove is provided on the front of the fixing plate, and the third bolt is threadedly connected to the third mounting groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model adopts a bottom mounting mechanism for the drone body to connect to the support frame. The support frame is connected to the first mounting groove via a connecting frame, a first bolt, and a threaded connection to achieve adjustable installation. The bottom sliding groove of the receiving platform slides and engages with the movable storage frame, and is locked to the second mounting groove via a second bolt, forming a modular load-bearing system that can be flexibly adjusted. This design effectively solves the problems of inconvenient adjustment and poor adaptability of traditional drone material transportation devices. The support frame can adjust its lateral span according to the material size, avoiding space waste and time-consuming disassembly and assembly. This makes the device highly efficient, flexible, and safe in the transportation of complex materials on unmanned islands, significantly reducing transportation costs and time losses. The device is easy to use and has good conveying effect. 2. This utility model achieves tool-free quick disassembly and assembly of the drone body and the support frame by sliding the T-shaped groove at the bottom of the fixing plate in the mounting mechanism with the mounting frame. The mounting frame is directly fixed to the support frame. This structure automatically calibrates the central axis through the limiting effect of the T-slot, avoiding repeated alignment during traditional bolt fixing. A single person can complete the installation or disassembly within minutes, significantly improving response efficiency in emergency scenarios. At the same time, the closed structure of the T-slot fits tightly with the mounting frame, resisting high-frequency vibration, ensuring connection stability, reducing the risk of material falling due to loosening, and the integrated design simplifies the structure, reduces the probability of failure, and adapts to the inconvenient maintenance environment of uninhabited islands, providing a reliable hardware foundation for the continuous transportation of various types of materials.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a remotely controlled material transport device for the construction of an unmanned island base station includes a drone body 1, an installation mechanism 2 at the bottom of the drone body 1, a support frame 3 below the drone body 1, a first mounting groove on the front and rear sides of both sides of the support frame 3, and a number of first mounting grooves; a connecting frame 4 on the surface of the support frame 3, and four connecting frames 4; a first bolt 5 inside the connecting frame 4, the first bolt 5 being threadedly connected to the first mounting groove; a receiving platform 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 4, a sliding groove on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the receiving platform 6, and a movable storage frame 7 slidably connected inside the sliding groove, the movable storage frame 7 fitting against the receiving platform 6; a second bolt 8 inside the movable storage frame 7; and a second mounting groove on the bottom of the receiving platform 6, and a number of second mounting grooves, the second bolt 8 being threadedly connected to the second mounting groove.
[0021] refer to Figure 3 The installation mechanism 2 includes a fixing plate 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body 1. T-slots are provided on both sides of the front of the fixing plate 9, and a mounting frame 10 is slidably connected inside the T-slots. The mounting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the support frame 3. Through the slidable connection between the T-slots at the bottom of the fixing plate 9 and the mounting frame 10, the mounting frame 10 is directly fixed to the support frame 3, enabling tool-free rapid assembly and disassembly of the drone body 1 and the support frame 3. This structure automatically calibrates the central axis through the limiting effect of the T-slots, avoiding repeated alignment required by traditional bolt fixing. A single person can complete installation or disassembly within minutes, significantly improving response efficiency in emergency scenarios. Simultaneously, the closed structure of the T-slots fits tightly against the mounting frame 10, resisting high-frequency vibration, ensuring connection stability, reducing the risk of material falling due to loosening, and simplifying the structure with an integrated design, reducing the probability of failure, adapting to the inconvenient maintenance environment of unmanned islands, and providing a reliable hardware foundation for the continuous transportation of various types of materials.
[0022] refer to Figure 3A locking frame 11 is slidably connected inside the fixing plate 9. The mounting bracket 10 has openings 15 on both the front and rear sides of its left side. The locking frame 11 is inserted into the openings 15. A tension spring 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing plate 9. The end of the tension spring 12 furthest from the fixing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the locking frame 11. The surface of the tension spring 12 is coated with anti-rust paint. The locking frame 11 passes through the fixing plate 9 and inserts into the opening 15 of the mounting bracket 10. Combined with the preload of the tension spring 12, automatic locking is achieved, forming a dual-protection structure of "mechanical preload + manual unlocking". The locking frame 11 is made of high-strength material and can withstand tensile forces far exceeding those of flight vibrations. The continuous tension applied by the tension spring 12 ensures a durable locking state, avoiding "false locking" problems caused by operator negligence or vibration. It can effectively prevent the mounting frame 10 from falling off in severe weather such as strong winds and heavy rain. The manual unlocking design requires no tools and is easy to operate. This structure provides high reliability for the connection between the UAV and the carrier device, significantly reducing the risk of material falling off and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment during transportation. It is especially suitable for long-term use in the complex environment of unmanned islands. For example, when the operator needs to disassemble the mounting frame 10, the operator pulls the locking frame 11 to the left until the locking frame 11 separates from the opening 15, thereby releasing the lock on the mounting frame 10. Then the operator can pull the mounting frame 10 out to the front to complete the disassembly of the mounting frame 10.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the movable storage box 7 is fixedly connected with two support legs 17. The support legs 17 at the bottom of the movable storage box 7 are made of aluminum alloy, which has the advantages of high hardness and resistance to deformation. The support legs 17 can prevent the second bolt 8 from contacting the ground, thereby ensuring the safety of the second bolt 8.
[0024] refer to Figure 2 The top of the movable storage frame 7 is fixedly connected with several semicircular rings 16. These semicircular rings 16 are evenly distributed along the edge of the top of the movable storage frame 7, and their arc-shaped structure is integrally formed with the storage frame, providing a multi-point binding and fixing solution for irregular materials such as long strips of steel and coiled cables. The arc-shaped surface of the semicircular rings 16 reduces wear on the binding ropes, extending their service life. The high-strength material can withstand greater tensile force, ensuring that materials are effectively restrained during transportation, with displacement controlled within a minimal range, avoiding the risk of collision damage or detachment due to shaking. The multi-point distribution adapts to the fixing needs of materials of different sizes, and the integrated design enhances structural strength, enabling the device to reliably transport special materials used in base station construction, significantly expanding application scenarios and improving the transportation capacity for complex materials.
[0025] refer to Figure 3The front of the mounting frame 10 is fixedly connected to a limiting frame 13, and the back of the limiting frame 13 is in contact with the front of the fixing plate 9. A third bolt 14 is provided on the surface of the limiting frame 13, and a third mounting groove is provided on the front of the fixing plate 9. The third bolt 14 is threadedly connected to the third mounting groove. By having the limiting frame 13 in contact with the front of the fixing plate 9 and the third bolt 14 threadedly connected to the third mounting groove, a double limiting and rigid reinforcement structure for the mounting frame 10 is formed. The limiting frame 13 covers the sliding contact surface between the mounting frame 10 and the fixing plate 9, preventing wear of the T-groove and lateral or longitudinal displacement of the mounting frame 10 due to long-term high-frequency use. The preload of the third bolt 14 changes the connection from a sliding state to a rigid fixation, effectively resisting high-frequency vibrations during flight and ensuring the stability of the UAV's center of gravity. The detachable design makes it convenient to adjust the position when needed, taking into account both adjustment efficiency and structural stability. It solves the problem of loosening after long-term use of traditional devices, ensuring equipment reliability in large-scale, high-frequency transportation scenarios and providing stable transportation support for the continuous construction of unmanned island base stations.
[0026] When using the remote-controlled material transport device for the construction of unmanned island base stations, this utility model includes the following steps.
[0027] I. Component Inventory and Inspection: Inspect core components, confirming the drone body 1 is undamaged, propellers rotate smoothly, battery power is sufficient (≥80% recommended), and remote control system signal receiver, camera, etc., are functioning normally. Inspect support frame 3, connecting frame 4, receiving platform 6, and movable storage frame 7 for deformation or cracks. Ensure all component surfaces are free of burrs and debris, and that sliding contact surfaces, such as grooves and T-slots, are clean and unobstructed. Verify connecting components, checking bolts 5, 8, 14, and 15 one by one. Match the nuts, confirm that the threads are free from wear and stripping, and that the bolt length matches the corresponding mounting slots, the first mounting slot, the second mounting slot, and the third mounting slot; pull the locking bracket 11 and test the elasticity of the tension spring 12. The locking bracket 11 should be able to be easily pulled out to unlock, and after being released, it should automatically reset under the action of the tension spring 12 and lock into the through-hole 15 of the mounting bracket 10 without any jamming or loosening; check whether the connection between the support leg 17 and the bottom of the movable storage frame 7 is firm, whether there are any cracks at the weld of the semi-circular ring 16, whether the material is free from rust, and especially whether the oxide film on the surface of the aluminum alloy support leg 17 is intact. II. Assembly of UAV and Support Frame 3: Position the mounting bracket 10, place the main body 1 of the UAV horizontally on a flat ground with the bottom facing up, exposing the bottom fixing plate 9; then pull the locking bracket 11, take the mounting bracket 10 that matches the support frame 3, align it with the T-shaped grooves on both sides of the front of the fixing plate 9, and slowly push it in along the T-shaped grooves until the mounting bracket 10 and the fixing plate 9 are completely fitted together, ensuring that the through 15 on the mounting bracket 10 is aligned with the locking bracket 11 on the left side of the fixing plate 9; operate the locking mechanism, release the locking bracket 11, and confirm that it is fully inserted into the through 15 under the action of the tension spring 12. At this time, the mounting bracket 10 cannot move back and forth; install the limiting bracket 13, attach the limiting bracket 13 to the front of the fixing plate 9, cover the front end of the mounting bracket 10, and use the third bolt 14 to pass through the screw hole of the limiting bracket 13 and connect it to the third mounting groove of the fixing plate 9. Tighten clockwise until there is no gap between the limiting bracket 13 and the fixing plate 9, forming a limit on the front end of the mounting bracket 10. III. Adjustment of the bearing system: Based on the overall height of the material, loosen the first bolt 5 on the connecting frame 4 (a total of 4 bolts) and adjust the height of the connecting frame 4. After adjustment, tighten the first bolt 5 one by one to ensure that the connecting frame 4 and the support frame 3 are firmly fixed and without shaking. At this time, the height of the connecting frame 4 is locked, and the distance between the receiving platform 6 and the main body of the UAV 1 is at a suitable distance.
[0028] The operator can adjust the left and right position of the movable storage frame 7 according to the volume, quantity, or width of the material. After adjusting the movable storage frame 7 to the correct position, the operator screws in the second bolt 8 from the bottom of the movable storage frame 7, passing it through the screw hole at the bottom of the storage frame and threadedly connecting it to the second mounting slot of the receiving platform 6, ensuring no relative displacement between the storage frame and the receiving platform 6. Materials can be placed inside the receiving platform 6 and the movable storage frame 7. The operator can use binding ropes and semi-circular rings 16 to limit the material's movement, thus preventing it from falling and improving the efficiency of material transportation.
