Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) command and control technology, and in particular to a UAV ground command and control vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The UAV ground command and control vehicle is a key node in the entire UAV combat and application system. It integrates functions such as mission planning, flight control, data link communication, intelligence processing and display, and serves as a mobile command center to ensure that UAVs complete their predetermined missions. Among the many subsystems of the command and control vehicle, the antenna system is the physical foundation for establishing and maintaining a stable and efficient data link between the vehicle and the UAV. Its pointing accuracy, adjustment flexibility, and environmental adaptability directly determine the communication quality and the effective combat radius of the UAV.

[0003] In existing technologies, the antenna systems of some UAV ground command and control vehicles rely primarily on manual or semi-manual mechanical structures for deployment and adjustment. Typically, the antenna is mounted on a liftable mast or a fixed base. Once the vehicle reaches the designated location, the operator manually operates the lifting mechanism (such as a hand-cranked winch) to raise the antenna to the predetermined height. Subsequently, adjusting the antenna's orientation often requires the operator to use tools to loosen the rotating locking device at the base of the mast, manually rotate the entire antenna mast to the approximate orientation, and then tighten it again. Precise alignment of the antenna's elevation angle also requires loosening the fastening bolts at the connection points, manually manipulating the antenna bracket, repeatedly fine-tuning it with reference to the angle indicator, and then retightening the bolts with tools. When the mission is completed or the vehicle is moved, the reverse process is repeated: the antenna is manually folded or laid flat and physically secured with clips or straps.

[0004] However, the aforementioned antenna adjustment method, which relies on manual labor and tools for multiple steps, has significant drawbacks. The core issue lies in the extreme inconvenience of antenna deployment, adjustment, and storage, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern, highly mobile tasks. First, the entire process is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also requires operators to leave the vehicle for extended periods in inclement weather or emergencies, reducing response speed and creating safety hazards. Second, purely manual azimuth and angle adjustments heavily rely on operator experience, easily introducing human error and making it difficult to achieve rapid and accurate signal alignment. This inefficiency and inaccuracy are particularly pronounced when frequently changing communication targets or dealing with moving targets, failing to guarantee optimal communication links and severely limiting the overall effectiveness and practicality of the command and control vehicle. Therefore, a UAV ground command and control vehicle is proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a ground command and control vehicle for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aiming to improve upon the existing method of adjusting antennas manually and with tools, which is extremely inconvenient. This is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also requires operators to work outside the vehicle, reducing response speed and safety. In addition, manual adjustment has low precision, making it difficult to achieve rapid and accurate signal alignment, which seriously restricts the overall efficiency and practicality of the command and control vehicle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a ground command and control vehicle for unmanned aerial vehicles, including a command and control vehicle body, a roof platform provided on the upper surface of the command and control vehicle body, an electric slide rail fixedly connected to the upper surface of the roof platform, a sliding table slidably connected to the outer wall of the electric slide rail, an antenna one, an antenna two, and an antenna three provided directly above the sliding table, and an adjustment mechanism installed on the upper surface of the sliding table.

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a tilting mechanism, which is disposed on the upper surface of the sliding platform. A connecting frame is disposed on the outside of the tilting mechanism. A mounting shell is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame. A symmetrical motor is fixedly connected inside the mounting shell. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the output end of each of the two motors. The outer wall of one mounting frame is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of antenna one, and the outer wall of the other mounting frame is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of antenna two. Antenna three is disposed on one side of the outer wall of antenna two.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] At least two mounting seats are fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the collapsing mechanism, and a plug rod is slidably connected inside the mounting seat.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The lower surface of the insertion rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding platform, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the insertion rod.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A hinge seat is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate, and a rotating plate stacked on the left and right is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the hinge seat.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] A locking block is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating plate, and a hinge block is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the locking block.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The upper surface of the hinge block is fixedly connected to the top wall of the inner cavity of the insertion rod, and the outer wall of the locking block is engaged with the upper surface of the mounting base.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The upper end of the spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate, and the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the insertion rod.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the electric slide rail can drive antenna one, antenna two and antenna three to move, thereby achieving the effect of multi-directional signal adjustment. At the same time, two motors can be used to adjust antenna one or antenna two on the outside of the mounting bracket for further multi-angle adjustment. In addition, the tilting mechanism can drive the connecting bracket to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of storing the antenna. This solves the problem of the traditional command and control vehicle antenna being inconvenient to adjust, thus improving the practicality of the command and control vehicle.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, the inverted mechanism drives the mounting base to be inserted into the outside of the plug rod, and the spring drives the sliding plate to rise, thereby achieving the effect of driving the rotating plate on the outside of the hinge base to rotate. Then, the rotating plate drives the locking block to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of locking the locking block on the outside of the mounting base for quick installation. When disassembling, pressing the locking block causes the rotating plate to drive the sliding plate to squeeze the spring, thereby achieving the effect of quick disassembly for antenna maintenance, thus improving the practicality of the command and control vehicle.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] 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.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a ground command and control vehicle for unmanned aerial vehicles, including a command and control vehicle body 1 as a system carrier, a roof platform 2 providing an installation base on the upper surface of the command and control vehicle body 1, an electric slide rail 3 for realizing linear movement of the antenna group fixedly connected to the upper surface of the roof platform 2, a sliding table 4 for carrying the entire antenna adjustment system slidably connected to the outer wall of the electric slide rail 3, and an antenna 8, antenna 9 and antenna 10 for signal transmission and reception are centrally arranged directly above the sliding table 4, and an adjustment mechanism for realizing precise control of antenna attitude is installed on the upper surface of the sliding table 4;

[0034] The adjustment mechanism includes a collapsing mechanism 12 for controlling the deployment and retraction of the antenna array. The collapsing mechanism 12 is disposed on the upper surface of the sliding table 4. A connecting frame 5, which serves as the main body for supporting the antenna, is disposed on the outer side of the collapsing mechanism 12. A mounting housing 6 for protecting and integrating the drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame 5. The motor 7, which is arranged symmetrically on both sides and provides precise rotational power, is fixedly connected inside the mounting housing 6. The output ends of the two motors 7 are fixedly connected to mounting frames 11 for transmitting torque. The outer wall of one mounting frame 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of antenna 1 8, while the outer wall of the other mounting frame 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of antenna 2 9. Antenna 3 10 is also attached to one side of the outer wall of antenna 2 9.

[0035] Specifically, the electric slide rail 3 first drives the sliding table 4 to perform a large-scale linear translation to align with the approximate location of the target; then, the two motors 7 mounted on the connecting frame 5 can independently drive the antenna 1 8 and antenna 2 9 to perform precise angular rotation to achieve fine alignment and optimization of the signal; before or after the mission begins, the tilting mechanism 12 is responsible for rotating the entire connecting frame 5 and antenna group from a horizontal storage state to a vertical working state, or vice versa, thereby improving the automation level and response speed of antenna deployment and meeting the high mobility requirements of the command and control vehicle.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-5 At least two mounting seats 13 serving as locking bases are fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the collapsing mechanism 12. The interior of the mounting seats 13 is slidably connected to the insertion rod 14 used for docking and locking. The lower surface of the insertion rod 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding table 4 as a fixed end, and a telescopic rod 15 serving as internal support is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the insertion rod 14. A sliding plate 16 that can move up and down in the inner cavity of the insertion rod 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod 15, and a spring 17 for providing a return force is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 15. A hinge serving as the fulcrum of the linkage mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 16. The outer wall of the hinge seat 18 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 19 arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides; the outer wall of the rotating plate 19 is further rotatably connected to a locking block 20 that performs a locking action, and the inner wall of the locking block 20 is rotatably connected to a hinge block 21; in order to form a complete linkage locking mechanism, the upper surface of the hinge block 21 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the inner cavity of the insert rod 14, and in the locked state, the outer wall of the locking block 20 is used to engage with the upper surface of the mounting seat 13; in order to clarify the action path of the spring 17, the upper end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate 16, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the insert rod 14.

[0037] Specifically, when the collapsing mechanism 12 presses the mounting base 13 down into the insertion rod 14, the pre-set elastic force of the spring 17 pushes the sliding plate 16 upward. Through the lever action of the hinge base 18 and the rotating plate 19, the locking block 20 is driven to rotate outward until it is firmly locked into the preset slot of the mounting base 13, completing the automatic locking. When disassembly or maintenance is required, the operator only needs to press the locking block 20 inward. This action will drive the linkage mechanism in the opposite direction, forcing the sliding plate 16 to move downward and compress the spring 17, causing the locking block 20 to disengage from the mounting base 13, thereby achieving quick unlocking and separation. This design greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the antenna assembly and improves the efficiency of maintenance and deployment.

[0038] Working principle: When the UAV ground control vehicle is needed, firstly, the tilting mechanism 12 is activated, causing the connecting frame 5, which carries antennas 8, 9, and 10, to rotate from its flat, stored state to its vertical, operational state. During this process, the mounting base 13 on the connecting frame 5 is fitted onto the outside of the insert rod 14 fixed to the upper surface of the sliding table 4. Once the mounting base 13 is in place, the spring 17 inside the insert rod 14, being in its naturally extended state, pushes the sliding plate 16 to remain in its upper position. Through the linkage between the hinge 18 and the rotating plate 19, this upward force causes the rotating plate 19 to rotate its outer locking block 20 inward, ultimately causing the structural surface of the locking block 20 to firmly engage with the outer wall of the mounting base 13, thus completing the rapid and automatic locking of the entire antenna array and firmly establishing it on the sliding table 4.

[0039] Secondly, once the antenna deployment is locked, precise signal adjustment can be performed. The operator can activate the electric slide rail 3 on the roof platform 2. The electric slide rail 3 then drives the sliding platform 4 and the entire antenna system to move linearly, achieving the first dimension of antenna signal orientation adjustment. Based on this, the two motors 7 inside the mounting housing 6 can be activated independently or simultaneously. One motor 7 drives antenna 8 to perform precise angular rotation via its output mounting bracket 11, while the other motor 7 similarly drives antenna 9 to perform multi-angle adjustments, thereby achieving refined, multi-degree-of-freedom signal alignment for optimal communication performance.

[0040] Finally, when the task is completed or maintenance is required, the operator simply presses the locking block 20 by hand. This pressing action, through the lever action of the rotating plate 19 and the hinge seat 18, forces the sliding plate 16 downward, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 17 and causing it to move down. The downward movement of the sliding plate 16 releases the driving force on the rotating plate 19, allowing the locking block 20 to disengage from the mounting base 13, thereby quickly releasing the lock. After unlocking, the tilting mechanism 12 can be restarted to rotate the connecting frame 5 to a flat position to store the antenna; alternatively, the entire connecting frame 5, along with the antenna, can be directly detached from the insertion rod 14 for quick maintenance and repair. The entire process requires no tools and is easy to operate.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
