Vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle taking-off and landing platform

Abstract

This utility model provides a vehicle-mounted drone take-off and landing platform, relating to the field of drone technology. It includes a roof rack, with bolt holes on the surface of each connecting pile. A shock-absorbing damper is installed on the upper side of each connecting pile, and a limit rod is provided on the outer side of the shock-absorbing damper. A foot support plate is welded to the top of the shock-absorbing damper, and an electrically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly is provided in the middle of each foot support plate. As the drone lands on the foot support plate, the shock-absorbing damper can adaptively reduce the impact force during landing through its own rebound effect. Furthermore, during vehicle movement, it can alleviate vibrations to a certain extent when encountering bumpy environments, protecting the drone and equipment. The limit rod acts as an auxiliary support during the operation of the shock-absorbing damper. When the shock-absorbing damper exceeds the limiting range of the retaining ring on the outer side of the limit rod, the retaining ring will rigidly limit the movement with the bolt hole, thereby preventing excessive compression or stretching of the shock-absorbing damper.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted UAV take-off and landing platform. Background Technology

[0002] A vehicle-mounted drone take-off and landing platform is a dedicated take-off and landing device for drones integrated into a vehicle. It is compatible with various types of drones and enables rapid deployment through vehicle mobility. It solves the problem of drone take-off and landing in complex terrain. The platform usually has anti-slip, buffer, and positioning calibration functions, and some include automatic recovery and charging systems. It can complete drone take-off and landing while on the move and is widely used in emergency rescue, inspection and mapping, security patrol and other scenarios to improve the flexibility and response speed of drone operations. It is a key piece of equipment for ground and air collaborative operations.

[0003] A search revealed that the document with publication number "CN219134582U" states that "this utility model relates to the field of UAV take-off and landing platform technology, and discloses a vehicle-mounted UAV take-off and landing platform, including a take-off and landing platform, which is configured as a semi-cylinder, and the outside of the take-off and landing platform is provided with a rotating cover, which is configured as a semi-cylindrical shell with the same shape as the take-off and landing platform. The inside of the rotating cover is provided with a main shaft that penetrates the take-off and landing platform and the rotating cover, and both the take-off and landing platform and the rotating cover can rotate around the main shaft." In use, this utility model adds a take-off and landing platform, a first bearing, and a main shaft, and sets the take-off and landing platform as a semi-cylinder. Then, the take-off and landing platform and the main shaft are connected through the first bearing. No matter how the vehicle is tilted, the take-off and landing platform will rotate around the main shaft due to gravity, so that the take-off and landing platform always remains perpendicular to the ground, which facilitates safer take-off and landing operations for UAVs on the take-off and landing platform.

[0004] However, traditional vehicle-mounted drone take-off and landing platforms often use simple support plates for support, followed by fixed structures to limit the drone's legs to achieve a fixing effect. However, this method has poor fixing strength, and during landing, it requires a high level of technical skill from the drone operator, making position calibration difficult. Furthermore, after the drone is fixed to the take-off and landing platform, when the vehicle is in motion or encounters bumpy roads, the drone is easily affected by vibration and impact, leading to a decrease in its stability. Alternatively, it may rely solely on basic components such as springs for cushioning, lacking an effective limiting and precise positioning mechanism.

[0005] Therefore, we provide a vehicle-mounted drone take-off and landing platform to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A vehicle-mounted UAV take-off and landing platform includes a roof frame. A UAV take-off and landing support assembly is mounted on the upper side of the roof frame.

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

[0015] Each of the side frames of the pallet is provided with a shaft clip in the middle. A driven shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of the shaft clip. A load-bearing connecting plate is welded to the outside of the driven shaft. A bearing connecting shaft is installed on the inner wall of the load-bearing connecting plate. A hydraulic rod is connected to the outside of the bearing connecting shaft. An electro-hydraulic pump is installed on the lower side of the foot support plate. The hydraulic rod and the electro-hydraulic pump are connected by a shaft. The hydraulic rod and the load-bearing connecting plate form a rotating structure through the bearing connecting shaft. The driven shaft rotates through the shaft clip.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. This utility model utilizes a drone take-off and landing support component. When needed, as the drone lands on the footrest support, the shock-absorbing damping, through its own rebound effect, adaptively reduces the impact force during landing, ensuring a smooth landing. Furthermore, during vehicle movement, it can alleviate vibrations in bumpy environments, protecting the drone and equipment. The limiting bolt acts as an auxiliary support during the operation of the shock-absorbing damping, thereby improving its operational safety. When the shock-absorbing damping exceeds the limiting range of the outer retaining ring of the limiting bolt, the retaining ring will rigidly limit the damping with the bolt hole, preventing excessive compression or stretching of the shock-absorbing damping and ensuring the footrest support will not detach under complex road conditions. The angular support force provides support and limitation for the footrest support. When the electronic controller senses the drone's impending landing, it activates the electronically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly. As the drone prepares to land on the footrest support, the attraction generated by the electronically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly attracts the drone's footrest, assisting in position calibration.

[0022] 2. This utility model utilizes a drone take-off and landing support assembly. When the drone's landing gear rests on the landing gear support plate, the electro-hydraulic pump controls the hydraulic rod to extend. This extension, via the bearing connecting shaft, pushes the force-bearing connecting plate, causing the driven rotating shaft to rotate along the shaft clamp. This provides power support for the opening and closing of the gripper, ensuring that the gripper can stably hold the drone's landing gear. When takeoff is required, the hydraulic rod is retracted in the opposite direction to release the drone's landing gear. The single-finger gripper, in conjunction with the two-finger gripper, moves inward synchronously to limit the drone's landing gear. The interlocking of the single-finger and two-finger grippers enhances the gripper's stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a vehicle-mounted UAV take-off and landing platform, including a roof frame 1, a UAV take-off and landing support assembly 2 installed on the upper side of the roof frame 1, the UAV take-off and landing support assembly 2 including connecting posts 201 all screwed to the upper side of the roof frame 1, bolt holes 202 are opened on the surface of the connecting posts 201, a shock-absorbing damper 203 is installed on the upper side of the connecting posts 201, and a limit rod 204 is provided on the outer side of the shock-absorbing damper 203. The top of 203 is welded with a foot support plate 205. Each foot support plate 205 is equipped with an electrically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly 206 in the middle. Each foot support plate 205 is equipped with a support plate side frame 207 on the outside. The top of the foot support plate 205 is equipped with a drone foot rod 215. The middle of the foot support plate 205 is welded with a support plate connecting rod 216. An electronic controller 217 is installed in the middle of the support plate connecting rod 216. A drone calibration probe 218 is installed on the top of the electronic controller 217.

[0030] Furthermore, the shock absorber 203 is welded to the connecting pile 201, and the shock absorber 203 and the connecting pile 201 are set one-to-one. There are four sets of shock absorbers 203. The connecting pile 201 and the foot support plate 205 are supported by the shock absorber 203. There are two sets of foot support plates 205 arranged in parallel. When needed, after the drone lands on the foot support plate 205, the shock absorber 203 can adaptively reduce the impact force when the drone lands through its own rebound effect, ensuring a smooth landing. In addition, during vehicle movement, when encountering bumpy environments, it can alleviate vibration to a certain extent and protect the safety of the drone and equipment.

[0031] Furthermore, the limiting bolt 204 and the footplate 205 are welded together. The limiting bolt 204 passes through the inner side of the bolt hole 202. The limiting bolt 204 and the bolt hole 202 are arranged in two parallel sets. The limiting bolt 204 and the shock-absorbing damper 203 are arranged in a group. When needed, the limiting bolt 204 can act as an auxiliary support during the operation of the shock-absorbing damper 203, thereby improving the operational safety of the shock-absorbing damper 203. When the shock-absorbing damper 203 exceeds the limiting range of the outer retaining ring of the limiting bolt 204, the retaining ring will be rigidly limited with the bolt hole 202, thereby preventing the shock-absorbing damper 203 from being over-compressed or stretched, ensuring that the footplate 205 will not fall off under complex road conditions, and providing support and limiting for the footplate 205 through angular support force.

[0032] Furthermore, the electrically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly 206 is welded to the footrest plate 205, and the electrically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly 206 is electrically connected to the electronic controller 217. When the electronic controller 217 senses that the drone is about to land, the electronic controller 217 will control the electrically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly 206 to start. When the drone is about to land on the footrest plate 205, the attraction generated by the electrically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly 206 will attract the drone footrest 215, thereby assisting the drone footrest 215 in position calibration.

[0033] Furthermore, each of the side brackets 207 of the pallet is provided with a shaft clip 208 in the middle, and a driven shaft 209 is rotatably connected to the middle of the shaft clip 208. A load-bearing connecting plate 210 is welded to the outside of the driven shaft 209, and a bearing connecting shaft 211 is installed on the inner wall of the load-bearing connecting plate 210. A hydraulic rod 212 is connected to the outside of the bearing connecting shaft 211. An electro-hydraulic pump 213 is installed on the lower side of the foot support plate 205. The hydraulic rod 212 and the electro-hydraulic pump 213 are connected by a shaft. The hydraulic rod 212 and the load-bearing connecting plate 210 form a rotating structure through the bearing connecting shaft 211. The driven shaft 209 rotates through the shaft clip 208. The hydraulic rod 212 and the load-bearing connecting plate 210 are connected by a shaft. The force-connecting plate 210, in conjunction with the bearing connecting shaft 211, drives the driven rotating shaft 209 to rotate axially along the shaft clamp 208. Two sets of driven rotating shafts 209 are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear. When the drone's foot stick 215 lands on the foot stick support plate 205, the electro-hydraulic pump 213 controls the hydraulic rod 212 to extend, thereby pushing the force-connecting plate 210 through the bearing connecting shaft 211 to drive the driven rotating shaft 209 to rotate along the shaft clamp 208, providing power support for the opening and closing of the gripper 214, ensuring that the gripper 214 can stably hold the drone's foot stick 215. When takeoff is required, the hydraulic rod 212 is retracted in the opposite direction to release the drone's foot stick 215.

[0034] Furthermore, a gripper 214 is welded to the outer side of the driven shaft 209. The gripper 214 located on the outer side is a single finger, and the gripper 214 located on the inner side is a double finger. The grippers 214 interlock with each other. There are two sets of grippers 214 arranged in a single row. The grippers 214 fix the drone legs 215. When needed, the single-finger gripper 214 and the double-finger gripper 214 move inward synchronously to limit the drone legs 215. The interlocking of the single-finger gripper 214 and the double-finger gripper 214 can improve the stability of the gripper 214.

[0035] Furthermore, the drone calibration probe 218 is electrically connected to the electronic controller 217. The drone calibration probe 218 is an infrared camera probe. When needed, the infrared camera function of the drone calibration probe 218 can assist in identifying the position of the drone's landing gear 215 in dim environments, thereby improving the stability of the drone's landing process.

[0036] Working principle: When needed, the entire structure is first installed onto the roof rack 1 via the connecting pile 201. When the drone needs to land, as the drone descends, the drone's landing gear 215 slowly approaches the drone calibration probe 218. After the drone calibration probe 218 detects the drone's status, it activates the electronically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly 206 via the electronic controller 217. As the drone's landing gear 215 gradually approaches the landing gear support plate 205, the electronically controlled neodymium magnet strip assembly 206 generates magnetic traction, attracting the drone's landing gear 215 to the landing gear support plate 205. During the descent, the impact force generated is damped by the shock absorber 203. After the initial impact is absorbed and the drone lands, the electro-hydraulic pump 213 will supply pressure to the hydraulic rod 212, causing the hydraulic rod 212 to push the force-bearing connecting plate 210 through the bearing connecting shaft 211, which in turn drives the driven rotating shaft 209 to rotate along the shaft clamp 208. This causes the gripper 214 to clamp and fix the drone's legs 215. Once fixed, when the vehicle moves with the drone, the resulting bumps will be partially buffered by the shock-absorbing damper 203. When the shock-absorbing damper 203 exceeds its preset range, the limit bolt 204 in the bolt hole 202 will provide rigid traction and support to ensure stability. This completes the usage process of a vehicle-mounted drone take-off and landing platform.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
