Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, most drone carrying devices on the market are single-unit protective cases or simple backpacks, designed primarily for the storage and transport protection of a single device. These products typically use rigid cases lined with foam or custom molds, effectively resisting impacts, vibrations, and harsh weather, ensuring the safety of the drone and its accessories during movement. However, these carrying devices cannot support the rapid, continuous deployment of multiple drones. Their cases are usually single-layered and have limited space, allowing only one drone to be loaded and unloaded at a time. Before takeoff, a series of tedious preparations, such as manually removing, unfolding, and placing the drone on a flat surface, are required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The takeoff of each drone depends on manual operation by the pilot, greatly limiting operational efficiency and making it almost impossible to quickly deploy drone swarms for collaborative operations. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a drone-carrying equipment designed to enable rapid and mobile deployment of drone swarms.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a drone-carrying equipment, comprising:

[0005] The container has a carrying structure on one side and an open end at the top. Multiple drones are stacked inside the container. Multiple guide pillars are vertically arranged at the bottom of the container. The guide pillars are circumferentially distributed on the outside of the drones and abut against the edges of the drones. The drones can take off sequentially along the guide pillars.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the open end is hinged to a protective cover, which is fastened to the open end.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the protective cover has a gripping portion on the side near the back structure.

[0008] In one possible implementation, a snap-fit ​​strip is circumferentially protruding from the edge of the open end, and the protective cover snaps onto the snap-fit ​​strip.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the guide posts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the UAV, with two guide posts on each side.

[0010] This utility model's technical solution ensures excellent mobility through a backpack-style design, facilitating long-distance travel or rapid relocation to the work site for operators. The large open top of the housing, combined with a four-point symmetrically distributed guide column system inside, forms a stable vertical launch shaft, accurately guiding UAVs to take off sequentially, quickly, and vertically, completely avoiding shaking, collisions, or jamming during takeoff, greatly improving deployment speed and reliability. The hinged protective cover achieves rapid opening and closing and tight sealing through circumferential locking strips, providing comprehensive protection during transportation and allowing for quick opening during operation, ready for immediate deployment. The ergonomic grip design on the cover further optimizes human-machine interaction, enabling blind operation even when wearing gloves or in harsh environments, ensuring swift and accurate opening. This solution perfectly integrates mobility, protection, rapid response, and high reliability, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring rapid UAV swarm takeoff, such as reconnaissance, emergency rescue, and surveying.

[0016] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 2This utility model proposes a drone 3 carrying equipment, including a box 1, a back structure 2 on one side of the box 1, an open end formed on the top of the box 1, multiple drones 3 stacked inside the box 1, and multiple guide columns 4 vertically arranged at the bottom of the box 1. The guide columns 4 are distributed circumferentially on the outside of the drones 3 and abut against the edge of the drones 3. The drones 3 can take off upwards along the guide columns 4 in sequence.

[0019] Understandably, the case 1 is the main body of the entire equipment, made of relatively sturdy materials. Its function is to house and protect the internal drones 3, preventing damage from collisions, compression, or severe weather during transport. The carrying structure 2 is located on one side of the case 1 and can be a shoulder strap, shoulder strap, and waist belt, or a combination thereof. This allows the operator to carry the entire equipment on their back like a backpack, facilitating foot mobility, long-distance transport, or rapid relocation, perfectly meeting the needs of scenarios such as field operations or emergency response. The top of the case is open, serving as the takeoff exit for the drones 3, through which all drones 3 must fly out sequentially. The case does not house just one drone 3, but rather multiple drones are stacked vertically like plates, greatly increasing the number of drones 3 that can be carried and deployed at once, suitable for tasks requiring drone swarm operations.

[0020] Several pillars are vertically installed at the bottom of the container, forming a circle around the stacked drones 3. In this example, four pillars are located at the four corners, with the inner sides of the pillars tightly against the edge of each drone 3's fuselage. When the top drone 3 starts up and prepares for takeoff, it rises vertically. The guide pillars 4 act like rails or tracks, ensuring that the drones 3 rise vertically without swaying, deviating, or colliding with adjacent guide pillars 4 or other drones 3 within the container, guaranteeing absolute stability and safety during takeoff. After the first drone 3 takes off, the second drone 3 is exposed, and so on, taking off in sequence. The entire process is orderly and efficient. Simultaneously, during transport, the guide pillars 4 also play a crucial role in securing and protecting the drones, confining each layer of drones 3 to a central position and preventing them from swaying or colliding within the container, thus avoiding damage during transportation.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, a protective cover 5 is hinged to the open end, and the protective cover 5 is fastened to the open end.

[0022] Understandably, a cover that can be opened and closed is provided at the opening on the top of the housing 1. In this example, the protective cover 5 is connected to the housing 1 by a hinge or hinge, which is simple and efficient and can be opened quickly. Alternatively, a structure such as an electric rotating shaft can be used to achieve electric operation.

[0023] The main function of the protective cover 5 is to provide protection, preventing dust, rain, dew and other substances from entering the box and protecting the delicate and fragile drone 3 and its equipment; during carrying and transportation, it prevents external collisions and scratches from directly damaging the top drone 3; and it prevents leaves, gravel and other debris from falling into the box, jamming the drone 3 or the guiding mechanism, and affecting takeoff.

[0024] When the lid is closed, it can be tightly closed with the case 1 by means of a buckle, lock or fastener, ensuring the stability of the lid. When carried or moved, the lid will not pop open by itself due to shaking. At the same time, it also has a certain degree of sealing, which can better achieve the effect of dustproof and waterproof.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the protective cover 5 is provided with a gripping part 51 on the side near the back structure 2.

[0026] Understandably, a convenient gripping area or component is provided on the surface of the protective cover 5, near the user's back. When the user wears this equipment, their hands can naturally reach behind their shoulders. The grip 51 is located in this most natural, convenient, and easily accessible position. The user can easily find and operate the cover with their hands without twisting their body or struggling to find a point of leverage.

[0027] The grip 51 can be a groove, a raised handle, a non-slip strip, or an embedded pull, providing a dedicated area for hand gripping and applying force. Since opening a tightly sealed lid can require considerable force, a smooth lid makes it difficult to apply pressure. The grip 51 provides a perfect point of leverage, allowing the user to apply force and open the lid more easily and quickly, especially when wearing gloves or with wet hands. In field, emergency, or military scenarios, the operator's hands may be wet, muddy, or wearing heavy gloves, making a simple smooth lid difficult to grip. The grip 51 ensures a firm grip even under less than ideal conditions, preventing slippage and enabling precise and reliable operation.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, a snap-fit ​​strip 6 is provided circumferentially on the edge of the open end, and the protective cover 5 is snap-fitted and limited to the snap-fit ​​strip 6.

[0029] Understandably, the snap-fit ​​strip 6 is located at the edge of the open end of the housing 1, forming a raised, fence-like structure around the edge of the open end. If the inner side of the protective cover 5 is equipped with a sealing ring, when the cover is closed, the sealing ring will fit tightly against the side or top of the snap-fit ​​strip 6, forming a dustproof and waterproof barrier. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​strip 6 is the force point for the protective cover 5 to close. The cover will lock tightly against the snap-fit ​​strip 6. When the protective cover 5 is closed and locked, the snap-fit ​​strip 6 and the cover work together to ensure that the cover remains tightly and securely closed under any movement.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, guide posts 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the UAV 3, and two guide posts 4 are provided on each side.

[0031] Understandably, the distribution of all guide pillars 4 is symmetrical, providing balanced guiding and supporting forces to the drone 3. This prevents the drone 3 from tilting, rubbing, or even getting stuck during takeoff due to uneven force distribution. Two pillars on each side form a four-point guiding system, like a precise guide rail frame, perfectly encasing the drone 3 in the center. This four-point support creates a stable rectangular constraint area, providing better vertical movement constraint than a three-point support system. It effectively prevents the drone 3 from swaying or rotating forward, backward, left, or right during takeoff, ensuring a strictly vertical ascent. If there were only one guide pillar 4 on each side, the drone 3 might twist during ascent due to slight thrust imbalance, causing the arms to rub against the guide pillar 4. The design of two pillars on each side, totaling four, provides limits in all four directions (forward, backward, left, and right) of the drone 3, firmly locking its horizontal attitude and fundamentally preventing any directional deviation or rotation, thus eliminating the risk of jamming.

[0032] In addition, this layout is very suitable for the most common quadcopter, hexacopter and other multi-rotor drones on the market. Their arms are usually symmetrically distributed, and the guide pillars can perfectly avoid the rotors, only contacting and guiding the main body of the frame or the landing gear.

[0033] This utility model's technical solution ensures excellent mobility through a backpack design, facilitating long-distance travel or rapid relocation to the work site for operators. The large opening at the top of the housing 1, combined with the internal four-point symmetrically distributed guide column system, forms a stable vertical launch shaft, accurately guiding the UAVs 3 to take off sequentially, quickly, and vertically, completely avoiding shaking, collisions, or jamming during takeoff, greatly improving deployment speed and reliability. The hinged protective cover 5 achieves rapid opening and closing and tight sealing through circumferential locking strips 6, providing comprehensive protection during transportation and allowing for quick opening during operation, ready for immediate deployment. The ergonomic grip 51 on the cover further optimizes human-machine interaction, enabling blind operation even when wearing gloves or in harsh environments, ensuring swift and accurate opening. This solution perfectly integrates mobility, protection, rapid response, and high reliability, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring rapid takeoff of UAV swarms, such as reconnaissance, emergency rescue, and surveying.
