Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone charging device technology, and in particular to a drone rooftop charging device with a lifting platform. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and onboard program control devices. Integrating cutting-edge achievements from multiple fields such as aviation, electronics, and communication, UAVs possess significant characteristics including flexibility, ease of operation, and rapid deployment. They are widely used in numerous fields such as logistics and distribution, surveying and exploration, agricultural plant protection, and emergency rescue. However, as the application scenarios of UAVs continue to expand, their battery life has become increasingly prominent, becoming a key factor restricting large-scale, long-term UAV operations. Currently, UAVs mainly rely on manual battery replacement or returning to ground charging stations for charging. These methods not only consume a lot of manpower and time but also limit the operational range and efficiency of UAVs. Rooftop charging for UAVs has many outstanding advantages: firstly, rooftop space is open with minimal signal interference, which is conducive to accurate landing and stable charging of UAVs; secondly, placing the charging device on the roof reduces the occupation of ground space and improves land use efficiency. Furthermore, rooftop charging allows drones to quickly resume their missions, improving operational continuity. However, current rooftop charging devices have significant limitations in practical applications. While they provide landing sites for drones and meet basic parking needs, current drone charging devices offer both wireless and wired charging options. Although wireless charging eliminates the need for manual connection, it is prone to interruptions due to external factors, affecting charging efficiency. Wired charging provides a more stable connection, but it heavily relies on manual labor. After the drone is parked, the user must manually connect the drone's charging port to the charging connector to initiate the charging process. This process is not only labor-intensive but also reduces overall efficiency, failing to achieve the desired automation. Therefore, this utility model is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the technical defects of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rooftop charging device for drones with a lifting platform, which can achieve automatic charging. The lifting component can drive the receiving platform to rise and fall, so that the charging connector can move to the bottom of the receiving platform. The fixing component can limit and fix the drone that has landed on the receiving platform. Then the lifting component drives the receiving platform to reset, so that the charging connector can connect with the charging port of the drone, thereby realizing automatic charging of the drone and improving the automation level of rooftop charging.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: It includes a mounting plate, with a support column fixedly mounted at the lower end of the mounting plate. A mounting box is fixedly mounted at the middle of the upper end of the mounting plate. A battery is fixedly mounted inside the mounting box, and a charging connector is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the battery. The upper end of the charging connector extends to the outside of the mounting box. Lifting components are mounted on both sides of the upper end of the mounting plate, located on both sides of the mounting box. A receiving platform is mounted on the upper end of the lifting components, and a fixing component for fixing the drone is mounted on the receiving platform. In use, the structure is first fixed to the external roof by the support column. Before the drone lands, the lifting components drive the receiving platform to rise and fall, facilitating the drone's landing. Once the drone lands on the receiving platform, the fixing component secures the drone. Subsequently, the lifting components drive the receiving platform to reset, allowing the charging connector to connect with the drone's charging port for automated charging.

[0005] Preferably, in order to fix the structure to the external roof, the lower end of each support column is fixedly installed with a rubber pad, and the lower upper end of each support column is provided with a circumferential array of fixing holes, in which fixing bolts are provided, and the lower end of the fixing bolts is threaded to the external location of use.

[0006] Preferably, in order to provide power to the battery, a connecting wire is fixedly installed at the lower end of the battery, the other end of the connecting wire passes through the mounting plate and is electrically connected to an external power source, and the upper end of the charging connector is located outside and above the receiving platform.

[0007] Preferably, in order to allow the lifting plate to be slidably engaged with the guide rod, the lifting assembly includes a guide rod, which is fixedly installed at the four upper corners of the mounting plate, and the lifting plate is sleeved on the guide rod. The receiving platform is fixedly installed at the upper end of the lifting plate.

[0008] Preferably, in order to drive the lifting plate to rise and fall, thereby driving the receiving platform to rise and fall, the lifting assembly further includes a control motor. The control motor is fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the mounting plate, and a lifting threaded rod is fixedly installed on the output end of the control motor. The upper end of the lifting threaded rod passes through the mounting plate and extends into the interior of the lifting plate, and the lifting threaded rod is threadedly connected to the lifting plate.

[0009] Preferably, in order to install the fixing component on the receiving platform, T-shaped sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the upper end of the receiving platform, and the sliding grooves are located on both sides of the charging connector.

[0010] Preferably, in order to drive the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, the fixing component includes a self-locking motor, which is fixedly installed at both ends of the outer side of the receiving platform, and the output end of the self-locking motor is fixedly installed with a bidirectional threaded rod, which is rotatably engaged in the movable slide groove.

[0011] Preferably, in order to move the fixing claw and thus quickly fix the drone, the fixing component further includes a moving block, which is slidably engaged in the moving groove and threadedly sleeved at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod. A fixing claw is fixedly installed on the upper end of the moving block, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing claw.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This structure achieves automated charging through ingenious design. The lifting component plays a key role, first driving the receiving platform to descend, allowing the charging connector to move below the receiving platform to prepare for subsequent docking. After the drone lands on the receiving platform, the fixing component quickly limits and fixes it. Then, the lifting component drives the receiving platform to reset, so that the charging connector is precisely docked with the drone's charging port. The whole process does not require manual intervention, greatly improving the automation level of rooftop charging. Attached Figure Description
