Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle platform technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted drone launch and take-off platform. Background Technology
[0002] A vehicle-mounted drone launch and recovery platform is an intelligent system integrated into a vehicle to enable automatic take-off, landing, recovery, charging, and data exchange for drones. The platform uses electric or pneumatic mechanisms to achieve one-button release and precise landing, supporting operation when the vehicle is stationary or moving at low speeds.
[0003] Currently, most vehicle-mounted platforms are directly exposed to the outside, which means that drones placed on the rear platform of a car are susceptible to external influences and damage. On the other hand, when a sealed structure is used for protection, manual opening and closing can affect the rapid take-off and landing of the drone. Therefore, a vehicle-mounted drone take-off and landing platform was designed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address this issue, this application provides a vehicle-mounted drone launch and recovery platform.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application for a vehicle-mounted drone launch and recovery platform is as follows:
[0006] A vehicle-mounted drone launch and take-up platform includes a protective compartment installed at the rear of a vehicle. A hydraulic push rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective compartment, and the launch and take-up platform is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hydraulic push rod. Protective end caps are slidably connected to both sides of the upper end of the protective compartment.
[0007] The drive assembly, installed on one side of the upper end of the protective housing, is used to drive the movement of the protective end cover;
[0008] Auxiliary fixing components; installed on both sides of the launch and take-off platform to help fix the drone.
[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a moving block, the rear of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective end cover, the moving block is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the protective compartment, and a reciprocating screw is threadedly connected to the moving block, with one side of the reciprocating screw rotatably connected to the side wall of the protective compartment.
[0010] Preferably, a double-headed motor is also fixedly connected to one side of the reciprocating lead screw, and the double-headed motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the protective compartment.
[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary fixing component includes gears rotatably mounted on the front and rear parts at both ends of the launching and receiving platform. The upper end of the gear is fixedly connected to a support rod, and the upper end of the support rod is fixedly connected to an installation rod on one side close to each other. The installation rod is rotatably connected to a pressure plate on the side away from the support rod on the same side.
[0012] Preferably, a torsion spring is fixedly connected to the end of the gear near the side wall of the take-up and put-down platform, and the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the take-up and put-down platform away from the gear.
[0013] Preferably, the auxiliary fixing component further includes a rack, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the rack, and a protective sidewall of the compartment is fixedly connected to the fixing rod away from the rack. The rack can mesh with a gear.
[0014] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0015] In this invention, the reciprocating screw, moving block, and protective end cap structure installed at the upper end of the protective housing can be quickly opened and closed when the drone needs to be taken out or retrieved. This does not affect the rapid ascent and descent of the drone, and also protects the drone during storage, facilitating its use in vehicles.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0022] This application discloses a vehicle-mounted drone launch and recovery platform. (Refer to...) Figure 1-4 A vehicle-mounted drone launch and take-off platform includes a protective compartment 2 installed at the rear of a vehicle 1, a hydraulic push rod 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective compartment 2, a launch and take-off platform 7 fixedly connected to the upper end of the hydraulic push rod 6, and protective end caps 3 slidably connected to both sides of the upper end of the protective compartment 2.
[0023] The drive assembly is installed on one side of the upper end of the protective housing 2 and is used to drive the movement of the protective end cover 3.
[0024] The drive assembly includes a moving block 31, the rear of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective end cover 3, the moving block 31 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the protective compartment 2, the moving block 31 is threadedly connected to a reciprocating screw 4, one side of the reciprocating screw 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the protective compartment 2, and a double-headed motor 5 is also fixedly connected to one side of the reciprocating screw 4, the double-headed motor 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the protective compartment 2.
[0025] Start the dual-head motor 5, which drives the reciprocating screws 4 on both sides to rotate. The reciprocating screws 4 drive the moving block 31 to move, causing the protective end cover 3 connected to one side of the moving block 31 to move. After the protective end cover 3 moves, the upper end of the protective compartment 2 is opened to facilitate the lifting of the drone and to protect the drone when it is stored.
[0026] If vehicle-mounted drones are not secured during transport, they may wobble and tip over. Therefore, an auxiliary securing component has been designed to help secure the drones.
[0027] The auxiliary fixing components include gears 8 rotatably installed at the front and rear ends of both ends of the take-up and take-down platform 7. The upper end of the gears 8 is fixedly connected to the support rods 9. The upper ends of the support rods 9 are fixedly connected to the mounting rods on the side close to each other. The mounting rods are rotatably connected to the pressure plate 10 on the side away from the support rods 9 on the same side.
[0028] The auxiliary fixing component also includes a rack 13, with a fixing rod 12 fixedly connected to one side of the rack 13, and the side of the fixing rod 12 away from the rack 13 fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective compartment 2. The rack 13 can mesh with the gear 8.
[0029] After use, the drone descends back into the deployment platform 7. Then, the hydraulic push rod 6 drives the deployment platform 7 to descend. During descent, the gear 8 meshes with the rack 13 again, causing the gear 8 to rotate back to its original position. This causes the support rod 9 to drive the pressure plate 10 to rotate, so that the pressure plate 10 presses down on the lower frame of the drone again, thus achieving automatic fixation of the drone during storage.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to ensure that the pressure plate 10 can effectively press down on the drone frame, a torsion spring 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the gear 8 near the side wall of the take-up and take-down platform 7, and the side of the torsion spring 11 away from the gear 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the take-up and take-down platform 7. When the gear 8 drives the pressure plate 10 to rotate and press down on the drone frame, the torsion spring 11 provides pressure to ensure that the pressure plate 10 can provide moving pressure on the drone frame, thus ensuring the stability of the drone on the take-up and take-down platform 7.
[0031] The implementation principle of a vehicle-mounted drone launch and take-off platform according to this application embodiment is as follows: The dual-head motor 5 is started, causing the dual-head motor 5 to drive the reciprocating lead screws 4 on both sides to rotate. The reciprocating lead screws 4 drive the moving block 31 to move, causing the protective end cover 3 connected to one side of the moving block 31 to move. After the protective end cover 3 moves, the upper end of the protective compartment 2 is opened. Then, the hydraulic push rod 6 is started, causing the hydraulic push rod 6 to drive the launch and take-off platform 7 to rise, causing the launch and take-off platform 7 to carry the drone to rise. During the rise, the gear 8 meshes with the rack 13, and the gear 8 drives the support rod 9 to rotate. The support rod 9 drives the pressure plate 10 to move, causing the pressure plate 10 to move and separate from the bottom frame of the drone, that is, it no longer limits the drone. The position of the pressure plate 10 is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drone can then be started and fly out from the opening at the top of the protective compartment 2.
[0032] After use, the drone descends back into the deployment platform 7. Then, the hydraulic push rod 6 drives the deployment platform 7 to descend. During descent, the gear 8 meshes with the rack 13 again, causing the gear 8 to rotate back to its original position. This causes the support rod 9 to drive the pressure plate 10 to rotate, so that the pressure plate 10 presses down on the lower frame of the drone again, thus achieving automatic fixation of the drone during storage.
