[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] This utility model provides a drone launch box that solves the technical problem in related technologies where the drone launch box is too heavy and cannot meet the design requirements for lightweight drone launch devices.

[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a drone launch box, which includes a parallel upper plate 1 and a lower plate 2, and two side plates 3. The two side plates 3 are respectively connected to the corresponding sides of the upper plate 1 and the lower plate 2. The upper plate 1 and the lower plate 2 are respectively provided with an upper guide rail 4 and a lower guide rail 5. The upper guide rail 4 and the lower guide rail 5 are used to mount the drone 6 and restrict the radial movement of the drone 6. The upper plate 1, the lower plate 2, and the two side plates 3 are all hollow structures. In this utility model, the upper plate 1, the lower plate 2, and the two side plates 3 are all hollow structures, that is, the hollow structures of the upper plate 1, the lower plate 2, and the two side plates 3 are formed by extrusion, and then connected to form the launch box, which effectively reduces weight and meets the requirements of lightweight design.

[0038] This utility model provides a drone launch box, which includes a parallel upper plate and a lower plate, as well as two side plates. The two side plates are respectively connected to the corresponding sides of the upper plate and the lower plate. The upper plate and the lower plate are respectively provided with an upper guide rail and a lower guide rail, which are used to mount the drone and restrict its radial movement. The upper plate, the lower plate, and the two side plates are all hollow structures. The hollow structure of the upper plate, the lower plate, and the two side plates of this utility model means that the hollow upper plate, the lower plate, and the two side plates can be formed by compression and then connected to form the launch box, effectively reducing weight and meeting the lightweight design requirements of drone launch devices.

[0039] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 As shown, the upper guide rail 4 is provided with two limiting members 41, which are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the bottom surface of the upper plate 1. Each limiting member 41 has a constraint surface 411 at its bottom that adapts to the top contour of the drone 6, and the constraint surface 411 maintains a clearance fit with the top of the drone 6. In this embodiment, by forming a clearance fit between the two symmetrically arranged limiting members 41 and the top of the drone 6, the radial displacement and deflection angle of the drone 6 are effectively constrained while the drone 6 slides longitudinally, improving the stability of the drone 6 during launch. The adaptation design of the constraint surface 411 to the top of the drone 6 reduces contact friction, avoids jamming and wear, ensures smooth sliding of the drone, and provides reliable guidance and stable control for the drone.

[0040] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1As shown, the lower guide rail 5 is mounted on the lower plate 2. The top of the lower guide rail 5 is provided with a limiting groove 51. The limiting groove 51 is used to form a sliding engagement with the orientation button 61 at the bottom of the UAV 6. The limiting groove 51 ensures the stability of the sliding and improves the accuracy of the launch angle and direction.

[0041] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 As shown, the lower guide rail 5 also has two concave arc surfaces 52, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the limiting groove 51. The two concave arc surfaces 52 form minimum surface contact with the lowest point of the fuselage 62 of the UAV 6. In this embodiment of the invention, the design of the two concave arc surfaces 52 ensures that the bottom of the fuselage 62 of the UAV 6 forms minimum surface contact with the two concave arc surfaces 52, providing a stable radial positioning reference and reducing sliding friction resistance. The downward concave surface structure of the concave arc surfaces 52 ensures adaptive changes in the center of gravity of the UAV, maintaining contact stability during longitudinal sliding and avoiding the risk of derailment due to vibration or attitude adjustment, thus providing the UAV with low-resistance and high-stability gliding conditions.

[0042] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the limiting groove 51 and the two concave arc surfaces 52 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the limiting groove 51 and the two concave arc surfaces 52 have a smooth transition and are integrally formed, which further improves the structural stability of the launch box, while also increasing production efficiency and facilitating mass production.

[0043] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the width of the limiting groove 51 is greater than the width of the directional button 61, with a width difference of 1-2 cm. In this embodiment, setting the width difference between the limiting groove 51 and the directional button 61 at the bottom of the drone 6 in the radial section to 1-2 cm provides necessary clearance for movement while ensuring precise guidance. This effectively limits the radial offset of the drone 6, preventing lateral swaying or derailment during high-speed movement, which could lead to deviations in the launch angle and direction. It also allows the directional button 61 to slide slightly within the limiting groove 51 to accommodate the dynamic displacement of the drone 6 during acceleration, deceleration, or attitude adjustment. The width range of the limiting groove ensures stable gliding of the drone while providing a certain margin, further improving the reliability and environmental adaptability of the launch box.

[0044] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the four corners of the launch box formed by the upper plate 1, lower plate 2, and two side plates 3 are all rounded. In this embodiment of the invention, the rounded corners of the launch box extend its service life, allow it to maintain stable guiding function, and significantly improve its safety and reliability.

[0045] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper plate 1, lower plate 2, and two side plates 3 are all connected by welding. In this embodiment of the invention, the upper plate 1 and lower plate 2 have U-shaped cross-sections. The upper plate 1 and lower plate 2 are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other, and are connected by the two side plates 3. The structure is simple, and the connection of the upper plate 1, lower plate 2, and two side plates 3 by welding ensures the stability of the launch box.

[0046] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the upper plate 1, the lower plate 2, and the two side plates 3 are all made of aluminum alloy. In this embodiment, the upper plate 1, the lower plate 2, and the two side plates 3 are formed by extruding aluminum alloy billets after pickling. The aluminum alloy billets produce fewer scratches during extrusion, and heat treatment after extrusion further releases internal stress, reduces deformation, and improves the accuracy of the launch box.

[0047] This utility model also provides a drone launching device, which includes the aforementioned drone launching housing. The launching housing includes a parallel upper plate 1 and a lower plate 2, as well as two side plates 3. The two side plates 3 are respectively connected to the corresponding sides of the upper plate 1 and the lower plate 2. The upper plate 1 and the lower plate 2 are respectively provided with an upper guide rail 4 and a lower guide rail 5. The upper guide rail 4 and the lower guide rail 5 are used to mount the drone 6 and restrict the radial movement of the drone 6. The upper plate 1, the lower plate 2, and the two side plates 3 are all hollow structures. In this utility model, the upper plate 1, the lower plate 2, and the two side plates 3 are all hollow structures, that is, the hollow structures of the upper plate 1, the lower plate 2, and the two side plates 3 are formed by compression, and then connected to form the launching housing, which effectively reduces weight and meets the requirements of lightweight design.

[0048] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1As shown, the upper guide rail 4 is provided with two limiting members 41, which are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the bottom surface of the upper plate 1. Each limiting member 41 has a constraint surface 411 at its bottom that adapts to the top contour of the drone 6, and the constraint surface 411 maintains a clearance fit with the top of the drone 6. In this embodiment, by forming a clearance fit between the two symmetrically arranged limiting members 41 and the top of the drone 6, the radial displacement and deflection angle of the drone 6 are effectively constrained while the drone 6 slides longitudinally, improving the stability of the drone 6 during launch. The adaptation design of the constraint surface 411 to the top of the drone 6 reduces contact friction, avoids jamming and wear, ensures smooth sliding of the drone, and provides reliable guidance and stable control for the drone.
