Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically a waterproof structure for a UAV recovery cabin. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, drones are being used in increasingly wider fields, such as drone detection, drone exploration, agricultural drones, and video recording drones. However, due to limitations in battery technology, the battery life of drones has always been short. During drone operation, it is necessary to swap or recharge the battery to extend the drone's working time. Swapping or recharging the battery requires the use of the drone's cabin.
[0003] For example, the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN222808329U discloses a waterproof cabin for drones. This device loads drones by setting up a waterproof cabin with an entrance and exit on the side. When the drone takes off and lands, a sliding platform moves the drone in and out of the waterproof cabin. This prevents rainwater from falling into the interior of the waterproof cabin when it rains. The sliding platform does not have electronic equipment and does not need to be waterproofed, thereby reducing the waterproof requirements of the drone cabin and reducing the manufacturing cost of the drone cabin.
[0004] However, in actual use, the right side of the waterproof compartment is not equipped with a waterproof structure, which may cause rainwater to enter the cabin from the right side when the cabin is wet, posing a certain safety hazard and failing to meet the usage requirements. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof structure for the recovery cabin of a drone, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A waterproof structure for a drone recovery cabin includes: a cabin body, a landing platform for accommodating the drone slidably inserted into the front side of the cabin body, a sealing end cap installed on the front side of the landing platform, and an outer sealing groove and an inner sealing groove formed on the front side of the cabin body; an outer sealing assembly disposed between the sealing end cap and the cabin body to improve the waterproof performance between the cabin body and the sealing end cap; and an inner sealing assembly disposed between the sealing end cap and the cabin body to further improve the waterproof performance between the cabin body and the sealing end cap; the outer sealing assembly includes an outer sealing ring inserted into the outer sealing groove, and an outer pressure ring is provided at a corresponding position on the sealing end cap.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the end of the outer pressure ring is provided with a chamfer.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of auxiliary sealing rings extend from both the inner and outer sides of the outer sealing ring.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the inner sealing assembly includes an inner sealing ring inserted into an inner sealing groove. Multiple sets of partition grooves are distributed on the inner and outer sides of the inner sealing ring, and the partition grooves separate the inner and outer sides of the inner sealing ring into several sealing portions. A sealing slot is provided on the front side of the inner sealing ring, and an inner pressure ring is provided on the sealing end cap at the position corresponding to the sealing slot.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the opening of the sealing slot is funnel-shaped.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the cabin is further provided with a movable slide, in which a movable lead screw is rotatably installed. A movable slide block is threaded onto the movable lead screw, and the take-off and landing platform is fixedly connected to the movable slide block. A movable motor for driving the movable lead screw to rotate is also installed on the cabin.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the cabin is also provided with an auxiliary slide rail, in which an auxiliary slide block is slidably installed, and the auxiliary slide block is fixedly connected to the take-off and landing platform.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: when the sealing end cap is close to the cabin, the inner pressure ring is inserted into the sealing slot opened on the front side of the inner sealing ring. The inner pressure ring squeezes the inner sealing ring, thereby deforming the inner sealing ring. At this time, the sealing parts on the inner and outer sides of the inner sealing ring fit better with the cabin, thereby realizing the sealing connection between the cabin and the sealing end cap and improving the waterproof performance of the cabin.
[0015] When the outer pressure ring is inserted into the outer sealing groove, it compresses the outer sealing ring, causing it to deform. This allows the auxiliary sealing rings on both the inner and outer sides of the outer sealing ring to better fit the cabin, achieving a sealed connection between the cabin and the sealing end cap. This improves the cabin's waterproof performance and better meets usage requirements. This invention has a reasonable structure, effectively improving the device's sealing and waterproof performance, reducing the possibility of rainwater entering the cabin, enhancing the device's safety, and better meeting usage needs.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0023] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-5 A waterproof structure for a drone recovery cabin includes: a cabin body 1, a take-off and landing platform 12 for accommodating the drone slidably inserted into the front side of the cabin body 1, a sealing end cap 11 installed on the front side of the take-off and landing platform 12, and an outer sealing groove 2 and an inner sealing groove 3 formed on the front side of the cabin body 1; an outer sealing assembly disposed between the sealing end cap 11 and the cabin body 1 to improve the waterproof performance between the cabin body 1 and the sealing end cap 11; and an inner sealing assembly disposed between the sealing end cap 11 and the cabin body 1 to further improve the waterproof performance between the cabin body 1 and the sealing end cap 11. The outer sealing assembly includes an outer sealing ring 23 inserted into the outer sealing groove 2, and an outer pressure ring 21 is provided at a corresponding position on the sealing end cap 11. In this embodiment, multiple sets of auxiliary sealing rings 24 extend from both the inner and outer sides of the outer sealing ring 23.
[0024] To facilitate the insertion of the outer pressure ring 21 into the outer sealing groove 2, the end of the outer pressure ring 21 is provided with a chamfer 22.
[0025] As a further embodiment, the inner sealing assembly includes an inner sealing ring 32 inserted into the inner sealing groove 3. Multiple sets of partition grooves 34 are distributed on the inner and outer sides of the inner sealing ring 32, and the partition grooves 34 divide the inner and outer sides of the inner sealing ring 32 into several sealing parts. A sealing slot 33 is provided on the front side of the inner sealing ring 32. An inner pressure ring 31 is provided on the sealing end cap 11 corresponding to the position of the sealing slot 33. In this embodiment, the opening of the sealing slot 33 is funnel-shaped.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When sealing, when the sealing end cap 11 is close to the cabin 1, the inner pressure ring 31 is inserted into the sealing slot 33 opened on the front side of the inner sealing ring 32. The inner pressure ring 31 squeezes the inner sealing ring 32, thereby deforming the inner sealing ring 32. At this time, the sealing parts on the inner and outer sides of the inner sealing ring 32 fit better with the cabin 1, thereby realizing the sealing connection between the cabin 1 and the sealing end cap 11 and improving the waterproof performance of the cabin 1.
[0027] At the same time, the outer pressure ring 21 is inserted into the outer sealing groove 2, and the outer sealing ring 23 is squeezed by the outer pressure ring 21, thereby deforming the outer sealing ring 23. This allows the auxiliary sealing rings 24 on both the inner and outer sides of the outer sealing ring 23 to fit better with the cabin 1, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the cabin 1 and the sealing end cover 11, thus improving the waterproof performance of the cabin 1 and better meeting the usage requirements.
[0028] As a further embodiment, the cabin 1 is also provided with a movable slide 41, in which a movable lead screw 42 is rotatably installed. A movable slide block 43 is threaded onto the movable lead screw 42. The landing platform 12 is fixedly connected to the movable slide block 43. The cabin 1 is also equipped with a movable motor 4 for driving the movable lead screw 42 to rotate. In this embodiment, the cabin 1 is also provided with an auxiliary slide 44, in which an auxiliary slide block 45 is slidably installed. The auxiliary slide block 45 is fixedly connected to the landing platform 12.
[0029] The movable screw 42 is driven to rotate by the movable motor 4, which in turn causes the movable slide 43, which is threaded onto the movable screw 42, to move the take-off and landing platform 12. The movable screw 42 is driven to rotate in the forward direction by the movable motor 4, which moves the take-off and landing platform 12 forward, making it easier to push the UAV out of the cabin 1 and facilitate the take-off of the UAV. The movable screw 42 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction by the movable motor 4, which allows the take-off and landing platform 12 to be retracted into the cabin 1. The sealing end cap 11 can then be fastened to the front of the cabin 1, and the sealing work is completed in conjunction with the inner sealing component and the outer sealing component to improve the waterproof performance of the cabin 1, thereby better meeting the usage requirements.
