Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hangar technology, specifically to a UAV hangar control system device. Background Technology

[0002] However, numerous problems have emerged in the practical application of drones, especially in outdoor operations. In remote mountainous environments such as military reconnaissance and power line inspection, drone takeoff and recovery face challenges. The lack of stable and reliable takeoff and landing platforms leads to frequent "drone crashes," affecting operational continuity and safety. Simultaneously, current launch and recovery technologies lag behind, resulting in slow progress in unmanned operations, low automation levels, and reliance on manual control, increasing costs and risks and limiting operational efficiency and application scope. To address the challenges of automated launch and recovery in outdoor operations and provide parking and maintenance platforms, drone hangars have emerged and entered the market in recent years. Early hangars were mostly simple box structures, resulting in high costs, difficulties in promotion, and reliance on manual handling and operation. Furthermore, mobile vehicle-mounted automated hangars are scarce, failing to meet the needs of flexible operations. With growing market demand and technological advancements, the development of new drone hangar control systems is urgently needed. This device needs to integrate multiple technologies to achieve automated and stable drone launch and recovery, solve problems such as random landing attitudes, improve the intelligence and automation level of the hangar, reduce reliance on manual labor, improve operational efficiency and safety, and promote the deep application and development of drones across various industries.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems: While hangars typically open automatically, the storage platforms inside are difficult to raise and lower synchronously, making it easy for drones to scrape against them when the hangar closes, potentially causing damage. Furthermore, hangar locations are usually fixed and difficult to change; once determined, adjustments are challenging, which may limit subsequent hangar relocation operations.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a drone hangar control system device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a drone hangar control system device, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: including a protective frame and a lifting structure assembled inside the protective frame, as well as a movable structure assembled below the protective frame;

[0007] The lifting structure includes a hydraulic rod fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the inner wall of the protective frame and two shielding plates symmetrically distributed on the top of the protective frame, as well as a landing plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective frame. The top of the landing plate is rotatably connected to four guide rods, which are divided into two groups and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the landing plate. The end of one group of guide rods away from the landing plate is rotatably connected to both sides of the inner top wall of the shielding plate.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the output end of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the landing plate, and rectangular grooves for the guide rod to move are symmetrically opened on both sides of the surface of the protective frame.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the protective frame has symmetrically provided limiting grooves on the other two sides of its surface, and the limiting grooves are slidably connected to limiting blocks that are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the baffle plate.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the movable structure includes four universal wheels fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective frame and a movable frame slidably connected to the surface of the protective frame, as well as a jack fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the movable frame, the output end of the jack being fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the protective frame.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the four casters are divided into two groups and symmetrically distributed around the bottom surface of the protective frame, and the bottom of the movable frame is provided with four through holes for the guide wheels to move.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, four L-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable frame. The four L-shaped plates are divided into two groups and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the movable frame.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the L-shaped plate is internally threaded with a threaded rod. One end of the threaded rod passes through the L-shaped plate and is rotatably connected to an anti-slip plate via a bearing. The other end of the threaded rod passes through the L-shaped plate and is fixedly connected to a knob.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The lifting mechanism, activated by a hydraulic rod, allows for adjustment of the landing platform's height. When the drone prepares to land, the hydraulic rod smoothly raises the landing platform to the appropriate height. Simultaneously, four guide rods, symmetrically distributed on both sides and rotatably connected to the top wall of the shield, rotate on the top of the landing platform. As the hydraulic rod lowers the landing platform back into position, the drone follows, and the guide rods synchronously push the shield along the limiting groove until the top of the protective frame is completely sealed. This not only creates a sealed space for the drone when not in operation, effectively blocking external elements such as wind, rain, and dust, but also reduces the risk of damage to the drone from accidental collisions when the shield closes.

[0016] The movable structure allows for flexible movement of the hangar via casters, meeting the mobility requirements of outdoor operations. The adjustable protective frame height of the jack allows the casters to retract into the movable frame, preventing them from contacting the bottom surface. The L-shaped plate, combined with the threaded rod and anti-slip plate, can securely fix the hangar while also allowing the device to be adjusted to a horizontal position to prevent swaying during operation. This design balances ease of movement and parking stability, significantly improving the efficiency and safety of drone operations. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The unmanned aerial vehicle hangar control system device shown includes a protective frame 1, a lifting structure 2 assembled inside the protective frame 1, and a movable structure 3 assembled below the protective frame 1.

[0025] The lifting structure 2 includes a hydraulic rod 201 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the inner wall of the protective frame 1, two shielding plates 202 symmetrically distributed on the top of the protective frame 1, and a falling plate 203 slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective frame 1. The top of the falling plate 203 is rotatably connected to four guide rods 204. The four guide rods 204 are divided into two groups and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the falling plate 203. One end of the guide rod 204 away from the falling plate 203 is rotatably connected to both sides of the inner top wall of the shielding plate 202.

[0026] Using the above scheme, activating the hydraulic rod 201 allows for adjustment of the lifting height of the landing plate 203. When the drone is preparing to land, the hydraulic rod 201 smoothly raises the landing plate 203 to a suitable height. Simultaneously, four guide rods 204, rotatably connected to the top of the landing plate 203, are symmetrically distributed on both sides and rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the shield 202. When the hydraulic rod 201 lowers the landing plate 203 back to its original position, the drone follows, and the guide rods 204 synchronously push the shield 202 to slide along the limiting groove until the top of the protective frame 1 is completely sealed. This not only creates a sealed space for the drone in non-operational states, effectively blocking external wind, rain, dust, and other corrosive elements, but also reduces the risk of damage to the drone from accidental collisions when the shield 202 closes.

[0027] The output end of the hydraulic rod 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drop plate 203. Rectangular grooves for the guide rod 204 to move are symmetrically opened on both sides of the surface of the protective frame 1. Limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on the other two sides of the surface of the protective frame 1. Limiting blocks, fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the baffle plate 202, are slidably connected inside the limiting grooves. The movable structure 3 includes four casters 301 fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective frame 1, a movable frame 302 slidably connected to the surface of the protective frame 1, and a jack 303 fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the movable frame 302. The output end of the jack 303 is fixedly connected to the protective frame 1. At the center of the bottom, four casters 301 are divided into two groups and symmetrically distributed around the bottom of the protective frame 1. The bottom of the movable frame 302 has four through holes for the guide wheels to move. Four L-shaped plates 304 are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable frame 302. The four L-shaped plates 304 are divided into two groups and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the movable frame 302. The L-shaped plates 304 are internally threaded with threaded rods 305. One end of the threaded rod 305 passes through the L-shaped plate 304 and is rotatably connected to the anti-slip plate 306 through a bearing. The other end of the threaded rod 305 passes through the L-shaped plate 304 and is fixedly connected to a knob.

[0028] The above solution enables flexible movement of the hangar via casters 301, meeting the mobility requirements of outdoor operations. Jacks 303 can adjust the height of the protective frame 1, allowing casters 301 to retract into the movable frame 302 and not contact the bottom surface. The L-shaped plate, together with the threaded rod 305 and anti-slip plate 306, can stably fix the hangar and adjust the device to a horizontal position to prevent shaking during operation. It balances ease of movement and parking stability, significantly improving the efficiency and safety of drone operations.

[0029] The working principle of a drone hangar control system device based on the embodiment is as follows: First, the hangar is moved to the target operation position by using the four casters 301 at the bottom of the protective frame 1. The through hole at the bottom of the movable frame 302 provides space for the casters 301 to move, ensuring smooth movement.

[0030] Once the designated position is reached, operate the jack 303 on the bottom wall of the movable frame 302, causing its output end to push the protective frame 1 upward until the caster wheel 301 retracts into the movable frame 302 and is no longer in contact with the ground. Then, rotate the knob on the threaded rod 305 on the L-shaped plate on the surface of the movable frame 302, causing the threaded rod 305 to rotate, so that the anti-slip plate 306 connected by the bearing moves downward and makes close contact with the ground, further stabilizing the hangar. At the same time, the device can be adjusted to a horizontal state by adjusting the threaded rod 305 at different positions.

[0031] Next, the hydraulic rod 201 on the bottom wall of the inner wall of the protective frame 1 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic rod 201 pushes the drop plate 203 to slide upward along the inner wall of the protective frame 1. During the rise of the drop plate 203, the four guide rods 204 rotatably connected to its top move accordingly. Since the other end of the guide rod 204 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the baffle plate 202, and the baffle plate 202 slides in the limiting groove of the protective frame 1 through the limiting block, the guide rod 204 will drive the two symmetrical baffle plates 202 to open to both sides until the drop plate 203 rises to the appropriate height.

[0032] After the drone lands on the landing plate 203, the control hydraulic rod 201 drives the landing plate 203 to descend and return to its original position. During this process, the guide rod 204 simultaneously pulls the shield 202 to slide along the limiting groove towards the center until the shield 202 completely seals the top of the protective frame 1, creating a sealed space for the drone;

[0033] After the work is completed, rotate the threaded rod 305 in the opposite direction to lift the anti-slip plate 306 off the ground, operate the jack 303 to lower the protective frame 1, and extend the caster wheel 301 to contact the ground, so that the hangar can be pushed to the next work point or storage location.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
