[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] A specific embodiment of this utility model provides a foldable multi-rotor drone nest, combined with an attached... Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes the cabin 1, the tank 2, the lifting platform 3, the landing pad, the telescopic boom 5, and the hatch cover 6.
[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cabin 1 is configured as a cubic structure, with an energy compartment inside for storing electrical energy to provide power support for the drone; the trough 2 is configured as a hollow shape and is located between the outer shell of the cabin 1 and the energy compartment, for accommodating the lifting plate 3 and guiding its movement; in this embodiment, there are four sets of trough 2, which are fixed to the four sides of the cabin 1 respectively, and the trough 2 is vertically arranged.
[0030] Specifically, the lifting plate 3 is installed inside the tank 2 and can be electrically raised and lowered along the tank 2. The number of lifting plates 3 is the same as the number of tanks 2, with each lifting plate 3 corresponding to a set of tanks 2. The lifting plate 3 is driven by a motor to achieve lifting and lowering movement, thereby adjusting its height position.
[0031] Specifically, the helipad includes a main helipad 4 and auxiliary helipads. The main helipad 4 is fixedly located on top of the energy bay and is used to park one main UAV. The auxiliary helipads include a first helipad 8, a second helipad 9, a third helipad 10, and a fourth helipad 11, which are connected to four lifting platforms 3 via rotating shafts. Each lifting platform 3 integrates an electric rotating shaft drive mechanism, which can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle between the auxiliary helipads and the lifting platforms 3. , where 90°≤ The angle is ≤180°, which allows the auxiliary helipad to fold and unfold only towards the outside of cabin 1, avoiding interference with the internal structure of the cabin.
[0032] Specifically, the telescopic rods 5 are located at the four corners of the cabin 1 and can be electrically raised and lowered. The top of the telescopic rods 5 is connected to the hatch cover 6 via the adjusting rod 7. The adjusting rod 7 and the telescopic rods 5 are connected by an electric rotating shaft, which can realize the rotation and opening of the hatch cover 6. When closed, the four hatch covers 6 can be sealed and spliced together on the top of the cabin 1. The shape of the spliced hatch cover 6 is consistent with the bottom of the cabin 1, forming a complete protective shell.
[0033] Specifically, each auxiliary landing pad is equipped with a fixing buckle 12 and a telescopic belt 13. The telescopic belt 13 can be manually stretched and wrapped tightly around the outside of the UAV fuselage, and the end is connected to the fixing buckle 12 to achieve reliable fixation of the UAV. In addition, both the main landing pad 4 and the auxiliary landing pad are equipped with positioning targets 15 for visual recognition and precise positioning of the UAV when it lands.
[0034] Specifically, the main helipad 4 is also equipped with several connecting lines 14. One end of the connecting line 14 is electrically connected to the energy cabin, and the other end is equipped with an interface that can be extended to the surface of the helipad for charging or powering the parked drones.
[0035] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0036] When a drone needs to be deployed, the control system first drives the telescopic boom 5 to rise, causing the hatch 6 to rotate and open via the adjusting rod 7, exposing the landing pad. Subsequently, the lifting platform 3 rises along the trough 2 to a predetermined height, while simultaneously the electric rotating shaft drives the auxiliary landing pad to fold outwards, changing it from a vertically folded state to a horizontal or tilted unfolded state, forming multiple landing positions. The drone can accurately land by identifying and locating the target 15 through a vision system. After landing, the operator or automated mechanism uses the telescopic belt 13 and fixing buckles 12 to secure the drone. The connecting cable 14 can be used to charge the drone.
[0037] When the drone needs to be stored, the fixing mechanism releases the drone, the lifting platform 3 descends, and at the same time the electric rotating shaft drives the auxiliary landing pad to fold inward back to the vertical position, the telescopic rod 5 descends, and the canopy 6 closes, forming a sealed protective space to prevent the drone from being affected by the environment.
[0038] Through the above structure, this utility model realizes the foldable and multi-position parking function of the drone nest, improving space utilization and deployment efficiency.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
