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.

[0017] In existing technologies, traditional drones typically use satellite relays or ground communication base stations for beyond-line-of-sight information transmission. In remote areas or when geological disasters occur, these methods may be limited by factors such as weather and terrain, resulting in unstable information transmission or inability to deploy quickly, which affects the operational efficiency and mission execution quality of drones.

[0018] In view of this, the present invention provides a UAV beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) information transmission device. Through the cooperation of a housing, an electric telescopic rod, a signal relay module, a controller, a signal transmission line, a control panel, a connection interface, a battery, wheels, a telescopic lever, and a handle, it adopts a portable design, facilitating rapid deployment and use in remote areas or complex environments such as during geological disasters. By adjusting the height of the signal relay module, it receives signals from the remote control terminal and the UAV terminal, amplifies the signals, and then sends them back to the remote control terminal or the UAV terminal, establishing a stable information transmission channel between the UAV and the remote control terminal. This enables BLOS information transmission between the UAV and the remote control terminal, effectively expanding the coverage area of ​​information transmission, ensuring the stability and reliability of BLOS information transmission, adapting to signal transmission needs in different environments, reducing the impact of weather, terrain, and other factors on UAV BLOS information transmission, and ensuring the operational efficiency and mission execution quality of the UAV.

[0019] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.

[0020] Depend on Figure 1-4 It is known that a UAV beyond-line-of-sight information transmission device includes a housing 1, which is made of ABS or PC material and is used to install and store the various components of the beyond-line-of-sight information transmission device. An electric telescopic rod 2 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. A signal relay module 3 is installed at the top of the electric telescopic rod 2. A controller 4 is installed inside the housing 1. The signal relay module 3 is electrically connected to the controller 4 through a signal transmission line 5. A control panel 6 is provided on the front of the outer wall of the housing 1. Connection interfaces 7 are provided at equal intervals below the control panel 6 on the front of the outer wall of the housing 1. A battery 8 is provided on one side of the inside of the housing 1. The control panel 6, connection interfaces 7 and battery 8 are all electrically connected to the controller 4. Moving wheels 9 are rotatably connected at equal intervals on both sides of the bottom of the housing 1. A telescopic pull rod 10 is provided on the back of the outer wall of the housing 1. A handle 11 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the housing 1.

[0021] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the housing 1 is made of ABS or PC material and is used to install and store the various components of the beyond-line-of-sight information transmission device. Through the cooperation between the housing 1, the electric telescopic mast 2, the signal relay module 3, the controller 4, the signal transmission line 5, the control panel 6, and the battery 8, the signal relay module 3 is installed at the top of the electric telescopic mast 2. The two ends of the signal transmission line 5 are connected to the interfaces of the signal relay module 3 and the controller 4, respectively, to control the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic mast 2 and adjust the height of the signal relay module 3 to adapt to signal transmission needs in different environments. The signal relay module 3 receives signals from the remote control terminal and the drone terminal and transmits the received signals... The signal is sent to controller 4, which amplifies the signal before sending it to the remote control terminal or drone terminal via signal relay module 3. This establishes a stable information transmission channel between the drone and the remote control terminal, enabling beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) information transmission, expanding the drone's communication range, ensuring the stability and reliability of BLOS information transmission, and effectively increasing the coverage of information transmission. Connection interface 7 is used to charge the BLOS information transmission device and can also be wired to the remote control terminal. Battery 8 uses a high-performance, long-life lithium battery with large capacity, high energy density, and stable voltage output characteristics, providing stable power to the BLOS information transmission device and ensuring the entire device can operate remotely even when away from a power source. Under conditions of prolonged operation, the coordination between the housing 1, casters 9, telescopic rod 10, and handle 11 enhances the ease of movement and portability of the beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) information transmission device, facilitating rapid deployment in remote areas or during geological disasters. The portable design, achieved through the coordination of the housing 1, electric telescopic rod 2, signal relay module 3, controller 4, signal transmission line 5, control panel 6, connection interface 7, battery 8, casters 9, telescopic rod 10, and handle 11, allows for rapid deployment and use of the BLOS information transmission device in complex environments such as remote areas or during geological disasters. By adjusting the height of the signal relay module 3, it receives signals from remote control terminals and... The signal sent by the UAV terminal is then enhanced and sent to the remote control terminal or UAV terminal, establishing a stable information transmission channel between the UAV and the remote control terminal. This enables beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) information transmission between the UAV and the remote control terminal, effectively expanding the coverage of information transmission and ensuring the stability and reliability of BLOS information transmission. This adapts to the signal transmission needs in different environments, reduces the impact of weather, terrain, and other factors on UAV BLOS information transmission, and ensures the operational efficiency and mission execution quality of the UAV. The specific models of the electric telescopic pole 2, signal relay module 3, controller 4, signal transmission line 5, control panel 6, connection interface 7, and battery 8 are not limited, as long as they meet the usage requirements.

[0022] Furthermore, the outer wall of the electric telescopic rod 2 is provided with fixed rings 12 at equal intervals, and fixed seats 13 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on both sides of the bottom of the box 1. Support legs 15 are movably connected to the inner wall of the fixed seats 13. A fixed knob 14 is threadedly connected to the side of the fixed seat 13 away from the box 1. The fixed knob 14 is connected to the support leg 15.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that, through the cooperation between the electric telescopic pole 2 and the fixing ring 12, the fixing ring 12 can be used to thread the traction and fixing rope, and the other end of the rope is fixed to the ground or trees, so as to fix the electric telescopic pole 2 in multiple directions, improve the stability of the electric telescopic pole 2 during use, and prevent it from tipping over or shifting in complex environments. Through the cooperation between the housing 1, the fixing seat 13, the fixing knob 14 and the support legs 15, after the information transmission device is moved to the required deployment position, the height position of each support leg 15 is adjusted and fixed by the fixing knob 14, so as to stably support the housing 1, enabling the information transmission device to remain stable in complex terrain. To prevent the housing 1 from shaking or tipping over due to uneven or tilted ground, and to further ensure the stability and reliability of information transmission, the housing 1, electric telescopic rod 2, fixing ring 12, fixing seat 13, fixing knob 14 and support leg 15 are coordinated. After the information transmission device is moved to the required deployment position, the height of each support leg 15 is adjusted and fixed to keep the housing 1 stable in complex terrain. The electric telescopic rod 2 is pulled and fixed in multiple directions by ropes to improve the stability of the UAV beyond visual range information transmission device during use, prevent it from tipping over or shifting in complex environments, ensure the stability and reliability of information transmission, and improve the adaptability and stability of the device in complex environments.

[0024] Furthermore, a storage compartment 16 is provided on the side of the housing 1 away from the control panel 6. A die-cut foam block 17 is provided inside the storage compartment 16. The inner wall of the die-cut foam block 17 is connected to the signal relay module 3. A closing cover 18 is rotatably connected to the top of the storage compartment 16.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the housing 1, the signal relay module 3, the storage compartment 16, the die-cut foam block 17 and the sealing cover 18, the disassembled signal relay module 3 can be placed inside the die-cut foam block 17 in the storage compartment 16, and the storage compartment 16 is sealed by the sealing cover 18 to protect and buffer the signal relay module 3, so as to avoid damage to the signal relay module 3 during transportation or storage.

[0026] Furthermore, a storage slot 19 is provided on the top front of the box 1, and the control panel 6 is rotatably connected to the inside of the storage slot 19. A gas spring 20 is rotatably connected inside the storage slot 19, and the end of the gas spring 20 is rotatably connected to the control panel 6.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that, through the cooperation between the housing 1, control panel 6, storage slot 19 and gas spring 20, when the control panel 6 is not in use, it can be rotated and stored inside the storage slot 19 to protect it. When the device needs to be operated, simply pull the control panel 6 to pop it out of the storage slot 19. The gas spring 20 supports the control panel 6, allowing it to unfold stably at a more suitable angle, which is convenient for operators to operate and control.

[0028] Furthermore, electromagnetic locks 21 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the storage compartment 16. The electromagnetic locks 21 are electrically connected to the controller 4. Magnets 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the sealing cover 18. The magnets 22 are connected to the electromagnetic locks 21.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the storage compartment 16, the sealing cover 18, the electromagnetic lock 21, and the magnet 22, when the sealing cover 18 is in the closed state, the electromagnetic lock 21 generates magnetism after being energized, attracting the magnet 22 at the bottom of the sealing cover 18, thus firmly locking the sealing cover 18 onto the storage compartment 16. This ensures the safety and stability of the signal relay module 3 during transportation or storage, and prevents unauthorized personnel from opening the storage compartment 16 at will, causing damage or loss to the signal relay module 3. The specific model of the electromagnetic lock 21 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
