Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transportation devices, specifically relating to a transportation packaging device for medium-sized UAVs. Background Technology
[0002] Medium-sized drones typically refer to drones with a takeoff weight of around 10-150 kg. These drones are generally larger, more complex in structure, and more valuable than small consumer drones, thus requiring more specialized transport packaging. This packaging is usually made of high-strength materials (such as aluminum alloy, engineering plastics, and composite materials) to form a frame or box. Transport packaging for medium-sized drones is used in the manufacturing process (finished product shipment and parts transportation), logistics and distribution (warehousing and long-distance transportation), use and maintenance (on-site transportation and repair return to the factory), and sales and display (product display and retail packaging). Professional packaging ensures safe transportation throughout the entire lifecycle of the drone. Most existing packaging boxes use a top-opening assembly. When packaging and transporting drones, the placement area requires a large overhead operating space. Furthermore, if the drone is accidentally released or the lifting part slips off during transport, it is very easy for the drone to fall and be damaged, thus affecting its usability.

[0014] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides the following technical solution: A transport packaging device for medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising a packaging box 1, an adjusting cover 3 rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the opening end of the packaging box 1 via a rotating shaft 2, a top plate 4 connected to the top surface of the adjusting cover 3, the top plate 4 being movably inserted into a rectangular groove on the top of the packaging box 1, a rod 5 inserted into the surface of the top plate 4, a U-shaped frame 6 connected to the other side surface of the rod 5, the surface of the U-shaped frame 6 movably abutting against the surface of the adjusting cover 3, and the opening end surface of the U-shaped frame 6 being inserted into a rectangular groove on the surface of a side plate 7. The surface of the open end of the plate 7 is connected to the top surface of the packaging box 1. The U-shaped frame 6 and the side plate 7 are connected by bolts 8 at the intersection. The inner wall surface of the packaging box 1 abuts against the bottom of the movable wheel installed at the bottom of the movable tray 9. The top surface of the movable tray 9 is connected to the support frame 10. The surface of the support frame 10 is inserted with the trapezoidal protrusion of the connecting plate 12. The other side surface of the connecting plate 12 is bonded to the foam board 13. The other side surface of the foam board 13 is connected to the honeycomb board 14. The other side surface of the honeycomb board 14 is movably abutting against the inner wall of the packaging box 1.
[0015] Preferably, a rectangular groove is provided on the top of the side plate 7, and the shape and size of the groove are adapted to the open end of the U-shaped frame 6.
[0016] In practical use, the U-shaped frame 6 is abutted against the upper end of the adjusting cover 3 and the insert rod 5 is inserted into the circular through groove on the surface of the top plate 4, so that the U-shaped frame 6 and the insert rod 5 cooperate to fix the position of the adjusting cover 3 at the top opening end of the packaging box 1.
[0017] Preferably, two sets of rectangular grooves are symmetrically opened on the bottom surface of the movable support 9, and longitudinal threaded grooves are opened on the upper surface of the grooves.
[0018] In practical use, the rectangular groove at the bottom of the movable tray 9 makes it easy to install the movable wheels, thus facilitating the movement of the movable tray 9.
[0019] Preferably, the support frame 10 has an "L" shaped structure, with trapezoidal limiting grooves 11 longitudinally opened at both ends, and the shape and size of the limiting grooves 11 are adapted to the protrusion on one side of the connecting plate 12.
[0020] In practical use, the trapezoidal protrusion connected to one side of the connecting plate 12 is inserted into the limiting groove 11, thereby engaging and connecting the four sets of foam boards 13 and honeycomb boards 14 around the support frame 10.
[0021] Preferably, the top surface of the inner wall of the packaging box 1 is connected to the top frame 15, the inner wall surface of the top frame 15 is fitted with the component box 16, the bottom surface of the top frame 15 is movably abutted against the foam box 17, and the surface of the foam box 17 is fitted and connected to the inner wall of the support frame 10.
[0022] In practical use, the medium-sized drone to be transported is placed inside the foam box 17, and then the foam box 17 is placed between two sets of symmetrically arranged support frames 10, thereby fixing the position of the foam box 17 on the movable tray 9.
[0023] Preferably, two sets of support frames 10 are symmetrically distributed on the top of the movable tray 9, and a rectangular groove is formed between the support frames 10, the shape and size of which are adapted to the foam box 17.
[0024] In practical use, the rectangular groove formed between the two sets of support frames 10 symmetrically distributed on the movable tray 9 is used to facilitate contact with the surface of the foam box 17, thereby fixing its position on the movable tray 9 and preventing it from shifting due to bumps during transportation.
[0025] Working principle: When storing and transporting medium-sized drones, a split-type foam box 17 with its upper and lower parts interlocking is selected based on the model and size of the drone to be transported. A groove is cut at the intersection of the upper and lower parts to fit the shape of the drone, with an error ≤2mm. This tight fit restricts displacement, while the elastic deformation of the foam material absorbs low-to-medium frequency vibrations. The medium-sized drone is placed inside the foam box 17, which is then placed between two symmetrically arranged support frames 10, thus fixing the position of the foam box 17 on the movable support 9. Simultaneously, the trapezoidal protrusion connected to one side of the connecting plate 12 is inserted into the limiting groove 11, thereby engaging and connecting four sets of foam boards 13 and honeycomb boards 14 around the support frame 10. In this design, the foam board 13 is a composite material of high-density EVA foam and mesh cloth, which has both elastic cushioning and certain support. Meanwhile, the honeycomb board 14 is an ABS honeycomb board with "grid-shaped" reinforcing ribs pressed on its surface, and its compressive strength reaches 50kPa, which can withstand external pressure of more than 100kg. Then, the two sets of moving wheels installed at the bottom of the moving tray 9 are used to slide the moving tray 9 into the packaging box 1 for placement. After the moving tray 9 is completely moved into the packaging box, the moving tray 9 is placed inside the packaging box 1. After the box body 1 is placed inside, four sets of foam boards 13 and honeycomb boards 14 on its surface abut against the inner wall of the packaging box body 1. Then, the matching accessories are placed in the component box 16 with corresponding shaped placement slots, and the component box 16 is inserted between the two top frames 15. The component box 16 is made of high-density EVA foam. Then, the pivot 2 at the connection between the packaging box body 1 and the adjusting cover 3 is used to allow the adjusting cover 3 to rotate upward and abut against the opening end of the packaging box body 1. This allows the inner wall of the adjusting cover 3 to abut against the adjusting cover 3 on the side near the opening end of the packaging box body 1. Then, the U-shaped frame 6 abuts against the upper end of the adjusting cover 3 and the insert rod 5 is used. Insert the U-shaped frame 6 and the rod 5 into the circular groove on the surface of the top plate 4, so that the U-shaped frame 6 and the rod 5 cooperate to fix the adjusting cover 3 at the opening end of the top of the packaging box 1. At this time, the bolt 8 is threadedly connected to the intersection of the side plate 7 and the U-shaped frame 6 to fix the connection between the two. During transportation, a rubber sealing ring is bonded to the intersection of the inner wall of the adjusting cover 3 and the packaging box 1 to fill the gap between the packaging box 1 and the adjusting cover 3. During transportation, the foam board 13 and the honeycomb board 14 are used to cushion and protect the foam box 17 placed in the support frame 10. In this design, both the packaging box 1 and the adjusting cover 3 are made of aluminum alloy.
