Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of drone supporting equipment, specifically relating to a drone transport box. Background Technology

[0002] Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aerial vehicles with wings fixed to the fuselage that rely on a power unit for propulsion. They are characterized by long endurance, high flight speed, and strong payload capacity, and are widely used in military, public utilities, industrial, and commercial fields. They are particularly prevalent in areas such as power line inspection and logistics distribution.

[0003] Currently, the transfer and transportation of drones usually requires disassembling the drone's wings, tail, etc., packing them into transfer boxes for transport. During the disassembly process, a gantry crane is needed to lift the drone onto a specific frame. After disassembly, the gantry crane is still needed to lift the drone's parts and body into the packaging box for transfer. The same applies during assembly; the gantry crane is still needed to lift the body onto the supporting frame, and then the parts are installed manually before the gantry crane is used to lift the entire drone down.

[0004] The entire process of disassembling and packing the drone into the transport box involves frequent transfers and requires a large number of workers, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a drone transport box is provided to solve the problem of low drone assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A drone transport box, comprising:

[0007] The box body has a first protective door and a second protective door at both ends along a first direction. The bottom of the first protective door is hinged to the box body, and its top flips to contact the ground to form a tail plate.

[0008] The movable chassis is slidably disposed within the housing along the first direction;

[0009] A lifting device is mounted on the mobile chassis;

[0010] A bracket is installed at the output end of the lifting device, and the bracket is used to support and fix the drone.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0012] By fixing the drone to the bracket, personnel can easily assemble and disassemble the drone directly on the bracket. After assembly, the drone is lifted using a lifting device and then the support wheels are installed. The drone is then lowered using the lifting device and landed on the support wheels. The entire process eliminates the need for frequent lifting and moving of the drone by a crane, resulting in high assembly and disassembly efficiency. Moreover, the mobile chassis can directly push the drone into the container, and the container, mobile chassis, and drone can be transported together, greatly improving the efficiency of drone assembly, deployment, disassembly, and transfer.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows:

[0014] In one embodiment, a guide limiting mechanism is provided in the housing, and wheels that cooperate with the guide limiting mechanism are provided at the bottom of the mobile chassis. The mobile chassis moves into the housing and is limited by the guide limiting mechanism.

[0015] The guide and limit mechanism can accurately guide the mobile chassis into the box without colliding with the inner wall of the box. At the same time, after the mobile chassis enters the box, it is limited and fixed to prevent shaking.

[0016] In one embodiment, the guide limiting mechanism includes:

[0018] A limiting device is provided at one end of the guide rail near the second protective door, and is used to abut against the first end of the mobile chassis to limit the extreme position of the mobile chassis entering the box;

[0019] A stop device is provided at one end of the guide rail near the first protective door. The stop device is rotatably connected to the housing. When rotated to a vertical position, the stop device abuts against the second end of the movable chassis to restrict the movement of the movable chassis along the first direction.

[0020] The guide rails work in conjunction with the wheels in the mobile chassis to provide guidance. The combination of the limiting device and the stop device restricts both ends of the mobile chassis, preventing it from shaking in the housing. Furthermore, the stop device can be rotated to remove the restriction, allowing the mobile chassis to exit from this end.

[0021] In one embodiment, the stopping device includes:

[0022] A stop seat is located at the bottom of the housing.

[0023] A stop block, wherein a rotating shaft is inserted, and both ends of the rotating shaft pass through the stop seat;

[0024] A pin passes radially through the pivot shaft, with one end of the pin abutting against the stop seat to keep the stop block in a vertical position.

[0025] Specifically, the stop block is fixed in a vertical position by the cooperation of the pin inserted into the pivot and the stop seat, thus preventing the chassis from moving.

[0026] In one embodiment, the system further includes several support rods, and several slots are provided at intervals on both sides of the inner wall of the box. The two ends of the support rods are matched and inserted into the slots, and the tops of the several support rods form a support surface.

[0027] The combination of support rods and slots forms a detachable support platform, allowing boxes and other items to be placed on top of multiple support rods and secured to them to accommodate more accessories.

[0028] In one embodiment, the housing includes:

[0029] A first housing, with an opening at the top;

[0030] Several second boxes, which are vertically connected, are stacked sequentially at the top opening of the first box;

[0031] The third box is placed on top of the second box at the very top.

[0032] In one embodiment, a plurality of limiting plates abutting against the outer side of the second box are provided on both sides of the first box, and a plurality of lifting lugs are also provided on both sides of the first box.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first protective door includes:

[0034] The door body, the bottom of which is hinged to the bottom of the box body;

[0035] A locking rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the door. Locking hooks are provided on both sides of the locking rod, and a locking buckle is provided on the box body corresponding to the locking hooks.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bottom of the box is provided with a plurality of omnidirectional brake wheels, and the bottom of the box is provided with a forklift slot.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mobile chassis includes:

[0038] A fixed frame, one end of which is provided with an avoidance notch to avoid the support wheels of the drone;

[0039] Several fixing plates are fixed at both ends to the fixing frame, and the fixing plates are used to install the lifting device;

[0040] Several wheels are disposed at the bottom of the fixed frame.

[0041] By creating an clearance notch at one end of the fixed frame, the support wheels can contact the ground through the clearance notch after they are installed on the drone, making it easy to pull out the entire mobile chassis from the bottom of the drone. Attached Figure Description

[0059] Example

[0060] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a drone transport box, which includes: a box body 1, a mobile chassis 2, a lifting device 3, and a bracket 4.

[0061] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the box body 1 has a first protective door 5 and a second protective door 6 at both ends along the first direction, where the first direction is the length direction of the box body 1. The bottom of the first protective door 5 is hinged to the box body 1, and its top flips to contact the ground to form a tail plate, so that the ramp formed by the first protective door 5 can be used to enter and exit the box body 1.

[0062] The movable chassis 2 is slidably disposed in the housing 1 along the first direction. The movable chassis 2 can be pushed into the housing 1 from the tail plate formed by the first protective door 5 and pushed out of the housing 1. When pushed out, the second protective door 6 can be opened and the movable chassis 2 can be pushed out from the other end.

[0063] The lifting device 3 is mounted on the mobile chassis 2, and the bracket 4 is installed at the output end of the lifting device 3. The bracket 4 is used to lift and fix the drone. The lifting device 3 can drive the bracket 4 to move up and down, thereby lifting and adjusting the drone to move up and down.

[0064] The lifting device 3 can be a screw jack, whose input end can be connected to a motor for driving, or it can be lifted by hand crank.

[0065] By fixing the drone to the bracket 4, personnel can easily assemble and disassemble the drone directly on the bracket 4. After assembly, the drone is lifted by the lifting device 3 and then the support wheels are installed. The drone is then lowered by the lifting device 3 and landed on the support wheels. The entire process does not require frequent lifting and moving of the drone by a crane, resulting in high assembly and disassembly efficiency. Moreover, the mobile chassis 2 can directly push the drone into the box 1 and transport the box 1, mobile chassis 2, and drone together, greatly improving the efficiency of drone assembly, deployment, disassembly, and transfer.

[0066] To ensure that the mobile chassis 2 can be controlled to enter the housing 1, a guide limiting mechanism 7 is provided in the housing 1. The bottom of the mobile chassis 2 is provided with wheels 203 that cooperate with the guide limiting mechanism 7. The mobile chassis 2 moves into the housing 1 and is limited by the guide limiting mechanism 7.

[0067] The guide and limit mechanism 7 can accurately guide the mobile chassis 2 into the housing 1 without colliding with the inner wall of the housing 1. At the same time, after the mobile chassis 2 enters the housing 1, it is limited and fixed to prevent shaking.

[0068] Specifically, the guide limiting mechanism 7 includes: a guide rail 701, a limiting device 702, and a stop device 703.

[0069] The guide rail 701 is disposed in the housing 1 along the first direction, and the wheel 203 is confined in the guide rail 701. Specifically, the guide rail 701 is arranged in the bottom of the housing 1 along the first direction from the end near the first protective door 5, so that the mobile chassis 2 entering from the first protective door 5 can directly enter the guide rail 701 and be controlled.

[0070] The limiting device 702 and the stopping device 703 work together to limit the movement at both ends of the mobile chassis 2, preventing the mobile chassis 2 from shaking inside the housing 1.

[0071] The limiting device 702 is disposed at one end of the guide rail 701 near the second protective door 6, and is used to abut against the first end of the movable chassis 2 to limit the movable chassis 2 from entering the box 1 to the extreme position. The limiting device 702 is a fixed block fixed in the box 1, which limits the movable chassis 2 from entering the box 1 to the extreme position.

[0072] A stop device 703 is disposed at one end of the guide rail 701 near the first protective door 5. The stop device 703 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The rotating stop device 703 can selectively achieve blocking and limiting or no limiting. When limited, the stop device 703 is used to abut against the second end of the movable chassis 2 when rotated to a vertical state, so as to restrict the movement of the movable chassis 2 along the first direction.

[0073] The guide rail 701, in conjunction with the wheels 203 in the mobile chassis 2, serves as a guide. The limit device 702 and the stop device 703 work together to restrict both ends of the mobile chassis 2, preventing it from swaying in the housing 1. Furthermore, the stop device 703 can be rotated to cancel the restriction, allowing the mobile chassis 2 to exit from this end.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the stopping device 703 includes: a stopping seat 7031, a stopping block 7032, a rotating shaft 7033, and a pin 7034.

[0075] A stop seat 7031 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 1. A rotating shaft 7033 passes through a stop block 7032. Both ends of the rotating shaft 7033 pass through the stop seat 7031. The stop block 7032 is rotatably connected to the stop seat 7031 via the rotating shaft 7033. A hole is radially formed on the portion of the rotating shaft 7033 that passes outside the stop seat 7031. A pin 7034 passes radially through the rotating shaft 7033 via this hole. The end abuts against the stop seat 7031 to keep the stop block 7032 in a vertical state. Specifically, the stop block 7032 is restricted to a vertical state by the cooperation of the pin 7034 inserted into the rotating shaft 7033 and the stop seat 7031, which serves to block the moving chassis 2. When it is necessary to release this restriction, the pin 7034 is pulled out, and the stop block 7032 can fall down to a horizontal state with the rotation of the pin 7034. At this time, the stop block 7032 does not restrict the moving chassis 2.

[0076] To improve the utilization of the upper space inside the box 1, several support rods 8 are also included. Several slots are provided at intervals on both sides of the inner wall of the box 1. The two ends of the support rods 8 are matched and inserted into the slots. The tops of the several support rods 8 form a support surface, that is, the tops of the several support rods 8 are on the same plane, which facilitates the stable placement of other boxes 1. Alternatively, a pad can be placed on the support surface to make it easier to place other items. The cooperation of the support rods 8 and the slots forms a detachable support platform. Boxes 1, etc., can be placed on top of multiple support rods 8 and tied and fixed to the support rods 8 to accommodate more accessories, etc.

[0077] In this embodiment, the box 1 includes: a first box 101, two second boxes 102 and a third box 103.

[0078] The first box 101 is equipped with a guide and limiting mechanism 7 for placing the mobile chassis 2. At the same time, two protective doors are also set at both ends of the first box 101. The top of the first box 101 is open, and the second box 102 is vertically connected and stacked on the top opening of the first box 101. The third box 103 covers the top of the second box 102. The height of the entire box 1 is increased by stacking multiple boxes 1, making full use of the space above the first box 101. The number of second boxes 102 can be selected according to the number of items to be placed.

[0079] To ensure the installation stability of the second housing 102 and the third housing 103, several limiting pieces 9 are provided on both sides of the first housing 101 to abut against the outside of the second housing 102, and several lifting lugs 10 are also provided on both sides of the first housing 101.

[0080] The limiting piece 9 can stabilize the second box 102, which is in contact with the first box 101 at the bottom. Then, the fixing ropes tied by the lifting lugs 10 on both sides of the first box 101 pass over the third box 103 at the top and fix the second box 102 and the third box 103 together.

[0081] The second housing 102 and the third housing 103 can be stably connected to the second housing 102 through a stop.

[0082] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the first protective door 5 includes: door body 501 and locking rod 502.

[0083] The bottom of the door 501 is hinged to the bottom of the box 1. The locking rod 502 is rotatably connected to the outside of the door 501. The locking rod 502 is provided with locking hooks 503 on both sides. The box 1 is provided with a lock buckle 504 corresponding to the locking hooks 503. When the locking rod 502 is flipped down to the position, the locking hooks 503 are hooked on the lock buckle 504.

[0084] The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with several universal brake wheels 11 and a forklift slot 12, which not only allows the housing 1 to be pushed manually, but also facilitates the forklift forks to be inserted into the forklift slot 12 for handling.

[0085] In this embodiment, the mobile chassis 2 includes: a fixed frame 201, two fixed plates 202 and wheels 203, wherein the wheels 203 may be universal brake wheels 11.

[0086] One end of the fixed frame 201 is provided with an avoidance notch to avoid the support wheel of the UAV. A reinforcing rod is provided at the avoidance notch for reinforcement. Both ends of the fixed plate 202 are fixed to the fixed frame 201. The fixed plate 202 is used to install the lifting device 3. Several wheels 203 are provided at the bottom of the fixed frame 201.

[0087] By creating an clearance notch at one end of the fixed frame 201, the support wheels can contact the ground through the clearance notch after they are installed on the drone, making it convenient to pull out the entire mobile chassis 2 from the bottom of the drone at this time.

[0088] In practical use, the drone body is placed directly on the bracket 4. When installation is required, the first protective door 5 and the second protective door 6 are opened, the pin 7034 on the stop block 7032 is pulled out and placed on the stop block 7032, and personnel enter through the second protective door 6 to push the mobile chassis 2. The mobile chassis 2 and the drone are pushed out of the box 1 from the first protective door 5. Then, the other parts of the drone are assembled directly on the bracket 4. When assembling the support wheels, the drone is raised by the lifting device 3. After the support wheels are installed, the drone is lowered so that the support wheels are on the ground. At this time, the mobile chassis 2 can be pulled out from the rear, without the need for frequent lifting of the drone by a crane. Similarly, when packing and transferring, the mobile chassis 2 is first placed at the bottom of the drone, and the drone is lifted. Then, each part is manually removed. The drone is then pushed directly into the box 1 along with the mobile chassis 2. After being limited by the limiting device 702, the stop block 7032 is erected against the other end of the mobile chassis 2, and then the pin 7034 is inserted to fix it. After that, the protective door is closed.

[0089] 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 the 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.
