[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0015] Example: Figures 1-2 The diagram illustrates a charging system suitable for drones, comprising: a charging mechanism; the charging mechanism includes a charging shell 1, which is a rectangular hollow structure made of Q235B steel with a rust-proof coating. A conveyor belt 2 is installed inside the charging shell 1, and the conveyor belt 2 is made of wear-resistant rubber and is elongated elliptical. A drive wheel 3 and two support wheels 4 are provided on the inner top and bottom sides of the conveyor belt 2, respectively located on either side of the drive wheel 3. The drive wheel 3 allows the conveyor belt 2 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise. Several charging platforms 5 are mounted on the conveyor belt 2 via support frames; in this embodiment, there are 18 platforms. A recessed charging port 6 is installed on the left side of each charging platform 5, and an electronic rotating mechanism is provided at the bottom of each charging platform 5 to tilt it to the left or right at a certain angle, not exceeding 15 degrees.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the charging housing 1 can be either closed or open. If closed, a notch is made directly above the top of the conveyor belt 2 to facilitate the drone's landing on the charging platform 5. Stable supports 7 are provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the charging housing 1, equipped with anchor bolt holes to enhance the wind resistance and stability of the charging mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a power receiving mechanism; the power receiving mechanism includes a power receiving base 8, which is made of PVC plastic and has a spring clip 9 on the top for securing it to the bottom of the drone. A telescopic charging rod 10 is located on the left side of the power receiving base 8. The telescopic charging rod 10 is driven by a micro stepper motor and is electrically connected to a recessed charging port 6. A telescopic slot 11 is also provided on the left side of the power receiving base 8, in which the telescopic charging rod 10 is placed and can be retracted and hidden. Two stabilizing legs 12 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the power receiving base 8 to enhance the landing stability of the drone.

[0018] In practical application, the charging system uses spring clips 9 to mount the charging mechanism on the bottom of the drone. The drone is then controlled to land on the charging platform 5. After stopping, the drive wheels 3 rotate counterclockwise a certain distance, causing the current platform carrying the drone to move to the left and descend one level, while the empty platform on the right rises to the top. The electronic mechanism then tilts the charging platform 5 to the left at a certain angle, allowing the drone to slide towards the recessed charging port 6. The telescopic charging rod 10 extends, completing the docking and charging process. After charging is complete, the electronic mechanism returns the charging platform 5 to its original position, separating the drone from the recessed charging port 6, and the telescopic charging rod 10 retracts.

[0019] The charging system in this embodiment solves the problems of difficult outdoor charging and transportation of drones. It can accommodate 18 drones inside the compartment and keep them charging, allowing for long-term operation without cable power. It connects to the external power connection mechanism of the drones, eliminating the need for manual battery insertion and removal. It is highly adaptable and suitable for most drone platforms. Furthermore, due to its simple structure, it can be customized using technologies such as 3D printing for specific drones. It is also suitable for drone swarm operations; the wheel-type structure allows for the simultaneous launch of 18 drones, completing all takeoffs within one minute. It also features a recovery and charging function and provides a rainproof and impact-resistant protective location.

[0020] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent solutions made using the contents of this utility model specification, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are also within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
