Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically to a vehicle-mounted lifting and power supply device for UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of small drones, transporting dozens or even hundreds of drones at once for missions has become a trend. However, large-scale transportation and use of drones present the following problems: when the mission location is far from the departure point, the drones need to remain silent for several days or even more than a week, while simultaneously requiring rapid power-up and launch during missions; if power-up is performed before transportation, the drones' internal electrical systems may deplete the limited battery power, leaving insufficient charge for flight during missions; and if manual power-up is performed upon arrival at the destination, the large number of drones makes the process slow, failing to meet the rapid response requirements in emergency scenarios. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically and rapidly power up drones during missions to better meet practical needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted lifting and power-on device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which can automatically and quickly power on the UAV during mission execution.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A vehicle-mounted lifting and power-on device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes:

[0006] A transport container, wherein a receiving chamber is formed inside the transport container, and an output opening is formed at the top of the transport container;

[0007] A lifting mechanism, wherein the lifting mechanism is located inside the transport container;

[0008] Several drones are stacked on a lifting mechanism from bottom to top, and the lifting mechanism drives each drone to move up and down.

[0010] Each of the aforementioned drones is equipped with a battery;

[0011] Each of the aforementioned drones is equipped with a relay. The battery on each drone is electrically connected to the drone's control board via the relay. The power-on triggering component on each drone is electrically connected to the drone's relay.

[0012] Furthermore, the power-on triggering component is a distance sensor switch, and the sensing end of the distance sensor switch faces the inner wall of the transport container.

[0013] Furthermore, the power-on triggering component is electrically connected to the battery.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting platform movably disposed within the transport box, a drive screw rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the transport box in a vertical direction, a drive motor connected to one end of the drive screw, and a nut seat disposed on the lifting platform; the drive screw and the nut seat are threadedly connected.

[0015] Furthermore, a nut seat is provided on both sides of the lifting platform, and each nut seat is equipped with a corresponding drive screw, and each drive screw is connected to a drive motor.

[0016] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism also includes a guide column disposed vertically within the transport box, and the lifting platform is slidably assembled with the guide column.

[0017] Furthermore, the drone includes a fuselage, four connecting arms connected to the fuselage, and a rotor assembly on each connecting arm; the power-on triggering component, battery, and relay are all located on the fuselage.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] Please see the appendix Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted lifting and power-on device 100 for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the lifting and power-on device 100 comprising:

[0035] The transport container 1 has a receiving chamber 11 inside and an output opening 12 on the top of the transport container 1. The receiving chamber 11 is used to receive the drone, and the output opening 12 is the opening for the drone 3 to enter and exit the transport container 1.

[0036] Lifting mechanism 2, which is located inside the transport container 1, is used to drive the drone 3 stored in the transport container 1 to move up and down;

[0037] Several drones 3 are stacked on the lifting mechanism 2 from bottom to top, that is, the drones 3 are stacked one by one from bottom to top, and the lifting mechanism 2 drives the drones 3 to move up and down.

[0038] Power-on triggering component 4: Each of the aforementioned drones 3 is equipped with a power-on triggering component 4, which is used to generate a trigger signal to control the power-on of the drone 3 according to the trigger signal;

[0039] Battery 5, each of the aforementioned drones 3 is equipped with a battery 5, which is used to provide the working power required by the drone 3 when it is working;

[0040] Each drone 3 is equipped with a relay 6. The battery 5 on each drone 3 is electrically connected to the control board (not shown) of the drone 3 through the relay 6. The power-on triggering component 4 on each drone 3 is electrically connected to the relay 6 of the drone 3, so as to control the opening and closing of the relay 6 on the drone 3 by using the power-on triggering component 4, thereby realizing automatic power-on control of the drone 3.

[0041] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the power-on triggering component 4 is a distance sensor switch, with its sensing end facing the inner wall of the transport container 1. Thus, when the drone 3 is inside the transport container 1, the distance sensor switch detects an obstruction, controlling the relay 6 to disconnect, preventing the battery 5 from supplying power to the drone 3's control board. When the drone 3 is outside the transport container 1, the distance sensor switch detects no obstruction, controlling the relay 6 to automatically power on the drone 3. Of course, the above is only one specific embodiment of this utility model, but it is not limited to this. In specific implementations, other sensors can be used according to actual needs, as long as they can generate a low-level signal to the relay 6 when there is an obstruction and a high-level signal to the relay 6 when there is no obstruction.

[0042] The working principle of the lifting and power-on device 100 of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] Please refer to the following carefully. Figure 1 As shown, after the drone 3 is transported to its destination, during the mission, the drones 3 stacked on the lifting mechanism 2 are lifted upwards by the lifting mechanism 2.

[0044] When the drone 3 is lifted above the transport container 1, the power-on triggering component 4 on the drone 3 is no longer obstructed. At this time, the power-on triggering component 4 triggers a high-level signal to the relay 6 on the drone 3, causing the relay 6 to connect the circuit between the battery 5 and the control board of the drone 3, thereby realizing the automatic power-on of the drone 3. However, for the drone 3 that is not lifted above the transport container 1, since the power-on triggering component 4 on the drone 3 is obstructed by the transport container 1, the power-on triggering component 4 will trigger a low-level signal to the relay 6 on the drone 3, causing the relay 6 to disconnect, thereby putting the drone 3 in a power-off state.

[0045] By adopting the above-described technical solution of this utility model, at least the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0046] By employing the coordinated use of three simple and reliable electrical components—battery 5, relay 6, and power-on triggering component 4—the UAV 3 can achieve long-term transportation with low power consumption, while also enabling rapid and automatic power-on during mission execution. Therefore, on the one hand, it effectively avoids the high power consumption caused by powering on other components during storage and transportation, and the automatic power-on of each UAV 3 prevents communication signal interference. On the other hand, it achieves fully automated deployment, eliminating the tedious steps of manually retrieving the UAV 3 and manually powering it on, enabling one-click operation from vehicle-mounted storage to aerial operation, significantly shortening the deployment time of the UAV 3 and greatly improving emergency response capabilities.

[0047] In some embodiments of this invention, the power-on trigger component 4 is electrically connected to the battery 5. Because the distance sensor switch consumes very little power during operation, with a maximum power of only 0.1W and a daily operating power consumption of only 2.4Wh, the power-on trigger component 4 can be directly powered by the battery 5 of the drone 3, thus avoiding the need for an additional battery.

[0048] Please refer to the following embodiments of this utility model. Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a lifting platform 21 movably disposed within the transport container 1, a drive screw 22 rotatably disposed on the inner side wall of the transport container 1 along the vertical direction, a drive motor 23 connected to one end of the drive screw 22, and a nut seat 24 disposed on the lifting platform 21; the drive screw 22 and the nut seat 24 are threadedly connected. In actual operation, the lifting mechanism 2 uses the drive motor 23 to drive the drive screw 22 to rotate. Because the drive screw 22 is threadedly connected to the nut seat 24, and the nut seat 24 is disposed on the lifting platform 21, the drive screw 22 can drive the lifting platform 21 to rise and fall when it rotates.

[0049] Furthermore, a nut seat 24 is provided on both sides of the lifting platform 21, and each nut seat 24 is correspondingly equipped with a drive screw 22, and each drive screw 22 is connected to a drive motor 23. This invention, by providing nut seats 24, drive screws 22, and drive motors 23 on both sides of the lifting platform 21, enables a more stable lifting and lowering motion of the lifting platform 21 during actual operation.

[0050] Furthermore, in order to further improve the stability of the lifting platform 21 during the lifting process, and thus enable each UAV 3 to lift more smoothly, the lifting mechanism 2 also includes a guide column 25 arranged vertically in the transport box 1, and the lifting platform 21 is slidably assembled with the guide column 25.

[0051] Please refer to the following embodiments of this utility model. Figure 4 As shown, the drone 3 includes a fuselage 31, four connecting arms 32 connected to the fuselage 31, and a rotor assembly 33 disposed on each connecting arm 32; the power-on triggering component 4, battery 5 and relay 6 are all disposed on the fuselage 31; wherein, the rotor assembly 33 is used to provide power for the flight of the drone 3.

[0052] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the battery 5 is located in the middle of the body 31, and the power-on triggering component 4 and the relay 6 are located in the front or rear of the body 31.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, a support rod 34 extends downward from the bottom of each connecting arm 32, and a support groove 35 is provided at the top of each connecting arm 32 at the position corresponding to the support rod 34. In practical use, when the drone 3 is stored in the transport container 1, the support rod 34 of the lowest drone 3 can be supported on the lifting platform 21, while the support rod 34 of the previous drone 3 is supported on the support groove 35 of the next drone 3. This allows for the storage of each drone while preventing them from interfering with each other, so that each drone 3 can be powered on and taken off after being lifted to the required height.

[0054] 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.
