Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone charging equipment technology, and more specifically to a drawer-type drone charging device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, drones have become an indispensable tool in modern policing. Leveraging their flexibility, mobility, and lack of terrain limitations, drones play a vital role in various fields such as security patrols, traffic management, and emergency rescue. Especially in emergency response, drones can quickly reach the scene and transmit firsthand information in real time, providing strong support for command and decision-making. However, in practical policing, the insufficient battery life of drones has become a key bottleneck restricting their effectiveness.

[0003] Currently, drones primarily use traditional charging methods, which involve manually connecting the drone to a charging device. This method has several limitations: firstly, the charging process requires dedicated personnel, increasing labor costs; secondly, the charging efficiency is low, failing to meet the urgent needs of rapid response and continuous operation in police work. Especially in large-scale security missions or emergency response, multiple drones often need to operate simultaneously, and traditional charging methods cannot meet this requirement, severely impacting the efficiency of police work.

[0004] While existing drone charging bays have addressed some of the shortcomings of traditional charging methods, they still have significant drawbacks: First, current charging bays offer limited product models and lack compatibility with multiple drone types, failing to meet the charging needs of different police drones. Second, the devices are bulky and cumbersome, and generally employ a top-opening design, occupying excessive space when multiple drones are deployed in parallel, severely limiting their adaptability to various application scenarios. Particularly in police operations, where different police units are equipped with varying drone models, traditional charging bays often lead to deployment chaos and make it difficult to charge multiple drones simultaneously in space-constrained locations such as key areas, significantly impacting police efficiency. Therefore, developing a new drone charging system that is adaptable to multiple drone models, space-saving, and easy to deploy has become an urgent need in the current development of drone technology.

The parking platform is equipped with a charging interface, which is electrically connected to the power supply. The drone charging terminal, led out through a lead wire, is connected to the charging interface to realize drone charging.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes: a camera installed on the top of the pole, which is connected to and powered by the power source inside the charging compartment; the camera is also connected to a remote server for data communication, and sends real-time video or images of the drone charging compartment's working status to the remote server.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an exhaust fan mounted on the drone charging compartment housing.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple drone charging compartments are fixedly installed on the pole in a multi-layer stacking manner, including: multiple drone charging compartments are arranged longitudinally and fixedly installed on the pole in sequence.

[0012] Furthermore, an automatic positioning mechanism is installed on the parking platform. This automatic positioning device includes an X-axis positioning mechanism and a Y-axis positioning mechanism. The X-axis positioning mechanism includes two parallel side baffles, which are driven by an X-axis motor to reciprocate along the X-axis direction. The Y-axis positioning mechanism includes a pair of front and rear baffles, which are driven by a Y-axis motor to reciprocate along the Y-axis direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the charging compartment measures 1 meter in length, 0.95 meters in width, and 0.7 meters in height.

[0014] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model's drawer-type drone charging device, through its modular drawer-style structure design, enables multi-layer stacking deployment, significantly saving floor space and efficiently meeting the parallel charging needs of multiple police drones. Simultaneously, the charging compartment is equipped with an electrically operated automatic opening and closing system, effectively avoiding mechanical damage to the parking platform caused by traditional manual dragging, and significantly extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a drone charging device, including: a pole 1 and at least one drone charging compartment 2; multiple drone charging compartments 2 are fixedly installed on the pole 1 in a multi-layer stacked manner, and the drone's battery charging terminal is led out through a lead wire and hung on the drone's support leg. Wherein:

[0025] Pole 1 can be a street light pole or a specially installed support pole.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, each drone charging compartment 2 has a square drawer-type structure, including a parking platform 21, a charging interface 22, an electric switch 23, and a power supply 24. The parking platform 21, located inside the compartment, can be slid out or pushed in along a guide rail. The electric switch 23 is used to control the pulling out or pushing in of the parking platform 21. The parking platform 21 is equipped with a charging interface 22, and the power supply 24, located inside the compartment, is connected to the charging interface 22 to provide electrical energy. When the drone is parked in the parking platform 21, the drone charging terminal, led out through a lead wire, is connected to the charging interface to achieve drone charging.

[0027] The charging compartment is made of steel-aluminum composite material and has an overall rectangular shape. The outer shell of the charging compartment is made of aluminum alloy, and the internal frame is made of steel, which provides good strength and corrosion resistance. The dimensions of the charging compartment are 1 meter long, 0.95 meters wide, and 0.7 meters high.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple drone charging pods are stacked vertically together. The number of drone charging pods can be determined according to the height of the pole. The bottom of the lowest drone charging pod is at least 2 meters above the ground to prevent drones from being stolen.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] The drone charging device in this embodiment, based on the first embodiment, further includes: an exhaust fan 25 installed on the drone charging compartment housing for heat dissipation and to reduce the temperature of the drone charging compartment.

[0031] Example 3:

[0032] This embodiment of the drone charging device, based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, further includes an automatic positioning mechanism mounted on the landing platform 21. This automatic positioning mechanism comprises an X-axis positioning mechanism and a Y-axis positioning mechanism. The X-axis positioning mechanism includes two parallel side baffles, which are driven by an X-axis motor to reciprocate along the X-axis. The Y-axis positioning mechanism includes a pair of front and rear baffles, which are driven by a Y-axis motor to reciprocate along the Y-axis. The motors are connected to a power supply 24 located inside the cabin, which supplies power to the drone. When the drone is placed on the landing platform 21, the Y-axis motor first drives the front and rear baffles to longitudinally position the drone. Then, the X-axis motor drives the left and right side baffles to achieve lateral positioning, ultimately precisely positioning the drone at the location of the charging interface on the landing platform 21. This allows the drone charging terminal, led out via a lead wire, to connect with the charging interface, thus enabling drone charging.

[0033] It should be noted that the automatic positioning mechanism in this embodiment can adopt existing technology / products (such as CN212172569U - an automatic positioning mechanism for vehicle-mounted drones), and does not involve improvements in program or control methods.

[0036] The above embodiments provide a drone charging device. This drone charging device adopts a modular drawer-type structure design, supports multi-layer stacking deployment, significantly saves floor space, and can meet the parallel charging needs of multiple police drones. The charging device is equipped with an electric automatic opening and closing system, avoiding mechanical damage to the parking platform caused by traditional manual dragging methods, effectively extending the equipment's service life. The parking platform uses an automatic positioning system; users only need to place the drone on the platform for automatic positioning. This system achieves automatic and precise drone positioning through the coordinated control of X and Y axis dual motors. First, the Y-axis motor drives the front and rear baffles to achieve longitudinal positioning, then the X-axis motor drives the double side baffles to complete the drone's lateral positioning, ultimately ensuring that the drone's charging terminal led out by the lead wire connects to the charging interface. Since charging is performed through the drone's battery lead-out end, this drone charging device has good model adaptability and can support online charging operations for various drone models.

[0037] 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.
