[0059] Please see Figures 1 to 11 This embodiment provides a smart storage cabinet for unmanned aerial vehicles, including: cabinet body 101, charging panel 30, first cabinet door 102, electronic switch 20, main control board, unlocking circuit, lock status detection circuit and communication circuit;

[0060] The cabinet 101 has a storage cavity 104, which includes a controller storage area and a drone body storage area. The controller storage area is used to store the drone controller 110, and the drone body storage area is used to store the drone body.

[0061] The charging panel 30 is located in the controller storage area;

[0062] The first cabinet door 102 is hinged to the cabinet body 101, and the first cabinet door 102 is used to open or close the storage cavity 104;

[0063] Electronic switch 20 is used to lock or unlock the first cabinet door 102 and the cabinet body 101;

[0064] The main control board is located inside the cabinet 101 and on one side of the storage cavity 104. The main control board is electrically connected to the charging panel 30 through a charging circuit. The main control board is electrically connected to the electronic switch 20 through a lock status detection circuit. The lock status detection circuit is used to detect the current status of the electronic switch 20. The main control board is electrically connected to the communication circuit, which is used for unlocking signals. The main control board is electrically connected to the electronic switch 20 through an unlocking circuit. After receiving the unlocking signal, the main control board is configured to control the electronic switch 20 to unlock the first cabinet door 102 and the cabinet 101 through the unlocking circuit.

[0065] Cabinet 101 is typically rectangular in shape, and one or more storage compartments 104 can be provided inside as needed, with the structure as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. The storage cavity 104 is divided into two areas: a controller storage area and a UAV main body storage area, with the structure as follows. Figure 3 As shown, the controller storage area and the drone main body storage area can be configured with different spatial layouts according to actual needs. For example, the two areas can be arranged side by side inside cabinet 101, distributed horizontally, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown; they can also be stacked vertically to form a vertical layout. Furthermore, the two areas can be interconnected shared spaces, or they can be physically separated by partitions to independently store the UAV main body 100 and its controller 110. The UAV main body 100 refers to the UAV's flight body, whose main function is to perform aerial flight and operational tasks. Figure 3 The drone body 100 shown can be placed in a matching box and then stored in the drone body storage area. The controller 110, also known as the drone remote control, is a handheld wireless control device used for remotely operating the drone. Users can send flight commands (such as takeoff, landing, turning, etc.) to the drone body 100 by operating the joystick, buttons, or dials on the controller 110, thereby achieving real-time control of the drone.

[0066] One end of the charging cable can be connected to the charging panel 30, and the other end can be electrically connected to the drone controller 110. The main control board controls the power output through the charging circuit to supply power to the controller 110 from the drone smart storage cabinet 10. Alternatively, the drone body 100 can also be charged through the charging panel 30.

[0067] The first cabinet door 102 can rotate around the hinge to open or close the storage cavity 104, facilitating user access to and from the equipment. Once closed, the cabinet door is locked via an electronic switch 20 to prevent unauthorized opening. Figures 1 to 3 The first cabinet door 102 is shown to be open, and the electronic switch 20 is in the unlocked state.

[0068] The electronic switch 20 is a mechanical actuator controlled by an electrical signal, used to automatically lock and unlock the first cabinet door 102 and the cabinet body 101. The lock body of the electronic switch 20 (e.g., a motor-driven bolt) can be installed inside the cabinet body 101, and the keyhole can be installed on the side of the first cabinet door 102. When an unlock signal is received, the actuator in the lock body actuates (e.g., the motor-driven bolt retracts), allowing the first cabinet door 102 to open. Conversely, during the closing process, the lock body extends the bolt and inserts it into the keyhole on the first cabinet door 102 to complete the locking.

[0069] The lock status detection circuit can monitor the current status of the electronic switch 20 in real time, determine whether the cabinet door is locked or unlocked, and feed the status information back to the main control board to achieve closed-loop control. The main control board can determine whether the first cabinet door 102 is abnormal based on the status information, and promptly warn the staff if it is abnormal.

[0070] The communication circuit can establish a communication connection with the local interaction module located on cabinet 101 to realize local operation control. The local interaction module includes physical buttons, a touch screen, or a barcode scanner, which allows users to input operation commands to realize on-site self-service rental or return operations. Alternatively, the communication circuit can establish a communication connection with the server to receive rental requests sent to the server by user terminals. After verifying the user's identity and permissions, the server generates a corresponding unlocking signal and sends it to the main control board through the communication circuit to trigger the electronic switch 20 to perform the unlocking action.

[0071] After receiving the unlocking signal, the main control board outputs an unlocking command to the electronic switch 20 through the unlocking circuit, driving the electronic switch 20 to unlock and release the lock between the first cabinet door 102 and the cabinet body 101, allowing the user to open the cabinet door and take away the drone and controller 110.

[0072] Compared with existing technologies, the drone-based intelligent storage cabinet has the following advantages:

[0073] 1. Through the coordinated operation of the electronic switch 20, main control board, unlocking circuit, lock status detection circuit and communication circuit, users can initiate unlocking requests at any time without manual intervention, significantly reducing operating labor costs.

[0074] 2. The working status of the electronic switch 20 can be detected by the cooperation of the main control board and the lock status detection circuit, and the locking or unlocking information of the cabinet door can be obtained, which improves the security of the storage cabinet 10.

[0075] 3. The separate storage areas for the controller and the main drone improve the orderliness of drone storage.

[0076] 4. The charging panel 30 is located in the controller storage area and can provide a charging interface for the drone's controller 110 or main body.

[0077] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the drone smart storage cabinet 10 also includes a camera 40, which is mounted on the cabinet body 101 and electrically connected to the main control board. The camera 40 is typically mounted on the front of the cabinet body 101 (the side with the first cabinet door 102), facing the user's operating area, ensuring clear capture of the user's facial features, handheld device screen, or surrounding environment when the user approaches the storage cabinet 10. The user can generate a rental voucher QR code via a mobile app. The camera 40 recognizes the QR code on the mobile phone screen, and the main control board parses the order information or user ID contained therein. After confirming authorization, the unlocking process is triggered. The camera 40 can be a USB camera 40, and its camera driving circuit structure can be as follows: Figure 9 As shown.

[0078] Depending on the usage scenario, the camera 40 can perform the following functions:

[0079] Facial recognition and identity verification: After a user initiates a rental request, camera 40 automatically starts, captures the user's facial image on site, and uploads it to the server via the main control board or through the communication circuit for comparison to verify whether the user is the current reservation user.

[0080] QR code scanning: Users can generate a rental voucher QR code through a mobile app. The camera 40 recognizes the QR code on the mobile phone screen, and the main control board parses the order information or user ID contained therein. After confirming the permissions, the unlocking signal is triggered.

[0081] Environmental status monitoring: Camera 40 can take pictures of the surrounding environment of storage cabinet 10 at regular intervals or as needed, improving equipment security.

[0082] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the drone smart storage cabinet 10 also includes a fire extinguishing patch 50 and a fire extinguishing patch detection circuit. The fire extinguishing patch 50 is located in the controller storage area and on one side of the charging panel 30. The fire extinguishing patch 50 is equipped with a fuse detector, which is electrically connected to the main control board through the fire extinguishing patch detection circuit. When the fire extinguishing patch 50 is near potential high-risk areas for thermal runaway, such as the drone controller 110 or charging interface, it will activate and release a fire extinguishing medium to initially prevent the fire. The circuit structure of the fire extinguishing patch detection circuit is as follows: Figure 10As shown, the fuse detector can be an R2868 flame sensor, which can be connected to pins 1 and 2 of Header 4 of the fire extinguishing patch detection circuit. When the controller 110 experiences a battery malfunction, short circuit, or poor heat dissipation during charging, causing the local temperature to rise continuously and exceed the temperature threshold of the fire extinguishing patch 50, the fire extinguishing patch 50 is activated, the fuse detector blows, and the circuit state changes from on to off. The fire extinguishing patch detection circuit detects the change in the on / off state of the fuse detector and sends it to the main control board. The main control board can then cut off the power, trigger an alarm, and upload alarm information to the server.

[0083] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the UAV intelligent storage cabinet 10 further includes a second cabinet door 103. An assembly cavity is provided inside the cabinet body 101, located on one side of the storage cavity 104. The main control board is located within the assembly cavity of the cabinet body 101, and the second cabinet door 103 is located within the assembly cavity. The assembly cavity can be located on the same side (i.e., the front side) as the storage cavity 104, or on a different side, such as the rear or left side. The main control board is installed within the assembly cavity and can be positioned using guide rail clips, bracket fixing, or screw installation to ensure stable operation and vibration resistance. The second cabinet door 103 is located at the opening of the assembly cavity and can be hinged or non-hinged. It is used to seal the assembly cavity, preventing dust, moisture, and foreign objects from entering, ensuring operational safety and data security. The second cabinet door 103 can be mechanically fastened, for example, by bolts (such as Phillips or hexagonal screws) to lock the second cabinet door 103 to the cabinet body 101. Alternatively, the second cabinet door 103 can be electronically locked, for example, by locking the second cabinet door 103 and the cabinet body 101 with a separate electronic lock.

[0084] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the drone smart storage cabinet 10 also includes a display module 60, which is mounted on the second cabinet door 103 and electrically connected to the main control board. The display module 60 is used to display the operating status or fault information of the storage cabinet 10, such as the opening and closing status of the first cabinet door 102, charging status, system alarm information, and user rental status (such as "equipment returned" or "currently being rented"). When the display screen integrated into the display module 60 is a touch screen, it can also serve as a human-machine interface for users to operate directly, such as initiating drone rental requests or querying available rental equipment information. By integrating touch functionality, information display and operation input are integrated, improving the intelligence level and ease of use of the equipment.

[0085] The display module 60 is typically mounted on the front of the cabinet 101 (the side with the first cabinet door 102), facing the user's operating area, for example... Figure 1 , Figure 2The display module 60 is integrated into the second cabinet door 103, which contains the main control board, facilitating circuit wiring.

[0086] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the drone intelligent storage cabinet 10 further includes indicator lights 70 and indicator light circuits. The indicator lights 70 are mounted on the cabinet body 101 and electrically connected to the main control board via the indicator light circuit. The indicator lights 70 can be light-emitting diodes (LEDs), preferably multi-color LEDs (such as red, green, and blue variable light), and are installed in a prominent position on the cabinet body 101, such as near the first cabinet door 102 or the operation panel area, to facilitate clear identification of the light signals by the user. Preferably, each side of the first cabinet door 102 corresponds to one indicator light 70. The main control board generates corresponding light control commands based on the current state of the first cabinet door 102, driving the indicator lights 70 to display different colors via the indicator light circuit, for example:

[0087] Solid green light indicates that storage chamber 104 is in standby mode, the equipment is idle, and it can be rented.

[0088] Green flashing: This indicates that electronic switch 20 has been successfully unlocked and cabinet door 102 has been unlocked. Please open it and take the drone.

[0089] Solid red: indicates that the drone in storage compartment 104 has been leased.

[0090] In some embodiments, there are multiple first cabinet doors and multiple indicator lights. Each indicator light corresponds to one first cabinet door. The indicator lights indicate the status of the first cabinet door and can also serve as a reminder to the user.

[0091] In some embodiments, the drone smart storage cabinet 10 further includes an RFID module, which is located in the controller storage area or the drone body storage area and electrically connected to the main control board. RFID tags are pre-attached to the drone body 100 or the controller 110 as unique electronic identifiers, storing information such as device number, model, and usage records. When the drone body 100 or the controller 110 is placed inside, the RFID module reads and writes the electronic tags via radio frequency, transmitting the read / write information to the main control board for processing. The main control board compares the read tag information with the database: if a match is found, it is determined to be a legitimate return, the return time is recorded, and the device status is updated; if no match is found, it is determined to be an illegal device or a wrong return, triggering an alarm and reporting to the server.

[0092] In some embodiments, the main control board may be a U5 NUC972, and the circuit structure is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Alternatively, the main control board can be U2 SH79F701, with the circuit structure as shown. Figure 5As shown. It should be noted that the main control board can use both of the above control board configurations simultaneously. The circuit structure of the unlocking circuit is as follows. Figure 6 As shown, its LOCK pin can be connected to Figure 5 The main control board shows the LOCK pin. The circuit structure of the lock state detection circuit is as follows. Figure 7 As shown, its pin YX can be connected to Figure 5 The main control board pins Y and X are shown. The communication circuit can use a 485 circuit, and the circuit structure is as follows. Figure 8 As shown, its pins RXD1, TXD1, and P32 can be connected to Figure 5 The main control board pins shown are RXD1, TXD1, and P32. The display screen can be connected to the main control board via a display driver circuit. Figure 4 The main control board shown has pins 123-137 (ND0-ND7). The circuit structure of the indicator light circuit is as follows. Figure 11 As shown. The RFID module can be connected to Figure 4 The pin con2 of the main control board is shown.

[0093] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the drone smart storage cabinet 10 also includes a caster assembly 80, which is located on the bottom of the cabinet body 101. The caster assembly 80 includes multiple casters, such as four, six, or eight, forming a stable support structure. The casters can rotate 360°, enabling the storage cabinet 10 to perform forward, backward, lateral, and in-situ turning movements. Thus, the drone smart storage cabinet 10 can be deployed in various scenarios, such as urban parks, agricultural work areas, and emergency rescue sites.

[0094] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the drone smart storage cabinet 10 also includes a foot support 90, which is located on the bottom of the cabinet 101 and on one side of the caster wheel assembly 80. The foot support 90 provides additional support by contacting the ground after the storage cabinet 10 is deployed, preventing accidental movement of the cabinet 101 due to external forces or ground tilt. The foot support 90 can be installed in several ways:

[0095] Fixed rotating support 90: One end is fixed to the bottom side of the cabinet 101 via a hinge shaft, and can be manually folded up or rotated down to unfold. When unfolded, the bottom of the support 90 rests against the ground, forming a stable fulcrum.

[0096] Screw-lifting foot support 90: Height adjustment is achieved by rotating the screw, suitable for uneven ground, ensuring the stability of the cabinet 101.

[0097] In some embodiments, there are multiple storage cavities 104, each corresponding to a first cabinet door 102. The multiple storage cavities 104 can be arranged in rows and columns, for example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The display shows a total of eight storage cavities 104, arranged in two columns. The left column has three storage cavities 104, and the right column has five storage cavities 104. The assembly cavity is located above the storage cavities 104 in the left column, and its height dimension is approximately equivalent to the sum of the heights of the two storage cavities 104 in the right column.

[0098] In some embodiments, the first cabinet door 102 is provided with a transparent window, through which the situation inside the storage cavity can be observed, and the presence of the drone body 100 and controller 110 inside can be determined.

[0099] In some embodiments, the controller storage area and the drone body storage area may each be provided with a limiting structure to limit the controller 110 or the drone body 100. The limiting structure may be a plurality of limiting protrusions or limiting brackets to prevent accidental displacement after the controller 110 or the drone body 100 is placed in the correct position.
