Detailed Implementation

[0054] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0055] In related technologies, the difficulty of takeoff and landing of drones when mounted on vehicle-mounted drone hangars affects the user experience of drones.

[0056] To address the aforementioned issues, some embodiments of this disclosure provide an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hangar 1000.

[0057] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) library 1000 of this disclosure.

[0058] As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, a drone hangar 1000 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a support base 200 and a first telescopic mechanism 410.

[0059] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the support base 200 is suitable for placing the drone 2000. That is to say, the drone 2000 can be placed on the support base 200 to support the drone 2000 and improve the positional stability of the drone 2000.

[0060] As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the first telescopic mechanism 410 includes two first telescopic plates 411. The two first telescopic plates 411 are movably disposed on both sides of the support base 200 along a first direction to increase or decrease the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000. This means that by arranging the two first telescopic plates 411 movably disposed on both sides of the support base 200 along the first direction, the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000 can be increased or decreased.

[0061] The first direction mentioned here can be understood as the front-back direction shown in Figure 4.

[0062] It should be noted that by placing the two first telescopic plates 411 on both sides of the support base 200, while ensuring that the two first telescopic plates 411 can be placed close to the UAV 2000, the support base 200 can also support the two first telescopic plates 411 to improve the positional stability of the first telescopic plates 411, thereby ensuring the working performance of the first telescopic mechanism 410.

[0063] Furthermore, by configuring the two first telescopic plates 411 to increase or decrease the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000, the two first telescopic plates 411 can be used to increase the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000 during the takeoff and landing of the drone 2000, thereby reducing the difficulty of takeoff and landing of the drone 2000. Additionally, when the drone 2000 lands in the drone hangar 1000, the two first telescopic plates 411 can be used to decrease the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000, which helps to support the drone 2000 and improve its positional stability.

[0064] In some embodiments, two first telescopic plates 411 are movably disposed on both sides of the support base 200 along a first direction, and the two first telescopic plates 411 move in opposite directions, so as to increase or decrease the parking area of ​​the unmanned aerial vehicle hangar 1000 by using the cooperation of the two first telescopic plates 411.

[0065] It should be noted that the opposite movement direction of the two first telescopic plates 411 means that when one of the first telescopic plates 411 moves forward in the first direction, the other first telescopic plate 411 moves backward in the first direction, so as to increase or decrease the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000 by using the two first telescopic plates 411.

[0066] In some examples, when the two first telescopic plates 411 move away from each other, the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000 can be increased; when the two first telescopic plates 411 move closer to each other, the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000 can be decreased.

[0067] The two first telescopic plates 411 and the support base 200 together can be understood as forming a landing pad for the UAV 2000.

[0068] As can be seen from the above structure, the drone hangar 1000 of some embodiments of this disclosure can improve the positional stability of the drone 2000 by providing a support base 200 to support the drone 2000.

[0069] Furthermore, by setting up a first telescopic mechanism 410, and configuring the first telescopic mechanism 410 to include two first telescopic plates 411 that can move along a first direction, the parking area of ​​the UAV hangar 1000 can be increased or decreased by using the two first telescopic plates 411 in coordination, thereby reducing the difficulty of UAV 2000 taking off and landing, and facilitating support for UAV 2000, so as to further improve the positional stability of UAV 2000.

[0070] It is understood that, compared with related technologies, the drone hangar 1000 of some embodiments of this disclosure can not only store drones 2000, but also reduce the difficulty of take-off and landing of drones 2000, and ensure the positional stability of drones 2000 after landing, thereby improving the working performance of drone hangar 1000.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, each first telescopic plate 411 is provided with a clamping part 4112. The clamping part 4112 is configured to contact or separate from the UAV 2000 to limit or release the displacement of the UAV 2000 in a first direction. Specifically, when the clamping part 4112 contacts the UAV 2000, the first telescopic plate 411 limits the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the first direction, thereby preventing displacement of the UAV 2000 in that direction to a certain extent, i.e., preventing displacement of the UAV 2000 in the forward / backward direction of the UAV hangar 1000, thus improving the positional stability of the UAV 2000. When the clamping part 4112 separates from the UAV 2000, the first telescopic plate 411 releases the UAV 2000, thereby preventing interference between the first telescopic plate 411 and the UAV 2000 to a certain extent, thus facilitating the automatic takeoff and landing of the UAV 2000.

[0072] In summary, the first telescopic mechanism 410 in some embodiments of this disclosure can increase or decrease the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000, while also limiting the drone 2000, and can also prevent the first telescopic mechanism 410 from obstructing the automatic take-off and landing of the drone 2000, thereby facilitating the automatic take-off and landing of the drone 2000.

[0073] Furthermore, by using at least two movable first telescopic plates 411 to limit the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the first direction, the difficulty of fixing the UAV 2000 can be reduced.

[0074] In some embodiments, two first telescopic plates 411 are spaced apart in a first direction to form a first sub-limiting space between the two first telescopic plates 411. The drone 2000 is disposed in the first sub-limiting space. The two first telescopic plates 411 are respectively disposed on both sides of the drone 2000 in the first direction, so as to limit the displacement of the drone 2000 in the first direction by using the two first telescopic plates 411.

[0075] Of course, in some other embodiments, two first telescopic plates 411 can be fixed on the support base 200, and a first clamping member (such as clamping part 4112) that can move along the first direction can be provided on the first telescopic plate 411. The first clamping member is used to contact or separate from the UAV 2000, so that the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the first direction can also be limited.

[0076] In some examples, when the two first telescopic plates 411 cooperate to increase the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000, the clamping part 4112 separates from the drone 2000. At this time, the first telescopic plate 411 releases the drone 2000, which facilitates the automatic take-off and landing of the drone 2000 and reduces the difficulty of take-off and landing of the drone 2000. When the two first telescopic plates 411 cooperate to reduce the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000, the clamping part 4112 contacts the drone 2000. At this time, the first telescopic plate 411 limits the displacement of the drone 2000 in the first direction to improve the positional stability of the drone 2000, thereby making the drone 2000 stable in position within the drone hangar 1000.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the clamping part 4112 is a clamping flange. The clamping flange can reduce the molding difficulty of the clamping part 4112, and also ensure that when the clamping part 4112 contacts the UAV 2000, the clamping part 4112 can effectively limit the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the first direction, thereby improving the positional stability of the UAV 2000.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, each of the two first telescopic plates 411 has a clamping flange at one end facing away from the other, and the two clamping flanges define the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000. This facilitates increasing the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000, making it easier to store larger drones 2000, thereby expanding the applicability of the drone hangar 1000.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, a reinforcing rib 4113 is provided between the first telescopic plate 411 and the clamping flange. The reinforcing rib 4113 is configured to support the clamping flange. This improves the positional stability of the clamping flange, thereby ensuring that when the clamping part 4112 contacts the UAV 2000, the clamping part 4112 can effectively limit the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the first direction, thus improving the working performance of the clamping flange to a certain extent.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 4113 are provided between the first telescopic plate 411 and the clamping flange. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 4113 cooperate to support the clamping flange, so as to maximize the positional stability of the clamping flange.

[0081] In the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first telescopic plate 411 and the clamping flange are integrated as one piece. This not only eliminates the need for a connection between the first telescopic plate 411 and the clamping flange, but also improves the positional stability of the clamping flange, thereby ensuring and improving the working performance of the clamping flange to a certain extent.

[0083] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first telescopic plate 411 and the clamping flange can also be formed as separate parts. When the first telescopic plate 411 and the clamping flange are formed as separate parts, the first telescopic plate 411 and the clamping flange can be connected by welding, bonding or other connection methods to ensure the connection strength of the first telescopic plate 411 and the clamping flange, thereby facilitating the use of the first telescopic plate 411 to support the clamping flange and improving the positional stability of the clamping flange.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the drone hangar 1000 further includes a gimbal protector 600. The gimbal protector 600 is disposed on a first telescopic plate 411 and is adapted to move with the first telescopic plate 411 to be fitted onto or detached from the gimbal of the drone 2000. Specifically, the gimbal protector 600 is disposed on the first telescopic plate 411, and when the first telescopic plate 411 moves along a first direction, the gimbal protector 600 moves synchronously, thus enabling the gimbal protector 600 to be fitted onto or detached from the gimbal of the drone 2000.

[0085] When the gimbal protector 600 is detached from the gimbal of the drone 2000, it can prevent the drone 2000 from taking off to a certain extent, so as to facilitate the automatic take-off and landing of the drone 2000. When the gimbal protector 600 is fitted on the outer periphery of the gimbal of the drone 2000, it can protect the gimbal of the drone 2000 to a certain extent, preventing the gimbal of the drone 2000 from being damaged during the bumpy driving of the vehicle 3000, thereby preventing the drone 2000 from losing its shooting function, extending the service life of the drone 2000, and reducing the operating cost of the drone 2000.

[0086] In addition, through the above settings, when the drone hangar 1000 is applied to the vehicle 3000, the drone 2000 can also meet various working conditions such as vibration and impact in vehicle operation, thus meeting actual usage requirements.

[0087] In addition, by placing the gimbal protection component 600 on the first telescopic plate 411, the first telescopic plate 411 can be used to drive the gimbal protection component 600 to move. This eliminates the need for a separate power source to drive the gimbal protection component 600 to move, ensuring the safety of the UAV 2000 gimbal while simplifying the structure of the UAV hangar 1000.

[0088] In other words, some embodiments of this disclosure, by setting up a gimbal protection component 600 and placing the gimbal protection component 600 on the first telescopic plate 411, can realize the automatic protection of the gimbal of the drone 2000 by using the gimbal protection component 600, thereby avoiding damage to the gimbal of the drone 2000 to a certain extent during the bumpy driving of the vehicle 3000, extending the service life of the drone 2000, and reducing the operating cost of the drone 2000.

[0089] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the gimbal protector 600 is a protective sleeve facing the gimbal opening of the drone 2000. The protective sleeve is located on one of the two clamping flanges. In this way, when the clamping part 4112 contacts the drone 2000, the gimbal protector 600 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the gimbal through the opening, so as to protect the gimbal of the drone 2000 by using the gimbal protector 600 and reduce the difficulty of fitting the gimbal protector 600 with the gimbal.

[0090] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the gimbal protector 600 has an opening 610 on the side facing the drone 2000. The opening 610 forms an opening of the gimbal protector 600, so that the gimbal protector 600 can be fitted onto the outer periphery of the gimbal through the opening, reducing the difficulty of fitting the gimbal protector 600 with the gimbal.

[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4, FIG6 and FIG7, the first telescopic mechanism 410 further includes a first drive motor 412, which is configured to drive the first telescopic plate 411 to move along a first direction, thereby facilitating the control of the first telescopic plate 411 to contact or separate from the UAV 2000, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the UAV 2000 by using the first telescopic plate 411.

[0092] The first drive motor 412 mentioned here can be a linear motor or a rotary motor.

[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 6, and 7, the first drive motor 412 is a rotary motor, and the first telescopic mechanism 410 further includes a first transmission member 413. The first transmission member 413 includes a first rotating lead screw 4131 and at least one first movable nut 4132. The first rotating lead screw 4131 is connected to the output end of the first drive motor 412 and extends along a first direction. At least one first movable nut 4132 is rotatably connected to the first rotating lead screw 4131 and fixedly connected to the first telescopic plate 411. Thus, when the first drive motor 412 drives the first rotating lead screw 4131 to rotate, the first rotating lead screw 4131 can drive at least one first movable nut 4132 to move, thereby driving the first telescopic plate 411 to reciprocate along the extension direction of the first rotating lead screw 4131. This facilitates the use of the first telescopic plate 411 to limit the movement of the UAV 2000 and reduces the difficulty of moving the first telescopic plate 411.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 6, and 7, the first rotating lead screw 4131 extends along a first direction. In the first direction, the first rotating lead screw 4131 has two spaced-apart threads with opposite directions of rotation. At least one first movable nut 4132 includes two first movable nuts 4132, which are respectively rotatably engaged with the two threads. The two first movable nuts 4132 are connected one-to-one with two first telescopic plates 411. Thus, when the first drive motor 412 drives the first rotating lead screw 4131 to rotate, the first rotating lead screw 4131 can drive the two first movable nuts 4132 to move towards each other or away from each other, which means that the two first telescopic plates 411 can be driven to move towards each other or away from each other. When the two first telescopic plates 411 move towards each other, they move closer to each other. At this time, both first telescopic plates 411 can contact the UAV 2000 to limit the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the first direction. When the two first telescopic plates 411 move away from each other, they move further away from each other. At this time, both first telescopic plates 411 can separate from the UAV 2000 to avoid the first telescopic plates 411 obstructing the automatic take-off and landing of the UAV 2000, thereby realizing the automatic take-off and landing of the UAV 2000.

[0095] With the above configuration, it is also possible to use one first drive motor 412 to drive two first telescopic plates 411 to move simultaneously. While ensuring the synchronicity of the movement of the two first telescopic plates 411, it is also possible to avoid setting multiple first drive motors 412, thereby reducing the number of first drive motors 412, simplifying the structure of the UAV hangar 1000, and reducing the assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost of the UAV hangar 1000.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the first telescopic mechanism 410 further includes at least one first guide member 414, which is fixedly connected to the support base 200. At least one first telescopic plate 411 is slidably engaged with the first guide member 414 to limit the movement direction of the first telescopic plate 411, ensuring that the at least one first telescopic plate 411 can be displaced along a predetermined direction during movement, thereby avoiding the at least one first telescopic plate 411 from deviating during movement to a certain extent, thus ensuring the accuracy of the position of the at least one first telescopic plate 411 and ensuring the working performance of the first telescopic plate 411.

[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, each of the at least one first guide member 414 is a guide plate, and each of the two first telescopic plates 411 is provided with a guide fitting member 4111 that slides with the first guide member 414. The guide fitting member 4111 slides along the extension direction of the first guide member 414, thereby facilitating the guidance of the first telescopic plate 411 to move in a predetermined direction, so as to ensure the accuracy of the position of the first telescopic plate 411 and thus ensure the working performance of the first telescopic plate 411.

[0098] In some examples, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the guide fitting 4111 has a slider on the side facing the first guide 414, and the first guide 414 has a groove on the side facing the guide fitting 4111. The slider slides in the groove. This ensures that the slider can slide along the groove under the action of external force, while also ensuring the movement path of the slider, thereby ensuring the movement path of the first telescopic plate 411 and improving the positional accuracy of the first telescopic plate 411.

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 and FIG7, at least one first guide member 414 includes at least two first guide members 414, the first telescopic plate 411 extends along the second direction, the at least two first guide members 414 are spaced apart in the second direction, and the at least two first guide members 414 cooperate to guide the first telescopic plate 411 to move along a predetermined direction, so as to maximize the positional accuracy of the first telescopic plate 411.

[0100] In some examples, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, at least two first guide members 414 are spaced apart on both sides of the first rotating screw 4131 in the second direction. In this way, while ensuring the accuracy of the position of the first telescopic plate 411, it can also ensure that the first moving nut 4132 connected to the first rotating screw 4131 can connect to the middle of the first telescopic plate 411 in the second direction, thereby ensuring that the first moving nut 4132 can effectively drive the first telescopic plate 411 to reciprocate.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5 and 8, the drone hangar 1000 further includes a second telescopic mechanism 420, which includes two second telescopic plates 421. The two second telescopic plates 421 are movably disposed on both sides of the support base 200 along a second direction. The two second telescopic plates 421 are configured to contact or separate from the drone 2000 to limit or release the displacement of the drone 2000 in the second direction. The first direction and the second direction intersect. The second direction mentioned here can be understood as the left and right direction shown in Figure 4. That is, the first telescopic mechanism 410 is used to limit the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the first direction, and the second telescopic mechanism 420 is used to limit the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the second direction. In this way, when the first telescopic mechanism 410 and the second telescopic mechanism 420 work together, the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the first and second directions can be limited to maximize the positional stability of the UAV 2000, thereby avoiding damage to the UAV 2000 during the bumpy driving of the vehicle 3000 and extending the service life of the UAV 2000.

[0102] When the two second telescopic plates 421 come into contact with the UAV 2000, the two second telescopic plates 421 cooperate to limit the UAV 2000, so as to prevent the UAV 2000 from shifting in the second direction to a certain extent, that is, to prevent the UAV 2000 from shifting in the left and right directions of the UAV hangar 1000, thereby improving the positional stability of the UAV 2000; when the two second telescopic plates 421 separate from the UAV 2000, the second telescopic plates 421 can avoid obstructing the automatic take-off and landing of the UAV 2000, thereby realizing the automatic take-off and landing of the UAV 2000.

[0103] In addition, by using two movable second telescopic plates 421 to limit the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the second direction, the difficulty of fixing the UAV 2000 can be reduced.

[0104] In addition, it should be noted that by placing the two second telescopic plates 421 on both sides of the support base 200, while ensuring that the two second telescopic plates 421 can be placed close to the UAV 2000, the support base 200 can also support the two second telescopic plates 421 to improve the positional stability of the second telescopic plates 421, thereby ensuring the working performance of the second telescopic mechanism 420.

[0105] In some embodiments, two second telescopic plates 421 are spaced apart in the second direction to form a second sub-limiting space between the two second telescopic plates 421. The portion of the second sub-limiting space that overlaps with the first sub-limiting space forms the limiting space of the drone 2000. The drone 2000 is placed in the limiting space. The two second telescopic plates 421 are respectively placed on both sides of the drone 2000 in the second direction to limit the displacement of the drone 2000 in the second direction using the two second telescopic plates 421.

[0106] Of course, in some other embodiments, two second telescopic plates 421 can be fixed on the support base 200, and a second clamping member that can move along the second direction can be provided on the second telescopic plate 421. The second clamping member is configured to contact or separate from the UAV 2000, so that the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the second direction can also be limited.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5, 8 and 9, the second telescopic mechanism 420 includes a second drive motor 422, which is configured to drive the second telescopic plate 421 to move along a second direction, thereby facilitating the control of the second telescopic plate 421 to contact or separate from the UAV 2000, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the UAV 2000 by using the second telescopic plate 421.

[0108] The second drive motor 422 mentioned here can be a linear motor or a rotary motor.

[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5, 8, and 9, the second drive motor 422 is a rotary motor, and the second telescopic mechanism 420 further includes a second transmission member 423. The second transmission member 423 includes a second rotating lead screw 4231 and a second moving nut 4232. The second rotating lead screw 4231 is connected to the output end of the second drive motor 422 and extends along a second direction. The second moving nut 4232 is rotatably connected to the second rotating lead screw 4231 and fixedly connected to the second telescopic plate 421. Thus, when the second drive motor 422 drives the second rotating lead screw 4231 to rotate, the second rotating lead screw 4231 can be used to drive the second moving nut 4232 to move, thereby driving the second telescopic plate 421 to move back and forth along the extension direction of the second rotating lead screw 4231. This facilitates the use of the second telescopic plate 421 to limit the UAV 2000 and reduces the difficulty of moving the second telescopic plate 421.

[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5, 8, and 9, the second rotating lead screw 4231 extends along a second direction. In this second direction, the second rotating lead screw 4231 has two spaced-apart threads with opposite directions of rotation. The second moving nut 4232 includes two parts, which are respectively rotatably engaged with the two threads. The two moving nuts 4232 are connected one-to-one with the two second telescopic plates 421. Thus, when the second drive motor 422 drives the second rotating lead screw 4231 to rotate, the second rotating lead screw 4231 can drive the two moving nuts 4232 to move towards each other or away from each other, thereby enabling the two second telescopic plates 421 to move towards each other or away from each other. When the two second telescopic plates 421 move towards each other, they move closer to each other. At this time, both second telescopic plates 421 can contact the UAV 2000 to limit the displacement of the UAV 2000 in the second direction. When the two second telescopic plates 421 move away from each other, they move further away from each other. At this time, both second telescopic plates 421 can separate from the UAV 2000 to avoid the second telescopic plates 421 from obstructing the automatic take-off and landing of the UAV 2000, thereby realizing the automatic take-off and landing of the UAV 2000.

[0111] With the above configuration, it is also possible to use one second drive motor 422 to drive two second telescopic plates 421 to move simultaneously. While ensuring the synchronicity of the movement of the two second telescopic plates 421, it is also possible to avoid setting multiple second drive motors 422, thereby reducing the number of second drive motors 422, simplifying the structure of the UAV hangar 1000, and reducing the assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost of the UAV hangar 1000.

[0112] It should be noted that the two second movable nuts 4232 and the two second telescopic plates 421 mentioned above are connected one-to-one and can be connected by bolts. While ensuring the connection strength between the second movable nuts 4232 and the second telescopic plates 421, the connection difficulty can also be reduced, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the second telescopic plates 421.

[0113] Of course, in other embodiments, the second movable nut 4232 and the second telescopic plate 421 can also be connected by welding, bonding or other connection methods.

[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 8, the second telescopic mechanism 420 further includes a second guide member 424. The second guide member 424 extends along a second direction, and the second telescopic plate 421 is slidably engaged with the second guide member 424 to limit the movement direction of the second telescopic plate 421. This ensures that the second telescopic plate 421 can be displaced along a predetermined direction during movement, thereby preventing the second telescopic plate 421 from deviating during movement to a certain extent, thus ensuring the accuracy of the position of the second telescopic plate 421 and guaranteeing the working performance of the second telescopic plate 421.

[0115] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5 and 8, the second guide member 424 is a guide plate, and the second telescopic plate 421 is slidably connected to the second guide member 424 to achieve sliding cooperation between the second telescopic plate 421 and the second guide member 424, thereby facilitating the accurate positioning of the second telescopic plate 421.

[0116] In addition, by sliding the second telescopic plate 421 onto the second guide member 424, the second guide member 424 can also be used to support the second telescopic plate 421, thereby improving the positional stability of the second telescopic plate 421 and ensuring its working performance.

[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5, 8 and 9, the support base 200 includes a support plate 210, and the second drive motor 422, the second guide member 424 and the second rotating lead screw 4231 are all fixedly connected to the support plate 210 to realize the support plate 210 to support the second telescopic mechanism 420, improve the positional stability of the second telescopic mechanism 420, and thus ensure the working performance of the second telescopic mechanism 420.

[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the first telescopic plate 411 and the second telescopic plate 421 are arranged at intervals in a third direction, which intersects with the first direction and the second direction, respectively. The third direction can be understood as the vertical direction shown in Figure 5. That is, the first telescopic plate 411 and the second telescopic plate 421 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction of the drone hangar 1000. This arrangement can, to a certain extent, prevent the first telescopic plate 411 and the second telescopic plate 421 from interfering with each other during movement, thereby ensuring the mobility of the first telescopic plate 411 and the second telescopic plate 421. In other words, it ensures that the first telescopic plate 411 and the second telescopic plate 421 can effectively move along a predetermined direction under the drive of the driving component, thus guaranteeing the working performance of the first telescopic plate 411 and the second telescopic plate 421.

[0119] With the above configuration, in some examples, when the drone 2000 lands, both first telescopic plates 411 and both second telescopic plates 421 move away from each other to increase the parking area of ​​the drone hangar 1000. This increases the size of the helipad and reduces the difficulty of landing the drone 2000. Furthermore, after the drone 2000 lands, both first telescopic plates 411 and both second telescopic plates 421 move closer to each other to contact the drone 2000, thus clamping it. This not only prevents damage to the drone 2000 from the vehicle 3000 traveling on bumpy roads but also helps to reduce the front-to-back dimensions of the drone hangar 1000.

[0120] In the description of this disclosure, features marked with "first", "second", or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the same feature, used to distinguish and describe features, without any order or distinction of importance.

[0121] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 8, the drone hangar 1000 further includes two charging devices 700, which are respectively disposed on two second telescopic plates 421. The charging devices 700 are adapted to move with the second telescopic plates 421 to electrically connect to or disconnect from the charging port of the drone 2000. Specifically, the charging devices 700 are disposed on the second telescopic plates 421, and when the second telescopic plates 421 move in a second direction, the charging devices 700 move synchronously, thus enabling the charging devices 700 to be electrically connected to or disconnected from the charging port of the drone 2000.

[0122] When the charging device 700 is disconnected from the charging port of the drone 2000, it can prevent the charging device 700 from obstructing the take-off of the drone 2000 to a certain extent, so as to facilitate the automatic take-off and landing of the drone 2000. When the charging device 700 is electrically connected to the charging port of the drone 2000, the charging device 700 can be used to charge the drone 2000, thereby reducing the difficulty of charging the drone 2000.

[0123] In other words, some embodiments of this disclosure can prevent the charging device 700 from hindering the takeoff of the drone 2000, while also using the charging device 700 to charge the drone 2000, thereby reducing the difficulty of charging the drone 2000.

[0124] In summary, the drone hangar 1000 of some embodiments of this disclosure can automatically charge the drone 2000 after it lands in place. Compared with the manual battery swapping or charging of the drone 2000 in related technologies, this provides users with a more comfortable user experience and reduces the difficulty of charging the drone 2000.

[0125] In some embodiments, the charging device 700 is a charging power source, the charging device 700 is provided with a charging connector, and the drone 2000 is provided with a charging port that is plugged into the charging connector. The charging connector is plugged into the charging port to realize the electrical connection between the charging device 700 and the charging port of the drone 2000, thereby realizing the charging of the drone 2000 by using the charging device 700.

[0126] In addition, the charging connector and charging port can be used to charge the drone 2000 via wired connection. Compared with wireless charging, this can effectively improve charging efficiency and, to some extent, prevent the drone 2000 from overheating during charging, thus improving the safety of the drone 2000.

[0127] In other words, the drone hangar 1000 in some embodiments of this disclosure can not only accommodate and place drones 2000, but also charge drones 2000.

[0128] In some examples, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the first telescopic plate 411 is equipped with a gimbal protection component 600, and the second telescopic plate 421 is equipped with a charging device 700. Thus, when the first telescopic plate 411 and the second telescopic plate 421 work together to position the drone 2000, they not only protect the gimbal of the drone 2000 and automatically charge the drone 2000, but also, to a certain extent, prevent interference between the gimbal protection component 600 and the charging device 700, thereby ensuring the working performance of the gimbal protection component 600 and the charging performance of the charging device 700.

[0129] In summary, the first telescopic plate 411 and the second telescopic plate 421 in some embodiments of this disclosure can not only fix the drone 2000, but also charge the drone 2000 and protect the gimbal of the drone 2000.

[0130] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the drone hangar 1000 further includes a base 100 and two switch doors 300, which are movably mounted on the base 100 to avoid or block the support base 200. In other words, the two opening and closing doors 300 can either avoid or obstruct the support base 200. Since the drone 2000 is placed on the support base 200, when the two opening and closing doors 300 avoid the support base 200, they can be positioned away from the drone 2000, preventing them from obstructing the drone 2000's ascent and descent, and thus preventing them from hindering the drone 2000's takeoff and landing. They can also prevent the drone 2000 from landing on the support base 200, facilitating the drone 2000's automatic takeoff and landing. When the two opening and closing doors 300 obstruct the support base 200, they can be positioned closer to the drone 2000, making it easier to use them to shield the drone 2000. In this case, the two opening and closing doors 300 can be used to protect the drone 2000, extending its service life. In addition, they can prevent users from directly observing the drone 2000, improving the aesthetics of the drone hangar 1000.

[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the two switching doors 300 include a first switching door 310 and a second switching door 320. The first switching door 310 and the second switching door 320 move relative to each other to avoid or block the support base 200. That is, some embodiments of this disclosure utilize the cooperation of the first switching door 310 and the second switching door 320 to avoid or block the support base 200. Compared with setting a single switching door 300, this is beneficial to shorten the moving length of the first switching door 310 and the second switching door 320 during movement, thereby reducing the control difficulty of the first switching door 310 and the second switching door 320.

[0132] In some examples, when the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 move closer to each other, the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 cooperate to block the support base 200, thereby blocking the drone 2000. While protecting the drone 2000, this also improves the aesthetics of the drone hangar 1000. When the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 move away from each other, the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 cooperate to avoid the support base 2000, thereby avoiding the drone 2000. This facilitates the control of the drone 2000's takeoff and landing, and further facilitates the automatic takeoff and landing of the drone 2000, reducing the difficulty of controlling the drone 2000.

[0133] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 14, and 15, the drone hangar 1000 further includes a linkage mechanism 900, which is connected to the switch door 300 and the base 100 to drive the switch door 300 to move. Specifically, the linkage mechanism 900 is connected to the first switch door 310 and the base 100, and also to the second switch door 320 and the base 100. The linkage mechanism 900 is configured to drive the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 to move, thereby ensuring that the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 can effectively move relative to each other to avoid or block the support base 200. This reduces the control difficulty of the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 and enables automatic opening and closing of the switch door 300. This solves the technical problem in related technologies where the switch door 300 requires manual opening and closing and manual launching of the drone 2000, greatly improving the user experience.

[0134] In addition, by using the linkage mechanism 900 to drive the opening and closing door 300 to move, compared with the related technology of controlling the opening and closing door 300 by rotating the arm, the space occupied by the opening and closing door 300 in the third direction when avoiding the support base 200 can be effectively reduced. This reduces the height of the opening and closing door 300 of the UAV hangar 1000 when it is open. Furthermore, the linkage mechanism 900 can also support the opening and closing door 300, which to a certain extent prevents the opening and closing door 300 from swaying relative to the support base 200 when avoiding the support base 200. This prevents the opening and closing door 300 from affecting the take-off of the UAV 2000 and ensures the performance of the UAV 2000.

[0135] In addition, by connecting the linkage mechanism 900 to the base 100, the base 100 can also be used to support the linkage mechanism 900, thereby improving the positional stability of the linkage mechanism 900 and ensuring the working performance of the linkage mechanism 900.

[0136] In some embodiments, the drone hangar 1000 further includes two sets of linkage mechanisms 900, which correspond to the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 respectively, so as to drive the first switch door 310 and the second switch door 320 to move.

[0137] It should be noted that the linkage mechanism 900 shown in Figures 14, 15 and 16 are all positional diagrams when the door 300 blocks the support base 200.

[0138] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16, the linkage mechanism 900 includes a linkage assembly 910 and a first drive member 920. The linkage assembly 910 includes a first connecting rod 911 and a second connecting rod 912. The opposite ends of the first connecting rod 911 and the opposite ends of the second connecting rod 912 are respectively pivotally connected to the base 100 and the switch door 300. The first drive member 920 connects the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 and drives the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 to rotate around the base 100. This means that the first driving member 920 can be connected to the first connecting rod 911, or the second connecting rod 912, or both the first connecting rod 911 and the second connecting rod 912. In this way, when the first driving member 920 is running, it can drive the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 to rotate around the base 100. Since both the first connecting rod 911 and the second connecting rod 912 are pivotally connected to the switch door 300, when the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 rotate around the base 100, the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 can rotate relative to the switch door 300, thereby driving the switch door 300 to move relative to the base 100. This achieves the purpose of using the linkage mechanism 900 to drive the switch door 300 to move, and reduces the difficulty of moving the switch door 300.

[0139] The first driving component 920 mentioned here can be a linear motor or a rotary motor, and there is no limitation here.

[0140] In some embodiments, the two ends of the first connecting rod 911 are rotatably connected to the base 100 and the switch door 300 respectively through the first rotating shaft, thereby realizing the pivot connection between the two ends of the first connecting rod 911 and the base 100 and the switch door 300, reducing the connection difficulty between the first connecting rod 911 and the base 100 and the switch door 300, and ensuring the working performance of the first connecting rod 911.

[0141] Correspondingly, the two ends of the second connecting rod 912 are rotatably connected to the base 100 and the switch door 300 respectively through the second rotating shaft, thereby realizing the pivot connection between the two ends of the second connecting rod 912 and the base 100 and the switch door 300, reducing the connection difficulty between the second connecting rod 912 and the base 100 and the switch door 300, and ensuring the working performance of the second connecting rod 912.

[0142] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15 and 16, the linkage assembly 910 further includes a third connecting rod 913, which is fixedly connected to the door 300. The first connecting rod 911 and the second connecting rod 912 are pivotally connected to the third connecting rod 913, respectively. In this way, while realizing the rotational connection between the first connecting rod 911 and the second connecting rod 912 and the door 300, the connection difficulty can also be reduced.

[0143] The third connecting rod 913 mentioned here can be fixedly connected to the opening and closing door 300 by welding, bonding, snap-fitting or bolting.

[0144] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16, a support frame 110 is provided on the base 100. One end of the first connecting rod 911 is pivotally connected to the support frame 110, and the other end is pivotally connected to the switch door 300. One end of the second connecting rod 912 is pivotally connected to the support frame 110, and the other end is pivotally connected to the switch door 300. This enables the opposite ends of the first connecting rod 911 and the opposite ends of the second connecting rod 912 to the base 100 and the switch door 300 respectively, reducing the difficulty of connecting the first connecting rod 911, the second connecting rod 912, and the base 100.

[0145] The support frame 110 can be fixed to the base 100 by welding, bonding, snap-fitting or integral molding, so that the position of the support frame 110 relative to the base 100 is stable, thereby ensuring the support performance of the support frame 110.

[0146] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16, the linkage mechanism 900 further includes a transmission assembly 930. The transmission assembly 930 is connected to the first driving member 920 and the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912, respectively. The first driving member 920 drives the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 to rotate through the transmission assembly 930. This allows the first driving member 920 to drive the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 to rotate around the base 100, while also reducing the difficulty of connecting the first driving member 920 to the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912, thereby reducing the difficulty of opening and closing the door 300.

[0147] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15 and 16, the transmission assembly 930 includes a driving gear 931 and a driven gear 932 that mesh with each other. The driving gear 931 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 920, and the driven gear 932 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 through at least one connecting arm 933, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the first driving member 920 and the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912.

[0148] With the above configuration, in some examples, the first driving member 920 is used to drive the active gear 931 to rotate. Since the active gear 931 and the driven gear 932 are meshed, the active gear 931, which receives power, can drive the driven gear 932 to rotate. When the driven gear 932 rotates, it drives at least one connecting arm 933 to move, thereby driving the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 to rotate around the base 100. During the rotation of the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912 around the base 100, the door 300 is moved to realize the opening and closing action of the door 300.

[0149] In the above example, the first driving element 920 is a rotary motor, and the output end of the rotary motor is connected to the drive gear 931 so that the drive gear 931 can be driven to rotate by the first driving element 920.

[0150] Furthermore, the above description illustrates the transmission assembly 930 as a driving gear 931 and a driven gear 932 meshing with each other. In other embodiments, the transmission assembly 930 may also be configured as a driving pulley and a driven pulley.

[0151] In some embodiments, the linkage mechanism 900 further includes a support arm 950, one end of which is connected to the support frame 110 and the other end is connected to the driven gear 932, so as to support the driven gear 932 by the support arm 950. While improving the positional stability of the driven gear 932, it also allows the driven gear 932 to be spaced apart from the base 100, thereby ensuring that the driving gear 931 that receives power can effectively drive the driven gear 932 to rotate, so as to ensure the working performance of the transmission component 930.

[0152] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15 and 16, the number of teeth of the driven gear 932 is greater than the number of teeth of the driving gear 931. This can reduce speed during the transmission of the transmission assembly 930 to ensure transmission performance and thus achieve stable movement of the door 300.

[0153] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15 and 16, at least one connecting arm 933 includes a first connecting arm 9331 and a second connecting arm 9332, the first connecting arm 9331 and the second connecting arm 9332 are rotatably connected, the first connecting arm 9331 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 932, and the second connecting arm 9332 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 911 and / or the second connecting rod 912. In this way, during the rotation of the driven gear 932, the first connecting arm 9331 can be effectively driven to rotate. Since the first connecting arm 9331 and the second connecting arm 9332 are rotatably connected, the rotational force of the first connecting arm 9331 can be converted into the moving force of the second connecting arm 9332, thereby driving the second connecting arm 9332 to move. At this time, the second connecting arm 9332 drives the first connecting rod 911 / or the second connecting rod 912 to rotate around the base 100. During the rotation of the first connecting rod 911 / or the second connecting rod 912, the third connecting rod 913 is driven to move, thereby driving the door 300 to move, so as to realize the opening and closing action of the door 300.

[0154] In some examples, as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16, the second connecting arm 9332 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 911. That is, the first connecting rod 911 has three hinge points, which are respectively hinged to the support frame 110, one end of the second connecting arm 9332, and the third connecting rod 913. The second connecting rod 912 has two hinge points, which are respectively hinged to the support frame 110 and the third connecting rod 913. The second connecting rod 912 can rotate around the hinge point with the support frame 110 and the hinge point with the third connecting rod 913. The power from the second connecting arm 9332 is transmitted to the first connecting rod 911, causing it to swing around the hinge point with the support frame 110, and transmitting the swinging force to the opening and closing door 300. The opening and closing motion of the opening and closing door 300 is realized through the above power transmission and motion.

[0155] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16, the linkage mechanism 900 includes at least two sets of linkage assemblies 910. A first switch door 310 and a second switch door 320 are disposed opposite each other in a second direction. The at least two sets of linkage assemblies 910 are spaced apart along a first direction. A first drive member 920 simultaneously connects to at least two sets of linkage assemblies 910. The first direction intersects the second direction. This means that the linkage mechanism 900 connecting the same switch door 300 (first switch door 310 or second switch door 320) includes at least two sets of linkage assemblies 910. These at least two sets of linkage assemblies 910 are simultaneously connected to the same switch door 300. This improves the response speed of the switch door 300 during movement and also allows the at least two sets of linkage assemblies 910 to support the same switch door 300, thereby improving the positional stability of the switch door 300. This, to a certain extent, prevents the switch door 300 from swaying relative to the support base 200 when avoiding it, thus preventing the switch door 300 from affecting the takeoff of the drone 2000 and ensuring the performance of the drone 2000.

[0156] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 14, the linkage mechanism 900 includes two sets of linkage assemblies 910, a first switch door 310 and a second switch door 320 are arranged opposite to each other in a second direction, the two sets of linkage assemblies 910 are spaced apart along a first direction and mounted on the base 100, and the two sets of linkage assemblies 910 cooperate to control the movement of the same switch door 300.

[0157] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 14, an internal space is formed between the two sets of linkage assemblies 910 and the base 100. The support base 200, the first telescopic mechanism 410, the second telescopic mechanism 420, the gimbal protection component 600 and the charging device 700 are all placed in the middle of this internal space, so that the drone hangar 1000 has a compact structure, which helps to reduce the size of the drone hangar 1000 and reduce the installation difficulty of the drone hangar 1000.

[0158] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16, the linkage mechanism 900 includes a linkage shaft 940. A first drive member 920 is connected to the linkage shaft 940. The opposite ends of the linkage shaft 940 are respectively connected to the drive gears 931 of two sets of linkage assemblies 910. This allows the first drive member 920 to connect to at least two sets of linkage assemblies 910 simultaneously. While ensuring that the two sets of linkage assemblies 910 can be linked to guarantee the opening and closing performance of the door 300, the setup of multiple first drive members 920 can be eliminated, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost of the unmanned hangar 1000.

[0159] With the above settings, in some examples, as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16, when it is necessary to drive the switch door 300 to move, the first drive member 920 is first activated. The first drive member 920 transmits power to the drive gear 931 in the two sets of linkage assemblies 910 of the same switch door 300 through the linkage shaft 940. The drive gear 931 and the driven gear 932 mesh. At this time, the drive gear 931, which receives power, can drive the driven gear 932 to rotate. When the driven gear 932 rotates, it drives the first connecting arm 9331 to rotate around the hinge point of the driven gear 932, thereby driving the second connecting arm 9332 to move. At this time, the second connecting arm 9332 drives the first connecting rod 911 to rotate around the base 100. During the rotation, the first connecting rod 911 drives the third connecting rod 913 to move and drives the second connecting rod 912 to rotate around the base 100, thereby driving the switch door 300 to move, so as to realize the opening and closing action of the switch door 300.

[0160] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the drone hangar 1000 further includes a lifting mechanism 500. The support base 200 is connected to the base 100 via the lifting mechanism 500. The lifting mechanism 500 is configured to raise and lower the support base 200. This can also be understood as the lifting mechanism 500 being connected to the base 100 and the support base 200 being connected to the lifting mechanism 500. The lifting mechanism 500 can raise or lower the support base 200 relative to the base 100. Since the drone 2000 is placed on the support base 200, the lifting mechanism 500 can be used to raise or lower the drone 2000. When the lifting mechanism 500 raises the drone 2000, it facilitates automatic takeoff. When the lifting mechanism 500 lowers the drone 2000, it can conceal the drone 2000 to protect it and facilitate automatic takeoff and landing.

[0161] The above can also be understood as follows: the support base 200 is installed on the base 100, and the lifting mechanism 500 is responsible for the raising and lowering of the support base 200 to reduce the difficulty of raising and lowering the drone 2000.

[0162] In some examples, the door 300 of some embodiments of this disclosure, under the control of the linkage mechanism 900, can automatically open when the drone 2000 needs to take off or land, and can automatically close after the lifting mechanism 500 returns the first telescopic mechanism 410, the second telescopic mechanism 420 and the drone 2000.

[0163] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the base 100 simultaneously supports the linkage mechanism 900 and the lifting mechanism 500. That is, the linkage mechanism 900 and the lifting mechanism 500 are connected to the same base 100. This ensures the positional stability of the linkage mechanism 900 and the lifting mechanism 500, while also simplifying the structure of the drone hangar 1000 and reducing the assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost of the drone hangar 1000.

[0164] With the above setup, in some examples, when the drone 2000 takes off, the door 300 moves relative to the base 100 to avoid the support 200. At this time, the lifting mechanism 500 lifts the support 200 as a whole, thereby lifting the first telescopic mechanism 410, the second telescopic mechanism 420, and the drone 2000 as a whole, providing space for the first telescopic mechanism 410 and the second telescopic mechanism 420 to release the drone 2000, achieving automatic takeoff of the drone 2000; when the drone... When the drone 2000 lands, it first lands on the support base 200. At this time, the first telescopic mechanism 410 and the second telescopic mechanism 420 position the drone 2000. After positioning, the lifting mechanism 500 lowers the support base 200 as a whole, reducing the size of the drone hangar 1000 in the height direction. This compresses the overall product space of the drone hangar 1000, so that when the drone hangar 1000 is applied to the vehicle 3000, it can avoid the trouble caused by the drone 2000 when driving in height-restricted places such as underground parking lots.

[0165] In summary, the drone hangar 1000 of some embodiments of this disclosure sets the support base 200 to be connected to the base 100 through the lifting mechanism 500. While improving the positional stability of the drone 2000, it can also raise and lower the drone 2000, thereby facilitating the automatic take-off and landing of the drone 2000.

[0166] In addition, by setting a movable door 300, the door 300 can be used to shield the drone 2000 while also preventing the door 300 from obstructing the drone 2000's automatic take-off and landing.

[0167] In addition, a first telescopic mechanism 410 and a second telescopic mechanism 420 for positioning or releasing the UAV 2000 are provided on the support base 200. While realizing the automatic take-off and landing of the UAV 2000, the positional stability of the UAV 2000 after landing can also be improved, thereby extending the service life of the UAV 2000.

[0168] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 10, the lifting mechanism 500 includes a second drive member 520 and at least one set of fork arm assemblies 510. Each set of fork arm assemblies 510 includes a first fork arm 511 and a second fork arm 512 that are crossed and pivotally engaged. At least one set of fork arm assemblies 510 is pivotally connected to the base 100 and the support 200, respectively. The second drive member 520 is configured to drive the first fork arm 511 and / or the second fork arm 512 to slide to change the height of the fork arm assemblies 510. This means that the first fork arm 511 and the second fork arm 512, which are pivotally connected, are pivotally connected to the base 100 and the support seat 200, respectively. In this way, when the second driving member 520 drives the first fork arm 511 and / or the second fork arm 512 to slide, the first fork arm 511 and the second fork arm 512 can rotate simultaneously relative to the base 100 and the support seat 200, so as to change the height of the fork arm assembly 510. During the process of changing the height of the fork arm assembly 510, the support seat 200 can be moved by the fork arm assembly 510 to change the height of the support seat 200, that is, to change the height of the UAV 2000, so as to facilitate the automatic take-off of the UAV 2000 and also facilitate the landing of the UAV 2000.

[0169] The second drive unit 520 mentioned here can be a linear motor or a rotary motor.

[0170] In some embodiments, the middle part of the first fork arm 511 in the length direction and the middle part of the second fork arm 512 in the length direction are rotatably connected by a pivot to achieve the cross-connection and pivotal engagement of the first fork arm 511 and the second fork arm 512, thereby facilitating the working performance of the fork arm assembly 510.

[0171] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10, 11, and 12, a second driving member 520 is disposed on the base 100 and connected to the first end (one end) of the first fork arm 511. The second driving member 520 is configured to drive the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide along the base 100. Since the fork arm assembly 510 is pivotally connected to the base 100 and the support seat 200 respectively, during the process of the second driving member 520 driving the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide along the base 100, the opposite ends of the first fork arm 511 can be rotated relative to the base 100 and the support seat 200, and the opposite ends of the second fork arm 512 can be rotated relative to the base 100 and the support seat 200. This changes the height of the fork arm assembly 510, thereby changing the height of the support seat 200, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the drone 2000.

[0172] In some embodiments, the first end of the first fork arm 511 is rotatably connected to and slidably engaged with the base 100, and the second end of the first fork arm 511 is rotatably connected to the support 200; the first end of the second fork arm 512 is rotatably connected to the base 100, and the second end of the second fork arm 512 is rotatably connected to and slidably engaged with the support 200; the second drive member 520 is configured to drive the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide, thereby changing the height of the fork arm assembly 510.

[0173] In some other embodiments, the second drive member 520 may be disposed on the support base 200. The second drive member 520 is connected to the second end of the second fork arm 512. The second drive member 520 is configured to drive the second end of the second fork arm 512 to slide along the support base 200, which can also change the height of the fork arm assembly 510.

[0174] By placing the second drive member 520 on the base 100, the base 100 can support the second drive member 520, thereby improving the positional stability of the second drive member 520 and ensuring its working performance.

[0175] In some embodiments, the housing of the second drive member 520 can be fixedly connected to the base 100. While realizing the second drive member 520 is placed on the base 100, the connection strength between the second drive member 520 and the base 100 can also be improved, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the second drive member 520.

[0176] It should be noted that the fixed connection between the housing of the second drive component 520 and the base 100 can be welding, bonding, snap-fitting or bolting.

[0177] In some embodiments, the housing of the second drive component 520 and the base 100 are connected by a detachable connection method such as snap-fit ​​or bolt connection, so as to reduce the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the second drive component 520, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty of the second drive component 520.

[0178] The second drive unit 520 mentioned here can be a linear motor or a rotary motor, without any specific restrictions.

[0179] With the above settings, when the height of the support 200 needs to be adjusted, the second drive unit 520 is activated. The second drive unit 520 is used to drive the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide along the base 100, and at the same time, the first end of the first fork arm 511 rotates around the base 100. During the rotation of the first end of the first fork arm 511, the first fork arm 511 rotates relative to the support 200 and the second fork arm 512, and at the same time, the second fork arm 512 rotates. The first fork arm 511 and the second fork arm 512 together drive the support 200 to move, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the height of the support 200.

[0180] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 11, and 12, at least one set of fork arm assemblies 510 includes two sets of fork arm assemblies 510. The first end of the first fork arm 511 slides along a second direction, and the two sets of fork arm assemblies 510 are arranged at intervals along a first direction. A second driving member 520 simultaneously connects to the first ends of the first fork arms 511 of both sets of fork arm assemblies 510. The first direction intersects with the second direction. By setting two sets of fork arm assemblies 510, the two sets of fork arm assemblies 510 cooperate to control the height of the support base 200. This improves the response speed of the support base 200 when it moves, and also enables the two sets of fork arm assemblies 510 to support the support base 200 simultaneously, thereby improving the positional stability of the support base 200 and ensuring the working performance of the support base 200.

[0181] In addition, by setting the arrangement direction of the two sets of fork arm groups 510 to intersect with the sliding direction of the first fork arm 511, the two sets of fork arm groups 510 can be prevented from affecting each other during movement, so as to ensure the working performance of the fork arm groups 510.

[0182] Furthermore, by configuring the second drive member 520 to simultaneously connect the first end of the first fork arm 511 of the two sets of fork arm assemblies 510, it is possible to drive the two sets of fork arm assemblies 510 simultaneously using one second drive member 520. While ensuring the working performance of the two sets of fork arm assemblies 510, it is also possible to save the number of second drive members 520 used, thereby simplifying the structure of the drone hangar 1000 and reducing the assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost of the drone hangar 1000.

[0183] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the lifting mechanism 500 further includes a connector 540 and a first limiting member 550. The two ends of the connector 540 are respectively connected to the first ends of the first forks 511 of the two fork arm assemblies 510. The output end of the second drive member 520 is connected to the connector 540, and the second drive member 520 is used to drive the connector 540 to slide along the base 100. Because the first ends of the first forks 511 are connected to the connector 540, when the second drive member 520 drives the connector 540 to slide along the base 100, the first ends of the first forks 511 can be driven to slide along the base 100 by the connector 540. This facilitates the simultaneous driving of the two fork arm assemblies 510 by the second drive member 520. While ensuring the working performance of the two fork arm assemblies 510, it also saves on the number of second drive members 520 used, thereby simplifying the structure of the drone hangar 1000 and reducing the assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost of the drone hangar 1000.

[0184] In some embodiments, the first end of the first fork arm 511 is rotatably connected to the connector 540. This ensures that when the connector 540 drives the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide along the base 100, the first end of the first fork arm 511 can rotate relative to the connector 540, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the fork arm assembly 510 to ensure the working performance of the fork arm assembly 510.

[0185] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11, 12, and 13, the second drive member 520 is a rotary motor, and the lifting mechanism 500 further includes a third transmission member 570. The third transmission member 570 includes a third rotating lead screw 571 and a third moving nut 572. The third rotating lead screw 571 is connected to the output end of the second drive member 520 and extends along the sliding direction of the first fork arm 511. The third moving nut 572 is rotatably connected to the third rotating lead screw 571 and fixedly connected to the connecting member 540. Thus, when the second drive member 520 drives the third rotating lead screw 571 to rotate, the third rotating lead screw 571 can drive the third moving nut 572 to move, thereby driving the connecting member 540 to reciprocate along the extension direction of the third rotating lead screw 571. This allows the connecting member 540 to drive the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide along the base 100, thereby facilitating the change of the height of the fork arm assembly 510 and thus changing the height of the support base 200.

[0186] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11, 12, and 13, the connector 540 is a connecting plate with mounting holes. The third movable nut 572 is rotatably connected to the third rotating screw 571 and fixedly connected within the mounting holes, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the third movable nut 572 and the connector 540. Thus, when the third rotating screw 571 drives the third movable nut 572 to move, the connector 540 can be driven to reciprocate along the extension direction of the third rotating screw 571, achieving the purpose of using the second driving member 520 to drive the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide along the base 100, reducing the control difficulty of the fork arm assembly 510.

[0187] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, a nut limiting member 580 is provided in the mounting hole, and the third movable nut 572 is fixedly connected in the mounting hole through the nut limiting member 580 to ensure the connection strength between the third movable nut 572 and the connector 540, thereby facilitating the movement of the connector 540 by using the third movable nut 572.

[0188] It should be noted that some embodiments of this disclosure are illustrated by taking the first transmission member 413 including a first rotating lead screw 4131 and a first moving nut 4132, the second transmission member 423 including a second rotating lead screw 4231 and a second moving nut 4232, and the third transmission member 570 including a third rotating lead screw 571 and a third moving nut 572 as examples. In other embodiments, the first transmission member 413, the second transmission member 423, and the third transmission member 570 may also be formed as a slider and guide rail, or as a gear and rack, which is not limited here.

[0189] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the lifting mechanism 500 further includes at least one third guide member 590, which is fixedly connected to the base 100 and slidably engaged with the connector 540. This allows the at least one third guide member 590 to define the direction of movement of the connector 540, ensuring that the connector 540 can be displaced along a predetermined direction during movement. This, in turn, prevents the connector 540 from shifting during movement to a certain extent, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the fork arm assembly 510, which in turn adjusts the height of the support base 200.

[0190] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, at least one third guide member 590 includes a plurality of third guide members 590, which extend along a second direction and are spaced apart in a first direction. In this way, the plurality of third guide members 590 can be used to guide the movement of the connector 540 simultaneously, thereby improving the positional accuracy of the connector 540 when it moves.

[0191] In some embodiments, the third guide member 590 is formed as a slider, and the connector 540 is formed with a groove that slides with the slider. In this way, when the slider is placed in the groove, the movement of the connector 540 can be guided by the third guide member 590.

[0192] Of course, in some other embodiments, the third guide member 590 may also be formed as a guide block, the guide block is provided with a groove, and the connector 540 is formed with a slider that slides in the groove. In this way, when the slider is placed in the groove, the movement of the connector 540 can also be guided by the third guide member 590.

[0193] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11, 12 and 13, the second drive member 520 includes a reducer 521, which is connected to the base 100 via a fixed bracket 560 to ensure the working performance of the second drive member 520.

[0194] With the above settings, in some examples, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the support 200, the second drive member 520 rotates to drive the third moving nut 572 to move. The third moving nut 572 drives the connector 540 to move on the third guide member 590. At the same time, the connector 540 drives the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide along the base 100, and the first end of the first fork arm 511 rotates around the connector 540. Meanwhile, the first fork arm 511 and the second fork arm 512 rotate relative to each other. The first fork arm 511 and the second fork arm 512 jointly support the up and down movement of the support 200 to achieve the adjustment of the height of the support 200.

[0195] When the drone 2000 needs to take off, the second drive component 520 can be controlled to rotate forward. At this time, the height of the support base 200 increases to lift the drone 2000. When the drone 2000 needs to be retracted, the second drive component 520 can be controlled to rotate in reverse. At this time, the height of the support base 200 decreases to lower the drone 2000. This also helps to reduce the height of the lifting mechanism 500 and reduce the space occupied by the lifting mechanism 500 in the vertical direction.

[0196] It should be noted that the above description of the lifting mechanism 500 including the fork arm assembly 510, in some other embodiments, the lifting mechanism 500 may also be configured to include a lead screw and a nut, the lead screw extending in a third direction, and the nut connected to the lead screw and connected to the support seat 200. In this way, the height of the support seat 200 can also be changed by using the lifting mechanism 500, and there is no limitation here.

[0197] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the lifting mechanism 500 further includes at least one elastic element 530, which is connected to at least one set of fork arm assemblies 510 to provide a force that causes the at least one set of fork arm assemblies 510 to have a lifting tendency. It should be noted that, since the support base 200 itself has a certain weight, and the support base 200 is also equipped with the first telescopic mechanism 410, the second telescopic mechanism 420, and the drone 2000, the second drive member 520 of the lifting mechanism 500 requires a large torque to overcome static friction and the weight of the support base 200 in the initial stage of lifting the support base 200. However, after the lifting mechanism 500 begins to lift, the torque required by the second drive member 520 is smaller. At this time, directly selecting a second drive member 520 with a larger torque would result in a higher cost for the second drive member 520 and would also result in a larger space occupation by the second drive member 520, increasing the size of the drone hangar 1000.

[0198] Based on this, some embodiments of this disclosure include an elastic element 530. Since the elastic element 530 is connected to at least one set of fork arm assemblies 510 to provide a force that causes the fork arm assemblies 510 to have a tendency to rise, the second drive element 520 with a torque of a general magnitude can drive the support seat 200 to rise. This reduces the difficulty of controlling the support seat 200 and also reduces the cost of using the second drive element 520.

[0199] In other words, by setting the elastic element 530, the torque requirement of the second drive element 520 can be reduced, while the space occupied by the second drive element 520 can also be reduced, and the usage cost of the second drive element 520 can be saved.

[0200] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the elastic element 530 is connected to the base 100 and the first end of the first fork arm 511, respectively, so as to drive the first end of the first fork arm 511 to slide along the base 100 by means of the elastic element 530, thereby realizing the force provided by the elastic element 530 to make the fork arm assembly 510 have an upward tendency, so as to reduce the control difficulty of the support 200 and reduce the use cost of the second drive element 520.

[0201] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the elastic element 530 is formed as a tension spring, with one end of the tension spring mounted on the base 100 and the other end mounted on the connector 540, thereby connecting the elastic element 530 to the base 100 and the first end of the first fork arm 511 respectively. While ensuring the working performance of the elastic element 530, the cost of using the elastic element 530 can also be reduced.

[0202] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, when the lifting mechanism 500 lowers the support 200, the tension spring remains in a stretched state. In this way, when the second drive member 520 drives the fork arm assembly 510 to raise the fork arm assembly 510, the force that gives the fork arm assembly 510 a tendency to rise can be utilized, thereby reducing the difficulty of controlling the support 200.

[0203] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, at least one includes two elastic elements 530, which correspond one-to-one with two sets of fork arm assemblies 510, so that both sets of fork arm assemblies 510 can obtain the lifting force provided by the elastic elements 530 during the lifting process, thereby reducing the control difficulty of the support seat 200.

[0204] Optionally, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, at least one first limiting member 550 is disposed between the connecting member 540 and the base 100. When the lifting mechanism 500 is in the lifting state, at least one first limiting member 550 is used to abut against both the connecting member 540 and the base 100 to position the connecting member 540. In this way, when the lifting mechanism 500 is in the lifting state, the positional stability of the connecting member 540 can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the fork arm assembly 510, that is, ensuring the positional stability of the support seat 200. To a certain extent, this prevents the support seat 200 from shaking after being raised, thus ensuring the working performance of the support seat 200.

[0205] In some embodiments, the first limiting member 550 is a limiting rubber block, which is respectively engaged with the connecting member 540 and the base 100 to stop and abut, thereby achieving the purpose of positioning the connecting member 540.

[0206] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the first limiting member 550 is fixedly connected to the base 100 so that the base 100 can support the first limiting member 550, thereby ensuring the working performance of the first limiting member 550.

[0207] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, at least one first limiting member 550 includes a plurality of first limiting members 550, which are spaced apart on the base 100. The plurality of first limiting members 550 cooperate to maximize the positional stability of the support 200.

[0208] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the drone hangar 1000 further includes at least one second limiting member 800. When the lifting mechanism 500 is in the retracted state, the at least one second limiting member 800 is used to abut against the support base 200 and the base 100 respectively to position the support base 200. In this way, when the lifting mechanism 500 is in the retracted state, the positional stability of the support base 200 can be ensured, and the swaying of the support base 200 after the height is reduced can be avoided to a certain extent, so as to ensure the working performance of the support base 200.

[0209] In some embodiments, the second limiting member 800 is a limiting rubber block, which abuts against the support 200 and the base 100 respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of positioning the support 200.

[0210] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the second limiting member 800 is fixedly connected to the base 100 so that the base 100 can support the second limiting member 800, thereby ensuring the working performance of the second limiting member 800.

[0211] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, at least one second limiting member 800 includes a plurality of second limiting members 800, which are spaced apart on the base 100. The plurality of second limiting members 800 cooperate to maximize the positional stability of the support 200.

[0212] In summary, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a drone hangar 1000 that can automatically open and close the door 300 to release the drone 2000 and clamp the drone 2000 for charging. The drone hangar 1000 can directly complete the take-off and landing of the drone 2000. At the same time, through the cooperation of multiple motion mechanisms (lifting mechanism 500, first telescopic mechanism 410, second telescopic mechanism 420, and linkage mechanism 900, etc.), the drone 2000 is ensured to be safe, while the cost and size of the drone hangar 1000 are reduced, the installation difficulty of the drone hangar 1000 is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0213] In some examples, when the drone 2000 needs to be used, the linkage mechanism 900 can first be used to control the movement of the first and second opening / closing doors 310 and 320, moving them to a position where they can avoid the support base 200 (as shown in Figure 2). Then, the lifting mechanism 500 is used to control the support base 200 to rise and to control the movement of the first and second telescopic mechanisms 410 and 420 to release the drone 2000 (as shown in Figure 3). At this point, the drone 2000 can be controlled to take off. Correspondingly, when the drone 2000... After use, first control the drone 2000 to land on the first telescopic mechanism 410 and the second telescopic mechanism 420. At this time, the first telescopic mechanism 410 and the second telescopic mechanism 420 can be controlled to move to position the drone 2000. Then, the lifting mechanism 500 is used to control the support base 200 to lower. Finally, the linkage mechanism 900 is used to control the first opening and closing door 310 and the second opening and closing door 320 to move and move the first opening and closing door 310 and the second opening and closing door 320 to the state of blocking the support base 200 (as shown in Figure 2) to complete the landing action of the drone 2000.

[0214] The following description of a vehicle 3000 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is based on the accompanying drawings.

[0215] As shown in Figure 1, a vehicle 3000 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a roof panel 3100 and a drone hangar 1000.

[0216] The drone hangar 1000 is the same as the aforementioned drone hangar 1000. The structure of the drone hangar 1000 will not be described in detail here. The drone hangar 1000 is located on the roof panel 3100.

[0217] As can be seen from the above structure, the vehicle 3000 in some embodiments of this disclosure can have its functions enriched and the user experience improved by adopting the aforementioned drone hangar 1000.

[0218] Furthermore, by placing the drone hangar 1000 on the roof panel 3100, the drone 2000 can be placed on the roof panel 3100 of the vehicle 3000. Compared with the related technology of placing the drone 2000 in the trunk of the vehicle 3000, this not only avoids the drone 2000 occupying trunk space, but also ensures that the drone 2000 can take off directly during the control process, eliminating the process of manually taking out the drone 2000 and releasing it, thus improving the user experience.

[0219] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the roof panel 3100 has a mounting cavity 3110 with a top opening, and the drone hangar 1000 is disposed in the mounting cavity 3110 through the opening. In this way, while realizing the placement of the drone hangar 1000 on the roof panel 3100, it can also avoid the drone hangar 1000 occupying too much space above the roof panel 3100 to a certain extent, and thus avoid the drone 2000 occupying too much external space of the vehicle body to a certain extent. While improving the aesthetics of the vehicle 3000, it can also reduce the dimensions of the vehicle 3000 in the height direction, thereby avoiding the trouble caused by the drone 2000 when driving in height-restricted places such as underground parking lots.

[0220] In summary, the drone hangar 1000 of some embodiments of this disclosure can be mounted on the vehicle 3000 without the need for a separate device for installation and fixation, thus achieving deep integration between the drone hangar 1000 and the vehicle 3000. In addition, the drone hangar 1000 can not only accommodate and place drones 2000, but also directly complete the automatic take-off and landing recovery of drones 2000, and realize the charging of drones 2000.

[0221] Other components of the unmanned aerial vehicle hangar 1000 and the vehicle 3000 having therein, such as the structure and driving principle of the first drive member 920 and the second drive member 520, according to some embodiments of this disclosure, are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
