Abstract

A platform, adapted to accommodate a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), includes a base and a cover. The base includes a first connection port and a power source, and the power source is coupled to the first connection port including a first connection electrode and a second connection electrode. The cover includes at least one fan and a second connection port corresponding to the first connection port of the base, the at least one fan is coupled to the second connection port, and the second connection port includes a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode. The cover is connected to the base and moves between an open position and a closed position relative to the base. The first connection port is connected to the second connection port when the cover is at the closed position, and the power source provides power to the at least one fan.

Claims (15)

1. A platform, adapted to accommodate a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), comprising:

a base, comprising a first connection port and a power source, the power source being coupled to the first connection port, and the first connection port comprising a first connection electrode and a second connection electrode; and

a cover, comprising at least one fan and a second connection port corresponding to the first connection port of the base, the at least one fan being coupled to the second connection port, and the second connection port comprising a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode,

wherein the cover is connected to the base and moves between an open position and a closed position relative to the base, and wherein the first connection port is connected to the second connection port when the cover is at the closed position, the first connection electrode is electrically connected to the first contact electrode, the second connection electrode is electrically connected to the second contact electrode, and the power source provides power to the at least one fan, and wherein the first connection port is not connected to the second connection port when the cover is at the open position.

2. The platform according to claim 1 , wherein the cover further comprises a first vent and a second vent.

3. The platform according to claim 2 , wherein the cover comprises a first sub-cover and a second sub-cover, and the first sub-cover and the second sub-cover are moving in opposite directions when the cover is moving between the open position and the closed position.

4. The platform according to claim 3 , wherein the first vent is disposed on the first sub-cover, and the second vent is disposed on the second sub-cover.

5. The platform according to claim 3 , wherein the first vent is disposed on the first sub-cover, the second vent is disposed on the second sub-cover, one of the at least one fan is disposed on the first vent, and another one of the at least one fan is disposed on the second vent.

6. The platform according to claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a controller and a temperature sensor, the controller is coupled to the first connection port and the temperature sensor, and when the cover is at the closed position and the temperature sensor detects a temperature greater than a preset value, the controller activates the at least one fan.

7. The platform according to claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a controller and the cover further comprises a temperature sensor, the controller is coupled to the first connection port, when the cover is at the closed position, the controller is coupled to the temperature sensor, and when the temperature sensor detects a temperature greater than a preset value, the controller activates the at least one fan.

8. The platform according to claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a controller, comprising a timing unit, the controller is coupled to the first connection port, and when the cover is at the closed position, the controller activates or deactivates the at least one fan according to preset time value of the timing unit.

9. The platform according to claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a driving device for driving the cover to move between the open position and the closed position.

10. The platform according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first connection electrode and the first contact electrode is a pogo pin, and one of the second connection electrode and the second contact electrode is a pogo pin.

11. The platform according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first connection electrode and the first contact electrode is a piece of spring, and one of the second connection electrode and the second contact electrode is a piece of spring.

12. The platform according to claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a charging port coupled to the power source, and the charging port is adapted to electrically connect the UAV and charge the UAV.
