Abstract

An unmanned aerial vehicle's (UAV) take-off and landing platform. It includes a driving device, a bottom plate, a movable plate and a tractor. The tractor is connected to the front end of a bearing platform, and the tractor can drive the bearing platform to move; the bearing platform comprises the bottom plate and the movable plate. The movable plate has a first side plate, a second side plate and a third side plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom plate, and the third side plate is arranged at the tail end of the bottom plate. The movable plate movably connects with the bottom plate and can move relative to the bottom plate with the drive of the driving device, so that the bearing platform can switch between the folded state and the unfolded state.

Claims (23)

1. A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) take-off and landing platform, which is characterized in that the UAV take-off and landing platform comprises:

a driving device ( 1 );

a bearing platform, which is used for bearing the UAV;

a tractor ( 3 ), which is connected to the front end of the bearing platform and can drive the bearing platform to move;

the bearing platform comprising a bottom plate ( 2 ) and a movable plate ( 4 );

the movable plate ( 4 ) comprising a first side plate ( 41 ), a second side plate ( 42 ) and a third side plate ( 43 );

wherein the first side plate ( 41 ) and the second side plate ( 42 ) are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom plate ( 2 ), and the third side plate ( 43 ) is arranged at the tail end of the bottom plate ( 2 );

the movable plate ( 4 ) movably connects with the bottom plate ( 2 ), and can move relative to the bottom plate ( 2 ) under the drive of the driving device ( 1 ), so that the bearing platform can switch between the folded state and the unfolded state.

2. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 1 , which is characterized in that the movable plate ( 4 ) and the bottom plate ( 2 ) are rotatably connected;

when the movable plate ( 4 ) is folded, the movable plate ( 4 ) and the bottom plate ( 2 ) form a bearing carriage vertically; when the movable plate ( 4 ) is unfolded, the movable plate ( 4 ) is folded outward to be in the same plane with the bottom plate ( 2 ).

3. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 2 , which is characterized in that the driving device ( 1 ) comprises a hydraulic rod, and the first side plate ( 41 ), the second side plate ( 42 ) and the third side plate ( 43 ) are driven by a group of hydraulic rods to make the first side plate ( 41 ), the second side plate ( 42 ) and the third side plate ( 43 ) fold relative to the bottom plate ( 2 ).

4. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 3 , which is characterized in that it also comprises a first top plate ( 5 ), and the first top plate ( 5 ) rotatably connects with the first side plate ( 41 ).

5. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 4 , which is characterized in that it also comprises a second top plate ( 6 ), and the second top plate ( 6 ) is rotatably connected with the second side plate ( 42 ).

6. The UAV takeoff and landing platform according to claim 1 , which is characterized in that the first side plate ( 41 ), the second side plate ( 42 ) and the third side plate ( 43 ) can be raised and lowered relative to the bottom plate ( 2 ) driven by the driving device ( 1 ); when the movable plate ( 4 ) is raised, the movable plate ( 4 ) and the bottom plate ( 2 ) form a bearing carriage vertically; when the movable plate ( 4 ) is lowered, the upper end face of the movable plate ( 4 ) and the upper end face of the bottom plate ( 2 ) are in the same plane.

7. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 1 , which is characterized in that a plurality of folding brackets ( 7 ) are arranged on the movable plate ( 4 ), and when the movable plate ( 4 ) is folded along the bottom plate ( 2 ), the bracket can be opened to support the movable plate ( 4 ).

8. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 1 , which is characterized in that the lower side of the bottom plate ( 2 ) is provided with a damping device ( 8 ).

9. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 8 , which is characterized in that the tractor ( 3 ) comprises a headstock ( 31 ), in which a UAV control room ( 311 ) and a cab ( 312 ) are arranged.

10. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 9 , which is characterized in that the UAV control room ( 311 ) is provided with a movable plate unfolding and folding control device.

11. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 2 , which is characterized in that a plurality of folding brackets ( 7 ) are arranged on the movable plate ( 4 ), and when the movable plate ( 4 ) is folded along the bottom plate ( 2 ), the bracket can be opened to support the movable plate ( 4 ).

12. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 3 , which is characterized in that a plurality of folding brackets ( 7 ) are arranged on the movable plate ( 4 ), and when the movable plate ( 4 ) is folded along the bottom plate ( 2 ), the bracket can be opened to support the movable plate ( 4 ).

13. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 4 , which is characterized in that a plurality of folding brackets ( 7 ) are arranged on the movable plate ( 4 ), and when the movable plate ( 4 ) is folded along the bottom plate ( 2 ), the bracket can be opened to support the movable plate ( 4 ).

14. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 5 , which is characterized in that a plurality of folding brackets ( 7 ) are arranged on the movable plate ( 4 ), and when the movable plate ( 4 ) is folded along the bottom plate ( 2 ), the bracket can be opened to support the movable plate ( 4 ).

15. The UAV take-off and landing platform according to claim 6 , which is characterized in that a plurality of folding brackets ( 7 ) are arranged on the movable plate ( 4 ), and when the movable plate ( 4 ) is folded along the bottom plate ( 2 ), the bracket can be opened to support the movable plate ( 4 ).
