An unmanned aerial vehicle launch and recovery device

Abstract

The invention provides an unmanned aerial vehicle launching and recovery device and belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle control. The unmanned aerial vehicle launching and recovery device comprises a supporting frame, a large arm and a launching/recovery station, wherein the large arm is arranged at the upper portion o the supporting frame and can rotate around the supporting frame, the launching/recovery station is arranged at the outer end of the large arm, and an angle formed by the launching/recovery station and the large arm can be automatically adjusted. An upper jaw and a lower jaw which can be opened and closed up are arranged on the launching/recovery station, a flexible buffering strip is arranged between the upper jaw and the lower jaw, an unmanned aerial vehicle attitude adjustment mechanism is further arranged on the lower jaw and used for alignment of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle launching and recovery device can form a linear route through fitting in a launching or recovery state, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle is accurately and stably launched or recovered. Due to the fact that the unmanned aerial vehicle launching and recovery device is provided with the unmanned aerial vehicle attitude adjustment mechanism, manual intervention in the unmanned aerial vehicle launching and recovery process can be decreased.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular relates to an efficient launching and recovery device for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background technique: [0002] At present, the launch methods of fixed-wing UAVs mainly include: orbital ejection, artificial ejection, and runway launch, etc. Among them, orbital ejection needs to set up an ejection track, which occupies a large space and has a complicated structure; artificial ejection is mainly for small UAVs, and It cannot be operated without human beings; runway launches are mostly large UAVs, which need to have wheels, and the laying of the runway requires a large site. [0003] The recovery methods of small fixed-wing drones mainly include: parachute recovery, rope hook recovery, net impact recovery and runway recovery. Parachute recovery, rope hook recovery and net impact recovery require more complex supporting devices, while runway recovery requires L...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the launch methods of fixed-wing UAVs mainly include: orbital ejection, artificial ejection, and runway launch, etc. Among them, orbital ejection needs to set up an ejection track, which occupies a large space and has a complicated structure; artificial ejection is mainly for small UAVs, and It cannot be operated without human beings; runway launches are mostly large drones, which need to have wheels, and laying runways requires a larger site

[0003] The recovery methods of small fixed-wing drones mainly include: parachute recovery, rope hook recovery, net impact recovery and runway recovery. Parachute recovery, rope hook recovery and net impact recovery require more complex supporting devices, while runway recovery requires larger venue

The above devices or methods for recovery and launch are all separated, and most of them are manual intervention, low degree of automation, large supporting equipment, poor adaptability to the environment and not easy to transport
