Description

The utility model relates to vehicles, in particular to devices for transporting and launching unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Currently, UAVs are widely used in various fields of science and technology. The advantage of using a UAV is the low cost of maintenance and convenient flight control compared to full-size aircraft. Particularly widespread are UAVs with vertical take-off and landing having one, three, four, six, eight or more rotors (Fig. 1).

Known patent US14963965 device for launching and capturing UAVs during landing. The invention uses a winged UAV with the impossibility of vertical take-off and landing. The design drawback is the lack of a protective casing, which makes it possible to damage the UAV from natural conditions such as: hurricane, rain, snow, etc.

Also known patent US20160018224A1. The invention uses UAVs with vertical take-off and landing, as well as a platform designed to launch and land UAVs. The disadvantage is the lack of UAV protection from the environment, and the lack of a platform rotation mechanism for calibrating the compass built into the UAV.

Known ground control station based on the chassis of a special vehicle (patent RU No. 2486078C1, IPC B60P9 / 00, B60P3 / 00, published 06/27/2013), which is taken as a prototype.

The prototype has a drawback: the lack of automatic UAV preparation for flight and the lack of a UAV rotation mechanism for calibrating the compass.

The technical result is the ability to rotate the UAV.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in a land vehicle equipped with a module for storing and automatically launching a UAV based on the chassis of a special vehicle, containing a box body of a van with a rigid frame, an engine, a transmission, a running gear, control and power supply systems, it contains a storage module and UAV launch, module protective flaps, device for opening and closing the module protective flaps, UAV fixation platform, platform lifting and turning mechanism, plate lifting and turning mechanism tformy further comprises a rotary actuator.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 2-5 depict sketchy views of one of the possible embodiments of the proposed ground vehicle. Figure 2 shows the mode of storage and transportation with a closed storage compartment of the UAV.

A land vehicle equipped with a module for storing and automatically launching a UAV is located on a specialized chassis (1) that has an engine (2), a transmission (3), a chassis (4), a communication system (5), a control system (6) and power supply (7), and contains a specialized UAV storage and launch module (8). The module is closed from the environment in the form of closing flaps (9) using an automatic open-close drive (10). Figure 3 shows a sketch with an open compartment of the UAV storage module. Inside the compartment there is a platform (11) for fixing the UAV (12) with vertical take-off and landing. Figure 4 shows a sketch of the take-off and landing UAV mode. The platform (11) is equipped with a mechanism for lifting and turning the platform (13). Figure 5 shows a sketch of the calibration mode of the compass built into the UAV. The rotation of the platform is necessary for calibrating the compass built into the UAV, for this it is necessary to rotate the UAV in the horizontal and vertical plane. Rotation of the platform with the UAV can be done both when turning the ground vehicle, and when the platform itself rotates.
