An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) base station includes a housing and a UAV fixation system. The housing includes a top-plate configured for a UAV to land on the top-plate. The UAV fixation system is configured to direct the UAV present on the top-plate to a battery-exchange zone of the top-plate.

Unmanned aerial vehicle base station system and method

A battery replacement device including a first linear motion mechanism, a second linear motion mechanism mounted on the first linear motion mechanism, a third linear motion mechanism mounted on the second linear motion mechanism, and a clamp mechanism mounted on one of the first, second, and third linear motion mechanisms. Each of the first, second, and third linear motion mechanisms includes a carrying member and a driving member configured to drive the carrying member to move translationally in one of a first axis direction, a second axis direction, and a third axis direction that build a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. A coordinate position of the clamp mechanism in the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is adjusted by the first driving member, the second driving member, and the third driving member.

Unmanned aerial vehicle dock and battery replacement device thereof

A unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) base station for automated battery pack exchange and methods for manufacturing and using the same. The UAV base station includes a battery-exchange system disposed within a housing having a top-plate. The housing contains a battery array having a plurality of UAV battery packs and a mechanical mechanism for automatically removing an expended battery pack from a UAV that lands on the top-plate and replacing the expended battery pack with a charged battery pack. Thereby, the UAV base station system advantageously enables extended and autonomous operation of the UAV without the need for user intervention for exchanging UAV battery packs.

All unmanned aerial vehicle dock includes a base plate, a battery replacement device for replacing a battery of an unmanned aerial vehicle, and a battery compartment mounted on the base plate and configured to receive and charge the battery. The battery replacement device includes a first linear motion mechanism mounted on the base plate, a second linear motion mechanism mounted on the first linear motion mechanism, a third linear motion mechanism mounted on the second linear motion mechanism, and a clamp mechanism mounted on the third linear motion mechanism.
