Docking unmanned aerial vehicle and aerial cargo loading and unloading method

Abstract

The invention discloses a docking unmanned aerial vehicle and an aerial cargo loading and unloading method. The docking unmanned aerial vehicle includes an unmanned aerial vehicle center, a docking system, a battery, a motor, a vehicle arm, a propeller and a landing gear, and the docking system comprises a lift, a docking mechanism and a vision module. During aerial cargo loading and unloading, afixed-wing aircraft arrives above the destination, real-time coordinates are sent to the ground docking unmanned aerial vehicle through a navigation and positioning system, after receiving a signal, the ground docking unmanned aerial vehicle takes off and flies under fixed wings, a two-dimension code on the belly of the fixed-wing aircraft can be identified through a camera for precise position adjustment, then loading and unloading of containers are completed through the docking mechanism. According to the docking unmanned aerial vehicle and the aerial cargo loading and unloading method, thetwo-dimensional code is used for visual identification docking, the precision is high, and meanwhile, the fixed wing weight is not needed to be carried and pneumatic parts are not needed to be connected, and the overall performance is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a docking unmanned aerial vehicle and a method of loading and unloading goods in the air. [0002] technical background [0003] Modern cargo aircraft are all fixed-wing aircraft, which need to land on the ground for loading, and can be air-dropped or landed on the ground for unloading. Fixed-wing aircraft need a runway to land, and airdrops can only be done in the wilderness and require additional equipment. This has limited the development of air transport, especially in the application of modern logistics express field. The patent with the notification number CN106882370A discloses a combined aircraft and its take-off and landing method. It uses radar to complete the docking, which is difficult to realize in practice, and the electromagnet without shielding device will interfere with the multi-rotor control. The patent with the notification number CN109502018A discloses a combined unmanned aerial vehicle, whose multi-rotor ...

The patent with the notification number CN106882370A discloses a combined aircraft and its take-off and landing method. It uses radar to complete the docking, which is difficult to achieve in practice, and the electromagnet without shielding device will interfere with the multi-rotor control.

The patent with the notification number CN109502018A discloses a combined unmanned aerial vehicle, whose multi-rotor docking from above will destroy the aerodynamic performance of the fixed-wing wing below, causing the fixed-wing to fall

At the same time, these two patents are connected to the fixed wing, so that the weight of the fixed wing itself is loaded on the multi-rotor, so that the overall load capacity is not high, and the direct connection of aerodynamic components such as the fixed wing will affect the control of the multi-rotor itself
