no. 1 approach

[0045] The lifting device 5 according to the first embodiment will be described. The take-off and landing device 5 is a device arranged at a position where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) 3 delivering cargo (item) B takes off and lands. First, the unmanned aerial vehicle 3 will be described.

[0046] The unmanned aerial vehicle 3 is an aircraft capable of unmanned flight by remote operation or automatic control (flight program) based on a control signal transmitted from the transmitter 4 . The transmitter 4 is, for example, an antenna for transmitting control programs or flight programs for manipulating the unmanned aerial vehicle 3 . In the case that the UAV 3 has a flight program stored in advance, the antenna can send a signal to start the flight program. Such as figure 1 As shown, the UAV 3 mainly includes a frame 31 , a motor 32 , a propeller 33 , a communication unit (receiving unit) 34 , a battery 35 and a flight control unit 37 .

no. 2 approach

[0061] Next, the lifting device 5A according to the second embodiment will be described. Such as image 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the lifting device 5A has a communication unit (transmitting unit) 57 instead of the fixing device 55 from the structure of the lifting device 5 of the first embodiment. The communication unit 57 transmits to the UAV 3 an activation signal for activating the flight program or the program stored in advance in the UAV 3 (hereinafter both are referred to as “control signals”). In addition, the description of the part which has the same structure as 1st Embodiment is abbreviate|omitted.

[0062] The take-off control unit 60B can switch between the first state in which the communication unit 57 is prohibited from sending the above-mentioned signal and the second state in which the communication unit 57 is allowed to send the control signal based on whether the UAV 3 carrying the cargo B is overloaded. Specifically, takeoff control unit 60B proh...

no. 3 approach

[0067] Next, the lifting device 5B according to the third embodiment will be described. Such as Figure 5 As shown, the lifter 5B includes the communication unit 57 described in the second embodiment in addition to the structure of the lifter 5 of the first embodiment. The communication unit 57 sends control signals to the UAV 3 . In addition, the description of the part which has the same structure as 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment is abbreviate|omitted.

[0068] When the take-off control unit 60B determines that it is in an overloaded state, it controls the fixing device 55 so as to maintain the fixation of the unmanned aerial vehicle 3 (or fix the unmanned aerial vehicle 3 to the landing unit 52), and prohibits the communication unit 57 from sending control information. signal, when it is determined that it is not an overloaded state, control the fixing device 55 so that the unmanned aerial vehicle 3 is unfixed (or maintain the unfixed unfixed state of the unmanned aer...

Abstract

A takeoff and landing device (5) is provided with: a fixed device (55) or a communication unit (57) that can switch between a first state in which an unmanned aircraft (3) is prevented from taking offfrom a host device, and a second state in which the unmanned aircraft (3) is not prevented from taking off; a weight acquisition unit (337A, 60A) that acquires the weight of an article delivered by the unmanned aircraft (3); and a takeoff control unit (337B) or a takeoff control unit (60B) that switches the state of the fixed device (55) or the communication unit (57) to the first state or the second state on the basis of a reference value for determining whether the weight of the article acquired by the weight acquisition unit (337A, 60A) constitutes an overload.

Description

technical field [0001] One aspect of the present invention relates to a lifting device, a lifting system and an unmanned distribution system. Background technique [0002] There are known unmanned aerial vehicles (so-called unmanned aerial vehicles) which are steered by remote operation or which are programmed to fly autonomously. In recent years, it has been proposed that such unmanned aerial vehicles are applied in various fields. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose systems for delivering items using unmanned aerial vehicles. [0003] prior art literature [0004] patent documents [0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-151989 [0006] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-153337 [0007] If the weight of delivered items (laden weight) becomes large relative to the weight of the UAV, the UAV is susceptible to external disturbances such as wind. If the unmanned aerial vehicle is subject to such external interference, i...
