Unmanned aerial vehicle with a multifunctional cargo compartment

Abstract

The unmanned aerial vehicle consists of a fuselage (1) housing a battery pack (2) and a navigation and control system (3). Arms (4) are connected to the fuselage, with motors (5) attached to their free ends, driving propellers (6) with blades (7). A cargo compartment (8) is connected to the fuselage (1); it is configured as a separate unit comprising a wall (9) with a truncated conical shape, at both ends of which an upper mounting ring (10) and a lower mounting ring (11) are mounted. Five (13) are mounted to the lower reinforcing ring (11), providing support during landing and parking, and a connecting flange (12) is formed on the upper reinforcing ring (10) for connecting the cargo compartment (8) through the fuselage (1) to a closing element (14). A winch (15) is mounted on the closing element (14), driven by an electric motor (18) connected to a control unit (19). The winch (15) is equipped with a rope (16), to the free end of which is attached an axial force sensor (21) and a hook (17) for securing a load (22). A toroidal-shaped pneumatic locking cylinder (20) is located in the upper part of the cargo compartment (8), designed to stabilize and secure the load (22).
