[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The present invention provides an intelligent logistics distribution system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV flight unit drives an item for flight transportation. During the transportation process, the item can be placed in the logistics carrying unit for storage, or the logistics carrying unit can be unloaded, and the hoisting unit can be used to lift large items separately. When the item is transported using the logistics carrying unit, the item is stored in the storage cavity. When reaching the delivery location, the control unit is connected to the user's mobile phone for verification. After verification, the electric control cabinet door is opened, and the electric push rod is used to push the item in the storage cavity out to complete the delivery. The hoisting method is used to transport large items separately, and the logistics carrying unit is used to transport the items stored in the cabinet back and forth, facilitating the logistics distribution. Please refer to Figures 1-4 , including: a UAV flight unit 100, a hoisting unit 200, a logistics carrying unit 300, and a control unit 400.

[0032] A mounting bracket 110 is provided at the bottom of the UAV flight unit 100, and the hoisting unit 200 and the logistics carrying unit 300 are installed using the mounting bracket 110.

[0033] The hoisting unit 200 is arranged on the mounting bracket 110; the hoisting unit 200 includes a motor 210, a wire reel 220, a lifting rope 230 and a hook 240. The motor 210 is arranged outside the mounting bracket 110, and the wire reel 220 connected to the output end of the motor 210 is arranged inside the mounting bracket 110. The lifting rope 230 connected to the wire reel 220 passes through the bottom of the mounting bracket 110, and the hook 240 is arranged at the end of the lifting rope 230. When delivering large items, it is inconvenient to place the items inside the container. At this time, the items are hung on the hook 240, and the drone flight unit 100 drives the items to fly for delivery. After reaching the delivery position, the motor 210 drives the wire reel 220 to rotate, pays out the lifting rope 230, and lowers the items. The customer takes the items off the hook 240, and then the motor 210 drives the wire reel 220 to rotate to take in the lifting rope 230, completing the delivery of the items.

[0034] The logistics carrying unit 300 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting bracket 110. The logistics carrying unit 300 includes a cabinet 310, a storage cavity 320, an electric control cabinet door 330, an electric push rod 340 and a push plate 350. The cabinet 310 is screwed to the bottom of the mounting bracket 110. A storage cavity 320 is opened inside the cabinet 310. Electric control cabinet doors 330 are arranged at the openings of the storage cavity 320. Electric push rods 340 are arranged inside the storage cavity 320, and push plates 350 are arranged at the output ends of the electric push rods 340. Small items are placed in the storage cavity 320 for storage. The drone flight unit 100 drives the logistics carrying unit 300 to fly for delivery. After reaching the delivery position, the corresponding electric control cabinet door 330 is opened, and the corresponding electric push rod 340 inside extends out, and the items are pushed out through the push plate 350, completing the delivery of the items.

[0035] The control unit 400 is arranged outside the logistics carrying unit 300. The control unit 400 includes a processor 410, a data storage module 420, a control panel 430, a positioning module 440 and a Bluetooth module 450. The processor 410 is respectively connected to the data storage module 420, the control panel 430, the positioning module 440, the Bluetooth module 450, the electric control cabinet door 330 and the electric push rod 340. The control panel 430 inputs the coding information of the items inside each box. After reaching the delivery position, the user connects to the processor 410 through the Bluetooth module 450 to verify the item information. After the verification is completed, the processor 410 controls the corresponding electric control cabinet door 330 to open, and the electric push rod 340 inside the electric control cabinet door 330 extends out to push out the corresponding items, completing the delivery of the items. During this process, the data storage module 420 is used to record the delivered and undelivered items. During the flight, the positioning module 440 locates the position of the drone.

[0036] A buffer 360 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet body 310, and a floor bracket 370 is provided at the bottom of the buffer 360. When the drone flight unit 100 lands, it contacts the ground through the floor bracket 370, and the buffer 360 buffers and protects the logistics carrying unit 300 and the goods inside.

[0037] A monitoring probe is provided on the drone flight unit 100. The processor 410 is connected to a face recognition module connected to the monitoring probe, and the monitoring probe is used to photograph the flight path to facilitate remote control by personnel.

[0038] A waterproof protective shell is provided outside the motor 210 to provide waterproof protection for the motor 210.

[0039] An electronic display is provided outside each of the storage cavities 320 for displaying the coding information of the items stored inside.

[0040] In specific use, when delivering large items, it is not convenient to place the items inside the container. At this time, the items are hung on the hook 240, and the drone flight unit 100 drives the items to fly for delivery. After reaching the delivery location, the motor 210 drives the wire reel 220 to rotate, pays out the lifting rope 230, and lowers the items. The customer removes the items from the hook 240, and then the motor 210 drives the wire reel 220 to rotate to take in the lifting rope 230 to complete the delivery of the items. Small items are placed in the storage cavity 320 for storage, and the drone flight unit 100 drives the logistics carrying unit 300 to fly for delivery. After reaching the delivery location, the user connects to the processor 410 through the Bluetooth module 450 to verify the item information. After the verification is completed, the processor 410 controls the corresponding electric control cabinet door 330 to open, and the electric push rod 340 inside the electric control cabinet door 330 extends to push out the corresponding item to complete the delivery of the item.

[0041] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various improvements can be made to it and components therein can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be combined with each other in any way. The exhaustive description of these combinations is not given in this specification only for the sake of saving space and resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the text, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
