Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drone delivery, and more particularly to a drone. Background Technology

[0002] With the surge in demand for logistics and the development of drone manufacturing technology, drones have been widely used in logistics and delivery services. Compared to ground transportation, drones offer advantages such as lower cost, more flexible scheduling, and higher efficiency.

[0003] When using drones to deliver goods, the cargo box is fixed to the drone via a connecting device or placed directly on the drone's mounting bracket. This makes the cargo box prone to shaking and swaying during the drone's flight, causing the cargo inside to collide. At the same time, the shaking of the cargo box can also cause it to collide with the drone's fuselage, affecting the drone's normal flight. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a drone that can help fix logistics boxes, prevent the logistics boxes from shaking during drone flight, and improve transportation stability.

[0005] This application provides a drone for transporting logistics boxes, wherein the drone includes:

[0006] main body;

[0007] A fixing device is disposed on the main body along a first direction, and the fixing device is capable of fixing and clamping both ends of the logistics box so that the logistics box is fixed to the main body;

[0008] A limiting component is adjustablely mounted on the main body; the limiting component includes at least a mounting portion connected to the main body and a limiting portion connected to the mounting portion, the limiting portion being used to abut against the side of the logistics box to restrict the movement of the logistics box in a second direction; the mounting portion being used to abut against the top surface of the logistics box to restrict the movement of the logistics box in a third direction.

[0009] In one possible design, the limiting component includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member, both of which include the mounting portion and the limiting portion. Along the second direction, the first limiting member and the second limiting member are respectively connected to opposite sides of the main body to jointly restrict the movement of the logistics box in the second direction and the third direction.

[0010] In one possible design, the limiting part includes a limiting surface, and the limiting surface forms an angle α with the extending direction of the mounting part, the angle α satisfying: 110°≤α≤130°.

[0011] In one possible design, the limiting component further includes a mounting bracket, and the mounting portion and the limiting portion are connected to the main body via the mounting bracket.

[0012] In one possible design, along the third direction, the upper end of the mounting bracket is provided with a first mounting hole, which cooperates with a fastener to be fixedly connected to the main body, and the lower end of the mounting bracket is provided with a second mounting hole, which can be fixedly connected to the mounting part of the first limiting member.

[0013] In one possible design, along the second direction, the mounting bracket is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes at intervals, and the mounting portion of the first limiting member is provided with a first through hole that mates with the second mounting holes. The first through hole and the second mounting holes are connected by fasteners so that the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the first limiting member.

[0014] In one possible design, along the third direction, the mounting part is provided with a second through hole and a third through hole, both of which are fixedly connected to the main body.

[0015] In one possible design, along the second direction, the second limiting member is provided with at least two of the third through holes at intervals, and the main body can be connected to one of the third through holes so that the second limiting member can be installed on the main body at an adjustable angle.

[0016] In one possible design, a plurality of first limiting members are spaced apart on the main body along the first direction, and / or a plurality of second limiting members are spaced apart on the main body along the first direction.

[0017] In one possible design, the edges of both the first limiting member and the second limiting member are rounded.

[0018] In one possible design, a communication component is provided within the first limiting member and / or the second limiting member.

[0019] In this application, the logistics box is connected to the main body via a fixing device. During the flight of the drone, the fixing device restricts the movement of the logistics box along a first direction, preventing it from swaying in that direction. Along a second direction, the main body is also provided with a limiting component, which includes at least a mounting part and a limiting part. One end of the mounting part is fixedly connected to the main body, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting part, allowing the limiting part to be fixed to the main body. When the logistics box is fixedly connected to the main body, the limiting part abuts against both ends of the logistics box along the second direction, fixing the logistics box between the limiting components, thereby restricting its movement along the second direction and preventing it from swaying, achieving a stable connection between the logistics box and the main body. Simultaneously, the end of the mounting part near the logistics box abuts against both ends of the logistics box along a third direction, limiting its upward movement in that direction to a certain extent. This prevents the logistics box from colliding with the main body, thus avoiding impact on the normal operation of the drone's internal sensing and power components, ensuring stability during drone transport, and improving the safety of drone flight. This application, by incorporating a limiting component, can cooperate with a fixing device to assist in securing the logistics box, preventing it from shaking or swaying during drone transport and thus avoiding damage to the goods inside. It also prevents the logistics box from colliding with the main body, ensuring the drone's normal flight. Furthermore, the limiting component is adjustable and can be mounted on the main body, allowing it to be adapted to logistics boxes of different sizes, thus improving its practicality.

[0050] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0053] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0054] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this application are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.

[0055] This application provides a drone capable of transporting logistics boxes 4, thereby improving logistics transportation efficiency. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drone includes a main body 1, a fixing device 2, and a limiting component 3. The fixing device 2 is disposed on the main body 1 along the first direction X, and the fixing device 2 can fix and clamp both ends of the logistics box 4. The limiting component 3 is adjustablely mounted on the main body 1, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component 3 includes at least an mounting part 311 connected to the main body 1 and a limiting part 312 connected to the mounting part 311. The limiting part 312 is used to abut against the side of the logistics box 4 to restrict the movement of the logistics box 4 in the second direction Y; the mounting part 311 is used to abut against the top surface of the logistics box 4 to allow the logistics box 4 to move in the third direction Z.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown in the embodiment, the logistics box 4 is connected to the main body 1 by a fixing device 2. Specifically, the fixing device 2 can be a hook-like body connected to the main body 1, and the hook-like body can be a pair. Correspondingly, the logistics box 4 is provided with a mating hole, and the hook-like body hooks into the mating hole. During the flight of the drone, the fixing device 2 can restrict the movement of the logistics box 4 along the first direction X, and can prevent the logistics box 4 from swaying along the first direction X. In this embodiment, the logistics box 4 is a regular cuboid shape, the first direction X is the length direction of the logistics box, and the second direction Y is the width direction of the logistics box 4. In other embodiments, the logistics box 4 can also be other shapes.

[0057] Along the second direction Y, the main body 1 is also provided with a limiting component 3, which includes at least a mounting part 311 and a limiting part 312, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the mounting part 311 is fixedly connected to the main body 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting part 312, so that the limiting part 312 can be fixed to the main body 1. When the logistics box 4 is fixedly connected to the main body 1, the limiting part 312 can abut against both ends of the logistics box 4 along the second direction Y, fixing the logistics box 4 between the limiting components 3, thereby restricting the movement of the logistics box 4 along the second direction Y and preventing it from swaying, thus achieving a stable connection between the logistics box 4 and the main body 1. Simultaneously, the end of the mounting part 311 near the logistics box 4 can abut against both ends of the logistics box 4 along the third direction Z, to a certain extent restricting the upward movement of the logistics box 4 along the third direction Z, thereby preventing the logistics box 4 from colliding with the main body 1 and affecting the normal operation of the internal sensing and power components of the UAV. This ensures the stability of the UAV during transportation and improves the safety of UAV flight. By setting the limiting component 3, it can cooperate with the fixing device 2 to achieve auxiliary fixation of the logistics box 4, preventing the logistics box 4 from shaking and swaying during drone transportation, which could cause the goods inside to collide. It can also prevent the logistics box 4 from colliding with the main body 1, ensuring the normal flight of the drone. In addition, the logistics box 4 is usually used in food delivery scenarios. The fixing device 2 can ensure that the logistics box 4 is stably fixed to the main body 1 of the drone, and the limiting component 3 prevents the logistics box from shaking, thus preventing the food inside the box from spilling out and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the limiting component 3 can be adjusted and installed on the main body 1, so that the limiting component 3 can be adapted to logistics boxes 4 of different sizes, improving the practicality of the limiting component 3.

[0058] This application does not limit the specific shape and size of the mounting part 311 and the limiting part 312, and can be [specifically designed / made] Figure 3 or Figure 4 The structure shown in the embodiment can also be of other shapes. The mounting part 311 and the limiting part 312 can be an integrally formed structure or a separate structure connected by means of bonding, welding, bolting or other methods.

[0059] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the length direction of the logistics box 4 is parallel to the forward direction of the drone, and the logistics box 4 is connected to the main body 1. In this application, the first direction X is the width direction of the logistics box 4, the second direction Y is the length direction of the logistics box 4, and the third direction Z is the height direction of the logistics box 4. Based on this, in this embodiment, the second direction Y is the forward direction of the drone, the first direction X is perpendicular to the forward direction of the drone, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the plane containing the first direction X and the second direction Y. When the connection angle between the logistics box 4 and the main body 1 changes, the aforementioned first direction X, second direction Y, and third direction Z also change accordingly.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the limiting component 3 includes a first limiting member 31 and a second limiting member 32. Both the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 include a mounting part 311 and a limiting part 312. Along the second direction Y, the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the main body 1 to jointly restrict the movement of the logistics box 4 in the second direction Y and the third direction Z.

[0061] In this embodiment, along the second direction Y, the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the main body 1, and the limiting portions 312 of the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 can cooperate with each other to clamp the two ends of the logistics box 4 along the second direction Y, so as to prevent the logistics box 4 from being displaced along the second direction Y during the flight of the drone. At the same time, the mounting portions 311 of the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 can also limit the logistics box 4 from being displaced along the third direction Z during the flight of the drone, thereby improving the transportation stability of the logistics box 4.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting part 312 includes a limiting surface 312a, and an angle α is formed between the limiting surface 312a and the extending direction of the mounting part 311. The angle α satisfies: 110°≤α≤130°. Specifically, the angle α can be 110°, 115°, 120°, 130°, etc.

[0063] In this embodiment, the limiting part 312 includes a limiting surface 312a, which can guide the logistics box 4. When the logistics box 4 is connected to the main body 1 through the fixing device 2, the two ends of the upper surface of the logistics box 4 along the second direction Y can slide along the limiting surface 312a until the logistics box 4 can be fixedly clamped by the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32. When the angle α between the limiting surface 312a and the extension direction of the mounting part 311 is too large (e.g., greater than 130°), the slope of the limiting surface 312a of the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 is too large, making it impossible for the logistics box 4 to be snapped between the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32, resulting in the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 being unable to cooperate to clamp and fix the logistics box 4; when the angle α is too small (e.g., less than 110°), the slope of the limiting surface 312a of the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 is too small, making it difficult for the two ends of the upper surface of the logistics box 4 along the second direction Y to slide along the limiting surface 312a, resulting in the logistics box 4 being unable to continue sliding upward along the limiting surface 312a, resulting in the logistics box 4 being unable to be clamped and fixed.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the limiting component 3 also includes a mounting bracket 33, and the mounting part 311 and the limiting part 312 are connected to the main body 1 through the mounting bracket 33.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the first limiting member 31 is inconvenient to be directly connected to the main body 1, an installation bracket 33 can be provided for auxiliary connection. Both the mounting part 311 and the limiting part 312 are connected to the main body 1 through the installation bracket 33, so that the first limiting member 31 can be fixed to the main body 1, thereby realizing the fixed clamping of the logistics box 4.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, along the third direction Z, the upper end of the mounting bracket 33 is provided with a first mounting hole 331, which cooperates with the fastener 5 to be fixedly connected to the main body 1. The lower end of the mounting bracket 33 is provided with a second mounting hole 332, which can be fixedly connected to the mounting part 311 of the first limiting member 31.

[0067] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 33 is vertically arranged along the third direction Z, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the mounting portion 311 of the main body 1 and the first limiting member 31, respectively, so that the first limiting member 31 can be fixed to the main body 1. Wherein, as... Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the embodiment, the upper end of the mounting bracket 33 is provided with a first mounting hole 331, which is fixedly connected to the main body 1 by fastener 5; the lower end of the mounting bracket 33 is provided with a second mounting hole 332, which can be fixedly connected to the mounting part 311 of the first limiting member 31, thereby improving the connection stability of the first limiting member 31 and preventing the first limiting member 31 from shaking during the flight of the drone.

[0068] This application does not limit the specific structure of the mounting bracket 33, and it can be designed according to the spatial dimensions of the connection between the mounting bracket 33 and the main body 1 and the structure of the main body 1.

[0069] More specifically, along the second direction Y, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 33 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 332 at intervals. The mounting part 311 of the first limiting member 31 is provided with a first through hole 311a that cooperates with the second mounting holes 332. The first through hole 311a and the second mounting holes 332 are connected by fasteners 5 so that the mounting bracket 33 and the first limiting member 31 are fixedly connected.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the mounting bracket 33 is assembled with the first limiting member 31, the second mounting hole 332 is aligned with the first through hole 311a. The fastener 5 is then passed through the second mounting hole 332 and the first through hole 311a in sequence, fixing the first limiting member 31 to the mounting bracket 33. This allows the first limiting member 31 to be fixedly connected to the main body 1. Simultaneously, the second mounting hole 332 and the first through hole 311a provide positioning for the fastener 5. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment, the number of first through holes 311a is greater than the number of second mounting holes 332, so that the first through holes 311a can be connected with different second mounting holes 332, thereby allowing the first limiting member 31 to adjust its position along the second direction Y and abut against logistics boxes 4 of different sizes, thus enabling the limiting component 3 to adapt to logistics boxes 4 of different sizes. Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment, the second mounting hole 332 and the first through hole 311a can also be located on both sides of the main body 1 and connected by fasteners 5, which can improve the connection strength between the first limiting member 31 and the mounting bracket 33.

[0071] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment, the mounting bracket 33 and the first limiting member 31 are connected by two fasteners 5, which improves the installation stability of the first limiting member 31. The use of fasteners 5 for connection results in a simple structure that is easy to disassemble. When the first limiting member 31 or the mounting bracket 33 is damaged, it can be easily replaced, reducing maintenance costs.

[0072] Among them, fastener 5 can be Figure 3The bolts shown in the implementation can also be clips or spring-loaded rubber nails, which are inexpensive and easy to replace.

[0073] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, along the third direction Z, the mounting part 311 is provided with a second through hole 321 and a third through hole 322, both of which are fixedly connected to the main body 1.

[0074] In this embodiment, the mounting part 311 is fixedly connected to the main body 1 through the second through hole 321 and the third through hole 322, so that the second limiting member 32 can be fixedly connected to the main body 1, thereby realizing the fixed clamping of the logistics box 4. By providing the second through hole 321 and the third through hole 322, both of which are fixedly connected to the main body 1, the connection stability of the second limiting member 32 can be improved, and the second limiting member 32 can be prevented from shaking during the flight of the drone.

[0075] In addition, the second through hole 321 and the third through hole 322 can be passed through. Figure 4 The fastener 5 shown in the embodiment is fixedly connected to the main body 1, and the connection stability is good.

[0076] Specifically, along the second direction Y, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second limiting member 32 is provided with at least two third through holes 322 at intervals, and the main body 1 can be connected to one of the third through holes 322 so that the second limiting member 32 can be installed on the main body 1 at an adjustable angle.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the second limiting member 32 is assembled with the main body 1, if the dimension of the logistics box 4 along the second direction Y is small, such as Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment, the main body 1 can be connected to the third through hole 322 near the main body 1, so that the second limiting member 32 can be fixedly connected to the main body 1; if the dimension of the logistics box 4 along the second direction Y is large, such as Figure 8 As shown in the embodiment, the main body 1 can be connected to the third through hole 322 away from the main body 1, so that the second limiting member 32 is fixedly connected to the main body 1. By providing at least two third through holes 322 spaced apart on the second limiting member 32, the second limiting member 32 can be installed on the main body 1 at an adjustable angle, so that the second limiting member 32 can abut against logistics boxes 4 of different sizes, thereby enabling the limiting component 3 to be adapted to logistics boxes 4 of different sizes, improving the practicality of the limiting component 3.

[0078] It should be noted that the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 in this application are two independent guide members arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y, but it does not limit one of the guide members to be the first limiting member 31 or the second limiting member 32. Therefore, when the guide member near the front end of the drone along the second direction Y is the first limiting member 31, the guide member near the rear end of the drone is the second limiting member 32; when the guide member near the front end of the drone along the second direction Y is the second limiting member 32, the guide member near the rear end of the drone is the first limiting member 31. Based on this, this application does not limit the connection method between the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 and the main body 1. The first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 can be fixedly connected to the main body 1 by setting the mounting bracket 33, or fixedly connected to the main body 1 by setting the second through hole 321 and the third through hole 322, so that the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 can be connected to the main body 1 in an adjustable position along the second direction Y, thereby enabling the limiting component 3 to be adapted to logistics boxes 4 of different sizes.

[0079] More specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, along the first direction X, a plurality of first limiting members 31 are provided at intervals on the main body 1, and / or, along the first direction X, a plurality of second limiting members 32 are provided at intervals on the main body 1.

[0080] In this embodiment, the number of the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 is not limited. When the size of the logistics box 4 along the first direction X is large, two or more first limiting members 31 and more second limiting members 32 can be provided, so that the limiting component 3 can more firmly clamp the logistics box 4 along the second direction Y, preventing the logistics box 4 from shaking during the flight of the drone. In addition, the multiple first limiting members 31 and multiple second limiting members 32 are arranged at intervals, which can disperse the pressure on the contact surface between the limiting component 3 and the logistics box 4, reduce stress concentration, and prevent the first limiting member 31 or the second limiting member 32 from breaking, thereby improving the service life of the limiting component 3.

[0081] In this application, the distance between two adjacent first limiting members 31 and two adjacent second limiting members 32 is not limited. Multiple first limiting members 31 or multiple second limiting members 32 can be evenly arranged along the first direction X or unevenly arranged, as long as the logistics box 4 does not move along the second direction Y or the third direction Z during the flight of the drone.

[0082] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the edges of the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 are both rounded.

[0083] In this embodiment, the edges of both the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 are rounded. This makes the edges neat and smooth, preventing the parts of the first limiting member 31 or the second limiting member 32 that come into contact with the logistics box 4 from scratching the surface of the box or deforming the box due to compression when clamping the logistics box 4.

[0084] In one specific embodiment, a communication component is provided within the first limiting member 31 and / or the second limiting member 32.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 31 and / or the second limiting member 32 can be configured as a hollow structure, which allows communication components to be placed inside the first limiting member 31 or the second limiting member 32 for data transmission, thereby improving the communication capability of the UAV. At the same time, it can reduce the overall size of the UAV and facilitate the lightweight design of the UAV.

[0086] In this application, the material of the first limiting member 31 or the second limiting member 32 can be metal or plastic. When the first limiting member 31 or the second limiting member 32 is provided with communication components such as antennas, plastic material is usually selected for manufacturing in order to avoid affecting the signal transmission of the communication components.

[0087] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
