Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone parking technology, and in particular to a window for parking drones and a method for parking drones. Background Technology

[0002] Remote monitoring and emergency care systems can significantly reduce the mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. For such systems, which utilize drones for emergency supplies delivery, enabling drones to quickly deliver supplies to patients and shorten delivery time is crucial for improving treatment outcomes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a window for docking drones, which helps to shorten the delivery time of drones. This application also provides a method for parking a drone.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a window for docking a drone, comprising: a window frame; a window sash, the lower end of which is hinged to the window frame; the window sash being capable of rotating inward relative to the window frame to a closed position that closes the window frame and rotating outward relative to the window frame to a stopped position parallel to the horizontal plane; and a stop member disposed on the outer side of the window frame for preventing the window sash from continuing to rotate when the window sash rotates relative to the window frame to the stopped position.

[0005] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a method for parking a drone, utilizing a window from the first aspect of this application. The method includes: receiving pairing request information sent by the drone, the pairing request information including identification information; establishing a connection with the drone based on the identification information to receive a window opening command from the drone; when the window opening command is received, controlling the window sash to rotate outward relative to the window frame to a parking position parallel to the horizontal plane; and when the window sash is rotated to the parking position, sending a landing permission command to the drone.

[0006] The window in this embodiment allows a drone to directly dock on the window sash when it is opened, enabling users to retrieve emergency supplies from the drone through the window, thus shortening the delivery time of medical supplies. Because this embodiment uses a flexible strip to open and close the window sash, when the drone docks on the sash, it may come into contact with the flexible strip if its positioning accuracy is not high. Compared to rigid contact between the drone and rigid materials such as telescopic poles, the flexible strip in this embodiment reduces the probability of damage to the drone.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are one embodiment of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0041] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0042] As mentioned earlier, for remote monitoring and emergency medical systems that rely on drones for emergency supplies delivery, enabling drones to quickly deliver supplies to patients and shorten delivery time is crucial for improving patient treatment outcomes. The inventors of this application have discovered that modifying a user's window so that the window sash can be used as a landing point for the drone when open can help shorten the delivery time.

[0043] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide a window for docking drones to shorten the delivery time of drones.

[0044] See Figures 1 to 5 The window in this embodiment of the invention includes a window frame 10 and a window sash 20. The window frame 10 is typically mounted on a wall. The lower end of the window sash 20 is hinged to the window frame 10. The window sash 20 is capable of rotating inward relative to the window frame 10 to a closed position that closes the window frame 10; and rotating outward relative to the window frame 10 to a stationary position parallel to the horizontal plane to allow the drone to dock. It is readily understood that in this embodiment, when the window sash 20 is in the stationary position, the window sash 20 is located outdoors. In this embodiment, "rotating inward" can be understood as rotating towards the interior; "rotating outward" can be understood as rotating towards the exterior.

[0045] In some embodiments, the window further includes a stop 40 disposed on the outer side of the window frame 10 to prevent the window sash 20 from continuing to rotate downward from the stopped position. In such embodiments, the stop 40 can bear at least part of the weight of the window sash 20, providing support for the window sash 20. The window structure of this embodiment is simple and suitable for installation in a user's home. When the user opens the window sash 20, the drone is allowed to land directly on the window sash 20, allowing the user to access the goods transported by the drone through the window, thereby shortening the delivery time of the goods.

[0046] The inventors of this application further discovered that if a rigid telescopic rod is used to open and close the window sash relative to the window frame, when the drone docks on the window sash, if the drone's positioning accuracy is not high, the drone may come into contact with the rigid telescopic rod during the docking process, thereby causing damage to the drone.

[0047] Therefore, to reduce the probability of damage to the drone, in some embodiments, the window further includes at least one flexible strip 50 and a retraction assembly 60. Each flexible strip 50 is connected to the window sash 20. The retraction assembly 60 is used to retract each flexible strip 50. When the retraction assembly 60 retracts each flexible strip 50, the window sash 20 can rotate relative to the window frame 10 to a closed position that closes the window frame 10; when the retraction assembly 60 releases each flexible strip 50, the window sash 20 can rotate outward relative to the window frame 10 to a stopping position parallel to the horizontal plane to allow the drone to dock.

[0048] When the drone lands on the window sash 20, if the drone's positioning accuracy is not high, the drone may come into contact with the flexible strip 50. Compared with the drone coming into rigid contact with rigid materials such as telescopic poles, the present invention uses the flexible strip 50 to realize the opening and closing of the window sash 20 relative to the window frame 10, which can reduce the probability of damage to the drone.

[0049] In a further embodiment, when the window has a stop 40, the retraction assembly 60 can also be configured to continue releasing the flexible straps 50 when the window sash 20 is in the stopped position by releasing the flexible straps 50, so that the flexible straps 50 can be in a relaxed state. See also Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9In this embodiment, since the flexible band 50 is in a relaxed state rather than a tensioned state, on the one hand, when the drone's landing point on the window sash 20 deviates due to inaccurate positioning, even if the drone comes into contact with the flexible band 50, the relaxed flexible band 50 is less likely to cause damage to the drone; on the other hand, since the flexible band 50 is in a relaxed state, it can droop under the action of gravity, thereby "giving way" to the drone in flight, minimizing obstruction to the drone, and allowing the drone to fly from the side of the window sash 20 to directly above the window sash 20 at a lower position, which helps to improve the accuracy of the drone landing.

[0050] In some embodiments, the window sash 20 includes a frame 21 and a glass panel 22 mounted inside the frame 21. In such embodiments, when the window for drone docking is installed in a user's home, it also has the ventilation and light transmission functions of a regular window without significantly negatively impacting the ventilation and light transmission of the house.

[0051] The flexible strip 50 can be connected to the frame 21 via the first connector 52. For ease of installation, an end fitting 51 can be provided at the end of the flexible strip 50, which is connected to the frame 21 via the first connector 52. The flexible strip 50 can be hinged to the first connector 52, so that the flexible strip 50 near the end fitting 51 is less prone to wear when the window sash 20 rotates at different angles relative to the window frame 10.

[0052] The window frame 10 may have a rectangular structure. The window frame 10 may include an upper first horizontal bar 11, a lower first horizontal bar 12, and two first side bars 13 connected to the upper first horizontal bar 11 and the lower first horizontal bar 12 on the same side laterally. Here, the two first side bars 13 are the left first side bar and the right first side bar, respectively. A stop member 40 may be formed on the lower first horizontal bar 12.

[0053] Accordingly, the frame 21 can also be rectangular. The frame 21 may include an upper second horizontal bar 211, a lower second horizontal bar 212, and two second side bars 213 respectively connected to the upper second horizontal bar 211 and the lower second horizontal bar 212 on the same side laterally. The lower second horizontal bar 212 is hinged to the lower first horizontal bar 12. For example, the lower second horizontal bar 212 is hinged to the lower first horizontal bar 12 via a hinge portion 30. The hinge portion 30 can be a pivot 31.

[0054] In some embodiments, the number of flexible strips 50 can be one. In some embodiments, the number of flexible strips 50 can be two, with each flexible strip 50 connected to the upper part of the two second side bars 213 via two first connectors 52. Compared to connecting the flexible strip 50 to the upper first crossbar 11 via the first connectors 52, connecting the flexible strip 50 to the upper part of the second side bars 213 via the first connectors 52 can prevent the flexible strip 50 from extending along the entire length of the glass panel 22 when the window sash 20 is in the stopped position, thereby reducing the adverse effects of the flexible strip 50 on the drone's landing.

[0055] See Figure 6 In some embodiments, the retraction assembly 60 may include a rotating shaft 62 and two retraction wheels 61. The two ends of the rotating shaft 62 are rotatably mounted on two first side bars 13 of the window frame 10. The end of each flexible strip 50 furthest from the first connector 52 is wound around one retraction wheel 61. The two retraction wheels 61 are coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 62 and rotate together with it. The rotating shaft 62 drives the two retraction wheels 61 to rotate forward and backward, thereby releasing and retracting the flexible strip 50. Since the two retraction wheels 61 are connected to the same rotating shaft 62, it is possible to ensure that the two retraction wheels 61 synchronously retract and extend the two flexible strips 50.

[0056] See Figure 4 In some embodiments, when the window sash 20 is in the closed position, the projected outlines of the two retractable wheels 61 in the plane of the glass panel 22 are respectively located within the projected outlines of the two first side rods 13 in the same plane. In such embodiments, the retractable wheels 61 do not affect the light transmission of the glass panel 22.

[0057] See Figure 6 In some embodiments, the retraction assembly 60 further includes: a drive motor 64, a first synchronous pulley (not shown), a second synchronous pulley 67, and a synchronous belt 63. The drive motor 64 is mounted on the upper first crossbar 11. The first synchronous pulley is driven to rotate by the drive motor 64. The shaft of the first synchronous pulley can be mounted on the upper first crossbar 11 via bearings and mounting components.

[0058] The second synchronous pulley 67 is fitted onto the middle of the rotating shaft 62. The synchronous belt 63 meshes with the first and second synchronous pulleys 67, so that the first synchronous pulley drives the second synchronous pulley 67 to rotate. In this embodiment, by setting the synchronous pulleys and the synchronous belt 63, the synchronous rotation of the two take-up and release pulleys 61 can be achieved using only one motor, saving the space occupied by the take-up and release assembly 60.

[0059] The take-up and take-down assembly 60 also includes a cover for housing the first synchronous pulley, the second synchronous pulley 67, and the synchronous belt 63.

[0060] The retractable assembly 60 also includes two second connectors 66 and two bearings 65. The two second connectors 66 are respectively connected to the upper parts of the two first side bars 13. Here, "upper part" can be understood as a position close to the upper first crossbar 11. The two bearings 65 are respectively disposed on the two second connectors 66. The axial ends of the rotating shaft 62 are respectively connected to the two bearings 65. In this embodiment, the retractable wheel 61 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 62, so that only the two ends of the rotating shaft 62 need to be connected to the two first side bars 13 of the window frame 10, and the drive motor 64 fixed to the upper first crossbar 11 of the window frame 10. Rotational transmission between the two is achieved through the synchronous belt 63, which not only makes reasonable use of space for layout but also minimizes the impact on the window's view and facilitates the installation of the retractable assembly 60.

[0061] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, the window frame 10 is provided with a locking part 71, and the window sash 20 is provided with a locking engagement part 72. When the window sash 20 is in the closed position, the window sash 20 can be locked to the window frame 10 by the engagement of the locking engagement part 72 and the locking part 71. In some embodiments, the locking part 71 can be an electric lock.

[0062] A sealing strip can also be formed around the periphery of the window sash 20 to improve the sealing effect of the window frame 10 when the window sash 20 is in the closed state.

[0063] See Figure 7 In some embodiments, the window sash 20 is formed with at least one positioning mark for drone positioning. When the window sash 20 is in a parked position, the drone can locate itself based on the at least one positioning mark to dock on the window sash 20. The positioning mark formed on the window sash 20 in this embodiment facilitates the smooth landing of the drone on the window sash 20.

[0064] Each positioning mark can be formed on the glass plate 22. The positioning marks formed on the glass plate 22 include a first positioning mark 221, a second positioning mark 222, a third positioning mark 223, and a fourth positioning mark 224, wherein the first positioning mark 221, the fourth positioning mark 224, the second positioning mark 222, and the third positioning mark 223 are respectively symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal direction of the glass plate 22.

[0065] The first positioning mark 221 and the second positioning mark 222 are respectively located at the upper corners of the glass panel 22, and the third positioning mark 223 and the fourth positioning mark 224 are respectively located on the two sides of the glass panel 22. The first positioning mark 221, the second positioning mark 222, the third positioning mark 223, and the fourth positioning mark 224 together define a rectangular area A. This rectangular area A is the area where the UAV can land after positioning according to the positioning marks. The glass panel 22 can be divided into an upper half (i.e., the side away from the hinge 30) and a lower half (i.e., the side close to the hinge 30) along the height direction of the window sash 20. The rectangular area A is located in the upper half of the glass panel 22 so that the UAV is as far away from the window frame 10 as possible when landing, avoiding collision with the window frame 10.

[0066] The lines connecting the two flexible strips 50 to the corresponding first connectors 52 are located in the middle of rectangular region A. Rectangular region A can be divided along the height of the window sash 20 into an upper third, a middle third, and a lower third, with the middle third being the central area of ​​rectangular region A. This arrangement helps reduce the torque required to rotate the window sash 20 from the stopped position to the closed position (i.e., reducing the torque required to retract the flexible strips 50), and also minimizes the impact of the flexible strips 50 on the drone's landing. Specifically, after the flexible strips 50 are relaxed by the retraction assembly 60, the flexible strips 50 located on both sides of rectangular region A will droop towards the corresponding second side bars 213, thus making the vertical impact of the flexible strips 50 on the drone's landing negligible, increasing the safety of the drone's landing. Therefore, this embodiment of the application, by rationally arranging the retraction assembly 60, positioning marks, and the positions of the first connectors 52 on the window frame 10 and window sash 20, can improve the safety of drone landing with lower cost and a simpler installation method.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figures 10 to 15 The window may also include a damping element 80 for providing damping to the window sash 20 during its rotation relative to the window frame 10 from a closed position to a stopped position. In such an embodiment, the window may not have the flexible belt 50 and the retraction assembly 60, but can instead rotate from the closed position relative to the window frame 10 to the stopped position under gravity. During the rotation, the damping element 80 provides rotational damping, thereby allowing the window sash 20 to slowly rotate relative to the window frame 10 from the closed position to the stopped position.

[0068] In such an embodiment, since there is no need to provide a telescopic rod or flexible strip 50 for the window sash 20, the probability of damage to the drone can be further reduced, making it easier for the drone to land.

[0069] In some embodiments, the damping element 80 can be a coil spring damping element 80, which is disposed at the connection between the lower first crossbar 12 and the first side bar 13. One end of the rotating shaft 31 is connected to the coil spring damping element 80 so that it is damped by the coil spring during rotation. Since the coil spring damping element 80 is disposed at the connection between the lower first crossbar 12 and the first side bar 13, the coil spring damping element 80 can play a damping role without affecting the landing of the UAV.

[0070] See Figure 16 The coil spring damping component 80 includes a coil spring seat 81 and a coil spring 82 disposed within the coil spring seat 81. The coil spring seat 81 is provided with a slot 811, and the outer connector 821 of the coil spring 82, located on the radially outer side, extends radially outward and engages with the slot 811. The rotating shaft 31 is also provided with a slot, and the inner connector 822 of the coil spring 82, located on the radially inner side, extends radially inward to engage with the slot of the rotating shaft 31.

[0071] When window sash 20 is in the closed position, the plane containing window sash 20 extends outwards and upwards. See also Figure 12 There is an angle α between the plane where the window sash 20 is located and the vertical plane. In this embodiment, when the window sash 20 is in the closed position, its center of gravity is unstable. Without using the locking engagement part 72 and the locking part 71 to lock the window sash 20 to the window frame 10, the window sash 20 can rotate outward to the stop position under its own gravity.

[0072] The outer surface of the window frame 10 slopes outward from bottom to top, while the inner surface of the window frame 10 (i.e., the surface facing the interior) is basically in a vertical plane. When the window sash 20 is in the closed position, the window sash 20 is basically flush with the outer surface of the window frame 10, or slightly protrudes from the outer surface of the window frame 10.

[0073] See Figure 12 The window may also include a counterweight 92, disposed on the upper part of the window sash 20, so that the window sash 20 can rotate from the closed position relative to the window frame 10 to the stopped position under the action of gravity. The counterweight 92 can be disposed on the upper second crossbar 211 via a connector 93.

[0074] In some embodiments, the locking part 71 can be an electromagnetic lock. The electromagnetic lock includes an electromagnetic generator, a return spring, and a latch. The locking engagement part 72 is provided with a keyhole. When the electromagnetic lock is energized, the electromagnetic generator generates magnetism, attracting the latch, causing the latch to retract from the keyhole, and the window sash 20 is unlocked from the window frame 10. After the window sash 20 is closed, the electromagnetic lock is de-energized, and the latch pops out under the action of the return spring, inserting into the keyhole and locking the window sash 20 to the window frame 10.

[0075] See Figure 17 and Figure 18In some embodiments, the locking engagement part 72 includes a latch seat 721, a latch 723, a pull pin 725, a return spring 724, and a return spring 726.

[0076] The latch seat 721 has a latch seat groove 722, and the latch 723 is slidably disposed in the latch seat groove 722. One end of the latch 723 forms a locking hole 7231 for engaging with the locking tongue of the locking part 71; the other end of the latch 723 has a return spring 724 for providing a force to the latch 723 to move in the direction of the locking tongue. The latch 723 forms a latch groove 7232, and the latch seat 721 also forms a slot, through which the pull pin 725 can pass into the slot to fix the latch 723 in the latch seat groove 722. The pull pin 725 includes a head located at both ends and a connecting part connecting the two ends. The connecting part of the pull pin 725 is fitted with a return spring 726 for providing a force to the pull pin 725 to engage with the slot.

[0077] Under normal circumstances, when the electromagnetic lock is energized, the electromagnetic generator produces magnetism, attracting the bolt and causing it to retract from the keyhole 7231, allowing the window sash 20 to open automatically. After the window sash 20 is closed, the electromagnetic lock is de-energized, and the bolt, under the action of the return spring, pops out and inserts into the keyhole 7231, locking the window sash 20.

[0078] In abnormal situations (such as power outages), the pull pin 725 can be manually pulled out of the slot to activate the latch 723. Pulling the latch 723 in the opposite direction to the latch bolt (compressing the return spring 724) disengages the latch 723 from the latch bolt, and the window sash 20 opens automatically. When the pull pin 725 and latch 723 are released, the latch 723 returns to its original position under the action of the return spring 724, and the pull pin 725 returns to its original position and inserts into the slot under the action of the return spring 726.

[0079] When it is necessary to close the window sash 20, the pull pin 725 is manually pulled out of the slot to put the latch 723 in an active state. The latch 723 is then pulled in the opposite direction to the bolt (at this time, the return spring 724 is compressed), causing the latch 723 to make way for the bolt. When the window sash 20 is fully closed, the pull pin 725 and the latch 723 are released. The latch 723 extends under the action of the return spring 724 to engage with the bolt, and the pull pin 725 is inserted into the slot to lock the window sash 20.

[0080] See Figure 19 In some embodiments, the window may further include a processor 94, which is configured to receive a window opening command from the drone 300 and, upon receiving the window opening command, control the locking engagement part 72 and the locking part 71 to unlock.

[0081] The processor 94 is also used to: receive pairing request information sent by the drone 300, the pairing request information including identification information; establish a connection with the drone 300 based on the identification information, so as to receive the drone 300's window opening command.

[0082] In this embodiment, after pairing with the drone 300, the drone 300 sends a window-opening command. The processor 94 energizes the electromagnetic lock according to the command, causing the bolt to automatically disengage from the lock cylinder, thus achieving automatic window opening. In embodiments where the window does not have the flexible strip 50 and the retractable assembly 60, the window sash 20 may be equipped with a handle 91. When the bolt automatically disengages from the lock cylinder, the window sash 20 automatically rotates outward to the stop position; the drone 300 lands on the window sash 20 according to the positioning marker. After the drone 300 completes its task, when it needs to close the window, the user can manually close the window sash 20 using the handle 91.

[0083] In the embodiment where the window includes a flexible strip 50 and a retractable assembly 60, after the electromagnetic lock is energized and the bolt automatically disengages from the lock hole, the drive motor 64 starts, releasing the flexible strip 50. Under gravity, the window sash 20 slowly opens. After opening to the stopping position, the drive motor 64 rotates a specified number of revolutions and then automatically stops. The drone 300 lands on the window sash 20 according to the positioning marker. After completing its mission, the drone 300 flies away and issues a window-closing command. Upon receiving the command, the processor 94 starts the drive motor 64, retracting the flexible strip 50 to slowly close the window sash 20. The drive motor 64 rotates a specified number of revolutions and then automatically stops. Afterwards, the processor 94 de-energizes the electromagnetic lock, locking the window sash 20.

[0084] In some situations, when the weight capacity of the drone 300 is limited, or when emergency relief supplies are not in the same location, and the remote monitoring and emergency rescue system 200 requires multiple drones 300 to deliver them separately, there may be instances where the drones 300 arrive at their destinations at the same time. In this case, after the processor 94 establishes pairing relationships with each drone 300, opening the window sash 20 may cause interference between the drones 300, preventing them from landing smoothly on the window sash 20, thus extending the delivery time of the emergency supplies.

[0085] To address this situation, in some embodiments, the identification information of the drone 300 includes information about the emergency medical supplies it carries, with different information corresponding to different landing priorities. In some embodiments, the remote monitoring and emergency medical system 200 is communicatively connected to the patient's monitoring device 400 and can obtain the patient's monitoring data based on the monitoring device 400. When the remote monitoring and emergency medical system 200 dispatches two drones 300, one carrying emergency medicine and the other carrying emergency medical equipment, the system can determine the landing priority of the drone 300 carrying the emergency medicine and the drone 300 carrying the emergency medical equipment based on the patient's monitoring data. It is easy to understand that the drone 300 with the higher priority will land first.

[0086] The processor 94 is also configured to: when receiving pairing request information from two or more drones 300 within a preset time interval, send a landing permission command to the drone 300 with the highest priority and a queuing command to the other drones 300 according to their landing priorities. Drones 300 that receive the landing permission command can prepare to land, while drones 300 that receive the queuing command can choose to hover or choose to avoid the landing. This embodiment of the application can determine the drone 300 that should land first based on the landing priority corresponding to the emergency supplies information. This avoids interference between multiple drones 300, which delays the receipt of emergency supplies, and allows patients to receive the supplies they urgently need first, thereby improving the treatment effect.

[0087] In some embodiments, the preset time interval may be, for example, 1-2 minutes.

[0088] In some embodiments, the processor 94 is further configured to: after the currently landing drone 300 takes off, send a landing permission instruction to the drone 300 with the highest priority among the drones 300 waiting in the queue, according to the landing priority.

[0089] In some embodiments, after receiving takeoff information from the currently landing drone 300, the processor 94 determines that the currently landing drone 300 has taken off and can send a landing permission command to the next priority drone 300.

[0090] This application also provides a method for parking a drone 300, which utilizes a window as described in this application embodiment. The parking method includes: receiving pairing request information sent by the drone 300, the pairing request information including identification information; establishing a connection with the drone 300 based on the identification information to receive a window opening command from the drone 300; when the window opening command is received from the drone 300, controlling the window sash 20 to rotate outward relative to the window frame 10 to a parking position parallel to the horizontal plane; when the window sash 20 is rotated to the parking position, sending a landing permission command to the drone 300.

[0091] In some embodiments, the shutdown method further includes: when receiving pairing request information from two or more drones 300 within a preset time interval, sending a landing permission instruction to the drone 300 with the highest priority and a queuing instruction to the other drones 300 according to the landing priority.

[0092] In some embodiments, the shutdown method further includes: after the currently landing drone 300 takes off, sending a landing permission instruction to the drone 300 with the highest priority among the drones 300 waiting in the queue, according to the landing priority.

[0093] Regarding the embodiments of the present invention, it should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.

[0094] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. The scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
