Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0003] The invention relates to an external unmanned aerial vehicle take-off and landing platform of an elevator shaft, which belongs to a building accessory structure of a civil residence. Background Art
[0005] At present, drones are very mature in cargo and loading. China currently has 85 million disabled people and about 260 million elderly people, and 90% of the elderly live at home. Among them, more than 60 million people need to travel in wheelchairs. As the population ages, the demand for wheelchairs will continue to grow for a long time. However, many existing houses are not prepared for this. Summary of the invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to invent an elevator shaft external drone take-off and landing platform, which is mainly used for drones to transfer wheelchairs and people in wheelchairs.
[0008] The solution of the present invention is an external drone landing platform for an elevator shaft, which is composed of a load-bearing platform and a fence, and is characterized in that the upper plane of the load-bearing platform is flush with the ground of the uppermost door frame of the elevator shaft. The purpose is to ensure that the wheelchair can smoothly enter and exit after the elevator door is opened.
[0009] The above-mentioned elevator shaft external drone take-off and landing platform is characterized in that the triangular support frame under the load-bearing platform is fixed off the ground to the elevator shaft wall below. The purpose is to prevent interference with pedestrians and vehicles on the ground. Especially in old residential areas, the ground space is limited and the contradiction between people, vehicles and roads is prominent.
[0010] The above-mentioned elevator shaft external drone take-off and landing platform is characterized in that the fence can be electrically leveled under control, so as to create a wider and flatter platform space for the drone.
[0011] The above-mentioned elevator shaft external drone take-off and landing platform is characterized in that: on the way leading to the load-bearing platform inside the elevator car, linked safety doors are set at the corresponding positions of the elevator car and the corresponding positions of the elevator shaft. The above two safety doors can only be opened after the drone has landed and stopped, such as by visual recognition or gravity sensors. Ensure safety during use. After the manned drone takes off, the normal procedure cannot open the above two safety doors. When the equipment needs maintenance and overhaul, manual application and confirmation are required from the background.
[0012] In this way, a wheelchair user can directly take a dedicated drone from home, through the elevator cabin on the top floor, and deliver the user and the wheelchair to the hospital or other places where they need to go, such as nearby shopping malls, scenic spots, office buildings, special vehicle parking lots, etc. This greatly saves time and energy, expands the space for wheelchair travel, and improves the quality of life, making contributions to building a friendly aging society. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0014] Figure 1 It is a side schematic diagram of the present invention, wherein: 1-elevator room; 2-top floor elevator shaft; 3-second top floor elevator shaft; 4-inner triangular support frame of the load-bearing platform; 5-outer triangular support frame of the load-bearing platform; 6-load-bearing platform; 7-front fence of the load-bearing platform; 8-side fence of the load-bearing platform. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] During implementation, the load-bearing platform, fence, and triangular support frame can all be made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy materials. The structure should use weight-reducing structures such as hollow tubes or honeycomb panels as much as possible to reduce the weight of the platform while ensuring strength. It is also possible to appropriately counterweight the load-bearing platform in the relative direction, similar to the tower crane of construction machinery, so as to increase the load-bearing platform. Especially when installing elevators in old communities, the present invention should be taken into consideration during the design and installation of the entire elevator and elevator shaft, and it should be done in one go, actively embracing the low-altitude economy and the aging society, which can reduce the operating costs of the entire society, improve the quality of life of relevant individuals, and improve the happiness index of relevant families.
[0017] When a house has two or more elevator shafts, the present invention can be installed between two adjacent elevator shafts, which is equivalent to an open sky corridor, connecting the two adjacent elevator shafts. UAVs can take off and land on this open sky corridor.
[0018] The present invention can also provide infrastructure for autonomous delivery of express delivery to households by drones combined with robots, and can avoid the peak hours of users going to and from get off work, and deliver goods to households by sharing elevators at different times.
