[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-5 A safe delivery system for drones includes a courier station database, a safe delivery module and a delivery area, and the safe delivery module includes a drone positioning module, a drone database, a map module, a mobile control module, an identification module and a delivery module.

[0027] In the case implementation, the courier station database includes sequence, address, goods, telephone number, drone number, drone location and status. The status includes pending delivery and delivered. The courier station database is used to store express information and delivery information. A sequence, address, goods, telephone number, drone number, drone location and status is a complete express information, which is easy to record, store and search. For example, you can find a complete express information through a unique telephone number, and you can find all the goods delivered by the drone through the drone number.

[0028] In the case implementation, the drone positioning module is used to locate the drone, so that the location of the drone and the delivery progress can be known. The drone database is used to store the sequence, address, goods and status information of this delivery. The drone only does delivery work and delivers according to the address. The status includes pending delivery and delivered. After the delivery of a good to an address is completed, the status of the sequence is changed to delivered. The initial status of all sequences in the drone database is pending delivery.

[0029] In the case implementation, the map module is used to display the information of the drone positioning module. The information of the drone positioning module can be viewed in real time through the map module. The map module is used to plan the delivery sequence and route. The delivery sequence and route follow the rules of from near to far, the shortest adjacent distance, the shortest total distance, and a closed route. The map module arranges the correspondence between the address, goods, telephone number and sequence of the express station database according to the above rules, so that the delivery speed is fast, the delivery time is short, the efficiency is high, the consumption of drones is small, and the delivery information can be sent to the corresponding telephone.

[0030] In the case implementation, the mobile control module is used to control the direction and height of the drone. A communication connection is established between the mobile control module and the delivery module. A sensor is provided at the delivery module. The sensor is used to detect whether the goods are in contact with the delivery area. The sensor is located between the delivery module and the goods. The sensor can be a weight sensor. The goods exert pressure on the sensor. When the lower surface of the goods contacts the cushion, the pressure of the goods on the sensor decreases, so the sensor detects that the weight has become lighter, and the delivery module can deliver the goods corresponding to the address.

[0031] In the case implementation, the delivery area includes area identification 1, direction identification 2 and soft pad 3. There are four area identifications 1. The area identification 1 is L-shaped. The four area identifications 1 are distributed in a rectangular shape. The direction identification 2 is connected to the outer side of the upper left area identification 1. The soft pad 3 is located between the four area identifications 1. The area identification 1 and the direction identification 2 are used to determine the delivery area and delivery direction. The soft pad 3 prevents the goods from being damaged.

[0032] In the case implementation, the recognition module is used to identify the delivery area. The four area identifiers 1 are used for the identified delivery area. The recognition module first identifies the four area identifiers 1 to determine the delivery area. The orientation identifier 2 is used for the identified delivery placement order. The recognition module then identifies the orientation identifier 2 to determine the delivery placement position. The delivery placement order is from left to right and from top to bottom, so that the area utilization rate of the delivery area is high.

[0033] In the case implementation, the status of the express station database and the status of the drone database are synchronized. The sequence of the express station database and the sequence of the drone database are arranged from small to large. The status of the express station database is that the address and cargo information of the data to be delivered are imported into the drone database in order from small to large, and the drone number is linked to the corresponding sequence of the express station database.

[0034] When implementing, follow these steps:

[0035] 1) First store the address, goods and phone number in the courier station database;

[0036] 2) Then the map module arranges the correspondence between the address, goods, telephone number and sequence of the courier station database according to the rules of delivery order and route, and the sequence of the courier station database is arranged from small to large;

[0037] 3) Import the address and cargo information of the data in the courier station database that is in the state of pending delivery into the drone database. The initial state of the sequence in the drone database is all pending delivery, and the drone number is associated with the corresponding sequence in the courier station database;

[0038] 4) The mobile control module controls the drone to depart from the express station and fly to the designated address in the order of the sequence of drone database status to be delivered from the smallest to the largest;

[0039] 5) After flying to the designated address, the recognition module identifies the area mark and direction mark to determine the delivery area;

[0040] 6) The mobile control module controls the drone to move to the designated location of the delivery area and then gradually descend in altitude. The delivery locations are placed from left to right and from top to bottom;

[0041] 7) When the lower surface of the goods fits the cushion, the pressure of the goods on the sensor is reduced, so the sensor detects that the weight has become lighter, and the delivery module delivers the goods corresponding to the address;

[0042] 8) The status of the sequence in the drone database is changed to delivered, and the data in the courier station database is synchronized;

[0043] 9) The courier station database sends a message to the phone number of the sequence, prompting that the delivery has arrived;

[0044] 10) If there is still a status to be delivered, loop 5-9. If the status of the drone database is all delivered, the mobile control module controls the drone to fly back to the express station and wait, and clears the data in the drone database.

[0045] In summary, in the safe delivery system for drones, a sequence, address, goods, telephone number, drone number, drone location and status are a complete express delivery information, which is easy to record, store and find. The drone delivers according to the address. After the delivery of a goods to an address is completed, the status of the sequence is changed to delivered. The status of the express station database is synchronized with the status of the drone database. The map module arranges the correspondence between the address, goods, telephone number and sequence of the express station database according to the rules, so that the delivery speed is fast.

[0046] In addition, the mobile control module is used to control the direction and height of the drone. The sensor detects that the weight has become lighter, so the delivery module can deliver the goods corresponding to the address. The area identifier 1 and the direction identifier 2 are used to determine the delivery area and delivery direction. The soft pad 3 makes the goods less likely to be damaged, solving the inconvenience and unsafe problems.
