[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "corresponding" may indicate a direct or indirect correspondence between two items, or an association relationship between the two items, or a relationship between indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, and the like.

[0037] Figure 1 The balcony drone hangar system architecture diagram involved in the embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 1As shown, specifically, the balcony hangar integrates communication modules such as digital maps to communicate with the drone, and this module is connected to the host through LAN and UART. The balcony hangar integrates a control host, which can report the current status to the background through the network. The balcony hangar is connected to the wired network or WIFI, 5G and other communication modules through the host, and is connected to the logistics background. The balcony hangar integrates an RTK module, which is connected to the host through UART to locate the drone. The balcony hangar apron is opened and closed by the RS485 motor controlled by the host.

[0038] The balcony drone hangar of this embodiment realizes the functions of automatic take-off, landing, material delivery, and opening and closing of the receiving bin of the drone by integrating communication modules such as digital maps, a control host, a communication module, an RTK module, and a helipad. It can automatically deliver materials in unmanned homes, meet the application scenario requirements of terminal logistics for delivering various materials to homes, and improve the efficiency of drone pickup in unmanned homes.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a drone pickup method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0040] In this embodiment, a drone pickup method is provided. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for picking up items by a drone according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is executed by a target drone, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0041] Step S201, when the target drone is at the logistics receiving point, it receives a pickup instruction; the pickup instruction is used to instruct to pick up the package at the target location.

[0042] The target drone is deployed at a logistics receiving point, such as a courier station, distribution center, etc., waiting to receive a pickup task. The pickup instruction comes from the logistics backend or the user terminal, and contains detailed information about the target location (such as address, longitude and latitude coordinates, etc.) and specific requirements for pickup. After receiving the pickup instruction, the target drone enters standby mode and prepares to perform the pickup task.

[0043] Step S202, flying to the target location along the target route according to the pickup instruction.

[0044] The target drone plans the optimal flight route based on the target location information in the pickup instruction, combined with the built-in map data and flight algorithm. According to the planned optimal flight route, the target drone autonomously flies to the designated area where the target location is located.

[0045] Step S203, when arriving at the designated area where the target location is located, sending a first instruction; the first instruction is used to instruct the balcony drone hangar to open the pickup cabin.

[0046] After the target drone arrives at the designated area, it sends a first instruction to the balcony drone hangar via wireless communication (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). The first instruction is used to instruct the balcony drone hangar to open the pickup cabin so that the drone can pick up the item.

[0047] Step S204, controlling the target UAV to dock at a designated location according to the target image data collected from the pickup cabin.

[0048] After the drone enters the pickup cabin, it uses the onboard camera to collect images of the interior of the pickup cabin. The collected image data is processed (such as QR code recognition, shape matching, etc.) to determine the designated parking position of the drone. The drone adjusts its posture and flight altitude based on the determined location information and docks at the designated location.

[0049] Step S205, in response to the second instruction, return to the logistics receiving point.

[0050] After receiving the second instruction, the drone responds to the instruction, flies autonomously to the logistics receiving point according to the preset return route, and completes the pickup task.

[0051] The drone pickup method provided in this example can autonomously perform the pickup task without human intervention, thereby improving the efficiency of pickup. Through image acquisition and processing technology, the drone can accurately determine the docking position to ensure the accuracy of the pickup operation.

[0052] In an optional implementation, the second instruction is used to indicate that the object mounting of the target UAV is completed.

[0053] The second command is the trigger signal for the drone to perform subsequent actions (such as return). Only after receiving a valid second command, the drone will perform the corresponding action.

[0054] Through the application of the second instruction, this implementation enables the drone to more accurately determine whether the pickup task is completed, reduces manual intervention, and improves the automation and efficiency of the pickup process.

[0055] In an optional implementation, the second instruction is generated after the balcony drone hangar completes the object mounting operation; or, the second instruction is triggered and generated after the user performs a specified operation on the terminal.

[0056] Optionally, the balcony drone hangar is equipped with an automatic mounting device. When the automatic mounting device completes the object mounting operation, the balcony drone hangar will automatically generate a second instruction. Alternatively, the user may want to manually intervene or confirm the pickup process. At this time, the user can perform a specified operation (such as clicking the "Confirm Pickup" button) through a terminal (such as a mobile phone APP, computer software, etc.), thereby triggering the generation of a second instruction.

[0057] The two ways of generating the second instruction in this embodiment make the pickup process more flexible. The balcony drone hangar automatically generates the second instruction, which is suitable for scenarios with a high degree of automation, while the user terminal triggers the second instruction, which is suitable for scenarios that require user confirmation or special processing.

[0058] In an optional implementation, the process of step S204 includes the following steps:

[0059] Step S2041, performing two-dimensional code recognition on the target image data.

[0060] Step S2042: if the target image data contains QR code data, the QR code data is parsed, and a designated position is determined based on the parsed data to control the target UAV to dock at the designated position.

[0061] When the QR code recognition algorithm successfully identifies the QR code in the image, the drone further analyzes the data in the QR code. The QR code data includes information such as coordinate points, area identification, relative position, etc., which are used to indicate the parking position of the drone. After the analysis is completed, the drone adjusts its posture and flight altitude based on this information and accurately parks at the specified location.

[0062] This implementation method introduces QR code recognition technology to determine the parking location of the drone, thereby improving the intelligence and accuracy of the pickup process.

[0063] In this embodiment, a drone pickup method is provided. Figure 3 is a flow chart of another drone pickup method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the method is executed by the balcony drone library, such as Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S301, when the first instruction is received, the pickup cabin is opened; a QR code is set on the pickup cabin; the QR code is used to indicate that the target drone is docked at a specified location.

[0065] The balcony drone hangar receives the first command from the target drone through wireless communication methods (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). After receiving the command, the balcony drone hangar automatically opens the pickup cabin and prepares for the drone to pick up the package. A QR code is set in a conspicuous position of the pickup cabin. The QR code contains information indicating that the target drone is docked at a specified location, such as coordinate points, area identifiers, or relative positions.

[0066] Step S302: When the target drone is detected to be returning, the pickup cabin is closed.

[0067] The balcony drone hangar detects that the target drone has completed the pickup mission and is ready to return through sensors or image recognition technology. After detecting that the drone has returned, the balcony drone hangar automatically closes the pickup cabin to ensure that the items in the pickup cabin are safely stored and prepare for the next pickup mission.

[0068] In the drone pickup method provided in this embodiment, the balcony drone hangar can automatically receive instructions and open the pickup cabin, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the efficiency of pickup. The location information contained in the QR code enables the drone to accurately dock at the specified location, improving the accuracy of pickup. The balcony drone hangar can automatically detect the docking and return of the drone, and close the pickup cabin at the appropriate time, ensuring the safe storage of objects in the pickup cabin.

[0069] In an optional implementation, an automatic mounting device is further provided in the balcony drone hangar, and the drone pickup method further includes:

[0070] When the target UAV is detected to be docked at the designated location, the automatic mounting device is controlled to mount the object to be mounted on the target UAV, and a second instruction is sent to the target UAV; the second instruction is used to instruct the target UAV to return.

[0071] The balcony drone hangar detects that the target drone has accurately docked at the designated location indicated by the QR code through sensors or image recognition technology. The balcony drone hangar is equipped with an automatic mounting device for automatically mounting the object to be mounted on the target drone. When the target drone is detected to be docked at the designated location, the automatic mounting device is activated to accurately mount the object to be mounted on the drone's mounting point. After the mounting is completed, the balcony drone hangar sends a second command to the target drone, instructing the drone to return.

[0072] This embodiment improves the automation and efficiency of the pickup process by introducing the automatic mounting device and the second instruction mechanism. In addition, the application of the automatic mounting device also reduces the risk of manual operation and improves the overall safety of the pickup process.

[0073] The specific process of the drone pickup method of the optional embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0074] This delivery process is uniformly operated in the logistics background. After receiving the command at the receiving point, the drone uses RTK positioning to follow the established route to the balcony pickup hangar. When the drone approaches the balcony hangar empty, a command is sent through the background to open the pickup warehouse. There is a QR code attached to the pickup warehouse apron. When the drone is docked above the balcony hangar, the drone camera algorithm is used to accurately locate the drone for precise landing. After the drone docks (or hovers), the background sends a command to collect the object, and the owner manually or automatically mounts the object on the drone. After the object is collected, the logistics background notifies the drone to leave and closes the pickup warehouse. After the pickup process is completed, the logistics background sends a text message to the owner.
