Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of manned aircraft auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to a transportation and automatic loading and unloading platform, system and working method for manned aircraft. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, manned aircraft are increasingly being used in various fields. In the field of urban air traffic, manned aircraft are expected to become an important means to alleviate ground traffic congestion and achieve fast and efficient point-to-point travel; in emergency rescue, it can quickly reach remote areas or disaster sites, buying precious time for rescue work; in the tourism industry, manned aircraft can provide tourists with a unique aerial perspective and bring a new travel experience.
[0003] Given the stringent requirements of general manned aircraft for high load capacity, their size is often relatively large. Taking the common multi-rotor manned aircraft as an example, in order to carry passengers and necessary equipment, its fuselage size and rotor diameter are relatively large. When facing this type of manned aircraft, traditional transportation devices and equipment cannot achieve overall transportation at all, and can only disassemble the aircraft modularly or fold it to perform transportation operations. This mode of transportation will undoubtedly bring a significant disadvantage, that is, it takes a lot of time to assemble and prepare various work during operation. For example, in emergency rescue scenarios, every second is crucial, and long assembly preparations may cause the best rescue time to be missed; in the operation of urban air traffic, frequent and long preparations will also affect operational efficiency and service quality, which is far from meeting the needs of those fast operation scenarios that require extremely high response speed.
[0004] In order to effectively overcome the problem of manned aircraft transportation, Chinese patent document CN221272754U proposed an innovative design solution for vehicles and flying cars. The solution uses an advanced electric drive device to achieve automatic separation of the flying car and the transport device. This innovation greatly simplifies the transportation process and successfully eliminates the tedious work links that originally required manual handling. This automatic separation technology is based on precise sensors and intelligent control modules, which can accurately sense the connection status between the aircraft and the transport device, and start the electric drive device at the right time to achieve a smooth and safe separation process.
[0005] Although the above method solves the problem of automatic separation of the aircraft and the transport device to a certain extent, due to the large size of the manned aircraft itself, even if the arms are in a folded state, the operator still needs to get off the vehicle and manually unfold the arms before the aircraft can enter a normal operating state. This process not only increases the workload of the operator, but also makes the preliminary preparation time still long. In practical applications, especially in some commercial operation scenarios or emergency tasks with extremely high timeliness requirements, long preparation time will lead to delays, reduce the efficiency and competitiveness of the use of manned aircraft, and still It is difficult to fully meet the needs of rapid response operation scenarios. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more efficient and convenient solution to achieve the goal of rapid deployment and operation of manned aircraft. Summary of the invention
