Furthermore, well-known functions or constructions may not be described in detail where such detail would obscure this disclosure. Example

[0038] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a cargo support for a drone, including a head 10, a tail 20, and multiple shelves 30.

[0039] Specifically, a rotating connector 11 is provided between the head 10 and its adjacent shelf 30; a first electric flipping device 40 is provided between the tail 20 and its adjacent shelf 30; and a second electric flipping device 50 is provided between adjacent shelves 30.

[0041] Specifically, both the first electric tilting device 40 and the second electric tilting device 50 are used to tilt the shelf 30.

[0042] For example, the first electric flip device 40 and the second electric flip device 50 can be connected to the flight controller of the UAV, so that the first electric flip device 40 and the second electric flip device 50 can be controlled by the flight controller.

[0043] Specifically, a movable rod 31 is provided on the shelf 30, and both ends of the movable rod 31 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the shelf 30. A first driving device 32 is provided on the shelf 30, which is used to drive the movable rod 31 to move horizontally.

[0044] Specifically, the shelf 30 has a storage compartment 33, and an intercepting net 34 is provided between the movable rod 31 and the inner wall of the shelf 30. One end of the intercepting net 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shelf 30, and the other end of the intercepting net 34 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 31. The intercepting net 34 is used to intercept the goods in the storage compartment 33.

[0045] This embodiment, by configuring multiple shelves 30 and cooperating with the first electric flipping device 40 and the second electric flipping device 50 to control the multiple shelves 30, can realize the delivery of goods to multiple locations after a single loading, which has good flexibility and can effectively improve the delivery efficiency of drones.

[0046] In this embodiment, a reinforcing rod 80 is provided between the first connecting frame 60 and the second connecting frame 70. The two ends of the reinforcing rod 80 are fixedly connected to the first connecting frame 60 and the second connecting frame 70, respectively.

[0047] By incorporating reinforcing bars 80, the overall strength can be effectively improved, resulting in better load-bearing capacity and reducing the impact on the sides of the shelving 30.

[0048] In this embodiment, both the first connecting frame 60 and the second connecting frame 70 are provided with winglets 90; both the first connecting frame 60 and the second connecting frame 70 are fixedly connected to their respective winglets 90; the head 10 is teardrop-shaped. By providing winglets 90, the overall aerodynamic performance can be improved, which is beneficial to the flight of the UAV.

[0049] For example, wing 90 is a lifting wing.

[0050] In this embodiment, the central axes of the head 10, tail seat 20, shelf 30, first electric flipping device 40, second electric flipping device 50 and rotating connector 11 coincide.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first driving device 32 is an electric telescopic rod; the side of the shelf 30 is provided with a perforation (not shown), the output end of the electric telescopic rod is inserted into the storage compartment 33 through the perforation, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the movable rod 31; the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the shelf 30.

[0052] The electric telescopic pole can drive the movable pole 31 to move horizontally, and the horizontal movement of the movable pole 31 can drive the interception net 34 to move, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the storage compartment.

[0053] In this embodiment, a counterweight 81 is provided on the reinforcing rod 80. A second driving device 61 and a third driving device 71 are respectively provided on the first connecting frame 60 and the second connecting frame 70.

[0054] Specifically, the counterweight 81 is slidably connected to the reinforcing rod 80; the second driving device 61 and the third driving device 71 are used to drive the counterweight 81 to slide along the reinforcing rod 80, thereby adjusting the position of the counterweight 81 on the reinforcing rod 80.

[0055] By setting up a counterweight 81, the position of the counterweight can be adjusted using the second drive device 61 and the third drive device 71; in use, the counterweight 81 can adjust its position according to the weight of each shelf 30, which helps the drone maintain balance.

[0056] In this embodiment, the head 10, tailstock 20, and reinforcing rod 80 are all hollow. This hollow design effectively reduces weight and the burden on the drone.

[0057] In this embodiment, the counterweight 81 is elliptical in shape; due to the streamlined elliptical design of the counterweight 81, there is less resistance, which is beneficial to the flight of the UAV.

[0058] Specifically, the counterweight 81 has an assembly hole 82 in the middle, and a sliding bearing 83 is fixedly installed in the assembly hole 82. The counterweight 81 is slidably connected to the reinforcing rod 80 through the sliding bearing 83.

[0059] In this embodiment, a weight-adding component 84 is provided on the outer surface of the counterweight 81, and the weight-adding component 84 is detachably connected to the counterweight 81. The weight-adding component 84 is streamlined.

[0060] By incorporating weight-bearing components, the weight of these components can be adjusted according to the weight of the goods being transported, providing excellent flexibility.

[0061] In some embodiments, the cargo carrier for the drone also includes a control device (not shown) and a weight sensor (not shown), the weight sensor being disposed inside the storage compartment and used to detect the weight of the goods inside the storage compartment.

[0062] Specifically, the weight sensor, the second drive device 61, and the third drive device 71 are all electrically connected to the control device.

[0063] Specifically, the control device controls the second drive device 61 and the third drive device 71 to work based on the detection data of the weight sensor, which can automatically adjust the position of the counterweight 81 and maintain the balance of the drone.

[0064] For example, both the second drive device 61 and the third drive device 71 are electric retractors. A guide ring (not shown) is provided on the reinforcing rod 80. The guide ring is fixedly connected to the reinforcing rod 80. The pull rope of the electric retractor is guided through the guide ring and fixedly connected to the counterweight 81.
