Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aircraft delivery technology, specifically to a micro rotary-wing drone delivery system with automatic home storage and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] As a landmark industrial chain of new productive forces, the low-altitude economy plays a vital role in promoting high-quality development of the national economy. Quadcopter drones have been widely used in production and daily life fields such as fixed-point deployment, fire monitoring, auxiliary fire fighting in high-rise buildings, and emergency medical delivery. Among them, the implementation of drone delivery scenarios is accelerating. For example, Meituan drones are conducting nighttime delivery services in specific parks in Shenzhen, and Walmart supermarkets are providing drone delivery services to villas with open spaces in pilot areas in the United States. However, the existing drone delivery model has not yet achieved direct delivery to residents or offices in buildings. The core bottleneck is that existing buildings and office buildings did not consider the needs of drone delivery during the construction phase, did not reserve docking interfaces, and lack suitable automatic delivery and receiving devices.
[0003] To expand the application scenarios of quadcopter drones delivering goods to residents or offices, the receiving device must adhere to the core principles of economy, practicality, reliability, and aesthetics, and meet the following key conditions: First, it must be easy to install, with minimal damage to the existing building structure; second, it must be safe to deploy, with a minimum distance of 1 meter between the receiving device and the wall to prevent the drone's wings from touching the wall surface; third, it must be compact and aesthetically pleasing, without affecting the overall appearance of the building or the city; fourth, it must be economical and durable, possessing a low-cost advantage to achieve large-scale promotion; and fifth, it must have accurate positioning and reliable reception, effectively preventing goods from falling from heights.
[0004] Current existing technologies for drone delivery receiving devices have many shortcomings and are difficult to meet practical application needs. For example, patent document WO2021055403A1 uses a multi-section structure, which is still quite large in its folded state, resembling a cylindrical object and is unsightly. Furthermore, its installation on the window frame is inconvenient and requires custom customization, fundamentally different from the umbrella rib structure of this invention. The technical solution disclosed in patent document CN115484850A is not suitable for installation on windows in high-rise buildings, lacks storage functionality, and limits the cargo delivery direction to top-down, thus restricting its applicability. While the technical solution in patent document CN223396380U is applicable to windows in high-rise buildings, it requires openings in the building's exterior wall, resulting in significant modifications to existing buildings, high operating costs, and hindering the widespread adoption and large-scale promotion of drone delivery. Additionally, due to the lack of a diagonal bracing structure, the cargo compartment and telescopic mechanism are prone to deformation after use due to insufficient support. The aforementioned technical deficiencies mean that existing drone receiving devices cannot meet the delivery needs of building residents and offices, thus hindering the further expansion of low-altitude economic delivery scenarios.
[0005] Existing drone delivery receivers either require significant modifications to existing buildings, damaging the original structure, are bulky and have an unpleasant appearance that affects the urban landscape, have unreliable positioning that could lead to the risk of goods falling from heights, or are too costly to be widely adopted. They cannot simultaneously meet the application principles of "economical, practical, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing," thus preventing drone delivery from being extended to residential and office settings. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes the following technical solution:

A first flexible rib is provided between the first rigid support rods in adjacent pairs, and a second flexible rib is provided between the second rigid support rods in adjacent pairs. The second rigid support rod in the last pair is fixedly connected to the receiving box.
[0015] In one possible implementation, an elastic link structure is provided between the second rigid support rod in the last rigid support rod pair of the umbrella rib structure and the receiving box to prevent the non-horizontal movement of the end of the rigid support rod from causing hard contact with the receiving box during the extension and contraction of this structure.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the control system includes a stepper motor motion control system and a positioning and receiving control system. The stepper motor motion control system is used to control the forward and reverse rotation of the stepper motor.

[0048] Corresponding to the above embodiment of the automatic storage system for home delivery by a micro rotor drone, this application also provides an embodiment of a control method for the automatic storage system for home delivery by a micro rotor drone.
[0049] See Figure 8 The control method for the automatic home delivery and storage system of the micro rotary-wing drone in this embodiment includes:
[0050] S101, manually remotely controlled test flight to determine flight trajectory, bind customer address number with receiver box 2 three-dimensional coordinates and enter into background database, assemble goods according to customer needs, and set flight trajectory and target coordinates in background.
[0051] During system installation and debugging, the micro rotary-wing drone is first manually remotely piloted for a test flight from the shipping point to the receiving point to determine the flight path. The customer's address is then linked to the latitude, longitude, and altitude coordinates of the receiving box 2's positioning point and entered into the micro rotary-wing drone's backend control system database. The drone is then loaded with cargo according to the customer's requirements. Note that cargo exceeding 40cm in length, width, and height must not be loaded and must be delivered manually.
[0052] S102, the micro rotary-wing UAV takes off according to the set trajectory, hovers after arriving at the preset range of the receiver box, sends an arrival command, wakes up the Beidou navigation and positioning chip in receiver box 2 and confirms the response.
[0053] The flight trajectory and target address (the three-dimensional coordinates of latitude, longitude, and altitude of the customer receiving box 2's positioning point) are set in the aircraft's back-end control system. When the aircraft reaches within 5 meters of the customer's receiving box, it hovers and sends a "goods arrived" command. This wakes up the Beidou navigation and positioning chip in the customer receiving box 2, and the aircraft receives a "received" response command from the chip.
[0054] S103, the receiving box extends and reaches its position. The Beidou navigation and positioning system aligns the cargo vertically with the center of the receiving box and calibrates it. The micro-rotor drone pulls down the delivery rope to deliver the cargo. The receiving box confirms receipt of the cargo through a piezoelectric sensor and sends back instructions. The aircraft then retracts the delivery rope.
[0055] The receiving box 2 extends out of the storage box and into position. Using BeiDou navigation and positioning, the center of the aircraft cargo is aligned vertically with the center of receiving box 2. UWB positioning technology is then used for recalibration to ensure accurate positioning. (See also...) Figure 9 The aircraft releases cargo by pulling down the release rope 30. The receiving box 2 receives the cargo through a piezoelectric sensor and sends a "cargo received" command to the aircraft. The aircraft then disconnects and retracts the release rope 30.
[0056] S104, the receiver box retracts and reports that reception is complete, the aircraft disconnects the side safety rope and returns to base.
[0057] The storage box retracts receiver 2 into its compartment, securing it securely. A "reception complete" command is sent to the drone. Further steps include... Figure 9 As shown, the aircraft disconnects the side safety rope 31, and the safety rope 31 exits from the gap between the upper edge of the outer side of the receiving box 2 and the upper panel of the storage box and returns to base.
[0058] S105: The customer picks up the goods and empties the receiving box. They then confirm receipt and that the receiving box is empty via a mobile app, completing the process for future use.
[0059] The customer collects the goods and empties receiving box 2; they then confirm "goods received" and "receiving box 2 emptied" via a mobile app to prepare for the next delivery.
[0060] In this application embodiment, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent the existence of A alone, the simultaneous existence of A and B, or the existence of B alone. A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" and similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, and c can represent: a, b, c, ab, ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.
