Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of logistics and transportation, specifically to a drone delivery receiving device. Background Technology

[0002] With the low-altitude economy becoming a hot topic in the logistics and transportation industry, major companies have begun to develop their own drone delivery technologies. Drone delivery breaks through the limitations of ground transportation and terrain, significantly improving delivery efficiency.

[0003] Currently, drone delivery mainly involves transporting packages from dispatch centers to self-service parcel lockers in residential communities, where residents then retrieve them. While this reduces delivery time, residents still need to travel back and forth between their homes and the lockers. To further facilitate residents, some regions are promoting "four-fold" new-type housing, which integrates digitalization, intelligence, greening, and industrialization. One of its features is a large terrace, high ceilings, and a dedicated drone landing pad, allowing drones to deliver packages directly to residents' homes. However, for ordinary consumers, their homes often lack large terraces and high ceilings. Delivering drones directly to their homes could infringe on residents' privacy and pose safety risks. Therefore, how to install receiving devices on existing buildings for convenient package pickup is a pressing issue for the development of low-altitude logistics transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a drone delivery device that not only allows residents to conveniently receive packages delivered by drones but also protects their privacy, achieving a truly portable package pickup experience. The technical solution is as follows.

[0005] The drone receiving device is characterized by having a rectangular hole in the wall through which a fixed bracket is fixed. The outer end of the fixed bracket is connected to a movable bracket, which has at least two states: retracted and extended. When the movable bracket is extended, the fixed bracket and the movable bracket form an integral left and right sliding groove. The two sides of the receiving box are respectively embedded in the left and right sliding grooves, allowing the receiving box to slide in the grooves. The movable bracket switches between the retracted and extended states through the traction of a drive device. A landing plate is horizontally wrapped around the outer end of the movable bracket and fixed. The landing plate is equipped with a positioning device that works with the drone.

[0006] The slide rail includes a left slide rail and a right slide rail. A fixed section of the left slide rail is located on the left side of the top of the fixed bracket, and a movable section of the left slide rail is located on the left side of the movable bracket. A fixed section of the right slide rail is located on the right side of the top of the fixed bracket, and a movable section of the right slide rail is located on the right side of the movable bracket.

[0007] The slide is a U-shaped channel steel, with the left and right slides arranged symmetrically.

[0008] The receiving box is equipped with rollers on both sides, with the left and right rollers respectively placed in the left and right sliding grooves.

[0009] The fixed bracket is reinforced by diagonal bracing.

[0010] The fixed bracket and the movable bracket are hinged together.

[0011] The driving device is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The driving device includes a fixed end and an output end. The fixed end is fixed to the wall, and the output end is connected to the side of the movable bracket.

[0012] The positioning device is a magnet, used to engage with the metal feet of the drone. The magnet is an electromagnet.

[0013] A cabinet is installed inside the wall opening. The cabinet has compartments and doors. The compartments are convenient for residents to temporarily store packages, and the doors are used for concealment and aesthetic purposes.

[0014] The technical effects of this solution are as follows: 1. By modifying ordinary buildings, this device enables residents to receive drone deliveries at home, providing convenience and protecting their privacy as the receiving location is outside the wall; 2. This device is easy and inexpensive to modify, making it acceptable to most residents and facilitating its promotion and integration into the development trend of the low-altitude economy; 3. This device achieves switching between two states—deployment and retraction—through a drive mechanism. The deployed state facilitates drone parking, while the retracted state enhances the aesthetics of the wall and reduces safety hazards. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Example 1, Example 1, Participating in Appendix Figure 1-3The drone receiving device is characterized by having a rectangular hole in the wall 8, through which a fixed bracket 7 is fixed. The outer end of the fixed bracket is connected to a movable bracket 4, which has at least two states: retracted and extended. When the movable bracket is extended, the fixed bracket and the movable bracket form an integral left and right sliding groove 1. The two sides of the receiving box 3 are respectively embedded in the left and right sliding grooves, allowing the receiving box to slide in the grooves. The movable bracket switches between the retracted and extended states by the traction of the drive device 2. A stop plate 6 is horizontally wrapped around the outer end of the movable bracket and fixed. The stop plate is equipped with a positioning device 5 that works with the drone.

[0018] The slide rail includes a left slide rail and a right slide rail. A fixed section of the left slide rail is located on the left side of the top of the fixed bracket, and a movable section of the left slide rail is located on the left side of the movable bracket. A fixed section of the right slide rail is located on the right side of the top of the fixed bracket, and a movable section of the right slide rail is located on the right side of the movable bracket.

[0019] The slide is a U-shaped channel steel, with the left and right slides arranged symmetrically.

[0020] The receiving box is equipped with rollers on both sides, with the left and right rollers respectively placed in the left and right sliding grooves.

[0021] The fixed bracket is reinforced by diagonal bracing.

[0022] The fixed bracket and the movable bracket are hinged together.

[0023] The driving device is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The driving device includes a fixed end and an output end. The fixed end is fixed to the wall, and the output end is connected to the side of the movable bracket.

[0024] The positioning device is a magnet, used to engage with the metal feet of the drone. The magnet is an electromagnet.

[0025] A cabinet 9 is installed inside the wall opening. The cabinet has compartments and doors 10. The compartments are convenient for residents to temporarily store packages, and the doors are used to conceal items and improve the aesthetics.

[0026] The top and sides of the mounting bracket are covered with waterproof panels, and the outside of the mailbox is also covered with a waterproof panel. The waterproof panels on the top and sides of the mounting bracket form a canopy-like waterproof structure, preventing rainwater from entering the holes. The edges of the waterproof panels can be sealed with silicone sealant. The waterproof panel on the outside of the mailbox further prevents rainwater from entering the wall when the mailbox is folded up.

[0027] Further explanation of the technical effects of this technical solution: 1. The drive unit controls the switching between the extended and retracted states of this device. When the drive unit (hydraulic cylinder) extends, the movable bracket rotates around the hinge point until it is level with the fixed bracket, which is the extended state of the device (see attached). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in this state, the fixed section and the movable section of the slide groove are in a straight line, forming a complete and continuous slide groove that allows the receiving box to slide in the slide groove. In this state, the stop plate is also in the unfolded state, which can be used to park the drone. When the drive device (hydraulic cylinder) retracts, it drives the movable bracket to rotate upward around the hinge point until the end of the movable bracket touches the wall, which is the storage state.

[0028] In its deployed state, the drone can receive packages delivered by drone. The package holder moves to the outer end of the movable support, and the drone, using a positioning device, precisely docks on the landing platform and places the attached package into the box. Because the landing platform extends outwards in the deployed state, it provides ample space for the drone to adjust its flight path, preventing accidents such as collisions with walls.

[0029] In the folded state, the fixed and movable sections of the slide are folded together, locking the mailbox inside the wall. The outward extension distance of the bracket is greatly reduced, which on the one hand reduces the impact on visual space and line of sight, and reduces visual clutter; on the other hand, it reduces space occupation, improves safety, and avoids safety hazards caused by factors such as strong winds and falling objects from heights.

[0030] The mail box of this device can be moved in various ways. For example, a drive motor inside the mail box can be installed to rotate rollers, thus moving the mail box. Alternatively, a rope can be installed inside a slide rail, and the rotation of the pulley and the rope can be used to move the mail box. Even in the event of a drive failure, ear holes can be installed on the side of the mail box (the side facing the wall), and hooks can be installed at the end of a long rod to control the mail box by hooking the ear holes and pushing or pulling. The above solutions are only one of the feasible options among many. The specific method to be adopted will be selected based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] The size of the opening in this device determines the size of the mailbox, and the size of the mailbox determines the size of the package. Generally, this device is suitable for receiving small to medium-sized express packages that do not exceed the size of the mailbox.

[0032] This device can be directly installed on the walls of existing buildings without requiring large balconies or high ceilings, allowing ordinary buildings to be transformed. It makes it convenient for residents to receive packages delivered by drones while protecting their privacy, achieving truly portable package pickup and quickly integrating into the low-altitude economy to enjoy convenience.

[0033] Both the fixed and movable supports are made of U-shaped channel steel, which serves as both supports and slides. The structure is robust, easy to purchase, and inexpensive, with very low modification costs. Furthermore, the device has a very simple structure, is easy to maintain, is not easily damaged, and has a long service life, which further facilitates the promotion and use of the product.

[0034] In summary, the technical effects of this solution are as follows: 1. By modifying ordinary buildings, this device enables residents to receive drone deliveries at home, providing convenience and protecting their privacy as the reception method is external to the wall; 2. This device is easy to modify and has low modification costs, making it acceptable to most residents and conducive to promoting and integrating into the development trend of the low-altitude economy; 3. This device achieves switching between two states—deployment and retraction—through a drive mechanism. The deployed state facilitates drone parking, while the retracted state improves wall aesthetics and reduces safety hazards.
