[0030] Refer to Figures 1-7As shown in the figure, there is a new type of convenient drone catapult. In the middle of the inner side wall of the box body 10 near the second channel along the length direction of the box body 10, a first partition plate 12 is fixedly connected. On the two inner side walls of the box body 10 parallel to the first partition plate 12, reinforcing plates 13 are fixedly connected. The two reinforcing plates 13 and the first partition plate 12 are in contact with the same second partition plate 16 on the side wall of the box body 10 away from the second channel. The length direction of the second partition plate 16 is consistent with the width direction of the box body 10.

[0031] Refer to Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, there is a new type of convenient drone catapult. The catapult mechanism 20 includes a support plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the side wall of the second partition plate 16 away from the first partition plate 12. On both sides of the top of the support plate, steering gears 21 are installed. The output ends of the steering gears 21 are arranged towards the direction of the first partition plate 12. The output ends of the steering gears 21 are fixedly connected with gears 26. The top of the gear 26 is meshed with a first rack plate 22, and the bottom of the gear 26 is meshed with a first baffle 23.

When the second baffle 25 slides inwards and abuts against the first partition plate 12, the second baffle 25 can block the second channel. The catapult mechanism 20 realizes the alternating occlusion of the first baffle 23 and the second baffle 25 to the second channel to realize the item delivery of different layers.

[0033] Refer toFigures 1-7 As shown in the figure, there is a new type of convenient drone throwing device. On the side walls of the two reinforcing plates 13 close to each other, there are longitudinal second rotation grooves. At the center of the inner side wall of the second rotation groove, a horizontal first rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected. On the outer arc wall of the first rotating shaft 15, a buffer plate 14 is fixedly connected. The bottom end of the side wall of the buffer plate 14 close to the first partition plate 12 is an arc surface, and the top end of the side wall of the buffer plate 14 close to the first partition plate 12 is a plane and flush with the surface of the reinforcing plate 13. A torsion spring is provided at the connection between the first rotating shaft 15 and the reinforcing plate 13. When the buffer plate 14 rotates towards the first partition plate 12, the top of the buffer plate 14 is a horizontal plane. When throwing, the first item is thrown out, and the buffer plate 14 returns to the vertical state. Then, the second item falls and presses on the bottom of the buffer plate 14 to drive the buffer plate 14 to rotate. At this time, the bottom end of the side wall of the buffer plate 14 away from the first partition plate 12 abuts against the inner side wall of the second rotation groove, and the top end of the side wall of the buffer plate 14 away from the first partition plate 12 is in a horizontal posture, and can catch the third item falling from above.

[0034] Refer to Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, there is a new type of convenient drone throwing device. The box body 10, the mounting bracket 11, the first partition plate 12, the reinforcing plates 13, and the second partition plate 16 are all made of balsa wood, and the joints are all connected by balsa wood splicing and adhesion technology. A protective paint layer is provided on the outer surface of the box body 10. The balsa wood material and the splicing and adhesion technology can reduce the self-weight while ensuring the overall strength of the device, and reduce the load of the drone during flight.

[0035] Refer to Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, there is a new type of convenient drone throwing device. The adjusting mechanism 30 is located inside the mounting bracket 11, and both second channels are located between the adjusting mechanisms 30 on both sides of the mounting bracket 11. A non-slip coating is provided on the surface of the part of the worm 35 extending outside the mounting bracket 11, and the adjusting mechanism 30 does not contact the second channels.

[0036] Refer to Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, there is a new type of convenient drone throwing device. The first partition plate 12 and the two reinforcing plates 13 have the same length but different thicknesses. Two through holes are provided on the inner side wall of the box body 10 close to the second partition plate 16, and the two through holes correspond to the two servos 21 one by one. The through holes are used to place the lines of the servos 21, and are used to place the control lines and power lines of the servos 21, which is convenient for wiring.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] In the initial state, the second baffle 25 blocks the second channel. At this time, the item to be dropped is placed in the first channel of the box body 10 from the second channel. Subsequently, the distance between the two mounting parts 33 is adjusted by rotating the worm 35 and it is installed at the bottom of the drone. At the same time, the circuit of the servo 21 is led out from the through hole and connected to the drone. When it is about to drop, the servo 21 starts to drive the gear 26 to rotate, so that the second baffle 25 moves outwards from the second channel. At this time, the item at the bottom layer is dropped. At the same time, the first baffle 23 moves inwards to block the second channel. After the first item is dropped, the second item falls, and then the first baffle 23 intercepts it. Similarly, the servo 21 reverses to reload. The second item falls and the impact of gravity on the drone is reduced under the action of the buffer plate 14. At this time, the third item lands on the plane at the top of the buffer plate 14.
