DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2A multifunctional modular quick-release delivery device for mounting on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a UAV connection unit 10, a rotary delivery module 20, a vertical delivery module 30, a horizontal delivery module 40, a hook module 50, and several quick-release assemblies 60. The quick-release assemblies 60 are mounted on the tops of the rotary delivery module 20, the vertical delivery module 30, the horizontal delivery module 40, and the hook module 50. The quick-release assemblies 60 detachably connect and assemble the UAV connection unit 10 with the rotary delivery module 20, the vertical delivery module 30, the horizontal delivery module 40, and the hook module 50.

[0025] See Figure 3 The drone connection unit 10 includes a bracket 11, a top connection platform 12, and multiple bottom connection platforms 13. The top connection platform 12 is formed at the top center of the bracket 11 and can be bolted to the drone, allowing the device to be loaded underneath the drone. Multiple bottom connection platforms 13 are formed at intervals on the bottom of the bracket 11. Each bottom connection platform 13 has a quick-release slot 131 formed on the bottom that mates with the quick-release assembly 60.

[0026] See Figure 4 The quick-release assembly 60 includes a connecting seat 61, a connecting section 62, and an inserting section 63. The four corners of the inserting section 63 are formed with fixing holes, and bolts can be passed through the fixing holes to fix it to the top of the rotary casting module 20, the vertical casting module 30, the horizontal casting module 40, or the hook module 50. The connecting section 62 is formed at the top of the connecting seat 61, and the inserting section 63 is formed at the top of the connecting section 62. The inserting section 63 and the quick-release slot 131 are both set to compatible shapes. In the figure, the inserting section 63 is set to a wedge shape. During installation, the inserting section 63 can be inserted into the quick-release slot 131 from the side to complete the assembly. The width of the connecting section 62 is less than the maximum width of the connecting seat 61, and the connecting section 62 can pass through the bottom of the quick-release slot 131.

[0027] See Figure 4 The rotary throwing module 20 includes a module casing 21, a rotary warehouse body 22 and a plurality of arc-shaped cover plates 24. A hollow cavity is formed in the middle of the module casing 21, and a notch is formed at the bottom of the cavity. The rotary warehouse body 22 is rotatably arranged in the cavity by a motor, and a plurality of placement bins 23 are formed on the outside of the rotary warehouse body 22 and are distributed along its radial intervals. A plurality of arc-shaped cover plates 24 are each arranged on the outside of a placement bin 23, and the arc-shaped cover plates 24 are rotatably connected to the rotary warehouse body 22, so that after the rotary warehouse body 22 rotates, the arc-shaped cover plates 24 facing the notch of the cavity of the module casing 21 can be deflected downward by gravity and opened, so that the projectiles in the placement bin 23 at the corresponding position can be thrown downward.

[0028] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The vertical throwing module 30 includes a top base 31, at least one cylindrical silo 32, and a number of bottom covers 33 equal to the number of cylindrical silo 32. The at least one cylindrical silo 32 is formed at the bottom of the top base 31, and a cavity with an opening at the bottom is formed in the cylindrical silo 32. Each bottom cover 33 is rotatably disposed below the opening of the cylindrical silo 32 by a motor. When the bottom cover 33 is driven downward and opened, the projectile in the cavity of the corresponding cylindrical silo 32 can be thrown downward.

[0029] See Figure 7 The hook module 50 includes a base 51, a hook slot 52, an insertion shaft 54, a rocker arm 55, and a flywheel. An inverted "U"-shaped hook slot 52 is formed at the bottom of the base 51, and a socket 53 is formed in front of the hook slot 52, which passes through the base 51 and communicates with the hook slot 52. The flywheel is rotatably arranged in the base 51 by a motor. The outer edge of the flywheel is rotatably connected to the top of the rocker arm 55, and the bottom end of the rocker arm 55 is rotatably connected to the adjacent end of the insertion shaft 54. The insertion shaft 54 slides through the socket 53. The rotation of the flywheel can drive the rocker arm 55 to swing, and when the rocker arm 55 deflects, it can drive the insertion shaft 54 to translate along the socket 53 to adjust its position. When the insertion shaft 54 moves backward out of the hook slot 52, the object to be hung can be placed in the hook slot 52; when the insertion shaft 54 is inserted forward into the hook slot 52, the object placed in the hook slot 52 can be supported and hung. An avoidance groove is also formed at the bottom of the base 51. The lower end of the rocker arm 55 passes through the avoidance groove and can move in the avoidance groove to avoid interference with the base 51 when the rocker arm 55 deflects and swings.

[0030] In this embodiment, the number of the rotary casting modules 20, vertical casting modules 30, horizontal delivery modules 40, and hook modules 50 can be arbitrarily combined according to the usage requirements and adapted to the number of bottom connecting platforms 13. In addition, the positions of the rotary casting modules 20, vertical casting modules 30, horizontal delivery modules 40, and hook modules 50 can be arbitrarily adjusted by adjusting the position of the bottom connecting platform 13.

[0031] The system of the present invention may further include a control system for controlling the operation of the motors to automatically operate the different modules. It should be understood that the control system is not particularly limited and can be implemented by control techniques in the prior art, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0032] In all the schemes mentioned above, the connection between the two components can be selected according to actual conditions by welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection or other well-known connection methods, which will not be listed here one by one. In the above, all fixed connections are preferably welded. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it can be understood by ordinary technicians in this field that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
