[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a UAV powered pod, comprising:

[0039] The cabin body 1 has a storage space formed inside and a streamlined structure on the outside. The front and rear ends of the cabin body 1 are respectively a first end 10 and a second end 11. The streamlined design of the cabin body 1 conforms to aerodynamics, reduces air resistance, and thus improves flight efficiency.

[0040] The front pulling mechanism is provided on the first end 10 of the cabin body 1 , and generates a front pulling force to pull the cabin body 1 through the interaction between the front pulling mechanism and the air.

[0041] The rear thrust mechanism is provided on the second end 11 of the cabin 1, and generates a rear thrust on the cabin 1 through the configuration of the rear thrust mechanism and the air. The front pulling force and the rear thrust act on the cabin 1 at the same time to enable the cabin 1 to generate forward power.

[0042] The oil supply system is arranged in the cabin 1 and is used to supply oil to the front pulling mechanism and the rear pushing mechanism.

[0043] The heat dissipation mechanism is arranged in the cabin 1 and is used to dissipate heat for the forward pulling mechanism and the rearward pushing mechanism. The heat dissipation mechanism is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the oil supply system, which can balance the cabin 1 as a whole and effectively dissipate heat for the working parts inside the cabin 1, thereby improving flight safety.

[0044] In this embodiment, the forward pulling mechanism and the backward pushing mechanism are consistent, both including an engine 2 and a propeller 3. The engine 2 is built-in and fixed in the cabin 1, and the propeller 3 is rotatably arranged outside the first end 10 and the second end 11 of the cabin 1. The engine 2 and the propeller 3 are driven and connected. The propeller 3 at the first end 10 generates a forward pulling force, and the propeller 3 at the second end 11 generates a backward thrust, thereby driving the cabin 1 forward with great power. Among them, the engine 2 is a car engine 2, and the parts are directly selected and easy to obtain, and the layout of the engine 2 and the propeller 3 is simple, thereby reducing manufacturing and operating costs.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fuel supply system includes a fuel tank 4 and a fuel supply pipeline 5. The fuel tank 4 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the cabin 1. The fuel supply pipeline 5 is connected to the engine 2 to supply fuel to the engine 2. The fuel supply principles between the fuel tank 4, the fuel supply pipeline 5 and the engine 2 are all existing means and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0046] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a plurality of radiators 6, which are located in the cabin 1 and adjacent to the engine 2 to dissipate heat for the engine 2. The radiator 6 is a radiator 6 used in a traditional UAV, and the heat dissipation principle is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0047] In addition, a fin 12 is provided on the top of the cabin 1. The fin 12 has a streamlined structure and can also fully reduce the air resistance during flight.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] like Figure 1-8 ,In this embodiment, several sizes and types of multi-pod cargo UAVs are provided, including the UAV power pod 9 described in the above embodiment;

[0050] The UAV includes wings 7 , and the cabin 1 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the wings 7 via fins 12 .

[0051] Furthermore, at least two multiples of pods 9 can be fixed on the wings 7 and arranged symmetrically about the fuselage 8. Different numbers of pods 9 can be installed according to the mass of the cargo to form different power combinations. Different numbers of pods can be carried on small, medium and large cargo drones to form a series of small, standard and large cargo drones with different cargo capacities.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, the nose door 13 and the tail door 14 on the fuselage 8 can be opened at the same time. Inside the fuselage 8 is a large cargo hold 15 that runs through the front and back and can carry large-sized cargo.

[0054] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of this application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of this application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of this application.
