[0033] The present application will be further described below in detail through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] In the description of this application: unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more. The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in this application are intended to distinguish the objects referred to and do not have any special meaning in terms of technical connotation (for example, they should not be understood as emphasizing the importance or order, etc.). Expressions such as "including", "comprising", "having", etc. also mean "not limited to" (certain units, components, materials, steps, etc.).

[0035] The terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. cited in this application are usually used to indicate the general relative position relationship for the convenience of intuitive understanding by referring to the drawings, and are not absolute limitations on the position relationship in the actual product.

[0036] An air logistics system, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3, including a delivery drone 1, a high pole body 2, a pole climbing vehicle 3, a driving mechanism and a delivery sorting temporary storage stack 4. The high pole body 2 can be a cylindrical pole body or a square pole, and the height can be set according to actual conditions. The driving mechanism is set between the pole climbing vehicle 3 and the high pole body 2, and is used to drive the pole climbing vehicle 3 to move up and down along the high pole body 2 to transport express delivery from a high place to a low place. The delivery drone 1 is used to deliver express delivery, and correspondingly, a courier receiving position 5 is set on the pole climbing vehicle 3, which is used for the delivery drone 1 to land and receive express delivery.

[0037] A courier positioning device 9 is also provided on one side of the express receiving position 5 on the pole climbing vehicle 3. The received express is adjusted by the express positioning device 9 according to the receiving and sorting principles, so that the express remains stable when the pole climbing vehicle 3 climbs or descends, making it convenient for the delivery sorting temporary storage stack 4 to receive and process the express.

[0038] In addition, a charging station 10 for charging the delivery drone 1 is provided at one end of the pole climbing vehicle 3 away from the high pole body 2 .

[0039] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a cable drum 6, a cable line 7 and a driving wheel 8. Two groups of driving wheels 8 are provided at one end of the pole climbing vehicle 3, respectively provided on opposite sides of the high pole body 2. The peripheral walls of the driving wheels 8 contact and clamp the high pole body 2. The rotating shafts of the two groups of driving wheels 8 are connected in rotation through rods, and the heights of the two groups of driving wheels 8 are different. In this embodiment, one group of driving wheels 8 on the inner side (close to the express receiving position 5) is slightly lower than the other group of driving wheels 8, so that the pole climbing vehicle 3 remains in a horizontal state. The driving wheels 8 use the overturning moment generated by the deadweight of the delivery drone 1, express delivery and the pole climbing vehicle 3 to press the high pole body 2.

[0040] The cable drum 6 is installed at the upper end of the high pole body 2 so that it is higher than the drive wheel 8. The cable drum 6 is connected to one set of drive wheels 8 through a cable 7. By rotating the cable drum 6, the drive wheels 8 are driven to rotate, and the friction force generated by the compression between the drive wheels 8 and the high pole body 2 is used to realize the up and down climbing of the pole climbing vehicle 3.

[0041] Furthermore, two sets of anti-rollover pre-tightening wheels 11 are provided at one end of the pole climbing vehicle 3 where the driving wheel 8 is provided. The two sets of anti-rollover pre-tightening wheels 11 are provided on opposite sides of the high pole body 2 and clamp the high pole body 2. The heights of the two sets of anti-rollover pre-tightening wheels 11 correspond to the heights of the two sets of driving wheels 8, respectively. A set of anti-rollover pre-tightening wheels 11 and the driving wheel 8 at the same height are connected by a pre-tightening spring 12. The pre-tightening spring 12 has a pre-tightening force that drives the anti-rollover pre-tightening wheel 11 and the driving wheel 8 to approach each other to press the high pole body 2. When the pole climbing vehicle 3 is unloaded, the anti-rollover pre-tightening wheel 11 and the pre-tightening spring 12 can press the driving wheel 8 onto the high pole body 2 to prevent insufficient friction of the driving wheel 8 due to excessively low pressure, which may cause the pole climbing vehicle 3 to slip or fall.

[0042] In addition to the form of using gravity to self-lock the driving wheel 8 to stabilize the pole climbing vehicle 3 in this embodiment, in other embodiments, other methods such as hanging flexible traction, pole internal pulley drive, etc. can also be used according to the characteristics of the use scenario.

[0043] In order to prevent the express delivery or malfunctioning delivery drone 1 from accidentally falling, an anti-falling net 13 is further provided on the upper portion of the high pole body 2. Correspondingly, a passage 14 for the pole climbing vehicle 3 to pass through is also reserved on the anti-falling net 13, so that the pole climbing vehicle 3 can pass through the passage 14 and climb to the upper portion of the high pole body 2. In this embodiment, one end of the anti-falling net 13 is connected to an upwardly bent rod, and the upper end of the rod is fixed to the high pole body 2 higher than the main body of the anti-falling net 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the anti-falling net 13.

[0044] Furthermore, a delivery unloading door 15 is provided on the pole-climbing vehicle 3 at a position corresponding to the delivery receiving station 5. A delivery sorting and temporary storage stack 4 is located on one side of the pole body 2 and is used to receive, store, and distribute packages from the delivery unloading door 15. Before the pole-climbing vehicle 3 receives a package from the delivery drone 1, the delivery unloading door 15 is closed. When the package needs to be transferred to the delivery sorting and temporary storage stack 4, the delivery unloading door 15 is opened to allow the package to fall out.

[0045] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 The distribution and sorting temporary storage stack 4 includes a temporary storage platform 16, a receiving and conveying platform 17, an output conveying platform 18, a first transport device, and a second transport device. The temporary storage platform 16 has multiple layers in the vertical direction. Conveyor rollers 19 are installed on the temporary storage platform 16, the receiving and conveying platform 17, and the output conveying platform 18, so that the express can be moved from the receiving and conveying platform 17 to the temporary storage platform 16, and then from the temporary storage platform 16 to the output conveying platform 18.

[0046] To improve delivery efficiency, multiple turntables 20 are installed on the temporary storage platform 16. The turntables 20 are rotatably connected to the temporary storage platform 16. Conveyor rollers 19 are installed on these turntables 20. By rotating the turntables 20, the conveying direction of the conveyor rollers 19 can be changed. Each temporary storage platform 16 can convey parcels in any two-dimensional direction, facilitating the order adjustment of the parcels on the temporary storage platform 16.

[0047] For ease of operation, a temporary control program for controlling the rotation of the turntable 20 is also provided on the temporary storage platform 16. Correspondingly, a package identification device 21 is provided on the upper portion of the high pole body 2. When the delivery drone 1 flies to the package receiving station 5 of the pole climbing vehicle 3, the package identification device 21 identifies the package number and transmits it to the system for processing.

[0048] The temporary storage control program uses idle time to adjust the rotation of the turntable 20 to change the conveying direction of the conveying roller 19 according to the subsequent delivery route and delivery sequence, based on the information in the express number, so that the express can be arranged on the temporary storage platform 16 according to the proper delivery sequence. After the delivery personnel or delivery unmanned vehicle arrives, they will take the express according to the delivery route and sequence, thereby optimizing the entire logistics process, saving time in finding the express, and improving delivery efficiency.

[0049] Among them, the first transport device is used to drive the receiving conveying platform 17 to move between the express unloading door 15 and any temporary storage platform 16, and the second transport device is used to drive the output conveying platform 18 to remove the express from any temporary storage platform 16.

[0050] Specifically, the first transport device includes a first lifting chain 22, a first lifting drive cylinder 23, a first slider 24 and a first guide rail 25. One end of the first lifting chain 22 is fixed, and the other end passes around the top of the first lifting drive cylinder 23 and is connected to the first slider 24. The first slider 24 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 25 and is connected to the receiving and conveying platform 17.

[0051] The second transport device includes a second lifting chain 26, a second lifting drive cylinder 27, a second slider 28 and a second guide rail 29. One end of the second lifting chain 26 is fixed, and the other end passes around the top of the second lifting drive cylinder 27 and is connected to the second slider 28. The second slider 28 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 29 and is connected to the output conveying platform 18.

[0052] In addition to the structure provided in this embodiment, the first transport device and the second transport device may also use other structures such as suspension flexible traction, scissors, screw, hydraulic direct drive, connecting rod mechanism, etc.

[0053] An unmanned vehicle delivery window 30 and a manual delivery window 31 are also provided around the temporary storage platform 16, and a dedicated sorting output layer is provided on the temporary storage platform 16 to facilitate manual and unmanned vehicle pickup.

[0054] Furthermore, the distribution and sorting temporary storage stack 4 also includes a manual delivery identification device 32 and an output express identification device 33. The manual delivery identification device 32 and the output express identification device 33 correspond to the positions of the manual delivery window 31 and the unmanned vehicle delivery window 30 respectively, and are responsible for identifying and verifying the system operation and correctly outputting the express.

[0055] In fact, in addition to the express delivery route described in this embodiment, this air logistics system can also operate in the reverse direction: an unmanned vehicle or a human operator transports the express delivery to the delivery sorting temporary storage stack 4, and then the original receiving and conveying platform 17 delivers the express delivery to the pole climbing vehicle 3. The pole climbing vehicle 3 transports the express delivery from a low position to a high position, and the delivery drone 1 then picks up the express delivery, completing the delivery of the express delivery.

[0056] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments that are not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
