[0027] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] See Figure 1The aircraft provided in one embodiment of the present application includes an aircraft body 20 and an emergency material throwing device 10. The emergency material throwing device 10 is provided on the aircraft body 20. The aircraft body 20 may be a drone.

[0029] It should be noted that emergency supplies include aquatic lifesaving equipment, emergency communications supplies, and emergency medical supplies. Aquatic lifesaving equipment includes life jackets that automatically inflate after falling into the water. Emergency communications supplies include emergency satellite communication terminals, which utilize high-performance antenna technology and enable one-touch dialing of Tiantong satellite phones. Emergency medical supplies include hemostatic kits and thermal blankets.

[0030] During a rescue operation, emergency supplies are placed on the emergency supply delivery device 10. The aircraft 20 then transports the device 10 above the water, where it drops the supplies onto the water. By equipping the aircraft 20 with the device 10, the aircraft 20 achieves high-precision positioning and autonomous flight control, enabling safe and accurate airdrops of emergency supplies in complex environments. This shortens the delivery time and improves emergency response speed and rescue efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The emergency material throwing device 10 includes a cargo compartment 11 and a protective shell 12. The cargo compartment 11 is provided with a receiving chamber 111 and a throwing port 112, and the receiving chamber 111 is connected to the throwing port 112. Optionally, the throwing port 112 is provided at the bottom of the cargo compartment 11. The protective shell 12 is provided in the receiving chamber 111 and is used to accommodate emergency materials.

[0032] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cargo compartment 11 is further provided with a first connecting member 113, and the protective shell 12 is provided with a second connecting member 121. The first connecting member 113 and the second connecting member 121 are detachably connected. When the first connecting member 113 and the second connecting member 121 are separated, the protective shell 12 can be separated from the cargo compartment 11 and thrown out through the throwing port 112.

[0033] During a rescue, emergency supplies are placed inside protective shell 12, which stores and protects them. The first connector 113 is then connected to the second connector 121, placing protective shell 12 inside cargo compartment 11. The aircraft body 20 then transports the emergency supply delivery device 10 above the water surface. The connection between the first connector 113 and the second connector 121 is then released, and protective shell 12, under its own weight, is released from delivery port 112 and lands on the water, releasing the emergency supplies.

[0034] In one embodiment, the protective shell 12 has a waterproof layer. In this way, the protective shell 12 can protect the emergency supplies, prevent water from entering the emergency supplies, avoid the emergency supplies from being damaged, and ensure that the emergency supplies can be used normally.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The emergency material throwing device 10 further includes an elastic member 13. The elastic member 13 is disposed within the accommodating chamber 111. One end of the elastic member 13 is connected to the cargo compartment 11, and the other end of the elastic member 13 is connected to the protective shell 12. Specifically, the elastic member 13 is connected to the top of the cargo compartment 11. The protective shell 12 is connected to the cargo compartment 11 via the elastic member 13. Thus, during flight, the elastic member 13 can suppress the shaking of the protective shell 12, prevent the protective shell 12 from colliding with the cargo compartment 11, and ensure the stability of the suspension of the protective shell 12.

[0036] Optionally, the elastic member 13 is a spring, a rubber member, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0037] Furthermore, when the first connector 113 is connected to the second connector 121, the elastic member 13 is in a compressed state. It is understandable that when the first connector 113 is connected to the second connector 121, the elastic member 13 is forced to be compressed, and the elastic member 13 stores elastic potential energy. After the first connector 113 is disconnected from the second connector 121, the compressed elastic member 13 rebounds instantly, actively pushing the protective shell 12 downward, so that the protective shell 12 is thrown out through the throwing port 112. In this way, the elastic member 13 can give the protective shell 12 an initial downward velocity, reduce the free fall time, reduce lateral wind deviation, and at the same time avoid the impact caused by rigid release. In this way, the elastic member 13 realizes the accurate, rapid and low-impact separation of emergency supplies by first storing energy and then releasing energy.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , there are at least two elastic members 13, and at least two elastic members 13 are both arranged in the accommodating cavity 111. At least two elastic members 13 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the first connecting member 113. When the first connecting member 113 is connected to the second connecting member 121, the elastic members 13 on both sides are in a compressed state, so that the protective shell 12 is always centered, avoiding collision between the protective shell 12 and the cargo compartment 11. When the first connecting member 113 and the second connecting member 121 are disconnected, all the elastic members 13 rebound instantly at the same time and apply force to the protective shell 12, so that the protective shell 12 pops up vertically downward, avoiding the protective shell 12 from rotating or tipping over, and improving the accuracy of throwing. If one of the elastic members 13 fails, the remaining elastic members 13 can still push the protective shell 12 to ensure that emergency supplies can be thrown out smoothly.

[0039] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2Two elastic members 13 are provided, and the two elastic members 13 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the first connecting member 113. One end of the two elastic members 13 is connected to the top of the cargo compartment 11, and the other end of the two elastic members 13 is connected to the protective shell 12.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first connecting member 113 is provided with a first hook portion, and the second connecting member 121 is provided with a second hook portion, and the first hook portion and the second hook portion are engaged with each other. In this way, the protective shell 12 can be securely attached to the cargo compartment 11 under the cooperation of the first hook portion and the second hook portion, while improving the efficiency of installing the protective shell 12 in the cargo compartment 11.

[0041] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first connecting member 113 is rotatably mounted on the cargo compartment 11 via a rotating shaft. The first connecting member 113 can rotate relative to the second connecting member 121 to separate the first connecting member 113 from the second connecting member 121. After the aircraft body 20 transports the emergency material delivery device 10 above the water surface, the first connecting member 113 rotates relative to the second connecting member 121 to release the connection between the first connecting member 113 and the second connecting member 121.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The emergency material delivery device 10 further includes a reset member 15. The reset member 15 is connected to the first connecting member 113 and is used to reset the first connecting member 113. When an external force acts on the first connecting member 113, the first connecting member 113 rotates relative to the second connecting member 121, gradually deforming the reset member 15. When the external force is removed, the reset member 15 gradually recovers its deformation, causing the first connecting member 113 to rotate in the opposite direction, resetting the first connecting member 113.

[0043] Optionally, the reset member 15 is a spiral spring. The spiral spring is arranged on the rotating shaft, one end of the spiral spring is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the spiral spring is connected to the first connecting member 113.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the reset member 15 may also be a driving member, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0045] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The emergency material throwing device 10 further includes a rack 18, which is suspended below the aircraft body 20. The cargo compartment 11 is disposed on the rack 18. Thus, the rack 18 provides support for the cargo compartment 11.

[0046] Further, see Figure 1 The storage rack 18 is provided with a fixing assembly 181, which is connected to the landing gear 21 of the aircraft body 20. Specifically, the fixing assembly 181 includes a first fixing rod 1811 and a second fixing rod 1812. The first fixing rod 1811 and the second fixing rod 1812 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the storage rack 18. The first fixing rod 1811 is connected to the landing gear 21 on one side of the aircraft body 20, and the second fixing rod 1812 is connected to the landing gear 21 on the other side of the aircraft body 20. In this way, the storage rack 18 is suspended below the aircraft body 20 via the fixing assembly 181.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , at least part of the first connecting member 113 is located outside the cargo compartment 11. Specifically, the cargo compartment 11 is provided with a through hole communicating with the accommodating cavity 111, one end of the first connecting member 113 is located inside the cargo compartment 11, and the other end of the first connecting member 113 is located outside the cargo compartment 11.

[0048] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The emergency material throwing device 10 further includes a toggle member 171, which is used to toggle the first connecting member 113 to move, thereby separating the first connecting member 113 from the second connecting member 121. When the emergency material throwing device 10 is transported above the water surface, the toggle member 171 toggles the first connecting member 113, causing the first connecting member 113 to rotate relative to the second connecting member 121, thereby separating the first connecting member 113 from the second connecting member 121.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 There are multiple cargo compartments 11, which are arranged in a ring. In this way, each cargo compartment 11 can be used to place emergency supplies. In this way, the aircraft body 20 can carry a large amount of emergency supplies in a single flight, and can meet the needs of multiple points of delivery without returning to the base for resupply. At the same time, the multiple cargo compartments 11 are symmetrically distributed in a ring, ensuring the stability of the aircraft body 20.

[0050] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The emergency material throwing device 10 also includes a driving member 16 and a rotating frame 17. The driving member 16 is arranged at the bottom of the aircraft body 20. The rotating frame 17 is provided with a toggle member 171, which is connected to the driving member 16. The driving member 16 is used to drive the rotating frame 17 to rotate so that the toggle member 171 toggles the first connecting member 113 of the cargo compartment 11 one by one. When the emergency material throwing device 10 is transported above the water surface, the driving member 16 drives the rotating frame 17 to rotate, thereby driving the toggle member 171 to toggle the first connecting member 113 of one of the cargo compartments 11, so that the emergency materials in the cargo compartment 11 are thrown onto the water. Then, the driving member 16 drives the rotating frame 17 to rotate again, thereby driving the toggle member 171 to toggle the first connecting member 113 of the next cargo compartment 11, so that the emergency materials in the next cargo compartment 11 are thrown onto the water. In this cycle, all the emergency materials in the cargo compartments 11 can be thrown onto the water. In this way, the rotating frame 17 only needs to rotate at a small angle to move the next loading compartment 11, which is beneficial to shortening the delivery interval of emergency supplies and improving the delivery efficiency of emergency supplies.
