Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone throwing technology, and in particular to a drone-thrown item placement box. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, drone technology has made significant progress, finding widespread application not only in the military field but also demonstrating enormous potential in the civilian sector. Drones have seen substantial improvements in flight stability, payload capacity, endurance, and remote control capabilities, providing a solid foundation for the application of drone-based cargo drop boxes. With the increasing prevalence of drone technology, the demand for its use in logistics, emergency rescue, and environmental monitoring is constantly growing. Under different environmental conditions, drone-based cargo drop boxes need to carry different items. For example, during natural disasters, drones can quickly deliver relief supplies to affected areas; in remote areas, drones can deliver critical supplies such as medicine and food.

[0003] When drones need to perform drop operations, the ability of the drop container to open quickly and remain stable is crucial for accurate drops. However, existing drone drop devices have some design flaws in their drop containers. For example, patent document CN215155671U discloses "a drone drop device," which includes a drop container and an opening / closing assembly to place the items to be dropped inside, preventing them from being exposed to the outside environment before drop. However, this device's drop container lacks partitioning, making it prone to squeezing and shaking when multiple items are transported together, potentially causing damage. Furthermore, the opening angle of the drop container's door is small, resulting in slow item descent and hindering fast and accurate drops. After drop, the door remains free-moving, and wind can cause it to sway during the drone's return journey, affecting its normal return trip. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems of existing technologies, such as the tendency for multiple items in the drop box to squeeze and shake when transported together, the small opening angle of the drop box door hindering the rapid and accurate drop of items, and the door shaking after items are dropped, which affects the normal return of the drone, this utility model provides the following technical solution.

[0005] This utility model discloses a drone-dropped item placement box, comprising a box body, the upper part of which is provided with several connecting parts for connection to the drone, a support plate fixedly connected to the middle position of the lower part of the box body, and opening and closing doors with locking plates hinged to both sides of the support plate to cover the bottom of the box body. Locking components and boosting components are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the box body near the two locking plates. The locking components include a fixed plate fixedly connected to the box body and an electromagnetic lock fixedly connected to the fixed plate. The electromagnetic lock has a first connecting piece, and a second connecting piece electromagnetically connected to the first connecting piece is fixedly connected to the locking plate facing the electromagnetic lock. A rubber plate with several limiting grooves on both sides is fixedly connected to the support plate, and the opening and closing doors have several limiting posts matching the limiting grooves.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the booster component includes a telescopic sleeve fixedly connected to the fixed plate and a spring sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic sleeve. The end of the spring near the locking plate is fixedly connected to a booster block that elastically abuts against the locking plate.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the booster component includes a spring fixedly connected to the fixed plate, with one end of the spring elastically pressing against the locking plate.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the inner cavity of the box is provided with several parallel adjustment slots, and several movable partitions are slidably connected in the adjustment slots.

[0009] As a further technical solution, a screw is connected to the outside of the box, and the screw passes through the box and connects to a movable partition located in the adjustment groove.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the limiting post is a cylindrical structure to facilitate smooth insertion into the limiting groove.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The housing of this utility model is equipped with several adjustment slots and movable partitions, which can divide the internal space of the housing into different zones for storing different types of items, preventing multiple items from being squeezed together during transportation and ensuring the safety of the items during transportation. The support plate at the bottom of the housing has hinged doors on both sides. Locking and pushing components lock, open, and push the doors, allowing them to open quickly. Under the influence of the pushing components and gravity, the doors open to an angle of approximately 90 degrees, allowing items to fall rapidly, thus ensuring fast and accurate item delivery. After the doors open, the limiting post falls with the doors to the rubber plate and engages with the limiting groove on the rubber plate, ensuring that the doors are limited by the rubber plate after item delivery, maintaining a stable state. Therefore, the stable doors and housing will not shake, ensuring the normal return of the drone. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a drone-droppable item placement box, comprising a hollow box body 1. The box body 1 is made of lightweight, high-strength materials, such as carbon fiber or plastic, to reduce its weight while ensuring durability. The upper part of the box body 1 is provided with several connectors 101 for connection to the drone. The connectors 101 adopt existing structures, and their specific structures will not be described in detail. Before dropping, the box body 1 is securely installed on the drone via the multiple connectors 101 to prevent it from falling off during flight or dropping.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the lower middle position of the box body 1, and the support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the box body 1 by bolts. Opening doors 2 that cover the bottom of the box body 1 are hinged to both sides of the support plate 3. A locking plate 201 is provided on the side of the opening door 2 away from the support plate 3, extending to one side of the box body 1. Locking components 5 and pushing components 6 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the box body 1 near the two locking plates 201. The locking components 5 are used to connect the locking plates 201 to lock the opening doors 2 relative to the box body 1, so that the items are locked inside the box body 1 before throwing. The pushing components 6 are used to push the locking plates 201 downwards to increase the opening and closing speed of the opening doors 2, ensuring rapid and accurate throwing of the items.

[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the locking component 5 includes a fixing plate 501 fixedly connected to the housing 1 and an electromagnetic lock 502 fixedly connected to the fixing plate 501. The electromagnetic lock 502 may have its own power supply or be connected to the power supply of the drone. The electromagnetic lock 502 is provided with a first connecting piece 503. The locking plate 201 is fixedly connected to a second connecting piece 504 electromagnetically connected to the first connecting piece 503 in the direction of the electromagnetic lock 502. The second connecting piece 504 is fixedly connected to the locking plate 201. The electromagnetic lock 502 controls the opening and closing of the first connecting piece 503 and the second connecting piece 504, thereby locking or opening the door 2 relative to the housing 1.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the booster component 6 includes a telescopic sleeve 601 fixedly connected to the fixed plate 501 and a spring 602 sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic sleeve 601. One end of the spring 602 near the locking plate 201 is fixedly connected to a booster block 603 that elastically abuts against the locking plate 201. In this case, one end of the telescopic sleeve 601 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 501, and the other end is fixedly connected to the booster block 603. The spring 602 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic sleeve 601. Alternatively, the booster component 6 may only include the spring 602 fixedly connected to the fixed plate 501. One end of the spring 602 elastically abuts against the locking plate 201. When the locking plate 201 is locked relative to the electromagnetic lock 502, the spring 602 contracts. After the locking plate 201 is opened, the spring 602 generates a pushing force on the locking plate 201 under its elastic force, allowing the door 2 to open quickly.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a rubber plate 4 is fixedly connected to the support plate 3. Several limiting grooves 401 are provided on both sides of the rubber plate 4. The opening and closing door 2 is provided with several limiting posts 202 that match the limiting grooves 401. The limiting posts 202 are cylindrical to facilitate smooth insertion into the limiting grooves 401. Thus, after the two opening and closing doors 2 are opened, they quickly rotate relative to the support plate 3 and collide with the rubber plate 4. At this time, under the rotation of the opening and closing door 2 and the action of gravity, the limiting posts 202 move towards the rubber plate 4 and insert into the limiting grooves 401. Due to the elasticity of the rubber plate 4, the limiting posts 202 are confined within the limiting grooves 401. Therefore, after the drone throws the item, the opening and closing door is confined by the rubber plate 4, and the opening and closing door 2 is in a stable state. Thus, the stable opening and closing door 2 and the housing 1 will not shake, ensuring the normal return trip of the drone.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the inner cavity of the box 1 is provided with several parallelly distributed adjustment slots 102. Several movable partitions 7 are slidably connected within the adjustment slots 102. One movable partition 7 is shown in the figure. Before actually throwing items, multiple movable partitions 7 can be added or all movable partitions 7 can be removed, depending on the type of items, so as to make reasonable use of the space inside the box 1. Screws 8 are connected to the outside of the box 1. The screws 8 pass through the box 1 and connect to the movable partitions 7 located in the adjustment slots 102, thereby fixing the movable partitions 7 within the adjustment slots 102. Of course, considering rainy or snowy weather, the movable partitions 7 can also be fixed within the adjustment slots 102 by other connection methods such as adhesive. This utility model does not particularly limit this method.

[0026] The preferred embodiments and examples of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and examples. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
