Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cargo storage box, and more specifically, to a cargo storage box for drones used in high-altitude buildings. Background Technology

[0002] With the massive development of online shopping, the volume of express delivery services has also increased dramatically. Currently, the number of express deliveries in China has grown to the point where delivery personnel cannot deliver every package to the doorstep. This has led to the emergence of parcel storage stations. While these stations can temporarily store customers' packages, they cannot be used for takeout (mainly food) that needs to be delivered promptly. Furthermore, for some elderly people with mobility issues, going to these stations to pick up their packages can be a significant obstacle.

[0003] Currently, for takeout items (food, medicine, etc.) that require timely delivery, although delivery personnel deliver to the door, waiting for elevators in some high-rise buildings can take a long time, wasting manpower and time, which is not conducive to reducing labor costs.

[0004] Meanwhile, drone technology has also made significant progress and become increasingly sophisticated. In the future, drone delivery will become an emerging industry. Drones do not need to climb stairs and do not occupy public resources such as elevators. Especially for high-rise buildings in cities, this will save delivery personnel the time of waiting for elevators, which is conducive to timely delivery. In order to support drone delivery services for residents of high-rise buildings, this utility model provides a drone-based cargo storage box for high-rise buildings. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front view and right view of the UAV cargo storage box for high-altitude buildings of this utility model are given after it is fixed to the exterior wall. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The transverse and longitudinal sectional views are provided, showing that the cargo storage box consists of a box body 4 and triangular support frames 5. The box body 4 is installed on the exterior wall 1 on one side of the movable window 3 of the exterior window 2 of the high-rise building. The box body 4 is fixedly supported by the triangular support frames 5, which are fixed to the exterior wall 1 by expansion bolts. The box body 4 is fixed to the triangular support frames 5. To ensure the sturdiness of the box body 4, two triangular support frames 5 are used. The interior of the box body 4 is a cargo compartment 6 for temporarily storing express goods 20; the upper end of the box body 4 is an upper hatch 7, and the side of the box body 4 near the movable window 3 is a side hatch 8.

[0023] A pivot 10 is fixed to the inner end of the lower surface of the upper cargo door 7. The pivot 10 is horizontal. Two ear plates 11 are fixed to the inner wall of the housing 4. The ear plates 11 have through holes through which the pivot 10 passes. After the pivot 10 passes through the through holes in the ear plates 11, it can rotate. An electric push rod 9 is installed in the cargo compartment 6. The two ends of the electric push rod 9 are respectively hinged to the inner wall of the housing 4 and the lower surface of the upper cargo door 7. The upper end of the side cargo door 8 is fixed to the upper cargo door 7, or the upper cargo door 7 and the side cargo door 8 are integrated. The upper cargo door 7 and the side cargo door 8 can be made of lightweight and strong carbon fiber. When the electric push rod 9 extends, it can drive the upper cargo door 7 and the side cargo door 8 to flip upwards simultaneously, so that the upper end of the cargo compartment 6 and the side near the movable window 3 open, so that the drone can drop goods or the recipient can pick up the goods; when the electric push rod 9 retracts, the upper cargo door 7 and the side cargo door 8 close.

[0024] The bottom of the cargo compartment 6 is equipped with a side-sliding mechanism, which consists of a base plate 13, guide rails 14, sliders 15, racks 16, and a drive motor 17. The base plate 13 is horizontally positioned at the bottom of the cargo compartment 6, and the express cargo 20 placed in the cargo compartment 6 is placed on the base plate 13. There are two guide rails 14, which are fixed parallel to each other on the bottom wall of the container 4. A slider 15 that cooperates with the guide rails 14 is fixed on the lower surface of the base plate 13. Through the cooperation of the guide rails 14 and the slider 15, the base plate 13 can move along the length of the guide rails 14.

[0025] The drive motor 17 is fixed to the bottom wall of the housing 4 between the two guide rails 14. A rack 16 is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom plate 13, located between the two guide rails 14 and parallel to them. A gear 18 that meshes with the rack 16 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 17. Thus, when the side door 8 is open, the drive motor 17 drives the bottom plate 13 to move outward, pushing the express delivery goods 20 located on the bottom plate 13 to the position of the movable window 3 for the recipient to pick up the package.

[0026] Cargo compartment 6 houses the electrical circuitry, which consists of a controller and connected power supply module, wireless communication module, positioning module, and motor drive module. The power supply module is connected to 220V AC mains power, which, after conversion, powers the controller, wireless communication module, positioning module, motor drive module, electric push rod 9, and drive motor 17. The controller communicates with the recipient's remote control and drone via the wireless communication module. The positioning module is a GPS or BeiDou positioning module. After communicating with the corresponding cargo storage box, the drone compares its own positioning data with the data from the positioning module to accurately locate the cargo storage box to be delivered. The controller drives the electric push rod 9 and drive motor 17 via the drive module.

[0027] The upper surface of the upper hatch 7 shown has an encrypted QR code for drone scanning to open the hatch. The drone sends a command to open the cargo compartment by scanning the encrypted QR code on the upper hatch 7. To facilitate the recipient in opening the cargo compartment 6, a remote control can be installed, or a push-button switch can be installed in an easily accessible location on the compartment 4. To ensure that the cargo compartment 6 does not get wet in rainy weather, the outer edge of the upper hatch 7 shown has a downward-sloping rainproof fold 19. In addition, the upper hatch 7 can be designed as a guide slope with the inside higher than the outside to prevent rainwater from accumulating.

[0028] In use, the drone carrying the express delivery 20 flies to the top of the cargo storage box via positioning. It scans the encrypted QR code on the upper door 7 to issue an opening command. The circuitry drives the electric push rod 9 to extend, causing the upper door 7 and side door 8 to flip upwards and open. After the express delivery 20 is delivered, the upper door 7 and side door 8 are closed. When picking up the package, the recipient opens the movable window 3 and triggers the opening of the side door 8 via the remote control or the button on the box body 4. At this time, the drive motor 17 drives the bottom 13 to move outward, pushing out the express delivery 20. After picking up the package, the side door 8 is closed.
