Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drone deployment technology, specifically relating to a novel logistics drone deployment device. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and / or their own program control devices. Currently, UAV technology is relatively mature and has been widely used in civilian applications, showing promise for use in logistics and transportation. In recent years, smart logistics systems, a key application of artificial intelligence, have accelerated their development, and UAV logistics, as an important branch of smart logistics systems, is a result of mechanization, automation, and intelligence.

[0003] To improve delivery capabilities, existing drone delivery devices typically have multiple supply bins. When delivering multiple supplies one by one, the opening and closing of each supply bin is usually controlled by an independent control mechanism. Multiple control mechanisms result in a bulky delivery device with complex and inefficient control, which cannot meet the needs of lightweight and high-efficiency delivery. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a new type of logistics drone delivery device. It can deliver materials one by one from both sides of the warehouse through a single servo motor. The overall structure is simple, reliable and stable.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel logistics drone delivery device includes a container body, a container cover, a camera, a servo motor, and a baffle assembly. The container body has a groove on its bottom surface. The container cover is located at the bottom of the container body and covers the groove. The camera is located in the center of the container cover. Receiving slots are formed on the bottom surface of the grooves on both sides of the camera. Delivery holes corresponding to the receiving slots are formed on the container cover. A baffle assembly is provided at the opening of each of the two receiving slots. The baffle assembly includes an inner baffle and an outer baffle. The inner and outer baffles are respectively located on opposite sides of the opening of the corresponding receiving slot. The two inner baffles are located on opposite sides of the two receiving slots. A servo motor is located at the bottom of the groove. The servo motor can drive the inner and outer baffles in the two baffle assemblies to move linearly relative to or away from each other. The two outer baffles move synchronously and in the same direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the two inner baffles are connected by a connecting rod, and the groove is provided with a connecting plate that corresponds to and runs parallel to the outer baffle. The servo motor drives the two inner baffles to move synchronously through the connecting rod, and the servo motor drives the two outer baffles to move synchronously and in the same direction through the connecting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the output end of the servo motor is provided with a drive block, which has a first drive arm and two second drive arms. The first drive arm has a sliding hole along its length. The connecting rod has a column that passes through the sliding hole and is slidably connected to it. One end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding outer baffle, and the other end of the connecting plate is rotatably provided with a transmission arm. The two transmission arms are rotatably connected to the two second drive arms respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the groove between the two inner baffles is provided with a sliding groove along the moving direction of the inner baffles, and the connecting rod is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the cover is provided with a limiting plate that corresponds to the connecting plate. The limiting plate is located between the corresponding connecting plate and the outer baffle. The two sides of the connecting plate are slidably connected to the corresponding limiting plate and the inner wall of the groove, respectively.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model achieves the sequential delivery of multiple materials through the arrangement of a servo motor, camera, first drive arm, second drive arm, connecting rod, connecting plate, inner baffle, and outer baffle. The device has high overall stability and reliability, and a low failure rate. The camera is installed in the middle of the cover, which improves the accuracy of recognition and delivery, thereby enabling precise delivery.

[0013] 2. This utility model can open the delivery holes one by one with a single servo motor, thereby enabling the delivery of materials one by one. This simplifies the structure of the entire delivery device, reduces the installation space of the servo motor, the complexity of wiring and control circuits, and lowers the overall design and manufacturing difficulty of the delivery device.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a novel logistics drone delivery device includes a cargo compartment 1, a cargo cover 2, a camera 3, a servo motor 4, and a baffle assembly. The cargo compartment 1 has a groove 5 on its bottom surface. The cargo cover 2 is fixed to the bottom of the cargo compartment 1 and covers the groove 5. The camera 3 is installed in the middle of the cargo cover 2. Receiving slots 6 are formed on the bottom surface of the grooves 5 on both sides of the camera 3. Materials can be placed in the receiving slots 6. Delivery holes 7 corresponding to the receiving slots 6 are formed on the cargo cover 2. Baffle assemblies are provided at the openings of both receiving slots 6. The baffle assemblies are used to either cover or open the delivery holes 7. The top of the cargo compartment 1 can be fixedly installed on the drone, with the delivery holes 7 facing downwards. When the baffle assemblies cover the delivery holes 7, materials cannot be delivered; when the delivery holes 7 are open, materials can be delivered through the delivery holes 7.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the baffle assembly includes an inner baffle 8 and an outer baffle 9. The inner baffle 8 and the outer baffle 9 in the baffle assembly are respectively located on both sides of the corresponding receiving groove 6. The two inner baffles 8 are located on opposite sides of the two receiving grooves 6. A servo motor 4 is installed at the bottom of the groove 5. The servo motor 4 is used to drive the inner baffle 8 and the outer baffle 9 in the two baffle assemblies to move linearly relative to or away from each other. When the inner baffle 8 and the outer baffle 9 move relative to each other and move closer together, they jointly block the delivery hole 7. When the inner baffle 8 and the outer baffle 9 move away from each other, the delivery hole 7 can be opened. At the same time, the servo motor 4 is also used to drive the two outer baffles 9 to move synchronously and in the same direction. This way, when one delivery hole 7 is blocked, the other delivery hole 7 is opened, thereby realizing the delivery of materials one by one.

[0022] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, two inner baffles 8 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 10, enabling the two inner baffles 8 to move synchronously and in the same direction. A connecting plate 11 corresponding to and parallel to the outer baffle 9 is provided in the groove 5. A drive block 12 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 4. A first drive arm 13 and two second drive arms 14 are provided on the drive block 12. The first drive arm 13, the second drive arm 14 and the drive block 12 are integrally formed. A sliding hole 15 is provided on the first drive arm 13 along the length direction of the first drive arm 13. A column 16 is fixed on the connecting rod 10. The column 16 passes through the sliding hole 15 and is slidably connected to the sliding hole 15. One end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding outer baffle 9. The other end of the connecting plate 11 is rotatably connected to a transmission arm 17 by a shaft connection. The two transmission arms 17 are rotatably connected to the two second drive arms 14 by a shaft connection.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, a groove 18 is provided on the bottom surface of the groove 5 between the two inner baffles 8 along the moving direction of the inner baffles 8. The connecting rod 10 is slidably connected to the groove 18. Under the sliding cooperation of the connecting rod 10 and the groove 18, the two inner baffles 8 move in a straight line.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, a limiting plate 19 corresponding to the connecting plate 11 is fixed on the inner wall of the cover 2. The limiting plate 19 is located between the corresponding connecting plate 11 and the outer baffle 9. The two sides of the connecting plate 11 are slidably connected to the corresponding limiting plate 19 and the inner wall of the groove 5, so that the servo motor 4 can drive the connecting plate 11 to move linearly, thereby driving the outer baffle to move linearly.

[0025] When the servo motor 4 is working, it drives the drive block 12 to rotate. The rotation of the drive block 12 drives the first drive arm 13 to rotate. Due to the limiting of the connecting rod 10 by the slide groove 18, under the sliding engagement of the column 16 and the slide hole 15, the first drive arm 13 will push or pull the connecting rod 10 to move linearly along the slide groove 18, thereby driving the two inner baffles 8 to move linearly in the same direction. At the same time, the rotation of the drive block 12 drives the two second drive arms 14 to rotate. Due to the limiting plate 19 limiting the connecting plate 11, the two second drive arms 14 pull or push the two connecting plates 11 to move linearly, and the two connecting plates 11 move in the same direction. Thus, the two connecting plates 11 drive the two outer baffles 9 to move synchronously in the same direction. When the inner baffle 8 in the baffle group is pushed towards the outer baffle 9, the outer baffle 9 is simultaneously pulled towards the inner baffle 8, thereby causing the inner baffle 8 and the outer baffle 9 to move relative to each other. Conversely, the inner baffle 8 and the outer baffle 9 move away from each other.

[0026] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] The cargo hold is mounted on the drone and loaded with supplies. The servo motor 4 and camera 3 are connected to the drone's onboard computer, which then controls the servo motor 4 and camera 3. After power-on, the delivery device is in its initial state. The servo motor 4, first drive arm 13, second drive arm 14, inner baffle 8, and outer baffle 9 are all in their initial positions. At this time, the inner baffle 8 and outer baffle 9 block the supply cargo holds on both sides, preventing supplies from falling. When camera 3 detects the delivery point, it obtains the coordinates of the delivery point (x, y, y). t y t At this time, the center coordinates of camera 3 are (x... c y c ), X t =Xc±ΔX, where ΔX is the compensation amount in the X direction (i.e., the distance from the center of the camera to the center of the delivery port). The onboard computer inputs the compensation amount to the flight controller, ensuring that the material on the left is directly facing the delivery point. At this time, the servo 4 receives a signal and drives the drive block 12 to rotate 45° clockwise. Simultaneously, the first drive arm 13 moves the two inner baffles 8 to the right by a distance d1, and the second drive arm 14 moves the two outer baffles 9 to the left by a distance d2. This blocks the delivery hole 7 corresponding to the right receiving slot 6, keeping the material on the right blocked. The delivery hole 7 corresponding to the left receiving slot 6 is opened, allowing the material on the left to be delivered through the corresponding delivery hole 7. When the camera 3 detects the second delivery point, the onboard computer calculates the compensation amount again, ensuring that the material on the right is directly facing the delivery point. At this time, the servo 4 drives the drive block 12 to rotate 90° counterclockwise. Simultaneously, the inner baffle 8 moves to the left by a distance d1, and the outer baffle 9 moves to the right by a distance d2, opening the delivery hole 7 corresponding to the right receiving slot 6, allowing the material on the right to be delivered through the corresponding delivery hole 7.

[0028] Based on the aforementioned novel logistics drone delivery device, this invention enables the delivery holes 7 to open one by one using a single servo motor 4, thereby achieving the delivery of materials one by one. This simplifies the overall structure of the delivery device, reduces the installation space of the servo motor 4, and decreases the complexity of wiring and control circuits, thus lowering the overall design and manufacturing difficulty of the delivery device. The sequential delivery of multiple materials is achieved through the arrangement of the first drive arm 13, the second drive arm 14, the connecting rod 10, the connecting plate 11, the inner baffle 8, and the outer baffle 9. The device exhibits high overall stability and reliability with a low failure rate. The camera 3, installed in the middle of the cover 2, improves the accuracy of recognition and delivery, enabling precise delivery.

[0029] Finally, although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
