Detailed Implementation

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a drone delivery device is disclosed, including an adapter 1, a housing 2, a roller 3, and a drive assembly 4. The adapter 1 is fixedly connected to the drone, the housing 2 is fixedly connected to the adapter 1, and the roller 3 is rotatably disposed within the housing 2, holding multiple items to be delivered. The drive assembly 4 is fixedly disposed on the housing 2 and drives the roller 3 to rotate after the drone reaches the target location, thereby discharging the materials from the delivery port 23 of the housing 2.

[0032] For details, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The adapter 1 is a platform, whose upper surface can be fixedly connected to the drone, and whose lower surface can be fixedly connected to the shell 2.

[0033] The structure of shell 2 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a connecting portion 21, a first circumferential wall 22, a dispensing port 23, and a first circular end face 24. The first circumferential wall 22 is a ring of a certain width, with the dispensing port 23 located at its bottom. The top of the first circumferential wall 22 protrudes upwards, forming the connecting portion 21. The connecting portion 21 has a first connecting surface 211 at the top and a second connecting surface 212 on the side. One axial end of the first circumferential wall 22 is sealed by the first circular end face 24, and the first circular end face 24 and the second connecting surface 212 are located on opposite sides of the first circumferential wall 22.

[0034] The first connecting surface 211 of the connecting part 21 is used to connect the adapter body 1, and the second connecting surface 212 is used to connect the drive assembly 4. The first circumferential wall 22 and the first circular end face 24 enclose a cylindrical space to accommodate the roller 3.

[0035] The structure of roller 3 is as follows Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the roller 3 is a cylindrical structure, including a central shaft 31, a second circumferential wall 32, a second circular end face 33, a third circular end face 34, and a material receiving cavity 36.

[0036] The second circular end face 33 and the third circular end face 34 are located at the two ends of the second circumferential wall 32, respectively. One end of the central shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the center of the second circular end face 33, and the other end is fixedly connected to the center of the third circular end face 34.

[0037] The material receiving cavity 36 is a cavity formed by radial inward indentation from the second circumferential wall 32. It can be circular, rectangular, or other suitable shapes.

[0038] The roller 3 preferably has three material receiving cavities 36, such as Figure 5 As shown. Three material receiving cavities 36 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the roller 3. There can also be four, five or more material receiving cavities 36, which can be selected arbitrarily according to the actual situation.

[0039] To reduce overall weight, the central shaft 31 is preferably a hollow shaft.

[0040] A fixing hole 35 is provided in the middle of the third circular end face 34, such as Figure 1 As shown. The fixing hole 35 is used to connect to the output end of the drive element. In order to ensure the stability of the rotational motion transmission, five fixing holes 35 are provided, one of which is located in the center and the other four are evenly distributed around the center.

[0041] When the roller 3 is installed into the housing 2, the second circular end face 33 is pressed against the first circular end face 24 of the housing 2, so that the third circular end face 34 is exposed from the other end of the housing 2, which facilitates the connection between the drive element and the roller 3.

[0042] The drive assembly 4 includes a drive mounting base 41 and a drive element (not shown in the figure). The drive element is mounted on the mounting base 41, and its output end can be fixedly connected to the third circular end face 34 of the roller 3, thereby driving the roller 3 to rotate.

[0043] The structure of the drive mounting base 41 is as follows Figure 6 As shown, it includes a lateral extension and a longitudinal extension. One end of the lateral extension has multiple threaded holes for fixed connection with the second connecting surface 212 of the connecting part 21 of the housing 2. The longitudinal extension extends vertically downward from the end of the lateral extension, and its lower part is provided with a first groove 42 for fixing a drive element. The drive element is preferably a servo motor.

[0044] When materials need to be delivered, the drone turns on its searchlight. After the photoresistor receives the light signal, the microcontroller controls the drive element to rotate. The roller 3, which is loaded with materials, rotates with the output end of the drive element. When the material receiving cavity 36 of the roller 3 rotates to the delivery port 23, the material is automatically delivered. One piece is delivered each time, and a total of three deliveries can be made.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the drone delivery device provided in this embodiment uses a roller to hold multiple materials and delivers the materials by rotating the roller, thus realizing the function of delivering multiple materials at multiple points.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
