[0031] Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) delivery systems have received widespread attention and application in recent years as an important tool for modern logistics, emergency rescue, and the transportation of materials in special environments. They are particularly suitable for firefighting. Compared with traditional firefighting methods, the use of UAV-based in-cabin fire extinguishing bombs significantly improves firefighting efficiency while reducing direct contact with ground personnel, thus lowering the risk of injury or death. They can operate in complex and dangerous environments such as uninhabited forests and chemical industrial parks, enabling timely suppression of early-stage forest fires and buying precious time for firefighting. Firefighting UAVs can carry and deliver large quantities of fire extinguishing agents at once, greatly improving firefighting efficiency. The entire delivery operation is conducted in the air, allowing direct observation of the fire's location. The fire extinguishing agent detonates over a large area, significantly improving the accuracy of firefighting.

[0032] However, existing drone delivery devices generally suffer from low delivery efficiency and inconvenient operation in actual use, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, rapid delivery.

[0033] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a drone delivery device with a reasonable structure and convenient operation, which can realize the orderly, rapid and accurate delivery of multiple materials, improve the delivery quantity and operation efficiency of a single flight, and meet the technical requirements of modern applications for efficient and large-volume unmanned delivery systems.

[0034] Based on the problems existing in the current technology, please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a flight vehicle 1, which includes a body 11 and a transport and delivery device 10, the transport and delivery device 10 being disposed inside the body 11.

[0035] By placing the delivery device 10 inside the fuselage 11, a good aerodynamic shape can be maintained during flight, reducing flight drag and improving flight efficiency. At the same time, it avoids direct interference from the external environment to the delivery device and its loaded delivery components, such as wind pressure, humidity or collision with foreign objects, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the delivery device during flight.

[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transport and delivery device 10 includes a base 100, a guide rail 200, a carrier 300, and a drive component 400.

[0037] The base 100 has an opening 110, the guide rail 200 is disposed on the base 100, the carrier 300 is disposed on the guide rail 200 and is used to load the delivery component, and the drive component 400 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to drive the carrier 300 to move along the guide rail 200 to the opening 110 so as to deliver the carrier 300 loaded with the delivery component from the opening 110.

[0038] In this embodiment, the base 100 serves as the basic structure of the entire device, providing mounting support for the guide rail 200, the carrier 300, and the drive component 400, and providing an exit for the delivery path through the opening 110 on it. The guide rail 200 acts as a motion guide structure for the carrier 300; its arrangement determines the movement path of the carrier 300 on the base 100, ensuring that the carrier 300 can smoothly move along the set trajectory to the opening 110. The carrier 300 is mounted on the guide rail 200 and can slide along it. Its function is to stably support the delivery component before the delivery action occurs, preventing it from deviating or falling off during flight, thereby ensuring flight safety and delivery accuracy.

[0039] Specifically, the drive unit 400 can be activated by an external control system, such as a ground command system or the mission management system of the flight vehicle 1 itself. When the drive unit 400 is working, it drives the carrier unit 300 to slide along the guide rail 200 until the carrier unit 300 moves to the opening 110 of the base 100. At this position, the carrier unit 300 is aligned with the opening 110, and the delivery item can then complete the delivery action under the action of gravity or an auxiliary release mechanism. This linkage between drive and movement makes the delivery process highly controllable and responsive, improving the overall delivery efficiency and operational flexibility of the device.

[0040] It can be seen that the transport and delivery device 10, through the base 100, guide rail 200, bearing component 300 and drive component 400, realizes stable loading and on-demand delivery of the delivery component. The structural design is simple and reasonable, the operation is efficient and reliable, and it is suitable for precise delivery tasks in complex environments.

[0041] It should be noted that delivery component 2 can be a fire extinguisher. In practical applications, such as when large and medium-sized fixed-wing UAVs perform firefighting missions, this device ensures that the fire extinguishing bomb is safely and stably loaded during flight and promptly deployed at the designated location, thereby significantly improving firefighting efficiency and operational safety. Based on the above design, this device possesses good practicality, scalability, and ease of maintenance, adapting to the integration needs of various flight platforms.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that the body 11 is equipped with a delivery port, and the opening 110 corresponds to the delivery port.

[0043] In this embodiment, the fuselage 11 of the flight vehicle 1 serves as the basic structure for carrying the delivery device 10. A delivery port is provided at a specific location on its exterior or interior. This delivery port is typically located at the bottom of the fuselage 11 or in the section connection area, providing a channel for the delivery item to be released from inside the flight vehicle 1 to the outside. The base 100 of the delivery device 10 has an opening 110. After the carrier 300 moves along the guide rail 200 to the opening 110 position under the drive of the drive member 400, the delivery item can then detach from the guide rail 200 structure through the opening 110.

[0044] Furthermore, the guide rail 200 includes a first track 210, a second track 220, and a bracket 230. The first track 210 is disposed on the base 100. The bracket 230 is vertically disposed with one end connected to the first track 210 and the other end connected to the second track 220. Both the first track 210 and the second track 220 are provided with multiple support members 300, and the multiple support members 300 on the first track 210 and the multiple support members 300 on the second track 220 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first track 210, as the basic track structure, undertakes the main load-bearing and guiding functions. It is directly fixed to the base 100, ensuring the stability of the structure and the reliability of force transmission. The second track 220 is raised above the first track 210 by the support of the bracket 230, maintaining a certain vertical distance between the two, thereby realizing the parallel arrangement of the double-layer load-bearing components 300 within a limited space. The bracket 230, as the key structure connecting the first track 210 and the second track 220, not only effectively shares the gravitational load on the second track 220 and its load-bearing components 300 by its vertical arrangement, but also provides the necessary spatial support for the entire guide rail 200 system, enabling the second track 220 to work independently without affecting the operation of the first track 210.

[0046] It should be noted that the carrier 300 on the first track 210 and the carrier 300 on the corresponding second track 220 jointly load the delivery component to improve the stability of the delivery component when it moves on the slide rail.

[0047] Furthermore, the end of the first track 210 extends to the edge of the opening 110, and the first track 210 is provided with a first inclined portion 211 at the end near the opening 110, the height of the first inclined portion 211 gradually decreasing in the direction toward the opening 110.

[0048] Specifically, driven by the drive component 400, the carrier component 300 slides along the first track 210. When it moves to the first inclined section 211, as the height of the inclined section gradually decreases, the contact point between the bottom of the carrier component 300 and the track also decreases, causing a slight adjustment in the posture of the carrier component 300, making it easier to detach from the track and enter the opening 110 area. This design not only optimizes the movement trajectory of the carrier component 300 but also effectively reduces mechanical resistance and the risk of jamming during the delivery process, improving the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the device.

[0049] Furthermore, the second track 220 is provided with a second inclined portion 221, which is located directly above the opening 110 and protrudes in the direction of the opening 110.

[0050] Specifically, the protruding structure of the second inclined part 221 facing the opening 110 forms a transition section that extends forward and slopes downward. This transition section can guide the carrier 300 to gradually adjust its movement posture when it approaches the delivery point through the guiding effect of its inclined surface, so as to enter the opening 110 area more smoothly and more easily, further ensuring the accuracy and controllability of the delivery action.

[0051] The guide rail 200 is arranged in a ring.

[0052] Specifically, the second track 220 is arranged in a ring, and the trajectory of the first track 210 is consistent with that of the second track 220.

[0053] Furthermore, there are multiple openings 110, all of which are located on the moving path of the carrier 300 along the guide rail 200.

[0054] By setting multiple openings 110, multiple carriers 300 can be deployed simultaneously from different openings 110, thereby significantly improving deployment efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, there are multiple driving components 400, all of which are disposed on the base 100 and are used to drive multiple carrier components 300 to move along the guide rail 200 respectively.

[0056] In this embodiment, multiple drive components 400 are respectively disposed on the base 100 and establish a drive connection with the corresponding carrier component 300, so that the carrier component 300 can independently run along the guide rail 200 to the opening 110 position under the control of its respective drive component 400. This not only improves the response speed of the delivery action, but also enables the control system to accurately control the delivery timing of each carrier component 300 according to the task requirements.

[0057] It is worth noting that the drive component 400 is connected to a transmission chain (not shown) or a transmission belt (not shown) to drive the carrier component 300 to move along the guide rail 200 through the transmission structure.

[0058] It should also be noted that the carrier 300 is a sway stop. The introduction of the sway stop not only achieves effective fixation and release of the delivery component, but also makes the delivery action of the delivery component 2 more precise, safe and controllable.

[0059] In summary, this utility model provides a transport and delivery device 10 and a flight vehicle 1. The base 100 provides mounting support for the guide rail 200, the carrier 300, and the drive component 400, and the exit of the delivery path is realized through the opening 110 provided on it. The guide rail 200 serves as a motion guide structure for the carrier 300, ensuring that the carrier 300 can move smoothly along the set trajectory to the position of the opening 110. The carrier 300 is designed to slide along the guide rail 200 to ensure stable support of the delivery component, preventing it from deviating or falling off during flight, thereby ensuring flight safety and delivery accuracy. Therefore, by driving the carrier 300 to slide along the guide rail 200 to the position of the opening 110 through the drive component 400, the delivery component can complete the delivery action under the action of gravity or an auxiliary release mechanism. It can be seen that the transport and delivery device 10 realizes stable loading and on-demand delivery of the delivery component, with a simple and reasonable structural design, efficient and reliable operation, and is suitable for precise delivery tasks in complex environments.
