Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of airdrop cabinet technology, and in particular to a shared airdrop cabinet that is compatible with multiple models of logistics drones. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the country's emphasis on the low-altitude economy, logistics drones are being further promoted. Unrestricted by roads, mountains, rivers, or other terrain features, logistics drones can achieve point-to-point delivery, bypassing ground congestion during peak urban hours, significantly shortening transportation time, reducing manpower requirements, and lowering transportation costs. The airdrop containers that dock with these drones have become a crucial final link in the delivery process. Logistics drones come in various models, and the dimensions of their cargo containers differ. Some drones have rotation correction systems that align the cargo containers when hovering near the airdrop container, while others have lower unloading accuracy, causing the cargo containers to tilt, which poses challenges to the standardized reception of cargo in airdrop containers.

[0021] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may have an intervening component present. When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present.

[0022] Furthermore, it should be noted that the directional terms such as left, right, up, and down used in the embodiments of this utility model are only relative concepts or references to the normal use of the product, and should not be considered restrictive. The implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 The diagram shows a shared airdrop cabinet adapted to multiple models of logistics drones, used to receive cargo boxes 1 carried by the drones. The shared airdrop cabinet includes a cabinet body 2, with an opening 3 at the top of the cabinet body 2 connecting to the interior. A conveyor belt device 4 is installed on one side of the opening 3. The conveyor belt device 4 includes a frame 41 and a conveyor belt body 42 surrounding the frame 41. After the cargo box 1 falls onto the conveyor belt device 4, it is transferred to the opening 3. (See attached diagram) Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 As shown, partitions 5 are installed at intervals along the conveying direction on the conveyor belt body 42, and the partitions 5 move synchronously with the conveyor belt body 42. A receiving area for placing the cargo box 1 is formed between adjacent partitions 5. In this embodiment, the receiving area has a marking 9 to facilitate the drone's descent, so as to improve the accuracy of the drone's descent and reduce the degree of tilt of the cargo box 1.

[0024] Limiting brackets 6 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt device 4. Limiting side plates 7, parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, are installed at the ends of the limiting brackets 6. The distance between the limiting side plates 7 is variable. A weighing sensor is installed on the conveyor belt device 4. When the weight on the conveyor belt body 42 exceeds a set value, the distance between the two limiting side plates 7 decreases, thus pushing the cargo box 1 so that its four sides are parallel or perpendicular to the conveying direction. The conveyor belt device 4 then transports the cargo box 1 to the opening 3, allowing it to neatly enter the cabinet 2. After being pushed by the limiting side plates 7, the cargo box 1 may experience friction with them, hindering its synchronous movement with the conveyor belt body 42. In this case, the cargo box 1 remains stationary while the conveyor belt body 42 moves, until it abuts against the partition 5 on the conveyor belt body 42. The partition 5 then pushes the cargo box 1 forward, allowing it to enter the opening 3. A pressure sensor is installed on the limiting side plate 7. When the pressure between the two limiting side plates 7 exceeds the set value, the distance between the limiting side plates 7 increases slightly. This reduces the side pressure on the cargo box 1 to prevent the goods from being crushed, and also reduces the side friction to make the movement of the cargo box 1 smoother.

[0025] The two limiting side plates 7 can be both movable, or one movable and one fixed. In this embodiment, the limiting bracket 6 includes a first bracket 61 and a second bracket 62. The first bracket 61 is fixedly connected to the frame 41, and the second bracket 62 moves closer to or away from the first bracket 61 under the drive of a motor. This structure reduces the space occupied, making the cabinet 2 more compact and improving space utilization.

[0026] The top of the cabinet 2 has a sliding cover 8 for covering or exposing the opening 3 and the conveyor belt device 4.

[0027] As attached Figure 5 As shown, a shelf 10 and a transfer device 11 are installed inside the cabinet 2. The transfer device 11 is used to receive the boxes 1 moving from the conveyor belt body 42 through the opening 3 and transfer them to the shelf 10. The transfer device 11 includes a pallet 12 for carrying the boxes 1. When the sliding cover 8 is opened to receive the boxes 1, the pallet 12 rises from the opening 3 to be flush with the upper surface of the conveyor belt body 42 for a more secure receipt of the boxes 1.

[0028] A camera device 13 is installed on the side of the conveyor belt device 4. The shelf 10 has shelves of different sizes. The transfer device 11 transfers the box 1 to the shelf of the corresponding size according to the width of the box 1 identified by the camera device 13, making full use of the space inside the cabinet.

[0029] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
