Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone accessories technology, and in particular to a delivery box for drones to carry items. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of drone technology, the demand for small-item delivery using drones is increasing. For example, in remote areas or scenarios with inconvenient transportation, drones can be used to quickly deliver emergency supplies or daily necessities. There is also a need to use drones to deliver meals to remote positions, such as at highway toll booths. However, while many industrial-grade drones (such as the DJI M300 / M350 series) have strong payload and endurance capabilities, the manufacturers do not provide dedicated payload cases or accessories for logistics delivery. The lack of specialized containers for carrying food boxes or packages limits their application in goods transportation.

[0003] Existing drone delivery solutions sometimes involve suspending goods with ropes or simply strapping boxes together for transport. This method has several drawbacks: first, the goods are exposed and lack protection, making them susceptible to wind and rain during flight; second, goods suspended by ropes are prone to swaying and swinging during flight, affecting flight stability and posing safety hazards; and third, loading and unloading are inconvenient, reducing delivery efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a specially designed drone delivery box to solve the above problems and safely and reliably deliver items over short distances by drone. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to provide a delivery box for drones carrying items with a simple and reasonable structural design that can be installed on drones more conveniently and quickly, and can quickly load and unload goods to improve delivery efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a delivery box for carrying items on a drone, comprising a rectangular box structure with an open rear end. The box is characterized by: a lid hinged to the lower side of the open end of the box, which is vertically rotatable; the distal end of the lid can rotate upwards and cover the open end of the box; a quick-release latch is provided between the distal end of the lid and the box to restrict the lid's rotation; mounting brackets are provided on both sides of the box, each bracket comprising a pair of vertically arranged connecting rods mounted on the sides of the box; the lower ends of the connecting rods are bent outwards to form mounting rods; and each mounting rod has a mounting latch at its outer end. The mounting latches are used to clamp the box onto the landing gear crossbar of the drone.

[0007] Thus, when the aforementioned device is in operation, a lid is hinged to the lower side of the open end of the container, allowing vertical rotation. A quick-opening latch is installed between the lid and the container, enabling the operator to quickly open and close the container when loading or unloading items, improving logistics efficiency. Furthermore, by providing mounting brackets on both sides of the container, with mounting latches at the outer ends of the mounting rods on these brackets, the entire device can be easily and quickly installed onto the landing gear crossbar of the drone, making installation and disassembly more efficient.

[0008] As an optimization, the front end of the box is arched outward, making the front end of the box have an overall arc-shaped surface structure design.

[0009] This design allows the windward side of the enclosure to be curved, reducing air resistance during high-speed flight, minimizing the impact of air disturbances on the drone's flight attitude, and ensuring flight stability and endurance efficiency.

[0010] As an optimization, a reinforcing rib plate with a triangular structure is provided between the connecting support rod and the mounting support rod, and weight reduction holes are provided on the reinforcing rib plate.

[0011] By adding reinforcing ribs, the structural stability of the mounting bracket can be improved, making it more stable and reliable.

[0012] As an optimization, the connecting rod is designed as a long strip structure. Multiple screw holes are set vertically at intervals on both sides of the connecting rod for arranging connecting screws, so that the connecting screws can be threaded into the threaded holes on the side wall of the box.

[0013] This makes it easier to install the mounting brackets on the enclosure, and the installation connection is more stable and reliable.

[0014] Furthermore, the overall cross-sectional profile of the box body is designed as an isosceles trapezoid.

[0015] As an optimization, the mounting latch includes a lower latch block with a semi-circular overall structure located at the distal end of the mounting support rod, and an upper latch block with a semi-circular overall structure that is hinged at the distal end of the mounting support rod and can also rotate vertically. The distal ends of the lower and upper latch blocks are each bent outward horizontally to form a lower locking block and an upper locking block, respectively. The lower locking block has a vertically penetrating mounting notch, and the upper locking block has a clearance notch corresponding to the mounting notch. A hinge shaft is provided within the mounting notch, and both ends of the hinge shaft are rotatably mounted in mounting holes on the side walls of the mounting notch. A connecting element is provided in the middle of the hinge shaft. The device has a vertically arranged mounting shaft, the distal end of which can pass through a clearance notch in the upper locking block. A limit head with an integral cylindrical structure is provided on the upper side of the upper locking block. The outer circumference of the limit head has a mating groove for the upper end of the mounting shaft to extend into. A mating shaft is provided in the mating groove, and both ends of the mating shaft are rotatably installed in mating holes on the side walls of the mating groove. The upper end of the mounting shaft is connected to the mating shaft. The lower side of the outer circumference of the limit head can abut against and support the upper locking block to restrict the rotation of the upper locking block. An operating support block facing outward is integrally formed on the outer circumference of the limit head.

[0016] This design makes the locking mechanism simpler and more reasonable, and easier to operate and use. It also allows for better clamping and installation on the landing gear crossbar of the drone, resulting in greater stability and reliability after installation, and easier operation and disassembly.

[0017] As an optimization, each of the upper side of the locking block and each of the corresponding limiting heads is provided with a contoured mating groove.

[0018] This results in a more rational structural design, which improves the reliability of installation.

[0019] As an optimization, two hinge protrusions are spaced apart at the outer end of the mounting rod. The inner end of the upper locking block has a hinge mating block that extends into the space between the two hinge protrusions. The hinge mating block is provided with a hinge mating shaft, and both ends of the hinge mating shaft are installed and mated in the hinge mounting holes of the hinge protrusions.

[0020] This makes the structural design simpler and more reasonable, and makes it easier to install the locking blocks.

[0021] As an optimization, the quick-opening latch includes two pairs of support blocks spaced apart at the far end of the lid. A rotating shaft is hinged between the two pairs of support blocks, and a horizontally arranged connecting shaft is connected to the middle of the rotating shaft. Limiting blocks are provided on the box body corresponding to each connecting shaft, allowing the connecting shaft to pass through a notch in the limiting block. A cylindrical anti-rotation head is provided at the far end of the corresponding connecting shaft. An installation groove is provided on the outer circumference of the anti-rotation head, and a rotating shaft is provided in the installation groove, allowing the far end of the connecting shaft to be connected to the rotating shaft. The outer circumference of the anti-rotation head can abut against the inner side of the limiting block to restrict the support block from moving away from the limiting block. Furthermore, an outwardly facing force support block is integrally formed on the outer circumference of the anti-rotation head.

[0022] In this way, the quick-opening latch has a simpler and more reasonable structural design, making it easier to operate and use; and it also makes its operation more stable and reliable.

[0023] As an optimization, contour-fitting grooves are provided on the side of the limiting block and at both ends of the corresponding limiting head.

[0024] This improves the reliability of the quick-opening latch.

[0025] In summary, the above-mentioned device has the characteristics of simple and reasonable structural design, which makes it easier and faster to install on drones and to quickly load and unload goods to improve delivery efficiency. Attached Figure Description
