It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this application. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

[0020] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0022] The term "aircraft" is defined as an air transport system of any size having at least one lift propeller as its propulsion source. The term "aircraft" can include both "manned" and "unmanned" air transport systems. A manned aircraft can mean an air transport system carrying one or more human passengers, none of whom have control over the aircraft. A manned aircraft can also mean an air transport system carrying one or more human passengers, some of whom, or one of whom, has partial or full control over the aircraft. An unmanned aircraft can mean an air transport system that does not carry any human passengers and flies autonomously or is remotely controlled by someone at a distance.

[0023] In this specification, "aircraft" includes manned aircraft and any unmanned vehicle, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned aircraft, remote-controlled aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems, any aircraft classified by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) under cycle 328AN / 190, and so on.

Furthermore, certain portions of this disclosure can be used in conjunction with drones in the form of other types of unmanned vehicles (e.g., wheeled, tracked, and / or watercraft).

[0024] Embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The present application describes a delivery system in general, which includes a delivery component 100 and an object to be delivered.

[0025] In this application, the delivery component is used to deliver the object to be delivered. After the aircraft flies to the target location, the delivery component releases the object to be delivered, thereby completing the delivery task.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dispensing component 100 presents an overall "X" shape and is composed of two rectangular mechanisms intersecting each other.

[0027] Of course, in another embodiment, the delivery component 100 may also take on other shapes, and this application does not impose further restrictions on this.

[0028] Specifically, the object to be delivered is attached to the lower part of the delivery component 100. When the aircraft flies to the target position, the delivery component 100 releases the object to be delivered, thereby completing the delivery task.

[0029] For example, when an aircraft needs to perform a firefighting mission, it can carry fire extinguishing bombs, which are then attached to the underside of the delivery unit 100. When the aircraft flies over the fire, it releases the fire extinguishing bombs to complete the firefighting mission.

[0030] For example, when an aircraft needs to perform a mission to deliver supplies to a disaster area, it can carry a supply container and hang it below the delivery component 100. When the aircraft flies over the disaster area, it releases the supply container to complete the mission of delivering supplies to the disaster area.

[0031] Please refer to now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the deployment component 100 specifically includes a fixing device 110 and a landing device 120.

[0032] Specifically, the fixing device 110 is installed inside the cabin of the aircraft, and during the delivery process, the fixing device 110 will not descend as the object to be delivered descends.

[0033] Furthermore, the landing device 120 abuts against the fixing device 110, and the landing device 120 is configured to be detachable from the fixing device 110 during descent.

[0034] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the landing device 120 of this application specifically includes a cylinder 121, a cylinder cover 122, a parachute compartment box 123, and a parachute compartment cover 124.

[0035] Specifically, in one embodiment, the cross-section of the cylinder 121 is generally rectangular 1211, and there is a transition surface 1212 above the cylinder 121, and there is also a threaded opening 1213 above the transition surface 1212.

[0036] Of course, in another embodiment, the cylinder 121 may take on other shapes, such as a square or a trapezoid, and this application does not impose further restrictions on this.

[0037] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the threaded opening 1213 can be either a coarse thread or a fine thread, and this application does not impose any further restrictions on this.

[0038] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the slope of the transition surface 1212 can be relatively gentle or relatively steep, and this application does not impose any further restrictions on it.

[0039] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the threaded opening 1213 occupies one-tenth of the overall length of the cylinder 121, while the transition surface 1212 occupies one-fifth of the overall length of the cylinder 121.

[0040] Of course, in another embodiment, the threaded opening 1213 may occupy other proportions of the overall length of the cylinder 121, such as one-eighth or one-twelfth, while the transition surface 1212 may occupy one-quarter or one-sixth of the overall length of the cylinder 121. This application does not impose further restrictions on this.

[0041] Furthermore, please continue to refer to... Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the top cover 122 of the cylinder is screwed onto the cylinder 121.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, the openings of the cylinder cover 122 and the cylinder 121 may not have threaded holes, but may directly adopt a snap-fit ​​combination method. This application does not impose further restrictions on this.

[0043] Furthermore, please continue to refer to... Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the parachute compartment 123 has a rectangular shape and is placed on top of the cylinder 121. A parachute is placed inside the parachute compartment 123. During the descent of the object to be dropped, the parachute inside the parachute compartment 123 is pulled out of the parachute compartment 123 and automatically opens under the action of wind.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, the umbrella compartment box 123 is connected to the cylinder 121 by the umbrella compartment box 123 directly covering the top of the cylinder 121. Of course, in other embodiments, the umbrella compartment box 123 and the cylinder 121 can also be connected by other methods, such as snap-fit ​​connection or magnetic connection. This application does not impose further restrictions on this.

[0045] In order to ensure that the parachute can be safely stored in the parachute compartment 123, the deployment system of this application also includes a parachute compartment cover 124. Preferably, the parachute compartment cover 124 is placed on the parachute compartment 123.

[0046] Preferably, in this embodiment, the umbrella compartment box 123 and the umbrella compartment cover 124 are connected by the umbrella compartment cover 124 directly covering the top of the umbrella compartment box 123. Of course, in other embodiments, the umbrella compartment box 123 and the umbrella compartment cover 124 can also be connected by other methods, such as snap-fit ​​connection or magnetic connection. This application does not impose further restrictions on this.

[0047] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a protrusion 1221 is provided on the upper part of the cylinder cover 122. It is also worth noting that a through hole 1222 is provided in the middle of the protrusion 1221.

[0048] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the through hole 1222 is located at the center of the protrusion 1221, while in another embodiment, the through hole 1222 may not be located at the center of the protrusion 1221. This application does not impose further restrictions on this.

[0049] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the through hole 1222 may be circular, while in another embodiment, the through hole 1222 may not be circular, such as square, and this application does not impose further restrictions on this.

[0050] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the cross-section of the protrusion 1221 generally presents an arc shape, while in another embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the protrusion 1221 generally presents a non-arc shape, such as a rectangle. This application does not impose further limitations on this.

[0051] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, a suspension rope 1223 is provided above the top cover 122 of the tube, and the main rope of the parachute is connected to the suspension rope 1223.

[0052] In order to ensure that the object to be dropped can land smoothly, in this embodiment, the main rope of the parachute is connected to the suspension rope 1223, so that the object to be dropped can be attached to the bottom of the parachute. During the descent of the parachute, it can be ensured that the object to be dropped is always connected to the parachute.

[0053] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the connection between the main parachute rope and the suspension rope 1223 can be a hook connection. Of course, in another embodiment, it can also be a magnetic connection. This application does not impose further limitations on this.

[0054] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the length of the main parachute rope can be longer than the length of the suspension rope 1223. Of course, in another embodiment, the length of the main parachute rope can be shorter than the length of the suspension rope 1223. This application does not impose further limitations on this.

[0055] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the parachute and the object to be deployed can be connected by rope as described in this application. Of course, in another embodiment, the parachute and the object to be deployed can be connected by any other method, such as magnetic connection. This application does not impose any further restrictions on this.

[0056] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown in this application, the landing device 120 also includes a traction rope 125, preferably connected to the fixing device 110.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the parachute can successfully detach from the parachute compartment box 123 during the delivery process of the delivery component, the traction rope 125 is directly connected to the fixing device 110 of the delivery component 100 inside the aircraft cabin. Since one end of the traction rope 125 is connected to the parachute and the other end of the traction rope 125 is connected to the fixing device 110, when the landing device 120 descends, it will pull the traction rope 125 under tension. As the landing device 120 continues to descend, the traction rope 125 will pull the parachute out and then break, thus ensuring that the parachute can successfully detach from the parachute compartment box 123.

[0058] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown in this application, the landing device 120 also includes a buffer pad 126. In this embodiment, the buffer pad 126 is disposed at the bottom of the cylinder 121 and can provide a buffering effect when the cylinder 121 reaches the ground.

[0059] In one embodiment, the connection between the buffer pad 126 and the cylinder 121 can be an integrally formed connection. Of course, in another embodiment, the connection between the buffer pad 126 and the cylinder 121 can be a movable connection, such as a snap-fit ​​connection. This application does not impose further limitations on this.

[0060] Please continue reading now. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown in this application, the middle part of the cylinder 121 is also provided with an opening cover 127, which makes it convenient for users to put and take out materials.

[0061] In one embodiment, the opening cover 127 may be located in the middle of the cylinder 121. Of course, in another embodiment, the opening cover 127 may not be located in the middle of the cylinder 121. This application does not impose further restrictions on this.
