Description

[0002] Air transport is characterized by its speed and mobility, making it an important mode of long-distance transportation. In operating transport equipment, a cargo hold is needed to load the goods being transported. Currently, air transport equipment typically integrates the cargo hold with the aircraft in a single structure. Before and after flight transport, cargo needs to be transferred within the cargo hold. This requires the aircraft to wait for cargo loading and unloading before and after flight transport, significantly impacting the operation.

[0003] Existing technologies have also proposed transport drones with detachable cargo compartments. For example, the invention patent with application number 202311750812.3 discloses a transport drone with a detachable cargo compartment. However, the cargo compartment and fuselage of such transport drones usually adopt a conformal design. As an essential component of the transport drone, the cargo compartment cannot achieve independent flight of the fuselage in the detached state, and it is also difficult to adapt to different cargo compartments, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of multiple scenarios and resulting in poor universality.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a flight pylon that is relatively independent of the cargo hold, and that can be adapted to different cargo holds and various scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a flight pylon, including a wing 110, a flight pylon body 120, a tail fin 130, a landing gear 140, and a power system 150.

[0033] The wing 110 is connected to the side of the flight pylon body 120; the tail fin 130 is connected to the tail of the flight pylon body 120; the landing gear 140 is connected to the front end of the flight pylon body 120 and below the wing 110 respectively; the bottom of the flight pylon body 120 is provided with an assembly plane, which extends from the front end to the rear end of the flight pylon body 120, and an interference-free assembly space is formed below the assembly plane; this assembly space is free from interference from other structures, has a large space, and can adapt to the assembly of different types of containers 300.

[0034] The power system 150 is mounted on the wing 110.

[0035] The flight pylon provided in this embodiment can be assembled with the container 300 carrying cargo 327, or it can be independent of the container 300 to achieve independent flight of the flight pylon 100. The flight pylon 100 can also be adapted to different containers 300, which can meet the needs of multiple scenarios and improve its versatility. The flight pylon 100 has a simple structure and no redundant design, which can reduce cost and weight.

[0036] It should be noted that the flight pylon 100 also includes an energy system, a navigation system, a flight control system, and a communication system. These systems are respectively installed within the flight pylon body 120. The energy system is connected to the navigation system, flight control system, communication system, and power system 150, providing the necessary energy to each system. The navigation system is connected to the flight control system, providing navigation for the flight pylon 100. The flight control system is also connected to the power system 150 and landing gear 140, controlling the flight status of the power system 150 and the retraction and extension of the landing gear 140. The communication system is connected to the navigation system and flight control system, used for the transmission of ground signals between the flight pylon 100 and the flight pylon 100.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the tail fin 130 can be H-shaped, T-shaped, or V-shaped. The H-shaped tail fin 130 can be positioned away from the downdraft interference of the main wing, maintaining better pitch control at high angles of attack and avoiding the influence of vortices behind the fuselage or wing 110, thus improving handling efficiency. The T-shaped tail fin 130, with its horizontal stabilizer located at the tip of the vertical stabilizer, is away from the turbulence and downdraft generated by the wing 110, maintaining better handling efficiency, especially at low speeds and high angles of attack. The horizontal stabilizer's control performance is more stable, particularly near the stall boundary. The V-shaped tail fin 130 reduces interference drag generated at the junction of the vertical and horizontal surfaces in a conventional tail fin 130, resulting in lower overall drag, especially noticeable at high speeds. Its simplified structure reduces weight, indirectly improving fuel efficiency or payload capacity. Different tail fin shapes can be selected based on different flight conditions.

[0038] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a flight pylon, which consists of a wing 110, a flight pylon body 120, a tail fin 130, a landing gear 140, an energy system, a power system 150, a navigation system, a flight control system, and a communication system.

[0039] The wing 110 is connected to the side of the flight pylon body 120; the tail fin 130 is connected to the tail of the flight pylon body 120; the landing gear 140 is connected to the front end of the flight pylon body 120 and below the wing 110 respectively; the bottom of the flight pylon body 120 is provided with an assembly plane, which extends from the front end to the rear end of the flight pylon body 120, and an interference-free assembly space is formed below the assembly plane; this assembly space is free from interference from other structures, has a large space, and can adapt to the assembly of different types of containers 300.

[0040] The energy system, navigation system, flight control system, and communication system are respectively installed within the flight pylon body 120; the power system 150 is installed on the wing 110. The energy system is connected to the navigation system, flight control system, communication system, and power system 150, providing the necessary energy to each system. The navigation system is connected to the flight control system, providing navigation for the flight pylon 100. The flight control system is also connected to the power system 150 and landing gear 140, controlling the flight status of the power system 150 and the retraction and extension of the landing gear 140; the communication system is connected to the navigation system and flight control system, used for the transmission of ground signals between the flight pylon 100 and the flight pylon 100.

[0041] The flight pylon provided in this embodiment can be assembled with the container 300 carrying cargo 327, or it can be independent of the container 300 to achieve independent flight of the flight pylon 100. The flight pylon 100 can also be adapted to different containers 300, which can meet the needs of multiple scenarios and improve its versatility. The flight pylon 100 has a simple structure and no redundant design, which can reduce cost and weight.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the tail fin 130 can be H-shaped, T-shaped, or V-shaped. The H-shaped tail fin 130 can be positioned away from the downdraft interference of the main wing, maintaining better pitch control at high angles of attack and avoiding the influence of vortices behind the fuselage or wing 110, thus improving handling efficiency. The T-shaped tail fin 130, with its horizontal stabilizer located at the tip of the vertical stabilizer, is away from the turbulence and downdraft generated by the wing 110, maintaining better handling efficiency, especially at low speeds and high angles of attack. The horizontal stabilizer's control performance is more stable, particularly near the stall boundary. The V-shaped tail fin 130 reduces interference drag generated at the junction of the vertical and horizontal surfaces in a conventional tail fin 130, resulting in lower overall drag, especially noticeable at high speeds. Its simplified structure reduces weight, indirectly improving fuel efficiency or payload capacity. Different tail fin shapes can be selected based on different flight conditions.

[0043] Example 3 Reference Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a flight pylon assembly, including a flight pylon 100 as described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, and a locking structure 200. The locking structure 200 is connected to the flight pylon body 120 and is connected to the side of the flight pylon body 120. Multiple locking structures 200 are connected to the side of the flight pylon body 120. The flight pylon body 120 is connected to a container 300 through the locking structures 200, enabling the assembly and disassembly of the container 300 and the flight pylon 100.

[0044] Specifically, refer to Figure 5-7As shown, the lock structure 200 includes a fixing member 210, a lock body 220, a hanging member 230, and an unlocking member. The fixing member 210 is provided with a mounting hole 211 for connecting to the flight hanger 100.

[0045] Specifically, the lock body 220 is rotatably mounted on the fixing member 210, that is, the lock body 220 is rotatably connected to the fixing member 210 via a pivot 221. The lock body 220 includes a latch end 222 and an unlock end 223, with the latch end 222 extending laterally toward the unlock end 223, thus forming an L-shaped structure. After the lock body 220 is rotatably mounted on the fixing member 210, the latch end 222 is positioned below the unlock end 223.

[0046] Specifically, one end of the hanging component 230 is provided with a buckle body 231 for engaging with the locking end 222. In the locked state, the buckle body 231 engages with the locking end 222, thereby connecting the hanging component 230 to the fixing component 210. The hanging component 230 is used to connect to the container 300, thus allowing the container 300 to be mounted on the flight rack 100 when the locking structure 200 is locked. In this embodiment, the flight rack 100 can be understood as an aircraft capable of connecting to the items to be transported via the locking structure 200.

[0047] Specifically, the unlocking element is used to lock or release the lock body 220. When the unlocking element locks the lock body 220, the latch 231 engages with the latch end 222, keeping the container 300 connected to the flight rack 100; when the unlocking element releases the lock body 220, the lock body 220 rotates, causing the latch 231 to separate from the latch end 222, thus separating the container 300 from the flight rack 100.

[0048] The flight pylon assembly provided in this embodiment, when the unlocking member locks the lock body 220, causes the latch body 231 to engage with the latch end 222, thus limiting the rotation of the lock body 220 and ensuring a stable connection between the hanging member 230 and the lock body 220, enabling the installation of the container 300 and the flight pylon 100. When the unlocking member releases the lock body 220, the hanging member 230, under the weight of the container 300, drives the lock body 220 to rotate, thereby separating the latch body 231 from the latch end 222 and enabling the disassembly of the container 300 and the flight pylon 100. This lock structure 200 enables rapid installation and disassembly of the container 300 and the flight pylon, improving transportation efficiency. Furthermore, the overall lock structure 200 is simple and facilitates convenient installation and disassembly of the container 300 and the flight pylon.

[0049] Specifically, the locking end 222 protrudes along one side of the unlocking end 223 to form a first locking surface, and the buckle body 231 protrudes along one side of the hanging member 230 to form a second locking surface. When the buckle body 231 is engaged with the locking end 222, the second locking surface abuts against the first locking surface and the buckle body 231 is positioned above the locking end 222. When the unlocking member releases the lock body 220, under the gravity of the container 300, the lock body 220 rotates around the pivot 221, the first locking surface rotates to an inclined state, and the second locking surface can move smoothly relative to the first locking surface, thereby separating the hanging member 230 from the lock body 220.

[0050] It should be noted that there are various forms of unlocking devices; in this embodiment, the unlocking device is an electromagnetic lock. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 5 As shown, the unlocking component includes an electromagnet 240, and the unlocking end 223 is made of ferromagnetic material. The electromagnet 240 and the hanging component 230 are located on both sides of the lock body 220. When the electromagnet 240 is energized, it attracts the unlocking end 223, restricting the rotation of the lock body 220. At this time, the lock body 220 is in a vertical state, keeping the buckle 231 and the latch end 222 engaged, thereby keeping the container 300 and the flight rack 100 in a connected state.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 As shown, when the electromagnet 240 is de-energized, the unlocking end 223 is released, allowing the unlocking end 223 to rotate freely. At this time, under the gravity of the container 300, the lock body 220 is driven to rotate around the pivot 221, causing the lock body 220 to be in an inclined state, thereby allowing the latch body 231 to disengage from the latch end 222. (Refer to...) Figure 7 As shown, when the fastener 231 disengages from the locking end 222, the lifting component 230 continues to move downward, thereby separating the container 300 from the flight rack 100.

[0052] Specifically, the flight rack 100 is connected to multiple fasteners 210, each fastener 210 is provided with a lock body 220, and the container 300 is connected to multiple hanging parts 230. The relative positions of each hanging part 230 are fixed, and each hanging part 230 corresponds one-to-one with each lock body 220, so that the horizontal position of each hanging part 230 is relatively fixed, and the hanging part 230 can only be moved in the vertical direction to achieve the engagement or disengagement between the hanging part 230 and the lock body 220.

[0053] Usage process: During flight transport, the fastener 210 is installed on the flight hangar, and the suspender 230 is connected to the container 300. The electromagnet 240 attracts the unlocking end 223 to keep the lock body 220 in a vertical downward position, restricts the rotation of the lock body 220, and makes the buckle 231 engage with the locking end 222, thereby making the container 300 stably connected to the flight hangar 100.

[0054] When it is necessary to release container 300, electromagnet 240 is de-energized and no longer attracts unlocking end 223, allowing lock body 220 to rotate freely. Due to the weight of container 300, the hanging component 230 will generate a downward force, thereby driving lock body 220 to rotate around pivot 221 and release hanging component 230.

[0055] The lifting component 230 moves downward and separates from the locking body 220, causing the container 300 to detach from the flight rack 100.

[0056] Example 4 Reference Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a flight rack assembly. It should be noted that the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that the unlocking component of the lock structure 200 in this embodiment is a mechanical unlocking component, that is, the lock structure 200 in this embodiment is a mechanical lock.

[0057] Reference Figure 8-10 As shown, the unlocking component includes a movable block 250, and the fixing component 210 is provided with a movable groove 212. The movable block 250 is movably installed in the movable groove 212. The movable groove 212 is divided into a first position and a second position according to its relative position with the unlocking end 223, so that when the movable block 250 moves to the first position, it abuts against the unlocking end 223, and when the movable block 250 moves to the second position, it separates from the unlocking end 223.

[0058] Specifically, the movable groove 212 extends vertically, with the first position located at the lower end of the movable groove 212 and the second position located at the upper end of the movable groove 212. The movable block 250 and the hanging member 230 are respectively located on the same side of the lock body 220, as shown in the figure. Figure 8 As shown, when the moving block 250 moves to the lower end of the moving slot 212, the moving block 250 abuts against the unlocking end 223. At this time, the unlocking component and the lock body 220 are in a locked state, restricting the rotation of the lock body 220. The latching body 231 engages with the latching end 222, keeping the container 300 and the flight rack 100 in the installed state. (Refer to...) Figure 9 As shown, when the moving block 250 moves upward to the upper end of the moving groove 212, the moving block 250 separates from the unlocking end 223, and the unlocking component is separated from the lock body 220, no longer restricting the rotation of the lock body 220. Therefore, under the gravity of the container 300, the lock body 220 is driven to rotate around the pivot 221, thereby causing the lock body 220 to tilt. (Refer to...) Figure 10 As shown, the sling 230 continues to move downward, thereby separating the sling 230 from the lock body 220 and removing the container 300 from the flight rack 100.

[0059] It should be noted that the movable block 250 can be moved by a movable structure. Specifically, the movable structure is connected to both the movable block 250 and the fixed member 210, and the movable block 250 is moved and its position changed by the extension and retraction of the movable structure. It should also be noted that the movable structure can be a hydraulic rod, a pneumatic rod, an electric rod, or other types of movable structures.

[0060] Usage process: During flight transport, the fastener 210 is installed on the flight hangar, and the suspender 230 is connected to the container 300; the moving block 250 moves to the lower end of the moving slot 212 and abuts against the unlocking end 223, restricting the rotation of the lock body 220 and engaging the buckle body 231 with the locking end 222, thereby stably connecting the container 300 to the flight hangar 100.

[0061] When it is necessary to release the container 300, the moving block 250 is moved to the upper end of the moving groove 212 and disengaged from the unlocking end 223, and the rotation of the lock body 220 is no longer restricted. Due to the weight of the container 300, the hanging component 230 will generate a downward force, thereby driving the lock body 220 to rotate around the rotating shaft 221 and releasing the hanging component 230.

[0062] The lifting component 230 moves downward and separates from the locking body 220, causing the container 300 to detach from the flight rack 100.

[0063] Example 5 Reference Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a flight rack assembly. It should be noted that the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that the unlocking component of the lock structure 200 in this embodiment is a pneumatic unlocking component, that is, the lock structure 200 in this embodiment is a pneumatic lock.

[0064] Specifically, refer to Figure 11-14 As shown, the unlocking component includes a piston 260 and a gas generator 270; the fixing component 210 has a piston 260 channel, and the piston 260 is movably installed in the piston 260 channel, allowing the piston 260 to move along the piston 260 channel, and the piston 260 and the hanging component 230 are respectively located on both sides of the lock body 220. An elastic component 213 is provided between the unlocking end 223 and the fixing component 210; the elastic component 213 has elastic potential energy to drive the unlocking end 223 toward the piston 260; the gas generator 270 is connected to the piston 260 channel, so that when the gas generator 270 is activated, it pushes the piston 260 toward the direction of the elastic component 213.

[0065] Reference Figure 12As shown, when the gas generator 270 is not started, the unlocking end 223 remains vertically downward under the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 213. At this time, the unlocking element locks the lock body 220, the buckle body 231 is engaged with the buckle end 222, and the container 300 is installed on the flight rack 100.

[0066] Reference Figure 13 As shown, when the gas generator 270 is started, gas enters the piston 260 channel, pushing the piston 260 towards the direction of the elastic element 213. This causes the piston 260 to push the unlocking end 223 to overcome the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 213 and rotate around the shaft 221, thereby releasing the lock body 220. (Refer to...) Figure 14 As shown, the lifting component 230 continues to move downward, thereby separating the fastener 231 from the locking end 222, and realizing the disassembly of the container 300 from the flight rack 100.

[0067] It should be noted that, continue to refer to Figure 11 As shown, an outer cover 290 is connected to the outside of the fixing member 210 to close the piston 260 channel.

[0068] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 14 As shown, the piston 260 channel includes an upper partition 214 and a lower partition 215, with a notch on the lower partition 215. The unlocking end 223 extends into the piston 260 channel through the notch, and the width of the notch is greater than the width of the unlocking end 223. When the gas generator 270 is not activated, the unlocking end 223 abuts against the lower partition 215 under the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 213, keeping the lock body 220 in a vertically downward state. When the piston 260 pushes the unlocking end 223, the lock body 220 can rotate at the notch.

[0069] Specifically, refer to Figure 15 As shown, a gas pipeline 280 is arranged on the top of the container 300. Each gas pipeline 280 is connected to the corresponding piston 260 channel. The gas generator 270 is installed on the gas pipeline 280. The gas generated by the gas generator 270 is delivered to the piston 260 channel through the gas pipeline 280, which can keep the locking structures 200 released synchronously.

[0070] Usage process: During air transport, the fastener 210 is installed on the flight hangar, and the suspender 230 is connected to the container 300; the elastic element 213 pushes the unlocking end 223 to make the lock body 220 abut against the lower partition 215, thereby keeping the lock body 220 in a vertical state, restricting the rotation of the lock body 220, and making the buckle 231 engage with the locking end 222, thereby making the container 300 stably connected to the flight hangar 100.

[0071] When container 300 needs to be released, gas generator 270 is activated, allowing gas to enter the piston 260 channel and push piston 260 to move. This causes piston 260 to push unlocking end 223 to overcome the elastic potential energy of elastic element 213 and no longer restrict the rotation of lock body 220. Due to the weight of container 300, the hanging component 230 will generate a downward force, thereby driving lock body 220 to rotate around pivot 221 and release hanging component 230.

[0072] The lifting component 230 moves downward and separates from the locking body 220, causing the container 300 to detach from the flight rack 100.

[0073] Example 6 Reference Figure 16 As shown, this embodiment provides a flight pylon assembly, including a flight pylon 100 component as described in Embodiment 3, or Embodiment 4, or Embodiment 5, and a container 300. The container 300 is connected to a locking structure 200, that is, the container 300 and the flight pylon 100 form a detachable structure through the locking structure 200.

[0074] Reference Figure 17-25 As shown, the container 300 includes an outer box 310 and an inner box 320. The outer box 310 includes multiple panels that are detachably connected to form a storage space. The top of the outer box 310 has an opening. The inner box 320 is filled into the outer box 310 and is used to load cargo 327. The outer box 310 protects the inner box 320 and provides a connection node.

[0075] Reference Figure 22 As shown in the embodiment, the locking structure 200 has a first connecting portion 201 on the fixing member 210, which is connected to the outer casing 310. The hanging member 230 has a second connecting portion 202, which is connected to the flight hanger 100. The locking structure 200 also has a third connecting portion 203, which extends into the opening of the outer casing 310 and connects to the inner casing 320. The first connecting portion 201, the second connecting portion 202, and the third connecting portion 203 form a T-structure. It should be noted that... Figure 22 Only a simplified view of the lock structure 200 is shown in the image.

[0076] The flight pylon assembly provided in this embodiment allows the container 300 and the flight pylon 100 to form a detachable structure through the locking structure 200. This enables the container 300 and the flight pylon 100 to be disassembled, allowing the cargo 327 to be loaded into the container 300 in advance. Before and after flight transportation, only the container 300 and the flight pylon 100 need to be disassembled and reassembled, eliminating waiting time and improving transportation efficiency. The container 300 and the flight pylon 100 are separate structures, which can be matched with different types of containers 300 according to the cargo 327, increasing the versatility of cargo 327 transportation.

[0077] Specifically, the outer casing 310 has beveled ends to maintain an aerodynamic shape consistent with the flight pylon 100. The beveled front end of the outer casing 310 generates additional lift, thus increasing the overall lift of the aircraft. The beveled rear end of the outer casing 310 reduces pressure drag. During flight of the flight pylon 100 carrying the flight container 300, a low-pressure area forms at the rear of the fuselage, while the front is a high-pressure area, resulting in pressure drag. The beveled rear end guides the airflow to separate more smoothly and slowly, making the wake region narrower and more stable, thereby significantly reducing the suction force of the low-pressure area and greatly reducing pressure drag.

[0078] Specifically, refer to Figures 17-19 As shown, the outer casing 310 includes a bottom casing plate 311 and side casing plates 312 symmetrically arranged along the center of the bottom casing plate 311. The first connecting part 201 is connected to the side casing plates 312. The bottom casing plate 311 and the side casing plates 312 surround to form a receiving space with a top opening. The bottom casing plate 311 and the side casing plates 312 can be connected by bolts or snap-fit ​​connections to form a detachable connection, which facilitates the unloading and loading of the goods 327.

[0079] It should be noted that the container 300 in this embodiment is mainly used for transporting general cargo 327. (Refer to...) Figure 20 As shown, the inner box 320 includes a box body 321 and a mounting base plate 322; the mounting base plate 322 is installed inside the box body 321, and the mounting base plate 322 is provided with a slot 3223 for fixing goods 327. Goods 327 are loaded into the slot 3223 of the mounting base plate 322, and the slot 3223 limits the movement of goods 327, ensuring stability during transportation.

[0080] Specifically, refer to Figure 21 As shown, the bottom of the mounting base plate 322 is provided with a forklift transport slot 3221 to facilitate the loading and transfer of goods 327.

[0081] Specifically, the mounting base plate 322 has a first connecting hole 3222 on its side, and the housing 321 has a second connecting hole 3211 on its side. A connector passes through the first connecting hole 3222 and the housing 3211 to connect the mounting base plate 322 and the housing 321. The connector can be a pin, a screw, or other easily disassembled parts.

[0082] Specifically, the outer casing 310 contains a plurality of inner casings 320, such that the outline of the assembled inner casings 320 is adapted to the outline of the outer casing 310.

[0083] Usage process: The cargo 327 is installed onto the mounting base plate 322, and the cargo 327 is limited by the slot 3223; Use a forklift to transport the mounting base plate 322 containing goods 327 into the inner box 320, and then pack the inner box 320. Open the side panel 312 of the outer box 310 and load the inner box 320 onto the bottom box 311; Connect the side panel 312 to the bottom panel 311, and connect the third connecting part 203 to the inner box 320; The flight container 300 is transported to the designated position of the flight pylon 100 using a transport vehicle, and the second connecting part 202 is connected to the flight pylon 100.

[0084] Example 7 Reference Figure 16 As shown, this embodiment provides a flight rack assembly. It should be noted that the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 6 is that the inner box 320 in this embodiment has a different structure than the inner box 320 in embodiment 6, which enables the container 300 in this embodiment to transport liquids.

[0085] Reference Figure 23 As shown, the inner box 320 includes an outer shell 323 and a liquid logistics tank 324; the liquid logistics tank 324 has a closed structure and can store liquid. The liquid logistics tank 324 is provided with a liquid inlet 3241, a liquid outlet 3242, and a vent 3243. The liquid inlet 3241 and the liquid outlet 3242 allow the liquid logistics tank 324 to be filled with liquid or discharged with liquid, and the vent 3243 helps to maintain the pressure balance inside the liquid logistics tank 324 during the filling or discharge of liquid.

[0086] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 23 As shown, the end of the liquid logistics box 324 is recessed inward relative to the end of the outer shell 323 to form a space for accommodating the liquid inlet 3241, the liquid outlet 3242 and the vent 3243, thus avoiding interference when multiple inner boxes 320 are assembled.

[0087] Usage process: Open the vent 3243, inject the liquid to be transported into the liquid logistics tank 324 through the liquid inlet 3241, and then close the vent 3243; Pack each inner box 320; Open the side panel 312 and install the inner box 320 onto the bottom panel 311; Connect the side panel 312 to the bottom panel 311, and connect the third connecting part 203 to the inner box 320; The flight container 300 is transported to the designated position of the flight pylon 100 using a transport vehicle, and the second connecting part 202 is connected to the flight pylon 100.

[0088] Example 8 Reference Figure 16 As shown, this embodiment provides a flight rack assembly. It should be noted that the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 6 is that the inner box 320 and outer box 310 in this embodiment have different structures than the inner box 320 and outer box 310 in embodiment 6, which enables the container 300 in this embodiment to airdrop the inner box 320 in flight.

[0089] Reference Figure 24-26 As shown, the outer casing 310 includes two oppositely arranged side panels 312, and the first connecting part 201 is connected to the side panels 312; the side panels 312 form an accommodating space with a top opening and a bottom opening. The inner casing 320 can be released for airdrop through the bottom opening.

[0090] The inner container 320 includes an airdrop box 325 and an airdrop parachute 326. The airdrop parachute 326 is connected to the top of the airdrop box 325. When the airdrop parachute 326 is opened during the airdrop, the airdrop box 325 lands smoothly. The specific structure of the airdrop parachute and the method of opening the airdrop parachute 326 in the air can refer to existing airdrop technologies.

[0091] It should be noted that, in order to improve the safety of the inner container 320 when it lands, a cushioning pad can also be installed at the bottom of the airdrop container 325 for cushioning.

[0092] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in order to release the inner box 320 in the air, the third connecting part 203 and the airdrop box 325 can be connected by an electromagnetic connection or other methods that can be remotely unlocked.

[0093] Usage process: Load the cargo 327 that needs to be transported into the airdrop container 325; Install the airdrop parachute 326 onto the top of the airdrop box 325, assemble the side box panel 312 with the airdrop box 325, and connect the third connecting part 203 to the airdrop box 325. The flight container 300 is transported to the designated position of the flight rack 100 using a transport vehicle, and the second connecting part 202 of the mounting lug is connected to the flight rack 100. During flight, the connection between the third connector 203 and the airdrop box 325 is unlocked, the airdrop box 325 is released, and the airdrop box 325 is opened and dropped after it reaches the designated altitude.

[0094] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0095] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
