Description

Technology Field

[0002] The present invention relates to an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system, and more specifically, to an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system in which a drone take-off and landing facility and a parking space are formed on the upper floor of a building, wherein the take-off space and the landing space are configured to be separated for safety during take-off and landing, and a parking space is formed between the take-off space and the landing space. Background Technology

[0004] Drones are gaining attention as a next-generation means of transportation in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and research and development are being conducted in various forms, ranging from unmanned drones that do not carry people to manned drones that can carry people.

[0005] However, for the convenience of delivery, transportation, and traffic, there is an urgent need for takeoff, landing, and parking infrastructure that allows drones to freely take off, land, and park.

[0006] Since drones must be free of obstacles for safety during landing due to their flight characteristics, the landing area must be a space free of high obstacles.

[0007] In urban areas, due to the scarcity of large land spaces for drone landings, landing on the rooftop, where interference from obstacles is relatively minimal, is preferable.

[0008] However, in the case of the rooftop level, there was a concern that safety accidents could occur due to area limitations if takeoffs and landings were to take place simultaneously. The problem to be solved

[0010] The purpose of the present invention, which was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, is to provide an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system that can enhance convenience for taking off and landing as well as parking in an urban area by installing a landing unit for landing on a rooftop floor and installing a take-off unit on an intermediate floor separately from the landing space to minimize interference between take-off and landing and prevent safety accidents in advance, and forming a hangar unit capable of parking multiple drones on multiple floors between the landing unit and the take-off unit. means of solving the problem

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the urban drone take-off and landing and parking system according to the present invention is an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system formed in the upper space of a dedicated space of a building; comprising: a landing unit formed on the rooftop floor; a take-off unit formed on an intermediate floor; a vertical movement means for lifting and lowering a drone while moving vertically between the landing unit and the take-off unit; a hangar unit formed on at least one floor between the landing unit and the take-off unit for parking and managing the drone; a horizontal movement means for moving the drone horizontally between the landing unit or the take-off unit and the vertical movement means, and between the hangar unit and the vertical movement means; and a control unit for controlling the operation of the vertical movement means and the horizontal movement means.

[0013] The above vertical moving means is formed as a lift unit having a machine room formed at the bottom, and is characterized in that the lift unit is formed at the same level as the floor level of the landing unit without protruding onto the vertiport of the rooftop floor.

[0014] The above landing unit is formed on the rooftop level, and the above takeoff unit is formed on the intermediate level vertically below one side adjacent to the landing unit, so that the landing and takeoff are separated by layers, thereby preventing safety accidents during the takeoff and landing process.

[0015] The above horizontal movement means moves the drone horizontally between the landing unit and the lift unit, between the lift unit and the hangar unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff unit; it is characterized by being composed of a fixed movement method in which the movement means is fixedly installed on the floor or side, such as a rail or conveyor belt, and an autonomous movement method equipped with wheels.

[0016] The above control unit is characterized by comprising: a control module for controlling the take-off and landing of a drone; a movement schedule management module for allocating a hangar unit to be parked for a drone that has landed at a landing unit, determining a movement schedule, and determining and managing the movement schedule of a drone that has requested take-off; and a movement control module for controlling the vertical or horizontal movement of a drone that has landed at a landing unit to move to a hangar unit, or controlling the vertical or horizontal movement of a drone parked at a hangar unit to move to a take-off unit according to the determined movement schedule.

[0017] The above lift unit further includes a cover on its upper portion; the cover is formed to slide vertically along a rail structure; a movable rail is formed integrally with the cover and moves along a fixed rail on both lower sides, and a guide rail formed on the edge of the loading plate of the lift unit pushes the movable rail upward, thereby opening the cover upward; normally, the movable rail of the cover is mounted on the fixed rail and remains in a closed state, but the guide rail pushes the movable rail upward to open the cover only when the loading plate of the lift unit moves to the top floor. Effects of the invention

[0019] The present invention provides an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system for the take-off, landing, and parking of drones in the upper space of urban buildings, thereby providing a drone take-off, landing, and parking space suitable for complex urban situations.

[0020] In particular, by installing a landing unit on the rooftop floor and a takeoff unit on an intermediate floor separately from the landing space to minimize interference between takeoff and landing and prevent safety accidents, and by forming a hangar unit that can park multiple drones on multiple floors between the landing unit and the takeoff unit, an excellent effect is achieved that enhances convenience for taking off, landing, and parking in urban areas.

[0023] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0024] The urban drone parking system according to the present invention can be formed in the upper space of a dedicated space of a building. That is, it can be formed using the upper space of a building such as a multi-unit building, a commercial building, an apartment, or a hospital.

[0025] Accordingly, an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system according to the present invention can be formed in the space where the rooftop floor of the building is located, a vehicle parking lot is formed in the underground space, a dedicated space of the building is formed above the parking lot, and an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system according to the present invention can be formed above the dedicated space.

[0026] Here, the term "drone" is defined as a concept that includes not only unmanned drones without a passenger but also Personal Air Vehicles (PAVs), which are passenger drones capable of carrying a person for movement.

[0027] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a take-off, landing, and parking system for an urban drone according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] The cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 shows that a parking lot for automobiles is provided in the basement, and a dedicated space for residential or commercial facilities such as offices, sales facilities, and residences is provided in the ground floor, and an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system according to the present invention is applied on the upper part of the dedicated space.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 1, the urban drone take-off and landing and parking system according to the present invention may be configured to include a landing unit (10) formed on a rooftop floor, a take-off unit (20) formed on an intermediate floor, a vertical movement means (30) for lifting and lowering a drone while moving vertically between the landing unit and the take-off unit, a hangar unit (50) formed on each floor between the landing unit and the take-off unit for parking and managing the drone, a horizontal movement means (40) for moving the drone horizontally between the landing unit or the take-off unit and the vertical movement means, and between the hangar unit and the vertical movement means, and a control unit (60) for controlling the operation of the vertical movement means and the horizontal movement means.

[0030] The present invention is characterized by physically separating the take-off and landing areas, as there is a risk of safety accidents, such as collisions, occurring during the take-off and landing process when the drone take-off and landing areas are located in the same space.

[0031] Accordingly, the landing pad unit can be formed on the rooftop level, and the takeoff pad unit can be formed on the intermediate level.

[0032] Here, the intermediate floor may be located on the upper floor of the building's exclusive space, and a vertical movement means and a parking unit may be formed between the intermediate floor and the rooftop floor.

[0033] FIG. 2 is a plan view of an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2a is a plan view of a rooftop floor where a landing pad unit is located, FIG. 2b is a plan view of a floor where a hangar unit is located, and FIG. 2c is a plan view of an intermediate floor where a take-off pad unit is located.

[0034] A vertical movement means (30) is formed in the central part, a landing unit (10) is formed on one side adjacent to the vertical movement means, and a takeoff unit (20) can be formed in the intermediate layer of the vertical lower side adjacent to the other side of the vertical movement means.

[0035] The above landing unit (10) may be configured to include at least one unit landing module (110) to which a drone is moved for landing, and the above takeoff unit (20) may be configured to include at least one unit takeoff module (210) to which a drone is moved for takeoff.

[0036] An embodiment of the present invention is in which the landing unit (10) is composed of two unit landing modules (110) and the takeoff unit (20) is composed of two unit takeoff modules (210), but the number of unit landing modules and unit takeoff modules can be designed in various ways considering the floor plan area and number of floors of the building.

[0037] The above vertical movement means (30) may be composed of a lift unit that moves vertically between an intermediate floor and a top floor where the takeoff unit (20) is located.

[0038] Here, the uppermost floor is defined as the floor below the rooftop floor where the vertiport (landing area) is located.

[0039] Generally, since the machine room is located above the elevator unit on the top floor, if the rooftop vertiport is formed at a position lower than the machine room, the machine room protrudes above the rooftop, which can act as an obstacle during drone landing and cause safety issues.

[0040] In contrast, in the case of the lift, the machine room is located at the bottom and the lifter can be configured to move a fixed plate on the lifter up and down, so the machine room can be formed in a structure that does not protrude above the lift.

[0041] Therefore, instead of an elevator method in which the machine room is exposed at the top, it is preferable to configure the vertical movement means (30) as a lift method that can be constructed without an upper machine room in order to ensure safety when the drone lands.

[0042] More specifically, when the vertical moving means (30) is configured as a lift unit, it may be configured to include a loading plate (310) on which a horizontal moving means (40) is formed, a lifting lifter (320) coupled to the lower part of the loading plate to move the loading plate up and down, and a machine room unit (330) formed at the lower part of the lifting lifter to provide a driving force for moving the lifting lifter up and down.

[0043] The above horizontal movement means (40) is responsible for moving the drone horizontally between the landing unit and the lift unit vertically, between the lift unit and the hangar unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff unit.

[0044] The above horizontal moving means (40) can be classified into a fixed moving method in which a moving means is fixedly installed on the floor or side, such as a rail or conveyor belt, and an autonomous moving method equipped with wheels.

[0045] First, we will examine the fixed movement method using the conveyor belt method as a representative example of the fixed movement method.

[0046] For the takeoff, landing, and storage of drones, horizontal movement is required between the landing pad unit and the lift unit, between the lift unit and the hangar unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff pad unit.

[0047] Accordingly, a conveyor belt drive module (41, 42, 43, 45) can be mounted on the bottom surface of each of the landing unit, hangar unit, lift unit, and takeoff unit, and a drone can be loaded and moved on the conveyor belt drive module.

[0048] FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a conveyor belt drive module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention formed on the bottom of a lift unit and the bottom of a hangar unit, respectively.

[0049] FIG. 3 illustrates conveyor belt drive modules (42, 43) formed on the unit takeoff module of the takeoff unit and the bottom of the lift unit, respectively, but conveyor belt drive modules (41, 45) may be formed on the bottom of the landing unit and the bottom of the hangar unit, respectively.

[0050] Therefore, the same structure as in Fig. 3 can be applied between the landing pad unit and the lift unit, and between the lift unit and the hangar unit.

[0051] Although the structure may be configured such that a drone moves by having a conveyor belt drive unit in contact between the landing unit and the lift unit, between the lift unit and the hangar unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff unit, a connecting path (not shown) may be formed between the landing unit and the lift unit, between the lift unit and the hangar unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff unit, respectively, and the drone may be configured to move horizontally through the connecting path. In this case, a conveyor belt drive unit may also be formed in each of the connecting paths.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 3, each conveyor belt drive module may be configured to include a conveyor belt (410) that moves in one direction by having a moving stage, a drive motor (420) that drives the conveyor belt, and a motor controller (not shown) that controls the operation of the drive motor, and the horizontal movement means control module (620) of the control unit (60) can control the operation to control the movement of the drone in the horizontal direction.

[0053] The above conveyor belt (410) may further include a plate (430) on which a drone is loaded, and the plate (430) moves horizontally according to the forward and reverse rotation of the conveyor belt (410).

[0054] Depending on the forward and reverse rotation of the conveyor belt (410), the drone loaded on the plate (430) can be moved horizontally and can be moved vertically through the lift unit (320) and elevator unit (310).

[0055] Figure 4 illustrates two conveyor belts configured as a pair.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 4a, when two conveyor belts are configured as a pair, the base of the drone is loaded between the two conveyor belts, so horizontal movement of the drone is possible without a separate plate (430). Here, if the two conveyor belts are formed higher than the floor surface, the base of the drone can be loaded by coming into contact with the two conveyor belts upon landing.

[0057] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 4b, a separate plate (430) may be positioned to engage with the conveyor belt (410) and configured to move horizontally according to the forward and reverse rotation of the conveyor belt (410).

[0058] FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a horizontal movement means according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention moving horizontally by an autonomous movement method.

[0059] As illustrated in FIG. 5, to illustrate horizontal movement between the lift unit (30) and the unit takeoff module (210) of the takeoff unit, the unit landing module (110), the unit takeoff module (210), and the hangar unit (50) may be configured to include a plate fixing part (480) formed on the edge.

[0060] Here, the mobile lifter (470) can move horizontally between the landing unit and the lift unit, between the lift unit and the hangar unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff unit while the plate (410) loaded with the drone is lifted up.

[0061] The plate fixing part (480) above serves to fix the plate (410) when the plate (410) is lifted down, and can be configured to protrude from the bottom in the shape of a protrusion or a band.

[0062] The upper part of the plate fixing part (480) may further include a cushioning material capable of absorbing shock to prevent damage caused by impact during the loading process of the plate (430), and the cushioning material may be composed of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone.

[0063] The height of the plate fixing part (480) is formed to be greater than the total height of the movable lifter (470) when the lifting plate (471) of the movable lifter (470) is lifted down, so that the movable lifter (470) can move in the lifted-down state, and when the main plate (410) is placed on the plate fixing part (480), the height can be configured to be the same as the floor surface of the corresponding floor.

[0064] The above horizontal movement means may be configured as a robot-type mobile lifter (470) capable of moving horizontally along a rail or autonomous driving.

[0065] When configured to enable autonomous driving, the moving lifter (470) may be equipped with a wheel (474) capable of self-movement, a lifter (472) for lifting up / down a plate, a lifting plate (471) on which a plate is loaded from the upper part of the lifter, and a controller (not shown) for controlling the operation of the wheel, and may be configured to lift up / down and autonomously move the main plate (430).

[0066] Here, if the upper moving lifter (470) is configured to move along a rail, the wheel (474) may be configured as a pulley (not shown) that moves along a rail (not shown) formed on the floor surface.

[0067] The above controller may be configured to include a wheel control module that controls the operation of the wheel for horizontal movement of the above-mentioned mobile lifter (470), and a wireless control module that receives a wheel control command for autonomous movement of the wheel in real time via wireless communication and provides the wheel control command to the wheel control module.

[0068] The above wireless control module receives the wheel control command from the control unit (60) and provides it to the wheel control module so that the mobile lifter (470) can be controlled to move autonomously.

[0069] In addition, the wheel may be configured as a multi-axis moving wheel or an omniwheel capable of moving in two axes (X-axis and Y-axis) as well as in one axis direction. When the multi-axis moving wheel is configured as a wheel, the wheel is coupled to a rotation axis, and the rotation axis rotates according to the direction of travel so that two-axis movement is possible.

[0070] The above-mentioned moving lifter (470) moves the plate (430) loaded with a drone horizontally between the landing unit and the elevator unit, between the elevator unit and the hangar unit, between the elevator unit and the lift unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff unit.

[0071] A drone parked in the hangar unit (50) is lifted up along with a plate via the aforementioned mobile lifter (470) and moves horizontally into the elevator unit (310), and then moves vertically to an intermediate floor where the takeoff unit is located via the aforementioned elevator unit (310).

[0072] Then, the lifted plate (430) is moved horizontally to the unit takeoff module (210), and the plate (430) is lifted down to load the plate (430) onto the plate fixing part (480). Accordingly, the drone loaded on the plate is loaded onto the unit takeoff module (210), and the preparation for takeoff is completed.

[0073] As described above, when the plate (430) is loaded onto the plate fixing part (480), the moving lifter (470) can be controlled to move a drone parked in another hangar unit to the unit takeoff module (210) or to move a drone landed in the unit landing module (110) to the hangar unit (50).

[0074] Here, as in the present embodiment, the structure may be configured such that the drone moves in contact between the landing unit and the lift unit, between the lift unit and the hangar unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff unit, but a connecting path (not shown) may be formed between the landing unit and the lift unit, between the lift unit and the hangar unit, and between the lift unit and the takeoff unit, respectively, and the drone may be configured to move horizontally through the connecting path.

[0075] In the case where the above horizontal moving means (40) is a fixed moving method, a conveyor belt, rail, etc. are installed in the above connecting path so that a drone can be moved through the above connecting path.

[0076] Meanwhile, the hangar unit (50) can be formed in multiple layers as a maintenance space for parking or maintaining landed drones, and as a space for charging drones in the case of electric drones.

[0077] When parking a drone that has landed in the above-mentioned hangar unit (50), when the drone lands in the unit landing module (110) of the landing area unit, the drone is moved horizontally to the lift unit (30) by the horizontal moving means (40), and the lift unit (30) is lowered and moved vertically to the floor where the designated hangar unit (50) is located, and then moved horizontally into the hangar unit (50) to be parked.

[0078] And when a drone parked in a specific hangar unit takes off, it can move horizontally into the lift unit (30) by means of a horizontal movement means (40), then move vertically to the middle where the takeoff unit (20) is located, and then move horizontally into the unit takeoff module (210) and take off.

[0079] FIG. 6 is a block diagram schematically illustrating an urban drone take-off and landing and parking system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 6, the control unit (60) may be configured to include a control module (610) for controlling the take-off and landing of a drone, a movement schedule management module (620) for assigning a hangar unit to be parked for a drone that has landed in a landing unit and determining a movement schedule, and a movement schedule management module (630) for determining and managing a movement schedule for a drone that has requested take-off, and a movement control module (630) for controlling vertical or horizontal movement of a drone that has landed in a landing unit (10) according to the determined movement schedule to move it to a hangar unit, or controlling vertical or horizontal movement of a drone parked in a hangar unit to move it to a take-off unit (20).

[0081] The above control module (610) is responsible for assigning a unit landing module to a drone requesting a landing through communication with the drone requesting a landing, controlling the drone to land on the assigned unit landing module, and assigning a unit takeoff module to a drone requesting a takeoff through communication.

[0082] The above movement schedule management module (620) identifies a drone that has landed on a unit landing module (110) of a landing site unit under the control of the control module (610), assigns a hangar unit (50) where the identified drone will be parked, and determines a movement schedule to move to the assigned hangar based on the movement schedule information of the drones.

[0083] The above-mentioned hangar unit (50) may be installed on multiple floors and may be configured to include a common hangar where multiple drones are parked in common and a dedicated hangar where only specific drones can be parked exclusively. The above-mentioned movement schedule management module (620) can control the allocation of a dedicated hangar if a dedicated hangar is designated when a drone is identified, and if a dedicated hangar is not designated, to select and allocate one of the empty hangars among the common hangars.

[0084] And when a hangar is allocated, the above movement schedule management module (620) determines a movement schedule by considering the real-time movement schedules of the vertical movement means (30) and the horizontal movement means (40), and transmits the determined movement schedule information to the above movement control module (630).

[0085] When the above movement control module (630) receives movement schedule information, it upgrades the existing real-time movement schedule information and moves the drone to the assigned hangar according to the movement schedule.

[0086] And when there is a request for takeoff of a drone parked in a hangar, the above movement schedule management module (620) allocates a unit takeoff module considering the standby status of the takeoff unit, determines a movement schedule including the movement order considering the movement schedules of other drones, and transmits it to the above movement control module (630), and when the above movement control module (630) receives the movement schedule information, it upgrades the existing real-time movement schedule information and moves the drone to the allocated unit takeoff module according to the movement schedule.

[0087] The intermediate floor where the takeoff unit is installed may further include a waiting room space where passengers waiting to board the drone can wait, and passengers can wait until the drone parked in the hangar is moved to the assigned unit takeoff module.

[0088] In addition, the above movement schedule management module (620) can calculate the waiting time information required until the drone moves to the unit takeoff module according to the assigned unit takeoff module information and the movement schedule when the unit takeoff module of the drone that requested takeoff is assigned and the movement schedule is determined, and transmit it to the registered passenger terminal.

[0089] Fig. 7 schematically illustrates the movement of a drone by a conveyor belt system, and Fig. 8 schematically illustrates the movement of a landed drone to an assigned hangar.

[0090] The embodiments of FIGS. 7 and 8 are for cases where the horizontal moving means (40) is configured as a conveyor belt type, but it is obvious that it can be applied as a fixed moving method such as a rail type, as well as an autonomous moving method equipped with wheels that moves on its own.

[0091] Referring to FIG. 7, when a drone lands on a unit landing module (110) under the control of a control module (610), a movement schedule management module (620) identifies the landed drone and assigns a hangar to park it.

[0092] And the above movement schedule management module (620) determines the movement schedule of the drone to which the above hangar is assigned by considering the real-time movement schedule of the vertical movement means (30) and the horizontal movement means (40).

[0093] More specifically, the movement schedule management module (620) generates movement schedule information for the drone by considering the real-time movement schedule of the vertical movement of the lift unit (30) and the horizontal movement means (40), and transmits it to the movement control module (630), and the movement control module (630) updates the movement schedule information with the current schedule information to control movement with the new schedule information.

[0094] Accordingly, the movement control module (630) drives the horizontal movement means (40) on the drone landed on the unit landing module (110) according to the transmitted movement schedule information, and the drone landed on the unit landing module (110) is moved horizontally to the lift unit (320) according to the operation of the horizontal movement means.

[0095] Then, when the lift unit (30) moves to the rooftop floor, the drone that landed on the unit landing module (110) moves horizontally into the lift unit (30), and after the lift unit (30) moves downward to the floor where the assigned hangar is located, the horizontal movement means (40) is driven to move the drone horizontally into the hangar and park it.

[0096] Here, the horizontal movement means (40) has conveyor belt drive modules (41, 42, 43, 45) formed in the unit landing module (110), unit takeoff module (210), lift unit (30), and hangar unit (50), and the movement control module (630) sequentially controls each of the conveyor belt drive modules so that the drone can move horizontally to a desired location.

[0097] Figure 9 schematically illustrates a drone parked in a hangar moving to an assigned unit takeoff module.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 9, when a drone parked in a hangar requests to take off, the movement schedule management module (620) assigns a unit takeoff module (210) to the drone, generates a movement schedule to move the drone to the assigned unit takeoff module (210) by taking into account the current real-time movement schedule, and transmits it to the movement control module (630).

[0099] Here, landing and takeoff requests can be performed through an application installed on a user terminal with management authority over the drone, and requests can be made by selecting menus such as landing request and takeoff request through the application.

[0100] In addition, if the identification information of the user terminal and the drone is mapped and stored, the drone is identified when the user is identified, so the request information can be easily verified.

[0101] When the lift unit (30) moves to the floor where the assigned hangar is located according to the above movement schedule information, the horizontal movement means (40) is driven so that the drone parked in the hangar unit (50) moves horizontally into the lift unit (30).

[0102] Subsequently, after the lift unit (30) descends to the intermediate floor where the takeoff unit (20) is located, the horizontal movement means (40) is driven to horizontally move the drone to the assigned unit takeoff module (210).

[0103] When the drone is moved to the unit takeoff module (210) as described above, the movement schedule management module (620) sends an alarm to a user with management authority over the drone notifying that the drone is ready to take off.

[0104] FIG. 10 illustrates a lift unit having a cover formed thereon according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0105] Since the lift unit (30) has a structure without a machine room at the top, when the loading plate (310) of the lift unit (30) moves to the bottom, the top remains open and snow, rain, dust, etc. can enter.

[0106] Therefore, if the upper cover is configured to open only when the loading plate (310) of the lift unit moves to the rooftop floor, and the cover remains closed when moving to a floor below the rooftop floor, the inflow of foreign matter into the upper area can be minimized.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 10, the cover (740) may be formed to slide up and down along a rail structure, and the cover (730) may be configured such that a moving rail (710) that moves along a fixed rail (730) is formed on both lower sides, and a guide rail (720) formed on the edge of the loading plate (310) of the lift unit (30) pushes the moving rail (710) upward, thereby opening the cover (730) upward.

[0108] The above cover (730) is formed integrally with the lower moving rail (710), and normally the moving rail (710) of the cover (730) is mounted on the fixed rail (730) and remains in a closed state, but can be configured to open only when the lift unit (30) moves to the top floor.

[0109] More specifically, as the guide rail (720) formed on the loading plate (310) of the lift unit moves upward, it comes into contact with the moving rail (710), thereby pushing the moving rail (710) upward, and accordingly, the cover (730) formed integrally with the moving rail (710) moves upward and opens.

[0110] Since the above moving rail (710) and guide rail (720) are formed in the border area, they do not affect the horizontal movement of the drone loaded on the loading plate (310) of the lift unit, and the cover (740) is opened only when the lift unit (30) moves to the top floor, and otherwise, when the lift unit (30) is located at the bottom, it can always remain closed.

[0111] Although the detailed description of the present invention described above has been explained with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention within the scope of the spirit and technical scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit and technical scope of the present invention.
