[0001] INNOVATION IN A DRONE STRUCTURE WITH MULTI-CARRYING CAPABiLITY

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] This invention relates to a drone structure with a multi-carrying capability that enables the transport of various loads from any type of terrain to the desired location via an operator. Thanks to its unique body structure, the invention allows the customization of hooks and handle apparatuses for the size, type, and transport precision of the load being carried, along with modifications to the carrying configuration of the body.

[0004] The invention aims to enhance efficiency and safety in load transportation for applications such as air cargo transport, emergency aid operations, and access to challenging geographical conditions.

[0005] Prior Art

[0006] Currently, there are multiple methods for transporting goods and loads. The traffic congestion and time loss associated with land transportation have directed people toward the more convenient air transportation method. In recent years, drones, initially preferred for entertainment, design, cinematography, and indoor / outdoor shoots, have rapidly entered the field of transportation.

[0007] Although the mentioned drones have numerous methods and techniques for transportation, a stable carrying system has not been developed. Existing prototypes have not been made available for public or private use. The inability of tested drones to serve more than one or two purposes simultaneously has driven the inventor toward developing a novel method. For example, patent WO2018129048A1 discloses a drone carrying system that includes a carrier pod designed to transport passengers or packages while enclosed. The carrier pod has a first connection interface at the topmost end, featuring one or more physical connection elements and a flight-connection element. The drone includes a downward-facing second connection interface with one or more second physical connection elements compatible with the first physical connection elements. However, the preference for a wireless design in transporting humans or various loads necessitates the use of heavy batteries (electric power sources) and cabin structures, leading to additional weight, higher costs, and the need for larger-scale usage.

[0008] This invention aims to present an innovative solution that optimizes load transportation processes, making them more precise, efficient, and secure. It is particularly designed for industrial applications in air cargo transportation, emergency aid operations, and other scenarios requiring access to challenging geographical areas.

[0021] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0022] The invention is an innovative drone structure with a multi-carrying capability (1) characterized by the following:

[0023] Drone Units: At least one drone (2) symmetrically or oppositely mounted on the body (3) to keep the center of gravity balanced. These drones are controlled via a remote-operated controller by an operator.

[0024] Body: A central structural unit (3) equipped with a rail mechanism (3.3) allowing forward-backward movement of the hook (3.4) and handle (3.5). The rail system ensures that multiple drones (2) can collectively lift and transport loads without disturbing balance.

[0025] Electric Cable: An electric cable (3.1) attached to the body (3) ensures the transmission of electrical energy required for the drones’ operation.

[0026] Camera: At least one camera (3.2) mounted on the body (3) to facilitate easy control and monitoring by the operator.

[0027] Rail System: A rail (3.3) installed in the center of the body (3) allows attachment apparatuses to move along the axis and enables adjustments for load size and type.

[0028] Hook and Handle: A hook (3.4) designed for secure load handling, adjustable manually by the operator. A handle (3.5) designed for secure load gripping, also adjustable manually by the operator.

[0029] Fuel Pipe: A fuel pipe (3.6) connected to the body (3) supplies the drones with fuel when necessary.

[0030] The invention is a load-carrying platform that integrates multiple drones. This platform securely and efficiently attaches to drones (2) using a specialized system. Designed to handle specific weight capacities, it optimizes the load transport process.

[0031] The body (3) allows multifunctional use, enabling the operator to adjust the attachments according to the dimensions, type, and sensitivity of the load. Once the load is securely attached via the hook (3.4) or handle (3.5), the operator initiates the system. Using drones (2), the invention lifts off and draws the required power through the electric cable (3.1) connected to a generator or power grid. Additionally, it can refuel via the fuel pipe (3.6) when needed.

[0032] When a height adjustment is required, cameras (3.2) on the top, bottom, and sides of the body (3) assist the operator in safely navigating the load to the desired location.

[0033] The control mechanism allows for fine-tuning flight parameters, ensuring secure and balanced transportation. Designed for versatility, the body (3) is optimized for various weather conditions and diverse load types.

[0034] The horizontally adjustable hook (3.4) and handle (3.5) enable the safe holding and transport of loads, while their vertical movement capabilities allow precise load lifting and lowering. The invention is remotely controlled or managed via specialized software, optimizing the movement of hooks (3.4), handles (3.5), load capacity, and flight parameters.
