[0004] Prior Art

[0005] Today, various types of vehicles are widely used around the world. These vehicles require sophisticated transmission channels to transport essential resources such as water, fuel, electricity, and telephone lines. The significance and variety of these transmission channels are detailed below:

[0006] Water Transmission Channels:

[0007] Water, essential for humanity, must be efficiently transported for industries and operations. Water transmission channels typically involve components such as hoses, pipes, and tanks, which ensure water delivery from reservoirs to vehicles and onward to the point of use.

[0008] Fuel Transmission Channels:

[0009] Fuel is critical for vehicle operation. These channels facilitate the transfer of fuel from storage to vehicles and are commonly used in applications ranging from gas stations to ships and airplanes. They consist of pipes made from specialized materials to ensure safe transport.

[0010] Electricity Transmission Channels:

[0011] Electricity serves as a fundamental energy source for many vehicle types. Electrical transmission channels distribute power from vehicle batteries to consumers and are vital in cars, trains, and other electric-powered vehicles. These systems include cables, connectors, and transformers.

[0012] Telephone Line Transmission Channels:

[0013] With advancing technology, communication tools have diversified. In-vehicle telephone transmission channels enable communication and ensure safe conversations for drivers. Integrated systems like Bluetooth and onboard telephony are examples of these channels.

[0014] Technological Advances:

[0015] Emerging technologies such as smart transportation systems and autonomous vehicles have made these transmission channels more efficient and safer. Sensors, remote management systems, and automation allow smarter management of water, fuel, electricity, and telephone lines.

[0016] Transmission channels that transport resources like water, fuel, electricity, and communication lines are essential for daily life and industrial operations. These channels are continually evolving with technology to become more efficient, safer, and eco-friendly. Revolutionary methods, such as the one described in this invention, aim to create innovative energy transport systems and sustainable transportation networks. Figures Description

[0030] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0031] The invention (1) is a method for transporting pipelines or cables used for transmitting resources such as water, fuel, electricity, and telephone lines (2) via drones (4) equipped with adjustable clamp arms (4.1). The method incorporates a specially designed transmission tower (3), which holds the designated transmission tools at a specific height above the ground, offering advantages such as improved occupational safety, portability, lightweight construction, durability, and high energy efficiency.

[0032] Key components of the invention include:

[0033] Transmission Tool (2): Facilitates the transfer of resources like grain, coal, sand, or fluids such as water and fuel, as well as electrical and telephone cables, between an energy-supplying unit (B) and an example vehicle (A).

[0034] Transmission Tower (3): A structure installed by an operator to hold the transmission tool (2) above the ground during transfer.

[0035] Input Slot (3.1): Located at the top of the transmission tower (3), connects the transmission tool (2) to the tower.

[0036] Protective Channel (3.2): Ensures the safe passage of the transmission tool (2) between the input (3.1) and output (3.3) slots.

[0037] Output Slot (3.3): Located at the bottom of the tower (3), connects the tower to the example vehicle (A).

[0038] Rotating Panel (3.4): Positioned at the lower region of the transmission tower (3), it attaches one end to the example vehicle (A) and the other end to the tower (3). This panel adjusts the tower's angle to maintain stability at a 90° position on uneven terrains.

[0039] Drone (4): A drone wrapped around the transmission tower (3), operates sequentially to hold the transmission tools (2) in the air and facilitate transfer. Adjustable Clamp Arm (4.1): Attached to the bottom of the drone (4), one end fixed, and the other in a clamp shape. This mechanism secures various diameters of transmission tools (2) within its structure for transport.

[0040] This invention (1) provides a method to simplify the transportation of transmission tools (2) using drone (4) technology. Multiple drones (4) can safely and effectively carry transmission tools (2), such as electrical cables or fuel pipelines, wrapped around the transmission tower (3) to designated locations. This is particularly useful for tasks like energy line maintenance, repair, or installation.

[0041] The adjustable clamp arm (4.1), mounted at the bottom of the drone (4), is designed to transport energy lines. While flying toward the target energy line, the drone (4) activates the mechanism, enabling safe transport of the transmission tool (2) as it is deployed from the transmission tower (3). Control systems allow the drone (4) to release, retrieve, or adjust the height of the transmission tool (2).
