Drone Receiving Box With Auto-Unloading and Secure Door Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional aircraft delivery systems, such as those using unmanned aerial vehicles, cannot automatically unload articles at a destination, requiring manual intervention during the transfer process.
Innovation Solution
A device for receiving articles, equipped with a wireless communication module for unlocking and controlling a door, a delivery judgment module for capacity assessment, and a conveying device for automatic article handling, enables automatic unloading and secure storage of delivered articles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual intervention is used during article transfer process, then the aircraft can deliver articles, but the unloading process requires manual operation and cannot be automated
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving device autonomously performs unloading operations by itself. The wireless communication module automatically performs unlocking matching with the aircraft, the door control module automatically opens/closes the door, and the conveying device automatically transfers articles from the aircraft to the box body without requiring manual intervention at any stage of the unloading process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with an automated control system. The wireless communication module uses electromagnetic signals for unlocking matching, the door control module uses automated actuation mechanisms, and the conveying device uses automated transfer mechanisms, substituting the need for manual mechanical manipulation throughout the unloading process.
2Productivity
If the door is kept open for article transfer, then articles can be delivered, but security and protection of articles are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The door control module opens the door only after the aircraft is properly positioned and before the article transfer begins. During the transfer process, the door remains open to allow efficient delivery. After the conveying device completes the article transfer, the door control module automatically closes the door. This preliminary and sequential control ensures both efficient delivery and article security.
Solution Approach 2:
The door control module operates based on feedback from the wireless communication module and conveying device status. The door is opened when unlocking matching succeeds and articles need to be transferred, and closed when the conveying device has completed the transfer, creating a feedback-controlled system that balances productivity and security.
3Productivity
If capacity checking is performed before delivery, then box body capacity is optimized, but the delivery process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving device autonomously performs capacity checking and judgment without external intervention. The capacity judgment module automatically detects whether the box body has sufficient capacity before article transfer begins, and the delivery indication module automatically provides feedback to the aircraft about whether delivery is permitted, enabling the system to self-optimize its delivery operations.

AI summary
A method and device for receiving the article and a method and system for delivering article are provided in the disclosure. The device for receiving the article (200) includes: a box body (10); a door (20), arranged on the box body (10); and a wireless communication module, configured to perform unlocking matching with an aircraft (100), control the door (20) to be in an open state after unlocking matching succeeds, and send a delivery instruction to the aircraft (100). The technical problem where an article cannot be automatically unloaded after being delivered to a destination is solved.
