Cargo transportation method based on unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a cargo transportation method based on an unmanned aerial vehicle. A flight control system used for controlling flight posture, a first detection component used for detecting the flight position and a carrying component used for carrying a cargo (2) are arranged on the unmanned aerial vehicle. The cargo transportation method comprises the following steps that a first detection component detects the flight position of the unmanned aerial vehicle (1) and sends a signal to the flight control system; the flight control system receives a detection signal of the first detection component and judges whether the unmanned aerial vehicle (1) reaches the preset unloading position or not; if the preset cargo loading position is reached, a cargo unloading instruction is sent out to control the loading component to perform automatic cargo unloading. The cargo transportation method of the unmanned aerial vehicle has the advantages that the unmanned aerial vehicle can realize the independent automatic cargo loading without landing on the ground; the labor cooperation is not needed; the waiting after the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches the cargo unloading position and the misoperation in the cargo unloading process can be avoided, so that the cargo unloading efficiency and the reliability of the unmanned aerial vehicle are improved; the cargo unloading cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle transportation, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle-based cargo transportation method. Background technique [0002] Unmanned aircraft, referred to as "UAV", is a flight device controlled by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device. Civilian UAVs have a wide range of applications, including aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, observation of wild animals, monitoring of infectious diseases, surveying and mapping, news reports, power inspections, disaster relief, film and television shooting, etc. [0003] Among the various UAV applications mentioned above, express transportation can greatly save manpower and material resources and improve transportation efficiency. Therefore, UAV freight may become a more mainstream transportation method in the future. For the current UAV, the usual transport...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this process, the UAV mainly plays the role of transportation on the way. At the beginning and end of the transportation, personnel are required to cooperate, which takes up a lot of manpower. Especially at the unloading location, the receiving personnel often need to have certain unloading experience. In order to avoid misuse during the unloading process and make the drone unable to take off normally

On the other hand, if the receiving personnel are not at the unloading location when the drone arrives, the drone needs to stay at the unloading location for a long time until the receiving personnel arrive and take out the goods before they can be re-launched and returned. The efficiency of the drone is greatly affected
