AUTOMATED POSTAL BOX FOR PARCEL DELIVERY BY DRONES AND HELICOPTERS

摘要

The field of application of the proposed invention is the delivery of parcels by drones and helicopters without the personal involvement of their recipient. This will contribute to a 24-hour postal service, including at night, without engaging additional staff from the recipient. The application of the automated postal box is available worldwide, where it may be needed and where the delivery of parcels by drones and helicopters will be possible. The box also can be differentiated as a refrigeration chamber, for food supplies and as an armoured strong-box for the delivery of high-value parcel deliveries. The automated postal box represents a metal box with removable platform lid on the top side, sliding roller blind with counterweight on the outside of one side of the box, flexible skin with a flap and calibrated opening, locking cartridges at both end positions of the platform and the blind, lockable side door on one side of the case and an electronic control module. By means of the electronic control module, the following actions are carried out: landing control of a drone, parcel release and its departure; unlocking the platform with parcel for its movement downwards; switching on the drive mechanism of the roller blind for the closing of the box on top; sending a message to the supplier and the recipient of successful completion of delivery; managing video surveillance in real time of the process and recording it on a video recorder.
