AUTONOMOUS GROUND STATION INTERFACING AERIAL DELIVERY

摘要

To provide an autonomous ground station (20) for interfacing aerial delivery, which handles autonomously the reception of a smart parcel box (21) from a drone (22), then delivering each content in each sub-parcel to a specific person, and returning back the empty smart parcels to the drone (22). The station (20) is made of many empty coupled in-out columns (30) opened to receive boxes (21) from drones to move inside the machine (20), wherein each box (21) is made of cells (24), containing sub-parcels, to be delivered via a mini-gate (25), that is actuated after entering the sub-parcel code to the machine (20) via a data entry system (38). The boxes are moved through the station (20) from the inlet downward under gravity, and then depending on hydraulically piston supported plates (40), (41) it is pushed to the exit column (32), and then out to be collected via the drone 22).
