JD。 COM's "Jingting" logistics drone airdrop technology patent disclosure.

191October 19, Beijing JD.COM century trading co., ltd. obtained the patent of "an automatic cargo throwing mechanism and unmanned aerial vehicle", with the application number of cn2019 10642456.0 and the application date of 2010. The patent abstract shows that the automatic delivery mechanism and unmanned aerial vehicle provided by the embodiment of the invention include a positioning plate, a hook and a hook connecting rod; The invention is simple and light in structure, and can increase the load capacity of transportation equipment.

The original text shows that the automatic cargo throwing mechanism and the unmanned aerial vehicle provided by the embodiment of the invention comprise a positioning plate, a hook and a hook connecting rod, wherein the hook is rotatably connected with the positioning plate, and one end of the hook is used for hanging objects; The hook connecting rod is rotatably connected with the positioning plate, and the hook connecting rod can hook the other end of the hook to position the hook, thus realizing the suspension of the object; The hook rod rotates under the action of external force to release the hook, and the hook rotates on the positioning plate under the action of gravity of the object to throw the object. One end of the hook connecting rod is provided with a hook, and the hook is used for hooking or releasing the hook.

According to the description and analysis, the patent is actually a hook setting of logistics UAV used for air-dropping materials.

According to the analysis of the editorial team, due to the news widely circulated in the industry, the Jingdong Logistics UAV "Jinghong" team has long been dissolved. At present, the existing UAV models in JD.COM are customized by OEM, and JD.COM is in charge, so it is speculated that the patent is set for the airdrop used by Jingting.

"Jingting" UAV

The "Jingting" drone is actually a famous family. Relevant industry information sources show that it is a set of UAV solutions with stable technology and mature state based on the aerial photography "three jumpers" unveiled by a well-known intelligent technology company in Shaanxi at the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, with unmanned control system and optimized power system.

Well-known aircraft-three jumps in the air

According to Jingdong Logistics, "Jingting" is different from the traditional fixed-wing logistics drone. "Jingting" rotor feeder logistics UAV is a kind of aircraft whose take-off and landing mode is between fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter. With the rotor as the lifting surface and the propeller thrust as the driving force, it only needs a very short "run-up" to complete the lift-off action, getting rid of the dependence on airports and runways, greatly enriching the application scenarios of JDL Jingdong Logistics UAV and broadening the logistics services. R&D personnel innovatively designed the fuselage and warehouse, and took the lead in realizing the function of fast switching between transportation and airdrop. After nearly 10 months of research, development, production and improvement, Jingting UAV is the first UAV in China with the function of airdropping in the cockpit with a load of several hundred kilograms.

The "three jumps in the air" platform used by the "Jingting" drone itself has a load capacity of several hundred kilograms. This time, it can be said that it is a major innovation in military-to-civilian technology, and the editor praised it.
