DEVICE FOR DROPPING CARGOES FROM SMALL SIZE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC B64D1/04 B64U20/00 

FIELD: equipment for light aircraft.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to systems for dropping, ejecting, and uncoupling objects in flight, and can be used in small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles. A device for releasing cargo from a small unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a platform with integrated landing brackets, a body with integrated landing brackets, a control board, an actuator, retaining tapes with rings and a fastening tape; the platform with integrated landing brackets is rigidly connected to the body with integrated landing brackets. The body with integrated mounting brackets has a niche for installing the control board, which is closed with a lid with brackets for mounting the actuator. The control board is in electrical communication with the flight controller of the small unmanned aerial vehicle through a cable and an actuator. The actuator consists of a servo drive, a rocker arm and two rods, the rods are connected at one end to the rocker arm, the other end passes through a hole in the body with integrated landing brackets and enters a hole in the platform with integrated landing brackets, crossing a groove for fixing retaining tapes with rings. The fastening tape, made in the form of a textile fastener, secures the device for releasing cargo from a small-sized unmanned aerial vehicle to the body of the small-sized unmanned aerial vehicle.

EFFECT: increased reliability of securing the payload during transportation, simplicity of design and a reduction in weight and size indicators, which allows the proposed technical solution to be used on small unmanned aerial vehicles.
