Drone mounted cargo case · 模型 256338
DESIGN DESCRIPTION: I designed a weatherproof and versatile drone mounted carrying container for a diverse range of products. Starting from the top down I will explain the designs features. On the top of the lid three ergonomic handles allow for easy transportation of supplies to and from the drone. The slots in the top are designed to bolt onto off the shelf camera mounts already being used on large drones today. I used slots so that the container would be usable with a wide range of drones. The top slides onto the carrying compartment sealing it from the weather. The grooves hold the container in place allowing you to leave the lid attached to the drone if needed. Tapped holes (Hand drilled post print. I have done this with a few types of 3-D prints with good success) are placed on the underside of the lid keeping the bolts from pooling water and reducing the chance of leaks. The underside of the lid has been ribbed to reduce weight while maintaining strength. All surfaces have been streamlined to reduce drag while flying. The main body resembles an upside-down pyramid. This was chosen to allow a high centre of gravity keeping the weight closer to the drone to promote more stable flight. The size has been maximized for the printer provided. Inside are tie down points for cargo in case fragile cargo is being transported. A hammock can also be strung up for extremely sensitive cargo. The bottom of the container contains a drain to allow for easy removal of products like seed or fertilizer. It also doubles as an easy way to clean out the bin. The bottom also has a built-in stand. This makes it easy to set down the container when not attached to the drone and it makes it so the cap can be placed on an overhanging surface to be emptied. The entire container has been streamlined to reduce drag in the air. The bottom opening has a cap covering it. The threads holding them together can be 3-D printed making for quick and easy assembly (I have had success with printing threads in the past). The cap is ergonomically designed for use when wet and has a warning built in to help reduce the risk of spilling grain or other fluid like substances. Overall the design is built to stand up to inclement weather and is optimised for transportation by drone and the package recipient. MASS REDUCTION: There are two places where the mass is optimised in this design. The first area of optimisation is the lid. The volume of the lid if it was solid is 3780 centimeters cubed. I t...
