Meituan Drone Patent Granted for Logistics Box Transport

A drone patent filed by Beijing Sankuai Online Technology Co., Ltd. has been granted, according to intellectual property information from Tianyancha. According to Jin10, the patent describes a drone designed to transport logistics boxes. The drone includes a main body, a fixing device, and a limiting component. Along a first direction, the fixing device is installed on the main body and can clamp and secure both ends of a logistics box. The limiting component is adjustably mounted on the main body and includes at least a mounting section connected to the main body and a limiting section connected to the mounting section. The limiting section is used to press against the side of the logistics box to restrict movement along a second direction, while the mounting section is used to press against the top surface of the logistics box to restrict movement along a third direction. The patent states that the limiting component works with the fixing device to provide additional stabilization, helping prevent the box from shaking during drone transport and reducing the risk of items inside being bumped. It also aims to prevent collisions between the logistics box and the main body to support normal flight. The limiting component’s adjustable installation is intended to allow it to fit logistics boxes of different sizes.
