Description:LANDING SYSTEM FOR UAV USING QUANTUM LOCKING MECHANISM
Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and specifically addresses the critical aspect of landing systems. UAVs have become indispensable tools across a myriad of applications, including surveillance, reconnaissance, delivery services, and environmental monitoring, among others. However, one of the primary challenges in UAV operations remains the precision and stability of landing maneuvers. Conventional landing systems often encounter difficulties in adverse weather conditions, uneven terrain, and during high-speed approaches, which can compromise safety and mission success. Therefore, there exists a compelling need for an innovative landing system that can ensure reliable and precise landings under diverse operational conditions.
Background of the Invention
The concept of quantum locking, rooted in the principles of superconductivity and quantum mechanics, has recently emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize various fields, including transportation and aerospace engineering. Quantum locking involves the phenomenon wherein a superconductor, when cooled below its critical temperature, exhibits the ability to levitate and maintain stable positioning in the presence of a magnetic field. This remarkable property arises from the expulsion of magnetic flux lines from within the superconductor, resulting in a phenomenon known as the Meissner effect.
In recent years, researchers have explored the practical applications of quantum locking in diverse fields, ranging from magnetic levitation trains to friction less bearings and even quantum computing. However, its potential application in UAV landing systems represents a novel and hitherto unexplored frontier. The patent US20190202578A1, imparts the conventional position and locking mechanism of UAV.A centring system designed to position an Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle (UAV) includes two or more rigidly connected supporting extremities. It features a pair of movable positioning components with sloped surfaces relative to each other, forming trapping zones. The patent CA2859855A1 describes Air vehicle and levitation system for air vehicle. The patent US9676477B1 explains an adjustable structure designed to shift between an expanded state, a transitional state, or a contracted state in response to the movement of the unmanned aerial vehicle.US9387928B1,this patent describes Multi-use UAV docking station systems and methods This system provides The docking stations can be connected to a central control system and multiple UAVs. These stations may offer various services to support UAV navigation, maintenance, and promote community acceptance and advantages. This patent US9809305B2 gives insight into Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that travel to destinations, such as for delivering goods, may land on transportation vehicles (e.g., delivery trucks) for short-term transport. An arrangement with the transportation vehicle owner (e.g., a shipping company) can be established to gain consent and agree on compensation for these landings. The vehicles available for landings can be identified by roof markers or other identification methods. The patent US7780055B2, discloses Loading unit having drive assembly locking mechanism. A locking mechanism combined with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, used in the field of UAVs, addresses issues related to complicated locking systems and difficulty in unlocking. It enhances experimental efficiency and simplifies reuse. The patent US10124912B2, explains about Landing Pad For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Delivery. It gives insight into the A landing pad is designed to receive and store packages delivered by an aerial vehicle while awaiting pickup by another aerial vehicle. It can be installed outside a window and is equipped with a transmitter that emits an identification signal via radio frequency to help aerial vehicles locate it.
The landing pad includes a platform with a trapdoor leading to a storage compartment. The trapdoor is configured to open only upon receiving a signal from an authorized aerial vehicle. The storage compartment can be accessed through a door that may have a locking mechanism. In certain embodiments, the landing pad is designed to work with an application that can be run on devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, or personal computers. This application can confirm package deliveries and pickups, as well as enable individuals to sign for them. Additionally, the app allows users to adjust various settings on the landing pad, including its internal climate
Traditional UAV landing systems rely on mechanical mechanisms such as landing gears, skids, or arresting cables, which are prone to wear and tear, require regular maintenance, and may be susceptible to environmental factors. Moreover, these systems often lack the flexibility and adaptability needed to accommodate dynamic operational conditions, limiting the agility and versatility of UAVs.
The system enables the UAV to effectively "lock" onto a magnetic field generated by a ground- based infrastructure during the landing phase. This quantum locking mechanism provides unparalleled stability, precision, and control, allowing UAVs to execute smooth and reliable landings even in adverse weather conditions, on uneven terrain, and at high approach speeds.
Furthermore, the adaptability of quantum locking enables the UAV landing system to dynamically adjust its levitation height and orientation, ensuring optimal landing performance under varying circumstances. Additionally, the elimination of mechanical contact during landing reduces wear and tear on the UAV and minimizes the risk of damage to both the vehicle and the landing infrastructure.
In summary, the integration of quantum locking mechanism into UAV landing systems represents a significant technological advancement with far-reaching implications for the aerospace industry. By enhancing the safety, reliability, and operational efficiency of UAVs, this invention promises to unlock new possibilities for aerial missions across diverse sectors, including defense, surveillance, logistics, and beyond.
