Abstract

The drone shade tarp is easy to install by easily moving a large ad balloon frame into the air, and the shade tarp can be quickly removed depending on weather and wind, thereby solving safety problems, and moving the shade tarp according to the direction of sunlight can provide an efficient shade tarp. Also, the drone shade tarp can couple the cover drone to the advertising balloon frame in the air, even if air is used without using a gas such as expensive helium, a heavy large shade can be easily installed. It forms a groove in the ad balloon frame and increases the strength of the frame by a rigid frame support inserted there, helping the stable movement of the drone shade and fixing of the drone. Cover drones can be easily combined in the air using electromagnets or the like to form a shade tarp effectively.

3 . A drone shade tarp configured to be lifted in air using a drone to create shade on a surface, the drone shade tarp comprising:

an advertising balloon frame comprising an outer frame and an inner frame disposed inside the outer frame, the advertising balloon frame being formed by bonding a plurality of cylindrical vinyl sheets in a lattice-like square shape,

a plurality of frame supports disposed on an upper surface of the advertising balloon frame, the frame supports each including a coupling portion configured to be attached to a plurality of propeller drive bodies of the drone and a support portion configured to support and fix the advertising balloon frame, the frame supports being hollow, square-shaped aluminum bars; and

a rope groove being formed between the coupling portion and the support portion of each of the plurality of frame supports and configured to receive a rope,

wherein the frame supports are removably connected to the advertising balloon frame by the coupling portions using bolts and nuts.

4 . The drone shade tarp of claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of guide bars coupled to inner four corners of the advertising balloon frame.

5 . The drone shade tarp of claim 4 , wherein the advertising balloon frame further defines an inner space configured to receive a cover drone, the advertising balloon frame forming ventilation holes.

6 . The drone shade tarp of claim 5 , further comprising electromagnets respectively installed on central upper parts of inner four sides of the inner frame, the electromagnets including magnetic bodies in the form of thin iron sheets and attached to central lower parts of outer four sides of the cover drones, so that the cover drone is seated and fixed on the inner frame.

7 . The drone shade tarp of claim 5 , wherein the cover drone includes four drones coupled to a cover rectangular frame coupled to a cover, and each of the four drones is equipped with an upper hinge block and a lower hinge block, and the cover rectangular frame is hinged to the lower hinge block on one side and the cover rectangular frame is hinged to the upper hinge block on another side to form an inclined shade tarp.

8 . The drone shade tarp of claim 5 , wherein the cover drone includes a lower protrusion formed at a lower part of the cover frame, the lower protrusion being configured to be inserted and coupled to a receiving groove formed at an upper part of the advertising balloon frame, and cover portions are guided by vertical supports to ascend and descend, but an elevation height is different for each of the cover portions.

9 . The drone shade tarp of claim 5 , wherein the cover drone includes a vertical rod installed on an upper part of the advertising balloon frame and left and right cover portions fixed on the upper part of the vertical rods,

wherein the left and right cover portion are fixed high to outer vertical rods so as to be inclined toward a middle part, are fixed low to inner vertical rods, and a rain tray is installed in the middle part to be fixed to the inner vertical rods, so that rainwater flowing down from the left and right cover portions are collected as a rain tray.

10 . The drone shade tarp of claim 5 , wherein the cover drone comprises coupled grooves formed between the propeller drive body receiving grooves at the four corners of the advertising balloon frame and the inner frame, and inserted and fixedly coupled by the propeller drive body accommodation part and the frame support respectively,
