[0029] Example 1, see attached Figure 1-7 The invention discloses a drone receiving device, which is characterized in that a channel 1-1 is opened on a wall 1, a receiving box 2 is arranged in the channel, an opening is arranged on the top of the receiving box, the receiving box and the channel are movably connected through mutually matching guide rails 3, the receiving box slides and moves on the inner and outer sides of the channel through the guide rails, a cabinet 4 is fixed on the inner side of the wall, the cabinet is provided with grids 4-3 matching the channel, and the grids are connected with the channel.
[0030] There are two groups of guide rails, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the channel. The guide rails are composed of an outer rail 3-2 and a slider 3-3. The outer rail is arranged on the channel, and the sliders are arranged on both sides of the inbox. The guide rails can be electrically controlled by electric guide rails or manually controlled by ordinary guide rails. The guide rails are arranged on both sides of the bottom surface, and the technical effects achieved are also the same, and are considered to be equivalent.
[0031] In order to enhance the stability of the guide rail, the outer ends of the two guide rails are connected by a fixing rod 3-1, and an oblique brace 12 is provided at the outer lower part of the guide rail.
[0032] In order to enhance the structural stability, a hollow, tubular, protruding structural frame 5 is provided on the wall, the structural frame and the wall are integrally formed, the guide rail extends into the structural frame, and the cabinet is sheathed on the outer side of the protruding part of the structural frame. The structural frame and the wall have strong fastening, which is convenient for the cabinet to be installed and improves the stability of the cabinet.
[0033] The cabinet body is provided with a storage compartment 4-2. The cabinet body compartment passage is provided with a cabinet door 4-1. The storage compartment can facilitate users to temporarily store the taken-out packages, and the cabinet door can block the passage to achieve a decorative effect.
[0034] The receiving box and the grid intersection surface are provided with mutually matching lock buckles 6. When the user moves the receiving box into the room, the receiving box can be locked by the lock buckle to prevent the receiving box from sliding away when picking up items.
[0035] A sealing plate 2-1 is fixed on the outside of the inbox, and the sealing plate matches the shape of the passage. There are gaps 2-1-1 on the left and right sides of the sealing plate for the guide rail to pass through. A box door 2-2 is provided on the inside of the inbox. The sealing plate can seal the passage to prevent rainwater from entering. The box door prevents objects from falling.
[0036] The top of the receiving box is provided with an openable top plate 10. When the drone has not arrived, the top plate is closed to prevent debris from entering the box. When the drone arrives, the top plate is opened to receive the drone's delivery.
[0037] The top plate has two pages, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the inbox. The top plate is connected to the inbox through a hinge device. The hinge device includes a hinge seat fixed on the inbox, and a rotating shaft 8 is provided through the hinge seat. The top plate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the end of the rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of motor II 9.

[0038] See attached Figure 8 , a clamping device is provided on the top plate, and the clamping device is symmetrically distributed on the left and right top plates. The structure of the clamping device is that a horizontal slide groove is opened on the top plate, a screw is fixed in the slide groove, and an inward-facing hook is fixed on the nut that matches the screw rod. The motor drives the screw rod to rotate, so that the hook moves inward or outward in the slide groove. The direction of the clamping device can play the role of clamping the drone feet regardless of whether it is from outside to inside or from inside to outside. The reason is that the wind speed in high-rise residents is relatively high, which affects the delivery of drone packages. Therefore, the drone feet can be clamped by the clamping device to ensure stable delivery.

The support device includes a support sleeve 7-3 fixed on the side wall of the inbox, a support shaft 7-2 is installed in the support sleeve, a support surface 7-1 is provided on the top of the support shaft, and the bottom of the support shaft is connected to the output end of a motor I, and the support shaft is rotated and reset by the rotation of motor I. The function of the support device is to support the top plate and the drone to avoid damage due to uneven force after the top plate is opened, and to avoid the drone from being unstable and causing delivery errors. When the inbox is moved out of the wall, the support surface is expanded, and when the inbox is moved into the channel, it is tightened.
[0040] The passage is a rectangular passage, the inbox is a rectangular box, the grid is a rectangular passage, and the cabinet body is a rectangular cabinet.
[0041] The device is used by installing it on the outer wall of the user's building and moving the inbox (manual or electronically controlled) outside the wall. After the drone delivers the package to the inbox, the user moves the inbox (manual or electronically controlled) inside the wall, takes out the package from the room (inside the inbox), and then moves the inbox outside the wall to collect other items.
[0042] The technical effect of this embodiment is further described as follows:
[0043] As drone delivery technology is gradually becoming more popular and implemented, the research on equipment for users to receive drone deliveries has also attracted more and more attention. This solution is easy to install. It can be modified on old buildings, or a channel can be reserved on new buildings for the device to be installed. In this way, every household can receive express delivery at home without leaving their homes, which is very convenient.
[0044] The device receives the express from the outside of the wall and takes the express from the inside of the wall, thus avoiding safety problems and infringement of personal privacy caused by drones entering the room.
[0045] Example 2, see attached Fig. 9 The drone receiving device is characterized in that a channel is opened on the wall, a receiving box is arranged in the channel, an opening is arranged on the top of the receiving box, the receiving box and the channel are movably connected through mutually matching guide rails, the receiving box slides and moves on the inner and outer sides of the channel through the guide rails, a cabinet is fixed on the inner side of the wall, the cabinet is provided with grids matching the channel, and the grids are connected with the channel.
[0046] There are three groups of guide rails, which are respectively arranged on both sides and the bottom of the channel. The guide rails are composed of outer rails and sliders. The outer rails are arranged on the channel, and the sliders are arranged on the inbox. The two sides of the inbox are ordinary guide rails, which can also be called guide devices 11, and the bottom of the inbox is an electric guide rail.
[0047] In order to enhance the stability of the guide rail, the outer ends of the guide rail are connected by a fixing rod, and an oblique support is provided at the outer lower part of the guide rail.
[0048] In order to enhance the structural stability, a hollow, tubular, protruding structural frame is provided on the wall, and the structural frame is sleeved in the channel and the grid channel, and connects the channel and the grid channel.
[0049] The cabinet body is provided with storage compartments, and the cabinet body compartments are provided with cabinet doors.
[0050] The interface between the receiving box and the grid is provided with lock buckles that cooperate with each other.
[0051] A sealing plate is fixed on the outside of the inbox, the sealing plate matches the shape of the passage, and gaps are left on the left and right sides of the sealing plate for the guide rails to pass through.
[0052] The top of the inbox is provided with an openable and closable top plate.
[0053] The top plate has two pages, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the inbox. The top plate is connected to the inbox through a sliding device. The sliding device includes a screw nut. The screw is horizontally arranged on the front and rear tops of the inbox, and the nut matching the screw is fixed at the front and rear bottom of the top plate.
[0054] The top plate is provided with a clamping device 14, which is symmetrically distributed on the left and right top plates. The structure of the clamping device is that a horizontal slide groove 10-1 is opened on the top plate, a screw rod is fixed in the slide groove, and an inwardly curved hook 14-1 is fixed on the nut matching the screw rod. The motor drives the screw rod to rotate, so that the curved hook moves inward or outward in the slide groove.
[0055] The left and right sides of the inbox are provided with support devices. The support devices include a support sleeve fixed on the side wall of the inbox, a support shaft is sleeved inside the support sleeve, a support surface is provided on the top of the support shaft, and the support shaft and the support sleeve are connected by a spiral spring so that the support shaft rotates and resets in the support sleeve; or, the bottom of the support shaft is connected to the output end of a motor I, and the support shaft rotates and resets by rotating the motor I.
[0056] The technical effect of this embodiment is further described as follows:
[0057] Example 1 uses an opening and closing method to open the top plate (the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate and open the top plate); Example 2 uses a translation method to open the top plate (the screw rotates to allow the nut to drive the top plate to move to both sides). Both methods can achieve the same technical effect of opening and closing the top plate. The support device supports the top plate to ensure the stability of the top plate. If necessary, the top plate can also provide a place for the drone to temporarily dock;
[0058] Embodiment 1 uses a motor to rotate and control the expansion or contraction of the support device, and the principle is simple. Embodiment 2 uses a coil spring to control the expansion or contraction of the support device, and the principle is that when the mailbox moves toward the passage, the expanded support surface automatically tightens and compresses the coil spring under the pressure of the wall of the passage entrance. When the mailbox moves out of the wall, the coil spring releases the pressure to expand and reset the support surface due to the absence of wall pressure.
[0059] Example 3, see attached Fig.10 The invention discloses a drone receiving device, which is characterized in that a channel is opened on the wall, a receiving box is arranged in the channel, an opening is arranged on the top of the receiving box, the receiving box is displaced inside and outside the channel by an insertion mechanism, a cabinet is fixed inside the wall, the cabinet is provided with grids matching the channel, and the grids are connected with the channel.
[0060] The insertion mechanism can also be a rotating insertion mechanism 16, which includes two insertion seats 16-2 fixed to the outer wall and located on both sides of the inbox, and two parallel insertion rods 16-1 are arranged on the insertion seats, one end of the insertion rod is hinged to the insertion seat, and the other end is hinged to the side wall of the inbox, and the two insertion rods are obliquely distributed to avoid mutual interference during rotation, wherein at least one end of the insertion rod is fixed to the motor output shaft, and the motor can be fixed in the insertion seat or in the inbox. The rotational kinetic energy of the insertion rod can be provided by a motor, a hydraulic cylinder or other means. If necessary, a canopy 15 can be set on the outer wall above the passage. When the motor starts to drive the insertion rod to rotate, the inbox is sent into the passage by the insertion rod. Arranging multiple parallel insertion rods on both sides of the inbox not only increases stability, but also keeps the inbox level and does not flip.
[0061] In order to enhance the structural stability, a hollow, tubular, protruding structural frame is provided on the wall, the structural frame is integrally formed with the wall, and the cabinet body is sleeved on the outer side of the protruding part of the structural frame.
[0062] The cabinet body is provided with storage compartments, and the cabinet body compartments are provided with cabinet doors.
[0063] The interface between the receiving box and the grid is provided with lock buckles that cooperate with each other.
[0064] The top of the inbox is provided with an openable and closable top plate.
[0065] The top plate has two pages, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the inbox. The top plate is connected to the inbox through a hinge device. The hinge device includes a hinge seat fixed on the inbox, and a rotating shaft is provided through the hinge seat. The top plate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the end of the rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of motor II. Motor II is fixed on the top of the inbox, and the rotation of the motor drives the rotating shaft and the top plate to rotate.
[0066] The top plate is provided with a clamping device, which is symmetrically distributed on the left and right top plates. The structure of the clamping device is that a horizontal slide groove is opened on the top plate, a screw rod is fixed in the slide groove, and a hook is fixed on the nut matching the screw rod.

[0068] The technical effect of this embodiment is further described as follows:
[0069] Participate in the Fig.10As shown, embodiment 3 adopts a rotating insertion mechanism, and the inbox is sent into the channel by rotating the insertion rod. The advantage is that the distance exposed on the outer wall is shorter, the device fits the wall more closely, and it does not look abrupt due to the bracket extending too much. Embodiments 1 and 2 adopt a linear guide insertion mechanism, which has the characteristics of more stable structure and more convenient construction.
[0070] In summary, compared with the existing technology, this technical solution provides a new idea of drone delivery, where the delivery box receives the delivery by drone outside the wall, and the user picks up the delivery inside the wall. This not only facilitates the user, who can receive the delivery at home without leaving the house, but also avoids the safety problems and privacy infringement caused by drones entering the room.
