[0002] The smart park is based on the concept of "park + Internet", and integrates social networking, mobile, big data and cloud computing. The different spaces of industrial agglomeration development and urban life and residence are organically combined to form a functional composite urban space area with community value association, circle resource sharing and land full-time utilization. Among them, the construction of a smart logistics system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle distribution system is one of the typical representative needs of the development of the smart park to automation and intelligence. A community-oriented unmanned aerial vehicle distribution system is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN211055378U (hereinafter referred to as Document 1), which was published on August 23, 2019. The system uses unmanned aerial vehicle distribution to achieve fully unmanned end unmanned aerial vehicle distribution, improving the delivery efficiency and service quality of express delivery, and truly realizing home delivery.

[0003] In the specification of Document 1, it is recorded that "the express box body includes a top plate 2081 connected with a connecting piece 207, a left side plate 2082 and a right side plate 2083 fixedly connected with the top plate 2081, a front side plate 2084 and a rear side plate 2085 hingedly connected with the top plate 2081, a left bottom plate 2086 and a right bottom plate 2087 hingedly connected with the left side plate 2082 and the right side plate 2083 respectively, and an automatic switch includes a side plate automatic switch for controlling the opening and closing of the front side plate 2084 and the rear side plate 2085, and a bottom plate automatic switch for controlling the opening and closing of the left bottom plate 2086 and the right bottom plate 2087. When the automatic switch receives a switch instruction, it performs corresponding actions. The front side plate 2084 and the rear side plate 2085, the left bottom plate 2086 and the right bottom plate 2087 are in a closed state during the transportation of goods by the unmanned aerial vehicle. Among them, the front side plate 2084 and the rear side plate 2085 are opened when loading goods, facilitating the forklift and fixing of goods, achieving the effect of rapid loading of goods; the left bottom plate 2086 and the right bottom plate 2087 are opened when delivering goods, facilitating automatic delivery of goods.
