A spacer block 7 is provided between adjacent gears 414. By making the length of the arc plate 4131 less than half of the circumference of the inner frame 412, the arc plate 4131 is facilitated to move up and down, thereby driving the gear 414 to move between the inner frame 412 and the outer frame 411. By providing the spacer block 7, the two gears 414 are prevented from being too close to each other, causing the adjacent gears 414 to mesh.

When the tooth block 4132 needs to be retracted into the inner groove 4133, the first cylinder 914 is retracted to drive the arc-shaped frame 911 away from the inner frame 412 so that the linkage bar 913 pulls the tooth block 4132 into the inner groove 4133.

[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a mounting seat 921 and a second cylinder 922. The driving mechanism is provided with two groups of arc plates 4131 on both sides that respectively drive the sliding. The mounting seat 921 is arranged in the middle and lower part of the inner arc surface of the inner frame 412. The lower end of the second cylinder 922 is hingedly arranged on the mounting seat 921. The upper end of the second cylinder 922 is hingedly arranged with the middle and upper part of the arc plate 4131 through a connecting block 923. The inner frame 412 is provided with an arc groove 924 that is slidably arranged with the connecting block 923. By driving the second cylinder 922, the arc plate 4131 is driven to engage and slide with the inner frame 412 to realize the unloading of the gear 414.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, a recovery rack 931 is connected to the delivery rack 2 below the discharge chute 512, an access door 932 is provided on the lower side of the recovery rack 931, and a buffer rack 933 is provided on the upper part of the recovery rack 931. The recovery rack 931 is used to recover the gear 414 that is separated from the materials after delivery for next use.

[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, both sides of the buffer frame 933 are assembled and connected with both sides of the inner wall of the recovery frame 931, a bracket 941 is provided below the buffer frame 933, and buffer supports 942 are rotatably provided on both sides of the buffer frame 933. The bottom of the buffer support 942 is assembled and connected with the side wall of the bracket 941 through a first spring 943. When the gear 414 or the spacer block 7 falls onto the buffer support 942, the buffer support 942 on one side is squeezed to unfold under the action of gravity, and falls from this side into the recovery frame 931, and the first spring 943 is reset after falling.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, a power supply is provided on the recovery frame 931, a conductive sheet 951 electrically connected to the power supply is provided above the buffer frame 933, and a conductive strip 952 is provided at the edge of the gear 414. The conductive strip 952 cooperates with the conductive sheet 951 to separate the pendant 3 from the gear 414.

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, an assembly groove 961 is provided at the center position of one side of the gear 414, and the mounting block 812 is slidably arranged in the assembly groove 961. A strip groove 966 and a spiral groove 962 are provided inside the assembly groove 961. One end of the strip groove 966 is connected to the spiral groove 962 and the number of spiral turns of the spiral groove 962 is 0.5 turns. The spiral groove 962 is arranged close to the mounting block 812, and a slider 963 is provided on the mounting block 812, which is slidably arranged with the strip groove 966 and the spiral groove 962. One end of the assembly groove 961 is assembled and connected with the mounting block 812 through a strong spring 964. A limit block 965 is provided above the outer end of the mounting block 812, and the slot 813 is provided on the limit block 965. One end of the hanger 3 is slidably sleeved on the mounting block 812. The limit block 965 is provided to ensure stability when the hanger 3 and the mounting block 812 are sleeved, so as to achieve an anti-slip effect.

[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, a disassembly groove 971 is connected above the assembly groove 961, and an insertion strip 973 is provided in the disassembly groove 971 through a second spring 972. A slot 974 is provided on the mounting block 812 to be slidably engaged with the insertion strip 973. The lower end of the insertion strip 973 is inclined away from the limit block 965. A first magnetic block 975 is provided at the upper end of the insertion strip 973, and a second magnetic block 976 is provided at the upper end of the slot 974 to be mutually adsorbed with the first magnetic block 975. One end of the conductive strip 952 is assembled and connected with the second magnetic block 976. When the material is put in, the gear 414 falls onto the buffer frame 933, and the conductive strip 952 on the edge of the gear 414 contacts the conductive sheet 951, and the second magnetic block 976 is energized, so that the second magnetic block 976 generates magnetism and is adsorbed with the first magnetic block 975. 975 is a strong magnetic magnet. The first magnetic block 975 drives the insertion strip 973 to quickly retract into the disassembly groove 971. The installation block 812 loses the limit of the insertion strip 973 and quickly rebounds to the assembly groove 961 under the strong pulling force of the strong spring 964. During the pullback process, due to the restrictions of the slider 963, the strip groove 966 and the spiral groove 962, the slider 963 first passes through 0.5 spiral grooves 962, so that the installation block 812 quickly rotates 180 degrees, and the limit block 965 is rotated to the bottom to prevent the limit block 965 from blocking the hanging part 3 from falling off during retraction. When passing through the strip groove 966, the installation block 812 directly retracts to the innermost end of the assembly groove 961. The installation block 812 is set at the outer end and is completely separated from the hanging part 3. The hanging part 3 loses support and falls freely to the ground with the materials.

[0048] Working principle: when placing materials on the drone, first retract the tooth block 4132 on the arc plate 4131 into the inner groove 4133, and link the two gears 414 through the connecting shaft 811, and then put the two gears 414 from the feed trough 511 into the space between the inner frame 412 and the outer frame 411, put in the gear 414 and then put in the spacer 7, repeat the above steps to put in multiple gears 414, after the placement is completed, the tooth block 4132 removes the inner groove 4133 and meshes with the gear 414 and removes the connecting shaft 811, take the materials to be delivered, assemble and connect one end of the hanger 3 with the end face of the material, which can be achieved by hooking, and the other end of the hanger 3 is assembled and connected with the gear 414. After the drone takes off to a designated location, the driving mechanism is started, driving the arc plate 4131 on one side to slide downward. Since the gear 414 is meshed with the tooth block 4132, it drives the gear 414 below to slide out of the discharge trough 512, and slides out. After being released, the pendant 3 is separated from the gear 414, and the pendant 3 falls to the designated location with the free fall of the materials, and the gear 414 and a spacer block 7 fall into the recovery rack 931 for recovery, and the driving mechanism drives the arc plate 4131 on this side to move up and reset, driving the other gears 414 on this side to move up accordingly, and shrinking the tooth block 4132 into the inner groove 4133. At this time, the gear 414 lacks support and slowly slides downward under the action of gravity until the gear 414 contacts the baffle 6, and the tooth block 4132 is removed from the inner groove 4133 again to engage with the gear 414, thereby achieving a complete delivery of a material. The UAV flies to the next location and repeats the above steps to deliver the next material. The delivery of the second material is achieved by driving the arc plate 4131 on the other side to drive the materials below the other side to fall and deliver them. By alternately delivering materials on both sides of the delivery rack 2, it is avoided that one side of the UAV is too heavy and the other side is too light, causing unstable flight, thereby ensuring flight safety.

[0049] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
