[0002] Aerial work refers to various work activities carried out more than two meters above the ground, such as installation, maintenance, and inspection in industries such as construction, electricity, communications, and firefighting. In recent years, drone technology has been widely used in the field of aerial work. A drone is an unmanned aircraft that can undertake some auxiliary tasks in aerial work, such as filming, monitoring, testing, and spraying. However, the existing drone technology cannot completely replace manual work, and operators are still required to cooperate to complete some complex operations, such as tightening screws, replacing parts, and repairing faults. This requires operators to carry the corresponding tools by manual handling, which is labor-intensive and inefficient, making it impossible to effectively transport the tools to the location of aerial work.

[0003] At present, some drones are equipped with special tool boxes for transporting tools. Such tool boxes are usually fixed under the drone, and it is not convenient to separate the tool box from the drone, which means that operators need to keep the drone and the tool box aside at the same time when using the tools, or need to dismantle the tools to separate the tool box from the drone. This working method increases the difficulty and danger of the operation.
