[0037] The top surface of the window pedestal 5 and the top surface of the second rain sensor 53 are tilted, with an angle of about 5-10° with the horizontal.

[0038] The power source 31 can be connected to 220V AC power or directly installed with dry batteries.

[0039] The processing unit 32 is arranged in the controller, and the controller is arranged on the inner side of the window pedestal 3. The controller has buttons of "automatic", "electric full open", "electric full close", "open", "close" and "drain".

[0040] The sliding window 2 comprises four windows, the inner two windows are on the first track, and the outer two windows are on the second track. Wheels 24 are arranged at the bottom of the sliding window 2. The outer frame 1 is rigidly connected to the wall through expansion bolts, and fireproof sealant is applied externally at the connection joints, and flame-retardant polystyrene foam is used internally to fill the joints to enhance the fireproof performance.

[0041] Here’s how the system works: When the drone enters the house to pick up the express, the drone obtains the longitude, latitude and altitude information of the recipient's smart window based on the recipient's information. After the drone's infrared sensor is paired with the infrared pairing device, the drone information will be transmitted to the processing unit of the smart window under the customer's no-notification authorization. The processing unit and the drone service system will conduct security verification; the processing unit will send out the designation to open the window; the processing unit will pass the information of the infrared device to the drone. If there is a person standing in front of the smart window, the drone will play a voice reminder, mainly to avoid scaring the children in the smart window. If the customer does not enable no-notification authorization, a permission notification will be sent to the recipient after successful verification. The window can only be opened after the customer confirms.

[0042] When the drone is confirmed to be safe, it enters the room through the smart window, begins to identify the area near the smart window through the drone landing camera, and looks for the drone landing indicator board. At this time, the cargo box is placed at the designated position of the drone landing indicator board; the drone aligns with the drone landing indicator board and descends vertically, so that the drone storage compartment is aligned with the cargo box, and the storage box fixing structure is inserted into the locking device; at this time, the locking motor works, rotates the locking gear, and the lock tongue penetrates the lock slot and is stuck in the locking slot; then the first electromagnet of the storage device and the bar electromagnet of the storage device are energized, so that the iron ring and the first electromagnet of the storage device, the iron bar of the box and the bar electromagnet of the storage device are adsorbed together, that is, the box and the drone storage compartment can be fixed. After the drone picks up the express, it flies out of the window. At this time, the opening state of the smart window is related to the state before the drone enters. It is closed or opened before entering, and it is also closed or opened when the drone leaves; if it is not fully open, the smart window will push open half of the window. In addition, the smart window will open and close the window according to the rainfall.

[0043] A signal switch and the corresponding first wedge and second wedge are set to determine the current opening and closing status of the window. When the window is open, or the second signal button is pressed, it indicates that the window is open; when both rain sensors detect rain and there is no one near the window, the processing unit issues a command, the lifting motor works, and the lifting protection kit can mesh the gear with the sliding window rack, and then drive the rotating motor to work, pushing the window to close, until the first signal button is pressed, the rotating motor and the lifting motor stop working, and the window automatically closes. In addition, the principle of the outer right sliding window 26 is similar to this, and the window opening and closing directions are different.

[0044] The work of drone delivery is similar to the above, except that after the drone descends to the drone landing indicator board, the locking structure retracts the lock tongue, and the power supply of the first electromagnet of the storage device and the bar electromagnet of the storage device is disconnected, so that the drone storage compartment can be separated from the box.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
