[0038] Among them, a connecting block 5 is installed on the top of the takeaway placement component 2, and the bottom of the drone body 1 is connected to the takeaway placement component 2 through the connecting block 5.

[0039] The device as a whole adopts a drone body 1 as the main body. After the drone body 1 flies to the window of the dormitory where the takeout is ordered, a takeout placement component 2 is installed at the bottom of the drone body 1 to facilitate students to take the takeout. At the same time, the addition of a balance component 3 can prevent the takeout placement component 2 extending out of one side of the drone body 1 from affecting the overall balance, and in conjunction with the electronic screen 4, the takeout of the takeout placement component 2 can be unlocked by electronic identification.

[0040] In particular, in the present invention, the drone body 1 includes a drone host 11, a battery box 14 is installed at the bottom of the drone host 11, a positioning plug plate 15 is installed at the bottom of the battery box 14, and the battery box 14 is inserted into the connecting block 5 through the positioning plug plate 15; wherein, the connecting block 5 is threadedly connected to two threaded rods 51, the two threaded rods 51 pass through the positioning plug plate 15 and extend out of the threaded rods 51, four arms 13 are installed on the drone host 11, and each arm 13 is installed with fan blades 12, and the four fan blades 12 are evenly distributed on the four corners above the drone host 11.

[0041] It should be noted that, inside the drone body 1, the drone main unit 11 cooperates with the fan blades 12 and the arms 13 as the main body to achieve stable flight. The addition of the battery box 14 can not only provide power for the entire unit, but also cooperate with the positioning plug plate 15 to achieve the connection between the drone body 1 and the connecting block 5. In the connecting block 5, a fixed connection is achieved by inserting two threaded rods 51 through the positioning plug plate 15. In this way, the threaded rods 51 can be pulled out or inserted to achieve loading and unloading, which is convenient and quick.

[0042] In particular, in the present invention, the takeaway placement component 2 includes a placement box 21, an insulation board 26 is installed on the inner wall of the placement box 21, a cup holder 27 is also installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the placement box 21, an electronic lock 23 is installed on the top of the placement box 21, and a limiting slide 25 is provided on the top of the placement box 21. A second cover 28 and a first cover 22 are provided above the placement box 21.

Two limiting sliders 24 are installed on the end of the first cover 22 away from the second cover 28. The first cover 22 is slidably connected to the adjacent limiting slide 25 through the two limiting sliders 24. The first cover 22 is connected to the adjacent electronic lock 23. An electronic screen 4 is installed on the placement box 21, and a QR code is displayed on the electronic screen 4.

[0043] It should be noted that in the takeaway placement component 2, the placement box 21 is first used as the main body, and the first cover 22, the electronic lock 23 and the second cover 28 are combined to form an enclosed space. The first cover 22 cooperates with the limiting slider 24 to realize the folding or covering of the top of the placement box 21, and the cooperation between the limiting slider 24 and the limiting slide 25 can form a more stable sliding effect. After the electronic lock 23 is locked, the whole cannot be opened. When the electronic lock 23 is unlocked and the connection with the first cover 22 is released, the whole can be opened. Adding an insulation board 26 to the electronic lock 23 can achieve an overall insulation effect, and the addition of the cup holder 27 can realize the placement of some beverages to prevent tipping and leakage during the transportation of the drone body 1.

[0044] In particular, in the present invention, the balancing assembly 3 includes a balancing frame 31, which is fixedly connected to the takeaway placement assembly 2.

The output shaft of the micro servo motor 35 is connected to a threaded rotating rod 34 through a coupling. The threaded rotating rod 34 is rotatably connected to the threaded block 36.

[0045] It should be noted that, in the balancing assembly 3, the threaded rotating rod 34 is driven to rotate by the micro servo motor 35. Under the limit of the counterweight frame 33 and the balancing frame 31, the threaded block 36 on the counterweight frame 33 can move forward and backward along the direction of the threaded rotating rod 34. After the counterweight block 32 is placed in the counterweight frame 33, the connecting block 5 at the bottom of the drone body 1 is used as the fulcrum. When no takeaway is placed in, the threaded block 36 is close to the side of the micro servo motor 35. After the takeaway is placed in, the micro servo motor 35 is started and the threaded block 36 drives the counterweight frame 33 to move to the side away from the micro servo motor 35, and moves as the weight of the takeaway increases.

[0046] In particular, in the present invention, a handle 61 is installed on the pushing plate 6 , and a buffer net is installed on the pushing plate 6 , and the pushing plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement box 21 .

[0047] It should be noted that after opening the takeaway placement component 2, the handle 61 can be pulled to drive the push plate 6 to slide in the placement box 21 to bring the takeaway to the side close to the students, and in the process of the drone body 1 transporting the takeaway, the protective net on the push plate 6 can also play a certain buffering role.

[0048] The present invention is divided into the following steps when used:

[0049] S1: The device as a whole uses a drone body 1 as the main body. After the drone body 1 flies to the window of the dormitory where the takeout is ordered, a takeout placement component 2 is installed on the bottom of the drone body 1 to facilitate students to take the takeout. The addition of a balance component 3 can prevent the takeout placement component 2 extending from the side of the drone body 1 from affecting the overall balance. In addition, the electronic screen 4 can be used to unlock the takeout by electronic recognition.

[0050] S2: In the drone body 1, the drone main unit 11, the fan blades 12, and the machine arm 13 cooperate as the main body to achieve stable flight. The addition of the battery box 14 can not only provide power for the entire drone, but also cooperate with the positioning plug plate 15 to achieve the connection between the drone body 1 and the connecting block 5. In the connecting block 5, two threaded rods 51 are inserted through the positioning plug plate 15 to achieve a fixed connection. In this way, the threaded rods 51 can be pulled out or inserted to achieve loading and unloading, which is convenient and quick.

[0051] S3: In the takeaway placement component 2, the placement box 21 is first used as the main body, and the first cover 22, the electronic lock 23 and the second cover 28 are used to form a closed space. The first cover 22 cooperates with the limiting slider 24 to realize the folding or covering of the top of the placement box 21, and the cooperation between the limiting slider 24 and the limiting slide 25 can form a more stable sliding effect. After the electronic lock 23 is locked, the whole cannot be opened. When the electronic lock 23 is unlocked and the connection with the first cover 22 is released, the whole can be opened. The addition of the insulation board 26 in the electronic lock 23 can achieve the overall insulation effect, and the addition of the cup holder 27 can realize the placement of some drinks to prevent spillage during the transportation process of the drone body 1.

[0052] S4: The electronic lock 23 is controlled by the electronic screen 4, which can be connected to the online takeaway software. The takeaway software displays a QR code on the electronic screen 4. When students see the electronic screen 4, they scan the QR code on the electronic screen 4 to unlock the electronic lock 23 online and take their own takeaway. Because this program is only used to open and close the electronic lock 23, the specific connection relationship can be that both the electronic screen 4 and the electronic lock 23 have a signal receiving and sending module, and this module is existing technology, so it is not repeated in this application;

[0053] S5: In the balancing assembly 3, the micro servo motor 35 drives the threaded rotating rod 34 to rotate. Under the limit of the counterweight frame 33 and the balancing frame 31, the threaded block 36 on the counterweight frame 33 can move forward and backward along the direction of the threaded rotating rod 34. After the counterweight 32 is placed in the counterweight frame 33, the connecting block 5 at the bottom of the drone body 1 is used as a fulcrum. When no takeout is placed in, the threaded block 36 is close to the side of the micro servo motor 35. After the takeout is placed, the micro servo motor 35 is started and the threaded block 36 drives the counterweight frame 33 to move to the side away from the micro servo motor 35, and moves as the weight of the takeout increases;

[0054] S6: After opening the takeaway placement component 2, you can pull the handle 61 to drive the push plate 6 to slide in the placement box 21 to bring the takeaway to the side close to the students. In the process of the drone body 1 transporting the takeaway, the protective net on the push plate 6 can also play a certain buffering role.

[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0056] The above embodiments merely illustrate several embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
