However, existing drone docking systems have the following technical shortcomings: Traditional drone docking stations only support drone charging or simple cargo transfer, lacking integrated design and unable to achieve automated, collaborative operations between drones and cargo. Separation, charging, and loading of drones and cargo require manual intervention or rely on multiple independent devices, leading to inefficiency and a high risk of errors. Therefore, we propose an improvement: a multi-point drone docking platform. Summary of the Invention

The top of the building has several protective structures, the positions of which correspond to the positions of the second lifting structures. The platform also includes a drone power supply structure for storing packages, the sides of which have slots.

A second reinforcing plate 504 is connected between the two support boxes 503, and a second lock 506 is installed on each of the two support boxes 503. The second lock 506 is used to lock with the second locking ring 409 to fix the power supply structure 4 of the UAV.

[0026] The top of the support box 503 is equipped with several second positioning rods 505. The second positioning rods 505 are used to connect with the guide funnel 412 and the limiting tube 411 at the bottom of the first protective box 401 to limit the power supply structure 4 of the UAV. The support box 503 is connected to the second positioning rods 505 and the second reinforcing plate 504 by bolts. The support box 503 is also connected to the belt conveyor 502 by bolts. The second lock 506 is installed on the support box 503 by bolts.

[0027] For ease of understanding, this application uses A to represent a package and B to represent a slot on the package. In use, the drone power supply structure 4 first connects to the charging structure 3, specifically by locking the first locking ring 321 with the first lock 408, and the first contact 322 contacts the second contact 407 to charge the drone battery 410. When the drone is needed to transport the package from building 1 to the outside, the third support plate 215 is lowered to its lowest position, the package is placed on top of the third support plate 215, and then the third support plate 215 moves upward. Simultaneously, the fourth drive unit drives the lifting frame 310 to descend, and the fifth drive unit drives... The fourth support plate 317 moves horizontally, aligning the drone power supply structure 4 with the first lifting structure 2. The third support plate 215 continues to rise, allowing the first lifting structure 2 to place the package between the two first protective boxes 401. The locking plate 414 rotates horizontally and engages with the slot to secure the package. The third support plate 215 descends to its original position. The belt conveyor 502 transports the support box 503 to below the drone power supply structure 4. The lifting frame 310 then descends further, causing the bottom guide funnel 412 and the limiting tube 411 to engage with the second positioning rod 505. The second lock 506 engages with the second locking ring 409, and then the first locking ring... 321 separates from the first lock 408, and the lifting frame 310 rises, separating the charging structure 3 from the drone power supply structure 4. The belt conveyor 502 transports the support box 503 and the drone power supply structure 4 to the second lifting structure 6. After the two protective covers 704 open, the drone falls onto the top of the drone support plate 613. The two second push plates 623 move closer together with the cooperation of the sixth motor 620, the fifth lead screw 621, and the third connecting block 622 to push the drone to the center. Then, the two first push plates 618 move closer together with the cooperation of the fifth motor 615, the fourth lead screw 616, and the second connecting block 617 to push the drone to the center. Further, the drone is centered, and the two seventh motors 626 drive the corresponding sixth lead screws 627 to rotate, so that the two baffles 628 move away from each other to release the blockage of the feed port 614. The first driving component controls the third lifting plate 609 to descend so that the drone descends, so that the drone power supply structure 4 connects with the drone through the feed port 614. The locking ring at the bottom of the drone locks with the first lock 408 so that the drone fixes the drone power supply structure 4. The first driving component controls the third lifting plate 609 to rise, and the second push plate 623 and the first push plate 618 move away from the drone. The drone takes off to transport the package. When receiving the package, the two protective covers 704 open, and the drone carrying the package and the drone power supply structure 4 lands on top of the drone support plate 613. After the drone returns to center, the drone power supply structure 4 and the package align with the unloading port 614. Then, the third lifting plate 609 descends, aligning the drone power supply structure 4 with the support box 503 and the second positioning rod 505. The drone releases the drone power supply structure 4, and the transfer structure 5 receives the package. The third lifting plate 609 rises, and the transfer structure 5 transports the drone power supply structure 4 and the package to the charging structure 3. The lifting frame 310 descends, and at the same time, the fifth support plate 318, which does not have the drone power supply structure 4 at the bottom, moves to the drone power supply structure 4 on the transfer structure 5 and fixes the drone power supply structure 4. Then, the transfer structure 5 releases the drone power supply structure 4, and the drone power supply structure 4 and the package are fixed by the charging structure 3. Then, the third support plate 215 rises to receive the package, the locking plate 414 rotates and separates from the slot, and the third support plate 215 then carries the package down to the lowest position. Finally, the package can be taken away.
