First, the wings, tail struts, horizontal tail and other parts need to be manually disassembled and moved into the box one by one, and then the body is lifted to the bracket with the help of a lifting mechanism to be fixed, and the drone is disassembled, packed, and restored and installed manually. However, existing drone airports can often only achieve the initial parking of drones, and the top of the container needs to be opened for subsequent parking, which is inconvenient; at the same time, the container cannot replace the mounting accessories or packages for the drone, and its practicality has certain limitations.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN117566106A discloses a container hoisting device for a logistics drone, including: a base and a clamping assembly; the clamping assembly includes: a side clamping plate, a bottom clamping plate and a top clamping plate; the base is vertically penetrated and movably provided with two side clamping plates with adjustable spacing, and the bottom of each side clamping plate is horizontally fixed with a bottom clamping plate on the facing surface at the bottom, and the bottom of the base is fixed with a top clamping plate capable of forming a negative pressure inside, and the bottom end thereof is evenly and vertically fixed with a number of suction cups connected to the inside thereof, and the base is also provided with a negative pressure assembly capable of sucking the gas inside the top clamping plate to form a negative pressure, and the container hoisting device of the logistics drone overcomes the problem in the prior art that when the drone shakes during the hoisting process, the hoisting device also shakes, which causes the container to easily detach from the hoisting device and fall from it, reducing its stability and reliability. The container in the patent is only used to place drones, and other uses of the container are not recorded, and there are certain limitations in its use.

[0004] Chinese patent publication number CN218705711U discloses a fixed-wing UAV transport container, including a box body, a fuselage rail and a wing rail extending horizontally in the length direction are installed on the bottom plate inside the box body, a suspension beam extending horizontally in the length direction is installed on the top plate inside the box body, a fuselage bracket capable of moving along the fuselage rail is installed on the fuselage rail, a first wing bracket capable of moving along the wing rail is installed on the wing rail, a second wing bracket is connected below the suspension beam, and a lifting device for supporting and adjusting the height of the fuselage is provided on the fuselage bracket. The three brackets inside the box body are independent structures and can be placed in the box in order, reducing the need for personnel. The fuselage can be evacuated from the bracket after the landing gear is retracted and released with the assistance of the lifting device, and no lifting equipment is required. The time for disassembly, packaging and recovery installation is greatly reduced, and the overall work efficiency is greatly improved. The patent slides the fixed-wing UAV into the container through the rail, and when the UAV is parked outside the container, it cannot enter the container, which still has certain inconveniences.
