[0040] Extension components include:

[0041] The extension box 5 is symmetrically slidably connected to both sides of the transport box 3;

[0042] The support seat 6 is slidably connected to a side of the extension box 5 facing away from the transport box 3;

[0043] The shock absorbing assembly is installed below the transport box 3 and the extension box 5 and above the support seat 6, and is used to reduce the vibration of the items in the transport box 3 when the drone is docked.

[0044] This application provides a transport box 3 and an extension box 5 so that the capacity of the transport box 3 can be expanded within a certain range, thereby expanding the range of items that can be transported by the drone, reducing restrictions on the volume of the transported items, and having a wide range of applications.

[0045] Figures 3 to 5 A second embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the first embodiment is that the shock absorbing assembly includes a first slider 7 fixed to the side of the extension box 5 facing away from the transport box 3, a first slide groove 8 is provided on the inner wall of the support seat 6, the first slider 7 is slidably connected to the first slide groove 8, a first damper 9 is symmetrically fixed above the inner wall of the support seat 6, and the output end of the first damper 9 is fixed to the bottom of the extension box 5.

[0046] A second slider 10 is symmetrically fixed to the lower end of the transport box 3. The outer wall of the second slider 10 is slidably connected to the mounting shell 11. The inner wall of the mounting shell 11 is symmetrically provided with a second slide groove 12. The second slider 10 is slidably connected to the second slide groove 12. Two support seats 6 are slidably connected to the two ends of the inner wall of the mounting shell 11.

[0047] A second damper 13 is symmetrically fixed on the upper inner wall of the installation shell 11 , and an output end of the second damper 13 is fixed to the bottom of the transport box 3 . A driving component for driving the extension box 5 to move on the inner wall of the transport box 3 is installed on the inner wall of the installation shell 11 .

[0048] The driving assembly includes a double-headed motor 14 fixed to the inner wall of the mounting shell 11, and the inner wall of the mounting shell 11 is symmetrically rotatably connected with a screw 15, the two screws 15 are respectively fixed to the two output ends of the double-headed motor 14, and the outer wall of the screw 15 is threadedly connected to a third slider 16, and the bottom of the third slider 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the support seat 6.

[0049] This application provides a shock-absorbing component so that the vibrations to which the drone is subjected when docked can be appropriately offset by the shock-absorbing component, thereby reducing the vibrations to the transport box 3 and the extension box 5, thereby preventing the transported items from being damaged by collision inside the box, and thus having practicality.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] The controller 1 and the aircraft 2 are prior art and are not described in detail.

[0052] When the total volume of items to be transported by the drone is large, the double-headed motor 14 can be driven to rotate the two screws 15, driving the third slider 16 to move along the outer wall of the screw 15 in a direction away from the double-headed motor 14, thereby driving the support seat 6 to move on the inner wall of the mounting shell 11, and then driving the two extension boxes 5 to move away from each other on the inner wall of the transport box 3, thereby expanding the transport capacity.

[0053] When the drone is docked, the support base 6 touches the ground, and the transport box 3 and the extension box 5 are susceptible to vibration, so that the transport box 3 drives the second slider 10 to move in the second slide groove 12, and at the same time the second damper 13 has a shock-absorbing effect on the vibration received by the transport box 3, and the extension box 5 drives the first slider 7 to move in the first slide groove 8, and at the same time the first damper 9 has a shock-absorbing effect on the vibration received by the extension box 5; the shock-absorbing component offsets part of the vibration, reducing the possibility of damage to the transported items due to the influence of vibration.

[0054] The lifting door 4 is pulled upward to move in the moving groove 17 , and the bottom of the lifting door 4 leaves the slot 18 , and the transported items can be loaded into the transport box 3 .

[0055] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
