[0026] To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of the present invention more clearly understood, the following provides a clear and complete description of the technical solution in the examples of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. They are intended only to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drone delivery terminal device of this example includes a cargo compartment shell 1, a cargo compartment 2, a multi-section telescopic pull rod 3, a scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4, a controller and communication device 5, a self-triggering cabin cover 6 and an anti-air leakage device 7.

[0028] The cargo hold shell 1 is located indoors and is installed on the building's outer wall 11 , with its outer end embedded in the outer wall opening 12 . When the cargo hold 2 moves indoors, the outer wall opening 12 is sealed by the air leakage prevention device 7 .

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a cargo hold 2 is installed in the cargo hold shell 1. The two sides of the cargo hold 2 are connected to the cargo hold shell 1 through multi-section telescopic rods 3. The rear end of the cargo hold 2 is connected to a scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4, and the rear end of the scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4 is connected to the cargo hold shell 1; the scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4 and the multi-section telescopic rods 3 drive the cargo hold 2 to extend and retract in the horizontal direction; an air leakage prevention device 7 is installed at the front end of the cargo hold 2, and a QR code vertical visual positioning point 8 is provided on the outside of the air leakage prevention device 7 ( Figure 3 ), UWB positioning base stations 13 are installed on both sides.

[0030] The telescopic motion of the scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4 is driven by a screw-nut mechanism (not shown). The connection between the scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4 and the cargo hold shell 1 is divided into upper and lower ends. The lower end of the scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4 is fixed to the cargo hold shell 1, and the nut of the screw-nut mechanism is installed at the upper end. The screw in the screw-nut mechanism is installed on the cargo hold shell 1 and driven by motor A to rotate, thereby driving the upper end of the scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4 to move up and down. The scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4 converts this into horizontal motion, further driving the movement of the cargo hold 2. Motor A is controlled by a controller and communication device 5. The controller and communication device 5 are installed on the rear inner side of the cargo hold shell 1.

[0031] The self-triggering hatch cover 6 is located above the cargo inlet of the cargo hold 2 and is connected to the upper part of the cargo hold shell 1 through a hinge. The self-triggering hatch cover 6 is driven by the motor B and controlled by the controller and the communication device 5. When the cargo hold 2 is outdoors, the self-triggering hatch cover 6 is closed ( Figure 4 ), when the cargo hold 2 is retracted into the room, the controller controls the motor B to drive the hatch to automatically trigger the opening ( Figure 2), and then manually close the hatch to prevent dust from falling into the cargo hold 2 when it is idle.

[0032] The air leakage prevention device 7 is a hollow structure made of insulating foam, its shape matching the exterior wall opening 12. This arrangement reduces the overall weight of the cargo hold 2 after it extends from the building's exterior wall 11, reduces the burden on the multi-section telescopic rod 3, and increases its service life. It also maintains the indoor temperature after the cargo hold 2 is retracted.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a QR code horizontal visual positioning point 9 is set on the inner bottom plate of the cargo hold 2. The top of the cargo hold 2 is unobstructed and is provided with a cargo inlet for receiving cargo dropped by a drone 10.

[0034] Drone 10 is equipped with a navigation and positioning system (including RTK and an altimeter) to determine the drone's location and vertical altitude. Using the delivery point location information provided by the operator, drone 10 travels to the delivery point's location and vertical altitude to deliver the cargo. Drone 10 is also equipped with a UWB positioning tag 14, which works in conjunction with UBW positioning base station 13, QR code vertical visual positioning points 8, and QR code horizontal visual positioning points 9 to determine the drone's precise location.

[0035] The specific working process of the drone delivery terminal device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] (1) The drone 10 requests the controller and the communication device 5 to provide authorization for delivery to the home;

[0037] (2) After receiving the authorization for delivery to the home, the drone 10 carries the package to the location and vertical height of the delivery point (provided by the operator);

[0038] (3) The UBW tag 14 on the drone 10 cooperates with the UBW positioning base station 13 and the QR code vertical visual positioning point 8 to travel to the precise vertical position of the cargo hold 2 and send a request to eject the cargo hold 2 to the controller and communication device 5;

[0039] (4) After receiving the request, the controller and the communication verification device 5 control the scissor-type telescopic mechanism 4 to drive the cargo hold 2 to extend out of the building outer wall 11;

[0040] (5) The UBW tag 14 on the drone cooperates with the vertical visual positioning point 9 of the QR code and travels to the precise horizontal position of the cargo hold 2;

[0041] (6) UAV drops cargo onto the bottom plate of warehouse 2 ( Figure 6 ), and then sends a request to retract the cargo hold 2 to the controller and communication device 5;

[0042] (7) The cargo hold 2 is retracted into the cargo hold shell 1, and the self-triggering hatch 6 pops open;

[0043] (8) After the user takes out the goods, he manually closes the self-triggering hatch 6.
