[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention:

[0022] The drone guidance system 2 includes: an information receiving module, an identity recognition and information comparison module, an instruction sending module, and a positioning guidance module. The information receiving module is used to receive express delivery information through a wireless network. The identity recognition and information comparison module is used to compare the drone's identity with the express delivery information. The instruction sending module is used to send opening and closing instructions to the spiral electric window opener. The positioning guidance module is used to guide the drone to a precise coordinate position.

[0023] The drone guidance system is the core control component of the entire integrated curtain wall unit. It includes an information receiving module, an identity recognition and information comparison module, a command sending module, and a positioning and guidance module. The information receiving module connects to an external express delivery management system via a wireless network, receiving express delivery information, including tracking numbers, recipient addresses, and drone numbers. The identity recognition and information comparison module compares the drone's identity with the express delivery information as it approaches the curtain wall unit, ensuring that only a matching drone can proceed with subsequent operations, guaranteeing the accuracy and security of express delivery. After successful information comparison, the command sending module sends a command to the spiral electric window opener, opening the curtain wall unit and the express delivery storage device. The positioning and guidance module guides the drone to a precise coordinate location after the curtain wall unit opens. During guidance, this module can adjust the guidance signal in real time to adapt to different environmental conditions, including but not limited to wind direction, wind speed, and electromagnetic interference, ensuring that the drone accurately releases or retrieves the express delivery at the designated location.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention:

[0025] The spiral electric window opener 3 includes a motor, a screw, a nut, and a transmission mechanism. The motor drives the screw to rotate through the transmission mechanism. The nut cooperates with the screw and is connected to the movable curtain wall frame 5, which drives the movable curtain wall frame 5 to move and realize the opening and closing action. The operating parameters of the motor can be adjusted to control the opening and closing speed and force.

[0026] The spiral-type electric window opener 3 is a key component for realizing the opening and closing action of the curtain wall unit.
