[0035] This embodiment provides a loading box assembly with high loading capacity; adjustable loading space size and simple adjustment; and simple and compact structure.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the loading box assembly includes a box body 100 and multiple pull-out boxes 200. The box body 100 includes a first base plate 110 and multiple side plates 120. The number of side plates 120 can be the same as or more than the number of sides of the first base plate 110. For example, the number of side plates 120 can be four, five, six, or eight. The first base plate 110 is fixed to the back of the drone, and the multiple side plates 120 are arranged end to end around the first base plate 110 to form a first loading cavity. The side plates 120 are provided with strip grooves 121. In this embodiment, each side plate 120 is provided with a strip groove 121. Each pull-out box 200 corresponds to a strip groove 121.

Each pull-out box 200 includes a second base plate 210, a pull plate 220, and two partitions 230. The second base plate 210 is movably inserted through the strip groove 121 of the side plate 120. The pull plate 220 is connected to the second base plate 210, allowing the second base plate 210 to slide into or out of the first loading cavity along the first base plate 110 through the strip groove 121. The two partitions 230 are rotatably connected to the opposite ends of the second base plate 210. The two partitions 230 can be folded sequentially onto the second base plate 210 and pass through the strip groove 121 with the second base plate 210, allowing the pull-out box 200 to be retracted into or pulled out of the first loading cavity. The two partitions 230 can be unfolded and form a second loading cavity with the pull plate 220, the second base plate 210, and the corresponding side plate 120, serving as a spare loading space and increasing the load capacity of the loading box assembly. In practical use, the number of pull-out boxes (200) can be selected according to needs, which not only improves the versatility of the loading box assembly for different loading requirements, but also makes the structure of the loading box assembly compact. At the same time, the loading box assembly has a simple structure and the loading space size is easy to adjust.
[0038] Optionally, the side panel 120 is perpendicularly connected to the first bottom plate 110, the pull plate 220 is perpendicularly connected to the second bottom plate 210, and the partition 230 is perpendicular to the second bottom plate 210 when opened, so as to maximize the loading space of the box body 100 and the pull-out box 200 and the stability of the items in the loading space.
[0039] Furthermore, the first base plate 110 is quadrilateral, and the number of side plates 120 is four, that is, the box body 100 is a square box, which is simple to manufacture and low in cost.
[0040] Optionally, the number of pull-out boxes 200 is the same as the number of side panels 120, that is, each side panel 120 is provided with a pull-out box 200, which increases the adjustable range of the loading space size of the loading box assembly and maximizes the maximum load capacity of the loading box assembly.
[0041] Optionally, the loading box assembly also includes a box cover 130, which can cover the opening of the box body 100 to prevent items in the first loading cavity from falling out and improve the safety performance of the loading box assembly.
[0042] Furthermore, the loading box assembly also includes a first handle 131 and a plurality of second handles 221. The first handle 131 is located on the outside of the box cover 130 to facilitate the opening of the box cover 130. The second handles 221 correspond one-to-one with the pull-out box 200. The second handles 221 are located on the outside of the pull plate 220 to facilitate the pushing and pulling out of the first loading cavity of the pull-out box 200.
[0043] This embodiment also provides a cargo-carrying drone device, which has a high cargo capacity, simple adjustment of loading space size, simple and compact structure, and high transportation safety.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cargo-carrying drone device includes a drone component 3, a clamping component 2, and the aforementioned loading box component 1. The clamping component 2 is fixed to the cargo-carrying platform on the back of the drone component 3 and is used to fix the loading box component 1.
[0045] Based on the above design, the clamp assembly 2 is fixed to the rear cargo platform of the drone assembly 3, and the clamp assembly 2 is used to fix the loading box assembly 1. The loading box assembly 1 has a high load capacity and adjustable loading space, and the adjustment operation is simple, thus increasing the load capacity of the cargo drone device. The loading box assembly 1 is located on the back of the drone assembly 3, allowing the drone assembly 3 to support the loading box assembly 1, and it is fixed by the clamp assembly 2. The loading box assembly 1 has strong stability, which can ensure the safety of the transport of goods, and it is also convenient for loading and unloading goods, making it suitable for transporting miniature items.
[0046] It should be noted that UAV component 3 includes the fuselage, wings, and landing gear. The clamping assembly 2 and loading container assembly 1 are located on the cargo platform at the back (top) of the fuselage. The structure and connections of the fuselage, wings, and landing gear, as well as the flight control of the UAV components, are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamping assembly 2 includes two first baffles 310 disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the box body 100 and two second baffles 320 disposed opposite to each other at the other ends of the box body 100. The two first baffles 310 can move closer or further away from each other to clamp or release the box body 100, and the two second baffles 320 can move closer or further away from each other to clamp or release the box body 100. The clamping assembly 2 has a simple structure and low installation cost.
[0048] In this embodiment, two first baffles 310 and two second baffles 320 are arranged around the box body 100. In order to improve the space utilization of the entire cargo-carrying drone device, the cargo platform of the drone component 3 is provided with a flat groove, the clamp component 2 is disposed in the flat groove, and the loading box component 1 is also disposed in the flat groove.
[0049] It should be noted that the first baffle 310 and the second baffle 320 are located near the bottom of the box body 100, below the strip groove, to avoid the pull-out box 200 from being pulled out.
[0050] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 2 also includes a first lead screw 410 and a second lead screw 420. The first lead screw 410 and the second lead screw 420 are arranged vertically. The first lead screw 410 is threadedly connected to two first baffles 310, and the second lead screw 420 is threadedly connected to two second baffles 320. The two threads at the connection points of the first lead screw and the two first baffles 310 are in opposite directions, and the two threads at the connection points of the second lead screw and the two second baffles 320 are in opposite directions. The first lead screw 410 and the second lead screw 420 rotate respectively, causing the two first baffles 310 to move along the first lead screw 410 and the two second baffles 320 to move along the second lead screw, so that the two first baffles 310 move closer to each other or further away, and the two second baffles 320 move closer to each other or further away, to clamp or release the box body 100.
[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamp assembly 2 also includes a drive member 500, a first bevel gear 610, and a second bevel gear 620. The drive member 500 is fixed to the loading platform, and its output end is connected to the end of the first lead screw 410, driving the first lead screw 410 to rotate. The first bevel gear 610 is located between the two first baffles 310 and fixed to the first lead screw 410. The two second bevel gears 620 are relatively fixed to the second lead screw 420 and can respectively mesh with the first bevel gear 610. When the first lead screw 410 rotates, it drives the second lead screw 420 to rotate through the first bevel gear 610 and the second bevel gear 620, causing the two first baffles 310 and the two second baffles 320 to move synchronously to clamp or release the box body 100.
[0052] In this embodiment, the driving component 500 is a motor, and the output shaft of the motor passes through the side wall of the flat groove and is connected to the first lead screw 410.
[0053] Furthermore, the clamp assembly 2 also includes two first sliding sleeves 710, two second sliding sleeves 720, two first connecting plates 810, and two second connecting plates 820. One of the first connecting plates 810 is connected to the first baffle 310 facing away from the drive member 500 and the bottom wall of the flat groove. The first sliding sleeve 710 is sleeved and fixed to the first lead screw 410 and passes through the first connecting plate 810 to be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the flat groove. The other first connecting plate 810 is connected to the first baffle 310 facing the drive member 500 and the bottom wall of the flat groove. The two second connecting plates 820 are connected to the two second baffles 320 and fixed to the bottom wall of the flat groove. The two second sliding sleeves 720 are sleeved and fixed to both ends of the second lead screw 420 and pass through the corresponding ends of the second connecting plates 820 to be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the flat groove.
[0054] In this embodiment, the bottom of the flat groove is provided with a movable groove. The first connecting plate 810 and the second connecting plate 820 are both locked in the movable groove and can move along the movable groove, thereby limiting the movement range of the clamp assembly 2.
