By using the buffer assembly 6, the rubber pad 63 can be fixed to the inner wall of the protective cover 56, thus buffering the protective cover 56 when it comes into contact with the drone, reducing the damage caused by the contact between the protective cover 56 and the drone, thereby improving the effectiveness of the protective device 5.

[0027] Working principle: When using the drone delivery cabinet, the drone reaches the top of the cabinet 1, and then the top panel 2 of the top of the cabinet 1 opens. The drone then places the item into the storage opening on the cabinet 1. At this time, the protective device 5 shields the drone from all sides to reduce the impact of wind resistance on the drone. Then the item is delivered into the cabinet 1, the drone takes off and leaves the cabinet 1, and finally the top panel 2 is closed to complete the item delivery. The person retrieving the item can retrieve it through the front controller 3 and the exit 4 of the cabinet 1. When using the protective device 5, the placement block 53 is inserted into the square tube 51, and then the first bolt 52 is inserted into the square tube 51 to thread and fix the placement block 53. When the drone reaches the top of the cabinet 1, the hydraulic rod 54 fixed on one side of the placement block 53 is activated, causing the connecting plate 55 fixed at the output end of the hydraulic rod 54 to move downward. Then, the protective cover 56 fixed on one side of the connecting plate 55 reaches the top of the cabinet 1 to shield and protect the drone reaching the top of the cabinet 1, preventing the drone from being affected by the wind resistance of strong winds and causing the drone to be unable to stop stably. By using the protective device 5, the top of the cabinet 1 can be shielded and protected, reducing the impact of strong winds on the drone's stopping, so that the drone can stop stably on the cabinet 1 to drop items, thereby improving the use effect of the drone drop cabinet.

[0028] When using the protective cover 56, the rubber pad 63 can be moved to fit against the inner wall of the protective cover 56, and the mounting plate 62 fixed on one side of the rubber pad 63 contacts the upper end of the protective cover 56. Then, the second bolt 6152 is rotated to thread the second bolt 6152 through the mounting plate 62 and fix it to the protective cover 56, thus fixing the position of the rubber pad 63. This cushions the protective cover 56 when it comes into contact with the drone. By using the cushioning component 6, the rubber pad 63 can be fixed to the inner wall of the protective cover 56, which cushions the protective cover 56 when it comes into contact with the drone, reducing the damage caused by the contact between the protective cover 56 and the drone, thereby improving the effectiveness of the protective device 5.
