A drive component 9 for driving the threaded rod 7 to rotate is provided on the outer wall of the box body 3.

[0021] The drive assembly 9 includes a worm gear 10 and a worm 11. The worm gear 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the housing 3. The shaft of the worm gear 10 is connected to one end of the threaded rod 7. The worm gear 11 is engaged with the worm gear 10 on one side. A drive motor 12 for driving the worm gear 11 to rotate is installed on the outer wall of the housing 3. A protective shell that encloses the drive assembly 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 3.

[0022] The inner wall of the sliding box 5 is provided with partition 13 and partition 2 14. A limiting groove is opened on the outer wall of one end of partition 13 and partition 2 14. Partition 13 and partition 2 14 are vertically inserted into each other through the limiting groove. The inner wall of the sliding box 5 is provided with multiple slots 15 that are limited and inserted into partition 13 and partition 2 14.

[0023] The drive motor 12 is detachably electrically connected to the controller. The controller is a mature existing technology, and its basic structure and working principle are well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0024] During delivery, the connection positions of partition 13 and partition 214 are adjusted according to the size of the transported items. After partition 13 and partition 214 are inserted into the slot 15, the interior of the sliding box 5 can be divided into spaces of different sizes as needed. The drone body 1 carries the carrier box 2 for flight transport. After reaching the designated location, the drone body 1 lands. After landing, the drive motor 12 drives the worm gear 11 to rotate. Through the transmission of the worm gear 11 and the worm wheel 10, the threaded rod 7 rotates, causing the moving block 8 to move the sliding box 5 in a straight line along the guide groove 6, so that the sliding box 5 is moved out of the box body 3, so that all the items inside the sliding box 5 are exposed to the environment, making it easy to take out the items.

[0025] By setting up a carrying box 2, all items inside the sliding box 5 are fully exposed to the environment when retrieving items, making it easier to remove the items.

[0026] By setting up partition 13 and partition 214, the interior of the sliding box 5 can be divided into spaces of different sizes as needed, making it convenient to place items.

[0027] Example 2: A drone with delivery function. This example is based on Example 1, with the following improvements: Figure 5 As shown, the connecting assembly includes a connecting groove 16 and a connecting plug 17. The connecting groove 16 is provided on the top outer wall of the housing 3. The connecting plug 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the drone body 1. The connecting plug 17 is inserted into the connecting groove 16 for limiting. A fixing rod 18 is slidably connected to the top of the housing 3. A through hole is provided on the outer wall of the connecting plug 17 to limit the fixing rod 18. A fixing screw 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing rod 18. The fixing screw 19 is threadedly connected to the housing 3.

[0028] When replacing the carrier box 2, the fixing screw 19 can be rotated to move the fixing rod 18 laterally. After the fixing screw 19 is separated from the box body 3, the fixing rod 18 can be pulled laterally to separate from the connecting plug 17. At this time, the box body 3 can be separated from the drone body 1. Place the other carrier box 2 under the drone body 1, insert the connecting plug 17 into the connecting slot 16, and then insert the fixing rod 18 to fix the connecting plug 17 to the box body 3. Rotate the fixing screw 19 to fix the fixing rod 18. This allows for quick exchange between a fully loaded carrier box 2 and an empty one, improving delivery efficiency.

[0029] With the addition of connecting components, the fully loaded container 2 can be quickly switched to an empty one, improving delivery efficiency.

[0030] Working principle: During delivery, the connection positions of partition 13 and partition 214 are adjusted according to the size of the transported items. After partition 13 and partition 214 are inserted into the slot 15, the interior of the sliding box 5 can be divided into spaces of different sizes as needed. The drone body 1 carries the carrier box 2 for flight transport. After reaching the designated location, the drone body 1 lands. After landing, the drive motor 12 drives the worm gear 11 to rotate. Through the transmission of the worm gear 11 and the worm wheel 10, the threaded rod 7 rotates, causing the moving block 8 to move the sliding box 5 linearly along the guide groove 6, so that the sliding box 5 is moved out of the box body 3, and all items inside the sliding box 5 are completely removed. Exposed to the environment, it facilitates the removal of items. When changing the carrier box 2, the fixing screw 19 can be rotated to move the fixing rod 18 laterally. After the fixing screw 19 is separated from the box body 3, the fixing rod 18 can be pulled laterally to detach from the connecting plug 17. At this time, the box body 3 can be separated from the drone body 1. Place the other carrier box 2 under the drone body 1, insert the connecting plug 17 into the connecting slot 16, and then insert the fixing rod 18 to fix the connecting plug 17 to the box body 3. Rotate the fixing screw 19 to fix the fixing rod 18. This allows for quick exchange between a fully loaded carrier box 2 and an empty one, improving delivery efficiency.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
