Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone accessories technology, specifically a loading and unloading device for a delivery drone. Background Technology

[0002] The sending and receiving of express parcels has become an integral part of modern life. In cities, relatively convenient and comprehensive express delivery networks have been established, allowing couriers to quickly deliver parcels to consumers. However, in my country's vast rural areas and remote mountainous regions, where settlements are scattered across plains and distances in mountainous areas are long despite short straight-line distances, relying on couriers to deliver parcels significantly reduces efficiency. Therefore, the use of drones for parcel delivery and the development of parcel lockers are gaining attention and are gradually being put into practice.

[0003] Currently, drones and delivery boxes are fixed together with bolts, which is cumbersome to assemble and disassemble. It is also difficult to change the delivery box according to the size of the item, which can easily lead to a waste of transportation resources and reduce the user experience of drone delivery.
