Further, the doorway 41 may be formed as needed, and it is not necessary to form the doorway 41 when the luggage is not carried in and out of the building.

As described above, according to the building structure 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to transport luggage by an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone 2) in the building. For example, when transporting a sample collected from a patient in a hospital room to a laboratory ER, the sample (luggage) is loaded on the drone 2 at the takeoff and landing site 3 of the nurse station NS. At this time, the computer terminal is operated at the nurse station NS to input the information of the package to be transported by the drone 2 and the destination of the package (for example, the inspection room ER). The drone 2 transports the package from the nurse station NS to the examination room ER based on the data input to the computer. After taking off from the takeoff and landing site 3, the drone 2 enters the lateral flight path 6 from the takeoff and landing port 61. After that, it flies through the horizontal flight path 6 and moves to the descending flight path 53 of the vertical flight path 5. After descending the descending flight path 53, the aircraft flies through the lateral flight path 6 corresponding to the hierarchy of the inspection room ER and lands at the takeoff and landing site 3 of the inspection room ER. When the drone 2 passes through the fire protection compartment, the damper 7 opens and closes according to the passage of the drone 2.

Further, since the configuration is relatively simple, it is possible to reduce the labor and cost required for maintenance.
Further, since the flight path 4 has a damper 7 that opens and closes according to the passage of the drone 2 at a position corresponding to the fire prevention section, it is possible to prevent the fire smoke from spreading rapidly in the event of a fire through the flight path 4. be able to.

Further, since the vertical flight path 5 is divided into an ascending flight path 52 for ascending the drone 2 and a descending flight path 53 for descending the drone 2, the plurality of drones 2 are used at the same time. Even when a plurality of loads are transported, the drones 2 do not come into contact with each other in the vertical flight path 5 and the drones 2 are not hindered from moving up and down. Further, since the vertical flight path 5 is provided with the fall prevention door 55, damage to the drone 2 can be suppressed even if the drone 2 falls for some reason.
Further, since the lower surface of the lateral flight path 6 is made of a transparent plate and the inside of the lateral flight path 6 can be confirmed from the lower side, the maintenance of the lateral flight path 6 is easy, and in the unlikely event of luggage or luggage or It is easy to find even if the drone 2 falls.
