[0051] In practical applications, the delivery device is set at the bottom of the refrigerator, such as Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between a refrigerator and a delivery device, including a delivery device 4, a refrigerator 1, a refrigerator display screen 2, and a refrigerator handle 3.

[0052] like Figure 3As shown, it is a front view schematic diagram of the refrigerator and the delivery device in the open state. A plurality of delivery devices are arranged inside the refrigerator 1, and the delivery devices include a first motor 16, a support plate 1a, a partition plate 1b and a coil spring 1c. The plurality of delivery devices are divided into two groups, which are fixed in parallel from bottom to top in the refrigerator, with a channel in the middle as the delivery channel, and the partition plate 1b is arranged on the support plate 1a to form a cargo lane. The goods are classified and placed on the cargo lane, and the coil spring 1c is arranged on the cargo lane. A coil spring 1c is arranged on each cargo lane, and the pitch of the coil spring 1c is used to accommodate the goods.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, it is a side view of the refrigerator and the delivery device, the first motor 16 of the delivery device, and multiple transmission devices are also arranged inside the refrigerator 1, and the transmission device includes a second motor 17 and a transmission belt 18. Each first motor 16 drives the corresponding coil spring 1c to rotate and push the goods to move away from the first motor 16, so that the goods on the cargo channel fall on the transmission belt 18 of the corresponding transmission device, and the second motor 17 drives the corresponding transmission belt 18 to rotate, and the second motor 17 drives the corresponding transmission belt 18 to transport the goods to the delivery channel between the two groups of delivery devices, and the goods fall from the delivery channel to the cargo warehouse 10 raised by the delivery device 4.

[0054] like Figure 5 4 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the delivery device with the lid open. The delivery device 4 includes a running drive wheel 5, a box body 6 and a box lid 7.

A first limit card 7a is arranged on the box lid 7 to limit the rising height of the cargo bin 10; a lifting device is arranged inside the box body 6, and the lifting device includes a screw rod 11, a fixing rod 12. A movable frame 13. One end of the screw rod 11 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 6 through a bearing 14. The stepping motor 15 drives the screw rod 11 to rotate. The screw rod 11 is passed through the movable frame 13 through a nut 13a. The fixed rod 12 is passed through the movable frame 13. One end of the fixed rod 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 6, and the other end is provided with a second limit card 12a for limiting the rising height of the movable frame 13. One end of the cargo hold rod 10a is fixedly connected to the cargo hold 10, and the other end is fixed to the movable frame 13.

[0055] like Figure 6 , which is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the delivery device in a closed state of the box cover, an electronic lock 9 is provided on the box cover 7, and the top of the cargo compartment 10 is lowered into the box body 6. When the box cover 7 is closed, the electronic lock 9 is locked.

[0056] Optionally, according to the user habit model, the user habit position is matched in the time period when the user is used to drinking water. For example, at 7:00 in the morning, the user is used to drinking mineral water. The first motor 16 of the corresponding delivery device of the mineral water drives the corresponding spiral spring 1c to rotate while pushing the mineral water to move to the corresponding conveyor belt 18. At the same time, the electronic lock 9 is opened, and the stepper motor 15 reverses to drive the movable frame 13 and the cargo warehouse rod 10a to move upward, driving the cargo warehouse 10 to rise. When the movable frame 13 rises to the second limit card 12a on the fixed rod 12, the top of the cargo warehouse 10 at this time presses the first limit card 7a of the box cover 7, the stepper motor 15 stops reversing, and the cargo warehouse 10 stops rising. When the mineral water falls on the corresponding conveyor belt 18, the corresponding second motor 17 drives the conveyor belt 18 to rotate, so that the mineral water is transported to the delivery channel between the two groups of delivery devices, and the mineral water falls from the delivery channel to the cargo warehouse 10 raised by the delivery device 4.

[0057] Optionally, according to multiple tests, the time taken for the cargo hold rising process is 2 seconds, and the time taken for transferring cargo to the cargo hold is 5 seconds.

[0058] Optionally, after the cargo warehouse 10 receives the mineral water, it detects that the corresponding first motor 16 stops running, and then controls the stepper motor 15 to drive the movable frame 13 and the cargo warehouse rod 10a to move and make the cargo warehouse 10 descend. When the movable frame 13 descends to the bottom of the box body 6, the stepper motor 15 stops running. At this time, the cargo warehouse 10 is lowered into the box body 6, the box cover 7 is closed, the electronic lock 9 is locked, and the delivery device is closed.

[0059] Optionally, after the delivery device 4 receives the mineral water and is closed, the delivery device is controlled to move to a set target position, such as the bedside. When the delivery device 4 reaches the target position, the electronic lock 9 is opened, and the stepper motor 15 reverses to drive the movable frame 13 and the cargo compartment rod 10a to make the cargo compartment 10 rise. When the movable frame 13 rises to the second limit card 12a on the fixed rod 12, the top of the cargo compartment 10 now presses against the first limit card 7a on the box cover 7, and the cargo compartment 10 stops rising, and the mineral water is displayed in front of the user. After the mineral water is taken away or after a set time, such as 10 minutes, the stepper motor 15 is controlled to operate to drive the movable frame 13 and the cargo compartment rod 10a to move so that the cargo compartment 10 descends. When the movable frame 13 descends to the bottom of the box body 6, the cargo compartment 10 at this time descends into the box body 6, the stepper motor 15 stops running, the box cover 7 is closed, the electronic lock 9 is locked, and the delivery device is closed. Then, the delivery device is controlled to return to the initial position, that is, the bottom of the refrigerator.

[0060] Optionally, a pressure sensor is provided in the cargo hold 10, and the pressure sensor detects the change in pressure value to determine whether the goods are received or taken away. When the pressure value increases, it is determined that the goods are received, and when the pressure value decreases, it is determined that the goods are taken away.

[0061] Optionally, a photoelectric switch is provided in the cargo hold 10 to detect whether cargo has been received or taken away from the cargo hold.

[0062] Optionally, during the process of the delivery device moving toward the target location, if the distance between the delivery device and the target location is less than or equal to a first set threshold, the delivery device is controlled to stop moving. Optionally, the first set threshold is 0.5 meters.

[0063] Optionally, the delivery device is battery powered.

[0064] Optionally, the delivery device is provided with a running drive wheel and a drive motor, which can enable the delivery device to move on a plane. Camera devices are also provided at the front end and sides of the delivery device. By collecting graphics and identifying them, road information can be obtained in real time. When encountering obstacles such as steps, the controller controls the delivery device to turn or stop running to prevent collision or falling. At the same time, a radar ultrasonic sensor is also provided to detect the distance between the delivery device and surrounding objects when it moves. A photoelectric encoder disk is provided on the running drive wheel of the delivery device, which can detect and control the wheel speed to achieve positioning and path planning.

[0065] In actual applications, a camera or infrared sensor is used to detect the target location, such as a sofa, dining table, bed, etc. If no one is detected at the target location, the delivery device is not controlled to deliver goods, and the delivery device is not controlled to deliver goods. In this way, it can avoid wasting electricity by delivering goods when no one is there.

[0066] If the target location is detected, such as someone on the bed, if it is not during the user's habitual water collection time period, the delivery device will not be controlled to deliver the goods, nor will the delivery device be controlled to deliver the goods. For example, if someone is detected on the sofa at the target location, and the current time is 13:00 in the afternoon, the user habitual water collection time period corresponding to the user habitual model is matched to be 12:00 to 14:00, and the user habitual location corresponding to this time period is the cola in the delivery device in the first row and second column, the delivery device is controlled to move the cola in the delivery device in the first row and second column to the transmission device, and then to the delivery device through the transmission device. Then the delivery device is controlled to deliver the cola to the sofa. When the delivery device arrives at the sofa, a voice prompt is played to the user, for example, it is time for you to drink water! The purpose of prompting the user to drink water is achieved; and the delivery device is turned on, so that the user can easily get the cola that the user likes to drink, so that the user can drink the water that he is used to drinking in time, which improves the user experience.

[0067] Optionally, after the user takes out the cola from the delivery device, or after a set time, for example, 10 minutes, the delivery device is turned off and returns to the initial position. In this way, the delivery device can be prevented from being in the delivery state for a long time, resulting in excessive power consumption, and the delivery device can be returned to the initial position in time, which can save electricity.

[0068] Optionally, when a delivery job is completed, the delivery device returns to the initial position and detects the sofa again after a set interval of 1 hour. When it is detected that there is someone on the sofa, the water delivery reminder continues.

[0069] Optionally, the target position is detected every set interval of 1 hour.
