DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.
[0037] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0038] Take-out, generally refers to the sale of food for customers to take away from the store, usually in the form of packaging. In a broad sense, all sellers who provide out-of-home services and goods can be called take-out, such as vegetables, fruits, meals, medicines, daily necessities, etc.
[0039] At present, consumers generally order take-out through intelligent devices, and delivery personnel provide delivery services.
[0040] However, in the current take-out delivery process, for areas where delivery personnel cannot enter, temporary placement points are generally set up, and delivery personnel temporarily place take-out, and consumers take the goods. In some areas, there may be no take-out placement points, and delivery personnel can only wait for consumers to take the goods before leaving.
[0041] The existing take-out delivery method causes confusion in the management of take-out, which easily leads to the loss of take-out. Moreover, in the case of a large number of take-out, consumers need to spend a lot of time looking for their own take-out, which leads to a long time for consumers to take take-out, and may also lead to the wrong take-out, resulting in a poor consumer experience. Moreover, the time from when the take-out is delivered to the temporary placement point to when the consumer takes the take-out is long, and the overall delivery efficiency is low.
[0042] Although some areas currently have intelligent storage cabinets, for example, Fuchuang intelligent cabinets, the cost of intelligent storage cabinets is high, and most areas (for example, science and technology parks, buildings, etc.) will not set up intelligent storage cabinets to save take-out for consumers.
[0043] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art of take-out delivery, the application provides a take-out storage device and an intelligent delivery system.
[0044] Embodiment 1:
[0045] Figure 1 The structure diagram of the take-out storage device provided by an embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 1. The take-out storage device of the embodiment comprises:
[0046] The storage rack 1 of the embodiment is provided with at least one hanging mechanism, wherein the hanging mechanism comprises a hanging body 2.
[0047] The take-out delivery personnel can hang the take-out to be delivered through the hanging body 2. The outer package of the packed take-out is generally provided with a hanging piece that can be hung on the hanging body 2. The hanging piece can be, for example, a handle of a handbag.

Figure 2
[0049] When the opening and closing part 201 rotates, the hanging body 2 can form a first open state or a second open state. In the embodiment, the first open state can enable the take-out delivery personnel to hang the take-out on the hanging body, and the second open state can enable the take-out to slide along the opening and closing part and fall onto the storage hook installed on the robot body when the delivery robot takes the goods.
[0050] The hanging body of the embodiment can further comprise an enclosing part 203, which is located above the base 204 and is arranged opposite to the opening and closing part 201.
[0051] Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the hanging body 2 in the first open state provided by an embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 3. When the opening and closing part 201 rotates, the opening and closing part 201 can be spaced apart from the enclosing part 203 by a first opening 5, so that the hanging body 2 forms the first open state with the first opening 5, as shown in FIG. 3. Figure 3
[0052] In the first open state, the take-out delivery personnel can hang the take-out to be delivered on the hanging body 2.
[0053] When the take-out delivery personnel delivers the take-out to an office building or the like and needs to hang the take-out on the hanging body 2, the opening and closing part 201 is rotated to the first open state of the hanging body 2, and the take-out delivery personnel can hang the take-out on the hanging body 2 through the first opening 5.
[0054] Figure 4 A schematic view of the hanging body 2 in the second open state is given, and when the opening and closing part 201 is rotated, the opening and closing part 201 can also be spaced from the surrounding part 203 by a second opening 6, so that the hanging body 2 forms a second open state with the second opening 6. Wherein the first opening 5 is smaller than the second opening 6.
[0055] As shown in the first open state, the take-out to be delivered on the hanging body 2 can slide along the opening and closing part 201 to the storage hook 4 of the delivery robot 3. Figure 4 When the delivery robot 3 moves to the preset pickup position of the storage rack 1 to pick up the take-out, the storage hook 4 of the delivery robot 3 is opened, and the opening and closing part 201 is rotated to the second open state of the hanging body, so that the take-out hung on the hanging body 2 falls into the storage hook 4 along the opening and closing part 201, and then the delivery robot 3 delivers the take-out to the target address.
[0056] Optionally, when the opening and closing part 201 is rotated, the hanging body 2 can also form a closed state, and in the closed state, the opening and closing part 201 and the surrounding part 203 form a closed structure, so that the hanging body and the storage rack 1 form a closed structure.
[0057] Of course, in other embodiments, the surrounding part 203 can also not be provided, and when the opening and closing part 201 is rotated, the end far away from the base 202 (i.e. the free end) can be directly spaced from the storage rack to form a closed structure, or spaced from the storage rack by the first opening or the second opening.
[0058]
[0059] A schematic view of the hanging body 2 in the closed state is given, as shown in the closed state, the take-out is enclosed in the hanging body 2 and cannot be taken out, so that it can be ensured that the take-out will not be taken away by other irrelevant personnel, and the loss or misplacement of the take-out can be avoided. Figure 5 Figure 5
[0060] The embodiment adopts a delivery robot to take take-out food from the storage rack and deliver the take-out food to a target address. A storage hook is arranged on the delivery robot. When the delivery robot moves to a preset take-out position of the storage rack to take the take-out food, the corresponding opening and closing part is in the second open state, the take-out food hung on the hanging body falls along the opening and closing part to the storage hook of the delivery robot. After receiving the take-out food, the delivery robot closes the storage hook and leaves the storage rack, and delivers the take-out food according to the delivery destination address.
[0061] In the embodiment, the storage hook of the delivery robot corresponds to the hanging body on the storage rack one by one at the preset take-out position, so that the take-out food on the hanging body can fall on the storage hook.
[0062] Optionally, a guide structure is arranged at the free end of the opening and closing part, which is used to guide the take-out food to be delivered to the storage hook of the delivery robot, so that the take-out food can not fall during the falling process, and the delivery robot can take the food successfully.
[0063] Further, the hanging mechanism of the embodiment further comprises a driving part (not shown in the figure).
[0064] The driving part of the embodiment can be a driving motor, which is used to drive the rotation of the opening and closing part 201, so as to convert the hanging body 2 between the first open state, the second open state and the closed state.
[0065] The storage rack 1 of the embodiment further comprises a control part, which is used to control the work of the driving part. Optionally, when the delivery robot moves to the preset take-out position to take the food, the control part sends a take-out control signal to drive the driving part to drive the hanging body to the second open state.
[0066] Optionally, if the natural state of the hanging body is the closed state, the control part is further used to send a storage control signal to the driving part to drive the opening and closing part 201 to the first open state when the take-out food delivery personnel stores the take-out food in the storage rack.
[0067] If the natural state of the hanging body 2 is the first open state, i.e. when there is no take-out food stored on the hanging body 2, the hanging body 2 is in the first open state. When the take-out food personnel stores the take-out food, the control part does not need to send a control signal, and the take-out food personnel can directly select any hanging body in the first open state to hang the take-out food.
[0068] Optionally, the control part is further used to send a closing control signal to the driving part to drive the opening and closing part 201 to rotate when the take-out food delivery personnel hangs the take-out food on the hanging body 2, so as to make the hanging body in the closed state.
[0069] Optionally, a code scanner (not shown in the figure) can also be arranged on the storage rack of the embodiment.
[0070] In the natural state of the hanging body 2 is the closed state, when the delivery personnel need to put the take-out in the hanging body 2, the delivery personnel shows the storage two-dimensional code received when the user orders to the code scanner for scanning to trigger the storage instruction.
[0071] After the control part receives the storage instruction, the hanging body 2 currently in the closed state is selected as the target hanging body, and the storage control signal is sent to make the driving part drive the target hanging body 2 from the closed state to the first open state, so that the delivery personnel hangs the take-out on the target hanging body 2, and then controls the hanging body 2 to be in the closed state again.
[0072] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 The storage rack 1 in the embodiment includes a base 101 and a storage shelf, and the storage shelf in the embodiment includes a first storage shelf 102 and a second storage shelf 103, wherein the first storage shelf 102 and the second storage shelf 103 are installed on the base 101, and the first storage shelf 102 and the second storage shelf 103 are oppositely arranged.
[0073] The base 101 of the embodiment is provided with a parking position for accommodating a delivery robot to stop, and the delivery robot can enter the opening and stop at a preset pickup position.
[0074] The first storage shelf 102 and the second storage shelf 103 of the embodiment are respectively provided with a hanging body 2, and the two sides of the robot body of the delivery robot 3 are respectively provided with a storage hook 4 corresponding to the hanging body 2, so that when the delivery robot moves to the preset pickup position to pick up the goods, the hanging body 2 storing the take-out on the storage rack 1 can be in the second open state at the same time, so that the delivery robot can take away all the take-out at one time and deliver them together, improving the work efficiency.
[0075] Optionally, the embodiment is provided with a guide structure 104 at the opening of the base 101 of the storage rack 1, which can guide the delivery robot to the preset pickup position, avoid the parking position of the delivery robot from being deviated, and cause the storage hook and the hanging body to be unable to correspond, thereby causing the pickup failure.
[0076] The embodiment assumes that the chassis of the delivery robot is circular, and the walking wheels of the delivery robot are located on both sides of the chassis, and the embodiment Figure 1 The base 101 structure and the guide structure 104 shown are designed for the above-mentioned delivery robot. For different structure shapes of the robot, different bases and guide structures can be set when picking up the goods, which are not limited in the embodiment.
[0077] The storage rack of the embodiment can be placed in the interior of a hotel, a building, etc., at a position of a personnel entrance, for example, for a hotel, the storage rack can be placed at the inner side of the hotel door and at a position at the side of the hotel door, a delivery window of a takeout personnel is arranged at the position, the hanging mechanism of the storage rack is arranged corresponding to the delivery window, the takeout personnel can hang the takeout on the hanging body of the storage rack through the delivery window, and meanwhile, the delivery of the robot is not affected.
[0078] In the embodiment, the takeout personnel can hang the takeout on the hanging body of the storage rack without entering the hotel door, and meanwhile, the delivery robot can take away the takeout without going out of the hotel door, so that the contactless delivery is ensured.
[0079] The takeout storage device of the embodiment can enable the takeout delivery personnel to store the takeout on the hanging body, and then enable the delivery robot to deliver the takeout to a destination address, so that the time wasted by the consumer in searching for the takeout is reduced, the delivery efficiency is greatly improved, and meanwhile, the situation of taking the wrong takeout and losing the takeout is avoided.
[0080] Embodiment 2
[0081] For some takeout of catering, when the takeout slides from the hanging mechanism to the storage hook of the delivery robot, the soup in the takeout may be spilled.
[0082] To solve the technical problem, as shown in Figure 2 The difference between the embodiment and embodiment 1 is that:
[0083] The opening and closing part 201 is arranged to include a main rotating part 2011 and a secondary rotating part 2012, wherein a first shaft rotatably installs the main rotating part 2011 on the base 202, and a second shaft rotatably installs the secondary rotating part 2012 on the base 202.
[0084] The main rotating part 2011 includes oppositely arranged first and second side plates, and the secondary rotating part 2012 is located between the first and second side plates. When the hanging body 2 is in the closed state, the end of the secondary rotating part 2012 is flush with the end of the main rotating part 2011.
[0085] In the process of rotation of the main rotating part 2011, the secondary rotating part 2012 can be driven to move along the axial direction of the main rotating part, and when the main rotating part 2011 is rotated to the second opening state, the end of the main rotating part 2011 away from the base 202 forms a gap in the axial direction, wherein the gap enables at least part of the storage hook of the delivery robot to pass through.
[0086] Optionally, the first side plate and the second side plate are each provided with a waist-shaped hole 2013 in the axial direction, and the auxiliary rotating member is provided with a first protruding part and a second protruding part on two sides thereof, wherein the first protruding part and the second protruding part are respectively located in the corresponding waist-shaped hole 2013 and can move in the waist-shaped hole 2013.
[0087] The main rotating member 2011 of the embodiment is driven by the driving part and can rotate around the first shaft. When the main rotating member 2011 rotates, the auxiliary rotating member 2012 can be driven to rotate around the second shaft. In the process of rotating around the second shaft, the auxiliary rotating member 2012 moves along the waist-shaped hole 2013 in the direction of approaching the base 202 through the protruding part, so that the end parts of the first side plate and the second side plate are spaced apart to form a gap.
[0088] When the main rotating member 2011 rotates to the second opening state, at least part of the storage hook of the delivery robot can pass through the gap, so as to directly receive the take-out food.
[0089] In summary, in the second opening state, the gap is formed at the end of the opening and closing part away from the base, so that the storage hook can pass through, the take-out food can be directly received, the take-out food is prevented from falling on the storage hook in a falling manner, the take-out food is more stably slid onto the storage hook, and spilling of the take-out food is avoided.
[0090] Embodiment 3:

When the delivery robot moves to a preset taking position, the sensing part is triggered, so that the sensing part sends a sensing signal to the control part.
[0097] When the control unit receives the induction signal, the take-out control signal is outputted, so that the corresponding opening and closing part is driven to the second open state, so that the take-out on the hanging body falls to the storage hook of the delivery robot.
[0098] Optionally, in an embodiment, the induction part can be a photoelectric induction sensor.
[0099] When the delivery robot moves to the preset take-out position, the photoelectric induction sensor can be triggered to send an induction signal to the control unit.
[0100] Optionally, in an embodiment, the induction part can also be a charging device, and the delivery robot is provided with a charging interface.
[0101] When the delivery robot moves to the preset take-out position, the charging device is docked with the charging interface of the delivery robot, at this time, the control unit receives the charging signal of the charging device, so as to determine that the delivery robot moves to the preset take-out position to prepare to take out the take-out, at this time, the control unit outputs the take-out control signal, so that the corresponding opening and closing part is driven to the second open state, so that the take-out falls to the storage hook of the delivery robot.
[0102] The induction part of the embodiment can also be other devices capable of detecting that the delivery robot moves to the preset take-out position, and the specific type of the induction part is not limited in the embodiment.
[0103] The embodiment sets the induction part, so that the storage device can know whether the delivery robot moves to the preset take-out position to prepare to take out, avoid misjudgment caused by inaccurate positioning of the delivery robot itself, so that the take-out cannot accurately fall into the storage hook of the robot, and then the robot delivery task fails, and the success rate of the delivery robot delivery task is improved.

[0117] Optionally, the storage hook of the embodiment comprises a hook body and a locking mechanism, one end of the hook body is fixed to the robot body of the delivery robot, the other end is arranged in a spaced manner with the robot body, and the locking mechanism makes the storage hook have a locking state and an open state.
[0118] When the storage hook is in the open state, the take-out food on the hanging mechanism can fall onto the storage hook; after the take-out food falls onto the storage hook, the storage hook turns to the locking state.
[0119] The locking mechanism of the embodiment can be a latch type locking mechanism, which is a relatively well-known technology in the art. The specific structure and principle of the latch type locking mechanism will not be described in detail.
[0120] When the delivery robot takes the takeout, the storage mechanism is controlled to be in an open state, so that the hook body can receive the takeout. After the takeout is hung on the hook body, the locking mechanism is locked with the hook body, so that the takeout is locked after being hung on the hook body, avoiding the loss of the takeout during delivery or being taken away by others.
[0121] In one embodiment, the specific structure of the storage hook of the delivery robot can refer to the hook module disclosed in the patent document with the application number "202023327967.0" and the invention name "mobile robot", or the hook assembly in the patent document with the application number "CN201922148709.7" and the invention name "self-propelled device".
[0122] The storage hook of the embodiment can avoid the situation that the takeout falls off during delivery due to obstacle avoidance or obstacle crossing actions, and can also prevent the takeout from being illegally taken away, ensuring safety.
[0123] The intelligent delivery system of the embodiment of the application temporarily stores the takeout by setting a takeout storage device, and delivers the takeout by using a delivery robot, without the need for the consumer to personally take the goods, improving the delivery efficiency and the purchase experience of the consumer, and greatly reducing the probability of taking the wrong takeout and losing the takeout.
[0124] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, they should be considered as the scope of the present application.
[0125] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the application, some modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the protection scope of the application should be subject to the appended claims.
