[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cargo transportation, and in particular, to a cargo warehouse and a delivery robot. Background Art

[0002] Existing warehouses are usually equipped with removable partitions so that the storage space in the warehouse can be changed with the size of the goods. When the size of the goods is small, partitions can be installed in the warehouse to divide the storage space into different sub-spaces for storing different goods; when the size of the goods is large, the partitions can be removed to merge the two smaller sub-spaces into a larger storage space.

[0003] In the prior art, partitions are usually detachably installed in the cargo hold by bolt connection. The process of installing and removing the partitions requires the use of tools, which is cumbersome to operate. In addition, the removed partitions are inconvenient to store and are easily lost. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present disclosure provides a warehouse, comprising:

[0006] A warehouse body, wherein a storage space for storing goods is formed inside;

[0007] a partition disposed in the storage space, the partition being rotatably connected to the bin body and having a separating state and a storing state, wherein the partition divides the storage space into two sub-spaces in the separating state, and wherein the partition is close to the inner wall of the bin body so that the two sub-spaces communicate with each other;

[0008] The locking structure includes a movable limiting member, which is movably connected to the warehouse body. In the separation state, at least part of the movable limiting member presses against the partition to limit the rotation of the partition.

[0014] Optionally, the operating mechanism further includes a reset elastic member, one end of which is connected to the bracket.

[0015] Optionally, the warehouse body includes a warehouse door and a back panel arranged opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction, a top panel and a bottom panel arranged opposite to each other in the top-to-bottom direction, and two side panels arranged opposite to each other in the left-to-right direction, the warehouse door, the back panel, the top panel, the bottom panel, and the two side panels jointly define the accommodating space, an outer cover is provided above the top panel, and the warehouse door includes a first warehouse door and a second warehouse door corresponding to the two subspaces respectively;

[0016] The slide groove is formed on the top plate and extends along the front-to-back direction. The operating mechanism is located between the top plate and the outer cover. The operating part can move along the left-right direction under the action of an external force.

[0017] The upper ends of the first and second compartment doors extend upward to form flanges protruding from the top plate. Along the front-to-back direction, the flanges can block the operating part, or the flanges and the outer cover can jointly block the operating part. In the process of the limit block moving from a position offset from the notch to a position aligned with the notch, the operating part moves from above one of the two subspaces to above the other subspace.

[0023] In the cargo hold described above, when the partition is in the separating state, the movable stopper abuts against the partition and restricts its rotation, thereby dividing the storage space into two sub-spaces. The two sub-spaces can be used to store different goods, thereby effectively utilizing the cargo hold space. When the partition is switched from the separating state to the storage state, the movable stopper can be manipulated to move so that the movable stopper moves out of the way of the partition, releasing the rotation restriction on the partition. The partition can then rotate to a position close to the inner wall of the cargo hold, and the two sub-spaces are connected to form a single storage space, allowing the cargo hold to store larger goods, thereby improving the versatility of the cargo hold and making it suitable for transporting goods of different sizes. Compared to the prior art method of removing and installing the partition by bolts, in the cargo hold described above, the user can control the locking structure to abut against or out of the way of the partition, so that the partition can be switched between the separating state and the storage state by rotating, thereby changing the size of the storage space within the cargo hold. The switching method of the partition is simple and convenient, and the partition is always located inside the cargo hold, making it easy to store the partition and not easily lost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0037] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "up, down, left, right, front, and back" refer to the up, down, left, right, front, and back of the warehouse when it is in use. Specifically, "up, down" can refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper and lower parts shown in the figure, and the left and right parts can refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 4 The left and right shown in the figure, and the "front and back" can refer to the following Figure 4 The terms "front" and "back" and "inside" and "outside" shown refer to the inside and outside of the outline of the relevant component. Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is intended to distinguish one element from another and does not imply order or importance. Furthermore, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same element.

[0038] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present disclosure provides a cargo warehouse, which may include a warehouse body 1, a partition 2 and a locking structure 3. A storage space 11 for accommodating cargo is formed inside the warehouse body 1, and the partition 2 is arranged in the storage space 11. The partition 2 is rotatably connected to the warehouse body 1 and has a separation state and a storage state. In the separation state, the partition 2 divides the storage space 11 into two sub-spaces 111. In the storage state, the partition 2 is close to the inner wall of the warehouse body 1 so that the two sub-spaces 111 are connected to each other, that is, the two sub-spaces 111 can be merged into the above-mentioned storage space 11. The locking structure 3 includes a movable limit member 31, which is movably connected to the warehouse body 1. In the separation state, at least part of the movable limit member 31 presses against the partition 2 to limit the rotation of the partition 2. When the partition 2 switches from the separation state to the storage state, the movable limit member 31 avoids the partition 2 so that the partition 2 can rotate.

[0039] In the above-mentioned warehouse, when the partition 2 is in the separation state, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the movable stopper 31 abuts against the partition 2 and restricts the rotation of the partition 2. The partition 2 divides the storage space 11 into two sub-spaces 111. The two sub-spaces 111 can be used to store different goods respectively, so as to effectively utilize the space in the warehouse. When the partition 2 switches from the separation state to the storage state, the movable stopper 31 can be manipulated to move so that the movable stopper 31 avoids the partition 2 and releases the rotation restriction on the partition 2. At this time, the partition 2 can rotate to a position close to the inner wall of the warehouse body 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the two sub-spaces 111 are connected to form a receiving space 11, so that the warehouse can store larger goods, thereby improving the versatility of the warehouse and making it suitable for transporting goods of different sizes.

[0040] Compared with the method of disassembling and installing the partition 2 by bolts in the prior art, in the above-mentioned cargo warehouse, the user controls the locking structure 3 to push against or avoid the partition 2, so that the partition 2 can switch between the separation state and the storage state by rotation, thereby realizing the change of the size of the internal accommodating space 11 of the cargo warehouse. The switching method of the partition 2 is simple and convenient, and the partition 2 is always located inside the cargo warehouse, which is convenient for the storage of the partition 2 and is not easy to lose.

[0041] It should be noted that the above-mentioned cargo warehouse can be applied to various implementation scenarios, such as delivery robots, cargo transport vehicles (such as unmanned delivery vehicles), express lockers, or storage lockers, and this disclosure is not limited to this. For example, when applied to the implementation scenario of a delivery robot, the user can adjust the partition 2 to a separating state or a storage state according to the size of the goods, so that the storage space 11 can accommodate one larger item or two smaller items at the same time, thereby rationally allocating the storage space 11 inside the delivery robot and improving delivery efficiency.

[0042] Optionally, the partition 2 can be rotatably connected to the silo 1 about an axis extending in the vertical direction of the silo 1. In this way, in the storage position, the partition 2 can be close to the side wall of the silo 1 extending in the vertical direction. The partition 2 can also be rotatably connected to the silo 1 about an axis extending in the front-to-back direction of the silo 1. In this way, in the storage position, the partition 2 can be close to the bottom wall of the silo 1 extending in the front-to-back direction, or locked to the top wall of the silo 1 via a locking structure. The present disclosure does not limit the extension direction of the rotation axis of the partition 2.

[0043] In addition, the above-mentioned movable limit member 31 can be set to be rotatable or movably connected to the warehouse body 1. For the case where the movable limit member 31 is set to be rotatable, as an embodiment, the movable limit member 31 can be rotatably connected to the warehouse body 1 through the limit member shaft. When the partition 2 is in the separation state, the movable limit member 31 rotates toward the direction close to the partition 2 and presses against the partition 2 to limit the rotation of the partition 2. When the partition 2 switches from the separation state to the storage state, the movable limit member 31 can rotate toward the direction away from the partition 2, thereby avoiding the partition 2 and allowing the partition 2 to rotate.

[0044] Optionally, the movable limiting member 31 can be configured to rotate around an axis extending along the front-to-back direction of the warehouse body 1, or around an axis extending along the top-to-bottom direction of the warehouse body 1, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0045] In the case where the movable stopper 31 is movably connected to the compartment body 1, as an exemplary embodiment, the movable stopper 31 can be configured to be movable in a direction toward or away from the partition 2. When the movable stopper 31 moves toward the partition 2 and abuts against the partition 2, the movable stopper 31 can restrict the rotation of the partition 2 to maintain the partition 2 in the separated state. When the movable stopper 31 moves toward the direction away from the partition 2, the movable stopper 31 avoids the partition 2, allowing the partition 2 to rotate.

[0046] As another exemplary embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the movable limiting member 31 may include a limiting block 311, and a notch 20 is formed on the partition 2 for the limiting block 311 to pass through. In the separated state, the limiting block 311 and the notch 20 are staggered with each other in the moving direction of the movable limiting member 31, and at least part of the limiting block 311 presses against the partition 2 to limit the rotation of the partition 2. When the partition 2 switches from the separated state to the stored state, the limiting block 311 is aligned with the notch 20 of the partition 2. During the rotation of the partition 2, the limiting block 311 can pass through the notch 20 to avoid the partition 2, thereby avoiding limiting the rotation of the partition 2.

[0047] Optionally, for the embodiment in which the movable limiting member 31 is movably connected to the warehouse body 1, the movable limiting member 31 can be configured to move along the front-to-back direction of the warehouse body 1, or can be configured to move along the up-and-down direction of the warehouse body 1, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0048] In order to facilitate the user to operate the movable limit member 31, the cargo warehouse may optionally further include an operating mechanism 4 located outside the warehouse body 1. The movable limit member 31 may further include a main body 312, a limit block 311 formed on the main body 312, a slide groove 12 formed on the warehouse body 1, the main body 312 abutting the outer surface of the warehouse body 1, the limit block 311 slidably passing through the slide groove 12 and located within the warehouse body 1, and the operating mechanism 4 including an operating portion 41 connected to the main body 312 and used to drive the main body 312 to move under the action of an external force. The operating portion 41 may be formed in any shape to facilitate the user to apply a pushing force to the operating mechanism 4. The user can drive the movable limit member 31 to move along the slide groove 12 by pushing the operating portion 41 to change the relative position of the limit block 311 of the movable limit member and the partition 2.

[0049] The aforementioned operating mechanism 4 can also function to change the direction of the external force. In an exemplary embodiment, the operating mechanism 4 can include a first wedge block, with an operating portion 41 formed on the first wedge block. A second wedge block can be formed on the side of the main body 312 of the movable stopper 31 facing away from the stopper 311, with the first wedge block engaging with a wedge surface of the second wedge block. Thus, when a user moves the first wedge block in an operating direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the movable stopper 31, the external force applied by the user to the first wedge block is transmitted to the movable stopper 31 via the wedge surface, enabling the movable stopper 31 to move along the chute 12. For example, if the movable stopper 31 is configured to be movable in the front-to-back direction of the warehouse body 1, the user can use the operating portion 41 to move the first wedge block in the left-right direction. The first wedge block can push the second wedge block to move in the front-to-back direction of the warehouse body 1, thereby driving the main body 312 and the stopper 311 to move in the front-to-back direction of the warehouse body 1, allowing the stopper 311 to align with the notch 20 in the partition 2.

[0050] As another exemplary embodiment, Figure 5 、 Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the operating mechanism 4 can also include a bracket 42 and an inclined rod 43 fixed to the bracket 42, the operating part 41 is formed on the bracket 42, the bracket 42 is movably connected to the warehouse body 1, and the moving direction of the bracket 42 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable limit member 31, and a protrusion 313 is formed on the side of the main body 312 away from the limit block 311, the inclined rod 43 is slidably passed through the protrusion 313, and the inclined rod 43 is constructed to be able to push the protrusion 313 to move during the movement of the bracket 42.

[0051] Because the movement direction of the bracket 42 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the movable stopper 31, when the user manipulates the bracket 42 and the inclined rod 43 via the operating portion 41, the inclined rod 43 can push the protrusion 313 to move, thereby causing the movable stopper 31 to move along the chute 12. For example, when the movable stopper 31 is configured to be movable along the front-to-back direction of the warehouse body 1, the user can move the operating mechanism 4 in the left-right direction, and the inclined rod 43 can push the protrusion 313, causing the movable stopper 31 to move along the front-to-back direction of the warehouse body 1.

[0052] Optionally, the operating mechanism 4 can be set close to the front side of the warehouse body 1 to facilitate user operation, and the user can control the movable limit member 31 to move in the front and rear directions by pushing the operating mechanism 4 in the left and right directions, which can avoid interference between the user's hands and other structures of the warehouse. The operation method is simple and convenient.

[0053] In the above embodiment, in order to prevent the user from pushing the movable stopper 31 from the storage space 11 of the cargo hold, optionally, as Figure 8 As shown, the angle between the extension direction of the inclined rod 43 and the moving direction of the bracket 42 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8 θ (shown in FIG. 1 ) can be smaller than the friction angle of the diagonal rod 43. Thus, even if a user pushes the movable stopper 31 from within the cargo compartment's storage space 11, the component of the force exerted by the movable stopper 31 on the diagonal rod 43 in the direction of movement of the bracket 42 is always smaller than the component of the static friction between the diagonal rod 43 and the protrusion 313 in the direction of movement of the bracket 42. In other words, pushing the movable stopper 31 cannot cause relative movement between the diagonal rod 43 and the protrusion 313, and the operating mechanism 4 has a self-locking capability.

[0054] To ensure that the bracket 42 can move in a specified direction, the operating mechanism 4 can optionally further include a guide rod 44 fixed to the bracket 42. The axis of the guide rod 44 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the movable stopper 31. The housing 1 is formed with a guide block 13, which has a guide hole formed therein. The guide rod 44 is movably inserted into the guide hole. The guide hole guides the movement of the guide rod 44, ensuring that the operating mechanism 4 can move along the axis of the guide rod 44 without shaking or deviation.

[0055] Optionally, the operating mechanism 4 may further include a reset elastic member 45, one end of which is connected to the bracket 42. The reset elastic member 45 can apply elastic force to the bracket 42, so that when the external force applied to the operating mechanism 4 is removed, the reset elastic member 45 can drive the operating mechanism 4 to reset.

[0056] Alternatively, as Figure 1As shown, when the partition 2 is in the separated state, the protrusion 313 can be located at the first end of the inclined rod 43, the reset elastic member 45 can be a tension spring, and the reset elastic member 45 can be connected to a position on the bracket 42 away from the first end of the inclined rod 43 to apply a pulling force to the bracket 42, thereby ensuring that the inclined rod 43 and the protrusion 313 can stably contact the first end, avoiding relative movement of the inclined rod 43 and the protrusion 313 in the event of shaking or collision, which causes the partition 2 to rotate.

[0057] Optionally, the above-mentioned reset elastic member 45 can be a spring, an elastic block, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0058] For different application scenarios, the warehouse body 1 can have a variety of different shapes, such as barrel, sphere, cube, or irregular cube. As an exemplary embodiment, the warehouse body 1 can include a door 14 and a back panel 15 arranged opposite each other in the front-to-back direction, a top panel 16 and a bottom panel 17 arranged opposite each other in the top-to-bottom direction, and two side panels 18 arranged opposite each other in the left-to-right direction. The door 14, back panel 15, top panel 16, bottom panel 17, and two side panels 18 collectively define a storage space 11.

[0059] In the above warehouse body 1, in order to ensure the safety of the warehouse, optionally, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an outer cover is provided above the top plate 16, and the warehouse door 14 includes a first warehouse door 141 and a second warehouse door 142 corresponding to the two sub-spaces 111 respectively. The slide groove 12 is formed on the top plate 16 and extends in the front-to-back direction. The operating mechanism 4 is located between the top plate 16 and the outer cover. The operating part 41 can move in the left and right directions under the action of external force. The upper ends of the first warehouse door 141 and the second warehouse door 142 both extend upward and form flanges 143 protruding from the top plate 16. In the front-to-back direction, the flange 143 can block the operating part 41, or the flange 143 and the outer cover can jointly block the operating part 41 (that is, the flange 143 blocks part of the operating part 41). In the process of the limit block 311 moving from its position staggered with the notch 20 to its position aligned with the notch 20, the operating part 41 moves from above one of the two sub-spaces 111 to above the other sub-space 111.

[0060] Because the operating mechanism 4 is located between the top plate 16 and the outer cover, when both the first door 141 and the second door 142 are closed, the flange 143 can block the operating portion 41, or the flange 143 and the outer cover can jointly block the operating portion 41, preventing the user from pushing the operating portion 41. However, when only one of the first door 141 and the second door 142 is open, the flange 143 of the other closed door still partially blocks the operating portion 41. Although the user can push the operating portion 41, they cannot move the operating portion 41 from above one subspace 111 to above the other subspace 111. In other words, although the stopper 311 can move in the front-to-back direction, it cannot move to a position aligned with the notch 20. The stopper 311 still acts as a stop for the partition 2, preventing the partition 2 from switching from the partitioning state to the storage state. Consequently, the cargo in the unopened door 14 cannot be removed, thereby ensuring the cargo's safety. That is to say, only when the first compartment door 141 and the second compartment door 142 are opened at the same time, the user can push the operating part 41 to move from above one of the two subspaces 111 to above the other subspace 111, so that the limit block 311 moves from its position offset from the notch 20 to a position aligned with the notch 20, and the limit block 311 avoids the partition 2, and the partition 2 can be rotated to the storage position.

[0061] Taking the application scenario of the above-mentioned warehouse applied to the delivery robot as an example, when the partition 2 is in the separated state, different goods can be placed in the subspace 111 corresponding to the first warehouse door 141 and the second warehouse door 142, and the delivery robot can deliver the goods in the first warehouse door 141 and the second warehouse door 142 respectively. Each time a user picks up the goods, the warehouse only opens one warehouse door 14. The user who picks up the goods cannot take out the goods in the unopened warehouse door 14, nor can he contact the goods behind the unopened warehouse door 14 by moving the partition 2, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of the goods.

[0062] To facilitate storage of the partition 2, the bin body 1 may optionally include a bin door 14 and a back panel 15 disposed oppositely in the front-to-back direction, a top panel 16 and a bottom panel 17 disposed oppositely in the up-down direction, and two side panels 18 disposed oppositely in the left-to-right direction. The bin door 14, the back panel 15, the top panel 16, the bottom panel 17, and the two side panels 18 collectively define a storage space 11. The partition 2 may include a first partition 21 and a second partition 22. The first partition 21 is rotatably connected to the second partition 22. The second partition 22 is rotatably connected to the back panel 15 or rotatably connected to the top panel 16 and the bottom panel 17. In the stored state, the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 overlap with each other and rest against the back panel 15. In the separation state, the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 are arranged in sequence in the front-to-back direction, and together divide the accommodating space 11 into two sub-spaces 111. In the storage state, the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 can overlap with each other to reduce the space occupied in the left and right directions, and avoid interference with the side panel 18 of the warehouse body 1 due to the partition 2 being too long, thereby facilitating the storage of the partition 2.

[0063] In order to further ensure that the movable stopper 31 can limit the rotation of the partition 2 in different directions, as an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the locking structure 3 may further include a fixed stopper 32 fixed to the compartment body 1. In the partitioned state, the fixed stopper 32 and the movable stopper 31 clamp the partition 2 to prevent the partition 2 from rotating. When the partition 2 switches from the partitioned state to the stored state, the movable stopper 31 releases the rotation-limiting effect on the partition 2, while the fixed stopper 32 still abuts the partition 2. The partition 2 can only rotate in a direction away from the fixed stopper 32. When the partition 2 rotates in a direction toward the fixed stopper 32, the fixed stopper 32 can always limit the partition 2.

[0064] As another exemplary embodiment, there may be two movable stoppers 31. In the separated state, the two movable stoppers 31 jointly clamp the partition 2. When both movable stoppers 31 avoid the partition 2, the partition 2 can rotate around the rotation axis in a direction close to any movable stopper 31.
