[0002] The existing intelligent delivery vehicle structure design mostly stores goods by installing a large number of lockers on the outside of the vehicle body. Although the delivery volume has greatly increased compared with the previous delivery method, the storage space utilization rate of the delivery vehicle is low due to the limited number of lockers that can be placed on the outside. If lockers are also installed inside, it will be inconvenient for residents to pick up the goods. There is currently no better way to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

The two first lower clamping plates are two symmetrically arranged L-shaped plates, and the two first upper clamping plates and the two first lower clamping plates can cooperate to clamp the storage box.

[0011] In one example, the horizontal end of the L-shaped strip is rotatably connected to the limit plate via a fixed rotating shaft, and the vertical end of the L-shaped strip is provided through a limit column passing through an arc-shaped through groove formed on the limit plate. A telescopic part is also provided on the inner side of the limit plate, one end of the telescopic part is fixed to the limit column, and the other end is connected to a fixed column arranged near the center of the limit plate, so that under the action of the telescopic part, the two L-shaped strips have a clamping state that can carry and clamp the storage box; when the two L-shaped strips are pushed upward by the storage box below, the two L-shaped strips can slide in the arc-shaped through groove with the limit column around the fixed rotating shaft and turn outward relative to each other.

[0019] In one example, a plurality of lockers are provided on both sides of the exterior of the intelligent mobile vehicle, and each locker is opened by entering a password or scanning a QR code.

[0020] In one example, a side door is provided on the side of the intelligent mobile vehicle body, and the access port is provided at the lower portion of the side door.

[0021] In one example, an external storage rack is further provided on the bottom side of the intelligent mobile vehicle body.

[0022] The present invention adopts the above structure and has the advantages that:

[0023] 1. The intelligent delivery vehicle of this application significantly increases storage space by installing a tower-shaped rotating storage mechanism within the vehicle. A skipping mechanism designed to work with the tower-shaped rotating storage mechanism enables the transfer of storage boxes between floors. A storage and access mechanism designed to work with the tower-shaped rotating storage mechanism and the access opening enables the transfer of storage boxes between the tower-shaped rotating storage mechanism and the access opening. This structural arrangement effectively improves the space utilization of the delivery vehicle, allowing more user items to be transported at once within a given space.

[0024] 2. In the tower-type rotating storage mechanism, the first clamp connected to the telescopic rod can clamp the storage box by designing a purely mechanical structure.

[0049] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the multifunctional intelligent delivery vehicle includes an intelligent mobile body 1, wherein the intelligent mobile body 1 is provided with a storage space, wherein the storage space is provided with a tower-type rotating storage mechanism 2, and a storage and access mechanism 3 and a skipping mechanism 4 arranged in coordination therewith, and the intelligent mobile body 1 is provided with an access port 11 cooperating with the storage and access mechanism 3;

[0050] The tower-type rotating storage mechanism 2 includes at least three layers 21 spaced apart from each other from bottom to top, a rotating drum 22 is provided between two adjacent layers 21, a plurality of automatic telescopic rods 23 that are evenly fixed along the circumferential direction of the rotating drum 22, and a first clamping claw 24 for clamping a storage box is connected to the end of each automatic telescopic rod 23, and a first driving member 25 capable of driving the rotating drum 22 to rotate and a second driving member for driving the automatic telescopic rod 23 to retract;

[0051] The access mechanism 3 includes a slide rail component 31 provided between the tower rotating storage mechanism 2 and the access opening 11, the slide rail component 31 is provided with a slide seat 32, and the slide seat 32 is provided with an access component 33, and the access component 33 can cooperate with the first clamping claw 24 at the bottom layer of the tower rotating storage mechanism 2 to realize access to the storage box;

[0052] The skipping mechanism 4 includes a lifting rod 41 arranged on one side of the tower rotating storage mechanism 2, and a lifting seat 42 is provided on the lifting rod 41, and a second clamping claw 43 is provided on the lifting seat 42. The second clamping claw 43 can cooperate with the first clamping claw 24 to realize the transfer of the storage box 5. The skipping mechanism 4 can transfer the storage box 5 at each layer of the tower rotating storage mechanism 2.

[0053] Among them, it should be noted that when the delivery vehicle is actually used, a control center and a human-computer interaction screen will be set up on the vehicle. By inputting relevant information into the human-computer interaction screen and transmitting it to the control center, it controls whether the goods need to be picked up and which storage box to obtain. That is, residents can send instructions to the control center by inputting the order number of the online order or other setting information. The control center controls the various structures (the first drive member, slide, lifting seat, etc. involving the structures that need to be controlled) according to the instructions to cooperate in taking out the corresponding storage box.

[0054] Working principle:

[0055] When picking up goods, if the storage box 5 to be picked up is located at the bottom layer of the tower rotating storage mechanism 2, after receiving the picking instruction, the first driving member 25 will be controlled to drive the rotating drum 22 to rotate, so that the storage box 5 to be picked up will rotate to the waiting position. At the same time, the storage and retrieval mechanism 3 will also work, so that the storage and retrieval component 33 will move to the vicinity of the waiting position. After that, the storage and retrieval component 33, the automatic telescopic rod 23 and other structures will cooperate to realize the transfer of the storage box 5. After the storage box 5 is transferred to the storage and retrieval component 33, the slide 32 will be controlled to send the storage box 5 along the slide rail component 31 to the storage and retrieval port 11, and the person picking up the goods can take away the storage box 5 or the goods.

[0056] When picking up goods, if the storage box 5 to be picked up is located on the second layer or above of the tower rotating storage mechanism 2, it is necessary to control the lifting seat 42 to move to the height corresponding to the picking up layer, and then control the second clamping jaw 43 and the first clamping jaw 24 to cooperate to realize the transfer of the storage box 5. Then the lifting seat 42 moves the storage box 5 to the lowest layer of the tower rotating storage mechanism 2, that is, the first layer, and finally completes the transfer and transportation of the storage box 5 according to the picking up method of the lowest layer.

[0057] When storing goods, just follow the reverse operation of the picking process. It should be noted that the bottom layer of the tower rotating storage mechanism 2 will not be full of storage boxes, and an empty space needs to be left for picking up goods from the upper layer first.

[0058] In the above-mentioned intelligent delivery vehicle, the structure of the automatic telescopic rod 23 can specifically adopt a pneumatic telescopic method, that is, a telescopic cylinder structure. A micro compressor is set on the inside of the rotating drum to drive the automatic telescopic rod to work. An electric telescopic cylinder can also be used.

[0059] Regarding the structure of the first driving member 25, a servo motor fixed to the layer plate 21 can be specifically adopted, and its output end is connected to the rotating drum 22. Specifically, a fixed disk can be connected to the output end, and the peripheral side of the fixed disk is connected to the rotating drum, so as to realize the rotation of the rotating drum 22 driven by the servo motor. Specifically, the top and bottom of the rotating drum 22 are rotatably connected with the upper and lower layer plates 21 to increase its overall rotation stability.

[0060] Regarding the structure of the first clamping jaw, the following two types can be adopted but are not limited to: the first type can adopt the existing automatic clamping jaw structure; the second structure can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the specific first clamping jaw 24 includes a limit plate 241 fixedly connected to the end of the automatic telescopic rod 23, and the two upper corners of the outer side of the limit plate 241 are respectively connected to a first upper clamping plate 242, and the two lower corners of the outer side of the limit plate 241 are respectively connected to a first lower clamping plate 243. The two first lower clamping plates 243 are two symmetrically arranged L-shaped plates. The two first upper clamping plates 242 and the two first lower clamping plates 243 can cooperate to clamp the storage box 5. At this time, the second clamping jaw can adopt an existing automatic clamping jaw structure to cooperate with it. The second structure only involves mechanical structure, not circuit layout, and has a relatively low cost. When using the second structure to store and access the storage box 5, the storage box 5 can be placed from above the first clamping jaw 24, that is, the storage box 5 is first moved to the top of the layer 21 to be transferred by the lifting seat 42, and then the automatic telescopic rod 23 is extended, and then the lifting seat 42 is moved down to allow the storage box 5 to fall into the first clamping jaw 24.

[0061] Further, such as Figure 6-7As shown, when transferring the storage box 5 from the lower layer to the upper layer of the tower-type rotating storage mechanism 2, it would be troublesome if the storage box 5 is placed above the first clamping claw 24 in the upper layer each time. Therefore, the following arrangement can be made based on the second structure: the horizontal plate of the specific L-shaped strip is rotatably connected to the limit plate 241 through the fixed rotation shaft 246, and the vertical plate is arranged in conjunction with the arc-shaped through groove 2411 opened through the limit plate 241 through the limit column 244. A telescopic member 245, such as a tension spring or pneumatic telescopic rod, is further provided. One end of the telescopic member is connected to a fixed post located near the center of the limiting plate 241, and the other end is connected to a limiting post 244. This allows the two L-shaped slats to be clamped together to support and hold the storage box 5. When the two L-shaped slats are pushed upward by the storage box 5 below, the two L-shaped slats can slide along the limiting post 244 within the arcuate slot 2411, using the fixed rotating shaft 246 as an axis, and thus turn outward relative to each other. Specifically, as the lifting base 42 rises, the top sides of the storage box 5 respectively contact the bottoms of the two L-shaped slats. Subsequently, as the storage box 5 moves upward, the two L-shaped slats turn outward relative to each other, allowing the storage box 5 to continue to move upward. Once clear of the L-shaped slats, the L-shaped slats are reset under the action of the automatic telescopic member 245, and the storage box 5 is lowered into the first clamping jaw 24, completing the storage box transfer.

[0062] If the automatic telescopic member 245 uses a tension spring, then when transferring the storage box from the upper layer to the lower layer, the first clamping claw 24 needs to be retracted before the storage box can be transferred downward. Otherwise, it will be blocked by the L-shaped strip of the first clamping claw 24 and cannot move downward. Therefore, in order to smoothly complete the downward movement of the storage box, a certain space needs to be reserved between the skipping mechanism 4 and the retracted first clamping claw 24 for the retraction of the first clamping claw 24 after it is extended. If the telescopic member uses a pneumatic telescopic cylinder, then when transferring the storage box from the upper layer to the lower layer, the pneumatic telescopic cylinder can be controlled to extend to cause the two L-shaped strips to turn outward. After turning outward, the storage box can be directly moved downward by the lifting seat 42 without retracting the first clamping claw 24. As long as the layer position corresponding to the first clamping claw 24 in this position is provided with a notch for upward and downward movement, the latter can relatively save the length of the storage box, making the delivery vehicle structure more compact and having higher space utilization rate. The former is relatively a purely mechanical structure, does not involve wiring layout, has a simpler structure, and is less expensive.

[0063] Furthermore, to increase the stability of the storage box 5 within the first clamping jaw 24, the following configuration can be used to further achieve the clamping of the storage box 5 by the first clamping jaw 24. Specifically, the side of the outer end of the first lower clamping plate 243 facing the storage box 5, the top of the first lower clamping plate 243 (i.e., the top of its vertical plate facing the storage box 5), and the side of the top of the first upper clamping plate 242 facing the storage box 5 are all designed as sloped entrances (not fully shown in the figure). Preferably, the width of the vertical plate of the first lower clamping plate 243 is greater than the width of the horizontal plate of the first lower clamping plate 243. Under the above structure, when the storage box 5 is pushed in from under the first clamping jaw 24, as the bottom of the storage box 5 just leaves the horizontal plate of the first lower clamping plate 243, the first lower clamping plate 243 will immediately return to its original position under the action of the tension spring 245, and the vertical plate after returning to its original position will be located on one side of the storage box 5. In other words, once the height of the storage box 5 is determined, the two first lower clamping plates 243 can accurately clamp the storage box 5. After that, the control of the second clamping jaw 43 on the storage box 5 can be released, and the storage box 5 can be dropped into the first clamping jaw 24. When the storage box 5 is transferred from the upper level to the lower level, the sloped entrance can facilitate the smooth downward placement of the storage box into the first clamping jaw 24 and provide a good clamping force for the storage box 5, thereby improving the stability of the storage box 5 in the first clamping jaw 24. When the storage box 5 is clamped in from the outside to the inside at the same height as the first clamping jaw 24, the first clamping jaw 24 can be smoothly clamped in from the outside to the inside, and a good clamping force can be exerted on the storage box 5, thereby improving the stability of the storage box 5 in the first clamping jaw 24.

[0064] Regarding the structure of the second clamping jaw 43, the following two types can be used, but are not limited to: the first type can adopt the existing automatic clamping jaw structure; the second type can adopt the structure of the second clamping jaw 43. Figure 8 As shown, the second clamping claw 43 includes two second upper clamping plates 431 and two second lower clamping plates 432, and the second upper clamping plates 431 can be used to limit the top of the storage box 5, and the second lower clamping plates 432 can be used to limit the bottom of the storage box 5; two rotating shafts are parallel to each other in the lifting seat 42, and the lower parts of the two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the two second lower clamping plates 432, and the upper parts of the two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the two second upper clamping plates 431. A third driving member is provided in the lifting seat 42 to drive the two second upper clamping plates 431 and the two second lower clamping plates 432 by driving the rotating shaft, so that they have a first state that can limit the storage box 5 and a second state that releases the limit of the storage box 5, wherein the third driving member includes a servo motor, and a first gear is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, and second gears are respectively engaged on both sides of the first gear, and the second gear is fixed on the rotating shaft.

[0065] Regarding the structure of the access mechanism 3, Figure 9As shown, the storage and retrieval component 33 can adopt an automatic lifting platform arranged on the slide 32, and the top of the automatic lifting platform is provided with a first limiting portion 341, and the bottom of the storage box 5 is provided with a second limiting portion that can cooperate with the first limiting portion 341. Among the first limiting portion 341 and the second limiting portion, one is a non-circular limiting protrusion and the other is a non-circular limiting recess. The table width of the automatic lifting platform is smaller than the width of the storage box. When taking goods from the tower-type rotating storage mechanism 2, the corresponding automatic telescopic rod 23 is extended, and the automatic lifting platform needs to be moved to the position just below the first clamping claw 24 where the goods need to be taken. Then the automatic lifting platform rises and lifts up the storage box 5 and pushes it out of the first clamping claw 24. Then the storage box 5 moves to the access port 11 with the cooperation of the access component 33, the first driving component 25 and the slide rail component 31. At this time, the storage box 5 can be taken away. If the storage box 5 does not need to be reused, it can be taken away directly. If the storage box 5 needs to be reused, it can be taken from the storage box 5 and then put back on the automatic lifting platform, and the first limit portion 341 and the first limit portion 342 are aligned. The two limiting parts are placed correspondingly, and then the access component 33, the first driving component 25 and the slide rail component 31 cooperate to move the storage box 5 to the vicinity of the tower rotating storage mechanism 2. At this time, it can correspond to the height of the first claw 24. As the storage box 5 moves toward the first claw 24, the storage box 5 is clamped into the first claw 24. Then the automatic lifting platform descends away from the storage box 5, and then the first claw 24 retracts to the tower rotating storage mechanism 2. If the storage box 5 needs to be transferred to the upper layer, the tower rotating storage mechanism 2 and the skipping mechanism 4 can be used for the transfer. It should be noted that the process of initially storing the storage box 5 is the same. The lifting structure of the automatic lifting platform is the same as that currently available on the market, and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Among them, for the storage box, you can choose a disposable storage box or a reusable storage box. If you choose to reuse the storage box 5, you can choose to make the storage box with an acrylic transparent plate to facilitate ultraviolet disinfection.

[0067] Furthermore, if needed, a pressure sensor connected to the control center could be installed on the automatic lifting platform to sense whether a storage box is on it and whether it is full or empty, thereby facilitating the control center's control of the storage and retrieval process. Of course, it is possible to control the next action of the automatic lifting platform by setting a time range, but this is not as quick and convenient as installing a pressure sensor.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, if the tower-type rotating storage mechanism is arranged opposite to the access port 11, the slide 32 moves linearly with the access component 33 to achieve cooperation with the tower-type rotating storage mechanism 2 and the access port 11 to perform storage and access operations in the storage box 5.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, if the tower-type rotating storage mechanism is arranged on one side of the slide rail component 31 and does not correspond to the access port 11, its structure can be arranged as follows: Specifically, the slide rail component 31 includes a first slide rail 311 arranged toward the access port 11, and the tower-type rotating storage mechanism 2 is arranged on one side of the first slide rail 311. The first slide rail 311 slides in the vertical direction and is provided with a second slide rail 312. The second slide rail 312 is provided with a slide seat 32.
