Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of unmanned delivery technology, and in particular to a drone delivery and receiving device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, food delivery has become a trend. The food delivery market is already quite large and is still in a stage of rapid growth. As the number of orders continues to increase, the number of people in the food delivery industry is approaching saturation. Unmanned delivery has become a new direction for development. In unmanned delivery, automated storage and retrieval devices for lockers are an important technology. Drone delivery and pickup devices can realize functions such as drone take-off and landing, automatic food collection and pickup. However, the current drone delivery and pickup devices have a complex structure, resulting in a cumbersome delivery process and high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a drone delivery and pickup device to solve the problem of complex structure of drone delivery and pickup devices.

[0004] This application provides a drone delivery and pickup device, the drone delivery and pickup device comprising:

[0005] Top cover;

[0006] A transmission mechanism having a conveyor plate for placing storage boxes;

[0007] The cabinet includes a storage platform for storing the storage box.

[0008] The top cover has a through hole and a cushioning device, the cushioning device being movable relative to the through hole, and at least a portion of the cushioning device being able to pass through the through hole, and the transmission mechanism being able to transport the storage box to the storage platform.

[0009] A drone delivery and pickup device is used for the temporary storage of storage boxes, including the automatic storage of storage boxes delivered by drones and the automatic distribution of storage boxes. The drone delivery and pickup device provided in this application includes a top cover, a transmission mechanism, and a cabinet. The top cover is located on the top of the device and provides a parking position for the drone. The top cover can be equipped with a QR code display device to facilitate drone identification and positioning of the storage box top cover. The top cover also includes a through hole and a buffer device. The through hole communicates with the interior of the cabinet, allowing the drone to deliver the storage box to the device for temporary storage. At least a portion of the buffer device can pass through the through hole, guiding and cushioning the falling storage box. The storage box passes through the through hole via the buffer device and falls onto the conveyor plate of the transmission mechanism. The buffer mechanism improves the stability of the storage box during delivery, reducing the possibility of tilting and damage. The buffer device can move relative to the through hole. After the drone completes the delivery of the storage box, the buffer device can retract into the cabinet. The transmission mechanism can then transport the storage box on the conveyor plate to a pre-set storage platform. Compared to existing technologies that receive storage boxes via a transfer mechanism and then transport them via a transmission mechanism, the transmission mechanism and buffer device provided in this application work together to directly receive and transfer the storage boxes via the transmission mechanism. This results in a simpler overall structure and a more streamlined process, saving manufacturing and maintenance costs. The cabinet can be designed as an octagonal structure, meaning it has eight sides, each with six storage platforms. This allows for more storage locations within a given cabinet height, increasing storage capacity. Each storage platform can have an access port for removing storage boxes from the outside. This access port can be equipped with an isolation device, including an internal privacy door and an external isolation door. The privacy door isolates the cabinet interior from the outside, preventing communication between the inside and outside of the equipment. The isolation door controls the opening and closing of the access port.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the buffer device includes a guide rod and a buffer plate. The guide rod is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole, and the buffer plate is connected to the guide rod through a connector. The buffer plate is movable along the height direction of the cabinet.

[0011] The guide rod is used to connect the buffer plate and the top cover. The guide rod is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole and guides the movement of the buffer plate, keeping the buffer plate stable when moving along the guide rod. The buffer plate can slide along the guide rod to a position that protrudes relative to the top cover to guide the storage box. When the storage box falls, it can move along the buffer plate, reducing the possibility of the storage box deviating and improving the accuracy of the storage box placement. The buffer plate can also move into the cabinet body to facilitate closing the top cover and sealing the cabinet.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the buffer plate is arranged circumferentially along the through hole, and the annular area enclosed by the buffer plate gradually decreases from top to bottom along the height direction of the cabinet.

[0013] The buffer plate, circumferentially arranged around the through hole, forms a guide channel. When the drone delivers the storage box, the box can slide down the buffer plate into the cabinet, achieving a guiding effect. The buffer plate's circumferential arrangement can limit the storage box from multiple directions, reducing the possibility of the storage box deviating. The cross-sectional area of ​​the guide channel gradually increases in the direction away from the inside of the cabinet. Specifically, when the storage box enters the buffer plate, the size of the guide channel opening is larger than the size of the exit, which facilitates the accurate landing of the storage box on the buffer plate and can correct the position of the storage box.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a pulley is provided on the inner side of the buffer plate, and the pulley is rotatable relative to the buffer plate to guide the falling of the storage box.

[0015] The inner side of the buffer plate is equipped with a guide, which can rotate relative to the buffer plate to improve the guiding effect of the buffer plate. The guide can be a pulley or a slide rail. The pulley can rotate relative to the buffer plate. When the storage box enters the inner side of the buffer plate and contacts the guide, the guide can roll or slide, thereby facilitating the falling of the storage box.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the drone delivery and receiving device further includes a baffle mechanism. The baffle mechanism has a guide plate and a baffle. The guide plate has a first guide groove and a second guide groove. The first guide groove and the second guide groove are connected to each other and are perpendicular to each other. The baffle is movable relative to the first guide groove and the second guide groove. When the baffle moves along the first guide groove to the second guide groove, the baffle closes the through hole. When the baffle moves away from the second guide groove to the first guide groove, the baffle opens the through hole.

[0017] The baffle mechanism is used to control the opening or closing of the through hole. The baffle can slide along the guide plate, which is provided with a first guide groove and a second guide groove. The first guide groove and the second guide groove are perpendicular to each other. The second guide groove is located at the end of the first guide groove and the two are connected to each other. When the baffle moves along the first guide groove, the baffle can block or open the through hole. When the baffle moves along the first guide groove to close the through hole, the baffle can continue to slide into the second guide groove and move along the second guide groove to a position at the same height as the top cover, so that the baffle and the top cover are flush, thereby maintaining the flatness and sealing of the top cover when the through hole is closed.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the transmission mechanism includes a telescopic mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a rotating mechanism, wherein the lifting mechanism is connected to the rotating mechanism, the telescopic mechanism is connected to the lifting mechanism, and the conveyor plate is connected to the telescopic mechanism.

[0019] The conveyor plate is installed on the telescopic mechanism, which can extend or retract. The lifting mechanism can drive the telescopic mechanism to rise or fall, and the rotating mechanism can drive the lifting mechanism to rotate, thereby enabling the conveyor plate to move in all directions inside the cabinet, allowing the storage box to be transported to any position inside the cabinet.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the conveyor plate is provided with push plates, which are disposed on both sides of the conveyor plate along the width direction of the conveyor plate and are rotatable relative to the conveyor plate.

[0021] Push plates are located on both sides of the conveyor plate and can be rotated to limit the storage box from both sides. When the push plates rotate to a position perpendicular to the conveyor plate, they can push the buffer plate to move in conjunction with the lifting mechanism, causing the buffer plate to protrude relative to the top cover, so that the buffer plate can transmit the impact of the falling storage box.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the conveyor plate is further provided with a limiting plate disposed between the push plates, and the limiting plate is rotatable relative to the conveyor plate to limit the storage box.

[0023] The limiting plate is set between two push plates. The limiting plate can be set in a direction perpendicular to the push plates. The limiting plate can rotate relative to the conveyor plate. The limiting plate and the push plates cooperate with each other to limit the storage box from two mutually perpendicular directions, so that the storage box can reach the preset position on the conveyor plate.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the top cover is provided with two push rods, each push rod including at least a first connecting segment and a second connecting segment, the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment being connected to each other, and the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment being inclined in a direction away from the through hole, the push rod being movable relative to the top cover.

[0025] The push rod is used to propel the drone to a preset position so that the storage box delivered by the drone can accurately fall into the cabinet through the through hole. The push rod is set on both sides of the top cover and can push the drone from two opposite directions. The push rod includes a first connecting section and a second connecting section, and there is an included angle between the first connecting section and the second connecting section. When the push rod pushes the drone, the two push rods cooperate with each other and can limit the drone from two directions simultaneously. The push rod can also be provided with a third connecting section, which connects the first connecting section and the second connecting section. The third connecting section can be set perpendicular to the moving direction of the push rod to improve the stability of the push rod when pushing the drone. Compared with the prior art, which sets two sets of vertical linear push rods to limit the drone from two directions respectively, the push rod structure provided in this application is simpler and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the width of the conveyor plate is smaller than the width of the storage box, and the storage platform includes two partitions with a gap between them, the gap being smaller than the width of the storage box and larger than the width of the conveyor plate.

[0027] When the storage box is placed on the conveyor plate, the conveyor plate does not completely cover the bottom of the storage box. There are uncovered areas on both sides of the storage box. When the conveying mechanism transports the storage box, the conveyor plate can pass through the gap between the two partitions of the storage platform at the preset position. The two partitions contact the area of ​​the storage box bottom that is not covered by the conveyor plate, supporting the storage box and completing the transfer of the storage box from the conveyor plate to the storage platform. This makes the transfer of the storage box convenient and fast. Compared with the existing technology that uses a bidirectional conveying structure and a fork mechanism to push the storage box to complete the transfer, the conveying mechanism provided in this application completes the transfer of the storage box through the cooperation of the conveyor plate and the storage platform. The overall structure is simpler and the production cost is reduced.

[0028] This application provides a drone delivery and pickup device, which includes a top cover, a transmission mechanism, and a cabinet. The transmission mechanism is equipped with a conveyor plate, and the cabinet has a storage platform inside. The top cover has a through hole and a buffer device, wherein the buffer device can move relative to the top cover, and at least a part of the buffer device can pass through the through hole. The drone can deliver the storage box through the through hole. The buffer device can cushion and guide the storage box, so that the storage box lands stably and accurately on the conveyor plate. Through the cooperation of the buffer device and the transmission mechanism, the storage box falls directly onto the transmission mechanism for transmission, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the drone delivery and pickup device.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this application embodiment provides a drone delivery and receiving device for items. The drone delivery and receiving device includes a top cover 1, a transmission mechanism 2, and a cabinet 3. The transmission mechanism 2 has a conveyor plate 21 for placing storage boxes. The cabinet 3 includes a storage platform 31 for storing storage boxes. The top cover 1 has a through hole 11 and a buffer device 12. The buffer device 12 is movable relative to the through hole 11, and at least a portion of the buffer device 12 can pass through the through hole 11. The transmission mechanism 2 can transport the storage boxes to the storage platform 31.

[0066] The drone delivery and pickup device is used to temporarily store lockers, including automatically storing lockers delivered by drones and automatically distributing lockers. The drone delivery and receiving device provided in this application includes a top cover 1, a transmission mechanism 2, and a cabinet 3. The top cover 1 is located on the top of the drone delivery and receiving device and is used to provide a parking position for the drone. The top cover 1 can be equipped with a QR code display device to facilitate the drone's identification and positioning of the storage box top cover 1. The top cover 1 also includes a through hole 11 and a buffer device 12. The through hole 11 is connected to the interior of the cabinet 3 and is used by the drone to deliver the storage box to the drone delivery and receiving device for temporary storage. At least a part of the buffer device 12 can pass through the through hole 11 and can guide and buffer the falling storage box. The storage box passes through the through hole 11 through the buffer device 12 and falls into the conveyor plate 21 of the transmission mechanism 2. The buffer mechanism can improve the stability of the storage box during delivery and reduce the possibility of tilting and damage to the storage box. The buffer device 12 can move relative to the through hole 11. After the drone completes the delivery of the storage box, the buffer device 12 can retract into the cabinet 3. The transmission mechanism 2 can transport the storage box on the conveyor plate 21 to the preset storage platform 31. Compared to existing technologies that receive storage boxes via a transfer mechanism and then transport them via a transmission mechanism 2, the transmission mechanism 2 and buffer device 12 provided in this application work together to directly receive and transfer the storage boxes via the transmission mechanism 2. This results in a simpler overall structure and a more streamlined process, saving manufacturing and maintenance costs. The cabinet 3 can be designed as an octagonal cabinet, meaning it has eight sides, each with six storage platforms 31. This allows for more storage locations within a given cabinet height, increasing storage capacity. The storage platforms 31 can have access ports for removing storage boxes from the outside of the cabinet 3. These access ports can be equipped with isolation devices, including an internal privacy door and an external isolation door. The privacy door isolates the inside of the cabinet 3 from the outside, preventing communication between the inside and outside of the equipment. The isolation door controls the opening and closing of the access ports.

[0067] like Figure 3As shown, in one possible implementation, the buffer device 12 includes a guide rod 121 and a buffer plate 122. The guide rod 121 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole 11. The buffer plate 122 is connected to the guide rod 121 through a connector, and the buffer plate 122 can move along the height direction of the cabinet 3.

[0068] The guide rod 121 is used to connect the buffer plate 122 and the top cover 1. The guide rod 121 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole 11 and guides the movement of the buffer plate 122, so that the buffer plate 122 remains stable when moving along the guide rod 121. The buffer plate 122 can slide along the guide rod 121 to a position that protrudes relative to the top cover 1 to guide the storage box. When the storage box falls, it can move along the buffer plate 122, reducing the possibility of the storage box deviating and improving the accuracy of the storage box placement. The buffer plate 122 can also move into the cabinet 3 to facilitate closing the top cover 1 and sealing the cabinet 3.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the buffer plate 122 is arranged circumferentially along the through hole 11, and the annular area enclosed by the buffer plate 122 gradually decreases from top to bottom along the height direction away from the cabinet 3.

[0070] The buffer plate 122 is arranged circumferentially around the through hole 11 to form a guide channel. When the drone delivers the storage box, the storage box can slide down along the buffer plate 122 into the cabinet 3, achieving a guiding effect for the storage box. The buffer plate 122 is arranged around the storage box to limit the storage box from multiple directions, reducing the possibility of the storage box deviating. The cross-sectional area of ​​the guide channel gradually increases in the direction away from the interior of the cabinet 3. Specifically, when the storage box enters the buffer plate 122, the size of the guide channel opening is larger than the size of the outlet, which makes it easy for the storage box to fall accurately into the buffer plate 122 and can correct the position of the storage box.

[0071] In one possible implementation, a pulley is provided on the inner side of the buffer plate 122. The pulley is rotatable relative to the buffer plate 122 and is used to guide the falling of the storage box.

[0072] A guide is provided on the inner side of the buffer plate 122. The guide can rotate relative to the buffer plate 122 to improve the guiding effect of the buffer plate 122. The guide can be a pulley or a slide rail. The pulley can rotate relative to the buffer plate 122. When the storage box enters the inner side of the buffer plate 122 and contacts the guide, the guide can roll or slide, thereby facilitating the falling of the storage box.

[0073] like Figure 4As shown, in one possible implementation, the drone delivery and receiving device includes a baffle mechanism 4. The baffle mechanism 4 has a guide plate 41 and a baffle 42. The guide plate 41 has a first guide groove 411 and a second guide groove 412. The first guide groove 411 and the second guide groove 412 are connected to each other and are perpendicular to each other. The baffle 42 can move relative to the first guide groove 411 and the second guide groove 412. When the baffle 42 moves along the first guide groove 411 to the second guide groove 412, the baffle 42 closes the through hole 11. When the baffle 42 moves away from the second guide groove 412 to the first guide groove 411, the baffle 42 opens the through hole 11.

[0074] The baffle mechanism 4 is used to control the opening or closing of the through hole 11. The baffle 42 can slide along the guide plate 41. The guide plate 41 is provided with a first guide groove 411 and a second guide groove 412. The first guide groove 411 and the second guide groove 412 are perpendicular to each other. The second guide groove 412 is located at the end of the first guide groove 411 and the two are connected to each other. When the baffle 42 moves along the first guide groove 411, the baffle 42 can block or open the through hole 11. When the baffle 42 moves along the first guide groove 411 to close the through hole 11, the baffle 42 can continue to slide into the second guide groove 412 and move along the second guide groove 412 to a position at the same height as the top cover 1, so that the baffle 42 and the top cover 1 are flush, thereby maintaining the flatness and sealing of the top cover 1 when the through hole 11 is closed.

[0075] like Figure 5 As shown, in one possible implementation, the transmission mechanism 2 includes a telescopic mechanism 22, a lifting mechanism 23, and a rotating mechanism 24. The lifting mechanism 23 is connected to the rotating mechanism 24, the telescopic mechanism 22 is connected to the lifting mechanism 23, and the conveyor plate 21 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 22.

[0076] The conveyor plate 21 is installed on the telescopic mechanism 22, which can extend or retract. The lifting mechanism 23 can drive the telescopic mechanism 22 to rise or fall, and the rotating mechanism 24 can drive the lifting mechanism 23 to rotate, thereby enabling the conveyor plate 21 to move in all directions inside the cabinet 3, so that the storage box can be transported to any position inside the cabinet 3.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, in one possible implementation, the conveyor plate 21 is provided with two push plates 25. The push plates 25 are arranged on both sides of the conveyor plate 21 in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the telescopic mechanism 22 and can rotate relative to the conveyor plate 21. When the push plates 25 are perpendicular to the conveyor plate 21, the conveyor plate 21 is used to push the buffer plate 122 to move along the guide rod 121.

[0078] Push plates 25 are located on both sides of the conveyor plate 21 and can limit the storage box from both sides by rotating. When the push plates 25 rotate to a position perpendicular to the conveyor plate 21, they can push the buffer plate 122 to move in conjunction with the lifting mechanism 23, so that the buffer plate 122 protrudes relative to the top cover 1, so that the buffer plate 122 can play a shock-transfer role for the falling storage box.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in one possible implementation, the conveyor plate 21 includes a limiting plate 26 disposed between the push plates 25, and the limiting plate 26 is rotatable relative to the conveyor plate 21.

[0080] The limiting plate 26 is disposed between the two push plates 25. The limiting plate 26 can be disposed in a direction perpendicular to the push plates 25. The limiting plate 26 can rotate relative to the conveyor plate 21. The limiting plate 26 and the push plates 25 cooperate with each other to limit the storage box from two mutually perpendicular directions, so that the storage box can reach the preset position on the conveyor plate 21.

[0081] like Figure 1 As shown, in one possible implementation, the top cover 1 is provided with a push rod 13, which includes at least a first connecting section 131 and a second connecting section 132. The first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are connected to each other, and the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are inclined in a direction away from the through hole 11. The push rod 13 is movable relative to the top cover 1, and the top cover 1 is provided with two push rods 13.

[0082] Push rod 13 is used to push the drone to a preset position so that the storage box delivered by the drone can accurately fall into the cabinet 3 through the through hole 11. Push rod 13 is set on both sides of the top cover 1 and can push the drone from two opposite directions. Push rod 13 includes a first connecting section 131 and a second connecting section 132, and there is an included angle between the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132. When push rod 13 pushes the drone, the two push rods 13 cooperate with each other and can limit the drone from two directions at the same time. Push rod 13 can also be provided with a third connecting section, which connects the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132. The third connecting section can be set perpendicular to the moving direction of push rod 13 to improve the stability of push rod 13 when pushing drone. Compared with the prior art of setting two sets of vertical straight push rods 13 to limit the drone from two directions respectively, the push rod 13 structure provided in this application is simpler and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0083] like Figure 2As shown, in one possible implementation, the width of the conveyor plate 21 is smaller than the width of the storage box, and the storage platform 31 includes two partitions 311 with a gap between them. The gap is smaller than the width of the storage box and larger than the width of the conveyor plate 21.

[0084] When the storage box is placed on the conveyor plate 21, the conveyor plate 21 does not completely cover the bottom of the storage box. There are uncovered areas on both sides of the storage box. When the transmission mechanism 2 transports the storage box, the conveyor plate 21 can pass through the gap between the two partitions 311 of the storage platform 31 at the preset position. The two partitions 311 contact the area of ​​the bottom of the storage box that is not covered by the conveyor plate 21, respectively, to support the storage box and complete the transfer of the storage box from the conveyor plate 21 to the storage platform 31. This makes the transfer of the storage box convenient and fast. Compared with the prior art, which uses a bidirectional conveying structure and a fork mechanism to push the storage box to complete the transfer, the transmission mechanism 2 provided in this application completes the transfer of the storage box through the cooperation of the conveyor plate 21 and the storage platform 31. The overall structure is simpler and the production cost is reduced.

[0085] This application provides a drone delivery and pickup device, which includes a top cover 1, a transmission mechanism 2, and a cabinet 3. The transmission mechanism 2 is provided with a conveyor plate 21, and the cabinet 3 is provided with a storage platform 31. The top cover 1 is provided with a through hole 11 and a buffer device 12, wherein the buffer device 12 can move relative to the top cover 1, and at least a part of the buffer device 12 can pass through the through hole 11. The drone can deliver the storage box through the through hole 11. The buffer device 12 can buffer and guide the storage box, so that the storage box falls stably and accurately onto the conveyor plate 21. Through the cooperation of the buffer device 12 and the transmission mechanism 2, the overall structure of the drone delivery and pickup device is simplified.

[0086] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
