Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of logistics and distribution technology, specifically to an automated guided unmanned logistics transport vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of e-commerce, the demand for last-mile delivery is constantly increasing, and relying on couriers for delivery will become increasingly difficult to meet the demand in terms of delivery volume and timeliness.
[0003] Solving last-mile logistics problems through autonomous driving and intelligent logistics technologies is of great significance. Automated guided unmanned logistics vehicles are a type of logistics delivery vehicle that utilizes driverless technology. By employing advanced sensors, artificial intelligence algorithms, and communication technologies, they can autonomously navigate, plan routes, and deliver packages in cities.
[0004] Existing automated guided vehicles (AGVs) typically have multiple storage compartments on their sides for parcels, each with an independent door. When a user enters the correct command (e.g., scanning a barcode or entering the correct pickup code), the corresponding door automatically opens, allowing the user to retrieve their parcel. To accommodate parcels of different sizes, the compartments are usually categorized as large, medium, and small, and the dimensions of these compartments remain fixed.
[0005] However, the above-mentioned method of setting up different sizes of cabinets has the following drawbacks: In actual delivery, the size and model of the express packages that need to be delivered in the same area are not fixed. When there are many large express packages, the number of large or medium-sized cabinets set up on the delivery vehicle is usually insufficient. When there are few large express packages, large and medium-sized cabinets are usually used to place small express packages, which leads to a reduction in the space utilization rate of large and medium-sized cabinets, thereby reducing the efficiency of logistics delivery. Summary of the Invention
[0006] One objective of this application is to provide an automated guided unmanned logistics vehicle that can adjust the size of its storage space, has high space utilization, and high logistics and distribution efficiency.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: an automated guided unmanned logistics transport vehicle, comprising a delivery vehicle body, wherein at least one set of storage cabinets is provided on at least one side of the delivery vehicle body. Each storage cabinet includes a cabinet body, a cabinet door, a partition, and a lock; the cabinet body is embedded in the side of the delivery vehicle body, and the front of the cabinet body is an open structure; at least one partition is detachably provided inside the cabinet body, and the partition is used to divide the interior of the cabinet body into at least two storage chambers along the vertical direction; each storage chamber has a corresponding cabinet door on its front, one side of each cabinet door is rotatably connected to the cabinet body, and the other side of each cabinet door is connected to the cabinet body via a lock.
[0008] Preferably, the lock includes a mounting base, a locking pin, a locking ring, an electromagnet, and a first elastic element; the locking ring is disposed on the cabinet door; the mounting base is built into a mounting hole on the cabinet body, and the mounting base is provided with a notch, a through hole, and a insertion slot from top to bottom, the through hole connecting the notch and the insertion slot; the locking pin is slidably connected to the through hole, and the lower end of the locking pin is provided with a bevel structure; the electromagnet is disposed in the notch, and when the electromagnet is energized, it is used to attract the locking pin to slide upward; the first elastic element is disposed in the through hole, and the first elastic element is used to force the locking pin to slide downward until the lower end of the locking pin abuts against the bottom of the insertion slot. When the cabinet door is closed, the locking ring on the cabinet door inserts into the insertion slot, and the locking ring pushes the locking pin upward through the inclined surface until the lower end of the locking pin is aligned with the center hole of the locking ring. At this point, the first elastic element forces the lower end of the locking pin into the center hole, thus locking the door. When the user inputs the correct command, the corresponding electromagnet is energized, attracting the corresponding locking pin to slide upward until the locking pin separates from the corresponding center hole, thus unlocking the door.
[0009] Preferably, the electromagnets are connected in parallel, and each electromagnet is connected in series with an automatic switch. Each electromagnet and its corresponding automatic switch form a node, and a control switch connects two adjacent nodes. When the control switch is open, the two corresponding automatic switches control their respective electromagnets; when the control switch is closed, either of the two corresponding automatic switches simultaneously controls both electromagnets.
[0010] Preferably, the control switch is a push-button type, and each control switch is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each partition; when the partition is assembled, the partition presses the corresponding control switch, thereby putting the control switch in an open state; when the partition is removed, the corresponding control switch is in a closed state.
[0011] Preferably, the control switch includes an insulating base, an insulating contact, and a second elastic element. The insulating base is embedded in the inner wall of the cabinet, and the insulating base has two conductive seats for respectively connecting two corresponding nodes. The insulating contact is slidably disposed inside the insulating base, with one side of the insulating contact near the inside of the cabinet extending to the outside of the insulating base, and the insulating contact has two mutually conductive contact points. The second elastic element is disposed inside the insulating base. When the partition is removed, the second elastic element forces the insulating contact to slide towards the inside of the cabinet, thereby connecting the two contact points to the two conductive seats respectively. When the partition is assembled, the partition forces the insulating contact to slide away from the inside of the cabinet, thereby separating the contact points from the conductive seats.
[0012] Preferably, the cabinet body has sliding grooves on both the inner left and inner right sides, and the partition is slidably connected to the sliding grooves; either of the two cabinet doors corresponding to the same partition can prevent the partition from sliding out of the sliding groove when the cabinet is closed.
[0013] Preferably, the rear of the left and right sides of the partition is provided with chamfers or rounded corners;
[0014] Preferably, the partition is provided with an anti-slip part.
[0015] Preferably, the first elastic element is a helical spring, and the upper end of the outer ring surface of the locking pin is provided with a positioning groove for positioning the helical spring.
[0016] Preferably, the automated guided unmanned logistics vehicle further includes a pop-out component, and each of the cabinet doors is provided with a pop-out component between it and the cabinet body; when the lock is unlocked, the corresponding pop-out component forces the corresponding cabinet door to pop open automatically.
[0017] Preferably, the elastic element includes a housing, a spring-loaded contact, and a third elastic element. The housing is embedded in the front of the cabinet. The spring-loaded contact is slidably connected to the housing, with its front end extending through the exterior of the housing. The third elastic element is disposed inside the housing. When the cabinet door is closed, the door forces the spring-loaded contact to slide backward, thereby compressing the third elastic element. When the lock is unlocked, the third elastic element forces the spring-loaded contact to slide forward, thereby opening the cabinet door.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: (1) Since at least one partition is detachably provided inside the cabinet, the partition is used to divide the interior of the cabinet into at least two storage cavities in the vertical direction; and since each storage cavity has a corresponding cabinet door on its front, one side of each cabinet door can be rotatably connected to the cabinet, and the other side of each cabinet door is connected to the cabinet through a lock; therefore, when each partition is assembled, each storage cavity is independent of each other, and each storage cavity can correspond to a cabinet door. At this time, each storage cavity is equivalent to a small cabinet compartment in the prior art, which can be used to store small express packages.
[0019] (2) When one of the partitions is removed, the two storage cavities adjacent to that partition above and below it become interconnected, thus forming a larger storage space. Similarly, when two adjacent partitions above and below are removed, the three corresponding adjacent storage cavities above and below become interconnected, thus forming an even larger storage space. In other words, by controlling the number of partitions removed, the adjacent storage cavities above and below become interconnected, achieving a function equivalent to a medium or large cabinet in the prior art. Therefore, in the actual delivery process, a corresponding number of partitions can be selectively removed according to the actual size of the large express packages to be delivered, making the resulting larger storage space more suitable for the actual size of the package, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the storage cabinet. In addition, a corresponding number of partitions can be selectively removed according to the actual number of large express packages to be delivered, thereby forming a corresponding number of storage spaces, to avoid the mismatch between the number of pre-set medium and large cabinets and the actual number of large express packages to be delivered, thus fully improving the space utilization rate of the storage cabinet. With improved space utilization, delivery efficiency will also improve simultaneously.
[0020] (3) Since each of the storage cavities has a corresponding cabinet door on its front, when the partition is removed to connect the adjacent storage cavities to form a large storage space, the front of the large storage space will have at least two cabinet doors. When storing express packages at the workstation, if the package is small, it can be stored directly in one of the storage cavities, and the instruction to retrieve the package will be bound to one of the locks corresponding to that storage cavity; if the package is large, it can be stored in the large storage space (i.e., in at least two adjacent storage cavities), and the instruction to retrieve the package will be bound to at least two locks corresponding to that storage space. When the user inputs the correct instruction, if the user's package is stored in a single storage cavity, the lock corresponding to that single storage cavity will be unlocked to open one of the cabinet doors corresponding to that storage cavity; if the user's package is stored in the large storage space (i.e., in at least two adjacent storage cavities), all the locks corresponding to that storage space will be unlocked simultaneously to open all the cabinet doors corresponding to that storage space.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides an automated guided unmanned logistics delivery vehicle, including a delivery vehicle body 1, and at least one set of storage cabinets 2 are provided on at least one side of the delivery vehicle body 1.
[0042] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The storage cabinet 2 includes a cabinet body 21, a cabinet door 22, a partition 23, and a lock 24. The cabinet body 21 is embedded in the side of the delivery vehicle body 1, and the front of the cabinet body 21 is an open structure. At least one partition 23 is detachably provided inside the cabinet body 21. The partition 23 is used to divide the interior of the cabinet body 21 into at least two storage chambers 211 in the vertical direction. Each storage chamber 211 has a corresponding cabinet door 22 on its front. One side of each cabinet door 22 can be rotatably connected to the cabinet body 21, and the other side of each cabinet door 22 is connected to the cabinet body 21 through a lock 24.
[0043] The working principle of storage cabinet 2 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, after each partition 23 is assembled, each storage cavity 211 is independent of each other, and each storage cavity 211 corresponds to a cabinet door 22. At this time, each storage cavity 211 is equivalent to a small cabinet compartment in the prior art, which can be used to store small express packages.
[0044] like Figure 3As shown, when one partition 23 is removed, the two adjacent storage cavities 211 above and below that partition 23 become interconnected, forming a larger storage space. Similarly, when two adjacent partitions 23 are removed, the corresponding three adjacent storage cavities 211 become interconnected, forming an even larger storage space. In other words, by controlling the number of partitions 23 removed, adjacent storage cavities 211 can be interconnected, achieving a function equivalent to medium or large cabinets in existing technologies. Therefore, in actual delivery, a corresponding number of partitions 23 can be selectively removed based on the actual size of the large packages to be delivered, making the resulting larger storage space more suitable for the actual size of the package, thus improving its space utilization. Furthermore, a corresponding number of partitions 23 can be selectively removed based on the actual number of large packages to be delivered, forming a corresponding number of storage spaces to avoid a mismatch between the pre-set number of medium and large cabinets and the actual number of large packages to be delivered, thereby maximizing the space utilization of the storage cabinet 2. Increased space utilization also simultaneously improves delivery efficiency.
[0045] It should be noted that since each storage compartment 211 has a corresponding cabinet door 22 on its front, when the partition 23 is removed to connect the adjacent storage compartments 211 to form a large storage space, the front of this large storage space will have at least two cabinet doors 22. Therefore, when storing packages at the workstation, if the package is small, it can be stored directly in one storage compartment 211, and the instruction to retrieve the package will be bound to one lock 24 corresponding to that storage compartment 211 (e.g., bound by a single scan or input). If the package is large, it can be stored in a large storage space (i.e., in at least two adjacent storage compartments 211), and the instruction to retrieve the package will simultaneously be bound to at least two locks 24 corresponding to that storage space (e.g., bound by multiple scans or multiple inputs). When the user enters the correct command, if the user's package is stored in a single storage compartment 211, the lock 24 corresponding to that single storage compartment 211 will be unlocked to open the cabinet door 22 corresponding to that storage compartment 211, and the user can retrieve their small package; if the user's package is stored in a large storage space (i.e., stored in at least two adjacent storage compartments 211), all the locks 24 corresponding to that storage space will be unlocked simultaneously to open all the cabinet doors 22 corresponding to that storage space, and the user can retrieve their large package.
[0046] Reference Figures 5 to 9In some embodiments of this application, the lock 24 includes a mounting base 241, a locking pin 242, a locking ring 243, an electromagnet 244, and a first elastic element 245; the locking ring 243 is disposed on the cabinet door 22; the mounting base 241 is built into a mounting hole 212 on the cabinet body 21, and the mounting base 241 is provided with a notch 2411, a through hole 2412, and a insertion groove 2413 from top to bottom, and the through hole 2412 connects the notch 2411 and the insertion groove 2413; the locking pin 242 is slidably connected to the through hole 2412, and the lower end of the locking pin 242 is provided with a bevel structure 2421; the electromagnet 244 is disposed in the notch 2411, and when the electromagnet 244 is energized, it is used to attract the locking pin 242 to slide upward; the first elastic element 245 is disposed in the through hole 2412, and the first elastic element 245 is used to force the locking pin 242 to slide downward until the lower end of the locking pin 242 abuts against the bottom of the insertion groove 2413.
[0047] The working principle of the lock 24 is as follows: Figure 11 and Figure 12 When the cabinet door 22 is closed, the locking ring 243 on the cabinet door 22 is inserted into the insertion slot 2413, and the locking ring 243 pushes the locking pin 242 upward through the inclined surface until the lower end of the locking pin 242 is aligned with the center hole of the locking ring 243. At this time, the first elastic element 245 forces the lower end of the locking pin 242 to insert into the center hole, thus achieving locking. When the user inputs the correct command, the corresponding electromagnet 244 is energized, which attracts the corresponding locking pin 242 to slide upward until the locking pin 242 separates from the corresponding center hole, thus achieving unlocking.
[0048] It is understandable that when a single storage cavity 211 is used to store small packages, the retrieval command only needs to be bound to the electromagnet 244 corresponding to that single storage cavity 211; when multiple storage cavities 211 are interconnected to store large packages, the retrieval command needs to be bound to multiple corresponding electromagnets 244 simultaneously. The above functions can be implemented using the following existing technologies: For small packages, the workstation scans or inputs a code once and sends a verification code to the user (i.e., this verification code constitutes the retrieval command). After the user inputs the verification code, the corresponding electromagnet 244 is energized (i.e., unlocking is achieved), and the corresponding small package can be retrieved. For large packages, the workstation scans or inputs at least twice and sends at least two sets of verification codes to the user (these verification codes together constitute the retrieval command). Each time the user inputs a verification code, a corresponding electromagnet 244 is energized, opening one cabinet door 22. After all verification codes are entered, all corresponding cabinet doors 22 are opened. The aforementioned existing technical methods involve cumbersome procedures, which not only reduces the efficiency of storing and retrieving express packages but also easily leads to a poor user experience for workstations and users.
[0049] Reference Figure 17In some embodiments of this application, to improve the efficiency of parcel retrieval and enhance the user experience of the workstation and users, each electromagnet 244 is connected in parallel, and each electromagnet 244 is connected in series with an automatic switch 3. Each electromagnet 244 and its corresponding automatic switch 3 form a node, and a control switch 4 connects two adjacent nodes. When the control switch 4 is in the open state, the two corresponding automatic switches 3 can control their respective electromagnets 244; when the control switch 4 is in the closed state, either of the two corresponding automatic switches 3 simultaneously controls its respective electromagnets 244. The automatic switch 3 (e.g., a time relay, denoted as KT) and its working principle are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The following provides a specific embodiment (Embodiment 1) to describe the working principle of the automatic switch 3 and the control switch 4.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, if three partitions 23 are arranged vertically and vertically within the same storage cabinet 2, then the storage cabinet 2 will have four storage cavities 211, and four cabinet doors 22 will be provided accordingly; Figure 17 As shown, the four electromagnets 244 arranged vertically correspond to the four storage cavities 211 arranged vertically, and the four automatic switches 3 (for example, the four automatic switches 3 are four time relays with delayed disconnect and normally open contacts, namely KT1, KT2, KT3, and KT4) are connected in series with the four electromagnets 244; the three control switches 4 (i.e., K1, K2, and K3) correspond to the three partitions 23 arranged vertically. Figure 3 As shown, after the three partitions 23 are assembled, all three control switches 4 (i.e., K1, K2, and K3) are in the off state. At this time, the four storage chambers 211 are independent of each other. For example, if the workstation stores a user's package in the bottom storage chamber 211, it only needs to send a command to the user to control KT4 to close. After the user inputs the correct command, the bottom electromagnet 244 can be energized individually to open the bottom cabinet door 22. Figure 4 As shown, after removing the top partition 23, the two storage chambers 211 located above are interconnected, allowing users to store their packages in these two chambers; simultaneously, the corresponding K1 is closed (e.g., Figure 17 As shown), at this time, it is only necessary to send a command to the user to control KT1 or KT2 to close (the workstation can choose one of them arbitrarily). After the user inputs the correct command, the two electromagnets 244 located above can be energized at the same time, and the two cabinet doors 22 above can be opened at the same time.
[0052] In some embodiments of this application, in order to eliminate the need for manual operation of the control switch 4, the control switch 4 is a push-button structure, and each control switch 4 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each partition 23; when the partition 23 is assembled, the partition 23 presses the corresponding control switch 4, thereby putting the control switch 4 in the open state; when the partition 23 is removed, the corresponding control switch 4 is in the closed state.
[0053] Reference Figures 14 to 16 In some embodiments of this application, the control switch 4 includes an insulating base 41, an insulating contact 42, and a second elastic element 43. The insulating base 41 is embedded in the inner wall of the cabinet 21, and the insulating base 41 has two conductive seats 411 for connecting two corresponding nodes respectively. The insulating contact 42 is slidably disposed inside the insulating base 41, with one side of the insulating contact 42 near the inside of the cabinet 21 extending to the outside of the insulating base 41. The insulating contact 42 has two mutually conductive contacts 421. The second elastic element 43 is disposed inside the insulating base 41. When the partition 23 is removed, the second elastic element 43 forces the insulating contact 42 to slide towards the inside of the cabinet 21, so that the two contacts 421 are respectively connected to the two conductive seats 411. At this time, the control switch 4 automatically closes. When the partition 23 is installed, the partition 23 forces the insulating contact 42 to slide away from the inside of the cabinet 21, so that the contacts 421 are separated from the conductive seats 411. At this time, the control switch 4 automatically opens.
[0054] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the inner left and inner right sides of the cabinet 21 are provided with sliding grooves 213, and the partition 23 is slidably connected to the sliding grooves 213, making disassembly and assembly simple and convenient. Figure 11 As shown, either of the two cabinet doors 22 corresponding to the same partition 23 can prevent the partition 23 from sliding out of the slide groove 213 when it is closed, thus preventing the partition 23 from being pulled out when a single cabinet door 22 is opened.
[0055] Reference Figure 15 In some embodiments of this application, the rear of the left and right sides of the partition 23 is adapted to have a chamfer 231 (or rounded corner). On the one hand, the chamfer 231 or rounded corner facilitates the insertion of the partition 23 into the corresponding groove 213; on the other hand, when the push-button control switch 4 is located on the side of the partition 23, the chamfer 231 or rounded corner facilitates the gradual pressing of the insulating contact 42 when inserting the partition 23, thereby forcing the insulating contact 42 to slide inward away from the cabinet 21.
[0056] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, in order to facilitate the sliding removal of the partition 23, the partition 23 is provided with an anti-slip part 232.
[0057] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 12 In some embodiments of this application, the first elastic element 245 is a helical spring, and the upper end of the outer ring surface of the locking pin 242 is provided with a positioning groove 2422 for positioning the helical spring. The positioning groove 2422 facilitates the positioning of the helical spring.
[0058] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the automated guided unmanned logistics vehicle also includes a pop-out component 5, and each cabinet door 22 is provided with a pop-out component 5 between it and the cabinet body 21; when the lock 24 is unlocked, the corresponding pop-out component 5 forces the corresponding cabinet door 22 to pop open automatically.
[0059] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 13 In some embodiments of this application, the elastic element includes a housing 51, a spring-loaded contact 52, and a third elastic element 53. The housing 51 is embedded in the front of the cabinet 21; the spring-loaded contact 52 is slidably connected to the housing 51, with its front end extending through the exterior of the housing 51; the third elastic element 53 is disposed inside the housing 51. When the cabinet door 22 is closed, the cabinet door 22 forces the spring-loaded contact 52 to slide backward, thereby compressing the third elastic element 53; when the lock 24 is unlocked, the third elastic element 53 forces the spring-loaded contact 52 to slide forward, thereby opening the cabinet door 22.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.

Then, the first elastic element (245) forces the lower end of the locking pin (242) to insert into the center hole, thereby achieving locking. When the user inputs the correct command, the corresponding electromagnet (244) is energized, which attracts the corresponding locking pin (242) to slide upward until the locking pin (242) separates from the corresponding center hole, thus unlocking the device. Each of the electromagnets (244) is connected in parallel, and each of the electromagnets (244) is connected in series with an automatic switch (3). Each of the electromagnets (244) and the corresponding automatic switch (3) form a node, and a control switch (4) is connected between two adjacent nodes. When the control switch (4) is in the open state, the two corresponding automatic switches (3) can control the two corresponding electromagnets (244) respectively; when the control switch (4) is in the closed state, either of the two corresponding automatic switches (3) can control the two corresponding electromagnets (244) simultaneously.
2. The automated guided unmanned logistics transport vehicle as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The control switch (4) is a push-button type, and each control switch (4) is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each partition (23). When the partition (23) is assembled, the partition (23) presses the corresponding control switch (4), thereby putting the control switch (4) in the open state. When the partition (23) is removed, the corresponding control switch (4) is in the closed state.
3. The automated guided unmanned logistics transport vehicle as described in claim 2, characterized in that, The control switch (4) includes an insulating base (41), an insulating contact (42), and a second elastic element (43); the insulating base (41) is embedded in the inner wall of the cabinet (21), and the insulating base (41) has two conductive seats (411) for connecting the corresponding two nodes respectively; the insulating contact (42) is slidably disposed inside the insulating base (41), and one side of the insulating contact (42) near the inside of the cabinet (21) extends to the outside of the insulating base (41), and the insulating contact (42) has two mutually conductive contacts; the second elastic element (43) is disposed inside the insulating base (41); When the partition (23) is removed, the second elastic element (43) forces the insulating contact (42) to slide towards the interior of the cabinet (21), thereby making the two contacts connected to the two conductive seats (411) respectively; when the partition (23) is assembled, the partition (23) forces the insulating contact (42) to slide away from the interior of the cabinet (21), thereby separating the contact from the conductive seat (411).
4. The automated guided unmanned logistics transport vehicle as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The cabinet (21) is provided with a sliding groove (213) on the inner left and inner right sides, and the partition (23) is slidably connected to the sliding groove (213); either of the two cabinet doors (22) corresponding to the same partition (23) can prevent the partition (23) from sliding out of the sliding groove (213) when it is closed.
