Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a robot delivery device suitable for hotels. Background Art

[0002] A vending machine is a machine that sells goods automatically. It places the goods in a special device and then uses a display device with an operating interface and operating system to achieve self-service shopping. Consumers only need to hand in cash or scan a code to pay, and they can buy the goods they need. It is simple and convenient. For investors, vending machines occupy a small area and have a more flexible operating method, so they are also favored by investors.

[0003] At present, in order to better improve the service experience of hotel rooms, some smart hotels have introduced mini vending machines in hotel rooms. In some large hotels, due to the large number of guest rooms, if a vending machine is required in each room, a large number of machines and a large number of manpower are required to maintain them, which results in high operating costs.

[0011] Figure 3 It is an exploded structural diagram of a vending device in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments. The embodiments described are only a part of the present invention. These embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute any limitation to the scope of the present invention.

[0013] See Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a robot delivery device suitable for hotels, including a mobile robot 1, a vending device 2 and a shopping platform. The shopping platform is used to receive shopping information and send instructions to the mobile robot 1 based on the shopping information. The instructions carry a shopping list and delivery information. The mobile robot 1 moves to the delivery destination based on the delivery information, and then controls the vending device 2 to complete the delivery based on the shopping list.

[0014] In the present invention, when a consumer in a hotel room needs to shop, he can log in to the shopping platform by scanning the QR code in the room to shop. After completing the shopping and paying, the shopping platform sends an instruction to the mobile robot based on the shopping information. The instruction carries the shopping list and delivery information. The mobile robot moves to the delivery destination based on the delivery information, and then controls the vending device to complete the delivery based on the shopping list. In this case, there is no need to arrange a vending device in each room, reducing operating costs.

[0015] Furthermore, the vending device includes a vending box 21, a box door 22 and a rotating shelf 23. The rotating shelf 23, a driving mechanism 24, a rotating lock 25 and a spring member 26 are installed in the vending box 21. The box door 22 is provided with a buckling portion 221. The rotating lock 25 is rotatably connected to the vending box 21. The rotating lock 25 is buckled on the buckling portion 221. The spring member 26 has a pre-tightening force that makes the rotating lock 25 buckled on the buckling portion 221. The driving mechanism 24 is controlled by the mobile robot 1 to drive the rotating shelf 23 to rotate. The rotating shelf 23 A plurality of cargo storage slots 231 are arranged circumferentially, and the rotating shelf 231 is provided with a plurality of slope blocks 232. The number of the slope blocks 232 is the same as that of the cargo storage slots 231. The slope block 232 includes a high end 2321, a low end 2322 and an inclined surface 2323. When the rotating shelf 23 rotates forward, the rotating lock 25 contacts the low end 2322 and can pass over the high end 2321 along the inclined surface 2323. When the rotating shelf 23 rotates reversely, the rotating lock 25 contacts the high end 2321, and the slope block 232 drives the rotating lock 25 to rotate and disengage from the buckling portion 221, so as to unlock the box door 22. When the vending device of the present invention is in use, the mobile robot drives the rotating shelf to rotate forward. At this time, the rotating lock first contacts the lower end and then passes over the higher end along the inclined surface. During the whole process, the rotating lock remains engaged with the engaging portion. In this way, the rotating shelf can transport the corresponding storage slot to the door. After the corresponding storage slot is rotated to the door, the rotating shelf is reversed. At this time, the rotating lock touches the high end of the slope block, driving the rotating lock to rotate and disengage from the engaging portion to unlock. After shopping is completed, the door is closed again, the rotating shelf rotates forward, and the rotating lock returns to its original position under the action of the elastic member and fastens the engaging portion again.

[0016] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 24 includes a motor 241, a worm 242, a worm wheel 243, a first gear 244, and a second gear 245. The motor 241 is connected to the worm 242, the worm 242 is meshed with the worm wheel 243, the worm 242 is coaxially arranged with the first gear 244, the second gear 245 is installed on the rotating shelf 23, and the first gear 244 is meshed with the second gear 245. Here, the worm wheel is used to realize self-locking to prevent others from manually rotating the rotating shelf when it is opened.
