[0039] like Figure 1-4As shown, a drone delivery cargo cabinet 100 of a preferred embodiment of an embodiment of the present invention includes: a cabinet body 1, a bottom plate 2, and a blanking assembly 3, wherein the blanking assembly 3 includes: a guide rail 31, a limit plate 32, a blanking plate 33 and a driving member 34.

[0040] Specifically, the cabinet 1 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and is a hollow structure. A cargo inlet 11 is arranged on the top of the cabinet 1, and cargo can enter the cabinet 1 through the cargo inlet 11; a cargo outlet 12 is arranged on the side of the cabinet 1, and the cargo outlet 12 is an opening provided for users to take out cargo, and one cargo outlet 12 is correspondingly arranged under each blanking assembly 3.

[0041] Specifically, a bottom plate 2 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1, and the bottom plate 2 may be in a rectangular parallelepiped, a cube, a circle, etc., and the area of ​​the bottom plate 2 needs to be larger than the area of ​​the bottom surface of the cabinet 1. The bottom plate 2 may be fixed to the bottom of the cabinet 1 by screws, or by welding, slot connection, mortise and tenon structure, etc.

[0042] Specifically, the blanking components 3 are arranged at equal intervals on the cabinet 1 from bottom to top, dividing the cabinet 1 into a multi-level structure. In other words, each layer of the cabinet 1 is provided with a blanking component 3, and the cabinet 1 is provided with a plurality of layers and also with a plurality of blanking components 3. The blanking components 3 can receive goods transmitted from the upper layer, and can also transmit goods on the current layer to the lower layer.

[0043] The blanking assembly 3 includes a guide rail 31 disposed on the cabinet 1, and the guide rail 31 is disposed on the cabinet 1 in a horizontal direction. The number of the guide rails 31 may be 1, 2, etc. The guide rail 31 may be disposed in the following manners: both ends of the guide rail 31 are disposed on the cabinet 1, and the guide rail 31 is located in a hollow position of the cabinet 1; the guide rail 31 is disposed along the side wall of the cabinet 1.

[0044] The blanking assembly 3 also includes a limit plate 32, which is arranged in the middle position above the guide rail 31. The limit plate 32 is arranged higher than the guide rail 31, and divides the guide rail 31 into a cargo release area and an idle area. The idle area is arranged away from the delivery port 12, and the cargo inlet 11 and the delivery port 12 are arranged at the top and side of the cargo release area. The setting direction of the limit plate 32 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the blanking plate 33. The limit plate 32 arranged in this way can block the goods on the blanking plate 33, so that the goods do not move from the cargo release area to the idle area with the blanking plate 33, so that the goods fall vertically to the blanking plate 33 in the next layer in the cargo release area due to the blocking of the limit plate 32 during the movement of the blanking plate 33.

[0045] The blanking assembly 3 also includes a blanking plate 33, which is slidably connected to the guide rail 31 and is arranged below the limit plate 32. The blanking plate 33 can be in the cargo release area, the idle area, and in the process of moving from the cargo release area to the idle area on the guide rail 31. When the blanking plate 33 is in the idle area, a transmission channel is formed between the cargo release areas of two adjacent layers, and the cargo falls from the transmission channel to the blanking plate 33 of the lower layer. In the embodiment of the present invention, a buffer pad can be provided on the blanking plate 33, and the material of the buffer pad is an elastic material such as rubber. The buffer pad can reduce the impact force of the cargo falling onto the blanking plate 33, reduce the damage to the cargo itself, and also reduce the generation of noise.

[0046] The blanking assembly 3 also includes a driving member 34, which is used to drive the blanking plate 33 to slide between the cargo release area and the idle area. In the embodiment of the present invention, the driving member 34 includes a telescopic rod and a brushed motor, wherein the brushed motor is electrically connected to the telescopic rod, one end of the telescopic rod is connected to the blanking plate 33, and the other end is connected to the cabinet 1 away from the side of the delivery port 12. The brushed motor is a rotating motor containing a brush device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (motor) or mechanical energy into electrical energy (generator). When the blanking plate 33 moves from the cargo release area to the idle area, the brushed motor drives the telescopic rod to retract, thereby driving the blanking plate 33 to move from the cargo release area to the idle area; when the blanking plate 33 moves from the idle area to the cargo release area, the brushed motor is driven in reverse, thereby driving the telescopic rod to extend, thereby driving the blanking plate 33 to move from the idle area to the cargo release area.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet 1 is a bracket 13 structure, and the bracket structure includes a plurality of vertically arranged longitudinal brackets 13 and a plurality of horizontally arranged transverse brackets 14, and the guide rail 31 is arranged on the side panel 15 adjacent to the delivery port 12.

[0048] Specifically, the cabinet 1 is an open frame structure assembled by brackets 13. The bracket 13 structure is a frame set on the bottom plate 2. It is light in weight and easy to move and install. Among them, the material of the bracket 13 can be stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, and composite materials. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the bracket 13 is stainless steel, which is heavy and can be placed firmly on the ground. It has high strength, good corrosion resistance, is not easy to rust, and can effectively resist ultraviolet aging. In the embodiment of the present invention, the guide rail 31 in the blanking assembly 3 is set on the inner side of the horizontal bracket 14.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, two guide rails 31 are provided. The two guide rails 31 are respectively provided on two transverse brackets adjacent to the delivery port 12. Both ends of the blanking plate 33 are respectively connected to the two guide rails 31. The two guide rails 31 are provided in the cabinet 1, so that the blanking plate 33 can be more firmly mounted on the guide rails 31, and provide more stable support for the goods dropped on the blanking plate 33. When there are heavier goods on the blanking plate 33, the two guide rails 31 can distribute the weight more evenly on the structure of the cabinet 1, reduce the pressure on a single track, and extend the service life of the guide rails 31 and the cabinet 1. The design of the two guide rails 31 can also carry a larger weight because they can share the load together.

[0050] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet 1 further includes a side panel 14, the side panel 15 is arranged between two adjacent longitudinal brackets 13 and two adjacent transverse brackets 14, and the delivery port 12 is arranged on the side panel 15 on one side.

[0051] The embodiment of the present invention forms a closed structure by arranging side panels 14 between the brackets 13, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the entire cabinet 1 and improving the load-bearing capacity. Similarly, since the side panels 14 are arranged on all sides, the goods will not be stuck on the brackets 13, ensuring the smoothness of the transportation of the goods in the cabinet 1.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, the side panel 15 opposite to the side panel 15 on which the delivery port 12 is provided constitutes the limiting plate 32. The limiting plate 32 formed by the side panel 15 is provided between two adjacent transverse brackets 14, which can completely limit and block the synchronous movement of the goods with the blanking plate 33, thereby improving the efficiency of goods transmission.

[0053] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the guide rail is extended outward along the side of the transverse bracket opposite to the delivery port, that is, the length of the guide rail 31 is longer than the transverse bracket of the cabinet 1. In this way, the transverse bracket 14 can provide stable support for the guide rail 31, thereby reducing the material required for the cabinet 1 and thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0054] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a slide groove 311 is provided on the guide rail 31 , and a mounting portion matching the slide groove 311 is provided at the contact point between the blanking plate 33 and the guide rail 31 .

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, a slide groove 311 is provided on the guide rail 31. The slide groove 311 is consistent with the length of the guide rail 31. The slide groove 311 can be T-shaped, C-shaped, etc. The two end surfaces of the blanking plate 33 that contact the guide rail 31 are provided with mounting parts. The mounting parts are in a shape that can be embedded in the slide groove 311, so that the blanking plate 33 is firmly installed on the guide rail 31. By providing the slide groove 311 and the mounting part, the embodiment of the present invention can significantly reduce the direct contact area between the blanking plate 33 and the guide rail 31, thereby reducing the friction force, so that the blanking plate 33 can slide on the guide rail 31 more easily and smoothly.

[0056] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the length of the guide rail 31 to the length of the blanking plate 33 is (1.9-2.2):1, and the limiting plate 32 is arranged in the middle of the guide rail 31.

[0057] Specifically, when the ratio of the length of the guide rail 31 to the length of the blanking plate 33 is (1.9~2.2):1, and the limiting plate 32 is located in the middle of the guide rail 31, the areas of the cargo placement area and the idle area on both sides of the guide rail 31 are the same, and the blanking plate 33 can cover most of the areas of the cargo placement area and the idle area.

[0058] When the blanking plate 33 is in the cargo release area, the cargo falling from the upper cargo release area can be caught by the blanking plate 33 of this layer. When the blanking plate 33 moves from the cargo release area to the idle area, the cargo on the blanking plate 33 does not move with the blanking plate 33 due to the restriction and obstruction of the limit plate 32, and the cargo will fall off the blanking plate 33 and fall downward. When the blanking plate 33 is in the idle area and the length of the guide rail 31 is 1.9 times the length of the blanking plate 33, the area of ​​the blanking plate 33 that has not moved to the idle area is small, and generally no cargo is stored on the blanking plate 33. However, when the blanking plate 33 is in the idle area and the length of the guide rail 31 is less than 1.9 times the length of the blanking plate 33, the area of ​​the blanking plate 33 that has not moved to the idle area may be able to store cargo, that is, the cargo placed on the blanking plate 33 may not all be transferred to the lower layer. Preferably, the ratio of the length of the guide rail 31 to the blanking plate 33 is 2:1. At this time, the blanking plate 33 has no overlapping parts in the cargo release area and the idle area, and all the goods can be transferred to the lower layer, and at this time the guide rail 31 area.

[0059] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the cargo container 100 further includes a discharge pipe 4 , which is disposed above the cargo inlet 11 and communicated with the cargo inlet 11 , and an upper diameter of the discharge pipe 4 is greater than a lower diameter of the discharge pipe 4 .

[0060] Specifically, the present invention is a cargo cabinet 100 for drone delivery. In order to facilitate the unloading of the drone, a discharge pipe 4 is provided above the cargo inlet 11, and the drone can transfer the cargo to the cargo inlet 11 through the discharge pipe 4 to enter the cargo cabinet 100. When the cargo enters the discharge pipe 4, the larger upper diameter can more easily accommodate cargo of various shapes and sizes, reducing the possibility of the cargo getting stuck or falling and deviating. As the cargo moves downward, the gradually narrowing diameter can help concentrate the cargo flow so that it can smoothly enter the express storage cabinet below. At the same time, the upper diameter of the discharge pipe 4 is larger than the lower diameter, so that the side wall of the discharge pipe 4 is inclined, and the cargo can be transferred downward along the side wall of the discharge pipe 4.

[0061] The present invention disperses the impact force of falling cargoes by arranging the unloading pipe 4, thereby reducing damage to the device and also reducing potential damage to the cargoes themselves.

[0062] The present invention is also provided with a detection device (not shown in the figure), and each layer of the cabinet 1 is provided with a detection device, and the detection device can be an infrared optical coupler, a laser detection device, etc. When the detection device is an infrared optical coupler, if there is cargo placed on the blanking plate 33, because the cargo is placed between the transmitter and the receiver, the infrared beam is blocked, and the receiver will not be able to receive the optical signal, and the cargo-only state of the blanking plate 33 of this layer is obtained to be an occupied state; if there is no cargo placed on the blanking plate 33, and the receiver receives the optical signal of the transmitter, the cargo-only state of the blanking plate 33 of this layer is obtained to be an idle state.

[0063] Another aspect of the present invention provides a working method based on the cargo cabinet 100 for drone delivery, comprising:

[0064] The goods are placed on the blanking plate 33 of the blanking assembly 3, and the goods occupancy state of the blanking plate 33 of the next layer of the current goods is determined, wherein the goods occupancy state includes an occupied state and an idle state;

[0065] According to the cargo occupation status of the next layer blanking plate 33, operations are performed on the cargo, specifically as follows:

[0066] If the blanking plate 33 of the next layer is in an idle state, the driving member 34 of the layer where the current goods are located is started, and the driving member 34 drives the blanking plate 33 to slide from the cargo release area to the idle area, and the goods are blocked by the limit plate 32 and then fall to the blanking plate 33 of the next layer. When all the goods fall, the blanking plate 33 slides from the idle area to the cargo release area; repeat this operation until the blanking plate 33 of the next layer is in an occupied state;

[0067] If the blanking plate 33 of the next layer is in an occupied state, the goods are placed on the blanking plate 33 of this layer, and the blanking plate 33 of this layer is in the cargo release area.

[0068] The working process of the present invention is as follows: when the blanking plate 33 is located in the cargo release area on the guide rail 31, the blanking plate 33 can receive the cargo transmitted by the upper blanking plate 33; when the blanking plate 33 moves from the cargo release area to the idle area, the cargo on the blanking plate 33 is restricted and blocked by the limiting plate 32, and will fall from the blanking plate 33 to the blanking plate 33 of the next layer, thereby completing the transportation of the cargo.

[0069] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a cargo cabinet for drone delivery and a working method thereof, which is provided with a plurality of blanking components from bottom to top in the cabinet, wherein the blanking components include a guide rail installed on the cabinet and a blanking plate that can slide on the guide rail, and a limit plate is also provided on the guide rail, which divides the guide rail into a cargo release area and an idle area, and the blanking plate can slide on the guide rail to the cargo release area or the idle area. The operation of cargo transmission in the present invention is simple and low in cost, and the cargo transmission in the cabinet can be completed without manual operation.

[0070] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
