Detailed implementation manners
[0037] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation manners, structures, features and their effects of the present invention as follows.
[0038] Embodiment 1:
[0039] A box with mechanical legs provided in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 、Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it includes a box body 1 for accommodating items, a mechanical leg assembly 2, an attitude sensing module, a battery module, and a control module. The attitude sensing module is used to detect the attitude of the box body 1; the mechanical leg assembly 2 includes two mechanical legs 3, the mechanical legs 3 are connected to the box body 1, the mechanical legs 3 are located below the box body 1 or the two mechanical legs 3 are respectively located on both sides of the box body 1. The attitude sensing module, the battery module, and the mechanical legs 3 are all electrically connected to the control module. The control module is used to control the actions of each mechanical leg 3, and the battery module is used for power supply.
[0040] The use of mechanical legs 3 can effectively improve the ability to cross thresholds and stairs. When in use, the control module controls the mechanical legs 3 to walk like a human, thereby realizing the movement of the box body 1; the attitude sensing module cooperates with the control module, and can control the movement of the mechanical legs 3 in real time by sensing the attitude of the box body 1, so as to maintain the balance of walking and the stability of standing. Its walking and standing are more intelligent, and it can also quickly adjust to maintain stability after being collided, preventing falling, and thus ensuring the safety of the luggage in the box body 1, especially for easily broken items.
[0041] In order to reduce the storage volume, the mechanical legs 3 can be folded; in the unfolded state of the mechanical legs 3, the mechanical legs 3 form a two-foot support; in the folded state of the mechanical legs 3, the mechanical legs 3 are retracted towards the box body 1. In this embodiment, the unfolding direction of the mechanical legs 3 is one side with the smallest surface area away from the box body 1, which can make the center of gravity of the box body 1 concentrate above the mechanical legs 3 after the mechanical legs 3 are unfolded, making the whole more stable and facilitating the adjustment of the center of gravity position by the mechanical legs 3.
[0042] On one side of the box body 1 facing the mechanical legs 3, there is a recessed storage groove 12. In the folded state of the mechanical legs 3, the mechanical legs 3 are located in the storage groove 12, that is, the mechanical legs 3 will not exceed the box body 1 in the folded state. The box body 1 is a luggage case, which can ensure the size of the box body, facilitate storage at the luggage storage point, and at the same time reduce the risk of the mechanical legs 3 colliding with the outside world and improve the service life of the mechanical legs 3.
[0043] In order to make the movement of the box body intelligent, it further includes a detection module. The detection module is used to detect the forward path and / or the backward path of the box body 1; the detection module includes a radar 9 and / or a visual detection device 10. The radar 9 can be a lidar, an ultrasonic radar, etc.; in this embodiment, the radar 9 is a lidar, and the visual detection device 10 is a binocular vision. The radar 9 is arranged on the forward side of the box body 1, and the visual detection device 10 is arranged on the backward side of the box body 1. By detecting the road, the control module can better control the actions of the mechanical legs 3, especially the crossing of thresholds, stairs, etc., and can avoid obstacles in time.
[0044] For the convenience of battery replacement, the battery module includes a detachable battery 8. The detachable design between the battery 8 and the box body 1 facilitates the replacement of the battery 8, and the operation time of the box can be extended by replacing the battery 8. In this embodiment, the battery 8 is a lithium battery with a capacity of 26,000 mAh, which has a large capacity, a fast charging speed, and can be carried onto an airplane normally. Two batteries 8 are provided.
[0045] Embodiment 2:
[0046] For a box with mechanical legs provided in this embodiment, in order to move faster, as Figure 3 shown, in addition to the features described in Embodiment 1, a pulley 4 is provided on the mechanical leg 3. The design of the pulley 4 can reduce the control accuracy requirement of the control module for the mechanical leg 3, with a fast moving speed and a more stable overall standing.
[0047] For reliable movement, a driving member 6 is provided on the pulley 4, that is, the pulley 4 is a driving wheel. The design of the driving member 6 can drive the pulley 4 to rotate, thereby driving the box to move. The moving speed of the box is faster. The driving member 6 is directly connected to the pulley 4, that is, the driving member 6 can directly control the rotation speed of the pulley 4 to achieve acceleration, deceleration, and braking.
[0048] For convenient installation, the pulley 4 is located at the end of the mechanical leg 3, that is, the pulley 4 is located at the end of the calf unit 17, which is convenient for installation, and the control module only needs to calculate the end position of the mechanical leg 3 to control the position of the pulley 4, with a low control difficulty.
[0049] Of course, the pulley 4 can also be located in the middle or lower part of the mechanical leg 3. That is, it can either use the end of the mechanical leg 3 to walk like a person or use the pulley 4 to achieve fast movement. When using the pulley 4, only the included angle between the mechanical leg 3 and the ground needs to be controlled to prevent the two ends of the mechanical leg 3 from contacting and rubbing against the ground. At the same time, the contact between the mechanical leg 3 and the ground can also be used as an emergency brake. In the two-foot standing state, the end of the mechanical leg 3 is in contact with the ground, which can play an auxiliary supporting role and make the standing more stable.

The rollers 7 are rotatably connected to the box body 1 and are located on the same side of the box body 1 as the extending direction of the mechanical legs 3. The design of the rollers 7 can facilitate the user in moving the box body. When the user moves the box body manually, the box body 1 can be tilted so that only the rollers 7 or the pulleys 4 are in contact with the ground, making it easier for the user to push or pull the box body. When there is only a pair of rollers 7, in the folded state of the mechanical legs 3, the rollers 7 and the pulleys 4 form a four-foot support, enabling the box body 1 to maintain stability in the upright state. When manually pushing, both the pulleys 4 and the rollers 7 can roll relative to the ground, facilitating the user to directly push the box body without tilting the box body 1. The driving member 6 can drive the pulleys 4 to make the dragging of the box body more labor-saving, or when both the rollers 7 and the pulleys 4 are in contact with the ground, allow the user to ride on the box body 1 for movement, forming a riding state.
[0051] As Figure 4 shown, at least a pair of support blocks 11 can also be provided on the box body 1. The support blocks 11 are located on the same side of the box body 1 as the extending direction of the mechanical legs 3. In the folded state of the mechanical legs 3, the support blocks 11 and the pulleys 4 form a four-foot support. The design of the support blocks 11 enables the box body 1 to maintain stability in the upright state. When the user moves the box body manually, the box body 1 can be tilted so that only the pulleys 4 are in contact with the ground, making it easier for the user to push or pull the box body.
[0052] In this embodiment, two pairs of rollers 7 are provided on the box body 1. The rollers 7 are rotatably connected to the box body 1. In the folded state of the mechanical legs 3, the two pairs of rollers 7 can make the movement of the box body smoother. In the riding state, the rollers 7 are in contact with the ground. The driving member 6 can drive the pulleys 4 to make the dragging of the box body more labor-saving, or can move together with the user riding on the box body 1 and the box body 1.
[0053] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, the mechanical leg 3 includes a first driving device 14, a second driving device 15, a thigh unit 16 and a calf unit 17. Both ends of the thigh unit 16 are respectively connected to the calf unit 17 and the box body 1. The first driving device 14 is used to drive the thigh unit 16 to rotate, and the second driving device 15 is used to drive the calf unit 17 to rotate.
[0054] Specifically, the thigh unit 16 and the calf unit 17 are rotatably connected, and the second driving device 15 is connected to the calf unit 17; the second driving device 15 adopts a telescopic rod, one end of the telescopic rod is hinged to the thigh unit 16, and the other end of the telescopic rod is hinged to the calf unit 17. The telescopic movement of the telescopic rod can drive the relative rotation of the thigh unit 16 and the calf unit 17; a connecting unit 13 is provided at the root end of the thigh unit 16, the connecting unit 13 is fixedly connected to the box body 1, the connecting unit 13 is rotatably connected to the thigh unit 16, and the first driving device 14 is connected to the thigh unit 16 through a transmission device; the first driving device 14 adopts a motor, and the transmission device adopts a turntable 18 and a connecting rod 19. The turntable 18 is connected to the output end of the motor, and the two ends of the connecting rod 19 are respectively hinged to the turntable 18 and the thigh unit 16. The connecting rod 19 is eccentrically arranged with the turntable 18. The rotation of the motor drives the turntable 18 to rotate, the turntable 18 drives the connecting rod 19 to move, and the connecting rod 19 then drives the thigh unit 16 to rotate relative to the connecting unit 13.
[0055] In this embodiment, the mechanical leg 3, the pulley 4, and the driving member 6 are already disclosed structures. For example, the Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN220483450U discloses a wheel-foot structure and a robot, the Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN118753400A discloses the leg structure of a wheel-foot robot, a wheel-foot robot, and a four-wheel-foot robot, the Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN209700376U discloses a driving wheel, and the Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN116512894A discloses a driving wheel.

The detection module includes a lidar and a camera. It also includes intelligent devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, or smart glasses. The control module is provided with a pilot mode and a follow mode;
[0066] In the pilot mode, the control method includes:
[0067] S0. Receive satellite signals through the satellite navigation module for positioning;
[0068] S1. Use the detection module to scan the surrounding environment and construct a spatial map.
[0069] Specifically, through the real-time detection of the surrounding environment by the detection module and the conversion of the detection data into a three-dimensional model. In this embodiment, the LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology is used to perform real-time and accurate scanning of the environment to generate high-precision point cloud data of the environment. These point cloud data are converted into a 3D model of the indoor environment through post-processing algorithms (such as SLAM - Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). Laser scanning is also applicable to indoor environments for high-precision indoor modeling, and can generate detailed spatial information such as walls, doors, windows, and furniture.
[0070] At the same time, the camera detects and identifies features such as objects, signs, exits, and stairs in the environment.
[0071] S2. The detection module identifies the feature objects in the surrounding environment and locates them.
[0072] Specifically, the feature objects include positioning feature objects and interest feature objects. The positioning feature objects are used for positioning, and the positioning feature objects include signs, landmark buildings, etc. The interest feature objects are used for augmented reality use, and the interest feature objects are transmitted to the smart device through the communication module for AR display. The interest feature objects include toilets, entrances and exits, stores, etc.
[0073] When indoors, the detection module performs real-time identification of the positioning feature objects in the surrounding environment and, in combination with image processing algorithms, calculates the current accurate position.
[0074] S3. Receive the destination instruction issued by the user and plan a route to reach the user-specified location.
[0075] Specifically, obtain the image of the surrounding environment through the camera, and then combine it with the map and positioning data to generate virtual navigation information. In this embodiment, the camera performs real-time identification of the landmarks in the surrounding environment, such as the names of different stores and streets, and in combination with image processing algorithms, can calculate the current accurate position in real time and accurately, and can also calibrate the planned navigation route in real time.
[0076] Of course, the camera can also perform real-time identification of specific landmarks in the environment, such as real-time identification of two-dimensional codes, barcodes, or special tags, and in combination with image processing algorithms, can calculate the current accurate position in real time. This is more suitable for indoor positioning and requires artificial pre-arrangement of specific landmarks.
[0077] S4. Move along the route to reach the destination.
[0078] In the pilot mode, the box leads the user to guide the way. The detection module detects the user's position. If the user yaws, it will follow the user's movement and re-plan the route to the destination.
[0079] In the state of no user accompaniment, the box can be used to convey documents, goods, etc. from point to point according to the planned route.
[0080] In the follow mode, the detection module identifies the user, and the control module controls the box to follow the user's movement. In this embodiment, the visual detection device 10 or the camera identifies the user, and identifies the user through the face, clothing, body posture, etc.
[0081] It also includes a voice module. In the follow mode, after receiving the destination instruction issued by the user and planning the route, if the user yaws, it will give a voice reminder through the voice module.
[0082] By converting environmental data into a 3D model for path planning of navigation, these 3D models can not only help understand the spatial structure, but also help the user avoid blocked areas or select a flatter path by analyzing the layout of obstacles.
[0083] Through the intelligent device combined with the augmented reality (AR) technology, the real-time visual information of the environment is superimposed and displayed with the navigation information. This can not only display the path during navigation, but also mark the nearby points of interest, enhancing the user's immersive experience. The intelligent device obtains the environmental image through the camera, and then combines it with the data of the map and the positioning system to generate virtual navigation information.
[0084] Through the communication module for data communication with the server and the intelligent device, the positioning of the box can use GSM / GPRS network positioning, or can use cellular base station positioning. Using the signal strength (RSSI) of the GSM base station and the positioning algorithm, the position is estimated through the signal difference between multiple base stations. It can also use GPRS network assisted positioning, WiFi positioning technology, Bluetooth low energy (BLE) positioning. The above positioning methods are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated in this article.

[0087] In a noisy environment, such as on the street, in a shopping mall, on public transportation, etc., it can automatically switch to the headset mode, and voice interaction through a Bluetooth headset can avoid the interference of ambient noise.
[0088] To facilitate controlling the appropriate volume, the control module presets multiple sound zones with different volumes. In the state of playing voice externally, the microphone detects the volume of ambient noise and transmits the volume to the control module. The control module performs sound zone matching on the volume of ambient noise and selects a matching sound zone from the preset multiple sound zones, and then controls the volume of the voice played by the voice module according to the matching sound zone, which can effectively control the size of the playback volume, so that the voice can be heard by the user in the ambient noise and will not be too loud to affect the surroundings.
[0089] In this embodiment, the microphone is equipped with multiple components to form a microphone array, and the differential acoustic signal processing is used to judge the noise level of the surrounding environment. The microphone array can capture more accurate environmental sound characteristics and analyze the noise frequency in the environment through algorithms. Through a noise detection algorithm (such as spectral analysis based on audio signals), the size and characteristics of the current ambient noise can be monitored in real time to judge whether the environment is quiet, noisy, or has strong background noise.
