[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inside", "around" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0025] The following is based on Figures 1-10 The present invention describes an intelligent storage cabinet based on drone delivery provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The smart storage cabinet based on drone delivery includes a cabinet body 3, a bottom support platform 1 under the cabinet body 3, a protective fence 2 that surrounds the cabinet body 3 on the edge of the bottom support platform 1, and an entrance and exit 7 opposite to the taking port 5 is opened on one side of the protective fence 2. According to the roof conditions of existing buildings, the roof is technically modified to meet the requirements of smart storage cabinets. Then, by preferably setting the cabinet body 3 and the protective fence 2 as a circular structure, and using the bottom support platform 1 as a supporting platform, it is loaded on the roof of the building. The overall production cost is low, it can be easily assembled on the roof for use, and it occupies less space, has less impact on pedestrians, and is safer to use.

[0027] In addition, a support platform 8 is provided inside the cabinet 3, a storage platform 12 is provided on the support platform 8, a storage top cover 4 that passes through the cabinet 3 is provided above the storage platform 12, a storage pushing path of the storage platform 12 is provided with a first pushing plate 13, a rotating storage tray 15 is provided on the outside of the support platform 8, and the rotating storage tray 15 is provided with at least one set of storage partitions 16 along its axial direction, and a second pushing plate 18 is provided on the rotation path of the storage partition 16. Through the setting of the storage top cover 4, when the drone is not transporting items, it is closed in the upper part of the cabinet 3 as a covering structure, which plays a daily closed protection role. When the man-machine transports the items and lands on the cabinet 3, the storage top cover 4 serves as a storage platform to carry the items and moves down to store the items inside the cabinet 3. After the items move down into the storage platform 12, the first pushing plate 13 is used to push the items between the adjacent storage partitions 16, and the rotation of the rotating storage plate 15 is used to rotate the items and the storage platform 12 to be misaligned, so as to facilitate the subsequent storage of items. The rotating storage plate 15 is used to rotate and transport the items, and the items can be rotated in sequence to align with the second pushing plate 18 and pushed out. Specifically: See also Figure 2-Figure 3 In order to realize the storage of items transported by the drone, planetary ball screws 11 are symmetrically arranged in pairs inside the storage platform 12. Four sets of planetary ball screws 11 respectively support the edge corners of the plate frame of the storage top cover 4. When the drone carrying items flies to the top of the storage top cover 4 of the cabinet 3, after the drone places the items on the storage top cover 4, the planetary ball screws 11 are used to lift and brake to move the storage top cover 4 downward, so that the items on the storage top cover 4 are stored in the storage platform 12 for orderly classification and storage.

[0028] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 4-Figure 5 In order to realize the storage of items transported by the drone, a first crank arm assembly is provided above the support platform 8 to support the first pushing plate 13 and push it along the storage platform 12, wherein the first crank arm assembly includes a first driven gear 19, which is provided in two groups.

A first driving motor 21 for controlling the operation of the first driving gear 20 is provided on the support platform 8. The first driving motor 21 is controlled to work and drive the first driving gear 20 to rotate. The meshing transmission between the first driving gear 20 and the first driven gear 19 drives the first crank arm 14 to rotate, converting the rotational thrust into horizontal thrust, pushing the items on the storage top cover 4 in the storage platform 12 to the rotating storage tray 15, and storing them between adjacent storage partitions 16.

[0029] It should be noted that an infrared transmitter 9 is provided on the support platform 8 away from the storage platform 12, and a receiver 10 is provided on the cabinet 3 away from the storage platform 12. The laser path between the infrared transmitter 9 and the receiver 10 passes through the storage platform 12. By utilizing the infrared laser ranging characteristics of the infrared transmitter 9 and the receiver 10, the orientation of the object is detected by laser to detect the change in storage orientation of the object.

[0030] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 6-Figure 7 In order to realize the classified storage of items transported by drones, a rotary drive assembly for driving the rotary storage plate 15 to rotate is provided under the support platform 8, wherein the rotary drive assembly includes a transmission gear plate 25 provided under the rotary storage plate 15, two sets of third driven gears 26 meshing with the transmission gear plate 25, and a third driving gear 27 meshing with one set of the third driven gears 26.

The second driving motor 24 is controlled to drive the second driving gear 23 to rotate, and the meshing transmission between the second driving gear 23 and the second driven gear 22 is used to drive the second crank arm 17 to rotate, thereby converting the rotational thrust into horizontal thrust, and pushing the items between the storage partitions 16 out.

[0032] In addition, support rollers 29 are provided below the rotating storage tray 15. The support rollers 29 are arranged in two groups, inner and outer, along the circumference of the rotating storage tray 15. Each group is provided with multiple groups along the circumference of the rotating storage tray 15. While the rotating storage tray 15 rotates, the support rollers 29 are provided below it, and the inner and outer supports of the support rollers 29 are utilized to play a roller support role, so that the rotation drive of the rotating storage tray 15 is smoother.

[0033] In addition, the back plates of the first pushing plate 13 and the second pushing plate 18 are both provided with shock-absorbing rubber pads. By providing shock-absorbing rubber pads on the back plates of the first pushing plate 13 and the second pushing plate 18, the two sets of crank arm assemblies push the objects in an elastic propulsion state when pushing the first pushing plate 13 and the second pushing plate 18, thereby avoiding impact damage caused by hard pushing.

[0034] See also Figures 8-10 In order to realize the retrieval of stored items, a retrieval port 5 is provided on one side of the cabinet body 3, and an electric push rod 30 is provided inside the retrieval port 5.
