Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of express delivery lockers, specifically relating to an intelligent express delivery locker based on low-altitude logistics. Background Technology

[0002] The most common delivery method currently used in the market relies on couriers manually placing packages one by one into the lockers. This method is frequently used in high-density delivery scenarios such as residential communities and office buildings. Couriers need to shuttle between multiple buildings and locker locations, manually sorting a large number of packages in their assigned area, then carrying them one by one to the corresponding locker, manually opening the locker door, scanning the code, and closing the door to complete the delivery.

[0003] This delivery process is notoriously cumbersome and time-consuming, heavily reliant on repetitive manual operations. On one hand, as the number of packages increases and delivery times become more concentrated, the time required for manual sorting and delivery increases linearly, easily leading to congestion and delays. On the other hand, manual delivery is prone to various errors, such as delivering to the wrong locker, missing packages, or performing duplicate operations. This not only affects the overall accuracy of delivery but also reduces user satisfaction.

[0004] Furthermore, in the manual delivery model, couriers can only carry a limited number of packages at a time, requiring them to make multiple trips to move packages. This model limits the efficiency of a courier's single operation. Coupled with the courier's repeated movement between buildings to move packages, not only is the delivery radius limited, but the overall delivery efficiency is also greatly reduced, resulting in high labor and time costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent parcel locker based on low-altitude logistics, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides an intelligent parcel locker based on low-altitude logistics, comprising an outer shell, a parcel grabbing mechanism, and a drone delivery mechanism. The parcel locker body is installed inside the outer shell, and a delivery channel is installed between the outer shell and the parcel locker body. A first delivery mechanism matching the delivery channel is fixedly connected to the upper end of the parcel locker body. A first opening matching the first delivery mechanism is opened on one side of the delivery channel. The parcel grabbing mechanism is installed on the parcel locker body and is used to grab parcels from the first delivery mechanism and place them into the parcel locker body. The drone delivery mechanism includes a drone body, and a parcel storage box is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drone body. A placement opening is opened at the top of the parcel storage box, and an opening is opened at the lower end of the placement opening. An intercepting arm matching the opening is opened at the lower end of the parcel storage box. The intercepting arm is rotatably connected to the lower end of the parcel storage box, and a gear is fixedly connected to the end of the intercepting arm near the rotation axis. A rack matching the gear is slidably connected to the parcel storage box, and the gear and rack mesh with each other.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a T-shaped strip is fixedly connected to the end of the rack away from the gear, and a T-shaped groove matching the rack is provided on the express storage box, and the rack slides vertically through the cooperation of the T-shaped strip and the T-shaped groove.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a second spring is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the rack and the T-slot, and the lower end of the rack extends out of the express storage box.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of crossbars are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the express storage box, a support foot is provided through the crossbar, and a first spring is fixedly connected between the upper end face of the crossbar and the support foot.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the express delivery grabbing mechanism includes a pair of slide rails, the pair of slide rails are arranged on both sides of the express delivery cabinet body, an electric slider is slidably connected to the express delivery cabinet body, a connecting arm is fixedly connected to the electric slider, a hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the connecting arm, a guide column is fixedly connected between the two hydraulic cylinders, and a threaded rod is rotatably connected between the two hydraulic cylinders.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the express delivery gripping mechanism further includes a mounting base, one end of which is penetrated by a guide post and a hydraulic cylinder, the guide post and the mounting base are threaded together, and a gripping arm is fixedly connected to the mounting base.

[0013] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a motor matching a threaded rod is fixedly connected to one side of the hydraulic cylinder, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a control panel is fixedly connected to one side of the outer casing, and the item retrieval action is completed by scanning a code through the control panel.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the lower end of the outer casing is provided with an express delivery outlet, and a second conveying mechanism matching the express delivery outlet is fixedly connected to the outer casing.

[0016] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the front of the outer casing is provided with a viewing window that matches the main body of the express delivery locker.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] Through the coordinated operation of drone delivery mechanism, express delivery grabbing mechanism and first delivery mechanism, the entire process of couriers shuttling between buildings, manually sorting packages, and manually opening and placing them in lockers is replaced. Couriers do not need to carry packages back and forth multiple times, which greatly simplifies the delivery process and shortens delivery time. In the face of a large number of packages delivered in a concentrated manner, the automated operation avoids delivery congestion and timeouts, effectively solving the problem that the efficiency of manual delivery drops significantly as the number of packages increases.

[0019] It automates the entire process of package delivery, pickup, and storage without human intervention, avoids subjective errors in human operation, significantly improves delivery accuracy, avoids user complaints caused by human error, and improves user experience satisfaction.

[0020] By using drone delivery systems to overcome the spatial limitations of ground delivery, packages can be accurately delivered directly from the delivery point to the top of the parcel locker, eliminating the need for couriers to travel back and forth and significantly expanding the last-mile delivery radius. At the same time, the automated delivery mode does not require a large number of couriers, replacing the high-intensity labor of manual sorting, handling, and locker placement, reducing labor input and time costs. It also solves the problem of limited package capacity and operational efficiency for couriers in the manual delivery mode, greatly improving the overall efficiency of last-mile delivery and reducing logistics and distribution costs.

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an intelligent parcel locker based on low-altitude logistics in one embodiment of the present invention includes an outer shell 1, inside which a parcel locker body 2 is installed. The outer shell 1 provides all-round protection for the parcel locker body 2, resisting external interference such as dust, rain, and external impacts. A viewing window 102 matching the parcel locker body 2 is provided on the front of the outer shell 1. Through the viewing window 102, staff can easily and directly observe the parcel storage situation inside the parcel locker body 2, allowing for timely detection and handling of abnormalities without disassembling the outer shell 1, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0032] like Figures 1-2As shown, the main body 2 of the express cabinet has multiple storage cavities 201. The storage cavities 201 enable the orderly storage of express packages, avoiding messy accumulation and mutual squeezing damage. The main body 2 of the express cabinet is also rotatably connected to a sealing cover 3 that matches the storage cavity 201. The main function of the sealing cover 3 is to seal the storage cavity 201 after the operation of storing the express package is completed, thus protecting the express package.

[0033] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a control panel 18 matching the main body 2 of the express cabinet is fixedly connected to one side of the outer shell 1. The control panel 18 integrates a barcode scanning module, a display module, and a control module. Its function is to: when the user picks up the package, the barcode scanning module completes the identity verification to confirm the ownership of the package, triggers the pick-up command, and controls the sealing cover 3 to open automatically.

[0034] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a conveying channel 4 is installed between the outer shell 1 and the main body 2 of the express cabinet. A first conveying mechanism 5 matching the conveying channel 4 is installed on the top of the main body 2. A first opening 401 matching the first conveying mechanism 5 is opened on one side of the conveying channel 4. With the cooperation of the first conveying mechanism 5, the express package moves away from the conveying channel 4 through the first opening 401 and is temporarily stored on the first conveying mechanism 5. An express grabbing mechanism 6 is installed on the main body 2. The express grabbing mechanism 6 is used to automatically grab, transport, and place the express package from the first conveying mechanism 5 to the storage cavity 201 of the main body 2, replacing the manual sorting and cabinet placement steps, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of delivery. An express outlet 101 is opened on one side of the outer shell 1. A second conveying mechanism 17 matching the express outlet 101 is installed on the outer shell 1. After the express grabbing mechanism 6 takes the express package out of the storage cavity 201 of the opened sealing cover 3, the express grabbing mechanism 6 places the express package on the second conveying mechanism 17, which then conveys the express package out of the outer shell 1 for the user to pick up directly.

[0035] In addition, when users need to store packages, they can perform the storage operation through the barcode scanning module. After the operation is completed, the package is placed on the second conveying mechanism 17, which transports the package to the inside of the outer shell 1. The package grabbing mechanism 6 then transports the package to the corresponding storage cavity 201 for storage, waiting for the courier to pick it up.

[0036] like Figures 1-4As shown, the express delivery gripping mechanism 6 specifically includes a pair of slide rails 7, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body 2 of the express delivery cabinet. An electric slider 8 is slidably connected to the slide rails 7, and the slide rails 7 are used to limit the vertical movement of the electric slider 8. A connecting arm 9 is fixedly connected to the electric slider 8, and a connecting plate 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting arm 9. A pair of guide posts 12 are fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 10, and a threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected between them. The threaded rod 13 is located between the pair of guide posts 12. A motor 14 that matches the threaded rod 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 10, and the output end of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 13.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the express delivery gripping mechanism 6 also includes a mounting base 15, a guide post 12 and a threaded rod 13 passing through the mounting base 15. The threaded rod 13 and the mounting base 15 are threaded together. The guide post 12 and the threaded rod 13 are used to control the horizontal movement of the mounting base 15. A gripping arm 16 is mounted on the mounting base 15. The gripping arm 16 is used to grip the express delivery on the first conveying mechanism 5 and place the express delivery into the corresponding storage cavity 201.

[0038] Specifically, by controlling the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the motor 14, the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the threaded rod 13 are adjusted, thereby controlling the moving direction and speed of the mounting base 15, and in turn controlling the horizontal moving position of the gripping arm 16, so that the gripping arm 16 can put the express delivery into the corresponding storage cavity 201 for easy storage of the express delivery.

[0039] Since the gripping arm 16 is located on the upper surface of the mounting base 15, it is not convenient for the gripping arm 16 to pick up the express delivery on the second conveying mechanism 17. Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, a hydraulic cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 9 without a motor 14. A guide ring 1101 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 11. A connecting post 1001 matching the guide ring 1101 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 10. When the hydraulic cylinder 11 makes a linear reciprocating motion of pushing forward or pulling backward, the guide ring 1101 fixedly connected to the hydraulic cylinder 11 will move synchronously. The connecting post 1001 in the guide ring 1101 can slide along the long direction of the guide ring 1101 to adapt to the linear displacement of the cylinder. Under the action of the pushing or pulling force of the groove wall of the guide ring 1101, it will generate angular displacement around the rotation center of the connecting plate 10, and finally drive the connecting plate 10 to achieve forward and reverse rotation corresponding to the linear motion direction of the hydraulic cylinder 11.

[0040] Therefore, the cooperation of the hydraulic cylinder 11, guide ring 1101, and connecting column 1001 allows the connecting plate 10 to rotate. When the gripping arm 16 needs to grab the package on the second conveying mechanism 17, the hydraulic cylinder 11 is activated, causing the mounting base 15 to reverse and the gripping arm 16 to face downwards to pick up the package from the second conveying mechanism 17. After the package is picked up and stored, the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder 11 retracts, allowing the mounting base 15 to return to its original position.

[0041] In the above-described intelligent parcel locker, when a user retrieves a parcel, they only need to scan a code for verification. The parcel is then placed on the second conveyor mechanism 17 by the parcel grabbing mechanism 6, which transports the parcel. This is especially convenient for shorter users, who only need to bend down to pick up their parcels. When storing a parcel, the user scans a code to enter their information, places the parcel on the second conveyor mechanism 17, and the parcel is then stored via the parcel grabbing mechanism 6. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0042] As a further improvement to this embodiment, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the smart parcel locker based on low-altitude logistics includes a drone delivery mechanism 19, which includes a drone body 20. A parcel storage box 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drone body 20. The parcel storage box 21 has a placement opening 22 on the side near the drone delivery mechanism 19, through which parcels can be placed into the parcel storage box 21.

[0043] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the lower end of the express storage box 21 has a storage slot 2101. An intercepting arm 26 that matches the storage slot 2101 is rotatably connected to the express storage box 21. A gear 27 is fixedly connected to the intercepting arm 26. A rack 28 is slidably connected to the express storage box 21 in the vertical direction. The rack 28 and the gear 27 mesh with each other, and the lower end face of the rack 28 protrudes from the lower end face of the express storage box 21.

[0044] In actual use, when the drone body 20 is not in takeoff mode, a riser plate needs to be placed under the package storage box 21. This riser plate does not contact the rack 28. In this state, the interceptor arm 26 is horizontal. When the user places a package into the package storage box 21 through the placement port 22, the package is held in place by the interceptor arm 26, preventing it from detaching. When the drone body 20 flies to the conveyor channel 4, the rack 28 contacts the upper surface of the outer shell 1. The rack 28 moves upward, forcing the interceptor arm 26 to rotate clockwise until it is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. At this point, the package enters the conveyor channel 4 under the influence of gravity, and is then conveyed out of the conveyor channel 4 by the first conveyor mechanism 5.

[0045] It is worth noting that when placing the first package, attention should be paid to the size of the package to ensure it is compatible with the interceptor arm 26.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, a T-shaped strip 2801 is fixedly connected to the rack 28, and a T-shaped groove 2102 matching the T-shaped strip 2801 is provided on the express storage box 21. The rack 28 slides vertically through the cooperation of the T-shaped strip 2801 and the T-shaped groove 2102. A second spring 29 is fixedly connected between the rack 28 and the inner bottom wall of the T-shaped groove 2102, and the second spring 29 is used to reset the rack 28.

[0047] The vertical sliding range of the rack 28 is as follows: when the intercepting arm 26 is horizontal to the horizontal plane, the rack 28 cannot continue to slide downwards; when the lower end face of the rack 28 is horizontal to the lower end face of the express storage box 21, the intercepting arm 26 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0048] In simple terms, the drone body 20 carries a package storage box 21 containing the package and flies along a preset navigation route to above the outer shell 1. The drone body 20 adjusts its attitude to align the package storage box 21 with the conveying channel 4. The drone body 20 descends, causing the lower end of the package storage box 21 to contact the upper end of the outer shell 1. During this process, the drive rack 28 slides upward, driving the meshing gears 27 to rotate, which in turn controls the intercepting arm 26 to rotate around the rotation axis, opening the lower opening of the package storage box 21. The package falls onto the first conveying mechanism 5 under the action of gravity, completing the precise release of the package and connecting with the storage action of the gripping arm 16, thus replacing the step of manually shuttling and carrying packages.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, to reduce vibration during the landing of the drone body 20, crossbars 23 are fixedly connected to the four outer walls of the package storage box 21. The crossbars 23 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the package storage box 21, and support legs 24 are installed through the crossbars 23. A first spring 25 is fixedly connected between the support legs 24 and the upper end face of the crossbars 23. When the drone body 20 lands, the support legs 24 first contact the outer shell 1 and slide upward along the crossbars 23, compressing the first spring 25. The first spring 25 absorbs the impact force of the drone landing through elastic deformation, converting the impact force into elastic potential energy, thereby reducing the impact force and preventing damage to the drone body 20, the package storage box 21 and the internal packages due to violent collision, while ensuring the stability of the drone during landing.

[0050] In this embodiment, the workflow of the intelligent parcel locker based on low-altitude logistics is as follows:

[0051] In the non-takeoff state, a heightening plate is placed under the package storage box 21 to ensure that the placement surface does not contact the rack 28. At this time, the interceptor arm 26 is horizontal. The staff puts the package into the package storage box 21 through the placement opening 22 on the package storage box 21. The interceptor arm 26 limits the package to prevent it from falling out. After the package is placed, the drone body 20 carries the package storage box 21 containing the package and flies along the preset navigation route to above the outer shell 1. It precisely adjusts its attitude to align the package storage box 21 with the conveyor channel 4 and slowly descends. During the descent, the rack 28 first contacts the upper surface of the outer shell 1 and slides upward. Through the meshing transmission between the rack 28 and the gear 27, it drives the interceptor arm 26 to rotate clockwise until the interceptor arm 26 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The package falls onto the first conveyor mechanism 5 under the action of gravity, completing the package release. After the package is released, the drone body 20 flies back. During this process, the second spring 29 drives the rack 28 to reset downwards, and then the intercepting arm 26 is restored to a horizontal state through the gear 27, preparing for the next package storage.

[0052] After the package is released into the conveyor channel 4, it falls onto the first conveyor mechanism 5. The first conveyor mechanism 5 is activated, sending the package out through the first opening 401 on one side of the conveyor channel 4, exposing the package to the first conveyor mechanism 5, and placing the package within the grasping range of the package gripping mechanism 6. The package gripping mechanism 6 is activated, and the slide rail 7 limits the electric slider 8 to slide vertically. The electric slider 8 drives the connecting arm 9 to slide along the slide rail 7 to adjust the height of the gripping arm 16, aligning the gripping arm 16 with the package.

[0053] After the gripping arm 16 grabs the package, if the package can be placed into the locker by sliding the electric slider 8 downwards, the height of the gripping arm 16 can be adjusted directly by the electric slider 8. If the position of the gripping arm 16 needs to be adjusted left or right, the motor 14 needs to be started. The motor 14 rotates the threaded rod 13, which in turn moves the mounting base 15 left or right, thereby adjusting the position of the gripping arm 16 so that the package can be placed into the locker. If flipping the gripping arm 16 can place the package into the locker more quickly, the hydraulic cylinder 11 can be activated, and the guide ring 1101 and the connecting column 1001 work together to flip the gripping arm 16.

[0054] After arriving at the parcel locker, the user scans a QR code on the control panel 18 with their mobile phone to complete identity verification. The control module of the control panel 18 then triggers a retrieval command, simultaneously controlling the automatic opening of the sealing cover 3 corresponding to the storage cavity 201 where the target parcel is located. The grabbing arm 16 grabs the parcel from the storage cavity 201, moves it above the second conveying mechanism 17, and releases it, placing the parcel on the second conveying mechanism 17. The control panel 18 then activates the second conveying mechanism 17, transporting the parcel from the parcel outlet 101 on one side of the outer shell 1 to the outside of the outer shell 1, where the user can easily retrieve it by bending down.

[0055] When a user needs to store a package, they scan a QR code on the control panel 18 with their mobile phone to initiate the storage operation and enter the storage information. The control panel 18 then activates the second conveyor mechanism 17, simultaneously opening the sealing cover 3 corresponding to an empty storage cavity 201. The user places the package on the second conveyor mechanism 17, which then activates, transporting the package from the package outlet 101 into the outer casing 1, within the grasping range of the package gripping mechanism 6, and then stops. Subsequently, the gripping arm 16 is positioned downwards, clamping the package. The package gripping mechanism 6 then moves the gripping arm 16 above the empty storage cavity 201, releases the gripping arm 16, and places the package into the storage cavity 201. The sealing cover 3 automatically closes to protect the package, and the control panel 18 displays that the storage is complete. The stored package awaits manual retrieval by the courier, completing the entire storage process.

[0056] In this embodiment, the beneficial effects of intelligent parcel lockers based on low-altitude logistics include at least the following:

[0057] To address the existing problem of inconvenient package pickup, the second conveying mechanism 17 works in conjunction with the express delivery grabbing mechanism 6. When picking up the package, users only need to scan the code for verification. There is no need to manually open the box or search for the package. The package is transported to the express delivery exit 101 by the second conveying mechanism 17. Users who are not tall only need to bend down to pick it up, thus solving the pain point of inconvenience for users with height limitations when picking up packages.

[0058] When storing packages, users can simply scan the code to enter their information and place the package on the second conveyor mechanism 17 to complete the subsequent operations. No manual sorting or cabinet placement is required, making the operation simple and efficient.

[0059] This system automates the entire process from drone delivery and parcel pickup into lockers to user pickup and storage, eliminating the need for couriers to manually deliver and sort packages, and for users to manually open and handle them, significantly reducing human intervention. Drone delivery overcomes the limitations of ground delivery radius, eliminating the need for multiple round trips. The coordinated operation of the first delivery mechanism 5 and the parcel pickup mechanism 6 improves the efficiency of parcel transfer and locker placement, making it particularly suitable for high-density pickup and delivery scenarios such as residential communities and office buildings. It not only improves last-mile delivery efficiency but also reduces labor and time costs, solving the pain points of low efficiency and high labor intensity of existing manual delivery methods.
