[0002] Service robots are a young member of the robot family and there is no strict definition yet. Different countries have different understandings of service robots. They can be divided into professional service robots and personal / family service robots. Service robots have a wide range of applications and are mainly engaged in maintenance, repair, transportation, cleaning, security, rescue, and monitoring. After several years of collection and collation, the International Federation of Robotics has given a preliminary definition of service robots: service robots are semi-autonomous or fully autonomous robots that can complete service work that is beneficial to human health, but do not include equipment engaged in production.

[0003] Most of the service robots currently used in unmanned stores can only play a guiding role. It is necessary to set up a separate self-service cash register in the unmanned store, which takes up additional space in the store and cannot place more shelves. Moreover, the service robot needs to be manually connected to the charging pile when charging, which is not convenient for the use of the service robot. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, an unmanned store service robot includes a base 2 and a charging base 9, a support column 1 is fixed to the top of the base 2 by bolts, an integrated box 17 is fixed to the top of the support column 1 by bolts, a charging contact 12 is fixed to one side of the base 2 by bolts, a charging base plate 13 is fixed to one side of the charging base 9 at a height corresponding to the charging contact 12, a touch screen 6 is fixed to one side of the inclined surface of the integrated box 17 by bolts, a 3D structured light sensor 7 and a barcode scanner 8 are fixed above the touch screen 6 by buckles, and the 3D structured light sensor 7 is convenient for improving the security of facial payment.

[0025] A radar detector 4 is arranged at the center around the base 2. The radar detector 4 is convenient for the service robot to detect the surrounding environment and prevent the service robot from tipping over due to collision with external objects. An infrared counter-radiation sensor 14 is fixed to one side of the charging contact 12 and the charging base 13 by bolts. The infrared counter-radiation sensor 14 fixed on one side of the charging base 13 is aligned with the infrared counter-radiation sensor 14 fixed on one side of the base 2. When the service robot performs back-rush, the infrared counter-radiation sensor 14 arranged at the bottom of the service robot and the infrared counter-radiation sensor 14 arranged on one side of the charging base 9 are of the same model, and the processor 15 receives a signal corresponding to the position of the service robot and the charging base 9.

[0026] A processor 15 is fixed to one side of the integrated box 17 by bolts, a microphone 11 is fixed to the side opposite to the processor 15 by bolts, a loudspeaker 10 is fixed to the side opposite to the touch screen 6 by bolts, a positioning module 18 is fixed to one side of the loudspeaker 10 by bolts, holes are punched through one side of the integrated box 17 close to the loudspeaker 10 and the microphone 11, and a panoramic camera 5 is fixed to the top of the integrated box 17 by bolts to facilitate monitoring of the environment.

[0027] A battery 16 is fixed to one side wall of the support column 1 by bolts, and a driving wheel 3 is fixed to the bottom of the base 2 by bolts.

[0028] The working principle of the unmanned store service robot mentioned in the utility model is as follows: when the device is used, the service robot is placed in the unmanned store, and the charging base 9 is connected to the power supply. When there are customers in the store, the service robot guides the customers through the speaker 10 and the touch screen 6. When the customer asks a question, the microphone 11 recognizes the voice information and guides the customer. When the customer needs to check out, the product barcode is aligned with the scanner 8 to recognize the product barcode. When paying, the payment level face payment can be made through the 3D structured light sensor 7, or the payment code can be recognized by the scanner 8 to make payment, which is conducive to saving the area of ​​the unmanned store. When there are no customers for a long time and it is dormant at night, the processor 15 controls the service robot to go to the charging base 9, and contacts the charging bottom plate 13 through the charging contacts 12, so that the charging base 9 charges the battery 16. When the panoramic camera 5 recognizes that a customer has entered, the processor 15 controls the service robot to go there for guidance, which is conducive to reducing manual operation and improving the practicality of the product.
