[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings, but the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, not all. Based on the embodiments in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present utility model are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiment:

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4As shown, an intelligent food delivery robot comprises a robot body 1, a selection panel 2 is provided on the front of the robot body 1, grippers 3 are installed at the connection ends on both sides of the robot body 1, a food delivery box 4 is provided between the two grippers 3, and the two sides of the food delivery box 4 are against the grippers 3. The mobile wheels at the bottom of the robot body 1 can complete the mobile food delivery. The intelligent food delivery robot is usually equipped with various sensors, such as infrared sensors, laser radars, etc., so as to detect the surrounding environment and avoid collisions or dangerous situations. When delivering food, the food to be delivered and the address of the food need to be selected through the selection panel 2 of the robot body 1. The robot system plans the route by itself and places the food in the food delivery box 4 before proceeding. For meal delivery, a refrigeration chamber 14 and a heating chamber 15 are provided inside the meal delivery box 4, and a partition plate 5 is connected inside the meal delivery box 4, and the partition plate 5 is fitted with the inner wall of the meal delivery box 4. Since the interior of the meal delivery box 4 is divided into a refrigeration chamber 14 and a heating chamber 15, the food is placed in the required cavity according to the food requirements, and the refrigeration chamber 14 and the heating chamber 15 are separated by the partition plate 5. In hot weather or when the meal delivery distance is long, the freshness and safety of the food are affected in an effective way. Since the meal delivery time may be too long, the food is heated or refrigerated before delivery to prevent the food from cooling or melting when it is delivered, and effectively maintain the taste and flavor of the food after delivery.

[0029] Embodiment 2:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a refrigeration sheet 6 and a heating resistor 7 are installed inside the meal delivery box 4, respectively. The refrigeration sheet 6 and the heating resistor 7 are connected to the heating box and the partition plate 5, respectively. The refrigeration chamber 14 is located on one side of the partition plate 5, and the heating chamber 15 is located on the other side of the partition plate 5. The refrigeration sheet 6 and the heating resistor 7 serve as refrigeration and heating components of the meal delivery chamber, respectively. The refrigeration sheet 6 and the heating resistor 7 are installed on the inner wall of the meal delivery box 4 and both sides of the partition plate 5. Therefore, when the partition plate 5 is adjusted in position, the space of the refrigeration chamber 14 and the heating chamber 15 can be adjusted to meet the usage requirements in different situations.

[0031] The moving end of the partition plate 5 is located in the slide groove of the meal delivery box 4, and a screw rod 8 is installed in the slide groove of the meal delivery box 4. The moving end of the partition plate 5 is sleeved on the surface of the screw rod 8, and one end of the screw rod 8 is connected to a motor 9. The moving end of the partition plate 5 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw rod 8. The moving end of the partition plate 5 and the slide groove of the meal delivery box 4 are both rectangular. The moving end of the partition plate 5 is located in the slide groove of the meal delivery box 4, and the partition plate 5 can be limited by the slide groove. The moving end is also sleeved on the surface of the screw rod 8 in the slide groove. When the rotating end of the motor 9 drives the screw rod 8 to rotate, the partition plate 5 can be completed. Move linearly on the surface of the screw rod 8, thereby quickly adjusting the space of the refrigeration chamber 14 or the heating chamber 15, and the robot body 1 and the electronic devices inside the meal delivery box 4 can be directly operated through the selection panel 2.

[0032] Embodiment three:

[0033] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a sliding door 10 is provided on the front of the meal delivery box 4, and the opening on the front of the meal delivery box 4 is used to place and take out food. The opening on the front of the meal delivery box 4 can be closed or opened through the sliding door 10. Since the sliding door 10 is sleeved on the surface of the meal delivery box 4, the moving part of the sliding door 10 is connected to the movable groove inside the meal delivery box 4, which can play a limiting role in pushing and pulling. Connectors 13 are bolted on both sides of the sliding door 10, and limiting grooves 12 are provided on the sides of the grippers 3. The connectors 13 and the limiting grooves 12 cooperate with each other. The meal delivery box 4 is located between the grippers 3 of the robot body 1. The size and shape of the meal delivery box 4 can be changed according to needs. A meal delivery box 4 of the required size is selected, and the connectors 13 and the limiting grooves 12 on both sides of the meal delivery box 4 are installed. The grippers 3 of the robot body 1 can be controlled by pneumatic means such as a cylinder, so that the distance between the two grippers 3 can be adjusted to meet the installation of the meal delivery box 4.

[0034] Embodiment 4:

[0035] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a magnet 11 is installed on the bottom surface of the sliding door 10, and the magnet 11 is parallel to the bottom surface of the meal delivery box 4. The magnet 11 and the bottom surface of the meal delivery box 4 are magnetically attracted to each other. Under normal circumstances, when the sliding door 10 closes the opening of the meal delivery box 4, the magnet 11 on the bottom surface of the sliding door 10 is magnetically aligned with the bottom surface of the meal delivery box 4 to limit the position, so as to prevent the opening of the meal delivery box 4 from being exposed to the outside when the meal is delivered. At the same time, the magnet 11 can be an electromagnet 11. When the meal is not delivered to the designated position, the electromagnet 11 is energized, and other personnel cannot complete the meal collection. After the meal is delivered, the magnet 11 is powered off, and the sliding door 10 falls down by itself to expose the opening. The personnel take out the delivered food and push the sliding door 10 up to close it to eat.

[0036] Embodiment five:

[0037] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, since a series of components such as grippers 3 and a food delivery box 4 can be installed on both sides of the robot, the food delivery operation can be performed on both sides of the food delivery robot at the same time, which greatly improves the efficiency of food delivery. The structures on both sides of the robot are also the same, and it can be selected whether to install the food delivery box 4 on the back as required.

[0038] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them.
