[0025] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, the utility model provides a smart container for robot delivery, in one embodiment, including

[0027] A box body 1 is provided with a first cavity having an opening on one side thereof, and a cabinet door 11 is connected to the opening of the first cavity; a first control board and a battery pack are installed in the first cavity; an MCU module and a voltage detection unit connected between the MCU module and the battery pack are provided on the first control board;

[0028] A display screen 12 is installed on the top of the box body 1; a second control board connected to the display screen 12 and the MCU module is also installed in the first cavity; a door lock 2 is also installed on the cabinet door 11, and the door lock 2 is connected to the second control board;

[0029] A weight detection sensor 13 connected to the MCU module is also installed on the inner side of the bottom of the box body 1, and the MCU module is also connected to the first communication module.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first control board is a 32-bit ARM core low-power microcontroller, and the first communication module is a WIFI / Bluetooth dual-band module; there are four cabinet doors 11, each cabinet door 11 is connected to the box body 1 through two sets of doors, and the box body 1 is a frame structure composed of multiple structural support frames; the weight detection sensor 13 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the bottom of the box body 1, which can automatically weigh medicines and goods, so as to facilitate the tracing of weight information during the process of medical delivery.

[0031] At the same time, the inner walls on both sides of the first cavity are also installed with disinfection lamps 14 connected to the MCU module. The disinfection lamp 14 is connected to the IO pin of the MCU module. Through the disinfection lamp 14, the dirt can be disinfected to reduce the risk of infection for medical staff; in addition, the top of the box body 1 is provided with a first installation groove connected to the first cavity, and the first installation groove is also integrally connected with a first fixed support 15; the display screen 12 is installed in the first fixed support 15; one side of the display screen 12 is arranged tilted downward. The display screen 12 is an embedded sunken design, with a touch display screen 12 on the surface, and a second control board is connected inside to drive the upper computer interface display.

[0032] In one embodiment, the display screen 12 is equipped with an RFID identification unit and a fingerprint identification unit connected to the second control board; the first cavity is also equipped with a LORA communication module connected to the MCU module; the box 1 is also equipped with a network interface and an audio-visual reminder unit connected to the MCU module. The network interface uses a W5500 chip, one end of which is connected to the RJ45 network interface and the other end is connected to the SPI3 pin of the MCU module; one end of the voltage detection unit is connected to the battery pack and the other end is connected to the ADC detection pin of the MCU module.

[0033] In one embodiment, a positive charging spring and a negative charging spring are also installed at the bottom of the box 1. The charging device of the robot can be moved under the intelligent medical box 1, and the precise positioning function of the robot is used to make the charging contacts of the robot contact with the charging spring of the box 1 for charging. At the same time, a support column 16 is connected to each of the four corners of the bottom of the box 1, and a caster 17 is installed at the bottom of each support column 16. The casters 17 are provided to facilitate the staff to move the container.

[0034] In addition, in one embodiment, the door lock 2 includes a lock seat 21 installed on the inner side of the cabinet door 11, a slider 22 arranged in the lock seat 21 for sliding in the horizontal direction, an electric push rod connected to the slider 22 and used to drive the slider 22 to translate, and a limit seat 23 fixedly installed on the inner side of the cabinet door 11 and arranged on one side of the lock seat 21; a through hole is provided at the top of the limit seat 23 and extends to the bottom thereof, and a locking rod 24 is movably arranged in the through hole along the vertical direction; the top of the locking rod 24 passes through the top of the through hole and is arranged outwardly, and a locking pin 25 is connected to the top of the locking rod 24 (a locking hole is provided at the inner wall of the first cavity corresponding to the locking pin 25); the bottom of the locking rod 24 passes through the bottom of the through hole, and the bottom of the locking rod 24 is also connected to a driving connection block 26; the driving connection block 26 is also inclined downward to provide a guide inclined surface at one end thereof close to the slider 22, and one end of the slider 22 passes through the lock seat 21 and contacts the guide inclined surface.

[0035] When it is necessary to lock the cabinet door 11, the electric push rod can drive the slider 22 to move in the direction of the driving connecting block 26, and then drive the locking rod 24 to rise through the guiding inclined surface; during the rising process of the locking rod 24, the locking pin 25 is inserted into the corresponding lock hole, thereby locking the cabinet door 11. When it is necessary to open the cabinet door 11, the electric push rod can drive the slider 22 to reset, that is, to move in the direction away from the driving connecting block 26. At this time, the lifting force on the locking rod 24 will be gradually cancelled, and the locking rod 24 will move downward under the action of gravity, driving the locking pin 25 to leave the lock hole, thereby completing the unlocking action.

[0036] To ensure the stability of the translation of the slider 22, in this embodiment, a guide slide hole is opened on one side of the slider 22 along its length direction, and a guide column 27 inserted in the guide slide hole is installed on the lock seat 21; at the same time, a fixing plate 28 is also fixedly connected to the lock seat 21, and one end of the lower part of the locking rod 24 abuts against the fixing plate 28, so that the locking rod 24 can be limited and guided during the process of the electric push rod driving it to rise; in addition, a protrusion block 29 is also provided on the upper part of the locking rod 24 above the through hole to prevent the locking rod 24 from falling off from the through hole.

[0037] When working, medical staff can first log in to the system after authorization through RFID identification unit, fingerprint identification unit, etc. The second control panel controls the door lock 2 to open the cabinet door 11 through the electric push rod according to the user information. Medical staff can then place medicines for delivery or waste recovery in the box. At this time, the weight detection sensor 13 starts working and continuously records the current weight information. When the medicines and waste are placed, the cabinet door 11 will automatically close, and all cargo weight information will be uploaded to the background through the communication module. When the smart medical box is in a low-power state, the robot side will inform the background of the need for charging through wireless transmission. The background automatically assigns the corresponding robot to the bottom of the smart medical box 1 for charging according to the robot's task situation.

[0038] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
