Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of warehousing and logistics, and in particular to a delivery box, a delivery vehicle body and a delivery vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As online shopping becomes more and more popular, users have higher and higher requirements for the delivery timeliness of goods and whether door-to-door delivery is available. Taking door-to-door delivery as an example, most of the time, couriers load each express onto the courier at the delivery station according to the package information in the delivery area (for example, one or more communities they are responsible for) distributed by the delivery scheduling system, and then drive the courier to the delivery area and deliver the goods to the door one by one. During the delivery period, the courier needs to stay in the delivery area and wait for manual delivery to be completed, which requires a long waiting time for door-to-door delivery. The delivery efficiency depends on the manual proficiency of the delivery area and the amount of goods.

[0003] If some communities do not support express delivery vehicles, the express will generally be stored at designated stations and the recipient will be told to pick it up by themselves. This method will reduce the customer experience and cannot meet the needs of some users for door-to-door delivery. Alternatively, the courier can carry the goods and deliver them to the door one by one, but in this case the courier can only carry a limited amount of goods at one time, and it takes a lot of time to travel back and forth between the express truck to pick up the goods and the location where the goods are to be delivered to the door, so the corresponding goods delivery efficiency is low.

The actual size and specifications of the products manufactured according to the contents disclosed in the present disclosure should be adjusted according to the needs of production, the characteristics of the product itself, and the contents disclosed in the present disclosure as follows, which is hereby stated.

[0036] A first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a delivery vehicle.

[0037] Figure 1The structural diagram of a delivery vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 2 The structural diagram of the delivery vehicle body provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 3A The three-dimensional structure diagram of the delivery box provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown; Figure 3B The front view of a delivery box provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In the right-hand coordinate system shown in the accompanying drawings of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the x direction corresponds to the front-to-back direction. From the perspective corresponding to the driving direction of the delivery vehicle body, the negative direction of the x axis is the front and the positive direction of the x axis is the rear; the y direction corresponds to the left-to-right direction. From the perspective corresponding to the driving direction of the delivery vehicle body, the negative direction of the y axis is the left and the positive direction of the y axis is the right; the z direction corresponds to the up-down direction. The positive direction of the z axis is the top and the negative direction of the z axis is the bottom.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, the delivery vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a delivery vehicle body 100 and a delivery cargo box 200, and the delivery cargo box 200 is detachably connected to the delivery vehicle body 100.

[0039] In the delivery vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a delivery vehicle body 100 can be assembled with one or more delivery boxes 200, and the multiple delivery boxes can be arranged in rows, columns, or stacked in order to utilize the space above the delivery vehicle body. Figure 1 In the example of one delivery vehicle body corresponding to one delivery box, it can be understood that when one delivery vehicle body corresponds to multiple delivery boxes, the sizes and spatial arrangement of the multiple delivery boxes can be adjusted accordingly to achieve the correspondence with the placement space above the delivery vehicle body. When multiple delivery boxes are spatially arranged in a stacked form, a corresponding detachable connection structure can also be provided between the delivery boxes on the bottom layer and the delivery boxes on the upper layer.

[0040] Reference Figure 3A and Figure 3BAs shown, the delivery box 200 includes: a box body 210 and a foldable support frame. The box body 210 is used to carry goods. The foldable support frame is arranged at the bottom of the box body 210, and is used to support the box body 210. The support frame includes: a fixed frame, a movable frame connected to the fixed frame and rotatable relative to the fixed frame, and a movable component arranged at the end of the movable frame. Wherein, based on the rotation of the movable frame, the support frame switches between an unfolded state and a folded state; in the unfolded state, the bottom of the movable component is located in the same plane, and the delivery box is in a movable state; in the folded state, the support frame is used to engage with the load-bearing surface of the delivery vehicle body.

[0041] In some embodiments, a door is installed in the box body 210 to facilitate loading and unloading operations.

[0042] The bottom of the box 210 may have a plurality of support frames, and the plurality of planes on which the movable frames among the plurality of support frames rotate relative to the fixed frame may be parallel. The special case of the parallelism is the relationship in which the plurality of planes overlap; it may also cover the situation in which some planes are parallel and some planes are perpendicular. The number of support frames is set accordingly according to the support strength requirements. In the case of a plurality of support frames, some support frames may support folding, and the support frames matched with the rear of the delivery vehicle body may not have a folding function. All forms that can be engaged with the bearing surface of the delivery side body are within the protection scope.

[0043] By providing a foldable support frame in the delivery box, the support frame can be switched between an expanded state and a folded state. In the expanded state, the bottom of the mobile component is located in the same plane, and the above-mentioned delivery box can be moved based on the mobile component; in the folded state, the support frame is engaged with the bearing surface of the delivery vehicle body; the delivery box is detachably assembled relative to the delivery vehicle body in the delivery vehicle, and one delivery vehicle body can be assembled with one or more delivery boxes. The delivery box in the folded state can be assembled with the delivery vehicle body and transported, and the delivery box in the expanded state can be detached from the delivery vehicle body to independently transport goods.

[0044] In some implementation scenarios, the courier can deliver goods to the door using the expanded delivery box. On the one hand, since the delivery box can carry more goods at one time, it can effectively solve the problem of wasting more round-trip time due to some delivery areas not supporting vehicles to enter, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of door-to-door delivery. On the other hand, since the delivery vehicle body and the delivery box are detachably connected, the delivery vehicle body can operate independently after the delivery box is disassembled. For example, when the courier delivers the goods to the door using the delivery box, there is no need to wait for the courier to deliver the goods simultaneously. The delivery vehicle body can drive to the next delivery area according to the schedule or return to the delivery station to continue transporting other loaded delivery boxes. This can save the waiting time for the transportation personnel to deliver the goods, improve the transportation efficiency of the delivery vehicle body and the delivery timeliness of more delivery boxes.

[0045] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, the support frame includes: a first support frame 220 and a second support frame 240 .

[0046] The first support frame 220 is disposed at the bottom front side of the box body 210; the first support frame 220 comprises: a first fixed frame 221, a first movable frame 222 and a first moving assembly 223; the first movable frame 222 is connected to the first fixed frame 221 via a first connecting shaft, and the first movable frame 222 is rotatable around the first connecting shaft. Figure 3A The dotted arrow in FIG. 1 shows the rotation direction of the first movable frame. Figure 3A As shown, the first connecting axis extends along the y direction, and the first movable frame 222 can rotate around the first connecting axis in the xz plane. In some embodiments, the number of the first support frames 220 can be one or more. In the case of multiple first support frames, the distribution positions at the bottom of the box body can be such that the positions of the multiple first support frames do not interfere with each other in the folded state.

[0047] Reference Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, the second support frame 240 is arranged at the bottom rear side of the box body 210; the second support frame 240 comprises: a second fixed frame 241, a second movable frame 242 and a second movable assembly 243; the second movable frame 242 is connected to the second fixed frame 241 via a second connecting shaft, and the second movable frame 242 is rotatable around the second connecting shaft; the second connecting shaft is perpendicular to the first connecting shaft, Figure 3A The dotted arrow in FIG. 1 shows the rotation direction of the second movable frame. Figure 3A As shown, the second connecting axis extends along the x direction, and the second movable frame 242 can rotate around the second connecting axis in the yz plane. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A As shown, the number of the second support frame 240 is one and it is disposed at the end of the rear side of the bottom of the box body, and is used to engage with the rear side surface 105 of the delivery vehicle body 100.

[0048] In the above description, the description of the front side of the bottom and the rear side of the bottom are relative, that is, the first support frame is located in a forward position (along the negative direction of the x-axis direction) compared to the second support frame, and the second support frame is located in a rearward position compared to the first support frame. In some embodiments, the second support frame can be arranged at the end of the rear side of the bottom of the box.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the delivery vehicle body 100 includes: a support platform, the upper surface 102 of the support platform has a groove, and the accommodating space 104 in the groove is used to accommodate the support frame in the folded state. For example, in an embodiment including a first support frame 220 and a second support frame 240, the accommodating space 104 in the groove is used to accommodate the first support frame 220 in the folded state.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A As shown, in the unfolded state, the bottoms of the first moving assembly 223 and the second moving assembly 243 are located in the same plane, so that the delivery box 200 can be moved on the ground based on the first moving assembly 223 and the second moving assembly 243. The first moving assembly 223 and the second moving assembly 243 can be structures that can be moved in various forms, such as rolling wheels, universal wheels, etc.

[0051] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A As shown, in the folded state, the first support frame 220 is used to engage with the upper surface 102 of the delivery vehicle body 100, and the second support frame 240 is used to engage with the rear side surface 105 of the delivery vehicle body 100; the bearing surface includes the upper surface 102 and the rear side surface 105.

[0052] In some embodiments, in the folded state, the first movable frame and the second movable frame are parallel to the bottom of the box; wherein the first movable frame extends along a first direction, the first direction being the direction in which the delivery box is assembled and docked with the delivery vehicle body; in the folded state, the second movable frame is perpendicular to the first movable frame. Figure 3A and Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is, for example, the x direction, the first movable frame 222 in the folded state extends along the x direction, and the second movable frame 242 in the folded state extends along the y direction.

[0053] In some embodiments, the extension length of the second fixed frame 241 along the height direction is greater than the extension length of the first fixed frame 221 along the height direction, which can effectively ensure the assembly and fixation between the second support frame and the rear side of the delivery vehicle body 100 and the connection between the first support frame and the upper surface of the delivery vehicle body 100 after folding.

[0054] Figure 4 A detailed enlarged schematic diagram of a first support frame provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 5 A schematic diagram schematically shows the principle of a first support frame provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure changing from an unfolded state to a folded state.

[0055] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first movable frame 222 comprises: a first movable frame body 2220, a first slide groove 22201 being provided on the side wall of the first movable frame body 2220; and a movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 connected to the first movable frame body 2220. The first end of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 is located in the first slide groove 22201 and is fixedly connected to the first movable frame body 2220. The first slide groove 22201 provides a space for the first end to move.

[0056] A second slide groove is provided at the bottom of the box, and the second end of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 is located in the second slide groove. When the first movable frame body 2220 rotates around the first connecting shaft, the second end can move along the second slide groove. Figure 4 It can be seen that the internal activity space where the second end is located is the position of the second slide groove; since the second slide groove is located inside the bottom of the box body, it is blocked. Figure 4 Refer to Figure 4 As shown, the limiting hole 2101 connecting the outer surface and the second slide groove is used to match the positioning column 2222 provided on the second end of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221. By providing the positioning column 2222, during the switching process of the second end from the folded state to the unfolded state, the movable position of the second end of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 can be limited within the corresponding range of the limiting hole 2101 by the positioning column 2222, which can effectively improve the stability of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 during the activity process.

[0057] Combine the following Figure 5 To illustrate the process and principle of folding the first support frame. Figure 5The first fixed frame 221 and the first movable frame body 2220 in the unfolded state are illustrated in the figure, and the unfolded state is illustrated by serial number ①, and the corresponding movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 in the unfolded state is also illustrated by a dotted line, and the two ends of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 are respectively a first end and a second end. The dotted line is used to illustrate the extension direction of the second slide. In some embodiments, the first end of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 is fixedly connected to the first movable frame body 2220, so as the first movable frame body 2220 rotates around the first connecting shaft (in Figure 5 During the rotation process (indicated by a thick black dot in the figure), the position A1 of the first end of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 also moves along the circumference of the circle C1; at the same time, since the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 itself is a rigid shaft, the movement of the position A1 of the first end will drive the position A2 of the second end to slide synchronously along the extension direction of the second slide groove. The specific movement direction is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown by the dashed arrow in the figure. Figure 5 As shown in the state at a certain moment of the rotation process (an intermediate state between the unfolded state and the folded state), as shown in sequence number ②, the first movable frame body 2220 moves along the circumference of the circle C2, and the position of the first end in this state is A1′, and the corresponding second end moves to the position A2′. Figure 5 The serial number ③ is also used to illustrate the folded state, in which the first movable frame body 2220 is parallel to the extension direction of the second slide slot, the position of the first end of the movable rigid connecting shaft 2221 is A1", and the corresponding second end moves to the position A2". It can be understood that in the folded state, here taking the first movable frame body 2220 being parallel to the extension direction of the second slide slot as an example, the angle between the two can vary within an acute angle, for example, within an angle range of 0 to 35° (including the endpoint values), specifically 0°, 5°, 8°, 10°, 15°, etc. The angle between the two can be set accordingly according to the size of the actual accommodating space, the size of the first movable component, etc., to ensure that the support frame in the folded state is used to engage with the load-bearing surface of the delivery vehicle body.

[0058] The above-mentioned circle C1 is a circle with the center position corresponding to the first rotation axis (the observation angle is viewed from the y-axis direction, that is, the view presented is in the xz plane) and the rod length from the first rotation axis to the first end A1 as the radius; the circle C2 is a circle with the center position corresponding to the first rotation axis (the observation angle is viewed from the y-axis direction, that is, the view presented is in the xz plane) and the rod length of the first movable frame body 2220 as the radius, and the circle C2 and the circle C1 are concentric circles.

[0059] The structural setting of the first movable frame 222 of this embodiment is adopted. On the one hand, due to the long extension length in the first direction (for example, the x direction), there is enough space to set the second slide groove, so that the first movable frame can drive the movable rigid connecting shaft to slide in position through the rotation of the first movable frame body, thereby realizing the rotation of the first movable frame relative to the first fixed frame, and correspondingly realizing the folding of the first support frame. On the other hand, the structure is simple, easy to process and mass produce, and the movable mode causes less component wear and tear and a long service life.

[0060] It is understandable that in other embodiments, any structure of the first movable frame that can be folded is also included in the protection scope of the present disclosure. For example, the structural implementation of the second movable frame described later can also be used as the structural implementation of the first movable frame, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0061] Reference Figure 3A As shown, the second movable frame 242 includes: a second movable frame body 2420 and a bendable connecting shaft 2421; wherein the two ends of the bendable connecting shaft 2421 are respectively connected to the connecting end b of the second movable frame body 2420 and the fixed end c at the bottom of the second fixed frame 241, and the connecting end b, the fixed end c and the second connecting shaft a (specifically corresponding to the viewing angle on the yz plane) form a triangle. For example, in Figure 3A In the embodiment, the triangle formed by the connecting end b, the fixed end c and the second connecting axis a is located in the yz plane. When the second movable frame body 2420 rotates around the second connecting axis a, the bendable connecting axis 2421 bends and makes the second movable frame body 2420 parallel to the bottom of the box body 210, for example, parallel to the y direction.

[0062] Since the second movable component 243 at the bottom of the second movable frame is relatively arranged on the left and right sides (corresponding to the y direction), the movable space between the two is relatively small. Therefore, by setting the above-mentioned second movable frame to include a structure with a bendable connecting axis, it is helpful to realize the rotation of the second movable frame relative to the second fixed frame in a smaller space, thereby enabling the second support frame to switch from an unfolded state to a folded state.

[0063] It can be understood that, in other embodiments, any structure of the second movable frame that can be folded is also included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0064] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3AAs shown, the front side of the box 210 is provided with a first position-limiting matching structure, and the first position-limiting matching structure is used to assemble with the head position-limiting member 111 provided on the front side 101 of the delivery vehicle body 100. In some embodiments, the head position-limiting member 111 has two functions. On the one hand, the head position-limiting member 111 is assembled with the first position-limiting matching structure to achieve fixation. On the other hand, the position of the box 210 can be limited by abutting against the box 210 while being fixed, so as to ensure that the distance between the box 210 and the front side of the delivery vehicle body 100 does not exceed a set threshold, so as to avoid the box 210 constantly approaching the front side of the delivery vehicle body 100 in the folded state, causing collision and damage to the box or even the goods in the box.

[0065] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3A As shown, the second fixing frame 241 is provided with a second position-limiting matching structure 2411, and the second position-limiting matching structure 2411 is used to assemble with the tail position-limiting member 113 provided on the rear side surface 105 of the delivery vehicle body 100. For example, the second position-limiting matching structure 2411 is in the form of a position-limiting groove, and the tail position-limiting member 113 is in the form of a position-limiting column, and the size of the position-limiting groove matches that of the position-limiting column and can be engaged and allowed to be disassembled. In some variant embodiments, a reinforcement member for reinforcement can also be provided between the delivery vehicle body 100 and the corresponding delivery box 200. In an embodiment including multiple delivery boxes, reinforcement members for reinforcement can also be provided between the multiple delivery boxes 200.

[0066] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3A As shown, the bottom of the box 210 is provided with an auxiliary support moving assembly 230, and the auxiliary support moving assembly 230 is used to assemble with the moving assembly assembly 103 provided on the delivery vehicle body 100; in the folded state, the auxiliary support moving assembly 230 is used to support the box 210 to move on the delivery vehicle body. For example, the auxiliary support moving assembly 230 is a support wheel, and the moving assembly assembly 103 is a guide rail.

[0067] Figure 6A to Figure 6E The schematic diagram schematically shows a process of docking a delivery box with a delivery vehicle body and loading the delivery vehicle body provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 6A A schematic diagram schematically shows a state diagram before docking between a delivery box in an unfolded state and a delivery vehicle body provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 6B A schematic diagram schematically shows a state in which a delivery box in an unfolded state provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is matched, supported and moved with a mobile assembly component on a delivery vehicle body through an auxiliary support mobile component; Figure 6CA schematic diagram of a state in which a first support frame of a delivery box is folded during the process of loading the delivery box onto a delivery vehicle body provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically; Fig.6D A schematic diagram schematically shows a state in which a delivery box is engaged with a head stopper and a tail stopper on a delivery vehicle body during a process in which the delivery box is loaded onto the delivery vehicle body provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Fig. 6E A schematic diagram schematically shows a folded state of a second support frame of a delivery box during the process of loading the delivery box onto a delivery vehicle body provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] Reference Figure 6A to Figure 6E As shown, the delivery box 200 is detachably assembled with respect to the delivery vehicle body 100 in the delivery vehicle, and the delivery box 200 in a folded state can be assembled with the delivery vehicle body 100 and transported. Figure 1 and Fig. 6E In the illustrated loading state, the delivery box 200 can carry the goods to be delivered. The delivery box 200 is transported to the door of the designated area (for example, for the scenario where the vehicle cannot enter the community gate) along with the delivery vehicle body 100, and then Figure 6A to Figure 6E Schematic reverse process (from Figure 6E to Figure 6A To understand), the delivery box 200 is disassembled from the delivery vehicle body 100, so that the delivery box 200 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state. The delivery box in the unfolded state can be separated from the delivery vehicle body to independently transport the goods. For example, the courier can deliver goods to the door through the delivery box in the unfolded state. On the one hand, since the delivery box can carry more goods at one time, it effectively solves the problem of more round-trip time consumption caused by some delivery areas not supporting vehicles to enter, and improves the delivery efficiency of door-to-door delivery; on the other hand, since the delivery vehicle body and the delivery box are detachably connected, the delivery vehicle body can operate independently after the delivery box is disassembled. For example, when the courier delivers goods to the door through the delivery box, there is no need to wait for the courier to deliver at the same time. During this period, the delivery vehicle body can drive to the next delivery area or return to the delivery station according to the dispatch to continue to transport other loaded delivery boxes. This can save the waiting time for the delivery personnel to deliver at the same time, improve the transportation efficiency of the delivery vehicle body and the delivery timeliness of more delivery boxes.

[0069] After the delivery is completed, according to the dispatch system, the delivery vehicle body that previously transported the delivery box or other dispatched delivery vehicle bodies can be used to load the delivery box. The process of loading the delivery box can be referred to Figure 6A to Figure 6E The schematic process is shown in Figure 2. Fig. 6A As shown, the delivery box in the unfolded state is close to the delivery vehicle body; Figure 6BAs shown, the delivery box in the unfolded state is matched with the mobile assembly component on the delivery vehicle body for support and movement through the auxiliary support moving component; during the movement, refer to Figure 6C As shown, the first support frame of the delivery box is in a folded state; the folded delivery box continues to move on the delivery vehicle body; Fig.6D As shown, the delivery box is engaged with the head limiter and the tail limiter on the delivery vehicle body; Fig. 6E As shown, the second support frame of the delivery box is in a folded state, completing the loading of the delivery box.

[0070] The delivery box and delivery vehicle body provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be used as separate structures. In some embodiments, the delivery vehicle body 100 matched with various delivery boxes provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a support platform, the upper surface of the support platform has a groove, and the accommodation space in the groove is used to accommodate the support frame in the folded state.

[0071] In other embodiments, the delivery vehicle body in the above-mentioned delivery vehicle further includes at least one of the following: a mobile assembly component, a head limiter, a tail limiter and a distance sensor, which can be specifically adapted to the corresponding structural settings of the delivery box.

[0072] The above-mentioned mobile assembly component is arranged on the above-mentioned upper surface, and is used to be assembled with the auxiliary support mobile component at the bottom of the box body of the above-mentioned delivery box.

[0073] The head stopper is arranged on the front side of the delivery vehicle body, and is used to be assembled with the first stopper matching structure arranged on the front side of the box body of the delivery box.

[0074] The tail stopper is arranged on the rear side of the delivery vehicle body, and is used to be assembled with the second stopper matching structure on the fixing frame located at the rear side of the box body in the delivery box.

[0075] The distance sensor is disposed on at least one of the front side or the rear side of the delivery vehicle body, and is used to sense the distance between the delivery box and the front side or the rear side.

[0076] The delivery vehicle body has a driving component and a moving component, and can transport delivery boxes. In some embodiments, the delivery vehicle body can support automatic driving. In the scenario of door-to-door delivery within the community, delivery personnel, delivery robots, etc. are required to operate the delivery boxes to deliver goods. During this period, the delivery vehicle body can continue to drive to transport other delivery boxes carrying goods, or return to the express delivery station to pick up other delivery boxes, etc.

[0077] In some implementation scenarios, a delivery vehicle body can be manually driven by a dedicated transporter, or the delivery vehicle body can be driven automatically or assisted based on an autonomous driving algorithm; other delivery personnel can deliver goods based on delivery boxes that are transported and removed from the delivery vehicle body; a delivery vehicle body carries one or more delivery boxes loaded with goods, and after the target delivery box is transported to the designated location, the delivery process of the target delivery box and the transportation process of other delivery boxes loaded with goods and other empty delivery boxes can be independent of each other and occur in the same period. This can save the waiting time for simultaneous delivery by transporters, improve the transportation efficiency of the delivery vehicle body and the delivery timeliness of more delivery boxes.

[0078] It should be noted that the examples of specific components provided in this embodiment are for illustration only, and components with similar functions or approximate structures, deformed structures, etc. may be used for deformation or replacement, all of which are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
