[0026] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0027] The unmanned vehicle cargo box of the present application reduces the number of first sub-cavities 11 through partitions when the number of goods is small, thereby reducing energy consumption and saving energy. In addition, the interior of the box 1 of the unmanned vehicle cargo box can realize multiple working modes such as full cooling, full heating, cooling on one side and heating on the other side, to match the use requirements of different goods. When goods that need to be heated and kept warm are placed inside the box 1, the box 1 is powered on to turn on the heating mode, the heating PTC chip works to generate heat, and the fan works to make the hot air circulate quickly inside the box 1 so that the inside of the box is at a constant heating temperature.
[0028] When goods that need to be refrigerated are placed inside the box 1, the box 1 is powered on to start the refrigeration mode, the refrigeration device 4 (compressor refrigeration mode) starts to work, and the cold air is discharged into the inside of the box 1 through the cold air outlet to meet the refrigeration needs.
[0029] When the unmanned vehicle cargo box is not in use at night, the internal temperature of the water network of box 1 will slowly change to normal temperature (outside temperature). When loading begins the next day, box 1 needs to be readjusted to the temperature of the heating or refrigeration state, and consumes a lot of electricity. Therefore, a power interface is designed on box 1, and the power interface can be connected to the mains. When resting at night, box 1 can be connected to the mains to maintain the temperature value required for the next day. Although it will not reduce the overall energy consumption, it can save the battery power of the unmanned vehicle carrying the cargo box, allowing the cargo box to increase its operating time.
[0030] An unmanned vehicle cargo box according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a box body 1 having a cavity, the box body 1 is provided with a refrigeration device 4 and a heating device 5, at least one partition 2 is arranged in the cavity, the end of the edge of the partition 2 is sealed and detachably connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and the cavity is divided to form a plurality of first sub-cavities 11, and the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5 are respectively connected to different first sub-cavities 11, and are respectively used to transport cold air and hot air to the corresponding first sub-cavity 11. Each partition 2 can be removed from the inside of the cavity, and the corresponding two adjacent first sub-cavities 11 are connected to form a second sub-cavity 12, and the volume of the second sub-cavity 12 is greater than the sum of the volumes of the corresponding two first sub-cavities 11; when the second sub-cavity 12 is connected to the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5 at the same time, the interior of the second sub-cavity 12 is refrigerated or heated.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cavity inside the box 1 is divided by the partition 2 to form a plurality of first sub-cavities 11. Cold air or hot air is input into different first sub-cavities 11, so as to be used to preserve goods with different temperature requirements. When there are fewer goods inside the box 1, the plurality of first sub-cavities 11 consume more cold air or hot air, thereby increasing the energy consumption of the box 1. In order to reduce the power consumption of the box 1, part of the partition 2 can be removed from the cavity of the box 1 according to the use requirements. After the selected partition 2 is removed, the corresponding two adjacent first sub-cavities 11 are connected to form a second sub-cavity 12 with a larger volume, thereby reducing the number of first sub-cavities 11, reducing the consumption of cold air or hot air by the box 1, and thus saving electricity.
[0032] In the unmanned vehicle cargo box of the embodiment of the present application, the number of partitions 2 is set to one, the cavity is divided to form two first sub-cavities 11, and the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5 are respectively connected to the two first sub-cavities 11 to input cold air and hot air into the two first sub-cavities 11; after the partition 2 is removed from the inside of the cavity, cold air or hot air is input into the second sub-cavity 12 formed by the two first sub-cavities 11, and the interior of the box body 1 is cooled or heated.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the number of the partitions 2 can be set to one, and the partition 2 is set in the middle of the cavity, so as to divide the cavity into two first sub-cavities 11 of equal volume. The refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5 are respectively connected to the two first sub-cavities 12, so as to input cold air and hot air into the two first sub-cavities 12 respectively. When only the refrigeration or heating function is required inside the box 1, the partition 2 inside the cavity is removed, and the two first sub-cavities 11 are connected to form a second sub-cavity 12. At this time, the volume of the second sub-cavity 12 is the volume of the cavity. By only controlling the operation of the refrigeration device 4 or the heating device 5, cold air or hot air is input into the second sub-cavity 12, so as to realize the function of only refrigeration or only heating inside the box 1.
[0034] In the unmanned vehicle cargo box of the embodiment of the present application, the number of partitions 2 is set to at least two, the cavity is divided to form at least three first sub-cavities 11, the refrigeration device 4 is respectively connected to part of the first sub-cavities 11, and the part of the first sub-cavities 11 is located on one side of the box body 1, and the heating device 5 is respectively connected to the remaining part of the first sub-cavity 11, and the remaining part of the first sub-cavity 11 is located on the other side of the box body 1.
[0035] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the number of the partitions 2 can be set to be multiple. For example, when the number of the partitions 2 is two, the cavity of the box body 1 is divided into three first sub-cavities 11, and the number of cold cavities and hot cavities can be allocated according to actual usage requirements. When the refrigeration demand is higher than the heating demand, the refrigeration device 4 is connected to the two first sub-cavities 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the heating device 5 is connected to the remaining first sub-cavity 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, when the heating demand is higher than the refrigeration demand, the heating device 5 is connected to two first sub-cavities 11 , and the refrigeration device 4 is connected to the remaining first sub-cavity 11 .
[0036] Therefore, when there is less cargo, in order to save internal friction of the box body 1, the partition 2 inside the cavity is removed, and the two first sub-cavities 11 for refrigeration or heating are connected, so as to merge into a larger second sub-cavity 12. At this time, there are a first sub-cavity 11 and a larger second sub-cavity 12 inside the box body 1, which reduces the number of first sub-cavities 11 and saves power consumption.
[0037] In the unmanned vehicle cargo box of the present application, in two adjacent first sub-cavities 11 respectively connected to the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5, at least the partition between the two first sub-cavities 11 is made of heat-insulating material.
[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, considering that multiple first sub-cavities 11 for cooling are located on the same side (left side) of the box body 1, and multiple first sub-cavities 11 for heating are located on the other side (right side) of the box body 1, and there is a first sub-cavity 11 for cooling adjacent to a first sub-cavity 11 for heating, in order to avoid heat exchange between the adjacent first sub-cavity 11 for cooling and a first sub-cavity 11 for heating, thereby reducing the cooling or heating efficiency, the partition 2 between the two first sub-cavities 11 is made of heat-insulating material to prevent heat exchange.
[0039] Furthermore, in the first sub-cavities 11 located on the same side (both for cooling or heating), since the thermal properties inside adjacent first sub-cavities 11 are the same (both for cooling or heating), the partition 2 between two adjacent first sub-cavities 11 can be made of ordinary material or heat-insulating material, such as heat-insulating foam box, heat-insulating cotton, etc.
[0040] When there is no precise requirement for the temperature inside the multiple first sub-cavities 11 on the same side, the partition 2 is made of ordinary material. When the temperature precision requirement for the multiple first sub-cavities 11 on the same side is high, all the partitions 2 are made of heat-insulating materials to prevent heat exchange between any two adjacent first sub-cavities 11. At the same time, by controlling the amount of cold air or hot air input into the corresponding first sub-cavity 11 by the refrigeration device 4 or the heating device 5, the temperature inside different first sub-cavities 11 can be controlled, so that each sub-cavity 11 has a different temperature, thereby meeting the different optimal refrigeration or heating temperature requirements for different goods.
[0041] In the unmanned vehicle cargo box of the embodiment of the present application, mounting grooves are provided on the inner side wall of the cavity, and the number of mounting grooves is the same as the number of partitions 2 and corresponds one to one, and the edge end of each partition 2 is sealed and plugged into the corresponding mounting groove. The shape of each mounting groove matches the shape of the edge end of the corresponding partition 2, and the mounting groove can be set as a double-layer clamping structure, and the partition 2 can be detachably clamped in the middle from the inside of the box body 1. The edge of the partition 2 is a flexible material and is compressively clamped by the mounting groove, thereby achieving sealing between different first sub-cavities 11.
[0042] In the unmanned vehicle cargo box of the embodiment of the present application, each partition 2 includes a connecting portion and a heat insulating portion. The connecting portion is located at the edge of the heat insulating portion, and the connecting portion is made of plastic material and is sealed and plugged into the corresponding installation groove; the heat insulating portion is made of heat insulating material, and the projected area of each first sub-cavity 11 relative to the partition board surface is equal to the board surface area of the partition 2. The heat insulating portion is plate-shaped and made of heat insulating material, which can achieve heat insulation between different first sub-cavities 11. The connecting portion is annular and matches the edge shape of the heat insulating board. The connecting portion is made of plastic material to facilitate sealing and sealing plugging with the corresponding installation groove.
[0043] In the unmanned vehicle cargo box of the embodiment of the present application, an openable box door 3 is provided on one side of the box body 1, and the number of the box doors 3 is the same as the number of the first sub-cavities 11 and corresponds one to one. A pallet is provided inside each first sub-cavity 11, and the pallet is used to place goods.
[0044] In the unmanned vehicle cargo box of the embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5 are respectively located on both sides of the interior of the box body 1, and a power interface is provided on the box body 1, and the power interface is connected to an external power source to supply power to the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5. The refrigeration device 4 includes a compressor, etc., and the heating device 5 includes a heating plate and a fan.
[0045] Based on the same concept, an unmanned vehicle corresponding to an unmanned vehicle cargo box is also provided in the embodiment of the present application. Since the principle of solving the problem by the unmanned vehicle in the embodiment of the present application is similar to the above-mentioned unmanned vehicle cargo box in the embodiment of the present application, the implementation of the unmanned vehicle can refer to the implementation of the unmanned vehicle cargo box, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.
[0046] An embodiment of the present application provides an unmanned vehicle, including a vehicle body, a refrigeration device 4, a heating device 5 and an unmanned vehicle cargo box. The refrigeration device 4, the heating device 5 and the unmanned vehicle cargo box are respectively located on the vehicle body, and the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5 are respectively used to input cold air and hot air into the unmanned vehicle cargo box.
[0047] The unmanned vehicle is equipped with an unmanned vehicle cargo box. When there are fewer goods in the unmanned vehicle cargo box, the number of the first sub-cavities 11 is reduced through the partition 2, thereby reducing energy consumption and saving energy. In addition, the interior of the box 1 of the unmanned vehicle cargo box can realize multiple working modes such as full cooling, full heating, cooling on one side and heating on the other side, to match the use requirements of different goods. When goods that need to be heated and kept warm are placed inside the box 1, the box 1 is powered on to turn on the heating mode, the heating PTC chip works to generate heat, and the fan works to make the hot air circulate quickly inside the box 1 so that the inside of the box 1 is at a constant heating temperature.
[0048] When goods that need to be refrigerated are placed inside the box 1, the box 1 is powered on to start the refrigeration mode, and the refrigeration state 4 (compressor refrigeration mode) starts to work, and the cold air is discharged into the inside of the box 1 through the cold air outlet to meet the refrigeration needs.
[0049] When the unmanned vehicle cargo box is not in use at night, the internal temperature of the water network of box 1 will slowly change to normal temperature (outside temperature). When loading begins the next day, box 1 needs to be readjusted to the temperature of the heating or refrigeration state, and consumes a lot of electricity. Therefore, a power interface is designed on box 1, and the power interface can be connected to the mains. When resting at night, box 1 can be connected to the mains to maintain the temperature value required for the next day. Although it will not reduce the overall energy consumption, it can save the battery power of the unmanned vehicle carrying the cargo box, allowing the cargo box to increase its operating time.
[0050] The unmanned vehicle of the embodiment of the present application also includes a control device, which is located on the vehicle body and connected to the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5 respectively, so as to control the refrigeration device 4 and the heating device 5 to input cold air and hot air into the cargo box of the unmanned vehicle.
[0051] In addition, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
