[0068] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0069] The present application aims to at least solve the technical problem of low shipping efficiency in the related art. To this end, the present application proposes a shipping device and a storage device that can prevent goods from getting stuck during shipping, thereby improving shipping efficiency.

[0070] Reference below Figures 1-8 A shipping device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the delivery device 1 is applied to a storage device, and includes: a first driving mechanism 30 , a transmission mechanism 20 and a delivery mechanism 10 .

[0072] The first drive mechanism 30 is the power source of the shipping device 1, and is responsible for providing the necessary driving force to start and maintain the operation of the transmission mechanism 20. The specific form of the first drive mechanism 30 can be a motor or other mechanical device that can provide stable power output. The transmission mechanism 20 is a key component connecting the drive mechanism and the shipping mechanism 10, and is responsible for converting the power generated by the drive mechanism into a motion form suitable for the operation of the shipping mechanism 10. The transmission mechanism 20 may include transmission elements such as gears, chains, and belts to achieve efficient power transmission and reasonable speed matching, ensuring that the shipping mechanism 10 can operate smoothly and reliably after receiving power. The input end of the transmission mechanism 20 is power-coupled with the output end of the first drive mechanism 30, and the output end of the transmission mechanism 20 is connected to the shipping mechanism 10.

[0073] The shipping mechanism 10 includes a box body 110 and a conveying structure 130 installed on the box body 110. The shipping mechanism 10 is responsible for transporting the goods to the designated location. The box body 110 forms a accommodating cavity 120 with an open top and a first end, so that the goods can be conveniently placed in the accommodating cavity 120 from the top or the side, and at the same time can be transported out through the opening of the first end by the conveying structure 130. The conveying structure 130 is installed in the box body 110 and is used to transport the goods toward the direction of the first end. The specific form of the conveying structure 130 can be a conveyor belt, a roller, a slide, etc. After receiving the power transmitted by the transmission mechanism 20, the conveying structure 130 starts to move and gradually pushes the goods to the opening at the first end.

[0074] A guide surface 112 is provided on the upper portion of at least one inner side surface of the box body 110, which is inclined from top to bottom toward another inner side surface that is relatively arranged. When the goods enter the box body 110, the guide surface 112 can allow the goods to fall normally onto the conveying structure 130, preventing the goods from being stuck on the side of the box body 110. At the same time, the guide surface 112 can use gravity and the principle of inclined plane to help the goods maintain a stable posture and path during the conveying process. When the goods are pushed by the conveying structure 130, the guide surface 112 can guide the goods to slide or roll in a predetermined direction, reducing the shaking and deviation of the goods during the conveying process, improving the accuracy and efficiency of shipment, and reducing the risk of damage to the goods.

[0075] In the related art, the lifting and shipping method of the vending machine usually adopts a multi-axis lifting system. The goods are moved from the upper cargo channel to the lifting platform, and then moved from the lifting platform to the shipping port below. Its internal structure is relatively complex, and it is easy to get stuck during the shipping process, and the shipping efficiency is not high. The upper part of at least one inner side surface of the box body 110 of the shipping mechanism 10 of the present application is provided with a guide surface 112, which can make the goods fall normally onto the conveying structure 130, prevent the goods from getting stuck during the shipping process, and thus improve the shipping efficiency.

[0076] According to the shipping device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the reasonable coordination of the first driving mechanism 30, the transmission mechanism 20 and the shipping mechanism 10, combined with the principle of mechanical transmission, the goods in the storage device can be efficiently and orderly transported to the designated location, and the movement process can be kept smooth to prevent the goods from getting stuck during the shipping process, thereby improving the shipping efficiency.

[0077] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the second end of the accommodating cavity 120 is provided with a guide plate 113 that is inclined from top to bottom toward the first end.

[0078] The main function of the guide plate 113 is to prevent the goods from getting stuck at the end or corner of the accommodating cavity 120 during the shipment process. By tilting from top to bottom toward the first end, the guide plate 113 can guide the goods to slide smoothly toward the shipment port, reducing the problem of goods getting stuck due to irregular shapes or improper placement of goods. The guide plate 113 is aligned with the cargo aisle at the end, which can smoothly transfer the goods to the cargo aisle, reduce collisions and damage caused by misalignment, and prevent goods from getting stuck.

[0079] It is understandable that the second end of the accommodating cavity 120 is provided with a guide plate 113 that is inclined from top to bottom toward the first end, which can improve shipping efficiency and accuracy and reduce the risk of goods being stuck and damaged.

[0080] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the box body 110 includes a box body 111 and a sensor assembly 114 .

[0081] The box body 111 is the main part of the accommodating cavity 120 and is responsible for providing sufficient space to store the goods to be shipped. The box body 111 can be made of aluminum alloy to withstand the weight of the goods and the impact force during transportation. The box body 111 usually has four walls and a bottom to form a semi-enclosed accommodating cavity 120. The conveying structure 130 is installed and fixed to the box body 111 to ensure that the goods can be transported stably.

[0082] The sensor assembly 114 is the intelligent sensing part in the shipping device 1, which is responsible for detecting whether there are goods in the accommodating cavity 120, and controlling the start of the conveying structure 130 based on the detection. By monitoring the position and quantity of the goods in real time, the sensor assembly 114 can ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the shipment. The sensor assembly 114 can be composed of multiple sensors 115. The multiple sensors 115 are installed on the inner side of the box body 111 and are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the box body 111, that is, the first direction X, so as to accurately sense the status of the goods at the corresponding position. The sensor 115 senses the goods by being blocked. This trigger mechanism is simple and effective, and can ensure that the conveying structure 130 is started in time when there is goods to be shipped.

[0083] Multiple sensors 115 correspond one-to-one to multiple cargo lanes of the storage device, so that each sensor 115 can independently monitor the situation of fallen goods in a cargo lane, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of the system. Through integration with the control system, the sensor 115 can realize intelligent control of the shipping process. When the sensor 115 detects the goods, the control system will immediately respond and start the conveying structure 130. When the goods are successfully transported out, the control system will stop the operation of the conveying structure 130 and wait for the next trigger.

[0084] It is understandable that the box body 111 and the sensor assembly 114 work together to achieve intelligent perception of goods and automated shipment, thereby improving the operating efficiency and accuracy of the shipment device 1.

[0085] In some embodiments, as Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the inner side surface of the box body 111 is provided with a mounting groove 121 open to the accommodating cavity 120, one of the upper wall and the lower wall of the mounting groove 121 has a card groove 122, and the inner side of the box body 111 is provided with a connecting groove 123 adjacent to the other of the upper wall and the lower wall of the mounting groove 121, and the sensor assembly 114 includes a mounting plate 116, multiple sensors 115 and a sensor harness 117.

[0086] The mounting groove 121 is located on the inner side of the box body 111 and is open to the accommodating cavity 120. It is used to provide an installation position for the sensor component 114 and realize the initial positioning and fixation of the sensor component 114 through its structural characteristics. The sensor component 114 can be installed inside the box body 111 through the mounting groove 121 without occupying too much space in the accommodating cavity 120.

[0087] One of the upper wall and the lower wall of the mounting groove 121 has a card slot 122, whose shape and size match the card structure at one end of the mounting plate 116. When the mounting plate 116 is inserted into the mounting groove 121, one end of the mounting plate 116 can be snapped into the card slot 122 to achieve preliminary fixation. The card slot 122 has a certain elasticity and fastening force to ensure that the mounting plate 116 will not fall off easily when subjected to external force.

[0088] The connecting groove 123 is located on the inner side of the box body 111, adjacent to the other of the upper wall and the lower wall of the mounting groove 121. The connecting groove 123 is connected to the other end of the mounting plate 116, which can further fix the sensor assembly 114. The connecting groove 123 can be a threaded hole, a slot or other form of connecting structure, so as to be used in conjunction with corresponding components on the mounting plate 116, such as screws, snaps, etc.

[0089] The mounting plate 116 is the base of the sensor assembly 114, on which multiple sensors 115 and the wiring harness of the sensor 115 are installed. One end of the mounting plate 116 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure that matches the card slot 122, and the other end is provided with a component connected to the connecting slot 123, such as a screw hole, a snap fastener, etc. Through the coordinated use of the snap-fit ​​and the connecting slot 123, the mounting plate 116 can be firmly installed in the mounting slot 121 on the inner side of the box body 111.

[0090] Multiple sensors 115 are installed on the mounting plate 116 at predetermined intervals and are located in the mounting groove 121. They are used to monitor the status of the cargo in the accommodating cavity 120 and transmit the monitoring results to the control system. The sensor harness 117 is also located in the mounting groove 121 and is connected to the sensor 115 and the control system. Through reasonable wiring, the sensor harness 117 can be ensured to be neat and orderly to avoid interference or damage during the shipping process.

[0091] It can be understood that by providing an installation groove 121, a card groove 122 and a connection groove 123 on the inner side of the box body 111 and designing a matching mounting plate 116, the sensor assembly 114 can be stably installed and accurately positioned in the box body 111, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the shipping process.

[0092] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the bottom wall of the box body 111 is provided with an outwardly open avoidance groove 124, the conveying structure 130 is installed on the bottom wall of the box body 111, and the avoidance groove 124 is used to accommodate the connection structure between the conveying structure 130 and the box body 111, or the bottom wall of the box body 111 is provided with an avoidance cavity 125, the shipping mechanism 10 includes a connecting seat 140, the box body 111 is installed on the connecting seat 140, and the avoidance cavity 125 is used to accommodate the connection structure between the connecting seat 140 and the box body 111, or the bottom wall of the box body 111 can be provided with an outwardly open avoidance groove 124 and an avoidance cavity 125 at the same time.

[0093] A plurality of outwardly open avoidance grooves 124 are provided on the bottom wall of the box body 111, which can be used to accommodate and hide the connection structure between the box body 111 and the conveying structure 130. A plurality of avoidance cavities 125 are also provided on the bottom wall of the box body 111, which can be used to accommodate the connection structure between the connecting seat 140 and the box body 111, which helps to reduce the external protrusion of the overall equipment, make the structure more compact and flat, and facilitate the overall movement and maintenance of the equipment. The box body 111 can be connected to the conveying structure 130 and the connecting seat 140 on the shipping mechanism 10 respectively through threaded connectors.

[0094] It can be understood that an avoidance groove 124 and an avoidance cavity 125 are set on the bottom wall of the box body 111, which are respectively used to accommodate the connection structure between the conveying structure 130 and the box body 111 and the connection structure between the connecting seat 140 on the shipping mechanism 10 and the box body 111.

[0095] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying structure 130 includes: a mounting bracket 131, a conveyor belt assembly 132 and a second driving mechanism 133, which is responsible for transporting the goods to the designated location.

[0096] The mounting bracket 131 is installed on the box body 110 and is the supporting base of the conveying structure 130. It can provide a stable mounting platform for the conveyor belt assembly 132 and the second drive mechanism 133. The mounting bracket 131 has sufficient strength and rigidity to support the conveyor belt assembly 132 and the weight of the goods thereon, and can remain stable during the operation of the equipment.

[0097] The conveyor belt assembly 132 is the core part of the conveying structure 130, which is responsible for directly carrying and transporting goods. The conveyor belt is usually made of wear-resistant and durable materials, such as rubber, polyurethane or special synthetic materials, to ensure good performance during long-term operation. The conveyor belt assembly 132 is installed on the mounting bracket 131 and is at least partially located in the accommodating cavity 120 so that it can directly contact the goods to be transported.

[0098] The second drive mechanism 133 is the power source of the conveying structure 130. It is installed on the mounting bracket 131 and is power-coupled with the conveyor belt assembly 132 to provide power for the movement of the conveyor belt. It is usually composed of a motor, a reducer, a transmission device and a control system, and can accurately control the speed and direction of the conveyor belt.

[0099] It can be understood that the conveying structure 130 can achieve effective transportation of goods through the cooperation of the mounting bracket 131, the conveyor belt assembly 132 and the second driving mechanism 133, thereby improving the automation level and working efficiency of the system and reducing costs and error rates.

[0100] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the transmission mechanism 20 includes a first transmission mechanism 210 and a second transmission mechanism 220 that are arranged opposite to each other in the transverse direction. The shipping device 1 also includes a first beam 40 and a second beam 50. The first transmission mechanism 210, the first beam 40, the second transmission mechanism 220 and the second beam 50 are connected end to end in sequence. The first drive mechanism 30 is installed on the first beam 40 and is dynamically coupled to the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220.

[0101] The transmission mechanism 20 is a structure in the shipping device 1 for moving the shipping mechanism 10, which can enable the shipping mechanism 10 to move up and down along the second direction Z. The beam is an important structural component that supports and connects the transmission mechanism 20. The transmission mechanism 20 includes a first transmission mechanism 210 and a second transmission mechanism 220 that are relatively arranged along the transverse direction, that is, the first direction X. The shipping device 1 includes a first beam 40 and a second beam 50 that are relatively arranged along the second direction Z. The first transmission mechanism 210, the first beam 40, the second transmission mechanism 220 and the second beam 50 are connected end to end in sequence to form a stable overall frame, and there is no relative displacement between the components.

[0102] The first drive mechanism 30 is installed on the first crossbeam 40 and serves as the power source of the transmission mechanism 20. It is responsible for providing power to the transmission mechanism 20. The first drive mechanism 30 is power-coupled with the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220. That is, the power generated by the first drive mechanism 30 can simultaneously drive the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220, thereby realizing complex motion control and cargo transmission.

[0103] When the first drive mechanism 30 is started, power can be transmitted to the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220 through a power coupling connection. After receiving the power, the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220 start to operate in a preset manner. The first beam 40 and the second beam 50 serve as support structures to ensure the stability and reliability of the transmission mechanism 20 during operation.

[0104] It can be understood that the unloading device 1 can achieve complex and precise cargo handling functions through the ingenious transmission mechanism 20 and beam layout, as well as the efficient drive mechanism connection.

[0105] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220 both include a column 230, a base 240, a pulley 250 and a lifting belt.

[0106] The column 230 is the main supporting structure of the transmission mechanism 20, and is connected to the base 240 at both ends. The column 230 is usually made of a strong material, such as steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure that it can withstand the various forces and torques generated by the transmission mechanism 20 during operation, providing a solid foundation for the transmission mechanism 20.

[0107] The seat body 240 is installed at both ends of the column 230 and is connected to the first beam 40 or the second beam 50. It can enhance the stability of the overall structure of the transmission mechanism 20 and the shipping device 1. It is a key component for connecting the column 230 and the beam and installing the pulley 250. The seat body 240 is designed with mounting holes or fixing devices so that it can be firmly connected to the column 230, and at the same time provide a plane for installing the pulley 250 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the pulley 250.

[0108] The pulley 250 is installed on the base 240 and is the core component of the transmission mechanism 20. It maintains its rotational flexibility and stability through bearings or other fixing devices. It can interact with the lifting belt through friction or meshing force to transmit power and motion. The lifting belt is a transmission element in the transmission mechanism 20, connected between the pulleys 250, and can achieve lifting motion through the rotation of the pulleys 250. The lifting belt is usually made of high-strength, wear-resistant and durable materials, such as rubber, polyester fiber or special synthetic materials, and has certain flexibility and elasticity to adapt to various changes in the transmission process. At the same time, a part of the pulleys 250 is power-coupled with the first drive mechanism 30. When the first drive mechanism 30 is started, power can be transmitted to the lifting belt through these pulleys 250, thereby driving the entire transmission mechanism 20 to operate.

[0109] It can be understood that the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220 realize power transmission and motion control through the close cooperation of the column 230, the base 240, the pulley 250 and the lifting belt, which can improve the degree of automation and work efficiency of the shipping device 1 and ensure the stability and reliability of the transmission process.

[0110] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the delivery device 1 further includes: a drag chain 60 extending vertically, with one end connected to the transmission mechanism 20 and the other end connected to the box body 110 , and the cables led out of the box body 110 are installed on the drag chain 60 .

[0111] In the shipping device 1, the drag chain 60 is installed on one or both sides of the column 230 of the transmission mechanism 20 and extends vertically. One end is connected to the transmission mechanism 20, and the other end is connected to the box body 110. The main function of the drag chain 60 is to manage and protect the cables led out from the box body 110. In the shipping device 1, there are a large number of wires, cables and control lines that move with the movement of mechanical parts. The drag chain 60 can provide an orderly and safe space, so that these cables can be neatly arranged and move flexibly with the movement of the transmission mechanism 20.

[0112] The interior of the drag chain 60 usually has smooth guide rails and a protective layer, which can protect the cables from wear, corrosion and the influence of the external environment, help to extend the service life of the cables, and reduce equipment downtime caused by cable damage. At the same time, by installing the cables in the drag chain 60, the electromagnetic interference and mechanical interference generated by the cables during movement can also be reduced, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and stable transmission of signals. The connection between the drag chain 60, the transmission mechanism 20 and the box body 110 can also increase the overall stability of the shipping device 1, ensure the stability and reliability of the cables during movement, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the entire system.

[0113] It can be understood that the drag chain 60 can improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment through effective cable management and protection.

[0114] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present application.

[0115] During the assembly process of the shipping mechanism 10, the sensor 115 is first fixed to the mounting plate 116, the sensor harness 117 is stored, and then the sensor assembly 114 is fixed to the box body 111. The fixing method can be plug-in and screw fixing. The upper end of the mounting plate 116 is plug-in, and the lower end is fixed with screws. The next step is to fix the conveying structure 130 on the box body 111, and the fixing method is bottom screw fixing.

[0116] During the assembly process of the shipping device 1, the second crossbeam 50 is first fixedly connected to the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220 respectively, and then the first crossbeam 40 is fixedly connected to the first transmission mechanism 210 and the second transmission mechanism 220 respectively. Next, the drag chain 60 and other components are installed on the second transmission mechanism 220, and then the first drive mechanism 30 is installed, and finally the assembled shipping mechanism 10 is installed.

[0117] After the delivery device 1 is assembled, the overall rigidity is better, and the transmission mechanism will not be offset in angle due to the deformation of the storage device box, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the transmission process and preventing jamming.

[0118] An embodiment of the present application also provides a storage device, including: a box body, a shelf and a shipping device 1.

[0119] The box is the main part of the storage device, which can form a compartment to protect the items stored in it from the external environment, such as dust, moisture, insects, etc. The box is usually made of strong materials such as metal or plastic to ensure its structural strength and durability.

[0120] The shelf is the main structure for storing items in the storage device. It is installed in the compartment of the box to provide layered storage space for items. The shipping device 1 is a key component for taking out items in the storage device. It is installed on the front side of the shelf and can automatically deliver items to the designated location according to a preset program.

[0121] It can be understood that by combining the box, the shelf and the shipping device 1 together, an efficient and convenient storage device can be formed, which improves the utilization of the storage space, speeds up the storage and retrieval of items, and reduces labor costs.

[0122] In some embodiments, the storage device is a vending machine and includes a refrigeration system for providing cold air to the compartment so that the temperature of the compartment is suitable to be below zero degrees.

[0123] The storage device in this embodiment can be a vending machine, which is mainly used to store and sell goods that need to be preserved at low temperatures, such as ice cream, cold drinks, frozen foods, etc., without human intervention. It is usually set up in public places, such as shopping malls, schools, airports, subway stations, etc. The refrigeration system is one of the core components of the vending machine, which is responsible for providing cold air to the compartment where the goods are stored in the vending machine. By circulating the refrigerant, the refrigeration system can absorb and take away the heat in the compartment, thereby reducing the temperature of the compartment and ensuring that the temperature of the compartment of the vending cabinet can be below 0 degrees Celsius, for example, it can be -5°C to -20°C.

[0124] A refrigeration system typically consists of four main components: a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The compressor compresses low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas into high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is then sent to the condenser for cooling and liquefaction. The liquefied refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, where it is reduced in pressure and enters the evaporator, where it evaporates and absorbs heat, thereby lowering the temperature of the compartment. The evaporated refrigerant is then drawn back into the compressor, starting the cycle anew.

[0125] It is understandable that when a vending machine is used as a storage device, its built-in refrigeration system can accurately control the temperature of the compartment, maintain the low temperature environment of the compartment, and adjust the temperature range of the compartment as needed by adjusting the working state of the refrigeration system to ensure that the goods are in the best storage conditions.
