[0027] The logistics container 27 includes the cigarette pack transfer rack as described above, and also includes a drive device and limit strips 28 on both sides of the transfer rack sliding fixing channel 21 to keep the cigarette pack transfer rack moving within the channel; the drive device includes a drive gear 18, which is correspondingly arranged with the drive rack 33 of the cigarette pack transfer rack; the drive gear 18 is arranged in the transfer rack sliding fixing channel 21 to drive the transfer rack body 31 to move, and in the case of arrangement, a plurality of drive gears 18 are arranged longitudinally at intervals along the transfer rack sliding fixing channel 21; the transfer rack sliding fixing channel 21 is used to limit the left and right movement of the transfer rack body 31.
[0028] Optional, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive device includes a drive motor 41 and several drive control boxes; each of the drive control boxes is driven by the drive motor; each drive control box includes a power connection chamber 1, a power linkage chamber 26, and a power drive chamber 20; the power connection chamber 1 is equipped with an electronically controlled transmission assembly for controlling the connection or disconnection of the drive force from the drive motor 41; the power linkage chamber 26 is used to receive the transmission force from the power connection chamber 1 and synchronously transmit the transmission force to the drive gear set of the power drive chamber 20; the drive gear set includes the drive gear 18. Optionally, the power connection chamber includes a first sprocket 10, which is fixed to a first shaft seat 8 via a first shaft 9. The first sprocket 10 is connected to a drive sprocket on the power output shaft of the drive motor 41 via a first chain 11. A first transmission wheel 2 is provided at the other end of the first shaft 9. The chamber also includes a second transmission wheel 14 and a second shaft 17. The second shaft 17 is provided with a spring ring 6, and an axial keyway 15 is provided on the outer surface of the second shaft 17. The axial keyway 15 is located on one side of the spring ring 6. The second transmission wheel 14 is provided with an inner wheel, which is positioned corresponding to the axial keyway. It has a drive keyway and can be slidably mounted on the second rotating shaft 17 along the axial direction through the axial keyway; a compression spring 5 is provided between the second transmission wheel 14 and the spring convex ring 6; a transmission structure is provided on the side of the first transmission wheel 2 and the side of the second transmission wheel 14 respectively, and the power connection or disconnection between the second transmission wheel 14 and the first transmission wheel is realized by the axial displacement of the second transmission wheel 14 and by relying on the transmission structure; it also includes an axial drive assembly 12, which can be an electric telescopic device, a hydraulic cylinder, or a telescopic cylinder, etc.; the axial drive assembly 12 is used to drive the axial displacement of the second transmission wheel 14.
[0029] Optionally, the side of the first transmission wheel 2 is provided with a plurality of axial insertion holes 13; the side of the second transmission wheel 14 is provided with a plurality of insertion rods 3 corresponding to the axial insertion holes 13; the axial insertion holes 13 and the insertion rods 3 form the transmission structure. In use, the principle is as follows: In the power disconnection state, the drive motor 41 stops driving, and the telescopic rod of the axial drive assembly 12 extends, causing the second transmission wheel 14 to move away from the first transmission wheel 2, thus disconnecting the power transmission; in the power connection state, the drive motor 41 stops driving, and the telescopic rod of the axial drive assembly 12 retracts, causing the second transmission wheel 14 to move towards the first transmission wheel 2 under the action of the compression spring 5. After the telescopic rod of the axial drive assembly 12 separates from the second transmission wheel 14, sometimes the insertion rod 3 may not be inserted into the axial insertion hole 13. At this time, the compression spring 5 provides a continuous leftward compression force. When the drive motor 41 starts driving, the first transmission wheel 2 begins to rotate relative to the second transmission wheel 14. Finally, under the compression force of the compression spring 5, the second transmission wheel 14 can cause the insertion rod 3 to be inserted into the axial insertion hole 13, completing the docking and realizing the power transmission. In order to achieve better insertion, in this embodiment, the outer end of the axial insertion hole 13 is set with a tapered opening structure, so that the insertion rod 3 can be better inserted into the axial insertion hole 13 during use.
[0030] Optionally, the second transmission wheel 14 is further provided with a locking hole 4 on its side, which is located on the outer ring of the insertion rod 3. The locking hole 4 corresponds to the telescopic rod of the axial drive assembly, and is positioned relative to the insertion rod 3 through the insertion of the axial hole 13. That is, when the axial hole 13 and the insertion rod 3 are inserted, the position of the locking hole 4 corresponds to the position of the telescopic rod of the axial drive assembly 12.
[0031] Optionally, the second rotating shaft 17 passes sequentially through the power linkage chamber 26 and the power drive chamber 20; a second sprocket 16 and a drive gear 18 are also provided on the second rotating shaft 17; the second sprocket 16 is disposed in the power linkage chamber 26; a plurality of driven sprockets 24 are also disposed in the power linkage chamber 26; the driven sprockets 24 are connected to the second sprocket 16 by a second chain 25; the driven sprockets 24 are fixed to one end of the driven rotating shaft 22; the other end of the driven rotating shaft 22 is disposed in the power drive chamber 20 and a driven drive gear 18-1 is fixed thereon; the driven drive gear 18-1 and the drive gear 18 constitute a drive gear set, which is used to drive the transfer frame body to move.
[0032] like Figure 5As shown in this application, in order to achieve the goal of driving one of the transfer frame bodies 31 (driving targets) while keeping the other transfer frame bodies 31 (non-driving targets) stationary in actual operation, the design logic is as follows: the power of the drive motor 41 is decomposed into a unit drive mode (i.e., power connection chamber 1, power linkage chamber 26 and power drive chamber 20) to drive and control the transfer frame body 31. Compared with the method of using multiple motors to drive separately, the above structure can significantly reduce costs and equipment weight, and reduce energy consumption during cargo transportation.
[0033] Optionally, the transfer rack sliding fixing channel 21 is also provided with several monitoring and sensing components 30, such as grating through-beam sensing components. The other end of the grating through-beam sensing component can be set at the top of the inner cavity of the logistics cargo box 27. The monitoring and sensing components are used to monitor the position of the transfer rack body during the movement process to prevent the two transfer rack bodies 31 from colliding during loading. That is, it can be processed according to the following scheme during manufacturing: several rows of transfer rack sliding fixing channels 21 are provided in the logistics cargo box 27, and then each row of transfer rack sliding fixing channels 21 The system is configured such that one drive control box corresponds to one transfer rack body 31. For example, if three transfer rack bodies 31 can be placed on a row of transfer rack sliding fixing channels 21, then three sets of drive control boxes are installed below the transfer rack sliding fixing channels 21. A monitoring area 29 is then provided between each set of drive control boxes, and a monitoring sensor component 30 is installed in the monitoring area 29. When loading the transfer rack bodies 31 onto the vehicle, the transfer rack body 31 corresponding to the last arriving delivery point is loaded first. The transfer frame body 31 moves into the logistics container 27 under the control of the drive control box. At this time, the monitoring sensor components 30 of the two outer monitoring areas 29 can be authorized to stop working, and only the monitoring sensor component 30 of the innermost monitoring area 29 can monitor. When the transfer frame body 31 moves to the monitoring sensor component 30 of the innermost monitoring area 29, the control system is triggered, causing the innermost drive control box to stop power transmission. At this time, the telescopic rod of the axial drive component 12 of this drive control box inserts into its second transmission wheel. The locking hole 4 of 14 prevents the second transmission wheel 14 from rotating, thereby controlling the driven gear 18-1 and the drive gear 18 in this area to be non-rotatable, thus achieving locking and fixing of the transfer frame body 31 in the front-back direction. During processing and manufacturing, the height of the inner cavity of the logistics box 27 is matched with the height of the transfer frame body 31 to prevent the transfer frame body 31 from jumping during transportation, achieving fixation in the upper and lower directions. At the same time, combined with the left and right limit of the transfer frame sliding fixing track 21, the transfer frame body 31 can be locked. When unloading, the first point to arrive unloads the outermost transfer frame body 31 in the logistics box 27. By controlling the outermost drive control box, the transfer frame body 31 can be driven to move and unload. In some embodiments, the inner cavity of the logistics box 27 can be provided with more than two rows of transfer frame sliding fixing tracks 21, and one row of transfer frame sliding fixing tracks can be driven by one drive motor 41.
