[0042] As shown in the above description, the present application has the following advantages: Figure 1 ​​​​​​As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an automatic delivery device. The automatic delivery device comprises a storage device, a storage device 2, a door body 11, a detection device and a driving device 3. The storage device comprises a storage space and a delivery opening 1a communicating with the storage space. The storage device 2 is located on both sides of the delivery opening 1a along the first direction X. The door body 11 is configured to be movable relative to the storage device along the second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X to switch between the opening state of opening the delivery opening 1a and the closing state of closing the delivery opening 1a. The detection device comprises a first detection part 61 and a second detection part 62. The first detection part 61 is configured to detect whether there is an object at the delivery opening 1a. The second detection part 62 is configured to detect whether there is an object on the storage device 2. The driving device 3 is coupled with the door body 11 and the detection device, and is configured to drive the door body 11 to switch between the opening state and the closing state according to the detection result of the detection device.

[0043] The automatic delivery device provided by the present disclosure comprises a storage device, a door body 11, a storage device 2, a detection device and a driving device 3, the detection device comprises a first detection part 61 and a second detection part 62, the first detection part 61 is configured to detect whether there is an object at the delivery opening 1a, the second detection part 62 is configured to detect whether there is an object on the storage device 2, the driving device 3 is coupled with the door body 11 and the detection device, and is configured to drive the door body 11 to switch between the opening state and the closing state according to the detection result of the detection device. The driving device 3 drives the door body 11 to switch between the opening state and the closing state according to the detection result of the detection device comprising the first detection part 61 and the second detection part 62, which is conducive to switching the door body 11 between the opening state and the closing state according to whether there is an object at the delivery opening 1a and on the storage device 2. On the one hand, the automatic delivery device is conducive to avoiding the automatic closing of the door body 11 when there is an object at the delivery opening 1a, thereby being conducive to avoiding the user being pinched by the door body 11 when taking the goods at the delivery opening 1a, and also being conducive to avoiding the goods being pinched by the door body 11 at the delivery opening 1a, thereby causing the door body 11 to be stuck, affecting the delivery efficiency and even causing the door body 11 to be damaged. On the other hand, the detection of whether there is an object on the storage device 2 by the detection device is conducive to timely and accurately grasping the delivery situation, and is conducive to the driving device 3 driving the door body 11 to automatically switch between the opening state and the closing state according to the delivery situation, thereby being conducive to further improving the automation level, and also being conducive to avoiding the door body 11 being in the opening state for a long time, thereby being conducive to maintaining a clean and safe internal environment of the storage space. The automatic delivery device is conducive to improving the safety and reliability of the automatic opening and closing of the door body 11, and is conducive to realizing fully automatic delivery, and is suitable for applications such as automatic meal delivery and automatic vending.

[0044] As Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the automatic dispensing device further includes a first mounting portion 41, a second mounting portion 42, and a guide rail 12. The first mounting portion 41 is located along the second direction Y on the movement path of the door body 11. The second mounting portion 42 is located along the second direction Y on the movement path of the door body 11 and is respectively disposed on both sides of the dispensing opening 1a with the first mounting portion 41. In the open state, the door body 11 is close to the first mounting portion 41. In the closed state, the door body 11 is close to the second mounting portion 42. The guide rail 12 extends along the second direction Y and is installed between the first mounting portion 41 and the second mounting portion 42. The door body 11 includes a guide engagement portion, and the guide rail 12 slides in engagement with the guide engagement portion.

[0045] On the one hand, the guide rail 12 facilitates the stable movement of the door 11 along the moving path, which in turn allows the drive device 3 to stably and quickly drive the door 11 between the open and closed states, thereby improving the working efficiency of the automatic dispensing device. On the other hand, the first mounting part 41 and the second mounting part 42 are arranged along the second direction Y on both sides of the dispensing port 1a, which helps to reduce the size of the automatic dispensing device in other directions, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the automatic dispensing device.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, in the closed state, the door 11 abuts against the second mounting portion 42. In embodiments not shown, in the open state, the door 11 may abut against the first mounting portion 41 to limit the movement of the door 11.

[0047] When the door 11 is in the open state, it abuts against the first mounting part 41, and / or when the door 11 is in the closed state, it abuts against the second mounting part 42. This helps to limit the range of movement of the door 11 and to accurately position the door 11 in the open and closed states. This helps to prevent the drive device 3 from over-driving the door 11 in the second direction Y.

[0048] For example, in the open state, where the door 11 can abut against the first mounting portion 41 to limit its movement, in some embodiments not shown, the first mounting portion 41 may include a first stop surface. This first stop surface may be perpendicular to the second direction Y, and the side of the door 11 facing away from the second mounting portion 42 along the second direction Y in the open state is in contact with the first stop surface. Providing a first stop surface helps the door 11 remain stationary relative to the guide rail 12 in the open state, thereby reducing the likelihood of the door 11 shaking or moving due to external forces.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, in the closed state, when the door body 11 abuts against the second mounting portion 42, the second mounting portion 42 may include a second stop surface 42A. The second stop surface 42A may be arranged perpendicular to the second direction Y. In the closed state, the side of the door body 11 facing away from the first mounting portion 41 along the second direction Y is in contact with the second stop surface 42A. Providing the second stop surface 42A helps the door body 11 remain in a relatively stationary position relative to the guide rail 12 in the closed state, thereby helping to reduce the shaking or movement of the door body 11 due to external forces. In addition, it also helps to improve the sealing performance of the storage device when the door body 11 is closed.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first detection unit 61 includes a first transmitting device and a first receiving device. The first transmitting device is fixedly connected to one of the first mounting part 41 and the second mounting part 42. The first receiving device is fixedly connected to the other of the first mounting part 41 and the second mounting part 42, and is located on both sides of the discharge port 1a along the second direction Y, respectively.

[0051] The fixed connection between the first transmitting device and the first receiving device and the first mounting part 41 and the second mounting part 42, respectively, helps to reduce detection errors caused by shaking or displacement, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the detection results of the first detection part 61. In addition, this arrangement of the first transmitting device and the first receiving device places them in easily accessible positions, which facilitates maintenance and repair.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first detection unit 61 includes a plurality of first transmitting devices spaced apart along a third direction Z perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, and a plurality of first receiving devices spaced apart at corresponding intervals along the third direction Z.

[0053] This setup helps to expand the detection range of the first detection unit 61 and improve the accuracy of the detection results.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first mounting portion 41 includes a mounting frame. The drive device 3 is fixedly connected within the mounting frame.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting frame includes a square frame arranged perpendicular to the first direction X, and the driving device 3 may include an electric push rod extending along the second direction Y. The first end of the driving device 3, which is away from the door body 11 along the second direction Y, is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame away from the door body 11, and the second end of the driving device 3 passes through the side of the mounting frame close to the door body 11 and is drivenly connected to the door body 11.

[0056] The setting mode is compact, which is beneficial to reduce the floor space of the automatic delivery device. In addition, the driving device 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, which is beneficial to reduce the vibration generated during the driving process of the driving device 3, thereby facilitating the stable movement of the door body 11 along the second direction Y.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the goods placing device 2 comprises a square goods placing tray. The second detection part 62 comprises a second transmitting device and a second receiving device arranged at opposite ends of the square goods placing tray, respectively. Figure 1

[0058] The arrangement of the second transmitting device and the second receiving device at the opposite ends of the square goods placing tray is beneficial to cover a larger area including the square goods placing tray, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection. In addition, this arrangement is beneficial to avoid interference with the user taking goods from the goods placing device 2 along the first direction X or along the second direction Y.

[0059] In other embodiments, the goods placing device 2 may, for example, also be a semicircular goods placing tray, a trapezoidal goods placing tray, or other appropriately shaped trays. The second detection part 62 can comprise a plurality of second transmitting devices and a corresponding plurality of second receiving devices, which can also be arranged at appropriate positions of the goods placing device 2, as long as the detection range of the second detection part 62 can cover the area where the goods placing device 2 places the goods.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the detection device further comprises a third detection part 63. The third detection part 63 is configured to detect whether the door body 11 is in an open state or in a closed state. Figure 2 The arrangement of the third detection part 63 is beneficial to monitor whether the door body 11 is in an open state or in a closed state. When the third detection part 63 detects that the door body 11 is in an open state, the first detection part 61 detects the delivery port 1a, and the second detection part 62 detects the goods placing device 2, which is beneficial to realize automatic detection of the automatic delivery device, thereby improving the working efficiency of the automatic detection device. When the third detection part 63 detects that the door body 11 is in a closed state, even if there is an object moving on the delivery port 1a and the goods placing device 2, the door body 11 remains in a closed state, thereby facilitating the sealing of the storage space and maintaining a hygienic and safe environment in the storage space.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the third detection part 63 comprises a microswitch 631. The microswitch 631 is arranged at one side of the delivery port 1a along the second direction Y. In the closed state of the door body 11, the door body 11 contacts the detection end of the microswitch 631.

[0062] Figure 2

[0063] ​​​The micro switch 631 has high detection sensitivity. When the door body 11 is in the closed state, the contact between the door body 11 and the detection end of the micro switch 631 is conducive to accurately detecting whether the door body 11 is in the open state or the closed state, thereby facilitating the detection of the state of the door body 11 at the moment when the door body 11 switches from the closed state to the open state or switches to the closed state, so as to quickly respond to the state change of the door body 11.

[0064] As shown in Figure 1 some embodiments, the automatic delivery device further comprises a control device 8. The control device 8 is in signal connection with the detection device and the driving device 3 so that the detection device is coupled with the driving device 3 through the control device 8. The control device 8 is configured to control the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to switch between the open state and the closed state according to the detection result.

[0065] The control device 8 automatically receives the signal sent by the detection device and controls the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to switch between the open state and the closed state, further improving the automation level. Through the signal connection with the driving device 3, the control device 8 can quickly respond to the detection result of the detection device, which is conducive to switching the door body 11 to the closed state in time to close the storage space, or switching to the open state in time to avoid the door body 11 colliding with the object (including a human hand or goods, etc.) at the delivery port 1a during the automatic opening process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the operation of the automatic delivery device.

[0066] The control device 8 may, for example, be implemented as a general purpose processor, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, a discrete gate or transistor logic device, a discrete hardware component, or any appropriate combination thereof, for performing the functions described in the present disclosure.

[0067] As shown in Figure 2 some embodiments, the automatic delivery device further comprises an interaction device 9. The interaction device 9 is in signal connection with the control device 8 and is configured to deliver delivery information to the control device 8. The control device 8 is further configured to receive the delivery information and control the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to switch from the closed state to the open state according to the detection result and the delivery information.

[0068] Through the interaction device 9, it is beneficial to facilitate the user to input the delivery information to the automatic delivery device, the delivery information is transmitted to the control device 8, and the control device 8 can quickly process and control the driving device 3 after receiving the delivery information, so as to facilitate the driving door body 11 to switch from the closed state to the open state, thereby facilitating the rapid delivery and improving the delivery efficiency. In addition, the signal connection between the interaction device 9 and the control device 8 is beneficial to the accurate transmission of the delivery information, thereby avoiding the user from getting the wrong goods due to information error or loss.

[0069] The automatic delivery device of the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below. Figure 1 and Figure 1 The automatic delivery device of the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0070] As shown in Figure 2 , the automatic delivery device comprises a storage device, a door body 11, a storage device 2, a detection device, a control device 8, an interaction device 9 and a driving device 3.

[0071] The storage device comprises a storage space and a delivery port 1a communicating with the storage space (not shown). The delivery port 1a is located at the front side of the storage space along the front-back direction. The door body 11 is configured to be movable relative to the storage device along the left-right direction to switch between an open state of opening the delivery port 1a and a closed state of closing the delivery port 1a.

[0072] The storage device 2 is located at the front side of the delivery port 1a, and the storage space is located at the rear side of the delivery port 1a. As shown in Figure 1 and ​ , the detection device comprises a first detection part 61, a second detection part 62 and a third detection part 63. The first detection part 61 is configured to detect whether there is an object at the delivery port 1a. The second detection part 62 is configured to detect whether there is an object on the storage device 2. The third detection part 63 is configured to detect whether the door body 11 is in the open state or in the closed state. The control device 8 is signal connected with the first detection part 61, the second detection part 62 and the third detection part 63 of the detection device, and is also signal connected with the driving device 3 and the interaction device 9. The driving device 3 is signal connected with the door body 11 and signal connected with the control device 8 to be coupled with the detection device through the control device 8. The driving device 3 is configured to control the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to switch between the open state and the closed state according to the detection result of the detection device. In this embodiment, the first detection part 61 comprises two photoelectric switches, and the second detection part 62 comprises one photoelectric switch.

[0073] The automatic delivery device is beneficial to the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to switch between the open state and the closed state according to whether there is an object in the delivery port 1a and the object placing device 2. On the one hand, it is beneficial to avoid the door body 11 from touching the object when the delivery port 1a has an object, thereby avoiding the user from being pinched by the door body 11 when taking the goods in the delivery port 1a, and avoiding the goods from being turned over by the door body 11 when falling in the delivery port 1a, and even causing the door body 11 to be stuck. On the other hand, the detection device detecting whether there is an object in the object placing device 2 is beneficial to timely and accurately grasp the delivery situation, and the driving device 3 drives the door body 11 to automatically switch from the open state to the closed state or remain in the closed state according to the delivery situation, thereby avoiding the door body 11 from being in the open state for a long time, and maintaining the internal environment of the storage space of the storage device clean and safe.

[0074] As shown in ​ The automatic delivery device further includes a first mounting portion 41, a second mounting portion 42, and a guide rail 12. The first mounting portion 41 is located on the right side of the delivery port 1a and is spaced from the delivery port 1a. The first mounting portion 41 includes a mounting frame including a square frame arranged perpendicular to the front-rear direction, including a left support column, a right support column, and an upper cross beam and a lower cross beam connected between the left support column and the right support column. The distance between the left support column of the mounting frame and the delivery port 1a is greater than or equal to the width of the door body 11. The second mounting portion 42 includes a vertical column extending along the vertical direction, and the vertical column is located on the left side of the delivery port 1a. In this embodiment, the door body 11 is a square door body and is arranged perpendicular to the first direction X. The door body 11 includes two guide holes as guide matching portions, both of which extend along the second direction Y, and the two guide holes are arranged vertically spaced from each other. Two guide rails 12 extend along the second direction Y and are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the two guide holes, and the door body 11 is slidably connected with the two guide rails 12 through the two guide holes to reciprocate along the left-right direction.

[0075] The driving device 3 includes an electric push rod extending along the second direction Y, and the left end of the electric push rod is connected to the right side surface of the door body 11 to drive the door body 11 to reciprocate along the left-right direction. The left support column of the mounting frame includes an opening, and the left end of the electric push rod extends to the left side from the opening to be drivingly connected with the door body 11. The right end of the electric push rod is mounted on the right support column of the mounting frame.

[0076] The right side surface of the column of the second mounting portion 42 is configured as a second stop surface 42A. When the door body 11 is in the closed state, the left side surface of the door body 11 abuts against the second stop surface 42A to close the delivery opening la. The second stop surface 42A provides stable support and positioning for the door body 11, which is conducive to effectively closing the delivery opening la in the closed state of the door body 11. When the door body 11 is in the open state, the door body 11 is located at the right side of the delivery opening la, and the position of the door body 11 in the open state can be determined by the stroke of the electric push rod (for example, when the stroke of the electric push rod is zero, the door body 11 is configured to be in the open state).

[0077] The column of the second mounting portion 42, the guide rail 12, the door body 11, the mounting frame, and the drive device 3 in the mounting frame are arranged along the left-right direction at the front end of the storage space. This arrangement is compact in structure and is conducive to saving space in the up-down direction and in the front-rear direction of the automatic delivery device. On the other hand, compared with the arrangement in the up-down direction, the arrangement in the left-right direction is conducive to avoiding injuries to users caused by the door body 11 falling down due to gravity or other reasons, thereby improving the safety of opening and closing the door body 11.

[0078] The delivery device 2 includes a square-shaped placement tray, which is horizontally arranged. The upper guide rail 12, the front side edge of the square-shaped placement tray, the column of the second mounting portion 42, and the left side edge of the door body 11 in the open state jointly define the shape of the delivery opening la. The arrangement of the first mounting portion 41, the second mounting portion 42, and the guide rail 12 is conducive to enhancing the stability of the structure and improving the positioning accuracy of the door body 11 in the open state and the closed state.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first detection portion 61 includes two first transmitting devices and two first receiving devices respectively corresponding to the two first transmitting devices. The two first transmitting devices are mounted on the column of the second mounting portion 42 and are spaced apart in the up-down direction. The two first receiving devices are mounted on the left support column of the mounting frame and are spaced apart in the up-down direction. The first transmitting device and the corresponding first receiving device are located at the same height.

[0080] The second detection portion 62 includes a second transmitting device and a second receiving device, which are respectively located at the left rear corner and the right front corner of the square-shaped placement tray, thereby facilitating a larger detection range.

[0081] The third detection portion 63 includes a micro switch 631, which is fixedly mounted on the storage device and located at the side close to the second mounting portion 42 above the delivery opening la, so that the detection end of the micro switch 631 is in contact with the door body 11 in the closed state of the door body 11.

[0082] The interaction device 9 may, for example, include a scanning device, a shooting device, a keyboard, an interactive touch screen, etc. A user may generate delivery information through the interaction device 9, for example, input the delivery information on the interactive touch screen, and the delivery information is transmitted to the control device 8, which controls the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 according to the detection result of the detection device. For example, the third detection part 63 detects that the door body 11 is in a closed state, and the control device 8 controls the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to move to the right to switch from the closed state to the open state; for another example, the third detection part 63 detects that the door body 11 is in an open state, and the control device 8 controls the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to maintain the open state.

[0083] The automatic delivery device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0084] (1) The interaction device 9 receives the delivery information and transmits the delivery information to the control device 8, and the micro switch 631 detects that the door body 11 is in an open state or a closed state. If the door body 11 is in an open state, the control device 8 controls the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to maintain the open state, and if the door body 11 is in a closed state, the control device 8 controls the driving device 3 to drive the door body 11 to switch from the closed state to the open state.

[0085] (2) The door body 11 is in an open state, and according to the delivery information, the goods are delivered from the delivery port 1a to the delivery device 2, so the detection result of the second detection part 62 is yes. At this time, if the detection result of the first detection part 61 is yes, the control device 8 controls the door body 11 to maintain the open state; if the detection result of the first detection part 61 is no, the control device 8 controls the door body 11 to switch from the open state to the closed state.

[0086] (3) The micro switch 631 detects that the door body 11 is in a closed state, and the detection result of the first detection device 61 is yes, so the control device 8 controls the door body 11 to maintain the closed state.

[0087] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure rather than limit them; although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments of the present disclosure can be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalent replacements, which should be covered in the technical solution range claimed by the present disclosure.
