[0063] As shown in Figures 1 to 16 The present application discloses a storage and distribution device, which can be used for storage and distribution of meals or take-out food in hotels, and can be configured in hotel lobbies or downstairs of residential buildings.

[0064] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 8 , the storage and delivery device can include a storage cabinet 1, a delivery robot 2, and an automatic tray collection device 3. The storage cabinet 1 can be used to store hotel meals or take-out food. Hotel staff or take-out delivery personnel can place prepared meals or take-out food into the storage cabinet 1. The storage cabinet 1, the delivery robot 2, and the automatic tray collection device 3 are in communication connection with a terminal server. When meals or take-out food are placed in the storage cabinet 1, the storage cabinet 1 sends information to the terminal server, the terminal server sends a work instruction to the delivery robot 2, and the delivery robot 2 takes away the meals or take-out food and delivers them to the corresponding destination, which can be the door of a room in a hotel or a community. After the delivery robot 2 completes the meal delivery, the tray 132 containing the meal is still located in the delivery robot 2, and the delivery robot 2 is displaced to the position of the automatic tray collection device 3, which automatically recovers the tray 132.

[0065] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the storage cabinet 1 can include a first cabinet body 11, a circulating movement mechanism 12 arranged in the first cabinet body 11, a plurality of storage box units 13, and a pushing mechanism 14. The first cabinet body 11 is provided with a taking port 112 and a storage port 111. The plurality of storage box units 13 are connected with the circulating movement mechanism 12. The storage box unit 13 includes a box body 131 and a tray 132 arranged in the box body 131, and the tray 132 is used to hold the articles. The articles are the hotel meals or take-out food mentioned above. The circulating movement mechanism 12 drives the plurality of storage box units 13 to move in a circulating manner, so that any storage box unit 13 can move back and forth between a first position and a second position. The first position is a position where the storage box unit 13 is opposite to the storage port 111, and the hotel staff or take-out delivery personnel can place the prepared meals into the box body 131 through the storage port 111, specifically onto the tray 132. The second position is a position where the storage box unit 13 is opposite to the pushing mechanism 14, and the pushing mechanism 14 is used to push the tray 132 and the articles in the tray 132 to the taking port 112. The delivery robot 2 includes a retractable plate 22 that can enter and exit the first cabinet body 11 from the taking port 112. The retractable plate 22 cooperates with the pushing mechanism 14 to take out the tray 132 and the articles in the tray 132. The pushing mechanism 14 can push the articles and the tray 132 together from the box body 131 to the retractable plate 22 of the delivery robot 2, and the delivery robot 2 retracts the retractable plate 22 to complete the meal taking. The automatic tray collection device 3 is arranged on one side of the first cabinet body 11 and is used to recover the tray 132.

[0066] Referring to Figure 2 ,Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first cabinet 11 is cuboid in shape, including a front end face, a rear end face, a left side face, a right side face, a top face and a bottom face. The front end face and the rear end face have the largest area, and the top face and the bottom face have the smallest area. The storage port 111 and the taking port 112 can be arranged on the same face, for example, the storage port 111 and the taking port 112 are both arranged on the front end face. Hotel staff or delivery personnel can put food or takeout through the storage port 111 into the storage box unit 13 in the first cabinet 11. The delivery robot 2 takes out the food or takeout from the first cabinet 11 through the taking port 112. The taking port 112 is closer to the ground than the storage port 111, so as to adapt to the height of the delivery robot 2 and the height of the storage personnel (i.e. the above-mentioned hotel staff or delivery personnel). Since the storage box unit 13 can move with the circular motion structure, any storage box unit 13 can move to the above-mentioned first position and second position, so that the number of storage ports 111 can be as few as possible, for example, one or two, so as to facilitate the storage personnel to store the goods at the same position, reduce the walking distance, and improve the storage efficiency. The delivery robot 2 can also take away the goods in any one of the storage box units 13 in the first cabinet 11 at the taking port 112, without increasing the height of the delivery robot 2 or setting a lifting device on the delivery robot 2, so as to reduce the size of the delivery robot 2 as much as possible, reduce the possibility of collision between the delivery robot 2 and other objects during displacement, and make the delivery more convenient.

[0067] In other embodiments, the storage port 111 and the taking port 112 can also not be arranged on the same face, for example, the storage port 111 is arranged on the front end face, and the taking port 112 is arranged on the left side face or the right side face, so that the working areas of the personnel and the delivery robot 2 are separated, and they work without affecting each other.

[0076] Specifically, the first opening 1312 is arranged towards the storage opening 111 to facilitate personnel to put food into the box body 131; when the personnel put food into the box body 131, the tray 132 can be taken out from the automatic dish collecting device 3, the food is put into the tray 132, and then the tray 132 and the food are put into the box body 131 in the first cabinet 11. The bottom of the first opening 1312 can be provided with a protrusion for limiting the tray 132 and the food from sliding out of the first opening 1312. The second opening 1313 is arranged towards the right side of the first cabinet 11, and the pushing opening 1314 is arranged towards the left side of the first cabinet 11. The pushing opening 1314 is arranged opposite to the pushing mechanism 14, so that the pushing mechanism 14 can enter the box body 131 from the pushing opening 1314, push the food or the tray 132, and make the food and the tray 132 be pushed out of the second opening 1313, so that the food and the tray 132 in the box body 131 are displaced to the telescopic plate 22 of the delivery robot 2 entering the first cabinet 11.

[0077] For reference Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the pushing structure comprises a first pushing bottom plate 141, a second motor 142, a second pushing bottom plate 143, a third pushing bottom plate 144, a first transmission assembly 145, a second transmission assembly 146 and a pushing plate 147.

[0078] The first pushing bottom plate 141 is fixed on the frame 122 of the robot body 21, the second motor 142 is arranged on the first pushing bottom plate 141, the second pushing bottom plate 143 is arranged above the first pushing bottom plate 141, and the third pushing bottom plate 144 is arranged above the second pushing bottom plate 143; the first transmission assembly 145 connects the output shaft of the second motor 142 and the second pushing bottom plate 143, so that the second pushing bottom plate 143 moves relative to the first pushing bottom plate 141 in the direction close to or away from the pushing opening 1314; the second transmission assembly 146 is used to move the third pushing bottom plate 144 in the same direction as the second pushing bottom plate 143 at the same time; the pushing plate 147 is arranged at one end of the third pushing bottom plate 144 close to the pushing opening 1314, and the size of the pushing plate 147 is smaller than the size of the pushing opening 1314.

[0079] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 14 further comprises a fixed sheet metal 148, a guide plate 149, a sliding assembly 1410, a guide rail in-place sensing sheet 1411 and a photoelectric switch 1412. The top of the fixed sheet metal 148 is fixed on a crossbar of the robot body 21 frame 122 of the circulating motion mechanism 12, and a first pushing bottom plate 141 is fixed on the bottom inside of the fixed sheet metal 148. The first pushing bottom plate 141, a second pushing bottom plate 143 and a third pushing bottom plate 144 are all parallel to the bottom surface of the first cabinet 11. The guide plate 149 is arranged at one end of the first pushing bottom plate 141 close to the pushing port 1314, and the middle part of the guide plate 149 is provided with an opening allowing the second pushing bottom plate 143 and the third pushing bottom plate 144 to pass through. The sliding assembly 1410 is arranged between the first pushing bottom plate 141 and the second pushing bottom plate 143, and between the second pushing bottom plate 143 and the third pushing bottom plate 144, facilitating the movement of the second pushing bottom plate 143 and the third pushing bottom plate 144. The guide rail in-place sensing sheet 1411 is arranged at the bottom of the second pushing bottom plate 143, and the photoelectric switch 1412 is arranged on the first pushing bottom plate 141 and electrically connected with the second motor 142. The photoelectric switch 1412 can be two, and the straight line connected by the two photoelectric switches 1412 is the same as the movement direction of the second pushing bottom plate 143. The guide rail in-place sensing sheet 1411 is located between the two photoelectric switches 1412, and the distance between the two photoelectric switches 1412 is the preset movement distance of the second pushing bottom plate 143 and the third pushing bottom plate 144. When the guide rail in-place sensing sheet 1411 touches any one of the photoelectric switches 1412 during the movement of the second pushing bottom plate 143, the corresponding photoelectric switch 1412 controls the second motor 142 to reverse, thereby changing the movement direction of the second pushing bottom plate 143 and the third pushing bottom plate 144, completing the pushing movement and return movement of the pushing structure.

[0080] Referring to Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the first transmission assembly 145 comprises a first synchronous wheel 1451, a second synchronous wheel 1452, a first synchronous belt 1453, a first synchronous pressing plate 1454 and a first pressing plate fixing piece 1455. The first synchronous wheel 1451 is connected with the output shaft of the second motor 142, the straight line connected by the second synchronous wheel 1452 and the first synchronous wheel 1451 is perpendicular to the plane where the pushing port 1314 is located, the first synchronous belt 1453 is simultaneously sleeved on the first synchronous wheel 1451 and the second synchronous wheel 1452, the first synchronous pressing plate 1454 and the first pressing plate fixing piece 1455 are clamped on the first synchronous belt 1453, and the first pressing plate fixing piece 1455 is fixedly connected with the second pushing bottom plate 143.

[0081] Specifically, the first synchronous pressing plate 1454 is clamped with the first pressing plate fixing piece 1455 on the clamping point of one side of the first synchronous belt 1453, so that when the second motor 142 drives the first synchronous wheel 1451, the second synchronous wheel 1452 cooperates with the first synchronous wheel 1451 to drive the first synchronous belt 1453 to move, and the clamping point of the first synchronous belt 1453 makes reciprocating linear motion between the first synchronous wheel 1451 and the second synchronous wheel 1452. Since the first pressing plate fixing piece 1455 is fixedly connected with the second pushing bottom plate 143, when the first synchronous belt 1453 moves, it drives the second pushing bottom plate 143 to make reciprocating linear motion with the clamping point.

[0082] The second transmission assembly 146 includes a third synchronous wheel 1461, a fourth synchronous wheel 1462, a second synchronous belt 1463, a second synchronous pressing plate 1464, a second pressing plate fixing piece 1465, a third synchronous pressing plate 1466, and a third pressing plate fixing piece 1467. The third synchronous wheel 1461 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1462 are arranged on the second pushing plate, and the straight line connected by the third synchronous wheel 1461 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1462 is perpendicular to the plane where the pushing port 1314 is located. The second synchronous belt 1463 is sleeved on the third synchronous wheel 1461 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1462 at the same time. The second synchronous pressing plate 1464 and the second pressing plate fixing piece 1465 are clamped on the second synchronous belt 1463. The second pressing plate fixing piece 1465 is fixedly connected with the first pushing bottom plate 141. The third synchronous pressing plate 1466 and the third pressing plate fixing piece 1467 are clamped on the second synchronous belt 1463. The third pressing plate fixing piece 1467 is fixedly connected with the third pushing plate.

[0083] Specifically, the second synchronous pressing plate 1464 and the second pressing plate fixing member 1465 are clamped at the clamping point on one side of the second synchronous belt 1463, and the third synchronous pressing plate 1466 and the third pressing plate fixing member 1467 are clamped at the clamping point on the other side of the second synchronous belt 1463. When the second pushing bottom plate 143 moves relative to the first pushing bottom plate 141, the third synchronous wheel 1461 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1462 on the second pushing bottom plate 143 move in the same direction with the second pushing bottom plate 143. Since the second pressing plate fixing member 1465 is fixedly connected with the first pushing bottom plate 141, the second synchronous pressing plate 1464 and the second pressing plate fixing member 1465 clamped at the clamping point on one side of the second synchronous belt 1463 are fixed, so that the third synchronous wheel 1461 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1462 rotate, and then the relative positions of the second synchronous pressing plate 1464 and the second pressing plate fixing member 1465 clamped at the clamping point on one side of the second synchronous belt 1463 and the third synchronous wheel 1461 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1462 change, at the same time, the relative positions of the third synchronous pressing plate 1466 and the third pressing plate fixing member 1467 clamped at the clamping point on the other side of the second synchronous belt 1463 and the third synchronous wheel 1461 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1462 change in the opposite direction, for example, when the second pushing bottom plate 143 moves close to the pushing port 1314, the second synchronous pressing plate 1464 and the second pressing plate fixing member 1465 clamped at the clamping point on one side of the second synchronous belt 1463 move close to the third synchronous wheel 1461, and the third synchronous pressing plate 1466 and the third pressing plate fixing member 1467 clamped at the clamping point on the other side of the second synchronous belt 1463 move away from the third synchronous wheel 1461, and since the third pressing plate fixing member 1467 is fixedly connected with the third pushing bottom plate 144, the third pushing bottom plate 144 moves relative to the second pushing bottom plate 143 and moves close to the pushing port 1314.

[0084] In summary, when the second pushing bottom plate 143 moves relative to the first pushing bottom plate 141, the third pushing bottom plate 144 can move relative to the second pushing bottom plate 143, and the distance of relative movement is the same.

[0085] For a better understanding Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12In some embodiments, the sliding assembly 1410 can include a first sliding block 14101, a first guide rail 14102, a second sliding block 14103, and a second guide rail 14104. The first sliding block 14101 can be provided in two, and the first guide rail 14102 can be provided in two. The two first sliding blocks 14101 are respectively arranged on the bottom of the second pushing bottom plate 143, and the two first guide rails 14102 are respectively arranged on the top of the first pushing bottom plate 141. The axis of the first guide rail 14102 is perpendicular to the plane on which the pushing port 1314 is located. The first sliding block 14101 is fitted on the first guide rail 14102. In addition to facilitating the movement of the second pushing bottom plate 143 relative to the first pushing bottom plate 141, the first guide rail 14102 also supports the second pushing bottom plate 143. The second sliding block 14103 is arranged at the bottom of the third pushing bottom plate 144, and the second guide rail 14104 is arranged at the top of the second pushing bottom plate 143. The second sliding block 14103 is fitted on the second guide rail 14104, and the axis of the second guide rail 14104 is parallel to the axis of the first guide rail 14102.

[0086] Further referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the storage cabinet 1 can further include an automatically opening storage door 16 and a taking door 15. The storage door 16 is arranged at the storage port 111. After the storage cabinet 1 receives a storage instruction, the storage door 16 automatically opens, and personnel can place the tray 132 containing food into the box body 131 in the first cabinet body 11 from the storage port 111. The taking door 15 is arranged at the taking port 112. When a taking instruction is received, the taking door 15 automatically opens, and the delivery robot 2 can take out the food in the first cabinet body 11 from the taking port 112.

[0087] In some embodiments, the storage cabinet 1 can further include a touchable display screen 17, which can be arranged at the front end of the first cabinet body 11. Personnel can operate the display screen 17 to store the goods. The display screen 17 can also display the storage condition of the storage cabinet 1, such as the number of idle storage box units 13.

[0088] Further referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the storage cabinet 1 can further include a pair of sensors 18, which can be arranged on the vertical rods of the upper frame 1222 of the main frame 122. The pair of sensors 18 are used to detect whether the box body 131 contains food. The number of the pair of sensors 18 is set to be more than two, and corresponds to the number of the box body 131.

[0089] Further referring to Figure 13In some embodiments, the delivery robot 2 also includes a robot body 21 and a baffle 23. The robot body 21 has an insulated compartment for storing items, and the aforementioned telescopic plate 22 is disposed within this compartment and can enter and exit it. A baffle 23 is provided at the outward end of the telescopic plate 22. This baffle 23 serves to both close the insulated compartment and limit the items on the telescopic plate 22. When picking up food, the pickup door 15 opens, revealing the pickup opening 112. The telescopic plate 22 enters the cabinet through the pickup opening 112. The pushing mechanism 14 pushes the tray 132 and the food on it out of the box 131 and onto the telescopic plate 22. The delivery robot 2 then retracts the telescopic plate 22, completing the food pickup.

[0090] See also Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 In some embodiments, the automatic tray-retrieving device 3 may include a second cabinet 31, a magnetic grabber 32, a translation component 33, a lifting component 34, a separator block 35, and a separator shaft 36. The second cabinet 31 has a storage compartment 311 for storing trays 132. The storage compartment 311 has at least one third opening 3111 for personnel to retrieve and / or return trays 132. A fourth opening 3112 is provided at the bottom of the storage compartment 311. A tray-retrieving opening 312 for collecting trays 132 is provided on the side of the second cabinet 31, located below the storage compartment 311. The magnetic grabber 32 is used to grab the trays 132, and is positioned opposite to the tray-retrieving opening 312. A translation component 33 is positioned below the fourth opening 3112 and is connected to the magnetic gripper plate 32. The translation component 33 controls the magnetic gripper plate 32 to move in and out of the second cabinet 31 from the receiving port 312, ensuring that the tray 132 gripped by the magnetic gripper plate 32 is positioned below the fourth opening 3112 after entering the second cabinet 31. A lifting component 34 is positioned below the fourth opening 3112. When the tray 132 is below the storage compartment 311, the lifting component 34 lifts upwards to lift the tray 132 from the fourth opening 3112 into the storage compartment 311. The separator 35 and the separator shaft 36 are disposed on two opposite sides of the closing compartment. The separator 35 rotates around the axis of the separator shaft 36 so that the two separators 35 can switch between a horizontal state and a non-horizontal state. When the two separators 35 are in a horizontal state, the distance between the ends of the two separators 35 is less than the distance between the two opposite edges of the tray 132. When the two separators 35 are in a non-horizontal state, the distance between the ends of the two separators 35 is greater than or equal to the distance between the two opposite edges of the tray 132.

[0091] Specifically, the second cabinet 31 is arranged at the side of the first cabinet 11, for example, adjacent to the right side of the first cabinet 11, so that the personnel can take the tray 132 in the second cabinet 31 nearby. The third opening 3111 on the tray storage bin 311 can be arranged at the top or the side of the first cabinet 11, or at both the top and the side of the first cabinet 11. When the third opening 3111 is arranged at the side of the first cabinet 11, the tray collection opening 312 is arranged at the side different from the third opening 3111, so that the personnel can take the tray and the automatic tray collection device 3 can collect the tray from the delivery robot 2 at the same time. The fourth opening 3112 has the same size as the cross-sectional size of the tray storage bin 311. The magnetic grabbing plate 32 is connected to one end of the translation assembly 33, and the translation assembly 33 can control the magnetic grabbing plate 32 to enter and exit the tray collection opening 312. The tray 132 is a metal material with magnetism that can be attracted by the magnetic grabbing plate 32. After the delivery robot 2 completes the meal delivery, it returns to the position of the second cabinet 31 and controls the telescopic plate 22 to be located outside the tray collection opening 312. The translation assembly 33 controls the magnetic grabbing plate 32 to extend from the tray collection opening 312 to the outside of the second cabinet 31. After the magnetic grabbing plate 32 attracts the tray 132 on the telescopic plate 22, the translation assembly 33 controls the magnetic grabbing plate 32 to return to the tray collection opening 312 from the second cabinet 31, and makes the tray 132 located below the fourth opening 3112. The lifting assembly 34 is lifted upward to lift the bottom of the tray 132, so that the tray 132 is separated from the magnetic grabbing plate 32 and enters the tray storage bin 311 from the fourth opening 3112. During the process that the tray 132 enters the tray storage bin 311 and moves upward, the two opposite edges of the tray 132 push the partition blocks 35 in the horizontal state upward, so that the two partition blocks 35 change to the non-horizontal state, so that the tray 132 can continue to move upward. When the tray 132 is separated from the partition blocks 35 in the non-horizontal state, the partition blocks 35 return to the horizontal state. The lifting assembly 34 is slowly lowered to gradually separate the contact between the lifting assembly 34 and the bottom of the tray 132, so that the tray 132 falls. The bottoms of the two opposite edges of the tray 132 are respectively overlapped on the two partition blocks 35 in the horizontal state. In this way, the tray 132 is recycled. When multiple trays 132 are recycled, the last recycled tray 132 gradually lifts the first recycled tray 132 upward, so that the trays 132 are stacked in the tray storage bin 311.

[0092] Reference is made to Figure 14 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16In some embodiments, the translation assembly 33 includes a third motor 331, a first drive shaft 332, a second drive shaft 333, a first drive gear 334, and a third chain 335, which are located below the fourth opening 3112. The third motor 331 is fixed to the inner side of the second cabinet 31, the first drive shaft 332 is the output shaft of the third motor 331, which is arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the second cabinet 31, the second drive shaft 333 is arranged parallel to the first drive shaft 332, and both the first drive shaft 332 and the second drive shaft 333 are parallel to the plane on which the recycling opening is located. The second drive shaft 333 is closer to the recycling opening than the first drive shaft 332. The two ends of the first drive shaft 332 are sleeved with two first drive gears 334, the two ends of the second drive shaft 333 are sleeved with two first drive gears 334, and two parallel third chains 335 are respectively sleeved on the first drive gears 334 at the two ends of the first drive shaft 332 and the second drive shaft 333, so that the third chain 335 is perpendicular to the plane on which the recycling opening is located. The two sides of the magnetic grabbing plate 32 are respectively fixed to the two third chains 335, so that the third motor 331 can drive the magnetic grabbing plate 32 to make a translational motion into and out of the recycling opening.

[0093] Referring to Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 34 can include a fourth motor 341, a second drive gear 342, a rack 343, and a lifting push plate 344. The fourth motor 341 is arranged on the inner side of the second cabinet 31 and located below the spacing space between the third chains 335. The second drive gear 342 is connected to the output shaft of the fourth motor 341. The rack 343 is engaged with the second drive gear 342, and the rack 343 is arranged perpendicular to the bottom surface of the second cabinet 31. The lifting push plate 344 is fixedly connected to the top of the rack 343, and the size of the lifting push plate 344 is smaller than the distance between the two third chains 335 and smaller than the distance between the first drive shaft 332 and the second drive shaft 333. In this way, the fourth motor 341 can control the lifting push plate 344 to make a vertical lifting motion, so that the lifting push plate 344 can contact the bottom of the tray 132 located below the fourth opening 3112 and lift the tray 132, so that the tray 132 is separated from the magnetic grabbing plate 32 and enters the tray storage bin 311.

[0094] In some embodiments, to ensure that the two partition blocks 35 will not be turned downward when in a horizontal state, a limiting device (not shown in the figure) can be provided to enable the partition block 35 to only move upward around the axis of the partition shaft 36, for example, a one-way torsional torsion spring is provided between the partition block 35 and the partition shaft 36, or a limiting opening is provided above the two side walls of the tray storage bin, the bottom of the limiting opening is in contact with the bottom of the partition block 35 in a horizontal state, and the top of the limiting opening is spaced apart from the bottom of the partition block 35 in a horizontal state, so that the partition block 35 can only move upward, and the side walls of the tray storage bin can be used to improve the stability of the support of the recovered tray 132 by the partition block 35.

[0095] Participate together Figure 17 In some examples, the storage cabinet 1 is provided in two, and the two storage cabinets 1 are arranged side by side.

[0096] In the embodiment, the structure of the storage cabinet 1 disclosed in the above embodiment is provided in pairs except the display screen 17, the taking opening 112 and the taking door 15.

[0097] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the display screen 17, the taking opening 112 and the taking door 15 can also be provided in pairs.

[0098] Participate together Figure 18 The storage cabinet 1 can also include a controller 19, a temperature sensor 20 and an identification device 24 arranged on the controller 19, the controller 19 is arranged in the first cabinet body 11, specifically arranged in the part of the first cabinet body 11 opposite to the display screen 17, the controller 19 is in communication connection with a terminal server, which can be a terminal server of a hotel management system, when the food or takeout is placed in the first cabinet body 11, the controller 19 sends information to the terminal server, the terminal server sends a work instruction to the delivery robot 2, and after the delivery robot 2 takes away the food or takeout, it is transported to the corresponding destination, which can be the door of a room in the hotel. The temperature sensor 20 and the identification device 24 are connected with the controller 19, the temperature sensor 20 is arranged in each box body 131, and is used for identifying the temperature of the object in the box body 131. The identification device 24 is arranged on the pushing mechanism 14, and is used for identifying the box body 131. The controller 19 is also connected with the first motor 123, the second motor 142 and the opposite sensor 18.

[0099] Participate together Figure 19 The delivery method of the storage and delivery equipment provided by the utility model comprises steps S110-S140.

[0100] S110, if it is detected that the box body is placed with an object, the cabinet time and the cabinet temperature of the object are acquired.

[0101] Specifically, each box and the corresponding pair of infrared sensors and temperature sensors are one-to-one coded and pre-stored in the controller. For example, the No. 001 box corresponds to the No. 001 pair of infrared sensors and the No. 001 temperature sensor. After the corresponding box is put into the meal, the corresponding pair of infrared sensors and temperature sensors send the cabinet entry time information and cabinet entry temperature information to the controller. After receiving the cabinet entry time information and cabinet entry temperature information, the controller sends the information of the stored meal to the terminal server, and the terminal server sends the work instruction to the delivery robot.

[0102] S120, judge whether the interval of the cabinet entry time of the items in each box is greater than a preset value.

[0103] For example, the preset value can be set to 3 minutes. After receiving multiple cabinet entry time information and cabinet entry temperature information, the controller means that multiple customers' meals have been put into the storage cabinet within a period of time. The controller judges whether the interval of the cabinet entry time of the meals in any two or more boxes is greater than 3 minutes through the received cabinet entry time information.

[0104] S130, if the interval of the cabinet entry time is greater than the preset value, preferentially deliver the items with earlier cabinet entry time.

[0105] For example, if the interval of the cabinet entry time is greater than 3 minutes, in order to avoid the long waiting time of the customers and affect the user's ordering experience, the items with earlier cabinet entry time are preferentially delivered. Specifically, the identification device provided on the pushing mechanism can be an RFID reader. When each box is located at the second position, a tag cooperating with the RFID reader is provided on the outer side of the box opposite to the pushing mechanism. When the tag of the box enters the scanning range of the RFID reader, the RFID reader sends the corresponding information of the box to the controller. The corresponding information of the box includes the coding information of the box. For example, when the RFID reader sends the information of the No. 001 box to the controller, the controller judges that the No. 001 box has moved to the position that can cooperate with the pushing mechanism, i.e. the second position, so that the controller can judge whether the box corresponding to the items to be delivered is located at the second position.

[0106] For example, after the controller determines the items to be preferentially delivered and the No. 001 box corresponding to the items, when the controller receives the information of the No. 001 box sent by the RFID reader, the controller sends the stop working instruction to the first motor, i.e. controls the cyclic motion structure to stop moving, and sends the working instruction to the second motor to push the meal and the tray in the No. 001 box to the telescopic plate of the delivery robot.

[0107] S140, if the interval of the cabinet entry time is not greater than the preset value, preferentially deliver the items with higher cabinet entry temperature.

[0108] For example, if the controller determines that the interval of the entering cabinet time of the meals in the two boxes is not greater than 3 minutes, the entering cabinet temperature of the meals in the two boxes is determined by the entering cabinet temperature information, and the meal with higher temperature is preferentially delivered. Since the interval of the entering cabinet time of the meals in the two boxes is not greater than the preset value, it indicates that the meal ordering time of the customer is not far apart, at this time, the importance of the entering cabinet time is reduced, the meal with higher temperature will have more temperature drop in the same time, and has greater influence on the dining experience of the customer, so the step S140 can further improve the user experience.

[0109] The above is only a specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
