Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mobile parcel locker, and more particularly to a parcel locker delivery vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the ever-growing scale of the express delivery industry, the number of fixed parcel storage points is far from meeting the demand, leading to the emergence of mobile parcel lockers. Mobile parcel lockers are generally divided into two types: integrated carrier and locker, and separate carrier and locker. The former has a fixed carrier and locker, while the latter allows for separation of the carrier and locker, thus saving more on operating costs compared to the former. However, the latter requires workers to lift the lockers from the carrier or from the ground onto the carrier, and requires specialized cranes. The entire lifting process is technically demanding and inefficient. Developing a mechanism for quickly lifting the lockers onto the carrier would significantly improve lifting efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model provides a delivery vehicle for express lockers, solving the problem of high difficulty and low efficiency in hoisting express lockers and vehicles in the prior art.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solution: a parcel locker delivery vehicle, including a flatbed transport vehicle and a parcel locker, wherein the parcel locker includes a cabinet body, several support legs and two hanging ear blocks fixed to both sides of the cabinet body;

[0005] The flatbed transport vehicle has a base on its flatbed, and two parallel horizontal slide rails distributed along the left and right sides of the flatbed transport vehicle on the base. Sliding seats are slidably fitted on both horizontal slide rails, and vertical supports are fixed to the two sliding seats. Two vertically distributed vertical slide rails are provided on the front and rear sides of the supports, and lifting seats are slidably fitted on both vertical slide rails. Each lifting seat has a mounting base, and a horizontally arranged conveyor belt assembly is mounted on the mounting base. The conveyor belt assembly consists of several horizontally arrayed bearing rollers, a belt, and a drive motor. The base has a first driver that drives the two sliding seats to reciprocate along the horizontal slide rails, and the supports have a second driver that drives the two lifting seats to reciprocate up and down along the corresponding vertical slide rails.

[0006] When the parcel locker needs to be moved off the flatbed transport vehicle, the two second actuators simultaneously lift the lifting seat a certain distance, separating the locker's support legs from the base. Then, the first actuator drives the sliding seat to slide to one side until the entire support frame moves to one side of the flatbed transport vehicle. The conveyor belt assembly then activates, pushing the locker further outward until it is positioned entirely outside the flatbed transport vehicle. Finally, the two second actuators simultaneously lower the lifting seat until the locker is placed on level ground. Similarly, the reverse operation transfers the locker from the ground onto the flatbed transport vehicle. The movable structure of this invention can be controlled by a program or manually operated via remote control or joystick. When the locker is transferred to the flatbed transport vehicle, it must be secured with ropes to prevent movement or tipping.

[0007] Furthermore, the first driver is a servo slide module, horizontally mounted on the base. The servo slide module has locking blocks on its slide, which engage with the bottom of the bracket from left to right. The servo slide module is a finished product and can be obtained through procurement. It is important to note that the servo slide module must avoid the movement paths of the bracket and the parcel locker to prevent physical collisions.

[0008] Furthermore, the base has two slots, and the two horizontal slide rails are groove-shaped structures located on the side walls of the slots. The sliding seat has four rectangularly distributed rollers horizontally mounted within the horizontal slide rails. The slots themselves accommodate the support legs of the express delivery locker, which rest at the bottom of the slots when stationary. The sliding seat achieves good positioning by rolling contact between the four rollers and the side walls of the horizontal slide rails.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting seat is horizontally provided with four guide wheels arranged in a rectangular pattern, and the front and rear sides of the bracket are provided with two vertical hollow columns. The hollow columns are fixed on the sliding seat, and the vertical slide rail is located on the hollow columns and has a groove-shaped structure. The four guide wheels are rotatably assembled in the vertical slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, a drive plate is also fixedly provided on the lifting seat. The second drive includes a servo motor, a lead screw and a lead screw nut. The servo motor is fixed to the top of the hollow column, the lead screw passes through the interior of the hollow column, and the lead screw nut is fixed to the drive plate.

[0011] Therefore, this utility model has the following characteristics compared with the prior art: 1. This utility model operates by combining a first driver, a second driver and a conveyor belt assembly, which enables the function of transferring the express cabinet between the ground and a flatbed transport vehicle.

[0023] Example 1: See Figure 1 and Figure 5 A type of express delivery locker delivery vehicle includes a new energy flatbed transport vehicle 100 and an express delivery locker 200. The express delivery locker includes a locker body 210, four support legs 220 and two hanging ear blocks 230 fixed to both sides of the locker body.

[0024] See Figure 2 The flatbed transport vehicle has a base 300 on its flatbed, and two parallel horizontal slide rails 310 distributed along the left and right sides of the flatbed transport vehicle on the base. Sliding seats 320 are slidably fitted on both horizontal slide rails, and vertical supports 330 are fixed on the two sliding seats. Two vertically distributed vertical slide rails 340 are provided on the front and rear sides of the supports, and lifting seats 350 are slidably fitted on both vertical slide rails. Each lifting seat is provided with a mounting seat 360, and a horizontally arranged conveyor belt assembly 370 is provided on the mounting seat. The conveyor belt assembly consists of several horizontally arrayed bearing rollers 371, a belt 372, and a drive motor. The base is provided with a first driver 380 that drives the two sliding seats to reciprocate along the horizontal slide rails, and the supports are provided with a second driver 390 that drives the two lifting seats to reciprocate along the corresponding vertical slide rails.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 When the parcel locker needs to be moved off the flatbed transport vehicle, the two second actuators simultaneously drive the lifting platform to rise a certain distance, separating the locker's support legs from the base. Then, the first actuator drives the sliding seat to slide to one side until the entire support frame moves to one side of the flatbed transport vehicle. The conveyor belt assembly then activates, pushing the locker further outward until it is positioned entirely outside the flatbed transport vehicle. Finally, the two second actuators simultaneously drive the lifting platform to descend until the locker is placed on level ground. Similarly, the reverse operation transfers the locker from the ground onto the flatbed transport vehicle. The movable structure in this embodiment can be controlled by a program or manually operated via remote control or joystick. When the locker is transferred to the flatbed transport vehicle, it must be secured with ropes to prevent movement or tipping.

[0026] See Figure 2 The first driver is a servo slide module, horizontally mounted on the base. The servo slide module has locking blocks 381 on its slide, which engage with the bottom of the bracket from both sides. The servo slide module is a pre-assembled component and can be purchased. It is important to note that the servo slide module must avoid the movement paths of the bracket and the parcel locker to prevent physical collisions.

[0027] See Figure 2 The base has two slots 301, and two horizontal slide rails are groove-shaped structures located on the side walls of the slots. Four rectangularly distributed rollers 321 are horizontally mounted on the sliding seat, rolling within the horizontal slide rails. The slots themselves accommodate the support legs of the express delivery locker, which rest at the bottom of the slots when stationary. The sliding seat achieves good positioning by rolling against the side walls of the horizontal slide rails through the four rollers.

[0028] See Figure 4 The lifting seat has four rectangular guide wheels 351 horizontally arranged. The front and rear sides of the support have two vertical hollow columns 331. The hollow columns are fixed on the sliding seat. The vertical slide rail is located on the hollow column and has a groove structure. The four guide wheels are rolled and assembled in the vertical slide rail.

[0029] See Figure 3 The lifting platform is also fixedly equipped with a drive plate 352. The second drive includes a servo motor 391, a lead screw 392 and a lead screw nut 393. The servo motor is fixed to the top of the hollow column, the lead screw passes through the interior of the hollow column, and the lead screw nut is fixed on the drive plate.

[0030] See Figure 2 The support also includes two horizontal connecting rods 332 that are fixedly connected to the two hollow columns.

[0031] The horizontal slide rail, vertical slide rail, and mounting base are all equipped with proximity sensors at both ends to detect the positions of the lugs on the sliding seat, lifting seat, and conveyor belt assembly, respectively, preventing these components from moving beyond the preset range. In addition to proximity sensors, existing sensors such as laser sensors and microswitches can also be used as replacements.

[0032] This invention can be modified in many ways, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and such modifications are not considered to depart from the scope of this invention. All such modifications that are obvious to those skilled in the art are included within the scope of these claims.
