[0051] Furthermore, the space adjustment mechanism includes at least one partition 33, which is movably disposed within the support member 3, and the partition 33 is used to divide the accommodating space into multiple sub-spaces.

[0052] Furthermore, the side panel 37 is provided with a plurality of adjustment portions 32 spaced apart along its length, and the separator 33 is installed at the adjustment portions 32 at different positions.

[0053] Furthermore, the adjustment part 32 is at least one of the following: adjustment groove, adjustment hole, adjustment buckle, or adjustment guide rail.

[0054] The carrier 3 includes a space adjustment mechanism for changing the layout of the accommodating space. This mechanism includes at least one partition 33; in this embodiment, two partitions 33 are provided. The partitions 33 are movably disposed within the carrier 3, dividing the accommodating space into multiple sub-spaces. The side panel 37 has multiple adjustment sections 32 spaced apart along its length. In this embodiment, the adjustment sections 32 are adjustment slots, and the two ends of the partitions 33 can be inserted into different adjustment slots to adjust the size of the sub-spaces. When needed, the user can manually insert or remove the partitions 33 according to the size of the luggage to select a suitable installation position.

[0055] Furthermore, the side panel 37 includes two side panels, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom plate 31, and the rear ends of the two side panels are respectively provided with splicing parts 39.

[0056] Two splicing pieces 39 are arranged opposite each other, and an insertion port 38 is formed between the ends of the two splicing pieces 39.

[0057] In this embodiment, the shielding component includes a tailplate 34, which is inserted vertically into the socket 38. When loading or unloading luggage, the tailplate 34 can be removed to open the socket 38, making it easier to put or take luggage in from the rear. Normally, the tailplate 34 is inserted to close the socket 38 and prevent items from slipping out.

[0058] Furthermore, the front end of the carrier 3 is also provided with a front compartment 4, and the front end of the front compartment 4 is provided with an interaction area and / or an item storage area.

[0059] The rear end of the front compartment 4 is also provided with an auxiliary fixing mechanism, which is used to fix the items in the accommodating space.

[0060] The auxiliary fixing mechanism includes at least one tightening strap 35 and a tightening buckle 36 that cooperates with the tightening strap 35, and one end of the tightening strap 35 and the tightening buckle 36 are both connected to the rear end of the front compartment 4.

[0061] The front end of the carrier 3 is equipped with a front compartment 4.

The rear end of the front compartment 4 is equipped with an auxiliary fixing mechanism for securing items within the storage space. In this embodiment, the auxiliary fixing mechanism includes two tightening straps 35 and tightening buckles 36 that cooperate with the tightening straps 35. One end of the tightening strap 35 is fixed to the rear end of the front compartment 4, and the tightening buckle 36 is also fixed to the rear end of the front compartment 4. In use, the tightening strap 35 is wrapped around the luggage and connected to the tightening buckle 36 to prevent the luggage from shaking or tipping over during transportation.

[0062] Example 2: This example is basically the same as Example 1, except that the adjustment part 32 has a different structure.

[0063] In this embodiment, the adjustment part 32 is an adjustment buckle, which is an elastic buckle structure and is fixedly disposed on the inner side wall of the side panel 37. Multiple adjustment buckles are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the side panel 37.

[0065] In this embodiment, the adjusting buckle can be made of plastic elastic elements or metal spring sheets, which have good wear resistance and service life. Compared with the adjusting groove structure of Embodiment 1, the adjusting buckle of this embodiment is quicker to assemble and disassemble, without the need for precise alignment of the groove, making it suitable for scenarios that require frequent adjustments to the spatial layout.

[0066] The intelligent luggage handling robot of this invention is applied in hotels or business venues, and its working process is as follows:

[0067] When the robot receives a task command, it can be activated via touch input on the interactive area at the front of the front cabin 4, or by voice interaction module, or wirelessly dispatched through the hotel management system. The industrial control computer 12 inside the chassis 1 then starts the various system modules. The sensing components collect real-time information about the surrounding environment, and the industrial control computer 12 runs an adaptive federated Kalman filter algorithm to fuse data from multiple sensors, construct an environmental map, and identify obstacles such as parking spaces and speed bumps, achieving high-precision positioning and global path planning. The sensing components include LiDAR, a vision camera, and a 360° panoramic camera.

[0068] The industrial computer 12 sends control commands to the drive unit 11 according to the planned path, driving the robot to move autonomously. During the movement, the sensing unit continuously collects environmental information, and the industrial computer 12 detects fault signals in real time and dynamically adjusts the path to ensure accurate obstacle avoidance and navigation.

[0069] After the robot reaches the target location, it uses a visual camera to identify the target marker and achieves high-precision docking. The user issues luggage storage instructions through the interaction area at the front of the front compartment 4 or the voice interaction module. At this time, the cover at the rear of the carrier 3 is opened: in this embodiment, the tail plate 34 is inserted into the socket 38, and the user manually pulls out the tail plate 34 to expose the socket 38.

[0070] The user manually adjusts the spatial layout within the carrying unit 3 according to the luggage size: the divider 33 can be selectively installed at different positions of the adjustment section 32 on the side panel 37 to divide the storage space into multiple sub-spaces, achieving compartmentalized luggage storage. After the luggage is placed in, the user uses the tightening strap 35 and tightening buckle 36 in the auxiliary fixing mechanism at the rear of the front compartment 4 to wrap around and connect the luggage, firmly securing it within the storage space to prevent shaking or tipping during transportation. The tail panel 34 is then reinstalled, and the slot 38 is sealed.

[0071] The industrial control computer 12 replans the path, driving the robot to autonomously move to the target location, such as the guest room door. Upon arrival, the user verifies their identity via verification code, facial recognition, or voice command, opens the tailgate 34, then releases the auxiliary securing mechanism and retrieves their luggage from the slot 38. After completing the task, the robot returns to the standby point or automatic charging station according to the system schedule.

[0072] The entire process realizes an intelligent and unmanned service loop from task reception, environmental perception, autonomous navigation, human-computer interaction, luggage storage and retrieval to task completion, effectively improving the efficiency of hotel luggage handling and user experience.

[0073] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model.
