Technical Field

[0001] This utility model applies to the field of unmanned transfer vehicles, specifically an unmanned express delivery box transfer vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] A parcel locker transfer vehicle is a vehicle specifically designed for transporting and transferring parcel lockers containing packages awaiting delivery. Its purpose is to ensure that parcels reach their destination safely and efficiently. The transfer vehicle operates according to a predetermined route and schedule, ensuring timely delivery and meeting customer expectations. However, the loading and unloading of parcel lockers requires the assistance of personnel, resulting in high labor and time costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model proposes an unmanned express delivery box transfer vehicle, providing an unmanned transfer solution with excellent transfer capabilities that requires no on-site personnel.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an unmanned express delivery box transfer vehicle including a special cargo container, on one side of which is a box cover plate, and the rotating roller on the box cover plate and the swing wheel inside the cargo container constitute an internal conveying device.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution, the rotating roller is disposed in a groove opened on the inner side of the box cover plate, and is evenly distributed along the length of the box cover plate, and is movably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the groove.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the swing wheel is located at the bottom of the container and adjusts its speed and direction according to the system's instructions to achieve transmission and transportation with the rotating roller.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the unmanned express delivery box transfer vehicle has a pad on the outside of the box cover. When the box cover is rotated outward, it can achieve a stable connection with the external transmission device, which facilitates the up and down transfer of goods.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the inner side of the unmanned express delivery box transfer vehicle is also provided with a magnetic sealing strip, which can attract each other with the magnetic attraction device on the outside of the container to ensure the sealing of the container when the box cover is closed.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the unmanned express delivery box transfer vehicle has an external detection module, including a rear-view camera, a side-view camera, and an ultrasonic radar located at the rear of the chassis, which can help the unmanned vehicle select a suitable loading and unloading location.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the unmanned express delivery box transfer vehicle also has an internal detection module, which includes cargo entry and exit detection components.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the internal detection module also includes a cargo speed detection module and an internal camera, which can control the rotation speed and direction of the balance wheel, making it easier to transport the express box to the designated location smoothly.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom of the inner side of the container also has a lifting and lowering blocking device.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] When the unmanned vehicle is in position and automatically stops, the container lid opens automatically, and the swing wheel inside the container starts first, transferring the sealed express boxes to the rotating roller and then to other transfer devices for automatic unloading. After unloading, the container lid closes. Conversely, when the express boxes are transferred to the transfer vehicle via other devices, the rotating roller starts first, transferring the express boxes to the swing wheel for automatic loading. This process requires no human intervention, achieving unmanned operation of the express box transfer process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example:

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an unmanned express delivery box transfer vehicle includes a special container 1. A box cover 4 is hinged to one side of the container 1. The rotating roller 11 on the box cover 4 and the swing wheel 7 inside the container constitute an internal conveying device.

[0025] This utility model utilizes the rotating roller 11 on the box cover plate 4 and the swing wheel 7 inside the container to form an internal conveying device. With the help of hardware such as ultrasonic radar 2 and camera, as well as the control system, it can be connected with the external conveying device to realize automatic loading and unloading of goods throughout the entire process, reducing labor costs and lowering the risk of damage to goods and the spread of harmful substances caused by improper human operation.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 If there are express boxes that need to be transferred, the unmanned transfer vehicle first adjusts its parking position according to the ultrasonic radar 2, the rear-view camera 501 and the side-view camera 502. It controls the box cover 4 that is hinged to the container 1 through the motor, and then finely adjusts the parking position again through the control system so that the box cover 4 can be connected to the conveyor belt 12. At this time, the express box 13 is transported to the internal conveying device of the unmanned transfer vehicle through the conveyor belt 12, realizing the first step of loading.

[0027] Preferably, the internal conveying device includes a rotating roller 11 on the box cover plate 4 and a swing wheel 7 inside the container 1. The rotating roller 11 is disposed in a groove opened on the inner side of the box cover plate 4, and is evenly distributed along the length of the box cover plate 4, and is movably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the groove; the swing wheel 7 is disposed at the bottom of the container 1, and works together with the rotating roller 11 to transport the transfer box 13 into the interior of the container 1.

[0028] Preferably, when the front of the express box 13 has landed on the balance wheel 7, the control system will dynamically adjust the direction and speed of the balance wheel through the speed detection module 8 installed inside the container 1 and the internal camera 14 to ensure that the express box can be smoothly placed in the designated position.

[0029] Preferably, the container 1 is also equipped with an entry / exit detection module 9. When the entry / exit detection module 9 detects that the express box 13 has completely entered the container 1, it will notify the control system. At this time, the control system will raise the blocking device 10 to prevent the express box 13 from moving backward, and at the same time close the box cover 4 to prepare for departure.

[0030] Furthermore, when the unmanned transfer vehicle arrives at the designated unloading point, it first adjusts its parking position based on the ultrasonic radar 2, rear-view camera 501, and side-view camera 502. The lid 4, which is hinged to the container 1, is controlled by a motor, and the parking position is finely adjusted again by the control system so that the lid 4 can dock with the external conveying device. Then, the blocking device 10 is lowered, and the direction and speed of the swing wheel are dynamically adjusted according to the speed detection module 8 and the internal camera 14 to ensure that the express box can be smoothly transported to the rotating roller 11 on the lid 4. Finally, the express box 13 is transported to the external conveying device via the rotating roller 11, realizing automatic unloading.

[0031] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
