Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of residential delivery robots, and in particular to a residential delivery robot with a storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Residential delivery robots are automated logistics devices specifically designed for residential settings. They aim to use intelligent technology to efficiently and safely deliver packages, fresh produce, and takeout items from delivery stations or couriers to users' doorsteps. They typically integrate autonomous navigation systems, obstacle avoidance sensors, intelligent interaction modules, and cloud management platforms, enabling them to autonomously plan routes, identify obstacles, use elevators, interact with users, and complete item handover. Residential delivery robots with built-in storage boxes are automated devices that integrate storage, transportation, and intelligent interaction, specifically designed for the "last mile" delivery of packages, takeout, and fresh produce within residential communities or buildings. Their core function is to securely store items in built-in modular storage boxes and achieve unmanned delivery through autonomous navigation and intelligent unlocking technologies.

[0003] In the current technology, residential delivery robots with storage boxes still have the following significant defects in their structural design:

[0004] I. Most current mainstream storage boxes adopt a regular rectangular or fixed-division structure, which has low space utilization and is difficult to adapt to the delivery needs of long, irregular, or oversized items, resulting in orders that cannot be completed due to physical size limitations;

[0005] Second, the existing pre-divided compartment design of the storage box lacks dynamic adjustment capability and cannot flexibly allocate space according to order type (such as multiple small packages from the same user or mixed large items from different users). In actual scenarios, contradictions often arise, such as "large compartments for small items" (e.g., a single package occupies the entire large compartment) or "small compartments cannot hold large items" (e.g., multiple small packages are scattered across multiple small compartments). This leads to a reduction in the robot's single delivery capacity, requiring multiple round trips and increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a residential delivery robot with a storage box, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A residential delivery robot with a storage box includes a robot body and a storage box. The storage box has a double-door at its front end. The interior of the storage box contains several shelves and partitions. The shelves are fixedly connected to support plates on the inner walls of the storage box via connecting mechanisms on both sides of the top surface. The connecting mechanisms include a bidirectional screw, movable plates, and locking blocks. The bidirectional screw is movably connected to the top surface of the shelves via rotating rods at both ends. Two movable plates are movably connected to the bidirectional screw via screw holes on the side walls. The locking blocks are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the movable plates. The partitions are fixedly connected to the storage box via inserts on the top and bottom surfaces. The partitions are vertically oriented and interspersed with the horizontally oriented shelves via strip openings on the side walls.

[0009] Preferably, several support trays are fixedly installed in a vertical array on the left and right side walls inside the storage box body, and a set of symmetrical slots are opened on the top surface of the support trays. The two end walls of the support trays are also respectively provided with snap-fit ​​slots that communicate with the slots.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom surface of the storage box body is provided with several adjustment slots arranged in a horizontal array.

[0011] Preferably, the top surface of the shelf has a set of symmetrical vertical openings, and the front and rear end walls of the vertical openings have rotation holes respectively.

[0012] Preferably, rotating rods are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the bidirectional screw, and the rotating rods are movably installed in the rotating holes. A knob is also fixedly installed on the front wall of the rotating rod. A symmetrical set of movable plates is provided, and a screw hole is opened on the side wall of the movable plate and threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw through the screw hole. A locking block is fixedly installed on the opposite side wall of the symmetrical movable plates, and the locking block is inserted into the locking slot.

[0013] Preferably, the top and bottom surfaces of the partition plate are respectively fixedly installed with inserts corresponding to the adjustment slots, and the side wall of the partition plate is also provided with a strip-shaped opening corresponding to the support plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, the storage plate can be flexibly installed on support trays of different heights inside the storage box body through the bidirectional screw, movable plate, and locking block in the connecting mechanism, realizing free adjustment of vertical space; at the same time, the partition plate can be adjusted laterally or its quantity can be increased or decreased through the cooperation of the insert and adjustment slot. This design enables the storage box to adapt to special-shaped items such as long strips, irregular shapes, and oversized items, as well as the centralized storage of multiple small items, effectively avoiding delivery failures caused by mismatched item sizes, and significantly improving the robot's ability to handle complex orders;

[0016] The shelves and dividers are staggered and adjustable, allowing for dynamic planning of storage space based on order type. For multiple small packages from the same user, a larger storage area can be created by reducing the number of dividers and increasing the spacing between shelves. If large items need to be delivered to different users, some shelves can be removed to utilize vertical space for loading. This flexible space combination avoids the waste of resources caused by "large compartments for small items" or "small compartments not being able to hold large items," significantly increasing the capacity of items delivered per trip, reducing the number of robot trips, and lowering operating costs.

[0017] Furthermore, the optimized storage box design allows the robot to carry more different types of items at once, reducing delivery trips and shortening user waiting time. At the same time, the reasonable space planning makes it easier for users to quickly find and retrieve their items, avoiding inconvenience caused by cluttered spaces, thereby improving user satisfaction and experience with the delivery service.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, a residential delivery robot with a storage box includes a residential delivery robot body 1, a storage box body 2 on the residential delivery robot body 1, and a double-door box 3 at the front end of the storage box body 2. The interior of the storage box body 2 has several storage boards 4 and partitions 6. The storage boards 4 are fixedly connected to the support plates 8 on both sides of the inner wall of the storage box body 2 through connecting mechanisms 5 on both sides of the top surface. The connecting mechanism 5 includes a bidirectional screw 13, a movable plate 16 and a locking block 18. The bidirectional screw 13 is movably connected to the top surface of the storage board 4 through rotating rods 14 at both ends. The two movable plates 16 are movably connected to the bidirectional screw 13 through screw holes 17 on the side wall. The locking block 18 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the movable plate 16. The partitions 6 are fixedly connected to the storage box body 2 through inserts 19 on the top and bottom surfaces. The partitions 6 are vertical and are staggered with the horizontally positioned storage boards 4 through strip openings 20 on the side wall.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, several support trays 8 are fixedly installed in a vertical array on the left and right side walls inside the storage box body 2. A set of symmetrical slots 9 are opened on the top surface of the support trays 8. The two end walls of the support trays 8 are respectively opened with slots 10 that communicate with the slots 9. The support trays 8 can provide support and positioning base for the shelf 4. The slots 9 and slots 10 provide space and connection points for the installation and fixing of the shelf 4. By setting multiple support trays 8, support positions of different heights can be conveniently set inside the storage box body 2 according to actual needs, providing multiple options for the installation of components such as the shelf 4, and increasing the flexibility of the internal space utilization of the storage box body 2.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the bottom surface of the storage box body 2 is also provided with several adjustment slots 7 arranged in a horizontal array. The adjustment slots 7 provide positioning and fixing positions for the installation of the divider 6. By cooperating with the insert strips 19 on the divider 6, the divider 6 can be installed and its position adjusted at the bottom of the storage box body 2. The multiple adjustment slots 7 allow the divider 6 to be installed at different positions at the bottom of the storage box body 2, so that the internal partition space of the storage box body 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the stored items, thereby improving the efficiency and rationality of storage.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the top surface of the shelf 4 has a set of symmetrical vertical openings 11, and the front and rear end walls of the vertical openings 11 are respectively provided with rotating holes 12. The vertical openings 11 provide installation space for components such as the bidirectional screw 13 and the movable plate 16, while the rotating holes 12 provide support and positioning for the rotation of the rotating rod 14, so that the bidirectional screw 13 can rotate on the shelf 4.

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, rotating rods 14 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bidirectional screw 13, and the rotating rods 14 are movably installed in the rotating holes 12. A knob 15 is also fixedly installed on the front wall of the front rotating rod 14. A set of symmetrical movable plates 16 are provided, and screw holes 17 are opened on the side wall of the movable plates 16 and are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 13 through the screw holes 17. A locking block 18 is fixedly installed on the opposite side wall of the symmetrical movable plates 16, and the locking block 18 is inserted into the locking slot 10. When the knob 15 is rotated, the bidirectional screw 13 is driven. Rotation, since the bidirectional screw 13 and the movable plate 16 are threadedly connected through the screw hole 17, and the threads at both ends of the bidirectional screw 13 are in opposite directions, the movable plate 16 will move along the bidirectional screw 13 in opposite directions, thereby realizing the insertion or removal of the locking block 18 into the locking slot 10, and thus realizing the installation and removal of the storage plate 4 on the support plate 8, making the installation and removal of the storage plate 4 convenient and quick. Users can flexibly adjust the position and quantity of the storage plate 4 according to actual needs, improving the flexibility and convenience of using the internal space of the storage box body 2;

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the top and bottom surfaces of the divider 6 are respectively fixedly equipped with inserts 19 corresponding to the adjustment slots 7, and the side wall of the divider 6 is also provided with a strip-shaped opening 20 corresponding to the support plate 8. The inserts 19 are inserted into the adjustment slots 7 to realize the installation and fixation of the divider 6 at the bottom of the storage box body 2; the strip-shaped opening 20 allows the shelf 4 to pass through, so that the divider 6 can be installed smoothly when the shelf 4 is present, and does not affect the use of the shelf 4.

[0032] The specific operating principle of this residential delivery robot with a storage box is as follows:

[0033] When using this robot for item delivery, first plan the internal space of the storage box 2 according to the size, shape, and order type of the items to be delivered. If the items are long, irregularly shaped, or oversized, or if the same user has multiple small packages that need to be stored together, the internal space of the storage box 2 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0034] For the shelf 4, according to the height requirements of the items, place the shelf 4 on the support plate 8 at a suitable height, so that the movable plates 16 with locking blocks 18 protruding from both sides of the bottom surface of the shelf 4 are inserted into the corresponding slots 9 opened on the top surface of the support plate 8. Then, rotate the knobs 15 located on both sides of the front end of the shelf 4. The knobs 15 will drive the rotating rods 14 at both ends of the bidirectional screw 13 to drill holes in the rotating holes 12, and the rotating rods 14 will drive the bidirectional screw 13 to rotate. Since the symmetrical movable plates 16 are threadedly connected through the screw holes 17 opened on the side wall, the two movable plates 16 will move in opposite directions through the screw holes 17 along the bidirectional screw 13 in the vertical opening 11 and the slots 9 until the locking blocks 18 installed on the outer side wall of the movable plates 16 are inserted into the slots 10. At this time, the shelf 4 can be fixed in the storage box body 2, and the shelf 4 can be fixed at different heights in the storage box body 2, realizing the free adjustment of the vertical space.

[0035] For the divider 6, according to the horizontal dimensions of the items and the order type, insert the strips 19 on the top and bottom surfaces of the divider 6 into the appropriate adjustment slots 7 on the bottom surface inside the storage box body 2, so as to realize the installation and horizontal position adjustment of the divider 6 at the bottom of the storage box body 2. At the same time, the strip opening 20 on the side wall of the divider 6 allows the shelf 4 to pass through, so that the divider 6 is not obstructed by the shelf 4 during installation, and the divider 6 and the shelf 4 are arranged in an alternating manner after installation.

[0036] For multiple small packages from the same user, the number of shelves 4 and dividers 6 can be increased or decreased, and the distance between shelves 4 and dividers 6 can be adjusted to adjust the space inside the storage box 2 according to the size of the goods. The space formed by shelves 4 and dividers 6 inside the storage box 2 is used for centralized storage. If large items need to be delivered to different users, some shelves 4 or dividers 6 can be removed, and the distance between dividers 6 can be adjusted to utilize the vertical space for loading. After completing the space planning, the double doors 3 at the front of the storage box 2 are opened, and the items are placed in the corresponding positions inside the storage box 2. Then, the residential delivery robot 1 plans its path through the integrated autonomous navigation system, identifies obstacles using obstacle avoidance sensors, and can take the elevator to the user's doorstep when necessary. Upon arrival, the robot interacts with the user through an intelligent interactive module to complete the handover of items. This flexible space combination avoids the waste of resources caused by "large compartments for small items" or "small compartments not being able to hold large items," significantly increasing the capacity of items delivered per trip, reducing the number of robot trips, and lowering operating costs. At the same time, the optimized storage box design allows the robot to carry more different types of items at once, reducing delivery trips and shortening user waiting time. The reasonable space planning makes it easy for users to quickly find and retrieve their items, improving user satisfaction and experience with the delivery service.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, various improvements can be made to it without departing from the scope of the present utility model, and components can be replaced with equivalents or some technical features can be replaced with equivalents. All such improvements within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
