Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of express delivery robot technology, specifically to an express delivery robot suitable for door-to-door pickup in buildings. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the rapid development of e-commerce, the express delivery and logistics industry is facing ever-increasing demand. Especially in high-rise residential or office buildings, door-to-door pickup has become a common service model. However, traditional manual pickup methods have many problems: high labor costs, low efficiency, significant susceptibility to weather and traffic conditions, and a high risk of delays or incorrect deliveries during peak periods. Furthermore, the complex building environment, including narrow corridors, elevator limitations, and multiple staircases, further increases the difficulty and risk of manual pickup. In recent years, intelligent robot technology has begun to be applied to the logistics and distribution field. Some express delivery robots have achieved autonomous navigation and basic storage functions, aiming to address these pain points.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN217097758U discloses a building-based intelligent delivery robot using a smart car. The robot includes a vehicle body, with an infrared obstacle avoider fixed to one end. A turntable is rotatably connected to the top surface of the vehicle body near the infrared obstacle avoider. A robotic arm is fixed to the top surface of the turntable, and a small ladder mechanism is fixed to the end of the robotic arm. A clamp is fixed to the end of the small ladder mechanism, and a high-definition camera is fixed to the end of the clamp. A cargo storage box is fixed to the top surface of the vehicle body away from the turntable, and digital buttons are fixed to the top surface of the cargo storage box. This delivery robot performs unmanned delivery within buildings. The small ladder mechanism at the end of the robotic arm enables the clamp to rise and fall, facilitating the pressing of elevator buttons at different locations without relying on external control equipment. Furthermore, the high-definition camera is mounted on the clamp, increasing its shooting range.

[0004] However, this delivery robot cannot adapt to the storage needs of packages of different sizes. For example, for small packages (such as easily rolling spherical items or bulk fresh produce), the cargo storage box has a fixed structure and cannot adjust the spatial layout, which makes the packages easy to move and collide during transportation, causing damage or displacement and affecting the stability of transportation.

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model discloses a delivery robot suitable for door-to-door pickup in buildings. This solves the problems of existing building delivery robots being unable to adapt to the storage needs of packages of different sizes and lacking space adjustment to restrict package movement, thus achieving stable and safe delivery of packages. It includes:

[0006] Mobile chassis;

[0007] The fuselage is mounted on a mobile chassis.

[0008] The storage component is located on the device body and includes multiple storage compartments. Adjustment components are installed in the storage compartments to restrict the movement of packages within the compartments.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment components include:

[0015] The telescopic pole is installed on bracket one and / or bracket two, and the output end of the telescopic pole is connected to the scissor hinge of the scissor-type telescopic pole.

[0016] Furthermore, multiple storage compartments are arranged in an array, and each storage compartment has a locking device for independently controlling the storage and retrieval of packages.

[0017] Furthermore, a temperature control device is installed inside the storage compartment to regulate the temperature inside the compartment to meet the storage requirements of the parcels.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a human-computer interaction unit, which is installed on the machine body and is used to interact with users or building management systems to realize the storage and retrieval scheduling of express mail, user authentication, or reception of operation instructions.

[0019] Furthermore, the human-computer interaction unit includes an identity verification module and an interactive interface. The identity verification module is used to collect user identity information and verify the identity of the sender or recipient to ensure the secure storage and retrieval of the package. The interactive interface is used to display package storage and retrieval information or receive user operation instructions to assist in the scheduling or storage and retrieval of the package.

[0020] Furthermore, the machine is equipped with sensing components, which are used to collect environmental or navigation information within the building to assist in the movement of the mobile chassis or the storage and retrieval of packages.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] Example:

[0034] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a delivery robot suitable for door-to-door pickup in buildings, comprising:

[0036] Mobile chassis 10;

[0037] The body 11 is mounted on the top of the mobile chassis 10;

[0038] Storage component 12 is disposed on the body 11. Storage component 12 includes multiple storage compartments 13. An adjustment component 16 is installed in the storage compartment 13 to restrict the movement of express items in the storage compartment 13.

[0039] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0040] This utility model discloses a delivery robot suitable for door-to-door package pickup in buildings. The mobile chassis 10 moves autonomously within the building along a pre-planned path. The body 11 serves as a carrier to fix the storage component 12. Storage compartments 13 are used to store packages. An adjustment component 16 uses a mechanical structure to reduce the volume of the storage compartments 13, fixing the package's position and preventing shaking and collisions during transport. This utility model provides a delivery robot suitable for door-to-door package pickup in buildings, achieving autonomous package pickup within buildings, improving efficiency. The adjustment component 16 effectively restricts package movement and prevents collision damage.

[0041] In other embodiments, the adjustment component 16 can also be abutted against the package by an independent telescopic structure (such as a scissor telescopic structure) to fix the position of the package. Of course, in this embodiment, the end of the telescopic structure used to abut against the package is provided with a flexible abutment block to avoid damaging the package when the telescopic structure is in operation.

[0042] The aforementioned scissor-type telescopic structure occupies little space and can be directly installed inside the storage compartment 13 without affecting the use of other storage compartments 13.

[0043] It is worth noting that in some other embodiments, the adjustment component 16 can also adjust the spatial layout within the storage compartment 13 by changing the position of the partition or the volume of the elastic airbag. When adjusting the spatial layout within the storage compartment 13 using the partition, it is only necessary to set multiple sets of slots at equal intervals within the storage compartment 13. The spacing between each set of slots can be 20-40mm. After the package is placed in the storage compartment 13, the partition is inserted into the corresponding slot to ensure that the partition can restrict the movement of the package within the storage compartment 13. It is convenient and quick. The partition has a flexible abutment block at one end for receiving the package. When the elastic airbag is used to adjust the space layout inside the storage compartment 13, the elastic airbag is installed inside the storage compartment 13. The elastic airbag has an independent micro pump to inflate and deflate the elastic airbag. After the package is placed in the storage compartment 13, the micro pump inflates the elastic airbag until the elastic airbag is in contact with the surface of the package to restrict the movement of the package inside the storage compartment 13. The adjustment is highly accurate, and because it is in flexible contact with the package, it protects the package well.

[0044] In one embodiment, the regulating component 16 includes:

[0045] A fixed housing 17 is installed inside the storage compartment 13;

[0046] An adjusting shell 18 is provided, with a fixed shell 17 sleeved on one end of the adjusting shell 18, and an adjusting plate 19 installed on the other end of the adjusting shell 18.

[0047] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0048] By adjusting the extension length of the adjusting shell 18 on the fixed shell 17, the volume inside the storage compartment 13 decreases as the adjusting shell 17 extends. Small packages are confined to the inner wall of the storage compartment 13 by the adjusting plate 19, thus restricting the movement of the packages. The adjusting shell 18 and the fixed shell 17 can be fixedly connected by a latch, or multiple locking holes can be arranged at equal intervals on the adjusting shell 18. After the adjusting shell 18 is adjusted to a suitable position, the locking rod installed on the fixed shell 17 and the locking holes are used to achieve a fixed connection between the adjusting shell 18 and the fixed shell 17.

[0049] In one embodiment, a telescopic device 20 is included, which is installed between the fixed housing 17 and the adjusting housing 18. The telescopic device 20 includes:

[0050] A scissor-type telescopic rod 21, one end of which is connected to the adjusting shell 18 via a bracket 22, and the other end of which is connected to the fixed shell 17 via a bracket 23.

[0051] Telescopic rod 24 is mounted on bracket 1 22 and / or bracket 2 23. The output end of the telescopic rod 24 is connected to the scissor hinge of the scissor telescopic rod 21. The telescopic rod 24 is an electric telescopic rod.

[0052] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0053] When the telescopic rod 24 extends, its output end pushes forward the scissor hinge of the scissor-type telescopic rod 21, thereby extending the scissor-type telescopic rod 21 and causing the adjusting shell 17 to extend on the fixed shell 17. The two ends of the scissor-type telescopic rod 21 are limited between bracket 1 22 and bracket 23, and are connected to the adjusting shell 18 and the fixed shell 17 respectively through bracket 1 22 and bracket 23. Conversely, when the telescopic rod 24 retracts, its output end pulls backward the scissor hinge of the scissor-type telescopic rod 21, thereby retracting the scissor-type telescopic rod 21 and causing the adjusting shell 17 to retract on the fixed shell 17.

[0054] In another embodiment of this implementation, the telescopic device 20 may be simply a telescopic rod 24. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 24 is mounted on the fixed housing 17, and the output end of the telescopic rod 24 is connected to the adjusting housing 18. The telescopic rod 24 can drive the adjusting housing 18 to perform telescopic movements on the fixed housing 17.

[0055] In one embodiment, a plurality of the storage compartments 13 are arranged in an array, and each of the storage compartments 13 has an independent locking device for independently controlling the access of the parcels.

[0056] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0057] Storage compartment 13 is arranged in a matrix array to optimize space utilization; each storage compartment is opened and closed individually by a control signal (such as password input) to achieve precise access. The locking device is an electromagnetic lock controlled by an electrical signal, and the electromagnetic lock is activated to open and close after the user is successfully authenticated by the identity verification module.

[0058] In other embodiments of this application, the locking device may also be an electronic lock, which can be opened and closed by a password or QR code and supports remote authorization.

[0059] In one embodiment, a temperature control device 14 is provided in the storage compartment 13, which is used to adjust the temperature in the storage compartment 13 to meet the storage requirements of the express mail.

[0060] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0061] The temperature control device 14 regulates the temperature inside the storage compartment 13. For items requiring low-temperature storage (such as fresh produce), the temperature control device 14 lowers the temperature inside the storage compartment 13 to a low temperature for fresh produce storage. The storage assembly 12 adopts a full-compartment temperature control scheme, with each storage compartment 13 equipped with a temperature control device 14, such as a semiconductor cooling chip or a high-capacity cooling compressor refrigeration system. This device is selectively activated by a control module (such as a microprocessor) to achieve room temperature or low-temperature storage. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the storage assembly 12 can also adopt a specific storage compartment scheme, with at least one specific storage compartment equipped with a dedicated temperature control device 14 for low-temperature storage of fresh produce, while the remaining storage compartments maintain room temperature. The temperature control device 14 can also be a PTC heating element or an electric heating wire for storing items requiring a temperature above room temperature, such as hot meals, hot drinks, or baked goods.

[0062] In another embodiment of this scheme, to save space within the storage compartment 13, a temperature control device 14 is installed inside the adjusting shell 18 near the adjusting plate 19. The temperature control device is a thermoelectric cooler, with its cold end resting against the adjusting plate 19. A cooling fan 26 and a heat dissipation plate 27 are installed inside the fixed shell 17 near the inner wall of the storage compartment 13 to facilitate heat dissipation from the hot end of the thermoelectric cooler. The cold end of the thermoelectric cooler transfers cold air from the adjusting plate 19 to the storage compartment 13 as a cold source, while the cooling fan 26 operates to expel heat from the hot end of the thermoelectric cooler through the heat dissipation plate 27.

[0063] In one embodiment, a human-computer interaction unit 15 is also included. The human-computer interaction unit 15 is installed on the top of the body 11. The human-computer interaction unit 15 is used to interact with users or building management systems to realize the storage and retrieval scheduling of express mail, user authentication, or receiving of operation instructions.

[0064] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0065] The human-computer interaction unit 15 connects to the equipment or building management system via wireless communication (such as WiFi), receives operation instructions (such as voice input "open the storage compartment") or verifies identity (such as scanning a QR code), and schedules the storage and retrieval of express packages, which improves the security of user interaction, avoids unauthorized access, and enhances the convenience of package retrieval.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the human-computer interaction unit 15 may also be located at the front end of the body 11 in the walking direction, and this application does not limit this.

[0067] In one embodiment, the human-computer interaction unit 15 includes an identity verification module and an interactive interface. The identity verification module is used to collect user identity information and verify the identity of the sender or recipient to ensure the secure storage and retrieval of the package. The interactive interface is used to display package storage and retrieval information or receive user operation instructions to assist in the scheduling or storage and retrieval of the package.

[0068] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0069] The identity verification module collects information via a code reader or verification code input device, compares it with pre-stored data, and after successful verification, the interactive interface displays confirmation information or receives instructions, allowing storage compartment 13 to perform storage and retrieval operations. This enhances the contactless and convenient nature of identity verification and prevents theft; the interactive interface improves user experience, supports multi-mode operation (such as visual / voice), and is suitable for high-traffic building scenarios.

[0070] When the identity verification module is a barcode reader, the user generates a dynamic QR code (containing user ID and timestamp) through a specific APP. After scanning and parsing, the barcode reader compares it with the dispatch platform. Once the verification is successful, it displays "Identity confirmed, package pickup successful".

[0071] When the identity verification module is a verification code input device, the dispatch platform sends an SMS verification code to the user's mobile phone. The user enters or reads the verification code aloud, and after comparison, a voice prompt says "Identity confirmed, package pickup successful".

[0072] In one embodiment, the mobile chassis 10 is a six-wheeled chassis.

[0073] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the mobile chassis 10 may also be a tracked chassis (with flexible tracks) or a multi-wheeled chassis, whichever is appropriate according to the requirements.

[0074] In one embodiment, a sensing component is installed on the chassis 11. The sensing component is used to collect environmental information or navigation information within the building to assist in the movement of the mobile chassis 10 or the storage and retrieval of express packages.

[0075] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0076] The sensing components consist of a camera and a locator. The camera is used to collect image information within the building to assist in path planning or location retrieval, and to confirm the user's location. The locator is used to determine the location of the delivery robot within the building.

[0077] In other embodiments of this application, the sensing component may also be a lidar for environmental scanning.

[0078] In one embodiment, a collision protection device is installed on the mobile chassis 10.

[0079] As an optional embodiment of this application, this embodiment also discloses a building delivery system, including:

[0080] As described above, delivery robots are suitable for door-to-door pickup in buildings;

[0081] The dispatch management platform allows the courier robot to transmit the collected package information or location information to the platform, which then dispatches the courier robot to perform pickup or delivery tasks based on the information.

[0082] The building management system is connected to the human-computer interaction unit 15 and / or the scheduling management platform to interact with the delivery robot to achieve linkage control of elevators, access control or paths within the building.

[0083] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
