Specific details for implementing the invention

[0011] Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted, and similar parts throughout the specification are denoted by similar reference numerals.

[0012] Throughout the specification, when a part is described as being "connected" to another part, this includes not only cases where they are "directly connected," but also cases where they are "electrically connected" with other components interposed between them. Furthermore, when a part is described as "including" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0013] In this specification, the term "part" includes a unit realized by hardware, a unit realized by software, and a unit realized using both. Additionally, one unit may be realized using two or more hardware, and two or more units may be realized by one hardware.

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0015] FIG. 1 is an exemplary drawing of a fruit basket transport mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the above, the vehicle body may include a driving unit, a control unit, a basket transport unit, a transport rail, a transport moving unit, a basket fixing unit, a storage unit, a side frame unit, a main body connecting unit connecting groove, and a connecting protrusion. However, since the configuration of the fruit basket transport mobility of FIG. 1 is merely an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not to be interpreted as being limited by FIG. 1, and may be configured differently from FIG. 1 according to various embodiments of the present invention.

[0016] The vehicle body can be driven with a fruit basket loaded by the user.

[0017] A fruit basket is a basket filled with fruit, but it is not limited to fruit only.

[0018] The driving unit is configured to allow the vehicle body to travel on the ground and is formed at the bottom of the vehicle body, and may include a power battery.

[0019] For example, the drive unit includes a high-capacity lithium-ion battery to supply power for long-term operation, and includes omnidirectional wheels to move nimbly even in narrow passages.

[0020] Figure 2 is a control configuration diagram of a fruit basket transport mobility.

[0021] The control unit can control the driving unit of the vehicle body to be driven by the user and can control the basket carrying unit to be moved by the user.

[0022] For example, the control unit can operate when a user pulls or pushes by collecting and analyzing sensor data in real time through a load cell or pressure sensor included in the basket fixing clamp or rail handle of the basket carrier. Through this, the basket carrier automatically moves along the rail to a designated position and stops immediately when the user stops pulling.

[0023] In addition, the control unit detects minute movements by the user attempting to change direction through the gyroscope and accelerometer included in the basket fixing clamp or rail handle portion of the basket carrier, and when the user applies force in a specific direction, the gyroscope measures the rotation direction and angle, and the corresponding data is transmitted to the control unit, allowing the control unit to operate the basket carrier to move it in the designated direction.

[0024] In addition, for example, the control unit detects minute movements of a user attempting to change direction through a gyroscope and an accelerometer included on one side of the vehicle body. When the user applies force in a specific direction, the gyroscope measures the direction of rotation and angle, and the corresponding data is transmitted to the control unit, and the control unit can operate the motor of the driving unit to move in a designated direction.

[0025] In addition, the control unit may include a speed control module that finely adjusts the motor speed to switch between low and high speeds depending on the user's operation intensity.

[0026] In addition, the control unit may include an intelligent braking system capable of stopping the mobility immediately when user input disappears.

[0027] FIGS. 3 and 4 are exemplary drawings showing a basket carrying part and a storage part of a fruit basket transport mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. With reference to the above, the description is as follows.

[0028] The basket carrier can combine a fruit basket to load or store it inside the vehicle body.

[0029] The basket conveyor may include a conveyor rail, a conveyor moving device, and a basket fixing device.

[0030] The transport rails are located on both sides of the storage section, and each rail can be formed by intersecting vertically and horizontally.

[0031] The transport mechanism includes a roller driven by a motor that can be fixedly moved on the transport rail, allowing it to move along the transport rail.

[0032] The transport device may include a sensor that detects the user's force and the direction of the force.

[0033] For example, the transport mechanism can detect minute movements by the user attempting to change direction through gyroscopes and accelerometers, or detect force through load cells or pressure sensors. The motor accelerates or decelerates depending on the direction the user pulls, the speed can be controlled based on sensor input, and it can automatically stop when it reaches a designated position or when the user stops applying force.

[0034] One side of the basket fixing device is fixed to the transport device, and it can be formed to protrude so that the basket can be attached.

[0035] The basket fixing device may include a clamp to allow the basket to be joined.

[0036] The storage compartment forms a space in the center of the vehicle body so that fruit baskets can be loaded or stored.

[0037] The storage compartment may further include side frame sections, which are guards protecting both sides of the vehicle body.

[0039] FIGS. 5 and 6 are exemplary drawings showing a main body connection part of a fruit basket transport mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention, and will be described with reference thereto.

[0040] The main body connecting portion is formed at the front and rear of the vehicle main body so that the front and rear of multiple vehicle main bodies are connected, allowing multiple vehicles to move as a single unit.

[0041] The main body connection part may include a connection groove on the front or rear of the vehicle body, and a connection protrusion on the corresponding opposite side.

[0042] The connecting groove can be joined by inserting a connecting protrusion into the groove shape.

[0043] The connecting protrusion has a protruding central part that can be inserted into the connecting groove to be joined.

[0044] FIG. 7 is an exemplary drawing showing another use of the main body connecting part of a fruit basket transport mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the figure, the connecting protrusion protrudes enough for a user to climb up, so that the user can perform tasks requiring height.

[0046] The foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will understand that other specific forms can be easily modified without altering the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single unit may be implemented in a distributed manner, and components described as distributed may likewise be implemented in a combined form.

[0047] The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims set forth below rather than by the detailed description, and all modifications or variations derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and equivalent concepts thereof should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the present invention.
