Therefore, the optimum temperature information for each food stored in the storage means 610 is information about the optimum temperature for each food that can produce an optimal taste, and the control unit 700 uses the optimum temperature information for each food stored in the storage means 610 . By operating the heating/cooling means 400, the first space portion and the second space portion in which the delivered food is stored to a temperature at which the delivered food can taste the best is heated or cooled, respectively.

The control unit 700 is configured to control the temperature of the first space 200 and the second space 300 through the heating/cooling means 400 so that the delivered food is delivered to the delivery site at an optimum temperature.

First, the control unit 700 calculates the delivery destination arrival time of the delivered food using the delivery destination information stored in the storage means (610).

For example, in the case of delivering two food to two delivery destinations, the estimated time of arrival to the #1 delivery destination (eg, using the #1 delivery destination information stored in the storage means 610 (eg, A apartment B Building C)) : 20 minutes) and #2 delivery destination information (eg D apartment building E, room F), calculate the estimated time of arrival to delivery destination #2 (eg 30 minutes).

In this case, the controller 700 may calculate the expected arrival time of the delivery destination by reflecting the traffic conditions using the navigation system when calculating the expected arrival time of the delivery destination.

In addition, the control unit 700 derives the optimal temperature information of the delivered food by using the delivery food information stored in the storage means 610 and the optimal temperature information for each food.

For example, if the delivered food is sashimi, the optimum temperature is calculated as 5°C, and if the delivered food is soup and noodles, 60°C is calculated as the optimum temperature.

In general, food tastes best when the right temperature is maintained. For example, rice may be at 45°C, soup and noodles at 60°C, tea at 70°C, hot coffee at 80°C, cold noodles at 10°C, sashimi at 5°C, ice cream at -6°C, and the like.

As described above, since optimum temperature information for each food is stored in the storage means 610, the control unit 700 can derive optimum temperature information of the delivered foods using the optimum temperature information for each food stored in the storage means 610. there will be

When information on the expected arrival time of the delivery destination of the delivered food and the optimal temperature information of the delivered food is derived, the controller 700 operates the Peltier element as the heating/cooling means 400 to operate the first space 200 or the second space 300 ) so that the temperature of the delivered food becomes the optimal temperature of the derived food, so that the delivered food is heated or cooled.

In particular, the time of heating the first space portion 200 or cooling the second space portion 300 is characterized in that before the expected arrival time of the delivery destination of the food. To this end, as shown in FIG. 6 , the present invention is installed in each of the first space 200 and the second space 300 to sense the temperature, and provides the sensed temperature information to the controller 700 . It may be configured to further include a temperature sensor 800 .

Calculate the time, and operate the Peltier element, which is the heating/cooling means 400, from the time point after subtracting the heating time or cooling time calculated from the expected arrival time of the delivery destination, and after the Peltier element operation, the temperature sensor 800 When the temperature information provided by ) becomes the optimum temperature of the food delivered, the heating/cooling means 400 in operation stops the Peltier element.

For example, if the delivery food is chicken with an optimum temperature of 75°C, the heating time from the current temperature inside the delivery box (eg 20°C) to the target temperature (optimum temperature for chicken) of 75°C is 5 minutes. It is calculated, and when the expected arrival time of the chicken delivery place is 15:00, it is to control to operate the Peltier element, which is the heating/cooling means 400, from 14:55, which is 5 minutes before the expected arrival time of 15 o'clock.

After operating the Peltier element, when the temperature information provided by the temperature sensor 800 reaches 75° C. (optimum temperature of chicken), the Peltier element, which is the heating/cooling means 400 in operation, is stopped.

That is, when heating/cooling delivered foods, instead of heating/cooling from the beginning of delivery, heating/cooling of delivered foods is started at a certain time before the arrival of the delivery destination, and the temperature inside the delivery box is the optimum temperature of the delivered food. When it does, it stops heating/cooling of the delivered food to reduce unnecessary power consumption.

In addition, when the first space unit 200 and the second space unit 300 each consist of a plurality of storage spaces, the control unit 700 uses the delivery destination information among the delivery information stored in the storage means 610 . Calculating the estimated delivery time of the delivered food, respectively, deriving the optimal temperature information of the delivered food from the optimal temperature information for each food stored in the storage means 610, respectively, the calculated delivery destination arrival time and the derived delivery By using the optimum temperature information of the food, the Peltier element, which is the heating / cooling means 400 installed in response to the storage space where the delivery food is located, is operated before the expected arrival time of the delivery destination of the delivery food to operate the storage space in which the delivery food is located.

Calculate the heating time or cooling time for each storage space to reach the optimum temperature of the delivered food, and respond to each storage space from the time point of subtracting the heating or cooling time calculated for each storage space from the estimated arrival time of the delivered food to individually operate the Peltier elements, which are individually installed heating / cooling means 400, and after the Peltier element operation, when the temperature information provided by the temperature sensor 800 becomes the optimum temperature of the delivered food, the heating / cooling means in operation ( 400) to individually stop the Peltier elements.

For example, if the delivery food is chicken with an optimum temperature of 75°C and cold noodles with an optimum temperature of 10°C, the target temperature (optimum temperature for chicken) 75 at the current temperature (eg 20°C) of the storage space where the chicken is stored The heating time to reach ℃ is calculated as 5 minutes, the expected arrival time for chicken delivery is 15:00, and the target temperature (optimal temperature for naengmyeon) 10℃ from the current temperature (eg 20℃) of the storage space where the naengmyeon is stored. If the cooling time is calculated as 4 minutes, and the expected arrival time of the cold noodle delivery destination is 15:20, the heating installed in response to the storage space where the chicken is stored from 14:55, which is 5 minutes before the expected arrival time of the chicken / Operate the Peltier element, which is the cooling means 400, and the Peltier element, which is the heating / cooling means 400, installed in response to the storage space where the cold noodles are stored from 15:16, 4 minutes before the expected arrival time of 15:20. to control it to operate.

After operating the Peltier element, when the temperature information provided by the temperature sensor 800 installed in response to the storage space in which the chicken is stored reaches 75 ° C (optimum temperature of chicken), it is installed and operated in response to the storage space in which the chicken is stored When the temperature information provided by the temperature sensor 800 installed corresponding to the storage space in which the cold noodles are stored is 10 ° C (optimal temperature of cold noodles), the cold noodles are stored by stopping the Peltier element, which is the heating / cooling means 400 in progress. Stops the Peltier element, which is a heating/cooling means 400 that is installed and operated corresponding to the storage space.

That is, when heating/cooling delivered foods, instead of heating/cooling from the beginning of delivery, heating/cooling of delivered foods is started at a certain time before the arrival of the delivery destination, and the temperature inside the delivery box is the optimum temperature of the delivered food. When it does, it stops heating/cooling of the delivered food to reduce unnecessary power consumption.

In addition, when the first space unit 200 and the second space unit 300 each consist of a plurality of storage spaces, the control unit 700 uses the storage space location information of the delivered food stored in the storage means 610 . , It is characterized in that only the Peltier element installed corresponding to the storage space in which the food delivery is being stored, among a plurality of Peltier elements that are heating/cooling means 400 operates.

For example, soup and chicken, which are hot delivery foods, are stored in the storage spaces H-1 and H-2 in the delivery box 100, respectively, and cold noodles, naengmyeon, are stored in the storage space C-1 in the delivery box 100. In this case, only the Peltier elements installed corresponding to the H-1 and C-1 storage spaces and the Peltier elements installed corresponding to the H-2 storage spaces are operated.

That is, the Peltier devices installed in response to the storage space in which the delivered food is not stored do not operate, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption.

On the other hand, the control unit 700 uses the delivered food information stored in the storage means 610 to determine whether the delivered food is fresh food to be maintained in the first state, and if the delivered food is fresh food, to the storage means 610 . A heating/cooling means ( 400) is characterized in that it operates the Peltier element.

The cold food stored and transported in the second space 300 may be food that can be cooled to an optimal temperature before a certain time before arrival to the delivery destination or food that must be maintained at an optimal temperature from the beginning of delivery according to characteristics.

For example, foods such as ice cream, sashimi, sushi, etc. are foods that must be maintained at an optimum temperature from the beginning of delivery, that is, fresh foods. If fresh foods such as ice cream, sashimi, and sushi are not kept at the optimum temperature from the beginning of delivery, they may melt or deteriorate. Should be.

To this end, when the cold food delivered using the delivery food information stored in the storage means 610 and the optimal temperature information for each food is fresh food (eg, ice cream), from the time of departure to the time of arrival of the second space unit 300 The Peltier element as the heating/cooling means 400 is operated so that the temperature is maintained at the optimum temperature (eg, -6°C) of the corresponding fresh food (eg, ice cream).

In addition, when the first space unit 200 and the second space unit 300 each consist of a plurality of storage spaces, the control unit 700 uses the delivery food information stored in the storage means 610 to control the second space unit. Among the delivered food stored and transported in 300, it is determined whether there is fresh food, and if there is fresh food, the optimum temperature information for each food stored in the storage means 610 and the location information in the delivery box 100 of the delivered food are used The optimum temperature information of the fresh food and the location information of the storage space on the second space unit 300 in which the fresh food is stored are identified, It is characterized in that the Peltier element, which is a heating/cooling means 400 installed corresponding to the storage space, is operated so that the temperature is maintained at the optimum temperature of the identified fresh food.

For example, when cold noodles are stored in the storage space C-1 on the second space 300 and ice cream is stored and transported in C-2, the second space 300 using the delivery food information stored in the storage means 610 . ) among the delivered food stored and transported, it is determined that there is fresh food (ice cream), and when it is determined that there is fresh food, the optimal temperature information for each food stored in the storage means 610 and the delivery box 100 of the delivered food Using my location information, the optimum temperature information of ice cream, which is the fresh food, of -6° C. and the location information C-2 of the storage space in the second space unit 300 in which the fresh food is stored are identified.
