Detailed ways

Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same symbols are assigned to the same components, and repeated descriptions are omitted. In addition, the drawings are only schematic diagrams, and the ratio of dimensions between components or the shapes of components may be different from actual ones.

As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the present application provides a robot 1 with a storage bin, which is used to perform a distribution task, and in particular can be used to perform a task of recycling tableware. The robot 1 with a storage bin includes a robot body 10 and a storage bin 20. The storage bin 20 is provided in the robot body 10. The storage bin 20 includes a first storage bin 21 and a second storage bin 22. The first storage bin 21 is disposed above the second storage bin 22.

Optionally, the aforementioned first storage bin 21 is disposed above the second storage bin 22, which means that the robot 1 is standing naturally, and the first storage bin 21 is located on the side of the second storage bin 22 away from the ground. Or, at any other angle, the first storage bin 21 is located on the side of the second storage bin 22 away from the mobile chassis 30.

The first storage bin 21 has a bottom 211. The bottom 211 has a first diversion hole 2111. The second storage bin 22 has a second diversion hole 2211. The first diversion hole 2111 is in communication with the second diversion hole 2211. The second storage bin 22 is detachably installed with the robot body 10. In this case, when the object loaded in the first storage bin 21 has liquid flowing out, it can flow into the second storage bin 22 through the first diversion hole 2111 and through the second diversion hole 2211, and the second storage bin 22 can interact with The body is separated to lead out the liquid in the second storage bin 22, so that no pollution will be caused to the first storage bin 21.

As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the bottom 211 has a recess. The first diversion hole 2111 is provided on the bottom surface of the recess. In this case, the liquid in the first storage bin 21 flows to the first diversion hole 2111 in the recessed portion by gravity, and flows into the second storage bin through the second diversion hole 2211.

In some examples, the bottom 211 may be generally funnel-shaped. The first diversion hole 2111 is provided in the center of the bottom 211. As a result, the first diversion hole 2111 is located at the center of the funnel-shaped bottom, so that the liquid can easily flow out.

As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the second storage bin 22 is provided with a liquid outlet 222 and a cover 223. The cover 223 removably closes the liquid outlet 222. Thus, the liquid outlet can be opened by the lid 223 for pouring out the liquid in the second storage bin 22.

In this embodiment, the second storage bin 22 is provided with a slideway 224. The cover 223 is provided on the slide 224. Thus, the cover 223 slides on the slide 224 to close and open the liquid outlet.

In an optional embodiment, a waterproof ring may be provided between the cover 223 and the slide 224, and the waterproof ring may prevent the robot 1 from shaking or the second storage bin 22 from shaking during the process of separating from the robot 1 and causing liquid. Etc., flow out through the gap between the cover 223 and the slideway 224, or enter between the cover 223 and the slideway 224, and affect the sliding effect.

In this embodiment, the second storage bin 22 has a box shape. In this case, it is convenient to seal the second storage bin 22 and to separate the second storage bin 22 from the robot body 10.

In some examples, the second storage bin 22 may have a top and a bottom opposite to each other, and a side wall disposed between the top and the bottom. The side wall can be closed. As a result, the second storage bin 22 can have a space for containing liquid.

In some examples, the liquid outlet 222 and the cover 223 may be provided on the top.

In this embodiment, the second diversion hole 2211 may be substantially arranged in the center of the top. The second diversion hole 2211 is disposed opposite to the first diversion hole 2111. In this case, the liquid in the first storage bin 21 can flow into the second storage bin 22 through the second guide hole 2211 more easily. In addition, when the second storage compartment 22 is installed in the robot body 10, the second diversion hole 2211 and the first diversion hole 2111 can be aligned, which can prevent liquid from entering the second storage compartment 22 from the first storage compartment 21. Give way.

In this embodiment, a seal (not shown) is provided between the first diversion hole 2211 and the second diversion hole 2211. As a result, the liquid is prevented from leaking during the process of flowing to the second storage bin 22.

In some examples, the seal may be a rubber ring.

In other embodiments, the sealing member may also be a silicone ring.

In this embodiment, the second storage bin 22 is slidable on a plane perpendicular to the robot body 10. In this case, the second storage bin 22 can be slid and removed from the robot body 10.

In this embodiment, the first storage compartment 21 has a hatch cover 212. Thus, the loaded objects can be taken out through the switch compartment cover 212 or put into the first storage compartment 21.

In some examples, the robot body 10 may be provided with a rotating shaft, and the hatch cover 212 can rotate around the rotating shaft to realize the opening and closing of the hatch cover 212.

In this embodiment, the robot 1 further includes a mobile chassis 30. The robot body 10 is installed on the mobile chassis 30. Thus, the moving chassis 30 drives the robot 1 to move.

The above-mentioned embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the above implementation manners should be included in the protection scope of the technical solution.
