Background

At the present stage, goods in cities are distributed by using unmanned distribution vehicles, and the unmanned distribution vehicles are comprehensively applied to the field of intelligent logistics along with the unmanned propulsion of logistics. The speed of the unmanned distribution vehicle is about 5-10 km/h, which is obviously lower than that of the traditional express distribution vehicle, and the transportation capacity of the unmanned distribution vehicle is limited, thus leading to low distribution efficiency of the unmanned distribution vehicle. The driving range of the unmanned distribution vehicle is short, and the maximum driving range of an electric unmanned distribution vehicle is usually 30km, so that the distribution distance of the unmanned distribution vehicle is influenced, and long-distance distribution cannot be carried out. At present, no open road right exists for an independent unmanned distribution vehicle, and the unmanned distribution vehicle cannot run on a highway, so that the distribution range and the application scene of the distribution vehicle are limited, and the goods can be distributed only in some closed parks.

In addition, the city has a complete public transportation line network, and public transportation stations are distributed in places such as commercial districts, enterprises and residential points of the city. The large-scale city has special bus lanes, the capacity of the bus system is complete, two buses in the peak period line are separated by about 5 minutes, and the off-peak period is about 15 minutes. The public transport capacity is large, the speed is high, business circles, traffic hubs, enterprises and the like in cities are communicated, but the public transport operation mode is single, the passenger transport function is only exerted, the passenger flow is low in off-peak periods, and the public transport system is in a resource waste state. Particularly, the BRT bus is more serious in specific carrying waste.

However, the prior art does not comprehensively solve the operation problem of the unmanned delivery vehicles and the resource waste problem of the public transport operation.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a mounting mechanism, referring to fig. 1 to 19, including: a main body portion 10; a carrier assembly 20, wherein the carrier assembly 20 comprises an elevating part 21 and a loading part 22 for placing the unmanned delivery vehicle 30, the elevating part 21 is arranged on the main body part 10, and the loading part 22 is arranged on the elevating part 21; the lifting unit 21 is movably disposed on the main body 10 such that the loading unit 22 disposed on the lifting unit 21 has a first position for receiving the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 and a second position for moving the unmanned distribution vehicle 30.

The carrying mechanism of one embodiment of the present invention may be used for carrying the unmanned distribution vehicle 30, that is, on a road where the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 is inconvenient or incapable of running, the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 is placed on the carrying mechanism, and then is connected with a vehicle which runs reliably through the carrying mechanism, so that the vehicle drives the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 to move.

In one embodiment, the configuration of the carrying mechanism may combine the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 with a vehicle that reliably runs on a road surface, for example, in cooperation with a bus, the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 utilizes the running capability of the bus, and the bus may carry the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 to a specific station, thereby improving the utilization rate of the bus to a certain extent and increasing the running range of the unmanned distribution vehicle 30.

In one embodiment, the carrying assembly 20 is composed of an elevating portion 21 and a loading portion 22, and the elevating portion 21 can move the loading portion 22, so as to satisfy loading and unloading of the unmanned distribution vehicle 30.

In one embodiment, the lifting unit 21 is movably disposed on the main body 10, and in practical use, the lifting unit 21 may be configured as a driving structure, such as a cylinder, etc., part of which moves relative to the main body 10, so as to drive the loading unit 22.

In one embodiment, the main body 10 is configured to be movably disposed along the predetermined lane 40, and the elevating part 21 is movably disposed on the main body 10 in a direction approaching or departing from the predetermined lane 40; when the lifting unit 21 moves in a direction away from the predetermined lane 40, the loading unit 22 moves from the first position to the second position. The main function of the mounting mechanism is to mount the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 on another vehicle which normally operates, so that if the main body 10 itself can move relative to the predetermined lane 40, the driving force of the vehicle is reduced to some extent.

As shown in fig. 8, the main body 10 is provided with a moving wheel 11 for moving along a preset lane 40; when the loading part 22 is located at the first position, the loading part 22 is configured to contact the predetermined lane 40, so that the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 moves onto the loading part 22 along one end of the loading part 22 away from the lifting part 21, and when the loading part 22 is located at the second position, the loading part 22 is configured to be separated from the predetermined lane 40, so that the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 placed on the loading part 22 moves along the predetermined lane 40 along with the moving wheel 11.

In one embodiment, when the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 enters the loading part 22, the loading part 22 is located on the predetermined lane 40, that is, the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 is located closest to the loading surface of the loading part 22, thereby facilitating the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 to enter the loading surface of the loading part 22. In order to prevent the loading portion 22 from contacting the predetermined lane 40 during the movement of the main body 10, it is necessary to ensure that the loading portion 22 is separated from the predetermined lane 40.

In one embodiment, the loading portion 22 is rotatably provided on the lifting portion 21 such that the loading portion 22 has a first state close to the main body portion 10 and a second state distant from the main body portion 10; wherein, when the loading part 22 is located at the first position or the second position, the loading part 22 is in the second state. The loading unit 22 is rotatably provided with respect to the elevating unit 21, and mainly ensures that the loading unit 22 is in an extended state, i.e., the free end of the loading unit 22 is far from the main body 10, when the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 needs to be loaded, and is in a retracted state, i.e., the free end of the loading unit 22 is close to the main body 10, when the unmanned distribution vehicle 30 does not need to be loaded, so that the overall space occupancy rate is low.

As shown in fig. 6, the main body 10 is provided with a receiving groove 12, and when the loading portion 22 is in the first state, at least a part of the loading portion 22 is received in the receiving groove 12; when the loading part 22 is in the second state, the loading part 22 is separated from the accommodating groove 12.

In one embodiment, the accommodating groove 12 is provided to allow the loading portion 22 to be retracted onto the main body portion 10, thereby reducing the overall structure of the loading mechanism to some extent.

In one embodiment, the loading part 22 is provided with a fixing member 23, and the fixing member 23 is used to detachably connect with the unmanned distribution vehicle 30. The fixing member 23 is provided mainly to ensure that the unmanned delivery vehicle 30 can be stably placed on the loading portion 22.

In one embodiment, the fixing member 23 is a clip, and the clip is used for being clipped with a clip on the unmanned distribution vehicle 30; or, the fixing member 23 is a bayonet for being engaged with a bayonet on the unmanned distribution vehicle 30.
