Abstract

A delivery robot loading box state management system includes a loading box provided in a delivery robot such that a delivery product is loaded therein; a sensing unit capable of detecting the state of the inside of the loading box; a temperature control unit capable of adjusting the temperature inside the loading box; a deodorizing unit for removing odors inside the loading box; and a control unit for controlling the operation of at least one of the temperature control unit or the deodorizing unit according to the detection result of the sensing unit.

Claims (18)

1. A delivery robot loading box state management system comprising:

a loading box provided in a delivery robot in which a delivery product is loaded;

a sensor capable of sensing a state inside the loading box;

a temperature controller capable of adjusting a temperature inside the loading box;

a deodorizer for removing odors inside the loading box; and

a controller for controlling an operation of the temperature controller and the deodorizer according to a sensing result of the sensor,

wherein the controller is configured to:

control the temperature controller based on a predetermined recommended temperature of the delivery product such that the temperature inside the loading box sensed by the sensor corresponds to the recommended temperature; and

drive the deodorizer when an odor sensed by the sensor is greater than or equal to a predetermined concentration, and

wherein the controller is capable of controlling opening and closing of a cover of the loading box, and is further configured to:

open the cover for a predetermined time based on the sensing result of the sensor when the delivery product is loaded in the loading box; or

open the cover for a predetermined time when a certain period of time passes after the delivery product loaded in the loading box is unloaded.

2. The delivery robot loading box state management system of claim 1 , wherein the temperature controller comprises a cooling and heating device capable of performing functions of a heater and a cooler, or a liquid accommodated in a container capable of heating or cooling, which is loaded in the loading box.

3. The delivery robot loading box state management system of claim 1 , wherein the deodorizer comprises a UV lamp.

4. The delivery robot loading box state management system of claim 1 , wherein the delivery robot loading box state management system further comprises a fan capable of generating wind from the inside of the loading box to the outside, and

the controller is configured to control the fan to be driven when the cover is opened.

5. The delivery robot loading box state management system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the temperature controller, when delivery of a first delivery product is completed, to correspond to a recommended temperature of a second delivery product to be delivered before the second delivery product is loaded.

6. The delivery robot loading box state management system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to drive the deodorizer before a second delivery product to be delivered is loaded when delivery of a first delivery product is completed.
