BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Online ecommerce is on the rise and is growing day by day. With the increase in number of orders online the numbers of deliveries have also gone up significantly. Good and efficient delivery system is an integral part of the online ecommerce model. For effecting continuous deliveries, ecommerce or their delivery partners employ huge workforce for delivering the orders. Many deliveries are performed either through two wheeled vehicles with huge bags being carried by delivery professionals or in three or four wheeled vehicles. These three or four wheeled vehicles use a cargo section within which delivery packets are stored and the delivery person has to get the packet and deliver it to its destination.
However, due to continuous lifting of delivery packets by bending down, may cause various health issues like back pains etc.
Therefore, there is a need of an effective solution to this delivery shortcomings.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses a cargo box height control system that includes a cargo box configured to house a plurality of cargo packets comprising, a bottom plate configured to be height adjusted, a height adjustment module, operably connected to the bottom plate of the cargo box, an occupancy sensor, placed within the cargo box at a specific height, configured to determine a stack height of the plurality of cargo packets that are within line of sight of the occupancy sensor, transmit a signal in case the stack height of the plurality of cargo packets falls beneath the line of sight, a controller, communicably connected to the occupancy sensor and configured to, receive the signal from the occupancy sensor when the stack height falls beneath the line of sight and transmit a signal to the height adjustment module to raise the bottom plate by a value at which a new stack height is within the line of sight.
According to another embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a method for cargo box height control including determining by an occupancy sensor presence of a plurality of cargo packets placed on a bottom plate of a cargo box at a stack height within a line of sight of the occupancy sensor, transmitting, by the occupancy, a signal in case the stack height is beneath the stack height, and initiating, by a controller, after receiving the signal from the occupancy sensor, a height adjustment module to raise the bottom plate in order to bring the stack height of the cargo packets within the line of sight of the occupancy sensor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0007] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like numerals represent like elements throughout the several figures, and in which example embodiments are shown. Embodiments of the claims may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The examples set forth herein are non-limiting examples and are merely examples among other possible examples.
[0008] Some embodiments of this invention, illustrating all its features, will now be discussed in detail. The words “comprising,” “having,” “containing,” and “including,” and other forms thereof, are intended to be equivalent in meaning and be open ended in that an item or items following any one of these words is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of such item or items, or meant to be limited to only the listed item or items.
[0009] It must also be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Although any systems and methods similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of embodiments of the present invention, the preferred, systems and methods are now described.
[0010] FIG. 1 illustrates an environment 100 for functioning of the invention. the environment 100 includes a vehicle 102 with a cargo box 104 typically placed on a rear part of the vehicle 102. The cargo box may be typically used for logistics wherein various packets may be stacked for delivery.
[0011] Fig. 2 illustrates a line diagram of a system 200 for control of the cargo box 104, in an embodiment of the invention. It is to be noted, that the cargo box may include a bottom plate 212 that may support various luggage placed within the cargo box.
[0012] The system 200, further includes a controller 202, a sensor 206 and a height adjustment module 204.
[0013] According to an embodiment of the invention, the controller 202 may be typical processor configured to store and execute various instructions as programmed or fetched.
[0014] According to another embodiment of the invention, the sensor 206 may be a camera, a RADAR sensor, an Infra-Red (IR) sensor, a proximity sensor etc. It is to be noted, that the sensor 206 is configured to check or determine presence of objects within its line of sight 208. Also, the sensor 206 may be typically placed at a height within the cargo box that helps a user to not bend to lift up objects. The sensor 206, may be configured to check line of sight as per height of the user.
[0015] According to another embodiment of the invention, the height adjustment module 204 may be a motor driven module, a hydraulics driven module, or a screw driven module.
[0016] As displayed, in Fig. 2, the sensor 206 is communicably connected to the controller 202 which is further communicably connected to the height adjustment module 204.
[0017] In operation, the sensor 206 checks or determines presence of packets 210 in the line of sight 208. The sensor 206 is configured to send a signal to the controller 202 signaling that there are no packets in the line of sight 208. The controller 202, sends a signal to the height adjustment module 204 to increase a height and raise the bottom plate 212 to a height till packets come within the line of sight 208 of the sensor. Once, the packets are again determined within the line of sight 208, the sensor 206 sends another signal to the controller 202 about presence of packets. This prompts the controller 202, send a signal to the height adjustment module 204 to stop raising the bottom plate 212. Fig. 3A-3B illustrate a movement of the bottom plate 212 by a height ?H which is a difference of a raised height minus a previous height of the bottom plate.
[0018] Fig. 4, illustrates a method 400 to control a cargo box, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. At block 402, the controller 202 determines if there are any packets within the line of sight 208 of the sensor 206. If yes, the method 400 jumps to block 406, that is the position of the bottom plate is held till the packets are within the line of sight 208.
[0019] However, in case there are no packets within the line of sight 208, then the at block 404, the controller 202 sends a signal to the height adjustment module 204 to raise the bottom plate till packets reach the line of sight 208 of the sensor 206.
[0020] Further at block 406, the position of the bottom plate is held till the packets are within the line of sight 208. The process is repeated in real time to keep a continuous check on the height.
[0021] This invention helps the driver to maintain a comfortable position while picking up the packets from the cargo box. This invention helps reducing unnecessary bending activity the driver has to perform while delivering. The bending activity takes a toll on the back and may cause damage to a spine of the driver and may cause various medical conditions. Hence, this invention disclosure aims to solve this problem.
[0022] Moreover, although the present invention and its advantages have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the invention as defined by the appended claims. Moreover, the scope of the present application is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments of the process, machine, manufacture, composition of matter, means, methods and steps described in the specification. As one will readily appreciate from the disclosure, processes, machines, manufacture, compositions of matter, means, methods, or steps, presently existing or later to be developed that perform substantially the same function or achieve substantially the same result as the corresponding embodiments described herein may be utilized. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to include within their scope such processes, machines, manufacture, compositions of matter, means, methods, or steps.
