Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a distribution terminal, which mainly includes a base frame 1, a door panel 2 and a covering device. The door panel 2 is located at the front side of the base frame 1, and includes a first plate body 21 and a second plate body 22. The first end of the first plate body 21 is hinged to the lower end of the base frame 1, and the second end of the first plate body 21 is hinged to the first end of the second plate body 22.

[0046] The distribution terminal has a folded state and an unfolded state. In the folded state of the distribution terminal, the second plate 22 is located above the first plate 21 and is buckled with the first plate 21 on the base frame 1 to form a first accommodation space, and the connecting rod 3 is located in the first accommodation space. In the unfolded state of the distribution terminal, the second plate 22 is located in front of the first plate 21 and forms an angle with the first plate 21. The second end of the second plate 22 is higher than the first plate 21. The base frame 1, the covering device, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 can be enclosed to form a second accommodation space.

[0047] According to the delivery terminal of the embodiment of the present invention, in the folded state of the delivery terminal, the second plate body 22 is located above the first plate body 21, and is buckled with the first plate body 21 on the base frame 1 to form a first accommodation space, and the covering device is located in the first accommodation space, so that the delivery terminal is small in size, and in the unfolded state of the delivery terminal, the base frame 1, the covering device, the first plate body 21 and the second plate body 22 can be surrounded to form a second accommodation space for placing packages, so that the delivery terminal can occupy less space when no package is needed, and can have a larger package receiving space when receiving packages. The delivery terminal can be used to achieve door-to-door delivery when the handover time between the consumer and the distributor cannot be completely agreed. Among them, the height ratio of the first plate body 21 and the second plate body 22 can be adapted differently according to actual needs, for example, it can be 1:1 or 2:1. The setting of this ratio determines the front and back dimensions and the upper and lower dimensions of the second accommodation space formed in the open state, and the configuration is relatively flexible, and can be set according to factors such as the size and shape of the delivered package.

[0048] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, the distribution terminal further includes a connecting rod 3. Two connecting rods 3 are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the front side of the base frame 1. The first end of the connecting rod 3 is hinged to the base frame 1, and the second end of the connecting rod 3 is hinged to the second end of the second plate body 22. The base frame, the connecting rod 3, the first plate body 21 and the second plate body 22 form a parallelogram structure. The provision of the connecting rod 3 can make the movement path of the distribution terminal more stable when the state is switched, and can also improve the stability of the distribution terminal in the unfolded state.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the covering device includes a first closing portion 41. In the retracted state of the delivery terminal, the first closing portion 41 is located in the first accommodation space. In the unfolded state of the delivery terminal, the first closing portion 41 at least partially closes the interval between the connecting rod 3 and the first plate 21. The first closing portion 41 can reduce the exposed position of the second accommodation space when the delivery terminal is in the unfolded state, which is beneficial to the protection of the package in the second accommodation space.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the covering device may include a second closing portion 42. In the retracted state of the delivery terminal, the second closing portion 42 is located in the first accommodation space, and in the unfolded state of the delivery terminal, the second closing portion 42 can be unfolded to cover the first plate 21 and can be folded to avoid the first plate 21. This arrangement can reduce the exposed position of the second accommodation space, which is beneficial to the protection of the package in the second accommodation space.

[0051] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the distribution terminal includes a flexible canopy 4, and the flexible canopy 4 includes the aforementioned first closing portion 41 and the second closing portion 42. In this embodiment, in the unfolded state of the distribution terminal, the flexible canopy 4 can completely close the second accommodation space. The flexible canopy 4 can be made of flexible materials such as cloth, plastic, rubber sheet, composite flexible material, etc., or can be made of a combination of two or more flexible materials.

[0052] In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the first closing part 41 and the second closing part 42 can be separately provided. For example, the first closing part 41 can be a separately provided flexible surface material, or a sealing plate. When the first closing part 41 is a sealing plate, the sealing plate can be rotatably connected to one of the connecting rod 3, the first plate body 21, the second plate body 22, and the base frame 1.

[0053] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the covering device may include a movable frame 5 movable relative to the base frame 1, and the movable frame 5 is connected to the second closing portion 42. In the stowed state of the distribution terminal, the movable frame 5 is located in the first accommodating space. In the unfolded state of the distribution terminal, the second closing portion 42 is unfolded or folded under the drive of the movable frame 5.

[0054] like Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the movable frame 5 includes a first movable frame body 51. In the unfolded state of the delivery terminal, the first movable frame body 51 can be switched between a first movable position close to the base frame 1 and a second movable position close to the second plate body 22. In one of the first movable position and the second movable position, the second closing portion 42 is unfolded, and in the other of the first movable position and the second movable position, the second closing portion 42 is folded.

[0055] In this embodiment, Figures 2 to 6 As shown, when the first movable frame 51 is in the first movable position, the second closing portion 42 is unfolded, and when the first movable frame 51 is in the second movable position, the second closing portion 42 is folded.

[0056] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, it can be configured that: when the first movable frame 51 is in the second movable position, the second closing portion 42 is unfolded, and when the first movable frame 51 is in the first movable position, the second closing portion 42 is folded. That is, the second closing portion 42 can be connected between the base frame 1 and the first movable frame 51.

[0057] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first movable frame 51 is U-shaped, the two free ends of the first movable frame 51 are hinged to the base frame 1, the first end of the second closed portion 42 is connected to the first movable frame 51, and the second end of the second closed portion 42 is connected to at least one of the base frame 1, the first closed portion 41, the connecting rod 3, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22. The first movable frame 51 is set to be U-shaped, with a simple structure, easy operation, and is conducive to placing high objects in the second accommodating space.

[0058] In some embodiments, in order to make the second closed portion 42 fold more orderly, the movable frame 5 further includes at least one second movable frame body 52 connected to the second closed portion 42. In this embodiment, when the first movable frame body 51 is in the first movable position, the second closed portion 42 is unfolded. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, at least one second movable frame 52 is located between the first movable frame 51 and the second plate 22 .

[0059] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, if the second closing portion 42 is unfolded when the first movable frame 51 is in the second movable position, at least one second movable frame 52 is located between the first movable frame 51 and the base frame 1 .

[0060] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the second movable frame 52 is U-shaped. The two free ends of the second movable frame 52 can be as shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 6 It can be freely movable as shown, or it can be articulated with the base frame 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, the distribution terminal may include a first locking structure, and the first locking structure is used to lock the relative position of the first movable frame 51 and the base frame 1.

[0062] In some embodiments, the distribution terminal may include a second locking structure, and the second locking structure is used to lock the relative position of the first movable frame 51 and the second plate 22.

[0063] In some embodiments, one of the first locking structure and the second locking structure includes an electric lock 16, and the other includes a spring pin locking structure, and when the second closed portion 42 is unfolded, the electric lock 16 is used to lock the position of the first movable frame 51 and the base frame 1 or the second plate body 22 to which the first movable frame 51 is close, and when the second closed portion 42 is folded, the spring pin locking structure is used to lock the position of the first movable frame 51 and the base frame 1 or the second plate body 22 to which the first movable frame 51 is close.

[0064] exist Figures 1 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the first locking structure includes an electric lock 16 for locking the relative position of the first movable frame 51 and the base frame 1 , and the second locking structure includes a spring pin locking structure for locking the relative position of the first movable frame 51 and the second plate 22 .

[0065] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the position of the first movable frame 51 and the second plate 22 can be locked by locking the position between the first movable frame 51 and the connecting rod 3. Figures 1 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the spring pin locking structure includes a spring pin assembly 513 disposed on the first movable frame 51 and a pin hole 31 disposed on the connecting rod 3 and cooperating with the spring pin assembly 513 .

[0066] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the spring pin assembly 513 includes a pin body 5131, a spring 5132 and a pressure plate 5133. A boss is provided in the middle of the pin body 5131. A stepped pin mounting hole 512 is provided on the first movable frame 51, and the pin body 5131 is inserted into the pin mounting hole 512. The front section (locking end) of the pin body 5131 extends out of the pin mounting hole 512, and the boss on the pin body 5131 can be pressed against the stepped surface of the pin mounting hole 512. The spring 5132 is sleeved on the rear section of the pin body 5131, and one end of the spring 5132 is pressed against the boss. The pressure plate 5133 is fixed to the first movable frame 51, and is provided with a through hole for the rear section (the end away from the locking end) of the pin body 5131 to pass through, and the other end of the spring 5132 is pressed against the pressure plate 5133.

[0067] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the locking end of the pin body 5131 to automatically retreat to the side of the pressure plate 5133 to release the lock when the pin body 5131 applies a force to separate the first movable frame body 51 from the connecting rod 3, the locking end of the pin body 5131 is set to be hemispherical. Of course, the pin body 5131 and the pin hole 31 can also be unlocked by pushing the front end of the pin body 5131, and there is no need to specifically limit the shape of the locking end.

[0068] The delivery terminal also includes a stopper structure 15 disposed on the base frame 1. When the delivery terminal is in the retracted state, the locking end of the pin body 5131 cooperates with the pin hole 31, and the stopper structure 15 presses against the end face of the pin body 5131 opposite to the locking end. Due to the existence of the stopper structure 15, when the delivery terminal is in the retracted state, the pin body 1531 cannot retreat toward the side of the pressure plate 5133. If the electric lock is not released, the door panel 2 is opened together with the first movable frame 51 to make the first movable frame 51 escape from the restriction of the stopper structure 15, and the pin hole 31 cannot be released from the spring pin assembly 513. In other words, the delivery terminal cannot be unfolded by pulling the door panel 2 when the electric lock is locked.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the base frame 1 includes two side panels 11, a bottom panel 12 and a top panel 13 located on the left and right sides respectively. In the folded state of the distribution terminal, the two side panels 11, the bottom panel 12, the top panel 13 and the door panel 2 are combined to form a closed first accommodating space.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first end of the first plate body 21 is hinged to the front end of the bottom plate 12 .

[0071] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the base frame 1 includes a rear support frame 14 , and a fixed installation structure for fixing the base frame 1 is provided on the rear support frame 14 .

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the rear support frame 14 includes an upper support plate 141 and a lower support plate 142. The fixing structure includes first fixing holes 1411 respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the upper support plate 141 and second fixing holes 1421 respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the lower support plate 142.

[0073] The electric lock 16 is located at the front end of the upper support plate 141 and is installed at the lower end of the top plate 13. The first movable frame 51 is provided with a lock slot 511 that matches the lock catch of the electric lock 16.

[0074] The electric lock can be replaced by various other types of box locks.

[0075] In addition, the aforementioned stop structure 15 is arranged on the upper support plate 141, and the stop structure 15 includes two baffles arranged at intervals. The two baffles and the upper support plate 141 form a groove structure that opens forward and extends up and down. When the first movable frame 51 approaches the base frame 1, the first movable frame 51 is just stuck in the groove structure.

[0076] exist Figures 1 to 7 In the embodiment shown, the delivery terminal is equipped with a covering device that can be folded and unfolded, and an electric lock 16 is provided on the upper part of the base frame 1. In the folded state of the delivery terminal, the door panel 2 is buckled on the front side of the base frame 1, and the covering device is folded inside the first accommodating cavity. When the electric lock 16 is opened, the door panel 2 can be pulled forward to switch the delivery terminal to the unfolded state. In addition, due to the locking effect of the spring pin locking structure, the second closing part 42 is folded and close to the second plate body 22. At this time, the package can be placed on the first plate body 21, and then the second closing part 42 can be unfolded, the first movable frame 51 of the covering device is close to the base frame 1 and the lock groove 511 matches the lock part of the electric lock 16, thereby closing and locking the second accommodating space. The setting and operation of this structure are relatively simple, and the delivery of packages can be easily realized.

[0077] In addition, in this embodiment, spring pin assemblies 513 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the first movable frame 51, and a pin hole 31 is adapted to be provided on the connecting rod 3. When the second closing portion 42 is folded, the first movable frame 51 moves to the position of the connecting rod 3, and the pin body 5131 of the spring pin assembly 513 can be locked in the pin hole 31, thereby positioning the first movable frame 51 and the second closing portion 42. After the package is delivered, when the first movable frame 51 is locked to the base frame 1, if others implement the operation of closing the door panel 2, the door panel 2 cannot be completely closed due to the obstruction of the stop structure 15, so it can effectively prevent others from maliciously closing the door panel 2.

[0078] In this embodiment, by installing the electric lock 16 and the spring pin locking structure on the distribution terminal, when the door panel 2 of the distribution terminal is in the closed state, the first movable frame 51 is located in the first accommodating cavity, and the first movable frame 51 and the door panel 2 can share the electric lock 16, that is, when the distribution terminal is in the retracted state, the relative positions of the door panel 2, the first movable frame 51 and the base frame 1 can be locked by the electric lock 16; when the distribution terminal is in the unfolded state and the second closing portion 42 covers the first plate 21, the relative positions of the first movable frame 51 and the base frame 1 can be locked by the electric lock 16.

[0079] The distribution terminal may also include an information input device disposed on the base frame 1 or the door panel 2. Figures 1 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, the information input device includes a touch screen 61 and a camera 62. In an embodiment not shown, the information input device may also include a fingerprint recognition device, a face recognition device, a keyboard input device, etc. The information input device may cooperate with the electric lock 16 to identify and confirm the information of the consumer receiving the package, and then unlock it to prevent the package from being taken away by other people.

[0080] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, at least the front side of the top plate 13 includes a downwardly inclined plate, and the information input device is installed on the downwardly inclined plate. This arrangement is convenient for consumers to operate.

[0081] In some embodiments, the distribution terminal may include an information carrier, which may be, for example, a QR code, a bar code, etc. When the operator wants to open the electric lock 16, he may scan the code with a mobile phone, and the mobile phone may identify the information of the information carrier and send the information to the server, and the server may remotely control the electric lock to unlock. Setting the information carrier can save power compared to setting electronic components such as a touch screen.

[0082] In addition, the distribution terminal may further include an energy supply device, which may be disposed on the base frame 1 or the door panel 2. The energy supply device may include a battery, a solar panel and / or a small transformer, etc. The energy supply device is used to power electronic components such as the information input device or the electric control lock 16.

[0083] exist Figures 1 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the energy supply device includes a solar panel 71. The solar panel 71 is disposed on the down-tilted plate. The solar panel 71 stores electrical energy when there is light, thereby providing power to the terminal.

[0084] To save power, the touch screen 61 can be set to be in a standby state when the delivery terminal is not in use, and the screen will only light up when a pre-set start mechanism is triggered when in use. The start mechanism is, for example, but not limited to, a touch screen.

[0085] In order to facilitate the switching of the parallelogram structure between the first extreme position and the second extreme position, the door panel 2 also includes a handle. The handle is, for example, a buckle or a pull handle. In this embodiment, the handle is a buckle 23 disposed between the first plate 21 and the second plate 22. When the parallelogram structure is to be switched from the first extreme position to the second extreme position, the buckle 23 is pulled forward, and the first plate 21 rotates forward with the connection point with the base plate as the axis. At this time, the second plate 22 is restricted by the connecting rods on both sides, and rotates with the connection point between the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 as the axis and changes position, presenting a Figure 2 Status shown.

[0086] When the delivery terminal switches from the folded state to the unfolded state, the lock portion of the electric lock 16 pops up and disengages from the lock slot 511. At this time, the buckle 23 of the door panel 2 is pulled. Since the pin body 5131 of the spring pin assembly 513 is inserted into the pin hole 31 of the connecting rod 3, the connecting rod 3 will drive the first movable frame 51 to move together until the delivery terminal is in the unfolded state. Therefore, the operator can complete the unfolding action of the door panel 2 and the connecting rod 3 at the same time through one operation. At the same time, the first movable frame 51 is close to the second plate body 22, so that the top of the first plate body 21 is open, so that the package can be placed directly, which simplifies the equipment operation process and is convenient for operators to use.

[0087] When the second closing part 42 switches from folding to unfolding, the operator can pull the first movable frame 51 upwards, and the pin body 5131 of the spring pin assembly 513 is compressed backwards, and the first movable frame 51 is separated from the connecting rod 3, and then the first movable frame 51 is moved upwards to unfold the second closing part 42, and finally the first movable frame 51 is pushed to the electric lock 16, and the electric lock 16 automatically locks the first movable frame 51. At this time, if someone pushes the door panel 2 upwards, the pin body 5131 of the spring pin assembly 513 is restricted by the stop structure 15 and cannot be compressed, so the door panel 2 cannot be completely closed, thereby avoiding improper use by humans.

[0088] When the distribution terminal switches from the deployed state to the retracted state, the operator causes the electric lock 16 to automatically pop open and disengage from the lock slot 511 of the first movable frame 51, pulls the first movable frame 51 back downward and presses it into the connecting rod 3, inserts the pin body 5131 of the spring pin assembly 513 into the pin hole 31, and then pushes the door panel 2 and the first movable frame 51 upward together until the electric lock 16 locks the first movable frame 51, completing the switching action of the distribution terminal to the retracted state.

[0089] In the above embodiments, the covering device includes a foldable and expandable second closing portion. In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the covering device may also include a cover plate that is movable relative to the base frame. In the retracted state of the distribution terminal, the cover plate is located in the first accommodating space. In the expanded state of the distribution terminal, the cover plate can cover the first plate body 21. The cover plate can be, for example, a single plate body, or a folding plate or a pull-out plate; it can be a hard plate, or a combined cover plate composed of a hard frame and a flexible surface wrapped on the hard frame; it can be a flat plate, or a convex door plate, etc. The connection relationship between the cover plate and other structures can be hinged, for example, the cover plate can be hinged on the base frame, or can be hinged on the door plate, or the cover plate can include a plurality of separate plate bodies, part of the plate body is hinged on the base frame, part of the plate body is hinged on the door plate, and the cover plate can also be hinged on at least one of the two connecting rods, etc. When the covering device includes the cover plate and the first closing portion 41 is a sealing plate, the sealing plate can also be rotatably connected to the cover plate.

[0090] The delivery terminal provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be installed on the outer wall of the user's residence. The delivery person can deliver the goods to the door at any time and can directly deliver the package to the delivery terminal, which is convenient for the user to pick up.

[0091] According to the above description, the above embodiments of the present invention have at least one of the following advantages:

[0092] When there is no need to store parcels, the delivery terminal is in a folded state, taking up relatively little space and being regular and aesthetically pleasing; when there is a need to store parcels, the delivery terminal is in an unfolded state and has a larger storage space.

[0093] After being used for delivering packages, the opened structure is designed to be convenient, easy to use, humane and reasonable.

[0094] It can be flexibly installed on the wall of the user's residence.

[0095] The height ratio of the first plate body and the second plate body can be adapted differently according to actual needs. The configuration is relatively flexible and can effectively meet the needs of delivering packages of different sizes and shapes.

[0096] The stop structure can be provided to not only realize the positioning of the first movable frame when it is in the unfolded state, but also effectively prevent others from maliciously closing the door panel after the package is delivered.

[0097] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the present invention.
