[0013] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a fourth gear that is fixedly connected to the shaft of the cabinet door, the cabinet body also has a second gear that meshes with the fourth gear and rotates on its own, a third gear is provided below the rotating column, the first gear, the second gear and the third gear are rotatably connected to a belt, and a clamping plate that engages with the second gear is connected to the cabinet body through a third compression member.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting assembly further includes a sliding plate rotatably connected to the central shaft of the third gear, a fixed plate fixedly connected inside the cabinet and slidingly engaged with the sliding plate, and a compression spring engaging between the fixed plate and the sliding plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. In this invention, the cabinet door is flipped down to close. The fourth gear drives the second gear, which in turn causes the first gear, rotating rod, and movable plate to rotate clockwise via a belt. As the fan-shaped movable plate rotates, the carrying plate moves along the limiting plate into the depth of the cabinet opening under the action of the connecting plate, thus completing the storage of items. Similarly, flipping the cabinet door upwards opens the cabinet door, allowing the carrying plate to move from the depth of the cabinet opening to the cabinet opening, making it easy for the user to retrieve the items. This method is simple, convenient, and easy to operate, eliminating the need to manually insert or remove items.

[0017] 2. As the fan-shaped movable plate rotates, it presses against the elastic plate, causing the elastic plate to move downwards (the elastic plate switches from an inclined state to a horizontal state). This causes the pressure plate to move downwards and press against the item, ensuring that the item is pressed against the pressure plate and moves stably during the movement of the carrying plate. When the elastic plate is tilted and the pressure plate moves away from the item, the elastic rope ensures that the position and tilt angle of the pressure plate do not change much, thus facilitating the downward-moving pressure plate to smoothly press against the center of the top surface of the item.

[0018] 3. Through the cooperation of the threaded rod and the rotating column, the sliding block moves vertically upward, thereby causing the rotating rod, the first gear, and the movable plate to move upward. At the same time, under the action of the second compression component, the fixed block and the elastic plate move vertically upward, so that the elastic plate always presses against the movable plate, thereby completing the height adjustment of the elastic plate and the movable plate. This facilitates the adjustment of the height of the elastic plate and the movable plate to accommodate items of different heights, and ensures that the pressure plate presses against the items smoothly. The belt always meshes with the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear to ensure the cooperation between the cabinet door and the movable plate in adjusting the position.

[0019] 4. Before flipping the cabinet door, pull or retract the sliding plate to move the pressure plate and telescopic sleeve along the direction of the inclined elastic plate, so that the pressure plate is roughly located in the middle of the top surface of the item. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Please see Figures 1-4 The illustrated storage locker includes a locker body 1 with multiple openings 2 for storing items. Multiple doors 3, which rotatably connect to the locker body 1 and engage with the openings 2, are also included. A carrying plate 4 is slidably fitted to the locker body 1. A movable plate 5 is movably fitted inside the openings 2. An elastic plate 6, which presses against the movable plate 5, is movably fitted onto the carrying plate 4. A pressure plate 7 is movably fitted onto the elastic plate 6. A movable assembly 8 rotates the movable plate 5 by flipping the locker doors 3, thereby moving the carrying plate 4 and causing the end of the elastic plate 6 to press against items located on the carrying plate 4. A pressure assembly 13 presses and secures the items against the pressure plate 7. An adjusting assembly 17 adjusts the height of the elastic plate 6 and the movable plate 5 to ensure the elastic plate 6 effectively secures the items according to their size.

[0037] Please see Figures 5-7 The movable component 8 shown in the figure includes a limiting plate 9 located at the cabinet opening 2 and fixedly connected to the cabinet body 1. The carrying plate 4 slides horizontally within the limiting plate 9. The end of the carrying plate 4 is provided with a fixing block 10 that is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic plate 6. A rotating rod 11 is fixedly connected to the middle of the movable plate 5. The movable plate 5 has a fan-shaped structure. The end of the rotating rod 11 is provided with a connecting component 24 that cooperates with the cabinet door 3. The movable component 8 also includes a connecting plate 12. One end of the connecting plate 12 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixing block 10, and the other end of the connecting plate 12 is rotatably connected to the edge of the movable plate 5.

[0038] Please see Figures 7-9 The pressure assembly 13 shown in the figure includes a telescopic sleeve 14 with a first compression member inside. The bottom end of the telescopic sleeve 14 is rotatably connected to the middle of the pressure plate 7. An elastic pull rope 15 is attached between the pressure plate 7 and the telescopic sleeve 14. A sliding plate 16 is fixedly connected to the telescopic sleeve 14. The sliding plate 16 is slidably engaged with the elastic plate 6.

[0039] Please see Figures 5-6 and Figure 11 The adjustment component 17 shown in the figure includes a sliding block 18 that slides vertically inside the cabinet 1. The sliding block 18 is rotatably engaged with the rotating rod 11. A first gear 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 11. A connecting block 20 that is movably sleeved with the fixed block 10 is fixedly connected to the loading plate 4. A second compression member is provided between the connecting block 20 and the fixed block 10.

[0040] Please see Figures 11-13 The connecting component 24 shown in the figure includes a fourth gear 25 that is fixed to the shaft of the cabinet door 3. The cabinet body 1 also has a second gear 26 that meshes with the fourth gear 25. A third gear 27 is provided below the rotating column 21. A belt 28 is rotatably connected to the first gear 19, the second gear 26, and the third gear 27. A clamping plate 29 that engages with the second gear 26 is connected to the cabinet body 1 through a third compression component.

[0041] In this embodiment, the state shown in the figure is that the cabinet door 3 is open, the storage plate 4 extends out of the cabinet opening 2, and the elastic plate 6 (the end of the elastic plate 6 extends out of the cabinet opening 2) is tilted, and the items are placed into the end of the extended storage plate 4.

[0042] The working principle of the automatic entry of items into the cabinet 2 when the cabinet door 3 is closed is as follows: When the cabinet door 3 is closed by flipping it downwards, the fourth gear 25 rotates counterclockwise, thereby driving the second gear 26 to rotate clockwise. The first gear 19, the rotating rod 11, and the movable plate 5 rotate clockwise. When the fan-shaped movable plate 5 rotates (at this time, the left end of the connecting plate 12 is at the extreme left end position), under the action of the connecting plate 12, the carrying plate 4 moves along the limiting plate 9 into the depth of the cabinet 2, thereby completing the storage of items. Similarly, flipping the cabinet door 3 upwards opens the cabinet door, allowing the carrying plate 4 to move from the depth of the cabinet 2 with the items to the cabinet 2, making it convenient for the depositor to take them out. This method is simple, convenient, and easy to operate, without the need to manually insert or remove items.

[0043] As the fan-shaped movable plate 5 rotates, it presses against the elastic plate 6, causing the elastic plate 6 to move downwards (the elastic plate 6 switches from an inclined state to a horizontal state), thereby causing the pressing plate 7 to move downwards and press against the item, ensuring that the item is pressed against by the pressing plate 7 during the movement of the carrying plate 4, and moving stably.

[0044] When the elastic plate 6 is tilted and the pressure plate 7 is away from the item, the position of the pressure plate 7 is maintained by the elastic rope 15, and the tilt angle does not change much, so that the downward-moving pressure plate 7 can smoothly press against the middle of the top surface of the item.

[0045] The working principle of height adjustment of elastic plate 6 and movable plate 5: By moving sliding block 18 vertically upward, rotating rod 11, first gear 19 and movable plate 5 move upward. At the same time, under the action of second compression component, fixed block 10 and elastic plate 6 move vertically upward, so that elastic plate 6 always presses against movable plate 5, thereby completing the height adjustment of elastic plate 6 and movable plate 5.

[0046] The working principle of maintaining the rotational engagement between the first gear 19 and the cabinet door 3 after the height of the movable plate 5 is adjusted is as follows: After the sliding block 18 drives the rotating rod 11 and the first gear 19 to move upward, the second gear 26 remains in the original position and rotates. The third gear 27 moves vertically upward to a certain position and remains in that position. The belt 28 is always taut and meshes with the first gear 19, the second gear 26 and the third gear 27. Thus, when the cabinet door 3 drives the fourth gear 25 to rotate, the second gear 26 rotates, and at the same time, the first gear 19 and the third gear 27 rotate after the position is adjusted, causing the movable plate 5 to rotate after the position is adjusted.

[0047] It is worth noting that before flipping the cabinet door 3, by pulling or retracting the sliding plate 16, the pressure plate 7 and the telescopic sleeve plate 14 are moved along the direction of the inclined elastic plate 6, so that the pressure plate 7 is roughly located in the middle of the top surface of the item.

[0048] The second gear 26 is restricted by the clamping plate 29 and the third compression component. When the cabinet door 3 is manually flipped, the second gear 26 rotates against the action of the clamping plate 29 and the third compression component. When the cabinet door 3 is fully opened or closed, the force of the hand on the cabinet door 3 is released. Under the action of the clamping plate 29 and the third compression component, the clamping plate 29 engages and fixes the second gear 26. The cabinet door 3 is equipped with a smart lock. Only smart locks can flip the cabinet door 3.

[0049] The instruction manual includes Figures 9-10 The central line is the movement trajectory of the bottom end of the telescopic sleeve 14. Specifically, as the cabinet door 2 rotates downward to close, the elastic plate 6 rotates first, switching from an inclined state to a horizontal state (the pressure plate 7 presses against the items), and then drives the telescopic sleeve 14 to rotate horizontally. When the carrying plate 4 sends the items into the depth of the cabinet opening, the elastic plate 6 switches from a horizontal state to an inclined state (the pressure plate 7 relaxes the items). At this time, the cabinet door 2 is completely closed, so that the movement trajectory of the bottom end of the telescopic sleeve 14 is U-shaped.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 11 The adjustment component 17 shown in the figure also includes a rotating column 21 that cooperates with the rotation of the cabinet 1. A threaded rod 22 is threadedly connected to the rotating column 21. The end of the threaded rod 22 is hinged to the sliding block 18, and the other end of the threaded rod 22 is fixedly connected to an adjustment handle 23.

[0052] In this embodiment, by adjusting the rotation handle 23, the threaded rod 22 is screwed into the rotation column 21, thereby causing the sliding block 18 to move vertically upward. The rotation column 21 makes an adaptive rotation angle, which makes it easy to adjust the height of the elastic plate 6 and the movable plate 5 to accommodate items of different heights, and to facilitate the stable pressure of the pressure plate 7 on the items.

[0053] Example 3

[0054] Please see Figures 12-13 The connecting component 24 shown in the figure also includes a sliding plate 30 that is rotatably connected to the central shaft of the third gear 27. A fixed plate 31 that is slidably engaged with the sliding plate 30 is fixedly connected inside the cabinet 1. A compression spring 32 is engaged between the fixed plate 31 and the sliding plate 30.

[0055] In this embodiment, the third gear 27 moves vertically upward, causing the sliding plate 30 to slide along the fixed plate 31. Under the action of the compression spring 32, the position of the third gear 27 after adjustment is ensured, and the belt 28 is always taut while meshing with the first gear 19, the second gear 26, and the third gear 27.
