DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] For example, see Figure 1-8 In an embodiment of the present invention, a smart mailbox opened by scanning a code includes a rectangular frame 100, a panel 110 is fixed to the rear side of the rectangular frame 100, a plurality of partitions 120 are fixed at equal intervals between the rectangular frame 100 and the panel 110, a plurality of storage spaces 130 are separated by the plurality of partitions 120, the rectangular frame 100 and the panel 110, and a plurality of partition components 200 are fixed at equal intervals inside the storage space 130, and the partition components 200 are used to separate the storage space 130 The partition assembly 200 comprises two support columns 210, an elastic fabric belt 220 is fixed between the two support columns 210, a door 300 is hinged at the open end of the storage chamber 230, the door 300 comprises a door panel 310, an ink screen 311 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the door panel 310, a control box 400 is fixedly installed on one side of the rectangular frame 100, and the control box 400 is used for intelligently opening the door 300 and allocating and utilizing the storage chambers 230 at different positions.

[0043] Specifically, the storage space 130 is divided into a plurality of storage chambers 230 by the partition assembly 200, and the opening of each storage chamber 230 is hinged with a box door 300 to form a separate mailbox. The elastic cloth belt 220 in the folded state on the partition assembly 200 has strong plasticity, and the elastic cloth belt 220 can be moved to the adjacent storage chamber 230 to adjust the internal space of the mailbox in use, so that the mailbox can not only meet the functions of putting in letters, mails, etc., but also adjust the internal space to put in other items of different sizes, so as to give full play to the convenience of the mailbox. The ink screen 311 can be installed on the door 300 of the mailbox, and the user's room number can be displayed on the ink screen 311, so that the mailboxes used as mailboxes to receive letters can be concentrated in one area. The ink screen 311 can also concentrate idle mailboxes in another area for numbered express delivery, thereby realizing the division of areas according to the usage status of the mailboxes, so that multiple mailboxes can form a letter delivery area and an express delivery delivery area. Compared with the traditional method of each mailbox being assigned to a user, the scope of use of the mailbox can be expanded, and the user's life can be further facilitated.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the control system of the intelligent mailbox includes a main control machine 410, a computer, a display module, an identification module and a pressure sensor 340. The main control machine 410 is connected to the computer for two-way communication, the main control machine 410 is connected to the display module for two-way communication, the main control machine 410 is connected to the identification module for two-way communication, the main control machine 410 is connected to the pressure sensor 340 for communication, the display module includes a display screen and an ink screen 311, and the identification module includes a fingerprint identifier and a password identifier.

[0045] In this embodiment, the computer can centrally manage the control network management, store the item placement information of the main control computer 410, and can remotely control the opening of the door, voice prompt operation process and other human-computer interaction processing tasks through SMS short messages.

[0046] In this embodiment, the display screen can display the QR code for opening and closing the door 300. The user uses a mobile phone to scan the QR code to open the door 300 intelligently. The ink screen 311 is used to display the usage of the mailbox. The ink screen 311 with the room number indicates that the mailbox has a separate user. The words such as the express serial number indicate that the mailbox is shared and can be used for express delivery. The main control machine 410 can control the display information of the display screen and the ink screen 311.

[0047] In this embodiment, the user's fingerprint is entered into the fingerprint identifier, so that the door 300 can be opened and closed by using the fingerprint. The user can also enter a password on the main control machine 410 to control the opening and closing of the door 300 by password.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of notches 121 are evenly spaced on the top of the rectangular frame 100 and on one side of the partition 120. The notches 121 are arranged above the corresponding position of the box door 300. Pushing the movable plate 320 downward from the notch 121 position can make the movable plate 320 be stored inside the door panel 310, so that letters can be put in from the gap at the top of the movable plate 320. When not in use, the movable plate 320 is blocked at the top of the door panel 310 to prevent the top of the mailbox from being in an open state for a long time, causing insects and rodents to enter the mailbox.

[0049] In this embodiment, a locking ring is installed at one end of the door panel 310, and an electromagnetic lock used in conjunction with the locking ring is installed on the inner side of the storage chamber 230. The main control machine 410 can control the electromagnetic lock to automatically pop open the box door 300. After the box door 300 is closed, the electromagnetic lock fixes the box door 300 again. The electromagnetic lock cooperates with the electric lock ring to fix the box door 300, which is an existing technology, and the specific working principle of the electromagnetic lock is not elaborated here.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a baffle is hinged on the outer side of the control box 400, and a main control machine 410 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the baffle. The main control machine 410 is used to operate and control the intelligent mailbox.

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the present embodiment, a plurality of support columns 210 are respectively fixedly connected to the partition 120 and the rectangular frame 100 at corresponding positions, and a plurality of upright columns 221 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the outer side of the elastic cloth belt 220. The end faces of the upright columns 221 slide against the partition 120, so that the elastic cloth belt 220 is always in a vertical arrangement state inside the storage chamber 230 to separate different mailboxes. The storage chambers 230 inside two adjacent mailboxes are not connected to each other, and the length of the elastic cloth belt 220 is greater than the distance between the two support columns 210, so that the elastic cloth belt 220 can be unfolded and moved in the storage space 130.

[0052] Embodiment 2, based on embodiment 1, is to automatically detect whether the message is stuck at the placement position of the door 300.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the box door 300 also includes a movable plate 320 slidably plugged with the door panel 310, and connecting shafts 321 are fixed to the bottom of both ends of the movable plate 320, and a return spring 330 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting shaft 321. A pressure sensor 340 is installed against the bottom end of the return spring 330, and the pressure sensor 340 is embedded and fixed inside the door panel 310.

[0054] Specifically, when it is necessary to deliver a letter into the mailbox, the movable plate 320 is pressed downward, and the movable plate 320 presses down the reset spring 330 through the connecting shaft 321. After the movable plate 320 is moved downward, a gap is left above the movable plate 320 for delivering the letter, and the letter can be delivered directly into the mailbox through the gap. After the letter is delivered, the elastic force of the reset spring 330 causes the connecting shaft 321 to move up with the movable plate 320 back to the initial position, so that the movable plate 320 blocks the gap for delivering the letter again.

[0055] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the reset spring 330 is in a natural state, and the pressure reading on the pressure sensor 340 at the bottom of the reset spring 330 is zero. During the process of delivering the letter, if the letter is stuck on the top of the movable plate 320, the movable plate 320 will move down a certain distance relative to the initial position, so that the reset spring 330 generates pressure on the pressure sensor 340. According to the pressure value transmitted to the main control machine 410 by the pressure sensor 340, it can be judged whether the letter is stuck on the top of the movable plate 320. If the letter is not completely delivered into the mailbox, the buzzer on the main control machine 410 will alarm, so as to remind the user to deliver the letter completely into the mailbox.

[0056] In this embodiment, a rectangular groove 312 is provided on the top of the door panel 310 for slidingly plugging with the movable plate 320. Circular blind holes are provided at both ends of the rectangular groove 312. The connecting shaft 321 and the return spring 330 are both installed and fixed inside the circular blind holes. The rectangular groove 312 facilitates the movable plate 320 to move up and down on the door panel 310, and facilitates the downward movement and opening of the movable plate 320 for delivering letters. The circular blind hole facilitates the installation of the return spring 330 and the pressure sensor 340. The return spring 330 can make the connecting shaft 321 after moving down bring the movable plate 320 back to the initial position.

[0057] Embodiment 3, based on embodiment 1, is to automatically close the box door 300 that is not closed.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the closing component 500 includes two electric slide rails 510 respectively fixed on the top and bottom of the rectangular frame 100, an electric slider 520 slides on the outer side of the electric slide rails 510, an axle rod 530 is fixed between the two electric sliders 520, the outer side of the axle rod 530 is in contact with the open side of the storage chamber 230, and a protective cover 540 is sleeved on the outer side of the electric slide rail 510, and the protective cover 540 is fixed to the rectangular frame 100.

[0059] Specifically, the main control machine 410 controls the electric slider 520 to move along the electric slide rail 510 toward the control box 400. The two movable electric sliders 520 move along the front side of the mailbox with the shaft rod 530. When encountering a missed door 300, the shaft rod 530 can squeeze the door 300 toward the mailbox, so that the door 300 automatically closes to the outside of the mailbox, thereby automatically closing the missed door 300.

[0060] In this embodiment, the electric slider 520 slides on the electric slide rail 510 according to the prior art, and the specific working principle is not described in detail. By sleeved with a protective cover 540 on the outer side of the electric slide rail 510, the protective cover 540 can protect the electric slider 520 and the electric slide rail 510.

[0061] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and range of equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0062] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution.
