Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of logistics technology and equipment, and specifically relates to a recyclable packaging device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of economy and technology, e-commerce is becoming more and more popular. Along with the popularization of e-commerce, the logistics industry is also becoming more and more developed. In the process of transportation, logistics usually requires packaging of goods, that is, storing the goods in packaging boxes for transportation. Currently, the transportation of contracts and valuables is not significantly different from that of ordinary express delivery. It is difficult to carry out further encryption during transportation, which increases the uncertainty of the goods during transit and makes it easy for items to be lost or important information to be leaked. In addition, it is necessary to recycle some reusable packaging to improve resource utilization. Summary of the Invention

This recyclable packaging device is equipped with a locking structure and an unlocking device for the packaging box. During the logistics process, it can protect valuable and private items inside the packaging box and allow the recipient to unlock and open it. In addition, the packaging box and the unlocking device can be recycled, making it more convenient to use.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this recyclable packaging device to solve its technical problem is as follows: A recyclable packaging device is provided, including a packaging box, which includes a box body and a box lid. One side of the top surface of the box body and one side of the box lid are hinged together by a hinge. A locking structure is provided between the box body and the box lid. The device also includes an unlocking device for unlocking the locking structure. The unlocking device is fixedly installed on one side of the top surface of a mounting plate. The other side of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of a recycling bin. A recycling opening is provided on one side of the recycling bin. A combination lock door is hinged to the lower part of one side of the recycling bin.
[0005] Furthermore, the lid is embedded in the box body, and the locking structure includes a movable groove. Several movable grooves are respectively opened between the upper part of the inner wall on the other side of the box body and the other side of the lid. The movable grooves on the box body and the movable grooves on the lid are staggered. Slots corresponding to the movable grooves are respectively opened on the box body and the lid. Movable rods are respectively installed in the movable grooves, and limiting blocks are respectively fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the movable rods.
[0006] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided between the top surface of the box body and the bottom surface of the box lid.
[0007] Furthermore, the unlocking device includes a housing, with several electromagnetic blocks embedded in the front side of the housing. A portion of the movable rod near the outer wall of the housing is a magnet. A DC power supply is installed inside the housing. A PLC controller, an integrated H-bridge chip, and an optocoupler isolation module are fixedly installed inside the housing. The DC power supply is electrically connected to the PLC controller, the integrated H-bridge chip, and the optocoupler isolation module. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the optocoupler isolation module, the optocoupler isolation module is electrically connected to the integrated H-bridge chip, and the electromagnetic blocks are all electrically connected to the integrated H-bridge chip.
[0008] Furthermore, a positioning strip is fixedly installed on the shell, and a positioning groove is opened on one side of the box, with the positioning strip contacting and engaging with the positioning groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the housing also contains a processing chip and a Bluetooth module. Both the processing chip and the Bluetooth module are electrically connected to the power supply, and the processing chip is electrically connected to the PLC controller.
[0010] Furthermore, a control panel is embedded on one side of the recycling bin. The control panel is connected to the processing chip via a Bluetooth module. A photoelectric sensor is fixedly installed at the recycling port. The photoelectric sensor is connected to the control panel circuit. The password door is also connected to the control panel circuit.
[0011] Furthermore, the recycling bin is equipped with a lifting plate. (A motor controlled by a control panel is fixedly installed on one side of the top surface of the inner wall of the recycling bin. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of a screw, which passes through the lifting plate and is threaded together.)
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention provides a recyclable packaging device. Users can place items to be shipped in a packaging box and send the packaging box and unlocking device separately via express delivery. Upon receiving both, the user can unlock the box to retrieve the items. The courier delivering the goods can then collect the packaging box and unlocking device. If the packaging box is placed in a parcel locker, the user can unlock it using the unlocking device and place it into the recycling bin through the recycling port, thus enabling the recycling of the packaging box. The courier then opens the combination lock to retrieve the packaging box from the recycling bin. This invention provides a locking structure and unlocking device for the packaging box, protecting valuable and private items inside during shipping. The recipient can unlock and open the box, and the packaging box and unlocking device can be recycled, making it more convenient to use.
[0013] 2. An example of the present invention is a recyclable packaging device in which the user closes the box lid and slides the packaging box so that a portion of the movable rod can be inserted into the slot, thereby preventing the box lid from being opened. During transportation, regardless of the position of the packaging box, the movable rod is always inserted into the corresponding slot, thereby protecting the items inside the packaging box.
[0014] 3. An example of the present invention is a recyclable packaging device in which a sealing gasket can increase the seal between the box body and the box lid, thereby facilitating the protection of the items inside the packaging box.
[0015] 4. An example of the present invention is a recyclable packaging device. By controlling a PLC controller, operation information is sent to an integrated H-bridge chip, which can output a drive current to power an electromagnet. When one side of the electromagnet on the housing is attached to the other side of the box, it can attract the movable rod on the box and repel the movable rod on the lid, thereby allowing the movable rod to be pulled out of the slot and the lid to be opened. The courier can then carry the unlocking device. The customer can tell the courier the magnetic pole distribution of the magnet on the movable rod, and then the unlocking device can be adjusted and set. After the packaging box is opened, the item can be handed to the customer, and the packaging box can be taken away for recycling.
[0016] 5. In an example of the present invention, a recyclable packaging device is provided, wherein the positioning strip and positioning groove can perform positioning functions, thereby enabling the electromagnetic block to align with the corresponding movable rod.
[0017] 6. An example of the present invention is a recyclable packaging device. Through a Bluetooth module, users can connect via Bluetooth using their mobile phones. The mobile phone can verify the customer's express delivery pickup code and then send the verification information to a processing chip. The processing chip converts the verification information into an electronic signal and sends it to a PLC controller for unlocking. By setting up the processing chip and Bluetooth module, the device can be operated and controlled via a mobile phone, thereby achieving intelligent unlocking control of the mechanical lock.
[0018] 7. An example of the present invention is a recyclable packaging device that is easy for users to operate via a control panel, allowing them to input a pickup code and unlock the locking structure. Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor can detect the packaging box placed in the recycling bin to ensure that the packaging box has been delivered into the recycling bin, thereby preventing loss.
[0019] 8. An example of the present invention is a recyclable packaging device, which can control the rotation direction and angle of the motor output shaft through the control panel. The rotation of the motor output shaft can drive the screw to rotate, and the rotation of the screw can drive the lifting plate to move up and down. When the user puts the packaging box into the recycling bin, the lifting plate can be controlled to move down by the height of one packaging box, thereby avoiding affecting the feeding of the next packaging box, and at the same time supporting the next packaging box.
