[0008] Preferably, the surface of the cabinet is fixed with an extension plate, and two sets of extension plates are provided. The two sets of extension plates are located at the top and bottom of the cabinet door, respectively. The surface of the cabinet door is fixed with a damping strip. The damping strip swings with the cabinet door. After the cabinet door swings, the damping strip can contact the surface of the extension plate and the inner wall of the cargo compartment.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixed to the surface of the cabinet door, and a force-bearing plate is fixed to the end of the connecting plate. The force-bearing plate and the connecting plate swing with the cabinet door, and the force-bearing plate and the connecting plate can extend into the interior of the cargo compartment.
[0010] Preferably, when the cabinet door is closed, the connecting plate at the end of the cabinet door rests on the surface of the baffle, and a magnetic strip is fixed on the surface of the baffle. The magnetic strip can be attracted to the surface of the connecting plate to stabilize the cabinet door in the cargo hold.
[0011] Preferably, the cargo compartment has a circular groove inside, and a second rotating shaft is provided in the groove. The end of the second rotating shaft is connected to a drive device, which is located inside the compartment and can drive the second rotating shaft to rotate.
[0012] Preferably, a connecting ring is fixed to the surface of the second rotating shaft. The connecting ring rotates with the second rotating shaft. A first supporting block and a second supporting block are fixed to the surface of the connecting ring. The first supporting block and the second supporting block are located on both sides of the connecting ring.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The invention proposes that after releasing the handle, the elastic band pulls back, causing the cabinet door to gradually close. The damping strip on the cabinet door surface, as the door swings, presses against the inner wall of the cargo hold, allowing the door to close slowly. After the door closes, the force-bearing plate on the door surface adheres to the magnetic strip on the baffle surface, stabilizing the door. The second rotating shaft then rotates again, driving the first and second supporting blocks to rotate in the opposite direction. This causes the second supporting block to press against the surface of the force-bearing plate, locking the door to the surface of the cargo hold. This achieves door closure without manual intervention, and the closing process is slow and avoids impacting personnel. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a technical solution: Example 1: A shared smart parcel locker with cold chain function includes: a locker body 1, a cargo compartment 2 on the surface of the locker body 1, a locker door 5 on the surface of the cargo compartment 2, a force-bearing plate 8 and a connecting plate 9 fixed on the surface of the locker door 5, a baffle 13 inside the cargo compartment 2, and a first supporting block 15 and a second supporting block 17 inside the cargo compartment 2. The first supporting block 15 and the second supporting block 17 can rotate to stabilize the locker door 5. When the second rotating shaft 16 rotates again, it drives the first supporting block 15 and the second supporting block 17 to rotate in another direction, so that the second supporting block 17 supports the surface of the force-bearing plate 8, locking the locker door 5 to the surface of the cargo compartment 2, so that the locker door 5 does not need to be closed manually.
[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a first pivot 11 is provided at the end of the cabinet door 5. The cabinet door 5 is hinged in the cargo compartment 2 via the first pivot 11. The cabinet door 5 can swing along the first pivot 11. A groove 7 is provided on the surface of the cabinet door 5, and a handle 6 is fixed in the groove 7. The cabinet door 5 swings with the handle 6. When the cabinet door 5 is closed, the connecting plate 9 at the end of the cabinet door 5 presses against the surface of the baffle 13. A magnetic strip 12 is fixed on the surface of the baffle 13. The magnetic strip 12 can be attracted to the surface of the connecting plate 9, stabilizing the cabinet door 5 in the cargo compartment. In section 2, a circular groove 14 is provided inside the cargo compartment 2. A second rotating shaft 16 is installed in the groove 14. The end of the second rotating shaft 16 is connected to a drive device, which is located inside the compartment 1. The drive device can drive the second rotating shaft 16 to rotate. A connecting ring 18 is fixed to the surface of the second rotating shaft 16. The connecting ring 18 rotates with the second rotating shaft 16. A first top holding block 15 and a second top holding block 17 are fixed to the surface of the connecting ring 18. The first top holding block 15 and the second top holding block 17 are located on both sides of the connecting ring 18. The first holding block 15 and the second top holding block 17 rotate with the connecting ring 18, and the first top holding block 15 and the second top holding block 17 can rotate in the circular groove 14. The second rotating shaft 16 can rotate in both directions. When the cabinet door 5 is closed, the first top holding block 15 and the second top holding block 17 rotate. The first top holding block 15 can abut against the surface of the cabinet door 5. When the second rotating shaft 16 rotates in the other direction, the second top holding block 17 can abut against the surface of the force-bearing plate 8. When the handle 6 is pulled, the cabinet door 5 can rotate around the first rotating shaft with the handle 6. The door 5 is swung open by the first pivot 11. When the damping strip 4 is pressed against the surface of the extension plate 3 and the inner wall of the cargo compartment 2, the door 5 can swing slowly. By pulling the handle 6, the door 5 can be swung around the first pivot 11 to remove the cargo from the cargo compartment 2. When the door 5 swings between the extension plates 3, the damping strip 4 on the surface of the door 5 is pressed against the surface of the extension plate 3, making the door 5 temporarily stable. After releasing the pull of the handle 6, the door 5 is gradually closed by the elastic force of the elastic band 10.
[0027] An extension plate 3 is fixed to the surface of the cabinet 1. Two sets of extension plates 3 are provided, located at the top and bottom of the cabinet door 5 respectively. A damping strip 4 is fixed to the surface of the cabinet door 5. The damping strip 4 swings with the cabinet door 5. After the cabinet door 5 swings, the damping strip 4 can contact the surface of the extension plate 3 and the inner wall of the cargo compartment 2. An elastic band 10 is connected to the surface of the cabinet door 5. Two sets of elastic bands 10 are provided. The other end of the elastic band 10 is connected to the inner wall of the cargo compartment 2. The elastic band 10 has a pulling force on the cabinet door 5. Under the pull of the elastic band 10, the cabinet door 5 is in a closed state. After the handle 6 is released, the elastic band 10 pulls back, causing the cabinet door 5 to gradually close. The damping strip 4 on the surface of the cabinet door 5 will press against the inner wall of the cargo compartment 2 after the cabinet door 5 swings, causing the cabinet door 5 to close slowly.
[0028] A connecting plate 9 is fixed to the surface of the cabinet door 5, and a force-bearing plate 8 is fixed to the end of the connecting plate 9. The force-bearing plate 8 and the connecting plate 9 swing with the cabinet door 5. The force-bearing plate 8 and the connecting plate 9 can extend into the interior of the cargo compartment 2, driving the first top holding block 15 and the second top holding block 17 to rotate in the other direction, so that the second top holding block 17 presses against the surface of the force-bearing plate 8, locking the cabinet door 5 to the surface of the cargo compartment 2. This achieves the closing of the cabinet door 5 without human intervention, and the closing process of the cabinet door 5 is slow and will not hit personnel.
[0029] When retrieving items, the rotation of the second pivot 16 drives the first and second supporting blocks 15 and 17 to rotate, causing the first supporting block 15 to press against the end of the cabinet door 5, opening the cabinet door 5. By pulling the handle 6, the cabinet door 5 can be swung around the first pivot 11 to retrieve the goods from the cargo compartment 2. When the cabinet door 5 swings between the extension plates 3, the damping strip 4 on the surface of the cabinet door 5 presses against the surface of the extension plates 3, making the cabinet door 5 temporarily stable. After releasing the pull on the handle 6, the elastic band 10 pulls back, causing the cabinet door 5 to gradually close, and the damping strip 4 on the surface of the cabinet door 5... As the cabinet door 5 swings, it will press against the inner wall of the cargo hold 2, causing the cabinet door 5 to close slowly. After the cabinet door 5 closes, the force plate 8 on the surface of the cabinet door 5 can be attracted to the surface of the magnetic strip 12 on the surface of the baffle 13, stabilizing the cabinet door 5. The second rotating shaft 16 rotates again, driving the first supporting block 15 and the second supporting block 17 to rotate in another direction, so that the second supporting block 17 presses against the surface of the force plate 8, locking the cabinet door 5 to the surface of the cargo hold 2. This achieves the closing of the cabinet door 5 without human intervention, and the closing process of the cabinet door 5 is slow and will not hit personnel.
