Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of storage cabinet door structure technology, specifically to a sliding door structure suitable for intelligent storage cabinets that has sealing and locking functions. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most existing smart lockers (such as parcel lockers, vending machines, and file storage cabinets) use structures like double doors, sliding doors, or roller shutters. These doors often rely solely on simple mechanical locks or magnetic closures, resulting in insufficient sealing and clamping force. This is especially problematic outdoors or in environments with large temperature differences, where inadequate sealing and the intrusion of dust or moisture can easily occur. Furthermore, existing sliding doors lack an effective clamping mechanism during closure, leading to gaps between the door and the cabinet body, affecting insulation, moisture resistance, and security. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a door structure that automatically achieves a tight seal when closed, thereby improving the overall performance and lifespan of the locker.

When it detects that the sliding door has reached the top position, it controls the sliding door to stop moving. The lower contact switch is located below the door frame opening. When it detects that the sliding door has reached the bottom position, it controls the sliding door to stop moving.
[0010] Furthermore, the bending angles of the upper guide groove and the lower guide groove are 90° to 150° to ensure that the sliding door can be tightly pressed together when it rises to the top.
[0011] Furthermore, a sealing strip is provided at the edge where the sliding door contacts the door frame.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a controller that receives signals from the upper and lower contact switches and controls the start and stop of the drive motor.
[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1.
