[0021] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] Referring to 4-10, a schematic diagram is shown of an embodiment of the present invention in which the cabinet door 102 automatically closes to prevent users from forgetting to close the door after mailing or retrieving items. Further,

[0023] A smart parcel locker includes a locker body 101. A locker door 102 is rotatably connected to the locker body 101 via bearings. Two limit rods 201 are fixedly connected to the locker body 101 via bolts. A support plate 202 is slidably connected to the two limit rods 201. A push rod 206 is fixedly connected to the support plate 202 via bolts. The push rod 206 is attached to the inner wall of the locker door 102. A first hook 103 and a second hook 104 are welded and fixedly connected to the locker door 102. Multiple guide rods 305 are slidably connected to the support plate 202. An electronic scale 301 is fixedly connected to the multiple guide rods 305 via bolts. A spring 306 is sleeved on each guide rod 305. The spring 306 is located between the support plate 202 and the electronic scale 301. A pressure sensor 207 is installed on the support plate 202. A host computer and a drive mechanism are installed on the locker body 101. The host computer is interconnected with the pressure sensor 207 and the drive mechanism.

[0024] The cabinet 101 is used to protect the items, the cabinet door 102 is used to store and retrieve items, the electronic scale 301 is used to place the items to be stored and retrieved, the support plate 202 is used to support the items, and the host computer can control the drive mechanism.

[0025] When items need to be sent out, the user operates the host computer to control the drive mechanism to slide the support plate 202 outward on the two limit rods 201. The support plate 202 drives the electronic scale 301 to move outward. At the same time, the support plate 202 drives the push rod 206 to push the cabinet door 102 open, so that the cabinet door 102 changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state. At this time, the items to be sent out can be placed on the electronic scale 301. When the push rod 206 contacts the second hook 104, the support plate 202 stops moving. The function of the second hook 104 is to limit the push rod 206. The second hook 104 locks the push rod 206 to prevent the cabinet door 102 from rotating upward. The function of the cabinet door 102 after it is opened is to cover the items to be sent out, so as to prevent rainwater from entering the electronic scale 301 or getting wet on the items.

[0026] The electronic scale 301 can measure the weight of the item to be shipped, making it convenient for the courier to calculate the delivery fee directly based on the weight, without needing to bring their own scale. When an item is placed on the electronic scale 301, multiple guide rods 305 on the electronic scale 301 slide downwards under the action of gravity, causing the electronic scale 301 to move downwards and contact the pressure sensor 207. At the same time, multiple springs 306 are compressed by force, and the pressure sensor 207 transmits a signal to the host computer. The host computer issues a command to control the drive mechanism to drive the support plate 202 to slide inwards, sending the item into the cabinet 101. At the same time, the push rod 206 slides inwards. When the push rod 206 contacts the first hook 103, the push rod 206 pulls the cabinet door 102 downwards to a vertical position, thereby realizing the automatic closing function. The function of the first hook 103 is to cooperate with the push rod 206 to lock the cabinet door 102, so that the cabinet door 102 cannot be opened arbitrarily without the operation of the host computer after automatic closing, thus realizing the safety protection function.

[0027] By utilizing the characteristics of the pressure sensor 207, the host computer can identify whether an item has been placed on it, and automatically close the cabinet door 102 after the item is placed or removed, thus preventing users from forgetting to close the door after sending or taking out items. If the user opens the cabinet door 102 but does not place an item on the electronic scale 301 or takes out an item, and the pressure sensor 207 is not subjected to pressure, the host computer will still issue a command to automatically close the cabinet door 102 after a period of time, thus preventing the equipment from being exposed to the outside for a long time and causing damage.

[0028] This parcel locker uses a telescopic support plate 202 to send and receive items, aiming to provide convenience for users. Conventional parcel lockers allow users to send and receive items directly after opening the door. When the items are large, it is difficult for people to reach in and the operating space is limited. In contrast, this parcel locker has more operating space for people.

[0029] See Figure 8 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the invention capable of displaying weight data is shown, further,

[0030] The electronic scale 301 is equipped with a display panel 304.

[0031] Display panel 304 is used to display the weight data of the item measured by electronic scale 301, so that the courier can directly calculate the delivery fee without having to bring his own electronic scale.

[0032] See Figure 5 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the drive support plate 202 sliding according to the present invention is shown. Further,

[0033] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 203, which is fixedly connected to the cabinet 101 by bolts. A rack 205 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 202 by bolts. A gear 204 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 203, and the gear 204 meshes with the rack 205 for transmission.

[0034] The host computer controls the drive motor 203 to drive the gear 204 to rotate. The gear 204 and the rack 205 work together to drive the support plate 202 to slide, thus realizing the function of sending and receiving items.

[0035] See Figure 8 A schematic diagram showing the increase in friction between the article and the electronic scale 301 according to the present invention is shown. Further,

[0036] The electronic scale 301 has anti-slip ridges 302 inside.

[0037] When an item is placed inside the electronic scale 301, it moves outward along with the support plate 202 when it needs to be removed. Under the action of inertia, it will slide outward. The anti-slip ridges 302 can increase the friction between the item and the electronic scale 301, preventing the item from sliding due to inertia and causing potential damage.

[0038] See Figure 8 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the invention further increasing the frictional force between the article and the electronic scale 301 is shown.

[0039] The electronic scale 301 has two elastic bands 303 that are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0040] The two elastic bands 303 are elastic and can be pressed onto the object, thereby further increasing the friction between the object and the electronic scale 301 and playing a role in stable positioning.

[0041] See Figure 8 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention that prevents round, difficult-to-secure items from rolling off the electronic scale 301 is shown. Further,

[0042] The electronic scale 301 is equipped with protective plates around its perimeter.

[0043] The guard plate further protects the items and prevents round, difficult-to-secure items from rolling off the electronic scale 301.

[0044] See Figure 1-2 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the invention capable of obscuring private items. Further,

[0045] The cabinet 101 has a storage box 401 fixedly connected to both sides by bolts. The storage box 401 has an opening. A folding curtain 403 is fixedly connected to the storage box 401 by bolts. The folding curtain 403 is a light-blocking curtain with pleats that is easy to store.

[0046] When in use, the user can pull one end of the folding curtain 403 to unfold it, thereby covering private items when sending them out and ensuring the user's privacy. The storage box 401 is used to store the folding curtain 403. After use, the folding curtain 403 can be folded and put into the storage box 401.

[0047] See Figure 1-2 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention that facilitates the unfolding and storage of the folding curtain 403 is shown. Further,

[0048] Inside the housing 401, two rotating shafts 402 are fixedly connected by bolts, and two folding curtains 403 are rotatably connected to the rotating shafts 402 by bearings.

[0049] When in use, the user pulls one end of the folding curtain 403, which unfolds along the axis of the pivot 402. The unfolded folding curtain 403 is fan-shaped, which can cover items. After use, it can be folded along the axis of the pivot 402 for easy storage.

[0050] See Figure 1-2 This illustrates an embodiment of the invention in which the use of a folding curtain 403 can be selected according to actual needs. Further,

[0051] Two folding curtains 403 are fixedly connected to hanging ears 405 at one end by bolts, and hanging rods 105 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cabinet door 102 by bolts.

[0052] When the folding curtain 403 is needed, the user hangs the ear 405 on the hanging rod 105 in advance. When the cabinet door 102 is opened upward, the folding curtain 403 can automatically open along with the cabinet body 101. As items are moved outward, the folding curtain 403 can always cover them, further ensuring personal privacy.

[0053] When the folding curtain 403 is not needed, the hanging ear 405 can be removed from the hanging rod 105. Thus, when the cabinet door 102 is opened, the folding curtain 403 will always remain in the storage box 401. Therefore, it is possible to choose whether to use the folding curtain 403 according to actual needs.

[0054] See Figure 1-2 This illustrates an embodiment of the invention that facilitates the neat storage of the folding curtain 403. Further,

[0055] The lower ends of both folding curtains 403 are fixedly connected with multiple counterweights 404 by bolts. The multiple counterweights 404 can cause the lower ends of the folding curtains 403 to have a downward tendency, so that when the folding curtains 403 are folded up, the folding curtains 403 can be neatly stored under the gravity of the multiple counterweights 404.
