However, the use of more electric control modules or network control modules in express lockers will increase the energy consumption caused by express lockers, which is not in line with the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0041] Most of the existing express lockers are placed downstairs in residential communities. Due to the fixed spatial layout, the time for users to pick up packages cannot be unified, resulting in random storage containers for packages. Couriers often need to move around frequently when storing and retrieving packages, which not only reduces work efficiency but also increases energy consumption. In addition, some packages still need to be delivered to the user's door by couriers, resulting in high labor and time costs.

[0042] Based on this, Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a square mechanical express post box, including a box body 1, a cabinet door 2, a parcel storage port 3 and a closing component 4.

[0043] The square mechanical express post box disclosed in the present invention is arranged downstairs in the community, and the box body 1 is divided into a plurality of storage compartments 11, and the express parcel can be placed in the storage compartment 11, so that each household can correspond to a storage compartment 11, so as to facilitate the storage and access of the express parcel. At least one side of the storage compartment 11 is arranged to be open, so the express parcel can be placed in the storage compartment 11 through the opening, and the storage compartment 11 on one side of the box body 1 is provided with a cabinet door 2, and the closing component 4 arranged on the box body 1 can close the opening of all the storage compartments 11 to ensure the safety of the express parcel. The courier can open the closing component 4 to place the parcel in the corresponding storage compartment 11, and the user can open the corresponding cabinet door 2 on the side of the box body 1 where the cabinet door 2 is arranged to take the express parcel. Not only is it convenient for the courier to store the parcel, but the square mechanical express post box does not need to adopt an electric control module or a network control module to realize the accurate storage and access of the express parcel, while taking into account efficient storage, it can also reduce carbon emissions, and achieve the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0044] The following will describe in detail the various parts of a square mechanical express post box proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0045] Embodiment 1:

[0046] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, a square mechanical express post box can be set downstairs in a residential area, including a box body 1, a cabinet door 2, a parcel storage port 3, and a closing component 4. In this embodiment, the box body 1 is a square shell structure that is open from front to back. The interior of the box body 1 is divided into multiple storage compartments 11 by multiple partitions. Each storage compartment 11 is a square compartment that is open from front to back. The storage compartment 11 can be used to place express parcels. A cabinet door 2 is set on the opening on one side of each storage compartment 11, so that one side of the storage compartment 11 can be closed by the cabinet door 2, and the other side is open as a parcel placement port. The courier places each parcel in the corresponding storage compartment 11 from the parcel placement port, and the user opens the cabinet door 2 of the corresponding storage compartment 11 to take the express parcel.

[0047] Furthermore, a locking device is provided on the cabinet door 2, and one storage compartment 11 corresponds to one user, and each user can only unlock the locking device of the cabinet door 2 corresponding to the storage compartment 11. The square mechanical express post box in this embodiment is set downstairs in the community unit, so that each household corresponds to a storage compartment 11, and each user can only open the locking device on the cabinet door 2 of his own storage compartment 11, which helps users to accurately take their own express parcels, and users understand the storage status of their own storage compartments 11, so there is no need to consider the timeliness of the storage of express parcels. Of course, multiple users can also share one storage compartment 11 according to actual usage needs.

[0048] In addition, the number of storage compartments 11 and the size of the box body 1 can be determined according to the number of users in the unit. The present disclosure does not make specific restrictions on this, ensuring that each household can correspond to at least one storage compartment 11. The size of the storage compartment 11 can be set according to actual needs. A larger storage compartment 11 can be set, or the size of the storage compartment 11 can be set according to actual usage.

[0049] It should be noted that when a large storage compartment 11 is provided, all users can share the large storage compartment 11, and the locking device of the large storage compartment 11 is unlocked by the courier. For example, the locking device of the large storage compartment 11 is a password lock, and when a user needs to take a large express package, the courier can convey the password to the user.

[0050] For example, there are 18 users in a residential unit where a square mechanical express delivery box is set up. The storage compartment 11 can be composed of two large storage compartments 11 and eighteen regular storage compartments 11. The two large storage compartments 11 are set at the bottom layer of the box body 1, and the eighteen regular storage compartments 11 are evenly arranged in three layers. The height and width of the regular storage compartment 11 are both 42 cm and the depth is 50 cm. The height of the large storage compartment 11 is 60 cm, the width is 126 cm, and the depth is 50 cm. Each user corresponds to a storage compartment 11, and larger packages can be placed in the large storage compartment 11.

[0051] At the same time, in this embodiment, a marking component 21 can be set on each cabinet door 2, and a marking component 21 identical to that on the cabinet door 2 is set on one side of each storage compartment 11 near the package storage port 3. For example, the marking component 21 is a nameplate of the user's door number information, and the user can accurately find his own storage compartment 11 according to the marking component 21 on the cabinet door 2 to ensure the accuracy of picking up the express package. In addition, when storing the express package, the courier can also confirm the information through the marking component 21 inside the storage compartment 11 to ensure the accuracy of the storage of the express package. In order to ensure the safety of the express package in the storage compartment 11, the closing component 4 can be used to close the storage compartment 11.

[0052] The closure component 4 is described in detail below:

[0053] The closing component 4 is arranged on one side of the box body 1, and is used to close all the parcel storage openings 3. Through the closing component 4 and the cabinet door 2, all the storage compartments 11 can be closed, and the closing component 4 can be locked, and only the courier can unlock it to ensure the safety of the parcels in the storage compartments 11. In addition, when the closing component 4 is switched to the closed state, all the storage compartments 11 can be closed at the same time, which can improve the efficiency of express parcel storage while ensuring the safety of the parcels.

[0054] For example, the closing component 4 may be a rolling door, the covering size of which may be consistent with the size of one side of the box body 1, and all the storage compartments 11 may be closed at the same time by pulling down the rolling door. When storing express parcels, the courier opens the rolling door and places the parcels in the corresponding storage compartments 11. After storage is completed, the rolling door is pulled down and locked. Of course, the closing component 4 may also be a sliding door, etc., which is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

[0055] It should be noted that if the closing component 4 is a rolling door, a sliding door, etc., when the square mechanical express box is installed, there is a certain distance between the box body 1 and the building wall, and this distance is sufficient for the closing component 4 to be opened and the courier to store the express parcel; when the square mechanical express box is installed next to the building and against the building wall, the building wall can be used as a closing component 4. When the express parcel needs to be stored, the box body 1 can be moved a certain distance away from the building wall for the courier to store the parcel.

[0056] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the square mechanical express post box may also include a base 5, and the box body 1 is fixed on the base 5. When the square mechanical express post box is installed against the wall of a building, a slide rail 6 is fixed on the ground, and the slide rail 6 is perpendicular to the wall surface of the building. A slide groove adapted to the slide rail 6 is provided on the base 5, so that the base 5 can slide on the slide rail 6. Through the cooperation between the slide rail 6 and the slide groove, the box body 1 can be easily moved.

[0057] It should be noted that the slide rail 6 can be folded and stored in the base 5. When the parcel is not needed to be stored, the slide rail 6 is folded and stored below the base 5 to prevent the slide rail 6 from blocking the user who takes the express parcel.

[0058] A limit assembly 7 may also be provided on both sides of the box 1 to limit the sliding distance of the box 1. For example, the limit assembly 7 includes a limit ruler and a limit column, the limit ruler is fixed on the wall of the building, a closed strip slide groove is provided inside the limit ruler, the limit column is fixed on the side of the box 1, the limit column is inserted into the strip slide groove, when the box 1 slides, the limit column slides in the strip slide groove, the strip slide groove can limit the sliding distance of the limit column, and further limit the sliding distance of the box 1.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the storage compartment 11 is provided with an inclined surface 12, and the inclined surface 12 is inclined downward along the direction from the package storage opening 3 to the cabinet door 2. Specifically, the inclined surface 12 is provided at the bottom of the storage compartment 11, and the height of the end of the inclined surface 12 close to the package storage opening 3 is higher than the height of the end close to the cabinet door 2. When the express parcel is put into the storage compartment 11 from the package storage opening 3, the express parcel can slide in the direction close to the cabinet door 2 under the action of gravity, which is convenient for users to take the express parcel and can also prevent the express parcel from falling out of the package storage opening 3.

[0060] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage compartment 11 between the inclined surface 12 and the cabinet door 2 is a horizontal plane. Specifically, the bottom of the storage compartment 11 is a horizontal plane, a gradually rising inclined surface 12, and a horizontal plane in the direction from the cabinet door 2 to the package storage opening 3. After the express package is placed in the storage compartment 11 from the package storage opening 3, the inclined surface 12 can facilitate the express package to move toward the cabinet door 2 to facilitate the user to take it; and the horizontal plane between the cabinet door 2 and the inclined surface 12 can prevent the package from sliding directly to the cabinet door 2, avoiding the risk of the package falling when the user opens the cabinet door 2 to take the package.

[0061] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the square mechanical express post box further includes a stop bar 13, which is fixed to the bottom of the storage compartment 11, and the stop bars 13 are provided at the openings near both sides of the bottom of the storage compartment 11. Specifically, the stop bars 13 are fixed to the side of the bottom of the storage compartment 11 close to the cabinet door 2 and the side close to the package storage port 3. The stop bars 13 can be a bar-shaped block fixed to the bottom of the storage compartment 11, and the length direction of the stop bars 13 is parallel to the open plane of the storage compartment 11. The stop bars 13 can prevent the express parcels in the storage compartment 11 from falling from the cabinet door 2 or the package storage port 3, further ensuring the safety of the express parcels.

[0062] Exemplarily, the square mechanical express box also includes a ceiling 8. The ceiling 8 is arranged above the box body 1, and the side of the ceiling 8 close to the cabinet door 2 is tilted downward and extends in the direction away from the box body 1. Specifically, the ceiling 8 can be a square plate structure fixed on the top of the box body 1, and the ceiling 8 can cover the box body 1 to protect the box body 1. When the box body 1 is installed against the wall of a building, the side of the ceiling 8 close to the wall can be in contact with the wall, and the side of the ceiling 8 away from the wall is tilted downward to facilitate rainwater to flow down. The specific structure and shape of the ceiling 8 are not specifically limited in this disclosure.

[0063] Embodiment 2:

[0064] This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, only one side of the storage compartment 11 is open, the cabinet door 2 and the package storage port 3 are located on the same side of the storage compartment 11, and multiple cabinet doors 2 are arranged on the closing component 4. When the closing component 4 is in a closed state, the cabinet door 2 can be used as the closing component 4 to close the storage compartment 11. For example, the closing component 4 can be a double-door structure arranged on one side of the box body 1, and the multiple cabinet doors 2 are all arranged on the closing component 4. When the double-door structure is rotated to open the closing component 4, the cabinet door 2 can rotate with the closing component 4, so that all the storage compartments 11 can be connected to the outside, and the courier can store the express package through the package storage port 3; and when the closing component 4 is closed and the double-door structure is locked, the user can open the corresponding cabinet door 2 to take the express. It is convenient for couriers to store packages, which is conducive to the accurate storage and retrieval of express packages and can improve the efficiency of express package storage.
