[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A large storage shaft 6 is rotatably connected between the left and right inner walls of the large storage tank 2, a small storage shaft 7 is rotatably connected between the two inner walls of the two small storage tanks 3, a worm gear 16 is fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the two small storage shafts 7, a fixed plate 17 is fixedly connected to the two inner walls of the processing tank 4, a worm 18 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 17 and the inner bottom wall of the processing tank 4, each worm 18 is meshed with the worm gear 16 adjacent to it, a support plate 19 is fixedly connected to the left and right inner walls of the processing tank 4, a motor 20 is fixedly installed inside the two support plates 19, and the output ends of the two motors 20 are meshed with the worm 18 adjacent to it, and through the arrangement of the worm 18 and the worm gear 16, the purpose of flipping the small closing plate 10 can be achieved.

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A letter shaft 8 is rotatably connected between the left and right inner walls of the letter slot 5, a large closing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the large storage shaft 6, and small closing plates 10 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two small storage shafts 7. A letter closing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the letter shaft 8. A letter slot 12 is provided on the front of the letter closing plate 11. Four limit plates 22 arranged in a matrix are fixedly connected to the right sides of the letter closing plate 11 and the large closing plate 9, and a sliding rod 23 is fixedly connected between every two adjacent limit plates 22. Electric push rods 24 are fixedly installed on the left and right inner walls of the letter slot 5 and the left and right inner walls of the large storage slot 2, and a sliding block 25 is slidably connected to the outer surface of each sliding rod 23. The output end of each electric push rod 24 is hinged to the sliding block 25 adjacent to it. By setting the electric push rod 24, the purpose of switching the letter closing plate 11 and the large closing plate 9 can be achieved.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In addition, two photoelectric sensors 15 are installed on the back of the letter closing plate 11, and the two photoelectric sensors 15 are optically connected. The letter slot 12 is located between the two photoelectric sensors 15. Through the setting of the photoelectric sensors 15, it is convenient for the user to judge whether there is a letter inserted. A control host 27 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the processing slot 4. The wireless data transmission module 26, the photoelectric sensor 15, the motor 20, the electric push rod 24, and the weight sensor 13 are all electrically connected to the control host 27.

[0036] A split mailbox in the present embodiment can classify and store packages according to their size by means of the large storage slot 2 and the small storage slot 3, thereby improving the overall storage efficiency. The photoelectric sensor 15 can monitor the letter slot 5. When a letter is received, a reminder can be sent to the user through the wireless data transmission module 26 to avoid the user leaving the letter in the mailbox. The wireless data transmission module 26 and the control host 27 can be used to remotely control the letter closing plate 11, the large closing plate 9 and the small closing plate 10 to avoid the loss of items. The weight sensor 13 can facilitate the user to judge whether the delivery personnel have placed the items inside the box 1.

[0037] It should be noted that the large closing plate 9, the small closing plate 10 and the letter closing plate 11 can automatically reset after being opened for a certain period of time, so as to avoid the situation where the user forgets to close and causes the loss of items.

[0038] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: when the delivery personnel deliver the package, they can remotely control the opening of the large closing plate 9 or the small closing plate 10 through the wireless data transmission module 26 according to the size of the package, so as to facilitate the placement of the package by the delivery personnel. When the delivery personnel have completed the placement, the weight sensor 13 can monitor the weight of the item, and then the control host 27 can automatically reset the opened large closing plate 9 or small closing plate 10, which can effectively avoid the loss of the item. When the delivery personnel delivers the letter through the letter slot 5, the two photoelectric sensors 15 are blocked, and data can be sent to the remote through the wireless data transmission module 26 to remind the recipient.
