Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of delivery boxes, and particularly to a panel self - returning mechanism for a delivery box. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate postmen to deliver mails, parcels and other items, individuals, enterprises or other groups often need to set up a delivery box outdoors. The postman delivers mails and other items through the delivery opening, and the user can open the box door of the delivery box at any time to take out the items.

[0003] Most delivery boxes will have at least one rotatable panel as the cabinet door for taking and placing items. Such a cabinet door often uses a simple shaft to rotate the panel. The panel needs to keep a certain distance from the opening of the delivery box to rotate. In this rotation method, whether the shaft is horizontally placed or vertically placed, the panel will often rub against the box body due to gravity or the overall tendency of the movable panel to one side, resulting in paint peeling or the movable panel becoming difficult to rotate. This phenomenon not only appears in delivery boxes, but also appears in many boxes with rotatable movable panels.

[0004] The above content is only used to assist in understanding the technical solution of this application, and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art to this application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, this application provides a panel self - returning mechanism for a delivery box to solve one of the above - mentioned technical problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problems is a panel self - returning mechanism for a delivery box, which includes: a box body, with several openings on one side; a rotating connection shaft, with springs sleeved at both ends to form an annular convex part to abut against one end of the spring, and the rotating connection shaft is rotatably arranged at both ends of the opening; a movable panel, rotatably arranged on the rotating connection shaft, and abutting surfaces are formed at both ends of the movable panel to be penetrated by the rotating connection shaft and abutted by one end of the spring; the spring is used to apply a force that makes both ends of the movable panel move outward simultaneously to make the movable panel automatically return to the central position.

[0007] In some embodiments, one of the openings or the openings is a delivery opening, the delivery opening is opened above the box body, and the rotating connection shaft is horizontally placed at the top of the delivery opening.

[0008] In some embodiments, one of the openings or the openings is a pick - up opening, the pick - up opening is opened on the front panel of the box body, and the rotating connection shaft is vertically placed on one side of the pick - up opening.

[0009] In some embodiments, the opening includes a delivery port and a pick-up port. The delivery port is opened above the box body, and the pick-up port is opened below the box body. The first rotating connection shaft is horizontally arranged, and the second rotating connection shaft is vertically arranged.

[0010] In some embodiments, a keyhole is installed on one side of the movable panel below the box body to lock and unlock the movable panel.

[0011] In some embodiments, a plurality of round holes are opened on the back of the box body.

[0012] The beneficial effect of the present application is that the existence of the spring makes the two ends of the movable panel always under the force of pushing outwards, so that the movable panel is always located at the midpoint of the axis of the rotating connection shaft. No matter which side the movable panel is pushed, the spring will always reset the movable panel, which makes the movable panel not rub against the box body during the rotation process, and eliminates the phenomena of paint peeling and difficult rotation of the box body caused by the rotation of the movable panel.
