Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of damping covers, and particularly to a damping cover for a box body. Background Art

[0002] As an important tool for information and item delivery, a mailbox often needs to be placed in an open area for convenient delivery. However, bad weather has a significant impact on the items inside the mailbox. Therefore, a cover is often set up to prevent rainwater from seeping into the mailbox through the letter slot and causing an impact. However, for traditional rotatable covers, when a courier needs to deliver a letter, the traditional cover often uses a simple rotating shaft structure without any buffering. When the courier pulls open the cover, puts the letter in, and then directly releases it, the cover will fall naturally, generating noise or causing an impact on the box body. At the same time, at night, when it is necessary to deliver mail, due to poor visibility, it is difficult to deliver, and additional lighting is required to assist in the delivery.

[0003] 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

[0004] Based on this, this application provides a damping cover for a box body to solve one of the above technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problems is a damping cover for a box body, including: a box body, including an upper letter slot area, a newspaper barrel area, and a lower accommodation area, and a letter slot is opened at the top of the upper letter slot area; a cover, rotatably arranged on the top of the box body for protecting the letter slot, and cover support frames are installed on both sides inside the cover; a rotating shaft part, including a damping rotating shaft, a first rotating shaft fixing part, and a second rotating shaft fixing part. A fixing key is arranged on the outer periphery of the damping rotating shaft. At least a part of the rotating shaft of the damping rotating shaft extends out of the box body and cooperates with the cover support frame. A locking groove is opened on the rotating shaft to prevent the rotating shaft from disengaging from the cover support frame. The first rotating shaft fixing part and the second rotating shaft fixing part are installed on the inner wall of the box body and form an accommodation cavity with the box body. The damping rotating shaft is arranged in the accommodation cavity. A fixing groove is opened on the first rotating shaft fixing part to cooperate with the fixing key to prevent the overall rotation of the damping rotating shaft.

[0006] In some embodiments, a solar power generation panel is installed on the upper letter slot area, and light strips are installed on both the upper letter slot area and the newspaper barrel area, which are powered by the solar power generation panel.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first rotating shaft fixing part is installed on the inner wall of the box body by rivets, and the second rotating shaft fixing part is fixed to the box body by detachable screwing.

[0008] In some embodiments, a rotating fixing member is provided on the first rotating shaft fixing member, and manual bending is used to fix the damping rotating shaft instead of the second rotating shaft fixing member.

[0009] In some embodiments, a round hole into which the rotating shaft is inserted and rotates is formed in the box body, and a square hole into which the rotating shaft is inserted is formed in the cover support frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, the second rotating shaft fixing member is generally L-shaped, one side of which is installed on the inner wall of the box body, and the other side abuts against one side of the first rotating shaft fixing member.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the presence of the damping rotating shaft causes the mailbox cover to slowly descend under the action of the damping rotating shaft after being opened, effectively reducing the noise and the impact of the cover on the box body. The first rotating shaft fixing member and the second rotating shaft fixing member effectively fix the damping rotating shaft to prevent the overall rotation of the damping rotating shaft. The detachable second rotating shaft fixing member also facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the damping rotating shaft. At the same time, the solar panel installed in the upper letter slot area supplies power to the light strip at night to optimize the vision for assisting in delivery.
