Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of express delivery cabinets, and in particular to an express delivery cabinet suitable for multiple deliveries. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce, express delivery has become an essential part of people's lives and work. Existing express lockers have multiple slots, each typically capable of accommodating only one package. Delivery personnel must sequentially open and remove packages from each slot to pick up or send packages. During the delivery process, since each package is stored in a different slot, delivery personnel often have to run back and forth between the various slots of the locker, reducing delivery efficiency.

[0003] Currently, self-service express lockers on the market have multiple slots, each of which can generally only accommodate one package. First, packages for the same recipient delivered by different couriers cannot be delivered to the same slot. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the courier delivering later will steal the package delivered earlier. Second, the recipient cannot retrieve all of their packages from the same slot. To do so, they need to open multiple slots in sequence, running back and forth between the various slots of the locker, which takes up the recipient's time and reduces the efficiency of the package. Finally, because each slot can only deliver one package, a large amount of space is wasted in each slot. Finally, in order to accommodate the number of packages of different sizes as much as possible, the operators of self-service express lockers design slots of various sizes. As a result, slightly larger packages cannot be placed in the slots, requiring the recipient to sign for them in person.

[0004] Currently, there are express delivery boxes on the market that can accommodate multiple deliveries. However, these boxes have interconnected delivery ports and storage compartments, lacking effective partitions. This poses a safety hazard: packages could be stolen from the delivery port. Furthermore, because multiple packages are dropped into the delivery port, the recipient must squat to unlock the door and retrieve the package from the bottom of the cabinet. This can lead to inconvenience and the possibility of packages getting stuck, hindering smooth retrieval. Furthermore, elderly people who stand up after squatting face a risk of sudden increases in blood pressure, potentially leading to cerebral hemorrhage.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the prior art, a courier cabinet suitable for multiple deliveries is provided. Utility Model Content
