Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics express delivery, and in particular to an intelligent express delivery cabinet with adjustable storage compartment sizes. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the e-commerce industry, express delivery services are growing rapidly. Express lockers provide users with self-service delivery and retrieval services, meeting their needs for 24 / 7 delivery. Existing express lockers typically have multiple storage compartments of different sizes to store parcels of varying sizes. These compartments are fixed in position, for example, large compartments are located higher up in the locker, while small compartments are located lower down. This means that even if there's space in the lower compartments, users are forced to move large parcels to the higher compartments, making both delivery and retrieval inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an intelligent express cabinet which is convenient for taking and placing express items.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an intelligent express cabinet with adjustable storage compartment size, comprising a cabinet body with an open front end, wherein a plurality of partitions are provided in the cabinet body to separate the cabinet body into a plurality of storage areas, and a plurality of storage compartments are stacked in each storage area, and the storage compartments include an upper frame, a lower frame and an electric telescopic column connected therebetween, and the upper frame, lower frame, cabinet body and partitions of the storage compartments form a space for storing express parcels; in each storage compartment, an electric rolling shutter door is installed at the front end of the upper frame, and a locking member for locking the electric rolling shutter door is installed at the front end of the lower frame.

[0005] Furthermore, it includes a controller component, which is electrically connected to the electric telescopic column and the electric rolling door.

[0006] Furthermore, the door body of the electric rolling door is made of a magnetic material, and the locking member is an electromagnetic lock electrically connected to the controller assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the cabinet is provided with a touch screen electrically connected to the controller assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the cabinet is provided with a surveillance camera electrically connected to the controller assembly.

[0009] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: when storing express parcels, the user can first select a storage compartment that is suitable for the height of the human body, and then operate the electric telescopic column of the storage compartment to adjust the distance between the upper frame and the lower frame according to the size of the express parcel. At the same time, the electric rolling shutter door of the storage compartment synchronously adjusts the lowering length of the door body part, thereby adjusting the overall height of the storage compartment until the storage compartment is of a size suitable for the express parcel. In this way, the user can prioritize storing the express parcels in the storage compartment of his or her choice that is suitable for the height of the human body, making it convenient to store and take out the express parcels. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a smart express locker with adjustable storage compartment size.

[0011] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a storage cell. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0013] Smart express lockers such as Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet 1 comprises an open front end. Two vertical partitions 11 are provided within the cabinet 1. The two partitions 11 divide the open space of the cabinet 1 into three storage areas 12. Each storage area 12 contains five stacked storage cells 2. It should be noted that the number of partitions 11, storage areas 12, and storage cells 2 can be adjusted depending on actual conditions. The cabinet 1 is also equipped with a touch screen 3 and a surveillance camera 4.

[0014] like Figure 2 As shown, the storage compartment 2 includes an upper frame 21, a lower frame 22 and four electric telescopic columns 23 connected therebetween. The upper frame 21 and the lower frame 22 of the storage compartment 2, the cabinet body 1 and the partition 11 form a space for storing express parcels. Since the front end of the cabinet body 1 is open, the front end of the storage compartment 2 is an opening, and the user can store express parcels in the storage compartment 2 or take out express parcels from the storage compartment 2 through the opening. An electric rolling shutter door 24 is installed at the front end of the upper frame 21. The door body of the electric rolling shutter door 24 is made of magnetic material. A locking member 25 for locking the electric rolling shutter door 24 is installed at the front end of the lower frame 22. The locking member 25 is an electromagnetic lock. The electric rolling shutter door 24 is lowered until the locking member 25 locks the electric rolling shutter door 24 to the lower frame 22, and then the electric rolling shutter door 24 closes the opening at the front end of the storage compartment 2.

[0015] The smart express locker includes a controller assembly, primarily composed of a microcontroller unit (MCU) and connecting circuitry. The controller assembly electrically connects each storage compartment 2 to the electric telescopic column 23, electric rolling shutter 24, and locking member 25, as well as to the touchscreen 3 and surveillance camera 4. In the initial state of a storage compartment 2, the locking member 25 locks the electric rolling shutter 24 to the lower frame 22, closing the front opening of the storage compartment 2. When storing express parcels, the user can first select a storage compartment 2 that is suitable for the height of the human body on the touch screen 3, such as selecting one of the storage compartments 2 on the fourth layer, and then select the required storage compartment 2 size on the touch screen 3 according to the size of the express parcel (for example, choose from large, medium, and small sizes). After the controller component receives the storage compartment 2 and its size selected by the user through the touch screen 3, it controls the electric telescopic column 23 of the storage compartment 2 to adjust the distance between the upper frame 21 and the lower frame 22. At the same time, the controller component controls the electric rolling shutter 24 of the storage compartment 2 to synchronously adjust the length of the door body, thereby adjusting the overall height of the storage compartment 2 until the storage compartment 2 is the size suitable for the express parcel. After the size of the storage compartment 2 is adjusted to the right size, the controller component controls the locking member 25 of the storage compartment 2 to no longer lock the electric rolling shutter 24, and then controls the electric rolling shutter 24 to retract, thereby opening the opening at the front end of the storage compartment 2 for the user to place the express parcel. After the user places the express package into the storage compartment 2, they can input a command to close the storage compartment 2 on the touch screen 3. After receiving the command, the controller assembly controls the electric shutter door 24 of the storage compartment 2 to lower it until it contacts the lower frame 22. The controller assembly then controls the locking member 25 to lock the electric shutter door 24 to the lower frame 22, thereby closing the front opening of the storage compartment 2 and storing the express package. During the above-mentioned storage process, regardless of the size of the express package, the user can adjust the size of the storage compartment 2 to prioritize the express package in the storage compartment 2 of their choice that is suitable for human height, making it convenient to store and retrieve the express package.

[0016] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Those skilled in the art can make non-substantial changes or substitutions based on the present invention and still fall within the scope of patent protection.
