DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The present invention includes but is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1-4As shown, the multifunctional intelligent express cabinet provided by the present invention includes: an intelligent cabinet body 1, the intelligent cabinet body 1 adopts the structure and system design of the existing intelligent express cabinet, which will not be repeated here, and has multiple interactive screens for opening the cabinet doors of the storage rooms 2 in different areas. In this embodiment, the intelligent cabinet body 1 is provided with at least two storage areas, namely the temperature control area and the non-temperature control area. Each storage area is provided with multiple storage rooms 2. The storage room 2 in the non-temperature control area is used to store express parcels that do not have high temperature requirements. A temperature control mechanism is provided on the intelligent cabinet body 1, and the temperature control mechanism is used to control the temperature in the storage room 2 in the temperature control area so that its temperature is suitable for storing some fresh items to prevent the temperature from being too high or too low, which may cause damage to the items in the express parcels. The temperature control mechanism includes a temperature control device 3, which is installed on the back of the smart cabinet body 1. The temperature control device 3 can heat and / or cool. A liquid outlet pipe 4 and a liquid return pipe 5 are installed on the temperature control device 3. A plurality of liquid outlet branches 6 are installed on the liquid outlet pipe 4, and a plurality of liquid return branches 7 are installed on the liquid return pipe 5. A U-shaped temperature control tube 8 is installed in the storage room 2, and the two ends of the temperature control tube 8 are respectively connected to the liquid outlet branch 6 and the liquid return branch 7. When in use, the temperature control device 3 adopts different temperature control strategies according to the outdoor temperature. For example, when the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, the temperature control device 3 adopts a heating strategy. When the outside temperature is higher than 15 degrees Celsius, a cooling strategy is adopted. The temperature threshold can be set manually. Of course, according to the specific use environment of the device, the temperature control device 3 can also have only a single cooling or a single heating function. Therefore, the temperature control device 3 can adopt the structural design of the existing temperature control device, and its structure and principle are not repeated here. Taking the outside temperature greater than 30 degrees Celsius as an example, the temperature control device 3 cools the medium (fluid) and discharges the medium into the liquid outlet pipe 4. The medium in the liquid outlet pipe 4 enters the temperature control pipe 8 through the liquid outlet branch pipe 6, so that the temperature control pipe 8 is cooled. , the medium heats up, and the temperature control tube 8 exchanges heat with the air in the storage room 2, lowering the temperature of the storage room 2. The high-temperature medium then flows back to the temperature control device 3 through the return liquid branch pipe 7 and the return liquid pipe 5. The temperature control device 3 cools the medium again, and the temperature in the storage room 2 drops to a temperature range that is conducive to the preservation of fresh items (for example, 15-18°C). This allows the fresh items (such as fruit and vegetable seedlings) in the express parcels stored in the storage room 2 to be better preserved and will not die due to excessive water loss caused by high temperature. Similarly, when the external temperature is low (below 0°C), the temperature control device 3 can heat the storage room 2 to prevent the fresh items in the express parcels in the storage room 2 from freezing. This reduces the possibility of customer complaints due to damaged express items.

[0027] By setting a temperature control mechanism on the smart cabinet body 1, using the temperature control device 3 to heat or cool the medium, using the liquid outlet pipe 4, the liquid return pipe 5, the liquid outlet branch pipe 6, the liquid return branch pipe 7, and the temperature control pipe 8 to circulate the medium, the storage room 2 is temperature-controlled, so that the storage room 2 can be maintained in a temperature range suitable for storing special items, thereby preventing express items from being damaged due to temperature, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing the possibility of customer complaints.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, an electric control valve 9 and a circulation pump 10 are installed near the end of the temperature control tube 8. The electric control valve 9 and the circulation pump 10 are located outside the smart cabinet body 1, and a temperature sensor is installed in the storage room 2. The temperature sensor, the electric control valve 9 and the circulation pump 10 are all connected to the controller. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the storage room 2 and transmits the data to the controller. The controller compares the data with its internal data. If the data exceeds the range, the controller controls the electric control valve 9 to open and the circulation pump 10 to start, so that the liquid outlet branch 6, the liquid return branch 7 and the medium in the temperature control tube 8 flow, and the medium in the liquid outlet pipe 6 enters the temperature control tube 8 to heat up or cool down the storage room 2. When the temperature in the storage room 2 reaches the designed temperature range, the controller controls the electric control valve 9 to close and the circulation pump 10 to stop, so that the storage room 2 can be intermittently cooled or heated, which is beneficial to energy saving.

[0030] By setting up the electric control valve 9 and the circulation pump 10, and installing the temperature sensor, the temperature of a single storage room 2 can be conveniently controlled, so that each storage room 2 can be set with a different storage temperature, which is more suitable for storing different express items and is beneficial to energy saving.

[0031] Example 3:

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a liquid crystal display screen 11 is provided above the storage room 2. The liquid crystal display screen 11 is connected to a temperature sensor and is used to display the internal temperature of the storage room 2 in real time. When the temperature of the storage room 2 is abnormal, it is convenient to repair it.

[0033] By arranging a liquid crystal display screen 11 above the storage room 2, it is convenient to check the internal temperature of the storage room 2 and to facilitate maintenance thereof.

[0034] Example 4:

[0035] like Figure 1-2As shown, a rain shield 12 is installed on the top of the smart cabinet body 1. The rain shield 12 extends to the front of the smart cabinet body 1, exceeding by at least 60 cm. When storing and retrieving express parcels, the rain shield 12 can play a role of sun protection and rain protection, preventing the rain from wetting the mobile phone when storing and retrieving. Therefore, when picking up express parcels in rainy and snowy weather, there is no need to hold an umbrella, which is more convenient to use. This design is mainly for express cabinets installed outdoors.

[0036] By installing a rain shield 12 on the top of the smart cabinet body 1, it is convenient to store and retrieve express parcels when it rains, making it more convenient to use.

[0037] Example 5:

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of induction lamps 13 are installed under the rain shield 12. When the light is insufficient, the plurality of induction lamps 13 can automatically sense the human body, and then the lamp beads or bulbs are powered on to illuminate the bottom, making it convenient for people to store and retrieve express delivery.

[0039] By installing a sensor light 13 under the rain shield 12, the area in front of the express cabinet can be supplemented with light in a timely manner, making it convenient for people to store and retrieve express packages.

[0040] Example 6:

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a photovoltaic panel 14 is installed on the top of the rain shield 12. The photovoltaic panel 14 supplies power to the smart cabinet and the induction lamp 13. The excess electricity is stored in the battery. When in use, except for the temperature control mechanism using AC power, the smart cabinet body 1 and the induction lamp 13 are all powered by the photovoltaic panel 14, which can effectively save electricity and is beneficial to energy conservation and emission reduction to a certain extent.

[0042] By installing the photovoltaic panel 14 on the top of the rain shield 12, clean energy can be used to generate electricity, which is beneficial to energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0043] Working principle: When in use, the temperature control device 3 cools the medium and discharges the medium into the liquid outlet pipe 4. The medium in the liquid outlet pipe 4 enters the temperature control pipe 8 through the liquid outlet branch pipe 6, causing the temperature of the temperature control pipe 8 to cool down. At the same time, the medium heats up, and the temperature control pipe 8 exchanges heat with the air in the storage room 2, causing the temperature of the storage room 2 to drop. Then, the high-temperature medium flows back to the temperature control device 3 through the return liquid branch pipe 7 and the return liquid pipe 5. The temperature control device 3 cools the medium again, and the temperature in the storage room 2 drops to a temperature range that is conducive to the preservation of fresh items. Therefore, the fresh items in the express parcels stored in the storage room 2 can be better preserved and will not wilt or even die due to excessive water loss due to excessive temperature.

[0044] When the outside temperature is low, the temperature control device 3 can heat the storage room 2 through the medium to prevent the fresh items in the express parcels in the storage room 2 from freezing. This reduces the possibility of customer complaints due to damaged express items.
