[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a mobile parcel locker with a variable cabinet layout includes a tricycle-mounted platform 1, on which two unit cabinets are arranged opposite each other. Each unit cabinet includes a main cabinet 2 and two auxiliary cabinets 3 arranged side by side. The length of the platform 1 is equal to the sum of the length of one main cabinet 2 and the width of the two auxiliary cabinets 3, and the width of the platform 1 is equal to the sum of the width of the two main cabinets 2 and the width of the two auxiliary cabinets 3. Both auxiliary cabinets 3 are distributed facing the main cabinet 2 and can be unfolded or closed relative to the main cabinet 2 through connecting components. The unfolding angle between the auxiliary cabinets 3 and the main cabinet 2 is 90°. When unfolded, the auxiliary cabinets 3 are supported on the ground by retractable support components. A latch 4 is provided between the two auxiliary cabinets 3 to prevent the parcel locker from unfolding on its own during movement. A handle 5 is provided on the outward-facing side of the auxiliary cabinet 3 to facilitate the courier to manually unfold or close the auxiliary cabinet 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, both the main cabinet 2 and the secondary cabinet 3 are single-sided opening structures.
