Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of stacking devices, specifically, it relates to a mailbox with remote monitoring. Background Technology
[0002] Mailboxes are an important medium for users to receive mail and various bills. With the development of society, mailboxes have become an indispensable necessity in life. Mailboxes have gone through a development process from wooden mailboxes, iron mailboxes to stainless steel mailboxes, and then to smart mailboxes, and have now formed a product series covering three major categories: smart mailboxes, ordinary mailboxes, and villa mailboxes.
[0003] However, most existing mailboxes do not have the function of monitoring and alerting. When it is necessary to check whether there are any mailboxes inside, the mailbox must be opened manually, which is quite troublesome for users.
[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problem that most existing mailboxes lack monitoring and alert functions, requiring manual opening to check for mail, which is inconvenient for users, the basic concept of this invention is as follows:
[0006] A mailbox with remote monitoring, comprising a mailbox;
[0007] A rotating shaft is mounted on the outer wall of the mailbox. A monitoring and alerting mechanism is installed inside the mailbox. Below the monitoring and alerting mechanism is a categorized storage mechanism. The monitoring and alerting mechanism includes a first door mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft.
[0008] A second door is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first mailbox door. A sliding groove is provided at the top of the inner wall of the mailbox. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A slider is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod. A spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider. The end of the spring away from the outer wall of the slider is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A force-bearing rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slider. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the force-bearing rod away from the slider. A first conductive plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod away from the outer wall of the force-bearing rod. A second conductive plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mailbox. A monitor is installed on the inner wall of the mailbox below the second conductive plate.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the classification and storage mechanism includes a storage plate installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the mailbox, a limiting groove is formed at the top of the storage plate, a limiting slider is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the limiting groove, a rubber layer is provided on the outer wall of the limiting slider, and a partition is installed at the top of the limiting slider.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the groove at the top of the mailbox is fitted to the outer wall of the slider.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first conductive sheet is connected to the positive terminal pin via a wire, and the second conductive sheet is connected to the positive terminal of the battery via a wire.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the monitor is positioned directly above the center of the storage board from top to bottom.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the limiting groove and the outer wall of the limiting slider are fitted together.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are several partitions, which are distributed one-to-one on the storage plate.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] In this invention, when the first mailbox door is locked, the second mailbox door will tilt and expand inward, which will exert a squeezing effect on the force rod, thereby driving the slider to move. During the movement of the slider, the spring is compressed, and the force rod will drive the first conductive plate to move, thereby contacting the second conductive plate and energizing the monitor. The monitor can take pictures of the inside of the mailbox and transmit them to the user's terminal, thus enabling remote monitoring and reminders. This way, the user does not need to frequently open the mailbox and can know the presence of mailboxes immediately.
[0017] This utility model allows for the classification of mail into multiple storage slots using storage plates and partitions. This enables the categorization and storage of different types of mail, preventing damage such as folding when stored directly in the mailbox. By moving the partitions, the size of the storage slots can be changed, allowing for adjustments to the storage space for mail with excessive quantities.
[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a mailbox with remote monitoring includes a mailbox 1, a rotating shaft 2 rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the mailbox 1, a monitoring and alerting mechanism 31 inside the mailbox 1, and a sorting and storage mechanism 32 below the monitoring and alerting mechanism 31. The monitoring and alerting mechanism 31 includes a first door 311 mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2, a second door 312 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first door 311, a sliding groove at the top of the inner wall of the mailbox 1, a sliding rod 313 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, and a slider slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 313. 314, a spring 315 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 314, and the end of the spring 315 away from the outer wall of the slider 314 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. A force-bearing rod 316 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slider 314. A connecting rod 317 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of the force-bearing rod 316 away from the slider 314. A first conductive sheet 318 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 317 away from the outer wall of the force-bearing rod 316. A second conductive sheet 319 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mailbox 1. A monitor 3110 is installed on the inner wall of the mailbox 1 below the second conductive sheet 319.
[0027] Furthermore, the inner wall of the groove at the top of the inner wall of mailbox 1 fits snugly against the outer wall of slider 314, thus ensuring a tight fit between slider 314 and the groove, thereby improving the stability of slider 314's movement support.
[0028] Furthermore, the first conductive piece 318 is connected to the positive terminal pin via a wire, and the second conductive piece 319 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery via a wire. Thus, the contact between the first conductive piece 318 and the second conductive piece 319 can generate a connection command to the monitor 3110, thereby taking a picture.
[0029] Furthermore, the monitor 3110 is positioned directly above the center of the storage board 321 from top to bottom.
[0030] The classification and storage mechanism 32 includes a storage plate 321 installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the mailbox 1. A limiting groove 322 is opened at the top of the storage plate 321. A limiting slider 323 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 322. A rubber layer 324 is provided on the outer wall of the limiting slider 323. A partition 325 is installed at the top of the limiting slider 323.
[0031] Furthermore, the inner wall of the limiting groove 322 is properly fitted to the outer wall of the limiting slider 323, which ensures a tight fit between the limiting slider 323 and the limiting groove 322, thereby improving the stability of the moving support.
[0032] Furthermore, there are several partitions 325, which are distributed one-to-one on the storage plate 321. In this way, the partitions 325 can be used to divide the storage into multiple storage slots, so that various different types of messages can be stored.
[0033] The implementation principle of a remotely monitored mailbox in this embodiment is as follows: When mailbox 1 is empty, the second door 312 is used to lock mailbox 1. When mailboxes need to be stored, the second door 312 can be opened and rotated outward via the pivot 2, allowing the mailboxes to be stored in the sorting and storage mechanism 32. After storage, the first door 311 and the second door 312 can be moved. Once mailboxes are stored, the first door 311 can be used to lock the mailbox, and the second door 312 will then... Figure 2As shown, the second door 312 is tilted, so during the closing process, the outer wall of the second door 312 will gradually contact and compress the force-bearing rod 316. When the force-bearing rod 316 is compressed, it will drive the slider 314 to move to the right on the outer wall of the slider 313. At the same time, during the movement, it will compress the spring 315. This will cause the force-bearing rod 316 to drive the connecting rod 317 and the first conductive plate 318 to move until the first conductive plate 318 contacts the second conductive plate 319. This will power on the monitor 3110, which will then take pictures and send the pictures containing the signals to the user's terminal. The system provides reminders to users, and the placement of the first door 311 and the second door 312 allows users to determine the presence of a message inside the mailbox even if they cannot directly observe the terminal. Specifically, when the first door 311 extends outwards and is locked through the second door 312, it indicates that there is no message inside the mailbox. Conversely, when the first door 311 is locked and no door extends outwards, it indicates that a message is present inside the mailbox. This allows users to determine the presence of a message remotely and by observing the mailbox's shape, eliminating the need for frequent opening of the mailbox and ensuring immediate awareness of its existence.
[0034] When storing mail, the partition 325 can divide the storage plate 321 into multiple storage slots, allowing for the classification and storage of various types of mail. Simultaneously, the classification and storage mechanism 32 can neatly organize the mail, preventing folding or other damage caused by direct storage in the mailbox 1, which would affect readability. When the quantity of a particular type of mail is too large, one of the partitions 325 can be moved. The partition 325 will then move the limiting slider 323 along the inner wall of the limiting groove 322. During this movement, the rubber layer 324 increases the friction between the limiting slider 323 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 322, thus limiting the partition 325 and preventing it from moving on its own.
