Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 The smart home parcel locker in the preferred embodiment of this utility model controls the opening and closing of the delivery port on the locker body through a set sealing mechanism, and uses a carrying mechanism to carry the parcels placed in the locker body, which greatly facilitates users to pick up and retrieve parcels, and ensures the safety of the parcels after storage.

[0031] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the intelligent express delivery box includes a box body 200, a receiving cavity 202 is provided inside the box body 200, and a delivery port 201 communicating with the receiving cavity 202 is provided on the top of the box body 200; a closing mechanism 400 is provided corresponding to the delivery port 201, the closing mechanism 400 includes a pair of guide rails 401, a spiral chain 402 is provided between the two guide rails 401, and a second telescopic member 403 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the box body 200. Furthermore, the telescopic end of the second telescopic member 403 is connected to the winding chain 402, which is used to drive the winding chain 402 to move along the layout direction of the guide rail 401; a bearing mechanism 300 is provided in the accommodating cavity 202, the bearing mechanism 300 includes the first telescopic member 303 and the bearing plate 301; the first telescopic member 303 is vertically assembled at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 202, and the bearing plate 301 is disposed on the telescopic end of the first telescopic member 303; and the bearing plate 301 and the delivery port 201 are vertically aligned.

[0032] More in detail, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide rail 401 includes a horizontal section and a vertical section connected thereto; the two guide rails 401 are respectively arranged on both sides of the delivery port 201 in the horizontal direction, while the vertical section is arranged in the vertical direction of the box body 200. Through this bending design, the coiled chain 402 can move along the arrangement direction of the guide rail 401 under the drive of the second telescopic member 403, so as to realize the opening and closing of the delivery port 201 on the box body 200.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the first telescopic member 303 and the second telescopic member 403 avoid each other during movement, and to prevent the chain 402 and the bearing plate 301 from affecting each other during vertical movement, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the equipment operation, a groove 204 is preferably provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 200, and the groove 204 is provided vertically corresponding to the vertical section of the chain 402.

[0034] In addition, a control box 205 is preferably installed inside the housing 200, which is communicatively connected to the supporting mechanism 300 and the closing mechanism 400. A communication module is also installed inside the housing 200 for connecting to external devices. In actual use, the communication module can connect to a mobile app, allowing control of the roller shutter door's opening and closing via the app.

[0035] More specifically, both the first telescopic component 303 and the second telescopic component 403 are assembled inside the housing 200 via the base 302 to facilitate subsequent disassembly and assembly.

[0036] Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the smart express cabinet has an infrared beam-beam module 203 installed inside the cabinet body 200, and it is located between the delivery port 201 and the support plate 301 in the vertical space; the infrared beam-beam module 203 includes an infrared emitting module and an infrared receiving module, which are disposed on both sides of the delivery port 201 in the horizontal direction.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the express delivery locker in the preferred embodiment of this utility model operates as follows:

[0038] The second telescopic component 403 controls the movement of the winding chain 402 to realize the opening and closing of the delivery port 201, and uses the fingerprint lock module or mobile APP to realize the door opening operation; at the same time, in the absence of operation, the control box 205 automatically closes when the door opening time exceeds 45 seconds; then it controls the first telescopic component 303 to control the lifting and lowering of the support plate 301, retracting is lowering, and extending is raising.

[0039] When placing a package, if the infrared beam sensor module 203 detects the package for more than 2 seconds, it indicates that the platform is full and descends until it leaves the sensing area or reaches its lowest point. If it still detects an object at the lowest point, it means the platform is full, triggering an alarm and notifying the app. When retrieving a package: the platform automatically rises if no object is detected by the infrared beam, and stops when an object is detected, or stops at the highest point. Simultaneously, data is collected through the infrared sensors on the lifting platform: a package is detected, and the count is immediately incremented and displayed on the phone; the count is reset to zero after all packages have been retrieved.

[0040] In addition, multiple waist-shaped holes 206 for heat dissipation are provided on the enclosure 200.

[0041] Of course, in the actual design process, a front cover 100 can also be provided on the front of the box 200, and a storage slot for inserting envelopes can be provided on the front cover 100. At the same time, a fingerprint recognition module is also provided on the front cover 100, which is communicatively connected to the control box 205.

[0042] This utility model discloses an intelligent home parcel locker. It controls the opening and closing of the delivery port on the locker body through a closed mechanism and uses a supporting mechanism to carry the parcels placed inside, greatly facilitating user retrieval and ensuring the safety of the parcels after storage. Furthermore, the overall roll-up structure facilitates the opening and closing of the delivery port, and multiple internal infrared beam modules control the raising and lowering of the supporting mechanism. The locker boasts a high degree of intelligence, ease of use, and significant practical value and application prospects.

[0043] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
