Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of express delivery locker technology and relates to an express delivery locker. Background Technology

[0002] Parcel lockers are used to store parcels. Currently, many communities, office buildings, and other places with high population density place parcel lockers to facilitate delivery by couriers and pickup by recipients. The size of the parcel locker is determined by the number of people in the location. Conventional parcel lockers have a fixed frame structure with fixed frame dimensions, resulting in a fixed size that cannot be adjusted. For example, a smart parcel locker system disclosed in Chinese patent literature [Application No. CN202111079453.4] etc.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, some current parcel lockers employ a modular structure. Examples include the parcel locker and parcel delivery method with variable-number compartments disclosed in Chinese patent literature [Application No. 201810286515.0] and a single-unit modular parcel locker [Application No. 201710416417.X]. The smallest unit in these designs comprises a cabinet with a single parcel storage cavity. The entire parcel locker is assembled by stacking the cabinets vertically or horizontally. However, when stacking individual cabinets, each cabinet includes a bottom plate, a top plate, and two side plates. When stacked vertically or horizontally, the top plate, bottom plate, and adjacent side plates functionally overlap, resulting in structural waste and a higher overall cost for the parcel locker.

[0004] To further address the aforementioned issues, the applicant has applied for a parcel locker unit and a modular parcel locker [Application No. 202510047974.3]. Although this parcel locker structure solves the technical problems mentioned above, the cabinet body is not very integrated due to the separate connection of the middle layer, back panel, and side panels of the parcel locker unit. There are many connection points, and the parcel lockers are prone to shaking after being stacked, making the overall structure unstable. In addition, a large number of stacking parts are required when stacking, making the operation relatively cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a parcel locker. The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a parcel locker with a more stable structure and easier assembly.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A parcel locker includes a locker body, a locker door, and a base. The locker body is fixed to the base. The locker body comprises several shelf modules, each shelf module including a shelf section, a back panel section located at the rear of the shelf section, and side panel sections located on both sides of the shelf section. The shelf section, back panel section, and side panel sections are integrally formed. Several shelf modules are stacked vertically. The back panel section and side panel section of each shelf module are fixedly connected to the shelf section of adjacent shelf modules. Parcel storage cavities are formed between adjacent shelf modules, and each parcel storage cavity is equipped with a corresponding locker door.

[0008] The cabinet body of the express delivery locker is formed by stacking several shelf modules. The shelf section forms the cabinet body's shelf, the back panel section forms the cabinet body's back panel, and the side panel section forms the cabinet body's side panel. The shelf modules are stacked one on top of the other, resulting in a simple structure that allows for quick assembly. The shelf section, back panel, and side panel sections of the shelf module are integrally formed, making each individual shelf module structurally stable. The cabinet body formed by stacking shelf modules has fewer connection points, making the overall structure of the cabinet more stable, with a stronger load-bearing capacity, and able to hold heavier express deliveries.

[0009] In the aforementioned express delivery locker, the back panel and side panel are located below the shelf panel. The back panel and side panel of the upper shelf panel module are fixedly connected to the shelf panel of the lower shelf panel module. The back panel and side panel of the bottom shelf panel module are fixedly connected to the base. An express delivery storage cavity is formed between the bottom shelf panel module and the base.

[0010] In another scenario, in the aforementioned express delivery locker, the back panel and side panel are located above the shelf panel, the back panel and side panel of the lower shelf panel module are fixedly connected to the shelf panel of the upper shelf panel module, and the shelf panel of the bottom shelf panel module is fixedly connected to the base.

[0011] In the aforementioned express delivery locker, positioning protrusions are provided at the bottom of both the back panel and the side panels, and positioning holes are provided on the shelf modules. The positioning protrusions on the back panel and the side panels can be inserted into the corresponding positioning holes of the shelf modules. This structure enables the fixed stacking of adjacent shelf modules. The positioning protrusions on the back panel and the two side panels can achieve horizontal positioning, and the shelf modules only need to be aligned and placed down during stacking, making assembly simple.

[0012] In the aforementioned express delivery locker, both the back panel and the side panel include an outer panel and an inner panel, which are spaced apart and connected by a connecting strip. This structure ensures the thickness of the back panel and side panel, guaranteeing the strength of the locker, while also enabling a lightweight design for the shelf modules, facilitating transportation and assembly.

[0013] In the aforementioned parcel locker, the side panel has a through hole along its vertical direction. When the shelf modules are stacked, a fixing rod passes through the through hole of each shelf module. The fixing rod connects all the shelf modules, further improving the stability of the locker structure.

[0014] In the aforementioned express delivery locker, the front end of the side panel is located inside the front end of the shelf panel. A latch plate is fixedly connected between the front end of the side panel and the shelf panel, and the locker door can be locked with the latch plate. A door lock assembly is assembled within the latch plate. The latch plate and the shelf panel module are separate components, allowing for quick assembly of the locker by first assembling the door lock assembly and then attaching the latch plate to the locker body. The locker door is locked by the door lock assembly on the latch plate when closed.

[0015] In the aforementioned parcel locker, a partition plate is provided between adjacent shelf modules to separate the parcel storage compartments. Each shelf has a slot 1 on both its upper and lower sides, and a slot 2 aligned with slot 1 on its back panel. The edge of the partition plate engages with the corresponding slot 1 and slot 2. The partition plate divides the parcel storage compartments into two smaller compartments for smaller parcels, increasing the space utilization of the locker. The partition plate can be configured flexibly and conveniently according to actual needs.

[0016] In the aforementioned parcel locker, the shelf module further includes an integrally formed reinforcing plate, which is located between two side panels, forming a parcel storage cavity. The shelf module with the reinforcing plate has two parcel storage cavities, meaning one locker contains at least two rows, suitable for larger parcel lockers.

[0017] In the aforementioned parcel locker, the locker body also includes a heightening module, which can be fixed between two shelf modules. The heightening module includes a heightened back panel and heightened side panels located at both ends of the heightened back panel. The heightened back panel and side panels are integrally formed, aligned and connected to each other. By setting one or more heightening modules between the two shelf modules, parcel storage cavities of various heights can be provided on the parcel locker, allowing it to accommodate parcels of various heights. The integrally formed heightening module structure is stable, ensuring the stability of the entire locker body when stacked with the shelf modules, and also enabling rapid assembly of the parcel locker.

[0018] In the aforementioned express delivery locker, a second through hole is provided on the raised side panel, which is aligned with a first through hole. The fixing rod passes through the second through hole. The fixing rod passes through the raised side panel to fix the raised module to the shelf module.

[0019] In the aforementioned express delivery locker, both the raised back panel and the raised side panel include an outer panel and an inner panel, which are spaced apart and connected by a connecting strip. This structure ensures the thickness of the raised back panel and the raised side panel, guaranteeing the strength of the locker, while also enabling a lightweight design for the raised module, facilitating transportation and assembly.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, this parcel locker has the advantages of a more stable structure and easier assembly. Attached Figure Description
