[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution for a smart light pole with postcard acquisition and delivery functions, including a light pole body 1, an automatic postcard acquisition machine 2, and a mailbox assembly 3. The light pole body 1 has a hollow structure and a support base 4 at the bottom, with a lighting fixture 5 installed at the top. The automatic postcard acquisition machine 2 is embedded in the bottom outer wall of the light pole body 1, and a transparent touch screen 6 is provided on its front side for displaying the operation interface and accepting user input commands. The automatic postcard acquisition machine 2 has a storage compartment 7, a postcard dispensing channel 8, and a drive module 9 inside. The storage compartment 7 is used to store pre-printed postcards, and the postcard dispensing channel 8 is set at an incline and connected to the outlet of the storage compartment 7. The drive module 9 is connected to the push plate 10 of the postcard dispensing channel 8 through a gear set. The mailbox assembly 3 is located on one side of the bottom of the light pole body 1, and a delivery port 11 is provided at the top. The delivery port 11 is connected to the mailbox body through a guide channel 12. The mailbox body is divided into multiple independent postcard storage chambers 13, and each postcard storage chamber 13 is provided with a detachable storage box 14.
[0025] Specifically, the main body 1 of the lamp post has a built-in control module 15 and a power supply unit 16. The control module 15 is electrically connected to the automatic postcard dispenser 2, the mailbox assembly 3, and external devices. The main body 1 of the lamp post also has a display screen 22 for advertising. Furthermore, the end of the postcard dispensing channel 8 of the automatic postcard dispenser 2 extends to the outer wall of the main body 1 of the lamp post. An elastic baffle 17 is provided at the outlet of the postcard dispensing channel 8. The elastic baffle 17 is fixed to the two side walls of the channel by spring plates, and the free end of the elastic baffle 17 is bent towards the outlet of the channel. Through the above settings, the postcards can be slowed down by the elastic baffle 17 during the dispensing process, so as to prevent the postcards from flying out directly due to inertia and being lost. After the user selects and pays through the transparent touch screen 6, the control module 15 receives the instruction and the drive module 9 starts. The drive module 9 drives the push plate 10 to slide in the postcard delivery channel 8 through the gear set, pushing the postcard in the storage compartment 7 to the end of the postcard delivery channel 8. At this time, the elastic baffle 17 is bent backward by the pressure of the postcard. After the postcard completely leaves the postcard delivery channel 8, the elastic baffle 17 quickly resets under the action of the spring plate, preventing subsequent postcards from sliding out and ensuring that only one postcard is delivered at a time.
[0026] Specifically, an arc-shaped guide plate 18 is provided above the delivery port 11 of the mailbox assembly 3. The arc-shaped guide plate 18 is fixed to the outer wall of the lamp post body 1 by a bracket. Its inner surface is covered with an anti-slip coating, and the lowest point of the arc-shaped guide plate 18 is flush with the edge of the delivery port 11. With the above setting, when the user puts the postcard in from the delivery port 11, it can slide smoothly down along the arc-shaped guide plate 18 into the mailbox body, effectively preventing the postcard from slipping or getting stuck during delivery. At the same time, the anti-slip coating further improves the stability of the postcard during the sliding process, ensuring that the postcard can accurately enter the designated storage cavity 13.
[0027] Specifically, the inner wall of the guide channel 12 is provided with several evenly distributed guide ribs 19. The guide ribs 19 extend along the length of the channel and have a semi-circular cross-section. This arrangement ensures that the postcard is guided and supported by the guide ribs 19 as it slides through the guide channel 12, thus maintaining a stable sliding trajectory and preventing the postcard from deviating from the predetermined path due to external interference during its descent. The semi-circular cross-section design of the guide ribs 19 ensures sufficient support strength while reducing frictional resistance with the postcard, allowing the postcard to slide smoothly into the mailbox body.
[0028] Specifically, a weighing sensor 20 is installed at the bottom of the storage cavity 13. The weighing sensor 20 is electrically connected to the control module 15. When the weight of the postcards in the storage box 14 reaches the preset value, the control module 15 triggers an alarm signal and prompts the management personnel to clean it through the indicator light on the outer wall of the light pole body 1. Through the above settings, the management personnel can understand the storage status of the postcards in the storage box 14 in a timely manner, avoiding the situation of poor delivery or damage caused by excessive postcard accumulation. The indicator light prompts are intuitive and clear, making it convenient for the management personnel to quickly locate and handle the full storage box 14, improving the overall management efficiency and user experience.
[0029] Specifically, the automatic postcard dispenser 2 is equipped with a QR code scanning area 21, which integrates an image recognition module and a communication module. The QR code scanning area 21 is connected to the control module 15 via a data cable. This setup allows users to quickly log in and bind their personal information by scanning a QR code. The image recognition module can quickly identify and read the information in the QR code, while the communication module synchronizes the user information with the control module 15 to complete payment verification and postcard selection. Furthermore, the QR code scanning area 21 provides users with a more convenient and secure payment method, avoiding the inconvenience and risks associated with cash transactions. During the operation of the smart light pole, the control module 15, as the core of the entire system, is responsible for receiving user commands, coordinating the work of various components, and handling various abnormal situations, ensuring the stable operation and efficient service of the entire system.
[0030] A specific application example of this embodiment is as follows:
[0031] When using this device, after tourists follow the official account by scanning the QR code in the QR code scanning area 21, the control module 15 receives the verification information and unlocks the automatic postcard dispenser 2. The user selects the desired postcard type on the transparent touch screen 6, the drive module 9 starts and pushes the postcard in the storage compartment 7 to the postcard dispensing channel 8. The postcard slides along the inclined channel and passes through the elastic baffle 17, which buffers the postcard to prevent it from popping out quickly. After the user takes out the postcard, fills in the content and puts the postcard into the delivery slot 11 of the mailbox component 3. The postcard slides along the arc-shaped guide plate 18 into the guide channel 12 and is guided smoothly down to the corresponding storage cavity 13 by the guide ribs 19. The weighing sensor 20 monitors the weight change of the storage box 14 in real time and transmits the data to the control module 15. When the set threshold is reached, an alarm is triggered.
