Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of express delivery locker technology, and in particular to an express delivery locker. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the express delivery business, self-service parcel lockers are gradually being promoted and used in the market. In existing technology, parcel lockers include a delivery slot and a locker. The delivery slot is located on top of the locker, allowing different users to deposit items with attached shipping labels into the locker. Since mailed items typically have a certain volume, the delivery slot must match the maximum size of the item to ensure it can be successfully placed into the locker. However, because parcel lockers are located in public places, even when the delivery slot matches the maximum size of the item, there is a risk that items in the locker can be stolen by others through the delivery slot. To address this issue, a related technology provides a parcel locker equipped with a delivery door, a compartment, and a linkage mechanism. The delivery door is movably connected to the locker body, allowing the delivery opening to be opened or closed. The compartment is located inside the locker and is movably connected to it. The compartment is linked to the delivery door via the linkage mechanism. When the delivery door is open, the compartment blocks the top opening of the parcel locker and receives the item, preventing theft from the parcel locker. When the delivery door is closed, the compartment rotates, throwing the received item into the parcel locker through the top opening. While this parcel locker effectively prevents theft, the complex structure of the compartment and linkage mechanism increases its manufacturing cost.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a parcel locker to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a parcel locker that can not only complete the normal parcel delivery operation, but also prevent the illegal theft of items inside the parcel locker. It achieves the anti-theft function with a simple structure and reduces the manufacturing cost of the parcel locker.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] Parcel lockers, including:
[0007] The parcel locker is equipped with a storage space for holding items and a parcel opening connected to the storage space.

The movable panel has an initial position and an anti-theft position. When the movable panel is in the initial position, the first panel is disposed adjacent to the parcel opening and is used to receive and support the items inserted through the parcel opening. The second panel is located on the side of the first panel away from the parcel opening and is used to guide the items into the storage space. When the movable panel is in the anti-theft position, the first panel is used to block the path of the items entering or leaving the storage space. When the movable panel is in the initial position and the second panel is compressed, the movable panel rotates from the initial position to the anti-theft position.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned express cabinet, the first plate includes a first feeding end and a first discharging end, the first feeding end being located between the parcel receiving port and the first discharging end, and the first discharging end being no higher than the first feeding end. The second plate includes a second feeding end and a second discharging end, the second feeding end being connected to the first discharging end, the second plate being no higher than the first plate, and the second discharging end being lower than the second feeding end.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned express delivery locker, the locker includes a top wall. When the movable plate is in the initial position, the first plate and the top wall are arranged parallel and spaced apart, forming a channel between them that communicates with the parcel opening for the items to enter the storage space. When the movable plate is in the anti-theft position, the first feeding end of the first plate is adjacent to or abuts against the top wall to block the path of the items entering or leaving the storage space.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned express delivery locker, the locker includes a support member. When the movable plate is in the aforementioned initial position, the movable plate abuts against the support member, and the movable plate always has a tendency to move towards the aforementioned initial position under the action of its own weight and / or the elastic force of the elastic member.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned express delivery locker, the locker further includes a front wall, and the parcel opening is located on the front wall; the support member includes a support plate, which is connected to the front wall, and the support plate is flush with or lower than the lower edge of the parcel opening; when the movable plate is in the initial position, the first plate and the support plate are stacked and supported by the support plate.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned express cabinet, the support plate includes a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the front wall, and the movable plate being rotatably connected to the second end via a pivot shaft.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned express delivery locker, the locker further includes two relatively spaced side walls, with the front wall connected between the two side walls; the support plate is located between the two side walls and connected to both side walls simultaneously, the support plate including a first wall, two second walls, and two third walls, the two second walls being connected to the two ends of the first wall at an angle, and the two second walls being fixedly connected to the two side walls respectively; the two third walls being connected to the two ends of the first wall at an angle, and the two third walls being relatively spaced from the two side walls; the movable plate further includes two third plates, the two third plates being connected to the two ends of the second plates at an angle, and the two third plates being opposite to the two third walls respectively, each third plate being located between the corresponding third wall and the side wall; the pivot shaft is provided through the two third walls and the two third plates; when the movable plate rotates around the pivot shaft to the initial position, the first plate and the first wall are stacked and supported by the first wall.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned express cabinet, the aforementioned support member further includes a buffer pad, which is disposed on the aforementioned support plate. When the aforementioned movable plate is in the aforementioned initial position, the lower surface of the aforementioned first plate abuts against the aforementioned buffer pad.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution for the above-mentioned express cabinet, the parcel locker also includes a first limiting member, which is fixedly connected to the support plate. When the movable plate rotates to the anti-theft position, the movable plate abuts against the first limiting member to limit the maximum rotation angle of the movable plate.
[0018] And / or, the aforementioned parcel locker also includes a top wall and a second limiting member. The second limiting member is disposed on the top wall. When the movable plate is in the initial position, the first plate and the top wall are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, forming a channel between them that communicates with the parcel opening for the items to enter the storage space. When the movable plate rotates to the anti-theft position, the first plate abuts against the second limiting member to limit the maximum rotation angle of the movable plate.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution for the aforementioned express delivery locker, it also includes a full detection sensor for detecting whether the aforementioned storage space is about to be filled with items. The full detection sensor is installed inside the aforementioned parcel locker, and the installation position of the full detection sensor is configured such that when the full detection sensor detects items in the aforementioned storage space, the aforementioned movable plate can rotate to the aforementioned anti-theft position.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] The parcel locker provided in this embodiment includes a parcel box, a parcel door, and a movable panel. The parcel box has a storage space for holding items. A parcel slot is located on one end of the parcel box, allowing users to deposit items into the storage space. The parcel door is rotatably connected to the parcel box and is used to open and close the parcel slot. The movable panel includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is adjacent to the parcel slot relative to the second panel and can rotate relative to the parcel box to switch between an initial position and an anti-theft position. When the movable panel is in the initial position, the first panel receives and supports items deposited through the parcel slot, allowing the items to enter the storage space. Along the direction of item movement from the parcel slot to the storage space, the second panel is located downstream of the first panel and guides the items into the storage space. When the second panel is compressed, the movable panel rotates towards the anti-theft position, and the first panel gradually narrows the path for items to enter and exit the storage space. When the movable panel rotates to the anti-theft position, the first panel blocks the path for items to enter and exit the storage space, preventing items from entering or exiting.
[0022] In normal use, the movable plate is in its initial position, allowing the user to drop items into the storage space through the parcel slot. The items slide along the first plate to the second plate and then fall into the storage space. When the user inserts a tool or arm through the parcel slot to retrieve an item from the storage space, the tool, arm, or item will press against the second plate. The second plate rotates under this force, and the movable plate rotates from its initial position to the anti-theft position. The first plate then blocks the connection between the parcel slot and the storage space, preventing items from being retrieved from the storage space. Thus, the parcel locker provided in this embodiment of the invention, through its rotatable movable plate, can both complete normal delivery operations and prevent theft of items from the parcel locker. The structure is relatively simple, reducing the manufacturing cost of the parcel locker. Attached Figure Description

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a parcel locker, including a parcel box 1, a parcel door 5, and a movable panel 2. The parcel locker 1 has a storage space 11 for holding items and a parcel opening 12 communicating with the storage space 11; the parcel door 5 is movably connected to the parcel locker 1 and is used to open and close the parcel opening 12; the movable plate 2 includes a first plate 21 and a second plate 22 arranged at an angle, and the movable plate 2 is rotatably arranged inside the parcel locker 1. The movable plate 2 has an initial position and an anti-theft position. When the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the first plate 21 is arranged adjacent to the parcel opening 12 and is used to receive and support items put into the parcel opening 12. The second plate 22 is located on the side of the first plate 21 away from the parcel opening 12 and is used to guide items into the storage space 11. When the movable plate 2 is in the anti-theft position, the first plate 21 is used to block the path of items entering and leaving the storage space 11. When the movable plate 2 is in the initial position and the second plate 22 is squeezed, the movable plate 2 rotates from the initial position to the anti-theft position.
[0043] For example, the parcel locker 1 has a storage space 11 for holding items; the parcel locker 1 has a parcel opening 12 on its end face, through which users can deposit items into the storage space 11. A parcel door 5 is rotatably connected to the parcel locker 1 and is used to open and close the parcel opening 12. The movable plate 2 includes a first plate 21 and a second plate 22. The first plate 21 is adjacent to the parcel slot 12 relative to the second plate 22. The movable plate 2 can rotate relative to the parcel locker 1 to switch between its initial position and the anti-theft position. When the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the first plate 21 is used to receive and support items put into the parcel slot 12, and the items can enter the storage space 11. Along the direction of movement of the items from the parcel slot 12 to the storage space 11, the second plate 22 is located downstream of the first plate 21. The second plate 22 is used to guide the items to fall into the storage space 11. The second plate 22 is linked with the first plate 21. When the second plate 22 is squeezed, the movable plate 2 rotates to the anti-theft position, and the first plate 21 gradually narrows the path for items to enter and exit the storage space 11, thereby blocking the connection between the parcel slot 12 and the storage space 11, and the items cannot enter or exit the storage space 11.
[0044] In normal use, the movable plate 2 is in its initial position, allowing the user to drop items into the storage space 11 through the parcel slot 12. The items slide along the first plate 21 to the second plate 22 and then fall into the storage space 11. When the user inserts a tool or arm through the parcel slot 12 to retrieve an item from the storage space 11, the tool, arm, or item will press against the second plate 22. Under this force, the second plate 22 rotates, and the movable plate 2 rotates from its initial position to the anti-theft position. The first plate 21 blocks the connection between the parcel slot 12 and the storage space 11, preventing items from being retrieved from the storage space 11. Thus, the parcel locker provided by this solution, through the rotatable movable plate 2, can both complete normal delivery operations and prevent theft of items from the parcel locker 1. The structure is relatively simple, reducing the manufacturing cost of the parcel locker.
[0045] For example, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 are fixedly connected or relatively fixed.
[0046] For example, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 are integrally formed.
[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the movable plate 2 can rotate clockwise from its initial position to the anti-theft position. That is, the movable plate 2 will only have the tendency to rotate clockwise when the second plate 22 is subjected to the first force F1. When the second plate 22 is subjected to the second force F2, the movable plate 2 will have the tendency to rotate counterclockwise and will not rotate to the anti-theft position. However, when the second plate 22 is subjected to the second force F2, it means that the user's arm, tool or item has come into contact with the second plate 22, and the second plate 22 plays an interception role, thus achieving the anti-theft effect.
[0048] Optionally, the rotation axes of the mail door 5 and the mail box 1 extend in the vertical direction.
[0049] Optionally, the parcel locker also includes a pickup port 61 connected to the storage space 11, and a pickup door 62, which is rotatably connected to the parcel locker 1. The pickup door 62 is used to open and close the pickup port 61. In use, when a user needs to send an item, they can drop the item into the storage space 11 through the pickup port 12, and several items to be sent will accumulate in the storage space 11. Delivery personnel can open the pickup door 62 to retrieve the items from the storage space 11 through the pickup port 61.
[0050] Optionally, the first plate 21 includes a first feeding end 211 and a first unloading end 212. The first feeding end 211 is located between the dispatch port 12 and the first unloading end 212, and the first unloading end 212 is not higher than the first feeding end 211. The second plate 22 includes a second feeding end and a second unloading end. The second feeding end is connected to the first unloading end 212. The second plate 22 is not higher than the first plate 21, and the second unloading end is lower than the second feeding end.
[0051] With this configuration, the side of the movable plate 2 closest to the parcel opening 12 is in a high position, and the side furthest from the parcel opening 12 is in a low position. When the movable plate 2 is in its initial position, the item is put into the parcel opening 12 and can pass through the first feeding end 211, the first discharging end 212, the second feeding end, and the second discharging end in sequence, and then slide into the storage space 11.
[0052] Optionally, the parcel locker 1 includes a top wall 14. When the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the first plate 21 and the top wall 14 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, forming a channel 13 between them that communicates with the parcel opening 12 for items to enter the storage space 11. When the movable plate 2 is in the anti-theft position, the first feeding end 211 of the first plate 21 is adjacent to or abuts against the top wall 14 to block the path of items entering and leaving the storage space 11.
[0053] Optionally, the rotation axis of the movable plate 2 extends horizontally and is parallel to the lower edge of the parcel opening 12. The distance between the rotation axis and the lower edge of the parcel opening 12 is between 20cm and 25cm, where 20cm-25cm is the length of a typical adult's forearm. When an unauthorized user extends their arm or hook into the parcel locker 1 through the parcel opening 12, one scenario is that the arm or hook pressing down will compress the second plate 22, causing the second plate 22 to drive the first plate 21 to rotate around the rotation axis, causing the first plate 21 to tilt up and clamp the unauthorized user's arm or hook, preventing theft. Another scenario is that even if the unauthorized user's arm or hook retrieves an item from the storage space 11, during the process of pulling the item out of the storage space 11, the item compresses the second plate 22, causing the second plate 22 to drive the first plate 21 to rotate around the rotation axis, causing the first plate 21 to tilt up. The first plate 21 blocks the path of the item in and out of the storage space 11, preventing the item from leaving the storage space 11.
[0054] Optionally, the mail box 1 includes a support member 15. When the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the movable plate 2 abuts against the support member 15, and the movable plate 2 always has a tendency to move towards the initial position under the action of its own weight and / or the elastic force of the elastic member.
[0055] For example, the parcel locker 1 includes two side walls located on both sides of the parcel opening 12. The support member 15 includes multiple support columns distributed on the two side walls. When the movable plate 2 is in its initial position, the first plate 21 rests on the multiple support columns under its own weight, that is, the multiple support columns support the first plate 21 from both sides. This ensures that the movable plate 2 remains stable in its initial position during normal use, guaranteeing the normal operation of the parcel delivery.
[0056] Optionally, the movable plate 2 is also equipped with a reset component, which is installed in the movable plate 2 and / or the mail box 1, so that the movable plate 2 always has a tendency to rotate back to the initial position.
[0057] In one embodiment, the reset component is a counterweight block, which is installed on the first plate 21, so that the first plate 21 has a relatively large mass. After the external force acting on the second plate 22 is removed, the movable plate 2 can rotate back to the initial position by gravity.
[0058] In another embodiment, the reset member is an elastic member, such as a tension spring or a torsion spring. One of the working ends of the reset member is installed inside the mail box 1, and the other working end is installed on the first plate 21 or the second plate 22. When the movable plate 2 rotates from the initial position to the anti-theft position, the reset member undergoes elastic deformation. After the external force acting on the second plate 22 is removed, the reset member restores its deformation and acts on the movable plate 2, causing the movable plate 2 to reset to the initial position.
[0059] In another embodiment, the first plate 21 of the movable plate 2 is a metal part, and the reset part is a magnetic part. The reset part is installed in the mail box 1. When the external force applied to the second plate 22 is removed, the magnetic part can attract the first plate 21, so that the movable plate 2 is reset to the initial position.
[0060] Optionally, the parcel locker 1 also includes a front wall 17, with a parcel opening 12 provided on the front wall 17; the support member 15 includes a support plate, which is connected to the front wall 17, and the support plate is flush with or lower than the lower edge of the parcel opening 12; when the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the first plate 21 is stacked with the support plate and supported by the support plate.
[0061] The support plate supports the movable plate 2 in the initial position. At the same time, since the support plate is connected to the front wall 17, when the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the support plate also seals the gap between the first plate 21 and the mailing port 12 to prevent items from getting stuck and to further improve the anti-theft performance.
[0062] Optionally, the support plate includes a first end 151 and a second end 152. The first end 151 is connected to the front wall 17, and the movable plate 2 is rotatably connected to the second end 152 via a pivot shaft 3.
[0063] This configuration serves two purposes: firstly, when the movable plate 2 is in the anti-theft position, the first plate 21 and the support plate together block the mailing opening 12, preventing theft of items from extending into the storage space 11 from below the first plate 21, thus further enhancing the anti-theft capability; secondly, assembling the support plate and the movable plate 2 together before connecting the support plate to the mailing box 1 facilitates assembly.
[0064] Furthermore, the parcel locker 1 also includes two side walls that are spaced apart from each other, with the front wall 17 connected between the two side walls; the support plate is located between the two side walls and is connected to both side walls at the same time.
[0065] Optionally, the support plate includes a first wall 153, two second walls 154, and two third walls 155. The two second walls 154 are connected to the two ends of the first wall 153 at an angle, and the two second walls 154 are fixedly connected to the two side walls respectively. The two third walls 155 are connected to the two ends of the first wall 153 at an angle, and the two third walls 155 are spaced apart from the two side walls. The movable plate 2 also includes two third plates 23. The two third plates 23 are connected to the two ends of the second plate 22 at an angle, and the two third plates 23 are opposite to the two third walls 155 respectively. Each third plate 23 is located between the corresponding third wall 155 and the side wall. The pivot shaft 3 is arranged through the two third walls 155 and the two third plates 23. When the movable plate 2 rotates around the pivot shaft 3 to the initial position, the first plate 21 is stacked with the first wall 153 and supported by the first wall 153.
[0066] For example, the support member 15 also includes a fourth wall 156, which is connected at an angle to the first wall 153 and forms with the first end 151 of the support member 15. Specifically, the fourth wall 156 is in contact with the front wall 17.
[0067] For example, both the support plate and the movable plate 2 are formed by bending sheet metal parts, which has the advantages of simple structure and high strength.
[0068] Optionally, the support member 15 also includes a buffer pad 18, which is disposed on the first wall 153 of the support plate. When the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the lower surface of the first plate 21 abuts against the buffer pad 18. This arrangement can prevent the movable plate 2 from colliding with the support plate and generating noise when it resets.
[0069] Optionally, the parcel locker 1 further includes a first limiting member 191, which is fixedly connected to the support plate. When the movable plate 2 is rotated to the anti-theft position, the movable plate 2 abuts against the first limiting member 191 to limit the maximum rotation angle of the movable plate 2. And / or, the parcel locker 1 further includes a top wall 14 and a second limiting member 192, which is disposed on the top wall 14. When the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the first plate 21 and the top wall 14 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, forming a channel 13 between them that communicates with the parcel opening 12 for items to enter the storage space 11. When the movable plate 2 is rotated to the anti-theft position, the first plate 21 abuts against the second limiting member 192 to limit the maximum rotation angle of the movable plate 2.
[0070] By setting the first limiting member 191 and / or the second limiting member 192, the maximum rotation angle of the movable plate 2 is limited to ensure that the movable plate 2 can return to the initial position when the external force disappears.
[0071] For example, the support plate includes a first wall 153, a fifth wall 157, and a sixth wall 158 connected at an angle in sequence. The end of the sixth wall 158 forms the first limiting member 191. When the movable plate 2 is in the initial position, the first plate 21 rests on the first wall 153. When the movable plate 2 is in the anti-theft position, the second plate 22 abuts against the end of the sixth wall 158.
[0072] Optionally, the parcel locker also includes a full detection sensor 4 for detecting whether the storage space 11 is about to be filled with items. The full detection sensor 4 is installed inside the parcel locker 1, and the installation position of the full detection sensor 4 is configured such that when the full detection sensor 4 detects items in the storage space 11, the movable plate 2 can rotate to the anti-theft position.
[0073] The parcel locker 1 includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall spaced apart from each other. The first sidewall and the second sidewall are located on opposite sides of the parcel opening 12. The full detection sensor 4 includes a transmitter mounted on the first sidewall and a receiver mounted on the second sidewall. The transmitter and receiver are opposite each other. When there are no items between them, the light emitted by the transmitter can be received by the receiver, and the full detection sensor 4 outputs a first signal. When there are items between the transmitter and the receiver, and the items prevent the receiver from receiving the light emitted by the transmitter, the full detection sensor 4 outputs a second signal. In this embodiment, the full detection sensor 4 is located adjacent to the second plate 22 of the movable plate 2 located at the anti-theft position, leaving ample space for the rotation of the second plate 22. Therefore, reliable anti-theft can be guaranteed even when the parcel locker 1 is about to be filled with items. Preferably, the parcel locker includes multiple full detection sensors 4, which are arranged horizontally at intervals on the first sidewall and the second sidewall of the parcel locker 1.
[0074] Optionally, the parcel locker also includes a storage box and a storage door 71. The storage box includes a storage space and a storage opening 72. The storage space is independent of the storage space 11. The storage opening 72 is connected to the storage space.
