Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, when a plurality of home delivery boxes equipped with batteries are installed, the battery consumption of each home delivery box varies depending on the usage frequency of each, so there is a situation where the batteries of some home delivery boxes run out and become unusable. Also, since the timing of battery replacement for each of the plurality of home delivery boxes is different, the administrator has to replace the battery every time the battery of each home delivery box runs out, resulting in a heavy management burden. Moreover, not limited to home delivery boxes, there were similar problems with various storage boxes.

[0005] In the electronic device described in Patent Document 1, power is shared among a plurality of electronic devices each having a secondary battery so that their remaining driving times are appropriately adjusted. (See Patent Document 1.) However, the technology according to Patent Document 1 does not relate to unlocking control of storage boxes such as delivery boxes, and thus fails to solve the problems related to storage boxes such as delivery boxes.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a storage box capable of reducing the deviation in the remaining battery levels of respective storage boxes when a plurality of storage boxes each equipped with a battery are installed.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] One aspect of the present disclosure is a storage box, comprising: a power supply circuit that supplies power using a battery; and a first power connector connectable to the first power supply circuit of another first storage box equipped with a first power supply circuit that supplies power using a first battery, the first power connector being connected to the power supply circuit. The storage box and the first storage box are delivery boxes that can be combined with each other. When the power connector of the storage box and the first power connector of the first storage box are connected, the power of the battery and the power of the first battery are shared. It is a storage box.

Advantages of the Invention

[0008] According to the present disclosure, in a storage box, when a plurality of storage boxes each equipped with a battery are installed, the deviation in the remaining battery levels of respective storage boxes can be reduced.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, a delivery box is used as an example of a storage box, and a case where a delivery box system is used as an example of a storage box system will be described.

[0011] [Delivery Box System] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of a delivery box system 1 including a plurality of delivery boxes 11 to 14 according to an embodiment. The delivery box system 1 includes a plurality (four in this embodiment) of delivery boxes 11 to 14 and four power cables 211 to 214. Note that the power cables 211 to 214 may be called connection cables or simply cables. Each of the delivery boxes 11 to 14 has the same shape and has a rectangular parallelepiped (or may be a cube) shape. Each of the delivery boxes 11 to 14 is an IoT (Internet of Things) delivery box, but may be other delivery boxes.

[0012] The delivery box 11 includes a circuit unit 31 inside. The circuit unit 31 includes a power supply circuit and a load circuit. In this embodiment, the power supply circuit includes a battery as a power supply. The battery may be a primary battery, or a secondary battery, or both. The delivery box 11 has a power connector 41 on one surface and a power connector 42 on another surface. The delivery box 11 includes a connection cable 51 connecting the circuit unit 31 and the power connector 41 and a connection cable 52 connecting the circuit unit 31 and the power connector 42.

[0013] The delivery box 12 is provided with a circuit unit 71 inside. The circuit unit 71 includes a power supply circuit and a load circuit. In this embodiment, the power supply circuit includes a battery as a power source. The battery may be a primary battery, or a secondary battery, or both. The delivery box 12 is provided with a power connector 81 on one surface and a power connector 82 on another surface. The delivery box 12 includes a connection cable 91 that connects the circuit unit 71 and the power connector 81, and a connection cable 92 that connects the circuit unit 71 and the power connector 82.

[0014] The delivery box 13 is provided with a circuit unit 111 inside. The circuit unit 111 includes a power supply circuit and a load circuit. In this embodiment, the power supply circuit includes a battery as a power source. The battery may be a primary battery, or a secondary battery, or both. The delivery box 13 is provided with a power connector 121 on one surface and a power connector 122 on another surface. The delivery box 13 includes a connection cable 131 that connects the circuit unit 111 and the power connector 121, and a connection cable 132 that connects the circuit unit 111 and the power connector 122.

[0015] The delivery box 14 is provided with a circuit unit 151 inside. The circuit unit 151 includes a power supply circuit and a load circuit. In this embodiment, the power supply circuit includes a battery as a power source. The battery may be a primary battery, or a secondary battery, or both. The delivery box 14 is provided with a power connector 161 on one surface and a power connector 162 on another surface. The delivery box 14 includes a connection cable 171 that connects the circuit unit 151 and the power connector 161, and a connection cable 172 that connects the circuit unit 151 and the power connector 162.

[0016] In the example of FIG. 1, the power connector 41 of the delivery box 11 and the power connector 122 of the delivery box 13 are connected via the power cable 211. Also, the power connector 42 of the delivery box 11 and the power connector 82 of the delivery box 12 are connected via the power cable 212. Also, the power connector 121 of the delivery box 13 and the power connector 162 of the delivery box 14 are connected via the power cable 214. Also, the power connector 161 of the delivery box 14 and the power connector 81 of the delivery box 12 are connected via the power cable 213.

[0017] Here, in the example of FIG. 1, for the four delivery boxes 11 to 14, the power connectors and connection cables are shown at the locations where they are connected to other adjacent delivery boxes, but power connectors and connection cables may also be provided on other surfaces. Also, in the example of FIG. 1, it shows the case where each of the delivery boxes 11 to 14 has two power connectors, but each of the delivery boxes 11 to 14 may have any number of power connectors of one or more. For example, the four delivery boxes 11 to 14 may have the same structure.

[0018] Here, in the delivery box system 1, the powers of the circuit units 31, 71, 111, and 151 of the four delivery boxes 11 to 14 are connected to each other. Therefore, in the four delivery boxes 11 to 14, by sharing the power by the power connectors, for example, even if only one delivery box is frequently used, the remaining battery levels of each of the delivery boxes 11 to 14 will all be equal. As a specific example, initially, assuming that the battery remaining amounts of the power supplies of the four delivery boxes 11 to 14 are all 100%, even when only one delivery box 11 is frequently used thereafter, the battery remaining amounts of the power supplies of the four delivery boxes 11 to 14 will be equal values (for example, all 70%, etc.). In the example of FIG. 1, a state where the battery remaining amounts of the power supplies of the four delivery boxes 11 to 14 are equal at P% (P is a numerical value between 0 and 100) is schematically shown.

[0019] <Power connector> FIGS. 2(A), 2(B), and 2(C) are diagrams for explaining the configuration of the power connector 41 according to the embodiment. Here, the power connector 41 will be described as a representative, but in this embodiment, other power connectors may have a similar configuration.

[0020] The power connector 41 includes a connector portion 311 and a shutter 312, and is configured. The connector portion 311 is a portion having the structure of the connector, and in this embodiment, it is a portion where the connector structure is formed on a planar surface. The shutter 312 has a mechanism that slides along the surface of the connector portion 311, and can be in a state where all of the surface of the connector portion 311 is exposed, a state where a part of the surface of the connector portion 311 is covered and the other part is exposed, or a state where all of the surface of the connector portion 311 is covered. Here, as the operation of the shutter 312, for example, the opening and closing state of the shutter 312 may be switched manually by a user (person), or an electric part (not shown) may be provided, and the opening and closing state of the shutter 312 may be switched by the operation of the electric part. When the electric part is provided, for example, an operation part (for example, a button, etc.) for the user to operate the operation of the electric part (opening and closing of the shutter 312) may be provided.

[0021] FIG. 2(A) shows an example of the state when the power connector 41 is used for connection with other power connectors (during use). When the power connector 41 is used for connection with other power connectors, the shutter 312 is fully opened, and all of the surfaces of the connector portion 311 are exposed.

[0022] Fig. 2(B) shows an example of the state during the closing of the shutter 312 when the use of the power connector 41 (connection with other power connectors) is completed.

[0023] Fig. 2(C) shows an example of the state when the power connector 41 is not used (during non-use) for connection with other power connectors. When the power connector 41 is not used for connection with other power connectors, the shutter 312 is fully closed, and all of the surfaces of the connector portion 311 are covered by the shutter 312. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent dust 331 or the like from adhering to the connector portion 311.

[0024] [Specific Examples of Wiring Inside and Outside the Delivery Box] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the internal and external wiring (connection cables) of the delivery boxes 411 and 412 according to the embodiment. Fig. 3 shows the delivery box 411, the delivery box 412, the power cable 611, and the power cable 612.

[0025] Note that the configuration of the delivery box 411 or the delivery box 412 shown in Fig. 3 may be used as the configuration of the delivery boxes 11 to 14 shown in Fig. 1.

[0026] In the example of Fig. 3, the delivery box 411 is provided with a power connector 441, a power connector 442, a power connector 443, and a power connector 444 on different surfaces, respectively. The power connector 441 includes a connector portion 511 and a shutter 512. The power connector 442 includes a connector portion 521 and a shutter 522. The power connector 443 includes a connector part 531 and a shutter 532. The power connector 444 includes a connector part 541 and a shutter 542.

[0027] The delivery box 411 includes, inside thereof, a power circuit 431 (which may also be referred to as a power unit or the like) and a load circuit 432. In the example of FIG. 3, the power circuit 431 and the load circuit 432 correspond to the circuit part shown in FIG. 1 (taking the delivery box 11 shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the circuit part 31). Inside the delivery box 411, four power connectors 441 to 444, the power circuit 431, and the load circuit 432 are connected by a connection cable 451. Note that, in the example of FIG. 3, for simplicity of illustration, the wirings inside the delivery box 411 are collectively shown as a connection cable 451.

[0028] Similarly, in the example of FIG. 3, the delivery box 412 includes a power connector 481, a power connector 482, a power connector 483, and a power connector 484 on different surfaces respectively. The power connector 481 includes a connector part 561 and a shutter 562. The power connector 482 includes a connector part 571 and a shutter 572. The power connector 483 includes a connector part 581 and a shutter 582. The power connector 484 includes a connector part 591 and a shutter 592.

[0029] The delivery box 412 includes, inside thereof, a power circuit 471 (which may also be referred to as a power unit or the like) and a load circuit 472. In the example of FIG. 3, the power circuit 471 and the load circuit 472 correspond to the circuit part shown in FIG. 1 (taking the delivery box 11 shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the circuit part 31). Inside the delivery box 412, four power connectors 481 to 484, a power circuit 471, and a load circuit 472 are connected by a connection cable 491. In the example of Fig. 3, for simplicity of illustration, the internal wiring of the delivery box 412 is grouped and shown as a connection cable 491.

[0030] Also, as the external wiring of the delivery boxes 411 and 412, a power cable 611 and a power cable 612 are provided. In the example of Fig. 3, the two power cables 611 and 612 correspond to the power cable shown in Fig. 1 (taking the connection between the delivery box 11 and the delivery box 13 shown in Fig. 1 as an example, the power cable 211).

[0031] In the example of Fig. 3, the shutter 522 of the power connector 442 of the delivery box 411 is in an open state, and the shutter 592 of the power connector 484 of the delivery box 412 is in an open state, and these power connectors (the power connector 442 and the power connector 484) are connected by the power cables 611 and 612.

[0032] In the example of Fig. 3, in the delivery box 411, the power circuit 431 and the load circuit 432 are connected in parallel, and in the delivery box 412, the power circuit 471 and the load circuit 472 are connected in parallel. Thus, by connecting the power connectors of the two delivery boxes 411 and 412, these powers can be shared.

[0033] <Example of the arrangement of power connectors in a delivery box> Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the arrangement positions of the power connectors 741 to 744 in the delivery box 711 according to the embodiment. In Fig. 4, for convenience of explanation, the XYZ coordinate axes, which are three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate axes, are shown. For convenience of explanation, the direction parallel to the X-axis is the left-right direction, the direction parallel to the Y-axis is the front-back direction, and the direction parallel to the Z-axis is the up-down direction.

[0034] In addition, in the configuration of the delivery box 711 shown in FIG. 4, an example of a different arrangement position is shown for the arrangement positions of the power connectors 741 to 744 compared to the configurations of the delivery boxes 11 to 14 shown in FIG. 1 and the configurations of the delivery boxes 411 and 412 shown in FIG. 3.

[0035] In the example of FIG. 4, the delivery box 711 has a rectangular parallelepiped (or a cube may also be acceptable) shape. In the example of FIG. 4, the delivery box 711 has two surfaces parallel to the XY plane, two surfaces parallel to the XZ plane, and two surfaces parallel to the YZ plane.

[0036] Inside the delivery box 711, a circuit unit 731 and a connection cable 751 are provided. The circuit unit 731 includes a power circuit and a load circuit. In addition, in the example of FIG. 4, for simplicity of illustration, the internal wiring of the delivery box 711 is grouped together and shown as the connection cable 751.

[0037] In the example of FIG. 4, in the delivery box 711, one power connector 741 is arranged at a position in front of the left side of the lower surface (a position in the negative X-axis direction and the negative Y-axis direction). Also, in the delivery box 711, one power connector 742 is arranged at a position in front of the lower side of the right surface (a position in the negative Z-axis direction and the negative Y-axis direction). Also, in the delivery box 711, one power connector 743 is arranged at a position in front of the left side of the upper surface (a position in the negative X-axis direction and the negative Y-axis direction). Also, in the delivery box 711, one power connector 744 is arranged at a position in front of the lower side of the left surface (a position in the negative Z-axis direction and the negative Y-axis direction).

[0038] Here, the surface of the power connector 741 arranged on the lower surface and the surface of the power connector 743 arranged on the upper surface are opposed to each other. Also, the surface of the power connector 742 arranged on the right side and the surface of the power connector 744 arranged on the left side face each other. In the delivery box 711, power connectors 741 to 744 are arranged on all the upper, lower, left, and right surfaces. Multiple delivery boxes can be arranged in any orientation in the vertical and horizontal directions, freely combined, and power sharing can be achieved.

[0039] The circuit unit 731 is connected to each of all the power connectors 741 to 744 via a connection cable 751.

[0040] In the example of FIG. 4, the power connectors 741 to 744 have a structure in which they are directly connected to other power connectors (power connectors of other delivery boxes). The structure may be, for example, a structure in which a male type and a female type are combined and connected. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 4, a power cable is not required for connecting the power connectors to each other. Also, the power connectors 741 to 744 are each configured to include a connector portion and a shutter, similar to the configuration shown in FIG. 2, for example.

[0041] <An example of the combination of multiple delivery boxes> FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the combination of multiple delivery boxes 711 to 714 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 5, for convenience of explanation, the XYZ coordinate axes, which are three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate axes, are shown. For convenience of explanation, the direction parallel to the X-axis is defined as the left-right direction, the direction parallel to the Y-axis is defined as the front-back direction, and the direction parallel to the Z-axis is defined as the up-down direction.

[0042] In the example of FIG. 5, the delivery box 711 is the same as that shown in FIG. 4. Also, the other delivery boxes 712 to 714 each have the same structure as the delivery box 711. The delivery box 712 includes a circuit unit 771, four power connectors 781 to 784, and a connection cable 791. The delivery box 713 includes a circuit unit 811, four power connectors 821 to 824, and a connection cable 831. The delivery box 714 includes a circuit unit 851, four power connectors 861 to 864, and a connection cable 871.

[0043] In the example of FIG. 5, it is an example in the case where four delivery boxes 711 to 714 are arranged and combined in a 2×2 (vertical direction × horizontal direction) layout. The delivery box 712 is arranged on the right side of the delivery box 711. The delivery box 713 is arranged below the delivery box 711. The delivery box 714 is arranged diagonally below and to the right of the delivery box 711.

[0044] The power connector 742 on the right side of the delivery box 711 and the power connector 784 on the left side of the delivery box 712 are directly connected. The power connector 781 on the lower side of the delivery box 712 and the power connector 863 on the upper side of the delivery box 714 are directly connected. The power connector 864 on the left side of the delivery box 714 and the power connector 822 on the right side of the delivery box 713 are directly connected. The power connector 823 on the upper side of the delivery box 713 and the power connector 741 on the lower side of the delivery box 711 are directly connected.

[0045] Here, for the power connectors 742, 784, 781, 863, 864, 822, 823, 741 that are connected between adjacent delivery boxes, they are in use for connection, and the shutters are fully open. On the other hand, for the other power connectors, they are not in use for connection, and the shutters are fully closed.

[0046] As in the examples of FIGS. 4 and 5, the connection between power connectors may be directly connected without passing through a power cable.

[0047] Here, in the examples of FIGS. 1 to 5, the case where a shutter is used as an object (covering portion) that covers the power connector portion in each power connector has been shown. However, as another example, a detachable lid, or a detachable dummy plug, etc. may be used. Note that the covering portion does not necessarily have to cover the entire surface of the connector portion, and it is sufficient if it can suppress the adhesion of dust, etc., and objects with various structures may be used.

[0048] As described above, in the home delivery box system 1 according to the present embodiment, when a plurality of home delivery boxes equipped with batteries are installed, the deviation in the remaining battery levels of each home delivery box can be reduced.

[0049] In the home delivery box system 1 according to the present embodiment, when a plurality of home delivery boxes are combined, the power circuits and load circuits of these plurality of home delivery boxes are connected to each other, so that the remaining amounts of the batteries of these plurality of home delivery boxes can be maintained the same (or substantially the same). Therefore, in the home delivery box system 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, a situation where only the battery of the frequently used home delivery box runs out can be avoided. Also, in the home delivery box system 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, the deviation in the remaining battery levels in a plurality of home delivery boxes can be eliminated, whereby the timing of battery replacement for these plurality of home delivery boxes can be made to coincide, and by enabling the batteries of all the home delivery boxes to be replaced at once, the burden of the battery replacement work can be reduced.

[0050] Also, in the home delivery box system 1 according to the present embodiment, a covering portion (for example, a shutter, etc.) is provided on the power connector of the home delivery box, and the resistance to dust, etc. can be improved. Also, in the home delivery box system 1 according to the present embodiment, the combination of a plurality of home delivery boxes is free, and it is easy to add more.

[0051] In this way, in the delivery box system 1 according to this embodiment, by connecting a plurality of delivery boxes, it is possible to share power sources.

[0052] In this embodiment, the case of combining a plurality of delivery boxes having the same structure is shown. However, as another configuration example, a plurality of delivery boxes having different shapes or sizes may be combined. For example, among three delivery boxes, one delivery box may be large, and the other two delivery boxes may be the same size and small. The power connectors on each of the two surfaces of the large delivery box may be connected to the power connectors on one surface of each of the two small delivery boxes.

[0053] As a specific example, in the delivery box system 1 according to this embodiment, in an IoT delivery box equipped with a battery, there are four power connectors, one each on the top, bottom, left, and right. Then, by connecting the power connectors of two different delivery boxes to each other via a power cable or directly, the remaining battery levels can be shared between these delivery boxes. Also, the power connector of the delivery box has a structure in which a covering part (for example, a shutter, etc.) can be opened and closed. When not in use (when not being used for connection), the covering part can be closed to prevent the influence of dust, etc.

[0054] In the above embodiment, an IoT delivery box is exemplified, but it may be applied to other delivery boxes.

[0055] In the above embodiment, a delivery box is shown as an example of a storage box, but it is not limited to this. As the storage box, it may be applied to various other things. As a specific example, as the storage box, it may be applied to a cabinet for putting luggage or a housing for accommodating electrical equipment. As the housing for accommodating electrical equipment, for example, it may be a cubicle or a distribution board.

[0056] [Storage box] In the above, the delivery box system and the delivery box have been described as examples. However, the same technology as in this embodiment can be applied to other storage box systems and storage boxes.

[0057] <Configuration Example> As one configuration example, the storage box includes a power supply circuit that supplies power using a battery, and a power connector. The power connector can be connected to a power connector (first power connector) of another storage box (first storage box), and is connected to the power supply circuit. The other storage box (first storage box) includes a power supply circuit (first power supply circuit) that supplies power using a battery (first battery). The power connector (first power connector) of the other storage box (first storage box) is connected to the power supply circuit (first power supply circuit) of the other storage box (first storage box). Note that such a configuration example is shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4, and 5 in the delivery box according to this embodiment.

[0058] As one configuration example, the storage box has a rectangular parallelepiped or cubic shape. The storage box includes power connectors on each of two mutually opposing surfaces and on each of another two mutually opposing surfaces. Note that such a configuration example is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in the delivery box according to this embodiment.

[0059] As one configuration example, the storage box further includes a covering portion that can be switched between a state of covering the surface of the power connector and a state of being exposed. Note that such a configuration example is shown in FIG. 2 and the like in the delivery box according to this embodiment.

[0060] As one configuration example, in the storage box, the power connector and the power connector (first power connector) of another storage box (first storage box) are connected via a cable (for example, a power cable). Note that such a configuration example is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 in the delivery box according to this embodiment.

[0061] As a configuration example, in the storage box, the power connector is directly connected to the power connector (the first power connector) of another storage box (the first storage box). Note that such a configuration example is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in the delivery box according to the present embodiment.

[0062] Note that a program for realizing the function of any component in any of the devices described above (for example, a storage box such as a delivery box) may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program may be read into a computer system and executed. Here, the “computer system” is assumed to include an operating system or hardware such as peripheral devices. Further, the “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, a portable medium such as a CD (Compact Disc)-ROM (Read Only Memory), or a storage device such as a hard disk built into a computer system. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” also includes a volatile memory inside a computer system that becomes a server or a client when a program is transmitted via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line, and holds the program for a certain period of time. The volatile memory may be, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory). The recording medium may be, for example, a non-transitory recording medium.

[0063] Also, the above program may be transmitted from a computer system storing the program in a storage device or the like to another computer system via a transmission medium or by a transmission wave in the transmission medium. Here, the “transmission medium” for transmitting the program refers to a medium having a function of transmitting information, such as a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. Also, the above program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above. Further, the above program may be a so-called differential file that can be realized in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system for realizing the functions described above. The differential file may be called a differential program.

[0064] Also, the functions of any component in any of the devices described above (for example, a storage box such as a delivery box) may be realized by a processor. For example, each process in the embodiment may be realized by a processor that operates based on information such as a program and a computer-readable recording medium that stores information such as a program. Here, the processor may be configured such that the functions of each part are realized by individual hardware, or the functions of each part are realized by integrated hardware. For example, the processor includes hardware, and the hardware may include at least one of a circuit that processes digital signals and a circuit that processes analog signals. For example, the processor may be configured using one or more circuit devices mounted on a circuit board, or one or both of one or more circuit elements. As the circuit device, an IC (Integrated Circuit) or the like may be used, and as the circuit element, a resistor or a capacitor or the like may be used.

[0065] Here, the processor may be, for example, a CPU. However, the processor is not limited to the CPU, and various processors such as, for example, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) may be used. Also, the processor may be, for example, a hardware circuit by an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). Further, the processor may be composed of, for example, a plurality of CPUs, or may be composed of a hardware circuit by a plurality of ASICs. Also, the processor may be composed of a combination of, for example, a plurality of CPUs and a hardware circuit by a plurality of ASICs.
