Description

A delivery rack and logistics component

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on July 24, 2023, with application number: 202321955330.7 and application name: "A delivery rack and logistics component", all contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics, in particular to a delivery rack and a logistics component. Background Art

[0003] The current express lockers in the logistics industry are used to place express deliveries by setting up multiple compartments on the frame. Each compartment is equipped with a door. The courier places the express package in the compartment, and the recipient opens the door to take out the express by scanning the pickup code or QR code, such as the Fengchao express lockers in residential communities.

[0004] During use, each slot in these express lockers is fixed in position, and the sizes of the slots vary. However, the shapes of express packages vary, resulting in limitations in the use of these lockers. Couriers must select a slot that corresponds to the size of the package and cannot place it arbitrarily. Furthermore, it is common for the locker to have an empty slot but be unable to accommodate a package due to its small size, resulting in wasted space and low space utilization.

[0005] Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the current express delivery cabinets have fixed compartments, cannot place express parcels arbitrarily, and have low space utilization. The utility model provides a delivery rack and logistics components that can allow express parcels to be placed arbitrarily on the delivery rack and effectively improve space utilization.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present invention disclose a delivery rack for accommodating logistics boxes, comprising:

[0008] The delivery rack body is provided with a plurality of accommodating units, each of the accommodating units extending in the depth direction;

[0009] Each of the accommodating units is used to detachably accommodate a logistics box, or detachably accommodate a part of the logistics box;

[0010] Along the depth direction, one side of each of the accommodating units is open, and the other side is provided with a rear wall, and the opening is used for the logistics box to enter the accommodating unit;

[0011] Along the first direction, there is an accommodating channel between every two adjacent accommodating units, and each of the accommodating channels can be used to detachably accommodate a part of the logistics box. The first direction is perpendicular to the depth direction.

[0012] The above technical solution is adopted, by setting a storage channel between any two adjacent storage units, and using a special logistics box, so that the logistics box can be accommodated in multiple storage units at the same time. The logistics box has a variety of sizes. For example, when a logistics box is accommodated in one storage unit, the logistics box is called 1U (Unit); when a logistics box is accommodated in two storage units, the logistics box is called 2U; when a logistics box is accommodated in three storage units, the logistics box is called 3U; when a logistics box is accommodated in four storage units, the logistics box is called 4U. And so on, it also includes NU and so on. Each size of logistics box adopts a unified structural design, which is conducive to the standardization of logistics boxes, effectively improves the loading and unloading efficiency during the delivery process, and avoids the use of paper express boxes to generate a large amount of garbage, which is beneficial to environmental protection. Among them, express items are stored in the logistics box.

[0013] Compared to traditional express lockers (such as Fengchao lockers), couriers can insert logistics boxes into one or more storage units of the delivery rack of this utility model (the number of storage units inserted depends on the size of the logistics box), eliminating the need to spend time searching for empty storage units of the same size as the logistics box, effectively improving convenience and loading efficiency. Moreover, each storage unit can accommodate a logistics box, eliminating space waste.

[0014] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, along the first direction, a plurality of the accommodation units form an accommodation group;

[0015] Along the second direction, a plurality of the accommodating groups are provided on the delivery rack body, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the depth direction respectively.

[0016] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, each of the accommodating units has the same size and structure.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting each accommodating unit to the same size and structure, the logistics box can be arbitrarily inserted into one or multiple adjacent accommodating units, thereby improving the courier's loading efficiency and convenience.

[0018] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, one of the logistics boxes is detachably accommodated in one of the accommodation units; or

[0040] A second mating end is fixed to the other end of the push rod, and the second mating end is used to increase the contact area between the push rod and the mating portion.

[0041] The above technical solution provides a first mating end at the end of the spring to increase the contact area between the spring and the mating portion, thereby preventing the formation of dents on the surface of the mating portion after long-term use. A second mating end is provided at the end of the push rod to increase the contact area between the push rod and the mating portion, thereby preventing the push rod from damaging the surface of the mating portion after long-term use.

[0042] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the first mating end is in the shape of a circular plate;

[0043] The second mating end is in a circular plate shape.

[0044] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, a locking mechanism is provided on the rear wall of the accommodating unit, and the locking mechanism is used to cooperate with the locking structure at the rear of the logistics box to fix the logistics box in at least one of the accommodating units.

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, a locking mechanism is provided in the accommodation unit so that the logistics box can be locked in the accommodation unit, preventing unauthorized personnel from taking away the logistics box and ensuring the safety of the logistics box.

[0046] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the locking mechanism includes a lock core and a locking cavity;

[0080] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0081] 1 to 5 , an embodiment of the present application provides a delivery rack 1, comprising a delivery rack body 11. The delivery rack body 11 is provided with a plurality of accommodating units 121 (such as the area indicated by the dotted box D in FIG4 and FIG5 ), each of which extends along a depth direction X, and each of which can detachably accommodate a logistics box 2, or a portion of a logistics box 2.

[0082] Illustratively, along the depth direction X, one side of each accommodating unit 121 is open, and the other side is provided with a rear wall 1210 , and the opening is used for the logistics box 2 to enter the accommodating unit 121 .

[0083] Exemplarily, along the first direction Y (the first direction Y is perpendicular to the depth direction X), there is an accommodating channel 130 (such as the area shown in the dotted box C in Figures 4 and 5) between each two adjacent accommodating units 121, and each accommodating channel 130 can be used to detachably accommodate a portion of the logistics box 2. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the first direction Y. For example, when the delivery rack 1 is placed on the ground, the first direction Y can be a horizontal direction or a vertical direction. In the embodiment of the present application, the delivery rack 1 is described by taking the first direction Y as a vertical direction as an example.

[0084] The above embodiment is described below in conjunction with the logistics box 2:

[0085] Specifically, referring to FIG. 1 and in combination with FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 , FIG. 1 shows four logistics boxes 2 of different specifications, including: a first logistics box 21 , a second logistics box 22 , a third logistics box 23 and a fourth logistics box 24 .

[0086] For example, the first logistics box 21 is accommodated in a accommodating unit 121. According to the number of logistics boxes 2 accommodated in the accommodating unit 121, the first logistics box 21 can also be called 1U (U stands for Unit), that is, one accommodating unit 121 accommodates one first logistics box 21.

[0087] For example, the second logistics box 22 is accommodated in two accommodation units 121, the third logistics box 23 is accommodated in three accommodation units 121, and the fourth logistics box 24 is accommodated in four accommodation units 121. Accordingly, the second logistics box 22 is 2U, the third logistics box 23 is 3U, and the fourth logistics box 24 is 4U.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the second logistics box 22 is adapted to fit two accommodating units 121 at its height in the first direction Y, the third logistics box 23 is adapted to fit three accommodating units 121 at its height in the first direction Y, and the fourth logistics box 24 is adapted to fit four accommodating units 121 at its height in the first direction Y. An accommodating channel 130 is provided between each two adjacent accommodating units 121 to accommodate the portion of the second logistics box 22, the third logistics box 23, and the fourth logistics box 24 corresponding to the portion between two adjacent accommodating units 121 at their height in the first direction Y, thereby enabling logistics boxes 2 with a size of 1U or greater to be accommodated in two or more accommodating units 121.

[0089] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application only illustrate 1U, 2U, 3U, and 4U logistics boxes 2, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the logistics box 2 may also be 8U (i.e., one logistics box 2 accommodated in eight accommodating units 121), 12U (i.e., one logistics box 2 accommodated in twelve accommodating units 121), 18U (i.e., one logistics box 2 accommodated in eighteen accommodating units 121), or even NU (where N is a natural number greater than zero).

[0090] The delivery rack 1 described in the above embodiment is conducive to improving the convenience of the logistics industry. For example, a logistics box 2 can be arbitrarily inserted into two adjacent accommodating units 121 along the first direction Y. For example, assuming that seven accommodating units 121 are provided in sequence along the first direction Y, a courier arbitrarily inserts a 2U logistics box 2 into the two accommodating units 121 above the first direction Y, and another courier arbitrarily inserts a 4U logistics box 2 into the four accommodating units 121 below the first direction Y. At this time, there is another accommodating unit 121 between the 2U logistics box 2 and the 4U logistics box 2, and the accommodating unit 121 can accommodate a 1U logistics box 2. In other words, when the courier inserts the logistics box 2 into the accommodating unit 121, he does not need to consider the logistics box 2 that has been inserted on the current delivery rack 1. As long as there is enough space, any logistics box 2 can be inserted into the accommodating unit 121.

[0091] Furthermore, compared to traditional express lockers (e.g., Fengchao express lockers), the delivery rack 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application does not waste space. For example, regardless of the number of accommodating units 121 remaining between two adjacent logistics boxes 2 along the first direction Y, these accommodating units 121 can accommodate at least one logistics box 2 (i.e., a 1U logistics box 2).

[0092] Secondly, the structure and size of each accommodating unit 121 are the same, which is conducive to the standardization of the logistics box 2.

[0093] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 1 and 3, along the first direction Y, nineteen accommodating units 121 form a accommodating group 12, and along the second direction Z (the second direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction Y and the depth direction X, respectively), four accommodating groups 12 are provided on the delivery rack body 11.

[0094] The embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation on the number of accommodating units 121 within each accommodating group 12. For example, each accommodating group 12 may be provided with sixteen, eighteen, twenty, or other accommodating units 121. The embodiment of the present application also does not impose any specific limitation on the number of accommodating groups 12 on each delivery rack body 11. For example, each delivery rack body 11 may be provided with five, six, or seven, or other accommodating groups 12.

[0095] In a possible implementation, referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 5 , FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , along the first direction Y, two guide rails 13 are provided between every two adjacent accommodating units 121 .

[0096] For example, along the width direction of the accommodating unit 121 (in the embodiment of the present application, the width direction of the accommodating unit 121 is the second direction Z, and for ease of description, it is collectively referred to as the second direction Z below), side walls 1211 are provided on both sides of the accommodating unit 121. Two guide rails 13 between each two adjacent accommodating units 121 are spaced apart along the second direction Z on the side walls 1211 on both sides of the accommodating unit 121 and extend along the depth direction X. The function of the guide rails 13 is to provide guidance for the logistics box 2 along the depth direction X, so that the logistics box 2 enters the accommodating unit 121 along a fixed direction (i.e., the depth direction X). In addition, the guide rails 13 also support the logistics box 2.

[0097] 8 in combination with FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 , the function of the guide rail 13 will be described in detail below by taking the 3U logistics box 2 (ie, the third logistics box 23 in FIG. 1 ) as an example.

[0098] Along the first direction Y, the bottom of the third logistics box 23 is provided with guide grooves 231 (only one is shown in Figure 2 ) on both sides along the second direction Z. When the third logistics box 23 is inserted into the accommodating units 121, the guide grooves 231 move relative to the guide rails 13 along the depth direction X. Furthermore, two escape grooves 232 are provided on both sides of the third logistics box 23 along the second direction Z. The two escape grooves 232 are spaced apart along the first direction Y. The escape grooves 232 are used to avoid the two upper guide rails 13 along the first direction Y, allowing the third logistics box 23 to be accommodated within the three accommodating units 121 and the three accommodating channels 130.

[0099] Specifically, referring to Figure 8 in conjunction with Figures 1 and 2 , each guide rail 13 is a flat, rectangular plate extending along the depth direction X. Along the first direction Y, the guide rail 13 has a first flat surface 1311 and a second flat surface 1312 on either side. In other words, the first flat surface 1311 and the second flat surface 1312 are located on opposite sides of the guide rail 13 in the first direction Y. The first flat surface 1311 is used to support the logistics box 2. For example, the first flat surface 1311 can support the upper wall of the guide groove 231 along the first direction Y and can also guide the logistics box 2 along the depth direction X.

[0100] Exemplarily, along the first direction Y, one side of the guide rail 13 along the second direction Z is fixed to the side wall 1211 by a bolt 135, and the other side is bent toward the side of the second flat surface 1312 to form a first guide portion 132. The first guide portion 132 can increase the contact area between the guide rail 13 and the logistics box 2, and play a role in limiting the logistics box 2 along the second direction Z, so that the logistics box 2 will be smoother and will not shake when entering the accommodating unit 121. At the same time, the first guide portion 132 can also further provide a guiding function for the logistics box 2 along the depth direction X. Exemplarily, in order to prevent deformation, the first guide portion 132 is configured in a segmented manner, including a first guide segment 1321, a second guide segment 1322 and a third guide segment 1323, which can effectively extend the service life of the guide rail 13. Exemplarily, along the depth direction X, one end of the guide rail 13 close to the opening of the accommodating unit 121 is bent toward one side of the second flat surface 1312 to form a second guide portion 133. The second guide portion 133 is used to increase the contact area between the guide rail 13 and the side wall of the guide groove 231 of the logistics box 2 along the depth direction X (not shown in the figure) and the side wall of the avoidance groove 232 along the depth direction X (not shown in the figure), so as to provide the logistics box 2 with a limiting effect along the depth direction X. At the same time, the second guide portion 133 can also further provide the logistics box 2 with a guiding effect along the first direction Y, so that the logistics box 2 will not shake up and down during the process of entering the accommodating unit 121 along the depth direction X.

[0101] For example, referring to Figures 4, 5, and 8, two support plates 134 are provided on one side of the second flat surface 1312 along the first direction Y. The support plates 134 abut against the second flat surface 1312 along the first direction Y. The support plates 134 can provide support force to the guide rail 13 along the first direction Y, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the guide rail 13. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation on the number of support plates 134. For example, the number of support plates 134 can be three, four, or a plurality of others.

[0102] In one possible embodiment, referring to FIG4 in conjunction with FIG1 and FIG2 , along the depth direction X, the rear wall 1210 of each accommodating unit 121 is provided with four ejector pins 14 , which are used to electrically connect to the logistics box 2. Specifically, the rear portion 230 of each logistics box 2 is provided with four contacts 233 , and each ejector pin 14 cooperates with one of the contacts 233 to achieve an electrical connection between the delivery rack 1 and the logistics box 2 , so that the delivery rack 1 can control the opening or closing of the door of the logistics box 2 , as well as control the locking of the logistics box 2 within the accommodating unit 121 (see below for details) or the unlocking of the logistics box 2 from the accommodating unit 121 .

[0103] The embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation on the number of ejector pins 14 . The number of ejector pins 14 is related to the number of contacts 233 at the rear portion 230 of the logistics box 2 . For example, if the number of contacts 233 is five, the number of ejector pins 14 is also five accordingly.

[0104] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 3 and 4 in combination with Figure 2, along the depth direction X, the rear wall 1210 of each accommodating unit 121 is provided with a pop-up mechanism 15, and the pop-up mechanism 15 can cooperate with the matching part 234 at the rear of the logistics box 2 to pop a part of the logistics box 2 out of the accommodating unit 121, so as to facilitate the courier to take the logistics box 2 out of the accommodating unit 121.

[0105] Exemplarily, the ejection mechanism 15 is a spring 151. One end of the spring 151 is fixed to the rear wall 1210 of the accommodating unit 121 along the depth direction X, and the other end of the spring 151 is configured to abut against the mating portion 234 of the rear portion 230 of the logistics box 2. The spring 151 is retractable along the depth direction X. The logistics box 2 is accommodated within the accommodating unit 121 with the spring 151 compressed, locking the logistics box 2. When the logistics box 2 and the accommodating unit 121 are unlocked, the spring 151 is elastically acted upon to eject a portion of the logistics box 2 out of the accommodating unit 121, facilitating the courier's removal of the logistics box 2.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, two springs 151 are provided in each accommodating unit 121 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the number of the springs 151 may be three, four, or more.

[0107] In another possible embodiment, with continued reference to Figures 3 and 4 in conjunction with Figure 2 , the ejection mechanism 15 is a push rod 152 extending along the depth direction X. One end of the push rod 152 is fixed to the rear wall 1210 of the accommodating unit 121. The push rod 152 is movable along the depth direction X. The other end of the push rod 152 is configured to abut against the mating portion 234 of the rear portion 230 of the logistics box 2. Compared to the spring 151, the push rod 152 is less susceptible to deformation and has a longer service life.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, a push rod 152 is provided in each accommodating unit 121 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the number of the push rods 152 may be three, four, or more.

[0109] In some possible embodiments, each accommodating unit 121 is provided with only a spring 151 or a push rod 152. In other possible embodiments, each accommodating unit 121 is provided with both a spring 151 and a push rod 152. For example, as shown in FIG4 , in the embodiment of the present application, each accommodating unit 121 is provided with both a spring 151 and a push rod 152.

[0110] Exemplarily, the other end of the spring 151 (i.e., the end used to abut the mating portion 234) is fixed with a first mating end 1511, which is used to increase the contact area between the spring 151 and the mating portion 234 to prevent dents from forming on the surface of the mating portion 234 after long-term use.

[0111] The other end of the push rod 152 (i.e., the end used to abut against the mating part 234) is fixed with a second mating end 1521, which is used to increase the contact area between the push rod 152 and the mating part 234, so as to increase the force-bearing area of ​​the mating part 234 and prevent the push rod 152 from damaging the surface of the mating part 234 after long-term use.

[0112] Specifically, the first mating end 1511 is in the shape of a circular plate, and the second mating end 1521 is also in the shape of a circular plate. However, the embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the shapes of the first mating end 1511 and the second mating end 1521. For example, they can also be square, triangular, or other shapes.

[0113] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and in combination with Figures 2 and 6, the rear wall 1210 of the accommodating unit 121 is provided with a locking mechanism 16, which can cooperate with the locking structure 235 of the rear part 230 of the logistics box 2 to fix the logistics box 2 in the accommodating unit 121.

[0114] Specifically, the locking mechanism 16 includes a lock core 161 and a locking cavity 162. The lock structure 235 is an annular lock. The locking cavity 162 has an opening, and the lock core 161 is disposed at the opening of the locking cavity 162. The lock core 161 can open or close the locking cavity 162.

[0115] When the annular locking structure 235 enters the locking cavity 162 from the opening of the locking cavity 162 along the depth direction X, the lock core 161 closes the locking cavity 162 to lock the annular locking structure 235 so that the logistics box 2 is fixed in the accommodating unit 121.

[0116] When the locking cavity 162 is opened, the locking cavity 162 has a substantially C-shaped structure, and when the locking cavity 162 is closed, the locking cavity has a substantially annular structure.

[0117] For example, referring to FIG6 in conjunction with FIG4 , in an embodiment of the present application, the locking mechanism 16 and the push rod 152 are integrated into a single container 150. Along a first direction Y, the push rod 152 is located above the locking mechanism 16. Along a depth direction X, the push rod 152 and the locking mechanism 16 are located on the same side of the container 150. The container 150 has a fixing plate 1501 on the other side of the container 150 along the depth direction X. The container 150 can be fixed to the rear wall 1201 of the container unit 121 via the fixing plate 1501. Integrating the push rod 152 and the locking mechanism 16 into a single container 150 can effectively conserve internal space in the container unit 121 and facilitate installation of the locking mechanism 16 and the push rod 152.

[0118] In one possible embodiment, referring to FIG1 and FIG3 , the delivery rack body 11 is provided with an interactive device 17 , which includes a display screen 170 .
