Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the implementation of various services, an opening 111 is further formed in the cabinet door 105, the opening 111 penetrates through the cabinet door 105, the opening 111 is used for communicating the inside and the outside of the cabinet body 103, so as to assist in completing operations which need to be completed by communicating the inside and the outside of the cabinet body 103, for example, in this embodiment, a storage box 115 is arranged in a cavity 207 of the cabinet body 103, the storage box 115 is fixedly connected with one side, close to an opening 208, of the cabinet door 105, the storage box 115 has a storage space, the storage space can be communicated with the outside of the cabinet 101 through the opening 111, and a user can complete delivery and storage services of articles such as envelopes or files to the storage box 115 through the opening 111. Of course, in other embodiments, the opening 111 may be opened on any one wall of the cabinet 103; meanwhile, the opening 111 may be configured to facilitate the delivery of articles into the cabinet 103 for storage, and may also be configured to facilitate a user to send media to be processed through the opening 111 when a business processing mechanism communicated with the opening 111 is disposed in the cabinet 103, for example, a printing mechanism communicated with the opening 111 may be disposed in the cabinet 103, and the user may extend sheet media such as a passbook from the opening 111 to the printing mechanism for printing business, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

In detail, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the gate mechanism 113 when the gate 125 of the self-service device 100 provided in this embodiment is located at the open position; FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the gate mechanism 113 when the gate 125 of the self-service device 100 is in the closed position; fig. 5 is an exploded schematic view of the gate mechanism 113 of the self-service device 100 provided in this embodiment. Referring to fig. 2 to fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the gate mechanism 113 is disposed in the cavity 207 of the cabinet 103 and fixedly connected to the storage box 115, when the door 105 closes the opening 208, the storage box 115 and the gate mechanism 113 are both located in the cabinet 103, and when the door 105 opens the opening 208, the storage box 115 and the gate mechanism 113 are both located outside the cabinet 103. Further, the shutter mechanism 113 specifically includes a frame 123, a shutter 125, and a drive assembly 127.

Specifically, the frame 123 is fixedly connected to the storage box 115, and the shutter 125 is movably connected to the frame 123, and has an open position facing and spaced from the opening 111 and a closed position blocking the opening 111. A drive assembly 127 is drivingly connected to the gate 125 for driving the gate 125 between the open position and the closed position such that when the gate 125 is in the open position, a user may deliver items to the receptacle 115 through the opening 111 and when the gate 125 is in the closed position, the items within the receptacle 115 may be safely stored. Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, since the shutter 125 is disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the opening 111 in the open position, it is not necessary to occupy a space near the opening 111 of the cabinet door 105, and therefore the storage box 115 may be disposed below the opening 111 to receive the articles delivered from the opening 111, and the shutter mechanism 113 may be fixed to the storage box 115; moreover, the opening and the blocking of the opening 111 can be realized by the movement of the gate 125 along the direction opposite to the opening 111, that is, the opening and the closing of the gate 125 only need to occupy the space matched with the size of the opening 111, if the opening and the closing movement of the gate 125 is imagined as a cuboid, the length direction of the cuboid is the opening and closing movement direction of the gate 125, and the bottom surface of the cuboid is the opening 111, which means that the opening and the closing movement of the gate 125 do not occupy the space outside the opening 111 near the cabinet door 105, so that the normal operation of opening and blocking the opening 111 can be ensured under the condition that the space near the opening 111 is limited, and the safety and the reliability of each operation performed through the opening 111 can be further improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the rack 123 may also be fixedly connected to the side wall of the cabinet 103, and this embodiment is not limited.

Preferably, in this embodiment, since the opening/closing movement of the shutter 125 does not occupy the space except for the opening 111 near the cabinet door 105, and the opening 111 is disposed on the cabinet door 105, the storage box 115 may be disposed below the shutter mechanism 113 and fixedly connected to the cabinet door 105, and the input port 225 is disposed on the top of the storage box 115, and the shutter mechanism 113 is specifically disposed on the top of the storage box 115 and fixedly connected to the sidewall of the storage box 115, so that when the shutter 125 is located at the open position, the shutter 125 is disposed opposite to the opening 111, the input port 225 is exposed, the opening 111 and the input port 225 communicate the storage space with the outside of the cabinet 103, and the user may deliver the articles to the storage space through the opening 111 and the input port 225, when the shutter 125 is located at the closed position, the shutter 125 blocks the space between the opening 111 and the input port 225, so that the path between the storage space and the outside of the cabinet 103 is blocked, the articles in the storage space can be safely stored. Meanwhile, as the gate mechanism 113 is arranged above the storage box 115, the gate mechanism 113 does not occupy the storage space of the storage box 115, and the storage capacity of the storage box 115 is increased.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the storage box 115 specifically includes a box body 202 and a box door 203, the box body 202 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cabinet door 105, an outlet (not shown) is disposed at an end of the box body 202 away from the cabinet door 105, and the box door 203 is pivotally connected to an end of the box body 202 close to the outlet, and is used for opening or closing the outlet, so that when the cabinet door 105 opens the opening 208, a user can open the outlet through the box door 203 to take away articles stored in the storage box 115. Of course, the storage box 115 may also be provided with a lock 209, such as an electromagnetic lock or a mechanical lock, to lock the box door 203 at a position for closing the exit, so as to ensure stability and safety of the articles in the storage box 115, which is not described in detail in this embodiment.

In detail, the two side plates 133 are disposed opposite and parallel to each other along a horizontal direction (i.e., ab direction in fig. 3 to 5), the back plate 213 is disposed between the two side plates 133 and located at a rear end of the two side plates 133 along a front-back direction (i.e., cd direction in fig. 2 to 4), i.e., at an end away from the opening 111, and the two side plates 133 and the back plate 213 are both disposed to extend along a vertical direction (i.e., ef direction in fig. 3 to 5). The top plate 135 and the bottom plate 137 are relatively parallel and spaced in the vertical direction, and the top plate 135 and the bottom plate 137 are both connected between the two side plates 133, the top plate 135 is located at the upper end of the two side plates 133 and the back plate 213 in the vertical direction, and the bottom plate 137 is located at the lower end of the two side plates 133 and the back plate 213 in the vertical direction, so that the two side plates 133, the back plate 213, the top plate 135 and the bottom plate 137 jointly form a semi-closed structure. One end of the semi-closed structure near the opening 111 has a notch 211, and the shutter 125 is movably disposed at the notch 211 and opposite to the back plate 213 to form an installation space 155 together with the semi-closed structure. The driving assembly 127 is disposed in the installation space 155 and between the back plate 213 and the shutter 125, for driving the shutter 125 to move away from the back plate 213 and close to the opening 111 to close the opening 111 or move away from the opening 111 and close to the back plate 213 to open the opening 111.

On one hand, the driving assembly 127 is arranged in the installation space 155, so that the space in the rack 123 can be fully utilized, the structure of the gate mechanism 113 is more compact, the space occupied by the whole gate mechanism 113 can be further reduced, and the normal operation of opening and closing the opening 111 can be ensured; on the other hand, the driving assembly 127 is connected between the back plate 213 and the shutter 125, so that the shutter 125 is driven by the driving assembly 127 to move in a direction (i.e. in the direction ad in fig. 3 to 5) close to or away from the opening 111 to open and close the opening 111, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the opening and closing operation of the opening 111; on the other hand, the rack 123 and the gate 125 together enclose an installation space 155, the driving component 127 is located in the installation space 155, and the gate 125 moves in the installation space 155, so that the entire gate mechanism 113 is in a modular arrangement, and is easy to produce, assemble and use.

On one hand, since the first guide portion 147 and the second guide portion 149 are disposed in the fitting space, the guide groove 151 formed by the two first guide portions 147 is also located in the fitting space, so that foreign matters can be prevented from entering the guide groove 151 to affect the fitting of the guide groove 151 and the guide member 153, and the smoothness and reliability of switching the shutter 125 between the open position and the closed position can be ensured; on the other hand, the shutter 125 may be supported and limited by the cooperation of the guide 153 and the guide groove 151, so that the door panel 129 may move in the direction opposite to the opening 111, avoiding deviation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the opening and closing operation of the opening 111.

In detail, referring to fig. 5 and fig. 7 again, in the present embodiment, the second guiding portions 149 of the two guiding portions are slidably engaged with the two first plates 141 respectively to guide and support the gate 125, so that the gate 125 moves more smoothly.

Specifically, the first guide portion 147 and the second guide portion 149 are both plate-shaped structures protruding from the outer side wall of the side plate 133, each guide portion further includes a connecting plate 215 connected between the first guide portion 147 and the second guide portion 149, and the connecting plate 215 can be extended and connected between the first guide portion 147 and the second guide portion 149 in the vertical direction to increase the strength of the first guide portion 147 and the second guide portion 149, so as to ensure the smoothness and stability of the guide member 153 and the guide groove 151 after being matched; the link plate 215 can restrict the movement limit position of the guide 153 in the guide groove 151, and prevent the guide 153 from being detached from the guide groove 151. Specifically, each guide portion includes two connecting plates 215 connected between the first guide portion 147 and the second guide portion 149, and the two connecting plates 215 are respectively provided at both ends of the first guide portion 147 and the second guide portion 149 in the moving direction of the shutter 125, respectively, for limiting the limit positions to which the guide 153 moves toward both ends when the guide grooves 151 are fitted.

More specifically, fig. 8 is a structural sectional view of the shutter mechanism 113 of the self-service device 100 provided in this embodiment. Referring to fig. 7 and 8, in the present embodiment, the guiding element 153 may specifically include a spindle 157 and a guiding wheel 159, the spindle 157 is vertically and fixedly connected to the second plate 143, the guiding wheel 159 is sleeved outside the spindle 157 and can rotate around an axis of the spindle 157, and the guiding wheel 159 is in rolling fit with the guiding groove 151 to realize switching between the open position and the closed position of the shutter 125.

In detail, the motor 171 is accommodated in the installation space 155 in a horizontal direction, and is connected to the top plate 135. The output shaft 187 of the motor 171 is also disposed to extend in the horizontal direction, and the motor 171 is disposed near the back plate 213 to occupy a space within the installation space 155 near the back plate 213. The support shaft 173 and the output shaft 187 of the motor 171 are axially parallel and also extend in the horizontal direction, and the support shaft 173 is located below the output shaft 187 of the motor 171, i.e., spaced apart in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the shutter 125, to sufficiently occupy a space in the installation space 155 at a position close to the back plate 213. In addition, the motor pulley 175 is sleeved on the output shaft 187 and can be driven by the output shaft 187 to rotate, the first pulley 177 and the second pulley 179 are sequentially sleeved on the support shaft 173 along the length direction of the support shaft 173, and the first transmission belt 183 is sleeved on the outer sides of the motor pulley 175 and the first pulley 177 and is supported by the motor pulley 175 and the first pulley 177; the third belt wheel 181 is rotatably disposed on the frame 123, and is spaced from the second belt wheel 179 along the moving direction of the gate 125, and the second belt 185 is sleeved on the second belt wheel 179 and the third belt wheel 181, and is supported by the second belt wheel 179 and the third belt wheel 181; the door panel 129 and the second driving belt 185 are fixedly connected through the belt clamp 217. In the present embodiment, the motor pulley 175 and the first pulley 177 are spaced apart in the vertical direction (i.e., perpendicular to the moving direction of the door panel 129), and the second pulley 179 and the third pulley 181 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction (i.e., the moving direction of the door panel 129), which may further fully occupy the installation space 155, thereby further contributing to the compactness of the structure of the shutter mechanism 113.

With the above arrangement, when the output shaft 187 of the motor 171 rotates forward, the output shaft 187 can drive the motor pulley 175 to rotate, so as to drive the first transmission belt 183 to move, further drive the first pulley 177 sleeved outside the support shaft 173 to rotate, and further drive the second pulley 179, the second transmission belt 185 and the third pulley 181 to move, so that the door panel 129 can move in a direction close to the opening 111, so as to block the opening 111 when moving to the closed position; when the output shaft 187 of the motor 171 rotates reversely, the output shaft 187 can drive the motor pulley 175 to rotate reversely, so as to drive the first transmission belt 183 to move, further drive the second transmission belt 185 to move, further drive the door panel 129 to move in a direction away from the opening 111, so as to move to an open position, completely open the opening 111, and enable a user to deliver articles such as express mails and envelopes to the storage space of the storage box 115 through the opening 111 and the input port 225 in sequence for storage.

Of course, in other embodiments, the driving assembly 127 may also be a structure with a chain and a sprocket, which is not described in detail in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5 again, in the present embodiment, the gate mechanism 113 further includes a detecting element, the detecting element is a photoelectric sensor, and the detecting element includes a light emitter 161 and a receiver 163. The light emitter 161 is disposed at an end of the top plate 135 close to one end of the gate 125, and the receiver 163 is disposed at an end of the bottom plate 137 close to one end of the gate 125, opposite to and spaced apart from the light emitter 161, so as to be respectively located at two sides of the door panel 129; by arranging such that when the shutter 125 is in the closed position, the door panel 129 is positioned between the emitter 161 and the receiver 163 and is capable of blocking light emitted by the emitter 161 from reaching the receiver 163, the detecting member outputs a first signal, such as a high level; when the shutter 125 is located at the open position, the door panel 129 exits between the light emitter 161 and the receiver 163, the light emitted by the light emitter 161 can reach the receiver 163, and the detecting member outputs a second signal, for example, a low level, so that it can be detected whether the door panel 129 is moved in place when the shutter 125 is located at the closed position according to the signal output by the detecting member, and further whether the blocking of the opening 111 is in place can be determined, and thus the safety and reliability of various operations performed through the opening 111 can be ensured. Meanwhile, through the setting of the illuminator 161 and the receiver 163, when the gate 125 is located at the opening position, if there is an operator to stretch the hand into the opening 111, the hand will block the light emitted by the illuminator 161 to reach the receiver 163, therefore, it can be judged that there is a foreign object at the opening 111 according to the signal emitted by the detection piece, and then the gate 125 is prevented from being closed when there is a foreign object at the opening 111, therefore, the gate 125 moves to the closing position when the operator stretches the hand into the opening 111, thereby realizing the function of preventing the hand from being pinched, and then it can also detect whether the gate 125 is closed in place while preventing the hand from being pinched, and then there is no need to additionally set the detection piece, so that the structure of the gate mechanism 113 is simpler, and the manufacturing cost can be further reduced.

In detail, the door panel 129 is further provided with a protrusion 227, the protrusion 227 extends in a direction away from the opening 111 and extends along the length direction of the door panel 129, when the shutter 125 is located at the closed position, the protrusion 227 is located between the light emitter 161 and the receiver 163, and by providing the protrusion 227, it is ensured that the light emitted by the light emitter 161 can be blocked from reaching the receiver 163 when the shutter 125 is located at the closed position, so that the detection accuracy of the detection member is enhanced.

Of course, in other embodiments, the light emitter 161 may be disposed on the bottom plate 137, and the receiver 163 may be disposed on the top plate 135; alternatively, the light emitter 161 may be provided on one of the two side plates 133, the receiver 163 may be provided on the other of the two side plates 133, and the like; meanwhile, the detecting element may also determine whether the door panel 129 is moved in place by detecting the position of the side plate 133 when the door panel 129 blocks the opening 111, for example, the light emitter 161 may be disposed on the top plate 135 or the bottom plate 137, the receiver 163 may be disposed on the side plate 133 at the corresponding position, so that the supporting plate 131 is located between the receiver 163 and the light emitter 161, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5 again, in the present embodiment, the shutter mechanism 113 includes a plurality of detecting elements (not shown), the detecting elements are disposed at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the shutter 125, that is, the light emitters 161 are disposed at intervals along the horizontal direction at an end of the top plate 135 close to the opening 111, and the receivers 163 are disposed at intervals along the horizontal direction at an end of the bottom plate 137 close to the opening 111, so that when the shutter 125 is located at the closed position, the door panel 129 is located between the light emitters 161 and the receivers 163 of the detecting elements, and can simultaneously block the light emitted by the light emitters 161 of the detecting elements. With such an arrangement, since the width of the door panel 129 is much larger than the width of a human hand, the number of the light emitters 161 that can be blocked by the door panel 129 is larger than the number of the light emitters 161 that can be blocked by a human hand, so that whether the door panel 129 is located between the light emitters 161 and the receivers 163 or the human hand can be determined according to the number of the receivers 163 that receive the light emitted by the light emitters 161, so as to ensure the orderly opening and closing operation of the opening 111.

As a preferable scheme, referring to fig. 7 and 8 again, in this embodiment, the gate mechanism 113 further includes a matching detection element 165, the matching detection element 165 may be a photoelectric sensor or a mechanical sensor, the matching detection element 165 is disposed on the frame 123, and the matching detection element 165 and the light emitter 161 of the detection element are disposed at intervals along the moving direction of the gate 125, and when the gate 125 is located at the open position, the matching detection element 165 can be driven to output a corresponding detection signal, so that the matching detection element 165 and the detection element can cooperate to jointly detect two limit positions of the gate 125 on the moving path, that is, detect whether the gate 125 moves to the open position through the matching detection element 165, and detect whether the gate 125 moves to the closed position through the detection element, thereby more effectively ensuring the reliability of the moving process of the gate 125.

In detail, the fit detection member 165 is disposed adjacent to the notch 211 of the frame 123, below the top plate 135, and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top plate 135 by a mounting member 219. When the fitting detection member 165 is an optoelectronic sensor, the fitting detection member 165 specifically includes a fitting light emitter (not shown) and a fitting receiver (not shown) that are opposed and spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The shutter 125 is further provided with a limit plate 221, the limit plate 221 is substantially L-shaped and is arranged at one end of the door panel 129 close to the frame 123 along the front-back direction, such that, when the shutter 125 is in the open position, the limit plate 221 may be positioned between the mating light emitter and the mating receptacle, and can block light emitted by the mating light emitter from reaching the mating receiver, the mating detection element 165 outputs a first signal, such as a high level, when the shutter 125 is in the closed position, the position-limiting plate 221 is withdrawn between the mating light emitter and the mating receiver, the light emitted from the mating light emitter can reach the mating receiver, the mating detecting member 165 outputs a second signal, for example, a low level, whether the shutter 125 is moved to the open position can be effectively detected based on the signal output from the fit detecting member 165, so that when the opening 111 is opened, a user can deliver articles such as express items, envelopes and the like into the storage space of the storage box 115 through the opening 111 for storage.

Of course, in other embodiments, the detecting element and the matching detecting element 165 may be configured as other types of sensors, for example, a radio sensor or a pressure sensor, and the details are not repeated in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 9 again, in the present embodiment, the gate mechanism 113 can further include a locking component according to requirements. The locking assembly is disposed in the installation space 155, and the locking assembly is configured to lock the gate 125 when the gate 125 is located at the closed position, so as to ensure stability of the gate 125 when located at the closed position, thereby preventing a lawbreaker from opening the gate 125 from the outside, and stealing the articles in the storage box 115.

In detail, the locking assembly specifically includes a driving member 189, a connecting member 191, and a locking member 193. The locking member 193 is fixedly coupled to the bottom plate 137 and disposed adjacent to the motor 171 of the driving assembly 127, i.e., adjacent to the back plate 213, to fully utilize the space in the installation space 155 near the back plate 213, thereby preventing the space in the back plate 213 from being wasted, and making the shutter mechanism 113 more compact. The bottom plate 137 of the frame 123 is further provided with a fixing frame 195, the fixing frame 195 is disposed adjacent to the shutter 125 and opposite to the back plate 213, and the locking member 193 is pivotally connected to the fixing frame 195 through a rotating shaft 223. The coupling member 191 is coupled between the driving member 189 and the locking member 193. The driving member 189 is configured to drive the connecting member 191 to move so as to drive the locking member 193 to rotate between the first position and the second position, when the shutter 125 is located at the closed position and the locking member 193 is located at the first position, the locking member 193 is opposite to a side of the door panel 129 facing away from the opening 111, and is used for preventing the shutter 125 from moving to the open position, so as to lock the position of the shutter 125, so that the door panel 129 always blocks the opening 111, and the stability of the shutter 125 is prevented from being affected by external force, and when the locking member 193 is located at the second position, the locking member 193 exits from a moving path of the shutter 125, so as to ensure that the shutter 125 can be switched between the closed position and the open position, and ensure that various operations can be performed normally. That is, through the arrangement of the locking assembly, when the gate 125 is located at the closed position and the locking member 193 is located at the first position, the locking member 193 can abut against the side of the door panel 129 away from the opening 111 to lock the gate 125 at the closed position, when the opening 111 needs to be opened and the delivery is carried out, the driving member 189 drives the connecting member 191 to move, the connecting member 191 drives the locking member 193 to rotate to the second position, at this time, the locking member 193 is located outside the moving path of the gate 125 to release the locking of the position of the gate 125, and the gate 125 can be driven by the driving assembly 127 to move from the closed position to the open position, so that the reliability of the gate 125 in the working process is ensured.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the driving member 189 is specifically selected to be an electromagnet, the connecting member 191 may be selected to be a plate-shaped structure or a rod-shaped structure for connection, and the locking member 193 is selected to be a plate-shaped structure pivotally connected to the fixing frame 195. And both ends of the connecting member 191 are respectively hinged with the driving member 189 and the locking member 193 to drive the locking member 193 to rotate the rotating shaft 223 by the driving member 189, so as to lock and unlock the shutter 125.

Preferably, in this embodiment, the locking assembly further includes an elastic member 197, and the elastic member 197 is connected between the locking member 193 and the fixing frame 195, and is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 223, so that the locking member 193 always has a tendency to rotate toward the first position, thereby ensuring stability and reliability of the shutter 125 when the door panel 129 blocks the opening 111.

Of course, in other embodiments, the locking component may also be selected as a retractable structure such as an air cylinder, and when the shutter 125 is located at the closed position, the air cylinder extends out to drive the shutter 125 to be stably located at the closed position, and when the shutter 125 needs to move to the open position, the air cylinder retracts out of the movement path of the shutter 125, which is not limited in this embodiment.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the self-service device 100 may also be used in the field of storage technology to facilitate storage of articles such as take-out, medicine, and medical equipment, and the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The working principle of the self-service device 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention is explained in detail as follows:

when the self-service device 100 is used for storing articles such as express items and envelopes, the motor 171 of the driving assembly 127 can be used for reversely rotating to drive the motor belt wheel 175 to rotate, so as to drive the first transmission belt 183 and the second transmission belt 185 to move, further drive the gate 125 fixedly connected with the second transmission belt 185 to move to an opening position in a direction away from the opening 111, detect whether the gate 125 moves to the position through the matching detection piece 165, and if the gate moves to the position, a user can deliver the articles to the storage space of the storage box 115 below the gate mechanism 113 through the opening 111 to store the articles. After the user delivers the goods, the motor 171 of the driving assembly 127 can be used to rotate forward to drive the motor pulley 175 to rotate, so as to drive the first transmission belt 183 and the second transmission belt 185 to move, and then drive the gate 125 fixedly connected with the second transmission belt 185 to move to the closing position in the direction close to the opening 111, so that the door panel 129 blocks the opening 111, at this time, whether the door panel 129 moves in place is detected through the detection member, if the door panel 129 moves in place, the driving member 189 of the locking assembly drives the connecting member 191 to drive the locking member 193 to rotate to the first position to lock the gate 125 at the closing position.

In the above process, the gate 125 of the self-service device 100 is opposite to and spaced from the opening 111 when in the open position, so that the space near the opening 111 does not need to be occupied, and the gate 125 moves relative to the frame 123 in the direction opposite to the opening 111 to open and close the opening 111, so that the normal operation of opening and closing the opening 111 can be ensured under the condition that the space near the opening 111 is limited, and the safety and reliability of various operations performed through the opening 111 can be further improved.

In summary, the self-service device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of small space occupied by the gate mechanism 113 and high reliability, and therefore, the self-service device 100 also has the advantages of high working efficiency and high reliability.
