Description

Intelligent inlet channel

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to an intelligent entryway.

Background

When guests enter and exit the building, the entrance door or gate may be the first or last structure encountered and leave a durable impression of the overall appearance of the building, requiring an elegant and attractive door. Furthermore, as apartments and multi-family homes increase, security becomes increasingly important, requiring secure front entrance doors and gates. Further, as the number of online purchases of groceries and other items increases, there is an increasing need to store, protect, and preserve the items delivered without face-to-face interaction with the carrier.

Traditionally, dairy workers deliver milk and other perishable dairy products to residents in the morning, sometimes in areas lacking good refrigeration, on a daily basis. Milk industry will place these items at the doorway, in an incubator near the front door, or in a cabinet that can be accessed from the outside (for delivery) and from the inside (for pick-up). Such a milk cabinet is not refrigerated or safe for the purpose of the recipient to quickly remove and use the milk. Furthermore, it is possible for an intruder to reach into the milk cabinet to view the interior of the house, or to access and unlock a lock (e.g., a door lock) within the house. With the popularity of refrigeration, and with the increasing popularity of automobiles and supermarkets, milk does not need to be delivered daily, as consumers can purchase large amounts of milk and store the milk in a refrigerator in the home. The milk cabinet is out of the way.

More modern access doors may include slots that deliver newspapers or other small items. In addition, mailboxes that are farther from the door are typically assigned to a residence for the courier to deposit letters and other small items. However, larger packages often must be placed outside a door or in front of an apartment building. Although mailboxes may be secured with locks, they are typically very small and are made of metal so their insulating properties are not high. In addition, the newspaper slot allows an intruder to see an indoor situation or reach out to attempt to unlock the door from the inside.

Modern consumers are increasingly reluctant to buy milk and other groceries in person, and grocery delivery is becoming popular. Thus, there is a need for an access door that can safely receive larger items for delivery while preventing an intruder from seeing an indoor situation or unlocking the door with such an access door. Furthermore, as consumers are increasingly out away from their homes, there is a need for an entry door or storage system that can hold perishable items for a relatively long period of time.

Korean registered patent publication No. 20-0357547 discloses a refrigerator configured to be installed in an existing front door or alternatively installed on an outer wall adjacent to the front door. The refrigerator comprises: a door configured to open and close from outside the front door for delivery; and a door configured to open and close from inside the front door for receipt. However, only the internal (or "receiving") door has a door lock, and therefore, the not yet retrieved items stored by the deliverer may be stolen. In addition, the door lock is a traditional door lock, and outsiders can forbid or unlock the door lock. Since the refrigerator and the existing front door are separately installed, the function of coordination operation is not provided. In addition, since the outer wall is often a load bearing wall, installation of such a refrigerator at a door or outer wall may cause structural damage. Such a construction may present fire durability problems, especially in the case of large front doors.

Korean patent No. 10-0809044 discloses a non-contact type face authentication door lock system having: a door lock for locking and unlocking the entrance door; and a camera attached to the ceiling for authenticating the face of the user for entry. The door lock is controlled by receiving a wireless signal from a camera, thus being vulnerable to an external hacker, being difficult to control when the signal is lost, and being bulky due to having many components to provide the wireless signal. Furthermore, the camera and other components are separately mounted on the outside, which may give an unpleasant appearance.

The above references are incorporated herein where appropriate to teach additional or alternative details, features and/or technical background as appropriate.

Since the access door and door frame may mask a first opening through which a person may pass, and the storage box and storage frame may mask a second opening for delivering items, heat is less likely to penetrate into a room or interior space during a fire.

Embodiments disclosed herein may include intelligent gates with locking devices hidden from the outside. Embodiments disclosed herein may have the advantage of preventing or reducing foreign body intrusion because the repair slots for repairing or replacing the locking devices may also be hidden from the outside. The service cover may have a service slot. Since the service cover may not be exposed to the outside, intrusion of outsiders may be prevented or reduced. Since the service slot may be exposed only when the access door is open, entry of outsiders may be reduced.

Embodiments disclosed herein may provide a locking device that is shielded by an access door and can only be inserted or withdrawn through a service slot. The locking device may have the advantage that the construction of the locking device may not be exposed to the outside at all, since the locking bolt may protrude through the hole of the service cover towards the access door. The service cover may simultaneously cover a service opening for mounting the door lock and/or the authentication device. The service cover may be located between a first panel and a second panel that form the access door and may only be accessed by opening the access door. Since the door lock can be installed between the first and second security panels formed of a metal material, the door lock can be accessed only by removing the service cover. The door lock may be installed through one side of the security assembly and the case door lock may be installed through the other side. The security panel can operate the case door lock and the door lock in two directions.

Embodiments disclosed herein may provide a storage gate provided with an authentication device and a lock device between the gate and the storage box to selectively lock or unlock the gate provided at one side and the door of the storage box provided at the other side. Embodiments disclosed herein may selectively open a first door exposed to the outside via an authentication device and selectively open a second door exposed to the inside via which items may be received in a non-face-to-face manner.

Embodiments disclosed herein may have the advantage that: a storage assembly for storing items delivered from the outside and a door accessible by a user are provided without damaging the building structure. The authentication means and the locking means can be installed on the security panel without damaging the structure of the building.

Embodiments disclosed herein may have the following advantages: the access door exposed to the outside is opened and closed via a door lock hidden in the security panel, and the door is selectively opened and closed via a door lock hidden in the security panel. Since the door lock and the box door lock can be installed in the security panel, the door lock latch and the box door lock latch can protrude in opposite directions and can selectively lock or unlock the access door or the box door.

The lock of the access door may be safer because the lock bolt of the access door may penetrate the door frame to lock or unlock the access door. Since the door lock latch and the door lock latch can operate in the security panel and pass through various slots or holes in the door frame and storage frame and door and case to lock and unlock the door and case. The lock may be operated such that only one door or door can be opened at a time. The door lock and the box lock may be provided at the rear of the security panel, away from the external space and closer to the internal space so as to be hidden from the outside.

Embodiments disclosed herein may provide an intelligent gate having: authentication means for authenticating a user in an external space; and a locking device connected to the authentication device, the locking device being separated from the external space by means of a security panel, thereby preventing or reducing external intrusion. The security assembly may be coupled to the access door or door and the storage compartment or storage assembly and may be difficult to remove, thereby ensuring the security of the interior or residential space. There may be the advantage of installing the security assembly without damaging the building structure.

The security panel may be formed of a metallic material. Since the authentication means may be provided in front of the security panel and the locking means may be provided behind the security panel, the security of the inner space may be ensured. The locking device may be concealed by the security panel when viewed from the outside and may have the advantage that the locking device cannot be accessed from the outside. The cable may be connected to the authentication device through the connection hole of the security panel, and there may be an advantage in that the authentication device and the locking device may be connected in a structure separate from the security panel. At least a portion of the first mounting portion or the first mounting recess and the second mounting portion or the second mounting recess may overlap with respect to the front-rear direction, and may have an advantage of minimizing the front-rear thickness of the safety assembly.

Detailed Description

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, an intelligent entrance passageway according to one embodiment may be configured to be installed in a door opening 15 of an existing structure or building 10 to partition a first space S1 and a second space S2 and allow a passageway between the first space S1 and the second space S2. The first space S1 may be an external space or a common space provided in front of the smart entry channel. The second space S2 may be an internal space or a private (e.g., residential) space disposed behind the intelligent entrance channel. The first space S1 may be a front corridor or community corridor, while the second space S2 may be a residential room or lobby. The first space S1 may be public, accessible to outsiders, and the second space S2 may be a safe private space for residents and their guests. The intelligent portal may also be referred to as an intelligent gate or intelligent gate.

The intelligent portal may include: an access door assembly 100 having an access door 140 that allows access to the second space S2; and a storage assembly 200 having at least one storage container or bin 500 for temporarily storing items such as mail or groceries. Items may be placed in the intelligent portal from the first space S1 and may be retrieved by a user from the second space S2. At least a portion of the storage assembly 200 may be temperature controlled to allow a user to receive items (e.g., perishable food items) that require a certain temperature. In addition, the access door 140 may include a door display 180 (fig. 14) visible from the second space S2. The door display 180 may indicate certain information or allow a user in the second space S2 to interact with a person in the first space S1.

A security assembly 300 may be disposed between the access door assembly 100 and the storage assembly 200 such that the storage assembly 200 may be disposed on a first side (e.g., left side) of the security assembly 300 and the access door assembly 100 may be disposed on a second side (e.g., right side) of the security assembly 300. The security assembly 300 may selectively lock or unlock at least one of the access door assembly 100 or the storage assembly 200. The access door assembly 100, storage assembly 200, and security assembly 300 may fill the door opening of the structure 10.

The security assembly 300 may include an authentication device or interface 700 to authenticate a primary user (e.g., a resident) and open the access door 140 after authentication. The security assembly 300, based on the detection of the authentication device 700, may prevent unauthorized personnel from entering by keeping the access door 140 locked and closed when the user is not authenticated. The transparent cover 340 may protect the authentication device 700 and the security assembly 300 from damage and tampering.

As with access door 140, storage container 500 may be opened and closed based on authorization. For example, the storage container 500 may be opened and closed by using a predetermined authentication code (e.g., a bar code or a digital code). A secondary user (e.g., a carrier) having a predetermined verification code may open the storage container 500 and store and/or access items (e.g., mail) in the opened storage container 500. Alternatively or in addition, the secondary user may retrieve items (e.g., outgoing mail or packages) left in the storage container 500 by the user. Access to storage container 500 may be authenticated differently than access through access door 140 such that a secondary user having a predetermined authentication code for storage container 500 is not necessarily allowed to pass through access door 140. The primary user may gain access to both the access door 140 and the storage container 500 after having obtained authorization.

The access door assembly 100 and storage assembly 200 may be installed in a door opening or other opening 15 formed in the structure 10, and the structure 10 may be a wall, series of walls (e.g., exterior, interior, and dry walls) or a column that forms a building. Alternatively, the structure 10 may be a separate frame that is then installed in a wall, series of walls or column that forms the building.

For ease of description, the door opening or opening 15 will be referred to as a door opening, but the intelligent access channel is not limited to a door opening. For example, the intelligent entryway may be implemented as an intelligent window mounted in a window frame, an intelligent dog door mounted in an existing opening of a dog door, an intelligent gate of a fence, an intelligent garage door, etc. The door opening 15 may communicate with the first space S1 and the second space S2. The storage assembly 200 may be disposed on a first side (e.g., left side) of the door opening 15 and the access door assembly 100 may be disposed on a second side (e.g., right side) of the door opening 15. The security assembly 300 may be disposed between the access gate 100 and the storage assembly 200.

The structure 10 may include a structure having: a rear or inner wall 21 facing the rear surface of the second space S2; and a front or outer wall 22 having a front surface facing the first space S1.

Each of the front wall 22 and the rear wall 21 may be formed as separate left and right walls or columns, which may be connected via an upper wall above the door opening, or alternatively formed as a single wall or column. The front wall 22 and the rear wall 21 may be laterally connected by means of side walls or panels provided in the building, but the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto. The space between the front wall 22 and the rear wall 21 and between the floor 24 and the ceiling 23 (but not including the door opening 15) may be filled with a solid material or formed of a building material (e.g., wood, cement, or brick). The front wall 22 and the rear wall 21 may be integrally formed with the ceiling 23 and/or the floor 24, but the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.

An intermediate structure, wall or post 25 (fig. 7) intermediate the door opening 15 may be provided between the left and right sides of the structure 10 forming the door opening 15. Intermediate structure 25 may be formed from structure 10 or alternatively may be a separate structure such as a plate. The intermediate structure 25 may support the security panel assembly 300, if any.

The front and

rear walls

22, 21 and the ceiling 23 and floor 24 may have the existing construction of the structure 10 to which the intelligent entrance way is to be installed.

The second opening 12 of the door frame 15 may be covered by a first front door 521, a second front door 522, and a third front door 523. The first, second and/or third

front doors

521, 522 and/or 523 may be opened and closed to open a portion of the second opening 12.

The first storage container 500-1 may be used to temporarily store items at ambient temperature, and the second storage container 500-2 may be used to temporarily store items requiring temperature control. A temperature control device (e.g., a thermoelectric module) may be provided in the second storage container 500-2 to heat or cool the items in the second storage space 505-2.

The thermoelectric module may be a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) with peltier devices to provide cooling and/or heating, but embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto. The temperature of the items in the second storage space 505-2 may be controlled by controlling the current applied to the peltier device. For example, the delivery items may be maintained at ambient temperature, or the groceries may be maintained at low temperature.

Alternatively or in addition, the second storage container 500-2 may include a refrigeration cycle having: a compressor for compressing a refrigerant; a condenser for exchanging compressed refrigerant and outside air; an expansion valve for expanding the condensed refrigerant; and an evaporator for exchanging air and the expanded refrigerant such that the second storage container 500-2 functions as a refrigerator or freezer.

When the second storage container 500-2 adjusts the air temperature of the storage space 505 by means of the thermoelectric module and/or the refrigerating cycle, the container body 510 may be provided therein with an insulating material and/or the

container doors

520 and 540 may be attached with an insulating material. A packing or seal may be disposed around the first opening 502 and the second opening 504 to reduce or prevent air leakage or thermal infiltration.

The second and

third trimming slots

225 and 226 may be formed through the second storage frame 222 in the left-right direction to allow the movement of the locking pins 303a and 304 a. The second and

third repair slots

The deadbolt of second interior lock 305 may be configured to protrude into second side opening 504-2 to lock or unlock second side door 542. A recessed locking aperture or recess may be formed in a rear surface or edge of second side door 542 and a deadbolt of second in-store lock 305 may be inserted into the locking aperture to limit movement of second side door 504-2 with respect to second container hinge 550.

Referring to fig. 18 to 22, the right side of the security panel 310 may be coupled with the second door frame 122, and the left side of the security panel 310 may be coupled with the second storage frame 222. The first door lock 301 and the second door lock 302 may be disposed between the security assembly 300 and the second door frame 122, and the first storage lock 303 and the second storage lock 304 may be disposed between the security assembly 300 and the second storage frame 222. The first and second door locks 301 and 302 and the first and second storage locks 303 and 304 cannot be accessed from the first space S1 without removing the first security plate 320.

The authentication device 700 may be provided in front of the security panel 310 to identify a user. To prevent external intrusion, when either one of the first and second

front doors

521 and 522 is opened, the authentication device 700 may lock the first and

second side doors

541 and 542, thereby preventing intrusion into the second space S2 when placing items into the first and/or second storage spaces 505-1 and 505-2.

The cover 340 may be formed to have a larger area than the front of the security panel 310 to cover the edges of the second door frame 122 and the second storage frame 222. The first mounting recess 321 of the first security plate 320 may have a width M1, the authentication device 700 may have a width M2, the cover 340 may have a width M3, and the security assembly 300 may have a width M4 across the front edges of the second door frame 122 and the second storage frame 222.

The first plate 320 and the second plate 330 may be aligned front-to-back upward, but the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto, and may depend on the installation space of the smart entry channel.

Intermediate structure 25 (fig. 7), if any, may be disposed at the rear of second plate 330 and coupled thereto to support second plate 330. However, the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited to placement of intermediate structure 25. For example, the intermediate structure 25 may be omitted, and the second plate 330 may be coupled to at least one of the door frame 120 and the storage frame 220. When there is an intermediate structure 25, the security panel 310 may be coupled to the intermediate structure 25 instead of the door frame 120 and/or the storage frame 220.

The second plate 330 may cover the rear surface of the first plate 310 to close the second mounting recess 322. The first plate 320 and the second plate 330 may be coupled to each other. The first and second door locks 301 and 302 and the first and second storage locks 303 and 304 may be disposed between the first and

second plates

320 and 330 so as to be inaccessible through the bottom or rear. The first plate 320 may block front access to the first and second door locks 301 and 302 and the first and second storage locks 303 and 304, while the second plate 330 may block rear access.

The first panel 320 may be disposed between the second door frame 122 and the second storage frame 222. The width M2 of the authentication device 700 may be greater than the width M1 of the first mounting recess 321 such that the right and left

edges

701 and 702 of the authentication device 700 may protrude from the first mounting recess 321.

As shown in fig. 21, the right edge 701 of the authentication device 700 may be inserted into the first mounting groove 122a formed in the second door frame 122. The left edge 702 of the authentication device 700 may be inserted into the second mounting groove 222a formed in the second storage frame 222. The first and second mounting

grooves

122a and 222a may extend in a vertical direction. Alternatively, the right edge 701 and the left edge 702 may be press fit between the second bezel 122 and the second storage frame 222.

The right edge 701 of the authentication device 700 may be secured to the service cover 128 provided on the second door frame 122. When the service cover 128 is removed, at least a portion of the authentication device 700 may be exposed for repair or replacement.

The first and second mounting

grooves

122a and 222a may face each other. The first mounting groove 122a may surround the right side of the authentication device 700 to support the authentication device 700. The second mounting groove 222a may surround the left side of the authentication device 700 to support the authentication device 700.

The front surface of the authentication device 700 and/or the front surface of the cover 340 may lie on the same plane as the front surfaces of the second bezel 122 and the second storage frame 222. The authentication device 700 may not protrude toward the first space S1 to reduce or prevent tampering.

Referring to fig. 22 to 23, a controller C may be provided between the first plate 320 and the second plate 330 to control the first and second door locks 301 and 302 and the first and second storage locks 303 and 304. As an example, the controller C may be disposed between the second door lock 302 and the first storage lock 303, but the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto. The controller C may be wired to the authentication device 700 or have an optional communication module to communicate with the authentication device 700. Controller C may be accessed by removing second plate 330 from first plate 320 of security assembly 300. The second plate 330 may be removable from the intermediate structure 25 and/or the second door frame 122 and the second storage frame 222 to facilitate access to the controller C and the security assembly 300.

Authentication device 700 may include a housing 710, a display 720, a camera 730, a light emitting member 740, a light sensor 750, a proximity sensor 760, a microphone 770, a speaker 780, and an authentication controller 790.

The housing 710 may be coupled to the first plate 320 and exposed to the first space S1. The housing 710 may be inserted into the first mounting recess 321 of the first security panel 320. The shape of the housing 710 may correspond to the shape or contour of the first mounting recess 321. Although a rectangular shape is illustrated, embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.

The display 720 may be disposed in the housing 710 to face the first space S1. Information (e.g., address, time, indication, greeting, or real-time video stream) may be shown on display 720 and visible from first space S1. A plurality of cameras 730 may be provided to capture images or videos of the first space S1. Camera 730 may include an external call image camera 732, a texture or fingerprint authentication camera 734 for texture or fingerprint authentication, and a face recognition camera 736 for face authentication. The camera 730 may capture images (e.g., a face, fingerprint, bar code, or two-dimensional code), and the authentication controller 790 may have memory to store the captured images, which may be compared to pre-set or predetermined images or information. When the captured image and the stored image or information match or correspond, an authentication or verification signal may be transmitted to the controller C of the security component 300. The door display 180 may have an optional camera, and the display 720 may display video recorded from the door display 180.

As an example, when the face recognition camera 736 captures a user' S face and the captured image matches a predetermined face image or data, the security assembly 300 may control the first door lock 301 and the second door lock 302 to unlock the access door 140 so that the user may enter the second space S2. Alternatively, a two-factor authentication may be required to gain access through the access door 140. For example, after face recognition camera 736 captures a user's face, texture authentication camera 734 may be used to capture a user's fingerprint that must match a predetermined stored fingerprint before first door lock 301 and second door lock 302 will unlock.

When the outside call image camera 732 captures a barcode image or other data that matches the predetermined barcode data, the security component 300 can control the unlocking of a respective one of the first storage lock 302 and the second storage lock 303 so that the respective storage space 505 can be accessed. Once at least one of first storage lock 302 and second storage lock 303 are opened, security component 300 may lock third storage lock 304 and fourth storage lock 305 such that a person in first space S1 cannot see second space S2 via storage space 505. As with access through access door 140, access to storage container 500 may alternatively require two-factor authentication.

The light emitting member 740 may surround the texture authentication camera 734, the face recognition camera 736, the light sensor 750, and the proximity sensor 760. The light emitting member 740 may be a ring-shaped, arc-shaped, square, rectangular, etc. light emitting panel having at least one Light Emitting Diode (LED) to emit light for the camera 730 and the light sensor 750, thereby improving the quality of captured images (e.g., recognition rate of the face recognition camera 736).

An authentication controller 790 may be disposed inside the housing 710 to operate the light emitting member 740 according to a value detected by the light sensor 750. For example, if the light sensor 750 detects a relatively low level of light or detects a decrease in the sensed intensity level, the light emitting member 740 may be controlled to illuminate more light emitting diodes or increase the light emitting intensity. Authentication controller 790 may be wired to controller C or may have an optional communication module to communicate with the communication module of controller C of security assembly 300. The security component 300 may control the first and second door locks 301 and 302 and the first, second, third and fourth storage locks 303, 304, 305 and 306 based on the verification signal transmitted from the authentication device 700 to the controller C. The wired connection may be more secure than wireless communication via a communication module (e.g., wi-Fi or bluetooth module).

One of the authentication controller 700 and the controller C may be omitted, and one controller (C or 790) may control both the security component 300 and the authentication device 700. The controller C or 790 may be provided in the security panel 310 or alternatively in the authentication device 700.

The display 720, the camera 730, the light emitting member 740, the light sensor 750, the proximity sensor 760, the microphone 770, and the speaker 780 may be controlled based on the value detected by the proximity sensor 760. For example, if the proximity sensor 760 senses that a moving object is approaching or that the object is within a predetermined distance or less from the proximity sensor 760, at least one of the camera 730 and the microphone 770 may be turned on or operated in a standby mode.

Referring to fig. 24, the security assembly 300 may be integrally formed with the second door frame 122 and the second storage frame 222. The first plate 320 may be welded or adhered to the second door frame 122 and the second storage frame 222, and a first mounting recess 321 may be formed in a front surface of the first plate 320 to receive the authentication device 700. Such an embodiment may be used when the intermediate structure 25 is omitted or where the structure 10 is otherwise insufficient to support the safety assembly 300.

Referring to fig. 25, the storage assembly 200 may be omitted. The intelligent portal may have mainly: an access door assembly 100 configured to be opened and closed; and a safety assembly 300 disposed adjacent to the structure 10 for controlling the opening and closing of the access door assembly 100. Other details and configurations are mainly the same as those described with reference to fig. 1 to 23, and repetitive description will be omitted. The access door assembly 100 may be hinged to the structure 10 (right side in fig. 25), while the security assembly 300 may be coupled to the structure on the side opposite the hinge (left side in fig. 25) to lock and unlock the access door assembly 100. The handle 400 may be disposed on a side (i.e., left side) of the access door assembly 100 adjacent to the security assembly 300.

The security assembly 300 may include: an authentication apparatus similar to the authentication apparatus 700 described with reference to fig. 1 to 23, for authenticating a user; and a locking device for locking and unlocking the entry door assembly 100 based on a signal received from the authentication device. A controller may be provided in the security assembly 300 to control the authentication means and the locking means.

Referring to fig. 26, the security assembly 300 may be omitted and replaced by an intermediate frame 600, and the arrangement of the access door assembly 100, storage assembly 200, and structure 10 may be substantially the same as described with reference to fig. 1-23. The interior of the intermediate frame 600 may be provided with a plurality of locks (e.g., deadbolts) to lock and unlock the front and/or side doors of the access door assembly 100 and the plurality of storage containers 500 of the storage assembly 200. The lock may be manually locked and unlocked from the second space S2, or alternatively may be controlled based on user input such that the intermediate box 600 is similar to the security assembly 300 of fig. 1-23, except that the authentication device 700 is absent.

Referring to fig. 27, the arrangement of the access door assembly 100, the storage assembly 200, and the security assembly 300 may not be limited. For example, rather than being disposed between the access door assembly 100 and the storage assembly 200, the security assembly 300 may be coupled to the structure 10 on a first (i.e., left) side. One of the access door assembly 100 and the storage assembly 200 may be coupled to the structure 10 on a second side (i.e., the right side) opposite the first side, and the other of the access door assembly 100 and the storage assembly 200 may be disposed in the middle. As shown in fig. 27, storage assembly 200 may be disposed on the right side and coupled with structure 10.

The second door frame 122 may be adjacent to or replaced with the second storage frame 222 described with reference to fig. 1-23. The access door assembly 100 may be hinged to the second door frame 122 on the right side and the security assembly 300 may include an authentication device and a locking device to lock and unlock the door on the left side where the handle 400 is provided. Another locking device may be installed in the second door frame 122 and/or the structure 10 to lock and unlock the storage assembly 200. Alternatively, a manual locking mechanism (e.g., a dead bolt) may be provided in the second space S2 to lock and unlock the storage assembly 200.

In yet another alternative embodiment, the access door assembly 100 may be integrally formed with the storage assembly 200 to form a unit door that may be hinged to the structure 10 on the right side. The right side of the storage assembly 200 may be provided with a first storage frame similar to the first storage frame 121, and the first storage frame may be hinged to the structure 10. The security assembly 300 may lock and unlock the access door assembly 100. When the access door assembly 100 is unlocked, the user may pull or push the handle 400 to rotate the access door assembly 100 with the storage assembly 200. The individual storage containers 500 of the storage assembly 200 may be manually locked via, for example, a dead bolt from the second space S2, or alternatively have a mechanism controlled by user input.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been shown and described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the technical field to which the present disclosure pertains should not depart from the spirit of the present disclosure as claimed in the claims. Various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art, and these modifications should not be construed as being independent of the technical ideas and prospects of the present disclosure. The advantages and features of the present disclosure and methods of accomplishing the same will be apparent with reference to the following detailed description of embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The present embodiment is provided to fully inform the public of the scope, which is limited only by the scope of the claims. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.

It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on" another element or layer, it can be directly on the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being directly on another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed terms.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure.

Spatially relative terms (such as "lower," "upper," and the like) may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element or feature's illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "lower" relative to other elements or features would then be oriented "upper" relative to the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "lower" may encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the singular shall also include the plural unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
