  By the way, when the load put into the storage box is small, it is considered that an empty space is generated inside the storage box. However, as described above, since the conventional delivery box is supposed to receive only one (one time) baggage, even if an empty space is generated in the storage box, the empty space is used. It is impossible to receive new packages. Therefore, it is difficult for conventional delivery boxes to receive and accommodate a plurality of packages.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a main object thereof is to provide a delivery box capable of receiving and accommodating a plurality of packages.

  In order to solve the above problems, a delivery box according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a storage box having a storage space for storing luggage, a slot for loading luggage into the storage space, and opening and closing the slot. In a delivery box including an opening / closing door, a plate-like partition member provided operably between an initial position where the accommodation space is not partitioned and a partition position where the accommodation space is partitioned in the depth direction; and the partition member A moving means for moving from the initial position to the partition position; and when the load is put into the accommodation space with the partition member in the initial position, the entire load is behind the partition position. A baggage position determination unit that determines whether or not the baggage position is located, and when the baggage position determination unit determines that the entire baggage is located on the back side of the partitioning position, the partitioning member is moved to the initial position. , A partition control means for controlling said moving means so as the position moves to the partition position, characterized in that it comprises a.

  According to the present invention, when a load is put into the storage box (storage space) with the partition member in the initial position, whether or not the entire load is positioned behind the partition position of the partition member. Is determined. As a result of the determination, if the entire luggage is located on the back side of the partition position, the partition member is moved from the initial position to the partition position. In this case, the storage space is partitioned in the depth direction by the partition member, and a stored space in which the load is stored is formed on the back side of the partition member in the space, and is closer to the front side (inlet side) than the partition member. An empty space is formed. As a result, the empty space can be used as a storage space for receiving and storing new packages, and as a result, a plurality of packages can be received and stored.

  The delivery box according to a second aspect of the present invention is the delivery box according to the first aspect, wherein the partition member is movable from the initial position to the partition position by gravity, and holding means for holding the partition member at the initial position. The moving means is holding release means for releasing the holding by the holding means to move the partition member to the partition position by gravity.

  According to the present invention, the partition member moves from the initial position to the partition position by gravity. In this case, since it is not necessary to provide a driving device or the like that moves the partition member to the partition position, the configuration can be simplified.

  The delivery box according to a third aspect of the present invention is the home delivery box according to the second aspect, wherein the partition member is disposed in the initial position so as to overlap the inner surface of the storage box in a direction extending in the depth direction. A pivot shaft is provided at the rear end in the depth direction, and the partition member is pivotally supported by the pivot shaft. The partition member is moved from the initial position to the partition position by gravity. It is characterized by rotating.

  According to the present invention, since the partition member is configured to move from the initial position to the partition position by rotating due to gravity, the configuration is further simplified, for example, the partition member is configured by one plate member. be able to. In addition, since the partition member can be rotated by a rotation shaft provided at the back end thereof, when the partition member rotates from the initial position to the partition position, the partition member is moved from the partition position. Also, it will turn from the near side (input port side) toward the partition position. Thereby, when a partition member moves to a partition position, it can avoid that a partition member interferes with a load.

  The delivery box according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the delivery box according to the third aspect, wherein the rotating tip of the partition member is provided with an engaging portion protruding from the rotating tip, and the engaging portion is a coil. By being supported by the partition member via a spring, it can be displaced in the projecting direction, and the storage box has a facing surface facing the rotating tip when the partition member is in the partition position. An engagement recess is provided in which the engagement portion enters and engages, and the rotation of the partition member is restricted by the engagement of the engagement portion with the engagement recess. Is rotated from the initial position and reaches the front of the partition position, hits the opposing surface and is displaced to the rotation base end side of the partition member in the protruding direction, and when the partition member reaches the partition position, Compressed based on the displacement toward the pivot base end Characterized in that it is biased toward the engaging recess by the biasing force of the coil springs.

  According to the present invention, when the partition member rotates from the initial position to the partition position due to gravity, when the partition member reaches the front of the partition position, the engaging portion comes into contact with the opposing surface of the storage box and the rotation base of the partition member is moved. Displace to the end side. In this case, the coil spring is compressed based on the displacement of the engaging portion. When the partition member reaches the partition position, the engaging portion is biased toward the engaging recess by the biasing force based on the compression of the coil spring. Thereby, an engaging part enters into an engaging recessed part, and is engaged with the said engaging recessed part. And the rotation of a partition member is controlled (locked) by the engagement. In this case, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the partition member is rotated and the luggage accommodated on the back side is stolen. Further, in the present invention, since the rotation of the partition member is restricted by using the biasing force of the coil spring, it is possible to prevent theft with a simple configuration as compared with the case of using the drive type lock mechanism. .

  In the third or fourth invention, a delivery box of a fifth invention is a wall-mounted delivery box attached to a wall section that divides the inside or outside of a building or the inside and outside of a site, and the accommodation box is the accommodation space. Is attached to the wall portion with the depth direction thereof being directed in the thickness direction of the wall portion, and the accommodating space is opened on both sides of the depth direction, and one of the opened openings is the wall portion. And the other side is opened toward the inside of the wall portion and is an outlet for taking out a load from the accommodating space, and the partition member is in the initial position, Of the inner surface of the storage box, it is arranged so as to overlap the upper side surface that is the upper side of the storage space, and can be rotated by the rotation shaft provided at the end on the back side that is the outlet side. The partition is supported by a shaft. The range of rotation, in addition to said partition position and the initial position, characterized in that the have the partition position contains the position of the rear side.

  Some home delivery boxes with a wall are provided with an outlet for taking out the luggage from the accommodation space in addition to the entrance of the luggage into the accommodation space. In such a delivery box, the inlet and the outlet are opened at both ends in the depth direction of the accommodation space. In the present invention, the third invention is applied to such a delivery box, and further, in addition to the initial position and the partition position, the position behind the partition position (the outlet side) is included in the rotation range of the partition member. .

  According to such a configuration, when taking out the luggage accommodated on the front side (inlet side) from the partition member in the accommodation space, the partition member can be rotated to the back side and taken out. For example, when the rotation range of the partition member is only the range between the initial position and the partition position, the partition member is rotated to the near side (that is, the initial position side) to take out the luggage, In that case, there is a possibility that a situation may occur in which the partition member hits the load and the partition member cannot be rotated. In that respect, according to the above configuration, it is possible to avoid the partition member from interfering with the load when the partition member is rotated, and thus it is possible to suitably take out the load from the outlet.

  A delivery box according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the delivery box according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, further comprising open / close detection means for detecting an open / closed state of the open / close door, wherein the partition control means is configured to detect the open / close door by the open / close detection means. When it is detected that is closed, the partition member is moved from the initial position to the partition position by the moving means.

  According to the present invention, when the parcel is put into the accommodation space by the delivery company or the like and then the door is closed, the partition member is moved from the initial position to the partition position. In this case, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the partition member moves to the partition position when the luggage is put into the accommodation space and the hand is caught by the partition member.

  The delivery box according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the delivery box according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, wherein when the parcel is placed in the accommodation space with the partition member in the initial position, the parcel is stored in the accommodation space. A determination unit that determines whether or not the bag has been inserted so as to reach the back of the storage space, and when the load determination unit determines that the baggage has not been inserted so as to reach the back of the accommodation space. And a notifying control means for notifying by the notifying means.

  By the way, when a parcel is put into the front side (input port side) of the accommodation space by a delivery company or the like, it is conceivable that the parcel is arranged so as to overlap the partition position in the accommodation space. In that case, if the luggage is put in the back side of the storage space, the partition member may be moved to the partition position to partition the storage space, but the situation that the storage cannot be performed may occur. become.

  Therefore, in the present invention, in view of this point, when the luggage is not inserted so as to reach the inner part of the accommodation space, the fact is notified by the notification means. In this case, when the luggage is not put in the back of the accommodation space, the courier is notified to that effect, so that the courier can be urged to put the luggage into the accommodation space. This makes it possible to reliably obtain the above-described effect of accommodating a plurality of loads.

  A rear door 13 is attached to the back surface of the storage box 11. The rear door 13 is a laterally open door, and the outlet 24 is opened and closed by opening and closing the door 13. Although illustration is omitted, the rear door 13 is provided with a locking device for locking and unlocking the rear door 13. The locking device is not limited to an electric lock, but may be a manual type that performs locking and unlocking manually.

  Next, the internal configuration of the storage box 11 will be described.

  Inside the storage box 11 (that is, the storage space 19), a partition plate 27 for partitioning the storage space 19 in the depth direction is provided. The partition plate 27 is made of a rectangular plate material, and a plurality (specifically, two) of the partition plates 27 are arranged at a predetermined interval in the depth direction of the accommodation space 19. The partition plate 27 corresponds to a partition member.

  The partition plate 27 is arranged vertically in the accommodation space 19 to partition the space 19 in the depth direction (see the one-dot chain line in FIG. 1). The partition plate 27 has a width (length in the left-right direction) that is substantially the same as the width of the accommodation space 19 and a height (length in the vertical direction) that is substantially the same as the height of the accommodation space 19. The partition plate 27 has a rotation shaft 28 at its upper end. The rotation shaft 28 extends in the width direction of the partition plate 27, and the partition plate 27 is rotatably attached to the storage box 11 (specifically, each side plate portion 17) via the rotation shaft 28.

  The partition plate 27 is rotated about the rotation shaft 28 to partition the housing space 19 in the depth direction (see the one-dot chain line in FIG. 1), and 90 degrees from the partition position to the front side (front side). It can be displaced between the moved front position (see the solid line in FIG. 1) and the rear position (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1) rotated 90 ° from the partition position to the rear side (back side). When the partition plate 27 is in the partition position, as described above, the partition plate 27 is vertically oriented and the accommodation space 19 is partitioned in the depth direction. On the other hand, when the partition plate 27 is located at the front position or the rear position, the partition plate 27 faces sideways and the accommodation space 19 is not partitioned in the depth direction. The partition plate 27 is disposed at the front position in the initial state. Therefore, in the following, the front position of the partition plate 27 is also referred to as “initial position”.

  When each partition plate 27 is at the partition position, the accommodation space 19 is partitioned into a plurality of (specifically, three) space portions by the partition plates 27. All of these space portions have the same size, in other words, all have the same depth dimension. That is, each partition plate 27 is arranged at a position that equally divides the accommodation space 19 in the depth direction (specifically, equally divided into three) when in the partition position. In the following description, among the partition plates 27, among the partition plates 27, A is assigned to the code of the rear partition plate 27 and B is assigned to the code of the front partition plate 27.

  The top plate portion 15 of the storage box 11 is provided with a holding member 31 that holds the partition plate 27 at the front position (initial position). The holding member 31 is provided for each of the partition plates 27A and 27B. Hereinafter, the configuration around the holding member 31 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view showing the configuration around the holding member 31.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the holding member 31 is attached on the lower surface of the top plate portion 15 (above the front end) above the rotating front end portion (front end portion) of the partition plate 27. The holding member 31 is formed by bending a steel plate, and includes a fixed plate portion 31a fixed to the lower surface of the top plate portion 15, and a counter plate portion 31b facing the top plate portion 15 with a predetermined gap therebetween. . The counter plate portion 31b is arranged behind the fixed plate portion 31a and is connected to the fixed plate portion 31a via a short vertical plate portion 31c. In addition, a circular hole 32 penetrating in the thickness direction is formed in the counter plate portion 31b. The holding member 31 corresponds to a holding unit.

  The partition plate 27 is disposed at the front position with the plate surface 27a facing the top plate portion 15 in the vertical direction (so as to overlap vertically). A rubber or resin bush 34 is attached to the plate surface 27 a of the partition plate 27. The bush 34 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and is attached to the rotating front end portion of the partition plate 27.

  A flange-like engaging portion 34 a is provided at the tip of the bush 34. The bush 34 is inserted into the hole 32 of the holding member 31 (opposing plate portion 31b) from below, and the engaging portion 34a is engaged with the periphery of the hole 32 of the partition plate 27 in the inserted state. And by the engagement, the partition plate 27 is hold | maintained at the holding member 31, and is hold | maintained by the front position by extension.

  The top plate portion 15 of the storage box 11 is further provided with a holding member 35 that holds the partition plate 27 at the rear position (see FIG. 1). The holding member 35 has a configuration similar to that of the above-described holding member 31, and specifically has a configuration in which the holding member 31 is inverted in the depth direction of the accommodation space 19. The holding member 35 is attached to the lower surface of the top plate portion 15 above the rotating front end portion (rear end portion) of the partition plate 27 (at the rear position).

  At the rear position, the partition plate 27 is arranged with its plate surface 27b (the plate surface opposite to the plate surface 27a) facing the top plate portion 15 in the vertical direction (so as to overlap vertically). A bush 39 (see FIG. 2) is attached to the plate surface 27 b of the partition plate 27, and the partition plate 27 is detachably held by the holding member 35 by engaging the bush 39 with the holding member 35. It is like that.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the top plate portion 15 is provided with a holding release device 36 for releasing the holding state of the partition plate 27 held at the front position by the holding member 31. The holding release device 36 is provided for each of the partition plates 27A and 27B. In this case, each of these holding release devices 36 corresponds to holding release means. In the following, according to circumstances, A is attached to the reference numeral of the holding release device 36 provided for the partition plate 27A, and B is attached to the reference numeral of the holding release device 36 provided for the partition plate 27B ( (See FIG. 7).

  The holding release device 36 includes a main body portion 36a (driving portion) having a driving source such as a motor, and a pin portion 36b operated by driving the main body portion 36a. The main body portion 36 a is accommodated in a concave portion 37 having an upward opening formed in the top plate portion 15. The top plate portion 15 is formed with a hole portion 38 that allows the concave portion 37 to communicate with the accommodation space 19, and the pin portion 36 b is inserted into the hole portion 38. That is, the pin portion 36b is inserted through the hole portion 38 so as to protrude downward from the main body portion 36a.

  The pin portion 36b is positioned above the partition plate 27 held by the holding member 31 at the tip end (lower end) during normal operation (when not driven). When the main body portion 36a is driven, the pin portion 36b is displaced downward (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2), and pushes the partition plate 27 downward. As a result, the engagement of the bush 34 (engaging portion 34a) with the holding member 31 is released, and as a result, the holding state of the partition plate 27 by the holding member 31 is released. And if the holding state of the partition plate 27 is cancelled | released, the partition plate 27 will rotate toward a partition position from the front position with dead weight (refer the dashed-two dotted line of FIG. 2).

  The partition plate 27 is provided with a lock mechanism that restricts the rotation of the partition plate 27 when the partition plate 27 is in the partition position. Hereinafter, such a locking mechanism will be described with reference to FIG. 3A and 3B are longitudinal sectional views showing the configuration of the lock mechanism. FIG. 3A shows the locked state of the partition plate 27, and FIG. 3B shows the unlocked state.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the partition plate 27 is formed with a hole 41 that opens at a tip surface 27c that is the tip of rotation. The hole 41 is a bottomed hole extending from the distal end surface 27 c toward the rotation base end side (rotation shaft 28 side) of the partition plate 27. The hole 41 is formed at the center in the width direction of the partition plate 27 and at the center in the thickness direction of the partition plate 27.

  The partition plate 27 is provided with an engagement pin 42 in a state of being inserted into the hole 41 described above. The engaging pin 42 is made of a metal bar (for example, a round bar), and is supported by a coil spring 43 attached to the bottom surface of the hole 41. The coil spring 43 is disposed between the deep bottom surface and the engagement pin 42 in the hole 41, one end of which is attached to the deep bottom surface, and the engagement pin 42 is attached to the other end. The engagement pin 42 is supported by the coil spring 43, and a part of the engagement pin 42 protrudes from the front end surface 27 c of the partition plate 27. In this case, the engagement pin 42 can be displaced in the protruding direction by expansion and contraction of the coil spring 43. The engagement pin 42 corresponds to the engagement portion.

  A circular engagement recess 45 is formed on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 16 of the storage box 11. When the partition plate 27 is in the partition position, the engagement pin 42 enters and engages with the engagement recess 45. The engagement restricts the rotation of the partition plate 27, specifically, the rotation of the partition plate 27 in the front-rear direction. Thereby, when the partition plate 27 exists in a partition position, the partition plate 27 will be in a locked state (rotation restricted state). Note that the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 16 corresponds to a facing surface that faces the rotating tip (tip surface 27c) of the partition plate 27 when the partition plate 27 is in the partition position.

  The partition plate 27 automatically shifts to the locked state by rotating from the front position to the partition position. Hereinafter, a state when the partition plate 27 is shifted to the locked state will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a state when the partition plate 27 is shifted to the locked state.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the partition plate 27 rotates from the front position to the partition position, when the partition plate 27 reaches the front of the partition position, the tip of the engagement pin 42 hits the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 16, and the engagement pin 42 is pushed to the rotation base end side of the partition plate 27 (see the one-dot chain line in FIG. 4). Thereby, the engaging pin 42 is displaced toward the rotation base end side, and the coil spring 43 is compressed based on the displacement.

  When the partition plate 27 reaches the partition position, the engagement pin 42 is positioned immediately above the engagement recess 45. Then, the engagement pin 42 is urged toward the engagement recess 45 by the urging force of the coil spring 43 in a compressed state, and as a result, the engagement pin 42 enters the engagement recess 45 (see the solid line in FIG. 4). ). Thereby, the engagement pin 42 is engaged with the engagement recess 45, and the partition plate 27 is locked.

  The partition plate 27 is provided with a release operation portion for releasing the locked state (engagement state of the engagement pin 42 with respect to the engagement recess 45). Hereinafter, the configuration related to the release operation unit will be described with reference to FIG. 5 in addition to FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the partition plate 27 in a locked state as viewed from the rear.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the partition plate 27 is provided with an operation pin 47 as a release operation unit. The operation pin 47 is made of a metal bar (for example, a round bar). One end of the operation pin 47 is fixed to the engagement pin 42, and the other end extends to the back side (plate surface 27 b side) of the partition plate 27. . The operation pin 47 is inserted into an insertion hole 48 formed in the partition plate 27, and a part of the operation pin 47 projects rearward from the partition plate 27 (plate surface 27b).

  The insertion hole 48 extends from the hole 41 to the plate surface 27 b in the partition plate 27. The insertion hole 48 is a long hole that is long in the longitudinal direction of the engagement pin 42, in other words, in the displacement direction of the engagement pin 42. In this case, the operation pin 47 can be operated along the displacement direction (vertical direction) within a range where the insertion hole 48 is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the partition plate 27 is in the locked state, the operation pin 47 is positioned below the insertion hole 48. When the operation pin 47 is operated upward from this locked state, the engagement pin 42 moves upward and comes out of the engagement recess 45 as shown in FIG. As a result, the engagement of the engagement pin 42 with respect to the engagement recess 45 is released, and consequently the locked state of the partition plate 27 is released.

  By the way, in the home delivery box 10, when the parcel 27 is placed in the storage box 11 with the partition plate 27 in the front position (initial position), the parcel (the whole) is behind the partition position of the partition plate 27. Control system for determining whether or not it is located on the side, and automatically moving the partition plate 27 from the front position to the partition position when the entire baggage is located behind the partition position as a result of the determination Is provided. In the following, the configuration of this control system will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the storage box 11 is provided with a plurality (specifically, three) of luggage sensors 51. These baggage sensors 51 detect whether or not a baggage exists with a predetermined range in the accommodation space 19 as a detection range. The luggage sensor 51 is composed of, for example, an infrared sensor, and is embedded in the bottom plate portion 16 of the storage box 11. The luggage sensors 51 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the depth direction of the accommodation space 19. In the following description, the first luggage sensors are sequentially arranged from the rear side (rear side) to the front side (front side). 51a, the second load sensor 51b, and the third load sensor 51c.

  These baggage sensors 51 a to 51 c have different baggage detection ranges in the accommodation space 19. FIG. 6 shows the detection ranges of the luggage sensors 51a to 51c. As shown in FIG. 6, the first baggage sensor 51 a detects the presence or absence of a baggage using the innermost part (the innermost part) in the accommodation space 19 as a detection range Sa.

  The second luggage sensor 51b detects the presence or absence of luggage using the partition position of the partition plate 27A in the accommodation space 19 as a detection range. Further, when the partition plate 27A is at the partition position, the second baggage sensor 51b detects the presence / absence of the baggage by using the innermost part (the deepest part) in the space on the near side partitioned by the partition plate 27A as a detection range. To do. Therefore, each detection range is included in the detection range Sb by the second luggage sensor 51b.

  The third luggage sensor 51c detects the presence or absence of luggage using the partition position of the partition plate 27B in the accommodation space 19 as a detection range. Furthermore, when the partition plate 27B is in the partition position, the third baggage sensor 51c detects the presence or absence of the baggage using the entire space on the near side partitioned by the partition plate 27B as a detection range. Accordingly, the detection ranges Sc by the third luggage sensor 51c include the detection ranges described above.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 1, the front door 12 is provided with an open / close sensor 52 as open / close detection means. The open / close sensor 52 is a sensor that detects the open / closed state of the front door 12. The front door 12 is provided with a notification device 53 as notification means. The notification device 53 includes a sound output device such as a speaker. The notification device 53 performs various notifications regarding the loading of the luggage into the storage box 11 to the delivery company by outputting a sound.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the control system will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an electrical configuration of the control system.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in this control system, the controller 50 is mainly configured by a known microcomputer having a CPU and the like. The controller 50 is attached to the storage box 11, for example. The controller 50 corresponds to partition control means and notification control means.

  The luggage sensors 51 a to 51 c and the open / close sensor 52 are connected to the input side of the controller 50. The controller 50 receives detection results from the sensors 51a to 51c and 52 sequentially.

  On the output side of the controller 50, the locking device 25, the holding release devices 36A and 36B, and the notification device 53 are connected. The controller 50 controls these devices 25, 36 </ b> A, 36 </ b> B, 53 based on the detection results from the sensors 51 a to 51 c, 52.

  Next, partition control processing executed by the controller 50 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the partition control processing. This process is started with a start operation by an operation unit (not shown) as a trigger, and is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle until an end operation by the operation unit is performed. When starting this control process, the partition plates 27A and 27B are held in advance by the holding member 31 at the front position (initial position).

  In the following description, FIG. 9 will be referred to as appropriate in addition to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a state in which luggage is accommodated in the accommodation space 19.

  As shown in FIG. 8, first, in step S11, based on the detection result from the open / close sensor 52, it is determined whether or not the front door 12 is in an open state. That is, here, it is determined whether or not the front door 12 is opened to allow the delivery company to put the luggage into the storage box 11 (the storage space 19). If the front door 12 is in the open state, the process proceeds to step S12. If the front door 12 is in the closed state, the process is terminated.

  In step S12, based on the detection result from the open / close sensor 52, it is determined whether or not the front door 12 is in a closed state. That is, here, it is determined whether or not the front door 12 is closed after the parcel delivery company has finished loading the luggage into the accommodation space 19. If the front door 12 is closed, the process proceeds to step S13. If the front door 12 is not closed, step S12 is repeated until the front door 12 is closed.

  In step S13, it is determined whether or not the accommodation space 19 is partitioned by at least one of the partition plates 27A and 27B. In other words, it is determined whether or not at least one of the partition plates 27A and 27B is in the partition position. This determination is made based on whether or not release processing (that is, partitioning processing in step S17 or step S20 described later) has already been performed by at least one of the holding release devices 36A and 36B.

  If the accommodation space 19 is not partitioned by any of the partition plates 27A and 27B, that is, if the accommodation space 19 is in a non-partitioned state, the process proceeds to step S14. In this case, when the accommodation space 19 is in a non-partitioned state, the luggage is put into the accommodation space 19. Below, each process after step S14 is demonstrated based on this condition.

  In step S14, it is determined whether or not a load is detected by the first load sensor 51a. That is, here, it is determined whether or not the luggage loaded in the accommodation space 19 is loaded so as to reach the inner part of the space 19. If the luggage has not been inserted so as to reach the inner part of the accommodation space 19, in other words, if the luggage has been entered in front of the accommodation space 19, the determination is denied and the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S21, notification processing is performed. In the notification process, by outputting a notification signal to the notification device 53, the device 53 notifies that the baggage has not been inserted up to the back of the accommodation space 19. In this case, for example, the notification is made by outputting a sound such as “the baggage is not fully inserted” or “please insert the baggage”. As a result, when the luggage does not enter the interior of the accommodation space 19, it can be notified to the delivery company. Therefore, it is possible to urge the delivery company to put the baggage all the way into the accommodation space 19.

  In step S14, if a load is detected by the first load sensor 51a, that is, if the load is inserted to the back of the accommodation space 19, the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, it is determined whether or not a package is detected by the second package sensor 51b. That is, in this step, it is determined whether or not the luggage put into the accommodation space 19 is arranged so as to overlap the partition position of the partition plate 27A. In other words, in this step, it is determined whether or not the entire luggage put into the accommodation space 19 is located on the back side of the partition position of the partition plate 27A. If the entire package is located behind the partition position, the determination at this step is denied and the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S19, it is determined whether or not the accommodation space 19 is in a first partition state (see FIG. 9A) described later. Here, since the accommodation space 19 is in a non-partitioned state (since a negative determination is made in step S13), the determination is negative and the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S20, a first partition process is performed. In the first partitioning process, by outputting a release signal to the holding release device 36A, the device 36A releases the holding of the partition plate 27A by the holding member 31. Thereby, the partition plate 27A is rotated to the partition position by its own weight, and is locked at the partition position. As a result, the accommodation space 19 is partitioned in the depth direction by the partition plate 27A, that is, the first partition state (see FIG. 9A). In addition, the 1st partition state means the state by which the accommodation space 19 was partitioned off only by the partition plate 27A of the back | inner side among each partition plate 27A, 27B.

  In step S15, if the load put into the accommodation space 19 overlaps the partition position of the partition plate 27A, that is, if the entire load is not located on the back side of the partition position, the process proceeds to step S16. . In step S16, it is determined whether or not a package is detected by the third package sensor 51c. That is, in this step, it is determined whether or not the luggage put into the accommodation space 19 is arranged so as to overlap the partition position of the partition plate 27B. In other words, in this step, it is determined whether or not the entire luggage put into the accommodation space 19 is located behind the partitioning position of the partition plate 27B. If the entire package is located behind the partitioning position, the determination at this step is denied and the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, a second partition process is performed. In the second partitioning process, a release signal is output to the holding release device 36B, so that the device 36B releases the holding of the partition plate 27B by the holding member 31. Thereby, the partition plate 27B is rotated to the partition position by its own weight, and is locked at the partition position. As a result, the accommodation space 19 is partitioned in the depth direction by the partition plate 27B, that is, the second partition state (see FIG. 9B). The second partitioned state refers to a state in which the accommodation space 19 is partitioned by at least the front partition plate 27B.

  In step S16, when the luggage put into the accommodation space 19 overlaps the partition position of the partition plate 27B, that is, when the entire luggage is not located in the back side of the partition position (see FIG. 9C). ), The process proceeds to step S23, and the locking process is performed. In the locking process, the front door 12 is locked by outputting a locking signal to the locking device 25.

  As described above, when the storage space 19 is in a non-partitioned state and a load is loaded into the space 19, the storage space 19 is in the first partitioned state (FIG. 9) according to the size of the loaded load. (A)) or the second partition state (see FIG. 9B), or the front door 12 is locked in the non-partition state (see FIG. 9C). Here, when the storage space 19 is in the first partition state or the second partition state, the storage space 19 is partitioned in the depth direction by the partition plate 27A or the partition plate 27B, and is deeper than the partition plates 27A and 27B. An accommodated space S1 in which luggage is accommodated is formed on the side, and an empty space S2 is formed on the front side of the partition plates 27A and 27B. Therefore, the empty space S2 can be used as a storage space for receiving and storing new luggage.

  Subsequently, when the storage space 19 is in the first partition state (the state shown in FIG. 9A) or the second partition state (the state shown in FIG. 9B), the empty space S2 of the storage space 19 A process flow when a new package is inserted will be described.

  When the storage space 19 is in the first partition state or the second partition state, if a new parcel is put into the empty space S2 by the delivery company, an affirmative determination is made in each of steps S11 to S13 described above, and then step S22. Proceed to In step S22, it is determined whether the storage space 19 is in the first partition state or the second partition state. This determination is made based on which holding release device 36A, 36B has already performed the release process (that is, the partitioning process in step S17 or step S20 described later).

  When the accommodation space 19 is in the first partitioning state, the process proceeds to step S15, and it is determined whether or not the luggage is detected by the second luggage sensor 51b. That is, here, it is determined whether or not a new baggage has been inserted so as to reach the back of the empty space S2. If a new baggage has not been inserted so as to reach the inner part of the empty space S2, in other words, if a new baggage has been inserted in front of the empty space S2, the determination is denied and the process proceeds to step S19. .

  Here, since the accommodation space 19 is in the first partitioning state, the determination is affirmed in step S19, and then the process proceeds to step S21. In step S21, notification processing is performed. As a result, when the package does not enter the vacant space S2, it can be notified to the delivery company. Therefore, it is possible to urge the delivery company to put the package into the empty space S2.

  In the previous step S15, if the baggage is detected by the second baggage sensor 51b, that is, if the baggage has been inserted to the back of the empty space S2, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S16, it is determined whether or not a package is detected by the third package sensor 51c. That is, in this step, it is determined whether or not the luggage put into the empty space S2 is arranged so as to overlap the partition position of the partition plate 27B. In other words, in this step, it is determined whether or not the entire luggage put into the empty space S2 is located on the far side from the partition position of the partition plate 27B. If the entire package is located behind the partitioning position, the determination is denied and the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, a second partition process is performed. Thereby, the partition plate 27B is rotated to the partition position by its own weight, and is locked at the partition position. As a result, the accommodation space 19 (empty space S2) is partitioned in the depth direction by the partition plate 27B to be in the second partition state (see FIG. 9D).

  In step S16, when the load put into the empty space S2 overlaps with the partition position of the partition plate 27B, that is, when the entire load is not located in the back side of the partition position (see FIG. 9E). ), The process proceeds to step S23, and the locking process is performed. Thereby, the front door 12 is locked.

  As described above, when the accommodation space 19 is in the second partition state (the state shown in FIG. 9D), the empty space S2 is partitioned by the partition plate 27B, and the partition plate 27B in the space S2 In addition, a housed space S3 in which luggage is housed is formed on the back side, and a new empty space S4 is formed on the front side of the partition plate 27B. Therefore, the empty space S4 can be used as a storage space for receiving and storing new luggage.

  Here, in the second partitioning state (the state shown in FIG. 9 (d)), when a new load is inserted into the empty space S4, an affirmative determination is made in each of the above-described steps S11 to S13, and the process proceeds to step S22. Then, a negative determination is made in step S22, and the process proceeds to step S16.

  In step S16, it is determined whether or not a package is detected by the third package sensor 51c. That is, here, it is determined whether or not there is a load in the empty space S4. If there is a load in the empty space S4, the process proceeds to step S23, and a locking process is performed. Thereby, the front door 12 is locked. On the other hand, when there is no luggage in the empty space S4, this process is terminated.

  Next, a procedure for taking out the luggage accommodated in the accommodation space 19 from the outlet 24 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining such a procedure.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the accommodation space 19 accommodates three loads N1 to N3. In this case, the accommodating space 19 is partitioned into a plurality (specifically, three) of space portions 19a to 19c by the partition plates 27A and 27B, and each of the partitioned space portions 19a to 19c has a luggage N1 to N1, respectively. N3 is housed. Specifically, among the space portions 19a to 19c, the luggage N1 is accommodated in the inner space 19a, the luggage N2 is accommodated in the middle space 19b, and the luggage N3 is accommodated in the near space 19c. Has been.

  When taking out these loads N1 to N3 from the accommodation space 19, first, as shown in FIG. 10B, the rear door 13 is opened and the takeout port 24 is opened. Then, from the opened outlet 24, the luggage N1 accommodated in the space 19a is first taken out.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10C, the partition plate 27A is rotated from the partition position to the rear position. At this time, the locked state of the partition plate 27A is released by operating the operation pin 47, and the partition plate 27A is rotated to the rear position in the released state (see FIG. 3 and the like). Then, the partition plate 27A is held by the holding member 35 (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1). Thereafter, the luggage N2 accommodated in the space 19b is taken out through the outlet 24.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10 (d), like the partition plate 27 </ b> A, the partition plate 27 </ b> B is rotated from the partition position to the rear position and is held by the holding member 35. Thereafter, the luggage N3 accommodated in the space 19c is taken out through the outlet 24. As a result, the loads N1 to N3 are taken out from the storage space 19.

  After the packages N1 to N3 are taken out, the partition plates 27A and 27B are rotated (returned) to the front position (initial position) and held by the holding member 31. Thereafter, the rear door 13 is closed and the rear door 13 is locked.

  As mentioned above, according to the structure of this embodiment explained in full detail, the following outstanding effects are acquired.

  When the parcel plate 27 is in the front position (initial position) and the parcel is put into the accommodation space 19, it is determined whether or not the parcel plate 27 is located behind the parcel position of the parcel plate 27. As a result of the determination, when the entire package is located behind the partition position, the partition plate 27 is controlled to move from the front position to the partition position. In this case, the storage space 19 is partitioned in the depth direction by the partition plate 27, and a stored space S <b> 1 (S <b> 3) in which the luggage is stored behind the partition plate 27 in the space 19 is formed. Also, an empty space S2 (S4) is formed on the front side (input port 23 side). As a result, the empty space S2 (S4) can be used as a storage space for receiving and storing new packages, and as a result, a plurality of packages can be received and stored.

  When the opening / closing sensor 52 detects that the front door 12 is closed, the partition plate 27 is moved from the front position to the partition position. In this case, when the parcel delivery company puts the luggage into the accommodation space 19 through the insertion port 23 and then closes the front door 12, the partition plate 27 is moved to the partition position. For this reason, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the partition plate 27 moves to the partition position when the luggage is put into the accommodation space 19 and the hand is caught by the partition plate 27.

  By the way, when a parcel is put into the front side of the accommodation space 19 (on the insertion port 23 side) by the delivery company, the parcel may be arranged so as to overlap with the partition position in the accommodation space 19. In that case, if the luggage is put in the back side of the storage space 19, the partition plate 27 can be moved to the partition position to partition the storage space 19, but cannot be partitioned. Will occur.

  Therefore, in the above embodiment, in view of this point, it is determined whether or not the load has been inserted so as to reach the inner part of the accommodation space 19, and as a result of the determination, the load has been input so as to reach the inner part. If not, the notification device 53 notifies the delivery company of that fact. In this case, it is possible to prompt the delivery company to put the baggage all the way into the accommodation space 19, so that the above-described effect of accommodating a plurality of baggage can be reliably obtained.

  By releasing the holding of the partition plate 27 by the holding member 31 with the holding release device 36, the partition plate 27 is moved from the front position to the partition position by gravity. In this case, since it is not necessary to provide a drive device or the like for moving the partition plate 27 to the partition position, the configuration can be simplified.

  The partition plate 27 is pivotally supported by the rotation shaft 28 so that the partition plate 27 is rotated from the front position to the partition position by gravity. In this case, the partition plate 27 (partition member) can be formed of a single plate material, and the configuration can be further simplified.

  Further, the partition plate 27 is disposed so as to overlap the lower surface (corresponding to the upper side surface) of the top plate portion 15 of the storage box 11 at the front position (initial position), and the rear side end portion of the partition plate 27 at the front position. A rotating shaft 28 is provided. In this case, when the partition plate 27 is rotated from the front position to the partition position, the partition plate 27 is rotated from the front side (input port 23 side) toward the partition position from the partition position. When the partition plate 27 moves to the partition position, the partition plate 27 can be prevented from interfering with the load.

  The partition plate 27 is provided with a lock mechanism that restricts the rotation of the partition plate 27 when the partition plate 27 is in the partition position. In this case, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the partition plate 27 is rotated and the luggage accommodated on the back side is stolen.

  Specifically, as the locking mechanism, an engagement pin 42 is attached to the rotating front end portion of the partition plate 27 via a coil spring 43, and the engagement pin 42 is protruded from the front end surface 27c of the partition plate 27. The configuration provided in the state was adopted. According to this configuration, when the partition plate 27 reaches the partition position by rotating from the front position, the engagement pin 42 enters the engagement recess 45 by the biasing force of the coil spring 43 and engages with the engagement recess 45. Combined. As a result, the partition plate 27 is locked. In such a configuration, the urging force of the coil spring 43 is used to restrict the rotation of the partition plate 27. Therefore, compared to the case where a drive-type lock mechanism is used, it is possible to prevent theft with a simple configuration. .

  In addition to the front position (initial position) and the partition position, the rear position of the rear side (rear side) from the partition position is included in the rotation range of the partition plate 27. In this case, when taking out the baggage accommodated on the front side (input port 23 side) of the accommodation space 19 from the partition plate 27, the partition plate 27 can be rotated to the back side to take out the baggage. It becomes. For this reason, it is possible to suitably take out the luggage while avoiding the partition plate 27 from interfering with the luggage.

  Further, since the holding member 35 for holding the partition plate 27 at the rear position is provided, the luggage can be taken out with the partition plate 27 held by the holding member 35. As a result, it is possible to easily take out the baggage as compared with the case of taking out the baggage while supporting the partition plate 27 with the hand at the rear position.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

  (1) In the above embodiment, the partition plate 27 is disposed so as to overlap the lower surface of the top plate portion 15 at the front position (initial position). However, by changing this, the partition plate 27 is placed on the side plate portion 17 at the initial position. You may arrange | position so that it may overlap with an inner surface. In this case, a pivot shaft 28 extending vertically is provided at the rear side end portion (rear end portion) of the partition plate 27, and the partition plate 27 is moved from the initial position to the partition position by pivoting about the pivot shaft 28. It is possible to move it. In this case, it is conceivable to provide a drive unit such as a motor that rotationally drives the partition plate 27 and to move the partition plate 27 from the initial position to the partition position by driving the drive unit. In this case, the driving unit corresponds to the moving unit.

  (2) In the above embodiment, the partition plate 27 as the partition member is configured by one plate material, but the configuration of the partition member is not necessarily limited to such a configuration. For example, the partition member may be constituted by a plurality of (for example, two) plate members connected so as to be foldable. In this case, for example, it is conceivable that the partition member is in a folded state in which a plurality of plate members overlap each other at the initial position, and a plurality of plate members are arranged in an expanded state at the partition position. Even in such a configuration, when the partition member is in the initial position, the partition member can be moved from the initial position to the partition position by its own weight by arranging the partition member so as to overlap the lower surface of the top plate portion 15. It becomes possible.

  (3) Although the two partition plates 27 are provided in the storage box 11 in the above embodiment, this may be changed to provide one or three or more partition plates 27. Each partition plate 27 is not necessarily arranged at a position that equally divides the accommodation space 19 in the depth direction, and may be arranged at a position that equally divides the accommodation space 19 in the depth direction.

  (4) In the above embodiment, a mechanism using the coil spring 43 is employed as the lock mechanism for locking the partition plate 27 at the partition position, but this may be changed. For example, the partition plate 27 is provided with a drive device such as a motor that drives the engaging pin 42 in the protruding direction, and a position sensor that detects that the partition plate 27 has reached the partition position, and the partition plate 27 is at the partition position. A configuration in which the controller 50 drives the drive device and displaces the engagement pin 42 toward the engagement recess 45 when the position sensor detects that the position has been reached is conceivable. Also in this case, when the partition plate 27 is moved to the partition position, the engagement pin 42 is engaged with the engagement recess 45 and the partition plate 27 is locked. Can be achieved.

  (5) In the above embodiment, based on the detection result of the luggage sensor 51, it is determined whether or not the entire luggage put into the accommodation space 19 is located on the back side of the partition position of the partition plate 27. Such a determination does not necessarily have to be performed using the package sensor 51. For example, an imaging device such as a camera that photographs the luggage put in the accommodation space 19 may be provided inside the accommodation box 11, and the above determination may be performed based on imaging data captured by the imaging device.

  (6) In the above embodiment, based on the detection result of the baggage sensor 51a, it is determined whether or not the baggage loaded into the accommodation space 19 has been loaded so as to reach the inner part of the space 19. It is not always necessary to use the luggage sensor 51a. For example, an imaging device such as a camera that photographs the luggage put in the accommodation space 19 may be provided inside the accommodation box 11, and the above determination may be performed based on imaging data captured by the imaging device. In addition, a contact sensor that detects that a load has contacted the rear door 13 may be provided on the front surface (back surface) of the rear door 13, and the above determination may be performed based on the detection result of the contact sensor.

  (7) In the above embodiment, the notification device 53 (notification means) is configured by a sound output device such as a speaker. However, the notification device is configured by a device other than the sound output device such as a display device such as a display or a light emitting device such as a lamp. May be. For example, when the notification device is configured by a display device, it is conceivable that a message such as “please put the baggage all the way in” is displayed on the display device during the notification process (step S21 in FIG. 8). Further, when the notification device is constituted by a light emitting device, it is conceivable that the light emitting device blinks or lights during the notification process. Also in these cases, when the luggage is not put into the interior of the accommodation space 19, it can be notified to the delivery company.

  (8) In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to the wall-mounted delivery box 10 that is attached to the outer wall 21 that divides the inside and outside of the house. For example, the wall is attached to a wall portion such as a fence that divides the inside and outside of the site. The present invention may be applied to other home delivery boxes. Further, the present invention may be applied not only to a wall-mounted delivery box, but also to a stationary delivery box that is installed on a gate pole or a fence, a pole-type delivery box that is built into a pole, and the like.

  In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to the first-in / last-out type delivery box 10 having the luggage entry port 24 in addition to the luggage entry port 23, but the delivery box having only the luggage entry port 23, that is, the entry port. The present invention may be applied to a first-in / first-out type delivery box in which the loading and unloading of the packages are performed through 23.

  (9) In the above-described embodiment, the baggage inlet 23 is provided on the front surface of the storage box 11. However, in some stationary delivery boxes, the input port is provided on the upper surface of the storage box. In such a delivery box, the depth direction of the storage box is the vertical direction, and a charging port is formed on the top surface. Therefore, the present invention may be applied to such a delivery box. In this case, for example, a configuration in which a delivery box having the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment is used in a state in which the delivery box is directed up and down (a state in which the input port is directed upward) can be considered. Even in such a configuration, when the entire baggage is placed in the accommodation space 19 and the entire baggage is located behind (that is, below) the partitioning position of the partitioning plate 27, the partitioning plate 27 is moved to the partitioning position. Since the storage space 19 is partitioned, the space for receiving and storing new luggage can be formed on the front side (that is, the upper side) of the partition plate 27. Therefore, also in this case, a plurality of packages can be received and accommodated.

  Further, in the above configuration, when the partition plate 27 is held in the holding member 31 in the vertical state at the initial position and the holding of the partition plate 27 is released by the holding release device 36, the partition plate 27 is caused by its own weight (gravity). It turns toward the partition position. When the partition plate 27 reaches the partition position, the engagement pin 42 enters and engages with the engagement recess 45, whereby the partition plate 27 enters a locked state. At this partitioning position, the partition plate 27 is in a sideways state. Even in such a configuration, the driving device is not required when the partition plate 27 is rotated to the partitioning position, and the driving unit is not required for the lock mechanism, so that the configuration can be simplified.

  In the above-described configuration, when a load is inserted into the accommodation space 19 from the insertion port 23, the load is naturally placed at the back of the accommodation space 19, that is, the lower portion due to gravity. For this reason, in this case, it is not necessary to perform a notification process for notifying that when a package is not loaded so as to reach the inner part of the accommodation space 19. Therefore, the notification device 53 can be omitted.
