A flowchart showing a package transfer process. The schematic diagram which shows the flow of a baggage transfer.

Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, an embedded type delivery box provided in the soil of the entrance in a detached house is embodied. FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a delivery box provided in the soil of the entrance.

As shown in FIG. 1, a dirt floor 11 straddling indoors and outdoors is provided at the entrance of a house. A groove 12 communicating indoors and outdoors is formed in the soil floor 11 so as to straddle the lower part of the outer wall 13, and a delivery box 20 is installed in the groove 12.

The delivery box 20 has a storage box 30 for accommodating luggage. The storage box 30 has a top plate portion 31 and a bottom plate portion 32 facing each other in the vertical direction, and a pair of side plate portions 33, 34 facing each other in the thickness direction of the outer wall 13, and extends in the thickness direction of the outer wall 13. It has a square tubular shape. The space surrounded by the plate portions 31 to 34 serves as a luggage storage space 39, and the storage space 39 extends indoors and outdoors.

An opening is formed at the top plate portion 31 of the storage box 30, specifically, the outdoor end of the top plate portion 31, in a direction (upward) intersecting the depth direction of the storage space 39, and this opening is formed. It is an input port 35 for loading luggage into the accommodation space 39. Further, an opening opened in a direction (upper) intersecting the depth direction of the storage space 39 is formed at the indoor end of the top plate portion 31 of the storage box 30, specifically, the top plate portion 31. The opening serves as an outlet 36 for taking out luggage from the accommodation space 39.

In the following description, the input port 35 side in the depth direction of the accommodation space 39 is also referred to as a “front side”, and the outlet 36 side is also referred to as a “back side”. Further, hereinafter, what is simply described as "depth direction" shall indicate the depth direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 1) of the accommodation space 39.

The storage box 30 includes a first door 41 (corresponding to a "first opening / closing body") that opens and closes the input port 35, a third door 43 that allows the outlet 36 to be opened and closed, and the first door 41 and the third door 43 thereof. A second door 42 (corresponding to a "second opening / closing body") arranged between the doors 43 is provided. Of these, the first door 41 and the second door 42 are provided with a locking device capable of locking and unlocking the first door 41 and the second door 42 by energization. Although the locking device for locking and unlocking the third door 43 is not provided in the present embodiment, a locking device for the third door 43 may be provided.

The first door 41 and the third door 43 are exposed to the outside and are configured to be switched between the open state and the closed state by a manual operation by the user. On the other hand, the second door 42 is provided with a drive unit 55 (motor) for switching the second door 42 to the open / closed state, and automatically switches to the open / closed state. It has become.

When the second door 42 is closed, the accommodation space 39 is divided into an area on the front side and an area on the back side of the second door 42 by the second door 42. The second door 42 is arranged so as to be biased toward the first door 41 side of the first door 41 and the third door 43, and the area on the back side is larger than the area on the front side.

In the area on the front side, the area sandwiched between the closed second door 42 and the side plate portion 33 on the front side is the loading area IE (corresponding to the "predetermined area") in which luggage is loaded through the loading port 35. Functions as. The size (L1) of the charging area IE in the depth direction is the same as the size of the charging port 35.

The bottom plate portion 32 of the storage box 30 has a stepped shape in which the front side is the lower stage and the back side is the upper stage. A conveyor device 71 is arranged in the lower portion as a transfer means for transferring the load loaded into the loading area IE from the loading area IE to the inner area. The conveyor device 71 includes a plurality of rollers 72 provided side by side in the depth direction of the accommodation space 39, and a transport band 73 (belt) provided so as to span the rollers 72. A motor as a drive unit is connected to the roller 72, and the driving force of the motor is transmitted to the transport band 73 via the roller 72.

The transport band 73 constitutes the bottom of the storage box 30 over the loading area IE and the area on the back side, and functions as a loading portion on which luggage is placed in the loading area IE. The load placed on the transport band 73 in the loading area IE will be transferred to the inner area as the transport band 73 rotates.

When the load is transferred by the conveyor device 71 described in detail above, the second door 42 is switched from the closed state to the open state. Here, the second door 42 is a rotary door that is rotatably supported so that the upper end portion is a rotation base end portion and the lower end portion is a rotation tip portion, and is in a closed state (vertical state). ) / When switching between the open state (horizontal state), it operates on the back side of the input area IE. The area on the back side is roughly divided into an operating area ME, which is an area for operating the second door 42, and a stock area SE, which is an area for waiting for the load transferred by the conveyor device 71, in the depth direction. The conveyor band 73 of the conveyor device 71 extends beyond the operating area ME to the stock area SE. The size (L4) of the extension portion to the stock area SE side is larger than the size (L1) of the input area IE. This is a device for suppressing that a part of the load transferred to the stock area SE by the conveyor device 71 remains in the operation area ME.

The upper portion 32a of the bottom plate portion 32 is located at a position on the back side of the transport band 73. The load transferred to the stock area SE by the transport band 73 is moved from the transport band 73 to the upper portion 32a. The size (L3) of the upper portion 32a in the depth direction is the same as the size (L1) of the input area IE, and the size (L2) in the depth direction of the extended portion and the upper portion 32a combined. ) Is larger than twice the size of the input area IE (l1). As a result, in the delivery box 20 shown in the present embodiment, the parcel can be transferred to the stock area SE twice, that is, the parcel can be received three times.

The conveyor device 71 (specifically, the above motor) is connected to a controller described later, and drive control is performed by this controller. A baggage sensor 75 (corresponding to “detection means”) for detecting the baggage loaded in the loading area IE is connected to the controller. The luggage sensor 75 is a laser sensor that is arranged on the side plate portion 33 and has a light emitting portion that outputs a laser to the side plate portion 34 and a light receiving portion that receives reflected light. The controller calculates the distance to the detection target based on the detection information from the luggage sensor 75. Then, based on the calculated distance, it is grasped whether or not the luggage is loaded in the loading area IE. The luggage sensor 75 is arranged closer to the bottom plate portion 32. This is a device to prevent overlooking short luggage.

A transmission portion 45 capable of transmitting laser light is provided at the lower end portion of the second door 42. By providing the transmission unit 45, the monitoring range by the laser beam is extended not only to the injection area IE but also to the operation area ME and the stock area SE. That is, it is possible to grasp the presence or absence of luggage in the operating area ME and the stock area SE based on the calculated distance described above.

Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the case where the laser sensor is used as the luggage sensor 75 has been illustrated, but the type of sensor is arbitrary as long as it can detect the luggage existing in the loading area IE. For example, a weight sensor or another optical sensor may be used. Further, a luggage sensor may be provided individually for each of the loading area IE, the operating area ME, and the stock area SE.

Next, the electrical configuration of the delivery box 20 will be supplementarily described with reference to the block diagram of FIG.

The delivery box 20 (for example, the third door 43) is operated by a control unit 81 mainly composed of a well-known microcomputer having a CPU or the like, a notification unit 82 that notifies the user of the status of the delivery box 20, and the like. A controller 80 having an operation unit 83 is arranged. In the present embodiment, the control unit 81 corresponds to the "locking / unlocking control means".

In addition to the luggage sensor 75 described above, the opening / closing sensor 61 for the first door for the first door 41 and the opening / closing sensor 62 for the second door for the second door 42 are connected to the input side of the controller 80. There is. The control unit 81 grasps whether the first door 41 is in the open state or the closed state based on the detection information from the first door open / close sensor 61, and detects the detection information from the second door open / close sensor 62. It is grasped whether the second door 42 is in the open state or the closed state based on the above.

A first locking device 51 for the first door 41 and a second locking device 52 for the second door 42 are connected to the output side of the controller 80, and the control unit 81 locks the locking devices 51 and 52. / Switch to the unlocked state. Further, a drive unit 55 for the second door 42 and a conveyor device 71 are connected to the output side of the controller 80, and the control unit 81 closes the second door 42 by controlling the drive of the drive unit 55. The load is transferred by switching to the / open state and controlling the drive of the conveyor device 71.

Next, the load transfer process executed by the control unit 81 of the controller 80 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The luggage transfer process is a process that is periodically executed by the control unit 81.

In the package transfer process, first, it is determined in step S101 whether or not the acceptance of the package is being restricted. If a negative determination is made in step S101, the process proceeds to step S102. In step S102, it is determined whether or not the load is being transferred. If a negative determination is made in step S102, the process proceeds to step S103.

In step S103, it is determined whether or not the first door 41 is in the closed state based on the detection information from the first door open / close sensor 61. If the first door 41 is in the open state, a negative determination is made in step S103, and the baggage transfer process is terminated as it is. When the first door 41 is in the closed state, an affirmative determination is made in step S103 and the process proceeds to step S104.

In step S104, it is determined whether or not the luggage exists in the loading area IE based on the detection information from the luggage sensor 75. Specifically, when the distance from the luggage sensor 75 to the detection target is a distance corresponding to the loading area IE in the depth direction, it is determined that the luggage is located in the loading area IE. If no baggage exists in the loading area IE, a negative determination is made in step S104 to end the baggage transfer process. If there is luggage in the loading area IE, a positive determination is made in step S104 and the process proceeds to step S105.

In step S105, the first door locking process is executed. Specifically, the opening of the first door 41 is regulated by switching the first locking device 51 to the locked state. In the following step S106, the second door unlocking process is executed. Specifically, by switching the second locking device 52 from the locked state to the unlocked state, it is possible to switch to the open state of the second door 42. In the process of step S106, the switching of the second locking device 52 is delayed so that the second locking device 52 switches to the unlocked state after the switching of the first locking device 51 to the locked state.

In the following step S107, the drive unit 55 is driven and controlled to switch the second door 42 from the closed state to the open state. This makes it possible to transfer the luggage from the loading area IE to the stock area SE side. After executing the process of step S107, the process proceeds to step S108 to execute the transfer start process. In the transfer start process, the roller 72 of the conveyor device 71 is rotated to start the transfer of the load from the loading area IE side to the stock area SE side.

Returning to the description of step S102, if the load is being transferred, an affirmative determination is made in step S102 and the process proceeds to step S109. In step S109, it is determined whether or not the transfer of the package is completed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the luggage has passed through the operating area ME and moved to the stock area SE based on the detection information from the luggage sensor 75. If the baggage has not moved to the stock area SE, a negative determination is made in step S109 and the process proceeds to step S110. In step S110, it is determined whether or not a predetermined period (for example, 60 sec) has elapsed since the transfer start process was executed in step S108. If a negative determination is made in step S110, the baggage transfer process is terminated as it is.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S109 or step S110, that is, if the transfer of the package to the stock area SE can be confirmed or a time-out occurs, the process proceeds to step S111. In step S111, the transfer end process is executed. As a result, the operation of the conveyor device 71 is stopped after the deceleration rotation of the roller 72.

In the following step S112, it is determined whether or not the luggage exists in the operation area ME based on the detection information from the luggage sensor 75. Specifically, when the distance from the luggage sensor 75 to the detection target is within the range in which the rotating tip of the second door 42 moves in the depth direction, the luggage is located in the operating area ME. Is determined to be.

If there is luggage in the operating area ME, a positive determination is made in step S112 and the process proceeds to step S113. In step S113, the drive unit 55 is driven and controlled to switch the second door 42 from the open state to the closed state. After executing the process of step S113, the process proceeds to step S114 to execute the second door locking process. Specifically, by switching the second locking device 52 from the unlocked state to the locked state, switching to the open state of the second door 42 is regulated. After that, the first door unlocking process is executed in step S115. Specifically, the first locking device 51 can be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state to open the first door 41. In the process of step S115, the switching of the first locking device 51 is delayed so that the first locking device 51 switches to the unlocked state after the switching of the second locking device 52 to the locked state.

Returning to the description of step S112, if a load is present in the operation area ME, a negative determination is made in step S112 and the process proceeds to step S116. In step S116, the acceptance restriction process is executed. In the acceptance restriction process, the operation unit 83 of the controller 80 cannot switch to the unlocked state of the first locking device 51 until the restriction release operation is performed. In other words, the acceptance of additional luggage will be restricted. After that, after executing the notification process in step S117, the baggage transfer process is terminated. By executing the notification process, the notification unit 82 of the controller 80 notifies that the baggage is full and that the regulation release operation is necessary. Although not shown, the processes of steps S116 to S117 are executed even when the switching of the second door 42 to the closed state is hindered for some reason.

Returning to the description of step S101, if acceptance is being restricted, an affirmative determination is made in step S101 and the process proceeds to step S118. In step S118, the operation unit 83 of the controller 80 determines whether or not the regulation release operation has been performed. If a negative determination is made in step S118, the baggage transfer process is terminated as it is. If an affirmative determination is made in step S118, the regulation release process in step S119 is executed, and then the baggage transfer process is terminated. When the regulation release process is executed, the first locking device 51 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, and the opening of the first door 41 is allowed. As a result, it becomes possible to load the luggage into the loading area IE.

Next, the flow of transporting the luggage will be described with reference to the schematic diagram of FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the case where the above-mentioned baggage acceptance restriction does not occur is illustrated.

Basically, the first door 41 can be opened and the second door 42 cannot be opened under the situation where the luggage T is not loaded. That is, even if the first door 41 is opened, access to the area behind the second door 42 and access to the indoor space through the accommodation space 39 are not possible. The operation of the conveyor device 71 is also stopped.

When the luggage T is loaded into the loading area IE, the luggage T is detected by the luggage sensor 75 and the first door 41 is closed, so that the doors 41 and 42 are locked (locked). / Can be switched to the unlocked state (unlocked). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A → FIG. 4B, the opening of the first door 41 is restricted by switching the first door 41 from the unlocked state to the locked state. After that, the second door 42 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state and from the closed state to the open state. This makes it possible to transfer the luggage T from the loading area IE to the stock area SE. Even if the second door 42 is switched to the open state, since the first door 41 is in the locked state, unauthorized access to the stock area SE or the like through the slot 35 becomes difficult.

After the switching of the second door 42 to the open state is completed, the operation of the conveyor device 71 is started, and the luggage T moves in the depth direction. As shown in FIG. 4B → FIG. 4C, the transfer end processing is executed at the timing when the luggage T passes through the operation area ME and the entire luggage T reaches the stock area SE. Specifically, the rotation speed of the roller 72 of the conveyor device 71 is gradually reduced to stop. As a result, it is possible to prevent the load T from moving from the conveyor device 71 to the upper portion 32a while maintaining the momentum.

As shown in FIG. 4C → FIG. 4D, after the transfer of the luggage T is completed, the second door 42 is switched from the open state to the closed state and from the unlocked state to the locked state. After that, when the first door 41 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, the first door 41 can be opened and the luggage can be re-loaded into the loading area IE.

After that, every time the baggage is loaded, the baggage is transferred to the stock area SE, the stock area SE becomes full, and some of the baggage stays in the operation area ME. Acceptance is regulated. In this case, the first door 41 is maintained in the locked state until the above-mentioned regulation release operation is performed, and access from the input port 35 to the accommodation space 39 and the like is disabled.

According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

By transferring the load loaded into the loading area IE from the loading port 35 to the back side of the second door 42 by the conveyor device 71, the load can be reloaded into the loading area IE. By making it possible to accept a plurality of packages in this way, the convenience of the delivery box 20 can be greatly improved. Since the parcel is transferred by the conveyor device 71, the parcel delivery company or the like is not forced to move the parcel. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the function of receiving a plurality of packages from being unsuccessfully exerted due to a work error or the like.

In the stock area SE, the preceding luggage and the succeeding luggage can be stocked in a state of being in contact with each other in the depth direction. Therefore, the storage efficiency of the luggage in the stock area SE can be suitably improved. Further, since the stock area SE is not subdivided by a partition or the like, it is possible to efficiently stock luggage of various sizes.

Locking devices 51 and 52 are attached to the first door 41 and the second door 42, and switching control of the locking devices 51 and 52 is performed so that at least one of the locking devices 51 and 52 is in the locked state. Will be. With such a configuration, unauthorized access to the package to be transferred can be suppressed. Therefore, in improving the crime prevention function of the delivery box 20, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the convenience of the delivery box 20.

Further, since either the first door 41 or the second door 42 is locked, it is possible to make it difficult to illegally access the indoor space through the accommodation space 39. In the present embodiment, by enhancing the crime prevention function in this way, even if the third door 43 is not equipped with the locking device, it is possible to prevent the crime prevention property from being significantly reduced. It is advantageous to make the locking device for the third door 43 inadequate in this way in order to improve the convenience of the resident.

The content is not limited to the description of the above-described embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example. Incidentally, the following configuration of another embodiment may be applied individually to the configuration of the above embodiment, or may be applied in combination with each other.

-In the above embodiment, the conveyor band 73 (corresponding to the "conveyor" or "movable body") of the conveyor device 71 is accommodated more than the operating area ME of the second door 42 (corresponding to the "second opening / closing body"). It extends to the back side in the space 39, and the length (L4) of the extended portion is the length (L1) of the insertion area IE in the depth direction of the storage box 30, that is, the distance between the second door 42 and the side plate portion 33. Made larger than. In order to make it difficult for the luggage to remain in the operating area ME when the luggage arranged in the loading area IE is transferred, the length (L4) of the extended portion is set to the depth direction of the storage box 30 of the loading area IE. It can be the same as the length (L1).

Further, the stock area SE in the storage box 30 is sufficient as long as it can accommodate at least one piece of luggage, and the size (length) of the stock area SE in the depth direction is arbitrary. For example, the size (length) of the stock area SE in the depth direction may be the same as the size (length) of the input area IE in the depth direction, or may be tripled or more.

-The specific configuration of the second door 42 is arbitrary as long as the storage space 39 of the storage box 30 can be divided into the front side and the back side by the second door 42. For example, the second door may be changed from a rotary type to a sliding type, or from a single door to a double door.

-In the above embodiment, the conveyor device 71 is used as the "transfer means", but the specific configuration of the transfer means is arbitrary as long as the load can be transferred. For example, the side plate portion 33 can be slidably moved in the depth direction of the storage box 30, and the luggage arranged in the loading area IE by the side plate portion 33 is pushed toward the stock area SE side to transfer the luggage. Is also possible. In this case, the load when the load is transferred can be suitably reduced by inclining the bottom surface on which the load is placed downward to the back side.
