[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an article receiving box for receiving articles such as home delivery.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An object of the present invention is to enable delivery of goods by a courier service even when a resident is absent, at the same time secure storage of courier goods, and to enable a resident to take out the stored goods at any time. This type of goods receiving box may be used for this purpose. In such an article receiving box, when an article is not stored in the box body forming the article storage room, the courier can store the courier in the article storage room, When is stored, it is required that anyone other than the resident cannot take out the article.

[0003] As an article receiving box capable of responding to this demand, it is electrically detected whether or not articles are stored in the article storage chamber, and a door provided at the entrance of the article storage chamber is electrically detected based on the detection signal. A device that controls locking and unlocking is known (first conventional example), and a device that performs locking and unlocking by such electric control has been used in many cases.

On the other hand, in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 4-37589, an article storage chamber is formed by a receiving table supported by a spring force, and a locking mechanism is provided at a door provided at an entrance of the article storing chamber. At a predetermined position, there is described an article receiving box having a latch hole for allowing the slide bolt on the locking mechanism to be fitted and removed only when the receiving table is lowered against the spring force due to the weight of the article.

[0005]

However, the article receiving box of the first conventional example employs an electric control system for locking the door body, which requires not only electrical work but also the possibility of disconnection. Therefore, it was not suitable for outdoor installation.

The article receiving box disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 4-37589 employs a spring-based weight sensor system for locking the door. The strength of the spring supporting the cradle is increased to increase the durability of the spring. When the height is increased, the sensitivity of the lowering operation of the cradle when the articles are stored in the article storage chamber decreases, and when the lightweight articles are stored, the lowering operation of the cradle cannot be performed reliably and the lock may not be performed. If the spring force is reduced to increase the sensitivity of the lowering operation of the pedestal, the durability of the spring itself deteriorates.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and employs a method of detecting that an article has been put into an article storage chamber with respect to locking of a door body. It is an object of the present invention to provide an article receiving box in which, when an article is put in a storage chamber, the article is securely locked regardless of the weight of the article.

[0008]

An article receiving box according to the present invention comprises a box body forming an article storage chamber having a front entrance and an entrance to and exit from the article storage chamber as articles are stored in the article storage chamber. Is movable from the first position corresponding to the first position to the second position, which is located inside the article storage chamber and away from the article placement section, and is capable of returning from the second position to the first position. A door body having a handle for horizontally opening and closing the entrance of the article storage chamber outside the first position above and outside of the first position, and a slide bolt that can be extended and retracted are always protruded by a resilient urging force to perform an unlocking operation. A locking mechanism in which the slide bolt is retracted against the elastic urging force, a first member vertically movable between two upper and lower positions, and a projecting position vertically overlapping the first member and a first member in a vertical direction. Can be moved between non-overlapping retracted positions. The latch portion for latching the slide bolt of the locking mechanism to the first member and the slide bolt and having a second member for raising and lowering the first member
A lock receiving mechanism in which a non-latch portion to be temporarily locked is vertically arranged side by side, wherein a locking mechanism is attached to the door body and the lock receiving mechanism is attached to the box body, respectively, and a first one of the lock receiving mechanism is provided. When the member moves up and down between the upper and lower positions, the height position where the latch portion and the non-latch portion are alternately located and the height position of the slide bolt of the locking mechanism correspond to each other,
When the movable body moves from the first position to the second position, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the protruding position to the retracted position, and when the movable body moves from the second position to the first position, the lock receiver is moved. The movable member and the second member of the lock receiving mechanism are connected via an intermediate mechanism that moves the second member of the mechanism from the retracted position to the projecting position.

In this article receiving box, there are the following two concrete configurations of the intermediate mechanism.

First, when the movable body moves from the first position to the second position, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the projecting position to the retracted position, and the movable body moves from the second position to the first position. Then, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the retracted position to the protruding position.

Second, when the movable body moves from the first position to the second position, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the retracted position to the protruding position, and the movable body moves from the second position to the first position. Then, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the protruding position to the retracted position when performing the operation.

Further, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism may overlap the lower side of the first member or the upper side of the first member at the projecting position.
Although a resilient biasing member such as a spring body or a magnet for constantly resiliently biasing the member upward is required, in the former case, the first
A resilient biasing member is not necessary since the member is constantly biased downward by its own weight.

The specific upper and lower positional relationship between the latch portion and the non-latch portion provided side by side in the lock receiving mechanism is as follows.
It becomes like (4). (1) In the case where the intermediate mechanism has the above-described first specific configuration and the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is configured to overlap the lower side of the first member at the projecting position, the latch unit is positioned upward. The non-latch section is down. (2) When the intermediate mechanism has the above-described first specific configuration and the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is configured to overlap the upper side of the first member at the projecting position, the latch portion is not positioned below. The latch is on top. (3) When the intermediate mechanism has the above-described second specific configuration and the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is configured to overlap the lower side of the first member at the protruding position, the latch portion is positioned downward. The non-latch portion is at the top. (4) When the intermediate mechanism has the above-described second specific configuration and the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is configured to overlap the upper side of the first member at the protruding position, the latch portion is not up. The latch is down.

[0014]

In the article receiving box of the present invention, the operation in the case where the upper and lower specific positional relationship between the latch portion and the non-latch portion provided in parallel with the lock receiving mechanism corresponds to the above (1) will be described. .

When no articles are stored in the article storage chamber and the movable body is located at the first position, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism overlaps the lower side of the first member, and the first member is closed.
The member is raised to the upper position, and the non-latch portion of the first member corresponds to the height position of the slide bolt of the locking mechanism attached to the door. Therefore, the door can be freely opened.

When the door is opened and the article is put into the article accommodating chamber of the box body when the movable body is located at the first position, the movable body is pushed by the article or by hand and the second body is pushed.
Go back and forth to the position. For this reason, the first lock receiving mechanism
The second member overlapping the lower side of the member is moved to the retracted position by the operation of the intermediate mechanism, and accordingly, the first member is lowered to the lower position, and the lock attached to the latch portion of the first member and the door body. The height position of the slide bolt of the mechanism corresponds to the height position. Therefore, when an article is stored and the door is closed in this state, the slide bolt of the locking mechanism is hooked on the latch portion, and the door is locked.

The door can be opened by performing an unlocking operation when the door is locked to retract the slide bolt of the locking mechanism from the latch portion.

The specific upper and lower positional relationship between the latch portion and the non-latch portion provided side by side in the lock receiving mechanism is described in (2) to (4).
Also in the case corresponding to (4), an operation similar to the above-described operation is performed.

That is, when no article is stored in the article storage chamber and the movable body is located at the first position, the slide bolt of the locking mechanism attached to the non-latch portion of the first member and the door body. And the door can be freely opened.

When the door is opened and the article is put into the article accommodating chamber of the box body when the movable body is located at the first position, the movable body is pushed by the article or the hand and the second body is pushed.
It moves forward toward the position, and the latch portion of the first member corresponds to the height position of the slide bolt of the locking mechanism attached to the door body. Therefore, when an article is stored and the door is closed in this state, the slide bolt of the locking mechanism is hooked on the latch portion, and the door is locked.

The door can be opened by performing an unlocking operation when the door is locked to retract the slide bolt of the locking mechanism from the latch portion.

Next, the operation will be described.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5,
When the movable body 5 is located at the first position, as shown in FIG. 7, the second member 12 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 overlaps the lower side of the first member 11 and the first member 11 rises to the upper position. I have. Therefore, the non-latch portion 15 of the first member 11 and the door 4
The slide bolts 22 of the locking mechanism 8 on the B side correspond to each other, and when the door body 4B is closed, the slide bolts 22 are temporarily engaged with the non-latch portions 15 as shown in FIG. In this state, even if the door 4 </ b> B is blown by the wind, the door 4 </ b> B is prevented from fluttering by the temporary latch between the non-latch portion 15 and the slide bolt 22. In this state, when the door body 4B is pulled outward to apply a force in the opening direction, the slide bolt 22 is pushed by the inclined front wall surface 15a of the non-latch portion 15 as shown by a virtual line in FIG. After that, slide bolt 2
Since 2 is detached from the non-latch portion 15, the door 4B can be freely opened as shown by the arrow A1 in FIG. 3 by pulling the door 4B outward.

Therefore, for example, the courier opens the door 4B even when the resident is absent, and then pushes the movable body 5 arranged at the first position toward the second position, and stores the courier in the article storage room. 3B.

In this embodiment, since the movable body 5 is formed by a plate-like inner door member which covers the entire entrance 3b of the article storage chamber 3B, it is necessary to take the first The movable body 5 arranged at one position is
It is indispensable to push to home by hand or by hand. For this reason, the movable body 5 always moves from the first position to the second position when the home delivery company places the home delivery in the article storage room 3B. Then, as described above, when the movable rod 5 moves toward the second position by pushing the connecting rod 19 to the rear R by the first protrusion 17 as described above, the movable rod 5 moves toward the second position. The second member 12 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is pushed rearward by the connecting rod 19 and is moved to the retracted position, and the first member 11 is accordingly moved by the spring 11A as shown by the arrow D in FIG. The urging force lowers the latch member 14 of the first member 11 to the lower position, and the locking mechanism 8 on the door body 4B side.
Corresponding to the slide bolt 22. Therefore, when an article is stored in this state and the door body 4B is closed, the slide bolt 22 of the locking mechanism 8 gets over the front end portion of the first member 11 and is hooked on the latch portion 14 as shown in FIG. The body 4B is locked.

When the door 4B is locked in this way, a person who does not have a key for unlocking the locking mechanism 8 cannot open the door 4B to take out the home delivery. Therefore, the home delivery is safely stored in the article storage room 3B. When the home delivery is stored, the movable unit 5 is locked by the locking unit.
Is prevented from returning.

The home delivery items stored in the article storage room 3B are opened after a person (for example, a resident) having a key for unlocking the locking mechanism 8 performs an unlocking operation using the key. It is possible to open the body 4B and take it out of the article storage room 3B. To unlock the locking mechanism 8, the slide bolt 22 of the locking mechanism 8 is retracted as shown in FIG. 10 by inserting a key into the hook hole of the hook member 28 and rotating the protruding piece 26 together with the hook member 28. When the slide bolt 22 retreats as shown in FIG. 10, the slide bolt 22 comes out of the latch portion 14 and is unlocked.

When the movable body 5 is moved back from the second position to the first position after the home delivery is removed from the article storage room 3B, the connecting rod 19 is moved to the second projecting portion 17 as described above.
, And is pushed forward F together with the second member 12.
And the connecting rod 19 is fitted between the first projecting piece 17 and the second projecting piece 18 during the movement. When the second member 12 moves forward F, the action of the guide surfaces 11a and 12a of the first member 11 and the second member 12 causes the second member 12 to go under the first member 11, so that the first member 11 is moved downward. The second member 12 overlaps the lower side of the member 11, the first member 11 is pushed upward as indicated by an arrow U in FIG.
Is supported. This enables the next delivery of the home delivery.

Incidentally, in the article receiving box, it is useful to be able to know from the outside whether or not an article is stored in the article storage chamber 3B. For this reason, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the display 4 indicating “in use” or “empty” is provided on the front surface of the first member 11 of the lock receiving mechanism 6.
In addition, viewing windows 41 and 42 are formed on the case 13 and the door body 4B of the lock receiving mechanism 6 so that the display 40 can be viewed. Therefore, when the peeping windows 41 and 42 indicate that no articles are stored in the article storage room 3B (FIG. 5), the courier looks at the display 40 and stores the articles in the article storage room 3B. When the sight windows 41, 42 indicate that the articles are stored in the article storage chamber 3B (FIG. 6), the resident can take out the articles by looking at it. become.

Although the handling of the home delivery by the home delivery company has been described above, the articles that can be handled in the article receiving box include deliveries such as sake and laundry.

In the article receiving box of the present invention, it is not always necessary to form the movable body 5 with a plate-like inner door material that covers the entire entrance 3b of the article storage chamber 3B.
For example, it may be formed of a small-width horizontally long plate or bar that is reciprocated between the first position and the second position at an intermediate position between the floor plates 2A and 2B. Further, the method of moving the movable body 5 back after removing the article from the article storage chamber 3B includes a method in which a person who has taken out the article moves the movable body 5 by hand or a method in which the movable body 5 is weakly resilient. There is a method in which a spring body constantly urges the actuator in the backward movement direction. On the other hand, in the above embodiment, the lock receiving mechanism 6
Although the first member 11 is always elastically urged downward by the spring 11A, the spring 11A is omitted and the first member 11 is always urged downward by the weight of the first member 11 itself. You may leave.

The article receiving box of the present invention can be implemented in the following manner in addition to the embodiment described in the embodiment.

That is, as for the intermediate mechanism, when the movable body moves from the first position to the second position, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the retracted position to the protruding position, and the movable body is moved to the second position.
It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the projecting position to the retracted position when moving from the position to the first position.

With respect to the lock receiving mechanism, it is possible to make the second member overlap the upper side of the first member at the projecting position. In this case, the first member is always elastically biased upward. A resilient urging member such as a spring body or a magnet is required.

The specific upper and lower positional relationship between the latch portion and the non-latch portion provided side by side in the lock receiving mechanism can be changed as appropriate depending on which configuration is employed for the intermediate mechanism and the lock receiving mechanism. Modifications for this purpose are described separately in (1) to (4) in the section of the means for solving the above-mentioned problem, and thus will not be described here.

FIG. 14 shows a modification of the intermediate mechanism 7 for connecting the movable body and the second member of the lock receiving mechanism. The movable body 5 shown in FIG. 14 has its upper end swingably supported by a front horizontal shaft 9 '. The intermediate mechanism 7 shown in the figure is formed by the connecting rod 19 described above, a lateral shaft 31 provided on the connecting rod 19, and a flange 32 provided at a side end of the movable body 5. The horizontal shaft 31 is fitted into the long hole 33.

According to such an intermediate mechanism 7, the movable member 5
Moves between the first position (the position shown by the solid line) and the second position (the position shown by the imaginary line), the horizontal bearing 31 and the connecting rod 19 fitted in the elongated hole 33 accordingly.
Are moved back and forth in the range of L.

FIG. 15 shows another modification of the intermediate mechanism 7 for connecting the movable body and the second member of the lock receiving mechanism. The movable body 5 shown in FIG. 15 is of a type that slides back and forth inside the article storage chamber. The intermediate mechanism 7 shown in the figure includes the connecting rod 19 described above, a pin 36 provided on a flange 35 provided on the movable body 5, and a link 38 having an elongated hole 37 into which the pin 36 is fitted. One end of the link 38 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 19.

Even with such an intermediate mechanism 7, when the movable body 5 moves between the first position (the position shown by the imaginary line A) and the second position (the position shown by the imaginary line B), Along with this, the pin 36 fitted in the elongated hole 37 becomes a link 38
To move the connecting rod 19 back and forth within the range of L. The long hole 37 of the link 38 in the intermediate mechanism 7
This is a means for giving play to the reciprocation of the movable body 5. Therefore, according to the intermediate mechanism 7, it is possible to shorten the stroke of the connecting rod 19 (that is, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism) while increasing the reciprocating stroke of the movable body 5.

The intermediate mechanism 7 is not limited to the above-described one,
The mechanism may be configured by using a cam. In short, the intermediate mechanism 7 moves the second member of the lock receiving mechanism between the projecting position and the retreat position when the movable body moves between the first position and the second position. Any configuration may be used as long as it can be moved between.
