Further, an electric lock (not shown) for automatically locking and unlocking the outdoor door 30 is provided in the input / output port 29, and the electric lock and a sensor are electrically connected to a control circuit.

As shown in FIG. 1, the home delivery box device includes an automatic stamping means 10 having a stamping section 5 provided on an outdoor surface. The automatic stamping means 10 includes a holder on which a commercially available seal can be continuously attached without using vermilion, a stamping mechanism for moving the holder up and down by electromagnetic force, and a control means for controlling the operation of the stamping mechanism. When,
Is provided. An operation unit 28 for loading and unloading luggage is provided above the seal unit 5.

The method of use and operation of this device will be described. First, a start button provided on the operation unit 28 shown in FIG. 1 is pressed. As a result, the empty 1 button (first storage room 8) and the empty 2 button (second storage room 9) blink. In addition,
Normally (before operation), the start button is lit. When the arrival lamp is lit, luggage cannot be loaded.

Next, when one of the empty 1 button and empty 2 button is pressed according to the size of the baggage, the corresponding outdoor door is opened slightly. At this time, a warning sound is emitted.

After that, the outdoor door is opened by hand, and luggage is loaded so as to close the sensor in the first storage room 8 or the second storage room 9. In addition, when thrown into the first storage room 8, since the interior door 12 is kept in a closed state, there is no possibility that a person enters the building, which is preferable for crime prevention.

After loading the luggage, the outdoor door is closed again by hand. When the sensor detects the package, the receipt lamp flashes.

When the luggage is not loaded, or when the sensor is not blocked even after luggage is loaded, when the outdoor door is closed, the cancel button flashes and an alarm sounds, and the start button is lit. Back.

Next, the slip is put into the seal section 5, and when the receiving button changes from blinking to lighting, the receiving button is pressed.

When left for 120 seconds, the arrival button lights up. The seal can be made any number of times for 60 seconds.

After the seal, the arrival button lights up. After the arrival button is turned on, it cannot be canceled. Also, once the receipt and seal have been performed, it cannot be canceled. The human luggage input operation is completed in any of the first storage room 8 and the second storage room 9.

In the case where the baggage is put into the first storage room 8, after the above operation, the luggage is automatically carried into the room. To describe them in order, first, the motor 17 of the indoor door 12 rotates and the indoor door 12 opens automatically. At this time, the fact that the indoor door 12 has been opened is indicated by blinking of the lamp. In addition, indoor door
12 can be lifted up and down in the vertical state, so the luggage will not be caught.

Thereafter, the motor-equipped rollers 19 in the first storage chamber 8 rotate, and the load delivery belts 18, 18 circulate along an endless track, and the load is delivered to the room I side. Then, when the luggage passes the luggage passage detector 26, the roller
19 (belts 18, 18) stops. In addition, baggage passage detector
If 26 does not detect the load, belts 18, 18 stop after 60 seconds (since the load is caught somewhere). Also, even if the belt S18 and 18 rotate five times (five laps), the sensor S automatically outputs a signal indicating that there is a luggage.
19 (belts 18, 18) stops.

Thereafter, the motor 17 of the indoor door 12 rotates in the reverse direction, and the indoor door 12 automatically closes. If the belts 18 and 18 do not stop or the indoor door 12 does not close, the arrival lamp is turned on after 120 seconds and the outdoor door 11 is locked so as not to open.

During the above-mentioned automatic operation, the second storage room 9 can be operated independently. That is, luggage can be put into and taken out of the second storage room 9.

When the baggage passage detector 26 is in the baggage sensing state for 15 seconds or more, the arrival lamp is turned on (since the baggage is jammed on the room I side) and the reception of the baggage is stopped. When the luggage on the luggage passage detector 26 is removed, the state returns to the start button lighting state.

Thereafter, luggage can be loaded into the first storage room 8 in the same procedure as described above. Therefore, if the above procedure is repeated many times, a plurality of packages can be loaded, which is convenient.

If the outdoor door 30 of the second storage room 9 is opened with a dedicated key, the luggage can be taken out from the inlet / outlet port 29. While the door 30 is open, a warning sound is emitted.

After taking out the luggage, the outdoor door 30 is closed by hand. Thereafter, the empty 2 button flashes. When the luggage is not taken out, the arrival button remains lit. A few minutes after the empty 2 button blinks, the start button is turned on.
