Description

The present invention relates to a delivery box that can be installed not only indoors but also outdoors, and is intended to provide a rainproof structure for a delivery box that can reliably prevent rainwater from entering the delivery box. is there.

In a residential building called an apartment house or apartment house, a delivery box for joint use is often arranged. Such a delivery box is usually placed in the entrance hall so that the residents in the residential building can easily use it and the manager can easily monitor it. This parcel delivery box is composed of a plurality of storage rooms, and the parcel delivery company puts luggage into the available storage rooms in the parcel delivery box.
On the other hand, a dial lock is arranged on the side of the storage room, and when the storage room is empty, the courier who came to deliver opens the door of the storage room and puts the baggage inside. Next, a predetermined number of PIN numbers are entered and locked with a dial lock, and then the door number and PIN number of the delivery box are entered in the blank of the delivery slip and posted on a post or the like.

The resident of the delivery destination knows that the package has arrived by the delivery slip posted on the post, opens the door by entering the PIN code in the dial lock of the door number entered in the blank of the delivery slip, Remove the luggage from the storage room. Close the door after removing the luggage. As a result, the storage room is in an empty initial state, and luggage for other residents can be stored.

As described above, conventional delivery boxes are often installed in the entrance hall of a residential building. By the way, there is no problem if the entrance hall is originally large, but there may not be enough space in the entrance hall. In that case, it is desirable to install a delivery box outside the residential building, but the conventional delivery box is not considered to be installed outside, and rain not only enters inside but soils the stored items. This may also cause malfunctions such as locking means.

By the way, in JP-A-2002-85246 (see Patent Document 1), a shelf board is provided so as to be freely opened and closed between storage spaces adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, and the movement of the shelf board in a state in which either the upper or lower door is closed. Since the upper and lower doors are each provided with a locking piece for regulating the movement of the shelf plate, the movement of the shelf board can be regulated by the locking piece provided on the door when either the upper or lower door is closed. In this way, because the opening and closing of the shelf board is regulated by a mechanical interlock, the cost can be reduced and the installation can be done outdoors unlike the conventional one with an electronic lock for the shelf board. In addition, a delivery box has been proposed in which the number of places where a rainproof function is applied is reduced, maintenance is easy, and the overall cost can be reduced.

Next, an embodiment of a rainproof structure for a delivery box according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The drawings show an embodiment of the rainproof structure of a delivery box according to the present invention. FIGS. 1 to 6 show the rainproof structure itself, FIGS. 7 to 9 show the mounting process of the flange portion, and FIGS. 12 shows the process of attaching the door to the opening of the storage space, and FIGS. 13 to 15 show the process of unlocking the dial lock and opening the door.
1 and 2, the box body 11 of the delivery box 10 has storage spaces 13A and 13B that are independent from each other by the shelf board 12, and the openings 13a and 13b on the front surfaces of the storage spaces 13A and 13B are individually provided. Doors 14A and 14B are attached to be openable and closable.
As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, the opening portions 13a and 13b of the storage spaces 13A and 13B are provided with an inner wall 15 so as to surround the openings 13a and 13b, and the end portion of the inner wall 15 faces outward. The flange portion 16 is formed by being bent at the end, and the water guide groove 20 is formed by the end surfaces of the openings 13a and 13b, the inner wall 15, and the flange portion 16 raised from the end surface.

Next, the doors 14 </ b> A and 14 </ b> B are formed with an outer wall 21 inwardly accommodating the flange portion 16 and the inner wall 15 along the outer periphery thereof. By forming the outer wall 21 in this way, rainwater and the like can be reliably prevented from entering through the openings 13a and 13b of the storage spaces 13A and 13B when the doors 14A and 14B are closed.
Incidentally, in general, packing is interposed at the contact portion between the doors 14A, 14B and the openings 13a, 13b of the storage spaces 13A, 13B. No packing can be required at all.
Therefore, there is no concern about deterioration of the rainproof function due to aging or damage of the packing, or serious aging.

The opening 13a of the storage space 13A of the box body 11 has a flange 22 at the upper end as shown in FIG. The trough 22 protrudes so as to cover the upper end of the upper door 14A. Even if rainwater concentrates on the upper end of the opening 13a of the storage space 13A, the rainwater concentrates on the upper end of the upper door 14A. Can be relaxed.

On the other hand, the opening 13a of the upper storage space 13A of the box body 11 may not be provided with the inner wall 15 and the flange portion 16 at the bottom.
That is, even if the bottom of the opening 13a of the storage space 13A is opened, rainwater is simply guided to the water guide groove 20 at the upper end of the opening 13b of the lower storage space 13B of the box body 11.

7 to 9 are for explaining a method of attaching the inner wall 15 and the flange portion 16 in the rainproof structure of the delivery box.
That is, a plate-like member 31 formed in advance in an L-shaped cross section is prepared for each of the openings 13a and 13b of the storage spaces 13A and 13B. Such a plate-like member 31 can be easily prepared by pressing a metal plate such as aluminum or stainless steel or molding a functional resin.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, a plate-like member 31 formed in an L-shaped cross section prepared in advance is firstly opened in the order of the upper member 31b, and then the longitudinal members 31a and 31a, as shown in FIG. Are fitted into each side, and each plate-like member 31 is assembled and fixed. FIG. 9 shows a state where the attachment of the plate-like member 31 is completed.
At that time, since the folded portions 31c are formed at both ends of the upper member 31b so as to cover the upper ends of the vertical members 31a and 31a, rainwater flows from the water guide groove 20 formed by the upper member 31b to the vertical members 31a and 31a. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent rainwater and the like from entering through the openings 13a and 13b of the storage spaces 13A and 13B.

10 to 12 show a procedure for attaching the doors 14A and 14B to the openings 13a and 13b of the storage spaces 13A and 13B.
First, as shown in FIG. 10, a hinge 41 is attached in advance to the predetermined positions of the doors 14A and 14B, and the end of the L-shaped connecting plate 42 is inserted through the shaft of the hinge 41 as shown in FIG. The plate 42 is connected so as to be rotatable with respect to the doors 14A and 14B. Thereafter, the connecting plate 42 may be fixed inside the openings 13a and 13b of the storage spaces 13A and 13B.

Next, FIGS. 13 to 15 show an operation procedure of the doors 14A and 14B that can be freely opened and closed.
That is, the doors 14 </ b> A and 14 </ b> B incorporate a dial lock 51 for locking and unlocking, and an upper frame 52 provided on the upper part of the dial lock 51 is pivotally attached to the upper end of the rainproof cover 53. Accordingly, the rainproof cover 53 can be swung back and forth on the front face of the dial lock 51, and can be operated by lifting the lower end during the operation, and when the operation is completed, the dial lock 51 can be simply released. The front surface of the can be closed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 13 to FIG. 15, an operation of delivering a package by a courier and receiving a package by a user (resident) will be described. First, the courier who came to the delivery opens the doors 14A and 14B of the empty storage spaces 13A and 13B, and puts the luggage therein. Next, after a predetermined number of passwords are entered and locked with the dial lock 51, the door number and password of the delivery box 10 are entered in the blank of the delivery slip and posted on a post or the like.

The resident of the delivery destination knows that the package has arrived to him / her by the delivery slip posted on the post. , 14B, and the luggage is taken out of the storage spaces 13A, 13B. After removing the luggage, the doors 14A and 14B are closed. As a result, the storage spaces 13A and 13B are in an empty initial state, so that luggage addressed to other residents can be stored.

In the present invention, the case where the dial lock 51 is employed as the locking means has been described. However, instead of the dial lock 51, a card type using a magnetic card, an IC card (including a non-contact type), a fingerprint, a vein, etc. An authentication type and other electronic locks can also be used, and even in such a case, the rainproof cover 53 is a sufficient rainproof measure.

In the above embodiment, the case of a courier that collects and delivers packages has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to registered mail (including simple registered mail) of a postman. That is, the room number of the delivery destination is input, the door is closed, and the receipt stamp is stamped on the receipt by the receipt stamp section. Instead of the receipt stamp, a specific receipt number or password may be printed out.
