It is working.

In such an intermediate mechanism 7, when the movable body 5 moves between the first position and the second position, more specifically, the movable body 5 moves to some extent from the first position to the second position. At this time, it plays a role of moving the second member 12 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 between the projecting position shown in FIG. 7 and the retracted position shown in FIG. Therefore, the movable body 5 and the second member 12 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 are connected via the intermediate mechanism 7. As is apparent from FIGS. 5 and 6, the intermediate mechanism 7 is provided on both upper and lower sides of the lock receiving mechanism 6.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the locking mechanism 8 includes a case 21 and a slide bolt that can be retracted between a protruding position (FIG. 9) and a retracted position (FIG. 10) with respect to the case 21. 22, a spring body 23 interposed between the case 21 and the slide bolt 22 inside the case 21, an elongated hole 24 formed in the slide bolt 22 in the extending and retracting direction, and a slide bolt supported by the case 21. 22 is provided with a shaft 25 fitted into the elongated hole 24, a projection 27 provided on the slide bolt 22 corresponding to the projection 26, and the hook hole shown in FIGS.

The locking mechanism 8 is attached to the door body 4B. In the state where the locking mechanism 8 is attached to the door body 4B, when the first member 11 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 moves up and down between the upper and lower positions, the latch portion 14 and the non-latch portion 15 of the lock member 8 are selectively opened. 7 (the position of the non-latch portion 15 in FIG. 7, the position of the latch portion 14 in FIG. 8 corresponds to the height position) and the height position of the slide bolt 22 of the locking mechanism 8. Correspond in the same position.

In FIGS. 2 to 6, reference numeral 30 denotes a water return member having a gutter function, which is arranged around the entire entrance / exit 3b of the article storage chamber 3B. The water return member 30 closes the door body 4B. It is possible to prevent rainwater from being blown into the article storage chamber 3B. A similar water return member 30 is also provided around the entire entrance 3a of the mail receiving room 3A. Further, ventilation holes 31 ..., 32 ... For ventilating the article storage chambers 3A, 3B are formed in the floor plate members 2B, 2C and the back plate portion 1A of the box body 1.

Next, the operation will be described.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, when the movable body 5 is arranged at the first position, the second member 12 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is replaced by the first member 11 as shown in FIG. The first member 11 is lifted to the upper position while overlapping the lower side. Therefore, the non-latch portion 15 of the first member 11 and the slide bolt 22 of the locking mechanism 8 on the door body 4B side correspond to each other, and when the door body 4B is closed, as shown in FIG. Temporarily latch to the latch part 15. In this state, even if the door body 4B is blown by the wind, the fluttering of the door body 4B is suppressed by the temporary latching of the non-latch portion 15 and the slide bolt 22. Further, when the door body 4B is pulled outward from this state and a force in the opening direction is applied, the slide bolt 22 is pushed by the inclined front wall surface 15a of the non-latch portion 15 as shown by a phantom line in FIG. After retracting, the slide bolt 22 is disengaged from the non-latch portion 15, so that the door body 4B can be freely opened by pulling the door body 4B outward as shown by arrow A1 in FIG.

Therefore, for example, the courier will open the door 4B even when the resident is absent, and then push the movable body 5 arranged at the first position toward the second position to move the parcel to the article storage room. It is possible to put it in 3B.

In this embodiment, the movable body 5 is formed by a plate-shaped inner door member that closes the entire entrance / exit 3b of the article storage chamber 3B. It is indispensable to push the movable body 5 arranged at the 1st position to the 2nd position by delivery by hand or by hand. For this reason, when the delivery company puts the delivered product in the article storage chamber 3B, the movable body 5 is always moved from the first position to the second position. Then, due to the forward movement of the movable body 5 as described above, the connecting rod 19 is pushed rearward R by the first projecting piece portion 17 and moved, and the movable body 5 moved toward the second position. At this time, the second member 12 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is pushed rearward R by the connecting rod 19 and moved to the retracted position, and accordingly, the first member 11 is springed as shown by arrow D in FIG. The latching portion 14 of the first member 11 corresponds to the slide bolt 22 of the locking mechanism 8 on the side of the door body 4B by being lowered to the lower position by the elastic urging force of the body 11A. Therefore, when the 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 latched by the latch portion 14 as shown in FIG. Body 4B is locked.

When the door body 4B is locked in this manner, a person who does not have a key for unlocking the locking mechanism 8 cannot open the door body 4B and take out the home delivery. Therefore, the parcel is safely stored in the article storage chamber 3B. When the parcel is stored, the locking unit prevents the movable body 5 from returning.

The parcels stored in the article storage room 3B can be unlocked by a person (for example, a resident) who has a key for unlocking the lock mechanism 8 after performing the unlock operation using the key. The body 4B can be opened and taken out from the article storage chamber 3B. For unlocking operation of the locking mechanism 8, the key is inserted into the hook hole of the hook hole member 28 and the protrusion 26 is rotated together with the hook hole member 28 to retract the slide bolt 22 of the lock mechanism 8 as shown in FIG. When the slide bolt 22 retracts 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 toward the first position after the parcel is taken out from the article storage chamber 3 B, the connecting rod 19 is moved by the second projecting portion 17 as described above. While being pushed forward F and moving to the front F together with the second member 12, the connecting rod 19 is fitted between the first projecting piece 17 and the second projecting piece 18 during the movement. Then, when the above-mentioned second member 12 moves to the front F, the second member 12 slips into the lower side of the first member 11 by the action of the guide surfaces 11a and 12a of the first member 11 and the second member 12. Therefore, the second member 12 overlaps the lower side of the first member 11, the first member 11 is pushed up to the upper position as indicated by the arrow U in FIG. 7, and the non-latch portion 15 corresponds to the sliding bolt 22 of the locking mechanism 8. To be done. This makes it possible to receive the next delivery.

By the way, in the article receiving box, it is useful to know from the outside whether or not articles are stored in the article storage chamber 3B. Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the first member 11 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is provided with a display 40 indicating that it is in use and empty, and the case 13 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is provided. The door body 4B is provided with peep windows 41 and 42 through which the display 40 can be peeped. Therefore, when the peep windows 41, 42 indicate that no articles are stored in the article storage chamber 3B (FIG. 5), the courier looks at the display 40 and displays the articles in the article storage chamber 3B. The article can be stored, and the resident can take out the article when the viewing windows 41 and 42 indicate that the article is stored in the article storage chamber 3B (FIG. 6). Things will come.

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

In the article receiving box of the present invention, it is not always necessary to form the movable body 5 by a plate-shaped inner door member that covers the entire entrance / exit 3b of the article storage chamber 3B, for example, floor plate members 2A and 2B. It may be formed of a horizontally long plate or a bar having a small width that is reciprocated between the first position and the second position at the intermediate position. In addition, as a method of moving the movable body 5 back after taking out the article from the article storage chamber 3B, a method of manually moving the movable body 5 by a person who takes out the article or a method in which the movable body 5 has a weak elastic force is used. There is a method of always urging the spring body in the backward direction. On the other hand, in the above embodiment, although the first member 11 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is always elastically urged downward by the spring body 11A, the spring body 11A is omitted and the weight of the first member 11 itself increases. The first member 11 may be always biased downward.

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

That is, in 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 so that the movable body moves from the second position to the first position. It is possible to employ a configuration in which the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the protruding position to the retracted position when moving to the position.

With respect to the lock receiving mechanism, it is possible that the second member of the lock receiving mechanism overlaps the upper side of the first member at the protruding position, and in this case, the first member is always elastically biased upward. An elastically 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 is appropriately changed depending on which configuration is adopted for the intermediate mechanism or the lock receiving mechanism. The mode of modification for this purpose has been described separately in (1) to (4) in the section of means for solving the above-mentioned problems, and therefore will be omitted 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 an upper end portion swingably supported by a front horizontal shaft 9 '. The intermediate mechanism 7 shown in the figure is formed by the above-mentioned connecting rod 19, the lateral shaft 31 provided on the connecting rod 19, and the flange portion 32 provided at the side end of the movable body 5. The horizontal shaft body 31 is fitted in the long hole 33.

According to such an intermediate mechanism 7, when the movable body 5 moves between the first position (the position shown by the solid line) and the second position (the position shown by the phantom line), The lateral bearing 31 fitted in the long hole 33 and the connecting rod 19 are moved back and forth within 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 the inside of the article storage chamber back and forth. The intermediate mechanism 7 in the figure includes the above-mentioned connecting rod 19, a pin 36 provided on the flange portion 35 of the movable body 5, and a link 38 having a long hole 37 into which the pin 36 is fitted. Thus, one end of the link 38 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 19.

Even when the movable body 5 moves between the first position (position shown by phantom line B) and the second position (position shown by phantom line B) also by such an intermediate mechanism 7. Accordingly, the pin 36 fitted in the elongated hole 37 pulls the link 38 to move the connecting rod 19 back and forth within the range of L 2. The long hole 37 of the link 38 in the intermediate mechanism 7 is means for giving play to the reciprocating motion of the movable body 5. Therefore, according to the intermediate mechanism 7, the stroke of the connecting rod 19 (that is, the second member of the lock mechanism) can be shortened while the reciprocating stroke of the movable body 5 can be lengthened.

The intermediate mechanism 7 may be configured by using a cam in addition to the above-mentioned ones. In short, the intermediate mechanism 7 is used when the movable body moves between the first position and the second position. Any configuration may be used as long as the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved between the protruding position and the retracted position.
