[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an article receiving box for receiving articles such as parcels.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 This type of courier enables delivery of goods by a courier even when the resident is absent and at the same time the courier can be safely stored and the resident can retrieve the stored goods at any time. Occasionally an item receiving box is used. In such an article receiving box, when no articles are stored in the box body forming the article storage room, the courier can store the delivered article in the article storage room, and the article delivery box can be delivered to the article storage box. It is required that no one other than the resident access the item when the item is stored.

As an article receiving box capable of coping with this request, it is electrically detected whether or not articles are stored in the article storage chamber, and based on the detection signal, a door provided at the entrance / exit of the article storage chamber. It was known to control the locking and unlocking of the.

On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-37589, a cradle supported by a spring force is provided in an article storage chamber, and a lock mechanism is provided on a door body provided at an entrance / exit of the article storage chamber. An article receiving box with a latch hole that allows the slide bolt on the locking mechanism side to be inserted and removed only when the cradle is lowered against the spring force due to the weight of the article is described at the fixed position.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above-mentioned article receiving box that employs an electric control method for locking the door is not suitable for outdoor installation because it requires electrical work for installation and may cause disconnection.

The article receiving box of Japanese Patent Application No. 4-37589 adopts a weight sensor system using a spring for locking the door, and the strength of the spring supporting the cradle is increased to improve the durability of the spring. If the height is increased, the sensitivity of the lowering operation of the cradle when storing the article in the article storage chamber decreases, and when the lightweight article is stored, the cradle lowering operation may not be performed reliably and may not be locked. . If the spring force is reduced to improve the sensitivity of the lowering movement of the pedestal in order to eliminate this, the durability of the spring itself deteriorates.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by adopting a method of detecting that an article has been placed in the article storage chamber for locking the door, electrical work is not required, It is an object of the present invention to provide an article receiving box in which an item can be securely locked regardless of the weight of the item when the item is placed in the accommodation room.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The article receiving box of the present invention corresponds to the article receiving / exiting port centered on the box main body that forms the article accommodating chamber with a front entrance / exit and the pivot point provided in the vicinity of the above-mentioned inlet / outlet opening. It is possible to move horizontally from the 1st position to the 2nd position, which is the position inside the article storage chamber and avoids the placement part of the article, and the horizontal return from the 2nd position to the 1st position is possible. A movable body and one leg extending from the intermediate portion is supported on the movable body side, the other leg extending from the intermediate portion is supported by the box body, and the intermediate portion is bent in a V shape. When the movable body is reciprocated between the first position and the second position, the supporting point of the one leg on the movable body is on the line connecting the supporting point of the other leg to the box body and the pivot point. It is designed to be displaced beyond the neutral point, and with one leg Spring body that is elastically urged in a direction in which one leg is always open, a door body that horizontally swings and opens and closes the loading / unloading port of the article storage chamber outside the first position, and a slide that can be retracted / removed. The locking mechanism in which the bolt is normally protruded by the elastic urging force, the first member that can move up and down between the upper and lower positions, the protruding position where the first member overlaps in the vertical direction, and the vertical position that overlaps the first member in the vertical direction A second member for moving up and down the first member, which is movable between mutually disengaged retracted positions, and a latch portion for locking the slide bolt of the locking mechanism and the slide bolt are hooked on the first member. A lock receiving mechanism in which a non-latch portion that does not stop is arranged side by side in the vertical direction, the locking mechanism is attached to the door body, the lock receiving mechanism is attached to the box body, and the first member of the lock receiving mechanism is provided. Moves up and down between two positions When the latching part and the non-latching part are selectively located, the height position and the height position of the slide bolt of the locking mechanism are made to correspond to each other, and the movable body is set to the first position and the second position. 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 lock receiving mechanism between the protruding position and the retracted position when moving between them. .

In this article receiving box, there are the following two specific 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 protruding position to the retracted position so that the movable body moves from the second position to the first position. When moving, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the retracted position to the projected 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 so that the movable body moves from the second position to the first position. When moving, the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is moved from the protruding position to the retracted position.

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 protruding position. In the latter case, the first member faces upward. However, in the former case, the first member is always urged downward due to its own weight. The biasing member is not always necessary.

Then, the specific vertical positional relationship between the latch portion and the non-latch portion provided side by side in the lock receiving mechanism is as follows (1) to (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 protruding position, the latch portion is above. The non-latch part is on the bottom. (2) When the intermediate mechanism has the above-described first concrete 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 The latch is on top. (3) When the intermediate mechanism has the above-described second concrete structure and the second member of the lock receiving mechanism is configured to overlap the lower side of the first member at its protruding position, the latch portion is below. The non-latch part is on top. (4) When the intermediate mechanism has the above-mentioned second concrete structure 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 The latch is down.

[0014]

[Action]

 In the article receiving box of the present invention, the operation when the specific vertical positional relationship between the latch portion and the non-latch portion provided side by side with the lock receiving mechanism corresponds to the above (1) will be described.

When the article is not 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 It has risen 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 body. Therefore, the door can be freely opened. Further, the movable body is biased in the backward direction by the force of the spring body, and is securely held at the first position corresponding to the loading / unloading port of the article storage chamber.

When the movable body is arranged at the first position and the door body is opened to put the article into the article storage chamber of the box body, the movable body is pushed by the article or manually to move the second body around the pivot point. Move forward to the position. In the initial stage when the movable body is moved forward in this way, the movable body urged in the backward direction by the force of the spring body moves forward against the force of the spring body. When the spring body is moved to a certain extent, the spring body is displaced by the displacement of one leg support point beyond the neutral point on the line connecting the support point of the other leg to the box body and the pivot point. The direction of biasing by the force of the is reversed to the direction of moving the movable body, and the movable body is biased in the forward direction by the force of the spring body to surely move forward to the second position. Securely retained.

Therefore, the second member that overlaps with the lower side of the first member of the lock receiving mechanism is reliably moved to the retracted position by the operation of the intermediate mechanism, and accordingly, the first member descends to the lower position. The latch portion of the first member corresponds to the height position of the slide bolt of the lock 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 locks on the latch portion and the door is locked.

To unlock the door body, the movable body is returned from the second position to the first position. That is, when the movable body in the second position is pushed back toward the first position with the pivot point as the center, the movable body urged in the forward direction by the force of the spring body in the initial stage. The body is moved back against the force of the spring body, but at the stage where the movable body is moved back to a certain extent, the supporting point of one leg of the spring body exceeds the above neutral point and comes from the second position side. By displacing to the 1st position side, the biasing direction by the force of the spring body is reversed to the direction to return the movable body, and the movable body is biased in the returning direction by the force of the spring body to the 1st position. Will definitely move back. Then, when the movable body returns to the first position, the second member is reliably moved to the forward position by the operation of the intermediate mechanism, and accordingly, the first member rises to the upper position and the first member is not moved. The latching part and the height position of the slide bolt of the locking mechanism attached to the door correspond to the unlocked state. The door can be opened in this state.

Even in the case where the specific vertical positional relationship between the latch portion and the non-latch portion provided side by side in the lock receiving mechanism corresponds to the above-mentioned (2) to (4), the same operation as described above is applied. The work is done.

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

When the movable body is moved from the first position to the second position or when the movable body is returned from the second position to the first position, the force of the spring body reliably moves the movable body to the second position. Or return to the 1st position. Then, when the movable body is located at the first position, the non-latch portion of the first member and the height position of the slide bolt of the locking mechanism attached to the door body correspond to each other, and the movable body is located at the second position. When it is located, the latching portion of the first member and the height position of the slide bolt of the locking mechanism correspond to each other to be locked.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 13 and FIG. 15, the non-latch portion 15 is composed of the bulging portion formed on the first member 11.

The lock receiving mechanism 6 having the above-described structure is attached to the box body 1 by using attachment flanges 13 a and 13 b provided on the case 13.

As shown in detail in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the intermediate mechanism 7 includes a first projecting piece portion 17 and a second projecting piece portion 18 which are projected from the base portion 16 in a parallel branch shape at a distance. It has a connecting rod 19 fixed vertically to the second member of the lock receiving mechanism 6, the base portion 16 is rotatably supported by the vertical axis 9, and the tip of the first projecting piece portion 17 is provided. An inclined guide surface 17a is provided in the portion, and a second protruding piece portion 18 that is located on the opposite side of the movable body 5 across the first protruding piece portion 17 is extended to the back surface side of the movable body 5. The mounting flange portion 18a of the extended end portion is fixed to the movable body 5, and the connecting rod 19 corresponds to the first projecting piece portion 17 and the second projecting piece portion 18.

The connecting rod 19 is fitted between the first projecting piece portion 17 and the second projecting piece portion 18 when the movable body 5 is moved forward from the first position to the second position. In this state, it is pushed rearward R by the first projecting piece portion 17 and moves rearwardly R together with the second member 12, and immediately before the movable body 5 reaches its second position, the first projecting piece portion 17 and the second projecting piece portion 17 move. It comes out from between the piece portion 18 and separates from the first projecting piece portion 17. On the contrary, when the movable body 5 is returned from the second position to the first position, the connecting rod 19 is pushed forward F by the second projecting piece 18 and is moved forward together with the second member 12. It moves to F and fits between the first protruding piece portion 17 and the second protruding piece portion 18 during the movement. The connecting rod 19 is projected upward and downward of the case 13 through an elongated front and rear long hole 13c formed in the case 13 of the lock mechanism 6, and the elongated hole 13c guides the connecting rod 19 forward and backward. 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. 9 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. 7 and 8, the intermediate mechanism 7 is provided on both upper and lower sides of the lock receiving mechanism 6.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the locking mechanism 8 includes a case 21 and a slide ball that can be retracted between a protruding position (FIG. 11) and a retracted position (FIG. 12) of 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 retracting direction, and a slide bolt supported by the case 21. 22 and 22, a protrusion 26 provided on the shaft 25 fitted into the elongated hole 24, a protrusion 27 provided on the slide bolt 22 corresponding to the protrusion 26, and FIGS. It is equipped with the hook member 28 shown in FIG. 8 and the like, and the elastic urging force of the spring body 23 always holds the slide bolt 22 at the projecting position as shown in FIG. When rotating the member 28 The slide bolt 22 is retracted against the elastic urging force of the spring body 23 by performing an unlocking operation or an unlocking action accompanied by the return movement of the movable body 5 which will be described later. There is. The slide bolt 22 is provided with inclined guide surfaces 22a and 22b on its inner side surface and lower side surface, respectively, at its tip.

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. At the height position (the position of the non-latch portion 15 in FIG. 9 corresponds to the position of the latch portion 14 in FIG. 10) and the height position of the slide bolt 22 of the locking mechanism 8. Corresponding at the same position.

2 to 4 and 6 to 8, reference numeral 30 denotes a water return member having a gutter function, which is arranged around the entire inlet / outlet opening 3b of the article storage chamber 3B. This prevents rainwater from being blown into the article storage chamber 3B with the door 4B closed. A similar water return member 30 is also provided around the entire entrance / exit opening 3a of the mail receiving room 3A. Further, ventilation holes 31 ..., 32 ... For ventilating the article accommodating 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, 6, and 7, when the movable body 5 is arranged in the first position, the second member 12 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is arranged as shown in FIG. The first member 11 is raised to the upper position while overlapping with the lower side of the first member 11. 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, the slide bolt 22 is moved as shown in FIG. It makes elastic contact with the non-latch portion 15. In this state, even if the door body 4B is blown by the wind, the flap of the door body 4B is suppressed by the elastic contact between the non-latching portion 15 and the slide bolt 22. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, since the magnet 60 is provided on the side of the box body 1 corresponding to the door body 4B in the closed position, the slide bolt 22 can be slid onto the non-latch portion 15. Due to both the contact and the magnet 60 attracting the door body 4B, fluttering of the door body 4B due to wind is reliably suppressed. When the door body 4B is pulled outward from the closed state of the door 4B and a force in the opening direction is applied, the slide bolt 22 slides on the non-latch portion 15 to separate it from the non-latch portion 15 as shown by a virtual line in FIG. Therefore, by pulling the door body 4B outward, the door body 4B can be freely opened as indicated by arrow A1 in FIG.

Further, when the movable body 5 is located at the first position, the spring body 40 is in the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, so that the movable body 5 is moved in the backward direction by the force of the spring body 40. And is securely held in the first position.

Therefore, for example, a 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, since the movable body 5 is formed by the plate-shaped inner door member in the form of closing the entire loading / unloading port 3b of the article storage chamber 3B, in order to enter the parcel into the article storage chamber 3B. It is indispensable to push in the movable body 5 arranged in the first position with a delivered product or by hand. For this reason, when the courier 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. In the initial stage in which the movable body 5 is moved forward in this way, the movable body 5 is urged by the force of the spring body 40 in the backward movement direction (indicated by arrow B1 in FIGS. 3 and 4). Is moved forward against the force of the spring body 5, but the stage where the movable body 5 is moved forward to a certain degree, that is, the supporting point (position of the screw 43) of one leg 42 of the spring body 40 is the above line. By displacing beyond the neutral point N on L, the direction of biasing by the force of the spring body 40 is reversed to the direction in which the movable body 5 is moved forward (indicated by arrow B2 in FIGS. 3 and 4). Then, the movable body 5 is urged by the force of the spring body 40 in the forward movement direction B2 to reliably move forward to the second position, and is securely held in the second position.

By the forward movement of the movable body 5 as described above, the connecting rod 19 is pushed rearward R by the first projecting piece 17 and moves to the retracted position together with the second member 12 of the lock receiving mechanism 6, Along with that, the first member 11 is lowered to the lower position by the elastic urging force of the spring body 11A as indicated by arrow D in FIG. 10, and the latch portion 14 of the first member 11 is locked by the locking mechanism on the door body 4B side. It corresponds to the slide bolt 22 of. 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. The door 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 delivered product. Therefore, the parcel is safely stored in the article storage chamber 3B.

The parcels stored in the article storage chamber 3B are provided after the person (for example, a resident) who has a key for unlocking the locking mechanism 8 uses the key to unlock the door. The body 4B can be opened and taken out from the article storage chamber 3B. The unlocking operation of the locking mechanism 8 is performed by inserting a key into the hook hole of the hook member 28 and rotating the protrusion 26 together with the hook member 28 to retract the slide bolt 22 of the lock mechanism 8 as shown in FIG. When the slide bolt 22 is retracted as shown in FIG. 12, 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 home delivery is taken out from the article storage chamber 3B, the forward movement is performed by the force of the spring body 40 in the initial stage. The movable body 5 biased in the direction B2 is moved back against the force of the spring body 40, but when the movable body 5 is moved back to a certain extent, one leg 42 of the spring body 40 is supported. When the position (position of the screw 43) is displaced from the second position side to the first position side beyond the neutral point N, the biasing direction by the force of the spring body 40 causes the movable body 5 to move in the backward direction B1. Then, the movable body 5 is biased in the backward movement direction B1 by the force of the spring body 40 and surely returns to the first position. In this way, when the movable body 5 returns to the first position, the connecting rod 19 is pushed forward F by the second projecting piece 17 and moves forward F together with the second member 12, and during the movement thereof. The connecting rod 19 is fitted between the first projecting piece portion 17 and the second projecting piece portion 18. When the second member 12 moves forward F, the guide members 11 a and 12 a of the first member 11 and the second member 12 cause the second member 12 to slip into the lower side of the first member 11. The second member 12 is overlapped on 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-latching portion 15 is attached to the slide bolt 22 of the locking mechanism 8. Corresponding. This makes it possible to receive the next delivery.

In the above-described embodiment, there is an inconvenience that the articles stored in the article storage chamber 3B can be taken out only by the one having the key.

In order to eliminate this inconvenience, it is effective to install the box body 1 over the outside and the inside of the house and to provide an outlet in the back plate portion 1A of the box body 1. Is. By doing so, the articles can be stored in the article storage chamber 3B from the outside and can be taken out from the room, so that the articles can be taken out without holding the key. With such a structure, the hook member 28, the protruding piece 26, and the like in the locking mechanism 8 described above are not indispensable, and there is an advantage that the locking mechanism 8 is inexpensive.

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. 7 to 10, the first member 11 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is provided with a display 50 indicating that it is in use and empty, and the case 13 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is provided. Viewing windows 51 and 52 through which the display 50 can be seen are formed on the door body 4B. Therefore, when the peep windows 51, 52 indicate that no articles are stored in the article storage chamber 3B (FIG. 7), the courier looks at the display 50 and sees the article storage chamber 3B. The article can be stored in the container, and when the resident window 51, 52 indicates that the article is stored in the article storage chamber 3B (FIG. 8), the resident can take out the article. Will come.

The handling of the home delivery by the delivery company has been described above, but the articles that can be handled in 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 material that covers the entire loading / unloading opening 3b of the article storage chamber 3B. For example, floor board materials 2A and 2B. It may be formed of a horizontally long plate or bar having a small width that is reciprocated between the first position and the second position at the intermediate position. On the other hand, although the first member 11 of the lock receiving mechanism 6 is always elastically urged downward by the spring body 11A in the above embodiment, the spring body 11A is omitted and the first member 11 itself is omitted. The first member 11 may be constantly urged downward by weight.

The article receiving box of the present invention can be implemented in the following modes other than 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.

The intermediate mechanism 7 may be configured by using a cam in addition to the above-described 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.

[Effect of device]

 In the article receiving box of the present invention, the movable body is always moved forward from the first position to the second position when the article is put in the article storage chamber, and the forward movement is caused by the action of the spring body. Is locked until the second position is reached, and the lock receiving mechanism is switched to the lockable state in conjunction with the movement of the movable body at that time, so if the door body is closed after the articles are stored, the door body is locked. Is surely done. Therefore, there is an effect that electrical work is not required for locking the door body, and that when the article is placed in the article storage chamber, the door can be securely locked regardless of the weight of the article.

Further, the return of the movable body from the second position to the first position is reliably performed by the action of the spring body until the movable body reaches the first position, and the door body is interlocked with the movement of the movable body. There is an effect that the lock of is surely released.

Therefore, the article receiving box of the present invention can be used as a receiving box for home delivery when a resident is not present, or for delivering sake, soy sauce, laundry, etc., regardless of whether the installation location is outdoors or indoors. Very useful as a receiving box for goods.
