Description

The present invention relates to a receiving box for receiving articles such as various deliveries.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a receiving box that enables an unmanned receipt of a package delivered by a delivery company. In Patent Literature 1, a delivery person opens a door, stores packages in a box, closes the door, and locks the box with a push lock. When unlocking the door, the consignee would insert the key into the keyhole of the push lock to unlock it.

JP 2018-202052 A

However, in Patent Literature 1, there is a problem that the consignee cannot take out the package unless the door is provided only on the road side of the box. In addition, when unlocking the door, the consignee had to insert the key into the keyhole of the push lock to unlock it, so a key was required.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to enable articles put in from the first door side to be taken out from the second door side, and to open the second door to open the first door. To provide a receiving box whose door can be unlocked.

A representative configuration of the receiving box according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a receiving box for receiving an article, comprising a box body for storing the article and a second box provided to be openable and closable with respect to the box body. a second door facing the first door and capable of being opened and closed with respect to the box body; and the first door and the second door with respect to the box body. a moving member provided movably between; biasing means for biasing the moving member toward the first door; and a state in which the second door is provided in the second door and closed an adsorption means for adsorbing the moving member against the biasing force of the biasing means; a push lock provided on the first door; and a slide shaft of the push lock provided on the box body through which the slide shaft passes the slide shaft has a small-diameter portion and a large-diameter portion larger than the small-diameter portion; the receive seat has a receiving hole through which the slide shaft is inserted; an opening through which the small-diameter portion of the slide shaft can pass and through which the large-diameter portion of the slide shaft cannot pass, the opening being continuous with the receiving hole; attracts the moving member and pushes the slide shaft of the push lock with the first door closed, the large diameter portion moves to the position of the receiving hole and the first door is locked. When the second door is opened and the attraction force of the moving member by the attraction means weakens, the movement member moves toward the first door due to the biasing force of the biasing means, and the movement member moves toward the first door. When the unlocking button of the push lock is pressed, the small diameter portion of the slide shaft moves to the position of the receiving hole, and the small diameter portion can pass through the opening, thereby unlocking the first door. characterized by

According to the present invention, articles put in through the first door can be taken out through the second door, and the first door can be unlocked by opening the second door.

The unlocking button 21a1 is pressed by the tongue piece 24a against the rotational moment that causes the piece 21b to rotate in the direction of arrow b with the end portion 21b2 of the piece 21b as a fulcrum. Then, the peripheral edge portion 21c2 of the through hole 21c1 of the locking piece 21c of the locking member 21 is separated from the groove portion 17d of the slide shaft 17, and the extension force of the coil spring 22 causes the slide shaft 17 to move in the direction of the arrow a2. The E-ring 26 fitted and locked in the groove 17e contacts the side plate 23b so that the position of the slide shaft 17 in the axial direction is fixed with respect to the housing 23. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, when the slide shaft 17 moves in the direction of the arrow a2 and the E-ring 26 comes into contact with the side plate 23b, the position of the slide shaft 17 in the axial direction is fixed with respect to the housing 23. The body portion 17b of the slide shaft 17 moves to the position of the receiving hole 20a of the receiving seat 20 so that the body portion 17b can pass through the opening 20b. As a result, the push lock 15 is unlocked. When the door 3 is opened at this time, the body portion 17b of the slide shaft 17 provided on the door 3 passes through the opening 20b of the receiving hole 20a of the receiving seat 20 provided on the box body 2, and the door 3 is unlocked. .

<Locking the dial lock>
A combination lock 25 is provided on the door 7 on the building side shown in FIGS. To lock the dial lock 25, with the door 7 closed, the knob 25b is rotated about the pivot shaft 25d to rotate the lock arm 25c about the pivot shaft 25d. The locking arm 25c enters both the long hole 27a provided through the locking member 27 provided in the box main body 2 and the long hole 7a1 provided in the frame 7a of the door 7, whereby the door is opened. 7 is locked, the dial 25a is rotated at random, and the locking of the door 7 is completed.

<Unlocking dial lock>
When unlocking the combination lock 25, the dial 25a is rotated to match the preset personal identification number, and then the knob 25b is rotated around the rotation shaft 25d to move the locking arm 25c to the rotation shaft 25d. Rotate to center. Then, the locking arm 25c that has entered both the long hole 27a provided through the locking member 27 provided in the box body 2 and the long hole 7a1 provided in the frame 7a of the door 7 is removed. The door 7 is unlocked by retreating from the long holes 27a and 7a1.

<Locking Door 3>
As shown in FIG. 2, when the door 7 on the building side is closed, the magnet catch 14 provided on the door 7 attracts the moving member 11 against the extension force of the coil spring 12, as shown in FIG. ing. At this time, the end portion 11b of the moving member 11 opposite to the magnet catch 14 shown in FIG.

When the delivery person stores the package in the box body 2, the door 6, which is the outer door on the road side shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, after the door 3, which is the inner door in the unlocked state, is opened and the package is accommodated in the box body 2, the door 3 is closed and exposed to the side surface 3a of the door 3 shown in FIG. Push button 17a is pushed in the direction of arrow a1 shown in FIG.

9 shows the state where the end portion 11b of the moving member 11 presses the unlocking button 21a1 via the tongue piece 24a of the relay member 24, the recipient opens the door 7 on the building side. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the push lock 15 keeps the door 3 unlocked. 11 is attracted to the magnet catch 14 and the end portion 11b of the moving member 11 returns to a position separated from the tongue 24a of the relay member 24 as shown in FIG.

As described above, when the push button 17a of the push lock 15 is pressed and the slide shaft 17 is pushed in the direction of the arrow a1, the push button 17a as the large-diameter portion is pushed into the seat 20 as shown in FIGS. After moving to the position of the receiving hole 20a, the door 3 is locked.

<Unlocking Door 3>
When the recipient takes out the package stored in the box main body 2, he rotates the dial 25a of the dial lock 25 provided on the door 7 on the building side shown in FIGS. , the knob 25b is rotated about the rotation shaft 25d to rotate the locking arm 25c about the rotation shaft 25d. Then, the locking arm 25c that has entered both the long hole 27a provided through the locking member 27 provided in the box body 2 and the long hole 7a1 provided in the frame 7a of the door 7 is retracted. to unlock the door 7.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the recipient opens the door 7 on the building side and the attraction force of the moving member 11 by the magnet catch 14 provided on the door 7 weakens, the urging force of the coil spring 12 causes the moving member to move. 11 moves to the door 3 side indicated by the arrow c direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the end portion 11b of the moving member 11 presses the tongue piece 24a of the relay member 24, and the tongue piece 24a presses the unlocking button 21a1 of the push lock 15, as shown in FIGS. As shown, the body portion 17b as the small diameter portion of the slide shaft 17 moves to the position of the receiving hole 20a, and the door 3 is unlocked when the body portion 17b can pass through the opening 20b.
