Description
AN INTELLEIGENT DEVICE FOR MAILBOXES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to the field of intelligent hardware, in particular to an intelligent device which can be retrofitted into a mailbox.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Mailboxes are the main tool for families and companies to receive letters.
With the development of Internet, the e-mail has gradually replaced the function of traditional mailboxes, resulting in the decrease of the use of traditional paper letters.
However, in today's society, the mailbox still plays an important role in our life because there are still a considerable number of important documents that need to be delivered through the paper mail channels. At present, the main problems for the traditional mailbox are not easy to check and no pick-up reminder. The intelligent express cabinet and intelligent mailbox in the market are expensive and difficult for installation such that most users choose not to upgrade the mailbox and continue to use the traditional mailbox, which also causes users to easily miss important letters and has a negative impact on their life and work.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an intelligent device that can be retrofitted into a mailbox in order to solve the problem that the mailbox in the existing technology cannot remind the user to pick up letters and the replacement cost is high, so as to avoid the user missing important letters.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention provides the following technical solutions.
An intelligent device that can be retrofitted into a mailbox, which comprises a host, a sensor and communication wire.
Further, the said host is provided with a fixing device which is detachably installed on the inner side of the mailbox. The said sensor is installed on the inner side of the mailbox through the sensor fixtures, and is connected with the host through the communication wire.
Further, the host comprises a controller, a power supply device, internal communication wire and a wireless signal transmitting device. The said sensor detects the input of letters, sends the signal to the said controller, and the said controller controls the wireless signal transmitting device to send reminder message to the user's mobile phone.
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-06-12 Further, the said controller can be a microcontroller.
Further, the said sensors may be multiple.
Further, the said sensor can be photosensitive resistance, varistor, photoelectric sensor, etc.
Further, the said power supply device is a battery box, and the user can replace the battery as needed.
Further, the said wireless signal transmitting device can be connected to an operator's network or a wireless network.
Further, the invention also comprises a light, which will be on when there is a letter to be picked up.
Further, the said reminder message can be sent in one or more forms of short message, telephone and software reminder.
The intelligent device retrofitted into the mailbox provided by the invention can enable users to upgrade their traditional mailbox to intelligent mailbox in a low-cost and simple way, so that users can get the change of the state in the mailbox at the first time and avoid missing important mails.
