Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a post box provided with a post box, an electric appliance and the like.

[Background Art] In some cases, a post provided with a mailbox is erected on the ground outdoors to mount the mailbox. In this structure, the pillar is provided with electric appliances such as an intercom and a lighting fixture so as to have a function as a gate pillar. However, if an electric appliance is provided on the pillar in this way, it is necessary to draw an electric wire for connecting electricity to the power supply inside the appliance house, and wiring work between the house and the pillar is required, and There is a problem that the place where the electric wire can be drawn is limited and the place where the pillar is erected is limited.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mail receiving post that does not require wiring work for electric wires and is not restricted by the standing position. Is.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In the post box according to the present invention, however, the solar cell 3 is rotatably mounted in the vertical and horizontal directions on the upper end of the post 2 provided with the post box 1, and the solar cell 3 is used as a power source. It is characterized in that an electric appliance 4 such as an intercom 4a and a lighting equipment 4b is provided on the support column 2 so that it is not necessary to wire an electric wire by using the solar battery 3 as a power source. The present invention has been achieved, and the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

The pillar 2 is formed of a metal rectangular tube or the like, and is set upright by embedding the lower end in the ground 6 at an outdoor pillar position or the like. A post box 1 is provided on the upper side surface of the pillar 2 as shown in FIG. 1, and an intercom 4a is provided on the front surface of the pillar 2 as an electric appliance 4 on the upper side.
In the lower part, the lighting fixtures 4b are provided respectively. The intercom 4a is formed as a slave that wirelessly communicates with the intercom master in the house, and the lighting fixture 4b is formed so as to illuminate the feet.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a vertical axis 7 which is rotatable in the horizontal direction is provided at the upper end of the column 2 so as to project upward.
A solar cell 3 formed in a panel shape is attached to the upper end of the horizontal axis 8 which is rotatable in the vertical direction. The vertical axis 7 and the horizontal axis 8 are rotationally driven by the operation of a motor (not shown) provided in the column 2. Further, a storage battery (not shown) is provided in the pillar 2, and the solar cell 3 is electrically connected to the electric appliance 4 via the storage battery by the lead wire in the pillar 2.

In this lever, however, the solar cell 3, the electric appliance 4, etc. are previously incorporated in the support column 2, and when the support column 2 is erected, the vertical axis 7 and the horizontal axis 8 are rotationally adjusted so that the solar cell 3 is installed. In the direction of the sun (south), after that, the vertical axis 7 and the horizontal axis 8 are rotated while controlling the vertical axis 7 and the horizontal axis 8 by tracking the sun with the illuminance detection device provided on the support 2 and controlling the timer according to the trajectory of the sun The direction of the solar cell 3 follows the direction of the sun. Then, the energy of the light of the sun is converted into electric energy to be generated by the solar cell 3, and this electricity is temporarily stored in the storage battery and supplied to the electric equipment 4 such as the intercom 4a and the lighting equipment 4b. Therefore, when supplying electric power to the electric appliance 4, it is not necessary to draw an electric wire between the pillar 2 and the power source of the house. Further, since the electricity generated by the solar cell 3 is stored in the storage battery, the electric appliance 4 can be operated by the power supply from the storage battery even at night after the sun has set. In addition to the above, the electric appliance 4 may be a security sensor such as infrared rays.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, the solar battery is attached to the upper end of the pillar provided with the mail box, and the solar battery is used as a power source such as an intercom or a lighting device. Since the electricity is generated by the solar cell, the electric equipment can be operated, there is no need to draw an electric wire between the pillar and the power supply of the house, and wiring work is not necessary and the pillar is installed. The place is no longer restricted. In addition, since the solar cells are attached to the upper ends of the columns so as to be rotatable in the vertical and horizontal directions, the orientation of the solar cells can be adjusted by turning the solar cells so that they face the sun. The power generation by the solar cell can be efficiently performed.
