Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage system with adjacent lockers each closed by a door and allowing any user to deposit objects, such as luggage or packages, in a selected locker as well as the removal of these objects at the end of a specified period of occupation of the locker.
  • EP-A-0 065 605 describes a storage system with adjacent lockers controlled by a microprocessor device and according to which a free locker is signaled to the user by a push button with incorporated colored light indicator associated with each locker. The user finds a free locker by examining the indicator lights and presses the corresponding push button. A display indicates the price to be paid and as soon as the balance to be paid has become zero, the microprocessor device activates the electric strike of the selected locker and the user can then open the door of the locker to deposit his luggage.
  • the microprocessor device is arranged to issue a ticket on which is printed in plain text in particular an identification code of the chosen locker, code which is stored in a memory of the microprocessor device and which will allow the user to dial it using a keypad to control the unlocking of the lock of the door of the locker occupied during the baggage claim phase.
  • NL-A-8 501 907 also describes a storage system with adjacent compartments controlled by a microprocessor device.
  • the user wishing to deposit luggage introduces into a coin-operated device the required sum so that he can then dial a personal code using a keyboard then, once this code accepted, the device microprocessor determines the locker to be used according to a given search routine so that the electromagnetic lock of the assigned locker door is unlocked.
  • This known system also includes a microswitch integrated in each locker door lock to signal to the microprocessor device that a door is open or closed.
  • the major drawback of the system described in NL-A-8 501 907 is that the microprocessor device itself allocates a locker to the user and which will not necessarily correspond to that which the user wanted.
  • all the empty locker doors are locked, which results in an overload of work for the microprocessor device which has to unlock them and therefore in a reduction in system reliability.
  • the microswitch used in this known system does not allow not detect a fault with the lock lock on a locker door that occurs despite the complete closing of the door.
  • the present invention aims to eliminate the above drawbacks of known systems by providing a storage system comprising a plurality of adjacent lockers which are each closed by a door; a microprocessor device connected in particular by means of an input / output interface device to locks for opening and closing the doors of the lockers, to indicators indicating the free or occupied state of the lockers, free locker selection keys and a coin-operated device, the microprocessor device also being connected to a display device initially indicating to a user the type of operation, deposit or removal of an object, that it can perform and using a keypad allowing the user to choose one of the two operations envisaged and, when a deposit operation is requested, after having successively deposited an object in an empty locker chosen by the user at from the indications provided by the indicator lights, introduced into the coin mechanism the required sum and transmitted to the microprocessor device via a selection key l information identifying the free locker chosen, to compose a personal secret code chosen by itself and transmitted to the microprocessor device which controls the locking of the lock of the door of the chosen
  • the keypad allows the user to dial his personal code which is compared to the code stored in the memory of the microprocessor device which, after having observed the coincidence between the two codes, controls the unlocking of the door lock of the occupied locker.
  • the free locker selection keys and the keyboard with keys for composing personal codes together form an alpha-numeric keyboard and each personal code composed by the user is preceded by a letter identifying the free locker chosen.
  • the keypad also allows the operator to dial the system of special secret codes transmitted to the microprocessor device authorizing various specific functions such as opening at least one locker door, removing the cash register currency with display on the display device of the amount thereof, the opening of the technical module comprising the microprocessor device.
  • the microprocessor device is adapted to allow the operator to change at least one of the aforementioned special codes using the keypad.
  • the reference 1 designates a storage system with adjacent compartments 2, in this case nine in number, the doors of which, in the closed position, are juxtaposed by extending in the same frontal plane.
  • Each door includes an automatic return device for the latter in the closed closing position.
  • Such return devices are already known per se and can for example be constituted by a return spring disposed coaxially with the hinge of the door and acting between the door and the frame thereof.
  • Each door also comprises a lock fixed to the interior side of the door and the locking and unlocking of which are controlled by a microprocessor device as will be described later.
  • a technical module 3 is assembled on a part of the front of the storage system outside that occupied by the doors 2. As shown, the technical module 3 is arranged at the location of a left upright of the storage system and can be removed by the system operator during, for example, a repair to be carried out in the module. This comprises, from bottom to top, and visible or accessible from the outside, a small poster 4 relating to the instructions for use of the storage system, a table 5 comprising letters of identification for lockers 2 and indicator lights respectively. 5a, for example of the type with light-emitting diodes (LED) associated respectively with the letters of identification of the compartments 2.
  • LED light-emitting diodes
  • Each indicator 5a indicates the free or occupied state of the corresponding compartment, the free state being represented for example by a lit indicator ( green light) while the busy state is represented by an off LED.
  • Below table 5 are successively arranged a slot 6 for inserting a coin and a cancel button 7 authorizing the return of the coin inserted.
  • An alphanumeric display device 8, of the liquid crystal type (LCD), allows the user to dialogue with the storage system with a view to the correct accomplishment of the various operations to be carried out for depositing or withdrawing a '' left luggage.
  • a keyboard with alphabetic keys 9 allows the user to select the free locker that he wishes to use for storing his personal objects and a numeric keyboard with keys 10 allows the user to personally enter a secret code, for example six digits, which, by means of the microprocessor device contained in the technical module 3, controls the locking of the lock of the door of the chosen locker.
  • the numeric keypad 10 further comprises two keys 10a and 10b allowing respectively to validate an action and to delete an action.
  • a coin reimbursement bowl 11 is provided under the numeric keypad 10.
  • the microprocessor 12 is bidirectionally connected to a time base or timer 13, an EPROM memory 14 containing the operating program of the microprocessor 12, an EPROM memory 15 in which various parameters are stored such as for example time values of the base time 13, and two RAMs 16 and 17 for storing the personal codes of users during the operations of depositing objects in the free lockers 2 and special secret codes used by the operator as will be described later.
  • the microprocessor 12 is also bidirectionally connected to buffers or buffers 18 themselves bidirectionally connected to parallel input-output interface circuits 19-24, of which there are very many types such as for example PIA.
  • the interface circuit 19 is bidirectionally connected to the alpha-numeric keypads 9 and 10 while the interface circuit 20 is bidirectionally connected to the display device 8, to an initialization push button 25 accessible only to the operator to allow it a restart procedure in the event of loss of a special secret code of the operator during the performance of a particular function, such as access to at least one of the occupied lockers and to a switch 26 only accessible to the operator for the choice between a paid or free locker.
  • the interface circuit 21 is unidirectionally connected via appropriate control circuits 27 to the indicator lights 5a while the interface circuit 22 is unidirectionally connected via appropriate control circuits 28 to the locking mechanisms 29 and unlocking the door locks.
  • Such mechanisms can be constituted by electromechanical members for actuating the bolts of the locks or by motors whose direction of activation determines the locking or unlocking of the lock.
  • the interface circuit 23 is bidirectionally connected via appropriate control circuits 30 to sensors 31 for detecting the correct closing of the locker doors during the operation of depositing objects and constituted for example by sensors opto-electronics housed either in the door jamb in the case where the lock is secured to the door, or in the door in the case where the lock is fixed to the amount, to a device 32 for canceling the coin mechanism, that is to say operations being paid and to a device 33 for accepting coins.
  • the interface circuit 24 is bidirectionally connected via appropriate control circuits 34 to switches 35 for detecting the break-in of the coin box and of the technical module 3, to a device 36 for validating coins.
  • the storage system of the invention can operate from a 220-volt supply or from a low-voltage 12-volt supply serving as an emergency power supply, for example with batteries.
  • This algorithm highlights two types of functions, a user function and an operator function.
  • table 5 provides information on the free status of lockers identified by lights 5a on (for example green).
  • the display device 8 indicates two operations that can be carried out, namely depositing objects in an empty locker or removing objects from an occupied locker. If the user wishes to deposit objects in a free locker, he presses the key 1 of the keyboard 10. The display device 8 then requests the user to store his objects in an empty locker. Then, the user inserts a coin into the slot 6. This operation causes the display device 8 to indicate to the user the keystroke on the keyboard 9 of the letter corresponding to the locker chosen, indicating to him moreover to validate , using the 10a key, the choice of the locker or possibly correcting with the 10b key the letter identifying the chosen locker.
  • the user dials using the keyboard 10 the six-digit personal secret code which is either validated by the key 10a or erased by the key 10b to allow the user to redial another code.
  • the letter of the chosen locker and the personal code composed by the user are transmitted and stored in one of the random access memories 16 and 17 of the microprocessor device which then controls the locking of the lock of the door of the chosen locker.
  • the opto-electronic sensor associated with the lock of the door of the selected locker makes it possible to signal to the microprocessor device whether the door has been correctly locked or not. If the door is correctly locked, the microprocessor device controls the extinction of the indicator light 5a associated with the identification letter of the chosen locker.
  • the display device 8 In the event of a problem in locking the door lock, the display device 8 indicates to the user to check whether the closing of the door is hampered or prevented. Once the cause interfering with the locking of the door has been eliminated and the door correctly closed, the display device 8 returns to the display phase indicating the choice between a deposit operation or a withdrawal operation.
  • the locker chosen therefore contains the user's objects for a determined period of occupation.
  • the microprocessor device is suitable for comparing the code composed with that memorized in one of the random access memories 16, 17 and, after having noted the coincidence between these two codes, it controls the unlocking of the lock of the door of the occupied locker.
  • the display device 8 instructs the user to remove the objects inside the locker and, if the deposit is free, the coin. Once these operations have been carried out, the microprocessor device controls the lighting of the indicator 5a associated with the emptied locker. In the event that the user has entered the wrong code, the display device 8 tells him to redial his code.
  • the microprocessor device controls the display device 8 which indicates to the user that the system is out of service and recommends that he contact the attendant desk, an alarm, such as for example a siren, which can be triggered by the microprocessor device.
  • an alarm such as for example a siren
  • the microprocessor device controls the display device 8 so that it indicates the phase relating to the choice of a deposit transaction or withdrawal transaction.
  • the purpose of the operator function is to allow an attendant to perform specific functions by means of special secret codes.
  • other operating functions can be envisaged such as the self-test function or the system self-diagnostic function.
  • the attendant To accomplish each of these functions, the attendant must first dial using the alpha-numeric keypad 9, 10, an access code to the operator functions. Then, he must dial the secret code specific to the chosen function. It is not necessary to describe in more detail each of these three functions, the role of which is sufficiently explained on reading the algorithm, except that it can be noted that the attendant has the possibility of changing the function code at will. In addition, if he has forgotten this function code, the attendant can use the initialization press button 25 located inside the cabinet constituting the storage system and which, once activated, allows the microprocessor device to deliver to the display device 8 a general code allowing the attendant to perform the desired function.
  • the storage system according to the invention therefore has the advantage of not issuing to any user tickets on which are printed in particular the secret codes authorizing the withdrawal of objects placed in deposit, thus saving paper and eliminating the need for the operator to monitor the quantity of paper in stock and to restock the system with paper as often as necessary.
