Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as embodiments) will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0016]
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a configuration of an electric lock control device according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the electric lock control device 10 has a lock state detection unit 12, which indicates whether the electric lock to be controlled is in a locked state or an unlocked state. A signal is input, and the lock state detection unit 12 detects the locked / unlocked state of the electric lock. In addition, from the electric lock, a signal indicating whether the door on which the electric lock is installed is open or closed is also input to the door open / closed state monitoring unit 14.
[0017]
Further, the electric lock control device 10 is provided with control means 16 for controlling the entire operation. The control unit 16 controls the locking / unlocking control unit 18 to lock or unlock the electric lock according to a predetermined program based on a preset schedule or a usage pattern of the electric lock. The lock signal or the unlock signal is output. The schedule or the program is stored in the storage unit 20. Thus, even if the electric lock installed on the door is locked by the thumb turn during the business hours of the CD / ATM corner, for example, an unlocking signal is automatically transmitted to the electric lock to control the electric lock to be unlocked. It becomes.
[0018]
In the present embodiment, the detection result of the lock / unlock of the electric lock is input from the lock state detection unit 12 and the monitoring result of the door open / close state is input from the door open / close state monitoring unit 14 to the control unit 16. . The control means 16 activates the timer 22 at the time when the lock of the electric lock is detected by the lock state detector 12, and causes a predetermined time to be counted from the time when the lock of the electric lock is detected. When the timer unit 22 detects the elapse of the predetermined time, the control unit 16 determines whether or not to transmit an unlock signal from the locking / unlocking control unit 18 to the electric lock. This determination is made based on the operation mode of the electric lock. The operation mode of the electric lock is, for example, an automatic lock mode when the store is closed, an unlock mode in which the electric lock is unlocked in principle when the store is open, and a room in which the electric lock is installed. When there is a need to work, for example, there is a work mode for replenishing cash or performing maintenance on a CD / ATM. These operation modes are stored in the mode storage unit 24.
[0019]
For example, in the automatic locking mode, the unlock signal is not transmitted to the electric lock even when the predetermined time has elapsed. Alternatively, a configuration may be employed in which the control unit 16 does not activate the timer 22 even when the electric lock is locked.
[0020]
In the unlocking mode, the control means 16 causes the locking / unlocking control unit 18 to transmit an unlocking signal to the electric lock according to the above-described program, and holds the electric lock in the unlocked state. When the electric lock is locked in this state, the predetermined time is measured as described above, and the predetermined time can be appropriately determined according to the usage mode of the electric lock. For example, in the case of an electric lock installed at the door of a CD / ATM corner, in order to prevent a general user from using the CD / ATM for a sufficient period of time and to prevent a vagrant from sitting in the room illegally. It is preferable to set the time to about 3 minutes. When the timing unit 22 detects that the predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 16 causes the locking / unlocking control unit 18 to transmit an unlocking signal to the electric lock, and unlocks the electric lock.
[0021]
Further, when the control means 16 receives the work mode signal from the mode setting device via the LAN interface 26, the control means 16 sets the work mode and maintains the work mode until a release signal is input from the mode setting device. . In this operation mode, even if the electric lock is locked, the control unit 16 determines that the unlocking control unit 18 does not output the unlocking signal. Further, it is also preferable that the control means 16 outputs a locking signal from the locking / unlocking control unit 18 in response to an input from the mode setting device, and the electric lock is set to the locked state. In this case, the locking signal is output after the control unit 16 confirms that the monitoring result from the door opening / closing state monitoring unit 14 is closed. If the locking signal is output while the door is open, the deadbolt of the electric lock projects and the door cannot be closed.
[0022]
The mode setting device is constituted by, for example, a card reader or the like. In this case, a card reader is also installed in the room where the electric lock is installed, and the operator can read a predetermined card when performing an operation, so that the electric lock control device 10 can be set to the operation mode. The work mode can be canceled by reading the predetermined card again at the end of the work. When the work mode is released, the operation mode is shifted to an electric lock operation mode such as an automatic lock mode or an unlock mode according to a preset schedule.
[0023]
The control unit 16 that performs the above operation functions as a determination unit and a mode setting unit according to the present invention. In addition, when the lock state detection unit 12 cannot detect the unlocked state even when the unlock signal is output to the electric lock, or when the lock state detection unit 12 cannot detect the lock state even when the lock signal is output to the electric lock. Then, the control means 16 notifies the external monitoring center of the abnormality via the communication means 28.
