TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is characterized in that each fixture has at least an accommodation portion inside, and includes a regulating member that regulates an approach to the accommodation portion, and a locking / unlocking unit that inhibits opening of the regulation member or cancels the inhibition, The locking / unlocking means relates to a locking / unlocking device for a furniture group including a control unit for locking based on a locking signal transmitted from a remote control terminal and a key receiving unit for changing a locking / unlocking state by a key operation of a mechanical structure. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a locking / unlocking device that can provide a locking / unlocking means on a regulating member such as a door that regulates an approach to a housing part of a fixture to prevent or release the opening of the regulating member, the locking / unlocking means is controlled by a key. There is known a remote control that can be remotely operated from a remote location (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0003]
These locking / unlocking devices are centrally managed by a single ON / OFF switch so that the locking / unlocking means for all fixtures can be locked and unlocked at the same time at the start of work or at the end of work in an office or the like. Since the locking / unlocking state can be changed by a mechanical key operation even after the work has been completed, for example, the overtime worker can freely use the furniture even after the closing time has passed, which is convenient.

[0028]
At the end of the office, the locking operation is performed by the cabinet user in the same manner. However, even if the user leaves the office without being locked, it is locked by turning on all the locking buttons 32 of the operation panel 14 of the central control box 12. You.
[0029]
That is, when the all lock button 32 is turned ON, a lock signal is given to all the electronic locks 6a, 6b, 6c,..., The electronic locks that are not locked are also locked, and the display lamps 8a, 8b, 8c,. Is turned on, and all the locking lamps 28 are turned on.
[0030]
However, if at least one of the doors 2a, 2b, 2c... Of the cabinets 1a, 1b, 1c. The electronic lock of the cabinet in the state cannot be locked. Therefore, the display lamp of the electronic lock is not turned on.
[0031]
Then, if even one of the display lamps of the electronic lock does not turn on after turning on all the lock buttons 32, the all lock lamp 28 does not turn on, and a confirmation lamp group indicates which cabinet of the electronic lock could not be locked. It can be confirmed by turning on the 30 confirmation lamps 30b.
[0032]
Therefore, the observer finds the confirmation lamp 30b in the lit state, confirms the number of the corresponding cabinet, closes the cabinet door surely, operates the all lock button 32 again, and operates the all lock lamp 28. Confirm that is lit.
[0033]
With the keyboard 24 on the operation panel 14, as the number of cabinets increases or decreases, the registration codes of the corresponding cabinets 1a, 1b, 1c... And the electronic lock code attached to the cabinet can be updated and deleted. The operation history and the like can be recorded in the storage unit 38 and can be displayed on the display 22 as needed.
[0034]
The electronic locks 6a, 6b, 6c... Of the cabinets 1a, 1b, 1c... Can be locked and unlocked from a remote position by a remote controller RC owned by a previously authenticated operator. When the signal transmitted from the remote controller RC is received by the receiving antenna 20 arranged on the top plate of the cabinet 1c, it is taken into the main control unit 4 of the central control box 12, and the remote controller RC The electronic locks of the cabinets 1a, 1b, 1c,... Corresponding to the authenticated electronic lock codes of the owners are operated.
[0035]
Therefore, according to the locking / unlocking device as in the above embodiment, the main control unit 4 is provided with the all locking lamp 28 which is turned on when all the electronic locks are locked by operating the all locking button 32. It is possible to confirm whether or not the locking of all cabinets 1a, 1b, 1c... Has been completed at a place (a centralized control room or the like). As a confirmation means, a warning buzzer may be used instead of the all locking lamp 28.
[0036]
Are provided with display lamps 8a, 8b, 8c... For indicating the locked state, so that the main control of each cabinet 1a, 1b, 1c. When it is determined by turning off all the locking lamps 28 that all cabinets cannot be locked when the locking is performed at the same time by a command from the unit 4, the cabinets that are not locked are turned off by the display lamps 8a, 8b, 8c,.・ I just need to find out. In this case, the door open detection switch and the locking signal are combined so that the display lamps 8a, 8b, 8c,. It is.
[0037]
Then, a confirmation lamp group 30 can be provided side by side on the operation panel as a confirmation means. Since the confirmation lamps 30b and the cabinet numbers are arranged so as to have a corresponding relationship, the cabinet numbers that cannot be locked can be immediately confirmed by turning on the confirmation lamps 30b.
[0038]
Further, since the locking and unlocking of each cabinet can be performed by a wireless operation using the remote controller RC, the use form can be given a wide range.
