Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

Technical field belonging to the invention

  The present invention relates to a key storage management box and a valuable storage management box used for optical communication equipment, optical information processing equipment, optical analysis equipment, optical power transmission equipment, security equipment, optical power line carrier equipment, and the like.

The storage management box is designed to be able to hang various keys with hooks in a portable case, and the management is managed by human hand or visual inspection, and the key in the case has to be checked each time . For example, in a security company or the like, this is managed with a handwritten slip, and when a key is lost, there is a problem that it cannot be managed.
Since the key management case is portable, it is relatively small, but more than 100 types of keys are stored in the case, and it moves between the site and the office with a heavy case ( It was very inconvenient to check the key ledger at the office.

Problems to be solved by the invention

The conventional management method using the storage management box is to hang on the hook in the case one by one, and it must be left to the hand of the person. It is very inconvenient because the method of entry is adopted, and at the same time, it becomes impossible to manage if there is an omission in the ledger.
The present invention performs electronic management and always knows the state of the key in the case at a glance from the outside. It is also to make a system configuration without any errors.

Means for solving the problem

This case has the following features to solve the conventional problems.
1) An infrared ID tag (slave unit) (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-120088) is used instead of a hook, and an ID collation device using infrared rays is installed and controlled by a controller (master unit) to manage individual keys.
2) When an RF-ID tag is used, radio waves are used, causing problems such as mutual interference and malfunctioning.
3) Since the liquid crystal display and the segment display are attached to the outside of the storage management box, the state of the key inside the storage management box (such as what key is left removed) can be known.
4) A USB connector that can be connected to the host computer is attached to the outside of the storage management box. By connecting this terminal and the host computer, the key management in the storage management box is unified and can be automatically managed.
5) The storage management box is opened and closed by checking the registered ID. When the storage management box is opened, power is turned on to the lock device to which the management key is attached, and power is shut off by closing.
6) This storage management box will warn with a buzzer for a certain time when the storage management box lid is closed (or the red lamp flashes) if you forget to return (forget) even one internal management key. It has become.

FIG. 1 shows a storage management box of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows the system configuration, and FIG. 3 shows the configuration of an individual ID detection device using an infrared ID tag for individual key management.
FIG. 4 shows the configuration and basic principle of an infrared ID tag according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-120088.
An infrared light ID tag according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-120088 is composed of a parent device including an infrared light ID tag child device, a light emitting diode, a light receiving diode, and a controller. When the infrared power is transmitted, the slave unit becomes an operation state with the optical power, and the ID code held by itself is returned to the master unit by the light emitting diode of the slave unit.
The master unit confirms the ID code from the slave unit and simultaneously records it in the controller unit CPU memory.
This operation is repeated sequentially for each management key, and the shortage or removal time of the management key in the storage management box is always recorded and displayed on the segment display outside the storage management box so that it can be seen at a glance from the outside. Is.
The data stored in the management key is written to the infrared light reader / writer and the infrared light IC card. Further, data can be transferred to the host computer via the USB connector, and data is stored in the host computer.

The invention's effect

1) Since the infrared light ID tag is associated with each management key, the state of the management key can always be known.
2) Who has pulled out which management key at what time and what time, but it is recorded in the controller in the case.
3) By simply connecting the storage management box to the office host computer, it can be recorded in the management table on the computer screen and automatically managed.
4) If the management key is forgotten to be returned when the lid of the storage management box is closed, a warning is given with a buzzer sound (or red lamp blinking), so there is no forgetting to return. At the same time, the segment display shows at a glance what key has not been returned.
5) Since there is no need to check each management key used by the past and manual entry of slips, very convenient and accurate key management can be performed.
