When viewing the documents in the lockable storage, the personal authentication is performed by the mobile phone IC chip reader 23 of the personal computer 20, and the personal computer 20 is informed that the user has the access right to the lockable storage. It is necessary to be recognized. When the personal computer 20 recognizes the individual with the mobile phone reader 23, the personal computer 20 transmits an opening permission command for permitting opening of the key storage box to the control unit 15. The control unit 15 stores the data transmitted from the personal computer 20, that is, the identified individual, the key storage box to be opened, the time, the presence / absence of an abnormality, and the like in the access data storage means 75. When the optical sensor 37 no longer detects the key K even though the release permission signal has not been issued, the control unit 15 determines that an abnormality has occurred and stores the date and time in the access data storage means 75. . Although the personal computer 20 also stores the access data, even when a problem occurs in the personal computer 20 and the access data cannot be stored, the control unit 15 stores the access data, so that the security can be further improved.

When receiving the opening permission command, the control unit 15 turns on the LED opening / closing switch 69 of the corresponding key storage box 14. The individual confirms that the LED open / close switch 69 is lit, and operates the LED open / close switch 69 to release the engagement between the lock lever 49 and the pin 47. Thus, the individual can open the outer cover 30 and take out the stored key K to open the door of the lockable storage.
Since the key K is connected to the wire storage box 36 by the wire 35, the key K cannot be taken away. Further, when the wire 35 is cut, the key K is detected, and if the key K is not detected, the lock solenoid 43 does not operate, so that an abnormality can be known on the apparatus side.

  As described in detail above, according to the key storage device of the present embodiment, in the key storage device for storing the key K of the key storages 11, 12, 13 for storing documents, Mounting claws 40, brackets 38, 39 for tightly fastening the outer plates 16 of the storages 11, 12, 13 and fastening, an outer cover 30 for closing the key storage unit main body 32 storing the key K, and the outer cover 30 A key storage box 14 provided with a lock solenoid 43 that locks the closed state, and (b) a personal computer 20 that identifies an individual and transmits an opening permission command for permitting the identified individual to open the key storage box. The control unit 15 is connected and receives a release permission command to drive the lock solenoid 20 of the key storage box 14 and unlock the lock lever 49, so that the existing lockable storages 11, 12, 13 are duplicated. Each key storage box 14 can be provided in the vicinity of the key 17, and the individual key storage box 14 does not require an identification function, and an individual personal computer 20 can be used for identification. An appropriate key storage system can be provided.

In the key storage device of this embodiment, the key storage box 14 is fastened in the vicinity of the key hole 17 of the lockable storages 11, 12, 13, and has a wire 35 that connects the key K and the key storage box 14. So you can save time walking to a key central management box by walking a wasteful distance.
Further, the key storage device of the present embodiment prohibits locking the closed state by driving the lock solenoid 43 when the optical sensor 37 that detects the key K and the optical sensor 37 does not detect the key K. Since the lock prohibition program (S6) is included, an abnormality can be detected when the wire 35 is cut and the key K is stolen.

Further, in the key storage box 14 of the key storage device of the present embodiment, the wire storage box 36 for storing the wire 35 in the key storage box 14 is located inside the outer plate 16 of the lockable storages 11, 12, 13. Since it protrudes, the portion protruding to the outside of the outer plate 16 becomes smaller, so even if it is added to the existing lockable storage 11, 12, 13 by retrofitting work, it is less likely to obstruct traffic etc. it can.
Further, in the key storage box of the key storage device of this embodiment, the lock solenoid 43 is attached to the inner side of the outer plate 16 of the key storage 11, 12, 13, and thus protrudes to the outer side of the outer plate 16. Since the portion becomes small, even when added to the existing lockable storages 11, 12, and 13 by retrofitting work, it is possible to reduce the obstacles such as traffic.

Furthermore, since the personal computer identifies the individual by reading the IC chip built in the mobile phone, the key storage device of the present embodiment does not need to have an extra item. Can increase the sex.
Furthermore, the key storage device of the present embodiment, the key storage box opening and closing control unit, the person who took out the key,
Since the time is stored, it is possible to investigate when a problem such as leakage of personal information occurs. In particular, since the data is stored in the access data storage means 75 on the unit side, not on the personal computer side, it can be used even in a system that does not use a personal computer.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Since the basic configuration and operational effects are the same as in the first embodiment, the same devices are assigned the same numbers as in the first embodiment, and the description is omitted, and only the differences are described. A plurality of personal computers 20A, 20B, and 20C are connected to the server S via the network 80, and are connected to the plurality of control units 15A, 15B, and 15C.
When locked storage such as a library is located on multiple floors of a building, especially important documents that are not normally used may be stored in a document storage located in an underground warehouse. . In this case, when the operation of the first embodiment is performed on the personal computer 20, there is a problem if the previous user cannot be reserved when the previous user already exists and the key is released. That is, if the previous user opens the underground storage and the subsequent user goes to the basement, if the storage is closed, the subsequent user again has the place where the personal computer 20 is located. Until then, it takes time and effort to go again.
In order to avoid this problem, the second user makes a reservation in the second embodiment. That is, when the previous user opens the key storage box, the subsequent user can make a reservation for opening on the personal computer 20. The server can make a reservation by a reservation program programmed in the control unit 15 when an open permission command is issued to the previous user. Thus, when the user goes to the key storage box, the key storage box can be opened even after the previous user closes the key storage box.

The control unit also has a program for turning on the LED opening / closing switch 69 after the first predetermined time has elapsed after receiving the opening permission command from the personal computer 20. Each person registers in advance the movement time from his / her personal computer 20 to the lockable storage to be used as the first predetermined time, so that the other person can enter the LED open / close switch 69 before the person reaches the storage. It is forbidden to obtain a key by operating.
Further, after the LED opening / closing switch 69 is lit, when the second predetermined time elapses, the lighting is automatically stopped and the function of canceling the permission to open the key storage box is provided.
