Description

  The present invention relates to a locker device.

  The thing of patent document 1 is known as a locker apparatus using a card lock. In this conventional example, the card lock includes a cylinder lock that operates a lock plate that is locked to the frame of the locker, a stopper that restricts the operation of the lock plate and restricts the locking / unlocking operation by the cylinder lock, A release mechanism for releasing the restraint of the lock plate by the stopper portion by insertion is provided.

  When the locker is used, first, when a pre-distributed key card is inserted into the card lock, the lock plate is released and the lock / unlock operation using the cylinder lock becomes possible. After the luggage is stored in the locker, when the cylinder lock is locked and the unlock key for operating the cylinder lock is pulled out, the unlocking operation by a user other than the user becomes impossible. In order to open the locker again using a facility or the like, the locker is first opened using the unlock key, and then the key card is removed to return to the initial state.

  However, in the above-described conventional example, the locker user may lose the unlocking key in order to possess the unlocking key of the cylinder lock when using the locker. When the locker is lost, it is necessary to replace the entire cylinder lock. Therefore, there is a drawback that the current return cost is increased.

  This problem can be solved, for example, by using the card lock described in Patent Document 2, but in this case, there is the following problem. That is, the card lock described in Patent Document 2 is configured to unlock the locking body by inserting a key card adapted to a cord forming card having appropriate rigidity. The key card is, for example, a synthetic resin. Since it is formed of a plate of material, the acquisition cost is lower than that of the unlocking key, and further, replacement of the cylinder lock due to the loss of the unlocking key is not required. Although there is an advantage that the current return cost is low, it is necessary to destroy the card lock or the door when the key card is lost.

In addition, when the locker is assumed to be used by a relatively small number of users such as members, it is not a problem to return the luggage to the user by destroying the door etc. when the key card is lost. In the event of a large-scale event involving the participation of the general public, the key card may be lost frequently and the use of lockers is expected to be concentrated in a short time. There is a problem that the work of destroying and returning the luggage to the locker user adversely affects the smooth operation of the event.
JP 2003-74225 A Utility Model Registration No. 3099121

  The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a locker device that makes the most of the advantages of a card lock and can be used for large-scale events.

  Since the locker device using the card lock using the key card 6 and the code forming card 5 can easily change the code without exchanging the cylinder lock, the replacement cost when the key card 6 is lost is reduced. In addition, the key card 6 is cheaper than the unlock key used for the cylinder lock and has a wide display surface. For example, the event name is printed on the key card 6 and used after the event ends A service such as handing over the key card 6 as a souvenir to a person can be realized at a low cost.

  As described above, the locker device using the card lock is suitable for use in a large-scale event or the like, but as it is, there is a problem in the response time for the loss of the key card 6 as described above. .

  Based on the above recognition, the present invention provides a locker device that can be used for a large-scale event or the like by combining a card lock and emergency unlocking means.

  That is, in the present invention, the card lock device 7 and the auxiliary lock device 10 are fixed to the door body 3 that closes the opening of the luggage storage chamber 1, and the lock and unlocking of the door body 3 by the locker user is mounted in advance. This is performed using a card lock device 7 that can be unlocked by inserting a key card 6 that matches the code forming card 5. The key card 6 delivered to the locker user is not only cheaper than the unlocking key used for the cylinder lock, but also has a large surface area, so that it can be used as an advertising medium.

  A card insertion slit 9 communicating with the card insertion portion 8 of the card lock device 7 is formed in the door body 3. When the genuine key card 6 is inserted from the card insertion slit 9 and the unlocking operation is performed, the locker The locking of the locking body 4 to the housing 2 is released, and the door 3 can be opened.

  The door body 3 can be formed of a metal plate material such as a sheet metal or a synthetic resin material. In the present invention, the door body 3 covers the entire surface of the card lock device 7 with the door body 3. By forming it with a metal plate material such as a sheet metal having a thickness, the card lock device 7 can be substantially protected, and the crime prevention performance can be enhanced.

  The auxiliary lock device 10 allows the door body 3 to be opened in an emergency, such as when the key card 6 is lost, and the lock body 4 of the card lock device 7 is forcibly unlocked by the unlocking operation. Can be moved to the side. In the present invention provided with the emergency unlocking means by the auxiliary lock device 10, even if the key card 6 is lost, the locker administrator operates the auxiliary lock device 10 and simply opens the door to the user. In addition, since the code forming card 5 can be replaced and newly operated, the advantage of using the card lock device 7 can be maximized.

  As the auxiliary lock device 10, various devices including the card lock device 7 can be used. However, since the auxiliary lock device 10 is relatively inexpensive and has an appearance different from that of the access unit of the card lock device 7, an access at the time of use by the user is possible. It is desirable to use a cylinder lock that can prevent confusion of the parts. The locking body 4 can be driven by the cylinder lock by pushing the locking body 4 by a lever 14 connected to a plug of the cylinder lock, and the locking body 4 has an interference pin 13 that interferes with the rotation operation of the lever 14. Is established. If this interference pin 13 is arranged outside the lock case 12 of the card lock device 7, the shape of the lever 14 of the cylinder lock, or the tip of the lock body 4 if necessary, without changing the internal structure of the card lock device 7. Since the positional relationship between the card lock device 7 and the cylinder lock can be freely changed and set only by changing, the degree of freedom in arrangement increases.

  Further, if the unlock codes of the auxiliary lock devices 10 fixed to the door body 3 that closes the plurality of luggage storage chambers 1 formed in the locker casing 2 are matched, the event operator can lock the locker casing. The emergency opening of the plurality of door bodies 3 is possible only by managing a common unlocking key or the like for each body 2 or for each locker casing group constituted by a plurality of locker casings 2.

  Furthermore, if a biasing force in the opening direction is applied to the door body 3, the door body 3 is opened at a predetermined angle in accordance with the unlocking operation of the locking body 4. Need not be provided. By utilizing this, the surface of the door body 3 is formed by a flat surface that does not have irregularities that become a hook allowance when the opening operation force is applied, and at least the opening / closing edge wall of the door body 3 and When an orthogonal side wall, that is, a peripheral edge excluding the peripheral edge where the rotary hinge is arranged, is surrounded by the wall surface of the frame portion 15 formed in the rocker housing 2, an improper opening operation force may be applied to the door body 3. Because it becomes impossible, crime prevention performance improves more.

  According to the present invention, the advantages of the card lock device can be maximized and can be used for a large-scale event or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the locker device is formed by closing an opening of a luggage storage chamber 1 formed in a locker housing 2 by a door body 3 that is rotatable around a hinge 3a. FIG. 1 shows a case where 10 pieces of luggage storage chambers 1 are arranged in two rows and five stages in a locker casing 2. In FIG. 1, the upper two rows in the left column show a state where the door body 3 is removed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the left and right side plates 2 a of the locker housing 2, the partition plate 2 b that partitions the left and right rows, the top plate 2 c, the bottom plate 2 d, and the front edge of the shelf plate 2 e that partitions the upper and lower luggage storage chambers 1 As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, a frame portion 15 that is folded back and surrounds the peripheral wall of the door body 3 is formed. The gap between the peripheral wall of the door body 3 and the frame portion 15 is set as narrow as possible within a range that does not hinder the rotation of the door body 3, and is opened to the door body 3 with a finger, a tool, or the like sandwiched between the gaps. Consideration should be given so that no operating force can be applied.

  Further, a leaf spring 16 for urging the door 3 in the opening direction is fixed to the frame portion 15 of the shelf plate 2e and the bottom plate 2d, and further, to the frame portion 15 of the side plate 2a and the partition plate 2b, A locking hole 17 through which the locking body 4 of the card lock device 7 to be described later advances and retracts is opened. A locking body receiving piece 18 is fixed to the locking hole 17.

  The door body 3 is formed into a flat plate shape with a sheet metal having an appropriate thickness, and as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the four peripheral edges are folded back to maintain rigidity. As shown in FIG. 2, the door 3 is provided with a horizontally long card insertion slit 9 facing the front, and on the back surface of the door 3, the opening of the card insertion slit 9 is extended rearward. The card guide 9a is fixed (see FIG. 3A). As shown in FIG. 3C, the card insertion slit 9 is formed to be slightly longer than the width of the key card 6 having an appropriate width, and on the back surface of the door body 3 is an extension line of the card guide 9a. The card lock device 7 is fixed by positioning the card insertion portion 8.

  As will be described in detail later, the card locking device 7 includes a locking body 4 that advances and retreats toward the locking hole 17, and the door 3 is in a closed state as shown in FIG. The locking body 4 is fitted into the locking hole 17, and thereafter the opening operation to the door body 3 is restricted (locked state).

  Further, the card locking device 7 can drive the locking body 4 to the unlocking position by inserting the genuine key card 6 into the card insertion portion 8 (unlocked state), and FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the locking body 4 is unlocked from the locking hole 17 in the unlocked state. When the locking by the locking body 4 is released, the door body 3 is opened at an appropriate angle by the leaf spring 16 described above, and then the luggage storage chamber 1 is pulled by pulling the rotation end of the door body 3 removed from the frame portion 15. Can be released.

  Further, an interference pin 13 is erected on the locking body 4, and a cylinder lock as the auxiliary locking device 10 is fixed to the door body 3. The cylinder lock 10 is formed by fixing a lever 14 to the rear end of a plug (not shown) that can be rotated by a genuine unlocking key (not shown). The lever 14 is set so that the interference pin 13 of the locking body 4 is positioned on the rotation locus accompanying the unlocking operation.

  Accordingly, for example, when the locker administrator unlocks the cylinder lock 10 when the user of the locker device loses the key card 6, the interference pin 13 is moved by the lever 14 as shown in FIG. When pressed, the locking body 4 is forcibly driven to the unlocking position, and the door body 3 can be opened. In this embodiment, the unlock codes of all the cylinder locks 10 are set to be the same, and the administrator can open any door 3. When this locker device is used for a relatively large-scale event, the unlocking code of the cylinder lock 10 of the locker housing 2 unit or the plurality of locker housings 2 in the installation area is unified, Since different luggage storage rooms 1 can be opened by the same unlocking key, the operation efficiency can be improved.

  The details of the card lock device 7 are shown in FIGS. The card lock device 7 includes a lock case 12 formed by an upper block 12a and a lower block 12b, and a lockable body drive unit 11 that is movable between the upper and lower blocks 12a and 12b. A card insertion portion 8 having one end communicating with the card insertion slit 9 at the boundary surface with the upper block 12a of the locking body driving portion 11 has a thickness dimension approximately twice that of the card insertion portion 8 at the intermediate portion. A code card mounting portion 19 is formed.

  On the other hand, on the lower block 12b, a driver pin 20b urged upward by the spring 20a, a pin tumbler 20c urged upward via the driver pin 20b, and two balls 20d are arranged in a stacked manner, The upper end portion of the upper ball 20 d protrudes into the card insertion portion 8. A plurality of the cord forming portions 20 formed by the driver pins 20b, the pin tumblers 20c, and the two balls 20d are arranged in a matrix form over almost the entire overlapping area of the card insertion portion 8 and the code card mounting portion 19. .

  The unlocking code of the card locking device 7 is determined by whether or not the code forming hole 5a is opened in the corresponding part to the code forming unit 20 when the code card mounting unit 19 is mounted. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a cord forming card 5 with a cord forming hole 5a, without a cord forming hole 5a, with a cord forming hole 5a, and without a cord forming hole 5a is loaded from the front side (right side in FIG. 4). In this state, when the key card 6 is not inserted as shown in FIG. 4A, some of the driver pins 20b have a sliding interface between the lower block 12b and the locking body drive unit 11. Due to the blocking, the locking body drive unit 11 cannot move with respect to the lock case 12 (locked state).

  The same applies to the case where a key card 6 that is not compatible with the attached code forming card 5 is inserted as shown in FIG. 4 (b), and as shown in FIG. The boundary is opened only when a matching genuine key card 6 is inserted. In this state, when the locking body driving unit 11 is pressed using the rigidity of the key card 6, the locking body driving unit 11 moves rearward (unlocked state).

  The movement of the locking body driving unit 11 is transmitted to the locking body 4 via an operation pin 11 a erected on the locking body driving unit 11. As shown in FIG. 5, on the bottom surface of the lower block 12b, there is disposed a link 21 that is driven to rotate around the pivot axis 21a by the operating pin 11a. As shown in FIG. 5B, this link 21 rotates. Then, the drive pin 21b erected on the link 21 moves the locking body 4 biased by the spring 22 in the locking direction with the locking hole 17 in the locking release direction.

  Further, as described above, when the interference pin 13 erected on the locking body 4 is pressed by the lever 14 of the cylinder lock 10 at the locking position shown in FIG. 5A, the link 21 is locked without rotating. Only the body 4 can be moved to the unlocking position.
