The cabinet body to which only the unlocking device or only the electric lock control base (the slave unit) and the unlocking device are attached is delivered, and a manager chooses to purchase components other than the unlocking device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to an electric lock of an electronic lock system for furniture that opens and closes by, for example, an electric signal, and in particular, unlocks an electric lock by authentication and / or verification of a card ID number registered in a non-contact type IC card. The present invention relates to an electronic lock system and an electric lock that can be locked and / or can be unlocked and / or locked with a physical key in an emergency.

  In principle, electric locks are based on the premise that stable electricity is supplied and the unlocking signal is correctly controlled, but when this premise breaks down, it is generally unlocked by a physical method such as a cylinder lock. It is. The supply of electricity depends on dry batteries, storage batteries, etc. in addition to general power supplies. However, assuming the situation where the supply of electricity and signal transmission always stop, in addition to the physical means of breaking or picking the lock, the following There are various emergency electric unlocking means.

  In Patent Document 1, a pair of opposing plates is fixed with a fixed interval through a spacer, a screw rod and a guide rod are provided between the plates, and the screw rod and the guide rod are inserted through each of the movable plates. And a control rod which has one end engaged with a part of the movable member and is pivotally supported by pivoting the other end to one plate, and the screw rod has a motor-driven deceleration output. The screw rod is rotated by the reduction output gear, and the movable member is moved, the operation rod is pivoted synchronously, and the operation rod is engaged with the manual rod member operator in the electric lock. The technical idea of

  However, if you know how to unlock in an emergency, it can be interpreted that anyone can unlock it in the event of an emergency.

  Patent Document 2 includes a lock bar that engages with the hook member and is locked in the receiving mechanism for the hook member that is inserted into and exited from the electric lock body, and the lock bar slides or rotates by an input from the outside. In this case, the electric lock main body is fixed to a mounting plate that pivots in the indoor side direction with respect to the base plate fixed to the indoor side surface of the door.

  However, as in the case described above, if the unlocking method in an emergency becomes publicly known, the electric lock part does not have any original meaning.

  In Patent Document 3, when a failure occurs in the electronic circuit or mechanism built in the electric lock, by applying electric power from the outside to the electronic circuit mounted on the receiving member, the pressing slide member is operated. When the taper or rounded surface of the pressing slide member pushes the head of the saddle member (dead bolt), forcibly returns it into the electric lock, and at least the engagement with the receiving hole can be released to make it unlocked. The technical idea to do is shown.

  However, similarly to the above, if the unlocking method in an emergency becomes publicly known, in addition to the problem that the electric lock part does not make the original meaning at all, transmission and reception of the unlocking signal will be performed. If there is a problem with the electronic circuit that controls it, supplying electricity will not solve the problem.
