Description

  The present invention relates to an electric lock guide plate, an electric lock, and an article storage device capable of appropriately controlling the locking position of a door to be locked.

  Electric locks are widely used in chargeable locker devices placed in public facilities such as railway stations, delivery boxes and mail boxes placed in apartment houses such as apartments.

  In these storage devices such as lockers, home delivery boxes, and post boxes, the lock state is controlled by controlling the electric lock by electronic control of the main control unit.

  This type of electric lock has a hook plate whose locking state is controlled using, for example, a solenoid, and the engagement state between the hook plate and the latch claw or hook of the door of the article storage device is released. To release (unlock) the locked state of the door (for example, Patent Document 1 below).

  In this type of electric lock, in particular, the unlocking control is electronically controlled, and the locking operation is performed, for example, by pushing the latch claw or hook of the door of the article storage device to be locked into the position of the hook plate of the electric lock. There are a lot of things.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-282025

  On the other hand, in recent years, in order to increase the added value of apartment houses such as condominiums, improvement in design is also required for devices such as mail boxes and delivery boxes. For example, in a resident-side space, protrusions such as postboxes and dial keys of delivery boxes placed on the wall surface and handles are removed or placed so as to be as inconspicuous as possible, and these doors cannot be distinguished from the wall surface. Such a design is also conceived in which the post box and the door of the delivery box are displayed as if they are arranged on the wall surface in an orderly manner, for example, as tiles.

  In particular, in such a configuration, if the vertical and horizontal edges of the doors of the article storage apparatus such as individual post boxes and delivery boxes are not arranged in an orderly manner like tiles, the aesthetic appearance of the entire apparatus is impaired.

  On the other hand, the door of this type of article storage device is supported by a hinge so as to be swingable. However, if there is an error in the installation position of the hinge or an installation position of an electric lock that locks the door, the door can be Since the edges of the doors are no longer arranged in a straight line and the aesthetics are impaired, the assembly work of parts such as hinges, doors, and electric locks is surprisingly troublesome work using nerves.

  However, no matter how closely the door or electric lock is mounted, the door of the article storage device is cantilevered by a hinge on one side. May come down on the opposite end. As a result, in a remarkable case, the position of the electric lock and the hook on the door side do not match, and the locking cannot be performed sufficiently. In addition, the lock function of the electric lock does not regulate the vertical position of the hook on the door side so precisely. As a result, the vertical and horizontal edges of the door do not line up in a straight line. It will be damaged.

  In addition, the doors and hinges may be erected due to vibration during transportation of the article storage device after assembly of parts such as hinges, doors, and electric locks at the factory, regardless of changes over time. Eventually, it may be necessary to correct the positions of the doors and hinges so that the closed positions of the doors are aligned even at the installation site of the apartment.

  In view of the above problems, the problem of the present invention is that the doors, hinges, electric locks, etc. of the article storage device can be assembled relatively easily, and the doors and hinges are slightly out of order due to vibration during transport and aging. The door of the article storage device is closed and locked at a predetermined position even if the error occurs, so that the adjustment work of the closing position of the door of the article storage device can be eliminated or the frequency thereof can be reduced. .

  In order to solve the above problems, in the configuration of the electric lock guide plate of the present invention, the door of the door member to be locked moves in a direction intersecting with the direction in which the hook is pushed in, engages with the hook, and An electric lock guide plate that is mounted on a housing surface of an electric lock having a hook plate that locks a hook, and is provided at a position that is substantially aligned with a recess of the electric lock that receives the hook, and is to be locked in the mounted state. When the hook of the door member is pushed in, a configuration having a guide groove having a tapered shape that guides the hook to be guided to a predetermined position with respect to a direction intersecting the direction in which the hook is pushed in is adopted. .

  Alternatively, in the configuration of the electric lock, the electric lock has a hook plate that moves in a direction crossing the direction in which the hook of the door member to be locked is pushed in, engages with the hook, and locks the hook. A direction in which the hook is pushed when the hook of the door member to be locked is pushed into a position substantially aligned with a recess for receiving the hook of the housing of the electric lock. Adopted a configuration in which a guide groove having a tapered shape for guiding to a predetermined position in the intersecting direction was provided.

  Further, in the configuration of the article storage device, the electric lock having a hook plate that moves in a direction intersecting with the direction in which the hook of the door member to be locked is pushed, engages with the hook, and locks the hook. And an article accommodating device having a door member locked by the electric lock, provided at a position substantially aligned with a recess for receiving the hook of the electric lock, and the hook of the door member to be locked is pushed in When coming, a configuration having a guide mechanism having a tapered shape that guides the hook to be guided to a predetermined position in a direction intersecting the direction in which the hook is pushed in is adopted.

  Alternatively, in this article storage device, a roller member made of a resin that rolls in contact with the tapered surface of the guide mechanism can be rotated at a portion of the hook of the door member that contacts the hook plate of the electric lock. The installed configuration was adopted.

  According to the characteristic configuration described above, the hook is provided at a position substantially aligned with the recess for receiving the hook of the electric lock, and when the hook of the door member to be locked is pushed, the hook is Since a guide mechanism having a tapered shape for guiding to a predetermined position in a direction intersecting with the direction of being pushed in is provided, it is possible to relatively easily assemble doors, hinges, electric locks, etc. Even if the door member and its hinge are slightly out of place due to vibration during transport or changes over time, the door member can be guaranteed to be closed and locked in place. There is an excellent effect that the adjustment work can be eliminated or the frequency thereof can be reduced.

  Also, by providing the roller member made of resin on the hook of the door member, there is an excellent effect that the closing operation and the locking operation of the door member can be performed smoothly and the operation noise at the time of locking can be reduced.

The public side (the trader's side) opposite to the private side (the resident side) is outside the entrance of the housing complex such as a condominium and can be accessed by the delivery company to deliver mail and parcels. The building part of the apartment building is the part of the apartment house building (not shown) that can be accessed only by residents inside the entrance (or those who have obtained permission). Further, the private side (resident side) corresponds to the normal mail or home delivery side inside the entrance of a housing complex such as an apartment.

  In FIG. 1, a mailbox 1002 of the article storage device is exclusively assigned to each household of the resident.

  In the present embodiment, the delivery boxes 1003 and 1006 are shared and used by each resident. The delivery side stores the delivery items in a vacant box in association with the destination. This arrival operation is performed using, for example, a public console (not shown).

  The courier uses this console to select a vacant courier box 1003, 1006, etc., specify a destination room number, and open an electric lock on the door (not shown) of the courier box 1003, 1006 on the courier side. House the parcel and close the door.

  The mailbox 1002 and the delivery boxes 1003, 1006 of the article storage apparatus of this embodiment are accommodated in a casing section 101, 102,.

  The housing sections 101 to 105 in FIG. 1 have the same configuration, and in this embodiment, two middle-sized mailboxes 1002 (for 10 places) are accommodated in the center and one medium-sized delivery box 1003 is accommodated in the lower part. To do. In the present embodiment, the space above the mailbox 1002 in two vertical columns for 10 bands corresponds to the service box 1001. This service box 1001 is used as, for example, a necessary electric circuit, wiring, or an accommodating part of an emergency unlocking mechanism.

  The housing section 106 has a medium-sized delivery box 1003 at the top and two at the bottom, and houses the above-described resident console 1005 in the second section from the top. The console 1005 on the resident side includes a card reader for reading a card key held by the resident, a liquid crystal display panel for displaying various information, an operation key, and the like. The console 1005 may be always exposed on the surface of the apparatus, but it is preferable that the console 1005 be concealed by a door that can be freely opened and closed except during operation.

  The casing section 107 has a large-sized delivery box having the same size as one medium delivery box 1003 at the top and three delivery boxes 1003 at the bottom. The doors of each mailbox 1002 and delivery boxes 1003 and 1006 are locked / unlocked by electric locks.

This simple operation unit 108 is provided so that it is possible to easily control opening / closing of a mailbox and a delivery box without using the console 1005.

<Structure of door locked / unlocked with electric lock>
Here, an example of the structure of the door 10023 of the mailbox 1002 is shown with reference to FIG. Here, the structure of the door 10023 of the mailbox 1002 is illustrated, but the structures of the delivery boxes 1003 and 1006 that are also locked by electric locks are almost the same except that no display is provided.

  In the example of FIG. 2, the door 1000023 of the mailbox 1002 shown on the left side is formed in a box shape as shown by bending a steel plate or the like. The periphery of the door 10027 is formed into a frame-like frame so that a certain strength can be obtained by bending. In addition, this structure is an example to the last, and it cannot be overemphasized that the door 10025 may be comprised with resin or FRP. A round hole (however, this shape is free) 10032 that determines the size of the light emitting portion of the display 1004 is formed in the center of the door 10027. The size of the round hole 10032 is relatively large (for example, about several centimeters in diameter) so that it can be easily seen from the position of the simple operation unit 108.

  A decorative panel 10031 made of a translucent acrylic plate or the like is attached to the front surface of the door 10027 by a technique such as dowel bonding. The door 10027 is an opaque member such as steel, and when a later-described LED element 10040 is turned on, a range of a round hole 10032 of the decorative panel 10031 emits light in the emission color of the LED element 10040.

  In this example, a hinge 10045 is coupled to the right side of the door 10025, and the door 10023 is swingably supported with respect to the mailbox 1002 via this hinge. A U-shaped hook 10025 that is locked when locked by an electric lock (2: described later) is fixed to the left end. A roller 10042 made of POM, nylon or other resin that rolls in contact with a guide groove 2005 to be described later is rotatable at a portion of the hook 10025 that contacts the hook plate 3 (latch claw) of the electric lock (2). It is attached to.

  The LED element 10040 as a light emitting element of the display device 1004 is mounted on, for example, a substrate 1000039, and this substrate 1000039 is mounted on a mounting frame 10037 of a back panel 10034 configured by bending a steel plate or the like. The mounting frame 10037 is a pocket-shaped member formed by, for example, bending a steel plate into a shape as shown in the figure, and a round hole 10043 through which illumination light of the LED element 10040 of the substrate 1000039 is transmitted is provided at the center.

  After the substrate 10030 is mounted on the mounting frame 10037, the back panel 10034 is mounted on the back surface of the door 10023 using the screw holes 10033, 10033, etc., and the LED element 10040 is thus placed in the center of the back surface of the round hole 10032 of the door 10027. Mounted as desired. The drive current of the LED element 10040 is transmitted from the control circuit to the substrate 1000039 via the wiring 10040 such as a flexible cable.

  A back panel 10034 is formed in the shape shown in the figure, and a space is secured between the back panel 10034 and the back surface of the door 10023, and a soundproofing material (not shown) such as a honeycomb material or a foam material made of paper or resin is provided there. By stuffing, noise at the time of opening and closing the door 10027 can be reduced. Further, by setting a hook 10025 that comes into contact with an electric lock (2), which will be described later, as a resin winding (roller 10042), it is possible to further reduce noise when the door 10023 is opened and closed. The opening / closing sound of the mailbox 1002 often becomes a problem in the apartment community in the middle of the night, and such a trouble can be reduced by providing such a soundproof structure.

<Structure of electric lock>
The electric lock 2 of this embodiment is mounted on the inner walls of the compartments of the mailbox 1002 and the delivery boxes 1003 and 1006 as shown in FIG. In this example, the electric lock 2 is mounted on the left wall in the compartment, but of course, the electric lock 2 can be mounted on the right wall.

  The electric lock 2 has a hook plate 3 that moves in a direction (vertical direction in this embodiment) intersecting with the direction in which the hook 10042 of the door to be locked is pushed and engages with the hook 10042. . In the resin case 1 of the electric lock 2, components as described below are incorporated.

  The electric lock 2 in FIG. 3 is inserted into a through hole 1a of the resin case 1 (in the example of FIG. 3, the tab 1e (FIG. 1) on the outer periphery of the resin case 1 of the electric lock 2) via a base plate 2009 made of a stainless plate or the like. It is fixed to the screw hole 17 of the side wall 15a or 15b of the compartment of the storage device by a screw 31 penetrating (provided in this embodiment).

The structure which has the tab which bent and formed so that the case 1 might be surrounded and penetrated the screw hole (elongate hole) for attachment was illustrated. When such a base plate 2009 is used, a structure such as a claw is provided between the base plate 2009 and the resin case 1 so that the relative positions of the both in particular in the horizontal direction in the figure do not change. Then, it is fixed to the side wall of the compartment by screws or the like according to the method shown in FIG.

  The resin case 1 is appropriately provided with recesses 1c and 1d suitable for accommodating the above-described constituent members, and a cylinder serving as a seat for the rotating shafts 7 to 9 is molded.

  The inner shape of the resin case 1, in particular, the cylinders that serve as seats for the recesses 1 c and 1 d and the rotary shafts 7 to 9 are formed symmetrically with respect to the center line (line that bisects the electric lock 2 in FIG. 4). .

  The rotating shafts 7, 8, and 9 are made of a metal rod or the like planted with respect to a cylinder that serves as a seat for the resin case 1. For example, the hook plate 3, the stop plate 4, and the lever plate 5 made of a metal plate are The rotary shafts 7, 8 and 9 are respectively penetrated through the through holes provided in these plates, and are supported rotatably by using an E-ring or by being prevented from coming off by the base plate.

  The hook plate 3 and the lever plate 5 are respectively provided with a hook spring 10 and a lever spring 11 made of a torsion spring, whereby the hook spring 10 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation shaft 7 and the lever spring 11 rotates. It is urged clockwise around the shaft 9.

  A solenoid 6 is disposed on the right side of the resin case 1 in the figure, and the tip of the armature 6a is engaged with a through hole 5b provided on the arm on the right side of the shaft 9 of the lever plate 5. The solenoid 6 is driven by a drive circuit and a control circuit (not shown), and pulls the right arm of the lever plate 5 upward in the figure by an unlocking signal.

  In the present embodiment, the solenoid 6 performs a momentary operation, and only needs to have a configuration in which the armature 6a is pulled only during driving and the armature 6a is driven by the lever plate 5 in other states. In addition, the recessed part of the resin case 1 which accommodates the solenoid 6 shall also be shape | molded symmetrically with respect to said centerline.

  The hook plate 3, the stop plate 4, and the lever plate 5 are made of a metal plate material, and are configured so that they can be used upside down. In particular, the rotation shafts 7, 8, and 9 are transferred to the resin case 1 to a cylinder that is seated for the rotation shafts 7, 8, and 9 and a cylinder that is line-symmetric with respect to the center line. 4 is supported by supporting the hook plate 3, the stop plate 4 and the lever plate 5 turned upside down from the state shown in FIG. 4, and mounting the solenoid 6 upside down to lock the lever plate 5 and the armature 6a. An electric lock can be constructed for mounting on the opposite side wall of the device compartment.

  In other words, the resin case 1 of the present embodiment is formed so as to support the plates 3 to 5 and accommodate the solenoid in two different positions symmetrical with respect to the center line.

  FIG. 4 shows an electric lock for mounting on the left side wall in the compartment of the right hinge. As described above, the electric lock is assembled to the right side wall in the compartment of the left hinge by assembling symmetrically with FIG. An electric lock for wearing can be configured.

The round key cylinder 14 is arranged on the side or lower side of the compartment of the storage device, and the administrator of the storage device or the like uses the round key key 15 held by the storage device manager when an emergency unlocking or the like is required. The electric lock can be unlocked by operating the cylinder 14 and pushing the operating end 5a at the right end of the lever plate 5 upward.

  The round key cylinder 14 of the emergency unlocking mechanism can be replaced with another type of operation unit such as a dial key, and these operation units are arranged in a group for a plurality of boxes in the service box 1001, for example. You can also. In that case, the conduction mechanism of the drive rod 14a and the key plate 13 can be replaced with a wire or the like.

  Here, the operation of the electric lock 2 of FIG. 4 and its dynamic features will be described in detail.

  As described above, the electric lock 2 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the three plates of the hook plate 3, the stop plate 4, and the lever plate 5 are interlocked, and the hook plate 3 is a hook of the door (10023 in FIG. 2). Locking / unlocking is performed by engaging with 10025 (or its roller 10042) and releasing roller 10042 of hook 10025.

  The hook plate 3 is engaged with the hook 10025 of the door (10023 in FIG. 2) at the portion of the groove 3c to lock the hook 10025. The hook plate 3 is an arm portion 3d, 3e, and 3f and interlocks with the left arm 4a of the stop plate 4.

  The stop plate 4 has a substantially “7” shape and is interlocked with the notch 5c near the center of the arm on the left side of the lever plate 5 by the arm 4b.

  When the door (10023 in FIG. 2) is closed from the state shown in FIG. 4 and the hook 10025 is pushed into the groove 3c, the hook plate 3, the stop plate 4 and the lever plate 5 are finally locked in the state shown in the drawing. During the transition from the unlocked state to the locked state in FIG. 4, the hook plate 3 and the hook plate 3 are configured so that the arm 4 a of the stop plate 4 slides on the slope of the arm portion 3 e of the hook plate 3 by the clockwise rotation of the hook plate 3. The stop plate 4 is interlocked.

  In the locked state, the arm 4a of the stop plate 4 is engaged with the arm portion 3d of the hook plate 3 to prevent the hook plate 3 from rotating counterclockwise.

  Further, the stop plate 4 has the tip of the arm 4b engaged with the notch 5c of the lever plate 5, thereby preventing the stop plate 4 from rotating clockwise. During the transition from the unlocked state to the locked state in FIG. 4, the tip of the arm 4 b of the stop plate 4 receives the pressure contact of the lever plate 5 urged clockwise by the lever spring 11 while It slides to the right from the tip and shifts to a locked state where it locks with the notch 5c.

  During the above locking operation, the solenoid 6 does not need to be driven. When the user closes the door (10023 in FIG. 2) and pushes the hook 10025 into the groove 3c of the hook plate 3, the armature 6a of the solenoid 6 It is driven while being engaged with the hole 5b.

  At the time of unlocking, the solenoid 6 is driven through a control circuit (not shown), and the armature 6a is pulled upward in the figure, or in the case of emergency unlocking, the round key 15 is used to hold the right end of the key plate 13 By lifting upward in the figure, the lever plate 5 is rotated counterclockwise against the urging force of the lever spring 11 to disengage the lever plate 5 from the stop plate 4.

  As a result, the stop plate 4 rotates clockwise until the arm 4a of the stop plate 4 is locked to the inner wall of the resin case 1 and stops as shown in FIG. In conjunction with this, the hook plate 3 biased by the hook spring 10 rotates counterclockwise, and the hook (10025) of the door (10023 in FIG. 2) is kicked to the left in the figure at the groove 3c. Take out and pop up the door (not shown).

  At that time, the tip of the arm 4 a of the stop plate 4 slides on the slope of the arm portion 3 f of the hook plate 3. In the final state of FIG. 4, the arm 4a of the stop plate 4 is engaged with the arm portions 3e and 3f of the hook plate 3, and the hook plate 3 is prevented from rotating further counterclockwise than the illustrated position. Is done.

  The electric lock 2 of the present embodiment is locked and unlocked as described above.

<Door hook guide mechanism>
The structure of the article storage device and its electric lock is shown above. The structure shown above is basic, but as shown in the column of the problem to be solved by the invention, if the door or hinge is erected due to vibration during transportation or secular change, it will be locked. This causes an aesthetic problem such that the closed position of a plurality of doors is not aligned with each other.

  Speaking of the structure of the electric lock 2 described above, the U-shaped recess 2005a (FIG. 4, FIG. 5 below) for receiving the hook 10025 (or its roller 10042) of the door 10023 (FIG. 2) is provided. Although there is no function of guiding the hook 10025 (or its roller 10042) in the vertical direction, the hook plate 3 does not have such a guiding function. Therefore, when the vertical position of the end of the door 10023 opposite to the hinge 10045 is out of order, there is no means for correcting the state, and the above-described structure alone, for example, closes the plurality of doors. The problem that the positions are not aligned with each other cannot be solved.

  Below, with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the guide mechanism for solving the above problems is demonstrated.

  In the guide mechanism of FIG. 5, as described above, it moves in a direction crossing the direction in which the hook 10025 of the door 10025 to be locked is pushed (in the following example, the vertical direction) and engages with the hook 10025. A guide plate 2000 is mounted on the housing surface of the electric lock having the hook plate 3 for locking the hook.

  The guide plate 2000 is provided at a position substantially aligned with the concave portion 2005a of the electric lock 2 that receives the hook. When the hook 10025 of the door 10023 to be locked is pushed in the mounted state, the hook 10025 is It has a guide groove 2005 having a tapered shape for guiding to a predetermined position in a direction intersecting with the direction in which the hook is pushed (in the following example, the vertical direction).

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a guide mechanism for guiding the hook 10042 of the door 10025 (FIG. 2) which is characteristic in the present embodiment. This guide mechanism is configured by externally attaching a guide plate 2000 to the casing surface (side surface in this embodiment) of the electric lock 2.

  In FIG. 5, the outline of the electric lock 2 is indicated by a solid line, and the U-shaped recess 2005a for receiving the hook plate 3 and its rotating shaft 7 and the hook 10025 (or its roller 10042) of the door 10023 (FIG. 2). Only the shape is shown by a broken line.

  In the electric lock 2 shown in FIG. 5, a guide plate 2000 made of a material such as POM (polyacetal) and integrally molded is attached by tightening.

  The shape of the guide plate 2000 is arbitrary, but here, it is composed of a substantially home-base-like outer shape, a portion having a lightening portion 2003 along the outline (left side in FIG. 5), and a rear portion 2004 (right side in FIG. 5). . For the purpose of, for example, exposing the adjustment portion necessary for maintenance of the electric lock 2 or escaping a convex portion that is structurally required to be provided on the base plate (2009) of the electric lock 2 with respect to the outline portion 2003 and the entire outer shape. It may be determined accordingly.

  The front end (left side in FIG. 5) of the guide plate 2000 is fixed to the resin case (1) of the electric lock 2 via the base plate (2009) with screws 2001 and 2001 at two positions, upper and lower. The rear portion 2004 is similarly fixed by two screws, and screw screw positions of the screws are indicated by reference numerals 2002 and 2002.

  Further, the guide plate 2000 is provided with a guide groove 2005 at a position substantially aligned with the U-shaped recess 2005a of the electric lock 2 that receives the hook 10025 (or its roller 10042) of the door 10027 (FIG. 2).

  As shown in the figure, the guide groove 2005 has substantially the same width as the U-shaped recess 2005a of the electric lock 2 at the beginning of the opening, but the width increases toward the back (right side in FIG. 5). It is formed in a taper shape that narrows.

  Further, although the position of the groove 3c of the hook plate 3 of the electric lock 2 is shown in the locked position, this position is a position for locking the hook 10025 (or its roller 10042), and the guide groove 2005 is more than this portion. It is formed to a slightly deep position (to the right in the figure) (in this example, it is formed to a position slightly deeper than the recess 2005a of the electric lock 2).

  In the vicinity of the locking position of the groove 3c of the hook plate 3 of the electric lock 2 of FIG. 5, the width of the guide groove 2005 is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the hook 10025 (or its roller 10042). It is.

  By mounting the guide plate 2000 having such a guide groove 2005 on the side surface of the electric lock 2, when the user closes the door (10023) and pushes the hook 10025 into the groove 3c of the hook plate 3 during locking, The hook 10025 (or its roller 10042) moves along the guide groove 2005, and guides the position of the hook 10025, and therefore the opposite end of the hinge (10045) of the door (10023) to a predetermined vertical position. The locked state of the electric lock 2 can be established at the position.

  In particular, by providing a resin roller 10042 on the hook 10025, the movement of the hook 10025 following the guide groove 2005 becomes smooth, and the operation noise at the time of locking can be reduced.

  The guide groove 2005 has a tapered shape, and the hook 10025 (or its roller 10042) can be gradually and comfortably driven along the guide groove 2005, and the position of the hook 10025, and hence the hinge (10045) of the door (10023). The opposite end can be guided to a predetermined vertical position, and the locked state of the electric lock 2 can be established at that position.

  As described above, even if the door or hinge is slightly out of place due to vibration or aging during transportation, the door of the article storage device can be guaranteed to be closed and locked in place, Adjustment work for the closed position of the door of the article storage device can be eliminated or the frequency thereof can be reduced. In addition, the door closing operation and the locking operation of the article storage device are particularly performed by providing a resin roller 10042 on the door hook so that the roller 10042 is driven by the guide groove 2005 of the resin guide plate. The operation to perform is performed smoothly, and the operation noise at the time of locking can be reduced.

  In addition, even if there is some mounting error, the closed position of the door can be accurately regulated by the guide groove 2005, so that it is possible to relatively easily assemble the electric lock, the door, the hinge, and the like. There is also an effect.

  As described above, the guide mechanism shown in FIG. 4 is configured by mounting the guide plate 2000 on the side surface of the conventional electric lock 2. However, the guide mechanism for guiding the hook of the door can be integrated with the electric lock 2 by a structure as shown in FIG. 6, for example.

  FIG. 6 shows an electric lock 2 having the same internal structure as described above. In the electric lock 2 of FIG. 6, a guide groove 2005 is directly formed in a base plate 2009 similar to that shown in FIG. The base plate 2009 may be formed by bending, for example, from aluminum or other metal material, or may be integrally formed with resin or the like. This base plate 2009 is bent and molded so as to surround the resin case 1 described above, and has other structures (inside of the electric lock 2) having tabs through which screw holes (long holes) 1a for mounting are passed. The structure and the door-side structure are the same as described above.

  The guide groove 2005 provided in the base plate 2009 has the same shape as the guide groove 2005 of FIG. On the side of the resin case (not shown), for example, a U-shaped recess 2005a having the same shape as in FIG. 5 can be provided.

  Even in such a configuration, the same effect as described above can be obtained. In other words, even if the door or hinge is slightly out of place due to vibration or aging during transportation, the door of the article storage device can be guaranteed to close and lock in place, and the article storage device The operation of adjusting the closed position of the door can be eliminated or the frequency thereof can be reduced. In addition, the door closing operation and the locking operation of the article storage device are particularly performed by providing a resin roller 10042 on the door hook so that the roller 10042 is driven by the guide groove 2005 of the resin guide plate. The operation to perform is performed smoothly, and the operation noise at the time of locking can be reduced.

  Further, by integrating the guide mechanism into the electric lock 2 as shown in FIG. 6, the total number of parts of the article storage device can be reduced, the number of man-hours during assembly can be reduced, and the manufacturing time of the device can be reduced. The effect of shortening and cost reduction can also be expected.

  The electric lock 2 having the guide mechanism shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 or integrated with the guide mechanism is an article storage device having a mailbox and a delivery box as shown in FIG. Or it can utilize in various goods storage apparatuses, such as a charge-type locker apparatus.
