A pair of extending portions 66, 66 extending in parallel to each other radially outward from the ends, and extending in opposite directions from ends opposite to the arc-shaped portion 65 of the pair of extending portions 66, 66. It consists of a pair of engaging parts 67,67. The arc-shaped portion 65, the pair of extending portions 66, 66 and the pair of engaging portions 67, 67 constituting the linear member 62 are arranged on the same plane, and both ends of the linear member 62 are paired with a pair of engagement members. The joints 67 and 67 are formed.

  The connecting member main body 63 has an outer case 69 formed mainly of synthetic resin and a pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 that are both ends of the linear member 62 formed of synthetic resin. And a slide body 70 slidably provided. The connecting member main body 63 accommodates the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 of the linear member 62 while being held by the slide body 70.

  The case 69 includes a synthetic resin case main body 71 and a slide restricting portion 72 that is embedded in the case main body 71 and restricts and releases the slide of the slide body 70 with respect to the case 69. The case main body 71 has a cylindrical shape, a slide restricting portion 72 is embedded in the inner peripheral portion on one side in the length direction, and the inner peripheral portion on the other side in the length direction slides to guide the slide of the slide body 70. A guide hole 73 is formed. As shown in FIG. 6A, a displacement restricting portion (proximity direction movement restricting portion) 74 is formed in the slide guide hole 73 so as to cross the slide guide hole 73. The linear member 62 is attached to and detached from the slide body 70 on the opposite side of the slide guide hole 73 shown in FIG.

  The slide restricting portion 72 has a restricting portion main body 76 made of synthetic resin. The restricting portion main body 76 is connected to the slide guide hole 73 and slide guide holes for guiding the slide of the slide body 70 together with the slide guide holes 73. 77 is formed. Further, in the restricting portion main body 76, a plurality of specifically, three receiving holes 78 are opened in the slide guide hole 77 so that one end thereof is open, and the slide guide hole 77 is in a posture orthogonal to the extending direction of the slide guide hole 77. Are formed side by side in the extending direction. In the three accommodation holes 78, metal springs 82 are disposed on the bottom side, and metal lock members 83 are disposed on the opening side.

  The slide body 70 includes a head 85 that is slidably received in the slide guide hole 73 and a body 86 that is slidably received in the slide guide hole 77, and connects the slide guide holes 73 and 77. Slide in the direction. An insertion hole 88 is formed in the head 85 along the slide direction of the slide body 70 from the side opposite to the body 86. A pair of engagement holes 90, 90 are formed on the inner wall surfaces of the insertion hole 88 facing each other so as to be orthogonal to the sliding direction of the slide body 70. A guide hole 87 is formed in the slide body 70 so as to be orthogonal to both the insertion hole 88 and the pair of engagement holes 90, 90. A displacement restricting portion 74 of the case body 71 is formed inside the guide hole 87. Has been placed. In the slide body 70, the guide hole 87 is guided by the displacement restricting portion 74.

  A pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 of the linear member 62 are fitted into the pair of engaging holes 90 and 90. Specifically, the linear member 62 is elastically deformed so as to move the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 in the close proximity direction, and the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 and the pair of extending portions 66. , 66 are disposed inside the insertion hole 88, and when the elastic deformation is released in this state, the pair of engaging portions 67, 67 are fitted into the pair of engaging holes 90, 90. In this state, the linear member 62 is held by the head 85 of the slide body 70 so that it cannot move unless it is deformed.

  Further, when the linear member 62 is elastically deformed so as to move the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 in the close proximity direction from this state, the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 are moved from the pair of engaging holes 90 and 90 to each other. 67 comes out and can be removed from the head 85 of the slide body 70. That is, the linear member 62 is attached to and detached from the slide body 70 by moving the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 at both ends in the proximity direction.

  When the slide body 70 is at the predetermined lock position shown in FIG. 5A in which the head 85 is brought close to the slide restricting portion 72, the position of the pair of engagement holes 90, 90 in the slide direction is set to the guide hole 87. It overlaps with the displacement restricting portion 74 of the case body 71 on the inner side. Therefore, at this time, the linear member 62 in a state where the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 are fitted in the pair of engaging holes 90 and 90 of the slide body 70 is between the pair of extending portions 66 and 66. The displacement restricting portion 74 of the case body 71 is positioned between the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6A, the linear member 62 abuts against the displacement restricting portion 74 in the direction of mutual proximity between the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 and the pair of extending portions 66 and 66. Movement will be regulated.

  Therefore, when the slide body 70 is in the locked position on the back side, the connecting member main body 63 locks the linear member 62 attached to the slide body 70 so as not to be detachable. Are locked at the same time in a state in which they are accommodated. At that time, the displacement restricting portion 74 of the case 69 is disposed between the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 at both ends of the linear member 62 to restrict the movement of the engaging portions 67 and 67 in the proximity direction.

  When the slide body 70 is at a predetermined unlocking position shown in FIG. 5B that separates the head 85 from the slide restricting portion 72, the position of the pair of engagement holes 90, 90 in the sliding direction is set on the case body 71. The displacement restricting portion 74 is shifted to the outside. Therefore, in this state, as shown in FIG. 6B, the pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 are separated from the displacement restricting portion 74 and are allowed to move in the mutually close direction. The pair of engaging portions 67, 67 are removed from the pair of engaging holes 90, 90 of the slide body 70 shown in (b), the linear member 62 is extracted from the insertion hole 88, and the linear member 62 is inserted into the insertion hole 88. The pair of engaging portions 67 and 67 of the linear member 62 can be fitted into the pair of engaging holes 90 and 90 of the slide body 70.

  A keyway 91 is formed in the body portion 86 of the slide body 70 along the slide direction. When the slide body 70 is in the locked position shown in FIG. Three holding holes 92 are formed at positions where they can face each other. The three holding holes 92 are orthogonal to the sliding direction of the slide body 70, and three pieces of metal pieces 95 having different lengths are movably disposed inside each of the holding holes 92. When the slide body 70 is in the lock position, the three pieces 95 are pressed by the lock member 83 by the urging force of the spring 82 and are in contact with the bottom of the holding hole 92. At this time, the slide body 70 abuts against the three lock members 83 in the slide direction and the slide is restricted. That is, the slide restricting portion 72 including the lock member 83 restricts the slide of the slide body 70 at the lock position where the displacement restricting portion 74 restricts the movement of the both ends of the linear member 62 in the proximity direction. As shown in FIG. 5B, the three lock members 83 move against the urging force of the springs 82, and the end positions on the side opposite to the springs 82 are positioned on the body of the slide body 70. When the boundary position between the portion 86 and the restricting portion main body 76 is matched, the slide body 70 can be slid.

  An IC tag 100 shown in FIG. 4 in which an individual connection member identification number for identifying the key 10 held one-on-one from the other key 10 is stored on the connection member 41 is attached to the upper surface. Here, the attachment / detachment member identification number assigned to the attachment / detachment member 40, the connection member identification number assigned to the connection member 41, and the holding unit identification number assigned to the key holding unit 31, Is a common number. In the following description, this common identification number is a key identification number.

  In the storage portion 34 of the apparatus main body 12 shown in FIG. 1, a release tool (lock release means) 101 for releasing the lock of the linear member 62 by the slide restricting portion 72 of the connecting member main body 63 shown in FIG. . The release tool 101 includes a substrate portion 102 that is fixed to the back side of the storage portion 34, and an extension plate portion 103 that extends from the substrate portion 102 into the storage portion 34, and the extension plate portion 103. A key-shaped portion 104 having a predetermined concavo-convex shape and a pressing protrusion 105 on the substrate portion 102 side from the key-shaped portion 104 are formed.

  The side opposite to the linear member 62 of the connecting member main body 63 is inserted into the storage portion 34. Then, the connecting member main body 63 guided on the inner peripheral surface of the storage portion 34 is aligned with the extension plate portion 103 of the release tool 101 so that the key groove 91 of the slide body 70 is aligned with the key groove 91. The exit plate 103 is inserted. At the position where the slide body 70 comes into contact with the pressing projection 105 of the release tool 101, the concave and convex key mountain portion 104 moves the three pieces 95 to a predetermined position, and the respective springs of the three lock members 83 of the slide restricting portion 72. As shown in FIG. 5B, the end position opposite to 82 is made to coincide with the boundary position between the body portion 86 of the slide body 70 and the restricting portion main body 76.

  Therefore, in this state, the slide body 70 does not come into contact with the three lock members 83 in the slide direction, and can slide with respect to the case 69. For this reason, when the connecting member main body 63 is further inserted to the back side of the storage portion 34, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the case 69 is brought into contact with the slide body 70 that is stopped in contact with the release tool 101. The slide body 70 moves relative to the case 69 to a predetermined unlocking position. As a result, the linear member 62 can be detached from the slide body 70 away from the displacement restricting portion 74. In this way, the detachable member 40 is held in the through hole 42, the key 10 is held in the through hole 60, the detachable member 40 is removed from the linear member 62 removed from the connecting member main body 63, The key 10 is removed. Here, even if a member other than the release tool 101 is inserted into the keyway 91, the end positions of the three lock members 83 of the slide restricting portion 72 opposite to the springs 82 are positioned at the body portion of the slide body 70. It is extremely difficult to match the boundary position between 86 and the restricting portion main body 76, and therefore, unauthorized unlocking is restricted.

  That is, the release tool 101 is inserted into the case 69 of the connecting member main body 63 to release the slide restriction on the case 69 of the slide body 70 by the slide restriction portion 72 and press the slide body 70 to slide. As a result, both ends of the linear member 62 attached to the slide body 70 are separated from the displacement restricting portion 74.

  Further, when the connecting member main body 63 is pulled out from the storage portion 34 from this state, the slide body 70 stays with the three pieces 95 fitted to the key mountain portion 104 of the release tool 101 at the initial stage, and the case 69 moves. When the case 69 is in the lock position for aligning the positions of the three accommodation holes 78 of the slide restricting portion 72 with the positions of the three pieces 95 with respect to the slide body 70, the three pieces 95 can be moved up and down. Becomes slidable with respect to the release tool 101 and moves away from the release tool 101. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5A, the three pieces 95 move to the bottoms of the three holding holes 92, and the three lock members 83 lock the slide body 70 with respect to the case 69. As a result, the displacement restricting portion 74 is disposed between the pair of engaging portions 67, 67 of the linear member 62 held by the slide body 70, and the linear member 62 cannot be removed.

  That is, when the release tool 101 is removed from the case 69 of the connecting member main body 63, the displacement restricting portion 74 is disposed between both ends of the linear member 62 attached to the slide body 70, and the slide restricting portion 72 The slide restriction on the case 69 of the slide body 70 is performed.

  An IC tag reader 107 is provided on the ceiling surface of the storage unit 34. The IC tag reader 107 communicates with the IC tag 100 of the connecting member 41 inserted into the storage unit 34 as shown in FIG. 5B. The key identification number stored in the IC tag 100 can be read.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the storage portion 34 is provided with an opening / closing door 110. The apparatus main body 12 includes an electromagnetically driven door lock mechanism 111 shown in FIG. 2 that locks and unlocks the open / close door 110 in the closed state, and a close detection sensor 112 that detects whether the open / close door 110 is in the closed state. And an operation button 114 that is pressed when releasing the lock of the door lock mechanism 111 and is integrally provided with a display lamp 113 that can be turned on and blinked.

  The apparatus main body 12 includes a control unit 115 that controls the above-described units, and a storage unit 116 that includes a RAM, an HDD, or the like that can exchange data with the control unit 115.

  The storage unit 116 stores a person-in-charge identification number that can use the key management apparatus 1 and a personal identification number that is input when the key management apparatus 1 is used. In addition, for each person-in-charge identification number, permission for mode switching (described later) is stored. The presence / absence and usable key 10 and the key identification number of the key holding unit 31 holding the key 10 are stored in association with each other. That is, whether or not mode switching is permitted is determined according to the duty range and authority of the person in charge, and therefore whether or not mode switching is permitted is stored for each person in charge. Further, since the keys 10 that can be used differ depending on the job scope and authority of the person in charge, a key holding unit 31 that can take out the key 10 is determined for each person in charge, and this relationship is stored. Furthermore, a key holder 11 capable of changing the key 10 is determined according to the job scope and authority of the person in charge, and this relationship is stored.

  The storage unit 116 stores the usage information (purpose and application location) of the key 10 held in association with the key identification number of each key holding unit 31 on a one-to-one basis. In other words, the keys 10 to be held are determined on a one-to-one basis in each key holding unit 31, and the keys 10 are for opening / closing the door of the safe, for opening / closing the door of the cash processing machine, and for the cash storage of the cash processing machine, respectively. Since the use (purpose, place of use) for opening / closing the door, opening / closing the door of the collection box of the cash processing machine, and switching the main power source of the cash processing machine is determined, a plurality of key holding units 31 Individual holding unit identification information and usage information of the held key 10 are stored in association with each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the storage unit 116 stores the key identification number “001” and “kinko-villa” as the usage information in association with each other, and the key identification number “002” and its usage information “ATM1 Gouki Tobira” are stored in association with each other, and the key identification number “003” and its usage information “ATM1 Gouki Shunoko A Key” are associated with each other. The key identification number “004” is stored in association with “ATM1 Goki Kaishuko Kagi” as its usage information.

  The key management apparatus 1 can be used in the take-out / return mode, the exchange mode, the new registration mode, and the log output mode. Is possible only when the ID is read from the ID card 23. When the identification number of the person in charge who is not allowed to switch the mode is read from the ID card 23, the control unit 115 automatically selects the following take-out / return mode and sets the identification number of the person in charge who is permitted to switch the mode. When reading from the card 23, the mode selection screen is displayed on the display unit 22. This display is, for example, “1. take-out / return mode 2. exchange mode 3. new registration mode 4. log output mode”. In this case, the operator can input a number on the operation key 21 a of the operation unit 21. Select a mode. The control unit 115 executes the selected mode.

"Take-out / return mode"
Describe the take-out / return mode. After the ID card 23 is scanned by the card reader 24, the take-out / return mode is selected, and the password set for permitting management of the key 10 is input to the operation unit 21. Then, the control unit 115 compares the person-in-charge identification number of the ID card 23 read by the card reader 24 and the personal identification number input to the operation unit 21 with the data stored in the storage unit 116 to thereby determine the person-in-charge identification number and It is determined whether or not the personal identification number is appropriate for executing the take-out / return mode. When it is appropriate, the control unit 115 drives the cover lock mechanism 35 to release the lock of the cover 16, and the key holding unit 31 having the key identification number set for the person-in-charge identification number is displayed. The display lamps 50 of all corresponding operation buttons 51 are blinked so that the lock can be released. As described above, the operation unit 21, the card reader 24, and the control unit 115 authenticate the use of the apparatus main body 12. In addition, when the person-in-charge identification number and the personal identification number are appropriate, it may be set so that all the key holding units 31 can be unlocked.

  The person in charge opens the unlocked cover 16, and the operation button of the key holding unit 31 holding the key holder 11 with the desired key 10 out of the key holding unit 31 in which the display lamp 50 is flashing. 51, the identification of the key identification number written in the holding unit identification notation unit 53 is visually recognized and pressed (one or more). That is, the operation button 51 provided in each of the plurality of key holding units 31 receives a selection designation for selecting one of the plurality of key holding units 31 when the take-out / return mode is set. . In addition, the holding | maintenance part identification description part 53 each provided in each key holding | maintenance part 31 may be made into a liquid crystal element, and the key identification number and usage information corresponding to each may be displayed.

  Then, when the person in charge presses a desired one of the operation buttons 51 in which the display lamp 50 blinks and accepts selection designation, the control unit 115 turns on the display lamp 50 and The key lock mechanism 46 of the key holding unit 31 provided with the operation button 51 is driven to release the lock, and the key holder 11 with the key 10 can be removed. That is, when the operation button 51 receives the selection designation of the key holding unit 31, the control unit 115 releases the lock of the key holding unit 31 designated and designated by the key lock mechanism 46. Thus, the person in charge takes out the key holder 11 with the key 10 from the key holding unit 31 in which the locked state of the key holding unit 31 is released and it is guided that the key can be taken out when the display lamp 50 is turned on. It will be. Even when the key identification number is input to the operation unit 21, the control unit 115 recognizes the selected and designated key holding unit 31, drives the key lock mechanism 46 to release the lock, and displays the display lamp 50. Is switched from blinking to lighting.

  Then, the control unit 115 detects the removal when the IC tag reader 52 of the key holding unit 31 cannot communicate with the IC tag 43 of the key holder 11. The control unit 115 returns the display lamp 50 from which the take-out has been detected to the blinking state, and the person-in-charge identification number of the ID card 23 read when the key holder 11 is taken out, and the key holding unit 31 in which the operation button 51 is pressed. The key identification number, the key holder 11 from the key holding unit 31 where the operation button 51 is pressed, that is, the time when the key 10 is taken out, and the return time (the data is blank because it has not been returned at this time) 8 is stored in the storage unit 116 as shown in FIG.

  In the example of the carry-out status data shown in FIG. 8A, the key holder 11 with the key 10 from the key holding unit 31 having the key identification number “001” is assigned to the person identification number “777”. This indicates that the person took out at the take-out time of “10:10” and returned it at the return time of “10:20”. That is, the control unit 115 stores the take-out time and return time, which are detection results of the IC tag reader 52, in association with the key identification number stored in the IC tag 43 that is the detection target of the IC tag reader 52 in the storage unit 116. Let As a matter of course, even when the operation button 51 other than the blinking of the display lamp 50 is operated, the control unit 115 does not release the locked state of the key holding unit 31 provided with the operation button 51. .

  Then, each time the key holder 11 with the key 10 is taken out, the control unit 115 causes the storage unit 116 to store the above-mentioned take-out status data in time series in order of take-out time, and store the log data for storage. create.

  The person in charge closes the cover 16 after taking out the key holder 11 with the key 10 (the same is true after returning the key holder 11 described later). Then, the engagement protrusion 18 of the cover 16 enters the engagement insertion hole 32 of the apparatus main body 14, and the detection protrusion 19 of the cover 16 enters the detection insertion hole 33 of the apparatus main body 14. Thus, when the close detection sensor 37 detects the detection protrusion 19, the control unit 115 locks the cover 16 in the closed state by the cover lock mechanism 35. Note that when a lock operation is input to the operation unit 21 in a state where the detection protrusion 19 is detected by the close detection sensor 37, the cover lock mechanism 35 may lock the cover 16 in the closed state.

  Next, the return time will be described. The person in charge opens the cover 16 that has been unlocked, and the keys listed in the key identification notation 44 of the key holder 11 with the key 10 out of the key holder 31 where the display lamp 50 is flashing. The key holder 11 is inserted into the attaching / detaching member mounting hole 45 of the key holding part 31 having the holding part identification notation part 53 in which the same key type identification number as the identification number is indicated (one or more). Then, the control unit 115 reads the key identification number from the IC tag 43 of the key holder 11 by the IC tag reader 52, and whether or not the key identification number matches the key identification number of the key holding unit 31. Confirm. Only when these key identification numbers match, the return of the key holder 11 with the key 10 is detected, and the key holder 11 is locked by the key lock mechanism 46. At the same time, the control unit 115 writes the time when the key holder 11 with the key 10 is detected in the return time of the latest take-out status data having the key identification number stored in the storage unit 116.

  On the other hand, the control unit 115 does not lock the key holder 11 by the key lock mechanism 46 when the key identification numbers of the key holding unit 31 and the key 10 do not match, and the display lamp of the operation button 51 of the key holding unit 31 50 is turned on to generate a notification sound by the buzzer 26 and an alarm display on the display unit 22 (including a display for guiding correct operation).

"Exchange mode"
The exchange mode will be described. After the ID card 23 is scanned by the card reader 24, the exchange mode is selected, and a password set for permitting management of the key 10 is input to the operation unit 21. Then, the control unit 115 compares the person-in-charge identification number of the ID card 23 read by the card reader 24 and the personal identification number input to the operation unit 21 with the data stored in the storage unit 116 to thereby determine the person-in-charge identification number and It is determined whether or not the password is proper for executing the exchange mode. When it is appropriate, that is, when the identification number of the person in charge who has been given specific authority to execute the exchange mode and the personal identification number are input, the control unit 115 drives the cover lock mechanism 35 to unlock the cover 16. In addition, a screen for prompting the selection operation of the key holding unit 31 to be exchanged is displayed on the display unit 22, and a key holding unit having a key identification number that has been registered and can be exchanged with respect to the inputted person identification number The display lamp 50 of the operation button 51 provided for 31 is blinked. The person in charge opens the cover 16 and presses the operation button 51 of the desired key holder 31 to be exchanged (one or more) from among the operation buttons 51 whose display lamps 50 are blinking.

  Then, the control unit 115 recognizes that the key identification number of the key holding unit 31 where the operation button 51 is pressed is selected and specified, and the key of the key holding unit 31 provided with the operation button 51 is recognized. The lock mechanism 46 is driven to release the lock so that the key holder 11 can be removed, and the display lamp 50 of the operation button 51 is switched from blinking to lighting to guide this state. Thus, the person in charge removes the key holder 11 from the key holding unit 31 by releasing the lock state of the key holding unit 31. Even when the key identification number is input to the operation unit 21, the control unit 115 recognizes the selected and designated key holding unit 31, drives the key lock mechanism 46 to release the lock, and displays the display lamp 50. Switch from blinking to lighting. The key holder 11 held by the operation button 51 or the key holding unit 31 designated by the operation unit 21 is a target for releasing the connection state of the key 10 by the connection mechanism 61 as will be described later. 50 guides the designated key holder 11 by switching from blinking to lighting.

  When the key holder 11 is removed from the key holding unit 31, the control unit 115 detects the removal because the IC tag reader 52 of the key holding unit 31 cannot communicate with the IC tag 43 of the key holder 11. Then, the control unit 115 presses the identification number of the person in charge of the ID card 23 read when the key holder 11 is removed, the key identification number of the key holding unit 31 where the operation button 51 is pressed, and the operation button 51. When the key holder 11 is removed from the key holder 31 and the key 10 replacement time of the key holder 11 (at this time, the data is blank because it has not been changed), the operation button 51 is pressed. The replacement status data including the re-attachment time to the key holding unit 31 (the data is blank because it is before re-attachment at this time) is stored in the storage unit 116. In addition, in this distribution status data, the release tool use start time when the use of the release tool 101 of the storage unit 34 is started (the data is blank because it is before use at this time), and the release tool 101 The release tool use end time when the use is finished (data is blank because it is before use at this point) is included.

  In the example of the distribution status data shown in FIG. 8B, the key holder 11 is moved from the key holding unit 31 with the key identification number “021”, and the person in charge with the person identification number “711” is “13”. ： 15 ”removal time,“ 13:17 ”replacement time, key 10 changed,“ 13:18 ”time of reattachment error,“ 13:19 ”reattachment time The release tool 101 is used by the person in charge of the person in charge identification number “711” at the start time of use of the release tool “13:16” with respect to the storage unit 34 having the identification number “000”. This indicates that the use is finished at the release tool use end time of “13:20”. That is, the control unit 115 stores the removal time and reattachment time as detection results of the IC tag reader 52 and the replacement time as detection result of the IC tag reader 107 in the storage unit 116 in association with the key identification number. .

  Then, each time the key 10 is changed, the control unit 115 causes the storage unit 116 to store the above-described replacement status data in a time series, and creates storage log data.

  Next, the control unit 115 causes the display unit 22 to display a screen that prompts input of usage information of the key 10 after replacement of the key holding unit 31 from which the key holder 11 has been removed, and accepts the input of usage information. Become. The person in charge re-enters the usage information through kana input, alphabet input, or the like using the operation key 21a of the operation unit 21. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, as the usage information for the key identification number “001”, “kinko villa” is input as it is changed to before, or the usage information for the key identification number “002” is input. As information, enter “ATM1 Gouki Tobira” as before, or as “Usage information for key identification number“ 003 ”, enter“ ATM1 Gouki Shunoko A Key ”as changed as before. Or, as the usage information for the key identification number “004”, “ATM1 GOKI KAISHUKO Kagi” is input as changed. When the input is performed in this way, the control unit 115 stores the use information in the storage unit 116 in association with the key identification number selected and specified at the time of the input. That is, when the control unit 115 receives the selection designation of the key holding unit 31 to the operation button 51 or the operation unit 21, the control unit 115 relates to the key identification number of the selected and designated key holding unit 31 and the selection designation. The application information input by the operation unit 21 is associated with and stored in the storage unit 116.

  When an operation input indicating that the use information has been input is input to the operation unit 21, the control unit 115 causes the display unit 22 to display a screen that prompts the user to change the key 10 and is provided to the storage unit 34. The display lamp 113 of the operation button 114 is blinked. In view of this, the person in charge presses the operation button 114. Then, the control unit 115 switches the display lamp 113 from blinking to lighting, and drives the door lock mechanism 111 to unlock the open / close door 110 of the storage unit 34. Thereafter, the person in charge opens the opening / closing door 110 of the storage unit 34. As described above, the control unit 115 permits access to the release tool 101 based on the authentication result of the person-in-charge identification number of the ID card 23 and the input password. When the opening / closing door 110 is opened, the closing detection sensor 112 detects this, and at that time, the control unit 115 determines the time as the release tool use start time of the release tool 101 of the replacement status data described above. Is stored in the storage unit 116.

  Then, as described above, the person in charge inserts the connecting member main body 63 of the connecting member 41 into the storage portion 34 and causes the release tool 101 to enter the keyway 91, thereby restricting the slide body 70 by the slide restricting portion 72. After the release, the slide body 70 is moved relative to the case 69 and moved to the unlock position. Then, while maintaining this state, the linear member 62 is removed from the connecting member main body 63, and the old key 10 that has been attached so far is removed from the linear member 62 and the new key 10 is attached.

  When the connecting member main body 63 is inserted into the storage portion 34, the IC tag reader 107 shown in FIG. 5B provided on the connecting member main body 63 reads the key identification number from the IC tag 100 of the connecting member main body 63. Thus, when the key identification number matches the key identification number of the key storage unit 31 selected and designated, the control unit 115 sets the time as the replacement time of the replacement status data in the key identification number. Is stored in the storage unit 116. If the key identification numbers do not match, an alarm such as a notification sound by the buzzer 26 and an alarm display on the display unit 22 (including a display for guiding correct operation) is generated, and the system waits until the key identification numbers match. .

  When the key 10 of the linear member 62 is changed, the person in charge attaches the linear member 62 to the slide body 70 in the unlocking position, and then pulls out the connecting member main body 63 from the storage portion 34 to release the release tool 101. Moves the slide body 70 to the lock position with respect to the case 69, and then comes out.

  Then, the person in charge has finished replacing the key 10 in the attachment / detachment member mounting hole 45 of the key holding unit 31 having the holding unit identification notation unit 53 having the same notation as the key identification notation unit 44 of the attachment / detachment member 40 of the key holder 11. The detachable member 40 of the key holder 11 is inserted. Then, in the key holding unit 31, the IC tag reader 52 communicates with the IC tag 43 of the detachable member 40 to read out the key identification number, and the IC tag reader that detects the key identification number and the key identification number is detected. If the key identification number of the key holding unit 31 having 52 matches, the key holder 11 is locked by the key lock mechanism 46 and the display lamp 50 of the operation button 51 provided for the key holding unit 31 is used. Blinks. If the key identification numbers do not match, the buzzer 26 is not locked and an alarm sound is displayed on the display unit 22 and an alarm is displayed on the display unit 22 (including a display for guiding correct operation), until the key identification numbers match. stand by. When the key identification numbers match, the control unit 115 causes the storage unit 116 to store the time as the reattachment time of the replacement status data described above.

  Such a step of selecting and specifying the operation button 51 of the key holding unit 31, a step of inputting usage information, a step of storing the association of the key identification number and the usage information of the selected and specified key holding unit 31, the key holder 11 Key identification number detection by the IC tag reader 107 from the IC tag 100 of the connecting member 41 and confirmation of matching of the key identification number, and keys by the IC tag reader 52 from the IC tag 43 of the detachable member 40 of the key holder 11 The steps of detecting the identification number and confirming the coincidence of the key identification numbers are performed for the number of the keys 10. In the meantime, by comparing with the reference step data stored in the storage unit 116, for example, before the opening detection step of the opening / closing door 110 by the closing detection sensor 112 or the IC of the connecting member 41 of the key holder 11. Before the step of detecting the key identification number by the IC tag reader 107 from the tag 100, the step of detecting the key identification number by the IC tag reader 52 from the IC tag 43 of the detachable member 40 of the key holder 11 is performed. If there is an error in the order of steps, the control unit 115 generates a notification sound by the buzzer 26, an alarm display on the display unit 22 (including a display for guiding correct operation), and the like.

  When the replacement of the key 10 is completed, the person in charge closes the opening / closing door 110 of the storage unit 34. Then, the closing detection sensor 112 detects this, and the control unit 115 locks the open / close door 110 in the closed state by the door lock mechanism 111 and displays on the display unit 22 a prompt for an operation to close the cover 16. Do. Then, the person in charge closes the cover 16. Then, the engagement protrusion 18 of the cover 16 enters the engagement insertion hole 32 of the apparatus main body 14, and the detection protrusion 19 of the cover 16 enters the detection insertion hole 33 of the apparatus main body 14. Thus, when the close detection sensor 37 detects this detection protrusion 19, the cover lock mechanism 35 automatically locks the cover 16 in the closed state, and the exchange mode is terminated. In this case, the cover lock mechanism 35 may lock the cover 16 in the closed state when a lock operation is input to the operation unit 21 with the detection protrusion 19 detected by the close detection sensor 37.

  In addition, when the close detection sensor 112 detects the closed state of the door 110, the control unit 115 stores the time in the storage unit 116 as the above-described release tool use end time of the replacement status data. Also in this case, by comparing with the reference step data stored in the storage unit 116, for example, before the step of opening / closing the door 110 by the closing detection sensor 112, or from the IC tag 100 of the key holder 11 Before the step of detecting the key identification number by the tag reader 107, and before the step of redetecting the key identification number by the IC tag reader 52 from the IC tag 43 of the key holder 11, the closing detection sensor 37 detects the key identification number. If there is an error in the order of the steps, such as detecting the closed state of the protrusion 19, that is, the cover 16, the control unit 115 displays a notification sound by the buzzer 26 and an alarm display on the display unit 22 (including a display for guiding correct operation). ) Etc.

  As described above, the control unit 115 removes the key holder 11 held by the key holding unit 31 guided by the display lamp 50 of the operation button 51 from the apparatus main body 12, and opens and closes the opening / closing door 110 to the release tool 101. The step of accessing, the step of reattaching the removed key holder 11 to the apparatus main body 12, and the step of reading the key identification number from the IC tag 100 by the IC tag reader 107 are confirmed. Then, the control unit 115 performs a match confirmation between a predetermined order registered in advance in the storage unit 116 of the step and an order advanced during the actual operation of the step, and notifies the match confirmation result.

  In the exchange mode, when the lock of the key holding part 31 having the exchangeable key identification number can be unlocked by the operation button 51, the lock of the opening / closing door 110 of the storage part 34 can be operated by the operation button 114. As described above, after the key 10 is replaced, the key holder 11 is inserted into the attachment / detachment member mounting hole 45 of the target key holding unit 31, and the IC tag reader 52 communicates with the IC tag 43 of the key holder 11 to identify the keys. After confirming the coincidence of the numbers, the usage information corresponding to the key identification number may be input to the operation unit 21.

"New registration mode"
In the new registration mode, the control unit 115 drives the cover lock mechanism 35 to lock the cover 16 only when the person-in-charge identification number and the personal identification number to which the specific authority to execute the new registration mode is input. Except for canceling, it is almost the same as the exchange mode.

"Log Output Mode"
The log output mode will be described. After the ID card 23 is scanned by the card reader 24, the log output mode is selected, and a password set for permitting management of the key 10 is input to the operation unit 21. Then, the control unit 115 compares the person-in-charge identification number of the ID card 23 read by the card reader 24 and the personal identification number input to the operation unit 21 with the data stored in the storage unit 116 to thereby determine the person-in-charge identification number and It is determined whether or not the password is proper for executing the log output mode. If it is appropriate, the control unit 115 reads the above-described storage log data stored in the storage unit 116, and the keys included in each take-out status data and each distribution status data constituting the storage log data. For each identification number (that is, the key identification number of the key holding unit 31 that has received the selection designation), the associated usage information is read from the storage unit 116 and is associated with each of the carry-out status data and the distribution status data. Include usage information.

  In this manner, output log data (log information including usage information) as shown in FIG. 9 is created in which take-out status data and distribution status data each including usage information are arranged in time series. In the example of output log data shown in FIG. 9, the key 10 of “Kinto Villa” from the key holding unit 31 having the key identification number of “001” on the date of “2012/3/3” The person in charge of the person identification number of “777” took out at the takeout time of “10:10” and returned at the return time of “10:20”, and the key holding unit 31 of the key identification number of “002”. The key 10 with usage information of “ATM1 Gobira” is taken out by the person in charge with the identification number of “789” at the take-out time of “10:15” and returned at the return time of “10:25” The key 10 having the usage information of “ATM1 Gouki Shunoko A Key” from the key holding unit 31 of the key identification number “003” is assigned to the person in charge of the person in charge identification number “789” “10:16 ”At the take-out time of“ 10: 2 The key 10 having the usage information of “ATM1 Goki Kaishu Kagi” from the key holding unit 31 with the key identification number “004” is returned by the person in charge with the person identification number “789”. , “10:17” is taken out, and “10:27” is returned at the return time.

  In addition, in the example of the output log data shown in FIG. 9, the key holder 11 with the key 10 is moved from the key holding unit 31 having the key identification number “021” to the person identification number “711”. The person in charge removes at the removal time of “13:15”, replaces the key 10 at the replacement time of “13:17”, mistakes the reattachment at the time of “13:18”, It indicates that it was properly installed at the time of re-installation, and that the application was changed to “Kinko Villa”. Furthermore, the person in charge of the person identification number “711” starts using the release tool 101 for the storage unit 34 with the identification number “000” at the release tool use start time “13:16”. , “13:20” indicates that the use is finished at the release tool use end time. In other words, the control unit 115 and the storage unit 116 leave a confirmation status of the order of steps that have progressed during the operation as a history. At that time, a history of the mistaken procedure is also recorded. For example, when a plurality of key holders 11 are designated and the key 10 is changed, it can be seen from which history the key 10 has been changed in order from the history.

  Here, the output log data includes, for example, take-out status data and replacement status data stored after the take-out status data and replacement status data included in the output log data that was output last time. Data, which is composed of take-out status data and replacement status data stored on the day of output, and which is composed of take-out status data and delivery status data stored on the date or period specified and input to the operation unit 21 Things.

  Then, the control unit 115 causes the printer unit 25 to output the output log data created in this way onto a sheet. The log data for output may not be output to paper by the printer unit 25 but may be output and stored in a data management device comprising a separate personal computer. Output to paper and storage in the data management device You may do both.

  The control unit 115 does not cause the printer unit 25 to output the output log data when the operation unit 21 accepts the output operation as described above, but starts from a reference time point when the main power is turned on. It may be determined whether the predetermined time has elapsed, and when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the output log data may be output to a sheet or a separate data management device. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, one week) has elapsed since the reference time when the log data for output was output last time, and is output when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed. Log data may be output to paper or a separate data management device. Alternatively, the control unit 115 uses the clock function to determine whether or not a predetermined time has been set in advance, and when determining that the predetermined time has been reached, the control unit 115 outputs the log data for output on a sheet or separately. The data may be output to the data management apparatus. Furthermore, you may make it combine these suitably.
