However, such a configuration is not adopted for highly designed cages because it easily loses design. In addition, when a wallet is placed in a lock or a dial-type lockable basket, it takes time and effort and trouble to unlock the basket when eating and drinking or shopping and putting the wallet in and out. In addition, if the key is lost or the password is lost, the key must be broken, or the key may not be used because otherwise. In addition, there is a risk of stealing personal information and business information such as a license, business information, valuables, etc., and theft, etc., in unlocked shoulder bags and backpacks etc. It becomes vulnerable to damage. There is also the danger of misplacement and misplacement of whales on trains etc.

  Among other things, in a cage provided with a fastener, a locking / unlocking member provided on the front side of the basket and a back side engaged therewith are provided in order to lock the slider with the fastener closed. There is known a zipper-type fastener lock that uses an anchor member (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  There is also known a storage system provided with locking means for electrically locking the storage bag, and control means for unlocking the locking means when the information received by the communication means matches the personal identification number (e.g. Reference 2).

  Of the two sliders 4 and 5, one slider 4 is provided with an engagement protrusion 41 on the back surface side. The other slider 5 is provided with a lock unit 51 on the back surface side for engaging with the engagement projection 41. The lock unit 51 drives the lock mechanism 54 in response to an operation instruction from the remote control device 7 and the lock mechanism 54 engaged with the engagement projection 41, the slider detection switch 60 for detecting that the sliders 4 and 5 are butted. A drive unit and the like (described in detail later) are provided. The lock mechanism 54 includes a key-like lock lever 54 a that is penetrated through a key hole 41 a provided in the engagement protrusion 41 of the slider 4. The lock lever 54a has a key 54b which extends in the moving direction of the slider 5 and has an L-shaped bent end, and the lock lever 54a is rotationally driven about its axial center, whereby the key 54b is engaged with the projection 41. It wraps around the rear end surface to prevent the slider 4 from moving in the opening direction. When the slider detection switch 60 detects that the two sliders 4 and 5 are butted, the drive unit or the like of the lock unit 51 is in a standby state in which the lock operation can be performed.

  The lock lever 54a is provided with a release gear 59 which is manually rotated from the outside to release the lock when the fastener lock device 1 is abnormal. The release gear 59 is fixed to the lock lever 54a corresponding to the manual operation position P of the gap between the sliders 4 and 5 that are abutted. The user inserts the pointed needle-like member or jig with a pointed tip into the manual operation position P from the outside of the moss 2 and rotates the release gear 59 by a predetermined angle in the unlocking direction, thereby unlocking the lock lever 54a It is possible to The release gear 59 is used when the lock of the lock mechanism 54 can not be released due to the failure of the fastener lock device 1 and the consumption of the power supply unit 57 (battery), etc. Although this can be done, the release gear 59 can be omitted if the highly reliable lock unit 51 is embodied.

  FIG. 4 shows the configuration of one slider 4. The slider 4 is provided with an engagement projection 41 on the back side of the slider main body having an engagement hole 43 through which the element of the fastener 3 passes, and the engagement projection 41 is provided with a key hole 41 a extending in the moving direction of the slider 4 The key hole 41 a has an opening 41 b on the back side of the engagement protrusion 41. When the sliders 4 and 5 are moved in the butting direction, the lock lever 54a of the lock mechanism 54 of the slider 5 penetrates the keyhole 41a, and the key 54b penetrates the opening 41b.

  FIG. 5 shows the lock unit 51 provided on the other slider 5, and FIG. 6 shows the component configuration of the lock unit 51. The slider 5 is provided with a lock unit 51 on the back side of the slider body having a meshing hole 53 through which the element of the fastener 3 passes. The lock unit 51 controls the operation of the drive unit 55 by receiving a wireless signal from the drive unit 55 such as a motor for rotating the lock lever 54 a of the lock mechanism 54 and the remote control device 7 outside the cage 2. The electronic circuit 56 and a power supply unit 57 such as a battery for supplying power to the drive unit 55 and the electronic circuit 56 are provided. Each of these parts is built in a resin case case 58. The housing case 58 is attached to the back side of the slider 5. The lock lever 54a of the lock mechanism 54 penetrates through the key hole 41a of the slider 4 when moving the sliders 4 and 5 in the butt direction, and the key 54b at the tip of the lock lever 54a faces the back direction of the slider 5 at that time. It is in the same posture (home position), and passes through the opening 41 b of the keyhole 41 a of the slider 4. The slider detection switch 60 is provided on the facing surface of the housing case 58 facing the slider 4. The release gear 59 is fixed to the root of the lock lever 54a. The drive unit 55 may have a small power by transmitting its rotational output to the lock mechanism 54 via the reduction gear.

  FIG. 7 shows a block configuration of the lock unit 51. The electronic circuit 56 includes a communication module 56c wirelessly communicating with the remote control device 7, and a microcomputer 56a operating according to the communication result by the communication module 56c. The microcomputer 56a controls the remote control via the communication module 56c. When the lock / unlock signal sent from the device 7 is received, the drive unit 55 is operated to operate the lock mechanism 54. When it is determined that the cage 2 and the remote control device 7 are separated by a predetermined distance or more, the drive unit 55 is operated to lock the sliders 4 and 5 by the lock mechanism 54 or via the communication module 56c. Then, a warning signal is sent to the remote control device 7. The remote control device 7 previously downloads an application for using the fastener lock device 1 via the network, and sets an individual ID address, a password, and the like for communication with the microcomputer 56a.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the lock unit 51 includes a GPS module 56b for position detection, an abnormality detection sensor 61, and an abnormality alarm 62 such as a buzzer. The GPS module 56 b detects the position of the moss 2. The abnormality detection sensor 61 is, for example, a pressure sensor provided at an appropriate position of the lock mechanism 54, and detects that a predetermined or more stress is applied to the sliders 4 and 5 in the opening direction when the sliders 4 and 5 are locked. The abnormality alarm 62 notifies the outside of the moss 2 that the moss 2 is in an abnormal state. The microcomputer 56a operates the drive unit 55, the abnormality annunciator 62, and the like based on the signals from the GPS module 56b and the communication module 56c, and the detection signals of the slider detection switch 60 and the abnormality detection sensor 61.

  The operation of the fastener lock device 1 configured as described above will be described again with reference to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). When the user moves the sliders 4 and 5 of the fastener 3 in the closing direction and abuts from the state in which the sliders 4 and 5 of the fastener 3 are in the unlocked state shown in FIG. The lock lever 54a passes through the keyhole 41a of the engagement projection 41, and the key 54b passes through the opening 41b of the keyhole 41a. When the slider detection switch 60 detects that the sliders 4 and 5 are in contact, the microcomputer 56a in the electronic circuit 56 recognizes that the lockable standby state is in effect. In this standby state, when the user is able to communicate between the remote control device 7 owned by the user and the lock unit 51, the microcomputer 56a operates as a communication module when the user operates the remote control device 7 to transmit a lock signal at the time of locking. The lock signal sent from the remote control device 7 is received via 56c. Then, the microcomputer 56a operates the drive unit 55 to rotate the lock lever 54a of the lock mechanism 54 by a predetermined angle (for example, 90 degrees). As a result, as shown in FIG. 3B, the key 54b at the tip of the lock lever 54a wraps around the rear end face of the engagement projection 41, and the slider 4 is locked.

  As described above, at the time of locking operation, the lock lever 54a of the lock mechanism 54 is penetrated through the key hole 41a of the engagement projection 41, and simultaneously the key 54b is passed through the opening 41b, and then the lock lever 54a is simply rotated about the axial center. , The sliders 4 and 5 can be locked. Here, the key hole 41a and the lock lever 54a can be easily and reliably obtained with a simple structure extending in the moving direction of the sliders 4 and 5. The configurations of the lock mechanism 54 and the engagement projection 41 can be arbitrarily changed without being limited to the above, and, for example, the lock lever 54a is a frame, and the frame is placed on the engagement projection 41. It may be configured to be rotated and locked.

  In order to release the lock, when the user operates the remote control device 7 to send an unlock signal, the microcomputer 56a receives the unlock signal sent from the remote control device 7 via the communication module 56c. Then, the microcomputer 56a operates the drive unit 55 in the reverse direction to rotate the lock lever 54a by a predetermined angle, whereby the key 54b of the lock lever 54a can pass through the opening 41b of the key hole 41a. 54a comes out of the keyhole 41a of the engagement projection 41 of the slider 4 and the slider 4 is in the unlocked state.

  Thus, according to the fastener lock device 1 of the present embodiment, the user can remotely lock / unlock (lock / unlock) the sliders 4 and 5 of the fastener 3 of the basket 2 by remote control using the remote control device 7. This can be performed by the lock unit 51 provided inside the class 2. This means that the lock function can be imparted to the moss 2 without affecting the appearance design of the moss 2 at all, which can greatly contribute to the degree of freedom and convenience of the appearance design of the moss 2. Further, since the lock unit 51 is provided inside the cage 2, there is a large degree of freedom in designing it to have a strong lock function.

  Further, the microcomputer 56a recognizes the distance between the moss 2 and the remote control device 7 through the communication module 56c, and when it is determined that the moss 2 is separated from the remote control device 7 by a predetermined distance or more, In the security mode, the lock mechanism 54 is automatically operated to lock the sliders 4 and 5, and the abnormality annunciator 62 is operated as needed, or a warning signal is sent to the remote control device 7 through the communication module 56c. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user from leaving the trapezoid 2 or the trapezoid 2 being carried away by a suspicious person. The distance of the security mode can be arbitrarily set in multiple stages. For example, when the cage 2 is separated from the remote control device 7 held by the user at the distance of the first setting, the lock of the cage 2 is automatically locked, and the cage 2 is misplaced at the second setting distance, When taken away by another person and left, the alarm buzzer sounds and the deterrent effect such as theft works and the automatic control can be notified to the user's remote control device 7 by the notification. In addition, when the whale 2 is lost or stolen, the tracking function using the GPS module 56b enables the whale 2 to be found and recovered easily.

  Furthermore, in the locked state of the sliders 4 and 5, when a predetermined stress or more is applied to the sliders 4 and 5 in the opening direction, stress is applied to the lock lever 54a, so the abnormality detection sensor 61 detects it. When the microcomputer 56a receives an abnormality detection signal, the microcomputer 56a determines that there is an abnormal state, such as a cheating in the whale 2, and operates the abnormality alarm 62 to issue a warning by voice or the like. At this time, the microcomputer 56a may send a warning signal or an electronic mail to the remote control device 7 through the communication module 56c. The detected information can be recorded on the application system side as the date and the number of times.

  The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, the remote control device 7 may be a terminal dedicated to this device, and the engagement projection 41 and the lock unit 51 may be retrofittable to the sliders 4 and 5 of the moss 2. The drive unit 55 is not limited to a motor, and a drive mechanism such as a plunger may be used. Although it is desirable that the slider detection switch 60, the abnormality detection sensor 61, the abnormality alarm 62, and the like be provided, these need not necessarily be provided. In addition, if a smartphone is used as the remote control device 7 and the access point and the Internet are used in Wi-Fi communication, position information can be acquired, so that the same operation can be obtained without using the GPS module 56 b. In addition, the user can transmit an electronic key to a trusted third party's portable terminal so that the electronic key can be unlocked, and using a one-time key, only a specific person can unlock it. It is also possible. Further, although the present invention has been described as a fastener lock device for whales, it can be applied as a smart lock to storage case doors, office desk drawers, etc. as well as whales, and a form applied to such applications It is included.
