<About the winder>
The winder 6 is an instrument capable of winding the mooring wire 5. By winding the mooring wire 5 by the winder 6, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the mooring wire 5 hangs down on the outdoor side and spoils the aesthetic appearance of the house.

The winder 6 is preferably configured so that the mooring wire 5 can be wound on a reel by the urging of the mainspring. For example, the winder 6 urges the reel in the direction of winding the mooring wire 5 around the reel and the outer circumference of the reel, and stores rotational energy when the reel is rotated in the direction of sending out the mooring wire 5. The reel can be rotated by the urging of the mainspring to wind the mooring wire 5 around the outer circumference of the reel. However, the winder 6 may be configured to wind the mooring wire 5 on a reel by a manual rotation operation, or may be configured to wind the mooring wire 5 on a reel by an electric actuator. ..

When the winder 6 includes an electric actuator, the actuator of the winder 6 interlocks with the drive unit (electric lock) of the lower lock unit 40 and the upper lock unit 41 for advancing and retreating the lower dead bolt 400 and the upper dead bolt 410.

Further, the cut is maintained in a state where the portion in contact with the mooring wire 5 is elastically deformed when the mooring wire 5 is inserted and is in close contact with the mooring wire 5.

Next, FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a function included in the mooring device 1 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the mooring device 1 has a disconnection detection unit 10 and a notification unit 11. The cut detection unit 10 detects the cut of the mooring wire 5. The method by which the cut detection unit 10 detects the cut of the mooring wire 5 is arbitrary. For example, when the folded portion 50 of the mooring wire 5 is provided so as to straddle the plate portion 433c as in the mooring device 1 of the present embodiment (see FIG. 2), the mooring wire 5 is wound if it is not cut. The winding amount of the mooring wire 5 in the taker 6 does not exceed a predetermined amount. The cut detection unit 10 may detect the cut of the mooring wire 5 when the winding amount of the mooring wire 5 in the winder 6 exceeds a predetermined amount.

When the winder 6 includes an electric actuator, the cut detection unit 10 may detect the cut of the mooring wire 5 from the output of the electric actuator. For example, when winding the mooring wire 5, if the mooring wire 5 is not cut, the folded portion 50 of the mooring wire 5 hangs on the plate portion 433c. When the folded-back portion 50 hangs on the plate portion 433c, the output torque of the electric actuator of the winder 6 increases. The cut detection unit 10 may detect the cut of the mooring wire 5 based on whether or not the output torque of the electric actuator of the winder 6 increases.

The cut detection unit 10 may pass a current through an electric circuit including the mooring wire 5 and detect the break of the mooring wire 5 based on whether or not the current flows through the electric circuit or the resistance value of the electric circuit. When the mooring wire 5 is cut, no current flows through the electric circuit including the mooring wire 5, or the resistance value of the electric circuit becomes very large. The cut detection unit 10 can determine whether or not to pass a current through the mooring wire 5 based on the open / closed state of the door 3 and / or the locked body. For example, the disconnection detection unit 10 can pass an electric current through the mooring wire 5 only when it has detected that the door 3 is locked. As a result, power consumption can be reduced. The cut detection unit 10 can determine that the door 3 is locked when at least one of the lower dead bolt 400 and the upper dead bolt 410 protrudes from the side end portion 32.

The notification unit 11 notifies the disconnection of the mooring wire 5 when the disconnection detection unit 10 detects the disconnection of the mooring wire 5. The notification unit 11 may notify the disconnection of the mooring wire 5 by sound and / or display. The notification unit 11 may also serve as a speaker or display unit that notifies that the unlocking / locking operation by the user has been detected.

Next, a method of using the mooring device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. When the delivery of the delivery is expected while the user is out, the user arranges the delivery container 2 near the outdoor side of the door 3. At this time, the user may pull out the mooring wire 5 from the lower part of the outdoor door handle 43 and hook the mooring wire 5 on the delivery container 2 (temporarily fix it).

The courier company accommodates the courier in the courier container 2 when the user is absent, closes the courier container 2, and then connects the mooring wire 5 to the courier container 2 using the padlock 7. When the padlock 7 is a dial lock, the personal identification number can be written on the delivery slip and the delivery slip can be posted to the mailbox.

The user who has returned home unlocks the padlock 7 based on the PIN code written on the delivery slip, and collects the parcels from the parcel delivery container 2. After that, the user can wind the mooring wire 5 by the winder 6. When the winder 6 includes a mainspring, the mooring wire 5 is automatically wound on the reel by the urging of the mainspring when the user releases the mooring wire 5. The mooring wire 5 may be wound by the winder 6 by a manual rotation operation or an electric actuator operation.

In such a mooring device 1, a part of the mooring wire 5 is fixed to a member on the indoor side of the door 3, so that theft prevention can be improved. Further, since the mooring wire 5 is pulled out to the outdoor side of the door 3 through the opening provided in the door 3 for attaching the opening / closing lock portion 4 to the door 3, it is possible to avoid limiting the function of the door 3. ..

Further, since the mooring wire 5 is fixed to the indoor door handle 42, it is possible to eliminate the need for a dedicated configuration for fixing the mooring wire 5, and it is possible to reduce the risk of spoiling the aesthetic appearance of the indoor side.

Further, since the mooring wire 5 can be wound by the winder 6 arranged on the indoor side of the door 3, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the mooring wire 5 hangs down on the outdoor side of the door 3 and spoils the aesthetic appearance of the house.

Further, since the wire outlet 433 for pulling out the mooring wire 5 from the outdoor door handle 43 is open downward, the mooring wire 5 is pulled out toward the delivery container 2 when the mooring wire 5 is pulled out toward the delivery container 2. The risk of interference with the door handle 43 can be reduced.

Further, since the wire outlet 433 is provided on the cover member 435, the mooring wire 5 can also serve as a strap for the cover member 435, and the risk of losing the cover member 435 can be reduced.

Further, when the disconnection detection unit 10 detects the disconnection of the mooring wire 5, the notification unit 11 notifies the disconnection of the mooring wire 5, so that the convenience can be improved.
