Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention makes it possible for the delivery of cleaning items (requested items before washing and finished products after washing) to be unmanned by a locker system, which is efficient and convenient for both. The present invention relates to a delivery device for unmanned use in cleaning, which can perform a delivery operation in an efficient manner.

(Prior art) In recent cleaning systems, the method of performing integrated operations from the delivery of laundry to the cleaning work in a store has been reduced. There is a rapidly increasing number of methods in which stores only deliver goods, deliver the laundry received at the store to a work factory, and simultaneously process the laundry collected from each store at the factory, and then deliver the laundry to each store. The general flow of this system is that the client brings the laundry to the cleaning shop, pays the fee, and receives a request certificate (receipt receipt) in which the reference number is described. Next, the store gives the laundry a serial number that is the same as the order certificate, hands the laundry to a deliveryman who comes several times a day, and the deliveryman takes it back to the work factory and sends it to the cleaning process to send it to the cleaning factory. Perform cleaning work. The cleaned finished product is stored in the store where it was delivered to the original store by the delivery person, and the finished product with the same number as the serial number of the request certificate brought when the client came to get the finished product The requester receives and receives the request, and the series of delivery ends.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, the above-mentioned conventional system has some problems, for example, a delivery place is a cleaning shop, which is subject to time restrictions, and the client is required to be in the early morning or at night. Even if you want to go to order or pick up, there is nothing to do if the store is closed, it is troublesome to place an order at the store when you are busy, and it is troublesome for the client side. The rationalization of stores that only carry out delivery operations can greatly reduce personnel and store equipment costs, but this cannot be solved at this stage.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and in the flow of the cleaning system, the delivery process is made unmanned by a locker-type device so that the rationalization is achieved and the client side can easily use it. It is another object of the present invention to provide an unmanned delivery device for cleaning which enables delivery at an arbitrary time without being restricted by time.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gist of the present invention for achieving the above object is to provide a locker section in which lockers each having an automatic lock mechanism are provided, a storage box section for storing laundry, and In a rocker-type delivery device comprising a control unit that performs each control operation, at least a reception date when collectively loading laundry into a plastic bag or the like from an input port of the storage box unit,
Output means for outputting a receipt in which information of confirmation of the number by inputting the serial number or the number of laundry to be written is output, and an output means for opening and closing the slot by an opening / closing operation button is provided. An input means for inputting a locker number and an output means for outputting a cleaning fee and a storage locker number at the time of reading accompanying insertion of the receipt are released, and the storage locker is automatically unlocked when an amount corresponding to the cleaning fee is received. And a delivery device for unattended cleaning in which cleaning finished products can be delivered.

(Operation) As described above, with the transfer device of the present invention, a fixed charge or individually recognizable card (such as a membership card) is inserted and inserted in advance to start the operation, and the necessary amount of plastic bags and the like are taken out. Put the laundry in the bag. Next, at least on the date of receipt, a receipt will appear with the reference number information (it is also possible to enter the number of laundry items self-reported and write the number confirmation information), so check the receipt and store it. The loading opening of the box is opened by the opening operation button, and the laundry is thrown in. When all the throwing in is completed, the loading opening is closed and locked by the closing operation button. Therefore, a laundry contractor periodically collects the laundry stored in the storage box, performs a cleaning process at the factory, and delivers the finished product to the apparatus again. Is input by input means such as a computer input key in the control unit, and the finished product is stored in the storage locker. If the requester inserts the receipt from the insertion slot after the finishing date and time, the information on the receipt is read in the control unit and the cleaning fee and the storage locker number are collated with the information, so if the displayed fee is paid, the storage locker Is unlocked, and the finished product in the locker can be picked up.

In addition, a device for storing laundry and storing finished products in a locker section provided with each locker having an auto-lock mechanism without providing a box for storing laundry, which operates in substantially the same manner. However, the user does not put the laundry in the storage box, and stores the laundry in the designated locker (automatic lock release). Further, in the case where the laundry check means is provided in the present apparatus, since the number of sheets is detected or confirmed by the check means, and a sticker with a serial number is attached to the laundry, respectively. No difference occurs between the number actually requested and the number ordered by the cleaning contractor,
Later troubles can be prevented. When the number check is completed, a receipt with information such as the locker number to be used is written out, and at the same time the specified locker is unlocked, so the client receives the receipt and stores the laundry in the locker with the specified number. Then close the door.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Are provided so that they can be unlocked and released separately. (11) is a data input key, which is an input means for inputting a cleaning fee for the finished product and a designated locker number to be stored, etc. After inputting the designated locker number, the designated locker is locked in conjunction with the unlocking operation (10c). Since it is released, the finished product may be stored. Also, in order to check the deposit status of the collected lockers, if the constitution is such that the amount is displayed on the display section (8a) by inputting the number of the corresponding locker with the data input key (11), each locker can be used. The deposit status of is obvious. (12) is a receipt insertion slot, which has a built-in reading device that reads each piece of information on the receipt. The read information is compared with the data input by the trader in advance in the control unit to detect the corresponding finished product In addition, a charge table (invoice) in which items such as a charge and a storage locker are printed by a printing device is provided so as to come out from a charge table take-out port (13). Furthermore, if the client drops a fee from the fee slot (14) (or inserts a card instead of money), the fee is discriminated by the fee discriminating device and designated only when it corresponds to the billed amount (appropriation) Since the locker containing the finished product is opened in conjunction with the locker unlocking operation (1b), the client can take the finished product (collectively stored in a carrying bag so that it is easy to take it home). I can do it.

In addition, in the device of the present invention, the scheduled cleaning finish date is displayed to the requester at the time of request, and after a certain grace period from the scheduled finish date, the amount of luggage storage fee is appropriately set as in a normal paid locker. The cleaning fee is automatically added, the additional fee is presented at the time of collection, and the designated locker is unlocked only when an amount corresponding to the fee is paid. In addition, for the requested part that was not finished on the scheduled finish date, a receipt for the unfinished part shall be reissued by inputting the data input key (11), and only the fee for the finished part shall be paid and the finished part shall be collected.

FIG. 4 shows an apparatus in which a laundry storage box is provided separately from the locker, and all the requested items (the laundry) are stored rather than the laundry for each cleaning requester being stored in each locker. ) Can be stored in one box for more use. This device has a locker section (1) in which lockers each having an automatic lock mechanism are disposed, and a storage box for storing laundry. (15), and a control unit (2) for performing each control operation.

The locker section (1) is provided by appropriately combining a locker having an appropriate shape similarly to the device described above, and the door can be opened only when a lock release signal is received from the control section (2). It is. In addition, since the stored items in each locker are only finished goods, it is not necessary to distinguish between the laundry and the finished goods.

The control unit (2) starts operation by inserting and inserting a fixed fee (cash or prepaid card), a prepaid card having an ID function, a prepaid card and an ID card (member card) at the time of a cleaning request, and at the time of receiving a finished product. It is provided so that the operation starts when a receipt, a prepaid card having an ID function, or a prepaid card and an ID card are inserted. In addition, due to the cash input into the charge slot (14) and the card insertion slot (14) and the start of the operation accompanying the card insertion, a receipt with the information of the reception date and the request number (serial number) is output, and the requester Receipt receipt exit (6)
The receipt can be received from the customer, and the storage plastic bag is unlocked and the plastic bag can be taken out from the vinyl outlet (7). In this case, it is more effective to store or stick together the statement sheet describing the items to be confirmed and the items to be transmitted and the stub of the receipt.
