Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 In order to make it possible to change the cloak service in a controlled facility or area such as a hotel to a self-service, the present invention provides temporary storage in each of the storage lockers grouped into the movable device body. The present invention relates to a mobile simple cloak device with an automatic intermediary function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a large number of devices typified by coin lockers have been devised for temporary storage of portable items. Although these devices are functionally similar to having a key on the door and being a closed locker, they have a commonality in that they are fixed installation type. Therefore, it is also used as a substitute for cloakrooms in hotels.

Further, since iron material is generally used as the material forming the locker, it is heavy and difficult to move easily. In other words, there is a commonality in that it is a locker for fixed installation and has no purpose of moving it for use.

However, in the case of permanent use, effective use of the installation site is impossible, and there is a problem when it is desired to utilize the permanent place for multiple purposes. Therefore, most of the burden is on the user due to the pay system.

Furthermore, although a large number of users are flooded at an event such as a hotel, the number of locker users is limited due to the installation type, and the number of locker users is limited, which causes problems in comfort and convenience.

In addition, installing an existing coin locker (fixed type) in an event venue such as a hotel is rejected due to aesthetic requirements, and it is not possible to divert a known fixed type locker. .

This is because the known stationary locker represented by a coin locker is required to have a locking function with the first requirement of theft, and is focused on robustness and safety. This is because the purpose and effect are different in that the mobility and aesthetic requirements including aesthetics are not regarded as technical solution tasks.

[0008]

[Issues to be solved by the device]

 Under such circumstances, users of cloak service are expected to eliminate waiting time due to congestion, freely take in / out mobile items, and secure storage. On the other hand, equipment providers (participants) are light and freely moveable, and expect aesthetically-needed economics with no visible keys. Therefore, the present invention aims to improve comfort and convenience on the part of the user, and at the same time, to solve economic improvement including cost reduction on the part of the equipment provider.

That is, the weight reduction and mobility of the device are most affected by the selection of the material forming the device, and cannot be solved by the conventional iron material. In other words, aluminum and resin panels are suitable.

Further, a method of using a commercial power source as a mobility element is not suitable. In other words, a battery system that replaces the commercial power source is appropriate in order to be able to move freely and use it immediately. As will be described later, it is usually composed of two systems including a commercial power source.

Further, in order to solve the aesthetic sense, there is a problem that the key is invisible in appearance. Since the conventional mechanical lock mechanism cannot solve this problem, the electric lock mechanism is suitable. In other words, due to the sophistication of keys, a mechanism that is difficult to be tampered with (including lost and stolen) is required. It is necessary to devise a key that can be easily duplicated even if it is lost.

In addition, it is desired to economically realize the electric locking mechanism, the locker, etc. (reduce the device cost).

In addition, since the users of the present invention most often use a plurality of devices at the same place, an additional technology of a device identification function corresponding to a key is also essential.

[0014]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of lightness, mobility, aesthetic sense, economy, etc., the present invention is a mobile type in which each storage locker group divided into movable device bodies is provided with an automatic intermediary function for temporary storage. A simple cloak device, in which each storage locker used is fixed with a simple electric lock, and a portable card medium is stored in the storage unit, and each storage locker is stored in one section of the device body. A locker with a door control unit was installed to centrally manage the opening and closing (locking / unlocking) of the doors. For each storage locker, automatic locking based on the absence of a card medium and recognition of the closed state, and a card medium The feature is that the automatic unlocking function based on the reading and collection of the is configured.

[0015]

The method of using the device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The operation of this apparatus is used in three types of modes as shown in FIG. That is, the acceptance mode, the return mode, and the test mode. However, multiple modes cannot be specified at the same time.

The acceptance mode is a normal operation mode, and a switch is arranged below the card reader component. (Omitted in the above figure.) The operation mode is set by turning on this switch before starting operation. The user visually selects an empty rocker with the green lamp lit and presses the rocker button. The empty locker will be unlocked immediately, so open the locker handle manually. After storing portable items in the locker, removing the card medium from the card holder on the side of the locker, storing portable items in the locker and manually closing the door again, the simple electric lock is automatically locked. The green lamp switches to the red lamp. This state is in use (storage). Users will be able to use the lamps one after another by looking at the indications on the lamps, and no explanation to the users will be necessary.

In the reception mode, when opening and taking out a stored portable article (closed once), the card is inserted into the card insertion slot. The insertion slot usually uses a card stopper (for its card shutter function) to prevent foreign objects from being inserted. When a normal card is inserted in the direction of the arrow, the card stopper operates and its shutter function is automatically opened to allow insertion. The card is pulled in by the card drive motor during insertion, goes straight, and stops at the specified position. At the same time, the card information (punching record) is read, the red lamp of the corresponding locker blinks, and the simple electric lock is unlocked. At this time, the locker display lamp blinks so that the user can easily identify the locker.

When the card is correctly recognized, the card driving motor rotates in the reverse direction and is automatically returned to the insertion slot, so that the user can carry the card as it is. If the card cannot be recognized correctly, the card difference indicator lamp on the front of the operation panel lights up. In this case, the device numbers are different (the devices used do not match), so the user must check the device number written on the card and try again.

The return mode is a mode in which the card is automatically returned after the locker is used. To switch to the return mode, turn on the independent switch provided under the card reader component. The device of the present invention is provided with an automatic switch using a manual switch and a timer using this independent switch, and can be used properly according to the usage pattern. The purpose of this mode is to prevent the loss of the card. In other words, after the use of the locker is completed, the purpose will be achieved if the card is returned to the designated card holder, but if it is forgotten, the locker cannot be used and operational damage will occur. Therefore, by automatically setting this mode with a timer immediately before the end of the event etc., the card collection will be automatic and the loss due to take-out etc. will be minimized.

In the return mode, when the card medium is correctly recognized, it is automatically stored in the card storage box, the corresponding locker is automatically unlocked, the locker indicator lamp blinks, and the stored items (user's portable items Etc.). When you close the door after taking it back, the red lamp goes out and the end of the locker is displayed.

The test mode is a function for performing a device inspection. The main purpose is to check the operation of the lamps and simple electric lock from time to time and to check the operation when there is a failure. A test switch is provided under each card reader unit. With this switch, simultaneous unlocking, locking and lighting of all lamps are possible.

In the device of the present invention, an optical identification method based on the presence / absence of a through-hole (perforation recording) of a card is adopted for the information recognition in the card reader constituting section. This information recognition means may be a known technology such as a magnetic card method or a bar code method, but the means of the present invention is appropriate when the reduction of the device cost is emphasized.
