Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic lock device for a storage device, and more particularly to an electronic lock for locking an opening / closing part of a storage device such as a library, locker, desk, or storage.

In storage devices, in addition to mechanical locks traditionally used for safe storage of stored items, electronic lock devices that are electronically locked and unlocked are widely used (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, in general, the electronic lock alone is rarely used, and there is a mechanical lock for emergency use. This is due to the reliability of the electronic component. Here, as seen in the example of the cylinder lock, there are examples in which the mechanical lock can be unlocked with a simple tool even when the mechanism is complicated, and there are many security problems. For this reason, an electronic lock without a mechanical lock is desired.

Even if the operation becomes impossible and the unlocking becomes impossible, the dead bolt can be unlocked by manually operating the drive mechanism.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1

  FIG. 1 shows the internal configuration of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In this case, the electronic lock device is mounted so that it can be operated from the outside in the form of being housed in a case with a lid and protruding or embedded in the outer surface or inner surface of the opening / closing part of the storage device. The battery as the power source can be exchanged from the outside.

  However, in FIG. 1, for convenience of illustration, a case 100 with a lid is attached on the outer surface of the opening / closing part 200, and each element constituting the present invention is housed in the case 100.

  The case 100 is arranged so that the dead bolt 11 can be inserted into a hole provided in a main body of a storage device (not shown). The dead bolt 11 is attached so as to be movable in the linear direction while receiving the acting force in the backward direction (to the right in the figure) by the spring 12 so that the dead bolt 11 can be inserted and removed from the end of the case 100.

  The dead bolt 11 has a gear processed on the lower surface in the drawing, and a gear 31 is arranged opposite to the gear processed portion. The gear 31 is given a rotational force by an operation mechanism.

  The gear machining may be performed not on the outer peripheral surface of the dead bolt 11 as shown in the figure, but on the inner surface of the portion through which the dead bolt 11 is wound. With such a configuration, the thickness dimension of the case 100 increases, but the height dimension can be reduced. Since the case 100 also accommodates a battery (not shown) having a size larger than that of other elements, the entire size of the case 100 is reduced by punching the dead bolt 11 and machining the gear. And compact.

  The operation mechanism includes a gear 31, a reduction gear box 32, and a motor 33. The operation mechanism rotates when the motor 33 is energized by a drive circuit (not shown) to rotate the gear 31.

  The entire operation mechanism is integrally configured, and the reduction gear box 32 is held by a holding portion 34 provided in the case 100 and a security screw 35 screwed into a screw hole provided in the case 100. When the security screw 35 is removed, the gear 31 and the motor 33 are moved together with the reduction gear box 32.

  The security screw 35 is configured such that the installation position cannot be recognized from the outside so that only the person concerned can understand. The person concerned breaks a predetermined part of a lid (not shown) of the case 100 with a tool, removes the security screw 35, and moves the gear 31.

  The operating mechanism is moved when the electronic parts of the drive circuit (not shown) break down and the dead bolt 11 remains protruding, and the gear 20 is freed so that the dead bolt 11 contracts with the spring 12. This is to enable movement to the right in the figure.

  Thereby, the deadbolt 11 is accommodated in the case 100, and the opening / closing part 200 can be opened. The electronic lock device is replaced or repaired.

Embodiment 2

  FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the rotation shaft of the gear 21 is configured by the security screw 22, and the gear 21 can be removed by removing the security screw 22.

  Also in this case, the security screw 22 is provided at a position unknown to outsiders and known only to those concerned.

Embodiment 3

  FIG. 3 shows Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the dead bolt 11 is made free by shifting the position instead of removing the gear 21. In other words, the extensible spring 22 attached to the rotating shaft of the gear 21 always pushes the gear 21 up to the position where it engages with the dead bolt 11, and the parties concerned resist the extension force of the extensible spring 22 in an emergency. The dead bolt 11 is made free by depressing 21. As a result, it is possible to move the dead bolt 11 in the right direction in the drawing by applying the acting force in the backward direction to the dead bolt 11 by the contraction force of the spring 12.

Embodiment 4

  FIG. 4 shows Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the shaft hole is closed by covering the shaft hole of the gear 21, and the tip of the rotary shaft 24 is brought into contact with the closed lid 23.

  With this configuration, the gear 21 is lowered by its own weight, but can only be lowered to a position regulated by the lid 23 with respect to the rotation shaft 24 and is held near the upper end of the rotation shaft 24.

  In an emergency, when the gear 21 is pressed and the lid 23 is removed from the gear 21, the dead bolt 11 becomes free.

Embodiment 5

  FIG. 5 shows Embodiment 5 of the present invention. In the fifth embodiment, a step portion 25 is formed in which the central portion of at least one end face of the gear 21 is protruded in the axial direction, and a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted into a groove cut into the center of the step portion 25 so that the gear 21 is inserted. To turn the dead bolt 11 in and out.
