The ten-key 9a as an input means having a numeral as a secret code is pressed when the electronic lock 9 is unlocked, and the pressed number is sent to the control board 9C. The ten-key 9a is also pressed when changing the unlocking number by combining with the start key 9d and the end key 9e. The change of the unlocking number will be described later. LED lamp 9
As b, one capable of lighting two colors of green and red is used. The piezoelectric buzzer 9c has a variable frequency,
In addition to the warning sound, a melody or the like can be emitted.

As shown in FIG. 5, a control board 9C composed of a well-known microcomputer has a ten-key panel 9A.
The operation of the solenoid 9D and the LED lamp 9b is controlled based on the input from the. A timer configured as a software is provided inside the control board 9C.
Electric power is supplied to C from a battery 9E provided inside the door 3. The solenoid 9D is attached to a support bracket 33 fixed inside the case 13, and when the electronic lock 9 is locked, the locking piece 9f is projected to engage with the tip of the plate member 30b, and when unlocked. The locking piece 9f is stored.

The control board 9C excites the solenoid 9D and operates the timer when the correct unlocking number is input by the ten-key 9a. As a result, the normally projecting plunger 9f is sucked, and the electronic lock 9 is unlocked. Then, when a predetermined time elapses after the unlocked state and the timer inside the control board 9C is up, the control board 9C cuts off energization to the solenoid 9D. As a result, the plunger 9f that has been sucked out projects, and the electronic lock 9 is locked.

With the above structure, when the door 3 closes the opening 2A in a state where the barbs 5, 6, and 7 occupy the unlocked positions, the other end 26b of the return plate 26 is pushed by the wall surface of the main body 2. , Each bar 5, 6, by the biasing force of the tension spring 25.
7 is moved to the locked position. After the locks 5, 6 and 7 occupy the locked position, the solenoid 9D is actuated and the plunger 9f is projected after a predetermined time has passed, whereby the movement of the second locking plate 30 is restricted. Further, when the cylinder lock 10 is locked, the locking piece 10a protrudes, whereby the movement of the connecting plate 16 integrated with the first locking plate 16A is restricted, and the safe 1 is completely locked.

Here, a method of unlocking the electronic lock 9 will be described. When the operator presses the start key 9d, the safe 1 enters the unlocking number acceptance state, which is a secret code. After that, when the operator presses the ten-key 9a and then the end key 9e, the control board 9C compares the input number with the registered unlocking number, and when both are in agreement, An operation command is sent to the solenoid 9D to attract the plunger 9f and turn on the LED lamp 9b in green. If they do not match, the control board 9
C lights the LED lamp 9b in red and operates the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to emit a warning sound. At this time, the operation command is not sent to the solenoid 9D. Further, when a predetermined time has elapsed after unlocking, the solenoid 9D is energized from the control board 9C and the plunger 9f is projected, but when the barbs 5, 6, 7 occupy unlocked positions at this time. The lower surface of the bent portion 24a and the upper end portion 26d of the bent portion 24a are brought into contact with each other to hold the barbs 5, 6 and 7 in the unlocked position
Since the plate member 30b is located to the right in FIG. 3, the tip of the plunger 9f is in a state in which its projection is blocked by the plate member 30b. After that, the door 3 is closed and the other end 26d comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the main body 2, and the return plate 26
Moves to the right and the contact state between the tip upper portion 26d and the lower surface of the bent portion 24a is released, so that each bar 5, 6,
7 occupies the locked position and the plate member 30b moves to the left to cause the plunger 9f to project, resulting in the state shown in FIG.

Next, a method of changing and registering the unlocking number of the electronic lock 9 in this embodiment will be described. The operator first unlocks the safe 1 according to the procedure described above. As a result, the safe 1 recognizes the operator as a person who is not an external person, and the safe 1 enters the unlocking number change registration preparation state. When the operator presses the start key 9d and the end key 9e at the same time after the safe 1 is in the change registration preparation state, the safe 1 is in the temporary registration (temporary setting) mode in which the new unlocking number is accepted. .
At this time, the control board 9C turns on the LED lamp 9b in green and actuates the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to emit a recognition sound different from the warning sound, and further cuts off energization to the solenoid 9D without waiting for the internal timer to rise. Plunger 9
Let f project. At this time, if the door 3 is closed, it will be in a locked state, and if the door 3 is open, it will be in the above-mentioned state where the protrusion of the plunger 9f is blocked by the plate member 30b.

Next, the operator inputs a new unlocking number. The operator presses the end key 9e after inputting the new unlocking number to be registered with the ten keys 9a. Here, the control board 9C checks whether the digit number of the inputted new unlocking number is the correct digit number, and if it is the correct digit number, the LED lamp is turned on in green and the piezoelectric buzzer 9
The c is operated to emit a recognition sound, the new unlocking number is temporarily registered (temporarily set), and the temporary registration mode is ended. When the digit number of the inputted new unlocking number is incorrect, the control board 9C turns on the LED lamp 9b in red and activates the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to emit a warning sound.
Terminate the temporary registration mode. This series of steps is shown in FIG. In addition, when the number of digits of the input new unlocking number is an incorrect number of digits, you may return to the process of inputting a new unlocking number again. Alternatively, the solenoid 9D may be de-energized when the end key 9e is pressed.

After the new unlocking number is provisionally registered, the new unlocking number is registered. When the start key 9d is pressed by the operator after the temporary registration mode ends, the safe 1 shifts to the registration mode in which the temporarily registered new unlocking number is registered as a new unlocking number, and the control board 9C displays the LED lamp. 9b is lit in green and the piezoelectric buzzer 9c is operated to emit a recognition sound. It should be noted that this registration mode is performed in the normal unlocking process.

Next, the operator inputs the unlocking number. The operator presses the end key 9e after inputting the same unlocking number as the temporarily registered new unlocking number using the ten-key 9a. Here, the control board 9C checks whether the number of digits of the input unlocking number is the correct number of digits, and if the number of digits of the input unlocking number is the wrong number of digits, the control board 9C Turns on the LED lamp 9b in red and activates the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to emit a warning sound to end the registration mode. When the number of digits is correct, it is determined whether or not the input data (new unlocking number) temporarily registered in the above-mentioned temporary registration mode exists.

When the temporarily registered input data does not exist, it is determined that the unlocking operation is normal, and the entered unlocking number is compared with the registered unlocking number (old unlocking number). Be seen. When the entered unlocking number matches the old unlocking number, the control board 9C turns on the LED lamp in green and activates the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to emit a recognition sound and energize the solenoid 9D. The plunger 9f is sucked to perform the unlocking operation, and the registration mode is ended.
When the input unlocking number and the old unlocking number do not match, the control board 9C turns on the LED lamp 9b in red and operates the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to sound a warning sound and end the registration mode. .

When it is determined that the temporarily registered input data exists, the temporarily registered new unlocking number is compared with the input unlocking number. When the new unlocking number matches the entered unlocking number, the control board 9C is L
The ED lamp is lit in green and the piezoelectric buzzer 9c is activated to emit a recognition sound, the solenoid 9D is energized to attract the plunger 9f to perform the unlocking operation, and the new unlocking number is officially registered. The old unlocking number used until then is discarded and the registration mode is ended. If the newly registered temporary unlock number and the entered unlock number do not match, the control board 9C turns on the LED lamp 9b in red and operates the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to sound an alarm. Exit the registration mode.

If the operator does not match the entered unlocking number with the new unlocking number no matter how many times the operator enters the unlocking operation, he or she inputs the old unlocking number as a predetermined secret code. It can be performed. When the old unlocking number and the entered unlocking number match, the control board 9C turns on the LED lamp in green and activates the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to emit a recognition sound and energize the solenoid 9D. The plunger 9f is sucked to perform the unlocking operation, the provisional registration of the new unlocking number is discarded, and the registration mode is ended. This series of steps is shown in FIG. In the above process, the transition of the unlocking number when the unlocking operation is performed by the new unlocking number after the registration of the new unlocking number is shown in FIG. FIG. 8B shows the changes in the unlocking numbers when the unlocking operation is performed by. Also, during the above process, if the number of digits of the entered unlocking number is incorrect, or if the entered unlocking number is different from the temporarily registered new unlocking number, waiting for input of the unlocking number again You may return to the state of.

With such a configuration, when the unlocking number is changed, the old unlocking number is used even if the user is locked by neglecting the confirmation operation after registering the new unlocking number or forgetting the new password. It is possible to unlock the device, and it is possible to prevent the problem that the safe cannot be opened because the unlocking number is unknown. Further, since the period in which the new personal identification number and the old personal identification number coexist is short (only once), it is possible to ensure security. Furthermore, since the unlocking number can be changed while the door is closed, a secret leakage prevention effect can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, after the temporary registration of the new personal identification number,
The configuration is such that the operator can unlock the new PIN or the old PIN which is the predetermined PIN, but after the temporary registration of the new PIN, the operator can enter the new PIN or the old PIN. A configuration may be adopted in which unlocking is possible when a specific personal identification number as a predetermined personal identification code, which is different from the number, is input, and unlocking is not possible with the old personal identification number. The specific personal identification number used at this time is different from the master number normally possessed by the safe, and is a number used only in the registration mode after the temporary registration. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to obtain the same effects as the above.

Further, after provisionally registering the new personal identification code, the operator can unlock the new personal identification code, the old personal identification code, or a specific personal identification number different from the old personal identification number. Good. In this case, since there are three unlocking numbers, it is possible to select either the old personal identification number or a specific personal identification number different from this from the viewpoint of security, and for example, as a selection means provided on the back side of the door or the like. It is desirable to have a configuration in which either one is selected by a changeover switch.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment and each modified example, after temporary registration of the new personal identification number, for example, when it is desired to change the temporarily registered new personal identification number, the old personal identification number is suddenly set in the registration mode immediately after the temporary registration. Alternatively, you can cancel the temporary registration of the new security code by entering the specific security code, but in the registration mode immediately after the temporary registration, the old security code or the specific security code is not unlocked and the lock is not released. A configuration may be adopted in which unlocking is possible when the old personal identification number or a specific personal identification number is input to. Even in this case, when the new personal identification number is input immediately after the temporary registration, the unlocking is performed and the registration of the unlocking number is changed.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment and each modified example, after the new personal identification number is temporarily registered, the new personal identification number is 1 in the registration mode.
Although the unlocking operation is performed when the number of times of input is input and the personal identification number is changed, for example, unlocking and changing of the number are not performed by inputting only once, and unlocking and changing the number by inputting twice or more. May be performed. In this case, at the time of the first input, it is desirable to add a configuration for making the operator recognize that the correct number has been input, such as turning on the LED lamp 9b in green and operating the piezoelectric buzzer 9c to emit a recognition sound. .

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment and each modification, the unlocking operation is performed by the new personal identification number, and the old personal identification number is immediately deleted when the old personal identification number is changed to the new personal identification number. However, within the predetermined period, the unlocking operation will be performed regardless of whether the old PIN or the new PIN is entered.
The old personal identification number may be deleted after a predetermined period. For this predetermined period, the time after changing the number may be measured, for example, using a timer, or the number of times unlocked by the new personal identification number may be stored, and it is determined that the operator has completely stored the new personal identification number. When the password is given, the old password will be deleted.

In the above-mentioned embodiment and each modification, an example in which a numeral which is a character is used as a personal identification code is shown, but the character is not limited to a numeral, and kana, kanji, alphabets, symbols, pictures, colors, etc. Any type may be used as long as it can be visually recognized. Although an example in which a ten-key pad is used as the input means has been shown, the input means may be a key having a smaller number than the ten-key pad such as the 2 or 5 key, a key having a larger number than the ten-key pad, a liquid crystal touch panel, or the like. Any material may be used as long as it is possible. Further, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, fingerprints, voiceprints, pupils, punch cards, magnetic cards, and the like may be used as the personal identification code, and an identification means that can be collated and discriminated instead of the input means may be used. .

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment and each modified example, by unlocking the safe, the safe recognizes that the operator is not the outside person but the safe, and the safe enters the unlocking number change registration preparation state. Although the configuration is adopted, in order to bring the safe into the unlocking number change registration preparation state, some specific operation may be performed without being limited to unlocking. As the specific operation, for example, an operator inserts a specific key, presses a specific switch, changes the state of the safe by remote operation, or uses other personal authentication means (fingerprint, voiceprint, iris, etc.). Various methods can be applied as long as the method specifies

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment and each modified example, after the new personal identification number is registered, the number different from the new personal identification number may be inputted any number of times. Alternatively, the switch may be configured to reset a repeated error and input the number after provisional registration from the beginning.

In the above embodiment, the electronic lock 9 has the solenoid 9D, but the electronic lock may use another actuator. Examples of other actuators include motors and cylinders. Further, when a solenoid is used as the electronic lock, as shown in FIG. 9, a pin 34b is integrally fixed to the plunger 34a of the solenoid 34, and as a subsidy device having a retractable plunger 35a near the solenoid 34. Alternatively, the cylinder 35 may be provided. With such a configuration, the electronic lock is locked and the plunger 35a is extended after the plunger 34a is fitted into the notch 36a formed in the running plate 36, whereby the upward movement of the plunger 34b is restricted. Even if the safe is turned upside down, the fitting state of the plunger 34a and the notch 36a is not released, and the anti-theft property can be improved. In addition, due to the power consumption of the solenoid 34, the solenoid 34 is de-energized and the plunger 34a is projected after a predetermined time. However, it is troublesome to unlock the door when the door is frequently opened in the daytime. Therefore, by locking the plunger 35a of the cylinder 35 in the state shown in FIG. 9, the locking operation can be restricted. As a method of restricting this locking, besides using the cylinder 35, a method of adjusting the energization time of the solenoid 34 with a microcomputer, a logic circuit, a sequencer, etc., or a sensor for detecting the brightness is provided to lock it. Etc., various methods can be adopted. The cylinder 35 may be operated by any method such as manual operation, switch operation, and microcomputer control. Although the plunger 34a is configured to project downward from above in the figure, the projecting direction of the plunger 34a may be any direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a moving piece 37 that contacts the lower part of the pin 34b is provided, the moving piece 37 is fixed to a support shaft 38, and the support shaft 38 is rotated by a key or the like to move the moving piece. A configuration in which 37 can be moved to the position indicated by the chain double-dashed line may be adopted. With such a configuration, even when the solenoid 34 fails and the plunger 34a cannot be sucked, the unlocking can be manually performed.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the manual moving means is shown, but other moving means may be used which is moved by an actuator such as a motor, a cylinder or a solenoid. In the above-described embodiment, the door that is the opening / closing body has the lock member, and the lock member is engaged with the main body on the side opposite to the side where the door is supported by the hinge on the main body. Is not limited to
You may employ | adopt the structure which has a lock member in a main body side, the structure which has a lock member in each of a door side and a main body side, the structure which also has a lock member in the side supported by the hinge, the structure which combined these, etc. Further, in the above embodiment, a single-door right-open safe is shown as the storage, but in addition to this, a single-door left-open safe, safe with child doors, double-door safe, multiple doors vertically or horizontally. Safes with sliding doors, sliding doors and sliding door safes, storages with retractable lids, wall storages, lockers, cabinets, secondary storages that store other safes inside the safes, archives for storage, safes The present invention can be applied to a storage body buried in a wall surface such as a room or a library room, an assembling safe, an assembling safe, and the like. In the above embodiment, as the storage, the one having the smoke bending portion which is the fire resistant structure in the fitting portion between the main body and the door is exemplified, but the storage to which the present invention is applicable does not necessarily have the fire resistant structure. Absent.

Further, the applicant of the present invention is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-8177.
In Japanese Patent No. 3 gazette, in order to improve the anti-theft performance of the storage, a storage provided with a second lock member that locks the lock member (bar) is proposed, but a storage having such a second lock member.
