Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an article management apparatus suitable for automatically managing take-out and return of valuables such as keys and seals.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a general management apparatus of this type, an apparatus that automatically manages key take-out and return at a factory or the like is known. In this management system, a card in which identification information of each individual is normally recorded is used, and each key can be taken out by this card and a personal identification number for each individual. When the keys are returned, each key may be attached to a predetermined block and automatically locked. At this time, the card or password may or may not be used.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the conventional article management apparatus as described above, when registering identification information of each individual, it is recorded externally in a memory and mounted in the management apparatus, or for entering a number when taking out the article. It is suitable for key management of a relatively small number of people because it is recorded in the memory in the management device using the numeric keypad to be used, but it is necessary to register the name and affiliation name of each individual along with the ID code However, it is difficult to cope with a large number of registered people, and there is a problem that the apparatus is enlarged.
[0004]
The present invention has been made paying attention to the above problems, and can easily register an individual's name and the like together with an ID code, can cope with an increase in log data and the number of registered persons, and is small in size. It is an object of the present invention to provide an article management apparatus that can be realized with a low-cost configuration and has good operability.

[0009]
(4) The article according to any one of (1) to (3) above, further comprising a printer that prints out the identification information including a history and name of taking out and returning the article in each storage mechanism. Management device .
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration of an article management apparatus according to the present invention.
[0011]
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a control unit for controlling the entire system, which is composed of a CPU or the like and controls each unit described later connected by a system bus. 2 is a discriminating means for discriminating identification information of an input ID card, 3 is a numeric keypad input unit for inputting a personal identification number, 4 is a display unit using an LCD or the like, and 5 is a printout of desired information. It is a small printer that is capable of winding.
[0012]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6 denotes a registration means for registering identification information such as each person's name and affiliation name in a memory such as a RAM, 7 denotes a switch unit with a plurality of display lamps for taking out articles, and 8 denotes storage of different articles. A plurality of possible storage mechanisms are provided with the above-mentioned switches with indicator lamps corresponding to the respective storage mechanisms 8.
[0013]
In the above system, when the determination result by the input means for determining card information 2 is good, the display lamp corresponding to the storage mechanism 8 corresponding to the password entered from the numeric keypad input unit 3 is turned on to store the card information. Control is performed so that an article can be taken out from the mechanism 8. When the article is returned to the storage mechanism 8, the automatic lock function automatically brings out the prohibited state.
[0014]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of an operation panel of a key box configured as a key management device in the above system. Each storage mechanism 8 is provided with a pair of the above-mentioned push button type switch with indicator lamp 7a and key block 7b, and each switch 7a is used for inputting characters when registering the identification information described above. English letters (A to Z) are assigned.
[0015]
In addition, an operation guide is displayed on the display unit 4 of the display panel 11, and the storage mechanism 8 corresponding to the switch 7a when the switch 7a is pressed other than when the key is attached to or removed from the key block 7b. The status of taking out and returning keys is displayed.
[0016]
The above-mentioned ID card is inserted from the card slot 12 so that the recording paper of the printer 5 can be seen from the transparent window 13, and the printer 5 also prints the history of taking out and returning articles in each storage mechanism 8. It is output.
[0017]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation at the time of taking out in the present embodiment. When the ID card is inserted (step S1) and the identification number is verified and the password is verified (step S2), the storage mechanism 8 is unlocked and the lamp is turned on (step S3). The key can be taken out by pressing 7a. When the key is taken out (step S4), the lamp is turned off (step S5).
[0018]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation at the time of return. When it is confirmed that the key is inserted and returned (step S11), the key is automatically locked as described above (step S12), and the key cannot be taken out.
[0019]
The control processing shown in each of the flowcharts is executed by the CPU of the control unit 1 according to a program stored in a ROM (not shown).
[0020]
Here, in this embodiment, the push button type switch 7a of each storage mechanism 8 is used both for taking out the key and for registering the identification information. Can be easily registered in kanji or kana, and can be handled even when the log data and the number of registered people increase, making it suitable for a large number of users. In addition, the push button method is easy to operate, the management status and the history of taking out and returning can be easily known, and it is also possible to instantly know who belongs to whom the item is currently taking out.
[0021]
In the above embodiment, the case of the key management device is shown. However, the article to be managed may be a seal, various cards, or other important items. In this case, the storage mechanism 8 can be a box, a drawer, or other various shapes.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to cope with an increase in log data and the number of registered persons, and it can be realized with a small and inexpensive configuration, and has an effect that operability is good.
