物品保管庫1は鋼板製の筐体10を備える。筐体10は正面側から背面側に向かって細長く延び、正面側には物品授受口11が設けられている。物品授受口11より手前側はカウンター部12となっていて、そこには指紋や静脈パターンなどのバイオメトリクスにより使用者の本人確認を行う生体認証部13と、CRTなどの表示画面にタッチパネルを組み合わせた表示/操作部14が設けられている。筐体10の背面側は全面的に開口し、その開口部がサービスハッチ15となっている。サービスハッチ15は扉16によって閉ざされる。   The article storage 1 includes a casing 10 made of steel plate. The casing 10 is elongated from the front side toward the back side, and an article transfer port 11 is provided on the front side. A counter unit 12 is located on the front side of the article transfer port 11, and a biometric authentication unit 13 for confirming the identity of the user by biometrics such as a fingerprint or a vein pattern, and a touch screen combined with a display screen such as a CRT. A display / operation unit 14 is provided. The back side of the housing 10 is fully open, and the opening is a service hatch 15. The service hatch 15 is closed by a door 16.

筐体10の内部には、まず底部に基台20が設置される。基台20の上には正面から見て左右方向に並ぶ形で3個の枠が設置されている。3個の枠はいずれも正面幅に比べ高さと奥行きが長く、筐体10の長手方向に自身の長手方向を一致させる形で互いに平行に配置される。左右両端の枠は物品収納枠21L、21Rであり、それぞれ上下方向と奥行き方向にマトリックスをなす複数の物品収納部22(図2、3参照)を備えている。物品収納枠21L、21Rに左右から挟まれる中央の枠は物品移載枠23で、その中には上下方向と前後方向(奥行き方向)の二次元移動を行うと共に各位置において旋回も可能な物品ピックアップ装置24が配置されている。物品ピックアップ装置24は物品授受口11で物品30を受け取ってそれを物品収納枠21L、21Rの物品収納部22に収納し、逆に物品収納部22から物品30を取り出してそれを物品授受口11に戻す動作を行う。   Inside the housing 10, a base 20 is first installed at the bottom. Three frames are arranged on the base 20 so as to be arranged in the left-right direction when viewed from the front. All of the three frames are longer in height and depth than the front width, and are arranged in parallel to each other so that the longitudinal direction of the housing 10 coincides with the longitudinal direction thereof. The left and right frames are article storage frames 21L and 21R, each having a plurality of article storage portions 22 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) forming a matrix in the vertical direction and the depth direction. A central frame sandwiched between the left and right of the article storage frames 21L and 21R is an article transfer frame 23, in which two-dimensional movement in the vertical direction and the front-rear direction (depth direction) is possible and the article can also be turned at each position A pickup device 24 is arranged. The article pickup device 24 receives the article 30 at the article delivery port 11 and stores it in the article storage unit 22 of the article storage frames 21L and 21R, and conversely takes out the article 30 from the article storage unit 22 and transfers it to the article transfer port 11. Perform the operation to return to.

上記動作を行うために物品ピックアップ装置24は、自動倉庫などで周知の二次元移動装置により上下方向と前後方向の動きを与えられる移動ベース25と、移動ベース25の上に設置された物品受入部26を備える。物品受入部26は物品授受口11より挿入された物品30を引き込み、それを物品収納枠21Lの物品収納部22又は物品収納枠21Rの物品収納部22に挿入する働きをするものであり、物品授受口11の方向を向く正面向きの角度と、物品収納枠21Lの方を向く左向きの角度と、物品収納枠21Rの方をむく右向きの角度の3通りに、図示しないモータによって角度を切り替えられる。物品30の引き込みと吐き出しは同じく図示しない別のモータを動力源として行う。   In order to perform the above operation, the article pick-up device 24 includes a moving base 25 that is moved in the vertical direction and the front-rear direction by a well-known two-dimensional moving device in an automatic warehouse or the like, and an article receiving unit installed on the moving base 25. 26. The article receiving section 26 serves to pull in the article 30 inserted from the article receiving port 11 and insert it into the article storage section 22 of the article storage frame 21L or the article storage section 22 of the article storage frame 21R. The angle can be switched by a motor (not shown) in three ways: a front-facing angle facing the transfer port 11, a left-facing angle facing the article storage frame 21L, and a right-facing angle facing the article storage frame 21R. . The pulling-in and discharging of the article 30 is performed using another motor (not shown) as a power source.

物品収納部22は、物品30を収納可能とする棚状の枠体構造のみを有し、物品受入部26の駆動により物品30の出し入れが行われる。   The article storage unit 22 has only a shelf-like frame structure that can store the articles 30, and the articles 30 are taken in and out by driving the article receiving unit 26.

物品30は現金、通帳、クレジットカード、有価証券、パスポート、実印、銀行印などといった貴重品を保管する貴重品カセットであり、図4、5に示すような形状と構造を有する。すなわち本体32と蓋33をヒンジ結合したアタッシェケース様の筐体31を有し、蓋33の片隅には4桁の数字ダイヤルからなるダイヤルロック34が顔を覗かせている。本体32の側面には物品受入部26が出し入れ動作を行う際に用いられるチャッキング部35が形成されている。   The article 30 is a valuables cassette for storing valuables such as cash, bankbook, credit card, securities, passport, real seal, bank seal, etc., and has a shape and structure as shown in FIGS. That is, it has an attache case-like casing 31 in which the main body 32 and the lid 33 are hinge-coupled, and a dial lock 34 made of a 4-digit number dial looks into the face at one corner of the lid 33. A chucking portion 35 is formed on the side surface of the main body 32. The chucking portion 35 is used when the article receiving portion 26 performs a loading / unloading operation.

上記構成を備えた物品保管庫1は、図2に見られるように、使用者が出入りする部屋R1に正面側の一部を突出させる形で部屋R1、R2の2室にまたがるように設置される。使用者は部屋R1でカウンター部12の前に立ち、生体認証部13で本人確認を済ませた後、表示/操作部14で物品預け入れ又は物品払い出しの操作を行う。   As shown in FIG. 2, the article storage 1 having the above-described configuration is installed so as to straddle the two rooms R1 and R2 in such a manner that a part of the front side protrudes into the room R1 where the user enters and exits. The The user stands in front of the counter unit 12 in the room R1, completes identity verification with the biometric authentication unit 13, and then performs an operation of depositing or dispensing the item with the display / operation unit 14.

物品預け入れの操作を行うと、物品ピックアップ装置24が物品授受口11に接近し、物品受入部26を物品授受口11に整列させる。これを受けて、常時は物品授受口11を閉ざしている図示しないシャッタが開く。使用者が物品30を所定の向きで物品授受口11に挿入すると、待機していた物品受入部26がその物品30を取り込む。それから物品ピックアップ装置24は、後述する制御部の指令に従い、所定の物品収納部22へと向かう。目的の物品収納部22に並ぶ位置に到着後、物品受入部26はその物品収納部22の方に向きを変え、物品30を押し出し、物品収納部22内に押し込み収納すると共に、物品30のチャッキング部35とのチャッキングを外して元の位置まで復帰する。これで物品預け入れが完了する。   When the article depositing operation is performed, the article pickup device 24 approaches the article receiving / receiving port 11 and aligns the article receiving unit 26 with the article receiving / receiving port 11. In response to this, a shutter (not shown) that normally closes the article transfer opening 11 is opened. When the user inserts the article 30 into the article delivery port 11 in a predetermined direction, the article receiving unit 26 that has been waiting takes in the article 30. Then, the article pickup device 24 moves to a predetermined article storage unit 22 in accordance with a command from a control unit described later. After arriving at a position aligned with the target article storage unit 22, the article receiving unit 26 changes the direction toward the article storage unit 22, pushes out the article 30, pushes it into the article storage unit 22, and stores the article 30. The chucking with the king part 35 is removed and the original position is restored. This completes the article deposit.

物品払い出しの操作を行うと、指定された物品30が収納されている物品収納部22のところまで物品ピックアップ装置24が移動し、その物品収納部22の方へ物品受入部26を向ける。物品受入部26が物品30のチャッキング部35と係合して物品30を引き出し、物品授受口11の方に向きを変える。物品ピックアップ装置24が移動し、物品受入部26が物品授受口11に整列すると、前記図示しないシャッタが開く。それから物品受入部26は物品授受口11より物品30を突き出す。使用者がそれを抜き取ることにより物品払い出しが完了する。   When the article payout operation is performed, the article pickup device 24 moves to the article storage section 22 in which the designated article 30 is stored, and the article receiving section 26 is directed toward the article storage section 22. The article receiving unit 26 engages with the chucking unit 35 of the article 30 to pull out the article 30 and changes the direction toward the article transfer port 11. When the article pickup device 24 moves and the article receiving portion 26 is aligned with the article receiving / receiving port 11, the shutter (not shown) is opened. Then, the article receiving unit 26 projects the article 30 from the article transfer port 11. The user pays out the article by extracting it.

このように物品保管庫1は自動倉庫と同様のかなり複雑な機構を内蔵しており、故障を絶無にはできない。また物品受入部26と物品収納部22の間で物品30の受け渡しを行っている最中に停電でも発生した場合には、機構にも物品30にもダメージが加わらないようにしつつ復旧しなければならない。そこで、サービスとメンテナンスの容易化を図るため、次のように構成する。   As described above, the article storage 1 incorporates a fairly complicated mechanism similar to that of an automatic warehouse, and cannot fail completely. Also, if a power failure occurs during the delivery of the article 30 between the article receiving unit 26 and the article storage unit 22, the mechanism and the article 30 must be restored without causing damage. Don't be. Therefore, in order to facilitate service and maintenance, the configuration is as follows.

まず物品収納枠21L、21R、及び物品移載枠23を基台20にスライド可能に載置する。スライド方向はそれぞれの枠の長手方向である。扉16を開いておいて物品収納枠21L、21R、及び物品移載枠23をスライドさせれば、これらの枠をサービスハッチ15から引き出すことができる。これにより、サービスやメンテナンスがやり易くなる。サービスやメンテナンスの作業を終了した後、枠を再び筐体10に押し込み、扉16を閉ざす。   First, the article storage frames 21L and 21R and the article transfer frame 23 are slidably placed on the base 20. The sliding direction is the longitudinal direction of each frame. If the article storage frames 21L and 21R and the article transfer frame 23 are slid while the door 16 is opened, these frames can be pulled out from the service hatch 15. This facilitates service and maintenance. After completing the service and maintenance work, the frame is pushed into the housing 10 again, and the door 16 is closed.

ところで、物品収納枠21L、21Rと物品移載枠23との間で物品30の受け渡しが行われている最中に停電その他のトラブルが生じ、物品30が物品収納部22と物品受入部26の間で立ち往生してしまった場合など、物品収納枠21Lあるいは21Rと物品移載枠23を一緒に引き出してくることにしないと、物品収納部22、物品受入部26、物品30のいずれかが破損してしまうことになりかねない。そこで、このような場合に物品収納枠21Lあるいは21Rと物品移載枠23が単独で引き出されることのないよう、次の構造を設ける。   By the way, a power failure or other trouble occurs during the delivery of the article 30 between the article storage frames 21L and 21R and the article transfer frame 23, and the article 30 is connected to the article storage unit 22 and the article reception unit 26. If the article storage frame 21L or 21R and the article transfer frame 23 are not pulled out together, for example, when the article storage frame 21 is stuck, any of the article storage section 22, the article receiving section 26, and the article 30 is damaged. Could end up. Therefore, in such a case, the following structure is provided so that the article storage frame 21L or 21R and the article transfer frame 23 are not pulled out independently.

すなわち物品収納枠21Lと物品移載枠23の間に、両枠の間で物品30の受け渡しが行われるべき期間中、両枠を連結状態に置く連結装置を設ける。物品収納枠21Rと物品移載枠23の間にも、両枠の間で物品30の受け渡しが行われるべき期間中、両枠を連結状態に置く連結装置を設ける。実施形態では、物品収納枠21Lと物品移載枠23を連結する連結装置と、物品収納枠21Rと物品移載枠23を連結する連結装置とを、単一の連結装置40(図6−8参照)に兼用させる構成としている。   That is, a connecting device is provided between the article storage frame 21L and the article transfer frame 23 to place both frames in a connected state during the period in which the article 30 should be delivered between the frames. A connecting device is also provided between the article storage frame 21R and the article transfer frame 23 to place both frames in a connected state during the period in which the article 30 should be delivered between the frames. In the embodiment, a connecting device that connects the article storage frame 21L and the article transfer frame 23 and a connecting device that connects the article storage frame 21R and the article transfer frame 23 are combined into a single connecting device 40 (FIGS. 6-8). For reference).

連結装置40は次の構成要素からなる。まず物品移載枠23の後端(サービスハッチ15に近い方の側)に、左右1対のロッド保持部41を設け、これに連結ロッド42を、物品移載枠23がサービスハッチ15から出入りする方向と直交する方向に、すなわち左右方向にスライドできるように保持する。連結ロッド42の中央にはクランク受け板43が固定されており、クランク受け板43の中央には前後方向に延びる長穴44が形成されている。モータ、減速機付モータ、ロータリーソレノイドなどにより構成されるアクチュエータ45の出力軸46に固定されたクランク47のクランクピン48が長穴44に係合する。アクチュエータ45はクランク47を図6の角度又は図7の角度に変位させるものであり、それに従って連結ロッド42は物品移載枠23の左側又は右側に突出する。   The coupling device 40 includes the following components. First, a pair of left and right rod holders 41 are provided at the rear end (the side closer to the service hatch 15) of the article transfer frame 23, and a connecting rod 42 is connected to the rod holder 41, and the article transfer frame 23 enters and leaves the service hatch 15. It is held so as to be slidable in a direction orthogonal to the direction of movement, that is, in the left-right direction. A crank receiving plate 43 is fixed at the center of the connecting rod 42, and a long hole 44 extending in the front-rear direction is formed at the center of the crank receiving plate 43. A crank pin 48 of a crank 47 fixed to an output shaft 46 of an actuator 45 constituted by a motor, a motor with a reduction gear, a rotary solenoid, etc. engages with the elongated hole 44. The actuator 45 displaces the crank 47 to the angle shown in FIG. 6 or the angle shown in FIG. 7, and the connecting rod 42 projects to the left or right side of the article transfer frame 23 accordingly.

物品移載枠23の左側に突出した連結ロッド42は物品収納枠21Lに設けた係合部49Lに係合する。これにより物品移載枠23と物品収納枠21Lは連結状態に置かれたことになる。ちなみに、この連結状態は停電時にも、すなわちアクチュエータ45に電力が供給されなくなっても維持される。同様に、物品移載枠23の右側に突出した連結ロッド42は物品収納枠21Rに設けた係合部49Rに係合し、これをもって物品移載枠23と物品収納枠21Rは連結状態に置かれる。この連結状態はアクチュエータ45に電力が供給されなくなっても維持される。なお係合部49L、49Rは連結ロッド42の先端を受け入れる透孔を設けた板金部品により構成されるものであり、連結ロッド42の先端は透孔に突き刺さりやすいようテーパ状に仕上げられている。   The connecting rod 42 protruding to the left side of the article transfer frame 23 engages with an engaging portion 49L provided on the article storage frame 21L. As a result, the article transfer frame 23 and the article storage frame 21L are placed in a connected state. Incidentally, this connected state is maintained even when a power failure occurs, that is, even when power is not supplied to the actuator 45. Similarly, the connecting rod 42 protruding to the right side of the article transfer frame 23 is engaged with an engaging portion 49R provided on the article storage frame 21R, and the article transfer frame 23 and the article storage frame 21R are placed in a connected state. It is burned. This connected state is maintained even when power is not supplied to the actuator 45. The engaging portions 49L and 49R are constituted by a sheet metal part provided with a through hole for receiving the tip of the connecting rod 42, and the tip of the connecting rod 42 is finished in a taper shape so as to be easily stuck into the through hole.

図9に示す制御部50が物品保管庫1の制御全般を司る。制御部50は、物品ピックアップ装置24に対し物品収納枠21L、21Rのいずれに物品30を収納するか、あるいは物品収納枠21L、21Rのいずれから物品30を取り出すかの指令を与える。同時に連結装置40のアクチュエータ45にも指令を与え、物品30の受け渡しが行われる側の物品収納枠に向かって連結ロッド42を突出させる。これにより、万一物品30の受け渡しが行われている最中に停電その他のトラブルが発生したとしても、物品受け渡し中の物品収納枠21L又は21Rと物品移載枠23とは連結状態にあり、しかもこの連結状態は電力供給なしで維持されているから、サービス担当者が扉16を開けてサービスハッチ15から物品収納枠21L又は21Rと物品移載枠23を引き出す際、物品30を介してつながっているもの同士が一緒に引き出されることになる。そのため物品収納部22、物品受入部26、物品30のいずれにも破損などの問題は生じない。   A control unit 50 shown in FIG. 9 governs overall control of the article storage 1. The control unit 50 instructs the article pickup device 24 to store the article 30 in either the article storage frame 21L or 21R or to take out the article 30 from either of the article storage frames 21L or 21R. At the same time, a command is also given to the actuator 45 of the coupling device 40, and the coupling rod 42 is projected toward the article storage frame on the side where the article 30 is delivered. Thereby, even if a power failure or other trouble occurs during the delivery of the article 30, the article storage frame 21 </ b> L or 21 </ b> R and the article transfer frame 23 are in a connected state, In addition, since this connected state is maintained without power supply, when the service person opens the door 16 and pulls out the article storage frame 21L or 21R and the article transfer frame 23 from the service hatch 15, they are connected via the article 30. What is being pulled will be pulled out together. Therefore, no problem such as breakage occurs in any of the article storage unit 22, the article receiving unit 26, and the article 30.

物品収納枠21L、21Rは、サービスやメンテナンスの必要がある場合を除き、筐体10の内部に留まっているのが望ましい。そこで筐体10と物品収納枠21L、21Rとの間には、物品収納枠21L、21Rが無闇に引き出されないようにするためのロック装置60L、60Rが設けられている。ロック装置60L、60Rは、筐体10の側に取り付けられた部材と、物品収納枠21L、21Rの側に取り付けられた部材とにより構成される。   The article storage frames 21L and 21R preferably remain inside the housing 10 except when service or maintenance is required. Therefore, between the housing 10 and the article storage frames 21L and 21R, lock devices 60L and 60R are provided to prevent the article storage frames 21L and 21R from being pulled out without any darkness. The locking devices 60L and 60R are configured by members attached to the housing 10 side and members attached to the article storage frames 21L and 21R side.

筐体10の側に取り付けられた部材とは、筐体10の内側壁から突出するブラケット61L、61Rに支持された係合軸62L、62Rである。物品収納枠21L、21Rの側に取り付けられた部材とは、物品収納枠21L、21Rから立ち上がる垂直軸63L、63Rに、水平面内で回動可能に支持されたフックレバー64L、64Rである。フックレバー64L、64Rは、物品授受口11に近い方の端に、係合軸62L、62Rに係合するフック65L、65Rを有する。フックレバー64Lはばね66Lにより上から見て時計回りの方向に付勢され、ストッパピン67Lに当たる位置で止まる。フックレバー64Rはばね66Rにより上から見て時計回りと反対の方向に付勢され、ストッパピン67Rに当たる位置で止まる。なおフックレバー64L、64Rを付勢するばね66L、66Rとして、実施形態では圧縮コイルばねを用いたが、引張コイルばねやねじりばねなど、他の種類のばねを用いることとしてもよい。   The members attached to the housing 10 side are the engagement shafts 62L and 62R supported by the brackets 61L and 61R protruding from the inner wall of the housing 10. The members attached to the side of the article storage frames 21L and 21R are hook levers 64L and 64R supported by the vertical shafts 63L and 63R rising from the article storage frames 21L and 21R so as to be rotatable in a horizontal plane. The hook levers 64L and 64R have hooks 65L and 65R that engage with the engagement shafts 62L and 62R at the ends closer to the article transfer opening 11, respectively. The hook lever 64L is urged in the clockwise direction as viewed from above by the spring 66L, and stops at a position where it comes into contact with the stopper pin 67L. The hook lever 64R is urged in a direction opposite to the clockwise direction when viewed from above by the spring 66R, and stops at a position where it hits the stopper pin 67R. As the springs 66L and 66R for urging the hook levers 64L and 64R, compression coil springs are used in the embodiment, but other types of springs such as tension coil springs and torsion springs may be used.

ロック装置60L、60Rは自身の属する物品収納枠21L、21Rが筐体10から出ないようにロックする。ここで「ロック」とは「移動阻止」という意味である。   The locking devices 60L and 60R lock the article storage frames 21L and 21R to which the locking devices 60L and 60R belong so as not to come out of the housing 10. Here, “lock” means “movement blocking”.

ロックを解除するのは連結ロッド42である。すなわち連結ロッド42が左側に突出し、係合部49Lに係合すると同時に、連結ロッド42の先端がフックレバー64Lの端を押し、ばね66Lによる付勢力に抗しフックレバー64Lを反時計回りに回転させて、係合軸62Lとフック65Lとが物品収納枠21Lのスライド方向に干渉しないようにする。また連結ロッド42が右側に突出し、係合部49Rに係合すると同時に、連結ロッド42の先端がフックレバー64Rの端を押し、ばね66Rによる付勢力に抗しフックレバー64Lを時計回りに回転させて、係合軸62Rとフック65Rとが物品収納枠21Rのスライド方向において干渉しないようにする。これにより物品移載枠23は、物品収納枠21L、21Rの一方に対する連結とロック解除を一挙動で行い、その物品収納枠を伴ってスライドすることが可能になる。   It is the connecting rod 42 that releases the lock. That is, the connecting rod 42 protrudes to the left and engages with the engaging portion 49L. At the same time, the tip of the connecting rod 42 pushes the end of the hook lever 64L, and the hook lever 64L rotates counterclockwise against the urging force of the spring 66L. Thus, the engagement shaft 62L and the hook 65L are prevented from interfering with the sliding direction of the article storage frame 21L. The connecting rod 42 protrudes to the right and engages with the engaging portion 49R. At the same time, the tip of the connecting rod 42 pushes the end of the hook lever 64R and rotates the hook lever 64L clockwise against the biasing force of the spring 66R. Thus, the engagement shaft 62R and the hook 65R are prevented from interfering in the sliding direction of the article storage frame 21R. Thus, the article transfer frame 23 can be connected and unlocked with respect to one of the article storage frames 21L and 21R in one behavior, and can slide with the article storage frame.

物品30の受け渡しが行われるべき期間ではあるものの、物品30の受け渡し中ではなかったときにトラブルが発生したときは、物品移載枠23のみ引き出してトラブルシューティングを行えば良い場合がある。そのような場合のため、連結ロッド42には手動操作用のつまみ70が設けられている。アクチュエータ45に電力が供給されていないときにつまみ70を操作すると、図8に示すように連結装置40を中立位置に置くことができる。中立位置では連結ロッド42は係合部49L、49Rのいずれにも係合していない。そのため、物品収納枠21L、21Rを筐体10内に残し、物品移載装置23のみ引き出すことが可能となる。   Although it is a period in which the article 30 should be delivered, when trouble occurs when the article 30 is not being delivered, it may be possible to perform troubleshooting by pulling out only the article transfer frame 23. For such a case, the connecting rod 42 is provided with a knob 70 for manual operation. When the knob 70 is operated when power is not supplied to the actuator 45, the coupling device 40 can be placed in the neutral position as shown in FIG. In the neutral position, the connecting rod 42 is not engaged with any of the engaging portions 49L and 49R. Therefore, the article storage frames 21L and 21R remain in the housing 10 and only the article transfer device 23 can be pulled out.

以上本発明の実施形態につき説明したが、この他、発明の主旨から逸脱しない範囲で種々の改変を加えて実施することができる。   Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

本発明は物品の預かりと払い出しを自動的に行う物品保管庫に利用可能である。   The present invention can be used for an article storage that automatically keeps and dispenses articles.
