従来のロッカータイプの電子錠式収納庫では、ロッカーひとつひとつに非接触式ＩＣカードと通信するリーダが設けられている。予め電子鍵が書き込まれた非接触式ＩＣカードをリーダにかざすことでロックが解除され、ロッカーの扉を開いて収納物の出し入れを行うことができる。 In a conventional locker-type electronic lock-type storage, each reader has a reader that communicates with a non-contact IC card. The lock is released by holding a non-contact IC card in which an electronic key has been written in advance over the reader, and the storage door can be opened and removed to open or close the stored items.

リーダは比較的高価であるため、全部のロッカーにリーダを設けることができない場合もある。そこで、ロッカーのひとつにリーダを設け、当該リーダでロッカー全体を一括して開錠するようにし、電子錠式収納庫の価格を抑えることが考えられる。例えば、本体と、これに収納される複数の引出しとを備える収納庫（以下、「ラテラル」と記す）において、最も上に位置する１段目の引出しの前面（鏡板）にリーダを設置し、それからケーブルをラテラルの本体に引き込み、２段目以降の引出しのロック機構メカ部にそれぞれ当該ケーブルを接続する。当該ケーブルを通じて開錠信号を各引出しに与えることができる。このように構成すれば、ひとつのリーダでラテラルの全部の引出しを開錠することができる。 Since the reader is relatively expensive, it may not be possible to provide a reader for all lockers. Therefore, it is conceivable that a reader is provided in one of the lockers, and the entire locker is unlocked collectively by the reader, thereby reducing the price of the electronic lock-type storage. For example, in a storage (hereinafter referred to as “lateral”) having a main body and a plurality of drawers stored therein, a reader is installed on the front surface (end plate) of the uppermost first drawer, Then, the cable is pulled into the lateral main body, and the cable is connected to each of the lock mechanism mechanisms of the second and subsequent drawers. An unlocking signal can be provided to each drawer through the cable. If comprised in this way, all drawers of the lateral can be unlocked with one reader.

ラテラルの引出しはそれぞれ引き抜くことができ、他のラテラルの引出しと交換することができる。同様に、引出しの上下の位置を交換することもできる。しかし、ケーブルがあると、ケーブルを取り外し、引出しを交換した後に再びケーブルを接続するといった作業が必要になるので、交換作業を容易に行うことができなくなる。しかも、頻繁に引出しを交換するとケーブルの断線や接触不良といったトラブルの発生する可能性が高くなる。このように、ケーブルを用いてラテラルの引出しを接続するという構成には問題がある。 Each lateral drawer can be withdrawn and replaced with other lateral drawers. Similarly, the upper and lower positions of the drawer can be exchanged. However, if there is a cable, it is necessary to remove the cable, replace the drawer, and then connect the cable again. Therefore, the replacement operation cannot be easily performed. Moreover, if the drawers are frequently replaced, there is a high possibility that troubles such as cable disconnection and contact failure will occur. As described above, there is a problem in the configuration in which the lateral drawer is connected using the cable.

本発明は上記問題を解決するためになされたもので、ケーブルを用いることなくラテラルの引出しをそれぞれ接続できる電子錠式収納庫及び電子錠式収納システムを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic lock storage and an electronic lock storage system that can connect lateral drawers without using cables.

図１及び図２において、１は発明の実施の形態１に係る電子錠式収納庫を示す。電子錠式収納庫１は、箱状の本体２と、上下に重ねられて本体１に収納される複数（図１及び図２では３つ）の引出し１０と、本体２の内側に設けられ、複数の引出し１０をそれぞれ保持するサスペンション（保持部）３とを備えるラテラル（収納庫）である。引出し１０は、それぞれに設けられた取っ手１２を引くことにより手前に引き出すことができる。 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an electronic lock-type storage according to Embodiment 1 of the invention. The electronic lock-type storage 1 is provided inside a box-shaped main body 2, a plurality of drawers 10 (three in FIGS. 1 and 2) that are stacked one above the other and stored in the main body 1, and the inside of the main body 2. It is a lateral (storage) provided with suspensions (holding portions) 3 that respectively hold a plurality of drawers 10. The drawer 10 can be pulled out by pulling the handle 12 provided in each.

複数の引出し１０のうちのひとつ（最上段の１段目）は、引出し１０を本体２から引き出せないように施錠するロック機構メカ部（施錠機構）２２と、ロック機構メカ部２２による施錠を解除するための非接触カードなどの電子鍵と通信するリーダ（読み取り部）２０と、リーダ２０の出力を受けてロック機構メカ部２２によるロックを解除する鍵制御基板（制御部）２１と、鍵制御基板２１の出力を受けて開錠信号を外部へ送信する赤外線ユニット（光通信部）２３とを含んでいる。なお、図１では鍵制御基板２１とロック機構メカ部２２をひとつのユニットとして表示している。
なお、本発明の実施の形態では、赤外線ユニット２３を用いて赤外線で通信を行っているが、電波に比べて波長の短い赤外線を用いることで外部への情報漏えいが少ないといったメリットを有する。なお、赤外線に代えて他の波長帯の光を使用することを排除するものではない。 One of the plurality of drawers 10 (the uppermost first stage) is unlocked by a locking mechanism mechanism (locking mechanism) 22 that locks the drawer 10 so that it cannot be pulled out of the main body 2, and unlocking by the locking mechanism mechanism 22 is released. A reader (reading unit) 20 that communicates with an electronic key such as a non-contact card, a key control board (control unit) 21 that receives the output of the reader 20 and releases the lock by the lock mechanism mechanism unit 22, and key control An infrared unit (optical communication unit) 23 that receives an output of the substrate 21 and transmits an unlocking signal to the outside is included. In FIG. 1, the key control board 21 and the lock mechanism mechanism 22 are displayed as one unit.
In the embodiment of the present invention, infrared communication is performed using the infrared unit 23. However, there is an advantage that information leakage to the outside is reduced by using infrared light having a shorter wavelength than radio waves. In addition, it does not exclude using light of other wavelength bands instead of infrared rays.

他の引出し（２段目及び３段目）１０は、引出し１０を本体２から引き出せないようにロックするロック機構メカ部２２と、開錠信号を受信する赤外線ユニット２３と、赤外線ユニット２３の出力を受けてロック機構メカ部２２によるロックを解除する鍵制御基板２１とを含んでいる。 The other drawers (second stage and third stage) 10 are a lock mechanism mechanism unit 22 that locks the drawer 10 so as not to be pulled out from the main body 2, an infrared unit 23 that receives an unlocking signal, and an output of the infrared unit 23. And a key control board 21 for releasing the lock by the lock mechanism mechanism 22.

なお、３つの引出しのうち両端以外の引出し、すなわち２段目の引出しには、２つの赤外線ユニット２３，２３が設けられている。そして、２段目の引出しの鍵制御基板２１は、一方（上側、１段目側）の前記赤外線ユニット２３で受けた開錠信号に基づきロック機構メカ部２２によるロックを解除するとともに、他方（下側、３段目側）の赤外線ユニット２３で開錠信号を送信する（転送する）。 Of the three drawers, two infrared units 23, 23 are provided for drawers other than both ends, that is, the second drawer. The second-stage drawer key control board 21 releases the lock by the lock mechanism mechanism 22 based on the unlocking signal received by one (upper, first-stage) infrared unit 23 and the other ( An unlocking signal is transmitted (transferred) by the infrared unit 23 on the lower side and the third stage side.

鍵制御基板２１、ロック機構メカ部２２及び赤外線ユニット２３は、それぞれの引出し１０の鏡板（前面盤）の内部に設けられている。リーダ２０も同様に鏡板（前面盤）１１の内部に設けられているが、その一部（非接触ＩＣカードと通信する面）は鏡板１１の外部に突出（あるいは露出）している。 The key control board 21, the lock mechanism mechanical unit 22, and the infrared unit 23 are provided inside the end plate (front panel) of each drawer 10. Similarly, the reader 20 is also provided inside the end plate (front panel) 11, but a part thereof (surface that communicates with the non-contact IC card) protrudes (or is exposed) outside the end plate 11.

隣接する引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３は、隣接する引出し１０が収納された状態において互いに対向するように配置されている。すなわち、図１（ｂ）に示すように、鏡板１１の上側面及び／又は下側面であって、同じ位置に各赤外線ユニット２３は配置されている（言い換えれば、各赤外線ユニット２３は本体２の底面及び上面に一本の垂直な線の上に配列されている）。各赤外線ユニット２３が位置する鏡板１１の部分は開口されていて、本体に収納された状態で、対向する赤外線ユニット２３と２３は、その部分を通じて非接触で通信を行うことができる。
引出し１０を相互に入替可能とするには、上述のような赤外線ユニット２３の配置が好ましい。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されない。少なくとも、隣接する引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３同士が対向していればよい。 The infrared units 23 of the adjacent drawers 10 are arranged so as to face each other when the adjacent drawers 10 are stored. That is, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), each infrared unit 23 is arranged at the same position on the upper side surface and / or lower side surface of the end plate 11 (in other words, each infrared unit 23 is connected to the main body 2. Arranged on a single vertical line at the bottom and top). The part of the end plate 11 where each infrared unit 23 is located is opened, and the infrared units 23 and 23 facing each other can communicate in a non-contact manner through the part while being accommodated in the main body.
In order to make the drawers 10 interchangeable with each other, the arrangement of the infrared unit 23 as described above is preferable. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is sufficient that at least the infrared units 23 of the adjacent drawers 10 face each other.

図１（ｂ）から理解できるように、引出し１０を本体２の奥まで押し込んだ状態で赤外線ユニット２３と２３が対向するようになり、リーダ２０による開錠信号が各引出し１０へ伝達されるようになる。手前に引き出した状態では開錠信号は伝達されないが、その引出し１０は引き出されているので開錠信号を受け取る必要はない。ただし、リーダ２０の設けられている引出し１０からみて、引き出されている引出し１０よりも遠い引出し１０には開錠信号が伝わらず、当該遠い引出し１０を開錠することはできない。 As can be understood from FIG. 1 (b), the infrared units 23 and 23 face each other with the drawer 10 pushed into the main body 2 so that the unlocking signal from the reader 20 is transmitted to each drawer 10. become. Although the unlocking signal is not transmitted in the state of being pulled out to the front, it is not necessary to receive the unlocking signal because the drawer 10 is pulled out. However, when viewed from the drawer 10 provided with the reader 20, the unlocking signal is not transmitted to the drawer 10 farther than the drawer 10 being pulled out, and the far drawer 10 cannot be unlocked.

図３を参照してロック機構メカ部（施錠機構）２２について説明を加える。
鏡板１１の内部には、その左右全長にわたって太い針金でできたコの字金具２２ａが設けられている。コの字金具２２ａには取っ手１２が取り付けられているとともに、コの字金具２２ａの上部の針金を中心に数十度の角度で回転できるように支えられている。取っ手１２を引くと、コの字金具２２ａの先端部分が手前に飛び出す（図３（ｄ’））。このとき、鏡板１１の左右両端に設けられたロック２２ｂが押されてその先端が内側に引っ込むことで、引出し１０のロックが解除される（図３（ｂ’））。取っ手１２を引くのを止めるとロック２２ｂは元の状態に戻る（図３（ｂ））。この状態で引出し１０を本体２へ奥まで押し込むと、ロック２２ｂの先端が本体２内部に設けられた図示しない突起に嵌まり込み、引出し１０はロックされる。 The lock mechanism mechanism (locking mechanism) 22 will be described with reference to FIG.
Inside the end plate 11, a U-shaped bracket 22a made of a thick wire is provided over the entire length of the left and right sides. A handle 12 is attached to the U-shaped bracket 22a, and is supported so that it can be rotated at an angle of several tens of degrees around the wire on the upper side of the U-shaped bracket 22a. When the handle 12 is pulled, the leading end portion of the U-shaped bracket 22a pops out toward the front (FIG. 3 (d ′)). At this time, the locks 22b provided at both the left and right ends of the end plate 11 are pushed and the tip is retracted inward, whereby the lock of the drawer 10 is released (FIG. 3 (b ′)). When the pulling of the handle 12 is stopped, the lock 22b returns to the original state (FIG. 3B). When the drawer 10 is pushed all the way into the main body 2 in this state, the tip of the lock 22b is fitted into a projection (not shown) provided inside the main body 2, and the drawer 10 is locked.

発明の実施の形態１に係るロック機構メカ部２２は、さらに、コの字金具２２ａに取り付けられた板２２ｃと、板２２ｃを押さえるソレノイドコイル２２ｄを備える。開錠信号を受けていないとき、鍵制御基板２１はソレノイドコイル２２ｄの突起を板２２ｃの上に突出させている（図３（ｃ））。この状態で取っ手１２を引いても、板２２ｃがソレノイドコイル２２ｄの突起に当たるため、コの字金具２２ａの先端部分が手前に飛び出すことはない（図３（ｄ））。引出し１０のロック２２ｂによるロックは解除されない。すなわち、引出し１０は施錠（ロック）されたままである。 The lock mechanism mechanical unit 22 according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a plate 22c attached to the U-shaped bracket 22a and a solenoid coil 22d that holds the plate 22c. When the unlocking signal is not received, the key control board 21 has the projection of the solenoid coil 22d protruding on the plate 22c (FIG. 3C). Even if the handle 12 is pulled in this state, since the plate 22c hits the protrusion of the solenoid coil 22d, the tip end portion of the U-shaped bracket 22a does not jump out (FIG. 3D). The lock of the drawer 10 by the lock 22b is not released. That is, the drawer 10 remains locked (locked).

開錠信号を受けたとき、鍵制御基板２１はソレノイドコイル２２ｄの突起を引っ込める（図３（ｃ’））。この状態で引出し１０を引き出すことができる。 When receiving the unlocking signal, the key control board 21 retracts the protrusion of the solenoid coil 22d (FIG. 3 (c ')). In this state, the drawer 10 can be pulled out.

図４を参照して発明の実施の形態１における開錠信号の流れを説明する。ここでは、リーダ２０を備える引出し１０を親ユニット、それ以外の引出し１０を子ユニットと呼んでいる。
親ユニットのリーダ２０が図示しない非接触式ＩＣカードと通信を行う（Ｓ１）。これで得たデータに基づき鍵制御基板２１が認証を行う（Ｓ２）。認証は公知の技術なのでその説明は省略する。認証の結果、当該カードが引出しを開ける権限をもつもののカードであると判定したとき、ロック機構メカ部２２を制御してロックを解除する（Ｓ３）。図３の例ではソレノイドコイル２２ｄの突起を引っ込める。それとともに、赤外線ユニット２３で外部（子ユニットＡ）へ開錠信号を送信する（Ｓ４）。 The flow of the unlocking signal in the first embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the drawer 10 provided with the reader 20 is called a parent unit, and the other drawers 10 are called child units.
The reader 20 of the parent unit communicates with a non-contact type IC card (not shown) (S1). Based on the data thus obtained, the key control board 21 performs authentication (S2). Since authentication is a known technique, its description is omitted. As a result of authentication, when it is determined that the card has the authority to open the drawer, the lock mechanism mechanism 22 is controlled to release the lock (S3). In the example of FIG. 3, the protrusion of the solenoid coil 22d is retracted. At the same time, an unlocking signal is transmitted to the outside (child unit A) by the infrared unit 23 (S4).

引出し１０がロックされた状態では、赤外線ユニット２３は隣接する引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３と対向している。したがって、親ユニットの赤外線ユニット２３の開錠信号は、隣接する引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３で受信される。これを受けて、子ユニットＡの鍵制御基板２１がロック機構メカ部２２を制御してロックを解除する（Ｓ５）。それとともに、赤外線ユニット２３で外部（子ユニットＢ）へ開錠信号を転送する（Ｓ６）。 In a state where the drawer 10 is locked, the infrared unit 23 faces the infrared unit 23 of the adjacent drawer 10. Therefore, the unlocking signal of the infrared unit 23 of the parent unit is received by the infrared unit 23 of the adjacent drawer 10. In response to this, the key control board 21 of the child unit A controls the lock mechanism mechanism 22 to release the lock (S5). At the same time, an unlocking signal is transferred to the outside (slave unit B) by the infrared unit 23 (S6).

子ユニットＡの赤外線ユニット２３の開錠信号は、隣接する子ユニットＢの赤外線ユニット２３で受信される。これを受けて、子ユニットＢの鍵制御基板２１がロック機構メカ部２２を制御してロックを解除する（Ｓ７）。子ユニットＢは複数の引出し１０の端（最下段）に位置するから、開錠信号の転送は行わない。 The unlock signal of the infrared unit 23 of the child unit A is received by the infrared unit 23 of the adjacent child unit B. In response to this, the key control board 21 of the child unit B controls the lock mechanism mechanism 22 to release the lock (S7). Since the child unit B is located at the end (lowermost stage) of the plurality of drawers 10, the unlocking signal is not transferred.

以上の説明からわかるように、ひとつのリーダ２０の出力で、全ての引出し１０を一括して開錠することができる。各引出し１０の鍵制御基板２１は電池で動作し、しかも引出し１０の間の通信は赤外線による非接触で行われるので、発明の実施の形態１に係る電子錠式収納庫には、引出し１０を接続するケーブルが不要である。したがって、各引出し１０を引き抜いたり交換することが容易であるとともに、ケーブルの断線や接触不良といったトラブルが発生することはなく、使いやすくかつ信頼性の高い電子錠式収納庫を提供することができる。 As can be seen from the above description, all the drawers 10 can be unlocked collectively by the output of one reader 20. Since the key control board 21 of each drawer 10 is operated by a battery, and communication between the drawers 10 is performed in a non-contact manner by infrared rays, the drawer 10 is provided in the electronic lock storage according to Embodiment 1 of the invention. No connection cable is required. Therefore, it is easy to pull out or replace each drawer 10, and troubles such as cable disconnection and poor contact do not occur, and an easy-to-use and highly reliable electronic lock storage can be provided. .

発明の実施の形態１の変形例１．
図１等で示したラテラルは３段式である。３段以上の引出し１０備える場合、両端（最上段と最下段）以外の中間に位置する引出し１０は、図４の子ユニットＡのように開錠信号の受信機能と転送機能の両方を備えている。 Modification 1 of Embodiment 1 of the Invention
The lateral shown in FIG. 1 etc. is a three-stage type. In the case of having three or more drawers 10, the drawer 10 located in the middle other than both ends (uppermost and lowermost stages) has both an unlocking signal reception function and a transfer function like the child unit A in FIG. 4. Yes.

本発明は、図５に示すように２段のラテラルにも適用できる。２段の場合、中間に位置する引出しは存在しないので、子ユニットに転送機能は不要であり、受信機能のみを備えればよい。このような構成の電子錠式収納庫も本発明に含まれる。 The present invention can also be applied to a two-stage lateral as shown in FIG. In the case of two stages, there is no drawer located in the middle, so the child unit does not need a transfer function and only needs a reception function. An electronic lock-type storage having such a configuration is also included in the present invention.

発明の実施の形態１の変形例２．
図２では、中間に位置する引出し１０のみが、受信用の赤外線ユニット２３と送信（転送）用の赤外線ユニット２３の２つを備えていた。したがって、最下段の引出し１０を他の引出し１０と入れ換えて中間に置くようにすると、入れ換えにより最下段に位置するようになった他の引出し１０へ開錠信号を伝えることはできなかった。 Modification 2 of Embodiment 1 of the Invention
In FIG. 2, only the drawer 10 located in the middle includes two infrared units 23 for reception and infrared units 23 for transmission (transfer). Accordingly, if the lowermost drawer 10 is replaced with another drawer 10 and placed in the middle, the unlocking signal cannot be transmitted to the other drawer 10 that is positioned at the lowermost position by replacement.

図６に示すように、両端（最上段と最下段）に位置する引出し１０に２つの赤外線ユニット２３を設けるようにしてもよい。このようにすれば、どの引出し１０をどの位置（段）に置くこともできる。リーダ２０を備える引出し（親ユニット）１０の２つの赤外線ユニット２３はいずれも開錠信号を送信するものであり、それ以外の引出し（子ユニット）１０では、一方の赤外線ユニット２３は開錠信号を受信するものであり、他方の赤外線ユニット２３は開錠信号を送信（転送）するものである。 As shown in FIG. 6, two infrared units 23 may be provided on the drawer 10 located at both ends (the uppermost stage and the lowermost stage). In this way, any drawer 10 can be placed at any position (stage). The two infrared units 23 of the drawer (parent unit) 10 provided with the reader 20 both transmit an unlocking signal, and in the other drawers (child units) 10, one infrared unit 23 outputs an unlocking signal. The other infrared unit 23 transmits (transfers) an unlocking signal.

なお、両端（最上段と最下段）に位置する引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３の一方には、対向する赤外線ユニット２３がない。外部からのノイズによる誤動作を防止するなどの観点からは、使用しない赤外線ユニット２３を無効にしておくことが好ましい。そのやり方として、例えば図７と図８に示すものがある。 One of the infrared units 23 of the drawer 10 located at both ends (the uppermost stage and the lowermost stage) does not have an opposing infrared unit 23. From the standpoint of preventing malfunction due to external noise, it is preferable to disable the unused infrared unit 23. For example, there are those shown in FIG. 7 and FIG.

図７はソフトウエア的に使用しない赤外線ユニット２３を無効にするものである。赤外線ユニット２３が発光素子と受光素子の両方を内蔵し、双方向通信ができる場合に、相手に対して呼びかけを行い（Ｓ１０）、応答がない場合（Ｓ１１でＮＯ）に、その赤外線ユニット２３を無効にする（Ｓ１２）。 FIG. 7 invalidates the infrared unit 23 not used in software. When the infrared unit 23 has both a light emitting element and a light receiving element and can perform two-way communication, a call is made to the other party (S10), and if there is no response (NO in S11), the infrared unit 23 is Invalidate (S12).

図８はハードウェア的に対応するもので、使用しない赤外線ユニット２３を無効にするものである。赤外線ユニット２３を無効にするためのスイッチ２４を備える。鏡板１１に設けられたスイッチ２４は、本体２に設けられた図示しない突起が接触してオンになるものとする。当該突起は本体２の上面内側及び底面内側に設けられており、引出し１０を押し込んだ状態で図示しない突起がスイッチ２４をオンにする。これを鍵制御基板２１が検知して、オンにされたスイッチ２４側の赤外線ユニット２３を無効にする。これと逆に、オンにされたスイッチ２４側の赤外線ユニット２３を有効にしてもよい。例えば、スイッチ２４を磁石でオンになるリードスイッチとし、引出し１０の鏡板１１の上下に磁石を組み込んでおく。本体２の上面内側及び底面内側には磁石を設けない。引出し１０を押し込んだ状態で、隣接する引出し１０の図示しない磁石によりスイッチ２４がオンになる。これは当該スイッチ２４側には引出し１０が存在することを意味するから、鍵制御基板２１はオンにされたスイッチ２４側の赤外線ユニット２３を有効にし、オフのままのスイッチ２４側の赤外線ユニット２３を無効にする。 FIG. 8 corresponds to the hardware and invalidates the unused infrared unit 23. A switch 24 for disabling the infrared unit 23 is provided. The switch 24 provided on the end plate 11 is turned on when a projection (not shown) provided on the main body 2 comes into contact. The protrusions are provided on the inner surface of the upper surface and the inner surface of the bottom surface of the main body 2. This is detected by the key control board 21, and the infrared unit 23 on the switch 24 side that is turned on is invalidated. Conversely, the infrared unit 23 on the switch 24 side that is turned on may be activated. For example, the switch 24 is a reed switch that is turned on by a magnet, and magnets are incorporated above and below the end plate 11 of the drawer 10. Magnets are not provided on the inner side of the upper surface and the inner side of the bottom surface of the main body 2. With the drawer 10 pushed in, the switch 24 is turned on by a magnet (not shown) of the adjacent drawer 10. This means that the drawer 10 exists on the switch 24 side, so that the key control board 21 enables the infrared unit 23 on the switch 24 side that is turned on, and the infrared unit 23 on the switch 24 side that remains off. Disable.

発明の実施の形態１の変形例３．
図９に示すように、ラテラルの全ての引出し１０をリーダ２０を含まない子ユニットとしてもよい。この場合、開錠信号をラテラルの外部から受ける必要がある。例えば、本体２の上面又は底面に赤外線ユニット２３と３２の通信を可能とする赤外線の伝播経路（例えば貫通穴）を設け、これを通じて最上段の引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３が、外部の赤外線ユニット３２と通信を行う。 Modification Example 1 of Embodiment 1 of the Invention
As shown in FIG. 9, all lateral drawers 10 may be child units that do not include the reader 20. In this case, it is necessary to receive an unlocking signal from the outside of the lateral. For example, an infrared propagation path (for example, a through hole) that enables communication between the infrared units 23 and 32 is provided on the upper surface or the bottom surface of the main body 2, and the infrared unit 23 of the uppermost drawer 10 passes through the infrared transmission unit 32. Communicate with.

例えば、図１０に示すように、図９のラテラルの上に両開きのキャビネット４０を置き、これにリーダ３０、鍵制御基板３１及び赤外線ユニット３２を設けるようにすれば、ラテラル１とキャビネット４０の両方を一括して開錠するようにできる。 For example, as shown in FIG. 10, if the double-open cabinet 40 is placed on the lateral of FIG. 9 and the reader 30, the key control board 31 and the infrared unit 32 are provided on this, both the lateral 1 and the cabinet 40 will be provided. Can be unlocked collectively.

発明の実施の形態２．
発明の実施の形態１は、赤外線ユニット２３が互いに対向するように配置されたものであった。発明の実施の形態２は、導光部材（光ファイバなど）を用いることで、赤外線ユニット２３が互いに対向するように配置しなくてもよいようにしたものである。 Embodiment 2 of the Invention
In the first embodiment of the invention, the infrared units 23 are arranged so as to face each other. Embodiment 2 of the invention uses a light guide member (such as an optical fiber) so that the infrared units 23 do not have to be arranged to face each other.

図１３は、発明の実施の形態２に係る電子錠式収納庫のブロック図である。この例では、導光部材２５が本体２の右側面に全ての引出し１０をカバーするように設けられている。各引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３は、引出し１０が押し込まれた状態で、鏡板１１の右側面及び本体２の右側面内側に設けられた貫通穴を通じて導光部材２５へ光を送り込むとともに、導光部材２５から光を受け取る。なお、引出し１０が引き出されると、鏡板１１の穴と本体２の穴が一致しなくなるので、各引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３は通信できなくなる。各引出し１０の赤外線ユニット２３は、それぞれ導光部材２５に対向するように配置されているといえる。 FIG. 13 is a block diagram of an electronic lock storage according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this example, the light guide member 25 is provided on the right side surface of the main body 2 so as to cover all the drawers 10. The infrared unit 23 of each drawer 10 sends light to the light guide member 25 through a through hole provided in the right side surface of the end plate 11 and the right side surface of the main body 2 in a state where the drawer 10 is pushed in, and the light guide member Receive light from 25. When the drawer 10 is pulled out, the hole of the end plate 11 and the hole of the main body 2 do not coincide with each other, so that the infrared unit 23 of each drawer 10 cannot communicate. It can be said that the infrared unit 23 of each drawer 10 is arranged so as to face the light guide member 25.

発明の実施の形態２によれば、途中の引出し１０が引き抜かれていても、残りの引出し１０について一括して開錠することができる。
なお、図１４及び図１５に示すように、天板６０と底板７０の内部に導光部材２５を設けるようにしてもよい。 According to the second embodiment of the invention, even if the drawer 10 on the way is pulled out, the remaining drawers 10 can be unlocked collectively.
As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the light guide member 25 may be provided inside the top plate 60 and the bottom plate 70.

さらに他の変形例を図１６乃至図１８に示す。
図１６は、図１０の変形例であり、両開きのキャビネット４０の両扉に赤外線ユニット２３を設けることで両扉を開錠するものである。さらに、図１６のラテラルは４段である。
図１７は、本発明を横置きの収納庫に適用した例を示す。図１７の収納庫は、引出しが立てではなく、横に並んでいるもの（図６を横に倒したようなもの）である。本発明はこのような収納庫にも適用できる。図１７では、赤外線ユニット２３が水平方向に並んで配列されている。引出しを相互に入替可能とするには、上述のような赤外線ユニット２３の配置が好ましい。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されない。少なくとも、隣接する引出しの赤外線ユニット２３同士が対向していればよい。
図１８は、発明の実施の形態に係る電子錠式収納庫を複数組み合わせたものに、本発明を適用した例を示す。例えば、図１０と図１１又は図１２を組み合わせたもの、図１６と図１７を組み合わせたものに適用できる。図１８は、それらを混合した構成を示す。複数の電子錠式収納庫は離隔しており、そのままでは赤外線ユニット２３間で通信できないので、それらを結ぶための通信路Ｌが設けられている。通信路Ｌは、その両端にそれぞれ赤外線ユニット２３が設けられ、その中間は電気信号（例えばＬＡＮ）で伝達されるものである。あるいは、通信路Ｌは、光ファイバなど導光部材であって、光信号をそのまま伝播させるものである。 Still other modifications are shown in FIGS.
FIG. 16 is a modification example of FIG. 10, in which both doors are unlocked by providing the infrared unit 23 at both doors of the double-open cabinet 40. Further, the lateral of FIG. 16 has four stages.
FIG. 17 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a horizontal storage. The storage shown in FIG. 17 is one in which the drawers are arranged side by side rather than standing up (like the one in FIG. 6 lying down). The present invention can also be applied to such a storage. In FIG. 17, the infrared units 23 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. The arrangement of the infrared unit 23 as described above is preferable in order that the drawers can be replaced with each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is sufficient that at least the adjacent infrared units 23 of the drawers face each other.
FIG. 18 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a combination of a plurality of electronic lock storages according to the embodiment of the invention. For example, the present invention can be applied to a combination of FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 or FIG. 12, and a combination of FIG. 16 and FIG. FIG. 18 shows a configuration in which they are mixed. The plurality of electronic lock-type storages are separated and cannot communicate with each other as they are, so a communication path L is provided for connecting them. The communication path L is provided with infrared units 23 at both ends, and an intermediate signal is transmitted by an electrical signal (for example, LAN). Alternatively, the communication path L is a light guide member such as an optical fiber, and propagates an optical signal as it is.

上記発明の実施の形態１及び２では、複数の引出しを一括して開錠したが、本発明はこれに限定されない。例えば、各引出しに予め固有のアドレスを割り当てるとともに、赤外線ユニット２３で伝達する信号にアドレス信号を含ませるようにすれば、特定の引出しのロックのみ解除するようにできる。 In Embodiment 1 and 2 of the said invention, although several drawer | drawer was unlocked collectively, this invention is not limited to this. For example, if a unique address is assigned to each drawer in advance and an address signal is included in the signal transmitted by the infrared unit 23, only a specific drawer lock can be released.

なお、上述した発明の実施の形態に係る電子錠式収納庫は、非接触式ＩＣカードで開錠するものであるが、例えば、開錠後一定時間を経過したときに自動的に施錠されるものであってもよい。例えば、その時点で開いている引出しがあった場合は、この引出しを所定の位置に押し込むことで自動的に施錠されるものであってもよい。あるいは、全ての引出しが押し込まれたことを検知した後、直ちに又は設定時間後自動的に施錠するものでもよい。又は、ＩＣカードをリーダにかざすことで施錠するものであってもよい。このようないずれの電子錠式収納庫についても、本発明を適用することができる。 The electronic lock storage according to the embodiment of the invention described above is unlocked with a non-contact IC card, and is automatically locked when a certain time has elapsed after unlocking, for example. It may be a thing. For example, when there is a drawer that is open at that time, the drawer may be automatically locked by pushing the drawer into a predetermined position. Or after detecting that all the drawers were pushed in, you may lock immediately or after a set time. Alternatively, it may be locked by holding the IC card over a reader. The present invention can be applied to any such electronic lock storage.

本発明は、以上の実施の形態に限定されることなく、特許請求の範囲に記載された発明の範囲内で、種々の変更が可能であり、それらも本発明の範囲内に包含されるものであることは言うまでもない。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims, and these are also included in the scope of the present invention.
