  The management device 6 includes an authentication control unit 63, a transport control unit 64, a table control unit 65, a neglect monitoring unit 66, and a fire monitoring unit 67 as program modules that operate on the processor of the management device 6. Have.

The authentication control unit 63 determines whether or not the user is a registered user, and when the user is a registered user, the user enters the reading room 7 from the previous room or the reading table 2. Allow operations.
Here, the door 71 installed at the boundary between the reading room 7 and the front room, and the electric lock 72 provided on the door 71 constitute an entrance restriction device that restricts the passage from the front room to the reading room 7. The electric lock 72 is normally locked. The electric lock 72 is connected to the management device 6 via a communication network, and the management device 6 can control the locking and unlocking by transmitting a control signal to the electric lock 72.

The authentication control unit 63 acquires the personal identification number read by the card reader 5 from the card reader 5 via the communication unit 62 when the user enters the reading room 7 from the previous room, and stores it in advance in the storage unit. The registration identification number stored in 61 is checked. Then, the authentication control unit 63 matches the registered identification number with the personal identification number acquired from the card reader 5, the other user is not using the viewing room 7, and the entry prohibition mode described later is stored in the storage unit. If it is not set to 61, the electric lock 72 is controlled to be unlocked (or the door 71 is further opened), and the passage restriction to the reading room 7 is released. The electric lock 72 is automatically locked after a certain period of time has elapsed after unlocking or when the door 71 is closed after being opened once. The authentication control unit 63 notifies the conveyance control unit 64 of the personal identification number of the user together with a carry-out start signal for starting the carry-out process of the safe box 10 lent to the user. Further, the authentication control unit 63 temporarily stores the personal identification number at that time in the storage unit 61 as current user information representing the user in the reading room 7. While the current user information is stored, the management device 6 determines that there is a user in the viewing room 7.
Further, the authentication control unit 63 performs an operation of closing the providing port shutter 23 via the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2, and then performs an operation of unlocking the electric lock 72 by a thumb turn or an unlock button. Then, it is determined that the reading room 7 is unattended, and the current user information is deleted from the storage unit 61.

  On the other hand, when the personal identification number acquired from the card reader 5 does not match any registered identification number, the authentication control unit 63 notifies the card reader 5 via the communication unit 62 to that effect. Then, the card reader 5 notifies the user that the reading room 7 cannot be used and the ID card is not valid through a speaker, a liquid crystal display, or the like provided in the card reader 5 itself. Further, when another user is using the reading room 7, the authentication control unit 63 notifies the card reader 5 to that effect via the communication unit 62. Then, the card reader 5 notifies the user that the reading room 7 cannot be used through a speaker, a liquid crystal display, or the like provided in the card reader 5 itself.

  Further, the authentication control unit 63 uses the user's personal identification number in order to determine whether or not the user who has entered the reading room 7 is allowed to view the safe box 10 lent to himself / herself. The collation process is executed. Specifically, the authentication control unit 63 acquires the password entered by the user via the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2 via the communication unit 62. Then, the authentication control unit 63 confirms whether or not the acquired personal identification number matches the personal identification number representing the user in the reading room 7 and matches the personal identification number stored in the storage unit 61. If the two match, the authentication control unit 63 notifies the table control unit 65 to that effect. On the other hand, if the personal identification number received from the browsing table 2 does not match the personal identification number representing the user in the viewing room 7 and the personal identification number stored in the storage unit 61, the authentication control unit 63 browses. A signal indicating that the personal identification number is incorrect is notified to the table 2 and a message indicating that the personal identification number is incorrect is displayed on the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2.

  The transport control unit 64 controls the transport mechanism 3 to perform transport processing of the safe box 10. Therefore, when the transport control unit 64 receives the unloading start signal of the safe box 10 from the authentication control unit 63, the transfer control unit 64 executes the unloading process, and determines the storage position of the safe box 10 associated with the personal identification number notified together with the unloading start signal. This is specified by referring to the storage unit 61. Then, the transport control unit 64 controls the stacker crane 32 to take out the safe box 10 stored in the specified position of the storage rack 81 and remove the safe box 10 to one end of the transport conveyor 31 on the safe room 8 side. Let me carry it. Thereafter, the transport control unit 64 controls the transport conveyor 31 so that the safe box 10 placed on one end of the transport conveyor 31 on the safe room 8 side can be transferred to the box providing port 22 of the browsing table 2 through the transport inlet 9. Carry it down.

  On the other hand, when a carry-in start signal is received from the table control unit 65 (to be described later) accompanying the closing operation of the user's providing port shutter 23 via the operation / display unit 21 of the viewing table 2, a carry-in process is executed, and the conveyance control unit 64 The safe box 10 placed in the reading room 7 is carried into the safe room 8. For this purpose, the transport control unit 64 controls the transport conveyor 31 so that the safe box 10 placed below the box providing port 22 of the browsing table 2 passes through the transport inlet 9 on one end of the transport conveyor 31 on the safe room 8 side. To carry. Thereafter, the transport control unit 64 controls the stacker crane 32 to associate the safe box 10 placed on one end of the transport conveyor 31 with the personal identification number of the user who has operated the browsing table 2. The storage rack 81 is stored at a specific position.

Further, even when the conveyance control unit 64 receives a forced carry-in signal from the abandonment monitoring unit 66 or the fire monitoring unit 67 described later, the conveyance control unit 64 carries the safe box 10 carried out into the reading room 7 into the safe room 8. However, if the safe box 10 is loaded in a state where the user can contact the safe box 10, the user may be injured. Therefore, in this case, the conveyance control unit 64 executes the forced loading process when the user cannot contact the safe box 10 carried into the reading room 7. Specifically, the conveyance control unit 64 refers to the latest box providing port opening / closing state signal received from the browsing table 2 before starting the carry-in process. If the box opening / closing state signal indicates that the providing port shutter 23 of the reading table 2 is closed, the user cannot touch the safe box 10 placed in the reading room 2. The transport control unit 64 carries the safe box 10 into the safe room 8.
On the other hand, if the latest box providing port opening / closing state signal indicates that the providing port shutter 23 is open, the user can touch the safe box 10 carried into the reading room 7. In this case, if the providing port shutter 23 is forcibly closed, the user may be injured or the consignment may be damaged. Accordingly, the transport control unit 64 maintains a connection that prevents the safe box 10 from being loaded into the safe room 8 via the transmission unit 62 and the browsing table 2 or the management device 6 via the communication network. Send to the device. Further, in this case, the management device 6 maintains the electric lock 72 in the locked state until the safe box 10 left by the administrator is recovered and recovered from the abnormal state to the normal state, and no one is placed in the reading room 7. The entry prohibition mode is set in the storage unit 61 so as not to enter.
Thereby, the conveyance control unit 64 can prevent the user from being injured by the forced loading of the safe box 10 and can protect the safe box 10 left in the reading room 7.

  Further, the conveyance control unit 64 controls the fire shutter 4 provided at the carry-in port 9 to open and close the carry-in port 9. Specifically, when the automatic safe deposit system 1 is activated, the transport control unit 64 opens the fire prevention shutter 4 and enables the safe box 10 to be carried out to the reading room 7. On the other hand, when the automatic safe deposit system 1 is shut down or when a fire shutter closing signal is received from a fire monitoring section 67 described later, the transport control section 64 closes the fire shutter 4 and enters the safe room 8. And prevent the spread of fire. When the carry-in process is being performed, the transfer control unit 64 closes the fire-proof shutter 4 after the safe box 10 being carried has passed through the carry-in entrance 9 and into the safe room 8.

  The table control unit 65 switches the operation guide screen displayed on the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2 via the control unit 25 of the browsing table 2, or operates the user through the operation / display unit 21. Accordingly, the providing port shutter 23 provided in the box providing port 22 is opened and closed. Specifically, when the table control unit 65 receives a notification from the authentication control unit 63 that the password has been successfully authenticated, the table control unit 65 opens the providing port shutter 23 on the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2. Display operation buttons and operation guides. When receiving a signal indicating that an operation to open the providing port shutter 23 has been performed from the browsing table 2, the table control unit 65 transmits an instruction to open the providing port shutter 23 to the control unit 25 of the browsing table 2. Then, the controller 25 is caused to open the providing port shutter 23. Alternatively, when receiving a signal (loading start instruction signal) indicating that an operation of closing the providing port shutter 23 has been performed through the operation / display unit 21 from the browsing table 2, the table control unit 65 controls the control unit 25 of the browsing table 2. In addition, an instruction to close the providing port shutter 23 is transmitted to close the providing port shutter 23. When the table control unit 65 receives an open / close state signal indicating that the providing port shutter 23 is closed, the table control unit 65 passes a carry-in start signal to the transfer control unit 64.

  The abandonment monitoring unit 66 detects that the safe box 10 has been left in the browsing room 7 for a certain period of time while any user is using the browsing room 7 as an abnormal state of leaving. The monitoring period of the abnormal state of neglect is, for example, after the authentication for the personal identification number read by the card reader 5 is successful and the carry-out process is executed, and then the box is provided via the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2 Until the operation of closing the mouth 22 is performed and the carry-in process is executed. If the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2 is not operated for a certain time (for example, 10 minutes) within the monitoring period, the neglect monitoring unit 66 determines that the neglected abnormal state. Specifically, the abandonment monitoring unit 66 activates a timer included in the management device 6 at the time when the carry-out process is executed, and measures a period during which it is not operated. Then, each time a new operation is performed via the operation / display unit 21, the neglect monitoring unit 66 resets the time being measured, and starts counting from the time when the new operation is performed. The abandonment monitoring unit 66 stops the timer when the carry-in process is executed.

In addition, when a human body detection sensor is separately installed in the reading room 7 and the management device 6 receives a signal indicating that a human body has been detected from the human body detection sensor, the abandonment monitoring unit 66 is within the monitoring period. When a signal indicating that a human body has been detected from the human body detection sensor is not continuously received for a certain time (for example, 10 minutes), it may be determined that the neglected abnormal state. As such a human body detection sensor, for example, an image sensor for detecting a person from an image taken in the reading room 7 or an infrared sensor can be used. The abandonment monitoring unit 66 may determine that the abandonment is abnormal when the operation of the operation / display unit 21 and the human body detection by the human body detection sensor are not performed for a certain period of time.
When a leaving abnormality is detected, the leaving monitoring unit 66 transmits a forced carry-in signal to the transport control unit 64.

The fire monitoring unit 67 indicates that a fire has occurred through a communication network from at least one fire detector provided in the reading room 7, the front room or the building where the automatic safe deposit system 1 is installed. When the signal is received, it is determined that the fire is abnormal. When the fire monitoring unit 67 determines that the fire is abnormal, the fire monitoring unit 67 transmits a forced carry-in signal and a fire shutter closing signal to the transport control unit 64.
Furthermore, the fire monitoring unit 67 transmits a predetermined seismic intensity (for example, seismic intensity) from at least one seismic detector provided in the building where the reading room 7, the front room or the automatic safe deposit system 1 is installed via a communication network. When the earthquake occurrence signal indicating that the above earthquake has occurred is received, it may be determined that the occurrence of the earthquake is abnormal, and a forced carry-in signal and a fire shutter closing signal may be transmitted to the transport control unit 64.

Note that the management device 6 is installed in the front room and controls a monitoring camera that takes an image of the outside of the door of the reading room 7, and the video acquired from the monitoring camera is always or after browsing of the safe box 10 is completed. You may have the camera control part which transmits to the browsing table 2 in a specific case.
The management device 6 may have an electric lock control unit that controls the unlocking of the electric lock 72 according to the unlocking operation performed via the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2.

With reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, an overall operation flow of the automatic safety deposit box system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The operation flow described below is controlled by the management device 6.
First, the user causes the card reader 5 provided outside the reading room 7 to read the ID card owned by the user. At this time, it is determined whether or not there is already another user in the reading room 7 (step S101), and if another user is using the reading room 7, the management device 6 cannot use the reading room 7. This is notified to the user (step S103), and the electric lock 72 of the door 71 provided at the boundary between the reading room 7 and the front room is kept locked.

  On the other hand, if there is no other user in the reading room 7, the authentication control unit 63 of the management device 6 performs any registration identification in which the personal identification number read by the card reader 5 is stored in the storage unit 61 in advance. It is determined whether or not the number matches (step S102). If the personal identification number acquired from the card reader 5 does not match any registered identification number, the authentication control unit 63 notifies the card reader 5 via the communication unit 62 to that effect. Then, the card reader 5 notifies the user that the reading room 7 cannot be used and the ID card is not valid through a speaker, a liquid crystal display, etc. provided in the card reader 5 (step S103). Thereafter, the management device 6 ends the process.

  On the other hand, when the personal identification number acquired from the card reader 5 matches any registered identification number, the authentication control unit 63 checks whether or not the entry prohibition mode is set in the storage unit 61 (step S104). If the entry prohibition mode is set, the user is informed that the use is suspended and the reading room 7 cannot be used (step S103). On the other hand, when the room entry prohibition mode is not set, the authentication control unit 63 controls the unlocking of the electric lock 72 and cancels the restriction on the passage to the reading room 7 (step S105). Further, the authentication control unit 63 temporarily stores the personal identification number at that time in the storage unit 61 as representing the user in the reading room 7. Further, the authentication control unit 63 notifies the carry control unit 64 of the management device 6 of the carry-out start signal and the personal identification acquired from the card reader 5. Then, the transport control unit 64 controls the transport mechanism 3 to start the process of carrying out the safe box 10 at the position specified by the received personal identification number to the reading room 7 (step S106). On the other hand, the table control unit 65 of the management device 6 causes the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2 to display an operation button and an operation guide for inputting a password.

  Thereafter, the abandonment monitoring unit 66 of the management apparatus 6 determines whether or not an abandonment abnormality is detected (step S107). In step S107, if the abandonment monitoring unit 66 has not detected an abnormity abnormality, and a password is input via the operation / display unit 21, the authentication control unit 63 causes the password to be stored in the reading room 7. It is determined whether or not it matches the personal identification number representing the user who is present and the personal identification number stored in the storage unit 61 (step S108). If the personal identification number does not match the personal identification number representing the user in the reading room 7 and stored in the storage unit 61, the authentication control unit 63 identifies the personal identification number for the browsing table 2. A signal indicating that the password is incorrect is displayed, and a message indicating that the password is incorrect is displayed on the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2. Thereafter, the management device 6 returns the control to step S107.

On the other hand, when the personal identification number input via the operation / display unit 21 matches the personal identification number stored in the storage unit 61 in association with the personal identification number currently stored as the user information in step S108. The table control unit 65 causes the operation / display unit 21 to display an operation button and an operation guide for opening the providing port shutter 23 (step S109).
Thereafter, the table control unit 65 determines whether or not the user has performed an operation of opening the providing port shutter 23 via the operation / display unit 21 (step S110). When the management device 6 has not received a signal indicating that the operation of opening the providing port shutter 23 has been performed from the browsing table 2 (step S110—No), the abandonment monitoring unit 66 has detected whether or not the abandonment abnormality has been detected. (Step S111). If it is determined in step S111 that the abandonment monitoring unit 66 has not detected an abandonment abnormality, the control is returned to step S110.

On the other hand, when the management device 6 receives a signal indicating that an operation of opening the providing port shutter 23 has been performed from the browsing table 2 in step S110 (step S110-Yes), the table control unit 65 displays the browsing table 2. The control unit 25 opens the providing port shutter 23 and causes the operation / display unit 21 to display an operation button and an operation guide for closing the providing port shutter 23 (step S112). At this time, if the unloading process for transferring the called safe box 10 to the box providing port 22 of the browsing table 2 is not completed, the control unit 25 opens the providing port shutter 23 until the unloading process is completed. Wait.
Thereby, the user can use the safe box 10 lent to himself / herself.

  After step S112, the abandonment monitoring unit 66 determines whether a neglect abnormality is detected (step S113). If it is determined in step S113 that the abandonment monitoring unit 66 has not detected an abandonment abnormality, the table control unit 65 determines whether the user has performed an operation of closing the providing port shutter 23 via the operation / display unit 21. (Step S114). When the management apparatus 6 has not received a signal indicating that the operation of closing the providing port shutter 23 has been performed from the browsing table 2 (step S114—No), the control is returned to step S113. On the other hand, when the management device 6 receives a signal indicating that an operation of closing the providing port shutter 23 has been performed from the browsing table 2 (step S114—Yes), the table control unit 65 controls the control unit 25 of the browsing table 2. Then, the providing port shutter 23 is closed (step S115). After that, the table control unit 65 notifies the transfer control unit 64 of a carry-in start signal, and in response to this, the transfer control unit 64 controls the transfer mechanism 3 to place the safe box 10 in the reading room 7 in the safe room. 8 and is stored in the position specified by the personal identification number of the user of the storage rack 81 (step S116). Thereafter, the management device 6 ends the process.

  As shown in FIG. 5, if the abandonment monitoring unit 66 detects an abnormity abnormality in step S107, S111, or S113, the abandonment monitoring unit 66 notifies the conveyance control unit 64 of a forced carry-in signal. Then, the conveyance control unit 64 refers to the latest box providing port opening / closing state signal received from the browsing table 2 and determines whether the providing port shutter 23 is closed (step S117). If the providing port shutter 23 is closed, the transport control unit 64 controls the transport mechanism 3 to forcibly carry the safe box 10 in the reading room 7 into the safe room 8 (step S118). Then, the transport control unit 64 controls the transport mechanism 3 to store the forcibly loaded safe box 10 at a position specified by the personal identification number of the user of the storage rack 81.

  On the other hand, if the providing port shutter 23 is open in step S117, the transport control unit 64 sends a carry-in impossible signal indicating that the safe box 10 cannot be carried into the safe room 8 via the transmission unit 62. Alternatively, a notification is sent to the maintenance device connected to the management device 6 via the communication network (step S119). Further, the management device 6 keeps the electric lock 72 provided on the door 71 locked, and thereafter, the user enters the reading room 7 so that no one can enter the reading room 7 until the abnormality is recovered by the administrator. A room entry prohibition mode for prohibiting access is set (step S120). Thereafter, the management device 6 maintains the entry prohibition mode until it is released by the administrator.

  Next, an operation flow of the automatic safe deposit system 1 when a fire occurs when a user is in the reading room 7 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the fire monitoring unit 67 of the management device 6 receives the fire occurrence signal, it determines that the fire is abnormal. Then, the fire monitoring unit 67 unlocks the electric lock 72 (step S201). In addition, the table control unit 65 causes the operation / display unit 21 of the browsing table 2 to display a message notifying that a fire has occurred. Then, the fire monitoring unit 67 transmits a forced carry-in signal and a fire prevention shutter closing signal to the transport control unit 64. Next, the conveyance control unit 64 determines whether or not there is the safe box 10 carried out in the reading room 7 (step S202). And if there is no safe box 10 carried out in the reading room 7, the conveyance control part 64 will close the fire shutter 4 (step S205). And the management apparatus 6 complete | finishes a process. Note that the transport control unit 64 executes the process for carrying out any safe box 10 into the reading room 7, and if the safe box 10 has not been carried in, then the safe transported into the reading room 7. It can be determined that the box 10 exists.

  On the other hand, if there is the safe box 10 carried out in the reading room 7 in step S202, the transport control unit 64 refers to the latest box providing port opening / closing state signal received from the browsing table 2 and provides the providing port shutter. It is determined whether or not 23 is closed (step S203). If the providing port shutter 23 is closed, the transport control unit 64 controls the transport mechanism 3 to forcibly carry the safe box 10 in the reading room 7 into the safe room 8 (step S204). Then, the transport control unit 64 controls the transport mechanism 3 to store the forcibly loaded safe box 10 at a position specified by the personal identification number of the user of the storage rack 81. Moreover, the conveyance control part 64 closes the fire prevention shutter 4 at the time of carrying the safe box 10 into the safe room 8 from the carry-in entrance 9 (step S205). Note that a sensor may be provided at the carry-in port 9 so that the safe box 10 passing through the carry-in port 9 can be detected. In this case, when it is detected in step S204 that the safe box 10 forcibly carried in from the reading room 7 has passed through the carry-in entrance 9, a detection signal indicating that fact is transmitted to the management device 6. And the conveyance control part 64 may perform the process of step S205 as soon as the detection signal from a sensor is received, and may close the fire shutter 4.

On the other hand, if the providing port shutter 23 is open in step S203, the transport control unit 64 sends a carry-in impossible signal indicating that the safe box 10 cannot be carried into the safe room 8 via the transmission unit 62. Alternatively, a notification is sent to the maintenance device connected to the management device 6 via the communication network (step S206). In parallel with this, the conveyance control part 64 closes the fire shutter 4 (step S205).
After step S205, the management device 6 ends the process.
Even when the management device 6 receives an earthquake occurrence signal indicating that an earthquake of a predetermined seismic intensity or more has occurred from the earthquake detection sensor, the automatic lending system 1 follows the flow shown in FIG. And the fire shutter 4 may be closed.

As described above, the automatic safe deposit system according to an embodiment of the present invention causes the user to leave or leave the reading room with the safe box being called by the reading room for some reason. When an abnormal situation occurs, the occurrence of the abnormal situation is detected, and the safe box called in the reading room is forcibly carried into the safe room. Therefore, the automatic safe deposit system can securely protect the articles deposited in the safe box in a safe state.
Furthermore, in the case of a fire that occurs while the safe box in the reading room is being carried out, the automatic safe deposit system automatically loads the safe box that has been carried out into the safe room and then automatically Close the fire shutter. For this reason, the automatic safe deposit system can securely protect the articles deposited in the safe box in a safe state.
In addition, the automatic safe deposit system confirms that the providing port shutter is closed so that the user cannot touch the called safe box when forcing the safe box into the safe room. Since the forced carry-in operation is performed, it is possible to prevent the user from being injured or the articles stored in the safe box from being damaged by the forced carry-in operation.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. For example, the automatic safe depositor system may include a control device that controls the transport mechanism 3 separately from the management device 6, and the control device and the management device 6 may be connected via a communication network. In this case, the transport control unit 64 of the management device 6 stores the storage rack 81 with respect to the control device that controls the transport mechanism 3 in order to drive the transport mechanism 3 to carry in / out the safe box 10. A carry-in instruction signal or a carry-out instruction signal is transmitted together with a signal indicating the position. When the control device receives the carry-in instruction signal and the signal indicating the storage position from the management device 6, the control device controls the transport mechanism 3 to carry the safe box 10 in the reading room 7 into the safe room 8. The box 10 is stored in a predetermined position of the storage rack 81. On the other hand, when receiving the carry-out instruction signal and the signal indicating the storage position from the management device 6, the control device controls the transport mechanism 3 to take out the safe box 10 stored at a predetermined position of the storage rack 81, The safe box 10 is carried out to the reading room 7. Further, the transport control unit 64 detects that the safe box 10 carried into the reading room 7 has been carried into the safe room 8 by a signal from a sensor installed at the carry-in port 9 or the like. After detecting that the providing port shutter 23 is open, a fire shutter closing signal may be transmitted to the control device to cause the control device to close the fire shutter 4.

  Further, even after the entry prohibition mode in which entry restriction to the reading room 7 is executed in step S120 shown in FIG. 5, the authentication control unit 63 of the management unit 6 performs the operation in step S102 shown in FIG. When the personal identification number read by the card reader 5 coincides with the personal identification number currently stored as user information in the storage unit 61 at the time of entering the room, the electric lock 72 is unlocked and viewed. You may be allowed to enter the room 7. As a result, the automatic safety deposit box system 1 cannot do anything while leaving the safe box 10 left by the user who left the safe box 10 in the reading room 7 for some reason. The situation can be prevented.

  If it is possible to detect whether or not there is a user in the reading room 7 by the human body detection sensor, the transport control unit 64 determines whether or not the providing port shutter 23 is closed in step S117 shown in FIG. Alternatively, it may be determined whether a signal indicating that a human body has been detected is received from the human body detection sensor. And only when the signal which shows that the human body was detected is not received, the conveyance control part 64 cannot contact the safe box 10 carried out in the reading room 7, and by carrying in a forced carrying-in process Since it is considered that there is no possibility that the user will be injured, the forced loading process in step S118 may be executed. Further, in step S117 in FIG. 5, the conveyance control unit 64 performs the forced loading in step S118 if either the providing port shutter 23 is closed or a signal indicating that a human body has been detected has not been received. Processing may be executed.

Furthermore, in step S206 shown in FIG. 6, when the control unit 25 of the browsing table 2 receives the carry-in impossible signal from the management device 6, the operation / display unit 21 cannot recover the safe box and displays the safe box. A message that prompts the user to perform an operation of closing the providing port shutter 23 may be displayed. Furthermore, the control unit 25 may cause the operation / display unit 21 to display an operation button for closing the providing port shutter 23 so that the operation button is larger than usual or the color is changed. In this case, the conveyance control unit 64 of the management device 6 has a sufficient time (for example, 5) for the user to press the operation button for closing the providing port shutter 23 before the control shifts from step S206 to step S205. Seconds). If the operation button is not pressed within the standby period, the transport control unit 64 closes the fire shutter 4 immediately after the standby period elapses. On the other hand, if the operation button is pressed within the standby period, The conveyance control unit 64 may close the fire shutter 4 after forcibly carrying in the safe box 10 in the reading room 7.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it was set as the structure which uses an electric shutter for the providing port shutter 23, it is good also as a structure using the lock mechanism which hold | maintains a manual shutter and a shutter in a closed state. In this case, when the control unit 25 of the browsing table 2 receives a signal for opening the providing port shutter 23 from the management device 6, the control unit 25 controls the lock mechanism to release the shutter lock, and additionally provides a manual shutter closing. When detected by the sensor, the shutter is locked.
