The control unit 96 controls the overall operation of the automatic safe depositor 10 as described below in accordance with software programs stored in advance and various instructions input through the input unit 98.

<About operation>
Hereinafter, the operation of putting in and out the safe box 90 by the automatic safe deposit apparatus 10 will be described.

  As an initial state, the safe box 90 is stored in each storage unit 13 of the pair of storage shelves 12, and the safe box 90 is supported by the transfer unit 50, the intermediate transfer mechanism unit 60, and the booth side transfer mechanism unit 30. It is assumed that it is not in a state. When storing the safe box 90 in each storage shelf 12, storage position information in which the position of each storage unit 13 is associated with the specific information of the safe box 90 is created, and the storage position information is stored in the control unit 96. Or a storage unit accessible from the control unit 96.

  In this state, specific information on a predetermined safe box 90 and an instruction to use the safe box 90 are input to the input unit 98. The input to the input unit 98 may be performed by a user of the automatic safe deposit apparatus 10 or may be performed by a staff member who exists separately. Then, the control unit 96 specifies the position of the storage unit 13 where the safe box 90 specified by referring to the storage position information is present, and moves the transfer unit 50 to a position facing the specified storage unit 13. An operation command is given to the shelf-side transport mechanism unit 40 so as to make it happen. Thereby, the transfer unit 50 moves to a position facing the specified storage unit 13 (see P2 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). In this state, an instruction to take in the safe box 90 is given from the control unit 96 to the transfer unit 50, and the transfer unit 50 performs the transfer operation so as to take in the safe box 90 from the specified storage unit 13 (FIG. 1 P1).

  When the above operation ends, the control unit 96 gives an operation command to the shelf-side transport mechanism unit 40 so as to move the transfer unit 50 to a position facing the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60. As a result, the transfer unit 50 is disposed at a position in front of the one storage shelf 12 so as to face the intermediate transport mechanism 60. In this state, an instruction to send out the safe box 90 is given from the control unit 96 to the transfer unit 50, and the transfer unit 50 transfers the safe box 90 placed on the transfer unit 50 so as to send it to the intermediate transport mechanism 60. The loading operation is performed (see P3 in FIG. 1). As a result, the safe box 90 is placed at a position in front of one of the storage shelves 12 in the intermediate transport mechanism 60.

  When the transfer operation is completed, the control unit 96 gives an instruction to transport the safe box 90 to the booth stand 20 side to the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60 and the booth side transport mechanism unit 30. However, this command may be given during the transfer operation at the start of the transfer operation. Then, the intermediate transport mechanism 60 transports the safe box 90 from the front position of the one storage shelf 12 to the rear position and sends it to the booth side transport mechanism section 30 to transport the booth side transport mechanism section 30. In cooperation with the operation, it is transferred onto the booth side transport mechanism 30 (see P4 in FIG. 1). Further, the safe box 90 is horizontally moved to below the top plate opening 23 by the transport operation of the booth side transport mechanism 30.

  When the safe box 90 is transported to a position below the top plate opening 23 on the booth side transport mechanism 30, the control unit 96 gives a command to raise the safe box 90 to the booth side transport mechanism 30. The booth side transport mechanism 30 raises the safe box 90. Accordingly, the safe box 90 is disposed on the booth base 20 so as to protrude from the top plate opening 23. Then, the safe user can unlock the safe box 90 using a key or the like lent to the safe box 90 and use the safe box 90 with the lid open.

  When the safe box 90 is stored in the storage unit 13, an operation opposite to the above is performed.

  That is, the safe user closes and locks the lid after using the safe box 90, and then inputs an instruction to store the safe box 90 to the input unit 98. The input to the input unit 98 may be performed by a user of the automatic safe deposit apparatus 10 or may be performed by a staff member who exists separately.

  After the storage instruction is input, under the control of the control unit 96, the booth side transport mechanism unit 30 moves the safe box 90 downward, and then the booth side transport mechanism unit 30 and the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60 move the safe box 90 to the booth stand. 20 is transported from the inside to the front position of one storage shelf 12 (see P4 in FIG. 1).

  Thereafter, under the control of the control unit 96, the shelf-side transport mechanism unit 40 moves the transfer unit 50 to a position facing the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60 (see P2 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2), and then moves. The mounting unit 50 transfers the safe box 90 on the intermediate transport mechanism 60 so as to be taken in (see P3 in FIG. 1). Subsequently, the shelf-side transport mechanism unit 40 moves the transfer unit 50 to a position facing the storage unit 13 in which the safe box 90 is to be stored (see P2 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). The position of the storage unit 13 in which the safe box 90 is to be stored may be a position stored before taking out, or may be another empty position. In the latter case, the storage position information may be updated according to the storage position. Then, the transfer unit 50 moves the safe box 90 placed on the safe unit 90 to the storage unit 13 in a state where the safe unit 90 is moved to a position facing the storage unit 13 to store the safe box 90. (Refer to P1 in FIG. 1). As a result, the safe box 90 is stored in the storage unit 13 and the operation ends.

  Then, in a state where the frame 62 is supported in a mounted state on each piece of the pair of first support parts 63a and one piece of the second support part 63b, each piece is bolted to the bottom part 62b of the frame 62. It is fixed. As a result, the frame 62 is supported between the adjacent partitioning portions 14 with the bottom 62b substantially horizontal.

  In addition, the bolt fixing hole formed in the rear end portion 14a of the partitioning portion 14 to which both end portions in the width direction of the second support portion 63b are fixed is formed in a long hole shape that is long in the height direction. (Not shown). That is, the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60 is configured to be able to finely adjust the height and inclination at the support position by the second support unit 63b. Further, here, an adjustment bracket 63c for finely adjusting the height and inclination of the intermediate transport mechanism 60 is provided (see FIGS. 3 and 4). More specifically, the adjustment bracket 63c is a member formed in a wide, substantially L-shape, and is arranged in a posture in which one piece is disposed on a horizontal plane at a position below the second support portion 63b. The portion is fixed (bolt fixed here) to each rear end portion 14a of the adjacent partitioning portion 14. The bottom 62b of the frame 62 is formed with a hole provided with an internal thread (here, a nut) at a position facing the adjustment bracket 63c in the vertical direction, and a bolt is screwed into the hole. . This bolt is provided so that the tip end abuts against one piece of the adjustment bracket 63c. By tightening or loosening the bolt, the second support portion 63b is within the range of the long hole of the rear end portion 14a of the partitioning portion 14. The fixed position can be adjusted. Thereby, the height and inclination of the intermediate transport mechanism 60 can be finely adjusted.

  The two sets of the plurality of pulleys 66 are rotatably supported outward by one set for each of the pair of side wall portions 62a (see FIGS. 6 to 8). Here, four pulleys 66 are supported for one side wall 62a, and a total of eight pulleys 66 are provided. More specifically, each of the plurality of pulleys 66 is supported in a posture in which the rotation shaft is along the extending direction of the storage shelf 12. That is, the pulley 66 is supported by providing a bearing on the inner side between the adjacent partition portions 14. The plurality of pulleys 66 are arranged so that the direction connecting the upper ends thereof is a straight line (here, a straight line along the front-rear direction of the storage shelf 12). Here, the plurality of pulleys 66 are all formed to have the same diameter, and the plurality of pulleys 66 of each set are provided in parallel along the front-rear direction of the storage shelf 12. However, the plurality of pulleys 66 may have different diameters as long as the upper ends are supported in a linearly positioned manner. The plurality of pulleys 66 in each set are opposed to each other with the pair of side wall portions 62a interposed therebetween. Hereinafter, the pulleys 66 facing each other with the pair of side wall portions 62a interposed therebetween are referred to as a pair of pulleys 66, respectively.

  Of the plurality of pulleys 66 in each set, the pair of pulleys 66 at the foremost part and the rearmost part in the front-rear direction of the storage shelf 12 are supported by shaft members passed to the pair of side wall parts 62a. The pair of pulleys 66 at the rearmost part (the rightmost side in FIGS. 6 and 8) is configured to be driven via a transmission unit 65 by a motor 64 described later. For this reason, in particular, the shaft member on which the pair of pulleys 66 at the rearmost part is supported is preferably supported using a rolling bearing such as a ball bearing.

  A conveyor belt 67 is hung on each of the two sets of pulleys 66. The conveyor belt 67 is rotated while the plurality of pulleys 66 are rotated. That is, the transport belt 67 is moved substantially linearly along the front-rear direction of the storage shelf 12 between the upper end portions of the frontmost and rearmost pulleys 66. The substantially linearly moved portion is supported by the upper ends of the plurality of pulleys 66, thereby extending in a substantially linear shape. Then, in a state where the safe box 90 is supported on the pair of transport belts 67, when the pulley 66 is rotated and the transport belt 67 is rotated, the safe box 90 is moved in the front-rear direction of the storage shelf 12. To be transported.

  Here, the plurality of pulleys 66 are supported with respect to the pair of side wall portions 62a so that at least upper ends protrude upward from the tip portions of the pair of side wall portions 62a (see FIGS. 6 and 7). In other words, the pair of transport belts that are hung on the plurality of pulleys 66 supported by the pair of side wall portions 62a are substantially linearly moved on the upper end portions of the plurality of pulleys 66, and the tip ends of the pair of side wall portions 62a. It is moved at a position above the part. Thereby, the safe box 90 placed on the pair of transport belts 67 as described above can be transported without interfering with the pair of side wall portions 62a.

  Further, the transport belt 67 supports the safe box 90 on the end side in a range narrower than the width dimension of the safe box 90 in the width direction from the viewpoint of stably supporting the safe box 90 in a mounting form. It is good to arrange | position with a big space | interval. According to this configuration, since the pulley 66 is supported by the bearings at the positions of the pair of inner side wall portions 62a, the conveyance belt 67 can be provided at a more outer position.

  The conveyor belt 67 is a rubber belt formed in a flat belt shape without teeth. More specifically, the transport belt 67 is made of rubber having relatively high elasticity (compared to a toothed rubber belt), and is stretched around each set of pulleys 66. Thus, since the rubber belt without a tooth | gear with comparatively high elasticity is employ | adopted as the conveyance belt 67, the attachment / detachment of the conveyance belt 67 can be performed easily at the time of a maintenance.

  However, the conveyor belt 67 may be a belt having teeth formed inside, and in this case, the pulley 66 may be a gear that meshes with the toothed belt. Further, the transport belt 67 is not limited to rubber, and may be a belt made of resin having flexibility.

  Here, the shaft member on which the pair of pulleys 66 at the foremost part described above is supported is supported by being inserted into a recess formed in the pair of side wall parts 62a so as to open upward. (See FIG. 6). As a result, the front pair of pulleys 66 can be removed simply by pulling out the shaft member from the opening of the recess, and the conveyor belt 67 can be attached and detached more easily.

  In addition, a pair of guide portions 61 for guiding the safe box 90 transported on the transport belt 67 is provided on the upper side of the position where the upper end portions of the pair of transport belts 67 are disposed (see FIG. 3 to FIG. 5). The guide part 61 is a plate-like member that is long in one direction. The pair of guide portions 61 are disposed along the front-rear direction of the storage shelf 12 inside the adjacent partitioning portion 14 with a gap larger than the width dimension of the safe box 90 (slightly larger here). . The pair of guide portions 61 are fixed to adjacent partition portions by bolts or the like. The safe box 90 placed on the transport belt 67 and transported is guided along the front-rear direction of the storage shelf 12 by abutting against the guide section 61 through the pair of guide sections 61. . Further, both end portions of the guide portion 61 are formed so as to extend in the extending direction of the storage shelf 12 as approaching the end portion so as to invite the safe box 90.

  The motor 64 rotationally drives at least one of the two sets of pulleys 66 (here, the last pair of pulleys 66). Here, the motor 64 rotationally drives the pulley 66 of the last part through the transmission part 65.

  The transmission unit 65 includes a motor-side gear 65a fixed to the shaft portion of the motor 64 so as not to rotate relative to the shaft 64, and a pulley-side gear 65b fixed to the shaft member supporting the rearmost pair of pulleys 66 so as not to rotate relative to each other. It has a chain 65c hung on the motor side gear 65a and the pulley side gear 65b. However, the transmission unit 65 only needs to be able to transmit the rotational force of the shaft portion of the motor 64 as the rotational force of the shaft portion that supports the pair of pulleys 66 at the rearmost portion. Various configurations such as a combined configuration can be employed.

  The motor 64 and the transmission portion 65 are disposed between the pair of side wall portions 62a (see FIGS. 7 and 8). More specifically, the motor 64 is fixed to the bottom portion 62b of the frame 62 in a posture along the direction in which the rotation shaft connects the pair of side wall portions 62a (the extending direction of the storage shelf 12). Further, the motor side gear 65a is fixed to the shaft portion of the motor 64 positioned between the pair of side wall portions 62a, and the pulley side gear 65b supports the last pair of pulleys 66 passed between the pair of side wall portions 62a. The chain 65c fixed to the shaft member and hung on the motor side gear 65a and the pulley side gear 65b is also positioned between the pair of side wall portions 62a.

  A drive control board 69 is disposed between the pair of side wall portions 62a of the frame 62 (see FIG. 8). The drive control board 69 is a board on which a motor driver IC for driving the motor 64, an interface circuit for communicating with the control unit 96, an input / output circuit connected to a power switch, and the like are mounted. The drive control board 69 is provided between the pair of side wall parts 62 a by being supported by a support member 69 a erected on the bottom part 62 b of the frame 62. Here, the drive control board 69 is supported by the support member 69 a in a posture substantially orthogonal to the front-rear direction of the storage shelf 12.

  As described above, the motor 64, the transmission unit 65, and the drive control board 69 (support member 69 a) provided on the pair of side wall parts 62 a are provided so as to be positioned at least below the upper end part of the transport belt 67. Here, the frame 62 is formed such that the tip ends of the pair of side wall portions 62a are higher than the upper end portions of the motor 64 and the drive control board 69 (support member 69a). That is, the motor 64, the transmission unit 65, and the drive control board 69 (support member 69a) in the frame 62 are prevented from interfering with the safe box 90 that is placed on the pair of transport belts 67 and transported. It is configured as follows. Preferably, the pair of side wall portions 62a may be set to a smaller height and made compact in a range in which the motor 64, the transmission portion 65, and the shaft portion of the pulley 66 do not interfere with each other.

  In addition, the distance between the pair of side wall portions 62a may be set narrower in a range in which the motor 64, the transmission portion 65, and the drive control board 69 (support member 69a) do not interfere with the shaft portion of the pulley 66. Thereby, the space between a pair of side wall part 62a and the adjacent partition part 14 can be enlarged, such as maintenance of the pulley 66 and the conveyor belt 67 supported on the outside with respect to the pair of side wall parts 62a. Workability can be improved.

  Up to now, the example in which the intermediate transport mechanism 60 is disposed at a lower position in the storage shelf 12 has been described. However, the intermediate transport mechanism 60 may be placed at an arbitrary position in the height direction of the storage shelf 12 as necessary. Arrangement is possible. That is, since the intermediate transport mechanism 60 can be disposed between the adjacent partitioning portions 14, it is possible to omit the reinforcement by removing the partitioning portion 14, and the intermediate transporting space 18 can be placed at other positions. It is relatively easy to provide. Here, since the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60 is not mounted and fixed on the floor of the safe room 17, but is fixed to the partition unit 14, the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60 is located above the lowermost storage unit 13. In the case of providing the storage unit 13, the shelf plate 15 may be provided below the intermediate conveyance mechanism unit 60.

  According to the automatic safe depositor 10 according to the above configuration, the intermediate transport mechanism 60 is attached to the partition 14 adjacent to the extending direction of the storage shelf 12, thereby supporting the intermediate transport mechanism 60. Since the configuration can be omitted, the storage portion 13 can be provided in the arrangement space of the supporting configuration. Further, since the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60 is disposed between the adjacent partitioning portions 14, the storage shelf 12 can be designed to fill the layout space in the extending direction, and at the periphery of the intermediate transport mechanism unit 60. The storage part 13 can also be provided on the side using the partition part 14 while leaving the partition part 14. In other words, the shelf 15 can be provided by using the partition 14 and the storage unit 13 can be provided at a position on the side of the adjacent partition 14 where the intermediate transport mechanism 60 is fixed. Thereby, the storage number of the safe box 90 can be increased as much as possible.

  A plurality of pulleys 66 around which the conveyor belt 67 is hung are supported so as to be rotatable outwardly with respect to the pair of side wall portions 62 a of the frame 62. For this reason, the width dimension of the whole intermediate conveyance mechanism part 60 can be made small compared with the case where two sets of pulleys 66 are attached inside the pair of side wall parts 62a of the frame 62 at the same interval. That is, in the intermediate transport mechanism unit 10, since the bearing of the pulley 66 is provided on the inner side, the width dimension can be reduced by the dimension of the bearing. In other words, according to the intermediate transport mechanism 60, compared to the case where the pulley 66 and the transport belt 67 are provided on the inner side, the transport belt 67 can be provided on the outer side with the same width dimension, and the safe box can be more stably provided. 90 can be transported. Further, the conveyance belt 67 can be easily detached from the pulley 66 by shifting the conveyance belt 67 to the outside of the pulley 66, and the maintenance workability such as replacement of the conveyance belt 67 is excellent.

  In addition, since the motor 67 for driving the pulley 66 is disposed between the pair of side wall portions 62a, the intermediate transport mechanism portion 60 is more compact than the case where the motor 64 is disposed outside the frame 62. Can be. And according to the compact intermediate conveyance mechanism part 60, the attachment with respect to the partition part 14 can be made easy.

  Further, since the pulley 66 is rotationally driven via the transmission portion 65 provided between the pair of side wall portions 62a, the pulley 66 and the conveyor belt 67, the motor 64 and the transmission portion 65 are present across the side wall portion 62a. The maintenance workability is excellent.
