This reduces the temperature inside the delivery collection room.

The aforementioned lock 11, touch key 15, display section 17, panel switch 19, magnetic card reader 23, and refrigerator 31
etc. are connected to an electronic control circuit 40, as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, this electronic control circuit 40 includes a CPU 40a and a CPU 40a that execute arithmetic processing for various controls according to a preset control program.
A ROM 40b in which a control program, an identification key as a code key, and a password key necessary for executing arithmetic processing are recorded in advance, and data used for executing arithmetic processing by the same CPU 40a is temporarily stored. RAM4
0c as the center of a logic operation circuit, and an input section 40d and an output section 40e for outputting data to the outside are interconnected via a common bus 4Of. C
The PU 40a performs the following processing while temporarily reading and writing necessary data in the RAM 40c according to the control program stored in the R0M 40b.

That is, (1) the input aI inputs the password as code information entered from the touch key 15, the on/off status of various switches entered from the panel switch 19, and the identification number of the magnetic card CD read by the magnetic card reader 23; ≦, ■ Processing for displaying the password entered from the touch key 15 and other necessary information on the display section 17 via the output section 40e, ■ From the password and identification number imported in step (■) above.

Next, regarding the processing of the above-mentioned (1), which is the gist of the present invention, the fifth
This will be explained in detail using the flowchart shown in the figure.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the process is started, initialization process such as clearing a flag F to zero, which will be described later, is executed (step 100). Then f! It is determined whether or not a 1-ki card CD is inserted into the card slot 21 (step 110). If it is determined that a magnetic card CD is inserted, the following processing is executed.

First, the identification number stored in the magnetic card CD read by the magnetic card reader 23 is imported (step 120
), then the captured identification number is R0M40
It is determined whether the identification key matches the identification key stored in advance in b (step 130). Here, if it is determined that the two match, it means that the owner of the magnetic card CD has been identified, and then the positive number is read in from the key-in key 15 (step 140). , it is determined whether the captured PIN matches the PIN stored in advance in the ROM 40b (step 1).
50). If it is determined that the PIN number matches the PIN key, a process is executed to output a release signal to the solenoid of the lock 11 via the output unit 40e in order to unlock the lock 11 (step 160). Then, a value of 1 is set to a flag F indicating that the lock 11 is in the unlocked state (step 170). After performing step 170, the process returns to step 110. Note that in step 130,
If it is determined that the identification number does not match the identification key,
If it is determined in step 150 that the PIN number does not match the PIN key, the process similarly proceeds to step 110.
transition again.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 110 that the magnetic card CD is not inserted into the card slot 21, the process proceeds to step 190, and the value 1 is set in the flag F indicating the unlocked state of the lock 11. Determine whether or not. Here, if it is determined that the flag F is 1, it means that the lock 11 has been unlocked even though the magnetic card CD has been removed from the card slot 21. In order to lock the lock, a process is executed to output a locking signal to the solenoid of the lock 11 via the output unit 40e (step 200), and then a value O is set to a flag F indicating that the lock 11 is in the released state (step 200). Step 210
). After performing step 170, the process returns to step 110.

Note that if it is determined in step 190 that the flag F is not the value 1, steps 200 and 210 are skipped, and the process similarly returns to step 110.

As described in detail above, the delivery receiving box 1 of this embodiment compares the identification number stored in the magnetic card CD inserted through the card slot 21 with the identification key stored in advance in the ROM 40b, and further The password keyed in from the touch key 15 is compared with the password stored in the ROM 40b in advance, and only when both comparisons match,
It is configured to unlock a lock 11 provided on the outdoor door 7. Therefore, only a person (corresponding to the delivery person) who owns a magnetic card CD with a predetermined identification number stored thereon and knows the predetermined password number can open the outdoor door 7 that opens and closes the delivery collection room 5. As a result, delivery items can be prevented from being stolen, resulting in high safety.

Furthermore, since the present embodiment includes the refrigeration device 31, even if the delivered items are foods that require refrigeration, they can be stored.

Although the delivery receiving box 1 of this embodiment is designed for receiving parcels, it can also be used for receiving mail.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the lock 11 is activated only when the identification number stored on the magnetic card CD and the password keyed in from the touch key 15 respectively match the identification key and password stored in advance in the ROM 40b. However, instead of this, for example, it is possible to unlock the lock 11 simply by matching the identification number stored in the magnetic card CD with the identification key stored in advance. Alternatively, the lock 11 may be unlocked only when the password keyed in from the touch key 15 matches a password stored in advance.

Furthermore, although the above-mentioned embodiment is configured to include a refrigerator 31, it may be configured to include a heat-retaining device instead. You can also.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not equally limited to these embodiments, and it goes without saying that it can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. .

As described in detail above, the delivery receiving box of the present invention has excellent safety against theft.
