Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a locker that uses a voice to prompt the user to close and lock the door to prevent theft accidents caused by forgetting to lock the door.

Traditionally, facilities that have lock cars installed often have a lot of theft accidents caused by people forgetting to lock their keys, so many facilities have some kind of countermeasures in place to deal with this.For example, golf courses etc. By centrally managing Lockcar keys at a specific location such as the front desk, and requiring Lockcar users to leave the key at the front desk after storing items in the Lockcar, the loss of keys can be prevented. However, even with these measures in place, there are still cases where the user leaves the key at the front desk without locking the door. There is no end to theft accidents caused by people forgetting to lock their cars.

Therefore, when items are stored in a locker, if it is possible to prompt the user to close and lock the locker with a sound that directly appeals to the user's consciousness, rather than with a warning or flashing lights, it would be possible to prevent the user from forgetting to lock the door. It is thought that it is possible to completely prevent this and completely eliminate the theft accidents caused by it.

The present invention was developed against the background of the above-mentioned circumstances, and consists of a storage body made of metal or the like and having a plurality of appropriately sized openings, and a hinge attached to each opening of the storage body so that it can be opened and closed. a door body, a locking device attached to each of these door bodies, a plurality of switch bodies disposed near the door body and generating output signals corresponding to the operation of each door body or each locking device, and the door The main components are a plurality of speakers arranged in or near the switch body, a switch memory circuit, an address circuit, a voice synthesis memory circuit, a reproduction circuit, an amplification circuit, a speaker switch circuit, and a voice synthesis memory change switch corresponding to each of the above switch bodies. and a control device configured to store the order in which the switch bodies were activated in a switch memory circuit of the control device, and activate the speakers corresponding to each switch body in that order, and also activate the address circuit. Transferring the signal of the voice synthesis memory circuit which has been activated and stored the voice synthesis information to the reproduction circuit, and causing the pre-formed voice signal prompting to close and lock the door to be sequentially reproduced from the activated speakers, and The speech synthesis information of the speech synthesis memory circuit is changed by the speech synthesis memory change switch.

Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

1 is a storage body made of metal and has an appropriately sized opening; 2 is a door body also made of metal, which is hinged to one side of the opening of the storage body 1 with a hinge 3 so as to be openable and closable; and 4 is the door body. A handle 5 is attached to the center of the side end of 2, and 5 is a lock device embedded in the lower part of the handle 4. When the handle 4 is pulled, the door body 2 opens and items can be stored in the storage body 1. After that, when the door body 2 is closed and the locking device 5 is locked, the door body 2 cannot be opened.The above items 1 to 5 constitute a locker main body L, and this locker main body L is a known one. It is similar to

Reference numerals 6a to 6n are switch bodies installed in the handle 4 of the door body 2 in each of the locker bodies L arranged in a row in the horizontal direction, and the switch bodies 6a to 6n are disposed on the door body 2 side of the storage body 1. The door body 2
The switch bodies 6a to 6n are designed to be electrically conductive when they are closed, but the mounting positions and structures of the switch bodies 6a to 6n are not limited to this, and may be sufficient as long as the opening and closing of the door body 2 can be electrically detected. Further, the switch bodies 6a to 6n may be arranged in relation to the locking device 5, and may generate an electrical output depending on the locked/unlocked state of the locking device 5.

Further, 7a to 7n are speakers 8 disposed above the door body 2 in each of the rock car main body L.
Reference numeral 8 denotes a control section which is equipped with an audio generation circuit and a necessary control circuit.The control section 8 is connected to respective switch bodies 6a to 6n and speakers 7a to 7n. When the switch body 6a is closed, it is detected and the speaker 7 corresponding to the switch body 6a outputs a voice prompting the user to close and lock the door, which has been previously formed in the voice generating circuit.
The above items 1 to 8 constitute an example of the present invention.

In addition, since the frontage of a rocker is generally narrow, instead of arranging the speaker 7 on each door body 2, several rocker bodies are grouped together and the speaker 7 is arranged only on the door body 2 of the rocker body 1 in the center. However, the audio signal may be supplied to the speaker 7 when any of the door bodies 2 is closed.

As mentioned above, various circuits can be used for the control section 8 that supplies the audio signal to the speaker 7 based on the signal from the switch body 6.
An example is shown in FIG.

That is, 9a to 9n are waveform shaping circuits, 10 is a switch memory circuit, 11 is an address circuit, 12 is a speech synthesis memory circuit, 13 is a reproduction circuit, and 14 is a
DA conversion circuit, 15 is an amplifier circuit, 16 is a control circuit, 17a to 17n are speaker switch circuits, and the output signals of the switch bodies 6a to 6n are waveform-shaped by waveform shaping circuits 9a to 9n, and then activated by the switch memory circuit 10. When input as a pulse to the address circuit 11, the address circuit 11
starts operating and transfers the signal of the speech synthesis memory circuit 12 that has stored the speech synthesis information to the speech synthesis reproduction section to reproduce the previously formed speech signal, and the reproduced signal is transferred to the DA conversion circuit 14. The signal is supplied to the amplifier circuit 15 through the circuits, and the control circuit 16 controls the operation of each of these circuits.

Further, the switch memory circuit 10, in addition to forming a starting pulse for operating the address circuit 11, also performs the following functions.
17 of the speaker switch circuits 17a to 17n inserted between the amplifier circuit 15 and the respective speakers 7a to 7n when any switch body, for example, the switch body 6a, is closed.
a to supply the audio signal only to the speaker 7a, or if the switch bodies 6a and 6n are closed in sequence, the order is memorized, and when the audio signal has been supplied to the speaker 7a, the speaker 7a is closed. Only the switch circuit 17b is closed to serve the purpose of supplying an audio signal to the speaker 7b.

The locker of the present invention, which is equipped with the control section 8 having the circuit configuration as described above, allows the user to control the door body 2 of the locker main body L.
When one of the switch bodies 6 is closed, such as by closing the door body 2 after opening and storing an article in the storage body 1, the sound pre-formed in the control circuit 16 is played back. , the voice warning is sent to the user from the speaker 7 installed on the door body 2 that the user opens and closes, for example, ``Is it safe to lock the door? Please leave the lock at the front desk.'' This audio warning can be given directly to the user, as there is no risk of overlooking it, unlike a warning, and there is no need to distinguish the meaning, unlike a display device such as a lamp. Therefore, it is possible to completely prevent locker users from forgetting to lock their items after storing them.

Furthermore, depending on the installation location, the locker may be used continuously by a large number of people, but in such cases, if the controller 8 is equipped with a switch memory circuit as described above, the door body can be Since a warning can be emitted from the speaker 7 in the order of the operations 2, there is no possibility that a warning will not be given to a specific user.

Further, in the present invention, the control section 8 is equipped with a switch 18 that can change the contents of the speech synthesis memory circuit 12 of the control section 8, that is, the contents of the speech synthesis information, and a speaker 19 directly connected to the amplifier circuit 15. Therefore, the contents of the warning voice can be easily changed depending on the time of day or the like by switching the switch 18, and the changed contents of the voice can be monitored by the speaker 19.

The present invention is as described above, and when a storage unit having a plurality of openings and door bodies is used by a plurality of people, the switch body is closed in sequence by sequentially closing the door bodies. When the switch is closed, the control unit operates to sequentially operate the speakers installed at or near the corresponding door body based on the order in which the switch bodies are closed, and also causes the speaker to close and lock each door body. Since a prompting voice warning is issued to each user, it is possible to completely prevent the user from forgetting to lock the door, and as a result, it is possible to eradicate theft accidents caused by this.

In addition, the content of the warning voice can be changed very easily depending on the time of day, the person using the locker of the present invention, or the purpose of using the locker, so it has high practical value.

Furthermore, since the main electric circuits in the rocker of the present invention are provided in the control section and are shared, the entire device can be manufactured and provided at a cost effective manner.

Therefore, the present invention is extremely practical as a locker with an audio warning device.
