Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a storage device.

[Prior art and its problems]

Conventionally, for example, a storage device is equipped with a loading door that opens and closes an opening provided on the outer wall of a building, and a customer opens the loading door, places a bag inside, and closes the loading door, thereby allowing the customer to store the bag. is configured to be dropped into a storage room provided inside the building.

For this reason, in such conventional storage devices, the input slot and the storage chamber are close together, making it easy for unauthorized acts such as fishing for bags, and there is a lack of certainty regarding theft prevention. There are some drawbacks.

In particular, since the input slot and the storage chamber are close to each other, when bags are inserted, they tend to accumulate at the front of the storage compartment (on the input slot side). The accumulated upper bag makes it extremely easy for illegal acts such as fishing to be carried out.

Therefore, in order to solve these drawbacks, the second
As shown in the figure, a loading door 1 is rotatably attached to an opening formed in a wall and opens and closes the opening;
an article input box 2 with an open end, which is rotatably disposed inside the wall and facing the opening;
a mechanism (not shown) for reversing the input box in conjunction with the opening/closing operation of the input door 1; a pusher plate 3 retractably housed inside the input box 2; The pusher plate 3 is provided with a mechanism (not shown) for moving the pusher plate 3 into and out of the input box 2 in conjunction with the reversing operation of the input box 2, so that when the door is opened, one end opening of the input box 2 is positioned facing the pusher plate 3. 3 into the inside of the input box 2, and at the same time, the opening of the input box 2 is reversed when the door is closed.
A night safe has been proposed in which a pusher plate 3 is made to protrude from the input box 2 so that the inserted articles held on the pusher plate 3 are forcibly discharged into the storage chamber 4 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 154280/1983). has been done.

However, even with this proposal, the above-mentioned problems cannot be said to have been sufficiently solved, and new problems have arisen.

In other words, since the rotary item input box 2 is configured, if you want to input items into the rear part of the storage chamber 4, the length of the item input box 2 must be increased, and if it becomes longer, the upper and lower A large space is required in both directions, which increases the size of the device as a whole, which limits the installation location of the device, and in some cases, the length of the product input box cannot be increased. However, the above problems may not be fully resolved.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made in view of the above points,
The present invention provides a storage device including a storage chamber, a telescoping passageway disposed at an opening end of the storage chamber, and a shielding member disposed at a front portion of the telescoping passageway.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway side view of a storage device according to the present invention.

In the figure, 11 is an outer wall of the building, and 12 is a door provided at a window of this outer wall 11.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a storage chamber provided inside the outer wall 11, and a door is provided at the rear of the storage chamber 13, and by opening this door, it becomes possible to take out items that have been dropped inside. ing.

14a and 14b are shutter plates, and this shutter plate 14a is arranged at the rear of the door 12, and the shutter plate 14a descends downward until the opening formed in the shutter plate 14a reaches a predetermined position. Then, the shutter plate 14a is configured to be in the open state, and conversely, when the shutter plate 14a is raised, the shutter plate 14b is configured to be in the closed state. When the shutter plate 14a descends and operates in the open state, the shutter plate 14b descends and operates in the closed state, and conversely, when the shutter plate 14a rises and operates in the closed state, the shutter plate 14b lowers and operates in the closed state. 14b is raised to operate in the open state. That is, when one shutter plate is in an open state, the other shutter plate is in a closed state, and conversely, when one shutter plate is in a closed state, the other shutter plate is in an open state.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a telescoping passage which constitutes the most important part of the present invention, and this telescoping passage 15 is provided between the shutter plate 14a and the shutter plate 14b.

The telescoping passage 15 is constructed by combining a plurality of cylinders (an appropriate number depending on the telescoping length) with substantially square cross sections.

These cylinders 16 ₁ , 16 ₂ , 16 ₃ ...16n
has an outwardly projecting flange 17 at its front end.
₁ , 17 ₂ , 17 ₃ . . . 17n are integrally provided, and among these cylinders, the shutter plate 14a
The flange 17 ₁ protrudes inward from the cylindrical body 16 ₁ located closest to the cylindrical body 16 1 to form a hook portion 17a, and the outer wall surface portions of the cylindrical bodies 16 ₁ , 16 ₂ , 16 ₃ . Grooves 18 ₁ , 18 ₂ , 18 ₃ ...18n
is formed.

Moreover, these cylindrical bodies 16 ₁ , 16 ₂ , 16 ₃ ...1
6n have slightly different sizes in the radial direction, that is, the outer diameter of the cylinder 16 1 closest to the shutter plate 14a is different from that of the cylinder ₁ adjacent to this cylinder 16 ₁ .
When the cylindrical body 16 1, which is configured to have approximately the same inner diameter as the cylinder 6 ₂ and is closest to the shutter plate _14a , is moved to the right in the figure, the cylindrical body 16 ₁ is inserted into the cylindrical body 16 ₂ .
Moreover, the cylinder 16 ₂ in which the cylinder 16 ₁ is housed is the cylinder 16
₃ , and in turn the cylinder 16 _o-1 is configured to be housed within the cylinder 16n. In other words, when the telescoping passage 15 is fully extended, the adjacent cylindrical bodies are only fitted at their ends, but when the telescoping passage 15 is contracted, the cylindrical bodies 16
₁ is inside the cylinder 16 ₂ , the cylinder 16 ₂ is inside the cylinder 16 ₃ ,
...The cylindrical body 16o _-1 is constructed such that most of it is accommodated and fitted within the cylindrical body 16n.

Moreover, the flanges 17 ₂ , 17 ₃ , ..., 17n
grooves 18 ₁ , 18 ₂ , 18 ₃ , . . . formed on the outer wall surface of the cylinder bodies 16 ₁ , 16 ₂ , 16 ₃ .
...A hole is formed corresponding to the position of 18n,
This hole has pins 19 ₂ , 19 ₃ , 19 ₄ , ... 19
n is inserted and disposed, pin 19 ₂ moves in groove 18 ₁ , pin 19 ₃ moves in groove 18 ₂ , and pin 19 n moves in groove 18 _o-1 while being guided. It's getting old.

20 is a driving member of the cylinder 16 ₁ attached to the end of the flange 17 ₁ ;
0 is screwed onto the shaft 21, and the shaft 21 is rotated by the force of the motor.
As the drive member 20 rotates, the drive member 20 moves in the front-rear direction (left-right direction in the figure), and moves the cylindrical body 16 ₁ in the front-rear direction (left-right direction in the figure).

In addition, 22 is a flange 17 ₁ , 17 ₂ , 17 ₃ ,
It is a shaft passing through a hole formed in . . . and serves as a guide member for the cylindrical bodies 16 ₁ , 16 ₂ , .

If the storage device is configured as described above, and the storage device is used as a night safe, for example, if we explain its function, a customer holding a bag containing cash will be able to keep it. When you first open the door 12 with the key, the shutter plate 14 opens.
a has come down, and the opening of the shutter plate 14a matches the part of the cylinder ₁₆₁ , and the shutter plate 14a
is in the open state, so if you place your bag from inside the cylinder ₁₆₁ to the rear cylinder and turn on the switch in this state, the shutter plate 14a will rise to the closed state and the shutter plate 14b will also open. The cylinder 16 1 rises and becomes open, and along with these movements, the shaft 21 rotates and applies a force in the rearward direction (to the right in the figure) to the cylinder 16 ₁ to move the cylinder 16 ₁ in the rearward direction. , the cylinder 16 ₁ gradually fits into the cylinder 16 ₂ , and the flange 17 ₁ of the cylinder 16 ₁ comes into contact with the flange 17 ₂ of the cylinder 16 ₂ or the pin 19 ₂ is engaged with the front end of the groove 18 _{1 .} When it stops, the cylinder 16 ₂ receives the force exerted by the cylinder 16 ₁ due to this relationship, so the cylinder 16 ₂ begins to move backwards.
Then, the cylinder 16 _o-1 comes to be fitted into the cylinder 16 n by similar movements in the following order, and in conjunction with the movement of these cylinders, the hooking part 17 a of the cylinder 16 ₁ The hung bag is also transferred to the rear, and in the state of being transferred to the rearmost part, the cylindrical body 16
Due to the position of the center of gravity of the bag placed on the cylindrical body 16n or the scraping means provided at the rear of the cylindrical body 16n, the bag is ejected and dropped rearward from the cylindrical body _{16n ,} and is placed in the storage chamber 13.
It will fall and be stored.

Then, when the bag is ejected from the cylindrical body 16 ₁ , the motor starts to rotate in the opposite direction, and the shaft 21 starts to rotate in the opposite direction to that in the above case. , the cylinder 16 ₁ moves forward, and the pin 19 ₂ provided on the cylinder 16 ₂ hooks into the rear end of the groove 18 ₁ formed in the outer wall of the cylinder 16 ₁ . When stopped, the cylinder 16 ₂ is also dragged and moved by the movement of the cylinder 16 ₁ due to this latching relationship, and in turn, the cylinder 16 ₃ , . . . cylinder 16
n moves and the telescoping passage 15 extends and returns to the state shown by the solid line in FIG.
a comes down to open the front part of the telescoping passage, and the customer closes the door 12 after confirming that there is nothing in this telescoping passage.

According to the above-mentioned storage device, for example, a bag can be placed in a deep position behind the input port, that is, the position of the door 12.
Even if the door is opened, unauthorized acts such as fishing out the bag stored in the storage chamber 13 from this door part will be impossible, and the security will be extremely high.

Moreover, unlike the conventional method as shown in FIG. 2, for example, if a telescoping passage means is used as a means for discharging from the position of the door 12 to a deep position behind, Since no space is required, the space in the vertical direction can be small, and the size can be substantially reduced accordingly, so that restrictions on the installation location for the storage device of the present invention can be relaxed.

In particular, even in cases where there is not enough room for installation in the vertical direction, the loading depth position in the depth direction can be adjusted appropriately by simply adjusting the number of cylinders, and the storage device is highly safe for stored items. can be provided at low cost.

In addition, for example, since it is possible to confirm later whether or not a bag has been placed in the storage chamber, the door 12 can be closed after confirming that the bag has been placed in the storage chamber, as shown in FIG. Unlike the conventional case where the bag is dropped into the storage compartment due to some accident,
If the next person opens the door and grabs the previous person's bag, there will be no chance of it being stolen, making the door that much safer.

In addition, when the telescoping passage is contracted, the cylinder 16 ₁ on the door 12 side is inside the cylinder 16 ₂ , the cylinder 16 ₂ is inside the cylinder 16 ₃ , etc. Since the body is fitted inside, there is no chance of something getting caught between the cylinders and causing malfunction, and it also has the effect of discharging the bag into the storage compartment. is high, and the reliability of the device is correspondingly high.

Furthermore, even if a fraudulent act is carried out by pasting adhesive tape inside the cylinder of the telescoping passageway to prevent the bag from falling into the storage compartment, the adhesive tape will be cut when the telescoping passageway 15 is contracted. It is stripped away, making it impossible to commit fraud, and making it that much more reliable.

Further, shutter plates 14a and 14b are provided, and when one is in an open state, the other is in a closed state,
Therefore, it is impossible to look into the storage chamber from the door 12, and the reliability of the storage device is increased accordingly.

In addition, the shutter plate 14a provided in the area where a bag is put is opened when the shutter plate 14a is lowered, so even if the shutter plate 14a suddenly lowers, your hands will not be caught, thus preventing personal injury. I've learned not to wake up.

In addition, since the shutter plates 14a and 14b move in the same direction, one operating in the opening direction and the other in the closing direction, the shutter plates 14a and 14b can be operated with one operating mechanism, and the structure is simple. Fewer parts required.

〔effect〕

Since the passageway connecting the storage chamber and the shielding member is made of a telescoping type, it is now possible to throw items deep into the storage room, making it impossible for fraudulent activities such as fishing out items. , safety and reliability are improved accordingly, and there is no need for much space in the vertical direction to put items deep into the storage room, so there are fewer restrictions on the installation location, and there is also a risk of failure. It is difficult.
