In the safe room 2 surrounded by (only a part of which is shown), a storage box automatic take-out and storage unit 3 is installed. This storage unit 3 includes two storage shelves 4, 4 facing each other, and these storage shelves 4, 4.
It has a conveyor table 5 that moves between the two. The storage shelf 4 has a large number of storage locations 6 arranged in a matrix. Then, the article gripping means 7 of the conveyance table 5 transfers the storage box (not shown in FIG. 1) between the conveyance table 5 and the storage place 6 or the take-out/return table 8. The storage box now taken out from the storage space 6 is further carried by an internal conveyor 9 to an entrance 11 opened and closed by a safe door (not shown) in the wall 1, and delivered to an external conveyor 12. Needless to say, when storing the storage box, the opposite route is taken. In this way, the storage box is automatically taken out from the storage location 6 and stored in the storage location. Furthermore, the conveyor table 5,
It goes without saying that a control circuit (not shown) for controlling the drive of the article gripping means 7, the internal conveyor 9, the external conveyor, and the door of the entrance/exit 11 is provided.

Further, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, lock levers 13 are assembled at the rear of the storage shelf 4 in one-to-one correspondence with each row of a large number of storage locations 6 arranged in a matrix. The lock lever 13 is elongated to accommodate all the storage locations 6 in the corresponding row of storage locations, and is also slightly movable in its longitudinal direction. Such a lock lever 13 is provided with an engaging portion 14 at a portion corresponding to each storage location. The engaging part 14 is bent into a hook shape, and is caught on the engaging part 16 on the rear surface of the storage box 15 to prevent the drawer from being pulled out. When the lock lever 14 is moved upward, the catching is released. It comes off and allows the storage box 15 to be pulled out. By making the engaging portion 16 of the storage box 15 have the same structure as the handle 17 on the opposite side, it is possible to ignore the front and back of the storage box 15.

A horizontally movable lock control member 18 is provided at the bottom of the storage shelf 4. This lock control member 18 extends across each row of storage locations, and is provided with cam surfaces 19 at positions corresponding one-to-one to each row of storage locations. The tip of a cam follower 21 provided at the lower end of the lock lever 14 is in contact with these cam surfaces 19. The cam surface 19 pushes up the lock lever 14 when the lock control member 18 is moved to one side, and allows the lock lever 14 to lower when the lock control member 18 is moved to the opposite side. Although the lock lever 14 may be lowered by its own weight, it is also preferable to further add a spring member 22 to forcibly urge the lock lever 14 downward.

A geared motor 23 for moving the lock control member 18 is provided corresponding to one end of the lock control member 18. Geared motor 23
As shown in FIG. 4, the crank pin 25 engaged with the elongated hole 24 formed at one end of the lock control member 18 is driven, thereby causing the lock control member 18 to reciprocate. It is preferable that the lock control member 18 is provided with wheels 26 for smooth movement thereof, or that the cam follower 21 is provided with a roller 27 at its tip.

Returning to FIGS. 2 and 3, the slots 2 of the plates 28 fixed to the lower portions of the respective lock levers

slidingly fit the pin 32 at the rotating end of the
One end of a manual lock release bar 33 is connected to this pin 32. The other end of the lock release bar 33 is located near the front of the storage shelf 4. In front of the lock release bar 33 is an inspection door 3 with a locking device.
4. Now, when the inspection door 34 is opened and the lock release bar 33 is pulled forward, the plate 28 is pushed upward by the movement of the pin 32 in accordance with the rotation of the arm 31, and as a result, the lock lever 14 is pushed up. That is, the arm 31, the pin 32, and the plate 2
The combination of 8 acts as a transmission mechanism for transmitting the operating force applied to the lock release bar 33 to the lock lever 14. Thus, the storage box 15 can also be manually unlocked by unlocking the inspection door 34.

Now, in normal operation, when the carrier 5 stops at the desired storage location 6, the geared motor 23
Start. When the crank pin 25 revolves 180 degrees, the cam surface 19 pushes up the lock lever 14 to the uppermost end, and the engagement with the storage box 15 is completely released. It is detected and the drive of the geared motor 23 is stopped. Then, the geared motor 23 is restarted when the storage box 15 is stored in or removed from the storage location 6. At this time as well, the angular position at which the crank pin 25 has revolved 180° is detected by a limit switch or the like, and the drive of the geared motor 23 is stopped. The lock lever 14 is thus lowered and the storage box 15 is locked again.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above using the embodiments, according to the present invention, since the storage box 15 is normally locked while being stored in the storage location 6, the storage box 15 is removed from the storage shelf 4 due to an earthquake. It will no longer fly out. In addition, the lock on the storage box 15 can also be released manually, so special removal and maintenance can be carried out under the control of the person in charge.
It's convenient.

Further, according to the present invention, the lock control member is always reciprocated by a motor, and the lock release bar 33 is positioned inside the inspection door 43 for inspecting the motor, so that motor inspection and manual operation can be performed. Unlocking can be done at the same location.
