DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a safe deposit box device equipped with a large number of safe deposit boxes, and particularly to an unmanned safe deposit box device.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, safe deposit boxes installed in banks, etc.
A safe deposit box with limited entry and exit routes is provided, and a large number of safe deposit boxes are arranged within the room based on individual use contracts with customers, and the front door of each safe deposit box is equipped with a bank lock and a customer lock. If a customer wishes to use a safe deposit box, they must inform the bank staff at the reception department, and both the customer and the staff will accompany them to the safe deposit box.
First, the person in charge opens the gate door of the entrance/exit route with the key in his/her possession, enters the room, and then accompanies the customer to the safe deposit box and unlocks the bank lock.After that, he and the customer unlock the customer's lock. This required extremely cumbersome procedures and collaborative work.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional safe deposit boxes have the following problems.

1) Reception takes time and makes customers wait.

2) To unlock the bank lock, a person in charge must accompany the customer to the safe deposit box.

3) It is difficult to grasp the situation inside the safe deposit box.

4) There are the following drawbacks in terms of crime prevention.

b) It is difficult in practice to keep records of usage.

(b) There is a concern that internal communications such as prohibition of handling may result in errors.

c) Even if a customer forgets to close the door and leaves, you won't know.

d) Even if the door or lock is damaged, you won't know.

5) Unable to accommodate extended hours for safe deposit box operations.

6) The larger the safe deposit box facility, the more difficult it is to handle it manually.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems and make safe deposit box operations unmanned.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, a means for solving the above-mentioned problems is to use electric locks for the gate door and the bank lock, and to include a monitoring means for monitoring the customer lock, the locked state, and the broken lock (hereinafter referred to as the "broken lock"). The electric lock is unlocked only when the personal authentication data entered by the customer is valid, and the condition of each lock and the time the customer spends in the safe deposit box are monitored and recorded. It is equipped with a computer device and a central unit as the monitoring means, and also as means for determining whether or not handling is prohibited, and means for performing necessary processing and control.

[Effect]

By electrically controlling the gate door and bank lock, it functions as an alternative to having a person in charge accompany the customer to the safe deposit box, and automatically processes reception work by having the customer input personal authentication data. By monitoring the condition of each lock and the amount of time a customer spends in the safe deposit box, we can improve our understanding of the security situation and ensure safety.
