[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is installed at a common entrance of apartments, condominiums, and other collective housing, and at lobby entrances of hospitals, hotels, pensions, resort condominiums, golf / country clubs, etc. The present invention relates to an automatic management locker device for temporarily storing and handing over luggage. In particular, the present invention relates to an automatic luggage management locker device suitable for storing long objects such as skis, bows, fishing rods, rifles, and golf clubs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional automatic luggage management locker device
It has multiple storage boxes, and by temporarily storing a large number of delivered items, one by one, in separate and independent storage boxes, it is possible to ensure that it is suitable for residents of apartment houses, guests such as hotels, and others. We have made sure that it can be delivered and that privacy is maintained. But,
There are various sizes of delivered luggage, but if you only prepare an extra large size storage box that can accommodate the expected maximum size of delivered luggage, the most standard size delivered luggage and One small delivery bag will be stored in each extra large size storage box, and there will be almost a gap in the storage box, which will increase the equipment price and installation work costs more than necessary and also make it easy to install. The required area is also widely occupied, making it extremely uneconomical. Therefore, there are several types of sizes for packages delivered during the period of temporary storage in the storage box (the time from when a package is delivered by a package delivery person until it is taken out by a resident or a customer). Considering the average number of luggage by size classification, each number of small size, standard size (for travel bags etc.), extra large size (for skis etc.) storage boxes, near the entrance hall or in the lobby entrance It is located nearby.

[0003]

However, the shape of the inside of the conventional extra large-sized storage box is literally a box shape or a rectangular parallelepiped like the storage boxes of other sizes, and the dimensions are different in height. Only the width and depth are the same as other size storage boxes. for that reason,
The first problem is that when only long and narrow luggage such as skis is temporarily stored in an extra-large size storage box, there is too much room for the width and depth of the storage box, and there is a need for equipment costs, installation costs, and installation area. That is why it is inefficient. The second problem is that if a large number of extra large storage boxes are installed considering only ski storage, the extra large storage boxes can be used efficiently during the winter season, which is the ski season. Even if you think about it, the operating rate is low at other times, and the utilization efficiency of equipment cost, installation cost, and installation area is extremely poor.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to reduce the storage area of an extra large size storage box and to economically utilize the equipment cost, installation work cost, and installation area.

[0005]

The above-mentioned problems are caused by the inside of a storage box provided with a door to which an electric lock is attached, that is, an automatic luggage management locker apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention. A rotary shaft that extends vertically in the center of the center and is rotatably provided, a bottom disc fixed below the rotation shaft, and a radial extension from the rotation shaft that is fixed to the rotation shaft and bottom disc to accommodate multiple storage Luggage that includes a partition plate that divides into compartments, a sensor that is provided in each compartment to detect the presence of luggage, an electric motor that drives a rotating shaft, and a shaft encoder that detects the rotational position of the rotating shaft. Etc. is solved by automatic management locker device.
