The figure is a front view of the rocker 1, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the intermediate plate 130.
FIG. 10 is a plan view of the intermediate plate 130.

There is no partition on the ceiling of the upper storage room 100,
It is continuous with the space 370 behind 00.

The entire middle plate 130 is rotatable by a hinge 131 with respect to the case 2 side, and can take a horizontal position that serves as a partition between the upper and lower storage chambers 100 and 200 and a vertical retracted position along the case 2. Come on. At the vertical retreat position, the upper and lower storage chambers 100 and 200 have no partitions and become one storage chamber. The entire bottom plate 230 of the lower storage chamber 200 does not rotate.

The middle plate 130 is a main body 132 to which the hinge 131 is attached, a luggage stacking detection plate 134 attached to the main body 132 by a spring hinge 133, and an engaging means fixed to the back surface of the luggage stacking detection plate 134. The engaging projection 135, the pushing rod 136 for urging the door 110 in the direction of pushing the door 110 half open, and the like. The push rod 136 is inserted into an L-shaped piece 132a fixed to the back surface of the main body 132 by a pin 136a so as not to come off, and is urged forward by a spring 137 (in a direction in which the door 110 is half opened). Reference numeral 136b is a spring contact piece on the push rod 136 side. The upper end of the main body 132 is bent to form a door receiving portion 132a. Since the door receiving portion 132a is fitted to the upper and lower doors 110 and 210 in a closed state, the middle plate 130 cannot rotate upward. That is, in the horizontal state, the middle plate receiver 138
(See Figure 10). The middle plate 130 has both doors 110,
Only when 210 is opened can it be swung upward and retracted. The push rod 136 is provided such that its tip end 136c penetrates the door receiving portion 132a of the main body 132. The push rod 136 and the engaging projection 135 are
As shown in FIG. 11, the pushing rod 136 is provided so as to be inserted into the opening 135a of the engaging protrusion 135, and the engaging protrusion 1
The opening edge 135b of 35 is the notch 136 of the extruded rod 136.
It can be engaged and disengaged with c. That is, when the door 110 is not locked, the push rod 136 is in a position where the notch 136c has advanced to the position of the engaging projection 135, and holds the door 110 half opened. Then, in a state where no load is placed on the load stack detection plate 134, the load stack detection plate 134 is biased upward by the spring hinge 133, and as a result, the engaging projection 135 is also pulled up. The opening edge portion 135b of the engaging projection 135 is the cut portion of the push rod 136.
Mates with 136c. In this fitted state, even if the door 110 is pushed and closed, the push rod 136 cannot move backward,
Door 110 will not close. On the other hand, when a load is placed on the luggage stack detection plate 134, the stack detection plate 134 is lowered to the same state as the main body 132, and the engagement projection 135 is also lowered, so that the opening edge portion of the engagement projection 135 is lowered. 135b is disengaged from the notch 136c of the push rod 136, and as a result, the push rod 136 becomes free. In this state, the door 110 can be closed against the push rod 136.

The bottom plate 230 of the lower storage chamber 20 is substantially the same as the structure of the middle plate 130 except that the whole bottom plate 230 is not rotatable upward.
A push rod 236 and the like are provided so that the door 210 can be pushed and closed only when a load is placed on the load stack detection plate 234.

The doors 110 and 210 of the upper and lower storage chambers 100 and 200 are automatic lock doors as described above. The lock 120 of the upper automatic lock door 110 is an encryption lock, and can be unlocked by matching the numbers in the encryption matching unit 351 of the operation unit 300 and turning on the unlocking switch 352. That is, the upper lock 120 is, as shown in FIG. 12, a latch 121, a receiving member 123 that is urged by a spring urging means 122 to always be in a horizontal position in the drawing, and a solenoid that can rotate the receiving member 123. Has 124. When the door 110 is closed, the latch 121 advances and the latch 121 is received in the groove 121a.
It fits 123 and is locked automatically. On the other hand, unlocking
By operating the encryption matching unit 351 to match the number to the encryption number, the power is turned on and the unlocking switch 352 is turned on.By pressing the unlocking switch 352 that is turned on, the switch is turned on and the solenoid 124 operates. Receipt 1
23 is rotated and the lock is released. Also, by using a master key (not shown), the latch 121 is rotated and the lock is released.

The lower lock 220 is not an encrypted lock with respect to the upper lock 120, and is not unlocked even if the numbers are adjusted by operating the encryption matching unit 351. The lower lock 220 is structurally configured so that the solenoid 124 is not provided,
The other structure is almost the same as the structure shown in FIG. The lower lock 220 is automatically locked by pressing and closing the door 210, and can be unlocked by using a master key.

The lock 123 of the upper and lower locks 120 and 220 is temporarily locked by the latch 121 when the doors 110 and 210 are automatically locked, as shown in FIG.
After passing through the position of the receiving metal 123 shown by the dotted line, at that time, for example, a magnetic type proximity switch 367 (detection switch) is configured to be turned on for a certain period of time. And proximity switch 36
Since the receipt stamp issuing switch 365 of the receipt stamp issuing machine is lit only while 7 is turned on, the solenoid 361 is pressed by pressing the receipt stamp issuing switch 365 while it is lit.
And the stamp section 363 descends to obtain a receipt stamp.

The encryption lock referred to in this embodiment is the encryption number matching unit 351.
And a numeric switch having an encryption number setting unit 352, and an upper switch 120 mechanism that is unlocked via a solenoid 124 when the numeric switch is turned on due to the coincidence of numbers. Then, the power source for driving the solenoid 124 is turned on only when the numbers on the number switches match. Therefore, a small amount of power will be consumed when the numbers on this number switch match and when the proximity switch 367 is turned on, so a small amount of power will be consumed, and even if a dry battery is used as the power supply, long-term use is secured. To be done.

In addition, the upper and lower doors 110 and 210, the receipt insertion portion 366, and the like can be made of transparent members.

Next, the actual handling will be described.

Now, when a courier or the like delivers the parcel to an absence house and puts it in the locker of the present invention, first open the half-open upper door 110 or lower door 210 to store the parcel in the upper storage room 10.
0 or put in the lower storage room 200. Since it is the same in either storage room, we will put it in the lower storage room 200 this time. Since the door 210 can be pushed and closed when the luggage is loaded, the trader can push and close the door 210. Door 2
When 10 is pressed and closed, the lock is completed and the proximity switch 367 operates, and the receipt stamp issuing switch 365 of the operation unit 300 is operated.
Lights for a certain period of time. Therefore, the trader can obtain the receipt stamp by inserting the receipt sheet into the insertion portion 366 and pressing the receipt stamp issuing switch 365 while the lamp is on. When the luggage is large (tall), both doors 110 and 210 are loaded after the middle plate 130 is flipped upward to make one storage room with both doors 110 and 210 half open.
Close. Proximity switch when the slower door is closed
367 works, and it becomes possible to issue a receipt stamp as well.

Next, a case will be described in which a business operator picks up a cleaning baggage or a home delivery baggage during absence. In this case, the resident will have to collect the baggage for pickup before leaving.
Put in the upper storage room 100 in advance and close the door 110 (automatically locked). Then, the lock 320 of the operation unit 300 is opened with the master key, and the encryption number setting unit 352 sets the encryption number. When the setting is completed, the operation unit 300 is returned to the original position and locked again. Now that the preparation is complete, you can go out by telling the vendor the encryption number over the phone. If you let us know the type of luggage in advance, you will be able to see the luggage inside through the transparent door. First of all, the operator 30
Open the transparent hinged door 340 of 0, and then match the numbers taught in the cipher matching section 351. When the numbers match, the number switch turns on, the power turns on, and the unlock switch 353 lights up.
Therefore, the trader may press the unlock switch 353 that is turned on next. Then, the socket 123 comes off via the solenoid 124, and the door
110 unlocks. Since the unlocked door 110 is half-open, it can be easily opened and the luggage inside can be taken out. The trader may insert a confirmation of receipt or the like into the thin material receiving port 330 of the operation unit 300. Of course, even if the upper door 110 is opened, the middle plate 130 cannot be moved, so even if there is a luggage in the lower storage room 200, the luggage cannot be taken out and safety is ensured. Also, even if the resident once teaches the encryption number to the trader, he / she can freely set the encryption number, so there is no worry.

In this embodiment, the storage chamber has two upper and lower stages, but it may have more stages. In that case, if you make the storage room three stages,
It will be installed in two stages of the middle plate. In any case, if the entire inner plate is flipped up, the entire height of the locker can be used as the storage height.

<Effect> According to the automatic answering machine locker described in the claims for utility model registration, the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and in particular, the middle plate 130
By retreating, the entire length in the height direction inside the case 2 can be utilized to the maximum as a storage space, and storage can be secured even for tall luggage.

Further, by providing the load stack detection plates 134 and 234, the engagement means, and the push rods 136 and 236, the push rod 136, when the load is not placed in the storage chambers 100 and 200, that is, in the empty state. The 236 keeps the auto-lock doors 110 and 210 in a half-open state so that they cannot be closed, so that the auto-lock doors 110 and 210 are surely prevented from closing for some reason, and also in the half-open state. By being held in
The doors 110 and 210 are easy to open, and the cause of prying the door can be eliminated. And when the luggage is placed in the storage room 100, 200, the door
