Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to private locker rooms that are installed in stations, airports, wedding halls, gymnasiums, etc. and are used for changing clothes, touching up makeup, getting hair styled, etc. We proposed a novel paid locker room that can automatically control all operations from locking to locking after use.

That is, the present invention automatically unlocks the room when a certain number of coins are inserted into the coin slot and allows entry, and automatically locks the room when the door is closed after entering the room, and the usage time is set by a timer. When the set time is reached, a buzzer or other alarm will be activated to alert you and the door will be automatically unlocked, and when you go outside and close the door, it will be automatically locked again. This is what I did.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to an illustrated embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, this paid locker room has a door 2 that allows the entrance and exit of a room box 1 to be opened and closed. .

The door 2 can be locked with a known lock (not shown), and the lock can be automatically locked and unlocked as described later.
It can also be unlocked manually (by operating a knob 3 on the inside of the door 2).

A coin insertion lip is provided on the outside front of the room box 1, and other necessary items such as a lamp 5, a mirror 6, and other items (3) are installed inside the room box 1.

Furthermore, inside the room box 1, as shown in FIG. 2, a system control circuit 7, a signal sequence determination circuit 8,

7. It is equipped with a coin slot control circuit 28, a coin slot opening/closing solenoid 29, a circuit pulse forming circuit 30, and a usage count hand 31, which are connected in a connection relationship (4) as shown in the figure.

The switches 9, 11, and 15 are turned on and off by locking/unlocking, opening/closing a door, and inserting and passing a coin, respectively, as is conventionally known.

Further, the solenoids 21 and 29 automatically lock/unlock or open/close the coin slot 4 as well known in the art as they are energized and deenergized.

The locking/unlocking detection circuit 10 outputs a locking signal or an unlocking signal as the microswitch 90 turns on or off.
These signals are input to the signal sequential determination circuit 8 through respective signal lines.

The door opening/closing detection circuit 12 generates a door open signal as the reed switch 11 turns on or off, or the door closing coin count pulse forming circuit 16 generates a door closing signal each time the switch 15 is turned on, that is, each time a coin is inserted into the coin insertion lip. A pulse is generated, and a counter 17 counts the pulses.

This counter 1'2 has a switch 18 for setting the number of coins.
The device counts pulses by the number set in , and generates an output when the counted value is reached, and by the switch 18,
The number of coins required for one use of this paid locker room can be arbitrarily set.

The timer 19 operates for the time set by the usage time setting switch 20 and produces an output when the operation ends.The timer 19 can arbitrarily set the time limit for one use of this paid locker room. It looks like this.

The output of one counter and the output of timer 19 are also input to signal sequential determination circuit 8 .

This judgment circuit 8 determines whether the signal from the locking/unlocking detection circuit 10 is locked or unlocked, whether the signal from the door opening/closing detection circuit 12 is open or closed, and whether the output from the counter 7 is determined. It is determined in a fixed order whether or not there is an output from the timer 9, and the order is determined by the system control circuit.

This system control circuit has nine output terminals of 'N'j and Q'''Qs, and the outputs from these nine output terminals send judgment commands to the signal sequential judgment circuit 8 via respective signal lines. The signals are sequentially input as signals, and the judgment circuit 8 is controlled by the judgment command signal as to what judgment to make.

That is, a judgment command signal is output from a certain output terminal of the system control circuit, a judgment regarding the judgment command signal is made in the signal sequential judgment circuit 8, and the output of the judgment circuit 8 is input to the system control circuit F. Then, the circuit shifts to produce multiple outputs from the next output terminal.

Nine output terminals 1111. -Q, Q out of 8. is connected to the timer 19 and the coin slot control circuit 28, Q and Q3 are connected to the lock/unlock control circuit 26, and Q and Q are connected to the buzzer control circuit 21.
, Q4 is connected to the tape recorder control circuit 23, Q5 is connected to the buzzer control circuit 21, the lock/unlock control circuit 26, and the timer 9.
In addition, Q6 is connected to the buzzer control circuit 21 and timer 9, and Q is connected to the lamp control circuit 25, locking/unlocking control circuit 26, and timer 9, respectively, so that the above-mentioned circuits are controlled.

In this example, the main role of these nine output terminals is Q

Q6 detects door opening/closing, Q is locked, and Q8 is Q. It is ψ for returning to .

A specific example of the circuit of the part surrounded by the chain line in Figure 2 is shown in Figure 3.
The flow of the overall operation is shown in Fig. 4.5.

Therefore, the overall operation will be explained below with reference to these figures 3, 3 and 5.

First, when the power switch 1r5 is turned on (100 in FIG. 1), the system control circuit produces multiple outputs from the output terminal Q, which enter the AND gate 500 in the signal sequence determination circuit 8. The door close signal RO from the door open/close detection circuit 10 is input to this computer game) 506, and when the door open/close detection circuit 10 enters or has already entered, the signal sequentially detects the pulse in the judgment image %8. The pulse from the generation circuit 51 is outputted and inputted to the counter 52 in the judgment circuit 8, and the system control circuit 0 counted thereby is shifted by the output of the counter 52. , shift from Q6 to Q, 0. Therefore, when the power switch 13 is turned on, it is first determined whether the door 2 is open or closed (FIG. 4, 101), and when it is closed, the process proceeds to the next step.

Here, when the door 2 is open, the output of Q6 enters the OR 53 in the buzzer control circuit 21, causing the buzzer 22 to
is activated (Fig. 4 102).

When Q6 is advanced to Q, the output of Q enters the NOR 54 in the lock/unlock control circuit 26 and operates the flip-flop 55 in the control circuit 26 as well. The lock/unlock solenoid 27 is energized and deenergized by pulses of the flip-flop 55 at regular intervals.

Although not shown in FIG. 3, the output of QW is also input to the lamp control circuit 25 (FIG. 2), and the lamp 5 is turned off.

On the other hand, the output of %Q is also input to the AND gate 50d in the signal sequential determination circuit 8;
When the locking/unlocking detection circuit 1o and the locking signal MO are input to d, the pulse generation circuit 51 outputs a pulse in the same manner as above, and the shift controller/L'circuit'/HAQ is shifted to YoshiQ8. do.

When outputting Q and 7, lock the lock (Fig. 4, 10).
3) At the same time, the locking is confirmed (104 in the same figure) and the lamp 6 is turned off (105 in the same figure).

The system control circuit 7 advances to Q immediately by its output. go to

When the output goes to Qo, the output enters the AND gate 56 in the coin slot control circuit 28, so that the coin slot opening/closing solenoid 29 is energized or deenergized, and the coin slot 4 is opened (the fourth Figure 106). The output of Q is also input to an AND gate 50 in the signal sequential determination circuit 8.

As a result, the paid locker room is placed in a standby state with the door 2 closed and locked and the coin slot 4 open.

When a coin is inserted into the coin slot 4 in this state, it is detected by the coin slot detection switch 1δ (FIG. 4, 107), and the number of coins inserted is detected by the counter 17.
It is counted by That is, it is determined whether or not the number N of coins set by the coin number setting switch 18 has been inserted (108 in the same figure).

When the count value of the counter 17 and the set value of the switch 18 match, an output (coincidence signal) is generated from the OR 57, and this output causes the flip-flop 5 in the tape recorder control circuit 23 to When the clock is activated, the tape recorder 24 is driven and recorded audio is played thereon, and at the same time, the output of the OR 57 activates the flip-flop 59 in the usage pulse forming circuit 30. The usage counter 31 adds up.

Further, the output of the OR 5') is also input to the lamp control circuit 25 (FIG. 2), although not shown in FIG. 3, and the lamp 5 is turned on.

Furthermore, since the output of the OR 57 is also input to the AND gate 50 in the signal sequential determination circuit 8, the system control circuit 7 receives the Q signal. Shift to yohQ□.

As a result, the output of is inverted, and the timer 9 is activated by the inverted signal, and the coin slot control circuit 28 is reversed to immediately close the coin slot 4.

Therefore, when the number of coins set with the switch 18 is inserted, the timer starts (109 in Figure 4), the tape recorder starts (110 in the same figure), and the lamp lights up (111 in the same figure).
), closing the coin slot ((13) in Figure 112), and calculating the number of uses (113 in Figure 11).

When shifting from Q to QE as described above, the output of Q is the output of the lock/unlock control circuit 26.

60, the flip-flop 55 is activated and the locking/unlocking solenoid 2f is energized/deenergized as described above.

The output of Q is sent to the ant gate 50 in the signal sequential determination circuit 8.
When the lock/unlock detection circuit 10 inputs the unlock signal MO to the AND gate 50□, the shift control circuit 7 shifts from Q to Q.

Therefore, when QU is output, the lock is unlocked (Fig. 4, 114).
At the same time, its confirmation (115 in the same figure) is performed.

This will automatically unlock the paid locker room and allow you to enter.

The output of Q2 is input to the AND gate C14)-G50 in the signal sequential judgment circuit 8, and when the door opening/closing detection circuit 12 and the door bone closing signal RO are input manually to this AND gate 5222, the system control circuit 1 Q.

However, when there is no signal RO in the door part 2, that is, when the door 2 is left open, the output of Q is input to the OR 61 in the buzzer control circuit 21. Okay, buzzer 22 is activated.

When outputting sub-vc, Q, 2, it is determined whether the door 2 is open or closed (Fig. 4, 116), and if it remains open, the buzzer 22 is activated (, Fig. 11y) to close it. urge,
When the door 2 is closed, the buzzer 22 stops and the process advances to Q3.

The output of Q is the output from the above Noah 5 in the locking/unlocking control circuit 26.
When the lock signal MO3 is input to the AND gate 503 from the locking/unlocking detection circuit 12, the system control circuit flange Q3 shifts to Q4. do.

Therefore, when you enter this paid locker room and close the door 2, it is automatically locked (118 in Figure 4) and the output of OQ4, which is checked (119 in Figure 4), is sent to the signal sequential judgment circuit 8. is input to the AND gate 50 of In this state, when the timer 9 reaches the set time, that is, when the set number of coins is inserted, the usage time setting switch 20
After the time determined by , a multiple output (coincidence signal) from the OR 62 is generated. Therefore, at this point, the output of the timer 9 is detected (120 in FIG. 5), and it is determined whether or not a large number of outputs have been made (121 in the same figure).

The output of the OR 62 is input to the NOR 63 in the tape recorder control circuit 23, thereby producing multiple outputs from the AND gate 64 in the control circuit 23, and the flip-flop 6
The date is activated and the tape recorder 24 is stopped.

-Also, the output of the OR 62 is also input to the AND gate 65 in the signal sequential determination circuit 8, so the shift control circuit is similar to Q4. 6. The output of Q5, which outputs 0/7, is input to the OR 61 in the buzzer control circuit 21 as described above, so the buzzer 22 is activated.

In addition, the output of Q is input to an AND gate 66 in the locking/unlocking control circuit 26 and an AND gate 50 in the signal sequential determination circuit 8. When the lock signal MO3 is input, the shift control circuit 1 shifts from Q to #)Q.

6. Therefore, when the set usage limit time has elapsed, the tape recorder 24 stops (Fig. 5, 122), the buzzer 22 is activated (Fig. 5, 123), and this is notified (1). Lock (124 in the same figure)
), and the unlocking is confirmed (125 in the same figure).

The output of Q6 is sent to the AND gate 50 in the signal sequential determination circuit 8.
When the door opening/closing detection circuit 12 and the door closing signal RO are input to the AND gate 506 (Fig. 5, 12
6), System controller “Circuit 7 haQ, 6z p
Q: Shifting towards the door? If it remains open, the buzzer 22 is activated (127 in the same figure) as described above.

Since the output of Q is input to the lamp control circuit 25 (FIG. 2) as described above, when the door 2 is closed, the lamp 5 is turned off (FIG. 5 128).

The output of %Q7 is input to the NOR 54 in the locking/unlocking control circuit 26 as described above, and is also input to the AND gate 50 in the signal sequential determination circuit 8. (1 day) is also input, and when the lock signal MO from the lock/unlock detection circuit 10 is input to this AND gate 50, the system control circuit shifts from Q to Q8, and then from Q to Q. ,,,Return.

Therefore, when you exit the paid locker room and close the door 2, it is automatically locked (129 in Figure 5) and confirmed (150 in Figure 5), and the coin insertion lip is opened (150 in Figure 5) as described above. 106) in FIG. 4, and returns to the above-mentioned standby state.

By the way, manually unlock (knob 3) before the usage limit time elapses.
When the door 2 is opened (FIG. 5, 131), the following happens.

That is, before the usage limit time elapses, the OR 62 does not output a coincidence signal, and the system control circuit 7 generates more outputs than Q4, and the outputs are input to the AND gate 50a in the signal sequential determination circuit 8. This AND gate 50a is equipped with a locking/unlocking detection circuit 1.
When the unlock signal MO2 from 0 is input, multiple outputs are generated from the AND gate 6 in the signal sequential judgment circuit 8, so that the system control circuit shifts from Q4 to Q5, and the output of Q5 becomes Noah 6. The timer 19 is stopped by the input. Therefore, in this case, or62
No match signal is output.

The output of Q5 is an ant game in the signal sequential judgment circuit 8) 5
01), and when the door opening signal RO from the door opening/closing detection circuit 12 is input to this AND gate 50b, the system control circuit is shifted from Q5 to Q6.

Therefore, if the lock is unlocked midway through, the timer 9 will stop when this is determined (132 in Figure 5).
), then when it is determined that the door 2 has been opened (134 in the same figure), when the power switch 13 is turned on (134 in Figure 4)
When the door 2 is closed (101 in the same figure), the lamp 5 is turned off (105 in the same figure).
) and is automatically locked (103 in the same figure) to return to the above-mentioned standby state.

In the above embodiment, the buzzer 22 is used to notify the user, but it is also possible to use something other than the buzzer.

As is clear from the above, in the paid locker room of the present invention, when a certain number of coins are inserted into the coin slot, the lock is automatically unlocked and the room can be entered, and when the door is closed after entering the room, the locker room is automatically unlocked. When the time limit for use is reached, a buzzer or other alarm will be activated to report this and the door will be automatically unlocked, and when you go outside and close the door, it will be automatically locked again. This is innovative for a paid locker room.
