Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to safe deposit box equipment, and is particularly suitable for modifying existing equipment to save labor. Regarding safe equipment.

[Conventional technology]

When trying to save labor in the conventional safe deposit box business, which requires the bank to witness the opening and closing, in other words, to eliminate the need for the bank to witness the opening and closing, it is necessary to create a safe deposit box that has been rented by many customers and whose contents are unknown. Banks could no longer open their doors without customers' consent, and it was extremely difficult to replace them with new equipment or make major modifications. For this reason, the present applicant has previously filed Japanese Patent Application No. 58-235858 and Japanese Patent Application No. 59-235858.
In No. 94999, Money Lending N proposed a card lock that was attached to the surface of the door to cover the guest lock, and which allowed entry and exit using a card key with a magnetic code written on it, which was given by the bank, and exposed the customer lock. This card lock can be attached to the safe deposit box door without opening the door, and eliminates the need to attend to the opening and closing by managing the entry and exit of customers into the safe deposit box.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional technology attempts to control usage by entering and exiting the safe deposit box, and has the drawback that unlocking and locking of the safe deposit box door cannot be controlled because it does not detect unlocking of the card lock. Therefore, there was a problem in that the bank may not know even if the user leaves the room without locking the card lock.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and problems, and aims to provide a safe deposit box facility that enables control of unlocking and locking of a safe deposit box door and is optimal for saving labor in existing facilities.

[Means for solving problems]

The means for solving the above-mentioned problems of the present invention is to arrange optical sensor devices at both ends of each row, for example, in each vertical column, that is, at the top and bottom, and when a lock, such as a card lock, provided on the door of the safe deposit box is unlocked, The light sensor device is arranged so that the light is blocked, and the control device determines whether the card lock is unlocked or not based on the detection signal from the light sensor device. When the customer leaves the room, the control device confirms that the card lock is locked and closes the exit door. This is safe deposit box equipment configured so that the door can be opened or opened.

Of course, the present invention may be used in conjunction with the conventional art of controlling entry and exit using card locks.

[Function] Since the present invention allows you to unlock the safe deposit box lock (card lock) for each row of safe deposit boxes, you can wait for the next customer to use the safe deposit box so that there is only one customer in each row at the time of reception. get. In this way, when the customer finishes using the safe deposit box and indicates his/her intention to leave the room by inserting the guest lock, if the safe deposit box lock remains unlocked, the control device makes it impossible to open the exit door. to prevent forgetting to lock the door. In addition, as a method to prevent forgetting to lock the door, there is also a method of notifying customers that they have forgotten to lock the door, such as by using a voice guidance warning display. As described above, it is possible to manage the use of the safe deposit box, and it is possible to save labor by eliminating the need for the bank to witness the opening and closing of the safe deposit box.

Since the optical sensor device used for detecting unlocking can be easily added to existing equipment, the present invention is ideal for modifying existing safe deposit boxes to save labor.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to examples and drawings.

FIG. 1 is a layout diagram showing the configuration of main parts of the embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a block configuration diagram showing connection relationships.

Reference numeral 1 denotes individual safe deposit boxes, which are arranged in large numbers in rows and columns. 2 is a door of a safe deposit box, and a card lock 3 is attached to R2. After verifying the identity of the person at the reception desk, the card lock 3 is unlocked by the magnetic force of the magnetic code by inserting the card key 4 which has been magnetized by a card encoder 22 (to be described later) and has a different magnetic code written for each safe deposit box. As shown in 3', the customer lock 5 becomes slidable, and the customer lock 5 is exposed by sliding, and the customer key 5 that the customer brings with him/her is exposed.

There is a middle book 7 below the safety deposit box 1 at the lower end, and in order to detect the unlocking of the card lock 3 for each row, for example, a light emitter 8 is installed on the Kasagi 6, and a second light receiver 9 is installed on the middle book 6. Arrange them in pairs as shown in the figure.

The light emitter 8 and the light receiver 9 constitute the optical sensor mounting surface 10 of the present invention. The positional relationship among the light projector 8, light receiver 9, and card lock 3 is shown in FIG. When all the card locks 3 in that row are in the locked state shown by solid lines, the light 8a from the emitter 8 is detected by the light receiver 9, and when any of the card locks 3 slides to the unlocked state shown by the dotted line, the light is blocked. The light receiver 9 is arranged so that the light is not received. Therefore, the detection signal from the light receiver 9 indicates that all the card locks in that row are locked when light reception is detected, and indicates that any card lock is unlocked when light interruption is detected. This detection signal is input to the sub-computer (hereinafter referred to as sub-CPU) 12a of the center unit 11 via a communication line such as R3232C via the input/output interface 10a of the optical sensor device IO, and is similarly inputted to the center computer (hereinafter referred to as center CPLI) 13. The information is input and used for determining whether to unlock the card lock 3 when the customer leaves the room.

There is an electric lattice door 14 as the exit door, and the guest can use the guest key 5.
A is sent to the exit card reader 15 to display the exit message, and then the card key 4 is inserted into the exit card reader 15 and the door is opened when permission is given by the center CPU 13. The exit card reader 15 is connected to the sub CPU 12b, controls the reading of the card key 4, and inputs the read information and insertion information of the guest key 5a to the center CPU 13 via the sub CPU 12b. The center CPU 13 confirms that the card lock 3 is locked when the above-mentioned judgment 5a is inserted, and further checks whether the information read on the card key 4 is that of the user, and if it is valid (OK), outputs the door opening. A permission signal is sent to the electric lattice door 14 via the sub CPU 12b.

．． The sub CPU 12a constitutes a control device of the present invention. Note that this control device may be constituted by one center CPU that incorporates the functions of the sub-CPUs 12a and 12b, or may also serve as another device such as a reception device as will be described later. The exit door may not be an electric lattice door, but may be opened by unlocking an electric lock and locked by closing the door. Further, the exit door may also serve as the entrance door, or the object of the present invention can be achieved even if it is installed at the entrance/exit of the front room. Furthermore, the leaving card reader 15 can be added with a function of demagnetizing and storing the card key 4 when the guest leaves the room.

FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of a reception device that also serves as a control device of the present invention. Reference numeral 14 denotes an entrance door that also serves as an exit door, and is the aforementioned electric lattice door. Reference numeral 16 denotes an entry card reader installed outside the safe deposit box, which is used by a customer to insert the card key 4 and open the electric lattice door 14 when entering the safe deposit box. A center CPU 13 is arranged near the reception counter 17, and as shown in FIG. 4, a CRT display 18, a keyboard 19, a printer 20, a floppy disk 21, and sub CPUs 12a and 12b are connected to the center CPU 13. Further, a card encoder 22 is connected to the sub CPTJ 12b. The following two devices are combined into a center unit 11.

Do this. The customer ``receives the card key (4)'' and then ``inserts the card key (4) into the entry card reader (16)''. The room entry input r reader 16 reads the magnetic code of the card key 4 and inputs the read information to the center CP LJ 1°3. The center CPU 3 performs a "card key check" based on the read information to see if it is the card key registered for use, and if it is valid (OK), it checks the "open the electric lattice door (14) or enter the room" via the entry card reader 16. Perform electric lock unlocking. If the above "card check" is not valid (NG), a "warning" is output to the bank. Valid customers can “enter” and use their own safe deposit box 1.
In order to use the card, first unlock the card lock (3) using the card key (4). As a result, the card lock 3 can be slid, and when it is slid, the customer key 5 is exposed.
The customer ``unlocks the customer key (5) according to the hearing (5a)'' and then ``uses the safe deposit box (1).'' When the customer is finished using the safe deposit box, the customer unlocks the customer key (5) and card lock (3). Lock the door. During this time, the light receiver 9 of the corresponding safe deposit box row detects that the card lock 3 is unlocked and then locked, which is input to the center CPU 13 and used for usage records, etc. The guest indicates his/her intention to leave the room by "inserting the check (5a) into the exit card reader (15)" and rotating it.When the input is input to the center CPUI 3, the center CPLJ13 activates the optical sensor device l.

If O), "alert" the guest via the exit card reader 15 with voice guidance or a warning display using an announcement component (not shown). The above judgment is affirmative (YE
S), and when the card key (4) is inserted into the exit card reader (15), a card key check is performed by the center CPU in the same way as when entering the room, and if it is valid (OK), the card key (4) is inserted into the exit card reader (15). Under the condition that the hearing (5a) is removed (to prevent forgetting the hearing), the electric lattice door (14) is opened or the electric lock is unlocked, and the guest leaves the room, and at the same time the exit card reader 15 is activated. ``Erasing (demagnetizing) and storing the card key (4) in more than 10 steps makes it possible to manage the actual locking and unlocking of the safe deposit box, saving the labor of attending the bank and using the safe deposit box. This is a suitable safe deposit box facility when

Although a card lock is used in this embodiment, the lock is not limited to a card lock as long as the unlocking can be detected by an optical sensor device. The purpose of the present invention can be fully achieved even if the check of the card key is omitted to ensure the safety of use. Further, the expression of the guest's intention to leave the room is not limited to this embodiment.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention makes it possible to manage the locking and unlocking of the safe deposit box door, and is suitable for modifying existing equipment, so it is useful when saving labor in old equipment that has not yet been labor-saving. It is the most suitable one.
