Thus, although it is a convenient bicycle as a moving means, there has been a conventional aspect that it is easily stolen. Therefore, it is installed on the front fork and locked to lock the front wheel by means of a pin, and it is installed on the seat stay and locked to prevent the rear wheel from rotating. Regulating ring locks (or horseshoe locks) have been used to prevent theft. In recent years, in order to increase convenience for bicycle users, a lock as disclosed in Patent Document 1 has also appeared.
　すなわち、特許文献１記載の自転車用遠隔操作錠は、赤外線送信機２７からの識別コードを含む信号を、錠本体１の受信手段５により受信する。そして、比較制御手段６により、この信号の識別コードが錠本体１の識別コードと一致する場合に、解錠制御信号を発し、解錠手段３に錠２の解錠動作を行わせ、錠２を解錠する。このように、リモコン等による遠隔操作により、簡易に解錠を行うことができる。 That is, the bicycle remote control lock described in Patent Document 1 receives the signal including the identification code from the infrared transmitter 27 by the receiving means 5 of the lock body 1. Then, when the identification code of this signal matches the identification code of the lock body 1, the comparison control means 6 issues an unlock control signal to cause the unlocking means 3 to perform the unlocking operation of the lock 2. To unlock. In this way, unlocking can be easily performed by remote control using a remote controller or the like.
　しかしながら、従来の自転車の錠は、自転車の止められている位置を知らせる機能を有していなかった。そのため、駐輪スペース等、多数の自転車が止めてある場所では、どこに自分の自転車を止めたか探すのに時間がかかるという問題があった。また、同様の規格の自転車が自分の自転車の周囲に止めてある場合は、どちらが自分の自転車か見分けがつきにくいという問題もあった。これらの問題は、特に夜間や薄暗い場所で発生しやすかった。 However, conventional bicycle locks do not have a function of notifying the position where the bicycle is stopped. Therefore, in places where a large number of bicycles are stopped, such as bicycle parking spaces, there is a problem that it takes time to find where to stop the bicycle. In addition, when a bicycle of the same standard is stopped around the bicycle, there is a problem that it is difficult to distinguish which is the bicycle. These problems were particularly likely to occur at night and in dim places.
　さらに、従来の自転車用の遠隔操作錠では、持ち主が自分の自転車を見つけたか否かに関係なく、リモコンのスイッチさえ押されれば解錠動作が行われる。そのため、持ち主が自分の自転車を見つける前にリモコンのスイッチを押してしまった場合、錠が解錠された状態になり、防犯上問題があった。 Furthermore, with a conventional remote control lock for a bicycle, the unlocking operation is performed as long as the remote control switch is pressed, regardless of whether the owner has found his / her bicycle. Therefore, if the owner presses the switch on the remote control before finding his / her bicycle, the lock is unlocked, which causes a problem in crime prevention.

　本発明の第１実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠１００は、かんぬきケース部１０１と制御系収容部１０５とからなる錠ケースと、自転車Ｂの車輪の回転を規制する錠機構１１０と、錠機構１１０の解錠動作を行う解錠手段１２０と、錠機構１１０の解錠動作を手動で行うためのキーシリンダ式解錠機構１２５と、光を発する発光部１３０と、リモコン装置Ｒから送信される識別コードを含む信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４を受信する受信部１４０と、リモコン装置Ｒに受信報告信号Ｉを送信する送信部１５０と、受信した信号Ｓ１～Ｓ３に含まれる識別コードと予め記憶してある識別コードとが一致するかを判別する判別部１６０と、判別部１６０が受信した信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４に含まれる識別コードと予め記憶してある識別コードが一致すると判断した場合に、送信部１５０と発光部１３０と解錠手段１２０とを制御する制御部１７０と、各部に電気を供給する電源１８０と、電池の残量を示す電池残量ゲージ１８１と、を有する。 The bicycle remote control lock 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a lock case including a yoke case portion 101 and a control system housing portion 105, a lock mechanism 110 that restricts rotation of the wheel of the bicycle B, and a lock mechanism. 110, the unlocking means 120 for performing the unlocking operation 110, the key cylinder type unlocking mechanism 125 for manually performing the unlocking operation of the locking mechanism 110, the light emitting unit 130 for emitting light, and the remote control device R. Reception unit 140 that receives signals S1 to S4 including an identification code, transmission unit 150 that transmits reception report signal I to remote control device R, and identification codes that are stored in advance as identification codes included in received signals S1 to S3 A determination unit 160 for determining whether or not the codes match, and a case where it is determined that the identification codes included in the signals S1 to S4 received by the determination unit 160 match the identification codes stored in advance. , A control unit 170 for controlling the light emitting portion 130 and the unlocking means 120 and the transmitting unit 150, a power supply 180 for supplying electricity to each part, the battery fuel gauge 181 indicating the battery level, the.
　かんぬきケース部１０１は、かんぬき１１１を収容する部分であり、下端に対向する開口部１０２、１０３を有する筒状の形状をしている。また、制御系収容部１０５は、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００の制御系の各部材を収容する部分である。かんぬきケース部１０１と制御系収容部１０５は、それぞれ内部が空洞となっており、この空洞は内部でつながっている。 The canopy case 101 is a portion that accommodates the canopy 111 and has a cylindrical shape having openings 102 and 103 facing the lower end. The control system accommodating portion 105 is a portion that accommodates each member of the control system of the bicycle remote control lock 100. The inner case portion 101 and the control system accommodating portion 105 are hollow inside, and the hollows are connected inside.
　錠機構１１０は、自転車Ｂの車輪の回転を規制するものである。錠機構１１０は、かんぬき１１１と、施錠レバー１１２と、ロックレバー１１３とを備え、かんぬきケース部１０１と制御系収容部１０５とにわたって設置されている。かんぬき１１１は、自転車Ｂの車輪のスポークに当接する部分である。かんぬき１１１は、円弧状の形状をしており、開口部１０２から一端部を出し入れできるようになっている。そして、その一端部を開口部１０２から出して、開口部１０３に入れることで、自転車Ｂの車輪のスポークに当接し、当該車輪の回転を規制する。また、施錠レバー１０２は、図示しないバネによりかんぬきケース１０１の右下端部側に向かって引っ張られているかんぬき１１１を施錠位置まで移動させるためのものである。すなわち、施錠レバー１０２は、かんぬき１１１に設置され、かんぬきケース１０１に設けられた施錠レバー溝１０４内を移動し、かんぬき１１１を施錠位置まで移動する。ロックレバー１１３は、かんぬき１１１を施錠位置に固定するものであり、施錠時に先端部１１３（ａ）を、かんぬき１１１に設けられた切り欠き１１１（ａ）に係合させて、かんぬき１１１を図１に示す施錠位置に固定する。 The locking mechanism 110 regulates the rotation of the wheel of the bicycle B. The locking mechanism 110 includes a yoke 111, a locking lever 112, and a lock lever 113, and is installed across the yoke case unit 101 and the control system housing unit 105. The yoke 111 is a portion that comes into contact with the spokes of the wheel of the bicycle B. The yoke 111 has a circular arc shape, and one end can be taken in and out from the opening 102. And the one end part is taken out from the opening part 102, is put in the opening part 103, is contact | abutted to the spoke of the wheel of the bicycle B, and controls rotation of the said wheel. Further, the locking lever 102 is for moving the yoke 111, which is pulled toward the right lower end of the yoke case 101 by a spring (not shown), to the locked position. That is, the locking lever 102 is installed in the yoke 111, moves in the locking lever groove 104 provided in the yoke case 101, and moves the yoke 111 to the locking position. The lock lever 113 is used to fix the yoke 111 in the locking position. When locking, the distal end portion 113 (a) is engaged with the notch 111 (a) provided on the yoke 111 so that the yoke 111 is shown in FIG. Secure to the locking position shown in.
　解錠手段１２０は、錠機構の解錠動作を行うものであり、例えば、アクチュエータを備える。解錠手段１２０（アクチュエータ）は、解錠時に、ロックレバー１１３の端部１１３（ｂ）を引き上げて、ロックレバー１１３全体を、回転軸１１４を中心に回転（図１では時計回り）させる。これにより、先端部１１３（ａ）と切り欠き１１１（ａ）との係合を解除する。 The unlocking means 120 performs an unlocking operation of the locking mechanism, and includes, for example, an actuator. At the time of unlocking, the unlocking means 120 (actuator) pulls up the end 113 (b) of the lock lever 113 and rotates the entire lock lever 113 around the rotation shaft 114 (clockwise in FIG. 1). Thereby, engagement with the front-end | tip part 113 (a) and the notch 111 (a) is cancelled | released.
　キーシリンダ式解錠機構１２５は、故障や電池切れ等で制御系に電気が供給されず、解錠手段１２０を用いて錠機構１１０の解錠動作を行えない際に、手動で錠機構１１０の解錠動作を行うものである。このキーシリンダ式解錠機構１２５は、図示しないキー挿入孔にリモコン装置ＲのキーＫを挿入して回転させることで、周知の技術により、ロックレバー１１３の端部１１３（ｃ）を上側に（解錠手段１２０側に）移動させて、ロックレバー１１３全体を、回転軸１１４を中心に時計回りに回転させ、先端部１１３（ａ）と切り欠き１１１（ａ）との係合を解除する。 When the key cylinder type unlocking mechanism 125 is not supplied with electricity to the control system due to a failure or battery exhaustion and the unlocking means 120 cannot be used to perform the unlocking operation, the key cylinder type unlocking mechanism 125 is manually operated. The unlocking operation is performed. This key cylinder type unlocking mechanism 125 inserts the key K of the remote control device R into a key insertion hole (not shown) and rotates it so that the end portion 113 (c) of the lock lever 113 is moved upward ( The lock lever 113 is rotated clockwise around the rotation shaft 114 to release the engagement between the tip 113 (a) and the notch 111 (a).
　発光部１３０は、光を発する部分であり、かんぬきケース部１０１上に設置されている。本実施例では、発光部１３０はＬＥＤにより構成されている。
　なお、発光部１３０設置位置は、制御系収容部１０５上でもよく、錠のデザイン、形態等にあわせて適当な位置に変更してもよい。 The light emitting unit 130 is a part that emits light, and is installed on the hinge case unit 101. In the present embodiment, the light emitting unit 130 is composed of LEDs.
The light emitting unit 130 may be installed on the control system housing unit 105 or may be changed to an appropriate position according to the design, form, etc. of the lock.
　さらに、発光部１３０はＬＥＤのみならず、豆電球等により構成しても良い。
　受信部１４０は、リモコン装置Ｒから送信される識別コードを含む信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４を受信する部分である。受信部１４０により受信される信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４は、ともに同一内容の信号Ｓであり、受信部１４０により受信される順を区別するため、Ｓ１（１番目）、Ｓ２（２番目）、Ｓ３（３番目）、Ｓ４（４番目）としている。
　送信部１５０は、信号Ｓ１を受信したことを知らせる受信報告信号Ｉをリモコン装置Ｒに送信する部分である。すなわち、送信部１５０は、受信報告信号Ｉを生成し、これをリモコン装置Ｒに向かって送信する。 Furthermore, the light emitting unit 130 may be configured by not only LEDs but also miniature bulbs.
The receiving unit 140 is a part that receives signals S1 to S4 including an identification code transmitted from the remote control device R. The signals S1 to S4 received by the receiving unit 140 are signals S having the same contents, and in order to distinguish the order of reception by the receiving unit 140, S1 (first), S2 (second), S3 (3 Th), S4 (fourth).
The transmission unit 150 is a part that transmits a reception report signal I notifying that the signal S1 has been received to the remote control device R. That is, the transmission unit 150 generates a reception report signal I and transmits it to the remote control device R.
　判別部１６０は、信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４に含まれる識別コードと予め記憶した識別コードとが一致するか否かを判別する部分である。すなわち、判別部１６０には、メモリが備えられ、製造時に特定の識別コードが記憶されている。そして、信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４を受信した際に、信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４に含まれる識別コードと製造時にメモリに記憶された識別コードとを、周知の技術によって比較する。これにより、信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４に含まれる識別コードと予め記憶した識別コードとが一致するか否か判別する。
　制御部１７０は、判別部１６０が信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４に含まれる識別コードと予め記憶した識別コードとが一致すると判断した場合に、送信部１５０と発光部１３０と解錠手段１２０とを制御する部分である。 The determination unit 160 is a part that determines whether or not the identification code included in the signals S1 to S4 matches the previously stored identification code. That is, the determination unit 160 includes a memory, and stores a specific identification code at the time of manufacture. When the signals S1 to S4 are received, the identification code included in the signals S1 to S4 and the identification code stored in the memory at the time of manufacture are compared by a known technique. Thus, it is determined whether or not the identification code included in the signals S1 to S4 matches the previously stored identification code.
The control unit 170 controls the transmission unit 150, the light emitting unit 130, and the unlocking means 120 when the determination unit 160 determines that the identification code included in the signals S1 to S4 matches the previously stored identification code. It is.
　すなわち、制御部１７０は、受信部１４０が信号Ｓ１を受信し、判別部１６０がこれに含まれる識別コードと予め記憶した識別コードとが一致すると判断した場合に、送信部１５０を制御して、受信到達信号Ｉを生成させ、これをリモコン装置Ｒに向かって送信させる。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒに対して、信号Ｓ１が自転車用操作錠１００により受信されたことを知らせる。 That is, the control unit 170 controls the transmission unit 150 when the reception unit 140 receives the signal S1 and the determination unit 160 determines that the identification code included therein matches the identification code stored in advance. A reception arrival signal I is generated and transmitted to the remote control device R. This notifies the remote control device R that the signal S1 has been received by the bicycle operation lock 100.
　また、制御部１７０は、送信部１５０に受信到達信号Ｉをリモコン装置Ｒに向かって送信させた後に、受信部１４０が信号Ｓ２を受信し、判別部１６０がこれに含まれる識別コードと予め記憶した識別コードとが一致すると判断した場合に、発光部１３０を発光させる（ＬＥＤを点灯または点滅させる）。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者（自転車Ｂの持ち主）が、この光を手がかりに自転車Ｂの位置を探すことができる。 In addition, after the control unit 170 causes the transmission unit 150 to transmit the reception arrival signal I toward the remote control device R, the reception unit 140 receives the signal S2, and the determination unit 160 stores in advance the identification code included therein. When it is determined that the identification code matches, the light emitting unit 130 is caused to emit light (LED is turned on or blinked). Thereby, the operator of the remote control device R (the owner of the bicycle B) can search for the position of the bicycle B using this light as a clue.
　さらに、制御部１７０は、発光部１３０を発光させた後に、受信部１４０が信号Ｓ３を受信し、判別部１６０がこれに含まれる識別コードと予め記憶した識別コードとが一致すると判断した場合に、解錠手段１２０に解錠動作を行わせる。すなわち、解錠手段１２０（アクチュエータ）にロックレバー１１３の端部を引き上げさせ、ロックレバー１１３全体を、回転軸１１４を中心に時計回りに回転させる。これにより、先端部１１３（ａ）と切り欠き１１１（ａ）との係合が解除され、図示しないバネにより、かんぬき１１１がかんぬきケース部１０１の右下端部側に引っ張られて、解錠がなされる。制御部１７０が解錠手段１２０にこのような解錠動作を行わせるのは、信号Ｓ３を受信した後である。そのため、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、光を手がかりに自転車Ｂを探し出した後に、リモコン装置Ｒを操作して自転車用遠隔操作錠１００の解錠に着手することができる。 Further, when the control unit 170 causes the light emitting unit 130 to emit light, the receiving unit 140 receives the signal S3, and the determination unit 160 determines that the identification code included therein matches the previously stored identification code. Then, the unlocking means 120 is made to perform the unlocking operation. That is, the unlocking means 120 (actuator) causes the end of the lock lever 113 to be pulled up, and the entire lock lever 113 is rotated clockwise about the rotation shaft 114. As a result, the engagement between the front end portion 113 (a) and the notch 111 (a) is released, and the spring 111 is pulled to the right lower end portion side of the spring case portion 101 by an unillustrated spring, and unlocked. The The controller 170 causes the unlocking means 120 to perform such an unlocking operation after receiving the signal S3. Therefore, the operator of the remote control device R can start the unlocking of the bicycle remote control lock 100 by operating the remote control device R after searching for the bicycle B using the light as a clue.
　また、制御部１７０は、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００を解錠した後に、受信部１４０が信号Ｓ４を受信し、判別部１６０がこれに含まれる識別コードと予め記憶した識別コードとが一致すると判断した場合に、発光部１３０を発光させる。そのため、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、自転車Ｂを探し出す前に、誤って自転車用遠隔操作錠１００を解錠しても、再び光を手がかりに自転車Ｂを探し出すことができる。 Further, after unlocking the bicycle remote control lock 100, the control unit 170 receives the signal S4, and the determination unit 160 determines that the identification code included therein matches the identification code stored in advance. In such a case, the light emitting unit 130 is caused to emit light. Therefore, even if the operator of the remote control device R finds the bicycle B by mistake before unlocking the bicycle remote control lock 100, the operator can search for the bicycle B again with the light as a clue.
　電源１８０は、解錠手段１２０、発光部１３０、受信部１４０、送信部１５０、判別部１６０、制御部１７０及び電池残量ゲージ１８１に電気を供給するものである。本実施例では、電源１８０としてボタン型リチウム電池を用いている。
　なお、電源１８０は、乾電池でも良い。さらに、自転車Ｂが電動機付自転車の場合は、これのバッテリーを用いても良い。また、ソーラーエネルギーを充電し、これを電源として用いても良い。 The power supply 180 supplies electricity to the unlocking means 120, the light emitting unit 130, the receiving unit 140, the transmitting unit 150, the determining unit 160, the control unit 170, and the battery fuel gauge 181. In this embodiment, a button type lithium battery is used as the power source 180.
The power source 180 may be a dry battery. Further, when the bicycle B is a bicycle with an electric motor, this battery may be used. Alternatively, solar energy may be charged and used as a power source.
　電池残量ゲージ１８１は、制御系収容部１０５上に設置され、三つの目盛を有している。そして、電池残量が６０パーセント以上の際は、最も上の目盛を点灯させ、５９～３０パーセントの際は、真ん中の目盛を点灯させ、２９パーセント以下の際は、最も下の目盛を点灯させる。この電池残量ゲージ１８１は、電源１８０から電気の供給を受けて点灯する。
　なお、電池残量ゲージ１８１の設置位置や目盛の数は、錠のデザインや形態に合わせて適宜変更しても良い。また、電池残量ゲージ１８１は、ソーラーパネルにより蓄えられた電気により点灯させても良い。 The battery fuel gauge 181 is installed on the control system housing unit 105 and has three scales. When the remaining battery level is 60% or more, the top scale is turned on, when it is 59-30%, the middle scale is turned on, and when it is 29% or less, the bottom scale is turned on. . The battery fuel gauge 181 is turned on when power is supplied from the power source 180.
The installation position of the battery fuel gauge 181 and the number of scales may be appropriately changed according to the design and form of the lock. Further, the battery fuel gauge 181 may be turned on by electricity stored by the solar panel.
　図３（ａ）に示される自転車用遠隔操作錠１００と組み合わせて用いられるリモコン装置Ｒは、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に識別コードを含む信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４を送信するものである。リモコン装置Ｒには、識別コードを含む信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４を生成して送信するためのスイッチＲ（ａ）と、受信報告信号Ｉを自転車用遠隔操作錠１００から受信した際に点灯するライトＲ（ｂ）が設けられている。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、スイッチＲ（ａ）を操作して、信号Ｓ１～Ｓ３を自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に送信することができる（図３（ｂ）参照）。また、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、ライトＲ（ｂ）の点灯により、信号Ｓ１が自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に受信されたこと、すなわち、信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４が自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に届く距離に自分がいることを知ることができる。 The remote control device R used in combination with the bicycle remote control lock 100 shown in FIG. 3A transmits signals S1 to S4 including an identification code to the bicycle remote control lock 100. The remote control device R includes a switch R (a) for generating and transmitting signals S1 to S4 including an identification code, and a light R (which is turned on when the reception report signal I is received from the bicycle remote control lock 100. b) is provided. Thereby, the operator of the remote control device R can operate the switch R (a) to transmit the signals S1 to S3 to the bicycle remote control lock 100 (see FIG. 3B). Further, the operator of the remote control device R, when the light R (b) is turned on, the signal S1 is received by the bicycle remote control lock 100, that is, the distance that the signals S1 to S4 reach the bicycle remote control lock 100. You can know that you are.
　また、リモコン装置Ｒは、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００を手動で解錠するためのキーＫを有している。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒを持つ者は、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００が故障等により、遠隔操作で解錠しない場合に、手動でこれを解錠することができる。
　このようなリモコン装置Ｒは、周知の技術によって構成することができる。
　なお、同様の機能を有するように構成すれば、図示したリモコン装置Ｒの代わりに、例えば、スマートフォン等の機器を用いても良い。 In addition, the remote control device R has a key K for manually unlocking the bicycle remote control lock 100. Thus, a person having the remote control device R can manually unlock the bicycle remote control lock 100 when the bicycle remote control lock 100 is not unlocked by remote operation due to a failure or the like.
Such a remote control device R can be configured by a known technique.
In addition, as long as it has a similar function, a device such as a smartphone may be used instead of the illustrated remote control device R.
　本実施例において説明した自転車用遠隔操作錠１００及びリモコン装置Ｒには、それぞれ防水加工が施されている。そのため、野外に駐輪して自転車Ｂ、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００及びリモコン装置Ｒが雨に濡れたとしても、遠隔操作による解錠動作を問題なく行うことができる。
　次に、図１～図３を用いて、本発明の第1実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠１００の動作を説明する。 The bicycle remote control lock 100 and the remote control device R described in the present embodiment are each waterproofed. Therefore, even if the bicycle B, the bicycle remote control lock 100, and the remote control device R get wet in the rain when parked outdoors, the unlocking operation by remote control can be performed without any problem.
Next, the operation of the bicycle remote control lock 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
　［施錠動作（手動）］
　自転車Ｂの持ち主は、自転車を止め、施錠レバー１０２を施錠レバー溝１０４に沿って、半時計回りの方向に動かす。すると、かんぬき１１１の先端が開口１０２から出て、自転車Ｂの車輪のスポークの間を通って、開口１０３に入る。また、このとき、ロックレバー１１３の先端部１１３（ａ）がかんぬき１１１の切り欠き１１１（ａ）と係合する。これにより、自転車Ｂの車輪のスポークにかんぬき１１１が当接して車輪の回転が規制されるとともに、かんぬき１１１が施錠位置に固定され、施錠がなされる（図１及び図３（ｂ）参照）。 [Locking operation (manual)]
The owner of the bicycle B stops the bicycle and moves the lock lever 102 along the lock lever groove 104 in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the tip of the yoke 111 exits from the opening 102, passes between the spokes of the wheel of the bicycle B, and enters the opening 103. At this time, the tip 113 (a) of the lock lever 113 is engaged with the notch 111 (a) of the yoke 111. Thereby, the yoke 111 is brought into contact with the spokes of the wheel of the bicycle B and the rotation of the wheel is restricted, and the yoke 111 is fixed at the locked position and locked (see FIGS. 1 and 3B).
　［解錠動作（手動）］
　リモコン装置Ｒを持つ者（自転車Ｂの持ち主）は、リモコン装置Ｒに設けられたキーＫをキーシリンダ式解錠機構１２５の図示しないキー挿入孔に入れて回転させる。これにより、ロックレバー１１３の端部１１３（ｃ）を上側に（解錠手段１２０側に）移動させ、ロックレバー１１３全体を、回転軸１１４を中心に時計回りに回転させ、先端部１１３（ａ）と切り欠き１１１（ａ）との係合が解除する。その結果、図示しないバネにより、かんぬき１１１がかんぬきケース部１０１の右下端部側に引っ張られて、解錠がなされる。 [Unlocking operation (manual)]
A person having the remote control device R (the owner of the bicycle B) puts the key K provided on the remote control device R into a key insertion hole (not shown) of the key cylinder type unlocking mechanism 125 and rotates it. As a result, the end 113 (c) of the lock lever 113 is moved upward (toward the unlocking means 120), the entire lock lever 113 is rotated clockwise about the rotation shaft 114, and the tip 113 (a ) And the notch 111 (a) are released. As a result, the yoke 111 is pulled by the spring (not shown) toward the right lower end of the case case 101 and unlocked.
　［解錠動作（遠隔操作）］
　リモコン装置Ｒの操作者（自転車Ｂの持ち主）は、図１及び図３（ｂ）に示すように、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００が施錠された状態で、リモコン装置ＲのスイッチＲ（ａ）を押す（ステップ１）。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒにて識別コードを含む信号Ｓ１が生成され、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に向けて送信される（ステップ２）。次いで、信号Ｓ１が受信部１４０にて受信される（ステップ３）。信号Ｓ１が受信されると、判別部１６０は、信号Ｓ１に含まれる識別コードと、判別部１６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとを比較し、これらが一致するか否かを判別する（ステップ４）。信号Ｓ１に含まれる識別コードと、判別部１６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとが一致した場合には、制御部１７０は、送信部１５０を制御し、受信報告信号Ｉを生成させ、これをリモコン装置Ｒに送信させる（ステップ５）。リモコン装置Ｒは、受信報告信号Ｉを受信すると、ライトＲ（ｂ）を点灯させる（ステップ６）。ここで、ライトＲ（ｂ）が点灯しない場合は、リモコン装置Ｒから送信される信号Ｓ１が自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に届いていないことを意味するため、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、場所を移動して、ステップ１のように再びスイッチＲ（ａ）を押す必要がある。 [Unlocking operation (remote operation)]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3B, the operator of the remote control device R (the owner of the bicycle B) presses the switch R (a) of the remote control device R with the bicycle remote control lock 100 locked. Press (Step 1). As a result, the signal S1 including the identification code is generated by the remote control device R and transmitted to the bicycle remote control lock 100 (step 2). Next, the signal S1 is received by the receiving unit 140 (step 3). When the signal S1 is received, the determination unit 160 compares the identification code included in the signal S1 with the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 160, and determines whether or not they match ( Step 4). When the identification code included in the signal S1 matches the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 160, the control unit 170 controls the transmission unit 150 to generate the reception report signal I. Is transmitted to the remote control device R (step 5). When receiving the reception report signal I, the remote control device R turns on the light R (b) (step 6). Here, when the light R (b) is not turned on, it means that the signal S1 transmitted from the remote control device R has not reached the bicycle remote control lock 100. It is necessary to move and press switch R (a) again as in step 1.
　リモコン装置Ｒの操作者がライトＲ（ｂ）の点灯を確認したときは、再度スイッチＲ（ａ）を押す（ステップ７）。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒにて識別コードを含む信号Ｓ２が生成され、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に向けて送信される（ステップ８）。次いで、信号Ｓ２が受信部１４０にて受信される（ステップ９）。信号Ｓ２が受信されると、判別部１６０は、信号Ｓ２に含まれる識別コードと、判別部１６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとを比較し、これらが一致するか否かを判別する（ステップ１０）。信号Ｓ２に含まれる識別コードと、判別部１６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとが一致した場合には、制御部１７０は、発光部１３０を制御して、発光部１３０を発光させる（ＬＥＤを点灯または点滅させる）（ステップ１１）。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者はこの光を手がかりに、自分の自転車Ｂを容易に探すことができる。 When the operator of the remote control device R confirms that the light R (b) is turned on, the switch R (a) is pressed again (step 7). As a result, a signal S2 including an identification code is generated by the remote control device R and transmitted to the bicycle remote control lock 100 (step 8). Next, the signal S2 is received by the receiving unit 140 (step 9). When the signal S2 is received, the determination unit 160 compares the identification code included in the signal S2 with the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 160, and determines whether or not they match ( Step 10). When the identification code included in the signal S2 matches the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 160, the control unit 170 controls the light emitting unit 130 to cause the light emitting unit 130 to emit light (LED Is turned on or blinked) (step 11). Thereby, the operator of the remote control device R can easily find his / her bicycle B using this light as a clue.
　リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、自転車Ｂを発見したときは、再びスイッチＲ（ａ）を押す（ステップ１２）。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒにて識別コードを含む信号Ｓ３が生成され、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に向けて送信される（ステップ１３）。次いで、信号Ｓ３が受信部１４０にて受信される（ステップ１４）。信号Ｓ３が受信されると、判別部１６０は、信号Ｓ３に含まれる識別コードと、判別部１６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとを比較し、これらが一致するか否かを判別する（ステップ１５）。信号Ｓ３に含まれる識別コードと、判別部１６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとが一致した場合には、制御部１７０は、解錠手段１２０に解錠動作を行わせる（ステップ１６）。すなわち、解錠手段１２０（アクチュエータ）により、ロックレバー１１３の端部を引き上げて、ロックレバー１１３全体を、回転軸１１４を中心に時計回りに回転させ、先端部１１３（ａ）と切り欠き１１１（ａ）の係合を解除する。これにより、図示しないバネにより、かんぬき１１１がかんぬきケース部１０１の右下端部側に引っ張られて、解錠がなされる。また、ステップ１６の際、制御部１７０に発光部１３０を制御させて、発光部１３０の発光を終了する（ＬＥＤを消灯する）。 When the operator of the remote control device R finds the bicycle B, the operator presses the switch R (a) again (step 12). As a result, the signal S3 including the identification code is generated by the remote control device R and transmitted to the bicycle remote control lock 100 (step 13). Next, the signal S3 is received by the receiving unit 140 (step 14). When the signal S3 is received, the determination unit 160 compares the identification code included in the signal S3 with the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 160, and determines whether or not they match ( Step 15). When the identification code included in the signal S3 matches the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 160, the control unit 170 causes the unlocking means 120 to perform the unlocking operation (step 16). That is, the unlocking means 120 (actuator) pulls up the end of the lock lever 113 and rotates the lock lever 113 as a whole around the rotation shaft 114 in the clockwise direction, so that the tip 113 (a) and the notch 111 ( Release the engagement of a). Thereby, the yoke 111 is pulled by the spring which is not shown in figure to the right lower end part side of the case case 101, and unlocking is made | formed. In step 16, the control unit 170 controls the light emitting unit 130 to end the light emission of the light emitting unit 130 (the LED is turned off).
　以上で自転車用遠隔操作錠１００の解錠動作（遠隔操作）は終了するが、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者が、自転車Ｂを発見する前に、誤ってスイッチＲ（ａ）を押して、解錠がなされてしまっている場合は、再びスイッチ（ａ）を押す。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒにて識別コードを含む信号Ｓ４が生成され、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に向けて送信される。次いで、信号Ｓ４が受信部１４０にて受信される。信号Ｓ４が受信されると、判別部１６０は、信号Ｓ４に含まれる識別コードと、判別部１６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとを比較し、これらが一致するか否かを判別する。信号Ｓ４に含まれる識別コードと、判別部１６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとが一致した場合には、制御部１７０は、発光部１３０を制御して、発光部１３０を発光させる。この発光は一定時間が経つと終了するが、信号Ｓ５を受信したときに終了するようにしても良い。 Thus, the unlocking operation (remote control) of the bicycle remote control lock 100 ends. However, before the operator of the remote control device R discovers the bicycle B, the unlocking operation is performed by pressing the switch R (a) by mistake. If it has been done, press switch (a) again. Thereby, the signal S4 including the identification code is generated by the remote control device R and transmitted to the bicycle remote control lock 100. Next, the signal S4 is received by the receiving unit 140. When the signal S4 is received, the determination unit 160 compares the identification code included in the signal S4 with the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 160, and determines whether or not they match. When the identification code included in the signal S4 matches the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 160, the control unit 170 controls the light emitting unit 130 to cause the light emitting unit 130 to emit light. This light emission ends when a certain time elapses, but may be ended when the signal S5 is received.
　このように、本発明の第１実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠１００は、リモコン装置Ｒからの信号Ｓ１～Ｓ３を受信しない限り、解錠動作を行わないため、誤って一度リモコン装置ＲのスイッチＲ（ａ）を押したとしても、解錠はなされない。そのため、従来の自転車用遠隔操作錠に比べ防犯性が向上している。また、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００は、信号Ｓ１を受信すると、リモコン装置Ｒに受信到達信号Ｉを送信する。そのため、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００に信号Ｓ１～Ｓ４が届く距離に自分がいること、また、この状態で二度スイッチＲ（ａ）を押すと自転車用遠隔操作錠１００が解錠されることを知ることができる。さらに、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００は、信号Ｓ２を受信すると、発光部１３０を発光させる。そのため、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、この光を手がかりに、多数の自転車や同様の規格の自転車の中から、自分の自転車Ｂを容易に発見することができる。また、制御部１７０が解錠手段１２０に解錠動作を行わせるのは、発光部１３０を発光させた後である。そのため、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、発光部１３０の光を手がかりに自分の自転車を発見した段階で、リモコン装置Ｒを操作して、自転車用遠隔操作錠１００の解錠を行うことができる。さらに、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者が、仮に誤って解錠をしてしまったとしても、再び発光部を発光させることができ、その光を手がかりに、容易に自転車を探し出すことができる。 As described above, the bicycle remote control lock 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention does not perform the unlocking operation unless it receives the signals S1 to S3 from the remote control device R. Even if the switch R (a) is pressed, unlocking is not performed. Therefore, crime prevention is improved as compared with the conventional bicycle remote control lock. In addition, the bicycle remote control lock 100 transmits a reception arrival signal I to the remote control device R when receiving the signal S1. Therefore, the operator of the remote control device R is in the distance that the signals S1 to S4 reach the bicycle remote control lock 100, and when the switch R (a) is pressed twice in this state, the bicycle remote control lock 100 You can know that 100 is unlocked. Furthermore, the bicycle remote control lock 100 causes the light emitting unit 130 to emit light when receiving the signal S2. Therefore, the operator of the remote control device R can easily find his / her bicycle B from a large number of bicycles and bicycles of the same standard, using this light as a clue. Further, the controller 170 causes the unlocking means 120 to perform the unlocking operation after the light emitting unit 130 is caused to emit light. Therefore, the operator of the remote control device R can unlock the bicycle remote control lock 100 by operating the remote control device R when he / she finds his / her bicycle using the light from the light emitting unit 130 as a clue. Furthermore, even if the operator of the remote control device R unlocks it by mistake, the light emitting unit can be made to emit light again, and the bicycle can be easily found using the light as a clue.
　図４及び図５を用いて、本発明の第２実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠２００の構成を説明する。図４は、本発明の第２実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠２００の正面図であり、施錠された状態を示している。また、図５は、本発明の第２実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠２００の制御系統のブロック図である。 The configuration of the bicycle remote control lock 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a front view of a bicycle remote control lock 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, showing a locked state. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a control system of the bicycle remote control lock 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
　本発明の第２実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠２００は、音響部２９０を有する点、信号Ｓ２を受信したときに、制御部２７０が発光部２３０とともに音響部２９０も制御する点、以外の点は第１実施例と同様であるため、音響部２９０及び制御部２７０以外の説明を省略する。
　音響部２９０は、制御部２７０の制御を受けて、予め設定された特定音を発する部分である。音響部２９０は、スピーカーを有し、ここから予め設定された特定音を発する。本実施例では、スピーカーの設置位置は制御系収容部２０５上としたが、かんぬきケース部１０１上でも良く、錠のデザイン、形態等にあわせて適当な位置に変更してもよい。 The bicycle remote control lock 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a sound unit 290, and when the signal S2 is received, the control unit 270 controls the sound unit 290 together with the light emitting unit 230. Since the points are the same as those in the first embodiment, descriptions other than the acoustic unit 290 and the control unit 270 are omitted.
The acoustic unit 290 is a part that emits a predetermined specific sound under the control of the control unit 270. The acoustic unit 290 has a speaker, and emits a specific sound set in advance therefrom. In this embodiment, the installation position of the speaker is on the control system accommodation unit 205, but it may be on the casing case 101 and may be changed to an appropriate position according to the design, form, etc. of the lock.
　制御部２７０は、受信部２４０が信号Ｓ２を受信し、判別部２６０がこれに含まれる識別コードと予め記憶した識別コードとが一致すると判断した場合に、発光部２３０を発光させるとともに、音響部２９０から予め設定された特定音を発生させる。これにより、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者（自転車Ｂの持ち主）は、発光部２３０からの光のみならず、音響部２９０から発せられる音も手がかりにして、自転車Ｂを探すことができる。 When the receiving unit 240 receives the signal S2 and the determining unit 260 determines that the identification code included in the receiving unit 240 matches the previously stored identification code, the control unit 270 causes the light emitting unit 230 to emit light and the acoustic unit A specific sound set in advance from 290 is generated. Thereby, the operator of the remote control device R (the owner of the bicycle B) can search for the bicycle B by using not only the light from the light emitting unit 230 but also the sound emitted from the acoustic unit 290 as a clue.
　また、本発明の第２実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠２００と組み合わせて用いられるリモコン装置Ｒ２は、本発明の第１実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠１００と組み合わせて用いられるリモコン装置Ｒの構成に加えて、音響モードボタンＲ２（ｃ１）、発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ２）、音響及び発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ３）を有する。リモコン装置Ｒ２は、音響モードボタンＲ２（ｃ１）が選択されている際は、ステップ１１において、制御部２７０に音響部２９０のみを制御させる信号を、発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ２）が選択されている際は、ステップ１１において、制御部２７０に発光部２３０のみを制御させる信号を、音響及び発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ３）が選択されている際は、ステップ１１において、制御部２７０に音響部２９０及び発光部２３０を制御させる信号を、それぞれ生成するように構成される。そして、リモコン装置Ｒ２は、スイッチＲ２（ａ）を押すことにより、選択されたモードの信号を生成して送信する。　次に、本発明の第２実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠２００の動作を、リモコン装置Ｒ２で音響及び発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ３）が選択されている場合を例にとって、説明する。自転車用遠隔操作錠２００の動作は、前述のステップ１１を除いて、第１実施例と同様（発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ２）が選択された場合は、ステップ１１も第１実施例と同様）であるため、ステップ１１以外の説明を省略する。 The remote control device R2 used in combination with the bicycle remote control lock 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is used in combination with the bicycle remote control lock 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In addition to the above configuration, there are an acoustic mode button R2 (c1), a light emission mode button R2 (c2), and a sound and light emission mode button R2 (c3). When the acoustic mode button R2 (c1) is selected, the remote control device R2 selects a signal that causes the control unit 270 to control only the acoustic unit 290 in step 11, and the emission mode button R2 (c2) is selected. In step 11, when the sound and light emission mode button R2 (c3) is selected, a signal for causing the control unit 270 to control only the light emitting unit 230 is selected. A signal for controlling the light emitting unit 230 is generated. Then, the remote control device R2 generates and transmits a signal of the selected mode by pressing the switch R2 (a). Next, the operation of the bicycle remote control lock 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking as an example the case where the sound and light emission mode button R2 (c3) is selected by the remote control device R2. The operation of the bicycle remote control lock 200 is the same as in the first embodiment except for the above-described step 11 (when the light emission mode button R2 (c2) is selected, the step 11 is also the same as the first embodiment). Therefore, description other than step 11 is omitted.
　ステップ１１において、信号Ｓ２に含まれる識別コードと、判別部２６０のメモリに予め記憶された識別コードとが一致した場合には、制御部２７０は、発光部２３０及び音響部２９０を制御して、発光部２３０を発光させるとともに、音響部２９０から予め設定された特定音を発生させる。なお、音響部２９０から発生している特定音は、ステップ１６の際、制御部２７０が音響部２９０を制御することにより、止まる。（なお、音響モードボタンＲ２（ｃ１）が選択された場合は、発光部２３０が発光しないだけで他の動作はこれと同様となる。） In step 11, when the identification code included in the signal S2 matches the identification code stored in advance in the memory of the determination unit 260, the control unit 270 controls the light emitting unit 230 and the acoustic unit 290, and The light emitting unit 230 is caused to emit light and a specific sound set in advance from the acoustic unit 290 is generated. Note that the specific sound generated from the acoustic unit 290 stops when the control unit 270 controls the acoustic unit 290 during step 16. (Note that when the acoustic mode button R2 (c1) is selected, only the light emitting unit 230 does not emit light, and other operations are the same.)
　このように、本発明の第２実施例である自転車用遠隔操作錠２００は、発光部２３０から光を発するとともに、音響部２９０から特定音を発生させるため、リモコン装置Ｒの操作者は、より容易に自分の自転車Ｂを、多数の自転車や同様の規格の自転車の中から見つけることができる。特に、屋外などの明るい場所で、発光部１３０からの光を確認できなかった場合にも、音響部２９０から発生する特定音を手がかりに、容易に自転車Ｂを発見することができる。 Thus, the bicycle remote control lock 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention emits light from the light emitting unit 230 and generates a specific sound from the acoustic unit 290. You can easily find your bicycle B from many bicycles and bicycles of similar standards. In particular, even when the light from the light emitting unit 130 cannot be confirmed in a bright place such as outdoors, the bicycle B can be easily found using the specific sound generated from the acoustic unit 290 as a clue.
　また、自転車用遠隔操作錠２００に組み合わせて用いられるリモコン装置Ｒ２に、音響モードボタンＲ２（ｃ１）、発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ２）、音響及び発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ３）が設けることで、状況に応じた取扱いが可能となる。例えば、夜間閑静な住宅街で用いる場合は、発光モードボタンＲ２（ｃ２）を選択しておくことで、音が発生せず、他人に迷惑をかけずに済む。また、昼間用いる場合は、音響モードボタンＲ２（ｃ１）を選択しておくことで、発光部２３０を発光させる分の電気を節約することができる。 Further, the remote control device R2 used in combination with the bicycle remote control lock 200 is provided with an acoustic mode button R2 (c1), a light emission mode button R2 (c2), and a sound and light emission mode button R2 (c3). The handling according to it becomes possible. For example, when used in a quiet residential area at night, the light emission mode button R2 (c2) is selected, so that no sound is generated and no trouble is caused to others. Moreover, when using it in the daytime, electricity for light emission of the light emission part 230 can be saved by selecting acoustic mode button R2 (c1).
　以上に本発明の自転車用遠隔操作錠の第１実施例及び第２実施例を説明した。第１実施例及び第２実施例では、自転車用遠隔操作錠は、自転車に取り付けられているリング錠（馬蹄錠・サークル錠）であったが、本発明は、これに限定されず、自転車の車輪に絡ませて用いられるワイヤー式の錠やＵ字型の錠であっても良い。また、本発明は、自転車に取り付けられ、直線状のかんぬきが車輪の回転を規制する箱型錠であっても良い。 The first and second embodiments of the bicycle remote control lock according to the present invention have been described above. In the first and second embodiments, the bicycle remote control lock is a ring lock (horse-shoe lock / circle lock) attached to the bicycle. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and It may be a wire-type lock or a U-shaped lock used by being entangled with a wheel. In addition, the present invention may be a box-type lock that is attached to a bicycle and in which a linear yoke regulates the rotation of the wheel.
　また、第１実施例及び第２実施例において、説明に用いた自転車用遠隔操作錠１００、２００は、自転車の後輪側に設けられることが想定されていたが、本発明は、これに限定されず、設計やデザインなどによっては、前輪側に設けても良い。 In the first and second embodiments, it is assumed that the bicycle remote control locks 100 and 200 used for the description are provided on the rear wheel side of the bicycle. However, the present invention is not limited to this. However, it may be provided on the front wheel side depending on the design and design.
　さらに、第１実施例及び第２実施例では、発光部１３０（２３０）は、かんぬきケース部１０１（２０１）のみに設けられていたが、本発明は、これに限定されず、この発光部１３０（２３０）を、キーシリンダ式解錠機構１２５（２２５）の図示しないキー挿入孔（制御系収容部のキーシリンダ式解錠機構の近くに設けられる。ただし、キーシリンダ式解錠機構を操作して、手動による解錠を実現できるのであれば、設計者の好きな場所に設けることができる。）付近に設けても良い。このように、発光部１３０（２３０）を、キー挿入孔付近に設けることで、リモコン装置Ｒを持つ者（自転車Ｂの持ち主）は、キー挿入孔の位置を確認しやすくなる。そのため、故障などが原因で第３の信号をリモコン装置Ｒから送信しても解錠動作がなされず、手動で解錠を行う場合に、キー挿入孔の位置が確認しやすく、暗闇の中でキー挿入孔の位置を探すのに手間取ることなく、容易に手動での解錠を行うことができる。 Furthermore, in the first and second embodiments, the light emitting unit 130 (230) is provided only in the hood case 101 (201). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the light emitting unit 130 is provided. (230) is provided near a key insertion hole (not shown) of the key cylinder type unlocking mechanism 125 (225) (the key cylinder type unlocking mechanism of the control system housing portion). As long as manual unlocking can be realized, it can be provided at any place desired by the designer). Thus, by providing the light emitting unit 130 (230) in the vicinity of the key insertion hole, it becomes easier for a person having the remote control device R (the owner of the bicycle B) to confirm the position of the key insertion hole. Therefore, even if the third signal is transmitted from the remote control device R due to a failure or the like, the unlocking operation is not performed, and when manually unlocking, it is easy to confirm the position of the key insertion hole, and in the dark Manual unlocking can be easily performed without taking time to find the position of the key insertion hole.
　また、第１実施例及び第２実施例の自転車用遠隔操作錠１００、２００において、発光部１３０（２３０）とは別個に、図示しないキー挿入孔の付近にライト（例えば、ＬＥＤにより構成される）を設けても良い。そして、周知の技術により、これをリモコン装置Ｒからの操作で、点灯可能なように構成しても良い（例えば、リモコン装置Ｒから、第１から第３の信号とは別の種類の信号を送り、この信号を受信した際に、ライトが点灯するようにすることができる。）。このように、キー挿入孔付近にライトを別個に設けることにより、遠隔操作による解錠ではなく、手動による解錠を行いたい場合に、キー挿入孔の位置が確認しやすくなる。これにより、暗闇の中でキー挿入孔の位置を探すのに手間取ることなく、容易に手動での解錠を行うことができる。
　この他、本発明は、上記実施例に限定されることなく、本発明の技術思想を逸脱しない範囲で、多様に変形して実施することができる。 In the bicycle remote control locks 100 and 200 according to the first and second embodiments, a light (for example, an LED) is provided near a key insertion hole (not shown) separately from the light emitting unit 130 (230). ) May be provided. Then, it may be configured to be lit by an operation from the remote control device R by a known technique (for example, a signal of a different type from the first to third signals is received from the remote control device R). Send and receive this signal, the light can be turned on.) Thus, by providing the light separately in the vicinity of the key insertion hole, it is easy to confirm the position of the key insertion hole when it is desired to perform unlocking manually rather than unlocking by remote control. Thus, manual unlocking can be easily performed without taking time and effort to find the position of the key insertion hole in the dark.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.
