[S50] It is determined whether or not the receipt issuing device 22 is not broken down and the receipt can be issued. If yes, the process proceeds to step S51. If not, the process proceeds to step S53. [S51] A receipt issuing command is sent to the receipt issuing device 22 to issue a receipt. [S52] A coin collection instruction is sent to the storage device 78 to collect coins in the coin collector 75.

[S53] The door 51 is unlocked to indicate that it is impossible to keep the home delivery. [S54] It is determined whether or not the door 51 is closed. If it is closed, the process proceeds to step S55, and if not, step S54 is repeated. [S55] It is determined whether the parcel is still stored, and if it is stored, the process returns to step S53, and if not, the process proceeds to step S56. [S56] A return command is sent to the storage device 78, and the inserted coin is returned from the coin return port 74.

By the way, in this embodiment, an example of the home delivery storage rocker unit 1 having one control device 21 and two rockers 5 and 6 has been shown. However, in reality, a large number of home delivery storage rocker units are required according to the number of living rooms.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a configuration example in which two home delivery storage rocker units are added. Here, if the home delivery storage rocker unit 1 having the control device 21 is used as a master unit, the other home delivery storage rocker units 100 and 11 will be described.
0 is a child machine. Home delivery storage locker unit 1 for each child device
The power supply to 00 and 110 is normally performed from the power supply circuit 24 of the home delivery storage rocker unit 1 which is the master unit as shown in FIG. Since the locking / unlocking device provided on the door is composed of an electromagnetic solenoid or the like, it requires a relatively large amount of electric power. For this reason, if unlocking commands for a plurality of doors are issued at the same time, the power supply circuit 24 may overheat.

Therefore, in this embodiment, first of all, the delivered goods storage rocker units 100 and 110, which are slaves, are provided with priorities following the delivered goods storage rocker unit 1 in advance. For example, the home delivery storage rocker unit 100 has a higher priority than the home delivery storage rocker unit 110. Therefore, in FIG. 11, the priority is high in the order of the home delivery storage rocker unit 1, 100, 110.

By thus determining the priorities, when the unlocking commands for the doors of two or more rocker units are issued at the same time, the locker door with the higher priority is unlocked first. To do so. For example, when the unlock command buttons of the locker 6 door and the locker 111 door are pressed simultaneously, the locker 6 door is unlocked first, and then the locker 11
Allow the door of 1 to be unlocked. Regarding the upper and lower rockers of the same delivered goods storage rocker unit, when one of the rockers is in operation, the other is not accepted. Accordingly, unlocking control of two or more doors at the same time can be avoided, and there is no fear that the power supply circuit 24 overheats.
