  FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a series of operations of the patrol management system according to the present invention constituted by the center management device 300, the portable management processing device 200 and the key box 100, and the operations will be described in accordance with the flowchart. In general, a plurality of portable management processing devices 200 and key boxes 100 are included, but the operations of each portable management processing device 200 and key box 100 are basically the same.

  In the center management device 300, the manager creates a substation traveling schedule as shown in FIG. 8 before the sunrise motion (step S1). A database 307 is created and stored in advance as a table on which the names and ID data (information) of all substations and the names of all the substations that are the object of the patrol are listed, and fingerprint data that is the information of all patrolers. The administrator displays this on the display device 301, for example, and inputs a traveling schedule such as a substation to travel with the traveling person to the input device 303. The entered tour schedule is displayed by a circle as shown in FIG. 8, for example. A fingerprint reader 305 is used to input the patrol person's fingerprint data when creating the original table. In addition, such a substation traveling schedule is usually created in batches for one week or one month.

  Before the patrol, the patrol person brings the portable management processing device 200 close to the center management device 300 so that communication can be performed between the transmission / reception antenna 201 and the transmission / reception antenna 311 at the center, for example, as shown in FIG. Downloading (recording) the substation visit schedule information for the substation, that is, the fingerprint data of the visitor and the ID data of the visitor substation, to the portable management processing device 200 by clicking on the name of the substation visit schedule For example, it is recorded in the RAM 209 (steps S2 and S3). Data in the RAM 209 is always held by the constant voltage power source 215.

When the mobile management processor 200 in which the traveling schedule information is recorded is dispatched and arrives at the substation, the patrol person connects the power connector 217 of the portable management processor 200 to the power connector 111 of the key box 100. Then, power is supplied to the key box 100 to make it operable (step S31). Then, when the patroller operates the input key 225 of the portable management processing device 200, the transmission / reception antenna 201 requests the key box 100 to transmit the ID data of the substation (step S11). In this state, the key box 100 has already been supplied with power and is waiting for an ID data transmission request. When the transmission request is received by the transmission / reception antenna 107a (step S32), the ID of the substation recorded in advance in the ROM 107c. Data is transmitted (step S33). Thereafter, data transmission between the portable management processing device 200 and the key box 100 is performed between both transmitting and receiving antennas 201 and 107a .

  When the portable management processing device 200 receives the substation ID data (step S12), it collates with the substation ID data recorded in the RAM 209 (step S13). Is temporarily lit (step S16), and the operation is terminated. If they match, “OK” of the indicator lamp 221 is temporarily turned on (step S14). As soon as it is confirmed that the “OK” is lit, the patrol person causes the fingerprint reader 203 to read the patrol person's fingerprint data. If the fingerprint data is not read within a predetermined time after receiving the substation ID data (step S15), the portable management processing device 200 temporarily lights “NG” of the indicator lamp 221 (step S16) and ends the operation. . This is to confirm that the patrol person is at the site of the substation. If the fingerprint data is read within the predetermined time, it is checked against the fingerprint data of the traveling schedule information recorded in the RAM 209 (step S17). If the fingerprint data does not match, “NG” of the indicator lamp 221 is temporarily turned on (step S19). Returning to step S15, if they match, “OK” of the indicator lamp 221 is temporarily turned on (step S18) and an unlocking permission signal is transmitted to the key box 100 (step S20).

  When receiving the unlock permission signal from the portable management processing device 200 (step S34), the key box 100 outputs the unlock signal to the electromagnetic lock 109 (step S35). As a result, the lock state of the electromagnetic lock 109 is released and the lid 101 in FIG. 2 is opened, and the key K inside can be taken out and the substation 1 can be entered with this key K. As the electromagnetic lock 109, for example, when the unlocking signal causes the lock mechanism to be opened by an electromagnetic force such as a coil and the lid 101 is closed by a patrol person or the like, the lock mechanism is mechanically returned to the lock position by the force. Use a structure.

  The patrol person opens the lid 101 of the key box 100 to take out the key K, and then closes the lid 101 by hand. As a result, the electromagnetic lock 109 is returned to the lock position. Then, the gate 1c is unlocked with the key K and enters the substation, and necessary patrol (maintenance, etc.) work is performed. After the work is completed, the patrol person goes out of the substation and locks the gate 1c with the key K.

  Then, the patrol person causes the fingerprint reader 203 to read the patrol person's fingerprint data, and when the portable management processing device 200 reads the fingerprint data (step S21), the read fingerprint data of the patrol schedule information recorded in the RAM 209 is displayed. The fingerprint data is collated (step S22). If they do not match, “NG” of the indicator lamp 221 is temporarily lit (step S23), and the process returns to step S21. If they match, “OK” of the indicator lamp 221 is temporarily lit (step S22). S24) and an unlock permission signal is transmitted to the key box 100 (step S25).

  When receiving the unlock permission signal from the portable management processing device 200 (step S36), the key box 100 outputs the unlock signal to the electromagnetic lock 109 (step S37). As a result, the lock state of the electromagnetic lock 109 is released and the lid 101 is opened, and the patrol person opens the lid 101 and puts the key K into the key box 100, and then closes the lid 101 by hand again. As a result, the key box 100 is in a state in which the electromagnetic lock 109 is returned to the lock position with the key K stored. And the operation | movement after step S11 is performed about each substation recorded on RAM209 of the portable management processing apparatus 200 (step S26).

  Furthermore, traveling history information indicating the completion or incompleteness of the traveling of each substation may be recorded in the portable management processing device 200, or may be transmitted to the center management device 300 for notification. In such a case, for example, after transmitting the unlock permission signal in step S20, the completion of the patrol of the substation is recorded in the RAM 209 as the tour history information (step S27). As the traveling history information, for the substation that has completed the traveling, for example, a flag is set in the ID data of the substation in the traveling schedule information in the RAM 209. Then, when the patrol of all the substations in the tour schedule information recorded in the RAM 209 is completed (step S28), for example, “OK” and “NG” of the indicator lamp 221 are simultaneously displayed to notify the patrol person. After turning on temporarily (step S29), the travel history is transmitted to the center management apparatus 300 by the long-distance wireless communication unit 223 or the tour completion signal is transmitted (step S30).

  In the center management apparatus 300, after the traveling schedule information is downloaded to the portable management processing apparatus 200 in step S3, a predetermined time (simply, a time sufficient for performing the traveling work of all the substations included in the traveling schedule information) (simply Check whether or not one traveling operation time has been determined) (step S5), and when the above-mentioned traveling history or traveling completion signal is received by the long-range wireless communication unit 313 (step S4), FIG. Display switching such as changing the color or blinking is performed so that the patrol person's display in the substation traveling schedule shown in FIG. 8 can be understood that the patrol has been completed (step S8). On the other hand, if the traveling history or the traveling completion signal is not obtained even after the predetermined time has elapsed (step S5), an alarm is given by the alarm device 315 such as a buzzer, and the substation traveling schedule table shown in FIG. The display is switched such as changing the color or blinking so that it is understood that an emergency response is necessary due to an accident or the like (step S6). And emergency response is taken (step S7).

  Instead of transmitting the unlocking permission signal in step S20, steps S27 to S30 may be performed after the unlocking permission signal is transmitted in step S25, and a tour completion signal or the like may be transmitted to the center based on this. .

  With the above-mentioned patrol management system, there is no need for a network between the substation that is each patrol target facility and the center management device of the management center, and there is no need for card loss processing. If 100 is supplied with power from the portable management processing device 200 side, it is not necessary to consider power outage backup.

  When there is a request for downloading the scheduled travel information shown in step S2 of FIG. 7, the fingerprint data of the patrol person is read by the fingerprint reader 305 and the fingerprint data of the patrol person as the basis of the above table in the database 307 is obtained. The collation may be performed, and the recording of the substation patrol schedule information regarding the patrol person to the portable management processing device 200 may be permitted only when they match.

  In the case of emergency response in step S7 of FIG. 7, emergency response personnel are dispatched to the substation of the tour schedule information of a patrol person who may have had an accident, and the patrol work is performed instead. In this case, transportable management of emergency responders using the substation ID data and emergency responder's fingerprint data in the planned visitor information as the expected trip information The processing device 200 may be directly input from the input device 303 or the fingerprint reader 305 of the center management device 300.

  In the above example, fingerprint data is used as the ID data of the visitor. However, other biometric information such as iris, retina, face shape, voiceprint, etc. may be used as the ID data. Accordingly, the fingerprint reader 203 of the portable management processing device 200 and the fingerprint reader 305 connected to the center management device 300 may be changed. Furthermore, it may be a simple password (in this case, the input key 225 of the portable management processing device 200 is used), or these may be used together.

  Further, in the above example, power is supplied from the portable management processing device 200 to the key box 100 side, but the facility side fixed control device 105 of the key box 100 is on the substation side except for a special situation such as a power failure. You may make it receive electric power supply from. In that case, a power supply circuit PSC is provided as shown by a broken line in FIG.

  In the above example, the electromagnetic lock 109 is for the lid 101 of the key box 100. However, the electromagnetic lock 109 may be for locking the gate 1c of the substation 1 in FIG. . In that case, the key box 100 in FIG. 1 only needs to have a lower facility-side fixed control device 105 and an electromagnetic lock 109, and these are provided at the gate 1c or in the vicinity thereof.

  Further, in the above-described example, the case where the ID data of one patrol person who performs the patrol work is recorded in the portable management processing device 200 for easy understanding is explained. The ID data of the person may be recorded, and the collation determination may be performed using all of these ID data.

  Further, when the unlocking permission signal is transmitted to the key box 100 after the collation determination of the substation ID data in the portable management processing device 200, the unlocking permission signal is an important signal. A data transmission connector CN is provided as shown by broken lines in FIGS. 2 and 4, and the data transmission connector 219 of the portable management processing device 200 is connected by a cable (similar to that shown in FIG. 6).
