As a result, for example, by holding an IC card (not shown) having predetermined ID information over the front card reader 31 from the space F on the front side of the panel device 1 through the front glass plate 22F, the IC card can be read. An antenna built in the card reader 31 is electromagnetically coupled to an antenna 31c built in the card reader 31, and an operation signal including the ID information of the IC card is input to the input line A from the processing board 31d electrically connected to the antenna 31c. to the controller 40 via. Then, the control device 40 accesses a database (not shown) to check whether or not the ID information matches pre-registered ID information. An open/close command signal is sent to the electric lock 18 via the output line B. If the ID information does not match, it is determined that the user is not an authorized user, and the opening/closing command signal is not sent. Thus, the electric lock 18 is locked or unlocked.

Next, a procedure for attaching the non-contact reader 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the input line A is drawn into the partition panel 20 from the vertical rod 21 through the cover member 25, and the pair of front and rear glass plates 22F and 22R are attached to the vertical rod 21 in a non-contact state. A description will be given by taking as an example a case where the operation of attaching the formula reader 30 is performed.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, the front card reader 31 constituting the non-contact reader 30 is attached to the front open end of the intermediate case 32, and the card reader 31 is attached to the rear glass plate 22R of the partition panel 20. It is inserted through the provided opening 22a, and the side surface of the intermediate case 32 where the lead-in port 32b is formed is fixed to the cover member 25 with screws 36 (see FIG. 7). At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the reader face 31a of the front card reader 31 is arranged close to and substantially parallel to the inner surface of the front glass plate 22F, and the rear side opening of the intermediate case 32 is closed. The end portion is arranged at a position substantially flush with the outer surface of the rear glass plate 22R on the side of the opening 22a. Note that the reader face 31a of the front card reader 31 may be placed in contact with the inner surface of the front glass plate 22F.

Next, after connecting the corresponding input line A to the processing board 31d of the card reader 31 at the front through the rear open end of the intermediate case 32, the corresponding input line A is connected to the processing board 33d of the card reader 33 at the rear. connect the corresponding input line A. At this time, the connection work is performed in a state in which the attachment frame 33e of the reader chassis 33b of the card reader 33 on the rear side is fitted into the rectangular insertion hole 34a (see FIG. 4) provided in the closing member 34. FIG.

Next, the reader chassis 33 b of the rear card reader 33 is attached with screws 35 with the blocking member 34 interposed in the front open end of the intermediate case 32 . As a result, the opening 22a is closed by the outer peripheral edge of the closing member 34 from the outer surface side of the rear glass plate 22R. Finally, the reader face 33a is attached to the reader chassis 33b projecting rearward from the opening 22a.

Thus, in the panel device 1, the front card reader 31 constituting the non-contact reader 30 inserted through the opening 22a of the rear glass plate 22R is arranged on the front glass plate 22F side, and the rear card reader 33 is arranged on the front glass plate 22F side. is exposed at the position of the opening 22a of the rear glass plate 22R, the rear card reader 33 can be easily removed. Since maintenance work can be performed on the card reader 31, the maintainability of the non-contact reader 30 can be enhanced. Further, the panel device 1 is excellent in resetting operability of the non-contact reader 30 such as changing the electromagnetic wave intensity and frequency of the front and rear card readers 31 and 33 . In addition, since the front glass plate 22F is interposed between the non-contact reader 30 and the front space F, the non-contact reader 30 cannot be removed from the front space F and can be used illegally. Locking or unlocking of the electric lock 18 is prevented, and safety can be ensured.

In addition, since the front and rear card readers 31 and 33 can be attached to and detached from the front and rear of the intermediate case 32, respectively, the maintenance of the non-contact reader 30 is excellent.

In addition, since a part of the non-contact reader 30 (the closing member 34 and the card reader 33) can be projected from the opening 22a to the outer surface of the rear glass plate 22R, the front and rear glass plates 22F and 22R of the partition panel 20 can be projected. There are few restrictions on the dimensional relationship between the dimension between the opposing surfaces of the non-contact reader 30 and the thickness of the non-contact reader 30, and the degree of freedom in design is high.

Further, the front card reader 31 is not fixed to the inner surface of the front glass plate 22F, and is provided so as to be movable relative to the glass plate 22F in the plane direction of the glass plate 22F. Since the glass plate 22F and the front card reader 31 are unlikely to interfere with each other, breakage due to relative movement of the glass plates 22F, 22R and the non-contact reader 30 can be prevented.

In addition, by closing the opening 22a with the closing member 34, it is possible to prevent foreign matter such as dust from entering the space formed between the facing surfaces of the glass plates 22F and 22R. In addition, the closing member 34 closing the opening 22a is not fixed to the outer surface of the rear glass plate 22R, and the non-contact reader 30 can move relative to the glass plate 22R in the removal direction. Therefore, the glass plates 22F, 22R and the non-contact reader 30 are unlikely to interfere with each other.

The non-contact reader 30 is arranged close to the vertical rod 21 that supports the pair of front and rear glass plates 22F and 22R, and the panel device 1 has a cover member 25 that covers the input line A extending from the vertical rod 21. As a result, the input line A extending from the vertical rod 21 toward the non-contact reader 30 can be hidden, and the appearance is excellent.

Further, the cover member 25 is a metallic strength material, and the non-contact reader 30 is fixed to the vertical rod 21 via the cover member 25, thereby stably supporting the non-contact reader 30. can.

Further, the non-contact reader 30 can receive operation signals including the ID information of the IC card individually from the front space F and the rear space R of the panel device 1 by the front and rear card readers 31 and 33 . Therefore, in addition to managing the locking or unlocking operation, entry/exit management can be performed, and the security level can be enhanced. Further, since the card readers 31, 33 are arranged corresponding to the front and rear glass plates 22F, 22R, respectively, the electric lock 18 can be easily locked or unlocked from either side of the glass plates 22F, 22R. ing.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the control device 40 of the present embodiment has a first-arrival priority determination section 42 connected to the processing boards 31d, 33d of the front and rear card readers 31, 33 by an input line A. When one of the front and rear card readers 31 and 33 detects the ID information of the IC card, subsequent detection by the other card reader 31 and 33 can be suspended or rejected.

The first-arrival priority determination process performed by the control device 40 of the panel device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the first-arrival priority determination unit 42 of the control device 40, the first-arrival priority determination process is always in a standby state, and the first-arrival priority determination unit 42 receives operation signals including ID information from the front and rear card readers 31 and 33 (step S01). Then, the first-arrival priority determination unit 42 determines whether or not the electric lock 18 is being controlled by the lock control unit 41 (step S02).

When it is determined in step S02 that the electric lock 18 is not currently controlled, it is then determined whether or not the ID information is regular ID information pre-registered in the database (step S03). When it is determined that the ID information is registered, the lock controller 41 transmits an opening/closing command signal to the electric lock 18, and sets the lock control flag to "1" (step S04). After that, when the operation of the electric lock 18 ends, for example, after an unlocking command, the door panel 10 is closed and automatically locked, and when the control device 40 receives the locking information, it is determined that the lock control has ended, and the lock control flag is set. is set to "0" (step S05). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S02 that the electric lock 18 is currently being controlled, the operation signal of the card reader that arrived later is withheld (step S06), and when the lock control ends in step S05, step Steps after S02 are executed.

Further, when it is determined in step S02 that the lock control is being performed, the operation signal of the card reader operated later is withheld. As a result, a signal for locking or unlocking the electric lock 18 can be output only by detection of the ID information of the IC card by either one of the card readers 31 and 33 before and after the panel. Even if an IC card is operated from the front and back of the device 1, malfunction does not occur.

In step S06, the operation signal of the card reader that arrived later may be discarded as rejected, instead of being held.

Moreover, the first-arrival priority determination unit is not limited to being provided in the control device 40, and may be provided in the non-contact reader 30. In this case, the processing boards of the front and rear card readers are electrically connected to each other. preferably.
