Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a key and a key storage device that can be used in a building management system having a plurality of rooms, in which a plurality of keys are put in and taken out from a single key storing port.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a building having a plurality of rooms and different keys are prepared for each room, it is called a key security locker system, and a box for storing each key at the entrance of the building. A device is provided.

When a person who wants to enter a predetermined room takes out the key of the room, he or she inserts or passes the ID card into the operation section and then inputs the password with the ten-key pad to obtain the desired key. The lid of a predetermined box stored is opened, and a desired key is pulled out from the box, so that, for example, the power of the room to be entered or the power of the elevator is turned on.

After that, if the key of the desired room is taken out from the predetermined box, the room is reached, and the key of the room is used, it becomes possible to enter the room.

Further, when trying to get out of the room, the key should be stored by first inserting or passing the ID card into the operation section and then inputting the password with the ten-key pad, as described above. By opening the lid of the box and inserting and storing the key in the box, the power of the room that came out is turned off.

[0006]

As described above, in the conventional device, a storage box is required for each key, and in a building having a large number of independent rooms, the number of the storage boxes is large and the device is large. Inevitably, it will inevitably increase in size and price, and it will occupy a large area, resulting in low space efficiency.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and aims to reduce the size and cost of the device by collectively storing a plurality of keys in one place.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

According to the present invention, in a storage device for storing and managing a plurality of keys in a centralized manner, a lid body that is openably and closably attached to a storage opening of the key, and the key is held and conveyed inside the lid body. And a plurality of key storage members that receive and store the keys transported by the key transport member, and a key storage device.

[0010]

[Action]

According to the present invention, when a key is stored, when the lid that is openably and closably attached to the storage opening of the key is opened and the key is held by the key carrying member, the key carrying member moves. And bring the key to the key storage member. In the case where the storage member moving means is provided, a predetermined key storage member arrives at the key delivery section of the key transport member,
The key is transferred to and from the key storage portion from the key carrying member. When the key is taken out, the process reverse to the above is performed.

[0012]

1 and 2 show an embodiment of a key according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view and FIG. 2 is a side view.

In these drawings, reference numeral 2 is a grip portion of the key 1, and 3 is an operating portion. A CMOS SRAM 4 which is a self-holding random access memory is embedded in the grip portion 3. The SRAM 4 is electrically connected to lead terminals 5 provided on both sides of the grip 3, and the data is serially transferred via the lead terminals 5. In addition, 6 is a nameplate part.

Therefore, the contents stored in the SRAM 4 can be read from the lead terminal 5 of the grip 3.

FIGS. 3 to 6 show an embodiment of a key storage device according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is an external perspective view, FIG. 4 is a main part configuration diagram, FIG. 5 is a partial plan view, and FIG. It is a block diagram.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 7 is a main body of the apparatus, and a liquid crystal display device 8 is attached to a front side wall thereof, and operation guides and contents of an ID card are displayed. In addition, in order to prolong the life of the liquid crystal display device 8, the liquid crystal display device 8 is configured so that it automatically becomes inoperative 5 minutes after the start of use.

A card insertion slot 9 for inserting an ID card is provided below the liquid crystal display device 8, and a card reader is provided inside. Below the card insertion slot 9,
A keyboard 10 for inputting a password and the like is provided. On the left side of the keyboard 10, a key storage port 11 for loading and unloading the key 1 is opened, and a lid 12 is attached to the key storage port 11 so as to be openable and closable.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lid 12 is provided on the lower portion of the back of the front side wall of the apparatus main body 7, is attached to the lid support shaft 13 extending in the horizontal direction, and is automatically opened. Is configured. The lid 12 is configured to swing about 45 degrees with the lid support shaft 13 as a fulcrum.

A swinging arm 14 as a key carrying member for holding and carrying the operating portion 3 of the key 1 is provided in parallel with the lid support shaft 13 on the inner side of the key storage opening 11 obliquely below. It is attached to the arm support shaft 15 that is mounted. The key holding portion of the swing arm 14 is formed in a slit shape so as to have the spring action of the operating portion 3 of the key 1.

Below the swing arm 14, there is provided a rotary disc 16 which rotates in the horizontal direction. The grip 2 of the key 1 can be fitted inside the rotary disc 16 5
A cylindrical key storage member 18 having zero recesses 17 (key storage member) is fixed. 19 is a rotating disk 1
6 rotation axis. It should be noted that each recess 17 is provided with an address for identifying it.

A rotary shaft 19 of the rotary disk 16 is connected to a motor for driving the rotary disk 16 and is equipped with an encoder for detecting the position of each recess 17. In addition, a cylindrical cover 21 having a notch 20 in the passage portion of the key 1 is provided inside the key storage member 18 in a state of being mechanically insulated from the rotary disk 16. .

When storing the key 1, first, I
When the D card is inserted into the card insertion slot 9 and the password is entered by the keyboard 10, the lid 12 rotates counterclockwise 45 degrees with the lid support shaft 13 as a fulcrum to open it, and then the swing arm 14 opens the arm. It rotates 210 degrees counterclockwise about the support shaft 15 as a fulcrum, and stops with the slit of the key 1 facing upward.

Therefore, when the operator holds the grip portion 2 of the key 1 to be stored, inserts the operating portion 3 of the key 1 into the swing arm 14 from above, and closes the lid 12, the key 1 of the key 1 is closed. Working part 3
The rocking arm 14 holding the key rotates clockwise, and the key 1 passes through the notch 20 of the cover 21 and is stored in the recess 17. When the swing arm 14 further rotates clockwise, the key 1 rubs through the slit of the swing arm 14, and the swing arm 14 stops at a position where it does not interfere with the key 1.

An electrode is provided in each recess 17 of the key storage member 18 so that it can come into contact with the lead terminal of the SRAM 4 of the key 1. Therefore, the key 1 stored in the recess 17 is specified by reading the contents of the SRAM 4 of the stored key 1. At this time, various power sources in the room associated with the stored key 1 may be shut off.

Next, when the desired key 1 is taken out, the key 1
In the same way as when storing the ID card, first insert the ID card into the card insertion slot 9 and enter the password with the keyboard 10. Then, the lid body 12 rotates counterclockwise 45 degrees about the lid body support shaft 13 and opens. To do. At the same time, the rotary disk 16 rotates and stops in a state in which the desired key 1 is positioned below the swing arm 14 (key transfer part).

After that, when the swinging arm 14 rotates clockwise, the operating portion 3 of the desired key 1 is clamped by the slit of the swinging arm 14 and rotates as it is to the vicinity of the key storing port 11 to stop. . Then, the grip portion 2 of the key 1 is positioned on the back side of the key storage opening 11 with the grip portion 2 facing upward.

Then, the operator can obtain the desired key 1 by gripping and pulling out the grip portion 2 of the key 1 to be taken out by the operator and closing the lid 12. At this time, various power sources in the room related to the acquired key 1 may be connected. The key storage member 18 may be fixed, and the swing arm 14 may be moved to bring the key 1 into a predetermined key storage member 18 for storage.
