Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an entrance storage box and an entrance storage system using the entrance storage box. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, it is known that key storage devices capable of storing keys to evacuation buildings and the like are installed in schools and parks designated as evacuation sites in the event of a disaster (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This key storage device is equipped with a storage battery that is charged by a solar cell, a solenoid that is driven by the power of the storage battery when an emergency push button is pressed, and a lighting fixture that is turned on by the power of the storage battery, and the door of the key storage device can be unlocked by the solenoid.

[0003] During the day, sunlight is used to charge the storage battery with solar cells. This charged power can be used to turn on lighting fixtures or unlock doors with solenoids. At night or during a power outage, evacuees can recognize the location of the key storage device by the lighting of the lighting fixtures, unlock the door of the key storage device, take out the key, and evacuate into an evacuation building. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-8800 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Patent Document 1 describes a key storage device that stores stored items such as keys in a disaster evacuation site and uses charged power to turn on lighting fixtures and unlock locks during a power outage, etc. However, there is a demand for an entrance storage box to be installed in the entrance of a home, for example, that can store stored items and allows the use of power devices during a power outage, etc. In this case, items to be stored in the entrance could include not only various keys such as the entrance key and car keys, but also disaster prevention supplies such as flashlights and work gloves, various small items such as seals, etc.

[0006] In recent years, with the spread of hybrid cars and electric cars, it is considered to use car batteries as household power sources. Therefore, by storing car keys and other items in a storage box at the entrance, wiring work to use the car battery as a household power source during a power outage can be carried out smoothly, so from this point of view, it is strongly desired to install a storage box at the entrance.

[0007] The key storage device described in Patent Document 1 is intended to be installed at least outdoors because it is intended to be installed at a disaster evacuation site and uses solar cells. However, simply installing the key storage device described in Patent Document 1 indoors, such as at the entrance, can cause new problems, such as the inability to charge the storage battery.

[0008] In view of this situation, the main object of the present invention is to provide a hallway storage box that enables the use of electric appliances at the entrance of a home during a power outage, and a hallway storage system that uses the hallway storage box. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] A first characteristic configuration of the present invention is a storage device comprising a housing having a storage space capable of storing an object to be stored, and a door for opening and closing the storage space in the housing, In addition to the storage space, the housing unit is provided with a commercial power supply unit that receives power from a commercial power source, and an emergency power supply unit that can supply emergency power when the supply of power from the commercial power source is stopped.

[0010] According to this configuration, since the housing is equipped with a commercial power supply unit, the lighting unit and other power devices can be used with the power from the commercial power source received by the commercial power supply unit. Therefore, the entrance storage box is not only used for storing objects to be stored, but can also be used as a power source unit for using power devices. For example, when the lighting unit is used with power from the commercial power supply unit, it can also illuminate the storage space of the housing, making it easy to store and remove objects even at night.

[0011] The housing is equipped with not only a commercial power supply unit but also an emergency power supply unit, so that the emergency power of the emergency power supply unit can be effectively used during a power outage, etc. For example, the housing can be illuminated with a lighting unit or the like to make it possible to identify the installation location of the housing, and various other power devices can also be used.

[0012] A second characteristic feature of the present invention is that the housing unit is installed in a buried state with at least a portion of it buried in the wall of the entrance.

[0013] According to this configuration, the housing is installed in a buried state with at least a part of it buried in the wall of the entrance, so the amount of protrusion from the wall of the entrance can be kept small, and it is possible to prevent it from interfering with the passage of people. In addition, by keeping the amount of protrusion small, it is possible to improve the appearance and improve the design.

[0014] A third characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the housing portion and the door portion are provided with a radio wave leakage prevention portion that prevents radio waves from leaking to the outside from the storage object stored in the storage space.

[0015] In recent years, cars equipped with keyless entry systems that automatically open and close the car doors and start the engine by sending and receiving radio waves between the car body and the key have become widespread. As a result, there have been cases of car thefts that have been caused by misuse of this keyless entry system. The radio waves that are constantly emitted from the car key are weak, and normally cannot be detected unless you get close to the car. However, there have been cases of car thefts that use a so-called relay attack, which uses special equipment to catch and amplify the weak radio waves and relay them to the car body, making it possible to unlock the doors and start the engine.

[0016] Therefore, when storing car keys or the like in a front door storage box, it is desirable to prevent relay attacks. Therefore, according to this configuration, by providing a radio wave leakage prevention unit in the housing unit and the door unit, it is possible to prevent radio waves emitted by the car key or the like from leaking to the outside, thereby preventing relay attacks.

[0017] A fourth characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the housing unit is provided with a normal lighting unit that can be turned on by electric power from a commercial power source received by the commercial power supply unit, and an emergency lighting unit that can be turned on by electric power from the emergency power source unit, The emergency lighting unit is disposed in a lit state facing the front side of the wall unit.

[0018] According to this configuration, the normal lighting unit can be freely lit using power from the commercial power source received by the commercial power supply unit. Therefore, as long as power is being supplied from the commercial power source, the light from the normal lighting unit can be used to easily store and remove items, even at night, for example.

[0019] The emergency lighting unit can be turned on using power from the emergency power supply unit, and lights up facing the front side of the wall unit. Therefore, in the event of a power outage, the light from the emergency lighting unit can be used to easily identify the locations of the housing unit and door unit, while also allowing for smooth removal of stored items from the housing unit.

[0020] A fifth characteristic configuration of the present invention is a lighting device, wherein the housing includes an illumination unit that is arranged in a lit state toward a front side of the wall, The front portion of the housing or the door is provided with a light-storing section that stores at least a portion of the light emitted by the lighting section and then is capable of emitting the stored light.

[0021] According to this configuration, since the lighting unit lights up toward the front side of the wall unit, the location of the housing unit or the door unit can be easily recognized by using the light from the lighting unit at night or during a power outage. Moreover, the light-storing unit provided in the front part of the housing unit or the door unit stores at least a part of the light turned on by the lighting unit and then emits the stored light, so that the light-storing unit can continue to illuminate even after the lighting unit is turned off. For example, even if the lighting unit is turned off before a user or the like reaches the location of the housing unit or the door unit, the light from the light-storing unit continues, and the user or the like can reach the location of the housing unit or the door unit.

[0022] A sixth characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the housing unit is provided with an emergency power output unit that outputs emergency power from the emergency power supply unit to an entrance power device installed at an entrance.

[0023] According to this configuration, the emergency power output unit outputs emergency power to the entrance power device, so that the entrance power device can be used using the emergency power during a power outage, etc. This eliminates the need for a dedicated backup power source or the like for the entrance power device, simplifying the configuration and reducing costs. As an entrance power device, for example, a keyless entrance door that transmits and receives radio waves between the entrance door and the key to lock and unlock the entrance door without using a key can be applied.

[0024] A seventh characteristic feature of the present invention is an entrance storage system that uses the entrance storage box described in any one of the first to sixth characteristic features.

[0025] With this configuration, the entrance storage box can be used to provide a useful system that allows the use of lighting and various other power devices not only during normal times when power is received from a commercial power source, but also during a power outage when the power supply from the commercial power source is stopped.

[0027] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an entrance storage box according to the present invention and an entrance storage system using the entrance storage box will be described with reference to the drawings. This entrance storage system is a system in which an entrance storage box 1 is installed at the entrance, and while storing items, it is possible to use the lighting section 9 (see Figure 5) of the entrance storage box 1 and various other power devices not only during normal times when power is supplied from a commercial power source, but also during a power outage when the power supply from the commercial power source is stopped.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 1, the entrance storage box 1 is installed on a wall 2 of the entrance, and as shown in Fig. 2, it is equipped with a housing 3 having a storage space 4 capable of storing objects, and a door 5 for opening and closing the storage space 4 in the housing 3. Fig. 1 shows the entrance storage box 1 installed on the wall 2 of the entrance with the door 5 in a closed state, and Fig. 2 shows the entrance storage box 1 with the door 5 in an open state, with the wall 2 of the entrance omitted.

[0029] Regarding directions, the front side of the wall 2 and the entrance storage box 1 corresponds to the diagonally lower left side in Figures 1 and 2, but will be abbreviated to "front side" in the following description. The rear side of the wall 2 and the entrance storage box 1 corresponds to the diagonally upper right side in Figures 1 and 2, but will be abbreviated to "rear side" in the following description. In addition, the up-down direction and the left-right direction will be defined based on the front view of the entrance storage box 1.

[0030] 1 and 2, the housing 3 is provided with a rectangular box portion 31 that protrudes rearward from the wall 2 and is surrounded in the up-down and left-right directions and on the rear side with the front side open, and a flange portion 32 that is provided at the front end of the box portion 31 and extends in the up-down and left-right directions beyond the box portion 31. The internal space of the box portion 31 serves as a storage space 4, and various storage objects can be stored in this storage space 4.

[0031] 5, the housing unit 3 is installed on the wall unit 2 with the rear surface of the flange unit 32 abutting against the front surface of the wall unit 2, with the flange unit 32 positioned forward of the wall unit 2 and the box unit 31 positioned rearward of the wall unit 2. In this manner, the housing unit 3 is installed in an embedded state with the box unit 31 embedded in the wall unit 2 of the entranceway.

[0032] 1 and 2, the door section 5 is formed in the same rectangular shape and size as the flange section 32 of the housing section 3. As shown in Fig. 2, a pair of upper and lower hinges 52 are provided on the left side of the door section 5 and the flange section 32 of the housing section 3, and the door section 5 is provided so as to be able to swing about an axis along the up-down direction relative to the housing section 3 by the pair of upper and lower hinges 52. A handle section 51 is provided on the right side of the door section 5, which allows a user or the like to open and close the door section 5.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 2, the flange 32 of the housing 3 is provided with a closed state retaining portion 53 on the right side thereof for retaining the door 5 in a closed state. As shown in Fig. 4, the closed state retaining portion 53 retains the door 5 in a closed state, for example, by using the magnetic force of a magnet 53a. As shown in Fig. 2, a magnetic body 53b such as a metal is disposed on the right side of the door 5 at a position corresponding to the magnet 53a on the flange 32 side.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 2, hook portions 36 capable of supporting keys or the like by hanging them are provided on the rear surface of the box portion 31 and the rear surface of the door portion 5 in the housing portion 3. A plurality of hook portions 36 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction on the rear surface of the box portion 31 and the rear surface of the door portion 5, and on the rear surface of the box portion 31, the plurality of hook portions 36 arranged in the left-right direction are arranged in a plurality of rows at intervals in the up-down direction. Fig. 2 shows a state in which ring portions of keys or the like are supported by hanging them on some of the plurality of hook portions 36.

[0035] Various items can be stored in the storage space 4 in the housing portion 3, including not only various keys such as front door keys and car keys that can be stored by hanging them from the hook portion 36, but also disaster prevention items such as flashlights and gloves, and various small items such as seals.

[0036] 2, the rear surface, upper and lower surface parts, left and right surface parts of the box portion 31, and the rear surface of the door portion 5 are all provided with radio wave leakage prevention parts 8 that prevent radio waves from leaking out from objects stored in the storage space 4 to the outside. The radio wave leakage prevention parts 8 are provided in the form of, for example, aluminum sheets embedded in each surface part, and are provided in a state that covers the storage space 4 in all directions, including the up and down directions, left and right directions, and front and back directions.

[0037] This prevents radio waves emitted by the car keys or the like from leaking out, even when the car keys or the like are stored in the storage space 4. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately prevent car theft using a so-called relay attack, which uses special equipment to catch and amplify weak radio waves and relays the radio waves to the vehicle body, making it possible to unlock the doors and start the engine.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 4, the housing unit 3 is provided with a commercial power supply unit 6 that receives power from a commercial power source, and an emergency power supply unit 71 that can supply emergency power when the supply of power from the commercial power source is stopped.

[0039] The commercial power supply unit 6 is disposed on the lower left side of the box unit 31 in the housing unit 3 as shown in Fig. 4, and is configured as an outlet to which a power cable 61 from a commercial power source is connected. The commercial power supply unit 6 has an exposed surface 63 exposed inside the box unit 31 as shown in Fig. 3, and insertion units 62 such as power plugs are disposed on the exposed surface 63, one above and one below.

[0040] 4, the emergency power supply unit 71 is composed of, for example, a plurality of rechargeable dry batteries 72, and is built into the control unit 7. The control unit 7 is composed of a cubic unit (see FIG. 3) that incorporates not only the emergency power supply unit 71, but also a control unit (not shown), etc.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 3, a power plug 73 that can be freely inserted into the socket 62 of the commercial power supply unit 6 is provided at one end (left end) of the control unit 7 in the left-right direction. As shown in Fig. 4, power from the commercial power source is supplied to the control unit 7 by inserting the power plug 73 of the control unit 7 into the socket 62 on the lower side of the commercial power supply unit 6. The control unit 7 charges the rechargeable battery 72 of the commercial power supply unit 6 using power from the commercial power source. A charging lamp unit 74 that indicates that the rechargeable battery 72 is being charged and a full charge lamp unit 75 that indicates that the rechargeable battery 72 is in a fully charged state are provided on the front of the control unit 7. Incidentally, the charging lamp unit 74 and the full charge lamp unit 75 are omitted in Figs. 2 and 3.

[0042] When the power plug 73 of the control unit 7 is inserted into the plug-in portion 62 of the commercial power supply unit 6, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, positioning portions 33, 34, and 35 are provided for positioning the control unit 7 at the plug-in position. Fig. 2 shows the control unit 7 installed at the plug-in position, and Fig. 3 shows the control unit 7 removed from the housing 3. This allows the control unit 7 to be positioned at an appropriate plug-in position, the power plug 73 to be appropriately inserted into the plug-in portion 62, and the plugged-in state to be appropriately maintained, so that power can be stably supplied to the control unit 7. As shown in Fig. 4, the control unit 7 positioned at the plug-in position is fixed to the plug-in position by a screw 76. A screw receiving portion for receiving the screw 76 is provided on the lower left side of the box portion 31 in the housing 3, but is not shown in Fig. 3 and the like.

[0043] As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the positioning units 33, 34, and 35 include a front positioning unit 33, a rear positioning unit 34, and a mounting support unit 35, which position the control unit 7 in the insertion position by restricting the position of the control unit 7 in the front-rear and up-down directions. The front positioning unit 33 is formed of a protruding piece protruding from the front end of the exposed surface portion 63 of the commercial power supply unit 6, and restricts the position of the control unit 7 toward the front side by abutting against the front surface of the control unit 7. The rear positioning unit 34 is formed of the rear surface of the box portion 31 of the housing portion 3, and restricts the position of the control unit 7 toward the rear side by abutting against the rear surface of the control unit 7. The mounting support unit 35 supports the control unit 7, and adjusts the position in the up-down direction by supporting the control unit 7 at a position higher than the bottom surface of the box portion 31 by a predetermined height.

[0044] Although the positioning sections 33, 34, 35 are exemplified by those including the front positioning section 33, the rear positioning section 34, and the mounting support section 35, it is also possible to omit the front positioning section 33 and include only the rear positioning section 34 and the mounting support section 35, for example. In this case, the control unit 7 can be positioned at the insertion position simply by sliding the control unit 7 against the rear positioning section 34 while the control unit 7 is mounted and supported by the mounting support section 35, thereby improving operability.

[0045] 2 and 3, of the two upper and lower plug-in portions 62, the lower plug-in portion 62 is intended to be connected to the control unit 7. Therefore, by inserting a power plug of another power device into the upper plug-in portion 62, the power device can be used. In this way, during normal times when power is supplied from a commercial power source, the plug-in portion 62 of the commercial power supply unit 6 can be used freely, and for example, a smartphone or various power devices can be charged at the entrance of the home.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the mounting support part 35 has a plurality of projections spaced apart from each other, and the plurality of projections abut the lower surface of the control unit 7, thereby mounting and supporting the control unit 7 with a gap between the lower surface of the control unit 7 and the bottom surface of the box part 31. In this way, by providing a gap between the lower surface of the control unit 7 and the bottom surface of the box part 31, heat from the emergency power supply part 71 in the control unit 7 and the like is dissipated, preventing the control unit 7 and the like from becoming too hot. Although not shown in the drawings, an opening can be provided between the projections in the mounting support part 35. In this case, heat from the emergency power supply part 71 in the control unit 7 and the like can be discharged to the outside through the opening, so that heat can be dissipated effectively.

[0047] In FIG. 2, the mounting support part 35 having a plurality of protrusions is disposed on the bottom surface of the box part 31, but for example, by disposing a plurality of protrusions on the rear surface of the box part 31, heat can be dissipated from the rear surface side of the box part 31. Also, a plurality of protrusions can be disposed on the exposed surface part 63 of the box part 31. As described above, the arrangement locations of the plurality of protrusions are three surfaces, namely the bottom surface part, the rear surface part, and the exposed surface part 63 of the box part 31, but the plurality of protrusions can be disposed on one or two surfaces selected from the three surfaces or on all surfaces, and the arrangement locations of the plurality of protrusions can be appropriately changed. Also, although the plurality of protrusions are disposed on the box part 31 side, they can be disposed on the control unit 7 side instead of or in addition to this. Therefore, by providing a gap forming part that provides a gap between the control unit 7 and the box part 31, heat from the emergency power supply part 71, etc. can be dissipated, and the control unit 7, etc. can be prevented from becoming too hot.

[0048] 2 and 5, an illumination unit 9 such as an LED is disposed above the box unit 31 and the flange unit 32 in the housing unit 3. The illumination unit 9 includes a normal illumination unit 91 that lights up downward and an emergency illumination unit 92 that lights up forward.

[0049] By lighting the normal lighting section 91 facing downward, the storage space 4 inside the box section 31 can be illuminated, and the user can use the light to smoothly store and remove items even at night.

[0050] By lighting the emergency lighting section 92 facing forward, light can be projected from the entrance storage box 1 onto the front side of the wall section 2, allowing users to easily identify the location of the entrance storage box 1 even at night or during a power outage.

[0051] 4, a unit-side connector 101 on the control unit 7 side and a lighting-side connector 102 on the lighting unit 9 side are connected by a first connection cable 103. This allows power from the commercial power supply unit 6 to be supplied to the lighting unit 9 via the control unit 7, and allows emergency power from the emergency power supply unit 71 to be supplied from the control unit 7 to the lighting unit 9.

[0052] A control unit (not shown) of the control unit 7 turns on the lighting unit 9 using power from the commercial power source received by the commercial power supply unit 6 during normal times when power is being supplied from the commercial power source, and turns on the lighting unit 9 using emergency power from the emergency power source unit 71 of the control unit 7 during a power outage when the supply of power from the commercial power source is stopped.

[0053] The lighting section 9 is provided with a normal lighting section 91 and an emergency lighting section 92 which light in different directions. During normal times when power is supplied from a commercial power source, the control section of the control unit 7 uses power from the commercial power source supplied by the commercial power supply section 6 to light not only the normal lighting section 91 but also the emergency lighting section 92. On the other hand, during a power outage when the supply of power from the commercial power source is stopped, the control section of the control unit 7 uses emergency power from the emergency power supply section 71 of the control unit 7 to light only the emergency lighting section 92.

[0054] The light from the lighting unit 9 in the entranceway storage box 1 is required mainly when performing a storage task of storing an object to be stored in the storage space 4 and a removal task of removing an object to be stored in the storage space 4. Although not shown in the figures, the housing unit 3 is provided with an open / closed state detection sensor that determines whether the door unit 5 is open or closed. The open / closed state detection sensor can be configured, for example, as a proximity sensor that detects whether the door unit 5 is in the proximity position.

[0055] During normal operation when power is supplied from a commercial power source, when the open / closed state detection sensor detects that the door section 5 is open, the control section of the control unit 7 turns on the normal lighting section 91 using power from the commercial power source supplied by the commercial power supply section 6. When the open / closed state detection sensor detects that the door section 5 has switched from the open state to the closed state, the control section of the control unit 7 turns off the normal lighting section 91 and turns on the emergency lighting section 92 for a predetermined time (e.g., 30 seconds) using power from the commercial power source supplied by the commercial power supply section 6.

[0056] During a power outage when the supply of power from the commercial power source is stopped, the control section of the control unit 7 turns on the emergency lighting section 92 using emergency power from the emergency power supply section 71 of the control unit 7, regardless of whether the door section 5 is open or closed. As a result, during a power outage, light is projected from the entrance storage box 1 onto the front side of the wall section 2 regardless of whether it is day or night, making it easy to identify the installation location of the entrance storage box 1.

[0057] The emergency lighting unit 92 is turned on both during normal operation when power is supplied from a commercial power source and during a power outage when power supply from the commercial power source is stopped, but the brightness of the emergency lighting unit 92 can be made different between normal operation and during a power outage. For example, by changing the number of LEDs to be turned on, it is possible to make the unit darker during a power outage than during normal operation. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of emergency power consumed by the emergency power supply unit 71, thereby extending the time that the emergency lighting unit 92 can be kept turned on, and making effective use of the emergency lighting unit 92 during a power outage.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 5, the emergency lighting unit 92 is turned on toward the front side, and a light-storing unit 93 is disposed in front of the emergency lighting unit 92. The light-storing unit 93 is configured to store at least a part of the light turned on by the emergency lighting unit 92 and to be able to release the stored light after the emergency lighting unit 92 is turned off. As shown in FIG. 2, the light-storing unit 93 is disposed in the door unit 5 at a position corresponding to the location where the emergency lighting unit 92 is disposed. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the light-storing unit 93 is provided in a state where it is exposed to the front part of the door unit 5, and the light of the emergency lighting unit 92 reaches the front side of the wall unit 2 through the light-storing unit 93, making it possible to recognize the installation location of the entrance storage box 1. When the emergency lighting unit 92 is turned off, the light-storing unit 93 releases the stored light, so that the state in which light is projected from the entrance storage box 1 to the front side of the wall unit 2 is maintained for a predetermined time.

[0059] Various entrance power devices 10 (see FIG. 5) are installed at the entrance. For example, an entrance door device with a keyless function that locks and unlocks the entrance door without using a key by transmitting and receiving radio waves between the entrance door and a key can be applied as the entrance power device 10. Therefore, during a power outage when the supply of power from the commercial power source is stopped, emergency power can be supplied from the entrance storage box 1 to the entrance power device 10, making it an entrance storage system that can make effective use of the entrance storage box 1.

[0060] 2 and 5, a entrance power device input unit 11 and an emergency power output unit 12 are disposed on the right side of the box unit 31 in the housing unit 3. The entrance power device input unit 11 receives input of power from a commercial power source, and is connected to a power cable for supplying power from the commercial power source to the entrance power device 10.

[0061] The emergency power output unit 12 outputs emergency power from the emergency power supply unit 71 in the control unit 7 to the entrance power device 10. As shown by the dotted line in Fig. 4, the unit side connector 101 on the control unit 7 side and the emergency power output unit 12 are connected by a second connection cable 104. This makes it possible to supply emergency power from the emergency power supply unit 71 to the emergency power output unit 12 from the control unit 7.

[0062] Power from a commercial power source input to entrance power device input unit 11 is output as is from emergency power output unit 12. Therefore, during normal times when power is being supplied from the commercial power source, power from the commercial power source is supplied to entrance power device 10 via entrance storage box 1 as shown in Fig. 5. During a power outage when power supply from the commercial power source is stopped, the control unit of the control unit 7 outputs emergency power from emergency power source unit 71 from emergency power output unit 12 and supplies it to entrance power device 10.

[0063] [Another embodiment] Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. Note that the configurations of the embodiments described below are not limited to being applied alone, but may also be applied in combination with the configurations of other embodiments.

[0064] (1) In the above embodiment, the housing 3 has a rectangular shape including the box portion 31 and the flange portion 32. However, the shape of the housing 3 can be changed as appropriate.

[0065] (2) In the above embodiment, the size of the box portion 31 in the up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction can be changed as appropriate. For example, by adjusting the size in the front-rear direction, the entrance storage box 1 can be made deep or thin.
