Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a locker device that can deliver goods by using a box space in a plurality of group units.

Background Art

[0002] In the buying and selling of goods, when purchasing goods on the Internet, or with the development of auction sites on the Internet, free market apps, etc., the opportunity to directly hand over goods from the seller to the buyer has been decreasing. Furthermore, due to the convenience of the purchaser, the desire for the goods to be delivered to their home is also increasing.

[0003] As a means of delivering goods to the home, it is common to use a courier service. Courier services have inconvenient points such as the need for packing work and address entry work on the seller's side, and the need for the purchaser to be at home at the designated time on the purchaser's side.

[0004] Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent No. 3560327), a locker system has been proposed in which goods purchased on the Internet or at stores such as department stores are delivered to a delivery locker installed in a public facility such as the nearest station, convenience store, or post office designated by the purchaser.

[0005] In the locker system of Patent Document 1, it is a system in which the purchaser designates the locker to be used and the seller (or courier company) stores the goods there. That is, since the seller of the conventional locker system has to store the goods in a locker at a location convenient for the purchaser, it may take time and effort for the seller to store the goods. In particular, when the seller is an ordinary individual, it is extremely difficult to store the goods in a locker designated according to the convenience of the purchaser, and a delivery system that can be easily used by individual sellers is required.

[0006] Therefore, the applicant is considering that a seller of goods rents one or more box spaces of a rental locker, stores the goods in the rented box space, and sells them.

[0007] When a seller of goods rents one or more box spaces of a rental locker, stores the goods in the rented box space, and sells them, when the management company that manages the rental locker lends the rental locker to the seller, it cleans each box space, checks whether the sensors and the electronic lock operate normally, and performs maintenance if necessary before lending it out.

[0008] On the other hand, it is considered normal for a seller who rents box spaces to rent not only one box space but a plurality of box spaces. In this case, in a rental locker having a plurality of box spaces, it is convenient for management that the box spaces are not rented at scattered positions but are in a concentrated place.

[0009] However, as described above, it is time-consuming for the management company to clean, inspect, and maintain each box space by opening the doors one by one. For a seller who rents a plurality of box spaces, cleaning, inspection, and replenishment of goods are also required for each box space. In this case as well, it is time-consuming to perform each operation by opening the doors one by one. Also, if the seller tries to perform these operations simultaneously in a plurality of box spaces, it is conceivable that other users will be waiting in line to unlock or be interrupted, making it difficult to work calmly. Furthermore, there is also a security problem if the seller leaves the unlocked box space.

[0010] Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 49-6631) and Patent Document 3, there has already been disclosed a configuration in which a unlocking device dedicated to a manager or a handle dedicated to a manager is provided so that a row of box spaces extending in the vertical direction can be unlocked simultaneously with respect to the box spaces provided in multiple stages of rental lockers.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0012] In the content disclosed in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 53-27037), a shaft extending in the vertical direction is provided so that all the box spaces in a row in the vertical direction can be unlocked simultaneously, and this shaft is provided so as to be interlocked with the cylinder locks of all the box spaces of the locker devices in a vertical row. Therefore, the locker manager can unlock all of the box spaces in a vertical row at once.

[0013] On the other hand, when a seller rents a box space, there are cases where the seller rents not all of the box spaces in a vertical row but some of the box spaces in a vertical row. In such a case, if all the box spaces in a vertical row are unlocked at once, the box spaces rented by another seller will also be unlocked, which causes inconvenience. For this reason, there is a problem that a configuration in which only an arbitrary box space among the box spaces in a vertical row can be unlocked at once is desired.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0014] Therefore, the present invention is made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a locker device capable of simultaneously unlocking only an arbitrary box space among a vertically arranged row of box spaces.

[0015] According to the locker device of the present invention, in a locker device having a plurality of box spaces, each of the box spaces includes a door and a locking device for locking the door. Each of the locking devices includes a forced unlocking lever disposed at a location hidden from the outside, and a rod disposed at a location hidden from the outside, which is attached to the forced unlocking lever and extends in the vertical direction and has a length that does not contact other rods attached to the forced unlocking levers of other locking devices arranged in the vertical direction. Each of the rods is provided so as to be connectable to other rods attached to the forced unlocking levers of other locking devices arranged in the vertical direction, and the upper end portion of the rod provided in the uppermost box space among each of the box spaces and / or the lower end portion of the rod provided in the lowermost box space among each of the box spaces are A physical key held only by the administrator arranged in a management space that can be opened and closed only with a management key, which is characterized in that. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to connect the rods of an arbitrary number of box spaces located below to the rod of the uppermost box space and / or connect the rods of an arbitrary number of box spaces located above to the rod of the lowermost box space. By operating the rod of the uppermost box space and / or the rod of the lowermost box space, the rods connected to the rod of the uppermost box space and / or the rod of the lowermost box space operate, and it is possible to simultaneously unlock the box spaces corresponding to the operated rods.

[0016] Further, it may be characterized in that each of the rods is provided so as to be connectable by a connecting rod for connecting between the rods arranged in the vertical direction.

[0017] Further, each of the rods may be configured to be telescopically extendable and retractable in the vertical direction and connectable to other rods arranged in the vertical direction.

Advantages of the Invention

[0020] According to the present invention, a locker device capable of simultaneously unlocking only an arbitrary box space among a vertical row of box spaces can be provided.

[0022] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a front view of the rocker device of this embodiment. The locker device 10 shown here has four horizontal rows, each with five box spaces 12 arranged vertically, with the right-hand row as viewed from the front having three box spaces 12 arranged vertically. An operation panel 14 is provided above the right-hand row as viewed from the front.

[0023] In Figure 1, the two rows of box spaces 12 on the right side as viewed from the front are formed as wider spaces than the three rows of box spaces 12 on the left side. This is a configuration in which box spaces 12 of various sizes are provided within one locker device 10 so that products of various shapes and sizes can be stored, but the locker device 10 is not limited to this configuration. Furthermore, the number of box spaces 12 is not limited to that shown in FIG.

[0024] The operation panel 14 provided on the locker device 10 can be a touch panel type liquid crystal panel, and serves as both a display section and an operation section. The operation panel 14 can inform sellers and buyers of the status of the box space 12 or display operating instructions to the sellers and buyers.

[0025] Each box space 12 is provided with a door 16 that opens and closes with a hinge 18 and a locking device 20. The lock device 20 is provided inside the housing on the open side opposite to the side where the hinge 18 of the door 16 is provided, and is located in a position that cannot be seen from the outside. Note that the tablet device 20 of the present embodiment employs the same tablet device 20 for all box spaces 12 of different sizes.

[0026] The configuration of the tablet device 20 is shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. FIG. 2 shows the unlocked state, FIG. 3 shows the state with the door closed, and FIG. 4 shows the locked state. The tablet device 20 of the present embodiment is an electronic lock, and in normal operation, a solenoid 30 locks and unlocks a latch 22 connected to a door 16.

[0027] The tip of the rod 32 of the solenoid 30 is connected to one end side 36a of the base 36 of a T-shaped lever 34 by a rotation shaft 33 so that the T-shaped lever 34 can rotate. A spring 38 is attached to the other end side 36b of the base 36 of the T-shaped lever 34. By the spring 38, the other end side 36b of the base 36 of the T-shaped lever 34 is constantly biased in the right direction of the drawing (the arrangement direction of the solenoid 30). Also, a cylindrical roller 40 is provided at the tip of the other end side 36b of the base 36 of the T-shaped lever 34.

[0028] The roller 40 at the tip of the other end side 36b of the base 36 of the T-shaped lever 34 is in contact with one end side 42a of an engagement lever 42 that engages with the latch 22. Also, an engagement portion 23 is formed at the end of the latch 22, which is bent 90 degrees from the axial direction so as to extend in a direction perpendicular to the drawing.

[0029] The engagement lever 42 has a recess 44 formed at the other end side 42b that can accommodate the engagement portion 23 of the latch 22. A rotation shaft 46 that supports the engagement lever 42 so that it can rotate freely is provided in the middle of the engagement lever 42. As shown in FIG. 2, at the time of unlocking, the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42 is inclined so as to be positioned below the one end side 42a. This is due to the fact that the position of the rotation shaft 46 is located on the one end side 42a with respect to the center of gravity of the engagement lever 42.

[0030] In addition, a sensor 50 for detecting the position of the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42 is provided inside the tablet device 20. As shown in FIG. 3, when the latch 22 engages with the engagement lever 42 and the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42 rises, the sensor 50 detects the wide portion 49 formed on the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42.

[0031] The sensor 50 is connected to a control unit 60 that controls the overall operation of the locker device 10, and outputs a detection signal to the control unit 60 when detecting the wide portion 49 of the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42. In addition, the control unit 60 is also connected to the solenoid 30 and outputs a control signal for operating the solenoid 30.

[0032] When the door 16 is closed, as shown in FIG. 3, the latch 22 moves in the direction of the engagement lever (left direction in the drawing), and the engaging portion 23 of the latch 22 abuts on the one-end side surface 44a of the recess 44 of the engagement lever 42. The one-end side surface 44a of the recess 44 is formed as an inclined surface that inclines toward the one-end side 42a of the engagement lever 42 as it goes downward. For this reason, when the latch 22 abuts on the one-end side surface 44a formed as the inclined surface and moves in the direction of the engagement lever (left direction in the drawing), the engagement lever 42 rotates counterclockwise about the rotation axis 46 in the drawing.

[0033] When the engagement lever 42 rotates counterclockwise and is positioned so as to be substantially horizontal, the wide portion 49 of the engagement lever 42 is detected by the sensor 50. The control unit 60 that has detected the rotation of the engagement lever 42 by the sensor 50 sends a signal to the solenoid 30 Control signal and outputs it. Control signal Upon receiving this, the solenoid 30 drives in the direction of extending the rod 32. Then, the T-shaped lever 34 rotates counterclockwise, and the roller 40 on the other end side 36b of the base 36 is disposed on the upper surface of the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, when the roller 40 of the T-shaped lever 34 is disposed on the upper surface of the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42, the latch 22 is locked so as not to move.

[0034] In addition, a lock sensor 55 is provided to detect one end 36a of the base 36 of the T-shaped lever 34 when it is in the locked position. The lock sensor 55 is connected to the control unit 60. The lock sensor 55 detects the one end side 36a of the base 36 of the T-shaped lever 34 when the roller 40 of the T-shaped lever 34 is positioned on the upper surface of the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42, and outputs a detection signal to the control unit 60. When the control unit 60 receives the detection signal from the lock sensor 55, it displays that the box spaces 12 are locked on the lock display units 58 provided in the respective box spaces 12. An LED or the like can be used as the lock display unit 58, and is controlled by the control unit 60 so that it displays red when locked and turns off or displays green when unlocked.

[0035] The lock is normally unlocked by, for example, a purchaser or seller of a product who possesses an unlocking key holding an unlocking key such as a QR code (registered trademark) over a reading unit (not shown), causing the control unit 60 to output an operating signal to the solenoid 30 of the corresponding box space 12. Upon receiving the operation signal, the solenoid 30 operates in a direction to pull (retract) the rod 32. Then, the T-shaped lever 34 rotates clockwise around the rotation shaft 33 against the biasing force of the spring 38, and the roller 40 on the other end 36b of the base 36 comes off the top surface of the other end 42b of the engaging lever 42. The engaging lever 42 then becomes free, and the other end 42b rotates downward, causing the engaging portion 23 of the latch 22 to come off the recess 44. This releases the lock and allows the door 16 to be opened.

[0036] When the lock is released, the lock sensor 55 no longer detects the one end side 36a of the base portion 36 of the T-shaped lever 34, and therefore the control unit 60 no longer receives a detection signal from the lock sensor 55. At this time, the control unit 60 controls the lock display unit 58 to be turned off or to display green.

[0037] This section explains forced unlocking (manual unlocking without using an unlocking key). The T-shaped lever 34 is provided with a forced unlocking lever 52 (the unlocking lever referred to in the claims) that extends in a direction orthogonal to the base 36. A seller or administrator who attempts to manually unlock instead of reading the unlocking key manually pushes up the forced unlocking lever 52 from the locked state. Then, even if the solenoid 30 is not driven, the T-shaped lever 34 rotates clockwise about the rotation shaft 33 against the biasing force of the spring 38, and the roller 40 on the other end side 36b of the base 36 disengages from the upper surface of the other end side 42b of the engagement lever 42. Then, the engagement lever 42 becomes free and rotates so that the other end side 42b descends, and the engagement portion 23 of the latch 22 disengages from the recess 44. As a result, the lock is released and the door 16 can be opened.

[0038] Hereinafter, a configuration for connecting the forced unlocking levers to perform simultaneous unlocking will be described. In the present embodiment, in the box spaces 12 arranged in the vertical direction, a plurality of box spaces 12 can be grouped for each column and unlocked simultaneously. In order to simultaneously unlock a plurality of box spaces, as shown in FIG. 5, a rod 70 having a predetermined length extending in the vertical direction is attached to each forced unlocking lever 52. The rod 72 attached to the forced unlocking lever 52 located at the lowermost part extends downward longer than the other rods 70, and is provided such that the lower end portion of the rod 72 is located within the management space 74.

[0039] The management space 74 is closed by a door 75 that can be unlocked only by the administrator of the locker device 10 or a seller who has borrowed a plurality of box spaces 12 in the corresponding column. The locking device of the door 75 may have a known configuration that can be locked with a physical key, and only the administrator or a seller who has borrowed a plurality of box spaces 12 in the corresponding column holds the key.

[0040] Also, each rod 70 and rod 72 are stored within a rod management space 76, and the rod management space 76 is blocked by a door 77 that can only be unlocked by the administrator of the locker device 10. The locking device of the door 77 may be of a known configuration that can be locked with a physical key, and only the administrator has the key (Management key) in their possession.

[0041] The administrator opens the rod management space 76 and connects the rod 70 based on the number of box spaces borrowed by the seller. For example, if the seller wants to borrow five box spaces, all of the rods 70 and the bottom rod 72 are connected. Also, for example, if the seller wants to borrow three box spaces, the lower three rods are connected. That is, for the rod 72 arranged in the management space 74, the rod 70 of the box space 12 that the seller wants to borrow is connected one by one.

[0042] An embodiment in which all of the rods 70 and the bottom rod 72 are connected is shown in FIG. 6. Since the rods 70 and 72 are spaced apart from each other, the connection between the rods is performed using a connecting rod 71. The connecting rod 71 is arranged between the rods 70 and between the rod 70 and the rod 72 and has a structure that can connect the rods 70 or the rod 70 and the rod 72. In this way, by connecting all of the rods 70 and 72, all of the forced unlocking levers 52 can be operated by operating the connected single rod, and all of the box spaces 12 in a vertical row can be unlocked simultaneously. The operation of the rod for simultaneous unlocking can be executed by opening the management space 74 and operating the bottom rod 72.

[0043] Also, for example, FIG. 7 shows an embodiment in which the rods of the lower three box spaces 12 in a vertical row of box spaces are connected using a connecting rod 71. The connection between the rods is performed using a connecting rod 71. In this way, by connecting the three rods below, by operating the single connected rod, the three forced unlocking levers 52 below can be operated, and the three box spaces 12 in the lower part of the vertical row can be unlocked simultaneously. The operation of the rod for simultaneous unlocking can be executed by opening the management space 74 and operating the lowermost rod 72. Also, in this embodiment, since the two box spaces 12 above are not included in the objects of simultaneous unlocking, each will be rented by separate vendors.

[0044] In FIGS. 5 to 7, an example in which the management space 74 is provided at the lowermost part of the vertical row of box spaces 12 has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the management space 74 may be provided at the uppermost part of the vertical row of box spaces 12. In this case, the rod 72 attached to the forced unlocking lever 52 of the uppermost box space 12 is formed longer than the other rods 70 so as to protrude into the management space 74.

[0045] According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, when a vendor wants to rent a plurality of box spaces 12, the rod 70 of the box space 12 to be rented is connected to the uppermost rod 72. The operation of the rod for simultaneous unlocking can be executed by opening the management space 74 and operating the uppermost rod 72.

[0046] Also, as shown in FIG. 9, the management space 74 may be provided at both the uppermost and lowermost parts of the vertical row of box spaces 12. In the case of this embodiment, the uppermost rod 72 and the lowermost rod 72 are formed longer than the other rods 70 and protrude into the uppermost management space 74 and the lowermost management space 74, respectively.

[0047] According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, among the vertical row of box spaces, two vendors can each rent a plurality of box spaces 12. Here, since five box spaces are arranged vertically in a column, for example, by connecting the upper two rods and the lower three rods, the seller who has borrowed the upper two box spaces 12 can unlock the upper two box spaces 12 all at once by operating the uppermost rod 72, and the seller who has borrowed the lower three box spaces 12 can unlock the lower three box spaces all at once by operating the lowermost rod 72.

[0048] Next, the end of the rod 72 protruding into the management space 74 will be described. As described above, for the management space 74, only the administrator or the seller who has borrowed a plurality of box spaces in the corresponding column can open the door 75. Furthermore, it is advisable to provide the rod 72 in the management space 74 so that only the administrator or the seller who has borrowed a plurality of box spaces in the corresponding column can operate it.

[0049] FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which a keyhole is formed at the end of the rod 72 in the management space 74. The rod 72 shown here is a member formed in an L-shaped cross-section. A hole 80 for inserting the tightening portion 82a of the lock 82 is formed on one surface of the L-shape. In addition, in the management space 74, a fastening portion 84 fastened to the rod 72 by the lock 82 is provided. The fastening portion 84 is provided so as to be parallel to the surface 72a of the L-shaped rod 72 where the hole 80 is formed, and a hole 86 for inserting the tightening portion 82a of the lock 82 is formed at a position communicating with the hole 80 of the rod 72.

[0050] The lock 82 can be of any type. For example, it can be of a type that uses a key, turns a dial, electronically enters a password, or any other type. Only the administrator or the seller who has borrowed a plurality of box spaces in the corresponding column shall own the key to open the lock 82 or know the numbers on the dial, the password, etc.

[0051] During normal times (when there is no need to operate the rod), the rod 72 and the holes 80 and 86 of both the fastening part 84 are fastened through the tightening part 82a of the lock 82 to prevent the rod 72 from operating. When the administrator or the seller who has borrowed multiple box spaces in the corresponding row attempts to unlock them all when cleaning or inspecting the multiple box spaces 12, the door 75 of the management space 74 is opened, and then the lock 82 is unlocked to release the fastening between the rod 72 and the fastening part 84 in the management space 74. Then, the administrator or the seller who has borrowed multiple box spaces in the corresponding row operates the rod 72, operates the forced unlocking lever 52 connected to the rod 72, and unlocks the multiple box spaces 12 all at once.

[0052] Next, the rod will be described. The rods 70 and 72 can have any shape or structure as long as they are connectable. For example, an L-shaped member can be preferably used as described above.

[0053] Fig. 11 shows an explanatory diagram of an L-shaped rod 70 and L-shaped connecting rods 71 connected to the upper and lower parts of the rod 70 respectively. The rod 70 extending in the vertical direction is attached to the forced unlocking lever 52 extending in the substantially horizontal direction. To operate the forced unlocking lever 52 in the vertical direction by the vertical movement of the rod 70, the rod 70 and the forced unlocking lever 52 are not completely fixed, but the rod 70 is attached to be rotatable with respect to the forced unlocking lever 52. Specifically, the rod 70 and the forced unlocking lever 52 are attached to be rotatable with respect to each other by a rotation pin 90.

[0054] In addition, mounting holes 88 for connecting with the connecting rods 71 are formed at the upper and lower end portions of the rod 70. Also, mounting holes 89 for connecting with the rod 70 are formed at the upper and lower end portions of the connecting rods 71. When connecting the rod 70 and the connecting rod 71, the rod 70 and the connecting rod 71 are overlapped so that the mounting holes 88, 89 communicate with each other. Then, bolts (not shown) are inserted into each of the communicating mounting holes 88, 89 and fixed with nuts (not shown). This connects the rod 70 and the connecting rod 71.

[0055] Next, an embodiment in which the rod is not L-shaped will be described. FIG. 12 illustrates the case where the rod has a columnar or cylindrical shape. The rod 70 shown here is columnar or cylindrical and extends vertically, and is attached to the forced unlocking lever 52, which extends substantially horizontally, by a pivot pin (not shown). Therefore, the forced unlocking lever 52 can be moved vertically by the vertical movement of the rod 70.

[0056] 12, a protrusion 92 that protrudes upward is formed on the upper end surfaces of the rod 70 and the connecting rod 71. In addition, a recess 93 into which the protrusion 92 is inserted is formed on the lower end surfaces of the rod 70 and the connecting rod 71. In order to prevent the protrusion 92 and the recess 93 from easily coming off, it is advisable to adjust the outer diameter of the protrusion 92 and the inner diameter of the recess 93 so that the protrusion 92 fits into the recess 93. Also, an engaging portion (not shown) that can engage between the outer wall surface of the protrusion 92 and the inner wall surface of the recess 93 may be provided.

[0057] Next, we will explain the configuration in which the connecting rod is stored in a rod so that it can be extended and contracted, and the connecting rod can extend from the rod to connect with another rod. Note that the rod 70 is attached to the forced unlocking lever 52, but the forced unlocking lever 52 is omitted in Figure 13. The left side of Figure 13 shows a cylindrical rod in which a connecting rod 71 is housed within the rod 70. The right side of Figure 13 shows the connecting rod 71 extended. The connecting rod 71 housed within the rod 70 has a length that allows it to be extended and connected to another adjacent rod 70.

[0058] In FIG. 13, the connecting rod 71 is provided so as to be extended upward, and a recess 93 into which the tip of another connecting rod 71 is inserted is formed on the lower end surface of the rod 70 that telescopically houses the connecting rod 71. Note that the outer diameter of the connecting rod 71 and the inner diameter of the recess 93 may be adjusted so that the connecting rod 71 and the recess 93 do not easily come off. Also, an engaging portion (not shown) that can engage between the outer wall surface of the connecting rod 71 and the inner wall surface of the recess 93 may be provided.

[0059] Note that although the rod 72 protruding into the management space 74 needs to be provided with the connecting rod 71 so as to be telescopic, there is no need to provide a recess 93 for inserting another connecting rod 71.
