DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric lock device,
FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the electric lock device. As shown in FIG. 1, the electric lock device includes an electric lock 2 on a door 1. Reference numeral 3 denotes a knob, and 4 denotes a keyhole for manual unlocking. An unlocking unit 10 is attached to a side wall surface of the door 1 in a semi-embedded state. The unlocking unit 10 includes a ten-key operation unit 11
And a wireless receiving unit 12. A configuration in which a card read unit is provided instead of the numeric keypad operation unit 11 may be employed. Reference numeral 30 denotes a wireless transmitter.

Next, the circuit configuration will be described with reference to FIG.
The inside of the unlocking unit 10 is a wireless signal receiving circuit 2
0, a numeric keypad input unit 21, a microcomputer 22,
And a memory 23. The outputs of the wireless signal receiving circuit 20 and the numeric keypad input unit 21 are
2, and the memory 23 is capable of bidirectional signal exchange with the microcomputer 22. And from the microcomputer 22 to the electric lock 2,
An unlock signal of the electric lock 2 is output. The memory 23 is composed of an EEPROM or the like, and stores an ID number or the like corresponding to an ID signal included in a wireless signal for unlocking the electric lock 2, and receives a wireless signal from the wireless transmitter 30. Sometimes, an ID signal (ID code data) included in the wireless signal,
The microcomputer 22 compares the corresponding ID data in the memory 23 with the corresponding data, and outputs a release signal to the electric lock 2 if the data matches, thereby unlocking the electric lock 2. Instead of the numeric key input unit 21, a card key input unit for reading a card may be used.

Next, the registration mode will be described. The switching to the registration mode is configured such that the password is switched to the registration mode by, for example, pressing two numeric keys at the same time after inputting the password using the numeric keypad in the numeric keypad operation unit 11. The microcomputer 22 maintains the registration mode for a certain period of time thereafter. The switching to the registration mode is configured such that, in the case of unlocking by a card, the card is operated a plurality of times with the card reading unit within a short time of about several seconds to enter the registration mode. The registration mode is set only for a certain period thereafter.

When a wireless signal is received within the registration mode time, the ID signal (ID code data) is stored in the memory 23. The wireless signal may be any of a radio wave type and a light beam type, but if it is a light beam type, it can be a directional wireless signal.

In the case of a configuration having no registration mode, ID code data to be unlocked needs to be registered in the memory 23 in advance by writing or the like.

In the comparison of the ID signals, if they do not match, the number of receptions is counted by the microcomputer 22, and if an unregistered signal is received three times, an alarm sound is emitted from the unlocking unit 10. The configuration is such that security is improved.

(Operation) When the electric lock device is to be unlocked, a password is input in the numeric keypad operation unit 11 and a key (for example, an OPEN key, not shown) for completing the input is input.
Is pressed, the electric lock 2 is unlocked and the door 1 can be opened. In the case of the card operation, the electric lock 2 is unlocked and the door 1 can be opened by passing the card through a card lead portion and further inputting a password if necessary.

Next, when unlocking is performed by the wireless transmitter 30, if the ID code data is registered in the memory 23 in advance, the wireless signal is transmitted from the wireless transmitter 30 so that By receiving the wireless signal, the electric lock 2 can be unlocked. In FIG. 2, first, the wireless signal receiving circuit 20
Is transmitted to the microcomputer 22, the ID signal thereof is compared with the ID code data in the memory 23, and if they match, the unlock signal is transmitted to the electric lock 2 to release the electric lock 2. Lock.

If the ID signals do not match in the comparison of the ID signals, the number of receptions is counted by the microcomputer 22.
When the unregistered signal is received, the unlock unit 10 emits an alarm sound.

With the above configuration, the electric lock 2 can be unlocked by registering the ID code data in the memory 23 in the registration mode, even if the operation is performed by the wireless transmitter for locking the door of the car. So I can go home
Even if you get off the car and carry your luggage, you can release the electric lock 2 by holding the wireless transmitter for door lock of the car in one free hand and making a transmission operation. You can enter the house. Further, the operator does not need to have both the wireless transmitter for the car and the wireless transmitter for unlocking the door, which is convenient in management.

Further, if the above-mentioned dual-purpose wireless transmitter is a light beam type transmitter, it is possible to perform directivity transmission. For example, in order to open the door of a car, the door of the entrance is unlocked. Such inconvenience can be avoided.

The unlocking unit 10 is provided on the outside wall of the house. However, if an operation unit and a wireless receiving unit for the electric lock are separately provided on the inside of the house (in the room), the unlocking unit 10 can be used in addition to returning home when going out. However, the door 1 can be unlocked also as a wireless transmitter for car door lock.

[0025]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the electric lock of the door can be unlocked by operating a ten-key or a card, and the electric lock can be unlocked even when a wireless signal is transmitted. This has the effect that it can be performed.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the wireless signal is a light-type wireless signal, it can be a wireless signal having good directivity, and the wireless signal is less likely to act on other wireless receiving devices. It has the effect that it can be done.

According to the third aspect of the invention, the unlocking unit can be switched to the registration mode, and when an arbitrary wireless signal is received in this registration mode, it can be registered in the memory. The wireless transmitter for the application can be used as a wireless transmitter in the electric lock device.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, there is an effect that the beam type wireless transmitter for locking the door of the car can be used as a wireless transmitter in the electric lock device.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, there is an effect that switching to the registration mode can be easily performed by operating the ten keys.

According to the sixth aspect of the invention, there is an effect that switching to the registration mode can be easily performed by operating the card.
