DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a locking device for a cash transaction device having a plurality of locking portions.

[Prior Art] Generally, an automatic teller machine (ATM) is provided with an outer door on the back of the machine, and when the outer door is opened, a safe system door (a banknote handler/withdrawal processing unit and a coin compartment) is installed inside the outer door.・To the dispensing unit), a control system door, a consumables system door (passbook system door and cash register-■・thread surface), etc., and each of these surfaces is provided with a locking device.

Conventionally, so-called mechanical lock mechanisms have been used as the lock devices provided on each of these sides, and when opening and closing these doors, a dedicated key corresponding to the lock mechanism on each side is used to lock and unlock. The lock was on.

By the way, in the above-mentioned ATM, each surface is opened and closed in the following cases.

(a) When replenishing receipt paper or replenishing/collecting passbooks.

(b) When inspecting or repairing equipment.

(C) When replenishing or collecting cash.

In this case, since not only a large amount of cash but also data related to cash transactions are stored inside the ATM, the persons who can perform each of the above operations are strictly controlled.

That is, for example, a person who performs the work in (a) above is required to
), only the minimum keys required to perform the work are given, namely the key for the outer door and the key for the consumables type door. Therefore, the person performing the task (a) cannot open the control system door or the safe system door.

Furthermore, the person inspecting and repairing the device described in (b) above is given only the minimum number of keys necessary for inspecting and repairing the device, that is, the key for the outer door and the key for the control system door.

Similarly, the person who replenishes and collects cash in (C) above is given only the key to the outer door and the key to the safe system door.

In this way, care is taken to ensure that no mistakes can occur in cash management.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-described locking device for a cash transaction device has the following problems.

(b) There are many types of keys, making key management complicated.

(b) It is required to manage the history of each door, especially the safe door, such as when and by whom it was opened, but it is difficult to manage this history.

(c) Opening/closing operations for each side are complicated. For example, when collecting banknotes, first use the key on the outer door to unlock and open the outer door, then use the key on the safe door to unlock and open the safe door. Furthermore, banknotes can only be collected by unlocking the banknote unit using the banknote unit drawer key if necessary.

The present invention was made against the above-mentioned background, and provides a cash transaction device in which keys can be relatively easily managed, door opening/closing history can be easily managed, and door opening/closing operations are also easy. The purpose is to provide a locking device.

[Function] In the above configuration, the lock section reads the unlock information of the key section and compares it with the unlock permission information stored in the lock section, and if the result is that the unlock is permitted, the lock is unlocked, and Otherwise, it will not be unlocked.

In this case, by including unlocking target range setting data that defines the range of objects that can be unlocked in the unlocking information of the key part, the types of keys can be reduced and the door opening/closing operation can be simplified. That is, for example, if the storage means of one key part stores data that can unlock the lock parts of a plurality of predetermined doors as unlock target range setting data, one key part can be used as multiple keys. In addition, it becomes possible to unlock a plurality of locks at the same time with a single unlocking operation.

Furthermore, the key section is provided with an unlock information storage means, and the lock section reads this unlock information and compares it with unlock permission information stored in advance in the lock section to determine whether or not the lock can be unlocked. Since the structure is equipped with a control circuit, it is possible to manage the history of opening and closing of the door relatively easily by using the above-mentioned unlocking information or unlocking permission information, etc., and using the above-mentioned control circuit and storage means. enable.
