In this state, by inserting the key 61 into the lock 16 and turning it, the opening/closing lid 15 can be opened, and the storage box 1
It is possible to remove or replace the confidential item in 4, or to put in another confidential item.

After completing the necessary work, lock the door and press the key 61.
If the user removes the key 61 and presses the return button 162, it will be detected that the storage box 14 is overweight if the key 61 is forgotten, according to the abnormality detection flowchart shown in FIG.

Further, if the key 61 is pulled out and the weight is not over, the storage box 14 is transferred to the transport cart 18 of the cart drive system 143 according to the storage box return flow chart shown in FIG. The item is returned to the original shelf booth 8.

However, if you forget to pull out the key 61,
The key removed notification buzzer 164 sounds and the dot matrix display 163 displays the message ``Please remove the lock.'' The operator notices this and only needs to pull out the key 61. Then, the storage box 14 is returned to the original shelf booth 8 in the same manner as described above.

In addition, if the weight is over, the overweight notification buzzer 165 will sound and the message ``Please remove some items from the storage box'' will be displayed, so the lid 1
5, take out some confidential items inside the storage box 14,
After reducing the weight of the storage box 14, close the lid 15,
If you remove the key 61, the original shelf booth 8 of the storage box 14 will be restored.
can be returned to.

In this manner, in the embodiment described above, it is possible to prevent the key 61 from being returned to the shelf booth 8 without forgetting to take it out from the lock 16. Also, damage to the shelf booth 8 etc. can be reliably prevented.

In addition, since the key 61 cannot be removed from the lock 16 unless the key 61 is locked, double checking of the ID card and the key 61 can significantly improve reliability regarding confidentiality.

Furthermore, to remove the key 61 from the lock 16, a key detection floodlight is installed on the underframe 30 separately from the storage box 14.
Since the key detection light receiver K ₁ and the key detection light receiver K ₂ are used for detection, only one pair of these detectors K ₁ and K ₂ is required for each workbench 29, which makes the device extremely simple and the cost low.

Furthermore, the lifting of the lifter 31 is stopped by the detection signal of the storage box top surface detection switch _S3 , and the top surface of the storage box A is located at a height close to the upper opening 30a of the underframe 30, so that the top surface of the storage box 14 is always maintained at a constant height, allowing the operator to easily take confidential items into and out of the storage box 14, and keeping the gap between the top surface of the storage box 14 and the upper opening 30a of the underframe 30 narrow at all times. This makes it possible to prevent confidential objects from falling into the underframe 30 through this gap.

Moreover, since the upper surface of the storage box 14 can be kept constant at all times when the storage box 14 is raised within the underframe 30, it is possible to reliably detect that the key has been left out.

In the embodiment, the opening 30 of the underframe 30
Although we did not install a detector to detect this when the lid 15 of the storage box 14 is released from a, if we install one and try to return the storage box 14 with the lid 15 opened, this will occur. Notify the storage box 14
The return of the storage box 14 may be prohibited. In this way, damage to the opening/closing door 53 and the storage box 14 can be prevented.

Further, in the embodiment, the center unit 101 is provided with a center computer 110, and the main unit 103 is provided with a main computer 130.
However, the main computer 130 has the function of the center computer 110, and the center computer 110 in the center unit 101
may be removed.
