Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a guest room management unit used in hotels, clubs, etc. to centrally control guest rooms.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, when managing a large number of guest rooms, a key box with multiple partitions corresponding to the guest rooms was installed at the front desk of a hotel, and the guest room keys were stored in the partitions. is making a judgment.

However, with such conventional means, the key is still present even when the guest is out, making it difficult to judge whether the room is vacant or not. As central control devices with data processing functions are introduced, there is a need to streamline guest room management by displaying information such as guest room usage status, cleaning status, and presence or absence of messages for guests in the same area. It's reached.

As a countermeasure, the insertion slot for inserting the guest room key or its attached strip such as a tag, the indicator light for various indications, and the switches etc. that are operated depending on the presence or absence of a message should be placed on the same side. It has been proposed to provide a guest room management box, which is divided into blocks for each guest room, at the front desk of a hotel, and there is a demand for a guest room management box that can be made compact and inexpensive.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention has the purpose of completely satisfying such conventional requirements, and is extremely effective in that it consists of multiple guest room management boxes as a unit with a minimum number of parts and a mating structure as the main component. The company provides a guest room management unit.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained with reference to figures showing embodiments.

Figure 1 shows the external appearance, where A is a plan view, B is a front view, C is a rear view, and D is a side view.The front of the resin-molded housing 1 has keys corresponding to multiple guest rooms. Insertion slots 2a to 2d for inserting tags, and message insertion slots 3a to 3d for storing message pieces.
A name plate 4 is attached to the name plate 4, which has guest room number entry areas 5a to 5d, occupancy indicator lights 6a to 6d, cleaning indicator lights 7a to 7d, and message indicator lights. Mounting holes for switches 8a to 8d and switches 9a to 9d, which are operated when storing the message and when transmitting the message is completed, are drilled, and the names of the switches 8a to 8d are written and exposed.

Further, a printed circuit board 11 is fixed on the top surface with tapping screws 12, and a connector 1 for external connection is fixed.
3 is installed, and peripheral circuits include a drive circuit for each indicator light, an interface circuit for signals sent from each switch and a sensor described later, and lead wires for each indicator light using light emitting diodes. is connected to the printed circuit board 11 by an L-shaped common metal fitting 14 and individual metal fittings 15.

On the other hand, from the back side, there are resin side plates 21a and 21b that also serve as tag guides, and partition plates 22a and 2.
2b, 23a, 23b are inserted, and these are connected via a screw 25 by a metal reinforcing plate 24. A sensor for detecting insertion of a tag is housed in the partition plates 22a, 22b, and a printed circuit board 26
Connector 2 mounted on this via a and 26b
The circuit is drawn out to 7.

Note that studs 31 are provided on the side plates 21a and 21b.
are embedded and fixed to the frame from both sides by screws inserted into the screw holes 32, and a plurality of them are mounted on the rack.

In addition, side plates 21a, 21b, partition plate 22
a, 22b, 23a, and 23b are provided with protrusions on the upper and lower rear sides, and when inserted from the rear side into the guide grooves formed on the inner surfaces of the ceiling plate and the bottom plate of the housing 1, the locking holes of the ceiling plate and the bottom plate are inserted. The protrusion fits into the
It is designed to be locked in a predetermined position.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A-B in FIG. 1B, and the partition plate 22a connected to the insertion port 2d includes
A groove-shaped guide 101 is formed in the horizontal direction on the side of the insertion port 2d, and at a different angle from this,
A groove-shaped guide 10 extending from the front side to the bottom of the back side
2 is formed, and the side plate 21a shown in FIG.
The same holds true.

Further, the first and second sensors 1 are arranged so that the light emitting element and the light receiving element are opposed to each other by sandwiching the guides 101 and 102 in correspondence with the guides 101 and 102.
03 and 104 are respectively provided, and the insertion state of the tag 105 is detected by these.

Therefore, if the tag 105 is inserted at an angle guided by the guide 101, the left side of the tag 105 blocks light between both elements of the sensor 103, so this state is electrically detected and the tag 105 is guided by the guide 101.
If inserted at the angle guided by sensor 02, sensor 1
This condition is similarly detected by 04.

For this reason, if the insertion angle of the tag 105 is determined to be horizontal when the guest room is vacant and inclined direction when the guest is out, the tag 105 attached to the guest room key
05 from the insertion port 2d at a predetermined angle, the state of the cabin can be reported to the central control device.

The same applies to the insertion ports 2a to 2c, and the status of each guest room is individually given to the central control device.

Furthermore, if tag 105 is not inserted, the cabin is in use and since neither sensor 103 nor sensor 104 detects tag 105, the centralized control device can determine that the cabin is in use based on these detection results.

In addition, on the back side of the message insertion slot 3d,
The pocket 106 is the same for the message insertion slots 3a to 3c, and the room occupancy indicator light 6
In response to commands from the central control device, for example, the lights a to 6d turn off when the room is vacant, turn on continuously when the room is in use, and flash when the room is out, and the cleaning indicator lights 7a to 7d turn on and flash continuously in response to similar commands. The message indicator light 8 indicates whether cleaning is in progress or inspection is complete.
The lights a to 8d are turned on and off in response to similar commands based on the operations of the switches 9a to 9d.

Figure 3 shows the housing 1, where A is a plan view, B is a front view, C is a bottom view, D is a rear view, E is a side view corresponding to B, and F to G are A-B and C-D. , E-F sectional view, the front panel 201 is laterally divided into blocks for four rooms, and the tag 105 insertion slots 2a to 2 are
