The lock motor 5 comprises a signal processing unit 4 for controlling the drive of the lock motor 3, and the lock device 5 locks and unlocks the opening / closing door 6 of each storage unit 1. You can do it.

When a regular card is inserted into the ticket issuing detector 7 attached to the lock device 5, the signal processing unit 4 determines that a door opening operation has been performed, and at that time an unlock command signal is input. The lock motor 3 is driven in the unlocking direction to unlock the lock 2. When a lock command signal is input to the signal processing unit 4, the lock motor 3 is driven in the lock direction to lock the lock 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, each storage unit 1 is provided with an opening / closing door 6 that is locked and unlocked by a lock 2, and the ticket issuing detector 7 is attached to the front surface of each opening / closing door 6. Further, each storage unit 1 is provided with a display lamp 8 respectively. 1 for each of these storage units 1
The system is equipped with a single fingerprint reading device 11, and the above solution is obtained by comparing the fingerprint data of the user read by the fingerprint reading device 11 with the fingerprint data registered in the fingerprint data storage device 12 in advance. The lock command signal is generated by the control device 13.

The control device 13 plays a central role in the storage system of the present invention. When the mode switching unit 14 sets the fingerprint data registration mode, the fingerprint reading device 1
The fingerprint data read by the fingerprint data storage device 12
When the normal mode is set, the fingerprint data read by the fingerprint reading device 11 is sent to the comparison device 15, and the registered fingerprint data read from the fingerprint data storage device 12 is sent to the comparison device 15 so that the comparison device 15 The collation and comparison is made at 15.

When the registered fingerprint data matches the fingerprint data read by the fingerprint reading device 11, the comparison device 15 gives a matching signal to the control device 13, and the control device 13 sends the matching signal. When there is an input, the data indicating the storage unit 1 in use stored in the storage designation storage unit 16 is read, and a display control signal for turning on the display lamp 8 attached to the storage unit 1 is displayed on the display circuit 17. In addition, a control signal is sent to the ticket issuing device 9 so as to issue the opening operation card corresponding to the storage unit 1, and an unlock command signal is sent to the lock device 5 of the storage unit 1 for a certain period of time. .
