Description
本発明は、主としてスーパーマーケットやコンビニエンスストア等の店舗内において買い物客が複数の商品を運ぶ際に利用する買い物カゴ又は収納カゴであって、盗難防止機能を有する買い物カゴ、その買い物カゴを用いた盗難防止システム、および収納カゴに関する。 The present invention is a shopping basket or a storage basket that is used when a shopper carries a plurality of products mainly in a store such as a supermarket or a convenience store, and has a theft prevention function, and a theft using the shopping basket. The present invention relates to a prevention system and a storage basket.
従来、小売店舗における商品の盗難、とりわけ万引きに対しては、警備員を巡回させたり、客になりすました専任の警備員を店内に配置して万引犯に個別に対処させていた。また、店内にビデオカメラを配置して万引き犯を監視するといった方法も採られていた。しかし、いずれの方法にも限界があり、巧妙な手口に対して十分対処することができなかった。 Traditionally, theft of merchandise in retail stores, especially shoplifting, has been patrolled by security guards or dedicated security guards pretending to be customers to deal with shoplifters individually. In addition, a video camera was installed in the store to monitor shoplifters. However, each method has its limitations, and it has not been able to cope with clever tricks.
そこで、商品の万引防止のために、自鳴式タグや、ＲＦ−ＩＤ等の無線式のタグを利用した万引防止システムが利用されている。無線式のタグを利用した万引防止システムとしては、例えば、記録された情報の無線通信による読み取りが可能な無線式のタグが添付された商品を取り扱う店舗において、商品の売上登録すなわち客の代金支払い時にこのタグに代金支払い済みの情報を書き込むＲＦ−ＩＤライタ部を有する代金決済機と、店舗の出口等に配置され、出口を通過する商品に添付された無線式のタグから代金支払い情報を無線通信により非接触で検出し、この検出した代金支払い情報が支払い済みであることを示す情報でないときに、警報を発する警報手段とを設けたものが開示されている（特許文献１参照）。 In order to prevent shoplifting of merchandise, shoplifting prevention systems using self-sounding tags and wireless tags such as RF-ID are used. As a shoplifting prevention system using a wireless tag, for example, in a store handling a product with a wireless tag that can read recorded information by wireless communication, sales registration of the product, that is, payment for the customer Price payment information is wirelessly transmitted from a price settlement machine having an RF-ID writer section that sometimes writes information that has already been paid to this tag, and a wireless tag attached to a product passing through the exit. There is disclosed a device provided with a warning means that issues a warning when the detected payment information is not information indicating that the payment is detected by communication without contact (see Patent Document 1).
これによれば、代金決済機のＲＦ−ＩＤライタ部によってタグの代金支払い情報が代金支払い済みと書き込まれていない商品が店舗の出口等を通過すると、警報手段により警報が発せられることとなる。すなわち、万引等が発生した場合、警報が発せられ、店員が万引の発生を即座に把握することができる。
近年、買い物客が使用する買い物カゴに商品を詰め込み、その買い物カゴごと逃走するという万引きの手口が頻発している。この場合、万引き犯は、万引きが発覚することを前提として万引き行為を行うため、従来のように警報が発せられるだけの万引き防止装置では、万引きを効果的に抑制することができないという問題があった。 In recent years, shoplifting techniques have frequently occurred in which products are packed in a shopping cart used by a shopper and the shopping cart runs away. In this case, the shoplifter performs shoplifting on the premise that shoplifting is detected. Therefore, a shoplifting prevention device that can only generate an alarm as in the past cannot effectively prevent shoplifting. It was.
本発明は、上記の問題を解決するためになされており、商品が買い物カゴごと盗まれることを抑制できる買い物カゴ，盗難防止システムおよび収納カゴに関する技術を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technology relating to a shopping cart, an anti-theft system, and a storage basket that can prevent goods from being stolen together with the shopping cart.
上述した問題を解決するためになされた請求項１に記載の買い物カゴは、下方向に開口部を有するカゴ本体と、上記開口部を閉塞可能な形状を有する底板と、所定の無線信号を送信する送信装置から送信された上記無線信号を受信する受信手段と、底板連結部と、から構成される。この底板連結部は、上記受信手段が受信する上記所定の無線信号の電波強度が、予め定められた底板脱落強度を越えて変化した際に、連結状態から解離状態へと切り替わるように構成されている。ここでいう連結状態とは、上記底板を、上記開口部を閉塞する位置関係にて上記カゴ本体に対して連結する状態である。また、解離状態とは、上記底板が上記カゴ本体から解離可能な状態のことである。 The shopping cart according to claim 1, which has been made to solve the above-described problem, transmits a predetermined radio signal to a basket body having an opening in a downward direction, a bottom plate having a shape capable of closing the opening. Receiving means for receiving the radio signal transmitted from the transmitting device, and a bottom plate connecting portion. The bottom plate connecting portion is configured to switch from the connected state to the disengaged state when the radio wave intensity of the predetermined radio signal received by the receiving means changes beyond a predetermined bottom plate dropout strength. Yes. The connected state here is a state in which the bottom plate is connected to the car body in a positional relationship that closes the opening. The dissociated state is a state where the bottom plate can be dissociated from the basket body.
このように構成された買い物カゴにおいて、底板連結部が連結状態であるときは、上記買い物カゴは通常の買い物カゴとしての機能（複数の商品を運搬する機能を指し、以降「カゴ機能」という）を有するが、底板連結部が解離状態となると、底板がカゴ本体から脱落し、カゴ本体の下面における開口部の閉塞が解除されてカゴ機能を喪失するため、買い物カゴに商品が詰め込まれていた場合、その商品が開口部から脱落することとなる。 In the shopping cart configured as described above, when the bottom plate connecting portion is in a connected state, the shopping cart functions as a normal shopping cart (refers to a function of transporting a plurality of products, hereinafter referred to as “cage function”). However, when the bottom plate connecting part is in a dissociated state, the bottom plate is dropped from the basket body, and the closure of the opening on the lower surface of the basket body is released and the basket function is lost. In that case, the product falls out of the opening.
よって、商品を買い物カゴごと盗もうとしても、店舗の出口などに配置された送信装置から無線信号を受信し、底板連結部が解離状態となり商品が脱落するため、商品が買い物カゴごと盗まれることを抑制できる。 Therefore, even if you try to steal the product together with the shopping cart, the product will be stolen together with the shopping cart because it receives a wireless signal from the transmitter placed at the exit of the store, etc. Can be suppressed.

The gist of the present invention is to include release means for releasing the holding by the first holding means when the strength is reached.
請求項８の収納カゴは、カゴ本体の下方向の開口部を底板が閉塞することで、収納可能になる。
この状態で、送信手段から送信された無線信号を受信手段が受信して、その無線信号の電波強度が底板脱落強度になると、解除手段が第１保持手段による底板の保持を解除する。
The storage basket of claim 8 can be stored by closing the opening in the downward direction of the basket body with the bottom plate.
In this state, when the reception unit receives the radio signal transmitted from the transmission unit and the radio wave intensity of the radio signal becomes the bottom plate dropout strength, the release unit releases the holding of the bottom plate by the first holding unit.
この結果、底板が開口部を閉塞する位置に第１保持強度で保持されなくなって、例えば、底板が落下し、カゴ本体の下方向の開口部が開口状態になる。
これにより、収納カゴが収納機能を失って、例えば、収納カゴに収納されていた物がカゴ本体の下方向の開口部から落下する。
As a result, the bottom plate is not held at the position where the opening is closed with the first holding strength. For example, the bottom plate falls and the downward opening of the basket body is in the open state.
Thereby, the storage basket loses the storage function, and, for example, an object stored in the storage basket falls from the downward opening of the basket body.
この機能により、例えば、物品販売店舗内に収納カゴを置いておき、物品販売店舗の出口に送信手段を設置しておくことで、物品販売店舗内では、収納カゴは、収納機能を発揮し、収納カゴが物品販売店舗の出口に持ってこられると、収納カゴに入れられていた物品が収納カゴから落下する動作を行う。 With this function, for example, by placing a storage basket in an article sales store and installing a transmission means at the exit of the article sales store, the storage basket exhibits a storage function in the article sales store, When the storage basket is brought to the outlet of the article sales store, the article that has been put in the storage basket is dropped from the storage basket.
従って、例えば、物品の入った収納カゴを物品販売店舗外に持ち出すことが出来なくなって、商品を収納カゴに入れたままで、物品販売店舗外へ持ち出そうとする試みをなくすることが可能になる。この結果、高い防犯機能の提供が可能になる。 Therefore, for example, it becomes impossible to take out the storage basket containing the goods outside the article sales store, and it is possible to eliminate an attempt to take out the goods outside the article sales store while keeping the products in the storage basket. As a result, it is possible to provide a high crime prevention function.
請求項９の収納カゴは、前記第１保持手段は、係止片を有する第１係止部材と、該第１係止部材の係止片が嵌る凹形状部を有する第１凹状部材とを有し、前記第１係止部材、又は前記第１凹状部材の一方が前記底板に取り付けられ、他方が前記カゴ本体に取り付けられる構成を備え、前記解除手段は、前記第１係止部材の係止片を前記第１凹状部材の凹形状部から外す方向に移動させる駆動手段を備えることを特徴とする請求項８に記載の収納カゴを要旨とする。 The storage basket according to claim 9, wherein the first holding means includes a first locking member having a locking piece, and a first concave member having a concave shape portion into which the locking piece of the first locking member is fitted. One of the first locking member and the first concave member is attached to the bottom plate, and the other is attached to the car body, and the release means is a member of the first locking member. The gist of the storage basket according to claim 8, further comprising driving means for moving the stop piece in a direction of removing the stop piece from the concave portion of the first concave member.
請求項９の収納カゴは、請求項８の収納カゴと同様の作用効果を有することに加え、第１係止部材の係止片が第１凹状部材の凹形状部に嵌ることで、カゴ本体と、底板とが第１保持強度で保持される。 The storage basket of claim 9 has the same effect as the storage basket of claim 8, and the locking piece of the first locking member fits into the concave shape portion of the first concave member, so that the basket body And the bottom plate are held at the first holding strength.
この状態で、駆動手段が第１係止部材の係止片を第１凹状部材の凹形状部から外す方向に移動させると、カゴ本体と底板とが第１保持強度で保持されなくなり、例えば、底板がカゴ本体から落下する。 In this state, when the driving means moves the locking piece of the first locking member in the direction to remove it from the concave shape portion of the first concave member, the basket body and the bottom plate are not held at the first holding strength. The bottom plate falls from the basket body.
これにより、駆動手段は、第１係止部材の係止片を第１凹状部材の凹形状部から外すだけで、例えば、カゴ本体から底板を落下させることが可能になる。
請求項１０の収納カゴは、前記底板を前記開口部を閉塞する位置に第２保持強度で保持する第２保持手段を備え、該第２保持手段は、係止形状部を有する第２係止部材と、該第２係止部材の係止形状部が嵌る凹形状部を有する第２凹状部材とを有し、前記第２係止部材、又は前記第２凹状部材の一方が前記底板に取り付けられ、他方が前記カゴ本体に取り付けられる構成を備え、前記第２保持強度は、前記第１保持強度より小さく設定されていることを特徴とする請求項８、又は請求項９に記載の収納カゴを要旨とする。
As a result, the driving means can drop the bottom plate from the car body, for example, by simply removing the locking piece of the first locking member from the concave shape portion of the first concave member.
The storage basket according to claim 10 includes second holding means for holding the bottom plate at a position for closing the opening with a second holding strength, and the second holding means has a second locking portion. And a second concave member having a concave shape portion into which the locking shape portion of the second locking member is fitted, and one of the second locking member or the second concave member is attached to the bottom plate 10. The storage basket according to claim 8, wherein the second holding strength is set to be smaller than the first holding strength. Is the gist.
請求項１０の収納カゴは、請求項８、又は請求項９の収納カゴと同様の作用効果を有することに加え、第２係止部材の係止形状部が第２凹状部材の凹形状部に嵌ることで、カゴ本体と、底板とが第２保持強度で保持される。 The storage basket of claim 10 has the same effect as that of the storage basket of claim 8 or 9, and the locking shape portion of the second locking member is changed to the concave shape portion of the second concave member. By fitting, the basket body and the bottom plate are held at the second holding strength.
この状態で、駆動手段が第１係止部材の係止片を第１凹状部材の凹形状部から外す方向に移動させると、カゴ本体と底板とが第１保持強度で保持されなくなるが、カゴ本体と底板とがこの第１保持強度より小さな第２保持強度で保持される。 In this state, when the driving means moves the locking piece of the first locking member in the direction to remove from the concave shape portion of the first concave member, the basket body and the bottom plate are not held at the first holding strength. The main body and the bottom plate are held with a second holding strength smaller than the first holding strength.
従って、例えば、収納カゴの収納物の重量が第２保持強度では底板を保持することが出来ないほど重い場合には、底板がカゴ本体から落下し、収納カゴの収納物の重量が極めて軽い場合には、底板がカゴ本体から落下することなく、カゴ本体の開口部を底板が塞いだ状態に保持される。 Therefore, for example, when the weight of the storage basket is too heavy to hold the bottom plate with the second holding strength, the bottom plate falls from the basket body, and the weight of the storage basket is extremely light. In this case, the bottom plate is held in a state where the bottom plate closes the opening of the basket body without dropping from the basket body.
これにより、例えば、収納カゴを空で物品販売店舗の外へ持ち出した場合には、底板の落下がなく、収納カゴに物品を多く入れて外へ持ち出した場合には、底板が落下する収納カゴを提供することが可能になる。 Thus, for example, when the storage basket is taken out of the goods store in the empty space, there is no fall of the bottom plate, and when a large amount of articles are put in the storage basket and taken out, the storage basket where the bottom plate falls. It becomes possible to provide.
この結果、空の収納カゴの底板の落下が徒に発生しなくなり、例えば、開店準備や仕分けなどで一時的に収納カゴを物品販売店舗外に持ち出したとしても、収納カゴの状態が保持され、そのまま物品販売店舗内に戻すことで、再び、物品を大量に入れることが可能な状態に復するという、使い勝手の良い収納カゴの提供が可能になる。 As a result, falling of the bottom plate of the empty storage basket does not occur easily, for example, even if the storage basket is temporarily taken out of the article sales store for opening preparation or sorting, the state of the storage basket is maintained, By returning the product as it is to the article sales store, it is possible to provide an easy-to-use storage basket that returns to a state where a large amount of articles can be put again.
請求項１１の収納カゴは、前記第２係止部材の係止形状部を前記第２凹状部材の凹形状部に付勢する弾性部材の付勢力によって、前記第２保持強度が設定されることを特徴とする請求項１０に記載の収納カゴを要旨とする。 In the storage basket according to claim 11, the second holding strength is set by a biasing force of an elastic member that biases the locking shape portion of the second locking member to the concave shape portion of the second concave member. The gist of the storage basket according to claim 10.
請求項１１の収納カゴは、請求項１０の収納カゴと同様の作用効果を有することに加え、第２係止部材の係止形状部が弾性部材によって、第２凹状部材の凹形状部に付勢されることによって、底板が開口部を第２保持強度で閉塞する。 The storage basket of claim 11 has the same function and effect as the storage basket of claim 10, and the locking shape portion of the second locking member is attached to the concave shape portion of the second concave member by the elastic member. By being biased, the bottom plate closes the opening with the second holding strength.
これにより、第２保持強度を弾性部材、例えば、ばねの付勢力の大小を調整することによって、所定の強度にすることが出来、設定の自由度を向上させると共に、部品点数の低減を図ることが可能になる。 As a result, the second holding strength can be set to a predetermined strength by adjusting the magnitude of the biasing force of the elastic member, for example, a spring, improving the degree of freedom of setting and reducing the number of parts.

The gist of the storage basket according to any one of claims 8 to 11, which has a structure.
請求項１２の収納カゴは、請求項８ないし請求項１１の収納カゴと同様の作用効果を有することに加え、第１係止部材の係止片が、第１凹状部材の凹形状部に嵌ることによって、第１凹状部材の移動が制限され、底板が開口部を第１保持強度で閉塞する。 The storage basket of claim 12 has the same function and effect as the storage basket of claims 8 to 11, and the locking piece of the first locking member fits into the concave portion of the first concave member. This restricts the movement of the first concave member, and the bottom plate closes the opening with the first holding strength.
これにより、第１保持強度が係止片と、凹形状部との組合せで得られ、部品点数の低減を図ることが可能になる。 As a result, the first holding strength can be obtained by the combination of the locking piece and the concave portion, and the number of parts can be reduced.

買い物カゴ２０は、図２に示すように、カゴ本体２１と、底板２２と、２つの把手２３と、カゴ本体２１と底板２２との連結部分に取り付けられた４つの連結装置２４と、連結装置２４内部に配置されるアンテナ２５と、からなる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the shopping basket 20 includes a basket body 21, a bottom plate 22, two handles 23, four coupling devices 24 attached to a coupling portion between the basket body 21 and the bottom plate 22, and a coupling device. 24, and an antenna 25 disposed inside.
カゴ本体２１と底板２２とは着脱可能であり、カゴ本体２１から底板２２が解離したものを図３に示す。カゴ本体２１は、４つの面からなり、上下方向（図３におけるＡＢ方向）に開口を有する筒状に形成されている。上方（図３におけるＡ方向）には買い物カゴ２０に商品を投入するための開口２６が形成されており、下方（図３におけるＢ方向）には商品を脱落させるための開口２７が形成されている。 The car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 are detachable, and FIG. 3 shows the car body 21 with the bottom plate 22 dissociated. The car body 21 is formed in a cylindrical shape having four surfaces and having an opening in the vertical direction (AB direction in FIG. 3). An opening 26 is formed on the upper side (A direction in FIG. 3) for putting the product into the shopping cart 20, and an opening 27 is formed on the lower side (B direction in FIG. 3) for dropping the product. Yes.
底板２２は、カゴ本体２１における下方の開口２７を閉塞可能な形状を有する矩形の板状の部材であって、図２に示すカゴ本体２１と底板２２とを連結させた状態においては、下方の開口２７を閉塞しており、商品の脱落を抑制し、カゴ機能（複数の商品を運搬する機能）を発揮できるようになっている。 The bottom plate 22 is a rectangular plate-like member having a shape capable of closing the lower opening 27 in the car body 21. In the state where the car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 shown in FIG. The opening 27 is closed, so that the product can be prevented from falling off, and the basket function (function of carrying a plurality of products) can be exhibited.
カゴ本体２１と底板２２とを連結させた状態における連結装置２４の断面図を図４に示す。連結装置２４は、底板２２に取り付けられる構成要素と、カゴ本体２１に取り付けられる構成要素と、からなる。 FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the connecting device 24 in a state where the car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 are connected. The coupling device 24 includes a component attached to the bottom plate 22 and a component attached to the car body 21.
連結装置２４の構成要素のうち、柱部材２８が、底板２２に取り付けられる構成要素である。この柱部材２８は、図５に示すように、底板２２の主たる面から垂直方向に延びだす円柱形状の部材であって、その円柱の側面に、底板２２側から順に第１係合溝２９と第２係合溝３０とが形成されている。 Of the components of the coupling device 24, the column member 28 is a component attached to the bottom plate 22. As shown in FIG. 5, the column member 28 is a columnar member extending in the vertical direction from the main surface of the bottom plate 22, and the first engagement grooves 29 and the side surfaces of the column are sequentially formed from the bottom plate 22 side. A second engagement groove 30 is formed.
第１係合溝２９は、２つの面によって構成される溝であって、底板２２の主たる面と平行に形成されている平行面２９Ａと、平行面２９Ａよりも底板２２側に位置し、底板２２から所定の角度を付けて形成されている傾斜面２９Ｂと、からなる。 The first engagement groove 29 is a groove constituted by two surfaces, and is a parallel surface 29A formed in parallel with the main surface of the bottom plate 22, and is located closer to the bottom plate 22 than the parallel surface 29A. And an inclined surface 29 </ b> B formed at a predetermined angle from 22.
第２係合溝３０は、２つの面によって構成される溝であって、その２面が底板２２の主たる面に対して正負逆となる同角度を有する斜面となるように形成されている。
また、連結装置２４を構成する構成要素のうち、カゴ本体２１に取り付けられる構成要素は、図６に示すように、第１移動鉄芯３１と、第１移動鉄芯３１に取り付けられた第１バネ３２と、第１移動鉄芯３１の周囲に配置されたソレノイドコイル３３と、第２移動鉄芯３４と、第２移動鉄芯３４に取り付けられた第２バネ３５と、音声出力装置３６と、制御装置３７と、上記各部品を内部に保持し、上述した柱部材２８が挿入可能な丸穴３８が形成されたケース３９と、である。
The second engagement groove 30 is a groove constituted by two surfaces, and the two surfaces are formed to be inclined surfaces having the same angle that is positive and negative with respect to the main surface of the bottom plate 22.
In addition, among the components constituting the coupling device 24, the components attached to the car body 21 are the first moving iron core 31 and the first moving iron core 31 attached to the first moving iron core 31, as shown in FIG. A spring 32, a solenoid coil 33 arranged around the first moving iron core 31, a second moving iron core 34, a second spring 35 attached to the second moving iron core 34, and an audio output device 36 A control device 37, and a case 39 in which each of the above components is held and a round hole 38 into which the above-described pillar member 28 can be inserted is formed.
第１移動鉄芯３１は、ソレノイドコイル３３により駆動可能な柱状の部材であって、一端が上記第１係合溝２９と合致する形状に形成されている。そして、上記一端が丸穴３８に位置し、第１係合溝２９に嵌ることにより、柱部材２８と第１移動鉄芯３１とが係合する係合位置（図７（ａ）における第１移動鉄芯３１の位置）と、上記一端が丸穴３８の外部に位置して第１係合溝２９に嵌らず、柱部材２８と第１移動鉄芯３１とが係合しない非係合位置（図７（ｂ）における第１移動鉄芯３１の位置）と、の間で移動可能となっている。 The first moving iron core 31 is a columnar member that can be driven by a solenoid coil 33, and one end of the first moving iron core 31 is formed to match the first engaging groove 29. The one end is located in the round hole 38 and fits in the first engagement groove 29, whereby the column member 28 and the first movable iron core 31 are engaged with each other (first position in FIG. 7A). The position of the moving iron core 31) and the one end is located outside the round hole 38 and does not fit into the first engaging groove 29, and the column member 28 and the first moving iron core 31 are not engaged. It is movable between the position (the position of the first moving iron core 31 in FIG. 7B).
第１バネ３２は、第１移動鉄芯３１を上記係合位置に付勢する。また、ソレノイドコイル３３は、制御装置３７の出力に応じて第１移動鉄芯３１を上記非係合位置に移動させる。ソレノイドコイル３３が第１移動鉄芯を上記非係合位置に移動させないときは、第１移動鉄芯３１は第１バネ３２により上記係合位置にて保持される。 The first spring 32 biases the first moving iron core 31 to the engagement position. Further, the solenoid coil 33 moves the first moving iron core 31 to the non-engagement position according to the output of the control device 37. When the solenoid coil 33 does not move the first moving iron core to the disengaged position, the first moving iron core 31 is held at the engaged position by the first spring 32.
４つの連結装置２４において、柱部材２８が丸穴３８に挿入されると、底板２２はカゴ本体２１の下側の開口２７を閉塞する位置関係となる。その状態において、第１移動鉄芯３１は柱部材２８と係合しており、第１係合溝２９と第１移動鉄芯の上記一端とは互いに底板２２に沿った面同士が接触する。そのため、カゴ本体２１と底板２２とを解離させる方向に力が加わっても、それらの係合が外れることなく、カゴ本体２１と底板２２とが連結された連結状態となる。 In the four connecting devices 24, when the column member 28 is inserted into the round hole 38, the bottom plate 22 is in a positional relationship for closing the lower opening 27 of the car body 21. In this state, the first moving iron core 31 is engaged with the column member 28, and the first engaging groove 29 and the one end of the first moving iron core are in contact with each other along the bottom plate 22. Therefore, even if a force is applied in a direction in which the car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 are dissociated, the car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 are connected without being disengaged.
一方、第１移動鉄芯３１が柱部材２８と係合していないときは、底板２２がカゴ本体２１から解離可能な解離状態となる。
また、第１移動鉄芯３１の上記一端は傾斜面２９Ｂと合致する側が斜面となっているため、柱部材２８を丸穴３８に挿入したときに、柱部材２８の延びだす側の先端や、第２係合溝３０に第１移動鉄芯３１が接触しても、第１移動鉄芯３１は上記非係合位置の方向に逃げることができる。つまり、カゴ本体２１と底板２２とを連結させる場合に、第１移動鉄芯３１が係合位置に位置していても、柱部材２８に第１移動鉄芯３１が引っ掛かることがないので、第１移動鉄芯３１の上記一端が第１係合溝２９に嵌る位置まで柱部材２８を容易に挿入することができる。
On the other hand, when the first moving iron core 31 is not engaged with the column member 28, the bottom plate 22 is in a dissociated state that can be dissociated from the car body 21.
In addition, since the one end of the first moving iron core 31 is inclined on the side that matches the inclined surface 29B, when the column member 28 is inserted into the round hole 38, the tip on the side where the column member 28 extends, Even if the first moving iron core 31 contacts the second engaging groove 30, the first moving iron core 31 can escape in the direction of the non-engaging position. That is, when the basket body 21 and the bottom plate 22 are connected, the first moving iron core 31 is not caught by the column member 28 even if the first moving iron core 31 is located at the engagement position. The column member 28 can be easily inserted to the position where the one end of the one moving iron core 31 fits into the first engagement groove 29.
第２移動鉄芯３４は、柱状の部材であって、一端が上記第２係合溝３０と合致する形状に形成されており、その一端が丸穴３８に位置し、第２係合溝３０に嵌って柱部材２８と第２移動鉄芯３４とが係合する位置（図７（ａ）における第２移動鉄芯３４の位置）と、上記一端が丸穴３８の外部に位置し、第２係合溝３０に嵌らず、柱部材２８と第２移動鉄芯とが係合しない位置（図７（ｂ）における第２移動鉄芯３４の位置）と、の間で移動可能となっている。 The second moving iron core 34 is a columnar member, and has one end formed in a shape that matches the second engagement groove 30, and one end thereof is positioned in the round hole 38. The column member 28 and the second moving iron core 34 are engaged with each other (the position of the second moving iron core 34 in FIG. 7A), and the one end is located outside the round hole 38. 2 It does not fit in the engaging groove 30 and is movable between a position where the column member 28 and the second moving iron core do not engage (position of the second moving iron core 34 in FIG. 7B). ing.
第２バネ３５は、第２移動鉄芯３４を柱部材２８と係合する位置に付勢している。４つの連結装置２４において柱部材２８が丸穴３８に挿入されて、底板２２がカゴ本体２１の下側の開口２７を閉塞する位置関係となるときには、第２移動鉄芯３４が柱部材２８と係合している。その状態においては、第２バネ３５の付勢力により係合が維持され、カゴ本体２１と底板２２との連結が保持される。 The second spring 35 biases the second moving iron core 34 to a position where it engages with the column member 28. When the pillar member 28 is inserted into the round hole 38 in the four connecting devices 24 and the bottom plate 22 is in the positional relationship of closing the lower opening 27 of the car body 21, the second moving iron core 34 is connected to the pillar member 28. Is engaged. In this state, the engagement is maintained by the urging force of the second spring 35, and the connection between the car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 is maintained.
一方、第１移動鉄芯３１が柱部材２８と係合していない場合において、底板２２が開口２７から離れる方向（図４における下方向）の力を受けると、第２移動鉄芯３４の上述した一端に形成された上側の斜面が、第２係合溝３０の上側の斜面に押圧されるため、第２移動鉄芯３４は柱部材２８と係合しない方向（図４における右方向）に向かって力を受けることとなる。上述した底板２２が受ける力が一定以上強くなると、第２バネ３５の付勢力に勝って第２移動鉄芯３４と柱部材２８との係合が外れ、上記保持が解除される。 On the other hand, when the first moving iron core 31 is not engaged with the column member 28, when the bottom plate 22 receives a force in a direction away from the opening 27 (downward direction in FIG. 4), the second moving iron core 34 described above. Since the upper slope formed at one end is pressed against the upper slope of the second engagement groove 30, the second moving iron core 34 is not engaged with the column member 28 (right direction in FIG. 4). You will be receiving power. When the above-described force received by the bottom plate 22 becomes stronger than a certain level, the urging force of the second spring 35 is overcome and the engagement between the second moving iron core 34 and the column member 28 is released, and the above holding is released.
アンテナ２５は、出入口送信装置４および店舗内送信装置６から送信された無線信号を受信して制御装置３７に送信する。
音声出力装置３６は、制御装置３７から出力された音声データの電気信号を音声情報として出力する。
The antenna 25 receives radio signals transmitted from the entrance / exit transmission device 4 and the in-store transmission device 6 and transmits them to the control device 37.
The audio output device 36 outputs the electrical signal of the audio data output from the control device 37 as audio information.
制御装置３７は、ＣＰＵ，ＲＯＭ，Ｉ／Ｏ，バッテリ，およびこれらの構成を接続するバスライン等からなる周知のマイクロコンピュータを中心に構成されており、バッテリから動作電源を供給され、盗難防止処理などを実行する。この盗難防止処理では、アンテナ２５が出入口送信装置４から受信した無線信号の電波強度が、図８に示すように、底板脱落強度（しきい値）より強い場合にソレノイドコイル３３に電圧を印加すると共に、ＲＯＭに記憶された音声データを音声出力装置３６に出力して警報音を発報させるが、詳しくは後述する。 The control device 37 is composed mainly of a well-known microcomputer comprising a CPU, ROM, I / O, battery, a bus line for connecting these components, and the like. And so on. In this antitheft process, a voltage is applied to the solenoid coil 33 when the radio wave intensity of the radio signal received by the antenna 25 from the entrance / exit transmitter 4 is higher than the bottom plate dropout strength (threshold value) as shown in FIG. At the same time, the sound data stored in the ROM is output to the sound output device 36 to generate an alarm sound, which will be described in detail later.
出入口送信装置４は、高い指向性を有する送信アンテナを備えており、ソレノイドコイル３３に電圧を印加させるための無線信号を、店舗２の出入口外側の電波領域５に向けて送信する。買い物カゴ２０が電波領域５に位置するときには、アンテナ２５は底板脱落強度以上の電波強度で無線信号を受信することができる一方、買い物カゴ２０が電波領域５の外部に位置するときには、アンテナ２５は底板脱落強度未満の電波強度で無線信号を受信することとなる。 The entrance / exit transmission device 4 includes a transmission antenna having high directivity, and transmits a radio signal for applying a voltage to the solenoid coil 33 toward the radio wave region 5 outside the entrance / exit of the store 2. When the shopping cart 20 is located in the radio wave area 5, the antenna 25 can receive a radio signal with a radio wave intensity equal to or higher than the bottom plate dropout strength, whereas when the shopping cart 20 is located outside the radio wave area 5, the antenna 25 is A radio signal is received with a radio wave intensity lower than the bottom plate dropout intensity.
店舗内送信装置６は、ソレノイドコイル３３に対する電圧の印加および音声出力装置３６による警報音の発報を停止させるための無線信号を、店舗内送信装置６の近傍に送信する。 The in-store transmission device 6 transmits a radio signal for stopping the application of a voltage to the solenoid coil 33 and the alarm output by the audio output device 36 to the vicinity of the in-store transmission device 6.
尚、店舗内送信装置６を用いることなく、出入口送信装置４から受信した無線信号の電波強度の大小だけでソレノイドコイル３３に電流を流すかの否かを決定したり、音声出力装置３６による警報音の有無を決定したりする構成にしても良い。 It should be noted that, without using the in-store transmission device 6, it is determined whether or not a current is passed through the solenoid coil 33 based on the magnitude of the radio wave intensity of the radio signal received from the entrance / exit transmission device 4, or an alarm is generated by the audio output device 36 It may be configured to determine the presence or absence of sound.
この様にすることで、店舗内送信装置６を省略することが出来ると共に、制御装置３７の簡素化や省電力化を図ることが可能になる。
又、柱部材２８をカゴ本体２１側に設け、第１移動鉄芯３１を底板２２に設ける構成にしても良い。この場合には、連結装置２４の構造を適宜変更する。
In this way, the in-store transmission device 6 can be omitted, and the control device 37 can be simplified and power can be saved.
Alternatively, the column member 28 may be provided on the car body 21 side and the first moving iron core 31 may be provided on the bottom plate 22. In this case, the structure of the coupling device 24 is changed as appropriate.
或いは、柱部材２８をカゴ本体２１側に設け、第２移動鉄芯３４を底板２２に設ける構成にしても良い。
（２）制御装置３７による盗難防止処理
以下に、制御装置３７により実行される盗難防止処理の処理手順を、図９に基づいて説明する。この盗難防止処理は、バッテリから動作電源が供給されている間、継続して実行される。
Alternatively, the column member 28 may be provided on the car body 21 side and the second moving iron core 34 may be provided on the bottom plate 22.
(2) Anti-theft processing by the control device 37 Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the anti-theft processing executed by the control device 37 will be described with reference to FIG. This antitheft process is continuously executed while operating power is supplied from the battery.
本処理では、まず、アンテナ２５が受信する出入口送信装置４から送信された無線信号の電波強度をチェックする（Ｓ１０）。
次に、Ｓ１０にてチェックした電波強度が底板脱落強度以上であるか否かを判定する（Ｓ２０）。
In this process, first, the radio wave intensity of the radio signal transmitted from the entrance / exit transmission device 4 received by the antenna 25 is checked (S10).
Next, it is determined whether or not the radio wave intensity checked in S10 is greater than or equal to the bottom plate dropout intensity (S20).
底板脱落強度以上でなければ（Ｓ２０：ＮＯ）、処理がＳ１０に戻る。
一方、底板脱落強度以上であれば（Ｓ２０：ＹＥＳ）、第１移動鉄芯３１を非係合位置まで移動させる（Ｓ３０）。ここでは、ソレノイドコイル３３に電圧を印加し、第１移動鉄芯３１を、第１バネ３２の付勢方向と逆方向に移動させ、非係合位置に到達させる。
If the bottom plate dropout strength is not exceeded (S20: NO), the process returns to S10.
On the other hand, if it is more than the bottom plate dropping strength (S20: YES), the first moving iron core 31 is moved to the non-engagement position (S30). Here, a voltage is applied to the solenoid coil 33, and the first moving iron core 31 is moved in the direction opposite to the urging direction of the first spring 32 to reach the non-engagement position.
次に、音声出力装置３６に警報音を発報させる（Ｓ４０）。ここでは、制御装置３７のＲＯＭに記憶されている警報音の音声データを音声出力装置３６に入力し、警報音を出力させる。 Next, an alarm sound is issued to the voice output device 36 (S40). Here, the sound data of the alarm sound stored in the ROM of the control device 37 is input to the sound output device 36, and the alarm sound is output.
次に、店舗内送信装置６からの無線信号を受信したか否かをチェックする（Ｓ５０）。なお、このときの電波強度は、上記無線信号を受信していると認識できる程度であればよい。アンテナ２５が無線信号を受信していれば（Ｓ６０：ＹＥＳ）、処理がＳ７０に移行する。一方、アンテナ２５が無線信号を受信していなければ（Ｓ６０：ＮＯ）、処理がＳ５０に戻る。 Next, it is checked whether or not a radio signal is received from the in-store transmission device 6 (S50). Note that the radio wave intensity at this time may be of a level that allows the radio signal to be recognized as being received. If the antenna 25 is receiving a radio signal (S60: YES), the process proceeds to S70. On the other hand, if the antenna 25 has not received a radio signal (S60: NO), the process returns to S50.
次に、ソレノイドコイル３３および音声出力装置３６への出力を停止して、第１移動鉄芯３１を係合位置に移動させ、警報の発報を停止する（Ｓ７０）。その後、処理がＳ１０に戻る。
（３）効果
このように構成された盗難防止システム１において、買い物カゴ２０は、店舗２内部においては通常のカゴ機能を有しており、店舗２外部では、出入口送信装置４からの無線信号を受けて、底板２２の連結が外れ、カゴ機能を喪失することとなる。よって、買い物カゴ２０に商品を詰めて店舗２外部に持ち出すと、商品が買い物カゴ２０から脱落するため、買い物カゴ２０ごと商品を盗まれることが防止できる。
Next, the output to the solenoid coil 33 and the audio output device 36 is stopped, the first moving iron core 31 is moved to the engagement position, and the alarm is stopped (S70). Thereafter, the process returns to S10.
(3) Effect In the anti-theft system 1 configured as described above, the shopping basket 20 has a normal basket function inside the store 2, and a radio signal from the entrance transmission device 4 is sent outside the store 2. In response, the bottom plate 22 is disconnected and the basket function is lost. Therefore, if the shopping cart 20 is filled with products and taken out of the store 2, the products fall out of the shopping cart 20, so that the entire shopping cart 20 can be prevented from being stolen.
また、上記買い物カゴ２０は、第２移動鉄芯３４と第２係合溝３０により連結が保持されているため、商品が多量に詰め込まれていないときには底板２２が脱落しない。よって、買い物カゴ２０自体を運搬したり、少量の商品を詰めて間違って店舗２外部に出たときなどは底板２２が脱落しないので都合がよい。 Further, since the shopping cart 20 is held connected by the second moving iron core 34 and the second engaging groove 30, the bottom plate 22 does not fall off when a large amount of products is not packed. Therefore, it is convenient because the bottom plate 22 does not fall off when the shopping cart 20 itself is transported, or when a small amount of goods is packed and it goes out of the store 2 by mistake.
また、上記買い物カゴ２０は、出入口送信装置４からの無線信号を受信するまでは、連結装置２４が連結状態であることから、アンテナ２５、ソレノイドコイル３３や出入口送信装置４などが故障したとしても、少なくともカゴ機能を維持することができる。 In addition, since the connecting device 24 is in a connected state until the shopping cart 20 receives a radio signal from the entrance / exit transmitter 4, even if the antenna 25, the solenoid coil 33, the entrance / exit transmitter 4, etc. break down. At least the basket function can be maintained.
また、上記買い物カゴ２０は、店舗２外部に持ち出されると警報音を発報するため、盗難が発生したことを周囲に報知することができ、被害を抑制することができる。
（４）変形例
以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明は、上記実施形態に何ら限定されることはなく、本発明の技術的範囲に属する限り種々の形態をとり得ることはいうまでもない。
Further, since the shopping cart 20 issues an alarm sound when it is taken out of the store 2, it can notify the surroundings that the theft has occurred and can suppress damage.
(4) Modifications The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can take various forms as long as it belongs to the technical scope of the present invention. Needless to say.
例えば、上記実施形態においては、音声出力装置３６に警報音を発報させるタイミングは、連結装置２４が解離状態となるタイミングと同じである構成を例示した。しかし、連結装置２４が解離状態となるタイミングと異なるタイミングで警報音が発報される構成であってもよい。 For example, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the audio output device 36 issues a warning sound is the same as the timing at which the connecting device 24 enters the dissociated state. However, a configuration in which an alarm sound is issued at a timing different from the timing at which the coupling device 24 enters the dissociated state may be used.
例えば、警報音を発報する基準となる電波強度を、底板脱落強度と異ならせることが考えられる。また、連結装置２４が解離状態となる無線信号と、音声出力装置３６に警報音を発報させる無線信号と、を異なる無線信号とし、それぞれの無線信号を異なる領域に送信する構成としてもよい。 For example, it is conceivable that the radio wave intensity serving as a reference for issuing an alarm sound is different from the bottom plate dropout intensity. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which makes a radio signal from which the connection apparatus 24 will be in a dissociation state, and a radio signal which makes the audio | voice output apparatus 36 alert | report an alarm sound become different radio signals, and transmits each radio signal to a different area | region.
このように構成することで、連結装置２４が解離状態となる位置と、音声出力装置３６に警報音を発報させる位置とを変化させることができる。それにより、例えば、連結装置２４が解離状態となる前に警報音を発報させることで、誤って店舗２外部へ出てしまうことを防止できる。 By comprising in this way, the position where the connection apparatus 24 will be in a dissociation state, and the position which makes the audio | voice output apparatus 36 alert | report an alarm sound can be changed. Thereby, for example, it can prevent coming out of the store 2 accidentally by issuing a warning sound before the connecting device 24 enters the dissociated state.
また、上記実施形態においては、店舗内送信装置６からの無線信号をアンテナ２５が受信したときに、ソレノイドコイル３３および音声出力装置３６への出力を停止する構成を例示したが、出入口送信装置４からの電波強度が底板脱落強度を下回ったときや、ソレノイドコイル３３および音声出力装置３６への出力を開始してから所定時間経過したときに停止する構成であってもよい。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the antenna 25 received the radio signal from the in-store transmission apparatus 6, the structure which stops the output to the solenoid coil 33 and the audio | voice output apparatus 36 was illustrated, but the entrance transmission apparatus 4 It may be configured to stop when the radio wave intensity from the power falls below the bottom plate dropout strength or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the output to the solenoid coil 33 and the audio output device 36 was started.
また、上記実施形態においては、カゴ本体２１の下方向の開口２７は、買い物カゴ２０の下方向に位置する底面全体に形成されるものであって、底板２２は買い物カゴ２０の底面全体を閉塞する形状である構成を例示したが、開口２７は買い物カゴ２０の底面の一部領域のみに形成されており、底板２２はその開口２７を閉塞する形状であってもよい。 In the above embodiment, the downward opening 27 of the basket body 21 is formed on the entire bottom surface of the shopping basket 20, and the bottom plate 22 closes the entire bottom surface of the shopping basket 20. However, the opening 27 may be formed only in a partial region of the bottom surface of the shopping cart 20, and the bottom plate 22 may be configured to close the opening 27.
また、上記実施形態においては、カゴ本体２１と底板２２とは４つの連結装置２４で連結され、出入口送信装置４の無線信号を受信した時には、底板２２が脱落する構成を例示したが、商品を脱落させることができれば、その具体的な構成は特に限定されない。 In the above embodiment, the car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 are connected by the four connecting devices 24, and when the wireless signal of the entrance / exit transmission device 4 is received, the bottom plate 22 drops off. As long as it can be removed, the specific configuration is not particularly limited.
例えば、図１０（ａ）に示すように、連結装置２４は、底板２２の外縁部の一の辺４１の両端２箇所に備えられており、上記辺４１と反対側に位置する辺４２が、その辺４２に沿った回転軸４３を中心に回動可能にカゴ本体２１に取り付けられてなる構成が考えられる。この構成において、アンテナ２５が出入口送信装置４からの無線信号を受信すると、図１０（ｂ）に示すように、辺４１側のみが脱落する。 For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the connecting devices 24 are provided at two ends of one side 41 of the outer edge portion of the bottom plate 22, and the side 42 positioned on the opposite side of the side 41 is A configuration is conceivable that is attached to the car body 21 so as to be rotatable around a rotation shaft 43 along the side 42. In this configuration, when the antenna 25 receives a radio signal from the entrance / exit transmission device 4, only the side 41 side drops off as shown in FIG.
このように構成された買い物カゴ２０であれば、底板２２がカゴ本体２１から完全には解離しないので、底板２２を紛失することを防止できる。また、カゴ本体２１と底板２２との連結に必要な連結装置２４の数を低減できるとともに、回転軸４３により底板２２の回動動作がガイドされているため、辺４１側をカゴ本体２１側に移動させるだけで、柱部材２８を丸穴３８に挿入することができ、カゴ本体２１と底板２２とを連結する操作が容易になる。 With the shopping basket 20 configured in this manner, the bottom plate 22 is not completely dissociated from the basket body 21, so that the bottom plate 22 can be prevented from being lost. In addition, since the number of connecting devices 24 required for connecting the car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 can be reduced, and the rotation operation of the bottom plate 22 is guided by the rotating shaft 43, the side 41 side is moved to the car body 21 side. The column member 28 can be inserted into the round hole 38 simply by moving it, and the operation of connecting the car body 21 and the bottom plate 22 becomes easy.
また、上記実施形態においては、店舗２の出入口外側に電波領域５を形成して、買い物カゴ２０が電波領域５に進入した際に、連結装置２４が解離状態となり、カゴ機能を喪失させる構成を例示した。しかし、買い物カゴ２０が店舗２の外部に持ち出された場合にカゴ機能を喪失させることができれば、その具体的な構成は特に限定されない。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the radio wave area 5 is formed outside the entrance of the store 2 and the shopping cart 20 enters the radio wave area 5, the connecting device 24 is in a disengaged state and loses the basket function. Illustrated. However, the specific configuration is not particularly limited as long as the basket function can be lost when the shopping basket 20 is taken out of the store 2.
例えば、出入口送信装置４が、店舗２内部にのみ無線信号を送信し、連結装置２４は、アンテナ２５が出入口送信装置４からの無線信号を受信するときに連結状態となり、上記無線信号を受信しないときに解除状態となる構成が考えられる。このように構成することで、店舗２外部においては電波強度が弱まり、カゴ機能を喪失するため、買い物カゴ２０ごと商品が盗難されることを抑制できる。
