Library device and control method thereof

1. A library device comprising:

a storage shelf that stores a plurality of storage media;

a management unit that manages movement of the storage media stored in the storage shelf;

a switch cam that moves in a predetermined direction when a pressing force from a pressing member is removed;

a power supply shutoff unit that shuts off power supply to the management unit when the switch cam moves in the predetermined direction; and

a movement prevention unit that moves on a moving path of the switch cam by receiving an instruction from an operator and prevents the switch cam from moving in the predetermined direction.

2. The library device according to claim 1 , comprising:

a plurality of housings in which the storage shelf is mounted,

wherein the management unit includes a robot mechanism that puts the storage media into the storage shelf and takes the storage media out of the storage shelf and a conveyance mechanism that conveys the storage media between the housings, and

the power supply shutoff unit shuts off power supply to either one or both of the robot mechanism and the conveyance mechanism.

3. The library device according to claim 1 , wherein

the power supply shutoff unit shuts off power supply when the switch cam moves a predetermined distance, and

the movement prevention unit moves to within the predetermined distance from the switch cam in the predetermined direction and prevents the switch cam from moving a distance greater than the predetermined distance in the predetermined direction.

4. The library device according to claim 1 , wherein

the movement prevention unit includes a button, and

when the button is pressed by the operator, a protrusion portion connected to the button moves on the moving path of the switch cam and prevents the switch cam from moving in the predetermined direction.

5. The library device according to claim 1 , wherein

when the switch cam is pressed in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction by the pressing member in a state in which the movement prevention unit prevents the switch cam from moving in the predetermined direction, the movement prevention unit retreats from the moving path of the switch cam and releases preventing the switch cam from moving in the predetermined direction.

6. The library device according to claim 1 , wherein

the pressing member is arranged on a door of the library device.

7. The library device according to claim 1 , further comprising movement prevention releasing units that move the movement prevention unit from the moving path of the switch cam and release the state in which the movement prevention unit prevents the switch cam from moving in the predetermined direction.

8. The library device according to claim 7 , further comprising a detachable protection member that covers the movement prevention unit,

wherein the movement prevention releasing units are projections that are provided on a surface facing the movement prevention unit of the protection member, in a state in which the protection member covers the movement prevention unit, and press the movement prevention unit to move the movement prevention unit from the moving path of the switch cam when the protection member covers the movement prevention unit.

9. A control method of a library device including a storage shelf that stores a plurality of storage media, a management mechanism that manages movement of the storage media stored in the storage shelf, and a switch cam that moves in a predetermined direction when a pressing force from a pressing member is removed, the control method comprising:

shutting off power supply to the management mechanism when the switch cam moves in the predetermined direction; and

moving a movement prevention unit on the moving path of the switch cam by receiving an instruction from an operator and preventing the switch cam from moving in the predetermined direction.
