Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slot unit for a card reading device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Card readers are usually on a door of a machine or the like attached. They contain an insertion slot for the Map.
  • a reading unit is attached to the back of the door or wall. It picks up the card during the reading process and contains the corresponding one Scanning means (contact unit).
  • the reading unit has one Printed circuit board on which all electrical and electronic components contains for the individual functions of the reading device.
  • DE 197 38 412 A1 has disclosed the insertion slot of the card reading device to train in a separate unit, from from abuts the wall and led through approaches through an opening in the wall is.
  • the approaches are telescopic with jacks Reading unit together.
  • the reading unit can thereby from the slot unit solved, which can remain attached to the wall.
  • the assembly or Disassembling the reader is extremely easy. This facilitates the exchange and maintenance.
  • the housing of the slot unit Provide openings and at least one light source on the circuit board to attach, which shines out through the opening. So that the Functional status of the reading device are displayed.
  • the invention has for its object a slot unit for a card reader to be trained so that they also have control functions on the Read unit can transmit.
  • the slot unit is in the housing added its own circuit board, which has at least one push button having. It also has a light source that is close to the key switch is arranged.
  • the circuit board has either plug contacts or plugs to connect to plug contacts or sockets on a circuit board the reading unit. If the reader unit is therefore connected to the slot unit, the electrical connection between these parts takes place at the same time, both for energy supply and for the transmission of signals.
  • a button section of a button element is located in an opening of the housing arranged, which is formed from transparent material.
  • the Button element has a prismatic section with an irradiation surface, which is assigned to the light source and an emitting surface, which runs in the direction of the button section.
  • the light source is a light emitting diode (LED).
  • buttons section in the radial Distance is surrounded by an axial collar that is complementary Guide interacts on the inside of the housing.
  • the button element has at least one support section that the stroke of the button element limited by placing it on the circuit board of the slot unit.
  • Therefor can be a ring cylindrical section or at least one leg used become.
  • close the button element use to close the opening in the housing when operating a push button switch is not required or only as a light indicator should serve.
  • the support section rests on the circuit board the slot unit, and the button section is so far in the opening in the housing the slot unit withdrawn that actuation was no longer is possible.
  • the housing will have multiple openings. It is therefore useful if all button elements are molded in one piece and flexible Section are interconnected so that the actuation of the button elements possible independently of each other and also an overexposure is excluded from one button element to another.
  • the one-piece Training the pushbutton elements not only makes assembly easier represents, but also causes a correct arrangement and assignment of Button elements to the openings.
  • a slot unit is shown, as in principle from the mentioned DE 197 38 412 has become known. It has a housing 12 on the against the front of a wall, door or the like System comes with an insertion slot 14 for a chip card.
  • the insertion slot 14 is provided to the front with concave recesses, which should make it easier to insert or remove the card. On that but should not be discussed in detail.
  • Two approaches protrude from the rear of the slot unit 10, one of which one is shown at 16.
  • the approaches are supported by an appropriate Opening in the wall, not shown, passed through and with sockets connected to the reading unit, not shown, on the back of the wall.
  • the approaches have a side Recess 18 on.
  • Fig. 1 it can also be seen that the housing 12 in a row three openings 20, in each of which a cylindrical button section 22 is recorded.
  • the button sections 22 belong to three button elements 24, which are molded from plastic and each by a flexible web 26 are connected. They are therefore shaped as a unit. On the structure of the button elements 24 is discussed in more detail below.
  • a printed circuit board 28 is inserted in the housing 12 on the rear side screwed into it, for example via hole 30.
  • the printed circuit board has a number of connector pins 32. These are in sockets one Not shown printed circuit board inserted, with the slot unit 10th connected reading unit. Therefore, when the reader is plugged in on the slot unit 10 automatically the connector described manufactured.
  • the circuit board on the reading unit contains all components and Components for performing a read, including the Lock the card while reading, etc.
  • the pushbutton elements 24 are assigned pushbuttons on the printed circuit board 28, wherein a key switch is shown at 34. It has a plunger 36 which creates a conductive connection when pressed down. On the actuation the button switch will be discussed further below.
  • Each button switch 34 or button element 24 is a light source 38 assigned, for example an LED. Their direction of radiation is approximate perpendicular to the circuit board 28 away from this. Two further light sources 40, 42 on the circuit board 38 serve other lighting purposes; they shine in Fig. 2 downwards. These light sources should not be discussed in detail become.
  • FIG. 3 A section through the illustration according to FIG. 1 can be seen in FIG. 3, in particular the installation of the circuit board 28 and the button elements 24. The latter are clearer from Figures 4 and 5.
  • buttons 24 which are constructed identically are connected to each other via the webs 26. Since the webs 26 or their connection is flexible, however, is an actuation of a button element independent of the neighboring one.
  • annular collar 44 is arranged which, as shown in FIG. 3, with a corresponding ring cylinder section 46 in the housing 12 cooperates so that a guide is formed for the button element 24.
  • the collar together with the ring cylinder section serves as Seal and thus protects the circuit board 28 from moisture.
  • the collar 44 extends from a ceiling plate 48 to which on the opposite Four legs 50 are integrally formed. The legs 50 span a rectangle on.
  • a prism 52 is integrally formed on the ceiling plate 48, with a triangular cross-section over the plane of the neighboring legs protrudes.
  • An inclined surface 54 of the protruding Section is used for beam deflection, which will be discussed further below becomes.
  • the beam from the light source 38 is approximately parallel extends to the longitudinal extent of the button section 22 and approximately perpendicular enters prism section 52. He is doing this on the deflection surface 54 deflected upwards against the second deflection surface 56, namely in the Way that it steps outwards almost centrally through the button section, as indicated by the arrow path. It goes without saying that of course only then a beam can exit if the material of the button element 24 is transparent and the deflecting surfaces 54, 56 have a mirror effect to have.
  • a key element 24 can also be installed by constantly sitting on the circuit board 28, thus the section 22, which is otherwise used as a button section, the opening 20 closes.
  • buttons 20 With three holes 20 according to FIG. 1, three button elements 24 are provided, which are arranged in a predetermined order, according to the Arrangement of the openings 20, which according to FIG. 1 are not in one plane. Therefore, the button sections 22 have a different length.
  • the Training the button element unit causes only a single one Alignment of the unit of the button elements used in the housing 12 can be. In the event of twisting, assembly would not take place can.
