Description

  The present invention relates to a simplified wireless ticket gate apparatus and a wireless ticket gate system used in transportation such as railways, for example.

  Automatic ticket gates used in transportation such as railways read the magnetic information recorded on the inserted ticket, determine whether or not it is possible to pass, and if necessary, store the magnetic information on the inserted ticket. Recording and punch printing are performed.

  Some of these automatic ticket gates can read information on a ticket by wireless communication and determine whether or not the vehicle can pass without contact.

  Such a non-contact type automatic ticket gate includes a non-contact type dedicated device called a simple type. This non-contact type automatic ticket gate does not have a door or the like that prevents passage, and whether or not the passage is permitted is monitored by a display panel or the like.

  By the way, a simple automatic ticket gate is usually provided with a pole as a support member, and a ticket gate portion is attached to the pole. The ticket gate unit is provided with a communication antenna that reads information on a ticket by wireless communication, a display panel that displays a determination result based on the read information, a connection unit that is wirelessly connected to a host device, and the like.

  However, conventionally, since the ticket gate unit is fixedly attached to the pole fixed to the floor surface of the ticket gate, it can only be used at the position of the pole. For this reason, the place where the ticket gate unit is used is fixed and cannot be used at a desired place, and the use efficiency is poor.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wireless ticket gate that can be used at a desired place without fixing the place of use of the ticket gate unit. There is.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, a first aspect of the present invention provides a support member that is fixedly provided, and a support member that is detachably provided on the support member. Ticket gate means for ticket gate based on the received information.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there are provided a plurality of support members fixedly provided, and detachably provided on the plurality of support members, and an antenna receives information transmitted wirelessly from a wireless medium. And a plurality of ticket gate means for ticket gates based on the ticket gate.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of support members fixedly provided, and detachably provided on the plurality of support members, the information transmitted by radio from a wireless medium is received by the antenna, and the received information is included in the received information. A plurality of ticket gates for ticket gates based on the ticket gates, and an information processing unit connected to the ticket gates via a wireless LAN and transmitting / receiving ticket ticket information to / from the ticket gates.

  In the present invention, since the ticket gate means is detachably provided to the support means, the ticket gate means can be detached from the support means and used at a desired place as necessary, and the utilization efficiency of the ticket gate means can be improved. .

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing a state in which a simple wireless ticket gate 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is disposed at a ticket gate 2 of a station.

  A plurality of the wireless ticket gates 1 are arranged at predetermined intervals in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the passengers pass, and the ticket gate information is read by radio communication from a boarding ticket as the user's wireless medium. Based on the above, entry / exit from the ticket gate 2 to the station premises is permitted or restricted. This simple wireless ticket gate 1 does not have a door or the like for preventing passage, and restricts passage by display or the like as will be described later.

  The wireless ticket gate 1 includes a pole 4 as a support means fixedly installed at the ticket gate 2, and a ticket gate section 7 as a ticket gate means is detachably attached to an upper end portion of the pole 4 via a fixture 5. Installed on. The ticket gate unit 7 includes a communication unit 8 and a display unit 9.

  FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the ticket gate unit 7.

  The communication unit 8 has a communication antenna 11 on one side of the upper surface thereof, and a display lamp 12, a speaker sound generation unit 13, an LED lamp 14 and the like are arranged on the other side.

  The communication antenna 11 reads ticket gate information from a ticket held by a user by wireless communication. The display lamp 12 displays an operation instruction to the user, for example, please hold the boarding ticket again. The LED lamp 14 is turned on when entry / exit is permitted.

  A display panel 16 is provided on the front surface of the display unit 9. The display panel 16 displays that effect when entry / exit is not permitted, and displays “Thank you very much” etc. when it is permitted.

  In addition, the pass / fail judgment result is displayed on a monitoring panel, a display, or the like arranged in the station staff room.

  By the way, the above-described ticket gate unit 7 is removed by removing the fixture 5 from the pole 4.

  Further, the communication unit 8 and the display unit 9 of the ticket gate unit 7 are rotatably connected via a hinge 18. After the ticket gate unit 7 is removed, the communication unit 8 and the display unit 9 with the hinge 18 as a center. For example, it can be used as a desktop type as shown in FIG. 3 or a wall hanging type as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of ticket gate units 7 described above are connected to an information processing unit 21 as information processing means via a wireless LAN 20, and between the plurality of ticket gate units 7 and the information processing unit 21. Ticket gate information is transmitted and received for information processing.

  Next, a usage example of the above-described simple wireless ticket gate 1 will be described.

  As a first usage example, on a normal day when there are relatively few users, the number of the ticket gate unit 7 is limited by removing the ticket gate unit 7 from the pole 4, and when there are many users on a specific day, A plurality of ticket gate units 7 are all attached to the pole 4 and used side by side.

  As a second usage example, when there is a station staff in the station staff room, the ticket gate section 7 is removed from the pole 4, this ticket gate section 7 is installed and used in front of the station staff room, and the station staff is absent. The ticket gate unit 7 is attached to the pole 4 for use.

  As a third usage example, when the user is a wheelchair user or an infant user, the ticket gate unit 7 is detached from the pole 4 and the removed ticket gate unit 7 is used as a wheelchair user or an infant user. Install and use according to the height of the person. Operational ticket gate data can be sent and received at the place where the ticket gate unit 7 is removed and installed.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the ticket gate unit 7 is detachably provided to the pole 4, so that it can be used at a desired place by removing the ticket gate unit 7 from the pole 4. The utilization efficiency can be greatly improved.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified within the scope of the gist thereof.
