Description

  The present invention relates to a card processing apparatus that inserts a card from a card insertion slot, returns the card from the card insertion slot after card processing.

  Conventionally, when a card is returned from a card insertion slot by a moving member, the card sometimes jumps out of the card insertion slot due to inertial force when the card is returned by the moving member (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2007-34594 A

  In the card processing apparatus of Patent Document 1 described above, a predetermined tensile load is required for the first tension coil spring attached to the moving member in order to bias the moving member toward the card insertion slot. If the load is too weak, the card will not be ejected from the card insertion slot and card clogging will occur. Conversely, if the spring tension is too strong, the card will pop out of the card insertion slot.

  Therefore, when the card is ejected from the card insertion slot, it is assumed that the side of the card is pressed (side pressure) by the pressing part of the braking member. However, if the side pressure is too strong, the card is inserted from the card insertion slot. There is a problem that the card is jammed without being ejected, and conversely, if the lateral pressure is too weak, the card pops out from the card insertion slot.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a card processing apparatus that can stably eject a card in any state without jumping out from the card return position. .

The portion 5b (FIGS. 4 and 5) is slidably engaged in the direction of the arrow AB, and is erected on the surface-side base 1fm with respect to a slider groove 5e provided vertically in the center of the slider 5. The projecting portion 1e thus engaged is engaged.

  The slider 5 has a card support portion 5b (FIGS. 4 and 5) that protrudes in the direction of arrow E perpendicular to the slider groove 5e, and the card support portion 5b is a base groove 1c, 1c of the surface side base 1fm. Projecting in the direction of arrow E. Further, the slider 5 is formed with an engagement hole 5 a for engaging with a claw 10 b of the stopper 10 provided below the slider 5 at a predetermined position above the extension line of the stopper 10.

  Two springs 6, 6 are provided on the left and right sides of the slider 5, the lower left and right ends of the slider 5 and the lower ends of the springs 6, 6 are attached, and the springs 6, 6 are indicated by arrows AB. The upper ends of the springs 6 and 6 are attached at predetermined positions on the surface-side base 1fm so as to be parallel to each other in the direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the springs 6 and 6 are card standby positions when the card CA is not yet inserted and when the card CA is ejected from the card insertion / return port 1a. The slider 5 is always urged in the direction of arrow A toward the card insertion / return port 1a with a predetermined load so as to return the slider 5 to the card return position. That is, the springs 6 and 6 constitute first urging means.

  A stopper 10 provided below the slider 5 is attached to a boss 1g projecting in the direction of arrow F from the surface side base 1fm so as to be rotatable about a shaft 10a. A first electromagnetic solenoid 9 is provided in the vicinity of the stopper 10, and a pin 11 fixed to the plunger 9 a is slidably engaged with the long hole 10 h of the engaging portion 10 c of the stopper 10.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first electromagnetic solenoid 9 has the plunger 9a positioned upward when no current is applied. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the stopper 10 is rotated clockwise in FIG. The claw 10 b of the stopper 10 is biased in the direction so that the state where the claw 10 b is engaged with the engagement hole 5 a of the slider 5 is maintained.

  On the other hand, since the plunger 9a is attracted when the current is applied to the first electromagnetic solenoid 9, the pin 11 moves downward together with the plunger 9a as shown in FIG.

  At this time, the pin 11 moves downward in the long hole 10h of the engaging portion 10c of the stopper 10, and the plunger 9a continues to be sucked while being in contact with the lower end of the long hole 10h. The stopper 10 is rotated counterclockwise in the figure, and the claw 10b of the stopper 10 is disengaged from the engagement hole 5a of the slider 5. The slider 5 constitutes a card moving means for moving the card CA in the arrow AB direction, and the slider CA, the electromagnetic solenoid 9 and the stopper 10 return the card CA upward from the card insertion / return port 1a. A card return unit is configured.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a back surface side base 1 bm disposed in parallel with the front surface side base 1 fm is provided at a position spaced apart from the front surface side base 1 fm of the base 1 by a predetermined distance. Between the front surface side base 1fm and the back surface side base 1bm, a shooter 19 having a substantially L-shaped cross section and having a protruding portion 19c protruding toward the direction of arrow E is provided at the tip thereof. The shooter 19 is supported so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 20 at the upper end portion of the back side base 1bm.

  The tip of the card support portion 5b of the slider 5 is brought into contact with the back surface of the shooter 19 opposite to the protruding portion 19c. Thus, the card CA inserted from the card insertion / return port 1a is temporarily held by the front surface side base 1fm, the back surface of the shooter 19 facing the front surface side base 1fm, and the card support portion 5b of the slider 5. A card for performing predetermined processing (data reading and data writing) on the card CA by the reader / writer 12 (FIGS. 4 and 5) arranged on the back side of the held card CA. A holding space CHK is formed.

  A total of four claws (not shown) for locking the card CA inserted into the card holding space CHK from both the left and right sides are provided on the rear side of the shuter 19 in two places on the left and right sides. When inserted into the holding space CHK, one end portion of the card CA is brought into contact with the card support portion 5b of the slider 5 and both left and right end portions of the card CA are locked by the four claws. It is configured. That is, the shooter 19 constitutes a card holding unit that holds the card CA in the card holding space CHK.

  A card lead-out path 1b is formed between the front surface side base 1fm and the back surface side base 1bm below the projecting portion 19c of the shooter 19. Here, the front surface side base 1fm extends from the stepped portion 1fd in the middle thereof in the direction of arrow B and has an inclined portion inclined in the direction of arrow E, and the back surface side base 1bm also extends in the direction of arrow B. And an inclined portion inclined in the direction of arrow E from the middle.

  That is, the card lead-out path 1b is inclined at a predetermined angle. When the card CA is not returned from the card insertion / return slot 1a but is collected as it is, the shooter 19 is centered on the rotation shaft 20. The card CA in the card holding space CHK is stored in a card storage box (not shown) below from the card lead-out path 1b.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the shutters 3 and 3 swing between the shutter closed position (FIG. 8) and the shutter open position (FIG. 9) about the rotation shaft 3a with respect to the front side base 1fm. It is supported freely.

  One end portions 3d and 3d of the shutters 3 and 3 are engaged with link grooves 4a and 4a formed in the links 4 and 4, and the end portions are associated with the movement of the link 4 in the arrow AB direction. 3d and 3d are slid along the link grooves 4a and 4a.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8, at the time of card read / write of the card CA when the slider 5 is moved downward together with the links 4 and 4, the other ends 3u and 3u of the shutters 3 and 3 are located in the card holding space CHK. It is positioned at a shutter closing position that closes the upper opening.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the damper 50 as the second urging means when the slider 5 is moved upward together with the links 4 and 4 (described later), the end portions of the shutters 3 and 3 are operated. 3u and 3u are positioned at the shutter opening position that opens the upper opening of the card holding space CHK.

  As shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 9, a step portion 1fd of the surface side base 1fm, a support column 1st planted from the surface side base 1fm and arranged to face the step portion 1fd, and a slider from the surface side base 1fm The first rib Lb1 that is erected toward the side 5 and integrated with the support column 1st at the lower end thereof, and the second ribs that are arranged in parallel to each other at the left and right sides of the first rib Lb1 by the width of the damper 50. The rib Lb2 and the third rib Lb3 form a damper holding space ds for storing and holding the damper 50, and the damper 50 made of a compression coil spring is disposed in the damper holding space ds.

  At the lower end portion of the slider 5 facing the lower end portion of the damper 50, a slider projection 5c as a second urging means contact portion is formed so as to protrude toward the inclined portion of the surface side base 1fm. As shown in FIG. 6, the slider protrusion 5c of the slider 5 is provided so as to face the column 1st planted on the surface side base 1fm, but in order to avoid colliding with the column 1st. The tip has a shape divided into two.

  The damper 50 is provided in the damper holding space ds so as to be able to bias the slider protrusion 5c of the slider 5 in the direction of arrow B starting from the step portion 1fd of the surface side base 1fm. Here, the urging force of the springs 6 and 6 toward the card insertion / return port 1a in the direction of arrow A only needs to be set larger than the urging force of the damper 50 in the direction of arrow B. By the damper 50 and the slider protrusion 5c of the slider 5, the strength of the bias when the card CA is moved to the card insertion / return port 1a via the slider 5 by the springs 6 and 6 is not contacted with the card CA. A braking means for controlling is configured.

<Card insertion and return operation by card processing device>
At the card standby position where the card CA is not inserted into the card processing apparatus 100 (FIG. 2), the short direction of the card CA is the arrow AB direction from the card insertion / return port 1a as shown in FIG. When the card CA is inserted along the card CA, the card CA is in a state in which one end (longitudinal direction) of the card CA is in contact with the card support 5b of the slider 5 biased upward by the springs 6 and 6. Is continuously pushed downward, the slider 5 is pushed down against the urging force of the springs 6 and 6 together with the card CA (FIG. 3).

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the claw 10b of the stopper 10 biased in the clockwise direction in the drawing and the engagement hole 5a of the slider 5 pushed down from above with insertion of the card CA are engaged. When the slider 5 stays at that position, the card CA is held in the card holding space CHK while being locked by the claw of the shooter 19.

  In this case, the reader / writer 12 enters the cart reading / writing state with respect to the card CA, but the lower end portion of the compression coil spring 100 and the slider protrusion portion 5c of the slider 5 are not in contact with each other as shown in FIG. Remains.

  Thereafter, when a return command is given to the card CA, a current is applied to the first electromagnetic solenoid 9 in accordance with the return command, and the plunger 9a is attracted downward, so that the pin 11 moves downward together with the plunger 9a. Then, the pin 11 moves downward in the long hole 10h of the engaging portion 10c of the stopper 10 (FIG. 5), and the plunger 9a continues to be further sucked while being in contact with the lower end of the long hole 10h. Thus, the stopper 10 is rotated counterclockwise about the shaft 10a.

  As a result, the engagement state between the claw 10b of the stopper 10 and the engagement hole 5a of the slider 5 is released, and the slider 5 is pushed up toward the card insertion / return port 1a with the urging force of the springs 6 and 6. The card CA in which one end is in contact with the card support portion 5b of the slider 5 is also pushed together with the slider 5 toward the card insertion / return port 1a.

  Here, when the engagement state between the claw 10b of the stopper 10 and the engagement hole 5a of the slider 5 is released, the slider 5 is pushed up to the card insertion / return port 1a and engaged with the slider 5. The links 4 and 4 are pushed upward, and one end portions 3d and 3d of the shutters 3 and 3 slide along the link grooves 4a and 4a of the links 4 and 4 as the links 4 and 4 are pushed up. As a result, the shutters 3 and 3 are rotated in the clockwise direction in the drawing around the rotation shafts 3a and 3a, so that the other ends 3u and 3u of the shutters 3 and 3 are positioned from the shutter closed position to the shutter open position. It is done.

  At the same time, the slider protrusion 5c of the slider 5 pushed up at a high speed by the springs 6 and 6 is brought into contact with the lower end of the damper 50 while avoiding a collision with the support 1st of the front side base 1fm, and this contact is made. The position of the slider 5 is taken as the damper operating position (damper operating), and the slider 5 gradually decreases while decreasing the speed toward the card insertion / return port 1a while resisting the biasing force of the damper 50 in the direction of arrow B. Pushed up.

  The damper operating position is also the shutter opening position of the shutters 3 and 3, and simultaneously with the opening operation of the shutters 3 and 3, the card CA is moved to the card insertion port / return port 1 a via the slider 5 by the springs 6 and 6. The strength of the urging force when moving the card CA is controlled, and one end of the card CA is positioned at the take-out position (FIGS. 2 and 9) slightly exposed from the card insertion / return port 1a.

  That is, the slider 5 gradually weakens the biasing force of the springs 6 and 6 in the direction of arrow A by the biasing force of the damper 50 in the direction of arrow B at the damper operating position, and finally the biasing force of the damper 50 and the spring 6 , 6 is stopped at the card return position (FIG. 2) in which the urging force is balanced (FIG. 2), the pushing up of the card CA toward the card insertion / return port 1a by the slider 5 is stopped. The situation of jumping out from 1a can be prevented beforehand.

  As a result, the user pulls out the card CA from the card insertion slot / return slot 1a while grasping the other end of the card CA with a finger at the card return position where one end of the card CA is exposed from the card insertion slot / return slot 1a. The card CA can be reliably returned.

  In this way, the upward biasing force of the card CA via the slider 5 by the springs 6 and 6 is gradually weakened by the damper 50 in a non-contact manner with the card Ca. Compared with the case where the card return operation is performed by laterally pressing the side surface, the card CA can be discharged while decreasing the speed from the take-out position toward the card return position without directly contacting the card CA.

  Thus, regardless of the type and state of the card CA (the friction coefficient and the degree of bending of the card CA), the card CA does not jump out of the card insertion / return port 1a, and the other end of the card CA is inserted into the card. The card CA can be discharged to the card return position exposed from the mouth / return port 1a, and the card CA can be returned to the user.

  Incidentally, when the return operation of the card CA is performed using the conventional side pressure, if the short direction of the card CA is the insertion direction and the return direction, the distance that the pressing portion of the braking member contacts the side surface of the card CA is shortened. Therefore, the risk that the card CA jumps out of the card insertion / return port 1a is increased.

  However, since the card processing apparatus 100 can perform the card return operation without directly contacting the card CA, even if the card return operation is performed using the short direction of the card CA as the insertion direction and the return direction, The other end of the card CA can be reliably discharged to the card return position exposed from the card insertion / return port 1a without jumping out from the insertion / return port 1a.

<Second Embodiment>
In the second embodiment, the basic configuration is the same as that of the card processing apparatus 100 in the first embodiment. Instead of providing the damper 50, as shown in FIG. Since the resin spring 60 as the third urging means is formed at 1fm, the configuration of the resin spring 60 will be mainly described.

  As shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 13, between the vertically long base grooves 1c and 1c provided substantially parallel to the center of the surface-side base 1fm, the tip end portion from the surface-side base 1fm toward the slider 5 side is provided. The resin spring 60 bent so that the 60a slightly protrudes is integrally formed in a state where the resin spring 60 is cut out from the surface side base 1fm.

  The resin spring 60 is formed to be approximately half the thickness of the front surface side base 1fm, and can be elastically deformed in the direction of the arrow EF in the drawing integrally with the tip end portion 60a. The front end portion 60a of the resin spring 60 protrudes in the direction of arrow F, and when the slider 5 is moved upward toward the card insertion / return port 1a, it serves as a third biasing means contact portion of the slider. When the abutting surface 5m is abutted, the front end portion 60a of the resin spring 60 is pushed back in the direction of arrow E by the abutting surface 5m of the slider 5.

  By the contact surface 5m of the resin spring 60 and the slider 5, the strength of the urging force when the card CA is moved to the card insertion / return port 1a via the slider 5 by the springs 6 and 6 is not in contact with the card CA. The braking means to be controlled is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 11, at the time of cart reading / writing on the card CA held in the card holding space CHK, the tip end portion 60a of the resin spring 60 and the contact surface 5m of the slider 5 are not in contact with each other. Remains.

  Thereafter, when a return instruction is given to the card CA, the engagement state between the claw 10b of the stopper 10 and the engagement hole 5a of the slider 5 is released, so that the slider 5 is vigorously driven by the urging force of the springs 6 and 6. The card CA pushed up toward the insertion / return port 1a and having one end abutted against the card support 5b of the slider 5 together with the slider 5 toward the card insertion / return port 1a together. It is pushed up vigorously.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the engagement state between the claw 10b of the stopper 10 and the engagement hole 5a of the slider 5 is released, the slider 5 is pushed up to the card insertion / return port 1a and the slider 5 is engaged. The coupled links 4 and 4 are pushed upward, and one end portions 3d and 3d of the shutters 3 and 3 slide along the link grooves 4a and 4a of the links 4 and 4 as the links 4 and 4 are pushed up. Therefore, the shutters 3 and 3 are rotated clockwise around the rotation shafts 3a and 3a, and the other ends 3u and 3u of the shutters 3 and 3 are positioned from the shutter closed position to the shutter open position. It is done.

  At the same time, the contact surface 5m of the slider 5 pushed up vigorously by the springs 6 and 6 is brought into contact with the front end portion 60a of the resin spring 60 of the surface side base 1fm, and the position at the time of contact is operated as a damper. As the position (damper operation), the tip end 60a of the resin spring 60 is gradually pushed back by the contact surface 5m of the slider 5, so that the slider 5 can be inserted into the card while resisting the urging force of the resin spring 60 in the direction of arrow F. It is gradually pushed up while decreasing the speed toward the mouth / return port 1a.

  The damper operating position is also the shutter opening position of the shutters 3 and 3, and simultaneously with the opening operation of the shutters 3 and 3, the card CA is moved to the card insertion port / return port 1 a via the slider 5 by the springs 6 and 6. The strength of the urging force when moving the card CA is controlled by the resin spring 60, and one end of the card CA is positioned at a position where the card CA is slightly exposed from the card insertion / return port 1a.

  In other words, the urging force of the springs 6 and 6 in the direction of arrow A is gradually weakened by the urging force of the resin spring 60 in the direction of arrow F at the damper operating position, and finally, as shown in FIG. Since the pushing of the card CA toward the card insertion / return port 1a by the slider 5 is stopped at the card return position where the biasing force of the resin spring 60 and the biasing force of the springs 6 and 6 are balanced, the card CA is a card. A situation of jumping out from the insertion / return port 1a can be prevented in advance.

  As a result, the user grasps the other end of the card CA with a finger at the card return position where the entire surface of one end of the card CA is exposed from the card insertion / return port 1a through the card insertion / return port 1a. The card CA can be reliably returned by pulling it out.

  In this way, the upward biasing force of the card CA via the slider 5 by the springs 6 and 6 is gradually weakened by the resin spring 60 in a non-contact manner with the card Ca. Compared to the case where the card return operation is performed by laterally pressing the end face of the card, the card CA can be discharged while decreasing the speed from the take-out position toward the card return position without directly contacting the card CA.

  Thus, regardless of the type and state of the card CA (the friction coefficient and the degree of bending of the card CA), the card CA does not jump out of the card insertion / return port 1a, and the other end of the card CA is inserted into the card. The card CA can be discharged to the card return position exposed from the mouth / return port 1a, and the card CA can be returned to the user.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the longitudinal direction of the card CA is changed. An insertion direction and a return direction may be used.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the other end of the card CA can be taken out slightly from the card insertion / return port 1a as shown in FIGS. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the other end of the card CA extends from the arc-shaped portion of the card insertion / return port 1a as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. A state in which only a part of the other end portion is exposed may be set as an extractable position.

  Furthermore, in the above-described second embodiment, the case where the slider 5 provided with the slider protrusion 5c is used has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the slider protrusion 5c is formed. A conventional slider that is not present may be used.
