Automatic ticket gates have been introduced that take in and inspect a ticket carried by a user, permit the user to pass if the ticket is appropriate, and prevent the user from passing if the ticket is inappropriate.

This automatic ticket gate reads magnetic information (for example, an entrance station and a valid fare, etc.) recorded on one side (back side) of a ticket entered by a user at the time of entry, exit, or transfer. Based on the read information, it is determined whether or not the user is allowed to pass.

[0004] In recent years, tickets of various sizes have been used in automatic ticket gates. For example, a narrow one (standard ticket size) or a wide one (commuter ticket size) is used. For this reason, in the automatic ticket gate, after sorting various tickets, processing appropriate for each (printing process at the entrance station for commuter pass size coupon tickets or punching scissors for regular tickets, etc.)

In the SF processing section 24, when the CPU (judgment means) 42 judges that the surface of the ticket 2 is upward, for example, as shown in FIG.
The ticket 2 which has been rotated in the direction and carried in from the direction of arrow A is conveyed to the next step by the rotation of the drive roller 80 in the direction of arrow E without entering the reversing pocket 72.

On the other hand, when the CPU (judgment means) 42 judges that the rear surface (recording surface) of the ticket 2 is upward, the distribution unit 81 rotates in the direction of arrow F as shown in FIG. ,
The ticket 2 carried in from the direction of the arrow A is guided into the reversing pocket 72, where the rotating roller 77 and the supporting roller 7
5 is inserted. At this time, since the rotating roller 77 is rotationally driven by the driving roller 79 in a predetermined direction, for example, the direction of arrow G, the ticket 2 is further drawn into the reversing pocket 72 at this rotational speed, for example, 2000 mm / sec.

Then, the ticket 2 is sent to a detector (detection means) 7.
When the light of No. 6 is shut off, the CPU (control means) 42 immediately before the ticket 2 hits the stopper 72 a of the reversing pocket 72,
For example, SOL (drive means) 82 is turned on after a lapse of 5 msec to 6 msec after the interruption. The time required to reach the stopper 72a is 7.5 msec.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the reversing pocket 72 rotates in the direction of arrow H, for example, about 5 °, and the ticket 2 is held between the rotating roller 74 of the reversing pocket 72 and the driving roller 80. Is done. Since the support roller 75 is separated from the rotation roller 77 at the moment when the reversing pocket 72 rotates, the rotation force of the rotation roller 77 is not transmitted to the ticket 2.

On the other hand, since the driving roller 80 is constantly rotating in the direction of arrow E, the moment when the ticket 2 is nipped, the pressing force between the driving roller 80 and the rotating roller 74 and the direction of arrow E Is generated, and the ticket 2 is immediately discharged in the direction of arrow I while being guided from the reversing pocket 72 to the distribution unit 81.

As a result, the ticket 2 is transported in an inverted state. Note that the ticket 2 has a reversing pocket 7
When it is discharged from the second, the shut-off state of the detector 76 is released. Thereafter, the ticket 2 is conveyed to the next process such as punching and printing, and after processing, is discharged from the SF processing unit 24 and discharged from the outlet 4 of the automatic ticket gate main body 1.

As described above, according to the automatic ticket gate system of the present embodiment, the ticket 2 is first aligned on one side (front side) by the reversing mechanism 67 of the SF processing unit 24, so that the printing mechanism ( Thermal head 69 and support roller 70
, Etc.) can be provided, and the number of printing mechanisms can be reduced by half as compared with the related art. As a result, the size and cost of the entire apparatus can be reduced.

According to this automatic ticket gate, the ticket 2
It is not necessary to provide a reversing control circuit such as the drive rollers 79 and 80 in the reversing mechanism, and the reversing pocket 72 is merely mechanically rotated by about 5 °, so that there is almost no time and mechanical loss. Instead, the ticket 2 can be quickly inverted and discharged.

When the modified ticket 2 is used,
At the moment when the reversing pocket 72 rotates, the pressing force of the support roller 75 disappears. However, the ticket 2 is pressed by the reversing pocket 72 and is immediately nipped by the supporting roller 74 with a pressing force of about 500 gf and is reversed. In addition, the reliability is improved without causing an inversion error.

[0036]

As described above, according to the ticket processing apparatus of the present invention, even if the ticket is inserted on either side, the ticket is
Since the ticket face by reversing unit is aligned on one side, to alleviate the need for arranging a plurality of printing means subsequent transport path, it is possible to reduce the size and cost of the entire device.
