As will be described later, each of the plurality of printing units 47 is positioned corresponding to each thermal head 30a of the head substrate 30 when the IC card PB is taken into the card processing device 1 to read / write data. ing. At this time, a well-known electrode (not shown) provided on the surface of the IC card PB contacts the contact 42 of the mover 40. Four
Reference numeral 8 is an arrow mark that indicates the direction in which the IC card PB is inserted into the insertion port / return port 11a of the card processing apparatus 1.

Next, a method of assembling the IC card contactor unit of the card processing apparatus thus constructed will be described. First, in order to assemble the mover 40 to the guide member 35, as shown in FIG. 6, the guide member 35 is rotated around the shaft 38 in the direction of arrow H in the drawing with the shaft 34 as the rotation center. As a result, the opening 38 is released from being closed by the locking portion 6a of the upper case 2.
The mover 40 is inserted through the opened opening 38,
The engaging groove 41a is inserted into the guide protrusion 37c of the guide member 35, and the mover 40 is loaded on the guide member 35. The tension coil spring 43 is hooked to the spring hooking portion 37d of the guide member 35 and the spring hooking portion 41b of the mover 40 against the pulling force of the mover 40 so that the mover 40 is inserted in the card insertion direction, that is, the guide member. It is held by the guide member 35 in a state where movement habit is imparted to the front surface portion 36 side of 35. In this way, the contact 42 of the mover 40 supported by the guide member 35 is separated from the head substrate 30 and is kept in a state of being retracted from the rear card transport path 31.

The guide member 35 is fixed to the upper case 2 by rotating the guide member 35 on the side of the opening 38 in the direction opposite to the arrow H and screwing the screw 39 into the stud 4c. To remove the mover 40 from the guide member 35, the screw 39 is unscrewed, the guide member 35 is rotated in the direction of the arrow H, and the tension coil spring 43 is attached to the spring hook portions 37d and 41b.
The moving element 40 can be taken out from the opening 38 by removing the moving element 40 from the opening 38. As described above, since only the moving element 40 can be easily attached and detached from the guide member 35, the moving element 40 can be easily replaced at the time of maintenance and inspection due to wear of the contact element 42 and the guide member attached to the upper case 2. Since it is attached via 35, positioning is unnecessary.

The upper case 2 to which the moving element 40 is attached is attached to the base 3 in the following manner. First, the upper case 2 is tilted with respect to the base 3, the hook portion 6 is engaged with the shaft 25, and the bottom portion 4 of the upper case 2 is superposed on the upper surface portion 12 of the base 3 with the shaft 25 as the center of rotation. Then, the front end of the upper case 2 is closed to the base 3. At this time, the lock member 9 slightly swings against the biasing force, the lock pin (not shown) is fitted into the fitting hole 11b of the upper case 2, and the upper case 2 is attached to the base 3. Further, the bottom portion 4 of the upper case 2 and the upper surface portion 12 of the base 3 form a card transport path 13 that is continuous with the card insertion port 11a.

Next, the processing operation in the card processing apparatus thus constructed will be described. First, magnetic card PA
The processing operation will be described. The solenoid 32 is in the inoperative state in advance, and the selector 29 is in the horizontal state, that is, the state shown in FIG. Further, the mover 40 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), it is separated from the rear transport path 31 and retracted. In this state, when the magnetic card PA is inserted from the insertion opening / return opening 11a, the detector (not shown) detects that the magnetic card PA has been inserted, and the motor (not shown) rotates in the forward direction to drive. The roller 17 rotates, the drive belt 16 travels, and the driven belt 7 also travels.

The magnetic card PA is sandwiched between the drive belt 16 and the driven belt 7, conveyed in the direction of arrow A, and taken into the card conveyance path 13. The taken-in magnetic card PA is discriminated as a magnetic card by a card type discriminating means (not shown) for discriminating between a magnetic card and an IC card provided in the card carrying path 13. Further, in the magnetic card PA transported in the card transport path 13, the side force member 26 is biased in the direction of arrow C as shown in FIG. The side edge of the magnetic head 20 is pressed by the side plate 22.
The magnetic data is read at.

At this time, since the selector 29 is kept in the horizontal state, the magnetic card PA is extended to the card conveying path extension 30.
Is conveyed to the rear end of the card transport path 13 and the leading edge of the card transport path 13
When it is transported to, the reading of magnetic data is completed. Since the card type discriminating means has already discriminated the card as a magnetic card, the tip of the magnetic card PA is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), the conveyance is stopped before the contact with the engaging convex portion 41c of the moving element 40. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the magnetic card PA having a relatively low rigidity from coming into contact with the engaging convex portion 41c and being bent or damaged. Also,
The mover 40 does not move and therefore the contact 4
2 does not slidably contact the magnetic card PA, and the contact 42
Is not worn or damaged.

If the card is a normal card, the service is provided based on the data read by the magnetic head 20, and when the service is completed, the motor (not shown) reverses and the inside of the rear transport path 31 of the card transport path 13 is rotated. The magnetic card PA located at is conveyed to the card conveying path 13 in the opposite direction, the magnetic head 20 rewrites the value information such as the balance, and the punch unit 19 forms a punch hole corresponding to the rewriting of the value information. It is pierced and returned from the insertion / return port 11a.

Under the condition that the used card is stored or when the card is stored based on the result of reading the above-mentioned data, the solenoid 32 is operated by the storage signal to attract the plunger 32a, Through the engagement piece 29e, the selector 29 swings in the E direction around the shaft 25 to face the entrance of the rear transportation path 31 of the card transportation path 13 and open the entrance of the card storage portion 23. , Can store magnetic cards.
The magnetic card stored in the card storage portion 23 can be taken out by swinging the lid 33 around the shaft 25 to open the rear portion of the card storage portion 23.

Next, the processing operation of the IC card PB will be described. Similarly to the above, the solenoid 32 is in the inoperative state, and the selector 29 is in the horizontal state, that is, the state shown in FIG. The mover 40 is separated from the rear transport path 31 and retracted as shown in FIG. In this state,
When the IC card PB is inserted from the insertion opening / return opening 11a, the card transport path 13 is inserted like the magnetic card PA described above.
Taken in. The taken-in IC card PB is discriminated as an IC card by a card type discriminating means (not shown). When it is determined that the IC card is the IC card, the IC card PA is conveyed to the rear conveyance path 31 of the card conveyance path 13 and the tip thereof abuts on the engaging convex portion 41c of the mover 40.

Here, the above-mentioned card type discrimination means I
Since it is determined that the card is a C card, the IC card PA is further conveyed and moved along with the mover 40, and the mover 40 is moved by the distance l until the back surface portion 41d comes into contact with the locking portion 6a of the hook portion 6. Let me stop. The mover 40 has a distance l
While moving, along the guide protrusion 37c of the guide member 35 into which the engaging groove 41a of the moving element 40 is inserted, as shown in FIG.
As shown by, the contact 42 moves in the direction of the arrow G, contacts the electrode (not shown) of the IC card PB, and is electrically connected.

At this time, when the IC card PB has a warp, the ridge 41e is more than the contactor 42 in the IC card PB.
Since it is located in the insertion direction of B, as shown in FIG.
During the movement of the moving element 40 in the G direction, first, the ridge 4
1e contacts the surface of the IC card PB and the IC card PB
Is pressed against the surface of the head substrate 30, the warp of the IC card PB is elastically deformed and corrected. Therefore, the contact 42 is contacted with an electrode (not shown) of the IC card PB whose warpage is corrected, and thus contact failure of the contact 42 or printing failure of the printing portion 30a of the head substrate 30 described later occurs. To be prevented.

Since a pair of the ridges 41e are provided on both sides of the contact 42, the warp is corrected by the contact 42.
Made evenly on both sides of. Further, in correcting the warp, since the IC card PB is conveyed below the mover 40 while the mover 40 is in the retracted state, the warped portion of the IC card PB is not caught by the ridge 41e, and the IC
After the tip of the card PB comes into contact with the engaging projection 41c of the mover 40, the mover 40 moves in the direction of arrow G, that is, diagonally above, so that the ridge 41e smoothly moves.
Correct B warp.

When the contact 42 is in contact with an electrode (not shown) of the IC card PB and is electrically connected, service is provided, and when the service is completed,
Value information such as the balance is rewritten via the contact 42. In response to the rewriting of the value information, the thermal head 30a of the head substrate 30 is selectively driven, and a black dot is printed on the printing portion 47a corresponding to the used amount of money on the back surface of the IC card PB. To be done. Therefore,
The remaining amount that can be used can be confirmed by the amount display unit 46 corresponding to the printing unit 47b where the black dots are not printed.

Since the balance display section 45 is provided on the IC card PB as described above, the user can visually check the balance, so that the next IC card can be prepared in advance. . Also, the head substrate 30
Is provided on the selector 29 which swings in response to the storage signal when the storage condition of the magnetic card PA is satisfied.
Since the parts are commonly used without newly adding a member for mounting the parts, the number of parts can be reduced and the mechanism can be simplified.

When printing is performed on the balance display portion 45, a motor (not shown) reverses rotation to move the IC card PB located in the rear conveyance path 31 of the card conveyance path 13 to the card conveyance path 13 in the opposite direction. It is transported and returned from the insertion / return port 11a. When the IC card PB is conveyed from the rear conveyance path 31 to the card conveyance path 13 in the opposite direction, the mover 40 moves in the direction opposite to the arrow G in FIG. 5B by the restoring force of the tension coil spring 43. , The contact 42 is restored to the retracted position separated from the rear conveyance path 31 as shown in FIG.

[0033]

As described above, according to the present invention,
By providing the thermal printing means for printing the balance on the back side of the IC card, the user can visually check the balance, so that the next IC card can be prepared in advance according to the balance. Therefore, it is possible to prevent that the service is not provided during the use, and the usability is improved.

Further, according to the present invention, the heat-sensitive printing means is provided on the surface of the selector for storing the magnetic card, which is operated by the storing signal under the card storing condition, so that the rear end portion of the card conveying path is normally provided. Since the selector for guiding the card to the storing side by the storing signal when the card storing condition is formed can also be used for mounting the thermal printing means, a new member for mounting the thermal printing means is not required,
Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced and the mechanism can be simplified.
