Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate for determining whether or not a user can pass on the basis of ticket information recorded in a ticket when a plurality of tickets are inserted in an insertion slot.

  Conventionally, a number of automatic ticket gates corresponding to a plurality of tickets that can be inserted into a slot are installed at many stations. As ticket types, there are, for example, a ticket, a limited express ticket, a commuter pass, and a prepaid card. The automatic ticket gate that supports multiple cards reads the ticket information recorded for each ticket that has been inserted into the slot, and determines whether the user can pass based on the ticket information read here. . Multi-ticket automatic ticket gates can be used by users with multiple tickets required for entry and exit, improving user convenience and reducing the number of ticket gates can do.

  For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, the automatic ticket gate corresponding to a plurality of sheets is first used until the reading of the ticket information recorded on all the tickets inserted into the slot is completed. It has a holding section that holds the tickets read from the ticket information. The holding unit is provided in a sub-conveying path provided separately from a main conveying path that connects a slot for inserting a ticket and a discharge port for discharging the inserted ticket. The sub-transport path is connected to the main transport path by an entrance of tickets that are transported along the main transport path and an exit that sends out the reserved tickets to the main transport path. A general holding unit is a configuration in which a plurality of stoppers are provided along the sub-transport path to stop the tickets on the sub-transport path, and each stopper is sent one by one from the main transport path. It is a structure to stop and hold. Specifically, when a plurality of tickets are inserted into the slot, the inserted tickets are fed out one by one, and the ticket information is read by the reading head while being transported along the main transport path. The tickets are sent to the transport path and the tickets sent to the sub transport path are put on hold in order from the stopper on the outlet side of the sub transport path. Then, when the ticket information is read from all the tickets entered into the slot at this time, whether or not the user is allowed to pass is determined based on the ticket information read this time.

  In addition, for the tickets that read the ticket information last, the tickets are transported to the discharge port side without being sent from the main transport path to the sub transport path, and then the tickets that are held in the holding section are close to the exit side. Release the hold in order from the ticket and send it to the main transport path. For the tickets sent to the main transport path, post-processing such as data recording, printing, punching, etc. (processing performed after determining passability) is performed as necessary. In order to prevent the subsequent tickets from colliding with the post-processed tickets, the tickets that have been sent to the main transport path and started the post-processing are transported to a predetermined position. After that, the next boarding ticket is released and sent to the main transport path.

In the case of an automatic ticket gate that can handle a plurality of tickets, the number of tickets that can be put is the maximum number of tickets that can be held plus one.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-203516

  However, the conventional automatic ticket gate for multiple sheets, as described above, after the tickets previously sent to the main transport path have been transported to a predetermined position, the next in order from the exit side of the sub transport path The reservation of the tickets is released and sent to the main transport path. For this reason, when a plurality of tickets are held in the holding section, the transport distance from the holding position to the predetermined position of the tickets released from the holding becomes longer in the order of releasing the holding. The time required for post-processing becomes longer in the order of canceling. As a result, there is a problem that the time required for the ticket gate processing becomes long and the ticket gate efficiency is not good.

  The object of the present invention is to reduce the time required for post-processing performed after the pass / fail determination by shortening the transport distance of the tickets after the cancellation of the reservation for all the tickets that are put on hold. It is to provide an automatic ticket gate with improved performance.

  The automatic ticket gate of the present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.

Transport means for delivering and transporting the inserted tickets one by one when a plurality of tickets are inserted into the slot;
Ticket information reading means for reading ticket information from the tickets being conveyed by the conveying means;
A ticket holding means for holding the ticket information read by the ticket information reading means one by one at different positions;
After the boarding ticket information reading means reads the boarding ticket information from all the tickets put into the slot, the holding for controlling the transportation of the boarding tickets held by the boarding ticket holding means Control means;
Post-processing means for discharging or collecting the tickets by post-processing the tickets controlled by the holding control means,
The hold control means includes
A sending process of sending from the ticket such holding means route to exit to remove the hold for tickets such that are pending in a position which is the shortest of the ticket such holding means,
If the ticket holding means holds the remaining tickets, the reservation is released at this time and the route to the holding position of the tickets sent from the ticket holding means is held at the position where the route is the shortest. Releases the hold only for the tickets that have been made, and transports them to the hold position of the tickets that have been sent this time from the ticket holding means by the sending process , re-holds them , and other tickets that are on hold repeated every time the ticket such that sent the last time from the ticket such holding means and hold position changing process to continue without releasing the hold, a is transported to a predetermined position for like, the ticket such holding means Send all tickets on hold.

In this configuration, the transport means feeds and transports a plurality of tickets inserted into the insertion slot one by one, and the ticket information reading means reads the ticket information recorded for each ticket. The ticket holding means holds the tickets obtained by reading the ticket information one by one at different positions. For all the tickets entered into the slot, when the reading of the ticket information is completed, the reservation control means holds the ticket at the position where the route to the exit of the ticket reservation means is the shortest. The holding process is canceled and the ticket is sent from the ticket holding means, and the route to the holding position where the ticket sent from the current ticket holding means is held is held at the shortest position. Release the hold only for the tickets, transport to the hold position of the tickets sent this time and re-hold, and change the hold position for other held tickets without releasing the hold The process is repeated every time the previously sent ticket is conveyed to a predetermined position, and all the held tickets are sent from the ticket holding means. The predetermined position, tickets such that sent later has set at the position not to be rear-end the ticket such that dispatched earlier.

  For the tickets sent from the ticket holding means, post-processing performed after the pass / fail determination is executed, and the tickets are discharged or collected. This post-processing is processing such as recording and printing of ticket information, punching holes, etc., and these processing are performed as necessary.

  In this way, after releasing and sending out the tickets held at the holding position where the route to the exit of the ticket holding means is the shortest, the remaining tickets held at this time Since the reserved position is transported to the reserved position where the route to the exit is the shortest and is re-held, the transport distance of the tickets after release of the reservation can be shortened for each reserved ticket. This processing for re-holding is performed while post-processing is being performed on the tickets that have been released and released this time. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required for post-processing for the tickets for which the suspension is canceled, and to improve the ticket gate efficiency.

  According to the present invention, all the tickets held by the ticket holding means are released and sent out at the holding position where the route to the exit of the ticket holding means is the shortest. It is possible to shorten the transport distance of the tickets after canceling the hold every time. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required for post-processing for the tickets for which the suspension is canceled, and to improve the ticket gate efficiency.

  Hereinafter, an automatic ticket gate as an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a main part of an automatic ticket gate for a plurality of sheets according to an embodiment of the present invention. The automatic ticket gate 1 according to this embodiment discharges a slot 2 into which a ticket such as a ticket, a limited express ticket, a commuter pass, a coupon ticket, a prepaid card or the like is inserted, and a ticket that is inserted into the slot 2. An exit 3, a delivery section 4 that feeds tickets entered into the entrance 2 one by one into the transport path of the tickets connecting the entrance 2 and the exit 3, and a ticket that the delivery section 4 delivers A reading unit 5 that reads ticket information from a train, a recording unit 6 that records ticket information on the ticket, and an input that opens a punching hole and a printing process such as an insertion date and time. A printing / entry unit 7 that performs processing and the like, an overlapping unit 8 that superimposes a plurality of tickets inserted into the insertion slot 2, and a collection unit 9 that collects the tickets are provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the feeding section 4, the reading section 5, the recording section 6, the printing / filling section 7, and the overlapping section 8 are connected to the main conveyance path that connects the insertion opening 2 and the outlet 3. Are provided in this order. A collection conveyance path for conveying the tickets to the collection unit 9 is formed between the printing / entry unit 7 and the overlapping unit 8. A flapper for switching the transport direction of the tickets is provided at a branch position of the main transport path with the collection transport path. Further, the automatic ticket gate 1 of this embodiment has a sub-transport path having an entrance between the recording unit 6 and the printing / entry unit 7 and an exit between the reading unit 5 and the recording unit 6. ing. A flapper (not shown) is provided at the entrance and exit of the main transport path and the sub transport path for switching the transport direction of the transported tickets. When a plurality of tickets are inserted into the slot 2, a holding unit 10 is provided in the sub-conveying path for holding a part of the inserted tickets.

  The operation of each unit of the automatic ticket gate 1 is controlled by a control unit (not shown). In addition, the control unit performs opening / closing of a door that restricts the passage of a user in a passage formed by the automatic ticket gate 1 and display control in a display unit.

  The reading unit 5 has two magnetic heads (not shown) arranged in opposite directions across the main conveyance path, and the tickets are conveyed in either the front side or the back direction on the main conveyance path. Also, the ticket information can be read. Although not shown in the figure, there is provided a known reversing mechanism that reverses the front and back of the transported tickets by a switchback method, not shown between the reading unit 5 and the recording unit 6. The automatic ticket checker 1 determines the front and back of the ticket based on the magnetic head that has read the ticket information in the reading unit 5, and reverses the ticket that has been inserted face down by the reversing mechanism (front-facing). ).

  The holding unit 10 is configured to hold the tickets one by one at different positions along the transport direction of the sub-transport path. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, four stoppers 11 (11a to 11d) are arranged along the transport direction of the sub transport path. Each stopper 11 is provided with a driving solenoid (not shown). These solenoids can be individually turned on / off. The stopper 11 is configured in an L shape, and when the solenoid is turned off, the stopper 11 is in a released state where the tip of the L shape is located below the sub-transport path (the state of the stoppers 11c and 11d in FIG. 2). .) When the solenoid is on, the L-shaped tip is in a holding state protruding upward from below the sub-transport path. The solenoid is normally off and is on when holding tickets. When the stopper 11 is in a holding state, the boarding tickets are held (not transported) at a position in contact with the protruding tip of the stopper 11. At this time, regardless of whether the transport belt for transporting the tickets is driven or not, the tickets are held by the stopper 11 and are not transported. Further, when the solenoid is turned off and the stopper 11 is released while the transport belt is driven, the tickets are transported by the transport belt.

  In addition, the holding | maintenance part 10 in which the boarding tickets which can be hold | maintained here is four sheets at maximum is shown. In the automatic ticket checker 1 having the holding unit 10, the maximum number of tickets that can be inserted at one time is five (the maximum number of tickets that can be held + 1).

  Next, the operation of the automatic ticket gate 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the automatic ticket gate according to the embodiment of the present invention. The automatic ticket gate 1 waits for the tickets to be inserted into the slot 2 (s1). When the ticket gates are inserted into the insertion slot 2, the automatic ticket gate 1 pays out one ticket with the feeding unit 4 inserted (s 2). The automatic ticket checker 1 of this embodiment increments the counter by 1 every time the tickets entered into the slot 2 are fed out at s2.

  The automatic ticket gate 1 reads the ticket information recorded in the tickets that have been paid out at s2 this time with the reading unit 5 (s3), and determines whether there are any tickets that have not been drawn out at the slot 2 (S4). If the automatic ticket gate 1 determines that there is a ticket that has not been delivered to the slot 2 at s4, whether or not the ticket that has been delivered this time is the fifth ticket, that is, the ticket that has been entered into the slot 2 this time. It is determined whether the number of types exceeds the maximum number that can be inserted at one time (s5). As described above, since the automatic ticket checker 1 counts the number of tickets that have been paid this time by the counter, it is determined whether or not the count value of this counter is 5 in s5. If the automatic ticket checker 1 determines that the number of tickets delivered in s5 is 5, there are tickets that have not been delivered to the entry port 2, and therefore, It is determined that the number of tickets exceeds five, which is the maximum number that can be inserted at one time, error processing is performed in s6, and this processing is terminated. On the other hand, if the automatic ticket gate 1 determines that the number of the tickets that have been delivered this time in s5 is not more than 4 (the maximum number that can be reserved in the holding unit 10), the ticket that has been supplied this time is stored in the holding unit 10. A hold process for holding is performed (s7), and the process returns to s2.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 4, the holding process according to s7 will be described. The stoppers 11a to 11d arranged in the holding unit 10 are normally released. FIG. 4A shows a state where tickets are not held in the holding unit 10. When it is determined in the state shown in FIG. 4A that there is a ticket that has not been delivered to the slot 2 at s4 (in this case, the ticket that has been delivered this time is the first one). The automatic ticket checker 1 controls a flapper disposed between the recording unit 6 and the printing / entry unit 7, and a holding unit 10 is provided for the tickets obtained by reading the ticket information by the reading unit 5. To the sub-transport path. Moreover, the automatic ticket gate 1 shifts the stopper 11 (here, the stopper 11a) having the shortest path to the exit of the holding unit 10 among the stoppers 11a to 11d in the released state in the holding unit 10 to the holding state. (See FIG. 4B). As a result, the tickets sent to the sub-transport path are transported on the sub-transport path, abut the tip of the stopper 11 that has been shifted to the holding state this time, and are held at that position (FIG. 4C )reference). At this time, the transport belt of the tickets on the sub transport path is not stopped because it is driven by the same drive system as the transport belt on the main transport path. Even if the conveyor belt is driven, the tickets are held in contact with the tip of the stopper 11 which has been shifted to the holding state.

  In the state shown in FIG. 4C, if it is determined that there is a ticket that has not been delivered to the insertion slot 2 in s4 (in this case, the ticket that has been delivered this time is the second one). ), The stopper 11b is shifted to the holding state, and the tickets sent to the sub-transport path this time are held by the stopper 11b (see FIG. 4D). Similarly, in the state shown in FIG. 4D, if it is determined that there is a ticket that has not been delivered to the slot 2 in s4 (in this case, the ticket that has been delivered this time is the third one). .), The stopper 11c is shifted to the holding state, and the tickets sent to the sub-transport path this time are held by the stopper 11c (see FIG. 4E), and the state shown in FIG. When it is determined that there is a ticket that has not been delivered to the slot 2 at s4 (in this case, the ticket that has been delivered this time is the fourth ticket), the stopper 11d is shifted to a holding state, and this The stoppers 11d hold the tickets that have been sent to the sub-transport path this time (see FIG. 4F).

  In the state shown in FIG. 4F, if it is determined that there is a ticket that has not been paid out to the slot 2 in s4, in this state, a new ticket is reserved in the storage unit 10. However, it is determined that the number of tickets inserted into the slot 2 at this time exceeds the maximum number that can be inserted at one time because the number of tickets that have been delivered this time is the fifth. Without performing such hold processing, error processing is performed in s6, and this processing is terminated. In other words, when the maximum number of tickets that can be held in the holding unit 10 is held, the holding process according to s7 is not performed.

  If the automatic ticket gate 1 determines that there are no tickets that have not been delivered to the slot 2 at s4, that is, if it is determined that the ticket information has been read from all the tickets that have been inserted into the slot 2 this time, Based on the ticket information read from all the tickets inserted into the slot 2, it is determined whether or not the user can pass (s8). If it is determined in step s8 that the user is not allowed to pass, error processing is performed in step s6, and the process ends.

  In the error processing related to s6, the door provided in the automatic ticket gate 1 is closed to restrict the passage of the user in the passage.

  If it is determined in s4 that there is no ticket that has not been delivered to the slot 2, even if the number of tickets that are reserved in the holding unit 10 is less than the maximum number that can be reserved, it is delivered last. For the tickets, post-processing is started without performing the hold processing for s7 (s9). This post-process is a process that is performed after determining whether or not the passage of s8 is permitted. The process for recording the ticket information in the recording unit 6, the printing process such as the insertion date and time in the printing / entry unit 7, and the punching holes are opened. It is an entry process, etc., and is performed as necessary for each ticket. The post-processed tickets are transported to the stacking unit 8 or the collecting unit 9. The automatic ticket gate 1 conveys the tickets to be returned to the user to the overlapping unit 8 and conveys the collected tickets to the collecting unit 9.

  When the automatic ticket checker 1 starts the post-processing in s9, it determines the presence or absence of tickets held in the holding unit 10 (s10), and if there are held tickets, the exit of the holding unit 10 It is determined whether the stopper 11a with the shortest route is holding the tickets (s11). Here, the determination as to whether or not the stopper 11a holds the tickets is made immediately after the post-processing relating to s9 is started, as will be apparent from the description below.

  If the automatic ticket checker 1 determines that the stopper 11a holds the tickets in s11, the automatic ticket checker 1 waits for a predetermined hold release timing without performing the waiting process for s12 (s13). The hold release timing may be any time as long as the tickets that release the hold after that do not collide with the tickets that have been post-processed first. For example, it may be the timing when the tickets that have started post-processing in s9 reach the superposition unit 8 or the collection unit 9, or the timing when the processing for the tickets in the printing / entry unit 7 is completed. Also good.

  When the automatic ticket checker 1 determines that the hold release timing has been reached in s13, the stopper 11a is shifted from the hold state to the release state (s14). Specifically, when the solenoid that drives the stopper 11a is switched from on to off, the conveyance is performed. The tickets are conveyed by the belt, and the tickets held by the stopper 11a are sent from the holding unit 10 to the main conveyance path. And it returns to s9 and repeats the said process.

  Here, the standby processing in s12 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), a case where four tickets are held in the holding unit will be described as an example. In this state, when the stopper 11a is shifted from the hold state to the released state in s14, and the tickets that have been held by the stopper 11a are sent from the hold unit 10 to the main transport path, the hold unit 10 is shown in FIG. It will be in the state shown in In this case, after starting post-processing for the tickets sent from the holding unit 10 this time, it is determined that there are tickets held in the holding unit 10 in s10, and the stopper 11a selects the tickets in s11. Judge that it is not on hold. Thereby, the automatic ticket gate 1 executes the standby process related to s12.

  In this waiting process, first, the stopper 11a that is in the released state is returned to the holding state, and then the route to the exit of the holding unit 10 is the shortest among the tickets that are held in the holding unit 10 at this time. The stopper 11 (here, the stopper 11b) holding a certain ticket is shifted from the holding state to the released state. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5C, the tickets that have been held by the stopper 11b so far are transported to the holding position by the stopper 11a, and are held again by the stopper 11a. At this time, the stopper 11 (here, the stopper 11b) that has been shifted to the released state is not shifted to the holding state. Further, the standby process related to s12 is a process that is sufficiently completed until the next hold release timing is reached. Specifically, for the tickets that have been post-processed immediately before that, the recording unit 6 records the ticket information, the printing / entry unit 7 prints the date and time, and punches holes. This is a process that is completed while the entry process is being performed.

  Further, in the state shown in FIG. 5C, when the tickets that have been held by the stopper 11a in s14 are sent from the holding unit 10, the standby processing for s12 causes the waiting process shown in FIG. It will be in the state shown in. In this case, the stoppers 11b and 11c are held in the released state. Further, in the state shown in FIG. 5D, when the tickets that have been held by the stopper 11a in s14 are sent out from the holding unit 10, the standby processing for s12 causes the waiting process shown in FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 5E, when the tickets that have been held by the stopper 11a in s14 are sent from the holding unit 10 to the main conveyance path, the state shown in FIG. F), and as a result, it is determined that the tickets are not held in the holding unit 10 in s10.

  If the number of tickets held in the holding unit 10 is three, only the operation of the tickets held by the stopper 11d shown in FIG. 5 does not occur. When the number of tickets held in the section 10 is two, only the operation of the tickets held by the stoppers 11c and 11d shown in FIG. 5 does not occur. In the case where the number of the tickets that are reserved at 1 is one, only the operation related to the tickets that are held by the stoppers 11b, 11c, and 11d shown in FIG. 5 does not occur. Moreover, the stopper 11 which is not holding boarding tickets is a cancellation | release state.

  If it is determined that the tickets are not held in the holding unit 10 in s10, the automatic ticket gate 1 waits for the tickets that have just started post-processing to reach the overlapping unit 8 or the collecting unit 9. (S15), the tickets transported to the overlapping section 8 are discharged to the take-out port 3 in a superimposed state, and the process is completed.

  As described above, the automatic ticket checker 1 according to this embodiment, if there is a ticket that is held in the holding unit 10, while the post-processing is performed on another ticket, Since the standby process for reholding the stopper 11a that has the shortest route to the exit is performed, the transport distance of the tickets after release of the reservation can be minimized for each of the tickets held in the holding unit 10. As a result, it is possible to shorten the time required for post-processing for the tickets that have been released from the hold, and to improve the ticket gate efficiency.

  In the above-described embodiment, only the tickets that have the shortest route to the exit of the storage unit 10 among the tickets that are stored in the storage unit 10 in the standby process according to s12 are stored in the stopper 11a. Although it is said that it is made to hold again, each boarding ticket currently hold | maintained at the holding part 10 may be forwarded in the direction where the path | route to the exit of the holding part 10 becomes short, and you may hold again. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), when the holding unit 10 holds four tickets, one of the tickets (the tickets held in the stopper 11a). ) Is released from the holding unit 10 (see FIG. 6B), the stopper 11a is changed from the released state to the held state, and the stopper 11b is changed from the held state to the released state. The tickets that have been held by 11b are re-held by the stopper 11a (see FIG. 6C). Next, the stopper 11b is shifted from the release state to the hold state, the stopper 11c is changed from the hold state to the release state, and the tickets that have been held by the stopper 11c are held again by the stopper 11b (FIG. 6D). )reference). Finally, the stopper 11c is shifted from the release state to the hold state, the stopper 11d is changed from the hold state to the release state, and the tickets that have been held by the stopper 11d are held again by the stopper 11c (FIG. 6 (E )reference). At this time, the stopper 11d does not shift from the released state to the held state because there are no tickets to be held.

  FIG. 6 shows a case where four tickets are held in the holding unit 10 and one of the tickets (the tickets held in the stopper 11a) is released. However, when the number of tickets that are on hold is three (as shown in FIG. 6E), the processing for the tickets that are held by the stopper 11d is not executed, and is not held. When the number of tickets that are held is two, only the processing for the tickets that are held by the stoppers 11c and 11d is not executed. When the number of tickets that are held is one, s10 Therefore, it is determined that there are no tickets held in the holding unit 10, and this standby process is not performed.

  Even if the waiting process according to s12 is replaced with the process shown in FIG. 6, as in the automatic ticket gate 1 of the above-described embodiment, the transport distance of the tickets after release of the reservation for each of the tickets reserved in the storage unit 10. As a result, the time required for post-processing for the tickets that have been canceled can be shortened, and the ticket gate efficiency can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described by taking as an example the case where the maximum number of tickets that can be held in the holding unit 10 is four, but the maximum number of tickets that can be held in the holding unit 10. The present invention can be applied to any automatic ticket gate having two or more tickets. Further, the configuration for holding the tickets in the holding unit 10 is not limited to the above embodiment, and the invention of the present application is also applied to the holding unit having the configuration shown in Patent Document 1 described in the section of the prior art. Can be applied.
