Sectional drawing parallel to the side surface of is shown.

  The ticket supply apparatus 100 includes a bottom-rotating hopper 110 that accommodates a large number of tickets stacked in a stacked manner. The bottom surface 111 of the bottom surface rotating hopper 110 is configured to rotate about a support shaft 111a on one side of the bottom surface connected to the wall surface of the hopper 110 on the side opposite to the side on which tickets are sent. A cam 112 is installed below the bottom surface 111.

  This cam 112 is rotated by a motor 113. When the optical sensor 115 detects that the door 114 has been opened, the motor 113 is activated to rotate the cam 112, push up the bottom surface 111 of the hopper 110, and rotate about the support shaft 111a as a ticket delivery port 116. Occlude.

  A delivery roller 117 for delivering tickets is provided below the bottom rotating hopper 110. A door 114 for inserting tickets is provided on one wall surface of the bottom-rotating hopper 110, and an optical sensor 115 for detecting opening / closing of the door is provided in the vicinity of the door 114. Further, the other wall surface of the bottom-rotating hopper 110 is provided with a ticket delivery outlet 116 for delivering tickets. In addition, a gap block 118 is provided in front of the ticket delivery opening 116, and the gap block 118 prevents the delivery of two or more tickets by making the gap slightly wider than the thickness of one ticket. To do.

  Hereinafter, the operation of loading the ticket in the ticket providing apparatus 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The door 114 of the bottom rotating hopper 110 is opened (S11). When it is detected by the optical sensor 115 that the door 114 has been opened, the motor 113 is activated, and the activation of the motor 113 causes the cam 112 to rotate counterclockwise to raise the cam action portion 112a. At this time, the cam 112 takes the position shown in the sectional view of FIG. As the cam action portion 112a rotates and rises, the bottom surface 111 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 4 about a support shaft 111a provided on one side, and the bottom surface 111 closes the ticket delivery opening 116. (S12).

  In this state, the clerk throws in the tickets so as to abut against the wall of the bottom rotating hopper 110 (S13). At this time, the ticket delivery outlet 116 is blocked by the bottom surface 111, so that the tickets do not enter the ticket delivery outlet 116. When the clerk closes the door 114 after loading the tickets, the optical sensor 115 detects that the door 114 has been closed, the motor 113 is switched on, and the cam 112 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. Go down. At this time, the cam 112 takes the position shown in the sectional view of FIG. As the cam action part 112a is lowered, the bottom surface 111 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 4, and the ticket delivery opening 116 is opened (S14). When a ticket supply instruction is issued with the ticket delivery opening 116 opened, the delivery roller 117 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 5 and only the lowest ticket in the hopper is delivered from the gap block 118. (S15).

  In addition to the optical sensor, the trigger for the motor 113 can be variously modified such as a shape that pushes the micro switch by opening and closing the door. Further, the mechanism for driving the bottom surface to rotate can be driven not only by a motor but also by a solenoid or the like.

  Since the ticket delivery opening 116 is closed in this way, it can be pushed against the wall of the hopper 110 to insert the tickets, so that the edges of the tickets can be aligned and the ticket delivery opening 116 is closed. Since the tickets do not come out from the ticket delivery outlet 116 during insertion, ticket jamming can be prevented.

Next, processing when issuing a commuter pass in the ticket issuing device 1 provided with the ticket supply device configured as described above will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the commuter ticket issuing process in the ticket issuing apparatus 1.
First, the user instructs the issuance of a commuter pass using the touch panel 2a or the like of the ticket issuing device 1, and inserts the purchase amount of the commuter pass into the bill insertion / discharge slot 4 or the coin insertion slot 5 according to the display (S1). ). Then, the main control unit 10 of the ticket issuing apparatus 1 examines the amount of money that the user has inserted into the bill insertion / discharge slot 4 or the coin insertion slot 5 and determines whether or not the designated commuter pass can be issued. Is determined (S2). If it is determined that the designated commuter pass can be issued, the main control unit 10 of the ticket issuing device 1 starts processing of the commuter pass by the ticket issuing device 16 (S3).

  When the main control unit 10 instructs the issuance of a commuter pass, in the ticket issuing device 16, the delivery roller 117 rotates inside the ticket supply device, and the commuter pass original ticket is sent to the transport path 31 (S4).

  The original ticket passes through the conveyance path 31 and is carried to the printing unit 33, and predetermined sheet surface information is printed on the surface of the original ticket (S5). When the ticket surface information is printed on the original ticket by the printing unit 33, magnetic information as commuter pass information is written (S6).

  The information recording unit 35 writes magnetic information as commuter pass information in the storage layer of the original ticket processed by the printing unit 33, and confirms and reads the written information (S7). Here, when the information written on the original ticket cannot be read normally, that is, when the magnetic information cannot be normally written on the original ticket, the original ticket is conveyed to the collection unit (S8b). In this case, the commuter pass issuance process is interrupted or retried (S8c).

  When the information written on the original ticket is normally read, that is, when the magnetic information is normally written on the original ticket, the main control unit 10 conveys the original ticket through the conveyance path 31 and discharges the ticket. Discharge from outlet 6. Thereby, the original ticket is issued as a commuter pass designated by the user (S8a).

  In the above embodiment, the processing for issuing a commuter pass by the ticket issuing machine has been described. However, the processing for issuing a regular ticket and the processing for issuing a settlement ticket are issued in the same flow.

  As described above, by using the ticket supply device, the ticket issuing device prevents the ticket from being jammed due to the deviation of the tickets that occurs when the tickets are loaded.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the ticket supply device 200 that rotates the ticket stopper member 206. FIG. 9 shows the ticket supply device 200 viewed from the lower part of the ticket supply device 200 with the door 203 opened.
