Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention mainly relates to a ticket user who checks a ticket at a ticket gate by a transportation facility, cuts off a part of the ticket, and checks the ticket.

[Conventional technology] Conventionally, transportation facilities sell tickets to users, set up ticket gates to check the tickets, and then use ticket gate scissors to cut off a portion of the ticket to check the tickets. This ticket gate scissor has a structure in which the upper mold is pushed into the lower mold to cut the ticket, and the ticket is manually cut out by inserting the ticket between the upper and lower molds.

[Problem to be solved by invention] However, the number of ticket users in the committee is very large.
- Holding each piece in your hand and cutting it out with scissors is very labor intensive and requires harsh conditions, such as having to do it continuously for long periods of time.

On the other hand, the use of these ticket gate scissors requires a certain kind of knack and skill to process with quick movements, and there are many problems such as disparity in work depending on skill, limits on processing capacity during morning and evening rush hours, and scattering of chips. .

The problem lies in the fact that the ticket inspection process is done using manual scissors.

The present invention solves this problem by providing electric ticket gate scissors that can be used to check the ticket gate as soon as the ticket is inserted, in place of the manual scissors that are problematic in the conventional ticket gate operation described above.
Therefore, the aim is to improve efficiency by eliminating skills disparities in ticket inspection operations and manual fatigue.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. The first illustration shows a cutter device 5 in which a crank is attached to a drive motor 1.
This figure shows an example of a case where a transmission mechanism for transmitting power to 0, an electronic control device 52, and a holding device 51 are attached.

A crank 2 attached to a rotating shaft 6 of a drive motor 1 is connected to a lever 3 via a pin 5, and the lever 3 is connected to a support shaft 7.
is attached to the fulcrum, and the cutter device 50 is connected via the connecting tool 4.
It is connected to the.

The cutter assembly M50 consists of a blade stand 11, two stoppers 12 formed on a part of the blade stand, and a cutter blade 10 attached between the stoppers.
is attached to.

The hold-down device 51 consists of a lever 13 and an electromagnet 17, the lever is attached to the support shaft 7, a magnetic plate 14 is attached to the left end in the drawing, a return spring 16 is attached to the lower part thereof, and a hold-down device is attached to the right end. It has a structure in which a rubber 15 is attached and the ticket is fixed for a certain period of time by the adsorption action of an electromagnet 17.

(Note that the lever 13 is a plate (as shown in the second diagram)) The electronic control device 52 consists of a sensor 19 and an electronic circuit 20, which are connected by an electric circuit (the circuit includes microswitches, relays, diodes, capacitors, It is an integrated circuit formed with resistors, timer ICs, etc., but the wiring diagram is not included because it is not specified.)

The second illustration is a plan view showing an example of the case where the drive motor, crank, lever, cutter device, and holding device described above are assembled (electromagnets, sensors, electronic circuits, etc. are omitted).

The levers 13 (plate bodies) of the hold-down device are attached in parallel to support the same side of the lever 3 of the power transmission device, and are attached to the same support shaft 7 so as to share a fulcrum with each other and prevent operational errors.

The third illustration is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a part of the cutter device,
The cutter blade 10 is attached between two stoppers 12 (stops that determine the insertion depth of the ticket) formed at the center of the blade stand 11, and is connected to the lever connector 4. Further, presser rubbers 15 are attached to press and fix the ticket from both sides of the cutter blade.

The fourth illustration is an enlarged plan view of the cutter device, and the fifth and sixth illustrations are cross-sectional views thereof.

The cutter device 50 is equipped with an exchange function that allows cutter blades of different blade types to be attached and to select the blade type for each station to be used.

There is a tapered insertion protrusion 22 at the rear of the blade base 11 (left end in the figure), and semicircular stop recesses 23 on both sides near the center of the front part.
It has a one-touch structure that allows it to be installed by inserting and pressing it, and curved mounting holes 24 are formed on both sides of the center so that the sensor tentacles can always be set in the specified position even if the entire cutter device is replaced. There is.

The cutter blade 10 and the blade stand 11 are accurately attached to the support shaft 8 with a predetermined gap maintained so that they do not come into contact with each other, and are supported by a return spring 21. (Fig. 4, 5
(shown in Figures and 6) [Operation] When a ticket is inserted into the mechanical device of the ticket gate device configured as described above, the sensor detects the ticket, activates the electronic circuit, excites the electromagnet, and attracts the magnetic plate. Then, the ticket is held down and held for a certain period of time by lever action. Next, the electronic circuit is
The drive motor is energized to rotate the rotary shaft to link the crank and lever, and the cutter blade is pushed down to cut the ticket.

Next, when the drive motor and the electromagnet are turned off in that order and the excitation is released, the return spring returns all the devices to their original positions.

The series of operations described above are automatically controlled and performed instantaneously, but the required time is usually in the range of 0.1 seconds to 0.05 seconds, but the best time depends on the usage conditions. All you have to do is select the state and set the timer on the electronic circuit.

The above operation will be explained below based on the drawings.

Lever 3 is a lever attached with the support shaft 7 as the fulcrum, and if the fulcrum is 7, the distance ratio of 7-5.7-4 in relation to the pin 5 and the connector 4 (only numbers are shown below). By increasing the size, the input of 5 can be amplified and output (transmitted) to 4. In other words, the amplitude 36 of 4 is the ratio of the distance of 7-5.7-4 compared to the amplitude 35 of 5. Although the force decreases inversely, the pressing force applied to the cutter blade increases accordingly. Therefore, the advantage of setting the drive motor torque to a small value and transmitting a large pressing force to the cutter blade and solving the problem of miniaturization and weight reduction. can.

The connecting tool 4 has the role of setting the starting position of the cutter blade 10 and the role of setting the contact point with the lever 3 in the best condition.

The lever 13 is a lever with the support shaft 7 as a fulcrum, similar to the lever 3, and has the role of holding and fixing the ticket by the attraction action of the electromagnet 17.

However, the embodiment of the lever 13 and the electromagnet 17 is not necessarily limited to the one shown in the first drawing, and this device may be omitted if the automatic ticket vending machine is used exclusively for tickets.

The stop rubber 18 is a shock-absorbing rubber for absorbing shocks when the drive motor starts and returns, and is attached at a position where the tip of the crank 2 makes contact.

Furthermore, the present invention uses a rotary solenoid for the drive motor in order to reduce the generation of vibrations and impact noises during use, and the shape of the cutter blade is processed diagonally to avoid curving the blade shape so that the ticket can be cut at once. By using a method of cutting by sliding the contact point of the blade instead of a cutting method, the structure is designed to reduce the impact when cutting the ticket and reduce the load on the drive motor.

For the above reasons, the mechanical device of the ticket gate device according to the present invention has the following features:
By using the rotational movement of a rotary solenoid and the action of a crank and lever to transmit the torque of the drive motor to the cutter device, we have achieved mechanically stable, quiet, smooth start-up and quick operation, and we have achieved low-voltage power supply. Since it is possible to obtain a practical torque, it is also possible to use dry batteries, etc., and the structure is electrically safe and highly durable.

[Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, another embodiment of the electric cutter device will be described based on the drawings.

7 and 8 show an example in which a cutter blade is directly attached to a lever and connected to a drive motor. This cutter device has a crank 63 attached to a rotating shaft 62 of a drive motor 61, and a pin 65. It has a simple structure in which the cutter blade 67 is connected to the lever 64 through the lever 64.
It is fixed in a state in which a part thereof is inserted into the support shaft 66 of.

Therefore, there is an advantage that the ratio of the distances from the fulcrum (support shaft) 66 of the lever 64 to the pin 65 and the cutter blade 67 can be set large, and the movement of the blade can be made smaller and more stable. (
Arrow 71) This structure is not only simple to install, but also has the feature that the entire device can be made extremely compact, and is robust and yet capable of transmitting strong torque to the cutter blade.

In addition, the cutter blade 67 can be easily replaced by fixing it with a nut 68, and the blade attachment part is fixed with a stopper hole 70, which prevents it from coming off or shifting even when operated frequently. ing. (Figures 9 and 10
(Illustrated) Since it is not possible to specify how many types of blade shapes are required, the description will be omitted, and next, two basic types of blade shapes will be explained.

The shape of the blade shown in Figure 9 is a rectangular shape for cutting the ticket 100 from the inside to the outside, and is suitable for relatively thin tickets such as automatic ticket vending machines and coupon tickets. There is no need to shape it, as long as you just set the width of the blade optimally, there is no problem even if the shape is different from the shape of the tip of the blade.
Multiple blade types can be used together.

The shape of the blade shown in FIG. 10 is rectangular when cutting the ticket 100 from the outside to the inside, and is suitable for the case of a thick single leaf ticket, and the contact point of the blade is formed to be long and warm. However, the difference between the two is not so great that it is necessary to distinguish between thin paper and thick paper and use them exclusively, and it is sufficient to select them for each station where they are used.

The electric cutter device shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is an embodiment in which a ticket is cut by rotating a cutter blade, and the cutter blade is directly attached to the rotating shaft.

In the eleventh diagram, a rotating shaft 82 of a drive motor 81 and the other rotating shaft 83 are connected by a crank 84.85 pin 86.

The cutter blade 87 is connected to the rotating shaft 8 by a circular blade base 88.
3 and has a structure that rotates in the same direction as the drive motor.If a rotary solenoid is used for the drive motor, it has the advantage of being able to set a small rotation angle.

The cutter blade is formed to protrude perpendicularly to the rotating surface slightly inside the outer periphery of the blade holder, and the blade holder also processes the rotating surface to be flat to serve as a stopper that determines the insertion depth of the ticket, and to protect the entire blade holder. It is designed to be replaced.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 12 is an example in which a small motor is used for driving. A reducer 92 and an electromagnetic clutch/brake 93 are directly connected to a small motor 91, and a blade stand 96 and a cutter blade 95 are attached to the tip of a rotating shaft 94. The actual structure is a rotation control device that has an electromagnetic clutch and brake attached to a geared motor that incorporates a reduction gear into a small motor.

In other words, this device uses a gear to slow down the rotation of a small motor and a clutch to control the rotation of the cutter blade, which repeatedly rotates and stops one rotation at a time in the force direction to cut out the ticket. . Therefore, if the power switch is turned on, the small motor will always rotate, and the cutter blade will rotate only when a ticket is inserted.

This device has many advantages when using a solenoid, the main ones being that the impact when the cutter rotates is very small, and in addition, there is no return movement in the case of a solenoid, so there is less vibration. Another feature is that the rotational speed of the cutter blade can be optimally adjusted, and by reducing the rotational speed of the drive motor using a gear, high output torque can be obtained.

FIG. 13 is an example of an embodiment of the electric ticket gate scissors according to the present invention, and is a perspective view showing the external shape of the device and attached accessories.

As shown in the diagram, the electric ticket gate scissors 200 has a power connection device 2 on the left side.
01, a power switch 202 is installed, and on the right side, a manual button 204, a button lock 205, and an indicator light (LED) 203 are installed at the top, and a chip storage case 208 and its storage part are formed at the bottom. There is.

Further, in the center on the right side, there is formed a trapezoidal insertion guide part 209 protruding from the lower part to the front, and a ticket insertion slot 210 along the surface of the trapezoidal insertion guide part 209.

A cover 206 that can be opened and closed upward on three front sides is attached to the upper part of the ticket slot.
It is fixed by 7.

The cover has an opening/closing structure so that operations such as replacing the cutter device and adjusting the cutter blade can be easily performed.

Note that the manual button 204 is normally used in the locked state, and when non-electric operation is required, such as when the electric device is malfunctioning or when the operator is using it in a place where there is no power connection, the cutter blade can be directly pushed in with the thumb to cut out the ticket. It is for.

From the above explanation, the electric ticket gate scissors of this example are small enough to fit in your hand when held in one hand and lightly squeezed naturally, and have a shape that allows ticket gate operations to be carried out in an extremely natural state, and are easy to use. It is a hand-held electric ticket gate scissor.

Next, the embodiment shown in FIG. 14 will be described. This embodiment shows another example to which the drive device and cutter device of the electric ticket gate scissors of the present invention described above are applied. It is a stationary type electric ticket gate shears that is larger in size, power, and capacity than ticket gate shears, and is used by placing it on a table.

This stationary electric ticket gate scissor 300 has a semicircular cutter protrusion 307 with a plurality of ticket slots 305 formed in the center of the upper panel, and a power switch 301, a manual button 302, and a plurality of LEDs 303 on the periphery of the panel.
A box-shaped chip storage case 3 is installed at the bottom of the side of the equipment.
04 is attached so that it can be pulled out left and right.

(The power supply connection equipment is omitted and not shown) 15th
The illustration is a partial cross-sectional view showing the semicircular cutter protrusion of the stationary electric ticket gate scissors, the shape of the cutter blade, and the movable state of the blade.

As shown in the diagram, this cutter blade has a fan-shaped blade base (
Multiple moon shapes are directly formed on the outer periphery of the blade (blade body), and the entire blade rotates in the same direction at the same time (arrow 330), so that no matter which slot the ticket is inserted into, a part of it will be cut off. and is attached to the rotating shaft 311 of the drive motor.

Further, a return spring 321 and a stop rubber 322 are attached to the blade base to reduce the impact when the blade base is driven and returned.

FIG. 16 is a partially sectional view showing an example of the drive motor and cutter device of the stationary electric ticket gate scissors.

A swing arm 312 is attached to the rotation shaft 311 of the drive motor 310.
The bearing part 315 of the blade stand and the blade stand are mounted with an intermediate ring 317 in between, and the swinging arm and the blade stand 314 are connected by a pin 313.

Only the swinging arm is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the bearing of the blade stand is attached to the rotating shaft without being fixed, forming a crank that transmits power to the cutter blade via the pin. The cutter blades rotate in the same direction at the same time and repeat the movement of returning at the same time, or the cutter blade is structured so that it is not rotated by a rotating shaft but by a pin and crank.

Furthermore, the crank is connected by a plurality of pins so that the torque of the drive motor can be transmitted evenly to the entire blade base.

The connection hole 319 between the pin and the blade base is formed into an oval shape, and has an idle portion so that vibrations, shocks, etc. of the cutter blade do not affect the drive motor and rotation shaft through the pin.

(FIG. 15) The intermediate ring 317 keeps the distance between the cranks constant,
The purpose of the bearing 316 is to prevent contact, and the bearing 316 serves to support the rotating shaft of the drive motor and to stabilize the mounting position of the cutter blade.

In the figure, 323 indicates the mounting position of the sensor.
Electronic circuits, etc. are omitted and not described.

The above example has been described based on the drawings, but when implementing it, high-precision bearings are used for the cutter blade bearing and the rotary shaft bearing, and ultra-high precision bearings are used for the crank part including the cutter blade. We use materials that are resistant to wear such as hard metals and ceramics, and use stepping mechanisms such as servo motors and pulse motors for drive devices, as well as other integrated devices that combine solenoid and cutter devices. It is natural to construct a cutter device that can withstand the above-mentioned conditions and has excellent precision.

The stationary type electric ticket gate scissors described above has the characteristics of being stable when placed on a table and having multiple outlets, and allows ticket gates to be checked using both hands. No matter which direction you insert it, it has the adaptability of allowing you to leave it at the ticket gate, and because you can work without having to hold it in your hands, there is plenty of room for parts related to weight, size, shape, vibration, etc., as well as various devices, functions, power, etc. It has the advantage of being able to be designed with

In addition, as a result of concentrating the operation functions on the top panel, it is easy to use while standing or sitting, and the signal lamp (L
By making it possible to confirm the operation by blinking E and D) and to use the manual button at the same time, the cutter device can be moved freely regardless of the sensor, making it easy to repeat operations with the ticket inserted. Therefore, even if you insert a cardboard ticket or several stacked tickets, you can easily cut it out.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, this invention enables the ticket gate operation, which conventionally requires cutting off each ticket with manual scissors, to be done instantly by simply inserting the ticket. As a result, the efficiency of ticket inspection work at each station can be improved, and congestion can be alleviated, especially during the morning and evening rush hours in subcommittees, and at stations with a large number of passengers, and ticket inspection work can be performed quickly, reliably, and with less fatigue.

In addition, this electric ticket gate scissor is equipped with an automatic control device that cuts in conjunction with a sensor and cutter device, and a chip storage case that prevents chips from scattering, making it easy for anyone to use. It also has the effect of reducing skill disparities and cleaning work caused by scattering of chips.

Furthermore, if you use the stationary electric ticket gate scissors described in Fig. 14 of the embodiment, you will be able to use both hands freely to check the ticket gate.
Alternatively, passengers can pass through the ticket gate by inserting it themselves with only visual confirmation, creating a quiet and clean ticket gate scene with no metallic noise or scattering of chips.
