This automatic ticket gate device takes in and inspects the ticket carried by the user when entering or exiting the facility or when changing trains at the facility, and the result of this inspection indicates that the ticket is appropriate. For example, it allows the passage of users, and blocks the passage of users if inappropriate.

This automatic ticket gate device reads magnetic information (for example, an entrance station and a valid fare) recorded on one side (back side) of a ticket inserted by a user at the time of entrance, exit or transfer. The head reads the information, and based on this read information, it is decided whether to allow or block the passage of the user. If the passage is possible, the information necessary for the ticket is written by the write head, and the verify head is placed next. Checking the information written in.

The pressing force of the rotary solenoid 82 is set to about 1000 gf. This reversing mechanism 67 allows the printing unit for printing on the ticket 2 to be arranged on only one side, which has the advantage of reducing the number of parts and the number of adjustment steps.

The ticket processing operation of this automatic ticket gate will be described below.

In this automatic ticket gate apparatus, when the ticket 2 is inserted through the slot 3, first, the size in the width direction is detected by the detectors 6 and 7, and the detection result is sent to the CPU 42 through the ticket detection circuit 54. It is captured. The ticket 2 as it is is conveyed at a speed of about 1000 mm / sec by the conveyor belts 101 and 102 as the first conveying means regardless of the front and back sides of the ticket 2 which is oriented in various directions within this conveying area. The orientation is aligned in the longitudinal direction.

The ticket 2 which is transported by the transport belts 101 and 102 and aligned in the longitudinal direction is fed to the transport belts 103 and 104 which are the second transport means,
In this transfer area, the speed is accelerated to about 2000 mm / sec and the transfer is performed at this constant speed.

Then, first, the transport path 5 in this transport area.
The magnetic information recorded on one surface (rear surface) of one of the read heads 10 and 11 provided one above the other is read, and this magnetic information is read by the read circuit 5.
It is taken into the CPU 42 through 0.

At this time, the CPU 42 reads the information on the surface direction of the inserted ticket 2 (the information indicating which side is up) depending on whether the head that has read the magnetic information is the reading head 10 or the reading head 11. obtain. The CPU 42 makes a determination, such as passing the ticket 2 as it is or performing magnetic processing, based on the captured information.

As a result of the determination, for example, when magnetic processing is performed, one of the write heads 12 and 13 provided one behind the read head 11 in the transport area and the back side of which is abutted is written. The head (write head 12 or write head 13) writes the magnetic information on the back surface of the ticket 2, and the write result is one of the verify heads 14 and 15 provided behind the write information. It is confirmed whether or not reading and writing are properly performed by the verify head 14 or the verify head 15).

Then, as a result of confirmation by the verifying heads 14 and 15, of the tickets 2 which are OK to be written, the value amount is reduced and the standard punching / printing is performed each time the fare is paid in advance and has a monetary value. In other words, the SF card and the like are assigned to the distribution unit 22 behind the conveyor belts 103 and 104.
Are distributed to the SF processing unit 24 side. The other tickets 2 are passed through the sorting unit 22 as they are, subjected to scissors punching, and then returned to the exit 4 or collected in the bill collecting box 40.

On the other hand, the tickets 2 distributed to the SF processing section 24 are aligned in one direction by the reversing mechanism section 67 in accordance with the front and back sides thereof, and are directed to the standard punch 68 side in the next step by the belt 78. Be transported. A reference hole is opened according to the frequency of use of the boarding ticket 2 here, and other than that is passed through as it is. When the ticket 2 passes through the standard punch 68, the ticket 2 is conveyed to the printing unit 69 and is pressed between the thermal head 89 and the platen roller 87 to contact the thermal head 89 (the back surface of the ticket 2). Is sent while being sandwiched between each other, and, for example, the date and time of boarding, the name of the boarding station, and the balance to be deducted are printed at predetermined positions on the surface contacting the thermal head 89 (recording section on the back side). After that, the ticket 2 is carried out from the SF processing unit 24 and finally discharged from the take-out port 4.

By the way, in the automatic ticket gate, the information taken in from one of the reading heads 10 and 11 may become undecipherable. There are two cases in which the decryption is impossible, that is, the ticket 2 is bad and the magnetic head is bad.

In this case, the CPU 42 causes the verify heads 14, 1 located at the rear as a reading error of the reading head.
The magnetic information of the ticket 2 is read again by the corresponding one of the five heads.

If a reading error occurs, it is determined that the ticket 2 is not the main body of the apparatus (defective NG), and the ticket 2 is conveyed as it is toward the outlet 4, and is discharged from the outlet 4. It blocks users and displays errors.

On the other hand, when the magnetic information read by either one of the verify heads 14 and 15 can be decoded, that is, when the determination is OK, the CPU 42 reverses the motor 55 and performs a retry process.

When the motor 55 rotates in the reverse direction, the ticket 2 moves backward on the conveying path 5 by the conveying belts 103 and 104,
Since the verify heads 14 and 15 have already read the information, the verify heads 14 and 15 are returned to between the write head 12 and the read head 11, that is, before the write head 12.

When the ticket 2 comes to this position, C
The PU 42 reverses the motor 55 and conveys it in the same direction as usual, so that the write head 12 or the write head 13 executes the magnetic information writing process. Then, the verify process is executed by one of the verify heads 14 and 15 behind the verify head.

In this way, when the verify heads 14 and 15 read OK and retry operation is performed, the CPU 4
2 sets this series of processing as the number of retry operations, once, and R
Record in AM46.

After that, every time a retry operation is performed, the CPU
The RAM 42 counts the number of times in the RAM 46 and
The number of times counted is read from and it is determined whether or not the count value has reached a prescribed number or more. The reference value for this determination may be, for example, a certain ratio or more with respect to the number of passed sheets.

When the number of retry operations exceeds the specified number, the plasma display or the like provided in the apparatus is used to notify (notify) the defect of the encoding section. This notification may be made by turning on a lamp or making a sound from a speaker.

As described above, according to the automatic ticket gate of the present embodiment, in the case of a reading error of the reading heads 10 and 11, the magnetic information of the ticket 2 to be read by the reading heads 10 and 11 is re-verified to the verifying heads 14 and 15. If the reading is OK, and if the reading is OK here, the retry operation is the conveyance belt 10
Since it is executed within the transport areas 1 and 102, the acceptance rate of the ticket 2 can be improved.

At the time of the retry operation, since the verify heads 14 and 15 have already read the information, the ticket 2 is placed in front of the read heads 10 and 11, that is, the conveyor belt 10.
It is not necessary to return to the positions 1 and 102, and the write head 1
Since the boarding ticket 2 may be returned between the reading heads 10 and 11 and the reading heads 10 and 11, that is, within the carrying area of the carrying belts 103 and 104, it is possible to prevent a trouble such as a jam of the boarding ticket 2 from occurring.

Furthermore, if the reading heads 10 and 11 and the verifying heads 14 and 15 read the magnetic information of the ticket 2 continuously, and if both are judged to be NG, the ticket 2
Since it is discharged as a defect itself, unnecessary retry operation (reverse rotation switching of the motor 55, etc.) is not required, and the processing time can be shortened.

Further, when the read heads 10 and 11 fail, the verify heads 14 and 15 serve as substitutes therefor, so that the apparatus is rarely stopped for repairing the failure, and the operating rate of the apparatus is improved. You can

Further, information can be written to the boarding ticket 2 which could not be read by the reading heads 10 and 11 by the retry operation.

Whenever a retry operation is performed, the CPU 42
Counts the number of times and records it in the RAM 46, and when it exceeds the specified value, it is notified by a display or the like, so that the maintenance person can see it and check the read head failure before the read heads 10 and 11 completely fail. In addition, you can take measures.

As a result, it is possible to reduce problems such as useless retry operations and ticket jams that occur when reading information from the ticket 2, that is, when accepting the ticket 2, and improve the acceptance rate of the ticket 2. You can

[0061]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the invention, the information processing means performs the information processing operation of the recording medium, and when an abnormality occurs, the transportation control means causes the second transportation. Since the recording medium is not returned up to the first conveying means, the trouble such as a paper jam occurring at that time can be eliminated since the retry operation is performed in the conveying area.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the number of times the retry operation is performed by the second conveying means is recorded in the retry number recording means, and when the number of recording times exceeds the predetermined number, the information is notified. If the reading means is defective, measures can be taken before it completely fails.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the information to be read by the information reading means cannot be read from the recording medium, the information confirmation / reading means instead of the information reading means reads the information from the recording medium.
