[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, on a toll road, a pass ticket (magnetic medium) passed to a driver at an entrance gate is read by a pass processing device provided at an exit gate, that is, a toll collection device. , Those that collect fees have been put to practical use.

In such a system, a ticket issuing machine is provided at the entrance gate as a pass ticket processing apparatus, and a confirmation machine for confirming the pass ticket is provided at the exit gate as a pass ticket processing apparatus. ing.

Normally, the vehicle type information of the entering vehicle is judged by an attendant at the entrance gate, and the vehicle type information is recorded as magnetic information on the pass by the magnetic recording device (magnetic medium processing device) of the ticket issuing machine. Then, the pass ticket in which the vehicle type information is recorded is given to the driver of the vehicle. At the exit gate, the staff at the exit gate receives the pass ticket from the vehicle driver, the received pass ticket is inserted into the confirmation machine, and magnetic information such as the type of vehicle is read by the magnetic recording device (magnetic medium processing device). At the same time, tolls are calculated according to the distance traveled from the entrance gate, and tolls are collected.

By the way, the magnetic recording apparatus includes a magnetic head,
The magnetic head is composed of a pad roller (supporting roller) which faces the magnetic head with a predetermined gap (smaller than the thickness of the ticket) facing the magnetic head.

[0006] The pass ticket is nipped and conveyed by a conveyance belt and sent between the magnetic head and the pad roller, and information is written or read by the magnetic head. The pad roller is movably supported in a direction to move toward and away from the magnetic head and is driven to rotate with the transportation of the pass, or is fixed in position and rotates with the traveling of the transportation belt. There are things.

[0007]

However, in the former case, when the pass ticket plunges between the magnetic head and the pad roller, the pad roller must be pushed away and rotated, and a large load is applied to the pass ticket. This becomes an impact force and causes fluctuations in the transportation speed of the pass. This fluctuation in the transport speed causes variations in the interval of the magnetic recording data on the pass ticket and instability of the magnetic reading cycle, resulting in a problem that a magnetic processing error occurs.

Further, in the latter case, when the pass ticket plunges between the magnetic head and the pad roller, the pad roller is already rotating, and therefore, no impact is received. However, when the pass ticket rushes in, the rubber portion of the pad roller is crushed and the pass ticket is pressed against the magnetic head, so that the outer peripheral surface of the roller pops out above the upper surface of the lower belt. Therefore, the peripheral speed of the pad roller becomes faster than the belt feed speed, resulting in a speed difference, and this speed difference causes a change in the transport speed of the medium, resulting in a magnetic processing error. .

Therefore, the present invention provides a magnetic medium processing device which does not cause a velocity fluctuation in the magnetic medium when the magnetic medium enters or passes through the gap between the magnetic head and the supporting roller. The purpose is to do.

Similarly, pulleys 34, 36, 38, 40 are provided on the rear side of the transport drum 20, and further auxiliary belts 42 are provided. Similarly, the auxiliary belt 42 is in close contact with the main transport belt 24 on the transport path on the transport drum 20 and the transport path for the passing ticket 2 discharged from the transport drum 20. Therefore, the pass ticket passed from the ed scroll mechanism 26 is conveyed toward the discharge port 6 by the main conveyance belt 20 and the auxiliary conveyance belt 42.

When the ticket processing apparatus shown in FIG. 2 is used as a ticket issuing machine, a large number of unused tickets 2 are put in the hopper 14 in advance. When a ticket is issued, the passing ticket take-out mechanism 44 takes out the passing ticket 2 sheet by sheet, takes it out to the conveying path between the main conveying belt 20 and the auxiliary conveying belt 42, and conveys it. That is, when the ticket is issued, the passing ticket 2 is directed to the outlet 6 in response to the input from the keyboard without passing through the insertion slot 4 and the scroll mechanism 26.

It is composed of a platen 64 for pressing the ribbon against the pass ticket 2. When an unused ticket 2 is supplied to the printing mechanism 56, information about the entrance gate, such as “Tokyo”, is printed on the printing unit 2B of the ticket 2. For the confirmed ticket 2, “Receipt” or the like is printed on the printing unit 2B. If there is still an error in the information read by the confirmation head 54 due to a read error, a write error, or the like, the pass ticket 2 passes through the printing mechanism 56 as it is as an unconfirmed pass ticket. The sorting mechanism 58 includes a flapper 66 which takes either one of the first and second positions. The flapper 66 has its leading end located on the stacker 16 at the first position and prevents entry into the pass 2 stacker 66. Is arranged so as to guide the pass ticket 2 to the discharge port 6, and the tip thereof is raised at the second position to prevent the pass ticket 2 from entering the discharge port 6 and guide the pass ticket 2 to the stacker 16. It is arranged. Therefore, when the ticket is issued, the flapper 66 is switched to the first position, and the unused printed ticket is directed to the discharge port 6 as it is. Further, at the time of confirmation, the flapper 66 is switched to the second position, and the confirmed pass ticket is guided to the stacker 16. Even at the time of confirmation, the flapper 66 may be switched to the first position. That is, when an unconfirmed pass ticket in which the information read by the confirmation head 54 still has an error is generated, the flapper 66 is used.
Is switched to the first position and is directed toward the discharge port 6 as it is. The confirmed pass tickets are stocked in the stacker 16, and the other pass tickets 2 are discharged to the discharge port 6.
A sensor 68 is provided at the outlet 6, and it is detected that the pass 2 has reached the outlet 6. After this detection, when the pass ticket 2 is taken out from the discharge port 6, the pass ticket 2 can be issued for the first time and the pass ticket 2 can be inserted into the insertion port 4.

1 and 5 show a magnetic medium processing apparatus according to the present invention. That is, an idle pad roller 101 is provided as a support roller with a predetermined gap (smaller than the thickness of the pass) on the lower side of the magnetic reading head 48 as a magnetic head. The idle pad roller 101 is rotatably attached to one end of a rotation lever 102 having an L shape, and the rotation lever 102 is rotatably supported by a support shaft 103. The other end of the rotating lever 102 is biased by a spring 104 as a biasing member so as to rotate counterclockwise. The amount of rotation of the rotation lever 102 due to this bias is determined by the rotation lever 102.
Is regulated by contacting the stopper 105, and a gap of a predetermined width (smaller than the thickness of the pass 2) is formed between the magnetic reading head 48 and the idle pad roller 101.

A driving roller 108 is connected to the idle pad roller 101 via an idle bearing 107 as a driving means. The drive roller 108 is in contact with the inner surface portion of the main transport belt 24,
It rotates in the direction of the arrow (clockwise) as the vehicle travels. The rotation of the drive roller 108 causes the idle pad roller 1 to pass through the idle bearing 107.
01 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (the direction in which the pass 2 is advanced).

FIGS. 6 and 7 show a state in which the traveling ticket 2 is thrust into the gap between the magnetic reading head 48 and the idle pad roller 101 and passes by the traveling of the main conveyor belt 24 and the auxiliary conveyor belt 28. Is.

Since the pass ticket 2 is thicker than the gap, when it enters the gap (at this time, the idle roller 101 is rotated), the idle pad roller 101 is pushed down in the direction of the arrow. As a result, the idle pad roller 101 is separated from the idle bearing 107, and the driving force from the idle bearing 107 is not transmitted.

Therefore, after entering the gap, the pass 2 is conveyed only by the traveling of the main conveyor belt 24 and the auxiliary conveyor belt 28 without receiving the rotational force of the idle pad roller 101.

As described above, when the pass 2 is thrust into the gap between the magnetic reading head 48 and the idle pad roller 101, the idle pad roller 101
Is rotated, it is not necessary for the pass 2 to rotate the idle pad roller 101.

Therefore, it is possible to reduce the impact force at the time of the entry of the pass ticket 2, and to reduce the fluctuation of the transport speed of the pass ticket 2. Further, after the pass 2 has entered the gap between the magnetic reading head 48 and the idle pad roller 101,
The idle pad roller 101 no longer receives the driving force from the driving roller 108, and is rotated following the passage of the pass 2.

Therefore, the idle pad roller 101
Does not affect the transport speed of the pass ticket 2, and fluctuations in the transport speed of the pass ticket 2 can be reduced. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce fluctuations in the transport speed when the pass 2 enters the gap and during the passage of the gap, the magnetic recording data interval is constant, and the magnetic reading is performed. The cycle is constant.

Therefore, the magnetic processing performance is stabilized,
There is an advantage that magnetic processing errors can be reduced. The pass ticket processing apparatus described above includes a control circuit as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 70 that controls the whole is connected to the ROM 72 in which an input signal from the keyboard 8 is input, the control program is stored, and the RAM 74 in which a charge table and the like are stored. Also, this CP
A driver 76 for driving the scroll mechanism 26 and a driver 7 for driving the magnetic head 52 for writing are provided in U70.
8. Demodulation circuits 80 and 82 for demodulating read data from the read magnetic heads 48 and 54, and print head 62
Is connected to a driver 84 for driving the take-out mechanism 44, a driver 86 for driving the take-out mechanism 44, a driver 88 for driving the main motor 21, a selector mechanism 90 for selecting the position of the flapper 66, and a switching circuit 92 for generating a switching signal. Furthermore,
A sensor signal generator 9 that outputs the outputs from the sensors 46, 50, 60, 68 to the CPU 70 as sensor signals.
4 and the display 10 are connected to the CPU 70.

In the above-mentioned control circuit, at the time of issuing a ticket, C is issued in response to a ticket issuing signal input from the keyboard 8.
The PU 70 gives a drive command to the drivers 86 and 88.
Therefore, the take-out mechanism 44 operates and the motor 21 operates, and the carrying mechanism starts carrying. As a result, the unused pass ticket 2 is taken out from the transport hopper 14, and the transport of the unused pass ticket is started. This pass 2
Is detected by the sensor 50, and a sensor signal is generated from the sensor signal generator 94 to the CPU 70 based on this detection. Therefore, the CPU 70 gives a read command for writing and checking to the drivers 78 and 88. As a result, information such as vehicle type information is written on the unused pass ticket 2 conveyed to the writing head, and the information written by the reading head 54 is read. The read information is converted into digital information by the demodulation circuit 82, processed by the CPU 70, and displayed on the display 10. When the conveyed ticket 2 is detected by the sensor 60 of the printing mechanism 56, a detection signal thereof is generated from the sensor signal generator 94. In response to this signal, the CPU 70 causes the driver 8
4 is given a print command, and print information such as information on the entrance gate is extracted from the RAM 74 and given to the driver 84 as print information. As a result, the print head 62 of the printing mechanism 56 is operated to print the information of the entrance gate and the like on the pass. When issuing a ticket, the CPU 70 gives a command to the switching circuit 92 to position the flapper 66 at the first position in response to the ticket issuing signal. Therefore, the selector mechanism 90 is operated by the switching signal from the switching circuit 92, and the flapper 66 is positioned at the first position. As a result, the printed unused passport 2 that has been conveyed is ejected to the ejection port 6. When a toll ticket is placed at the outlet 6,
A sensor signal is generated from the signal generator 94 in response to the detection signal from the sensor 68. Therefore, the CPU 70
The display 10 indicates that the unused passport 2 has been discharged to the discharge port 6. According to this display, when the pass 2 is taken out from the outlet 6, a sensor signal is again generated from the signal generator 94, and in response to this signal, a command to enable the operation of the take-out mechanism 44 is issued from the CPU 70. . In this state, when the ticket issuing signal is input again from the keyboard 8, the ticket issuing operation is executed in the same manner as described above.

At the time of confirmation, when the pass 2 to be confirmed is inserted from the insertion slot 4, the sensor 46 detects the insertion. In response to this detection, a sensor signal is generated from the signal generator 94, and the CPU 70 causes the drivers 88 and 76 to operate.
A drive signal generation command is given to. In response to this command, the transport mechanism is operated to transport the pass 2 and the reading head 48
The vehicle type information and the like are read from the pass ticket 2. The read information is converted into digital information by the demodulation circuit 80, processed by the CPU 70, and displayed on the display 10. After the passing ticket 2 passes through the reading head 48, the driver 76 operates in response to a command from the CPU 70 to operate the e-scroll mechanism 26, and the passing ticket 2 is not conveyed and is retained as it is. When the display of the display 10 is confirmed by an attendant while the pass 2 is kept as it is and it is determined that the display matches the type of the actual vehicle, the determination is made by using the keyboard 8. Entered through. In response to this input or when a certain time has elapsed from the display, the CPU 70 operates the driver 76 to release the operation of the scroll mechanism 26. as a result,
The pass 2 is transported to the printing mechanism 56. The pass 2 is conveyed to the sensor 60 of the printing mechanism 56.
When detected by the sensor signal generator 9
4 generated. In response to this signal, the CPU 70
Is to give a print command to the driver 84, and print information such as "receipt completed" is extracted from the RAM 74 and given to the driver 84 as print information. As a result, the print head 62 of the printing mechanism 56 is operated to print information such as "receipt completed" on the pass.

When the display of the display 10 does not match the actual type of vehicle while the pass 2 is stopped, the determination is input via the keyboard 8.
In response to this input, or after a certain time has elapsed from the display,
The CPU 70 operates the driver 76 to release the operation of the scroll mechanism 26. As a result, the pass 2 is conveyed and detected by the sensor 50, and a sensor signal is generated from the sensor signal generator 94 to the CPU 70 based on this detection. Therefore, the CPU 70 gives the drivers 78 and 88 a writing command for correcting information and a reading command for checking the information. As a result, the corrected vehicle type information is written on the pass ticket 2 conveyed to the writing head 52, and the correction information written by the reading head 54 is read. The read information is converted into digital information by the demodulation circuit 82, processed by the CPU 70, and displayed on the display 10. If the corrected display is still incorrect, the CPU 70 is input by the keyboard 8.
Gives a command to the switching circuit 92 to position the flapper 66 in the first position. Therefore, the selector mechanism 90 operates by the switching signal from the switching circuit 92, and the flapper 6
6 is located in the first position. As a result, the pass 2 is conveyed through the printing mechanism 56, guided by the flapper 66 at the first position, and discharged to the discharge port 6. If the corrected display is correct, the transported ticket 2
Is detected by the sensor 60 of the printing mechanism 56 as described above, and the "receipt" printing is executed.

At the time of confirmation, the CP is sent in response to the confirmation signal.
U70 gives a command to the switching circuit 92 to position the flapper 66 in the second position. Therefore, the selector mechanism 90 is operated by the switching signal from the switching circuit 92, and the flapper 66 is positioned at the second position. As a result, the pass ticket 2 printed with "Received" is the flapper 6 in the second position.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the magnetic medium is thrust into the gap between the magnetic head and the support roller, the support roller is in a rotating state. It is not necessary to rotate the magnetic medium, and the transport resistance of the magnetic medium can be reduced.

When the magnetic medium passes through the gap, forcibly driving the supporting roller is stopped and the supporting roller is driven to rotate as the magnetic medium is conveyed. Therefore, a difference in the conveying speed between the conveying belt and the supporting roller occurs. Instead, the magnetic medium can be transported at a constant speed only by the transport belt. Therefore, the magnetic medium does not change in speed when the magnetic medium enters and passes through the gap between the magnetic head and the support roller, the magnetic recording data interval is constant, and the magnetic reading cycle is constant. Therefore, the magnetic processing performance is stabilized, and the magnetic processing error can be reduced.
