Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to, for example, an automatic ticket gate device for automatically taking a ticket issued by a passerby at a railway-related station.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, for example, in the field of railways, for the purpose of labor saving of ticket gates, users are provided at entrances or exits of facilities such as railways, and users (passers) using the facilities are required to use the facilities. When entering or entering, or
When changing facilities, take in the ticket (recording medium) carried by the user and inspect it. If the ticket is valid, permit the user to pass, and if incorrect, prevent the user from passing Automatic ticket gates have been introduced.

[0003] This type of automatic ticket gate system has a magnetic recording unit that is recorded on a magnetic recording unit formed on one side (back side) of a ticket inserted into an entrance by a user when entering, exiting, or changing trains. Information (for example, ticket entrance information such as an entrance station and a valid fare) is read, and based on the read information, permission or blocking of the user's passage is determined, and a predetermined process is performed on the ticket, for example, printing on a ticket surface. After performing processing and magnetic recording processing on the magnetic recording unit,
The ticket is discharged to the exit.

In general, in such an automatic ticket gate system, permission and blocking of traffic are performed by opening and closing a door attached to the main body of the automatic ticket gate system, so that a ticket entered by a user can enter. If you are unable to enter, or if you try to pass with a non-ticket, or if you try to pass without inserting a ticket, close the door and prevent passengers from passing Then, an appropriate ticket is inserted, or an announcement is made to request that the checkout machine and staff take care of the processing.

[0005] For example, pre-school children are allowed to pass without a ticket, and can freely pass through the passage in the automatic ticket gate. For this reason, when an adult user tries to pass and the ticket is not an appropriate ticket or tries to pass without a ticket, the door closes, but at that time a pre-school child was near the door In such a case, the child's head may be hit with the door, so the current automatic ticket gate has a child protection function.

Generally, an automatic ticket gate has a human detection function for detecting the passage of a pedestrian, and detects the pedestrian who passes through the passage, and opens and closes the door by matching the information with the ticket. , Permitting and blocking traffic. The infant protection function, based on the sensor information used for this human detection function, prohibits the opening and closing of the door when a child is standing near the door, and prevents the child from hitting the door unnecessarily. Control.

[0007] However, the human detection function is currently realized by the pattern and sequence of sensors arranged on the automatic ticket gate, but the human detection sensor is also provided on the upper part of the door. I have. In addition, in current automatic ticket gates, there is a frame-shaped one called a pole part, in which a sensor for detecting a person and a lamp for guiding a user are arranged, and a pole part above a door is provided. A sensor for human detection is also arranged.

[0008] When an adult passes through, both the sensor above the door and the sensor above the door are blocked. When a pedestrian whose height is shorter than the pole portion passes, the sensor disposed on the pole portion of the two sensors is not blocked, and only the sensor at the top of the door is blocked. In such a case, the automatic ticket gate determines that the child is near the door and prohibits the door from operating. As a result, the child does not hit the door near the door.

However, only one sensor above the door cannot detect the entire movable range of the door.
If the infant stood so as not to hit the sensor,
It cannot be detected by the sensor at the top of the door, the infant protection function does not operate, and the door may operate, which is extremely dangerous.

Therefore, three sensors are provided above the door,
There has been proposed a device capable of surely protecting an infant by expanding the detection area and detecting the entire movable range of the door.
However, since the detection area for infant protection has expanded, the infant detection sensor is blocked by luggage of passers-by, etc.
Since the protection of the child worked and the driving of the door was stopped intentionally, as shown in FIG. 10, the passerby who put in the genuine bill fell into a situation as if he / she put in an invalid ticket, and the genuine bill was inserted. There was a drawback that passers-by could not pass.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, when trying to properly protect an infant in order to avoid a collision of the door with an infant existing in the movable range of the door, luggage or the like of a pedestrian is required. This eliminates the drawback of incorrectly protecting infants and hindering the passage of correct passers-by, and can avoid collision of doors with infants that are within the movable range of the doors. Can prevent erroneous infant protection by luggage etc.,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic ticket gate device capable of properly protecting infants and preventing the passage of correct passers by luggage or the like.

Next, in the above configuration, FIG.
The operation will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
That is, when the ticket P is inserted from the slot 3, the determination process for the ticket P is performed (ST1). That is, the inserted ticket P is conveyed to the take-out port 4 by the conveyance path 21. During the conveyance, the ticket reading information magnetically recorded on the ticket P is read by the reading head 26 (or 27). The data is read and sent to the CPU 51 via the reading circuit 56.

The CPU 51 determines the validity of the ticket P based on the read information, and as a result of the determination, determines whether the ticket P is a valid ticket or an invalid ticket. As a result of this determination, the ticket P
Is determined to be valid, the CPU 51 controls the writing head 28 (or 29) via the writing circuit 57 to transmit the entry information such as the entry date and time and the entry station to the ticket P. In addition to writing, it is checked whether the door 6 is currently open or closed (ST2).

As a result of this check, when the door 6 is in the open state, the CPU 51 reads the detection signals from the detectors 17a, 17b, 17c through the human detection circuit 62, so that the object moves into the movable range of the door 6. Is checked (ST3, 4, 5).

As a result of this check, the detectors 17a, 17a
If all the detection results of b and 17c are “bright”, the CPU 51
Determines that there is no object and keeps door 6 open,
Allows passers-by.

If any of the detection results of the detectors 17 a, 17 b, and 17 c is “dark” as a result of the check in steps 3 to 5, the CPU 51 determines that an object is present and sets the height within the movable range of the door 6. It is determined that there is a possibility that there is an object that can be regarded as an infant with a low
7) Leave the door 6 open (ST8), and return to step 3. In this case, since there is an object which can be regarded as an infant in the movable range of the door 6, it is prohibited to close the door 6 until the object disappears.

As a result of the check in the above step 2,
When the door 6 is in the closed state, the CPU 51 determines whether the detector 17b
By reading the detection signal from 17c through the human detection circuit 62, it is checked whether an object exists in the detection range of the detectors 17b and 17c (ST9, 10).

As a result of this check, the detectors 17b, 17
If all the detection results of c are "bright", the CPU 51 determines that there is no object, and sends a door opening command to the door control circuit 68 to open the door 6 (ST11) to permit the passage of a pedestrian. ing.

As a result of the checks in steps 9 and 10,
If any of the detection results of the detectors 17b and 17c is “dark”, the CPU 51 determines that an object exists and
It is determined that there is an object that can be regarded as a small height infant in the movable range of (2), the operation shifts to infant protection operation (ST12), the door 6 is kept closed (ST13), and the process returns to step 9. In this case, since there is an object that can be regarded as an infant in the movable range of the door 6, it is prohibited to open the door 6 until the object disappears.

As a result of the check in the above step 1,
If it is determined that the ticket P is an invalid ticket, the CPU 51
Checks whether the door 6 is currently open or closed (S
T14).

As a result of this check, when the door 6 is in the open state, the CPU 51 reads the detection signals from the detectors 17a, 17b, 17c through the human detection circuit 62, so that the object moves into the movable range of the door 6. It is checked whether or not exists (ST15, 16, 17).

As a result of this check, the detectors 17a, 17
If all the detection results of b and 17c are “bright”, the CPU 51
Determines that there is no object, and closes the door 6 by sending a door closing command to the door control circuit 68 (ST18).
It does not permit the passage of passers-by.

If any of the detection results of the detectors 17 a, 17 b, and 17 c is “dark” as a result of the checks in the steps 15 to 17, the CPU 51 determines that an object is present and sets the height within the movable range of the door 6. It is determined that there is a possibility that there is an object that can be regarded as an infant with a low
19) Leave the door 6 open (ST20), and return to step 15. In this case, since there is an object which can be regarded as an infant in the movable range of the door 6, it is prohibited to close the door 6 until the object disappears.

If the result of the check in step 14 indicates that the door 6 is in the closed state, the CPU 51
By reading the detection signals from the sensors 17b and 17c through the human detection circuit 62, it is checked whether an object exists in the detection range of the detectors 17b and 17c (ST21, ST2).
2).

As a result of this check, the detectors 17b, 17
If all the detection results of “c” are “bright”, the CPU 51 determines that there is no object, and keeps the door 6 closed (ST
23), passage of passersby is not permitted.

As a result of the check in the steps 21 and 22, if any of the detection results of the detectors 17b and 17c is "dark", the CPU 51 determines that an object is present, and the height of the person in the movable range of the door 6 is short. It is determined that there is an object that can be regarded as an infant, and the operation shifts to an infant protection operation (ST2).
4) Leave the door 6 closed (ST25), and return to step 21. In this case, since there is an object that can be regarded as an infant in the movable range of the door 6, it is prohibited to open the door 6 until the object disappears.

The ticket P for which the determination process has been completed is discharged to the exit 4 and waits for the ticket P to be extracted from the exit 4. FIG. 8 shows the state of protection of the infant when the door is opened in steps 7 and 19 described above.

FIG. 9 shows the state of protection of the infant when the door is closed in the steps 12 and 24. Thus, the three detectors 17a, 1a, 1b,
7b and 17c are provided, and when the door 6 is open, it is determined whether or not an object (a human head) exists within the movable range of the door 6 based on the outputs of the detectors 17a, 17b and 17c. At this time, the possibility that an object that can be regarded as an infant is present in the movable range of the door 6 is determined, and control is performed so as to prohibit the closing operation of the door 6. When the door 6 is closed, the detectors 17b, 17
When it is determined whether or not the object (human head) exists within the detection range of the detectors 17b and 17c based on the output of c,
By judging the possibility of the presence of an object that can be regarded as an infant in the detection range of the detectors 17b and 17c, and performing control so as to prohibit the opening operation of the door 6, the infant existing in the movable range of the door 6 and the door 6 are controlled. Collision can be avoided, and the infant can be properly protected.

Further, even if the exit detector 17a as an infant detection sensor is blocked by the luggage or the like of a passerby who inserts a genuine bill when the door 6 is closed, the protection of the infant is activated and the door 6 is driven. The door 6 is correctly opened without allowing it to be stopped intentionally (it is possible to prevent erroneous child protection), and the passage of a pedestrian is permitted.
