Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fare collection system for buses and trains.

In the current fare revenue management system, the collection of revenue by route and crew has become indispensable in determining the composition of mining routes and as a resource for fraud prevention forces. As freight costs have become more expensive, the frequency of using banknotes as freight has also increased, but in the past, banknotes were not automatically separated from coins and counted. Previously, a full-time prisoner was assigned to carry out this work.

The present invention solves this problem and contributes to labor saving and fraud prevention measures by providing a fare collection processing method using an on-vehicle fare collection device and a payment device installed at a fare payment office.

FIG. 1 shows a processing flowchart of a conventionally used individual settlement fare collection processing method. When the fare is inserted into the fare input slot in step S1, the driver visually confirms the fare in step Sm, and then the coins and the ticket rlli are inserted in step Ss.
(for example, numbered tickets), the tickets are stored in a storage box, and are sorted into denominations such as 10 yen, 50 yen, 100 yen, etc. in a coin handling step S4.

The coins are sorted and stored in the Nine Coin Company dispensing mechanism, and if the system is full, they are stored in the storage box. On the other hand, step S
- When a coin is inserted into the exchange coin slot, step f
In step 3q, the coins are verified by denomination, and in response to the coin verification signal, the payout mechanism operates in step gm to dispense the exchanged money to the receiving tray. Furthermore, when a banknote is inserted into the banknote exchange slot in step Sm, the banknote is identified in step S-, a corresponding signal is given to the payout mechanism, the money to be exchanged is paid out to the tray, and the banknote is inserted into the banknote exchange slot. The banknotes are stored in a storage box.

In this way, tickets that were traditionally used as fares,
Coins, banknotes, and coins and banknotes II inserted as exchange are stored in the same hangar. At the hangar company Step 8SX, which was removed from the car, it was set in the unlocker of the payment machine section and unlocked, and the contents fell, and the bills, banknotes and coins were thrown into the coin separator in the snow at Step 81. Separated. Separated coins are sorted by denomination in step S■, and then transferred to step 81.
4, and the counted value is input into the register. Banknotes and tickets separated in step gem are transferred to step SRI
The banknotes are sorted manually at step SI, and the banknotes are counted at step SI, and the amount of the banknotes is entered by key operation on the operating section of the register.
Operate the printer etc. with the output operation and know the total of income. The separated bills are cut with a Stella 1S heavy machine.

In this way, since 9.9 requires manpower to sort the banknotes and operate the register, a dedicated checkout person is required, and since the banknotes are sorted from a large amount of banknotes, there is a large layer of powder, which is harmful to people's health. There are many problems, such as not being able to meet the targets, and mistakes in selection cannot be avoided.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of a vehicle-mounted fare input device used in the fare collection system of the present invention.

Fare input slot IKt! Tickets such as numbered tickets and train tickets and coins as fares are inserted. After visually confirming that the fare is a regular fare while being transferred using the belt of the freight company 11M belt mechanism 5, it is separated into bills and coins by the ticket/coin separating machine M6. The coins are stored in the hangar 15, the coins are sorted by coin sorter 7 according to gold stock, and the coins used as exchange funds are stored in the fund cylinder of the dispensing mechanism 8, and the coins are stored in the other coin hangar 1.
It is accommodated in 5. The denomination of a banknote inserted into the slot 2 as a fare banknote is determined by the judge 11 as 500 yen or 1000 yen, and the determination signal is stored in the banknote memory circuit 14, and the banknote is stored in the banknote memory circuit 14. Storage! It is accommodated in i1$13. The coins inserted into the insertion slot 3 as exchange coins are inspected according to their denominations by the coin validation mechanism 9. Based on the validation signal, the dispensing mechanism 8 is operated, and the predetermined exchange coins are transferred to the receiving tray 16.
After dispensing to
will be stored in. The banknote wire sorter IQO identification signal inserted into the input slot 4 as exchange banknotes controls the dispensing mechanism 8 to dispense a predetermined amount of exchange money into the tray 16 and record the amount in the memory circuit 14. , the nine banknotes hangar 1
It is stored in 5.

As described above, nine coins, tickets, and banknotes are stored in the separate storage sections 12 and 13, and the amount of the banknotes is stored in the mail circuit 14.

Note that the bill/coin separator 6 has a space between the belt of the confirmation belt mechanism 5 and the vehicle of the bill/coin separating mechanism 6, so that the coin belt that is carried on the belt and the vehicle can be separated. However, the coins do not fall at these checkpoints and are passed to the above-mentioned cars, where they are sent to the storage unit 12 over 1,000 cars.

In addition to the method described above, as shown in Figure 3, there are two bill insertion slots, one for fares and one for exchange. The sorting may be performed by the sensor 17. As shown in FIG. 4, there is only one banknote input slot 2, and the banknotes may be sorted according to the nature of the banknotes inserted.
