Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a ticket issuing device that automatically issues tickets and the like.

In a conventional ticket issuing device of this kind, the customer service operation section is provided with a plurality of switches for destination selection and lamps corresponding to each switch, and a customer using this device presses the switch corresponding to the desired destination. This caused the lamp corresponding to this switch to light up, allowing the customer to confirm which switch he or she had pressed.

For this reason, it was necessary to provide corresponding lamps for each of the many switches.

This requires wiring for a large number of lamps, and also requires a drive circuit for each lamp, resulting in problems such as increased cost and increased mounting space.

This invention has been made in consideration of the above problem, and its purpose is to provide one common display device for a large number of destination selection switches, and to display the destination selected by the switch on the display device. Set the display device to display 1.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an individualized ticket issuing device.

However, the issued ticket shall be printed with a dot pattern of the destination or the destination and fare.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a storage device that stores a dot pattern of destinations and fares to be printed on the ticket, a plurality of selection switches that select the destination, and a destination that is selected by one of these selection switches. one common display device that displays the dot pattern of the destination read out from the storage device by selecting the destination, and the destination and fare read out from the storage device by the destination selected by the selection switch. and a dot print for printing a dot pattern.

In the above configuration, selection switches are provided corresponding to each destination as in the past, but one display device is provided in common for a plurality of selection switches, and the selection switch corresponding to the desired destination can be pressed. As a result, the dot pattern of the selected destination is read out from the storage device and displayed on the display device, and the dot pattern of the selected destination and its fare is read out from the storage device and printed on the ticket surface by the dot printer.

In the case where the destination and its fare are printed in a dot pattern on the face of the ticket, the dot pattern for each destination and each fare is stored in the storage device, so the dot pattern can be selected using the selection switch using this storage device. By reading out the dot pattern of the selected destination from the storage device and displaying it on the dot pattern display, the display will display the destination each time the destination is selected using the selection switch. Only one indicator would need to be provided for the switch.

Embodiments illustrating the present invention will be described in detail below.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of one example of the ticket issuing device of the present invention, in which 1 is a coin slot, 2 is a display, and 3-1
3-n are destination selection switches, 4 is a go switch, and 5 is a winding number exit.

The above are arranged in the customer service operation section 6.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention, and the same elements as in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a selection switch section having selection switches 3-1 to 3-n, and for convenience in FIG. Indicated.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a control section which receives a selection signal from a switch from the selection switch section 3 and provides a signal to the display 2 and temporary storage section 12 based on this input.

13 is an ink face, 14 is a processor, 15 is a storage device, and the signal from the selection switch 3 is sent to the ink face 13.
, and the processor 14 is connected to the storage device 15.
reads out the memory of the machine and performs other control of the ticket issuing machine.

The storage device 15 stores each destination and the dot pattern of the corresponding fare.

17 is a control section to which a signal from the go switch 4 is input, 18 is a temporary storage section, and 19 is a dot printer.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When one of the selection switches 3 to 1 to 3-n corresponding to a desired destination is operated in the selection switch unit 3, the operated signal is applied to the control unit 11, and a signal with a code corresponding to the destination is applied to the interface 13. It joins the processor 14 via.

Based on this code signal, the processor 14
5, the dot pattern data of the corresponding destination and fare is read out from the temporary storage unit 1 via the interface 13.
2 and 18.

When one of the selection switches 3-1 to 3-n is operated, the control unit 11 generates a timing pulse which is sequentially input to the temporary storage unit 12, the display 2, and the temporary storage unit 12. The data of the dot pattern of the destination is transferred to the display 2 and displayed on the display 2.

The customer who operated the selection switch section 3 looks at the display on the display 2 and confirms that the destination is the selected destination, inserts the required coins into the slot 1 shown in FIG.
Press.

The signal when the go switch 4 is pressed is applied to the control section 17, so that the control section 11 outputs the temporary storage section 18 and the dot printer 19.
A signal is given to the dot printer 1 to transfer the dot pattern data of the destination and fare stored in the temporary storage section 18.
9 and causes the dot printer 19 to dot print this data on the face of the card.

Printing is done using wired or thermal methods.

The printed ticket is discharged to the outside from the discharge port 5 shown in FIG.

A signal indicating that the ticket has been released is applied to the control unit 11 by a device not shown, and the control unit 11 turns off the display on the display 2, and if the selection switches 3-1 to 3-n are not of the automatic return type, Restore this.

As explained above, according to the present invention, each time a destination is selected by the selection switches 3-1 to 3-n, the dot pattern data for that destination is read out from the storage device 15 and displayed on the display 2. , only one display 2 needs to be provided in common for a large number of selection switches 3-1 to 3-n, and the ticket is issued with the destination and fare printed on it by the dot printer 19.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, one display device is used for a plurality of selection switches, making wiring easier and making display contents easier to see.

Furthermore, since the data for printing on the ticket is also used for display, only one storage device is required, and the control circuit is simplified.
