Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention is directed to a system for passing passengers through automatic ticket gates installed at communication ticket gates, for example, in cases where multiple company lines intersect. It is definitely related to the processing method associated with the judgment.

(2) Prior Art In recent years, in the railway industry, automatic ticket gates that save labor at ticket gates at each station have been widely used. Each of these stations has a joint use permit that is jointly used by multiple companies, but a communication ticket gate is usually installed at the ho-seki entrance/disembarkation area of each company's line. At this connecting ticket gate, there are 9 passengers in possession of a regular ticket or a connecting commuter pass, and 9 passengers in possession of a regular ticket or commuter pass to the connecting gate, and a regular passenger ticket or ticket for the connecting light. Passengers who have purchased a transit light commuter pass or who own a transit pass are now classified as passengers. However, the above-mentioned automatic ticket gate only distributes one ticket to one passenger,
As mentioned above, there are six disadvantages in that tickets cannot be processed for passengers who have two regular tickets, or a commuter pass and a regular ticket.

(3) Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is intended to allow passengers holding two tickets classified into two types to pass through the ticket gate at the connecting ticket gate. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic ticket collection device having a function of preventing people from entering and exiting.

(4) Structure of the invention When the first ticket is inserted into the two tickets, the determination circuit unit determines whether or not it is a ticket from the departure station to the intersection, and transports the ticket. When the conveyance of the ticket is temporarily stopped by driving a stopper provided in the middle of the conveyance path, it also guides the insertion of the second ticket. y, when the second ticket is inserted, the determination circuit section determines whether or not it is a ticket from the intersection to the destination station, and also determines whether it is a combination with the first ticket. As a result of this, when it is determined that the passenger's passage conditions are satisfied, the stopper is released and the first ticket that has been temporarily stopped, that is, the ticket from the departure station to the intersection, is collected. Then, the second ticket, that is, the ticket from the intersection to the destination station, is transported to the exit and returned to the passenger, and the exit door is opened to allow the passenger to pass through.

At that time, transport the first ticket to the entrance. The conveyance of the second ticket is stopped by a stopper, and the exit door is closed to prevent passengers from passing through.

(5) Detailed Description of the Present Invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. 115th! ! In m, I is the main body of an automatic ticket gate, and this main body aη is installed, for example, at station C (hereinafter referred to as joint use letter) where the company line α and the company line β intersect and transfer. shall be. (See Figure 3) On the outer periphery of this main body (11) is a traffic control door Q for controlling the passage of passengers.

For example, a detector (13a) for detecting passenger traffic by optical means is mounted on the upper part of the vehicle, and is used to detect various types of tickets such as commuter passes, regular tickets, etc. There are a ticket acceptance slot (A) where tickets can be accepted, and a ticket return slot (C) where tickets to be returned (for example, commuter passes) are discharged. In the front, between the ticket acceptance slot I and the ticket return slot inside the main body Q0, there are nine four-wheelers a, al-... and belts (1?) for delivering and transporting the tickets.

Therefore, the above-mentioned main control section (to) is the above-mentioned judgment section (to).
The Puntrol signal (C) sent from When the ticket (1) is collected in the ticket collection box 4, a round drive signal 0) is issued to open and close the door <13, 03.

Next, we will discuss the third effect of the present invention based on the above configuration.
This will be explained with reference to the figures. In Figure 3, there is a regular ticket that allows you to ride from a predetermined departure station on Sha Line α to shared use area C (this is classified as ■), and a regular ticket that allows you to ride from a predetermined departure station on Sha Line α to shared use area C. Commuter ticket ψ) that allows you to ride to station B
This is referred to as ``minute@O''), and when 9 passengers try to transfer from Company Line α to Company Line β at the above-mentioned shared use area C,
In the above-mentioned shared use area C, first of all, out of the two tickets (regular ticket (1) and commuter pass ψ) held by the passenger, the regular ticket (1) for company line α is used to board the device. Ticket entrance (
14). Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the ordinary ticket (1) is incorporated into the device and is conveyed from the first conveyance path member to the second conveyance path 0, and is placed on the second conveyance path l. The magnetic information is read by the magnetic reading sedimentation heads (2), (2)-, and the magnetic reading signal (, ) shown in FIG.
Output. This magnetically read multi-signal (,) is amplified by an amplifier 0υ, converted into a digital signal (b), outputted by K conversion, and input to the determination circuit cQK. Then, the determination circuit unit (to) determines that it is a regular ticket (to) for the company line α based on the magnetic information read by the magnetic reading head (2), (to), and sends this determination signal (C ) is input to the main control unit (to).

The main control section (to) is outputted with a stopper drive signal (f) via the conveyance control section (incorporated), so the stopper (2) shown in FIG. 1 is driven to protrude onto the second conveyance path l. Then, the regular ticket (1) being conveyed is temporarily locked.

Furthermore, since the information display (h) shown in Figure 2 is output, the information display (2) shown in Figure 1 lights up "Please insert another one" and the second one blinks, giving the passenger two tickets. The driver is prompted to insert the ticket he/she has on the machine, that is, the commuter pass (P). Therefore, the passenger can insert the commuter pass ``), which allows the passenger to ride from the common use section C to the designated base i of the company line β, into the ticket acceptance slot a4, and proceed in the same manner as above. The magnetic information recorded in b) is read and it is determined whether it is a commuter pass ψ) for company line β. Then, the judgment circuit unit 03 judges the combination of the two tickets (1) and ψ), and when it judges that the result satisfies the passage conditions for the passenger, the ticket collection flapper drive signal - ) is output to release the drive of the stopper (to).
C) is recessed from the cod transport direction in the Fushi 2 conveyance path, and is connected to the switching gate (to) and the motor drive signal (e) is output to the 9 motor @. The regular ticket (1) that is given to you is guided to the gate (c) and collected in the ticket collection box (to). Furthermore, the commuter pass (b) inserted into the two-ticket machine is conveyed to the fourth conveyance path c11) through the gate (e) by the reverse rotation of the motor ■, and the commuter pass (e) is discharged and returned to the passenger, and the above-mentioned ticket collection box K ordinary ticket (1) is collected, so the main control section (to) outputs the door drive signal (1) and starts the door ( 1"lJ, Q3 will be opened, allowing passengers to pass through.

On the other hand, as a result of the combination determination for the above two tickets,
If it is determined that the item should be prevented from passing, that is, it is fraudulent, first the regular ticket (7) is first locked in the stopper (2) and the ticket is removed through the gate (to) by motor Ho drive. Discharge to return port ae.

Then, the second commuter pass is locked by driving the stopper, and the doors aa and as are closed to treat it as abnormal and prevent the passenger from passing through. Then, by pulling out the first regular ticket (A) from the return slot a9, the second commuter ticket C, which is locked in the stopper (to), is removed.
P) is transported to the return gate 0!19 and receives the second ticket.)
.

(To) will be returned to the passenger.

Therefore, the detector (13m)... detects that this passenger took out the two tickets (1), Italy) from the return gate ■, returned to the reception gate A4 side, and exited the device. As a result, the device automatically releases the abnormal state and is placed on standby. Next, by reinserting the correct combination of tickets, the device determines that it is normal and allows the passenger to pass.

In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the case where the regular ticket (A) is inserted first is explained, but the case where the commuter pass (P) is inserted first is also possible, and the point is that the judgment result of the combination is normal. If so, the commuter pass (p) can be returned to the passenger and the regular ticket (7) can be collected. Also, there is a guide display I that prompts you to insert a second ticket!
In (e), the guidance is provided by lighting or flashing, but although the guidance is provided by voice, it is also possible to provide guidance by using both in combination.

(6) Detailed explanation of the present invention According to the present invention, at a connecting station between Sha Line α and Sha Line β, there are two types of boarding tickets: a ticket for Sha Line α and a ticket for Sha Line β. Sha line α side and Sha line β side of the round connecting gate where ticket gate processing can be automatically performed for nine passengers holding tickets at the same time.
It is very economical because it eliminates the need to install automatic ticket gates on each side, and also eliminates the need for passengers to take out two tickets at each automatic ticket gate. This is a significant improvement, and has the advantage of being able to reliably prevent so-called ``cancelled rides,'' in which people ride without tickets between sections where two types of tickets are valid.
