Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical field of the invention The present invention is directed to automatic ticket gates that can be installed at shared ticket gates, for example, in shared stations where a number of company lines intersect. This paper relates to a processing method associated with the pros and cons of the decision.

<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. Some of these stations are shared stations that are jointly used by multiple companies, but there are usually ticket gates for communication between the platforms of the boarding and alighting stations for each company line. At this connecting ticket gate, passengers with regular connecting tickets or commuter passes, who have M regular tickets or commuter passes to the connecting gate, purchase ordinary tickets for transit light. Passengers who hold a commuter pass for a transit destination in Hiroshima are now classified as passengers. However, the above-mentioned automatic ticket gate processes one ticket for one passenger, and as mentioned above, the automatic ticket gate has two regular tickets or a commuter pass and a regular ticket. One drawback is that tickets cannot be processed for passengers.

73) (6) Purpose of the Invention The Inventor: Considering the above-mentioned circumstances, it is considered to be a good ship, and a traveler who carries two tickets classified into two types at the connecting ticket gate.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic ticket gate device having a function of permitting Fc to pass through the ticket gate and preventing #i from passing through the ticket gate.

t4), Durable Structure of the Invention When the first ticket is inserted into the two tickets, the determination circuit determines whether or not it is a ticket from the departure station to the intersection, and the ticket is conveyed. By driving a stopper provided in the middle of the path, the conveyance of the ticket is temporarily stopped and the insertion of the second ticket is guided. Therefore, when the second ticket is inserted, the determination circuit section determines whether the ticket from the intersection to the destination station is i or not. As a result of determining the combination with the tkth ticket, it is determined that the passenger's passage conditions are satisfied, and at 9:00, the stopper is released and the first ticket, which has been temporarily stopped, is moved from the departure station. Collect the tickets at the intersection. Then, the second ticket, ie, the second ticket from the intersection to the destination station, is transported to the ticket service exit and returned to the passenger, and the exit side door is opened to allow the passenger to pass through. The upper part takes out the first ticket and conveys it to the exit. Then, the conveyance is stopped by the second ticket company stopper, and the exit side door is closed to prevent passengers from passing through.

) is provided on the conveying end side of the third conveyance path member, and guides the previous regular ticket (T) to the ticket collection box (goods) at the third conveyance path member, while guiding the commuter pass (P) to the third conveyance path member. 4 conveyance path C! 1) K
There is a C5 ticket return gate (a rotatable game that can be released to I!19).

Furthermore, a guide display (c) is provided at the top of the main body (3) to prompt the passenger to insert a commuter pass (P) following the previously inserted regular ticket (T).

First, a control system circuit block (to) shown in FIG. 2 is installed inside the main body (2). In the figure, the output signal (, ) of the read head reading the information magnetically injected into the regular ticket (T) and the commuter pass (P) is amplified through the amplification-01) tube, and this output signal ( b) is input to the determination circuit section (product). This judgment circuit section (2) judges the validity period, riding section, etc. of the ordinary ticket (T) and commuter pass (P), and the judgment circuit section syntroll signal (c) is activated by the timer ( (to) to the main control box. This main control section @ is configured to issue various control commands based on various data. In other words, the conveyance control unit control signal (d) IIi is guided to the conveyance control unit (foundation) issued from the main control unit (to), and the conveyance control unit e4 receives a detection signal from a ticket detection unit (not shown). When the signal is input, the ticket selection gate (2)

A drive signal (1) is generated to collect the T) into the collection box (goods) and open or close the six doors (lL).

Next, the operation of the present invention based on the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. In Figure 3, a regular ticket (te) (?-re is classified as @) that can be boarded from a predetermined departing station person on the company line α at the joint use station ct and a shared use section C on the company line β When a passenger in possession of a commuter pass (P) (this is classified as @) that allows boarding at a predetermined destination station Bt attempts to transfer from Company Line 111a to Company Line β at the above-mentioned joint use section C, the above-mentioned joint In use section C, the two tickets held by the passenger (regular ticket (〒) and commuter pass (〒) and commuter ticket (
P)) First, insert the ordinary ticket (te) for the company line - into the ticket acceptance slot (14)K of this device. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the ordinary ticket (T) is taken into the device and conveyed from the first conveyance path a pupil to the second conveyance path a wharf, and is placed on the second conveyance path 0. (magnetic reading) head (2
Magnetic information is read by 1 and @, and a magnetic read signal (,) shown in FIG. 2 is output. This magnetic reading or signal (heat)
is amplified by the amplification sa@, converted into a digital signal (b), output, and input to the determination circuit section (2). Then,
The determination circuit section (2) includes magnetic reading heads (2), (2)
According to the magnetic information read by 1, a regular ticket (T) for Shisha Line α
It is determined that this determination signal (c) is
is input.

Since the main control section (to) outputs a stopper drive signal (f) via the conveyance control section, the net tsuba (to) shown in Fig. 1 protrudes above the second conveyance path (I). The ordinary ticket (T) being conveyed is temporarily locked.

Furthermore, the information display light (k) shown in Figure 2 is output.The information display light shown in Figure 1 lights up or flashes "Please insert one more item" and indicates to the passenger that he or she has a second ticket. In other words, the user is prompted to insert the commuter pass (P). Therefore,·
Passengers will be transferred from common use area C! , predetermined destination station Bt of IL-
You can ride at the above ticket reception entrance A4.
) By inserting K, the magnetic information recorded on the commuter pass (P) is read in the same manner as above, and the magnetic information recorded on the commuter pass (P) is read.
It is determined whether or not it is a commuter pass (P). Then,
The judgment circuit unit (to) judges the combination of the above two tickets (T) and (P), and when it judges that the result satisfies the passage conditions for the passenger, the ticket collection 7 ratuppa is activated. signal(
g) is output and the drive of the stopper (to) is released.The rounding stopper (2) is recessed from the conveyance surface of the second conveyance path field a, while a motor drive signal is sent to the motor (2) connected to the switching gate @. When (e) is outputted, the ordinary ticket (T), which is once locked in the stopper (c), is guided to the gate (to) K and collected in the ticket collection box (2). Furthermore, the second commuter pass (P) inserted is 毫-Yu (
Due to the reverse rotation of the 4th conveyance path (
The commuter pass (P) is ejected from the ticket return slot (!!) and returned to the passenger, and the ticket collection box (
Since the regular ticket (T) has been collected by the passenger, the main control unit (to) outputs the door drive signal (1) and activates the door wheel, aa.
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 the item that should be prevented from passing, i.e., is determined to be fraudulent, the ordinary ticket (T), which is temporarily locked in the stopper (T), is gated (C) by the drive of the motor (C).
The ticket is then discharged to the ticket return slot α.

Then, the second commuter pass (P) is locked by driving the stopper (to), 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 (T) from the return slot (1→), the second commuter ticket (C) is held in the stopper (c)
P) is transported to the return gate (15), the two tickets are returned, and the detector (13m) detects that the device exits the device, and the device automatically detects an abnormal condition. Next, by reinserting the correct combination of tickets, the device determines that it is normal, and if necessary to allow the passenger to pass, it will issue two tickets. It is fine if the first ticket is inserted without much time, but if the second ticket is not inserted even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the flow of passengers can be interrupted.For this reason, ,
When the first ticket is inserted and it is determined that a second ticket is required, the timer (to) is activated by a signal derived from the determination circuit (to).

Then, when the second ticket is inserted within a predetermined time, the timer is reset.

If the second ticket is not inserted within a predetermined time, a timeout signal is output, and by detecting this timeout signal, the stopper is released. Tickets are returned at gate a
! ! The vehicle will be transported to and returned to the passenger. Therefore, the passenger should either remove the ticket from the return gate a) and reprint it, or
Alternatively, it becomes possible to go around to the staff passage (not shown), and it is also possible to prevent the flow of passengers from being obstructed.

(P) may be inserted first; in short, if the combination judgment result is normal, the commuter pass (P) can be returned to the passenger, and the regular ticket (T) can be collected. This is how it was done. In addition, although the guide display (to) that prompts the user to insert the second ticket is lit or flashing, it may also be guided by voice, or a combination of both. .

tA) Efficiency As explained above, according to the present invention, at connecting stations between Sha Line α and Sha Line β, two types of tickets are available: one for Sha Line α and one for Sha Line β. To obstruct the flow of passengers holding tickets (At the same time, automatic ticket gates will be installed on the Sha Line α side and Sha Line β side of the connecting gate so that the ticket gate geography will be automatically displayed. It is very economical as there is no need for it, and there is no need for passengers to take out two tickets at each automatic ticket gate.The service can be improved, and moreover, it is possible to improve the service by using a 2m type ticket. This has the excellent effect of reliably preventing ``passive boarding,'' where passengers ride without tickets between valid sections.
