Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a sword stop device installed at the ticket ejection port of a ticket processing device such as an automatic ticket gate collection device, and particularly for stopping a ticket in a state in which the leading end of the ticket protrudes from the ticket ejection port. Regarding a ticket stopping device.

This type of device, as shown in FIG. Lever 5 and
The brake lever is equipped with a brake roller 6 rotatably attached to the ticket outlet 1 side, and a spring 7 that tilts the brake lever 5 and presses the brake roller 6 against the fixed stop plate 4. The brake lever 5 is tiltably attached to a fixed shaft 3 that contacts the portion on the side of the outlet 1 and rotatably supports the rotating conveyance roller 8 together with the endless belt 2.
A spring-type type that applies braking by the elastic force of a spring 7, or as shown in FIG. A solenoid type brake roller 6 is used which applies the brake by pushing the provided brake roller 6 against a fixed stop plate 12.

However, in devices such as automatic ticket gates that handle hard tickets such as commuter passes and soft tickets such as regular tickets that are wet, all ticket stopping devices are equipped with a fixed stop plate 4. ,1
If the pressing force (braking force) of the brake roller 6 on the brake roller 2 is adapted to a soft ticket, the hard ticket will not be stopped and will fly out of the ticket outlet. If this happens, the soft ticket cannot push up the brake roller 5 and enter the ticket outlet 1, and the ticket gets jammed at the entrance of the brake roller and the fixed stop plate, resulting in the problem that the ticket does not reach the normal stop position.

Furthermore, the solenoid-type ticket stopping device has a complicated control circuit because the timing of energization of the solenoid mechanism must be changed depending on the length of the ticket in the transport direction.

The present invention switches the braking force and releases the conveying force applied to the ticket when the ticket reaches a predetermined position. To provide a ticket stopping device which can be stopped in a state where it is projected from a ticket outlet by an appropriate amount depending on the amount of the ticket.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described below.

The endless belt 2゜3 that conveys the ticket toward the exit 1 is wound around drive rollers 21 and 22 that are driven to rotate in synchronization with the time the ticket is conveyed. The ticket outlet 1 is provided at a location away from the ticket outlet 1.

The conveyance roller 8 is rotatably supported by a stop lever 23 that is tiltably attached to a support shaft 24, and a torsion spring 25 provided on the support shaft 24 allows the conveyance roller 8 to close the ticket outlet 1 of the ticket conveyance section of the endless belt 2. It is pressed against the belt on the drive roller 21 on the side.

A stop plate 26 is attached to the stop lever 23,
This stop plate 26 is connected to the ticket outlet 1 by the endless belts 2 and 3.
It is provided so as to face the ticket to be sent out and to extend in the ticket delivery direction.

The brake roller 6 is rotatably attached to the upper end of a brake lever 28 that is tiltably attached to a support shaft 27.
The stop plate 26 is moved from the fixed guide 39 by the tension spring 29.
It protrudes to the side and is constantly pressed against the ticket passing side of the upper end of the stop plate 26.

The elastic force of the tension spring 29 is weaker than the elastic force of the torsion spring 25, so the conveyance roller 8 is elastically pushed toward the endless belt 2.

A solenoid mechanism 30 is provided on the back of the brake lever 28, and a push rod 31 that abuts the brake lever 28 is provided on the operating shaft of the solenoid mechanism 30.

When the solenoid mechanism 30 is energized, the push rod 31 moves to the right in FIGS. 2 and 3 and tilts the brake lever 28 from the state shown in FIG. 2 to the state shown in FIG. 3.

The amount of movement of the push rod 31 is limited by a stopper 40.

Between the ticket outlet 1 and the endless belts 2 and 3, a pair of a light emitting element 32 and a light receiving element 33 for detecting a ticket is provided in a ticket passing section for detecting when a ticket enters between the brake roller 6 and the stop plate 26. When the light beam entering the light receiving element 33 from the light emitting element 32 is blocked by the ticket, the solenoid mechanism 30 is energized for a certain period of time.

Shafts 34, 35 on which drive rollers 21, 22 are attached
, the support shafts 24 and 27, the solenoid mechanism 30, and the fixed guide 39 are attached to the side support plate 36, and the light emitting element 32 and the light receiving element 33 are attached to the support plates 37 and 38 attached to the side support plate 36. installed.

In this device, the ticket being conveyed while being held between the endless belts 2 and 3 first enters between the endless belt 2 and the conveying roller 8, but the conveying roller 8 is pressed against the endless belt 2 by the torsion spring 25. Therefore, it is further conveyed by the endless belt 2 and the conveying roller 8 and enters between the brake roller 6 and the stop plate 26.

At this time, the conveyance roller 8 is pressing the ticket against the endless belt 2, and the elastic force of the tension spring 29 is applied to the torsion spring 2.
Since the elastic force of the tension spring 29 is weaker than the elastic force of the tension spring 29, the elastic force of the tension spring 29 is applied to the ticket as a braking force, so that even a soft ticket can easily penetrate.

When the ticket enters between the brake roller 6 and the stop plate 26, the light incident on the light receiving element 33 is blocked, so the solenoid mechanism 3.0 is energized and the brake lever 28 is tilted, as shown in FIG. The stop lever 23 is tilted against the elastic force of the torsion spring 25.

When the stop lever 23 is pushed up, the conveying roller 8 separates from the endless belt 2, and the strong elastic force of the torsion spring 25 is applied to the ticket as a braking force, thereby reliably stopping the ticket.

At this time, even if the trailing end of the ticket is between the conveyance roller 8 and the endless belt 2, since the two are separated, no conveyance force is applied to the ticket, and therefore there is no risk of the ticket being bent.

Thereafter, when the solenoid mechanism 30 becomes non-energized, the state returns to the state shown in FIG. 2, so that the ticket is held in a state where the weak elastic force of the tension spring 29 is applied.

If the rear end of the ticket is between the endless belt 2 and the conveying roller 8 when the solenoid mechanism 30 is de-energized, the ticket will be moved between the endless belt 2 and the endless belt 2 under the weak elastic force of the tension spring 29. It is conveyed by the conveyance roller 8 until it comes out from between the two.

Therefore, although the amount of protrusion of the ticket from the ticket outlet 1 varies depending on the size of the ticket, the length from the rear end of the roll to the brake roller 6 is approximately constant regardless of the size of the ticket, and in this state, the The tension spring 29 is activated by the brake roller 6 and the stop plate 26.
It is held by the elastic force of .

As described above, in the present invention, when the ticket enters between the stop plate and the brake roller, the weak elastic force of the second spring is applied to the ticket as a braking force, so that even soft tickets can be prevented from bending. enter abruptly.

Furthermore, when the ticket enters between the stop plate and the brake roller, the brake lever is tilted for a certain period of time, and the strong elastic force of the first spring is applied to the ticket as a braking force, and the conveyance roller separates from the conveyance means. There is no risk that soft tickets will bend, and hard tickets will also stop reliably.

Then, when the brake lever returns to its original state, if the rear end of the ticket is between the conveying roller and the conveying means, the weak elastic force of the second spring is applied as a braking force to the ticket. In this state, the ticket is conveyed until the trailing end passes between the conveyance roller and the conveyance means, and therefore the ticket can be stopped in a state where it protrudes from the ticket outlet by an amount corresponding to its size.
