To explain each part, when the recording card is inserted 1, the card reader 2 reads what is magnetically encoded and the amount necessary for voting is magnetically encoded.Furthermore, when cash is inserted 3, it is passed through the coin validation circuit 4. Together with the signal from the card reader 2, the remaining amount is displayed 8 through the transmitting buffer register 5, the transmitting/receiving circuit 6, and the receiving buffer register 7.

Here, when the race, group number, and amount are manipulated by voting operation 9, it passes through the selection circuit 10, the transmission buffer register 5, the transmission/reception circuit 6, the reception buffer register, the reception buffer register 7, and then the encoder circuit and the degaussing circuit 11. Unnecessary contents are demagnetized, remaining money and voting contents 12 are encoded, and cash is stored 13.

Previous voting operation 9, selection circuit 10. After passing through the transmission buffer register 5, the transmission/reception circuit 6, and the reception buffer register 7, the printing and driving circuit 14 discharges the receipt 15. Here, if a voting ticket is required, the ticket will not be released.
Voting tickets are released 16 times.

Through the above operations, interface 2. After passing through the ace 17, the total is stored in the total processing device 18.

In the case of the record card insertion 1 in which the voting details have already been recorded during the operation so far, the race result has been manually inputted,
If there is a correct vote on the record card, the record card with balance,
Or the sum is displayed and recorded in the same way as cash input 3.

At the end, insert the record card with the balance 1 and release the cash 20
When the button is pressed, cash is discharged and paid from the refund cash discharge 21.

The above explanation has been about ticket issuing units, but when a large number of ticket issuing units are used as a system to perform aggregation processing, a signal is sent to the upper central aggregation device 4q for processing.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the voting and refund voting machine (hereinafter referred to as the voting machine). An example of the operation and the total amount of winning payouts are displayed on the balance display 21, and the banknotes or coins are displayed on the balance display 21. When inserted into the insertion slot 21 or the coin insertion slot 23, the amount is added to the previously displayed amount and displayed on the balance display 21.

Next, press the race number button 24 and the group number button,
These are displayed on the race number display 26 and the group number display 27, and then when the voting amount button 28 is pressed, the amount is displayed on the voting amount display 29.

This voting is operated and displayed up to five types, and the total voting amount display 30 is displayed for each type, and the remaining amount display 21 is also subtracted and displayed every time. If you want to vote for 5 or more races, first check the voting details so far and press the voting button 31. The race number display 26, group number display 27, and voting amount display 29 will disappear and the total voting amount will be displayed. The display 30 remains, and when the operation is completed as described above and the end button 32 is pressed, the race number display 26, group number display 27, remaining amount display 21, voting amount display 29, total voting amount display 30, etc. are displayed in total. The ticket disappears, and a ticket with the contents of the votes so far printed is released from the ticket outlet 33, and the ticket remains printed inside the voting machine as well.

If a voting ticket is required without issuing a ticket, the ticket dispensing port 33 becomes the voting ticket dispensing port.

Next, insert the recording card magnetically encoded into the recording card insertion slot 48, the amount will be displayed on the balance display 21, and when you press the cash release button 34, the cash will be transferred to the cash release slot. Released on 35th.

When performing a voting operation or a refund, make sure that the blue lamp of the voting ready lamp 36 is lit.

When the voting machine is likely to run out of 1 ticket or cash for refund, the red lamp of the voting disable lamp 37 flashes, and when the voting machine malfunctions, the red lamp lights up, making it unusable.

If the red lamp flashes or lights up, it will also be visible inside the room so that maintenance personnel can see it immediately.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Voting is not simply done with a voting card magnetically recorded with a value equivalent to cash; instead, the recording card is inserted into a voting machine and the cash necessary for voting is inserted, or cash is placed on the recording card. If a value equal to the amount of cash is magnetically recorded, when a customer or employee votes, the voting details will be magnetically recorded on the recording card, and if there is any remaining amount, an amount equivalent to that cash will be recorded on the recording card. The information is magnetically recorded, and when the end button is pressed at the end of the operation, a journal paper identical to the recorded contents is issued and the recording card is returned. In addition, if you insert the voting record card into a competitive voting machine for both voting and refund purposes (hereinafter referred to as voting machine) and perform the voting operation for another race again, you will receive a vote that was previously cast and was recorded magnetically. If so, the magnetic record is demagnetized, the voting details are magnetically recorded again, and the voting ends as described in the previous section. In the case of voting again as in the previous paragraph, the person who voted first and the one that was magnetically recorded is correct, and the refund amount is recorded magnetically on the recording card if there is no amount on the recording card, and If there is an amount equal to cash on the recording card, the winning amount and the payout amount are added to the remaining amount and magnetically recorded, the magnetically recorded voting contents are all demagnetized, the voting operation is performed again, and the voting is completed as described above. Insert the record card into the refund machine, and if there is money left on the record card and the voting details are not correct, the voting details will be demagnetized and the remaining amount will be displayed on the refund machine at the refund point, and the customer will receive the cash and return to the correct amount. If the card is inserted into the refund machine while the contents are still magnetically recorded, the winning amount will be added to the balance and displayed on the balance display, and the customer will receive the cash. It will be collected. Further, if the amount is displayed on the balance display, when the refund button is pressed, the displayed amount of cash is released, and voting, deposit, and refund are performed only with the voting machine.
