Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a ticket issuing device for a ticket vending machine.

Conventional technology For example, for airplane boarding passes, etc., data is input and written in accordance with the customer's order, and the data is then automatically issued one by one.

Problems that the invention aims to solveHowever, the leaders of groups receive many tickets,
Taking Uke one by one is a very troublesome problem.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ticket issuing device for a ticket vending machine that issues a plurality of tickets at once.

In order to solve the problem, this invention provides a mounting plate 6 that temporarily supports the tickets 5 sent one by one between the data writing section 39 and the ticket issuer 13 in a stacked state. An endless band 2 is provided along the upper surface of this mounting plate 6.
8 is provided rotatably, and a mounting plate 6 is mounted on the outer periphery of this endless band 28.
(10) A protruding piece 30 or 3 for pushing out the rear edge of the ticket 5 toward the ticket issuing port 3] is fixedly provided, and the endless band 2 is
A motor 19 for rotating the motor 8 and a detector 32 for detecting the protrusion 30 or 31 and controlling the motor 19 are provided.

Therefore, the tickets 5 sent one by one from the data writing section 39 are stacked on the mounting plate 6, and when a predetermined number of tickets are stacked, the endless band 28 is rotated and the protrusions 30 or 31 issue the tickets at once. Issue from mouth 3.

Example An embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped stocker, and a feed roller 2 connected to a drive unit (not shown) is provided at one end of the second part of the stocker 1, and a ticket issuing opening 3 is formed at the other end. A receiving plate 4 is fixed to the ticket issuing opening 3. Further, on both sides of the upper part of the stocker 1, there are elongated placement plates 6 on which both sides of the tickets 5 are placed.
is located.

As shown in FIG. 3, these placement plates 6 have a guide surface 7 that guides the side edge of the ticket 2, a stopper 8 that interferes with the extended surface of the bottom surface of the plate 4, and a guide surface 7 that guides the side edge of the ticket 2. Projecting pieces 9 and 1o bent at both ends are integrally formed. A plate 12 is fixed to both sides of the stocker to support both ends of a shaft 11 that rotatably holds the protrusions 9 and 10, and a groove 13 is formed to allow the protrusion 10 to protrude outward. "Tip of mounting plate 6"
The guide plates 14 facing each other on two sides are fixed to both inner surfaces of the switch/socket. The protrusion 10 of the left mounting plate 6 is connected to the plunger 17 of the electromagnet 16 via the link 15, and the protrusion 9 of the right mounting plate 6 is coupled to the plunger 17 of the electromagnet 18 via the link 15. ing.

Next, a step motor 19 and a rotatable shaft 20.21 are provided in the 1st section of the stocker, and a belt 2 is connected to a pulley 23 fixed to the rotating shaft 22 of the step motor 19 and a pulley 24 fixed to the shaft 20. .5 is wound. In addition, a belt 28, which is an endless belt, is wound around pulleys 2G and 27 fixed at the center of the legs 20 and 2.
A projecting piece 3 having a light shielding piece 2≦) projecting to the left on the outer periphery of the
0 and 31 are fixedly provided. A detector 32 whose optical axis is blocked by a light shielding piece 29 is fixed to the inner surface of the stocker 1 on the left side. A detector 33 is also provided on the plate 4 of the receiver. Furthermore, a hangar 36 is formed inside the stocker 1, and a door 35 is opened and closed by a lock 34.

As shown in FIG. 4, a paper feeding device 37 that stacks a large number of tickets 5 and supplies them one by one, an encoder 38, and a printing section 39 that is a data writing section are connected by a conveyance path 40.

In such a configuration, when selling boarding passes, information such as destination, departure time, number of tickets, etc. are asked from the customer, and these data are input. As a result, the tickets 5 are fed one by one from the paper feeder 37, the encoder 38 reads the contents of the magnetic stripe formed on the tickets 5 or writes predetermined data, and the printing section 39 prints the input data. The tickets 5 sent one by one from the printing section 39 are placed one by one on the placement plate 6 of the stocker 1 with their leading edges aligned by the protrusions 31, as shown in FIG. 7(a). Laminated. When the number of tickets is counted and reaches the ordered number, tickets 5 of 51 are issued at once on the placing board (51), but until then, the suitability of the buyer is researched. Research the suitability of the Giyatush card and the balance of the bank account when purchasing from customers.If not,
Electromagnet 16°18 is energized. As a result, the mounting plate 6
rotates about the shaft 11 from the state shown in FIG. 5 to the state shown in FIG.

If yes, the step motor 19 rotates by a predetermined number of steps in response to the ejection signal from the host computer, and after passing through the state shown in FIG. The protruding piece 30 pushes out the edge, and the protruding piece 3o reaches the fixed position P. The detector 33 detects the presence of the ticket 5 on the board 4 and outputs an ON signal. When the customer picks up the ticket 5 from the receiving plate 4-, the detector 33 turns OFF, and in response to this signal, the step motor 19 rotates and the belt 28 rotates as shown in FIG. 7(d). The protrusions 30 and 31 move clockwise, and when the protrusion 31 is detected by the detector 32, the step motor 19 stops. This stopping position is a position where the protruding piece 30 aligns the tip of the next ticket 5 to a fixed position.
This position is the home position of the projecting pieces 30, 31.

If the receiver fails to pick up ticket 5 on board 4, ticket 5 will be transferred to board 4.
However, since it is supported by the stopper 8 of the placement plate 6, it does not fall into the hangar 36. Ticket 5
When the time that Uke is on board 4'2 has passed for a certain period of time,
Electromagnets 16 and 18 are energized according to the software program,
The mounting plate 6 rotates to retract the stopper 8 to the side. Therefore, the ticket 5 on the board 4" will not slide into the hangar 36 and be taken away by a third party. Although some of the tickets 5 in the hangar 36 are valid, a third party cannot take them out without permission. If you want to dispose of it, your predecessor should unlock the lock 34 and open the door 3.
Note that the data writing section is not limited to the printing section 39, and may be a section for writing using a magnetic head. Further, the belt 28 is provided with only one of the protrusions 30, 3], and one protrusion 30 or 31 aligns the leading edge of the ticket 5, and the belt 28 is rotated by a half turn or more in response to an ejection signal. 5. The rear edge may be pushed out.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, the tickets sent one by one from the data writing section are stacked on the mounting plate, and when a predetermined number of tickets are stacked, the endless band is rotated and the tickets are stacked by the protrusion. Tickets can be issued from the ticket issuer 11 all at once, eliminating the hassle of customers receiving multiple tickets one by one, and improving service.
- It has the effect of making it possible.
