Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the loading/unloading of an IC card without using a complicated mechanism by providing the titled device with a slider to be moved by inserting the IC card, a contact holding plate interlocking with the slider, a cam, and a hook plate. CONSTITUTION:At the time of an IC card 2 is inserted from an IC card insertion port 1a of a body panel 1, the slider 4 is moved, the contact holding plate is rotated around a supporting shaft 8 and the tip part 6a of the holding plate 6 is locked by the lock part 9a of the cam 9. Interlocking with the rotation of the holding plate 6, the hook plate 12 is rotated around a supporting shaft 13 and the hook part 12a of the hook plate 12 locks the other end of the card 2. In accordance with the rotation of the holding plate 6, a contact 14 fixed on the holding plate 6 is conductively contacted with an electrode of the card 2. At the time of a discharge button is depressed to discharge the card 2, the tip part 6a of the holding part 6 is unlocked, the other end of the card 2 held by the hook part 12a is released, and the slider 4 is moved, so that the card 2 is discharged and the contact 14 is separated from the electrode of the card 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a read/write device for reading information stored in an IC card or writing information to an IC card.

(Prior Art) A conventional example is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. This figure is a partial sectional view showing the inserted state of the IC card.

First, the operation order will be explained. Insert the IC card 41 into the insertion slot 42a of the main body case 42, and then press the slider 43.
Push in the slider 43 on the guide section 43a. This action causes the card 41 to hit the guide portion 43a of the slider 43, and the slider 43 moves. card 41
When the slider 43 is pushed to the end, the slider 43 also moves to the end, and the convex protrusion 43b provided at the end of the slider 43 is sensed by the photosensors 44a and 44b disposed on the main body case 42, and this signal causes the slider 43 to move to the end. The solenoid 45 operates and the guide portion 46 of the slider 46
The hook portion 47a of the lever 47 held at the lever 47 rotates around the support shaft 48, and the slider 46 held by the spring 49a moves.

When the slider 46 moves, the fixing pin 51 provided on the lever 50 rotates around the shaft 52 and rotates the cam 53 disposed at the other end of the lever 50 around the support shaft 54 . Hold the other end to lock.

When the slider 43 is pushed in, the contact holder 55 mounted on the slider 43 comes into contact with the electrodes of the IC card 41 by means of a cam portion 42b provided on the main body case 42.

To take out the IC card, press the button 56 located outside the main body case 42, and the lever 57 fixed to the button 56 will move the lever 57 located outside the main body case 42.
Sensed by the sensors 58a and 58b, the solenoid 45 operates according to the signal, the cam 53 rotates, the slider 43 and the IC card 41 move toward the insertion slot, and the I
The C card 41 is ejected.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the above configuration, a card lock by a solenoid,
It is a card ejecting mechanism, and a signal detection device to be applied to the solenoid is also required.

The disadvantages are that the device consumes a large amount of power, has a complicated structure, and is difficult to provide an economical device.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional technology and utilize the insertion force of an IC card without requiring a complicated mechanism.

To provide an inexpensive device for locking a card and ejecting the card.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The ICC cartridge dry mill device of the present invention includes a slider that moves when an IC card is inserted, a contact holding plate interlocked with the slider, and a contact holding plate that locks and releases the slider. It is equipped with a cam and a hook plate that interlocks with the slider and locks the IC card.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

1 and 2 are partial sectional views of the IC card read/write device of the present invention, showing the locked state after the IC card is inserted into the read/write device.

FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of the IC card read/write device, showing the state before the IC card is inserted.

1 to 3, when the IC card 2 is inserted from the IC card insertion slot 1a of the main body panel 1, the tip of the IC card 2 hits the four parts 4a of the slider 4 guided by the main body 3, and the IC card 2 is further inserted. When inserted, the slider 4 moves, and the cam plate 5 formed on the slider 4 hits the cam part 7 formed on the contact holding plate 6, causing the contact holding plate 6 to move.
rotates around the support shaft 8, the cam 9 rotates around the support shaft 10, and the tip 6a of the contact holding plate 6 is locked and held by the lock portion 9a of the cam 9. Also, in conjunction with the rotational movement of the contact holding plate 6, the hook plate 12 is connected to the support shaft 1 via the connecting shaft 11.
3, and the hook portion 12a formed on the hook plate 12 locks and holds the other end of the inserted IC card 2. Further, as the contact holding plate 6 rotates, the contacts 14 fixed to the contact holding plate 6 move up and down, and the IC card 2
conductive contact with an electrode formed on the surface. To eject the IC card 2, press the eject button 15.
The lever 16 presses the cam 9, and the tip 6 of the contact holding plate 6
At the same time as the hook part 12a of the hook plate 12 is released,
The other end of the EC car 1 and 2 held by the slider 4 is released, and the slider 4 is moved by the return force of the return spring 17 attached to the slider 4, and the IC card 2 is ejected at the same time. The contact 14 is removed from the electrode.

18 is a spring for returning the cam, 19 is a spring for returning the ejection button, 20.21 is a support shaft for the return spring 17, and 22
is a flexible pattern film for contact drawers.

2:3 is a spring for returning the contact holding plate.

(Effect of the invention) According to the present invention, by the insertion force of the IC card.

The IC card can be easily positioned, locked, and electrically connected to the electrodes of the IC card, and the ejection button makes it easy to eject the IC card, and the configuration for this purpose is extremely simple.

The production and practical effects are great.
