Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a toll ticket issuing device that issues toll tickets at the entrance gate of a toll road and settles the toll at the exit gate.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional issuance of passes using this type of issuing device requires that vehicle type information, date of issue, time and minute, etc. be recorded on the passes, so a worker must issue the passes each time a vehicle enters the entrance gate. They operated the equipment appropriately to issue passes.

However, with this method, workers may issue passes regardless of the vehicle's entry, and if they do, they must take steps to ensure that the extra passes are not used fraudulently. This caused various problems.

In order to solve this problem, some devices install a vehicle type discrimination device in front of the booth and link this with a ticket issuing machine, making it possible to issue a ticket only when the vehicle type signal from the vehicle type discrimination device is received. However, in this case, the vehicle type signal is output when the rear end of the long vehicle passes the vehicle type identification device, so the driver's seat in front
If you go in front of the booth, you will not be able to receive a ticket, so the vehicle type identification device is located at booth 10 as shown in Figure 3.
It is installed at a distance of more than m.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, with the conventional system described above, on the contrary, the distance between the vehicle type identification device and the booth is more than 10 meters, so
If it is a passenger car, if it is crowded, 3,
Approximately 4 vehicles will enter during this period, and the ticket issuing ready signal is set when the rear end of the vehicle passes in front of the vehicle identification device as shown in Figure 5, and the ticket is issued. Since the ticket issue enable signal was generated by a gate circuit that was reset by If you operate the ticket issue button after the next vehicle has entered, a situation will occur where the number of tickets issued will be insufficient.
There were problems such as the task of issuing passes became extremely complicated for the workers, and the work burden on the workers increased significantly.

[Means to solve the problem] 〓〓〓〓
The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and includes a vehicle detection device and a ticket issuing machine installed in front of the vehicle detection device in the direction of vehicle travel. A timer that is connected to a vehicle detection device and outputs a signal that causes a buzzer to emit a ticket issue command sound for about 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds based on the vehicle detection signal of the device, and a timer that counts and records the number of tickets issued based on the vehicle detection signal and presses the ticket issue button. The device is equipped with an up-down counter that decrements the recorded number of issued tickets based on the issued ticket issuing command signal.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, the entry of a vehicle can be reliably notified to the operator by the ticket issuing command sound from the buzzer, and the number of issued tickets can be accurately memorized by the up/down counter.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 4 is an island, and 5, 6, and 7 are vehicle detection devices that issue a vehicle type signal every time a vehicle passes by. This is the same vehicle detection device 5, 6, 7.
The user enters the control device 3 located in the booth 1 located further forward in the direction of vehicle travel. When the control device 3 receives this signal, the timer 31 operates and outputs an ON signal for approximately 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds. This signal is OR gate 32
and is output to the pass ticket issuing machine 2. 21 is an amplifier, 22 is a buzzer, and 24 is a ticket issuing drive unit. That is, when the vehicle type signal is output from the vehicle detection devices 5, 6, and 7, the buzzer 22 in the ticket issuing machine 2 sounds for a period of about 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds.

On the other hand, the vehicle type signal causes the up-down counter 33 to go up. If the output of the up-down counter 33 is not zero, the signal from the car type button 23 can pass through the AND gate 34. This AND gate output signal issues a ticket issuing command to the ticket issuing control section 35 and causes the up/down counter 33 to decrease. Tickets can be issued many times until the counter output of the up-down counter 33 becomes zero.

On the other hand, the buzzer 22 can notify the worker with a sound that tickets can be issued each time the vehicle passes the vehicle detection devices 5, 6, and 7, regardless of the ticket issuance timing.

In this way, the issuance of passes can be carried out smoothly and reliably, and the burden on workers can be reduced, which can produce excellent effects.

It should be noted that the buzzer 22 in the above embodiment is capable of not only notifying the driver of vehicle entry but also of an abnormal state of the ticket issuing machine 2.

An or gate 37 receives abnormality occurrence signals from a paper jam detection section 25 and a storage box remaining amount detection section 26 provided in the pass ticket issuing machine 2, and activates a timer 36 at the same time as the occurrence of the abnormality signal. can. Further, the input to the OR gate 37 can be increased if it is desired to activate the buzzer due to other abnormalities.

When a vehicle enters further and the vehicle type button can be pressed, T ₁
By changing the length of the buzzer activation time ( _T2 hours in case of an abnormality), the worker can easily recognize and execute the next operation, reducing the burden on the worker.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, since it has a timer that is connected to the vehicle detection device and causes the buzzer to emit a ticketing command sound for about 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds, the entry of a vehicle can be detected by the ticketing command sound, and the worker can Tickets can be issued smoothly and reliably just by performing the ticket issuing operation, and since it has an up-down counter that accurately remembers the number of issued tickets, there will never be a situation where there is a shortage of issued tickets, as mentioned above. This can produce excellent effects such as being able to prevent the occurrence of various troubles that occur in the past.
