Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an accident due to a defective card in an automatic cash transaction machine, etc., from occurring, by providing a rearward ejecting mechanism to fetch and preserve a defective IC card without returning it to a customer. CONSTITUTION:When a contact 13 where an IC card 1 is arranged on a fetching contact block 14 is brought into contact with the contact of the IC card 1, and the IC card arrives at a prescribed position, a sensor plate 21 provided on the contact block 14 operates a second detector 22, and a motor stops its rotation. Reading is performed between a computer provided separately and the IC card 1, and two motors are rotated in a reverse direction by a reading completion signal when the IC card is a normal card, and the IC card is ejected to an insertion opening. When the card is a defective card, the two motors are rotated in the reverse direction to the position where the contact 13 comes off the IC card, and after that, they stop transiently, and a sliding piece 19 is raised by a solenoid, etc., and abutting with the IC care 1 is released, and afterwards, the two motors are rotated in a forward direction, then, the IC card is ejected rearward.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a reading device for reading an IC card.
-7.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIG. 4 shows an example of the configuration of a conventional industrial C card reading device. Figure 4 shows the IC card inserted state, Figure 4 (a)
is a plan view, and Figure 4 (c) is a front view.

When the XC card 41 is inserted, the detector 42 is activated and the motor 43 is rotated. A drive roller 45 rotates via a speed reducer 44 connected to a motor 43, and the IC card 41 is sandwiched and taken in by a presser roller 46. IC card 41
The tip hits the contact block 47 and rotates, and the contacts 48 installed on the contact block 47 come into contact with the IC card 41.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention According to the prior art, there is no backward discharge function for taking in and storing defective IC cards without returning them to the customer.
■In the rotary contact block 47, the contact pressure of the contacts 48 which tries to push back the IC card 41 is large;
In order to take in the IC card 41, a large driving force is required. ■ 3. One method of installing a presser roller 46 to take in the IC card 41 requires space in the vertical direction and is small! There was a problem in that it was difficult to convert the wood to cedar.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides
The IC card is detected by the detection means, and the IC card is detected by the detection means.

Insert the IC card according to the reading completion signal of the card LJ
automatic feeding means for the IC force to output υ1 to the side (
Move diagonally so as to approach the C card and insert the card [
A contact block with a biasing force applied in one direction (-QI), and a sliding member that is applied with a stepped downward force to the hook of the contact block 1 and moves in a downward direction of 1 and abuts a part of the IC card. a moving piece, a release means operated by a defective card detection signal-bow and releasing the contact between the IC card and the sliding piece, and the IC card;
The card is equipped with an ejecting means for ejecting the card backward.

Operation When an IC card is inserted according to the above configuration, the tip of the IC card pushes up the sensor reno (-) provided at the insertion point and activates the first detector, causing the two motors to rotate in the forward direction.
IC force・− that takes C force・− to jIV, )i at 74°
The card is moved diagonally to approach the IC force - card, and a downward force f=1 is applied to the contact block where the card insertion L1 direction is 4=f-'j. The tip of the IC force contacts the sliding piece that moves, causing the contact block to move. The contact is placed in the unlock position and the shear contact is located in the I
When the C card contacts the contact point of the C force card and reaches the predetermined position, the sensor plate installed in the contact block activates the second detector, which stops the motor from rotating twice. 3. Reading is performed between the separately provided τI recorder and the IC card 7
If it is L, ■ wealth power, - mode, the two digits are reversed by the reading end signal, and the IC card is inserted and U1 is output to "L". If there is a faulty force, hold the two motors in a position where the contacts are out of the IC force and hold the sliding piece with a lanceoid, etc. after reversing the motor. IC
Release the contact with the card. After that, the two motors are rotated forward and the IC card is ejected backward.

Examples Below, examples of the present invention are shown in Figures 1 (a) and (b) 5.
This will be explained with reference to FIG. 7 c-1), FIGS. 2 and 3.

Figure 1 shows the re card inserted state, Figure 1 (a) i
A cross-sectional view of the back of the IC card insertion section shows the A card 1.
As a result, the sensor lever 2 is raised to the upper position h - the first detector 3
The optical path of the sensor is blocked and a detection signal is emitted. The sensor lever 2 is returned to its original position by the spring 4. 111th AI ('L+
) is a plan view showing a first motor chassis 5, a second motor chassis 6, a motor 7, and a drive port/ra 9 via a reducer 8.
44 were taken.

The first motor chassis 5 has one end rotatably connected to a support shaft 10 and the other end connected to a main body 12 via a spring 11, and has a structure that acts to push the drive roller 9 onto the IC card 1. It has become.

A device having the same structure for rear extraction is arranged symmetrically about the support shaft 10. A contact block 14 having a leaf spring-like contact 13 moves on a first sliding shaft 15 and a second sliding shaft 16 that are installed obliquely so as to approach the T and C cards 1. A bending spring 17 is installed on the sliding shaft and acts as a mechanism to abut a part of the contact block 14 and pull the contact block 14 back toward the insertion direction. Further, a part of the contact block 14 has a sliding piece 19 that can move up and down and is biased downward by a spring 18, and is in contact with the tip of the IC card 1. Motion J119 has Bin 20
is attached. One or two sensor plates 21 are provided in a part of the contact block 14, and when the IC card 1 reaches a predetermined position, the optical path of the second detector 22 is blocked and an IC card insertion completion signal is issued. In addition, in order to release the contact between the sliding piece 19 and the work C card 1 in the case of a defective card, a support plate 25 to which a first lever 23 and a second lever -24 are fixed to the main body 12 is provided. The third lever 2 is oriented to rotate freely.
3 is connected to a solenoid 26, and is adapted to return to its original position by a spring 27. Figure 1 h) shows the front view, and Figure 2 shows the state before the IC card is inserted. 1-1 Figure 3 d:
Release the contact between the IC card 1 and the sliding piece 19j-/
It represents the ζ state. As shown in FIG. 3, when the solenoid 26 is actuated, the second lever 23 rotates and lifts the second lever 24 with its tip, and at the same time the bin 7,
-> 20 is pushed upward, and the sliding piece 19 integrated with the bottle 20 is moved upward. As a result, the contact between the IC card 1 and the sliding piece 19 is released. Next, the motor 7 is rotated in the normal direction to eject the IC card rearward.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, by having a rear ejection function, it is possible to prevent accidents caused by defective cards in automatic teller machines, etc. (prevent recurrence of accidents by collecting defective cards). ) has the effect of Furthermore, by employing a contact block that moves diagonally and in a straight line a, the driving force can be reduced and a small motor with low power consumption can be used. Further, by transporting the C-card using only the driving roller without using the presser roller, it is possible to realize a small and thin IC card reader.
