Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate, and more specifically, the invention relates to an automatic ticket gate, and more specifically, for example, a guide display device that alternately displays two different types of guide information. Regarding a two-way automatic ticket gate.

(Prior Art) Automatic ticket gates have become widely used in recent years to save labor in ticket gate operations. Particularly, in order to make effective use of the ticket gate space, bidirectional automatic ticket gates have been conventionally provided in which one aisle can be used for both entry and exit. This type of two-way automatic ticket gate 1 is installed between an entry-only automatic ticket gate 2 and an exit-only automatic ticket gate 3, as shown in FIG. Depending on the situation, it can be used alternately for entry and exit, improving the throughput of passengers getting on and off.

However, as described above, the two-way automatic ticket gate 1 is used for entry and exit depending on the time of use or the increase or decrease in the number of passengers. For this reason, entrance and exit signs such as "entrance" and "exit" attached to the end walls of the dedicated automatic ticket gates 2 and 3 shown in FIG. It is not possible to have a fixed arrangement, and when switching between entry and exit, it becomes necessary to replace the entrance display and exit display as well.

This type of work to replace entrance and exit signs is
If the two-way automatic ticket gate 1 is not properly switched between entry and exit, when a user attempts to pass through the two-way automatic ticket gate 1, it will be difficult to determine whether it is for entry or exit. There was a problem in that it was not possible to easily determine whether there was a train or not, and conversely, the flow of passengers getting on and off the train was stagnant and the processing efficiency of passengers was reduced.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) As a conventional example for solving the above problem,
There is one shown in Publication No. 50-141700. but,
The display used in this device has a lamp placed on the back of the display board with guidance information attached, and the guidance is switched by turning the lamp on or off, so the lamp must always be on during display operation. This has the problem that it consumes a lot of power and cannot be used continuously over a long period of time because it is affected by the life of the lamp.

The present invention was made to solve the above problems, and it is possible to use one device for both entry and exit, and to easily switch between the two. The purpose of this invention is to provide a two-way automatic ticket gate that consumes little power and can be used for a long period of time.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) The present invention provides a two-way automatic ticket gate in which guidance display devices for controlling the passage of passengers are provided on opposite sides of a frame. The frame includes a frame provided with an opening window, a rotation shaft disposed inside the opening window, and first and second guides arranged rotatably about the rotation shaft and different from each other on the front and back surfaces. a display board with information;

It is composed of: Display board 2 like this
1 and a portion of the frame 10B' constitute the stop position regulating means, no special parts are required and the structure can be extremely simple.

The rotary solenoid constitutes a rotating mechanism, and a control means is provided for controlling energization and de-energization of the rotary solenoid.

Next, the operation of the apparatus of the above embodiment will be explained. First of all,
When the rotary solenoid 24 is not energized, the guidance display device 16 facing the outside P ₁ shown in FIG. 1b displays "entrance" guidance information as shown in FIG. 2a; In the guide display device 16 facing the compound side _P2 shown in b, when the solenoid 24 is not energized, the guide information of "exit" is displayed as shown in FIG. The two-way automatic ticket gate in this state is used for entry.

Here, when the two-way automatic ticket gate is used for exiting, the control means operates based on the exiting setting signal, and the rotary solenoid 2
4 is excited. Then rotary solenoid 2
4 rotation shaft 24A is driven, and the first link 25
2b against the biasing force of a biasing member (not shown).
It is rotated in _two directions as shown by arrow B. This rotational displacement is transmitted to the display board 21 via the second link 27, third link 29, etc., and the display board 21 is rotationally displaced in the direction of arrow A2 shown in FIG. _2b . When the display board 21 is rotated approximately 180 degrees, the locking part 21B of the display board 21 comes into contact with the contact part 10C of the frame 10B', as shown in FIG. 4, and the rotational displacement of the display board 21 is surely stopped. be done. As a result, the "exit" guidance information attached to the back side of the display board 21 in the guidance display device facing the outside of the premises P ₁ is transferred to the opening window 20.
In the case of a guide device facing the inside of the premises P ₂ , the "entrance" guide information attached to the back side of the display board 21 is displayed on the opening window 20.

Thereafter, when the two-way automatic ticket gate is used for admission, the control means operates based on the admission setting signal, and the rotary solenoid 24
is demagnetized. Then, the first link 25 moves as shown in the arrow in FIG. 4 by the biasing force of a biasing member (not shown).
B Rotated in _one direction. This rotational displacement is transmitted to the display board 21 via the second link 27, third link 29, etc., and the display board 21 is moved by the arrow shown in FIG.
A Rotationally displaced in _one direction. When the display plate 21 is rotated by approximately 180 degrees, the locking portion 21B of the display plate 21 is rotated to the contact portion 10C of the frame 10B' as shown in FIG. 2b.
The rotational displacement of the display board 21 is reliably stopped by contacting the display board 21. As a result, the "entrance" guidance information that was attached to the back side of the display board ₂₁ for the guidance display device facing the outside of the premises P1 is displayed on the opening window 20,
In the case of the guide display device facing the inside of the premises _P2 , the "exit" guide information attached to the back side of the display board 21 is displayed on the opening window 20.

In this way, the guide display device 16 switches between displaying appropriate "entrance" and "exit" guidance depending on whether the ticket gate is for entry or exit, so passengers can check whether the two-way automatic ticket gate is for entry or exit. It is possible to easily determine whether the vehicle is in the vehicle, and to smoothly process passengers getting on and off the train.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention as detailed above, the following unique effects can be obtained.
