The present invention relates to a system for issuing a ticket by sequentially recording the issuing information on the stacked card.

The card ticketing system is mainly used in places where access control is required, such as public parking lot, which requires checking the access time of a vehicle and charges a fee. Generally, a card of a synthetic resin material is used rather than a disposable card.

However, the conventional card ticketing system uses a general roller and a stepped portion, and in order to accurately draw out only one card, two cards are stuck by contaminants or excessive friction force is applied. Was not provided, and each time such an error had to be manually corrected and reset.

Also, the card supply unit, which is a means for supplying a card to a withdrawal point by stacking and elevating the card with a stacker and a card lift shaft, had to lift the card to the withdrawal point by hand and check the loading state from time to time.

In addition, the operator performs ticketing in a semi-automatic manner by issuing a card by driving the device.The motor driven once for card issuance maintains rotation until the card reaches the ticketing point from the withdrawal point. There was a problem of wasted power.

Accordingly, the present invention, in the card ticketing system for issuing a stack of cards one by one, easy to separate the cards in contact with the top and bottom, and introduce an automated system to significantly reduce the weight of the manual work and to automatically cope with the expected error. To provide a card ticketing system that can be used.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a card supply unit for loading the card and position the card at the card withdrawal point; A card withdrawal unit which sequentially withdraws the stacked cards one by one at the withdrawal point; And a card issuing system for issuing the stacked cards one by one, including a card issuing unit for recording and issuing the issuance information on the card that has been drawn out and transported, wherein the card withdrawing unit provides a rotational force in a clockwise direction. And a motor rotating shaft installed outside of the drawing motor and rotating together to transmit the rotational force of the drawing motor, connected to the motor rotating shaft and the first belt member to rotate together in a clockwise direction. A second forward rotation shaft connected to the motor rotation shaft and the second belt member to rotate together in a clockwise direction, and a reverse rotation shaft installed in a downward direction of the second forward rotation shaft and connected to the second belt member. The first forward rotation shaft, the second forward rotation shaft, and the reverse rotation shaft simultaneously rotate clockwise according to the rotation of the drawing motor, and the first forward rotation shaft. The coaxial is connected to the rotary shaft of the first take-out roller positioned on the front end of the card accumulated in the stacker so that when the first forward pivot rotates clockwise, the first take-out roller also rotates clockwise together at the take-out point. A card having passed through the first drawing roller and a second drawing roller connected to a second forward rotation shaft and a reverse roller connected to a reverse rotation shaft to draw out only one card of the loaded cards. Entering therebetween, on the reverse roller is provided with an elastic gap portion supported by the elastic body in an open shape corresponding to the rollers to cause the elastic body to interpose a gap between the reverse roller and the elastic interval portion and the second take-out roller is the elastic By contacting the gap, the rotational force of the reverse roller is not applied to the card during normal operation when only one card enters the card. When two sheets overlap each other, the increased thickness of the card presses the elastic gap so that the lower part of the lower card is affected by the rotation of the reverse roller through the opening of the elastic gap so that the lower card is retracted and removed. It provides a card ticketing system, characterized in that it can be withdrawn sequentially one by one.

According to another feature of the invention, the card issuing system further comprises a control unit, characterized in that the card supply unit, card withdrawal unit and card issuing unit is driven by the control signal of the control unit.

Card supply unit (10)

Looking at the detailed configuration, the card supply unit 10 was implemented by the automatic lifting method using the lifting motor 101, the card lifting shaft 103 of the stacker 102 is not the conventional lowering card supply system lifting motor ( The card is fed to the withdrawal point A while being driven up by the power transmission unit 104 which rotates by 101.

In this case, as the power transmission unit 104 for transmitting power to the card lifting shaft 103 by the lifting motor 101, a gear and a timing belt are shown, which can be variously modified as just parts according to the prior art. The specific method is not the technical core of the present invention, it is sufficient to adopt a suitable means for each device in the prior art.

As described above, the card lifting unit of the present invention is a rising supply method, which can maintain a constant pressure as compared with the conventional descending feeding method, without burdening the machine, and convenient for replacement work, and a space in which a large number of cards can be collectively loaded. There is an advantage. In addition, since the automatic lifting method after loading has the advantage of reducing errors and improving work efficiency.

As described above, in the automatic elevating method by the elevating motor, the card supply unit needs a sensor capable of detecting a place where the card elevating should be stopped. In this embodiment, the upper limit sensor ( The card detecting unit 105, which is a card cover type sensor system including the 105a) and the lower limit sensor 105b, is introduced to detect the position according to the ascending and descending of the card.

When the card rises and accumulates to the upper limit sensor 105a, the rising stops, and when the card goes down to the lower limit sensor 105b, the card is collectively raised by a predetermined amount again.

At this time, in order to prevent the overflow state in which the card rises above the upper limit sensor, an overflow detection sensor 105c is further included, and upon overflow, the card lift shaft performs a reset operation of descending to the minimum limit sensor 103a.

The minimum limit sensor 103a sensor is required in order to prevent a collision with the bottom of the card lifting shaft in the automatic lifting method.

Card withdrawal unit (20)

The card withdrawal unit 20 is raised as accumulated in the stacker and means for withdrawing only one card at the top of the cards at the withdrawal point, which is an essential part of the present invention. Detailed view.

In the present invention, the card that is the ticketing target includes not only a new card but also a reusable card. In the case of a reusable card, there is a characteristic that a lot of errors occur in supplying one by one correctly because the contamination state is different.

Therefore, the card withdrawal unit 20 of the present invention serves to separate and supply exactly one card without an error even in a situation where the cards are difficult to be separated correctly one by one due to contaminants.

To this end, the second motor rotated by the first forward rotation shaft 203 and the second belt member 202a mounted with the drawing motor 201 and interlocked by the first belt member 202 according to the rotation of the drawing motor. The forward rotation shaft 204 and the reverse rotation shaft 205 are included.

The first forward rotation shaft 203, the second forward rotation shaft 204, and the reverse rotation shaft 205 are simultaneously rotated clockwise by one motor 201, and the position thereof is the motor rotation shaft 201a. The first belt member 202 is connected to the first forward rotation shaft 203 and the second belt member 202a is connected to the second forward rotation shaft 204 and the reverse rotation shaft 205 from the front. If you look at it, it becomes a '∧' shape.

The first forward rotation shaft 203 is connected to the rotation shaft of the first drawing roller 203a located on the front end of the card accumulated in the stacker so that the first forward rotation shaft 203 rotates clockwise. The first take-out roller also rotates clockwise to draw the top card of the stacker.

The first forward rotation shaft 203 and the second drawing roller 204a and the reverse rotation shaft 205 connected to the second forward rotation shaft 204 to draw and supply exactly one card by rotation. The card enters between the reverse rollers 205a which are connected.

At this time, the reversing roller 205a is supported by the elastic body 206a and a portion corresponding to the reversing roller part is provided with an elastic gap 206 having a shape that is open, and the reversing roller and the elastic gap 206 by the elastic body 206a. By interposing the gap therebetween and making the second take-out roller 204a contact with the elastic gap 206, the rotational force of the reverse roller 205a is not applied to the card in the normal operation of entering only one card. Do not

However, as shown in FIG. 6, in an error situation in which two cards overlap each other, the thickness of the card will be greater than or equal to a predetermined standard, so that the elastic gap 206 is pressed, and the lower part of the lower card is an opening of the elastic gap. The lower card is retracted and removed under the influence of the rotation of the reverse roller through 206b.

 That is, the second forward rotation shaft 204 and the backward rotation shaft 205 are tied together by one second belt member 202a and rotated clockwise in the same way, but enter between the two rotation shafts. Based on the card, the upper part is designed to receive the force in the forward direction by the second drawing roller 204a, and the lower part is designed to receive the force in the reverse direction by the backward roller 205a, but the elastic gap 206 is Through the rotation of the reversing roller can be selectively acted so that only the top card can be supplied exactly in normal operation as well as in the event of two sheets entering at once.

This is especially useful when issuing a recycling card, which is likely to enter by two sheets due to pollutants, and is a breakthrough structure that improves the accuracy of operation.

The card reaching the supply point B through the above process is detected by the supply point sensor 207.

Card transfer unit (30)

When the card transfer unit 30 supplies one card from the card withdrawal unit 20, the card transfer unit 30 serves to transfer the card to the standby position before entering the card issuing unit 50.

The card conveying unit 30 is connected to a belt member such as a timing belt by a separate conveying motor 301 and rotates in a counterclockwise direction 302 and 302a, and a conveying roller 303 and 303a connected to the conveying shaft. ).

The card transfer unit 30 is a part that can be omitted as necessary to reduce the size (especially the length) of the entire device, but is necessary to return the card found to be error in the card issuing unit 50. would.

The transfer rollers 303 and 303a are provided with separate counter rollers 304 and 304a which are not connected to the transfer rotation shafts 302 and 302a at the top thereof to transfer the card, and the transfer rollers located at the lower part of the card ( 303,303a rotates counterclockwise to advance the card, and the counter roller, which is not affected by the feed rotation shaft, rotates clockwise naturally according to the rotation of the feed rollers 303,303a to help advance the card and to release the card. To prevent.

In this case, the counter roller 304 supports the card by applying tension by the elastic member 304b so as to press the card based on the conveying roller. In the present invention, the counter roller 304 provides the elastic member 304b from the outside. Breaking away from the conventional spring method pulling downward, bend the linear metal and fix one end to the side in the card transfer part, and press the other end to wrap the rotating shaft on the rotating shaft of the counter roller to press directly on the rotating shaft with the restoring force of the metal. Make sure As a result, it is possible to improve durability while strengthening the supporting force of the elastic member.

The card feeder 30 is preferably provided with two or more feed rollers 303 and 303a. The first feed roller 303 is located close to the second take-out roller 204a and after the card reaches the feed point. It is desirable to enable parallel processing between the components by enabling subsequent card transfer with only the transfer motor.

In addition, a recovery guide part 305 is installed in the lower space between the first feed roller 303 and the second feed roller 303a so that the card returned from the card issuing part 40 can be discharged.

The recovery induction part 305 is a pedestal having a slightly upward inclination in the forward direction, and when the card is advanced, the upward inclination may be maintained again by elasticity after the card passes. Therefore, when the card is returned, the card may be discharged into the space formed by the upward inclination of the recovery induction part instead of passing through the first conveyance roller.

In this way, the card transferred by the card transfer unit 30 reaches the standby point C, which is detected by the standby point sensor 306.

Card issuer 40

The card issuing unit 40 is a means for issuing a card to a user by recording information necessary for issuing the card in the card, and it is sufficient to use a conventional ticketing module. However, improvement of functional aspects such as error detection can be solved programmatically and should be discharged to the recovery induction part through reverse rotation in case of error.

The card issuing unit 40 basically transfers the card through a configuration similar to that of the card transfer unit 30, such as the issuing motor 401, the discharge rotation shafts 402 and 402a, and the discharge rollers 403 and 403a. The difference is that the card recorder 404 and card reader 405 are further included.

The card recording unit 404 writes information necessary for the magnetic part of the card, and the card reading unit 405 reads the contents recorded by the card recording unit 404 again and compares them with the contents to be recorded. It is determined that the error and the card is rotated in reverse rotation to provide an error card detection system for discharging to the outside through the recovery induction unit 305.

The card in which information is normally recorded in the magnetic finally reaches the ticketing point D, and the ticketing point sensor 406 detects this.

Control unit

Since the card ticketing system according to the present invention is automatically performed from card loading to ticketing, a controller as a control circuit for collecting the information of the sensor and sending out control signals for operation of each component is necessary.

7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an operation relationship between the control unit 50 and the sensors of each component of the present invention.

The upper limit sensor 105a, the lower limit sensor 105b, the overflow sensor 105c, and the lowest limit sensor 103a, which are sensors of the card supply unit 10, determine whether the card exists at a corresponding point of the card 50 in the control unit 50. The controller then drives the components required for the predetermined operation according to the detected contents.

In addition, the supply point sensor 207, the standby point sensor 306 and the ticketing point sensor 406 allows the control unit to grasp the card movement situation, the card withdrawal unit 20, card transfer unit 30 and card issuing unit ( 40) Using parallel motors, parallel processing is possible and quick response to errors is possible.

However, in order to adjust the degree of parallel processing, the motors may be integrated and operated as appropriate, so that the motors for each component may be integrated or separated as necessary.

Looking at the signal transmission of the control unit according to the information of the sensor and the operation of the component in more detail, first withdraw the card from the stacker, the control unit drives the withdrawal motor of the card extraction unit when the card is detected at the lower limit sensor point Transfer the top card to the Supply Point.

At this time, if the card is not detected by the lower limit sensor, the lift motor is driven to raise the card lift shaft until the upper limit sensor can detect the card, and when the overflow sensor sends a detection signal, the controller By lowering the card lift shaft until the card lift shaft is detected, the stacking error can be corrected.

When the card is detected at the feed point (B) after driving the draw motor, the transfer motor is driven to transfer this card to the standby point. When the card is detected at the standby point (C), the draw motor is driven to feed the next card. Perform parallel processing to transfer up to.

If the card is not detected at the ticketing point, it means that the user withdraws the card. Therefore, the card is driven to the discharge point to reach the ticketing point (D).

However, since the card issuing unit has a card reading unit, if the card reading unit is determined to be an error card, the controller reversely rotates the discharge motor and the transfer motor so that the error card can be discharged using the recovery induction unit.

As such, the controller determines the card loading status and the presence or absence of the card at the supply point, the waiting point, and the ticketing point based on the information of the sensor, and controls the parallel processing of continuously transferring and issuing the card. The speed can be improved more than twice.

According to the card withdrawal unit of the present invention, the ability to accurately separate one card at the top from the loaded card without regard for contamination of the card is very excellent, and the accuracy of the card ticketing system can be improved drastically.

In addition, by installing a separate motor and position sensor for each component and controlling the operation of each component by the sensor, the entire process is automated from card lift to card ticketing, enabling parallel processing by component and generating errors. It can be flexibly coped to provide a high-performance card ticketing system with accuracy, reliability and convenience.
