{A passport examination device with a passport open and close module}

The present invention relates to a passport inspection device having a passport opening and closing section. More specifically, in a conventional passport inspection device, the problem of manually opening and closing the identity information sheet of an electronic passport is that the inspection efficiency is reduced and the identity information sheet is contaminated. It relates to a passport inspection device that improves the efficiency of passport inspection by having a passport opening and closing section that automatically opens and closes the identity information sheet of the electronic passport.

Although forgery prevention technology was applied to conventional passports, forgery and alteration were still possible, special devices were required to detect forgery and alteration, and skilled inspectors were needed.

The electronic passport (e-Passport, electronic passport) was developed to solve the problems of conventional passports. Generally, an electronic passport is a non-contact IC chip that stores identity information and biometric data. This refers to the passport that is built in.

The basic form of the electronic passport is similar to that of a conventional passport, as it is produced in the form of a paper booklet and can be used like a conventional passport. The identity information sheet of the e-passport is made of PC (Poly Carbonate), and the chip embedded in the identity information sheet stores the same identity information contained in the existing passport as well as biometric information that can confirm identity more reliably. .

In this way, after manufacturing an electronic passport in which identity information and biometric information are stored, a passport inspection process to check for defects in the electronic passport is essential, and for this purpose, a passport inspection device that inspects the identity information sheet is used.

However, in a conventional passport inspection device, the process of manually opening and closing the identity information sheet of an electronic passport causes a significant waste of resources such as manpower and time, and is a major cause of lowering the production efficiency of electronic passports.

In addition, there is a high possibility that contamination (such as finger marks) or opening mistakes that may occur in the electronic passport may occur during the process of a person opening and closing the identity information sheet by hand.

Accordingly, there has been a steady demand from those skilled in the art to improve problems that arise in the process of manually opening and closing a passport.
