EXAMPLE

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a block diagram of a pawl device for an automatic dog tag according to the present invention.

The pawl device for automatic ticketing machines of the present invention includes a microprocessor 150 and a passenger entrance sensor input to the microprocessor, in addition to the conventional magnetic head unit 10, the determination unit 20, and the gate driving circuit 30. 100, the passenger passing sensor 110, the passenger leg sensor 200, the communication mux 300, and the alarm sound generating circuit 400.

In addition, Figure 3 is a view schematically showing the location where the various sensors according to the invention are installed.

When a ticket provided with a cut record made up of a magnetic barcode, etc., is inserted into the slot 2 of the automatic ticketing machine, the place of purchase of the ticket, the date of purchase, section information, discount information, identification of adults and children, entry time, and issuance Information of the magnetic recording section in which the reverse or the like is recorded is sensed, and the detected information is output to the determination section 20.

Passenger entrance sensor 100 is installed in the longitudinal direction of the side of the automatic ticketing pole (6), when the passenger passes through the automatic ticketing machine detects whether the passenger is a person, a postmark, a discount fare applicable, etc. Outputs a distinct signal

Meanwhile, the passenger passage detection sensor 110 is responsible for detecting that the passenger is in the process of continuously passing the automatic ticketing machine.

The passenger leg sensor 200 is installed to be sensed by the leg of the passenger under the automatic dog tag, that is, when the passenger passes through the passage.

The passenger leg sensor 200 is installed by floating the installation distance of a plurality, for example, about five dog mark. The installation distance at this time is set in consideration of the stride of one ordinary passenger.

The sensor comprises a light emitting element for outputting a predetermined optical signal under the main body of the automatic dog tag, and receives the light emitted from the light emitting element with a light receiving sensor installed under the main body of the other dog mark, The light emitted from the device may be reflected by the side of the other main body through the light-receiving element can be implemented.

When a person passes through the passage of the automatic dog tag, the sensor reacts on one leg and the other leg of the person and outputs two detection signals at the same time. When passing through the plurality of passenger leg sensor 200 will react at least three at the same time.

Therefore, when three or more passenger leg sensors 200 react simultaneously, it may be determined that two or more passengers are using illegally.

Here, the microcomputer recognizes the illegal use according to the algorithm described below as an example, and outputs a signal to drive the gate driving circuit 30 of the present invention to block the gate 4, thereby preventing the illegal use of the passenger's ticket. You can prevent it.

Meanwhile, the alarm signal may be generated by transmitting an output signal to the alarm sound generating circuit 400 at the same time as the signal output to the gate driving circuit 30. At this time, the alarm sound generating device may be installed in the automatic dog ticketing machine or may be installed in the station staff room.

In one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the alarm sound generation function, when the illegal use of the ticket is detected in accordance with the present invention, the signal is transmitted by using the communication mux 300 means to transmit the signal to a remote station such as a station room. You can also

At this time, the station staff can also expect the usage of receiving the alarm signal or the signal through the mux means, grasping the situation through a closed circuit video device (not shown), or the like so as to properly cope with it.

Hereinafter, the algorithm of the microcomputer 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

Subsequently, if there is an input of the passenger passage detection sensor 110, it recognizes that the vehicle enters in the no-state state (ST 14) and blocks the gate (ST 15).

If the result of the determination in the above-mentioned ticket input determination step ST 12 is YES, next, the input of the passenger passing detection sensor is waited (ST 16). It is thus recognized that the passenger is passing normally.

Thereafter, it is determined whether the light shielding state from the passenger leg detection sensor 200 of the present invention, that is, three or more detection signals are simultaneously input (ST 17). In this case, if the determination result is YES, that is, if it is determined that two or more people pass at the same time, the above step ST 15 is performed to block the gate.

On the other hand, if the result of the above-described determination step is NO, that is, in the case of normal passage, the operation flow is terminated, and the flow returns to the first flow, and the passenger's entry and unauthorized passage are again checked.

In addition, as an embodiment of the present invention, the algorithm of the microprocessor 150 described above is an alarm sound to the alarm sound generating device at the rear end of the gate blocking step (ST 15) to close the gate 4 by recognizing the above-described misuse It is also possible to further include the step (ST 16) for generating a signal.
