Description

one

The invention relates to integrated automation systems for ticket and cash transactions at railway junctions, in particular, to a system of automatic distribution of seats.

Systems of automatic distribution of places are known, consisting of an operator's console, including control sections with a set of carriage buttons of the first and second groups, data entry and information reading, a central node, including a switching unit, memory devices, remote controls, information input, reading, multiple coordinate connections, and cash units containing interconnected cash register switching cabinets, cashier’s console and printing devices.

However, such a system does not provide accurate places.

The purpose of the invention is to increase the reliability of the system in operation. To do this, one contact of the first group of each car button is connected to the positive power source, and the second contact of the same group, which is closed when the button is pressed, is connected to the remote control cabinet, one contact of the second group of the named button is connected to the cabinet of multiple coordinate connections, and the second contact This group, which is locked when the button is pressed, is connected to the remote control cabinet. For the purpose of visual information on the number of seats sold, an accumulator is placed on the operator’s console and connected to the output of the remote control unit. The drawing shows a block diagram of the proposed system.

The system of automatic distribution of seats consists of an operator’s console containing a control section 1 with carriage buttons 2 of the first group and contacts 3 and 4 and carriage buttons 5 of the second group with contacts 6 and 7 (the number of carriage buttons of the first and second groups corresponds to the number of seats in trains) , data entry section 8 with buttons (not shown), section 9 of reading information with buttons (not shown).

Buttons 2 and 5, when pressed, can short circuit 10, 11 of advance information and circuit 12, 13 of the location information. The operator console is connected to the central unit, including the remote control cabinet 14, the cabinets 15 of multiple coordinate connections, the latter selecting and transmitting information about the places available and sold.

The cabinets 15 are electrically connected to the cabinets 16 of the storage devices and the switching unit 17, which in turn is connected to the remote control cabinet 14, the information input cabinet 18 and the information reading cabinet 19.

The input and output of the information input cabinet 18 is connected to the data input section 8, and the output of the information reading section 9 is connected to the input of the information reading cabinet 19, which is also connected to the information input cabinet 18.

The automatic space allocation system also consists of cash units connected to the central node, containing cash register switching cabinets 20, cashier control panel 21 and electrically operated printing devices 22, the switching unit 17 being connected to cash register switching cabinets 20, and connected with a cabinet 14 remote control.

Circuit 10, 11 enters a circuit having a corresponding number of all-wagon electric relays (not shown) placed in the remote control cabinet 14, and when the corresponding buttons (2, 5) are pressed, the contacts of these relays close to one of the cabinets 15 multiple coordinate connections and the circuit 12, 13 serves to supply voltage to the corresponding point of the circuit of the remote control cabinet 14 and through it to one of the cabinets 15 multiple coordinate connections.

On the operator’s console, there is a summing counter 23 connected to the output of terminal 4 of the remote control and serving for visual information on the number of seats sold.

Automatic distribution of seats is carried out as follows. The operator’s console is switched to the information input mode. To do this, pressing the corresponding carriage buttons 2, 5 of the designed train closes the corresponding chains 10, 11 of the preliminary information and chains 12, 13 of the information of places. Then pressing the corresponding buttons on the data entry section 8 prepares the information input to the car, which triggers the operation of the corresponding all-carriage relay to the remote control box 14, and the signal through the closed circuit 10, 11 enters into one, from the cabinets 15 multiple coordinate connections, where preparation is carried out circuits for receiving a signal from one or another cabinet of 16 memory devices. As soon as the circuit is prepared, it will receive a signal from the corresponding cabinet 16, signaling the presence or absence of the requested space, which is done when reading from the foil placed in the cabinets 16. Then the signal about the presence or absence of space will go to remote control 14, from it B is the switching unit 17, then to the information entry gate 18 and to the data entry section 8, where one of the thyratrons of the corresponding button will light up, which is a signal of free space.

After entering the information of the places in the trains of the train being prepared, the operator’s console is switched to the cash register mode and now, when requesting information coming through one of the cash register commuting terminals 20, the signal from the remote control console 14 will arrive at the console 21 to the security station. When you press the button for the sold place, the signal from the cashier’s console 21 will go back through its cabinet 20 to the remote control terminal 14, the corresponding terminal 15 multiple coordinate connections and 16 memory devices, where the foil burns at the corresponding point, which is necessary to record the sold place. The control pulse on recording the space sold through the same cabinets (15, 14) and the switching unit 17 will return back to the cabinet 20 and will activate the electrically controlled printing device 22, which will issue the ticket. At the same time, the signal from the remote control cabinet 14 will go to a summing counter, where there are numbers on the number of tickets sold.
