If the shape generates only an insignificant force, the IC card 5 can be kept at the card stop position 6 as in the present embodiment.
- the IC contact block 12 and the card receiving member 13 always return to the initial position, that is, the retracted state, when the IC card 5 is pulled out.
- the return force acting on the IC contact block 12 in the card return direction exceeds the resistance force acting on the card insertion direction, and the IC contact block 12 is automatically initialized. It returns to the position. More specifically, the return force in this case is the friction force generated between the IC card 5 and the IC contact spring 11 and the biasing force of the return spring 17 12129
- the resistive force is the frictional force generated between the horizontal plane 27b and the follower 28, and the return force exceeds the resistive force.
- the card receiving member 13 is moved in parallel using the rotatable arm 20.
- the frame of the card reader body is used. 2 is provided with a cam groove 23 in an oblique direction, and a pin 24 formed on the side of the card receiving member 13 is guided by the cam groove 23 to move the card receiving member 13 in the card conveying direction. It may be possible to move closer to or farther from the card path 14 while doing so.
- the IC card reader 1 it is possible to reduce the number of parts and to suppress costs.
- a horizontal portion 23a for facilitating holding the card receiving member 13 in the card receiving state is provided on the card insertion direction side of the cam groove 23.
- the operational feeling felt by the user at the time of manual operation is improved by reducing the load at the time of card operation in the manual type IC card reader 1 or preventing the sudden increase, thereby improving the operation efficiency during card insertion.
- the present invention is not limited to such a manual type IC card reader 1, and the present invention is not limited to such a manual type IC card reader 1, for example, a motor type IC card reader, that is, the IC card 5 is moved in the card conveying direction using the driving force of a motor.
- the present invention may be applied to an IC card reader that is automatically transported to an IC card reader. In this case, since the card carrying force is suppressed, it is possible to reduce the load on the motor and, consequently, to reduce the current consumption of the motor.
- the IC card reader 1 As a preferred embodiment of the IC card reader 1, all or a part of the IC card reader 1 moves in the card transport direction and approaches or moves away from the card travel path 14.
- the card receiving member 13 has been described, even if the card receiving member 13 can be moved horizontally only in the card transport direction, it is possible to prevent a sudden increase in the card insertion load.
- Lateral holes 36 extending in the card conveying direction are provided at the rear two places, and a card receiving member 13 movable horizontally only in the card conveying direction by a guide bin 37 passing through the horizontal hole 36.
- the IC contact spring 11 is provided so as to start moving horizontally with the IC card 5 from the point where the load starts to increase when it comes into contact with the IC card 5, the frictional resistance generated between the IC card 5 and the backside of the force It is possible to eliminate.
- the card receiving member 13 provided with the pressure receiving portion 18 so as to interlock with the IC card 5 has been described, but the card receiving member not provided with the pressure receiving portion 18 has been described. 13 is also possible.
- a system driven by a solenoid or a system driven by a motor may be used, and the force receiving member 13 may be moved by a solenoid motor or the like.
- a solenoid drive method for example, the completion of IC card insertion is detected by a sensor such as a photo interrupter or a micro switch, and when this sensor is turned on, the card receiving member 13 is moved from the retracted position by the solenoid to the IC card when the sensor is turned on. 5
- a motor driving method there is a mechanism using a motor instead of the solenoid.
- the present invention is applied to the IC card reader 1 including the IC contact block 12 that moves while maintaining parallelism and the rotatable card receiving member 13 has been described.
- the IC card reader 1 to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to the one described above.
- the IC card reader 1 shown in the first embodiment that is, the IC contact block 12 and the card receiver
- the present invention is also applied to an IC card reader 1 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) in which a card receiving member 13 moves obliquely by a cam groove 23 (see FIGS. L to 3).
- a component force acting on the IC contact block 12 from the card receiving member 13 in the card return direction.
- the IC card reader 1 shown in the first embodiment has a structure in which the IC contact block 12 and the card receiving member 13 gradually approach in the process of changing from the retracted state to the contact state.
- the follower 28 can ride on the horizontal surface 27 b while the IC contact block 12 and the card receiving member 13 approach each other.
- the card receiving member 13 starts to move 2 mm after the IC contact block 12 starts to move, and the card receiving member 13 moves immediately before the card insertion completion position c. Card receiving status.
- a prototype card reader (IC card reader A) with a return spring 19 and a prototype card reader (card reader B) without a return spring 19 were prototyped, and the measurement test results were compared with those of a conventional card reader. Compared to the case.
- Figure 8 shows the measurement results of load fluctuation.
- the point from the point a where the IC card 5 and the IC contact block 12 start contacting to the insertion completion position c is the “contact part”, and the part from the card insertion start position to the contact start point a is the “head part”.
- Point b represents the point at which the IC contact block 12 and the card receiving member 13 start contacting. From this figure, it can be seen that in the conventional card reader, a sudden increase in the operating force at the contact point is conspicuous, but in the prototype card reader provided with the movable card receiving member 13, the load increase rate is moderated. I understand. This is a level at which the improvement effect can be seen even with the sensation of the hand.
