Description
これらの図において、図1は、カード処理装置を示す図であり、全体構成を示す斜視図、図2は、図1に示すカード処理装置において、カード収納部を開放した状態を示す斜視図、図3は、図2に示すカード処理装置を反対側から見た図、図4は、図2に示すカード処理装置の主要部を分解して示す斜視図、図5は、図3に示すカード処理装置の主要部を分解して示す斜視図、そして、図6は、図1に示すカード処理装置を側面から見た斜視図である。
カード収納部5は、挿入されるカードを積層して収納する略立方体形状のケーシング5Aを備えている。このケーシング5Aは、後端側に支軸40を保持しており、支軸40がフレーム1Bに回転可能に支持されることで、図1及び図2に示すように、フレーム1Bに対して回動可能となっている。なお、図1は閉鎖状態(ロック状態)を示しており、図2は開放状態を示している。
上記したように、ステップS1においてカードの搬送処理を実施することで、カードが検出できない位置に存在していても、いずれかのセンサ10,13,32、或いはRFIDアンテナ30によってカードの存在(残留)を検出することが可能となる。
最初、挿入検出センサ10がカードを検出しているか否が判断され(ステップS61)、カードが検出できなければ(ステップS61;No)、カード位置検出センサ13,32がカードを検出しているか否が判断される(ステップS62)。そして、このステップS62において、カードが検出できなければ(ステップS62;No)、RFIDアンテナ30によってカードのIDの読み取り処理を行い(ステップS63)、カードのIDが読み取りできなければ(ステップS63;No)、装置内にカードが存在していないことから、後述する通常の制御動作(ステップS3以降の処理)を実行する。
ステップS3以降の処理では、まず、カード収納部5に配置されている収納部検出センサ35が、可動部材53を検出しているか否かを判断する(ステップS3)。これは図6及び図7(c)に示したように、カード収納部5のケーシング5Aが閉じているか否かを検出するものであり、ケーシング5Aが開いた状態にあると、可動部材53の屈曲部は、受発光部35aから外れることから、可動部材53を検出できない信号が生成され、エラー信号をCPUに送信し(ステップS3;No、ステップS4)、以後のカード処理を実行することはない。この場合、例えば、外部装置300に対してエラー信号を送信し、カード収納部5がロックされていないことを管理者に対して報知するようにしても良い。
