Description

Automatic ticket cutting machine

technical field

The invention relates to an automatic ticket cutting machine with height detection function.

Background technique

When passing through passageways such as ticket gates at stations, in order to judge whether it is an adult or a child, as shown in Figure 15 (a), automatic ticket gates 45, 45 with a height detection function are being used. Above the casings of the automatic ticket gate machines 45, 49, human detection sensors 41, 42 are arranged at positions separated from predetermined heights using rod-shaped sensor mounting members 40. The above-mentioned person detection sensor is generally irradiated from the light irradiator of the automatic ticket gate 45 to the horizontal direction, and the photosensitive photoelectric sensor is used in the photoreceptor of the adjacent automatic ticket gate 45 across the passage, which can block the light according to whether the passer-by passes through. And high-performance detection is higher than the specified height.

Moreover, recently, rodless automatic ticket gates are being used instead of rod-shaped sensor mounting parts, and reflective sensors that are irradiated obliquely upwards are being used. In the case where the positional conditions in the aisle width direction affect the detection accuracy, it is possible to accurately Check the rod type above.

In particular, in foreign countries, there are countries where adult fares and child fares are not determined according to age, but according to the prescribed height. Therefore, accurate detection is required.

On the one hand, as the channel structure of the automatic ticket gate, there is a two-way system in which the housings shown in Figure 15(a) are arranged side by side, and both the entrance side and the exit side (or ticket gate/ticket gate) can pass through the same channel. Type channel configuration (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

According to FIG. 1 of this document, the bar-type automatic ticket cutting machines of the ticket carrying type are arranged side by side.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the ticket carrying unit is not required by handling the non-contact ticket, and the antenna unit for wireless communication with the non-contact ticket is arranged on the opposite side of the entrance and exit, and realizes space saving in the width direction in the bidirectional passage configuration. scheme. (See, for example, Patent Document 2).

Also, in the transport type ticket cutting machine, a two-way type automatic ticket cutting machine is proposed that shortens the distance between the inlet and outlet, arranges the ticket cutting process and the ticket collection process oppositely, and can process in parallel. (refer to patent document 3)

In Fig. 15(a) and Document 1, the processing units (such as ticket input ports) are alternated, and the two housings are arranged back-to-back on both sides in the channel width direction, and then the ticket cutting side and the ticket receiving side adopt respective automatic ticket machine. Compared with this, in Document 2 and Document 3, the space can be reduced by as much as one unit, that is, the conventional space is half.

The above-mentioned Document 2 or Document 3 does not disclose the installation of a rod-shaped sensor mounting member in a space-saving bidirectional passage configuration. As mentioned above, in the case where a more accurate height detection function is required, this needs to be studied.

In the case where the upper surface of the housing of the above-mentioned space-saving two-way automatic ticket cutting machine is suitable for the sensor installation part 40 of the channel direction parallel installation form as shown in Figure 15 (a), as shown in Figure 15 (b) form, there are the following problems. Passers-by as shown in Figure 15 (b), in the passages on the left and right sides of the automatic ticket gate 49, when passing through the passage W on the side where the sensor installation part 40 is installed, the installation part 40 (especially the support part 40a ) will hinder, so that passers-by cannot stretch out the vehicle medium.

That is, in the case of FIG. 15(b), it is difficult for the non-contact IC card to cover the antenna 12a correctly, so that the non-contact IC card cannot pass through the passage smoothly. Moreover, in FIG. 15(b), even if it is installed close to the center of the case width direction, it is difficult to access the antenna parts 11a, 12a from the channels W, X.

For the reasons described above, it is not possible to realize a space-saving two-way automatic ticket gate equipped with a detection function for accurately detecting the height using a rod-shaped sensor mounting member.

Contents of the invention

Therefore, the present invention has been accomplished in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to realize a height detection function that can detect the height of passers-by with high performance in an automatic ticket gate that can reduce the installation space, even if a rod-shaped sensor mounting member is used, It is also an automatic ticket cutting machine that can easily extend the boarding medium to the processing unit (ticket input port or antenna unit).

The automatic ticket gate machine of the present invention includes: a casing, which is formed by two receiving and processing parts that receive the passenger's riding medium from the direction of each adjacent and opposite passage, and are arranged opposite to the passage direction; a human detection sensor, which It is arranged at a position above the upper surface of the housing at a predetermined height to detect a person passing through the passage; the sensor mounting part is equipped with the above-mentioned sensor for detecting a person, and the automatic ticket gate of the present invention is characterized in that the above-mentioned In the sensor attachment member, the pair of receiving and processing sections are mounted on an upper surface of the housing in a spaced-apart manner when the housing is viewed in plan.

The above-mentioned boarding medium includes a non-contact medium used in a non-contact automatic ticket gate, and a contact medium (magnetic medium, etc.) used in a transport-type automatic gate gate. Furthermore, the types of use include ordinary travel tickets, frequency tickets, commuter passes, prepaid cards, and the like. Items such as coin-shaped tokens and portable communication terminals are also included. In addition, it also includes the media provided by all passers-by to the automatic ticket cutting machine when passing through.

The so-called receiving and processing unit in the above is a part that receives the boarding medium, and corresponds to an antenna unit for wireless communication with a non-contact medium, or a slot for a magnetic card, and the like. The two acceptance processing units correspond to the respective passing directions of entrance/exit (or ticket cutting/receiving).

The above-mentioned casing may constitute two of the above-mentioned receiving and processing sections in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, it is also possible to separately form a casing at half or less of the predetermined length in the usual longitudinal direction in the automatic ticket gate, and to constitute one of the above-mentioned receiving and processing parts on the casing, so that the two casings are opposite to the longitudinal direction. status connection. Alternatively, the two casings may be provided at intervals while facing each other in the longitudinal direction.

The above-mentioned automatic ticket gate includes a non-contact automatic gate gate, which is formed by arranging two receiving and processing units opposite to each other in the passing direction for performing a ticket-cutting process or a ticket-collecting process on the non-contact boarding medium in a non-contact state. It also includes a carrier-type automatic ticket cutting machine, which has a pair of input ports and discharge ports for accepting ticket cutting or collection processing for the above-mentioned ride medium, and is arranged opposite to the above-mentioned discharge ports in the passing direction.

In the above description, "in a plan view" refers to a case of a plan view of the casing viewed from above. For example, in the upper view of FIG. 2 , in the case of FIG. 3 , the upper surface of the automatic ticket gate, and the case where the sensor mounting member is viewed from above.

If the above-mentioned sensor mounting member is mounted on the upper surface of the housing in such a way as to distinguish the above two receiving and processing parts, even if the two receiving and processing parts are arranged opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction, the width of the housing is halved, and the passenger can insert the vehicle medium into the housing. The action of the receiving processing unit is not directly hindered by the sensor mounting part. Therefore, the passerby can smoothly perform the operation of inserting the riding medium.

As a preferred aspect of the present invention, the sensor mounting member is formed of a horizontal rod and support portions supporting both ends of the horizontal rod so that when the housing is viewed from above, the sensor mounting member is processed as a pair. In the form that the part is divided, the processing side channels in the passing direction corresponding to the above two receiving and processing parts respectively sandwich the housing, and can be installed at each corner of the housing upper surface in the diagonal direction near the channel on the opposite side. various supports.

The horizontal rod and the support part may be joined by both ends of the horizontal rod, or may be joined by the inner sides of both ends of the rod. That is, both ends of the rod do not protrude from the support portion, and both ends of the rod protrude beyond the support portion. Furthermore, the rod and the supporting portion may be joined in a zigzag shape by a straight line, or may be joined by a curve to form an arch. In addition, the rod and the support portion may be combined as separate members, or may be integrally formed as the same member from the beginning. Also, those in which there is no clear difference in appearance between the rod and the support portion such as, for example, a curved arch shape are included in the present invention.

In addition, the poles in the horizontal direction are not limited to all poles being horizontal to the ground, and may be slightly horizontal or arched.

The above-mentioned channel on the processing side represents the channel on the passing side for the processing of the casing of the automatic ticket gate machine, the channel in the direction of travel corresponding to the receiving and processing unit, that is, the channel that takes the receiving and processing unit as the processing object. Among the aisles on the left and right sides of the automatic ticket cutting machine, the aisle on the left is forward from the direction of entering the aisle. It is assumed here that there are more people who are right-handed, and the channel composition is set.

In passages such as the entrance and exit of an automatic ticket gate, where two receiving and processing parts that read non-contact media are arranged opposite to each other in the passage direction, when a passerby enters, the passerby is usually arranged on the left and right sides of the passage. In the body, it is necessary to use a non-contact medium to cover the antenna of the above-mentioned automatic ticket cutting machine whose direction of travel is on the right.

Here, on the upper surface of the housing of the automatic ticket gate machine on the right side, the sensor mounting part is installed to diagonally connect the corners on the adjacent side of the passage facing the passage that the passer-by enters. Accordingly, the movement of a passer-by to cover the non-contact medium is not physically hindered by the sensor mounting member.

And, conversely, on the upper surface of the casing of the automatic ticket gate on the left side, the sensor mounting part is attached to the corner part on the side of the passageway through which passers-by pass. Therefore, even if a passer-by mistakenly covers the antenna part of the automatic ticket gate on the left side of the aisle with a non-contact medium, since the antenna part is covered by the above-mentioned sensor mounting part, the passer-by will not completely cover the antenna part on the left side with a non-contact medium. .

Therefore, the passer-by can perform the operation of covering the non-contact medium accurately and smoothly.

Moreover, in the case where the two receiving and processing parts of the transported vehicle medium that are dropped into are the carrying type automatic ticket cutting machine formed by the housing oppositely arranged in the passage direction, if the mounting parts are installed in the above-mentioned form, there will be no If you make a mistake, you should insert the above-mentioned input port of the above-mentioned ticket, and there is no such thing as the sensor mounting part covering your hand when you insert it, and the same effect can be obtained as in the case of the above-mentioned non-contact automatic ticket cutting machine.

In addition, the passer-by, after putting in the ticket, still maintains the same height slightly and slides to the outlet along the length direction of the upper surface of the housing, and takes out the ticket from the outlet to carry out this series of actions . This movement moves away from the support portion (pillar) of the sensor mounting member. Moreover, the part of the horizontal bar of the sensor mounting part is installed on the upper surface of the housing through the support part, and is located above the height of the sliding hand, so that the movement will not be blocked by the sensor mounting part, and the passer-by can move smoothly. Carry out the above-mentioned series of actions.

In addition, as another aspect of the invention, the above-mentioned sensor mounting member is formed by supporting two horizontal rods and each support portion of one end of the horizontal rods near the entrance of each channel, so as to be treated with the above-mentioned two. Each of the processing side channels corresponding to the passing direction of each part of the housing is separated from the corners of the upper surface of the housing near the channel on the opposite side. In the channel vicinity on the opposite side of the side channel, along the length direction of the housing, the other ends near the center of the channel of the rods in the horizontal direction can be connected in the form of separating the above-mentioned treatment receiving parts.

The above-mentioned two horizontal rods are preferably each longer than the length of the treatment receiving part in the longitudinal direction, and are formed to be approximately half in the front and rear of the housing in the longitudinal direction.

When the above-mentioned sensor mounting member is viewed from above between the other ends of the above-mentioned two horizontal rods, when the above-mentioned casing is formed in a straight line or an arc-shaped curve, as long as the above-mentioned receiving and processing part is separated, any Any form of connection is possible.

The above-mentioned sensor mounting member is installed on the housing at each corner of the upper surface of the housing corresponding to the opposite side with the antenna portion on the front side (entry side) of the automatic ticket gate located on the right side between the passageways that passers-by enter. Therefore, even if a passer-by covers the antenna part with a non-contact medium, the cover action will not be blocked by the sensor mounting part.

On the other hand, conversely, the sensor installation part installed in the automatic ticket gate on the left side of the passer-by is near the side of the passage where the passer-by enters on the upper surface of the housing, and along the corner of the upper surface of the housing. installed in the lengthwise direction. Thereby, a passer-by will not completely cover the non-contact medium due to a mistake in the antenna portion of the automatic ticket gate located on the left side.

Moreover, in the automatic ticket gate machine in which the antenna parts formed on both sides of the upper surface of the housing in the longitudinal direction are closer to the center side of the upper surface of the housing, the above-mentioned sensor mounting member can also be arranged according to the above-mentioned level. Between the ends of the other side of the rod in the direction, at a substantially middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the housing, it is bent in the width direction of the housing and then separated and connected by two receiving and processing parts.

If the sensor mounting member is in the above form, the sensor mounting member does not exist above (directly above) the antenna portion, so that the operation of the cover non-contact medium can be sufficiently ensured.

And even if the two receiving and processing parts of the ride medium that will be put into the carrier are formed in the case of the oppositely arranged housing in the passage direction, if the mounting parts are installed in the above-mentioned form, it will be difficult to The above-mentioned input port of the above-mentioned ticket should not be inserted by mistake, or the hand will not be covered by the sensor mounting member when inserting, so the same effect as the case of the above-mentioned non-contact automatic ticket cutting machine can be obtained.

Also have the passer-by, after putting in the ticket, still maintain the longitudinal direction of the upper surface of the housing with slightly the same height in the hand of the input to slide until the outlet, and take out the ticket from the outlet to carry out a series of actions.

The above-mentioned movement is the movement away from the support part (pillar) of the sensor mounting part, and since the part of the horizontal rod supported by the support part is located above the height of the hand, this movement will not be blocked by the sensor mounting part. Therefore, the passerby can smoothly perform a series of actions.

In addition, as another aspect of the invention, the sensor mounting member is formed of a horizontal rod and each support portion supporting both ends of the horizontal direction, and the sensor mounting member can be mounted at an intermediate position between two receiving and processing portions when the housing is viewed from above. various supports.

According to the above configuration, in particular, like the other sensor attachment members described above, the sensor attachment member does not block the operation of supplying the riding medium. Also, even if the antenna portion is formed at the center side in the longitudinal direction of the case, since there is no mounting member at the end portion side in the longitudinal direction of the case, passing processing can be performed without blocking the view of passers-by. In addition, since the sensor mounting part is short, cost can be suppressed.

And, in the case of a carrying-type automatic ticket cutting machine formed by the two receiving and processing parts of the vehicle-carrying medium that is put into and carried in the direction of the passage, the sensor mounting member is installed in the above-mentioned form, The sensor mounting member does not block the hand when the ticket is inserted, so the same effect as that of the non-contact automatic ticket cutting machine can be obtained.

In addition, the shapes of the various parts of the above-mentioned sensor mounting components may also be formed in combination.

Further, as another aspect of the invention, an automatic ticket gate is provided with a switching mechanism for switching the two processing units for judging the above-mentioned passability between rotation and stop, respectively.

If adopt above-mentioned structure, according to above-mentioned switching mechanism, passageway can be switched to be one-way usefulness or two-way usefulness, that is, as embodiment of the present invention, besides the automatic ticket cutting machine of two-way usefulness passageway, also includes as passing through switching mechanism setting. The automatic ticket cutting machine of the order-only work.

Moreover, the switching mechanism may be a switching mechanism that station personnel can arbitrarily set, and may also be a switching mechanism that automatically switches after detecting traffic. Or, the switching mechanism switched by the software or data input conversion of the automatic ticket cutting machine.

(invention effect)

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned sensor mounting member is installed in the form of distinguishing two receiving and processing parts, and even if the receiving and processing parts are relatively arranged with a thin case, the action of the passer-by extending the vehicle medium to the receiving and processing parts will not occur. Impeded directly by the sensor mounting part.

Therefore, the rod-shaped sensor mounting member is applied to an automatic ticket gate capable of reducing the installation space in the width direction, and an automatic ticket gate that can easily extend the ride medium to the reception processing section (ticket input port and antenna section) can be realized.

Detailed ways

(Example 1)

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below using the drawings. The outline configuration of the non-contact automatic ticket gate machine 9 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described. In addition, FIG. 1 adopts a perspective view, and FIG. 2 adopts a front view, a top view, and a side view to present the appearance of the non-contact automatic ticket cutting machine 19 .

In addition, the automatic ticket gate 19 is disposed at the entrance and exit of the station by sandwiching the aisle by two units, and arranged like the aisle shown in the center of Fig. channel (dual-purpose channel), etc. (In addition, the channel shown in the center of FIG. 5(a) shows the case of a bidirectional channel.)

As shown in FIG. 1 , antenna portions 11 a , 12 a for wirelessly transmitting and receiving signals are formed between non-contact IC cards serving as tickets on both the entry side and exit side of the upper surface of a housing.

Here, the "entry side" (the side where the entrant enters) refers to the side where the person who intends to enter the station (direction A) from the outside of the station toward the platform side enters toward the ticket gate.

Furthermore, the "exit side" (the exit side) is the side where people who want to exit the station from the platform to the outside (direction B) enter toward the ticket gate.

The antenna units 11a, 12a receive the ticket data transmitted from the non-contact IC card, and correspond to the reception processing unit of the present invention.

Since the antenna parts 11a and 12a are arranged opposite to the passage direction (the longitudinal direction of the casing), the casing of the automatic ticket gate 19 is a thin and space-saving automatic ticket gate in the width direction.

The antenna part 11a is used for the inbound people who pass through the passage on the front side of Fig. 1 along the direction A, and the antenna part 12a is used for the outbound people who pass through the inner passageway in Fig. 1 along the direction B.

Further, travel indicators 17 and 18 are formed on both end surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the casing to indicate whether or not the passerby is allowed to pass by using "○" or "X" symbols. In addition, instead of the "○" sign, a "←" sign indicating a passage on the passable side may be used.

In addition, a door 13 is respectively arranged on the two sides of the entry side in the longitudinal direction of the housing, and a door 14 is respectively arranged on the two sides of the exit side, forming four doors 13 in total. , 14. (Among Fig. 1, Fig. 2, only show 2 doors of figure front side side, the side of inner side also has 2 doors).

In addition, the above-mentioned door is formed in the above-mentioned case, and the sensors 31 and 32 for entry detection are formed. The entry detection sensors 31 and 32 can detect a person entering the passage regardless of whether an adult or a child is on the entry side or the exit side.

In particular, the above-mentioned entry detection sensors 31 and 32 can be applied to the case where a fee is also charged to children since they can detect entry into the passage even by children.

In addition, in order to detect passers-by who pass through the channel from the entry side or the exit side, the channel will be sandwiched, and the sensors 15 and 16 for human detection will be arranged on the sensor installation part 10. The sensors 15 and 16 for human detection are formed by light A photoelectric sensor composed of illuminator 15a, 16a and photoreceptor 15b, 16b. On the side of the front side of FIG. 1 in the central portion of the sensor mounting member 10 in the longitudinal direction, light irradiators 15a, 16a of sensors 15, 16 for detecting people are installed, which detect a prescribed passerby passing through the passage on the front side of FIG. 1 .

In addition, two photoreceptors 15b, 16b are attached to the rear surface of the sensor mounting member 10 corresponding to the above-mentioned two light irradiators 15a, 16a.

Make such automatic ticket gate machine 19 of Fig. 1, two sets of interposing the aisle are arranged side by side, Fig. 3 is the situation of explaining irradiation and photoreception. Light rays are emitted from the light irradiators 15a, 16a of the automatic ticket gate 19 to the photoreceptors 15b, 16b of the opposing automatic ticket gate 19 sandwiching the aisle. Once a person passes by, the person detection sensors 15 and 16 detect a person higher than the installed height by blocking the light.

The above-mentioned sensor mounting member 10 is formed by connecting the supporting parts 10a of the pillars at both ends of the rod in the horizontal direction. Diagonal corners on the upper surface of the casing corresponding to the side opposite to the treatment-side channel are formed to separate the pair of treatment-receiving parts when viewing the casing from above.

Viewed from the upper surface, the bar is installed at a diagonal angle. As shown in Figure 3, the photoirradiator 15a ( 16a) is illuminated between the photoreceptor 15b (16b), and the photoreceptor 15a → 15b (16a → 16b) is vertical to the automatic ticket gate 19, and the person detection sensor 15 (16) is installed at an angle to the pole. (Refer to the partially enlarged view in Figure 3)

In addition, in the above, the light irradiators 15a and 16a are arranged in parallel on the same side, but 15a may be a light irradiator and 16a may be a photoreceptor so that they are arranged interchangeably. In this case, 15b is a photoreceptor, and 16b is a light irradiator. Interference between adjacent sensors can be prevented by exchanging configurations.

Next, each configuration inside the housing will be described using the block diagram shown in FIG. 4 . First, inside the case, there are a CPU 21 which controls each control circuit device described later, and a memory 22 which stores information for judging whether to pass or not.

The CPU 21 controls each control circuit device according to the storage content stored in the memory 22 .

Above-mentioned communication circuit 23, is under the situation that adopts a plurality of automatic ticket cutting machines as Fig. 5 (a) to form the entrance and exit of the station, between each automatic ticket cutting machine, or as the ticket cutting machine of the upper position that has the station personnel's office to monitor The circuit for communication between the screen (not shown) and each automatic ticket cutting machine.

At each processing side of the entrance and exit, for the non-contact IC card, through the above-mentioned antenna part (entrance side) 11a, (outbound side) 12a, read processing of fare information, etc., and write processing according to wireless communication constitute a non-contact IC card. IC card R/W (inbound side) 11, (outbound side) 12.

Furthermore, the non-contact IC card R/W control circuit 24 controls the above-mentioned non-contact IC card R/W (entry side) 11, (exit side) 12 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 21 .

The entry detection sensor control circuit 33 processes the input signals detected by the entry detection sensors 31 and 32 and sends the processed signals to the CPU 21 .

Similarly, the human detection sensor control circuit 26 processes the input signals detected by the human detection sensors 15 and 16 and sends the processed signal to the CPU 21 .

The door control circuit 25 independently instructs the opening and closing of the doors 13 and 14 on the entry side and the exit side based on the processing results of the above-mentioned non-contact IC card R/W control circuit 24 and the human detection sensor control circuit 26. .

The travel indicator control circuit 27 instructs switching of the indication state of either of the travel indicators 17 and 18 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 21 .

And, as shown in Figure 5 (a), the housings of the four automatic ticket gates are separated from each other by a passable interval, and arranged in the width direction of the passage to form the entrance and exit of the station.

In addition, the upper side of the drawing is the exit side (platform side), and the lower side is the entry side (station exterior side).

Two of the above-mentioned four automatic ticket cutting machines adopt a non-contact automatic ticket cutting machine 49 with one antenna part 11a, or 12a, and the remaining two adopt two bidirectional non-contact automatic ticket machines with antenna parts 11a, 12a. Type automatic ticket cutting machine 19.

Here, first, the arrangement of the non-contact automatic ticket gate 49 having one antenna unit described above will be described. One of the above-mentioned two automatic ticket cutting machines 49 is arranged on the opposite side of the station personnel working room across the emergency passage, and the antenna part 11a is located in the direction of the entering side.

There is also an automatic ticket gate 49 disposed on the wall opposite to the station staff room, and the antenna unit 12a is located in the direction of the exit side.

Next, as for the arrangement of the two bidirectional non-contact automatic ticket gates 19, they are arranged in the center of the entrance and exit, that is, between the two automatic gate gates 49 described above.

The entrances and exits mentioned above are composed of 3 passages (excluding emergency passages), and there are the following 3 types according to the direction of passage. The row of aisles away from the station staff office is used as the inbound passage (going to the platform side) A1, the 1 row of aisles near the station staff office is used as the exit passage (passing to the outside side of the station) B1, and the middle one 1 row of channels is used as both inbound and outbound channels (two-way traffic) A2, B2.

The advance indicator 17,18 of each automatic ticket cutting machine 19,49 coordinates the setting of the passage direction of each above-mentioned passage, and indicates the "○" symbol (possible) indicating the passability of the passage on the left side of the housing, or " ×" symbol (no). Passers-by can pass through each passage according to the directions (A1, A2, B1, B2) indicated by the arrows in FIG.

In addition, the "/" sign in FIG. 5 means that the progress indicators 17 and 18 are in a state where there is no indication. Furthermore, instead of the "○" sign, the passage on the passable side may be indicated with a "←" sign.

Since the passageway A1 for entering the station is one-way traffic, the travel indicator 18a on the opposite side of the station entering the station usually indicates "×" (no traffic). Since the outbound channel B1 is one-way traffic, the travel indicator 17c on the opposite inbound side of the outbound side usually indicates "×" (no traffic). Passageway A2 and B2 are used in both directions because of two-way traffic, so after the travel indicators 17b and 18b on both sides indicate "○" (passable), the two-way traffic can be accepted.

Next, the processing of the automatic ticket gate when a passer-by passes through the above-mentioned entrance and exit from the entrance side will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 .

In addition, the following description is a passageway for both in and out of a station, and the above-mentioned doors 13 and 14 are in a normally open state.

A passer-by enters after any passage A1, A2 in the "○" symbol is indicated by the advance indicator 17 of the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 on the right side for each passage selection in Fig. 5 (a).

If, under the situation that the passer-by wants to enter the passage A2, the passer-by, in order to carry out the entry process, covers the antenna portion (entry side) 11a on the upper surface of the housing in the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 on the right side of the passage A2. Touch the IC card (n1).

In this way, the non-contact IC card R/W (entry side) 11 detects the cover of the above-mentioned non-contact IC card. CPU21 sends the detection of non-contact IC card R/W (entrance side) 11 to CPU21 in the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 on the left side of the passerby through the upper communication circuit 23 . Then, the CPU 21 of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the left provides a command to the travel indicator control circuit 27 to switch the travel indicator 18b on the opposite side (outbound side) to an "X" symbol (n2).

In addition, at this time, since the rotation of the antenna portion 12a on the opposite side of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the left side is simultaneously stopped (n3), it is possible to prevent pedestrians from entering from the opposite side.

When the non-contact IC card is properly covered (n1: YES), the non-contact IC card R/W (entry side) 11 transmits and receives the wireless signal of the non-contact IC card through the antenna part (entry side) 11a. The CPU 21 sends the received card data to the memory 22 via the non-contact IC card R/W control circuit 24 (n4).

The CPU 21 judges whether the received card data is passed or not (n5) via the non-contact IC card control circuit 24 based on the judgment data of the passability in the memory 22 .

If the above-mentioned pass judgment is OK (n5: YES), CPU 21, for the non-contact IC card in the state of the cover, will send the information instruction through the antenna part 11a with the card data after the entry and exit record and the balance after deduction are updated. In this way, a card process of recording updated card data in the memory built in the non-contact IC card is performed (n6).

That is, the above-mentioned card processing performs processing of deducting a predetermined amount of money based on predetermined fare data recorded in the memory 22 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 21 (n6).

If the above-mentioned card processing is normally completed (n7: YES), the CPU 21 instructs the door control circuit 25 to open the door 14, and the door 14 is maintained in the open state (n8).

Based on the above, the passer-by can pass through the passage (n9: YES).

Next, after the above-mentioned passerby passes, the passerby who enters from either side of the station waits in the state of passing processing, and the sequence (n10-n12) of returning to the standby state of the automatic ticket gate machine 19 will be described.

CPU21, when providing sensor to detect passer-by (n9: YES), or when overtime (n10: YES), will be positioned at the travel indicator 18b of the opposite side (outbound side) in the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 on the left, again It is switched to a "○" sign (n11), and an instruction to rotate the antenna unit 12a (n12) is given at the same time.

These commands are sent to the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 on the left via the host communication circuit 23 . In addition, the overtime time value fully considers the specified time set due to the time for passers-by to pass the road.

From the above, the automatic ticket gate 19 can be returned to the standby state.

If, when a passer-by enters the passageway, even if the antenna portion 11a does not cover the non-contact IC card and enters (n1: NO), it will be detected by the entry detection sensor 31 (entry side) (n13: YES). Next, switch the travel indicator 18b on the opposite side (exit side) as in the above-mentioned steps n2 and step n3 to the "X" symbol (n14), and stop the antenna unit on the opposite side of the left automatic ticket gate 19 at the same time The rotation (n15) of 12a can prevent passersby from entering from the opposite side.

Then, even after the passer-by enters the channel, if there is no non-contact IC card (n16: YES) to cover the antenna portion 11a, the reading process (n4) of the above-mentioned non-contact IC card, hereinafter, through the same sequence as above (n4～n8) ) can also pass through channel (n9).

If, under the situation that passerby does not cover antenna part 11a with non-contact IC card (n16: NO) directly into passageway center, is detected by human detection sensor 15, this detection result is sent by sensor control circuit 26 for human detection. to CPU21. The CPU 21 judges that the passerby has crossed the center of the passage (crossed the center) (n17: YES), and issues a command to the door control circuit 25 to close the door 14 on the exit side.

Thus, the door 14 is closed (n18), preventing the passage of such passers-by.

Then the above-mentioned passers-by are pushed out from the entry side by the sensor to confirm (n19: YES), or overtime (n20: YES), CPU21, to the door control circuit 25, sends an instruction to open the door 14 of the exit side, and the door is opened (n21). In addition, the time value of timeout is set to a predetermined time set in consideration of the sufficient time required for passers-by to exit from the passage.

Thereafter, in the same manner as the above-mentioned recovery sequence, the travel indicator 18b on the opposite side (outbound side) in the automatic ticket gate 19 on the left is switched to the "○" symbol (n11) again, and the antenna unit 12a is turned on again. Rotate (n12), automatic ticket cutting machine 19, just can stand by even for the passer-by who then enters from any side of the station.

In addition, if the passer-by does not use the non-contact IC card to cover the antenna portion 11a (n16: NO), and does not cross the center of the passage and directly retreats from the entrance side (n22: YES), prepare for the next passer-by passing through the passage. , execute the above restoration steps (step n11, step n12).

If it is judged that the balance of the card itself is insufficient or it is outside the use area, it is not suitable to pass (n5: NO), or the card processing is not completed normally due to the communication with the non-contact IC card. Next (n7: NO), the CPU 21 instructs the door control circuit 24 to close the door 14 on the exit side.

In this way, the door 14 is closed (n18), preventing the passage of such passers-by.

In addition, in the above description, for the travel indicator 18b or the antenna unit 12a on the opposite side (outbound side) of the automatic ticket gate adjacent to the left, when the CPU 21 provides an instruction, through the upper communication circuit 23, on the left and right sides of the aisle. Commands are sent and received between CPU21 of the automatic ticket cutting machine. As other methods, it is also possible to consider not passing through the adjacent CPU21, the CPU21 of the automatic ticket cutting machine on the right side directly controls the travel indicator control circuit 27 and the non-contact IC card R/W control circuit 24 of the automatic ticket cutting machine on the left side , A method of operating a travel indicator and an antenna unit. Furthermore, regarding other I/O such as a door, a sensor for human detection, and a sensor for entry detection, two methods are also conceivable. In this way, in the left and right automatic ticket gates constituting the aisle, how to control the adjacent ticket gate I/O differs depending on the method of software.

Also have, be positioned at the antenna portion (entry station side) 11a of passerby right side for above-mentioned passage, focus on the action (n1) of cover non-contact IC card, passer-by, can not be by above-mentioned sensor mounting part 10 (especially supporting part 10a) ) hinders. This is because the sensor mounting member 10 is mounted from the corner on the side opposite to the passage of pedestrians among the corners on the entrance side of the upper surface of the casing.

On the other hand, for the installation position of the installation part 10 of the casing whose passage is located on the left side of the passerby, among the corners on the entry side of the upper surface of the casing, the corner portion on the side where the passerby passes through the support portion 10a installation.

Like this, when the passer-by covers the non-contact IC card, each antenna portion (entry side) 11a, 11a is positioned at the left and right sides of the passage, and due to the antenna portion on the left side, the passage on the left cannot be misidentified. The antenna part 11a on the inbound side is used, so neither the left nor the right can get lost. Like this, by the installation form of the sensor mounting part 17 of left and right sides, the passer-by naturally easily uses the antenna portion (entry station side) 11a on the right side of the non-contact IC card cover, so can pass through the passage smoothly.

Especially, when encountering a left-handed person, it is possible to physically prevent the non-contact IC card from completely covering the antenna portion (entry side) 11a of the automatic ticket gate machine 19 on the left side. The above-mentioned sensor mounting member 10 functions as a guide lever for smooth entry or exit processing of passers-by.

Also, during passage through the passage, the human detection sensors 15 and 16 irradiate and receive light perpendicular to the passage between the rods of the mounting member 10 and between adjacent rods, ensuring reliable performance as in the past.

And, as shown in Fig. 5 (b), only one side of the longitudinal direction of the casing is equipped with the same 3 passages (except the extraordinary passage) as the above-mentioned entrance and exit gate using the automatic ticket cutting machine 45 with the processing part, according to If the entrance can be formed from the entrance side or the exit side through the same passage, a total of 6 automatic ticket cutting machines 45 are required.

In addition, comparing the installation space, in the conventional automatic ticket gate 45, since passers-by can enter and leave the station, two sets are arranged opposite to each other in the width direction (2L1=L1×2). In contrast, the above-mentioned two-way type automatic ticket gate 19 is provided by one (L1), and the width can be reduced by half.

That is, as a whole entrance and exit, the entrance and exit of Figure 5(a) is compared with the entrance and exit of Figure 5(b), reducing the installation space (2L1) of two sets of multi-width, while ensuring three passages, Reduce the number of automatic ticket cutting machines 45 to suppress costs.

That is, if adopt the above-mentioned structure like Fig. 5 (a), reduce installation space, ensure detectability, can constitute the automatic ticket gate 19 that can not obstruct the entrance processing of passer-by or the exit processing.

(Example 2)

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, when the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 is not the above-mentioned non-contact type, but a carrying type automatic ticket cutting machine 59, it is formed according to the following arrangement: it has an input port 51a for inserting a ticket, 52a and 2 ticket carrying parts for taking out the outlets 51b, 52b for taking out the ticket after loading are disposed opposite to the above-mentioned outlets 51b, 52b on the entrance side and the exit side of the upper surface of the housing.

Others are appearance components such as travel indicators 57, 58, doors 53, 54, human detection sensors 55, 56, and entry detection sensors 31, 32, or sensor mounting parts 50 installed in the carrier-type automatic ticket gate 59. It is also formed in the same shape as that used in the non-contact automatic ticket gate 19, and is attached to a position corresponding to the position where the non-contact automatic ticket gate 19 is mounted.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8 , the circuit configuration of the carrier-type automatic ticket gate 59 and the circuit constitution described above for the non-contact automatic ticket gate 19 will be mainly explained as being different from each other.

In the case of the carrying type, in the inbound side and the outbound side in the case of the non-contact type, instead of forming the non-contact IC card R/W 11, 12 and the non-contact IC card R/W control circuit 24, Instead, the ticket carrying parts 51 and 52 and the ticket carrying part control circuit 64 corresponding to these are configured.

That is, after the ticket is put in from the input port 51a, 52a, the ticket loading section controls the circuit 64 while it is being loaded by the ticket loading section 51, 52. Processing such as stopping the data for carrying (not shown), punching the ticket in accordance with the data transmitted from the CPU 61, or printing predetermined characters, etc. is performed. In addition, the ticket carrying part control circuit 64 passes the ticket carrying part 51, 52, and carries the ticket to the discharge ports 51b, 52b.

The processing of the automatic ticket cutting machine in the case where the passerby passes through the above-mentioned entrance and exit gate by the automatic ticket cutting machine 59 of the carrying type from the entering station side is the same as the above-mentioned non-contact type, and the method shown in Fig. 6 can be adopted. The flow chart is explained.

In the description in the case of the above-mentioned non-contact type, instead of covering the antenna portion 11a with the non-contact IC card, it is the operation of inserting the ticket into the input port 51a, and instead of the prohibition process of the antenna portion 12a, it is the closing process of the input port. What replaces the permission processing of the antenna unit is the opening processing of the reading replacement inlet.

Hereinafter, other embodiments of non-contact automatic ticket gates 79 , 89 , 99 , 109 equipped with sensor mounting members 70 , 80 , 90 , 100 different from those described above will be shown, and have configurations having the same functions as those of the previous embodiment. Elements are assigned the same symbols and explanations thereof are omitted.

(Example 3)

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an automatic ticket gate 79 according to still another embodiment. The sensor mounting part 70 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing at the central part of the rod in the horizontal direction, located in the center of the width direction, and is inclined from the longitudinal direction of the housing in both ends, and passes through the supporting part 70a to be aligned with the processing side. It is formed in the form of connecting corresponding corners on opposite sides of the channel. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, since the central part of the sensor mounting member 10 is parallel to the traveling direction, the embodiment of FIG. 2 is a shape combined with the embodiment of FIG. 14 described later.

If install the sensor mounting part 70 that adopts above-mentioned structure, the passer-by, when cover non-contact IC card, is positioned at the antenna part 11a, 11a of left and right sides for passage, passes the mounting part 70 of the antenna part 11a of the right side (especially The support portion 70a), will not be physically obstructed. Therefore, the passer-by can cover the antenna portion 11a on the right side with the non-contact IC card without getting lost. In addition, the automatic ticket gate 79 can ensure the detection precision as in the past by the human detection sensor 15 formed on the sensor mounting member 70 attached to the central part of the casing.

(Example 4)

10 and 11 are perspective views, front views, plan views, and side views showing the appearance of an automatic ticket gate 89 according to another embodiment.

The above-mentioned automatic ticket cutting machine 89, in order to make the above-mentioned sensor mounting part 80, each corner of the upper surface of the housing corresponding to the opposite side of the respective processing side channels of the above-mentioned 2 receiving and processing parts at one end of the two horizontal rods When the parts are respectively installed in the longitudinal direction of the housing, the other end of the rod in the horizontal direction of the installation is connected to the width direction of the housing in the form that the above-mentioned receiving and processing parts are separated when the above-mentioned housing is viewed from above. form.

In addition, the above-mentioned sensor mounting member 80 is mounted on the corner opposite to the processing-side passage at the corners on both sides of the entrance and exit of the casing through the support portion 80a supporting the sensor mounting member 80 itself at both ends.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 10, FIG. 11, each bar of each aisle side along the both sides of an automatic ticket gate is joined in the shape bent in the center of the automatic ticket gate 89.

With the sensor mounting member 80 configured as described above, it is impossible to cover above the antenna portions 11a and 12a at all. And, even if the passer-by passes through in any direction of the direction of entering the station or the direction of exiting the station, the sensor installation part 80 of the automatic ticket gate machine 89 located on the right side for the channel is positioned at the antenna part (entry station side) 11a, or the opposite side (reverse side) of the antenna part (outbound side) 12a, the sensor mounting part 80 of the adjacent automatic ticket gate 89 located on the left side of the passage, in the form of being located on the passing passage side (near side) Install.

Like this, when the passer-by covers the non-contact IC card, it can be judged at a glance that as long as the antenna section 11a on the right side needs to be covered among the antenna sections 11a, 11a on the left and right sides of the passage. The movement of the antenna portion 11a on the right side of the non-contact IC card cover is not completely physically blocked by the sensor mounting member 80 (especially the support portion 80a), so passers-by can pass through the passage smoothly.

(Example 5)

Next, regarding the non-contact automatic ticket gate 89 to which the above-mentioned curved sensor mounting member 80 is mounted, as shown in FIG. An embodiment of the formed automatic ticket gate 99 will be described. The sensor mounting member 90 has the same shape as the sensor mounting member 80 of the sensor mounting member 89 .

However, in the case of the above configuration, the human detection sensors 15 and 16 are formed on both sides of the rod shape of the sensor mounting member 90 , that is, near the inlet of the passage. Disposing antenna parts 11a, 12a and people detection sensors 15, 16 in this way is used to determine the ride medium (for adults/for small people) or reduce the amount (for adults) in the case of discriminating the ride fare based on the aforementioned height. /Villain public prepaid card) needs to be tested before processing.

In addition, for discriminating adults and children at the entrance and exit, and charging children's fares for children, the doors 13 and 14 are usually in an open state, and the antenna parts 11a and 12a are usually in a stopped state. The configuration of each circuit is the same as that of the automatic ticket gate machine 19 described in FIG. 4 , so the description thereof will be omitted. Moreover, in the present embodiment, focusing on the passage processing of passers-by who pass through the passage from the entry side to the exit side, the moving state of each control circuit is explained using the flow chart shown in FIG. Or omit the description.

First, once a passerby enters the passage A2, in the automatic ticket gate 99, the entry detection sensor 31 detects the entry of the passerby to the passage A2 (n1: YES). The detected signal is sent to the CPU 21 via the entry detection sensor control circuit 33 .

Also, the CPU 21 transmits the information to the CPU 21 in the automatic ticket cutting machine 99 next to the passer-by through the host communication circuit 23. Then the CPU21 of the automatic ticket cutting machine 99 on the left provides instructions to the travel indicator control circuit 27, and the travel indicator 18b positioned at the opposite side (outbound side) switches to "×" symbol (n2).

In this way, access from opposite side passages can be prevented.

Also, the CPU 21 rotates the antenna section 11a on the inbound side via the non-contact IC card R/W control circuit 24 (n3).

Then, when a passer-by usually enters the position in the approximate center of the passage, the antenna portion (entry side) 11a on the upper surface of the casing in the automatic ticket gate 99 on the above-mentioned right side is covered for the entry process. Non-contact IC card (n4).

When the non-contact IC card is correctly covered (n4: YES), the card data is read (n5), and the passability judgment is performed based on the card data (n6).

In addition, when the passer-by is detected by the sensor 31 for entry detection (n1: YES), until the antenna portion 11a is covered with a non-contact IC card (n4), if the passer-by is an adult (above a predetermined height), pass After detection by the human detection sensor 15 (for entering a station), the detection result is stored in the memory 22 by an instruction from the CPU 21 . (picture omitted)

If the determination of whether to pass is OK in step n6 (n6: YES), the CPU 21 checks whether the result is detected by the sensor 15 for human detection or stored in the memory 22 .

Here, if the CPU 21 confirms the above-mentioned detection result (n7: YES), it is judged as an adult, and based on the adult fare data recorded in the memory 22, the prescribed amount of money corresponding to the adult is deducted to carry out card processing (for adults). (n8).

On the contrary, in CPU21, under the situation of not confirming above-mentioned detection result (n7: NO), it is judged to be children, then with the children's fare data that records in memory 22 as the basis, deduct the amount of money corresponding to children and carry out card processing (children use) (n9).

From the above, if the above-mentioned card processing ends normally (n10: YES), it becomes the state which stopped the antenna part 11a again (n11). And since the door 14 maintains the open state (n12), a passer-by can pass through the passage (n13: YES).

And, if the passer-by passes without covering the antenna portion 11a with the above-mentioned non-contact IC card (n4: NO), the CPU 21 issues an instruction to close the door 14 due to a timeout (n16: YES) (n17). In addition, when it is determined that the balance of the card itself is insufficient or it is outside the use area, it is not suitable for passing (n6: NO), or when the card processing has not been completed normally due to communication with the non-contact IC card (n10: NO) ), the CPU 21 provides an instruction to close the door 14 on the exit side to the door control circuit 24 (n17).

And about the program (n13～n15) until the standby state of the automatic ticket cutting machine 99 is resumed after the passerby passes through the passageway, similar to (n9～n11) among Fig. 6, the recovery carried out after the passerby is pushed out from the passageway is The procedure (n18-n20) of the standby state of the automatic ticket gate machine 99 is the same as (n19-n21) in FIG. 6, and description is abbreviate|omitted.

If adopt above-mentioned automatic ticket cutting machine 99, if the passer-by is an adult, because the sensor 15 detects in advance by the person detection, before inserting the card when passing, carry out judgment process according to adult or child.

That is, when the non-contact IC card covers the action of the antenna portion 11a after the judging process, since the specified amount of money corresponding to adults or children can be deducted, it is not necessary for the passer-by to realize that the adult is still a child and buy a ticket, saving money. time for passers-by.

(Example 6)

As shown in FIG. 14 , the mounting member 100 in the automatic ticket cutting machine 109 in this embodiment forms a horizontal rod, and then forms support portions 100 a at both ends of the rod. Also, the rod of the mounting member 100 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing, and is installed between the antenna parts 11a, 12a on the inbound side and outbound side at the middle position on the upper surface of the housing.

Furthermore, the antenna portion (incoming side) 11a and (outgoing side) 12a on the upper surface of the housing are formed in such a manner that the center of the width direction of the housing is slightly reduced in each processing side passage.

If adopt above-mentioned structure, passer-by enters passageway, in the action of covering antenna portion (entry station side) 11a with non-contact IC card, automatic ticket cutting machine 109,109 (especially, antenna portion 11a, 11a) is positioned at the left and right sides of passageway. .

However, as mentioned above, the antenna part 11a located on the right side is formed in a staggered manner in the side of the passageway through which the passer-by passes, and the antenna part 11a located on the left side is on the opposite side of the passageway side which is staggered through the passerby, that is, on the left side. Formed near the adjacent channel.

Therefore, since it is relatively easy for a passerby to cover the non-contact IC card on the right side of the antenna part 11a, the right side antenna part is used. In addition, in the sensor mounting member 100, the support portion 100a is positioned further back than the direction in which the antenna portion 11a proceeds, so that a passer-by does not hinder the movement of the antenna portion 11a at all. Furthermore, since the sensor mounting member 100 itself can be made compact, the smoothness of the entrance and exit can be kept well.

The automatic ticket gates 79, 89, 99, and 109 described in the above-mentioned other embodiments will be described using a fully non-contact automatic ticket gate as an example. The above-mentioned sensor mounting parts 70, 80, 90, and 100 are not limited to The non-contact automatic ticket cutting machine may also be a carrying type, and the automatic ticket cutting machine with two processing parts on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the casing is installed on the upper surface of the casing.

For example, the mounting member 10 of the non-contact automatic ticket gate 19 shown in FIG. 2 is mounted as the mounting member 50 in the carrier type automatic ticket gate 59 of FIG. 7 . When any one of the above-mentioned sensor installation components 10, 70, 80, 90, and 100 is installed on the upper surface of the housing of the transport-type automatic ticket cutting machine, even if the discharge ports 51b and 52b on both sides of the station are located on the housing The central side of the surface is above the outlets 51b, 52b, and since the sensor mounting parts 10, 70, 80, 90, 100 do not need to be completely covered, passers-by can smoothly process the entry or exit of the ticket. .

(Example 7)

In the automatic ticket cutting machine of above-mentioned each embodiment, for example, have the channel setting switch 28,68 shown in Fig. 4 (non-contact type) and Fig. 8 (carrying type), after setting like this, can switch to allow passage. Set by direction. Like this, as illustrated in Figure 5, any of the three types of inbound passages, outbound passages, and inbound and outbound passages (two-way passages, dual-purpose passages) can be set. The travel indicator 17, 18 (57, 58) is controlled by channel setting, and corresponds to the antenna part 11a, 12a of the processing part (in the carrier type, input port 51a, 52a).

Here, the above-mentioned three types of settings and the operation of the automatic ticket gate constituting various lanes will be described.

First, regarding the entrance passage, for example, in FIG. 5( a ), the passage farthest from the station staff room is set as the entrance passage in the direction of the arrow A1. The passage for entering the station is only permitted in the direction of the symbol A1 because passers-by (people entering the station) enter from the outside of the station to the platform side. In this case, the travel indicator 17a (entry side) of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the right side of the person (entry side) indicates "◯". The travel indicator 18a (outbound side) on the opposite side of the automatic ticket gate 49 on the left side usually indicates "X".

And the antenna portion 11a (entry side) of the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 on the right side of the passer-by (entry person) is in the state that can send and receive signals by effectively, and the antenna 12a (outbound side) on the opposite side of the automatic ticket cutting machine 49 on the left side side), it is usually invalid, that is, the state of sending and receiving signals is prohibited.

In this way, when the travel indicator 18a on the opposite side shows "X", the signal transmission and reception prohibition state of the antenna unit 12a can prevent passersby entering from the opposite side (people exiting the station).

In addition, in the channel dedicated to entering the station, the door 14 on the opposite side (exiting side) of the side to be entered is usually closed. Entry from the opposite side (outbound side).

Next, regarding the exit passage, for example, in FIG. 5( a ), the passage near the station personnel room (the passage next to the special passage) is set as the exit passage in the direction of the arrow B1. In order for passers-by (people leaving the station) to advance from the platform side (exit side) to the station exterior side (entry side), the above-mentioned exit passage is only allowed to advance in the direction of the symbol B1. In this case, the travel indicator 18c (on the exit side) of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the right side of the passer-by (exiter) indicates "◯". The travel indicator 17c (entry side) on the opposite side of the automatic ticket gate 49 on the left usually indicates "X".

And the antenna portion 12a (outbound side) of the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 on the right side of the passer-by (exiter) is effective, that is, the state of sending and receiving signals, and the antenna portion 11a ( Inbound side), usually in the invalid state, that is, prohibiting sending and receiving signals.

In this way, after the travel indicator 17c on the opposite side indicates "X", the entry of passers-by (those who want to enter the station) from the opposite side can be avoided according to the signal transmission and reception prohibition state of the antenna portion 11a.

In addition, in the channel that is set as this exit, the door 13 on the opposite side (entry side) is usually closed on the side that wants to enter, and is opened when the passer-by allows passage, which can further prevent people from entering the opposite side (entry side). station side) entry.

Finally, with regard to the dual-purpose channel for entering and exiting, for example, in Figure 5(a), the channel located in the center of the entering and exiting entrance is set as a dual-purpose channel for entering and exiting the direction of arrow symbols A2 and B2. The aforesaid inbound and outbound channels allow entry in either direction of the arrow symbol A2 or the direction of the arrow symbol B2.

Specifically, from the point of view of passers-by, looking at the indication state of the above-mentioned travel indicators 17, 18, the travel indicator 17b (entry side) of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the right side of the passer-by (entrant) in the A2 direction Indicated as "○". The advance indicator 18b (outbound side) on the opposite side of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the left side is also indicated as "○", so as a passer-by (exiter) in the B2 direction, the progress of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the right side The indicator 18b (outbound side) indicates "◯".

And the antenna part 11a (the person entering the station) of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the right side of the passer-by (the person entering the station) in the A2 direction is valid, that is, the signal can be transmitted and received. The antenna portion 12a (outbound side) on the opposite side of the automatic ticket gate 19 on the left side is also effective, that is, the state of sending and receiving signals. This pair of passers-by (exiters) in the B2 direction is the automatic gate gate 19 on the right side The antenna section 12a (outbound side) is active.

In this way, the travel indicators 17b, 18b on the right side of both sides indicate "O", and a two-way passage is formed according to the signal-transmitting state of the antenna parts 11a, 12a.

Set as the automatic ticket cutting machine 19 of the passageway that exits the station, in this state, wait for the passer-by from two directions.

Assume that a passer-by enters the passage from either the entry side or the exit side (for example, the A2 direction on the entry side) of such an entry-exit dual-use passage. In this case, when the passer-by uses the non-contact IC card to cover the antenna portion (for example 11a), the automatic ticket gate 19 automatically turns to the progress indicator (for example 18b) on the opposite side in the automatic gate gate 19 on the left side of the passage. Switch to "×" symbol. In addition, the antenna part 12a corresponding to the switched travel indicator 18 is disabled, that is, the state of transmitting and receiving signals is prohibited, so that passers-by can be prevented from entering the passage from the opposite side.

In addition, in the channel that is set as the entrance and exit, the doors on both sides of the door 13 on the entry side and the door 14 (see FIG. 1 ) on the exit side are usually opened, and when the entry person is not allowed to pass The door 14 of the exit side is closed, and the door 13 of the entry side is closed under the situation that the exit person does not allow passage.

Of course, it is also possible to provide the configuration of the above-mentioned non-contact automatic ticket cutting machine 19 in the transport type automatic ticket cutting machine 59 . In the case of the carrying type, instead of the control of the non-contact antenna parts 11a, 12a, the switch control of the gates of the input ports 51a, 52a can be used to physically prevent the vehicle from being dropped into the input ports 51a, 52a on the opposite side. ticket.

As described above, according to the channel setting switches 28 and 68, the setting of the passing direction of each channel can be switched arbitrarily. For example, the above-mentioned central aisle set as both inbound and outbound can be switched to the inbound and outbound lane in the direction of A2.

That is, the form of the sensor mounting parts 10, 50, 70, 80, 90, 100 as the feature of the present invention is also suitable for setting switches 28, 68 according to the channel outside the automatic ticket cutting machine of the two-way universal channel (passage for both in and out). The switching mechanism such as etc. is set as the automatic ticket cutting machine that one-way special (inbound special or outbound special) rotates.

In addition, in Figure 5, according to the settings, all three channels can be used as inbound and outbound channels.

In addition, the channel setting switches 28 and 68 may be hardware switches, or may be switched after inputting setting parameters. Furthermore, the automatic ticket gate itself may be provided, or the setting operation may be started from a host device such as a gate monitor (not shown) connected to the host of the automatic ticket gate.

The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and many embodiments are possible.
