2. Description of the Related Art In an automatic ticket gate installed at a railway line station, as shown in FIG. 11, cards such as a ticket, an admission ticket or a prepaid card are transported inside a ticket gate itself. A card handler for performing a series of collection ticket processing such as alignment, reading / writing of magnetic recording information, and punching (drilling) is stored. The card handler is mounted on a card handler elevating device (not shown) so as to be able to ascend and descend. When the card handler is maintained, it is lifted up and transferred onto a side plate of an opening / closing cover described later.

As shown in FIG. 11, a metal opening / closing cover serving as a work table during maintenance of the card handler is formed to have a substantially Γ-shaped cross section that covers the card handler, and is formed to be longer than the card handler. It has a locking device in the center of the upper plate in the longitudinal direction, and is attached to the ticket gate body so that it can be pulled down to the ticket gate passage side by hinges arranged at both ends of the lower end of the side plate on the ticket gate passage side. . The hinge of the opening / closing cover has a lower end of a connecting member fixed to the back surface of the side plate rotatably connected to a lower end of a bracket of a ticket gate body via a support shaft, and a lower end of a link at an upper end of the connecting member. And the upper end of the link is slidably attached to the vertically long hole formed in the upper part of the connecting member by a shaft, and the opening / closing cover is placed on the ticket gate passage side until the side plate becomes substantially perpendicular to the ticket gate body. It can be pulled down. In order to safely perform the opening operation of pulling the opening / closing cover to the ticket gate passage side, the sliding shaft is provided between the fixed shaft at the lower end of the link and the sliding shaft at the upper end of the link. A biasing compression coil spring is disposed, and the opening / closing cover is pulled down to the ticket gate passage side against the biasing force of the compression coil spring. Further, the locking device for the opening / closing cover has a latch rod inside the case which can be engaged / removed with a locking member fixed to the ticket gate body, and pushes the operation rod toward the ticket gate passage side to lock the latch rod. By detaching from the member, the lock between the opening / closing cover and the ticket gate main body can be released.

However, in the above-mentioned cover, a compression coil spring for urging the sliding shaft upward is disposed between the fixed shaft of the link constituting the hinge and the sliding shaft.
When the open / close cover is pushed down to the ticket gate main body to close it, the compression coil spring pushes up the sliding axis of the link and tries to rotate the open / close cover rapidly toward the ticket gate main body. The opening and closing cover had to be closed with care not to pinch a finger between the end of the ticket gate and the ticket gate body. In addition, the opening / closing cover merely connects the lower end of the side plate to the ticket gate main body by a pair of hinges so that it can be opened and closed.When the card handler is placed on the back of the side plate, the lower end of the side plate is There is also a problem in strength that the hinge is bent downward by the load of the card handler between the pivots of the hinge. On the other hand, the locking device has a simple structure in which the latch rod is disengaged from the locking member of the ticket gate main body only by pushing the operating rod in one direction, that is, simply by pushing the gate toward the ticket gate passageway. In some cases, the operating rod is pushed toward the ticket gate passage side to release the lock between the opening / closing cover and the ticket gate body.

[0020]

As described above, in the opening / closing cover according to the present invention, the side plate of the opening / closing cover forms an acute angle with the main body of the ticket gate machine on the extension of the pivots of both hinges which are the center of rotation of the opening / closing cover. Since the torsion bar for canceling the load of the opening / closing cover in the opening direction and the closing direction in the opposite directions so as to stop the operation, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing cover can be performed easily and safely. The torsion bar has one end fixed to the ticket gate main body via a locking member capable of freely changing the locking position, and the other end provided on the back surface of the opening / closing cover via a fastening member capable of freely changing the fixing position. Even if the weight of the opening / closing cover is changed by adding another member to the opening / closing cover because it is fixed, the locking position and the fixing position of the torsion bar can be adjusted as appropriate, so that the weight of the opening / closing cover can be easily changed. I can deal with it.

Further, since a reinforcing member for reinforcing the lower end is disposed between the support shafts of the hinges, which are pivotal centers of the opening and closing cover, on the back surface of the lower end of the side plate, the lower end of the side plate is subjected to the load of the card handler. This prevents deformation of the hinges from bending downward between the support shafts of the hinges, and furthermore, since a receiving member for placing the card handler is disposed on the back surface of the side plate, the lower end of the side plate is moved by the load of the card handler to prevent the hinges from being bent. Deformation that bends downward between the support shafts is prevented, and furthermore, a receiving table for mounting the card handler on the back surface of the same side plate is formed at substantially the same height as the reinforcing member, and the card handler is placed on the side plate. When the card handler is placed on the reinforcing member, the card handler is temporarily placed on the reinforcing member and pulled toward the ticket gate side, so that the card handler can be transferred and placed on the receiving stand, and the operation of transferring the card handler from the card handler elevating device to the side plate can be easily performed.

On the other hand, in the locking device, a locking member fixed to the ticket gate main body is engaged with and disengaged from the bottom of a box-shaped case fixed to the back surface of the upper plate of the opening / closing cover. The latch member is disposed so as to be able to move forward and backward with respect to the locking member, and a holding member is integrally mounted on the upper surface of the latch member so as to be able to move forward and backward together with the latch member, and is movable to the left and right directions on the holding member. A pressing member attached to the upper surface of the latch member for retreating the holding member so that the latch member can be released from the locking member on one of the right side and the left side is disposed on the upper surface of the latch member. When the lock between the opening / closing cover and the ticket gate body is released, the operating rod is moved in two directions, that is, the holding member is moved in one of the left and right directions to move the pressing member with respect to the holding member. Through The locking member must be moved from the locking member and operated in the direction in which the locking member is disengaged. The lock with the main body is not released. Further, a second spring is provided between the holding member and the pressing member to return the pressing member to a position movable in the left-right direction when the pressing member is moved to either the right side or the left side. The first spring that urges the locking member to engage with the locking member is arranged, so when the hand is released from the operating rod in a state where the lock between the opening / closing cover and the ticket gate body is released, the latch member becomes the locking member. Since the engaging member is engaged and the pressing member returns to the position where it can move in the left-right direction, the opening / closing cover can be automatically locked to the ticket gate main body.
