Description

本発明の実施形態は、自動改札機の筐体、及び、筐体を有する自動改札機に関する。 Embodiments of the present invention, the automatic ticket gate housing, and an automatic ticket gate having an enclosure.

電車の改札口には、電車の利用者の駅構内への入退場を管理する自動改札機が設置されている。自動改札機は、改札口において人が通る通路の側部に設置されており、その通路の延出方向の両端部には、乗車券の投入口または取出口が設けられている。また、自動改札機の通路方向の一端部には、ＩＣカードから構成された乗車券の情報を読み取る読み取り部が設けられている。自動改札機は、その筐体内に、乗車券の情報を読み取るセンサ等の電子機器や、投入口から投入された乗車券を取出口まで搬送する搬送路が設けられている。 At the ticket gate of the train, an automatic ticket gate is installed to manage the entrance and exit of train users into the station yard. The automatic ticket gates are installed at the side of a passage through which people pass at the ticket gate, and ticket inlets or outlets are provided at both ends of the passage in the extending direction. Further, at one end of the automatic ticket gate in the aisle direction, a reading unit for reading information on a ticket composed of an IC card is provided. The automatic ticket gate is provided with an electronic device such as a sensor that reads the ticket information and a transport path for transporting the ticket inserted from the slot to the exit.

この種の自動改札機の筐体は、筐体本体、及び、筐体本体に回動可能に支持され、筐体の上部を構成するトップカバーを有している。メンテナンスをする際には、トップカバーを回転することにより筐体の上部を開放し、作業者により搬送路や電子機器にアクセス可能となっている。 The housing of this type of automatic ticket gate has a housing body and a top cover that is rotatably supported by the housing body and constitutes the upper part of the housing. During maintenance, the top cover is rotated to open the upper part of the housing so that the operator can access the transport path and electronic devices.

また、筐体本体の上部が開放された状態において、トップカバーがメンテナンス作業を邪魔しないように、トップカバーを筐体本体の上端の開口縁よりも下方の位置まで回転可能とする技術が知られている。この技術として、トップカバーを２つの回動軸により筐体本体に支持し、トップカバーの回転位置に応じて回動軸を切り替える構造や、トップカバーの回動軸を、筐体本体の幅方向に通路側の一端より幅方向内側に設置する構造が知られている。 Further, a technique is known in which the top cover can be rotated to a position below the opening edge of the upper end of the housing body so that the top cover does not interfere with maintenance work when the upper part of the housing body is open. ing. As this technology, a structure in which the top cover is supported on the housing body by two rotation axes and the rotation axes are switched according to the rotation position of the top cover, and the rotation axis of the top cover is set in the width direction of the housing body. It is known that the structure is installed inside the width direction from one end on the passage side.

トップカバーを、２つの回動軸により筐体本体に支持する構造では、筐体の構造が複雑になる。また、トップカバーの回動軸を、筐体本体の幅方向に通路側の一端より幅方向内側に設置する構造では、トップカバーの回動の際に、トップカバーの前後の端壁部の通路側の一端部が、筐体本体の上端縁に干渉する虞がある。この為、トップカバーが、その回動の際に筐体本体に干渉することを防止する為に、トップカバーの端壁部の下端縁の幅方向通路側の端部を、水平方向に対して傾斜する形状に形成することが行われている。しかしながら、トップカバーの形状が複雑になる。さらに、筐体本体も、トップカバーの形状に合わせてその一部を傾斜する形状とする為、複雑な形状になる。一般に、筐体本体はステンレス等の金属材料から形成される場合が多く、筐体本体が複雑な形状となると、筐体本体の製造のコストが高くなる。 In the structure in which the top cover is supported on the housing body by two rotation shafts, the structure of the housing becomes complicated. Further, in the structure in which the rotation axis of the top cover is installed inside the width direction from one end on the passage side in the width direction of the housing body, when the top cover is rotated, the passages of the front and rear end wall portions of the top cover are installed. One end on the side may interfere with the upper edge of the housing body. Therefore, in order to prevent the top cover from interfering with the housing body during its rotation, the end portion of the lower end wall portion of the top cover on the width direction passage side is set with respect to the horizontal direction. It is formed into an inclined shape. However, the shape of the top cover becomes complicated. Further, the housing body also has a complicated shape because a part of the housing body is inclined according to the shape of the top cover. In general, the housing body is often formed of a metal material such as stainless steel, and when the housing body has a complicated shape, the manufacturing cost of the housing body increases.

The outer peripheral surface 53a of the second ridge portion 53 is formed on a curved surface that does not interfere with the housing body 40 when the top cover 50 is rotated between the closed position P1 and the fully open position P2.

図６は、第２の部材６０の下端部と、その近傍と、を示している。図６及び図４に示すように、第２の部材６０の下端部には、第２の端壁部５１と第２の稜部５３と第２の側壁部５２の一部とにより構成され、下方に開口する空間部Ｓが形成されている。すなわち、第２の部材６０の下端部には、第２の端壁部５１と第２の稜部５３と通路Ｒ側の第２の側壁部５２とにより、所謂くりぬかれたような空間が形成されている。 FIG. 6 shows the lower end portion of the second member 60 and its vicinity. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 4, the lower end portion of the second member 60 is composed of a second end wall portion 51, a second ridge portion 53, and a part of the second side wall portion 52. A space S that opens downward is formed. That is, at the lower end of the second member 60, a so-called hollow space is formed by the second end wall portion 51, the second ridge portion 53, and the second side wall portion 52 on the passage R side. Has been done.

本実施形態では、一例として、図４に示すように、空間部Ｓの上端を規定する上端壁部６１が形成されている。上端壁部６１は、第２の端壁部５１の内面と、第２の稜部５３の内面と、通路Ｒ側の第２の側壁部５２の前後方向Ｆの端部の内面と、に連結されている。 In the present embodiment, as an example, as shown in FIG. 4, an upper end wall portion 61 that defines the upper end of the space portion S is formed. The upper end wall portion 61 is connected to the inner surface of the second end wall portion 51, the inner surface of the second ridge portion 53, and the inner surface of the end portion of the second side wall portion 52 on the passage R side in the front-rear direction F. Has been done.

また、第２の部材６０では、第２の端壁部５１の内面と上端壁部６１との間と、第２の稜部５３の内面と上端壁部６１との間と、通路Ｒ側の第２の側壁部５２の前後方向Ｆの一端部の内面と上端壁部６１との間と、に複数のリブ６２が形成されている。複数のリブ６２のそれぞれは、トップカバー５０を閉位置Ｐ１と全開位置Ｐ２との間で回動する際に筐体本体４０に干渉しないように、平面視が三角形状に形成されており、トップカバー５０の内側に向かうにつれて高さが低くなる形状に形成されている。 Further, in the second member 60, between the inner surface of the second end wall portion 51 and the upper end wall portion 61, between the inner surface of the second ridge portion 53 and the upper end wall portion 61, and on the passage R side. A plurality of ribs 62 are formed between the inner surface of one end portion of the second side wall portion 52 in the front-rear direction F and the upper end wall portion 61. Each of the plurality of ribs 62 is formed in a triangular shape in a plan view so as not to interfere with the housing body 40 when the top cover 50 is rotated between the closed position P1 and the fully open position P2. It is formed in a shape in which the height decreases toward the inside of the cover 50.

図３及び図４に示すように、第２の端壁部５１の下端５１ｂと第２の稜部５３の下端５３ｂとは、トップカバー５０が閉位置Ｐ１にある状態において、平面に配置される形状に形成されている。本実施形態では、一例として、下端５１ｂ，５３ｂは、上下方向Ｖに直交する平面上に配置される形状に形成されている。換言すると、下端５１ｂ，５３ｂは、トップカバー５０が閉位置Ｐ１にある状態において、図２に示すように正面から見た形状が、直線状に形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower end 51b of the second end wall portion 51 and the lower end 53b of the second ridge portion 53 are arranged on a flat surface in a state where the top cover 50 is in the closed position P1. It is formed in a shape. In the present embodiment, as an example, the lower ends 51b and 53b are formed in a shape arranged on a plane orthogonal to the vertical direction V. In other words, the lower ends 51b and 53b are formed in a linear shape as seen from the front as shown in FIG. 2 in a state where the top cover 50 is in the closed position P1.

図４に示すように、トップカバー５０が閉位置Ｐ１にある状態において、第２の端壁部５１の下端５１ｂは、第１の端壁部４１の上端４１ｃとの間に隙間Ｈを有している。同様に、図７に示すように、トップカバー５０が閉位置Ｐ１にある状態において、第２の稜部５３の下端５３ｂは、第１の稜部４３の上端４３ｃとの間に隙間Ｈを有している。 As shown in FIG. 4, when the top cover 50 is in the closed position P1, the lower end 51b of the second end wall portion 51 has a gap H between it and the upper end 41c of the first end wall portion 41. ing. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 7, when the top cover 50 is in the closed position P1, the lower end 53b of the second ridge 53 has a gap H between it and the upper end 43c of the first ridge 43. is doing.

隙間Ｈは、法規による要請を満たす範囲に形成されている。隙間Ｈは、図４に示すように、上下方向Ｖに長さＬを有している。隙間Ｈの長さＬは、トップカバー５０を、閉位置Ｐ１と全開位置Ｐ２との間で回動する際に、トップカバー５０が筐体本体４０に干渉しない長さである。 The gap H is formed in a range that satisfies the requirements of the law. As shown in FIG. 4, the gap H has a length L in the vertical direction V. The length L of the gap H is such that the top cover 50 does not interfere with the housing body 40 when the top cover 50 is rotated between the closed position P1 and the fully open position P2.

次に、トップカバー５０の回動について説明する。トップカバー５０を、閉位置Ｐ１から全開位置Ｐ２へ回転する際、この回転に伴って、トップカバー５０の下端において回動中心線Ｃよりも幅方向Ｗに通路Ｒ側の部分は、下方に向かって移動する。 Next, the rotation of the top cover 50 will be described. When the top cover 50 is rotated from the closed position P1 to the fully open position P2, the portion on the passage R side at the lower end of the top cover 50 in the width direction W from the rotation center line C faces downward. And move.

しかしながら、通路Ｒ側の２つの第１の稜部４３の外周面４３ａの上端部が曲面に形成され、かつ、第２の部材６０の下端部に空間部Ｓが形成されることにより、図６に示すように、トップカバー５０の回転途中では、第１の稜部４３が空間部Ｓ内に入り込むことにより、トップカバー５０が筐体本体４０に干渉することがない。同様に、トップカバー５０を全開位置Ｐ２から閉位置Ｐ１に回転する際には、トップカバー５０が筐体本体４０に干渉するとこがない。 However, the upper end portion of the outer peripheral surface 43a of the two first ridge portions 43 on the passage R side is formed on a curved surface, and the space portion S is formed on the lower end portion of the second member 60, whereby FIG. As shown in the above, during the rotation of the top cover 50, the first ridge portion 43 enters the space portion S, so that the top cover 50 does not interfere with the housing body 40. Similarly, when the top cover 50 is rotated from the fully open position P2 to the closed position P1, the top cover 50 does not interfere with the housing body 40.

このように構成された自動改札機１０では、トップカバー５０の回動中心線Ｃを、筐体本体４０の幅方向Ｗに通路Ｒ側の一端よりも内側に設置することにより、図２に示すように、トップカバー５０の全開位置Ｐ２を、トップカバー５０が筐体本体４０の通路Ｒ側の第１の側壁部４２の上端よりも下方となる位置にすることができる。この為、収容物３０のメンテナンス時に、トップカバー５０がメンテナンス作業の邪魔とならないので、メンテナンス作業を容易に行うことができる。 In the automatic ticket gate 10 configured in this way, the rotation center line C of the top cover 50 is installed inside the one end on the passage R side in the width direction W of the housing body 40, as shown in FIG. As described above, the fully open position P2 of the top cover 50 can be set so that the top cover 50 is below the upper end of the first side wall portion 42 on the passage R side of the housing body 40. Therefore, during maintenance of the contained object 30, the top cover 50 does not interfere with the maintenance work, so that the maintenance work can be easily performed.

さらに、通路Ｒ側の２つの第１の稜部４３のそれぞれの外周面４３ａが曲面に形成され、かつ、第２の端壁部５１の下端５１ｂと第２の稜部５３の下端５３ｂとにより囲まれる空間部Ｓが形成されることにより、トップカバー５０を閉位置Ｐ１と全開位置Ｐ２との間で開閉する際に第１の稜部４３が空間部Ｓ内に入り込むので、トップカバー５０が筐体本体４０に干渉することがない。 Further, the outer peripheral surfaces 43a of each of the two first ridges 43 on the passage R side are formed on a curved surface, and the lower end 51b of the second end wall 51 and the lower end 53b of the second ridge 53 form a curved surface. By forming the enclosed space portion S, the first ridge portion 43 enters the space portion S when the top cover 50 is opened and closed between the closed position P1 and the fully open position P2, so that the top cover 50 can be moved. It does not interfere with the housing body 40.

この為、筐体本体４０の第１の端壁部４１の上端４１ｃと第１の稜部４３の上端４３ｃ、すなわち、第１の部材４６の上端４６ａを、図２に示すように、直線状に形成することができる。さらに、トップカバー５０の、第２の端壁部５１の下端５１ｂと第２の稜部５３の下端５３ｂとを、図２に示すように直線状に形成することができる。下端５１ｂ，５３ｂと上端４６ａとを直線状に形成することができることにより、筐体本体４０の形状とトップカバー５０の形状とを複雑な形状にすることがないので、筐体２０の製造コストが高騰化することを防止できる。 Therefore, the upper end 41c of the first end wall portion 41 of the housing body 40 and the upper end 43c of the first ridge portion 43, that is, the upper end 46a of the first member 46 are linear as shown in FIG. Can be formed into. Further, the lower end 51b of the second end wall portion 51 and the lower end 53b of the second ridge portion 53 of the top cover 50 can be formed linearly as shown in FIG. Since the lower ends 51b and 53b and the upper end 46a can be formed in a straight line, the shape of the housing body 40 and the shape of the top cover 50 do not become complicated, so that the manufacturing cost of the housing 20 is increased. It is possible to prevent the price from rising.

このように、本実施形態の自動改札機１０は、メンテナンス作業を容易にするとともに、製造のコストの高騰化を防止できる。さらに、トップカバー５０と筐体本体４０との境の部分を直線状にすることができることにより、筐体２０の見栄えを向上できる。 As described above, the automatic ticket gate 10 of the present embodiment can facilitate the maintenance work and prevent the manufacturing cost from rising. Further, the appearance of the housing 20 can be improved by making the boundary portion between the top cover 50 and the housing body 40 linear.

さらに、閉位置Ｐ１と全開位置Ｐ２との間でのトップカバー５０の回動の際にトップカバー５０と筐体本体４０とが干渉することを防止する手段として、通路Ｒ側の２つの第１の稜部４３の外周面４３ａを曲面に形成することと、空間部Ｓを設けることと、の２つの手段が用いられている。これら２つの手段を用いることにより、第１の稜部４３の外周面４３ａの曲率半径を大きくしなくても、トップカバー５０と筐体本体４０との干渉を防止できる。同様に、通路Ｒ側の２つの第２の稜部５３の外周面５３ａの曲率半径の大径化を防止できる。これらのことより、筐体２０内の容積を広くすることができるので、収容物３０のレイアウトの自由度が向上できる等、自動改札機１０の設計の自由度が向上できる。 Further, as a means for preventing the top cover 50 and the housing body 40 from interfering with each other when the top cover 50 rotates between the closed position P1 and the fully open position P2, the two firsts on the passage R side are used. Two means are used: forming the outer peripheral surface 43a of the ridge portion 43 on a curved surface and providing the space portion S. By using these two means, it is possible to prevent the top cover 50 and the housing body 40 from interfering with each other without increasing the radius of curvature of the outer peripheral surface 43a of the first ridge portion 43. Similarly, it is possible to prevent the radius of curvature of the outer peripheral surface 53a of the two second ridges 53 on the passage R side from being increased. As a result, since the volume inside the housing 20 can be increased, the degree of freedom in the design of the automatic ticket gate 10 can be improved, for example, the degree of freedom in the layout of the contained object 30 can be improved.

さらに、第１の端壁部４１の外面４１ａの上端部４１ｂと、第１の稜部４３の外周面４３ａの上端部４３ｂと、を筐体本体４０の内側に向かって屈曲する曲面に形成することにより、これら上端部４１ｂ，４３ｂを、トップカバー５０と筐体本体４０との干渉を防止することへ寄与させている。 Further, the upper end portion 41b of the outer surface 41a of the first end wall portion 41 and the upper end portion 43b of the outer peripheral surface 43a of the first ridge portion 43 are formed into a curved surface that bends toward the inside of the housing body 40. As a result, these upper end portions 41b and 43b contribute to preventing interference between the top cover 50 and the housing body 40.

この為、第１の稜部４３の外周面４３ａの曲率半径を大きくしなくても、トップカバー５０が筐体本体４０に干渉することを防止できる。第１の稜部４３の外周面４３ａの曲率半径を小さくできることにより、筐体２０内の容積を大きくできる。 Therefore, it is possible to prevent the top cover 50 from interfering with the housing body 40 without increasing the radius of curvature of the outer peripheral surface 43a of the first ridge portion 43. By reducing the radius of curvature of the outer peripheral surface 43a of the first ridge portion 43, the volume inside the housing 20 can be increased.

さらに、トップカバー５０の回動時の筐体本体４０との干渉を防止する為に、第１の稜部４３の外周面４３ａの少なくとも上端部４３ｂを曲面に形成し、かつ、第２の端壁部５１の下端部と第２の稜部５３の下端部とにより空間部Ｓを形成することにより、トップカバー５０が閉位置Ｐ１にある状態での第２の端壁部５１と第１の端壁部４１との間の隙間Ｈと、第２の稜部５３と第１の稜部４３との間の隙間Ｈと、を大きくすることがない。 Further, in order to prevent interference with the housing body 40 when the top cover 50 is rotated, at least the upper end portion 43b of the outer peripheral surface 43a of the first ridge portion 43 is formed into a curved surface, and the second end is formed. By forming the space portion S by the lower end portion of the wall portion 51 and the lower end portion of the second ridge portion 53, the second end wall portion 51 and the first end wall portion 51 in the state where the top cover 50 is in the closed position P1. The gap H between the end wall portion 41 and the gap H between the second ridge portion 53 and the first ridge portion 43 are not increased.

この為、通路Ｒを通る人の服が第２の稜部５３の下端部にひっかかる等することが防止される。さらに、隙間Ｈを小さくすることができるので、自動改札機１０の見栄えを向上できる。 Therefore, it is possible to prevent the clothes of a person passing through the passage R from being caught in the lower end of the second ridge 53. Further, since the gap H can be reduced, the appearance of the automatic ticket gate 10 can be improved.

なお、本実施形態では、筐体本体４０は、第１の部材４６を有しているが、これに限定されない。筐体本体４０は、他の例では、第１の部材４６を有していなくてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the housing body 40 has the first member 46, but the present invention is not limited to this. In another example, the housing body 40 does not have to have the first member 46.
