Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a ticket dispensing device for reliably dispensing tickets such as admission tickets, banknotes, and securities one by one.

Tickets such as admission tickets and banknotes are very thin, so please buy a large number of them in advance.
It is very difficult to reliably take out bills one by one from a vehicle, and for this reason, when it comes to items that require reliability, such as banknotes, the device for taking out banknotes tends to be complicated. Ta. In order to avoid this, it may be possible to measure the amount of transmitted light at a specific point on the removed note to determine whether it is a single note. Since the degree of contamination varies depending on the state of use, reliable detection is extremely difficult, and attempting to achieve this requires a complex circuit. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple feeding device that can reliably feed out tickets one by one.

The present invention provides a ticket storage chamber, a ticket retrieval means for taking out the ticket from the storage chamber, and a transfer means in which the circumferential speed of the portion in contact with the ticket is different from each other. a determining means for determining the ticket during or after being transported by the shifting means; and a determining means for guiding the ticket to a regular guide passage when the determining means determines that the ticket is "normal";
a sorting means for not guiding the ticket to the guide passage when it is determined that the ticket is abnormal; After shifting, it is determined whether or not there is only one ticket, and only when there is only one ticket, the system guides the user to the official guide path.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage chamber that stores tickets of a specific length in a stacked manner. A ticket outlet 3 is formed at one end of the bottom surface of the storage chamber 1,
Further, a slit-shaped cutout 5 is formed on the bottom surface of the storage chamber 1, and an eccentric-shaped cam 2 is provided in the cutout 5. By rotating the cam 2 in an eccentric D shape, the long diameter portion of the cam 2 is intermittently exposed inside the storage chamber 1, which causes frictional contact with the lowest counterfeit tickets in the storage chamber 1 and 1. Tickets are ejected from a ticket outlet 3 formed at one end of the bottom surface. A transfer path 4 is provided opposite the ticket outlet 3 of the storage chamber 1.

Near the rear end of the transfer path 4, there is provided a roller 6 that rotates in the opposite direction to the transfer direction of the notes and prevents the transfer of multiple notes. As a result, even if a plurality of tickets are stacked, which are discharged from the ticket outlet 3 by the rotation of the cam 2 provided at the bottom of the storage chamber 1, the top ticket is sent back to the storage chamber 1 by the reverse rotation of the roller 6. Only the ticket on the bottom side is sent forward. 10a, 10b, 10c
is a device for shifting multiple stacked tickets provided in the middle of the transfer path 4.

Although three shifting devices 10a-10c are used in this embodiment, the number is not particularly limited.

To explain the configuration of each device for the device 10a, there are two pairs of devices that are arranged above and below the transfer path 4 and rotate in a direction that feeds out the number of tickets forward in contact with the top and bottom surfaces of the tickets to be sent out. It consists of rollers 7 and 8. These rollers 7,
8 rotate at different circumferential speeds. Since the upper roller 7 and the lower roller 8 have different diameters as in the illustrated embodiment, they may be rotated at the same rotation speed. Of course, the diameters of the upper and lower rollers 7 and 8 may be the same, and in this case, the number of rotations may be changed. As a result, even if the multiple ticket feeding prevention roller 6 fails to prevent multiple tickets from being sent out multiple times, the above-mentioned shifting devices 10a-10c
It is possible to shift the plurality of tickets by a length corresponding to the difference in circumferential speed between the loaves 7 and 8. By installing a plurality of shifting devices, it is possible to reliably shift a plurality of tickets, and the amount of shifting can be increased. Detectors 11 and 12 have a function of detecting the presence of bills being sent through the transfer path 4.

These detectors 11 and 12 are provided at appropriate positions on the transfer path 4 with an interval slightly larger than the unit length of the bills to be processed. For this reason, when the tip of the ticket is detected by the detector 11, if no ticket is detected by the detector 12, it is determined that one ticket is normal; on the other hand, if the tip of the ticket is detected, two tickets are determined to be normal. If more than one sheet overlaps, it is determined to be abnormal.
Reference numeral 13 denotes a sorting piece that sorts the tickets sent from the transfer path 4 into the upper and lower passages, and is designed to be able to swing around a shaft 14, normally and when it is determined to be normal by the detectors 11 and 12. The ticket, which is pulled by the spring 15 and sent from the transfer path 4, is guided to the regular guide path 16.
It is like that.

On the other hand, when the detectors 11 and 12 determine that there is an abnormality, the magnet 17 pulls the ticket against the spring 15 and sends the ticket from the transfer path 4 to the collection box 18 without sending it to the guide path 16. Collection path 24 to collect tickets
Guide to〈. Reference numeral 19 denotes a transfer roller that sends the ticket sent from the transfer path 4 further forward.

Reference numeral 20 is a lorilla that sends the ticket sent to the guide passage 16 to the ticket receiving slot 21.

22 is a ticket detector located in the guide path 16, and when a ticket is detected by this detector 22, the roller 20 is driven.

23 is a ticket detector located in the collection path 24.

If a ticket is detected by the detectors 11 and 12 while the ticket is detected by the detector 22 or 23, there is an abnormality in the transportation state of the ticket, and an alarm is issued. With this configuration, the ticket sent from the storage chamber 1 is rubbed by the shifting device 10a, and then the detectors 11 and 12 determine whether it is a single ticket or not, thereby easily and reliably handling the ticket. - Sheet feed will be determined.

Of course, the determination of the ticket is not limited to the size determination as described above, but may also be determined by determining the amount of transmitted light and the state of magnetic distribution at a specific location. In addition, the shifting device 10a, the detector 1 1, 12,
By forming the sorting pieces 13 into groups and arranging a plurality of these groups in parallel, it is possible to feed each ticket more reliably.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, tickets can be reliably sent out one by one with a simple device.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The drawing shows one embodiment of the ticket dispensing device according to the present invention, and is a schematic side view.

In the figure, 1: storage room, 10a: shifting device, 11, 12:

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In order to take out the bills of a specific length stored in a stack in the storage chamber from the ticket delivery port to the transfer path, a cam that rotates eccentrically in the direction of sending the tickets is connected to the ticket delivery port in the lower part of the storage chamber. A pair of rollers are provided adjacent to the storage chamber and rotate in the direction to return the bills, and a pair of rollers rotating in the direction to send the bills at different circumferential speeds are installed above and below the transfer path. At the same time, a detector is installed at opposing positions to constitute one or more shifting devices, and a detector is installed in the middle of the transfer path at a distance slightly larger than the length of the ticket to detect the presence of the ticket. When two or more bills are sent along the transfer path, by shifting the bills back and forth with the shifting device, the length of the bills passing between the two detectors can be adjusted by shifting the bills back and forth using the shifting device. It is activated, and this determines that there is an abnormality.Furthermore, the tip of the transfer path is branched to form a guide path that becomes a regular path and a collection path that leads to the collection box, and tickets are sorted at the branch point of the guide path and collection path. 1. A device for dispensing bills, characterized in that a piece is provided, and the sorting piece is driven so that the transfer path and the collection path communicate with each other when an abnormality is determined by both detectors.
