Antennas A1 and A2 for communicating with the non-contact ticket C are connected to the reader / writer. The antennas A1 and A2 have a function of exchanging data with the non-contact ticket C and a function of supplying power to the non-contact ticket C.

  Before describing the specific configuration of the transport mechanism L, which is a characteristic part of the present invention, the control operation when the ticket gate main body G having the above configuration enters is described.

  It is assumed that the user has arrived at the station and is going to enter the station via the ticket gate body G using the non-contact ticket C. When the non-contact ticket C is touched to the antenna A1 by the user, data is exchanged between the non-contact ticket C and the ticket gate main body G, and a calculation process for participation is performed in the controller 70. As a result of this arithmetic processing, if it is determined that the player can participate, the shutter 53 is opened and the non-contact ticket C can be inserted from the insertion port 52. At this time, insertion guidance of the non-contact ticket C to the insertion port 52 is performed via the speaker 57 and the display screen 58.

  When the non-contact ticket C is inserted into the insertion port 52, the inserted non-contact ticket C is transported into the ticket gate body G by the transport mechanism L and taken in. During this conveyance, card data is read via the antenna A2 by approaching the antenna A2. Then, the controller 70 again performs an arithmetic operation for participation based on the card data obtained through the antenna A2, and when the participation can be permitted, the door D1 is opened (the ticket gate body G1 is opened). Participation is permitted (as it is in the case of the normal open type), and the non-contact ticket C thrown into the slot 52 is stacked and collected on one of the card stackers S via the transport mechanism L and the switching transport path L1. Is done.

  When it is determined in the above-described calculation processing for participation that participation cannot be permitted, the door D1 is closed and payment guidance is performed via the speaker 57 and the display screen 58. Therefore, the user performs a checkout process using an automatic checkout machine (not shown) and participates. In addition, when a user who is not permitted to participate is generated, the notification lamp 59 is turned on to notify the staff. When it is determined that the ticket is not subject to the checkout process, the door D1 is closed and the clerk process is guided through the speaker 57 and the display screen 58. The door D1 is closed and the processing guidance using the non-contact ticket C is performed via the speaker 57 and the display screen 58 even when the vehicle enters.

  If the medium inserted into the insertion slot 52 is different from the contactless ticket communicated with the antenna A1, entry is not permitted. In this case, the door D1 is closed and the antenna is connected via the speaker 57 and the display screen 58. The same medium as that communicated with A1, that is, the non-contact ticket C is guided to be inserted, and the medium input to the input port 52 is reversely conveyed by the transfer mechanism L (the medium input from the input port 52) Is transported in the direction opposite to the direction in which the ticket is taken into the ticket gate body G) and is returned to the user. Thus, the reading of the card data using the antenna A2 is for checking the coincidence between the antenna A1 and the medium communicated, and the arithmetic processing for entering the card data read by the antenna A2 is, for example, It is possible to simply check the identification information (ID) of both media.

  Of course, if the medium inserted into the insertion slot 52 cannot communicate with the ticket gate body G side via the antenna A2 such as a magnetic ticket, it is a matter of course that entry is not permitted. For this reason, even when the medium is transported near the antenna A2 by the detector e provided in the transport mechanism L, when the communication by the antenna A2 is not started, the contactless ticket communicated with the antenna A1 at the insertion port 52. It is determined that another medium (foreign matter) has been thrown in without C being thrown in, and the transport mechanism L is reversely transported to discharge the foreign matter to the slot 52.

  Further, when a user tries to pass through the ticket gate passage P without inserting the non-contact ticket C into the insertion slot 52, the human detector detects that the user has entered a predetermined position in the ticket gate passage P. When the door D1 is closed (when the door D1 is already closed), entry guidance using the non-contact ticket C is performed via the speaker 57 and the display screen 58.

  The non-contact ticket C collected in the ticket gate body G is stacked and stored in the card stacker S. When the contactless ticket C in the card stacker S is detected to be full by a full sensor (not shown), the full card stacker S is removed from the ticket gate body G and installed at the station. It is set in an automatic ticket vending machine (not shown). And it is considered as a non-contact ticket issued from the automatic ticket vending machine

  In the above-described ticket gate main body G, when using a non-contact ticket C of a short-term use ticket, a double communication in which communication with the antenna A1 is performed after the communication with the antenna A1 is adopted. The participation process may be performed only by communication with the antenna A2. In this case, the door D1 is opened when participation can be permitted by the operation processing for participation based on the card data read by the antenna A2, and the inserted non-contact ticket C is collected in the card stacker S. Is done. However, as described above, when the insertion port 52 is opened by the communication of the antenna A1, it is possible to prevent the introduction of foreign matter into the insertion port 52.

  FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the transport mechanism L provided in the ticket gate main body G and near the insertion port 52. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 100 denotes a conveyance path composed of an endless belt 100 a driven by a motor M.

The conveyance path 102 is also configured to be driven by the motor M via a transmission mechanism (not shown). Therefore, when the motor M rotates forward, the endless belts 100a and 102a move as indicated by arrows in FIG. 2, so that the non-contact ticket C inserted from the insertion port 52 is put into the ticket gate body G. When the motor M is reversely rotated, the non-contact ticket C can be transported so as to be discharged from the ticket gate main body G to the insertion port 52.

  In FIG. 2, 104, 104... Are pressing rollers, which are provided on both the conveying paths 100, 102 at intervals slightly shorter than the long side dimension of the card-like non-contact ticket C.
