Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate static electricity which has electrically charged an IC card, by bringing a conductive part into contact with an earth pin of a housing side before a terminal of the IC card contacts a control pin of the housing side, when the IC card has been inserted into a stacker part and closed. CONSTITUTION:A stacker part 2 is provided with an IC card insertion port 9, a terminal read/write port 7 of an IC card, and a conductive part 8. A hous ing part 3 is provided with an earth pin 4, a control pin 5 and a control part 6, the earth pin 4 is connected to the earth of the control part 6, and the control pin 5 is connected to a controlling circuit of the control part 6. When the IC card is inserted from the IC card insertion port 9, the IC card contacts the conductive part 8 of the stacker part 2. Subsequently, when an operation for depressing and closing the stacker part 2 is executed, the conductive part 8 and the earth pin 4 contact before the control pin 5 contacts a terminal of the IC card, the conductive part 8 is connected to an earth of the control part 6, and static electricity which has changed the IC card is destaticized. When the stacker part 2 is further depressed, the control pin 5 contacts the terminal of the IC card, and an IC card read/write operation is executed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to an IC card reading/writing device used in a bank terminal device. The present invention relates to an IC card reading/writing device with a mechanism that does this.

(Background of the Invention) Compared to the magnetic cards used by banks, IC cards are attracting attention as being more suitable for storing information, processing and identification. However, these IC cards have It has the problem of being susceptible to static electricity.As a countermeasure, the IC card is always fixed in a fixed position, and the IC card reader is connected to the probe terminal for replacement to reduce wear on the electrodes on the IC card. The writing device was published in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-17.
No. 5079, but this does not have a mechanism for removing static electricity charged on an IC card.

In contrast, the present invention provides an IC card with a mechanism in which the stacker section of the IC card rotates around one end of the stacker section to open and close it.
In the card reading/writing device, a conductive part is provided in the stacker section to make contact with the IC card, and before the terminal of the IC card and the control pin on the case side come into contact, the conductor is connected to the ground pin provided on the case side. By removing static electricity charged on the IC card, the IC card and the IC card reading/writing device can be protected.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide an IC card reader/writer that effectively eliminates static electricity from an IC card in an IC card reader/writer with a mechanism in which an IC card stacker section of the IC card reader/writer rotates around one end of the stacker section to open and close. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a card reading/writing device.

[Summary of the invention]

In an IC card reading/writing device, the IC card stacker section of the IC card reading/writing device rotates around one end of the stacker section to open and close.
When inserting j/1511c, the guide provided in the stacker section!
s and the IC card are in contact, and close the stacker section.
Before the terminals of the C card and the control pins on the casing come into contact, the conductive part and the ground pin provided on the casing come into contact, removing the static electricity charged on the IC card and removing the IC card and the IC.
The card reading/writing device is now protected.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an IC card reading/writing device according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the IC card reading/writing device 1 is
It has an IC card stacker section 2 and a housing section 3, and the stacker section 2 has a mechanism that rotates around one end of the stacker section 2 to open and close it. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A--A in FIG. 1.

In FIG. 2, the stacker section 2 has an IC card insertion slot 9.
, an IC card terminal reading/writing lower part, and a conductive part 8.

The housing part 3 has a ground pin 4, a control pin 5, and a control s6.
, the ground pin 4 is connected to the ground of the control unit 6,
The control pin 5 is connected to a control circuit of a control section 6.

The control pin 5 is located at a position where it contacts the terminal of the IC card through the IC card terminal reading/writing lower part of the stacker section 2 when the stacker section 2 is closed, and the ground pin 4 is located between the control pin 5 and the IC card terminal. Before the terminal makes contact,
It is located at a position where it contacts the conductive part 8 of the stacker part 2.

Next, the operation of the IC card reading/writing device 1 of this embodiment will be explained.

When an IC card is inserted through the IC card insertion slot 9 of the stacker section 2, the IC card and the conductive portion 8 of the stacker section 2 come into contact.

Next, when you push down the stacker section 2 to close it,
The control pin 5 of the casing 3 comes into contact with the terminal of the IC card through the IC card terminal read/write lower of the stacker 2. The conductive part 8 of the pretreatment stacker 2 comes into contact with the ground pin 4 of the casing 3. The conductive part 8 is connected to the ground of the control part 6, thereby eliminating the static electricity charged on the IC card.

Further, when the stacker section 2 is pushed down and closed, the control pin 5 of the casing section 60 comes into contact with the terminal of the IC card through the IC card terminal reading/writing lower part, and the state is entered to perform the reading/writing operation of the IC card.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, in an IC card reading/writing device having a mechanism in which an IC card stacker part rotates around one end of the stacker part to open and close, the stacker part is provided with a conductive part that comes into contact with the IC card. , before the IC card terminal and the control pin on the housing side come into contact, the conductive part and the ground pin on the housing side come into contact and the conductive part is connected to the ground.
By removing the static electricity charged on the card, the IC card and the IC card reading/writing device can be protected.
