The present invention relates to a non-contact IC card processing device in which an antenna unit and a data processing unit are integrated and an IC data processing unit can be arranged regardless of the configuration.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, non-contact IC cards have been applied to various cards such as parking cards, point cards, commuter passes, and admission tickets. In such cards, it is sometimes necessary to display the contents so that the contents can be viewed together with the R / W processing of the data. In this case, a non-contact IC card processing apparatus having a configuration in which an R / W processing section and a print processing section are provided along the card transport path and the R / W processing and the visual data printing processing are continuously performed is used.
[0003]
FIG. 7 schematically shows the configuration of an R / W processing unit in a conventional non-contact IC card processing apparatus of this type.
In FIG. 7, pressing rollers 3 and 4 opposed to the conveying rollers 1 and 2 arranged at intervals in the conveying direction with the conveying surface A of a non-contact IC card (not shown) interposed therebetween are above the conveying surface A. Provided. In order to prevent the card rollers from being disturbed due to the uneven orientation of the pressing rollers 3, 4, the pressing rollers 3, 4 are connected by a ladder-shaped leaf spring 5 as shown in FIG. It is elastically biased to the first and second sides. The pressing rollers 3 and 4 are rotatably provided on supporting shafts 6 and 7 fixed to a leaf spring 5, and a belt 8 is wound around a pulley portion thereof. A fulcrum shaft 9 is fixed to the center of the leaf spring 5, and the leaf spring 5 passes through the end of the fulcrum shaft 9 into the through-holes 10 a and 11 b of the sheet metal transport path side walls 10 and 11, and passes the leaf spring 5 through the transport path. It is supported on the side walls 10 and 11. Reference numeral 12 denotes an idler pulley rotatably provided on the fulcrum shaft 9 for stretching the belt 8 while avoiding the leaf spring 5. The IC data processing unit 13 disposed in the transport path portion between the pressing rollers 3 and 4 includes a data processing unit 13A disposed below the transport path and an antenna unit disposed between the transport surface A and the leaf spring 5. 13B, the data processing unit 13A and the antenna unit 13B are electrically connected by a wiring 14. In FIG. 1, reference numerals 15a and 15b denote position detection sensors (shown by dotted lines in the figure) arranged at appropriate positions along the transport path, 15c: card orientation and front / back determination sensors (shown by dotted lines in the figure), 16 Is a motor for driving the transport roller 1.

The card insertion direction and the front and back sides are detected by the sensor 15c, and if correct, the transport operation is continued. When a card is detected by the sensor 15b, the IC data processing unit 13 executes data R / W processing. When the R / W processing is completed, the card is conveyed to the left in FIG. 1, and the printing processing is executed by the print processing unit. When both processes are completed, the card is returned to the insertion slot 19 side.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, the IC chips of the non-contact IC card are various, some of which have a long communication distance (communication distance of 25 mm or more) and some of which have a short communication distance (communication distance of 5 to 10 mm). There is a demand for a card that can handle various non-contact IC cards. In this case, it is desirable that the antenna unit and the data processing unit can be integrally disposed as an IC data processing unit in consideration of the workability of assembling and the measures to be taken when a card jam occurs after the assembling.
[0006]
However, in the conventional structure as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a non-contact IC card having a short communication distance, in which the antenna section needs to be arranged close to the transfer surface A, has the sensor 15c and the like. As shown in FIG. 7, the antenna unit 13B has to be arranged above the transport plane A and close to the transport plane A. In this case, the leaf spring 5 connecting the pressing rollers 3 and 4 is in the way and there is no space for installing the data processing unit 13A, and the data processing unit 13 is separated by IC into the data processing unit 13A and the antenna unit 13B. The section 13A is disposed below the transport path as shown in FIG. For this reason, a long wiring 14 is required between the antenna unit 13B and the data processing unit 13A, and there is a problem that the assembling takes time. In addition, since the antenna unit 13B and the data processing unit 13A of the IC data processing unit 13 are separated before the assembling work, it is necessary to manage the IC data processing unit so that the correspondence between the two does not differ.
[0007]
Further, when the card is clogged after assembling, the leaf spring 5 and the antenna section 13B are removed to open the transport path in order to take out the non-contact IC card. In this case, the wiring must be removed before removing the antenna section 13B. It has to be removed, and it takes time to open the transport path.
For a non-contact IC card having a long communication distance in which the antenna unit can be arranged at a distance from the transfer surface A, the antenna unit and the data processing unit are integrated by using a space below the sensor 15c to perform IC data processing. It is possible to arrange units.
[0008]

[0023]
The print processing unit 50 drives a printing thermal head 51, a cooling fan 52 disposed above the thermal head, a printing platen roller 53 facing the thermal head 51 across the transport surface A, and a platen roller 53. The solenoid 54, the conveying rollers 55 and 56, the idler pulley 57, and the pressing rollers 58 and 59 opposed to the conveying rollers 55 and 56 with the conveying surface A interposed therebetween are arranged above the conveying path for pressing the conveying rollers. Pressure unit 60 and sensors 15d and 15e (shown by broken lines in FIG. 1) for detecting a non-contact IC card supplied from a card issuing unit (not shown).
[0024]
The pressurizing unit 60 may have a configuration shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-298425 previously proposed by the present applicant.
That is, two substantially U-shaped elastic arms are formed so as to face each other on a pressing unit 60 that supports the pressing rollers 58 and 59 in a state where the pressing rollers 58 and 59 are always elastically urged downward in FIG.

[0025]
The operation of the non-contact IC card processing device having such a configuration will be briefly described.
The power of the motor 16 is transmitted to the transport roller 31 via the belts 17 and 18, transmitted to the other transport roller 32 via the belt 42, and pressed against the transport rollers 31 and 32 by the elastic biasing force of the coil springs 37 and 37. Is transmitted to the pressing rollers 33, 34. When the non-contact IC card 21 is inserted and the insertion of the card is detected by the sensor 15a, the motor 16 is driven to take the non-contact IC card 21 into the apparatus. The sensor 15c detects the card insertion direction and the front and back, and if correct, continues the transport operation. If the sensor 15b detects the card, the IC data processing unit 38 executes R / W processing of the data, After the completion of the W processing, the sheet is conveyed to the print processing unit 50.
[0026]
In the print processing unit 50, a support member 61 that rotatably supports the platen roller 53 and one of the transport rollers 56 is intermittently driven in the vertical direction in FIG. Printing is performed by pressing the IC card 21 against the thermal head 51. In synchronization with the operation of the solenoid 54, the non-contact IC card 21 is conveyed by the platen roller 53 and the conveying rollers 55 and 56 driven by the motor 16 and the pressing rollers 58 and 59 of the pressing unit 60. Printing is performed at a predetermined position on the contact IC card 21. After the print processing in the print processing section 50 is completed, the non-contact IC card 21 is returned to the insertion port side by rotating the motor 16 in the reverse direction.
[0027]
In the present embodiment, in the R / W processing unit 30, the connecting member 35 of the pressing rollers 33 and 34 disposed on the upper side of the transport path is bent in a substantially U-shape in a direction in which the central portion 35B moves away from the transport path. With such a shape, a large space is formed above the conveyance path. Accordingly, even in the case of a non-contact IC card processing device that supports a non-contact IC card with a short communication distance (communication distance of 5 to 10 mm) in which the antenna unit needs to be brought close to the transport path, the data processing unit is provided above the antenna unit. As shown in FIG. 1, an IC data processing unit 38 integrally assembled in a case made of a product can be mounted.
[0028]
Therefore, the integrated IC data processing unit 38 can be used for various non-contact IC cards regardless of the length of the communication distance without separating the antenna unit and the data processing unit. Therefore, when the processing device is compatible with a contactless IC card having a short communication distance, it is not necessary to manage the correspondence between the antenna unit and the data processing unit. Further, it is not necessary to separately assemble the antenna unit and the data processing unit, and the workability of assembling the device can be improved.
[0029]
Further, the guide member 36 can be removed from the transport path side wall 39 simply by pushing the claws 36c, 36c leftward in FIG. 3 and pulling out the locking pieces 36b, 36b from the through holes 39a of the transport path side wall 39. Moreover, since the IC data processing unit 38 is attached to the central portion 36B of the guide member 36, the IC processing unit 38 can be removed simultaneously with the removal of the guide member 36 and the connecting member 35. Therefore, when the card is clogged, the upper side of the transport path can be opened very easily, and the card removing operation is facilitated and the maintenance is easy.
[0030]
Further, in the present embodiment, the print processing unit 50 can easily open the upper part of the transport path by simply releasing the locking claw of the pressure unit 60 on the upper side of the transport path from the latch. The entire transport path of the non-contact IC card processing device 21 including the processing unit 50 can be easily opened, and maintenance such as removal of a card when a card jam occurs is extremely easy.
[0031]
The shape of the guide member is not limited to the shape as shown in FIG. 2, and FIGS. 4 to 6 show other examples of the guide member.
The guide member 70 shown in FIG. 4 omits the guide member 40 attached to the side of the other transport path side wall 39 in FIG. 3 and forms the transport guide portions 71 for non-contact IC cards on both sides of the guide member 70. It was made. Other configurations are the same as those of the guide member 36 described above. According to the guide member 70 having such a configuration, the work of attaching the guide member on the upper side of the transport path in the R / W processing unit 30 only requires attaching the guide member 70, and the assembling workability of the non-contact IC card processing device is improved.
[0032]
The guide member 80 shown in FIG. 5 is provided with a through hole 81 at one end side of the guide member 80, and a rotation shaft (not shown) fixed to the transport path side wall 39 penetrates the through hole 81, and It is a configuration that can rotate around an axis. Other configurations are the same as those of the guide member 36 described above. The guide member 80 having such a configuration can open the upper side of the transport path by removing the other locking piece from the transport path side wall 39 and rotating the guide member 80 around the rotation axis.
[0033]
The guide member 90 shown in FIG. 6 has a central portion 90A that is bent in a substantially U-shape in accordance with the shape of the connecting member 35. Other configurations are the same as those of the guide member 36 described above. In the case of the guide member 90 having such a configuration, the IC data processing unit 38 is mounted not on the guide member 90 but on the transport path side wall 39 side. For this reason, when opening the upper side of the transport path, the guide member 90 and the IC processing unit 38 need to be separately removed, and the opening operation of the upper side of the transport path is more difficult than the guide members 36, 70, and 80 shown in FIGS. However, since the IC processing unit 38 is integrated with the antenna unit and the data processing unit, compared to the conventional structure, there is no wiring removal work between the antenna unit and the data processing unit. Opening work becomes easy.
[0034]
The non-contact IC card processing apparatus of the present invention can be used for a non-contact IC card having a long communication distance (communication distance of 25 mm or more) even in the upper side of the transport path between the pressing rollers 33 and 34 in the R / W processing unit 30. The IC data processing unit 38 may be arranged in a space of the same size as in the prior art. However, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Since the IC data processing unit has a space in which the IC data processing unit can be arranged, the IC data processing unit can be arranged below the conveyance path between the pressing rollers 33 and.
[0035]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, by devising the shape of the connecting member of the pair of pressing rollers, the IC data processing unit in which the antenna unit and the data processing unit are integrated above the transport path can be arranged. Therefore, the antenna unit and the data processing unit of the IC data processing unit can be integrated and assembled even in the case of supporting a non-contact IC card with a short communication distance that requires the antenna unit to be close to the transport surface. Therefore, there is an advantage that not only the workability of assembling the IC processing unit can be improved, but also it is not necessary to manage the correspondence between the antenna unit and the data processing unit. Further, even when the IC data processing unit is arranged on the upper side of the transport path, the IC data processing unit can be easily removed, the transport path can be easily opened, and maintenance work such as card removal when a card jam occurs can be facilitated.
[0036]
Also, by attaching the IC data processing unit to the guide member which is freely detachably locked on the side wall of the transfer path, the IC data processing unit can be removed integrally with the guide member, so that the work of opening the transfer path is further facilitated. Maintenance work becomes easy.
Furthermore, if a pressure unit that can be easily removed is provided above the transport path of the print processing unit, the entire transport path of the non-contact IC card processing device can be easily opened, and maintenance work such as card removal can be further improved. Further improve.
