側の端子汚染については考、慮されていなかった。As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-20870, the conventional device uses a cleaning member to clean K before or at the time of contact.
By cleaning the terminals of the IC card, contamination of the terminals can be prevented and good contact can be obtained. However, terminal gluing IJ-ning is performed only once in one operation, and in the unlikely event that a contact failure occurs, it is necessary to perform the operation again manually. Further, no consideration was given to terminal contamination on the card reader side.
本発明の目的は、自動的にＩＣカードおよびＩＣカード
読取り装置の端子汚染を除去し、良好な端子接触が得ら
れるＩＣカード読取り装置を提供 −することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an IC card reader that automatically removes terminal contamination of an IC card and an IC card reader and provides good terminal contact.
上記目的を達成するためには、端子接触時に端子を振動
させ端子汚染を除去する方法が良い。In order to achieve the above object, it is preferable to vibrate the terminal when it comes into contact with the terminal to remove terminal contamination.
１回の振動で端子汚染が除去できなければ自動的に複数
回振動するようにする。If terminal contamination cannot be removed with one vibration, the device automatically vibrates multiple times.
以下、本発明の一実施例を第１図により説明する。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

設けられている。As shown in FIG. 1, an IC card 1 includes an integrated circuit element 2.
2' is embedded within the card, and includes an integrated circuit element 2.
A card terminal 3 electrically connected to 2' is provided on the card surface.

置と電気的に接続され各種制御を行なう。The card reading device includes a head terminal 5 for electrically contacting the card reading head 4 and the card terminal 5, a card reading head control device 7 for moving the card reading head 4 up and down, vibrations to the card, and the reading head 4. It is composed of a motor 8 that supplies the IC card 1, and a position sensor 6 that detects the position of the IC card 1. The processing device 9 is electrically connected to the card reading device and performs various controls.

理装置９は読取ったデータをチェックし正常な場合は正
常動作を行なう。When reading data from IC card 1, first read IC card 1.
A position sensor 6 detects that the IC card 1 has moved to a predetermined position, and the IC card 1 is stopped at the predetermined position. When the IC card 1 stops, the processing device 9 sends a signal to the card reading head control device 7 to lower the card reading head 4 to a predetermined position and bring the head terminal 5 and card terminal 3 into contact with each other with a constant pressure. Next, the processing device 9 outputs a data reading command. The data of IC card 1 is transferred to card terminal 3.
The signal is then propagated to the head terminal 5 and read by the processing device 9. The processing device 9 checks the read data, and if it is normal, performs normal operation.
ここで行なうデータのチェック方法としては、例えば公

常処理を行なう。If there is an abnormality in the data, it is assumed that the terminal is in poor contact, and the processing device 9 rotates the motor 8 to apply vibration to the card reading head 4. Due to this vibration, the head terminal 5 vibrates while being in contact with the card terminal 3 with a constant pressure, and the head terminal 5 vibrates while being in contact with the card terminal 3.
and remove contamination from the surface of the head terminal 50 to ensure terminal contact. Then, the data on the IC card 1 is read again and the data is checked. This operation is repeated a predetermined number of times until there are no abnormalities in the read data. If there is an abnormality in the read data even after performing the reading a predetermined number of times, abnormality processing is performed.

There is also a method in which the IC card 1 is set in advance at a position where the head terminal 5 and the card terminal 3 are in contact with each other with a constant pressure, the IC card 1 is moved to a predetermined position, and the card terminal 3 and the head terminal 5 are brought into contact with each other. In this embodiment, there is no need to move the card reading head up and down, so the card reading head control device 7 is not required.
