BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a fare box for receiving and collecting fares.

(2) Description of Related Art

Conventionally, a public transportation such as a bus or a streetcar is provided with a fare box for receiving and collecting fares such as coins and bills which passengers pay (see JP 2012-164299 A or the like). An operation panel which is operated at the time of changing setting of the fare box is mounted on the fare box described in JP 2012-164299 A. This operation panel is mounted on a fare box body as a part separate from the fare box, for example, and the operation panel is connected to a connector mounted on a wall surface of the fare box by way of a cable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

However, when functions of the fare box are increased, there arises a necessity of adding operation panels along with the increase of functions of the fare box. In this case, it is necessary to mount a plurality of operation panels on the fare box or a dashboard or the like on a vehicle side. In this case, there arises a drawback that the operation panels occupy a space around the fare box.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a fare box which is configured to possess the simplified entire configuration even when an operation system for changing an operation of receiving and collecting money is provided to the fare box.

A fare box which can overcome the above-mentioned drawback is configured such that the fare box receives and collects money put in the fare box as a fare, and a touch-panel-type operating part which is operated at the time of setting operations of receiving and collecting the money is integrally formed with the fare box.

With such a configuration, the touch-panel-type operating part is integrally formed with the fare box as an operation system for changing operations of receiving and collecting the money. Accordingly, even when the operation system for changing operations of receiving and collecting the money is provided to the fare box, the entire structure of the fare box can be simplified.

According to the present invention, even when the operation system for setting operations of receiving and collecting the money is provided to the fare box, the entire structure of the fare box can be simplified.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the fare box is described with reference toFIGS. 1 to 12. As shown inFIG. 1, the fare box1in which money (coins and bills) is put as a fare includes: a fare box body2; and a lid portion4which opens or closes an opening portion3of the fare box body2. On a front surface of the lid portion4, a coin receiving port5which receives coins, a bill receiving port6which receives bills; an information reading part7capable of reading various information by wireless in the fare box1; and a display part8which displays various information relating to the fare. It is preferable that the information reading part7be of a type which reads IC or bar codes, for example. A design panel (not shown in the drawing) may be mounted on portions of the information reading part7and the display part8of the lid portion4.

An open/close door10is mounted on a front surface of the fare box1. The open/close door10is opened or closed at the time of taking out or installing a safe9which stores coins and bills put into the fare box1. A coin return port11through which coins in the fare box1are discharged to the outside is mounted on the front surface of the fare box body2above the open/close door10.

As shown inFIG. 2, a touch-panel-type operating part14which is operated at the time of setting an operation of reception and collection of money is mounted on a back surface of the fare box1(lid portion4). An operation surface14aof the touch-panel-type operating part14is formed on a surface13of a fare box housing12. In this embodiment, the operation surface14aof the touch-panel-type operating part14is disposed so as to be coplanar with the surface13of the fare box housing12. Setting which can be changed by operating the touch-panel-type operating part14includes: a fare change of fares; counting of a student certificate; inputting of a defect, a wireless communication between communication equipment in a vehicle (a Wi-Fi rooter, for example) and the fare box1, intercommunication with the information reading part7and the like. It is preferable that the touch-panel-type operating part14be a resistance-film-type touch panel, for example. The lid portion4is locked or unlocked by a lock15mounted on a back surface of the lid portion4.

As shown inFIG. 3, in the inside of the fare box body2, a coin identification module18which identifies coins received by the coin receiving port5, a bill identification module19which identifies bills received by the bill receiving port6, a control module20which controls an operation of the fare box1, and a power source module21which controls a power source of the fare box1. These modules are detachably mounted on the fare box body2.

A panel control part24which controls an operation of the touch-panel-type operating part14is mounted on an inner wall surface of the lid portion4. The panel control part24is formed of a unit where a controller such as a central processing unit (CPU), for example, is mounted on a printed circuit board25. The panel control part24is disposed in the inside of the fare box housing12. The printed circuit board25is fixed to an inner wall surface of the lid portion4by bolts or the like, and is electrically connected to other electric components (the information reading part7, the display part8, the control module20and the like) of the fare box1via various lines.

As shown inFIG. 4, the coin identification module18includes: a module body part28; and a coin identification sensor part29which identifies a kind of a coin inputted from the coin receiving port5formed on an upper surface of the module body part28. Coins are put in the coin receiving port5one by one. The coin identification sensor part29takes in coins which are put in the coin receiving port5through a hole portion30aof a coin identifier30, and allows the coins to drop downward while identifying the coins by the coin identifier30.

As shown inFIGS. 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B, the fare box1includes a coin path switching mechanism31which switches a coin path in the coin identification module18to a bypass path43b. For example, when the coin path is clogged by a foreign substance or the coin identifier30cannot read coins due to smear, a defect or the like, the coin path switching mechanism31switches the coin path from a normal path43athrough which coins pass at the time of identifying the coins to the bypass path43bwhich does not allow the coins to pass through the coin identifier30. In this embodiment, the coin path switching mechanism31operates a movable part32(coin identification sensor part29in this embodiment) positioned on the coin path of the coin identification module18when the lid portion4which opens or closes the opening portion3of the fare box body2is in a closed state thus switching the coin path to the bypass path43b. Accordingly, the coins put in the fare box are forcibly discharged from the coin identification module18.

As shown inFIGS. 6A and 6B, the coin path switching mechanism31switches the coin path by releasing the engagement between a pair of protrusions33formed on the coin identification sensor part29and movable engaging plates34. The engaging plates34are connected to the module body part28such that the engaging plates34are rotatable about a pair of left and right shaft portions35(in an arrow A direction inFIGS. 6A and 6B). A biasing portion36awhich biases the engaging plates34in a locking direction (in an arrow A1direction inFIGS. 6A and 6B) is disposed between the module body part28and the engaging plates34. A biasing portion36bwhich biases the coin identification sensor part29in an opening direction (in an arrow B direction inFIG. 6B) is disposed between the module body part28and the coin identification sensor part29.

The coin path switching mechanism31includes a lever portion37which is operated at the time of releasing the engagement between the protrusions33and the engaging plates34. The lever portion37is assembled to the lid portion4by way of a biasing portion38which returns the lever portion37to an initial operation position such that the lever portion37moves in a reciprocating manner on a straight line direction (an arrow C direction inFIGS. 6A and 6B). The biasing portion38is formed of a coil spring, and one end of the coil spring is mounted on the lever portion37and the other end of the coil spring is mounted on a plate member39on a lid portion4side. The lever portion37is assembled into the inside of the lid portion4and one end of the lever portion37is exposed to the outside from a hole portion40formed in the lid portion4. When an operation of pulling the lever portion37(an operation in an arrow C1direction inFIG. 6B) is performed, the other end of the lever portion37lifts protruding portions41of the engaging plates34and hence, the engaging plates34are rotated in an unlocking direction (an arrow A2direction inFIGS. 6A and 6B).

As shown inFIGS. 7A and 7B, the coin identification sensor part29includes: the previously-mentioned coin identifier30which identifies kinds of coins; and a support plate42which supports the coin identifier30from a back surface side. The normal path43athrough which coins pass at the time of identification is formed in the coin identifier30. The bypass path43bis formed in the support plate42. The bypass path43bmakes coins put in the fare box directly fall downward without allowing the coins put in the fare box to pass through the coin identifier30.

As shown inFIG. 5, the bill identification module19identifies kinds of bills inputted from an inlet45formed on a front surface of the module body portion44by a sensor (not shown in the drawing) disposed in the inside of the module body portion44, and discharges the bills downward after identification. The bill identification module19according to this embodiment has only one path through which taken-in bill pass, and is not provided with a bypass path which forms a separate path for forcibly taking in bills into the bypass path when clogging of bills occurs.

As shown inFIGS. 8A and 8B, the fare box1includes a bill path shutter mechanism48which closes a bill path46(a path formed by a bill chute47in this embodiment) in the fare box body2in an interlocking manner with an operation of opening the lid portion4. In this embodiment, in the bill path shutter mechanism48, a shutter portion49is disposed so as to move in a reciprocating manner in a straight line direction (an arrow D direction inFIGS. 8A and 8B). By slidably moving the shutter portion49in a closing direction (the arrow D1direction inFIG. 8B) in an interlocking manner with an operation of opening the lid portion4, the bill path46is brought into a closed state.

The shutter portion49includes: a first plate50which conceals the bill path46; and a second plate51raised with respect to the first plate50. A cam portion53which is provided so as to be operating in an interlocking manner with an opening or closing operation of the lid portion4is disposed at a position adjacently to the second plate51parallel to the second plate51. A protruding portion54is formed on a side surface of the cam portion53, and the protruding portion54is engaged with a guide groove55formed in the second plate51. The guide groove55includes: a first groove portion56extending straightly in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the shutter portion49; and a second groove portion57having a curved shape. A pair of guides58which extends in a straightly moving direction of the shutter portion49is formed on the second plate51, and protrusions60of the plate member59of the fare box body2are inserted into these guides58. When an opening or closing operation of the lid portion4is performed, the projecting portion54of the cam portion53moves in the guide groove55and pushes the shutter portion49so as to move the shutter portion49in a straight line direction (an arrow D direction inFIG. 8B) in a reciprocating manner.

The bill path shutter mechanism48includes a key equipped plate61which is mounted so as to conceal the shutter portion49. The key equipped plate61can be removed from the fare box body2when the lock62is unlocked by an authentic key.

As shown inFIG. 9, the bill chute47is formed by assembling such that two chute members63,64having an approximately U-shape cross section opposedly face each other. In this embodiment, the chute members63,64are formed into the assembly structure where assembling seams65are directed so as to opposedly face surface portions of a bill.

As shown inFIGS. 11 and 12, the safe9includes: a safe body68which stores coins and bills; and a safe lid70which opens or closes an upper opening69of the safe body68. The safe lid70has a lid operating portion71which is operated at the time of mounting the safe9on the fare box body2and at the time of removing the safe9from the fare box body2. The lid operating portion71has a handle72, and a shaft portion73which is slidably operable and rotatably operable integrally with the handle72. The shaft portion73adopts the two-shaft split structure such that a shaft length of the shaft portion73can be changed. The shaft portion73is inserted into a block75which is rotatable about a shaft74extending in a width direction of the safe9such that the shaft portion73is movable straightly in a reciprocating manner in an axial direction. A shaft engaging portion76which engages with the safe body68after the safe lid70is closed and the lid operating portion71is rotated is mounted on a distal end of the shaft portion73. A biasing portion77which biases the shaft engaging portion76from a back surface side is mounted between the shaft portion73and the shaft engaging portion76.

A lock portion78which locks or unlocks the safe lid70is mounted on the safe body68. The lock portion78having the cylinder lock structure includes: an inner cylinder80having a key hole79; an outer cylinder81which is fitted on the inner cylinder80; and an operating sleeve82which is integrally rotatable with the outer cylinder81. An arm portion83extending along an axial direction of the lock portion78is formed on the operating sleeve82. When the safe lid70is operated so as to assume a closed state, the shaft engaging portion76is engaged with the arm portion83of the operating sleeve82. Accordingly, integral rotation of the lid operating portion71and the operating sleeve82is allowed in a state where the safe lid70is in a closed state.

A key plate portion86which is inserted into the lock portion78of the safe9is formed on an inner wall surface of the fare box body2. The key plate portion86includes a housing87, a keep plate88which is inserted into the key hole79of the lock portion78, and a cap89which closes an opening of the housing87. A biasing portion91which biases the key plate88from a back surface side is disposed between a seat portion90of the key plate88and the inner wall surface of the fare box body2. A biasing portion92which biases the cap89from a back surface side is disposed between the cap89and the seat portion90.

A plurality of protrusions95(only one protrusion95shown inFIG. 12) are formed on an inner surface of the housing87. These protrusions95are engageable with the operating sleeve82when the key plate portion86is inserted into the lock portion78. A plurality of path grooves96are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the operating sleeve82. These path grooves96allow the movement of the protrusions95when the key plate portion86is inserted into the lock portion78. Engaging grooves97with which the protrusions95of the key plate portion86engage are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the operating sleeve82along a circumferential direction of the lock portion78. When the safe9is mounted on the fare box body2and the safe lid70is brought into an open state (see a state shown inFIG. 11), the protrusions95are caught by the engaging grooves97of the operating sleeve82so that the illegal removal of the safe9from the fare box body2becomes impossible.

As shown inFIG. 10, the key plate portion86is mounted on and fixed to the fare box body2by the split assembly mechanism101where the key plate portion86is assembled to the fare box body2by threadedly mounting portions100by way of a plurality of plate members (plates). In this embodiment, the split assembly mechanism101includes: a support plate102on which the key plate portion86is mounted; a pressing plate104having a hole portion103through which the key plate portion86passes; an intermediate plate105disposed between a wall of the fare box body2and the pressing plate104; and an outer frame plate106mounted on the fare box body2from the outside.

In this embodiment, the key plate portion86is fixed to the fare box body2in such a manner that the support plate102is fitted into a cut-off groove107formed on the intermediate plate105, the support plate102is pressed by the pressing plate104, and a plurality of fastening shafts108of the outer frame plate106are inserted into respective holes formed in the fare box body2, the intermediate plate105and the pressing plate104and are fastened by threadedly engaging portions100. These plate members (the fare box body2, the pressing plate104and the intermediate plate105in this embodiment) are fixed by a plurality of (two in this embodiment) rivets109.

As shown inFIG. 11, in removing the safe9from the fare box body2, a user grasps the handle72, lifts the lid operating portion71in an upward direction (in an arrow E direction inFIG. 11), and rotates the lid operating portion71about the shaft74by approximately 90 degrees. At this stage of operation, the lid operating portion71is rotated about the shaft74together with the block75.

Subsequently, as shown inFIG. 12, the lid operating portion71which is lifted upward and is held horizontally is pushed into a depth side so as to slidably move the safe lid70and the lid operating portion71toward a depth side. At this stage of operation, the shaft portion73passes through the hole formed in the block75and hence, a slide operation of the safe lid70and the lid operating portion71toward a depth side (in an arrow F direction inFIG. 12) is allowed. When the shaft engaging portion76at a distal end of the shaft portion73reaches the lock portion78, a groove portion110of the shaft engaging portion76engages with the arm portion83of the operating sleeve82. Accordingly, the integral rotation of the lid operating portion71and the operating sleeve82is allowed.

After the safe lid70is closed, the handle72is rotated by approximately 90 degrees about the shaft portion73due to a rotary operation of the handle72. At this stage of operation, the operating sleeve82is rotated together with the shaft engaging portion76in the same direction, and the path grooves96of the operating sleeve82and the protrusions95of the key plate portion86are aligned with each other so that the removal of the lock portion78from the key plate portion86is allowed. Further, a state is brought about where the shaft engaging portion76is aligned with a restricting plate111of the safe body68and hence, it becomes impossible to perform an operation of sliding the lid operating portion71toward an operator's side. That is, the safe lid70is locked to the safe body68. Then, by shifting gripping to a gripping portion112on a side surface of the safe body68and by pulling out the safe9, the safe9is taken out from the fare box body2.

Next, the manner of operation and advantageous effects of the fare box1according to this embodiment are described with reference toFIGS. 2, 3, 6A to 8B and 10 to 12.

As shown inFIG. 2, in the fare box1of this embodiment, an operation system (operation panel) which an operator operates at the time of setting the fare box1is formed of the touch-panel-type operating part14which is integrally formed with the fare box1(lid portion4). To consider a case where such an operation system is provided as a member separate from the fare box1, an operation panel having a reasonable size is mounted on the fare box1. In this case, the appearance of the fare box1is deteriorated, and it is also difficult to ensure operability of the operation panel. On the other hand, by assembling the operation system into the fare box1as in the case of this embodiment, the configuration of the fare box1can be simplified, and the operability is also enhanced.

Also in this embodiment, as shown inFIG. 3, the panel control part24on which the controller for controlling the touch-panel-type operating part14is mounted is assembled into the fare box1. That is, a control system of the touch-panel-type operating part14is also integrally formed with the fare box1. Accordingly, it is possible to position the operation system and the control system close to each other and hence, it is possible to make it difficult for a noise to superimpose on signals inputted or outputted between the operation system and the control system.

The panel control part24of the touch-panel-type operating part14is disposed in the inside of the fare box housing12. Accordingly, it is possible to integrally arrange the control system of the touch-panel-type operating part14in the inside of the fare box housing12. The operation surface14aof the touch-panel-type operating part14is formed on the surface13of the fare box housing12. Accordingly, the touch-panel-type operating part14can be disposed on the same plane as other surfaces of the fare box housing12(lid portion4) and hence, operability of the touch-panel-type operating part14can be ensured.

As indicated by the flow from an operation inFIG. 6Ato an operation inFIG. 6B, for example, when the coin path (the coin receiving port5or the hole portion30a, for example) of the coin identification module18is clogged by a foreign substance (a coin or the like) or the coin identifier30cannot be used, the lever portion37is pulled toward an operator's side (in the arrow C1direction inFIG. 6B). When the lever portion37is pulled toward the operator's side, the distal end of the lever portion37pulls and lifts the protruding portions41of the engaging plates34so that the engaging plates34are rotated in an unlocking direction (the arrow A2direction inFIGS. 6A and 6B) about the shaft portion35. Accordingly, the engagement between the protrusions33of the coin identification sensor part29and the engaging plates34is released, and the coin identification sensor part29is moved in an opening direction (the arrow B direction inFIG. 6B) due to a biasing force of the biasing portion36b.

Accordingly, as shown inFIGS. 7A and 7B, after such an operation, coins put in the fare box1are effectively put in the inside of the bypass path43bpositioned on a back surface of the coin identifier30in place of the normal path43ain the coin identifier30. Accordingly, in a succeeding operation, coins put in the coin receiving port5are forcibly made to fall downward through the bypass path43bpositioned on the back surface of the coin identifier30, and are stored in the safe9through the coin chute (not shown in the drawing) in the fare box body2.

The coin identification sensor part29brought into an open state maintains its open state even when an operator leaves his hand from the lever portion37. Accordingly, to return the coin identification sensor part29brought into an open state to an original closed state, it is necessary for an operator to open the lid portion4and to directly return the coin identification sensor part29to the closed state with his hand.

As indicated by the flow from an operation inFIG. 8Ato an operation inFIG. 8B, when an operation of opening the lid portion4is performed, the lid portion4and the cam portion53are operated in an opening direction. At this stage of the operation, during a period in which the protruding portion54of the cam portion53moves in a straight-line-shaped first groove portion56of the guide groove55, an operation of closing the shutter portion49is not yet performed and the shutter portion49maintains an open state. Then, when the protruding portion54starts to pass through a curved second groove portion57of the guide groove55along with the further rotation of the cam portion53, the protruding portion54pushes the shutter portion49in a closing direction (in the arrow D1direction inFIG. 8B) so that the shutter portion49starts the closing operation. Then, when the lid portion4is brought into a full open state, the shutter portion49is completely closed so that the bill path46(bill chute47) is brought into a completely closed state. Accordingly, when the lid portion4is in an open state, a person cannot put his hand in the bill path46(bill chute47) so that it is possible to ensure the crime prevention for a theft of bills.

Further, a key attached plate61which conceals the shutter portion49from above is disposed in the fare box body2. Accordingly, a key for unlocking the lock62of the key attached plate61becomes necessary to remove the shutter portion49and hence, it is possible to ensure the crime prevention for an illegal removal of the shutter portion49.

As shown inFIG. 10, as the structure of assembling the key plate portion86to the fare box body2, the split assembly mechanism101is used where the key plate portion86is assembled to the fare box body2by threadedly engaging portions100by way of a plurality of plate members without using welding. Accordingly, for example, in a case where the key plate portion86is not normally operated, the key plate portion86can be simply replaced with a new key plate portion86and hence, the maintenance property of the key plate portion86can be also ensured. Particularly, in this embodiment, the pressing plate104is fixed to the fare box body2and the intermediate plate105by way of rivets109. Accordingly, there is no possibility that the pressing plate104is illegally removed and hence, the structure provides a measure to prevent a theft of the key plate portion86. It is also safe to say that the crime prevention property of the fare box1is high from this point of view.

As shown inFIGS. 11 and 12, the handle72which an operator operates at the time of opening or closing the safe lid70is provided as a part separate from the grip portion112which the operator holds with his hand at the time of carrying the safe body68. With such a configuration, a size of the handle72can be made smaller compared to a usually available handle. Accordingly, in a case where the safe lid70is in a closed state, even when a person intends to illegally operate the handle72in an opening direction, he cannot apply a large force to the handle72. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an illegal operation of opening the safe lid70. Further, out of the lid operating portion71and the lock portion78, the lock portion78is fixed and the lid operating portion71is made movable by the biasing portion77. Accordingly, the number of biasing portions (the number of springs) can be reduced.

The embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned configuration, and may be changed to the following modes.

The touch-panel-type operating part14is not limited to the arrangement where the touch-panel-type operating part14is disposed on the same plane as the surface (panel mounting surface) of the lid portion4. For example, the touch-panel-type operating part14may be disposed in a state where the touch-panel-type operating part14is inclined with respect to the surface (panel mounting surface) of the lid portion4. In this case, a state is brought about where a screen of the touch-panel-type operating part14faces a driver and hence, operability of the touch-panel-type operating part14is enhanced.

The arrangement position of the touch-panel-type operating part14is suitably changeable to a center portion, a corner portion or the like of the panel mounting surface of the lid portion4(fare box1), for example.

Buttons (switches) may be added to the touch-panel-type operating part14, and a money receiving and collecting operation may be set by the buttons (switches).

The touch-panel-type operating part14is not limited to the structure which uses a resistance-film-type sensor, and may be configured to use other sensors.

The portion on which the touch-panel-type operating part14is disposed is not limited to the lid portion4, and may be disposed at other portions such as a side wall of the fare box body2, for example.

The movable part32of the coin path switching mechanism31is not limited to the coin identification sensor part29, and may be changed to other member provided that the member is configured to have a coin path.

The coin identification sensor part29which assumes an open state due to an operation of the lever portion37may adopt the structure where the coin identification sensor part29automatically returns to an original closed state along with the release of an operation of the lever portion37.

The coin path switching mechanism31can be suitably changed to structures other than the structure described in the embodiment.

The shutter portion49is not limited to a slidably movable member and may be a rotatable member, for example.

The bill path shutter mechanism48can be suitably changed to structures other than the structure described in the embodiment.

Next, the technical concepts grasped from the above-mentioned embodiment and other embodiments are additionally described hereinafter together with advantageous effects brought about by the technical concepts.

(a) A fare box for receiving and collecting money put in the fare box as a fare, wherein the fare box includes a bill path shutter mechanism which closes a bill path disposed in the inside of a fare box body in an interlocking manner with an operation of opening a lid portion which opens or closes an opening portion of the fare box body. In this type of fare box, the bill path is disposed in the inside of the fare box and hence, in a case where a door portion of the fare box is brought into an open state, a person can put his hand into the bill path. Accordingly, there is a concern that bills are stolen. However, in the case of the above-mentioned configuration, when an operation of opening the door portion is performed, the bill path is closed by the bill path shutter mechanism in an interlocking manner with such a door portion opening operation and hence, crime prevention can be ensured with respect to a theft of bills.

(b) A fare box for receiving and collecting money put in the fare box as a fare, wherein the fare box includes a coin path mechanism which switches a path through which coins pass to a bypass path where coins do not pass through a coin identifier of a coin identification sensor part. In this type of fare box, although kinds of coins can be identified by the coin identifier of the coin identification module, a possibility is not deniable that a coin path in the coin identifier is clogged by a coin or the coin identifier cannot read a coin due to smear, defect or the like. Accordingly, in the case of the above-mentioned configuration, when a situation is brought about where a coin cannot be identified by the coin identifier as described above, the coin can be forcibly discharged by switching a path through which the coin passes to the bypass path provided as a separate path and hence, even when an abnormality occurs in the coin identifier, the fare box can receive and collect the coins without stagnation.
