Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of access control equipment technology, and in particular to a mechanical ticketing and checking system. Background Technology
[0002] Automated ticketing and ticket checking systems are an important tool for modern scenic area management. They can improve ticket checking efficiency, reduce manual operation costs, and enable tourists to pass through quickly.
[0003] The existing automatic ticket checking system in scenic spots generally requires tourists to purchase tickets for attractions at the ticket office, place the tickets for the corresponding attractions on the turnstiles, and then have the turnstiles open after the barcode reading devices on the turnstiles identify the tickets and the drive mechanism opens the gates.
[0004] However, the inventors discovered during actual operation that the above-mentioned automatic ticketing and ticket checking system has at least the following defects: the existing automatic ticketing and ticket checking systems all need to be connected to a power source and continuously supplied to ensure their normal operation. Not only does it consume a lot of electricity, but in the event of a power failure, the system will not be able to operate. In addition, it is not applicable to scenic spots where it is inconvenient to lay electricity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a mechanical ticketing and ticket checking system to solve the aforementioned technical problems.
[0006] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:
[0007] A mechanical ticketing and ticket checking system, characterized in that it includes a pass card, a ticketing device, and a gate device;
[0008] The access card includes a housing and a magnetic chip and a first locking mechanism disposed within the housing. The magnetic chip is capable of sliding between a first position and a second position along the height direction of the housing. The first locking mechanism is used to lock or unlock the sliding of the magnetic chip.
[0009] The ticketing device includes a ticket vending machine base and a first drive mechanism disposed on the ticket vending machine base. The ticket vending machine base is provided with a first slot for inserting the access card.

The access control bar is located on one side of the ticket checking seat and can rotate relative to the ticket checking seat. The second locking mechanism is disposed between the ticket checking seat and the access control bar and is used to lock or unlock the access control bar.
[0011] When the access card is inserted into the second slot, the magnetic chip, which has moved to the second position, can attract the second locking mechanism to move away from the access control bar in order to unlock the access control bar.
[0012] In some embodiments, the magnetic chip has a first locking portion on its side, and the first locking mechanism includes:
[0013] A limiting rod is movably connected to the housing, and the side of the limiting rod is provided with a second locking part that engages with the first locking part;
[0014] A drive rod is connected to the limiting rod. The drive rod can slide along the height direction of the housing to drive the limiting rod to move, so that the second locking part can engage or disengage with the first locking part.
[0015] In some embodiments, the first locking mechanism further includes:
[0016] An abutment is located between the first position and the second position. The abutment is capable of deforming along the length of the housing to abut against the top or bottom of the magnetic chip, thereby keeping the magnetic chip in the first or second position.
[0017] In some embodiments, the bottom of the housing is provided with a groove communicating with the inner cavity of the housing;
[0018] The bottom of the first slot is provided with a protrusion that matches the groove;
[0019] When the access card is inserted into the first slot, the protrusion abuts against the bottom of the drive rod and pushes the drive rod upward to unlock the magnetic chip.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism includes:
[0021] A rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the ticket vending machine base. The circumferential surface of the rotating wheel is provided with a first magnetic element that attracts the magnetic chip. A ratchet is provided on the side of the rotating wheel.
[0022] A lever has one end extending to the outside of the ticket vending machine base and the other end having ratchet teeth that engage with the ratchet wheel. The lever can move along the height direction of the ticket vending machine base to drive the rotating wheel to rotate.
[0023] In some embodiments, the side of the lever is provided with at least two sets of limiting posts, and the at least two sets of limiting posts abut against the inner wall and outer wall of the ticket vending machine base respectively to limit the forward and backward direction of the lever.
[0024] In some embodiments, the access card is provided with lock slots on both sides, and the ticketing device further includes a third locking mechanism for locking or unlocking the access card;
[0025] The third locking mechanism includes:
[0026] A locking block, one end of which is rotatably connected to the side of the ticket vending machine base, and the other end of which is provided with a hook extending into the first slot, the hook engaging with the locking slot;
[0027] The driving component extends at one end to the outside of the ticket vending machine base and at the other end to contact the locking block. The driving component can move along the height direction of the ticket vending machine base to drive the locking block to rotate, so that the hook can engage or disengage from the locking groove.
[0028] In some embodiments, the locking block is provided with a stop post on its side;
[0029] The side of the drive member is provided with an inclined surface, which abuts against the stop post and forces the locking block to rotate away from the locking groove when the drive member moves downward.
[0030] In some embodiments, the end face of the access control bar facing the ticket check station is provided with a lock hole;
[0031] The second locking mechanism includes:
[0032] A drive frame is mounted on the ticket check station and is capable of moving back and forth relative to the ticket check station;
[0033] The locking rod has one end connected to the drive frame and the other end provided with a pin that mates with the locking hole;
[0034] A second magnetic component is disposed on the drive frame;
[0035] When the access card is inserted into the second slot, the magnetic chip attracts the second magnetic component, causing the drive frame to move the locking bar away from the access control bar, thus disengaging the pin from the lock hole.
[0036] In some embodiments, the magnetic chip is provided in multiple groups, and each group of magnetic chips is provided with a first locking mechanism.
[0037] The first driving mechanism and the magnetic chip are configured in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0038] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0039] The mechanical ticketing and gate-checking system of this invention operates as follows: Tourists first purchase a pass for the corresponding attraction at the ticket office. Staff insert the pass into the ticket vending machine. A first locking mechanism unlocks the magnetic chip within the pass, allowing it to slide freely along the height of the casing. A first driving mechanism then drives the magnetic chip from a first position on the casing to a second position, activating the pass. After receiving the activated pass, the tourist inserts it into the second slot on the gate device of the corresponding attraction. The magnetic chip on the pass attracts the second locking mechanism, causing it to move away from the gate barrier, thus unlocking the barrier and allowing it to rotate freely for the tourist's passage. Therefore, this mechanical ticketing and gate-checking system does not require an external power source, reducing energy consumption and operating costs, achieving energy conservation and environmental protection. It avoids the problem of the system becoming unusable due to power outages and is applicable to scenic areas where electricity cannot be laid, effectively improving the system's applicability.

[0060] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0061] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0062] It should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of the invention is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0063] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0064] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0065] Please see Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the mechanical ticketing and ticket checking system includes a pass card 10, a ticketing device 20, and a gate device 30.
[0066] The access card 10 may include a housing 11 and a magnetic chip 12 disposed in the housing 11 and a first locking mechanism 13. The magnetic chip 12 can slide between a first position 111 and a second position 112 along the height direction of the housing 11. The first locking mechanism 13 is used to lock or unlock the sliding of the magnetic chip 12.
[0067] Specifically, a sliding groove is provided in the inner cavity of the housing 11 along the height direction, with the two ends of the sliding groove being a first position 111 and a second position 112, respectively. The magnetic chip 12 is located in the sliding groove and can slide between the first position 111 and the second position 112 along the extension direction of the sliding groove. By providing the sliding groove, the range of motion of the magnetic chip 12 in other directions can be restricted, so that the magnetic chip 12 can only slide along the extension direction of the sliding groove.
[0068] Specifically, in the first position 111, the access card 10 is inactive, and in the second position 112, the access card 10 is activated. This can be understood as follows: when the magnetic chip 12 is in the first position 111, the access card 10 is unusable; when the magnetic chip 12 slides to the second position 112, the access card 10 is activated and can be used normally.
[0069] The ticketing device 20 may include a ticketing machine base 21 and a first drive mechanism 22 disposed on the ticketing machine base 21 and capable of moving along the height direction of the ticketing machine base 12. The ticketing machine base 21 is provided with a first slot 211 for inserting the access card 10. The first drive mechanism 22 is located on one side of the first slot 211 and can attract the magnetic chip 12, thereby driving the magnetic chip 12 to move from the first position 111 to the second position 112.
[0070] It should be noted that the height direction of the ticket vending machine base 12 is consistent with the height direction of the housing 11.
[0071] The turnstile device 30 may include a ticket holder 31, an access control bar 32, and a second locking mechanism 33. The ticket holder 31 may be mounted on the turnstile housing and has a second slot 311 for inserting a access card 10. The access control bar 32 may be a three-bar structure, located on one side of the ticket holder 31 and capable of rotating relative to it, allowing visitors to pass through. The second locking mechanism 33 is located between the ticket holder 31 and the access control bar 32, on one side of the second slot 311, and corresponds to the magnetic chip 12 moved to the second position 112. The second locking mechanism 33 can move back and forth relative to the ticket holder 31 to lock or unlock the access control bar 32. Specifically, in the initial state, the second locking mechanism 33 moves forward relative to the ticket seat 31, thereby locking the access control lever 32 to restrict its rotation. When the activated access card 10 is inserted into the second slot 311, the magnetic chip 12, which has moved to the second position 112, can attract the second locking mechanism 33 to move backward relative to the ticket seat 31 to unlock the access control lever 32, allowing it to rotate freely.
[0072] It should be noted that, in the above text, the second locking mechanism 33 moving forward means moving towards the access control bar 32, and moving backward means moving away from the access control bar 32.
[0073] In this embodiment, the mechanical ticketing and inspection system can be applied to scenic areas where it is inconvenient to lay electricity. Tourists first purchase a pass 10 for the corresponding attraction at the ticket office. Staff insert the pass 10 into the ticket vending machine base 21. The first locking mechanism 13 unlocks the magnetic chip 12 inside the pass 10, allowing it to slide freely along the height of the housing 11. Then, the first driving mechanism 22 drives the magnetic chip 12 from the first position 111 on the housing 11 to the second position 112, activating the pass 10. After receiving the activated pass 10, the tourist inserts it into the second slot 311 on the gate device 30 of the corresponding attraction. The magnetic chip 12 on the pass 10 generates a magnetic attraction to the second locking mechanism 33, causing the second locking mechanism 33 to move away from the access control bar 32, thereby unlocking the access control bar 32 and allowing it to rotate freely for the tourist's passage. Therefore, the mechanical ticketing and ticket checking system of this application does not require an external power supply, which reduces power consumption, lowers operating costs, achieves the goal of energy conservation and environmental protection, avoids the problem of the ticketing and ticket checking system being unusable due to power failure, and can be applied to scenic spots where it is impossible to lay electricity, effectively improving the applicability of the system.
[0074] Please see Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments of this application, the magnetic chip 12 has a first locking part 121 on its side, and the first locking part 121 may be a tooth-shaped structure arranged along the height direction of the magnetic chip 12.
[0075] The first locking mechanism 13 may include a limiting rod 131 movably connected to the housing 11 and a driving rod 132 connected to the limiting rod 131. The limiting rod 131 is movably connected to the housing 11 and located on one side of the magnetic chip 12. The side of the limiting rod 131 near the magnetic chip 12 has a second locking part 1311 that engages with the first locking part 121. The second locking part 1311 may also be a toothed structure arranged along the height direction of the limiting rod 131. The driving rod 132 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 131. The driving rod 132 may be located at the bottom of the housing 11 and can slide along the height direction of the housing 11, thereby driving the limiting rod 131 to move, causing the second locking part 1311 to engage or disengage with the first locking part 121.
[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface of the housing 11 is provided with a guide groove 115, which can be inclined from top to bottom and toward the magnetic chip 12. A guide post 1312 is provided on the back of the limiting rod 131, and the guide post 1312 is slidably connected in the guide groove 115. When the driving rod 132 is pushed to move upward, the driving rod 132 will drive the limiting rod 131 to slide upward along the guide groove 115, thereby separating the second locking part 1311 from the first locking part 121, so as to unlock the magnetic chip 12.
[0077] Further, please see Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 9 In some embodiments of this application, to facilitate the movement of the drive rod 132, a groove 113 communicating with the inner cavity of the housing 11 is provided at the bottom of the housing 11, and a protrusion 212 adapted to the groove 113 is provided at the bottom of the first slot 211. When the access card 10 is inserted into the first slot 211, the protrusion 212 just abuts against the bottom of the drive rod 132, thereby pushing the drive rod 132 to move upward, causing the second locking part 1311 to separate from the first locking part 121, thereby unlocking the magnetic chip 12.
[0078] The first locking mechanism 13 may further include a spring 134, one end of which is connected to the top of the limiting rod 131 away from the drive rod 132, and the other end is connected to the housing 11. When the drive rod 132 is pushed upward, the limiting rod 131 compresses the spring 134. When the external force is removed, the spring 134 restores its elastic deformation and drives the limiting rod 131 to move downward and reset.
[0079] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3As shown, the first locking mechanism 13 may further include an abutment 133, which is located between the first position 111 and the second position 112. The abutment 133 may be a spring sheet installed on the other side of the magnetic chip 12 opposite to the limiting rod 131. It can deform along the length direction of the housing 11 and abut against the top or bottom of the magnetic chip 12, so that the magnetic chip 12 is held in the first position 111 or the second position 112.
[0080] Specifically, when the first driving mechanism 22 drives the magnetic chip 12 to slide, the magnetic chip 12 can exert a squeezing force on the abutment 13, causing the abutment 13 to compress and deform inward. When the magnetic chip 12 reaches the first position 111 or the second position 112, the abutment 13 restores its elastic deformation and abuts against the top or bottom of the magnetic chip 12, thereby limiting the height of the magnetic chip 12.
[0081] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments of this application, the first driving mechanism 22 may include a rotating wheel 221 and a lever 222. The rotating wheel 221 is rotatably connected to the ticket vending machine base 21 via a rotating shaft. A first magnetic element 2211, which attracts the magnetic chip 12, is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating wheel 221. Multiple first magnetic elements 2211 may be spaced apart around the circumferential surface of the rotating wheel 221. A ratchet 2212 may be provided on the side of the rotating wheel 221. The lever 222 may include a knob and a ratchet 2221 connected to the knob. The knob extends to the outside of the ticket vending machine base 21 for user convenience. The ratchet 2221 engages with the ratchet 2212. The lever 222 can move along the height direction of the ticket vending machine base 21, and through the cooperation of the ratchet 2221 and the ratchet 2212, it drives the rotating wheel 221 to rotate. Since the first magnetic element 2211 on the rotating wheel 221 generates a magnetic attraction with the magnetic chip 12 in the access card 10, the rotation of the rotating wheel 221 can drive the magnetic chip 12 to move from the first position 111 to the second position 112.
[0082] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 10 In some embodiments of this application, the side of the lever 222 is provided with at least two sets of limiting posts 2222. The at least two sets of limiting posts 2222 respectively abut against the inner wall and outer wall of the front side of the ticket vending machine base 21 to limit the lever 222 in the front-back direction, prevent the lever 222 from shaking back and forth, and thus avoid the ratchet 2221 and ratchet 2212 from being misaligned during the movement of the lever 222.
[0083] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments of this application, the access card 10 is provided with lock slots 114 on both sides, and the ticketing device 20 also includes a third locking mechanism 23 for locking or unlocking the access card 10.
[0084] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the third locking mechanism 23 may include a locking block 231 and a driving member 232. Two locking blocks 231 are provided, respectively installed on the left and right sides of the ticket vending machine base 21. One end of each locking block 231 is rotatably connected to the ticket vending machine base 21, and the other end has a hook 2311 extending into the first slot 211, which engages with the locking groove 114. One end of the driving member 232 extends to the outside of the ticket vending machine base 21, and the other end contacts the locking block 231. The driving member 232 can move along the height of the ticket vending machine base 21 to drive the locking block 231 to rotate, causing the hook 2311 to engage or disengage from the locking groove 114.
[0085] The driving component 232 includes a pressing block and a driving plate connected to the pressing block. The pressing block extends to the outside of the ticket vending machine base 21, and the driving plate is located inside the ticket vending machine base 21, with its two ends contacting the locking blocks 231 on both sides. When the pressing block is pressed down, it can drive the driving plate to move downward along the height direction of the ticket vending machine base 21, thereby forcing the locking blocks 231 to rotate.
[0086] For details, please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of this application, a stop post 2312 is provided on the side of the locking block 231. An inclined surface 2321 is provided on the side of the driving member 232, the inclined surface 2321 being inclined downwards and towards the inside of the driving member 232, and the bottom of the inclined surface 2321 abutting against the stop post 2312. When the driving member 232 is pressed downwards, the inclined surface 2321 exerts a compressive force on the stop post 2312, thereby forcing the locking block 231 to rotate away from the lock groove 114, thus unlocking the access card 10.
[0087] Furthermore, the third locking mechanism 23 may also include an elastic element 233, which may be a spring, and is disposed between the driving member 232 and the ticket vending machine base 21. When the driving member 232 is pressed down, the elastic element 233 is in a compressed state. When the external force is removed, the elastic element 233 restores its elastic deformation, driving the driving member 232 to move upward and reset.
[0088] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 As shown, a spring is also provided at the bottom of the first slot 211. When the access card 10 is inserted into the first slot 211, the spring is in a compressed state, and the third locking mechanism 23 locks the access card 10. When the third locking mechanism 23 unlocks the access card 10, the spring restores its elastic deformation and pushes the access card 10 upward, causing the access card 10 to pop out of the first slot 211.
[0089] Please see Figures 11 to 15In some embodiments of this application, the end face of the access control bar 32 facing the ticket gate 31 is provided with a lock hole 321, and multiple lock holes 321 can be arranged at intervals around the axis of the access control bar 32.
[0090] The second locking mechanism 33 may include a drive frame 331, a locking rod 332, and a second magnetic component 333. The drive frame 331 is mounted on the ticket holder 31 and can move back and forth relative to the ticket holder 31. The locking rod 332 is an arc-shaped rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the drive rod 331, and the other end is provided with a pin 3321 that mates with the lock hole 321. The second magnetic component 333 is mounted on the drive frame 331 and is located on one side of the second slot 311, corresponding to the second position 112 on the housing 11.
[0091] When the activated access card 10 is inserted into the second slot 311, the magnetic chip 12 attracts the second magnetic element 333, thereby causing the drive frame 331 to move the locking bar 332 away from the access control bar 32, so that the pin 3321 is disengaged from the lock hole 321, thereby unlocking the access control bar 32 and allowing the access control bar 32 to rotate freely.
[0092] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, multiple sets of magnetic chips 12 can be provided, and each set of magnetic chips 12 is provided with a first locking mechanism 13; the first driving mechanism 22 and the magnetic chips 12 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0093] By setting multiple sets of magnetic chips 12, which can be spaced apart along the length of the casing 11, each set of magnetic chips 12 can correspond to one attraction. Staff can activate the magnetic chip 12 corresponding to the attraction according to the tourist's needs. When a tourist needs to visit multiple attractions, the staff can activate all the magnetic chips 12 corresponding to the attractions on the access card 10 simultaneously. In this way, tourists only need to carry one access card 10 to visit multiple attractions, which is not only convenient to use but also effectively saves resources.
