Description

Umlenkelement für Münzen Deflection element for coins
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Umlenkelement für Münzen zur Verwendung in einer Münzzähl- und/oder Münzsortiereinrichtung.The invention relates to a deflection element for coins for use in a coin counting and / or coin sorting device.
Ein Umlenkelement für Münzen der gattungsgemäßen Art ist aus der DE 3808159 AI vorbekannt. Dieses als Umlenkrolle ausgebildete Umlenkelement befindet sich am tangentialen Ausgang des Drehtellers einer Münzzähl- und Münzsortiereinrichtung, bei welcher die dem Drehteller zugeführten Münzen tangential in eine mit Elementen zur Münzerkennung versehene Führungsbahn gefördert werden. Die auf dem Drehteller zugeführten Münzen stoßen beim Austritt aus dem horizontal drehenden Münzteller in die tangential anschließende Führungsbahn gegen das Umlenkelement, das als Umlenkrolle oder Anlaufkugellager ausgebildet ist, um die Münzen in die Führungsbahn zu überführen. Nachteilig sind der Abrieb des Umlenkelementes durch die Münzen und der Lärm durch die auf das Umlenkelement auftreffenden Münzen. Nachteilig ist auch die Schlagbelastung, die von den Münzen über das regelmäßig metallische Umlenkelement auf das dieses tragende Kugellager ausgeübt wird. Diese Schlagbelastung führt langfristig zur Zerstörung des Kugellagers des Umlenkelementes.A deflection element for coins of the generic type is previously known from DE 3808159 AI. This deflection element, which is designed as a deflection roller, is located at the tangential output of the turntable of a coin counting and coin sorting device, in which the coins fed to the turntable are conveyed tangentially into a guideway provided with elements for coin recognition. The coins fed on the turntable collide with the deflecting element, which is designed as a deflecting roller or thrust ball bearing, in order to transfer the coins into the guideway when they exit the horizontally rotating coin plate into the tangentially adjoining guideway. The abrasion of the deflection element by the coins and the noise caused by the coins hitting the deflection element are disadvantageous. Another disadvantage is the impact load exerted by the coins on the ball bearing that carries them via the regularly metallic deflection element. In the long term, this impact load leads to the destruction of the ball bearing of the deflection element.
Der Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, dasThe invention is therefore based on the object
Umlenkelement für Münzen der gattungsgemäßen Art zu verbessern.To improve the deflection element for coins of the generic type.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung vor, dass das Umlenkelement aus elastischem Material gebildet und ortsfest montiert ist. Das elastische Material des Umlenkelementes ist beim Auftreffen der Münzen pulsschluk- kend und vermeidet Abrieb und Lärm. Da das Umlenkelement ortsfest, also nicht drehbar, montiert ist treten auch keine Beschädigungen durch eine Schlagbelastung auf. Das Material des Umlenkelementes ist Polyurethan, dessen Härte zwischen 70° und 90° Shore liegt. Das Umlenkelement hat in weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung die Form einer großen Scheibe, welche die Kontur des im Stand der Technik bekannten Umlenkelementes oder Anlaufkugellagers besitzt, und weist ferner eine in die große Scheibe teilweise eingreifende kleine Scheibe auf, so dass sich aufgrund der Ausbildung des einstückigen Umlenkelementes in Form einer Acht auch eine günstige Einklemmung des Umlenkelementes in einem Trägerteil ergibt. Die Dicke des Umlenkelementes entspricht etwa der- Dicke der größten zu sortierenden Münze. Schließlich ist das Umlenkelement in einem Trägerteil aus Keramik gehalten, das unmittelbar neben der Führungsbahn montiert ist und dessen eine, zur Führungsbahn gerichtete Kante die Führungskante für die Münzen beim Vor- beiführen an den Elementen der Münzenerkennungseinrichtung bildet .To achieve this object, the invention provides that the deflecting element is formed from elastic material and is mounted in a stationary manner. The elastic material of the The deflecting element is pulse-absorbing when the coins strike and prevents abrasion and noise. Since the deflecting element is fixed in place, that is to say cannot be rotated, there is also no damage caused by an impact load. The material of the deflection element is polyurethane, the hardness of which lies between 70 ° and 90 ° shore. In a further embodiment of the invention, the deflecting element has the shape of a large disk, which has the contour of the deflecting element or thrust ball bearing known in the prior art, and also has a small disk which engages partially in the large disk, so that due to the design of the one-piece Deflection element in the form of an eight also results in a favorable clamping of the deflection element in a carrier part. The thickness of the deflection element corresponds approximately to the thickness of the largest coin to be sorted. Finally, the deflecting element is held in a ceramic support part which is mounted directly next to the guideway and whose one edge directed towards the guideway forms the guiding edge for the coins when passing the elements of the coin recognition device.
Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand einer in der einzigen Figur dargestellten Ausführungsform näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt eine schematische Draufsicht auf einen Drehteller mit anschließender tangentialer Führungsbahn und einem Trägerteil nebst in diesem befindlichen Umlenkelement .The invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the single figure. The single figure shows a schematic plan view of a turntable with a subsequent tangential guideway and a support part together with the deflection element located therein.
Der in horizontaler Ebene um seine vertikale Achse 12 drehende Drehteller ist von einem ortsfesten Kragen 2 mit einer Austrittsöffung 13 für die Münzen 3 umgeben, welche auf eine tangential an den Drehteller 1 anschließende Führungsbahn 4 gefördert und dort mittels Elementen der Münzenerkennung 5 bis 8 in ihrer Wertigkeit erkannt werden. Die Weiterförderung der Münzen 3 zu einer anschließenden Münzsortiereinrichtung ist nicht dargestellt.The rotating plate rotating in the horizontal plane about its vertical axis 12 is surrounded by a fixed collar 2 with an outlet opening 13 for the coins 3, which is tangential to the rotating plate 1 Guide track 4 promoted and there recognized by elements of coin recognition 5 to 8 in their value. The further conveyance of the coins 3 to a subsequent coin sorting device is not shown.
Unmittelbar neben der tangentialen Führungsbahn 4 befindet sich ein länglich rechteckiges Trägerteil 9 aus Keramik, welches an seinem zur Austrittsöffnung 13 weisenden Ende ein Umlenkelement 10 aus elastischem Material trägt und entlang der tangentialen Führungsbahn eine Führungskante 11 für die Münzen 3 bildet.Immediately next to the tangential guideway 4 is an elongated rectangular support part 9 made of ceramic, which carries a deflection element 10 made of elastic material at its end facing the outlet opening 13 and forms a guiding edge 11 for the coins 3 along the tangential guideway.
Das elastische Umlenkelement 10 ist teilweise formschlüs- sig in das Trägerteil 9 aus Keramik ortsfest in Bezug auf die Achse 12 des Drehtellers' 1 und die tangentiale Führungsbahn 4 für die Münzen 3 montiert. Es besteht aus Polyurethan der Härte zwischen 70° und 90° Shore. Das Umlenkelement 10 hat in der Draufsicht die Form einer großen Scheibe und einer in diese teilweise eingreifenden kleinen Scheibe, wobei das einstückige, elastische Umlenkelement 10 in der Draufsicht eine Acht bildet. Die Dicke des elastischen Umlenkelementes 10 entspricht etwa der Dicke der größten zu sortierenden Münze 3. Das elastische Umlenkelement 10 aus Polyurethan ist pulsschluckend im Hinblick auf das ständige Aufschlagen von Münzen 3 beim Eintritt in die tangentiale Führungsbahn 4. Es vermeidet Abrieb und Lärm, zumal die Schlagbelastung der Münzen 3 auf das elastische Umlenkelement 10 zu keiner Schlagbelastung eines im Stand der Technik verwendeten Kugellagers für das Umlenkelement hervorruft. Das elastische Umlenkelement 10 ersetzt die im Stand der Technik bekannte Umlenkrolle bzw. das Anlaufkuggellager . Das Trägerteil 9 besteht aus gängiger Industrie-Keramik bzw. aus einer Keramik mit Kunststoff, insbesondere ausThe elastic deflection element 10 is partially assembled form fit sig in the support part 9 of ceramic stationary with respect to the axis 12 of the rotary disk 1 'and the tangential guide path 4 for the coins. 3 It consists of polyurethane with a hardness between 70 ° and 90 ° shore. In the top view, the deflection element 10 has the shape of a large disk and a small disk partially engaging in it, the one-piece, elastic deflection element 10 forming an eight in the top view. The thickness of the elastic deflecting element 10 corresponds approximately to the thickness of the largest coin to be sorted 3. The elastic deflecting element 10 made of polyurethane is pulse-absorbing with regard to the constant opening of coins 3 when entering the tangential guideway 4. It avoids abrasion and noise, especially since Impact loading of the coins 3 on the elastic deflection element 10 does not cause any impact loading of a ball bearing used in the prior art for the deflection element. The elastic deflection element 10 replaces the deflection roller or the thrust ball bearing known in the prior art. The carrier part 9 consists of common industrial ceramics or of a ceramic with plastic, in particular
