Abstract

The present invention relates to a deposit lock which includes a checking element and a key holding element, the checking element controls the diameter of one inserted deposit component according to the available value, wherein the holding element releases the key when the value is obtained.

Description

Deposit lock
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of deposit lock, it has a check element and a locking element that is used for key for cash pledge.
Background technology
This type of deposit lock for example, is known in EP 1035523 A2.Such deposit lock for example, is used for shopping cart, and these shopping carts connect mutually through a kind of theft-resistant link chain, and this theft-resistant link chain links to each other with key parking under the state.Allow to use this shopping cart, must be with a cash pledge element, for example one piece of cash pledge coin inserts and is somebody's turn to do in the lock.
These cash pledge coins are different on face amount and size.Usually, the coin value that less coin is bigger is low.
Under the situation of known lock, the cash pledge coin that must insert one piece of predetermined face amount could discharge this key.
In the prior art of being quoted, admissible largest coins diameter is checked through an interpolation slit with the coin diameter coupling of predesignating, and the size of this interpolation slit can prevent to insert the coin of diameter greater than the allowed maximum gauge of appointment.Except this maximal value check, can also in deposit lock, check the diameter of this cash pledge coin, to confirm that whether this diameter is less than a minimum value of predesignating.
In this case, be in lock, the minimum value of this coin diameter to be tested as follows: the one side at this coin edge leans on a fixed guide, and the opposite face at this coin edge carries out record by a scanning element.Meet the minimum diameter of predesignating if this coin has, then scanning element is opened the opener of key.
Have been found that at present known lock can also be opened by less thereby coin that face amount is lower through grasping the lane.At first will insert the interpolation slit of this deposit lock than the part of minor coin, then through on direction of insertion, laterally move the coin that has inserted simulate one bigger thereby be correct diameter.This has just opened this deposit lock.
In order to make this behaviour do to be difficult to more carry out, use the scanning element of two runnings that are mutually independent to check the diameter in the deposit lock such as deposit lock known in DE 19917391 A1.The different facial at these scanning elements record coin edges, the minimum diameter spontaneously this coin inspection predesignated of each scanning element then.One piece of less coin can only be through the one piece of correct coin of simulation on that laterally moves in two scanning elements in the enclosure, so this just might prevent that this lock is opened.But the shortcoming of this scheme is to have increased number of parts, because the scanning element of twice is arranged.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of deposit lock, use therein with specifying the different coin of coin and open more difficulty of this lock, also the quantity of the maintenance part that uses is seldom simultaneously.
This purpose realizes through the theme that principal right requires, and dependent claims relates to favourable improvement of the present invention and/or further development.
Cause that producing Consideration of the present invention is based on such idea: if the diameter of can only the single scanning element in this lock having checked the coin that has inserted with judge this diameter whether less than or greater than predetermined value in just can discharge theft-resistant link chain, this raising that prevents to grasp the lane just is provided security.So, have only when finding that this diameter both had been not less than when also being not more than predetermined diameter, just can untie this theft-resistant link chain.Only simulating this strict scope that limits through the coin in laterally mobile this deposit lock can have any problem.Simultaneously, scanning element is enough to confirm this diameter whether in the scope of this value, thereby the quantity that advantageously keeps necessary part seldom.
Because all checks all carry out in this lock, so needn't test the again function of maximum gauge of this interpolation slit.Possibly advantageously use the interpolation slit of a standard, and needn't use different interpolation slits, and each interpolation slit and a specific coin diameter are complementary.This has advantageously simplified part management.Now, the lock of different coins only there are differences in the single scanning element configuration in lock.
Description of drawings
Hereinafter is explained a possible exemplary of the present invention in further detail with reference to accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 illustrates the inside of the lock that contains one piece of coin with the mode of diagrammatic cross-section from the top,
Fig. 2 illustrates lock shown in Figure 1 with a side view along II-II line section,
Fig. 3 illustrates the view that scanning element is activated among Fig. 1,
Fig. 4 illustrate the excessive situation of coin among Fig. 1 and
Fig. 5 illustrates the too small situation of coin among Fig. 1.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates the shell 1 of the lock that lid opens.From clear reason, the zone of in the shell 1 this coin 2 being tested only is shown.Provide a scanning element 3 to check the diameter of this coin 2.Insertion coin 2 corresponding with predetermined diameter can further advance along direction of insertion, and the key of a mechanism opening through not showing among the figure does not show here equally then.
In order to explain this method of operating, will be with reference to schematic cross-section shown in Figure 2 and Fig. 1.This scanning element 3 comes down to flat and an outstanding downwards bolt 4 is arranged.This bolt stretches into an elongated pore 5 that is arranged in shell 1.
For its this respect, this scanning element 3 has a groove 6.The shape of this groove 6 is corresponding to an elongated pore, and on 1 an one of which long limit, another side groove 7 arranged.A bolt 8 puts in this groove 6 from shell 1.This scanning element 3 is against on the coin 2 outer peripheral sides by a spring 9, and the other offside of this coin outward flange rests on the guiding piece 10.The longitudinal axis that passes this elongated pore 5 is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the regional 6a of groove 6 and 6b, and these two zones are similar elongated pores.
This scanning element 3 is to confirm that by the shape of this elongated pore 5 and each zone of groove 6 zone of groove 6 is that similar elongated pore and bolt 4 and 8 are placed in wherein with respect to shell 1 moving freely in the x-y direction.
The freedom that should move mainly just is provided on the x direction, because on most of positions, this scanning element 3 can adopt 2 positions.If in this lock, place one piece of coin that correct diameter is arranged, like Fig. 1, shown in 2 and 3, then this bolt 8 is positioned the offside of side groove 7 exactly.If now this coin is further pushed in the lock, through letting bolt 8 approaching side grooves 7 and let scanning element 3 pivot around bolt 4, then this scanning element can also have moving of a y-component.The mechanism that this pivoting action has started downstream discharges key.
Fig. 4 illustrates one piece of situation that coin 2a is too small now.This bolt 8 is arranged in the regional 6a of groove 6, and this zone is similar to an elongated pore.Can not pivot.
When inserting one piece of excessive coin 2b, also kindred circumstances can take place.In this case, this bolt 8 is arranged in the regional 6b of groove 6, and this zone is similar to an elongated pore, and scanning element 3 still can not pivot in this case.
Explains that as diagram the present invention means advantageously to have only when this scanning element 3 and be accurately positioned when this bolt 8 and side groove 7 are accurately relative that the ability that moves pivotally is possible with related description.Difference between the width of this groove 7 and the thickness of bolt is more little, and then the tolerance to coin diameter is just more little.
Under the situation that attempt behaviour does; Wherein then attempt using one piece of less coin to remove lock; Grasping the difficult problem that the people of lane will face at first is to use one piece of minor coin 2a that this scanning element 3 is moved to the accurate position on the x direction; Along the y direction this coin is further pushed in the lock then, but the while must not change the x position of this scanning element.
In addition, the people that the acting force of this spring 9 is grasped the lane with obstruction attempts carrying out this type of misuse, because this always pushes the position that can't open lock with this scanning element 3.
In one of the present invention was further optimized, this was not shown in the drawings, might define two or more different values to an effective coin diameter.
For this purpose, a plurality of side grooves that are similar to this groove 7 must be provided.For example, can be this elongated pore 5 the opposite side groove is provided.Now, when this bolt 4 is relative with the groove that adds, also can open this lock.
So can use different coins to open this lock, thereby improve user's convenience, need not the effective diameter of a particular range.This type of scope makes the people who grasps the lane more easily use one piece of less coin to open lock.According to the present invention, in fact do not have this type of scope, thereby advantageously make behaviour do difficulty more.
As long as under any circumstance there are article in certain time, can supply the user to use, and the face amount of the cash pledge coin article that are intended to encourage this user will lend him return a predetermined position of giving back, and just can use according to deposit lock of the present invention.
