Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for temporarily storing coins of different values before transferring them into the memory of an automatic teller machine for the sale of goods or services with a coin slot.
- Cash machines are known for the sale of goods or services, which accept the respective purchase price in the form of coins of different values. In the event that the purchase price is not paid in full, the amount of money received by the automated teller machine must be returned. In the event of overpayments, it is necessary to return the difference by coins from the coin store. Cash machines of this type are known.
- the known automated teller machines have various disadvantages. On the one hand, they have a complicated mechanical structure when space is required. On the other hand, the functional sequence taking place in the known automated teller machines enables coins of foreign currency that have passed the coin validator to be taken in and, by pressing the money return button, to be converted into coins of the respective national currency, which have a higher value overall.
- the invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the known devices and to provide a simple and reliable device with high storage capacity with a small footprint, in which the coins deposited are always returned in the case of money return, so that manipulation with wrong coins is excluded will.
- the solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that the insertion slot is followed by a transport screw with a selector lever which, from a central position holding the inserted coins of a payment process on one side of the transport screw, either in a return position releasing the coins for return or in one the coins can be pivoted to the cashier position, which transfers them to the other side of the screw conveyor, from which the coins arrive sorted in the downstream storage shafts.
- the transport screw according to the invention not only serves as a buffer for coins to be returned in a payment process, but also as a store for coins that have already been collected and which, after the payment process has been completed, have previously been transferred to the cashier position on the other side of the transport screw by means of the selector lever. In this way, the transport screw is transformed from the pure transport member to a storage device which can be both returned and already collected.
- this storage element in the form of a screw results in a high storage volume in the smallest space, since the coins of different values only lie close together, separated by the spiral of the transport screw. Since only a rotary drive of the screw conveyor in one direction is required to transport the coins and only a pivoting of the selector lever is required for returning or collecting the coins, this also results in a structurally simple and thus functionally reliable construction of the device.
- the transport screw can be driven in one direction of rotation by at least one full revolution by an electric motor which can be switched on by inserting a coin into the insertion slot, for example by means of a counting coil, and can be switched off when the insertion slot is empty, for example by means of a photo cell is.
- a clock lever can be arranged in the insertion slot which lifts the coin located in the first screw flight of the transport screw and in the area of this first screw flight of the transport screw transports it to the other side of the core diameter and to the system on the selector lever.
- a simple construction was thus also found for initiating the transport process and for clearing the insertion slot.
- On the side of the screw conveyor facing away from the selector lever at least one guide rod for the coins transferred from the selector lever to the cashier position is preferably arranged, along which the collected coins are guided up to the end of the screw conveyor.
- a sorting screw is arranged parallel to the transport screw, which is also driven by the electric motor and which carries the coins collected from the last one
- the worm gear can be fed to the screw conveyor.
- a fixed sorting comb is assigned to this sorting screw, below which several storage shafts for coins of the same value are arranged.
- the selector lever can be pivoted out of the central position by means of a drive motor running in both directions of rotation by means of a crank mechanism.
- the respective swivel movement is either by pressing the money return button or by a timer initiated, which causes its completion after proper checkout.
- a coin return chute is located below the selector lever and the screw conveyor for reliable return of coins to be returned.
- the device according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that it can be arranged as a complete, replaceable unit in the automated teller machine, so that there are low installation and maintenance costs.
- the device has two end walls 1 and 2 and an intermediate wall 3 which are firmly connected to one another by means of four support rods 4.
- a clockwise increasing screw conveyor 5 and a counterclockwise increasing screw conveyor 6 are rotatably mounted parallel to each other.
- FIG. 1 also shows an insertion slot 12, in which a clock lever 13 is arranged.
- This clock lever 13 is attached to a shaft 14 which is pivotable by a cam lever 15. The movement of this cam lever 15 takes place via a roller 16 through a cam disk 17 which is attached to the shaft 7.
- the selector lever 19 is attached to the end of two lever arms 20 which are connected to one another by a connecting shaft 21.
- This connecting shaft 21 is driven in the form of a pivoting movement via a link lever 22 and a crank lever 23 through the crank pin 24 of a drive motor 25 running in both directions of rotation.
- This drive of the selector lever 19 can best be seen in FIG. 5.
- a light barrier 26 is arranged to control the drive motor 25.
- the selector lever 19 serves on the one hand to return the coins M stored in an intermediate position as long as they are in the position shown in FIG. 3.
- the selector lever 19 is pivoted clockwise from the central position shown in FIG. 3.
- This so-called return position is indicated in Fig. 5.
- This figure shows that when the selector lever 19 is pivoted into the return position, the coins M lying in the screw flights of the transport screw 5 can leave the device via a coin return slide 27.
- the selector lever 19 is pivoted counterclockwise from the central position shown in FIG. 3 into its so-called cashier position, which is shown in FIG. 6. During this pivoting movement, the selector lever 19 lifts the coins M beyond the core diameter of the screw conveyor 5 to the other side, on which they are held by two guide rods 28a and 28b in the exemplary embodiment shown.
- the arrangement of two guide rods 28a and 28b has therefore been made in order to safely guide the coins with the largest and the smallest diameter.
- the screw conveyor 5 Since the screw conveyor 5 is always driven by the electric motor 11 in one direction of rotation, the coins M collected each time the screw conveyor 5 rotates by the amount of an incline of the screw conveyor 5 in the direction of the end wall 2. As soon as they have reached this end wall 2, they fall through a slot formed between the end wall 2 and the two guide rods 28a and 28b into the first screw flight of the sorting screw 6 lying diagonally underneath. As a result of the drive described at the beginning, this sorting screw 6 has a transport direction opposite to the transport screw 5, which leads to the fact that in its Coins M located in worm threads are conveyed from the end wall 2 in the direction of the end wall 1.
- the coins M slide along a fixed sorting comb 29, which is stepped in order to feed the coins of a certain value, starting with the coin of the smallest diameter, to a storage shaft which is located below the sorting comb 29.
- these storage bays are not shown in the drawing. Their structure can be found, for example, in DE-A-2642363.
- the one tested in a coin validator and for good found coin M is fed to the insertion slot 12 and registered by the counting coil 18.
- the coin M rolls into the first worm gear of the transport screw 5 via the clock lever 13 arranged in the insertion slot 12. Since the counting coil 18 switches on the electric motor 11 when the coin M is registered, the clock lever 13 lifts the coin M lying in the first worm gear of the transport worm 5 and transports them over the core diameter of the screw conveyor 5 to the other side, on which it comes to rest against the selector lever 19 located in the middle position. Because the electric motor 11 also drives the transport screw 5 at the same time as the clock lever 13, the coin M enters the second screw flight, so that the first screw flight of the transport screw 5 is free for the insertion of a subsequent coin.
- the electric motor 11 is switched off, for example, by a photocell 30 (see FIG. 3) as soon as the screw conveyor 5 has made a full revolution; after a full revolution, the stroke 13 has also returned to its starting position.
- the coins automatically get into the screw passages of the sorting screw 6 due to the subsequent deposit of further coins in the manner described above, as a result of which they move from the end wall 2 in the direction of the end wall 1 and at the same time are sorted by the sorting comb 29 and in the sorting comb 29 assigned storage shafts be transferred.
