Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an accumulator-collector device for ejecting coins, forming part of a device for distributing products or services. It applies in particular to the accumulation and collection of coins in public telephones.
  • the electromagnet controlling the passage of the parts must have a certain power, in the first case because the mobile assembly is fairly heavy and the movement has a certain amplitude, in the second case, because the response time of the electromagnet must be very short to position the stop between two pieces of the descending battery.
  • a rapid detector is required in the latter case.
  • the corresponding electrical power is relatively high compared to that necessary for the operation of the dispensing device. This poses a serious problem for the energy supply of public telephones for which connection to the public sector is not desired for reasons of economy and operational safety.
  • a control device acts on these electromagnets according to a sequence and a choice corresponding to the number of parts to be returned then to be cashed, two electromagnets being operated at each operation, the evacuations of the parts always being carried out in burst and with a minimum energy consumption.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback.
  • the stop is retracted on the order of the control means and the coins roll.
  • the latter can be taken out on the order of the control means and can thus eject the part through the window from the retracted position to the extended position in order to send this part to the body of the dispenser.
  • the next part then stops and the process can start again.
  • the stop is retracted and remains so that the parts to be returned roll up to the exit of the slide and reach a bowl for the return of parts.
  • control means be capable of delivering precise control pulses from the destocking member, which is the case if these control means include a microprocessor. Avoid using the latter if the device according to the invention further comprises at least one photoelectric barrier located downstream of the retractable stop to detect the passage of the parts and thus collect them correctly, as will be explained below. .
  • a second light barrier can also be placed upstream of the retractable stop to detect the presence of parts in the slide, as will be seen later.
  • the destocking member consists of an electromagnet with a plunger core acting as a retractable stop and sliding heels are arranged along the cheek against which the parts rest, in order to promote the sliding thereof.
  • the device according to the invention is therefore simpler than the devices of the prior art since it uses only one destocking member (preferably, an electromagnet), allowing, by means of a stop, both to stop the coins and to direct them to the cash register or to the return bowl of the dispensing device.
  • one destocking member preferably, an electromagnet
  • An electromagnet 9 (FIG. 2) with a plunger core 10 is mounted on the rear cheek 5 outside the slideway 3, on the part of this rear cheek 5 opposite the window 8.
  • the plunger core 10 is oriented perpendicularly cheeks 5 and 6 and its front end can pass into an orifice 11 made in the rear cheek 5.
  • This plunger core 10 constitutes a retractable stop for the parts 2.
  • Two light barriers 12 and 13 are arranged upstream and downstream of the stop 10, in the vicinity thereof, for detecting the passage of parts 2.
  • the dispensing device of which the device according to the invention forms part, further comprises control means of the type known in the prior art and not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the electromagnet 9 and the light barriers 12 and 13 are electrically connected to them.
  • These control means control the electromagnet 9. They can also provide accounting (that is to say, for example in the case of a telephone set, the comparison of the bit rate resulting from charging pulses coming from the telephone exchange and credit represented by coins already cashed).
  • coins validation bodies (not shown in Figures 1 and 2) are incorporated into the dispensing device.
  • the lower part 15 of the slide 3 emerges from a partition 14 towards the outside of the dispensing device so that the pieces 2 to be returned to the users of said device fall into a restoring bowl (not shown), and the pieces 2 ejected, as explained below, through window 8, reach the body (not shown) of the device.
  • the electromagnet 9 In the case of a return of all the coins 2 remaining in the slide 3, the electromagnet 9 is excited, the stop 10 retracts and the coins 2 roll towards the return bowl. When the first barrier 12 is no longer obscured, the electromagnet 9 is de-energized and the stop 10 returns to the extended position: the dispensing device is again ready to serve.
  • the collection process takes place in the manner indicated above for the coin (s) to be collected then the electromagnet 9 remains excited (in other words, the stop 10 remains retracted) to allow the coins 2 remaining in the slide 3 to roll until the output thereof towards the restoring bowl.
  • the electromagnet 9 is de-energized and the stop 10 returns to the extended position.
  • the accumulator-collector device can obviously accept coins of the same predetermined type.
  • the dispensing device of which this device is a part can then comprise "in parallel" as many such devices as there are types of coins to be received.
  • the device which is the subject of the invention can also accumulate and collect coins of different types arriving in bulk on the slide, provided that the dimensions of this device are adapted (length and width of the coin insertion slot, width of the raceway, height of the cheeks of the slide, position of the retractable stop and dimensions of said window) to those of the various parts to be received. Furthermore, the dispensing apparatus of which the device according to the invention forms part must then further comprise means of identifying and accounting for these pieces of different types, placed before the cash register of the dispensing apparatus.
  • the force required to eject a moving part into the slide is low (less than 50 gf), which allows the use of a reduced-size electromagnet (occupying a volume of 2 to 3 cm 3 ).
  • the accumulator collecting device that is the subject of the invention is simple to produce and does not require any precise adjustment, all the active elements (stop, possible light barriers) operating in all or nothing. Its dimensions are small and it is very easy to assemble in a device for distributing products or services. Its simplicity makes it a device with good operating safety and inexpensive.
