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 telephone apparatus.
  • dispenser devices allow users to introduce different types of coins in variable numbers, at their convenience.
  • the inserted coins are stored and then cashed at characteristic times and those which have not been used are returned.
  • 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 telephone apparatuses 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 taking place in bursts and with a minimum energy consumption.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback.
  • DE-A-2 055 133 discloses a coin control device, slide with opening.
  • a window is arranged in the other cheek of the slide and that the destocking member is designed to actuate, on the order of said control means, a retractable stop output at rest so as to stop the parts contained in the slide and arranged so as to be able to eject, by passing from the retracted position to the extended position, parts through the window in order to collect them.
  • 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.
  • the control means be capable of delivering precise control pulses from the destocking member, which is the case if these means of controls include a microprocessor.
  • the device according to the invention also comprises at least one photoelectric barrier situated downstream of the retractable stop to detect the passage of the parts and thus collect them correctly, as is 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 plunging core acting as a retractable stop and sliding heels are arranged along the cheek against which the pieces rest, in order to favor the sliding of these.
  • the device according to the invention is therefore simpler than the devices of the prior art since it only uses a single destocking member (preferably, an electromagnet), allowing, via a stop, both to stop the coins and to direct them to the cash register or to the return bowl of the dispensing device.
  • a single destocking member preferably, an electromagnet
  • the device for accumulating and collecting coins with ejection comprises, at its inlet E, a slot 1 for introducing coins 2 and, following this slot 1, a slide 3 formed by two parallel cheeks 5 and 6 and a rolling track 4 descending and inclined at an acute angle a of the order of 20 to 30 ° relative to a horizontal plane H.
  • the cheeks 5 and 6 of the slide 3 are themselves inclined at an acute angle fJ (FIG. 2) of the order of 5 to 7 ° relative to a vertical plane V, which causes the pieces 2 to rest against one of the cheeks , called rear cheek 5, along which are arranged sliding heels 7 intended to promote the sliding of the parts 2.
  • This inclination of an angle f J therefore makes it possible to remove part of the other cheek 6, called front cheek , in the lower part of the slide 3, to arrange a window 8 there.
  • 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 to the cheeks 5 and 6 and its front end can pass through an orifice 11 formed 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 the 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 flow rate resulting from charging pulses pro from the telephone exchange and the credit represented by the 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 inside 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 exit of the latter- towards the bowl of restitution.
  • 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 apparatus 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 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 fource required to eject a moving part in the slide is low (less than 50 gf), which allows the use of a reduced size electromagnet (occupying a volume of 2 to 3 c m3) .
  • 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 mount in a product or service distributor. Its simplicity makes it a device with good operating safety and inexpensive.
