Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the coins are issued relatively slowly since the slide has to be moved back and forth for each coin. Since the dispenser has to be adjusted very precisely to the respective coin thickness, even slightly curved coins can cause considerable difficulties in dispensing. A factor to be taken into account when dispensing is also the weight of the coin column, which can fluctuate greatly depending on the number of coins in the shaft. Furthermore, special buffers are required if the coins that were last entered are to be issued when a coin is returned.
  • the problems mentioned are avoided in a self-cashier or money changer disclosed by DE-A-2 752 313, in which the coin magazine has a rotatably mounted ring for each coin type, at least approximately radial compartments distributed uniformly over the ring circumference, between a flat circular ring protruding compartment walls are formed and each receive a coin, an input channel output, a return channel input and the input of an overflow channel connecting to each fan ring.
  • the exit and the two entrances are each offset by a division of the wreath. To fill the wreath with coins, it is rotated in one direction, while the stored coins are dispensed by rotating in the other direction.
  • the device can be seriously damaged if the compartment ring moves ahead prematurely.
  • the coins cannot be entered in a continuous sequence, but only one coin can be added after each step of the fan ring, since otherwise there is also the risk of the fan ring being blocked by a jammed coin. For this reason, the coins can only be inserted and dispensed relatively slowly.
  • considerable demands must be placed on the accuracy of the known device, since the compartments in the input or output position must be exactly aligned with the assigned channel inputs or the channel output. Since the fan or channel width corresponds to the width of the respective coins, that is to say is very small, the mutual alignment must be carried out with high precision. Even a small intent can make input or output difficult or even impossible.
  • a coin storage and return device is known from DE-B-2 142 193, which is provided with an annular coin magazine connected to a coin channel and with driving elements.
  • the driver elements between which a coin can be arranged, can be rotated forwards or backwards step by step for storing and returning coins.
  • the coin magazine consists of a chamber with a guide for the coins formed on one side by a helical groove. At one end of this guide there is a slot which serves as an entry and exit opening for the coins.
  • DE-B-2 353 158 describes a coin store with a helical channel known.
  • some of the coins are located in the channel and are held at the same distance from one another in the circumferential direction of the coil by guide means.
  • These guide means are rotatable about the axis of the helix and, depending on the acceptance or return of a coin, are gradually rotated forwards or backwards by a division adapted to the coins.
  • At the beginning of the channel there is an input and output slot offset from one another by a division and at the end of the channel a cashier slot is provided.
  • the channel is arranged on the inside of a cylinder ring and the guide means consist of individual lamellae arranged in a circular path parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder ring.
  • the coins are thus only guided on one side within the channel, namely on the outer side, starting from the axis of the cylinder ring, in the radial direction.
  • the channel depth is selected to be greater than the coin radius.
  • the lamellae which cause the coins to be carried along can thus only act on the upper region of the coins.
  • the coins are each clamped between the assigned lamella and the channel floor, so that they cannot roll freely, but slide along the channel floor when the lamellae move in a circle.
  • the preferably square device has a front plate 1 and a rear plate 2. Between them there is a fixed outer cylindrical shell 3 and a concentric inner cylindrical shell 4.
  • the outer shell 3 has a helical groove 5 on its inner surface, which is extends between the two plates 1 and 2.
  • the inner shell 4 carries on its outer surface a groove 6 formed in the same way.
  • the grooves 5 and 6 face each other so that an object 7 arranged between the shells 3 and 4, for example a coin, is held in a vertical position by these grooves .
  • a rotor 8 is rotatably held in the inner casing 4.
  • the rotor 8 is guided past the inner shell 4 adjacent to the rear plate 2. It carries in the area between the jackets 3 and 4 into the space between them lamellae 9.
  • the distance between the individual lamellae in the circumferential direction is slightly larger than the diameter of the objects to be picked up.
  • the slats 9 thus create compartments in the circumferential direction for receiving one object each.
  • the helical arrangement of the grooves 5 and 6 in the shells 3 and 4 causes that in the direction of the axis of rotation of the rotor 8 between two adjacent lamellae 9 there are several compartments one behind the other for receiving one object each.
  • a motor 10 is provided for driving the rotor 8 in the interior space formed by it. Via a gear 11, this engages in an internal toothing 12 of the rotor 8.
  • the motor 10 and the transmission 11 are not shown in FIG. 2 for reasons of clarity.
  • the motor 10 is controlled in a suitable manner in order to carry out the storing or dispensing processes. This control can be carried out, for example, in a known manner by a test device (not shown), which checks the objects entered, determines their value, if necessary, routes them to the corresponding storage device and then controls the storage process by means of a corresponding control of the motor 10. If a desired number of objects are to be output, the motor 10 also receives a corresponding control signal.
  • the motor 10 also works together with a photoelectric scanning device, not shown, which detects marks made on the rotor 8 when it rotates. In this way, the rotary movement and the respective position of the rotor can be controlled in the desired manner.
  • the motor 10 and the transmission 11 are designed so that they are within the Plates 1 and 2 formed room are. It is therefore possible to arrange a large number of the devices shown one behind the other in the axial direction of the rotor. Each of these devices is preferably provided with its own drive.
  • an opening 13 is provided for the input at the top. This is slit-shaped, with its longitudinal direction parallel to the plate 1. An object inserted through the opening 13 falls into the leftmost compartment shown in FIG. 2, which is formed by the two slats 9 located just below this opening.
  • the control of the rotor 8 is carried out in such a way that after an object 7 has been entered, it is always rotated by one compartment division, so that there is always a free compartment under the opening 13.
  • This dispensing channel extends from the opening 14 in a curved shape to the lower edge of the plate 1.
  • the opening 14 lies in the same plane as the opening 13. It causes an object to be in the leftmost compartment just above the opening 14 2 is passed through its weight into the discharge channel 15.
  • the openings 13 and 14 are offset from one another in the direction of rotation by less than one division; however, to the extent that an object entered through the opening 13 cannot be passed through the opening 14 into the dispensing channel 15 without additional rotation of the rotor 8.
  • an overflow channel 16 is formed by the outer jacket 3 in the lower region of the device, which connects the outermost right compartment, which is currently in the region of this channel, to an overflow opening on the underside of the device shown.
  • the plane of the discharge channel 15 is parallel to the plates 1 and 2.
  • the device operates as follows: To enter an object 7, the rotor 8 is rotated clockwise in the illustration shown in FIG. 1. The objects are simultaneously entered through the opening 13. If several objects 7 are entered one after the other, then the rotor 8 rotates by a corresponding number of compartment divisions without having to be stopped in order to enter the individual objects. In this way, a very fast entry in a continuous sequence is possible, in which an individual feeding of the objects is not necessary.
  • the control of the rotor 8 is carried out in such a way that after the last object has been input, it is rotated further by one division so that there is always a free compartment below the opening 13.
  • the rotor 8 is rotated counterclockwise to dispense objects.
  • the compartments guided past the opening 14 and immediately adjacent to the plate 1 are emptied.
  • the objects 7 fall out of the respective compartment during rotation, so that stopping the rotor 8 is not necessary here either.
  • the device is filled, i.e. if all subjects are occupied in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction, then a further entry, i.e. when the rotor 8 rotates clockwise, the objects located in the compartments which are guided directly past the overflow channel 16 are output via this channel.
  • the output takes place without additional control means during the rotation of the rotor 8.
  • the input and output is thus carried out in an extremely simple manner only by correspondingly controlled rotation of the rotor 8.
  • the objects 7 fall into or out of the respective compartments during the rotational movement, so that a gradual movement of the rotor 8 from compartment to compartment does not is required. Therefore, the input and output operations are carried out at high speed.
  • the driving force required for the rotor 8 is very low, so that the motor 10 can be very small. Since the objects 7 roll on the surface on which they are supported during the rotation of the rotor 8, the force required to transport them is extremely low.
  • the photoelectric scanning device it is possible to automatically move the device into a basic position after a power failure. Normal operation can thus be restarted automatically after an interruption in the power supply.
  • a pawl which can be actuated by an electromagnet can also be used to drive the rotor.
  • the storage device shown is very compact and, due to its shape, suitable for a slide-in technique. Several of these devices are preferably arranged directly next to one another, the front plate 1 of one device and the rear plate 2 of the adjacent device being directly adjacent to one another. Each device is then preferably provided for storing a specific type of coin. The plug connection between a device and the common control device can be coded accordingly, so that the devices can be interchanged in any way. Should be different coins in different a large number can be stored, a different number of storage devices can also be used for the respective coin types.
  • a fill level detection device can be connected to the storage device, which recognizes the coins that have been input and output and that forms the difference between the respective count values.
  • the storage device is not only suitable for round, but also for polygonal objects and provided with an approximately round shape.
