Definitions

  • the invention relates to a separating device for coins according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • This is used for double coins, ie. H. in the case of thin coins placed two or three times one above the other, push the upper coin or the upper coins off the lower coin.
  • double coins can indeed pass the first coin stripper arm if their total thickness is less than the thickness of the thickest coin.
  • the second coin stripper arm must ensure that double coins are separated with certainty.
  • the second coin stripper arm is pivotably arranged above the coin plate and is formed from two spring parts that act under spring action.
  • the second coin stripper arm is complex and expensive to manufacture, in particular a complex adjustment of the second coin stripper arm is necessary. This must be designed differently for each coin collective and adapted to this. It has also been shown that the second coin stripper arm wears out easily and jams
  • the coin plate is structurally modified in such a way that it has an inner plate and an outer plate with an annular boundary wall located therebetween. This has a height that is slightly smaller than the thickness of the coins to be separated. Double coins on the inner plate are thrown outwards onto the outer plate by the centrifugal force of the coin plate. The separated coins are removed from the inner plate by means of an elaborate, bridge-like coin transfer, the coin transfer bridging the outer plate. After the coin transfer, the coins are returned from the outer plate to the inner plate by means of a guide body.
  • the capacity of the coin plate is also limited, and if the outer plate is overfilled, double coins can no longer be flung from the inner plate to the outside. Furthermore, the bridge-like Coins transfer is complex, especially since the home must be listed l ente serial structurally complex this.
  • DE 21 20 353 discloses a non-generic separating device for coins, in which the coins withdrawn from the coin plate behind the first coin stripping arm by means of a first conveyor belt are guided against the guide rail of the guideway and are taken over there by a second conveyor belt assigned to the guideway.
  • a flat step is formed in the guide rail, the height of which is approximately equal to half the height of the thinnest coin.
  • a dropout opening is provided outside the guardrail.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a separating device of the generic type in such a way that a separation of double coins on the coin plate is possible with low construction costs and components that are as simple to manufacture as possible, in particular unsorted mixed coins of several coin collectives, i.e. H. Coins of different diameters and thicknesses can be separated.
  • the narrow and thin guide finger arranged directly above the coin plate guides in each case remove the lower coin and feed it to the inlet into the guideway, whereas the upper coins are conveyed further on the coin plate in the direction of movement of the coin plate by means of the second conveyor belt arranged above it.
  • the thickness of the guide finger is smaller than the thickness of the thinnest coin and is in particular about 1 mm.
  • the guide finger is made of high-strength, wear-resistant steel sheet.
  • the guide finger is preferably directed at an acute angle against the radius of the coin plate in the direction of the inlet and is designed as an angled extension of the guide rail of the guideway. This enables the coins to be conveniently derived from the coin plate by means of the guide finger, as a result of which the coins are simultaneously conveyed to the guide rail of the guideway.
  • the coin separating device comprises a frame 1 with a base plate 2 as the top.
  • a horizontal coin plate 3 with an axis 4 perpendicular to the drawing plane of FIG. 1 is rotatably mounted on this in the plane of the base plate 2 in the direction of the arrow 5 and is surrounded by a plate collar 6 fixedly attached to the base plate 2 and having a recess in the area of the inlet 7 includes in the guideway 8.
  • a conveyor belt 12 extends along the guideway 8 at a small angle against the guiding edge 9 of a guide rail 10 for the coins 11, which conveyor belt is guided in the region of the inlet 7 into the guideway 8 around a deflection roller 13 which can be pivoted on one above the base plate 2 hinged, not shown bracket is stored.
  • a coin wiper arm 14 which is adjustable in height but is fixed during operation, extends above the coin plate 3, the lower edge 14 'of which is arranged at a distance from the surface of the coin plate 3 which is somewhat larger than that Thickness of the thickest coin 11.
  • the coin stripper arm 14 runs essentially parallel to the guide track 8. It has a guide plate 14 ′′ for forming a guide channel which ends shortly before a coin guide nose 6 ′ which is approximately aligned with the guide edge 9.
  • a second coin stripper arm 15 is arranged between the first coin stripper arm 14 and the inlet 7 into the guideway 8.
  • This is designed as a narrow and thin guide finger 16, the thickness of which is smaller than the thickness of the thinnest coin 11, the thickness of the guide finger 16 preferably being approximately 1 mm.
  • the guide finger 16 is arranged directly above the coin plate 3 and is formed as an extension of the guide rail 10 of the guideway 8.
  • the guide finger 16 projects essentially radially over the coin plate 3, but preferably at an acute angle ⁇ against the radius of the coin plate 3, the guide finger 16 being pivoted by the angle ⁇ in the direction of the egg run 7 of the guide track 8.
  • the guide finger 16 is fixedly attached to the guide rail 10, its front edge 17 merges directly into the guide edge 9 for the coins 11.
  • the free end of the guide finger 16 protrudes approximately below the first coin stripper arm 14. Immediately below the guide finger 16, the coin plate 3 runs freely beneath it. Above the guide finger 16, a second conveyor belt 18 is arranged essentially parallel to the conveyor belt 12, which rotates above the guide track 8. The conveyor belt 18 runs around a deflection roller 19 which is also mounted above the inlet 7 on the bracket (not shown in more detail) which is pivotably articulated on the base plate 2.
  • a closure 20 which adjusts the width of the inlet 7 to the diameter of the coins 11 and which consists of a lever arm 22, which is pivotable about a shaft 23 which is fixed to the housing, and which adjusts the width of the inlet 7 this is formed articulated about the axis 24 crescent-shaped closure element 25.
  • the coins 11 of a double coin lying below are conveyed into the inlet 7 of the guideway 8, which takes place first under the effect of the centrifugal force of the coin plate 3 and then under the action of the lower run of the conveyor belt 12. Any upper coin 11 lying on a coin 11 resting on the coin plate 3 cannot get into the inlet 7, since the thickness of the guide finger 16 is smaller than the thinnest coin.
  • the upper coins 11 are drawn from the lower run of the second conveyor belt 18 over the guide finger 16 and fed back to the coin plate 3 in the direction of rotation (arrow 5).
  • Both the conveyor belt 12 and the conveyor belt 18 running over the guide finger 16 are resiliently mounted on the bracket (not shown) and can thus relate their distance from the plane of the guide track 8 or the coin plate 3 to the thickness of the coins 11.
  • adapt a double coin in the latter case the upper coin being withdrawn from the coin 11 guided along the front edge 17 of the guide finger 16.
  • the resilient movements of the conveyor belts 12 and 18 are shown in FIG. 2 with double arrows attached next to the deflection rollers 13 and 19, respectively
  • the angle ⁇ by which the guide finger 16 is angled with respect to the radius of the coin plate 3, is between 20 and 30 °.
  • the closure element 25 interacts with the guide finger 16, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.
  • the closure element 25 prevents several smaller-diameter coins 11 from entering the inlet 7 of the guideway 8 immediately behind a large-diameter coin 11.
  • a coin 11 which runs along the front edge 17 of the guide finger 16 and has a large diameter can pivot the closure element 25, which rests against the arm 22 with a stop 29, together with the arm 22 in the clockwise direction, the circular-arc-shaped, convex outer side 28 of the closure element 25 slides along the coin 11.
  • the tip 26 of the closure element 25 FIG. 5
