Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the carrier belt resting on the coins delivered by the separating device serves to convey the coins on a base plate along the guide rail.
  • the sorting stations have sorting openings in the base plate that are graded in width according to the increasing diameters of the coins to be sorted.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device of the type mentioned at the outset which enables a higher working speed without increasing the overall length.
  • the solution according to the invention enables, using exclusively mechanical means, a considerably higher sorting speed than the known device and is also more reliable due to the forced guidance of the coins by means of the sorting belt.
  • the coins deflected by the deflecting element in the direction of the sorting element are pulled out under great acceleration by the running sorting element at right angles to the carrier belt.
  • the coin to be separated from the conveyor section is lifted on one side by the ramp-like deflection element in order to reach the driving area of the sorting element.
  • the object to be sorted along a sorting line running transversely to the conveyor line.
  • the sorting belt is preferably driven at such a speed that the object to be sorted comes from the area of the conveyor line is accelerated out quickly.
  • the spring-loaded deflection roller ensures that objects of different thicknesses are securely gripped.
  • Claim 4 specifies a preferred embodiment in which only a single drive is required for the entire device, provided that this also drives the separating device, not shown.
  • Such a separating device is well known, for example from DE patents 25 47 685 and 27 13 844, so that the representation and description of such a separating device refer to the prior art.
  • An embodiment according to claim 5, like an embodiment according to claim 3, ensures reliable detection of objects of different thicknesses and rapid acceleration in the transverse direction, but is simpler and takes up less space in the transverse direction.
  • the base plate can also be arranged horizontally, claim 6 specifies a preferred embodiment of an inclined base plate, by which it is ensured that the objects conveyed along the conveying path lie against the guide rail.
  • the base plate can be arranged more or less steeply.
  • each sorting station has a foreign money chute, but all foreign money chutes can lead into a common foreign money collecting container.
  • An embodiment according to claim 8 represents an alternative to the embodiment according to claim 7. According to claim 8 foreign coins are recognized and excreted before they reach the sorting stations in the conveyor line. This makes it possible to take into account not only the diameter but also other criteria of foreign coins.
  • the coins recognized as foreign coins are conveyed through the entire conveying path regardless of their dimensions, in order to be collected in a single container at the end of the conveying path.
  • Another alternative embodiment according to claim 10 does not burden the conveyor line with foreign coin detection, since these are assigned to the sorting stations. Such an embodiment appears to be advantageous if the device is put together from individual elements, for example according to customer requirements, so that it is optionally also possible to dispense with foreign coin separation.
  • An embodiment according to claim 11 ensures that the objects to be sorted are reliably gripped by the conveyor belt even at a relatively high conveying speed.
  • the device shown in FIG. 1 has a frame 10 with a base plate 12 on which eight sorting stations 14 are arranged in the present exemplary embodiment.
  • the objects are fed along a guide rail l6 through a feed belt l8 and then conveyed by a driving belt 20 for conveying along a conveyor line 22 running parallel to the guide rail l6.
  • the lower run of the conveyor belt 20 is pushed down by pressure rollers 24 arranged at even intervals hold in order to ensure that the objects to be sorted, in particular coins, are carried safely on the base plate l2 along the guide rail l6.
  • Each of the sorting stations 14 has a deflection element 30 on the conveyor section 22, opposite the guide rail 16, with a deflection surface 32 that rises in a ramp-like manner in the conveying direction 23.
  • the first one viewed in the conveying direction 23, is intended for the coins with the largest diameter and the last one for the coins with the smallest diameter.
  • the sorting stations in between are intended for the intermediate sizes.
  • the distance between the guide rail 16 and the deflection element 30 is dimensioned for each sorting station 14 in such a way that it is smaller than the diameter of the coins to be separated out at the relevant sorting station, but at least the same size or larger than the diameter of the coins to be passed through.
  • each sorting station 14 the coins to be separated from the conveyor section 22 at this station are lifted on one side during conveyance by the conveyor belt 20 in order to reach the area of a sorting element 34 in the form of a sorting belt.
  • this sorting belt 34 which is driven with its lower run in the sorting direction 35, the coins raised by the deflection element 30 are conveyed further across the conveying path 22.
  • the sorting belts 34 of all sorting stations 14 are coupled to the drive 26 via a drivable deflection roller 36 and a common shaft 38 by means of an angular gear 40.
  • the sorting belts 34 are held in tension by means of a tensioning roller 42, which acts on the upper run.
  • the deflection roller 44 which is arranged opposite the drivable deflection roller 36 is located above the deflection element 30 and is arranged such that it is sprung against it.
  • a foreign currency chute 46 and a collecting chute 48 intended for the coins to be sorted are arranged in order.
  • the opening of the foreign currency chute 46 is limited by side guide rails 50.
  • the guide rails 50 which are angular in profile, are dimensioned such that the coin to be sorted is securely guided up to the collecting shaft 48, but smaller coins fall into the outside money shaft 46.
  • FIG. 2 shows a preferred angle of inclination of the base plate 12 in order to ensure that the coins 52 rest on the guide rail 16 when they are carried along by the transport band 20 for easier diameter determination.
  • the base plate 12 it is also possible to arrange the base plate 12 more or less inclined or also horizontally.
  • FIG. 3 shows a front view of the device in the direction of arrow III according to FIG. 1.
  • the reference numeral 20 denotes the returning run of the conveyor belt 20.
  • a partition 60 separates two adjacent sorting stations 14.
  • the foreign currency chutes 46 and the side guide rails 50 are superfluous.
  • the collecting shaft intended for the coins to be sorted can be arranged at the point at which the foreign currency shaft 46 is shown in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • a device for sorting coins is usually connected to a counting device at each sorting station, the representation of which was omitted in the present exemplary embodiment, since such counting devices are known from the prior art.
  • foreign coins can also be guided along the conveyor line to a collecting container, for which purpose the deflecting elements can be rendered ineffective when a foreign coin passes by.
  • the coins are withdrawn from the conveyor line 22 according to FIG.
  • Such a forced guidance of the coins enables a high sorting speed. It can process far more than 2000 coins per minute.
