Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic cash dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1 (see FR-A-1,534,272).
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and relates to an automatic cash dispenser comprising a single slot for inserting coins, followed by a channel for guiding the coins towards the entry of a selector , characterized in that it further comprises a pre-cash followed by N reserves under which are located a case and a coin resting bowl, the pre-cash and each reserve each comprising a charger, without bottom or ceiling, in the form of a circular crown of vertical axis, comprising P + 2 radial cells delimited by vertical radial walls, arranged in a fixed cassette comprising at least one bottom and a circular lateral wall, the pre-crate and each reserve each comprising a motor for driving in rotation step by step not of said magazine inside said cassette, the N reserves being located one below the other under the pre-crate and coaxially, the fo nd of each cassette being pierced with a radial opening under said cells, said opening extending over a circular width corresponding to two cells of said charger, said openings of all said cassettes being
  • each cassette also includes an upper cover pierced with an opening situated vertically from said bottom opening.
  • the insertion slot is followed by a shutter flap preceded by a first part presence detector controlling the opening of the shutter and followed by a second detector, the first and the second detector allowing to check the direction of passage of the parts.
  • the invention also relates to a method of using the dispenser, characterized in that during use by a user, all the parts introduced, whatever their category, among the parts recognized and accepted by the selector , are deposited one by one in consecutive cells of the pre-container, by successive rotation step by step of the loader in the pre-container cassette, and in that as soon as the displayed amount of the requested service is reached, the service is performed, money being returned only from the different reserves, the cash being emptied into the different reserves, each reserve being assigned to a single category of coins.
  • Such a distributor can be a distributor of any product, of a ticket ... It has on its front indications of operation, with different access keys, display lights etc ... all things known per se and which are not strictly linked to the coin mechanism, that is to say to a device which receives money from customers to pay for a requested service, collects it and gives change.
  • the assembly is therefore located in an envelope 1 which has a slot 2 for inserting coins, located at the top of the coin mechanism.
  • This slot is unique and is used to insert coins regardless of their value.
  • a guide channel not shown, extends this slot and leads the parts introduced towards the input of a selector 3, of a type known per se, which distinguishes and recognizes different categories of parts.
  • This selector is of course connected to electronic control and management of the entire device. If a coin is not recognized by the selector 3, it immediately falls into a restitution bowl 4 located at the bottom of the coin mechanism.
  • a pre-cash 5 below the pre-cash 5, a series of N reserves, six in number in the example described, and referenced from 6 to 11.
  • the pre-check 5 and the six reserves 6 to 11 are identical and interchangeable.
  • the pre-stock and the reserves being identical in their structure, Figures 2 to 7, described below, represent them interchangeably.
  • the precast and the reserves are in the form of superimposed and coaxial circular patties.
  • a guide member 13 makes it possible, at the outlet of the reserve 11, to direct the parts, depending on their outlet point 14 or 15, towards the base 4 or towards the body 12.
  • the pre-drum 5 in the general shape of a circular wafer, comprises a charger 16 arranged in a fixed cassette 17.
  • the charger 16 is constituted by a circular crown of radiating vertical walls 18, connected to each other on the internal side by a connecting wall 19, free on the side of their radial end furthest from the center and delimiting between them individual cells 20 for storing parts.
  • This charger has neither bottom nor ceiling and is therefore presented as a sort of circular comb.
  • This charger 16 comprises P + 2 cells 20, for example one hundred and two, making it possible to store P parts, that is to say one hundred in the example chosen.
  • This loader is thus placed in the fixed cassette 17 which comprises a bottom 21, a circular side wall 22 and also, in the example described, a cover 23 making it possible to transport, outside the distributor, the pre-container or a reserve, even loaded with rooms.
  • Cassette 17 comprises means for driving the magazine 16 step by step inside its cassette 17. These means comprise a stepping motor 24 comprising on its output shaft a bevel gear 25 meshing with a bevel gear 26 whose axis 27 is linked to the bottom of the cassette.
  • the axis 27 also carries a pinion 28 which meshes with a toothed crown 29 solid with the connecting wall 19.
  • a pinion 28 which meshes with a toothed crown 29 solid with the connecting wall 19.
  • two other pinions 30 and 31 also mesh with the ring gear 29.
  • the three pinions 28, 30, and 31 have their axes respectively located at one hundred and twenty degrees from each other relative to the axis of the pre-crate.
  • the bottom 21 of the cassette 17, in its part located under the cells 20, is pierced with a radial opening 32, visible in FIG. 8 and also in FIG. 4, to which also corresponds an opening 33 made in the cover 23 , visible in Figure 3.
  • These radial openings 32 and 33 produced respectively in the bottom and in the cover of the cassette 17 have a circumferential width covering two consecutive cells 20.
  • the openings 32 and 33 of all the reserves 6 to 11 and of the pre-drum 5 are exactly aligned vertically .
  • the drive motors 24 of the chargers 16 always stop the chargers so that two consecutive cells 20 are perfectly centered opposite the openings 32, 33 thus constituting, when the latches described below are open, two vertical channels free 34 and 35 allowing parts, brought by rotation of the magazine vertically from one or other of these channels, to fall to the base 4 for channel 34 or to the body 12 for channel 35 or only to that of the lower reserves for which the opening 32 would be closed by the bolt described below.
  • the channel 34 will be called the first vertical row of cells and the channel 35 will be called the second vertical row of cells, knowing that these vertical rows 34 and 35 of cells always exist, but that they are not always constituted by the same cells since the magazines can rotate in their respective cassettes, and since the channels formed by these rows can be closed or not by latches at the level of the opening 32 of the bottom of each reserve and the precash.
  • the output of the selector 3 opens above the opening 33 of the pre-crate 5, vertically above the first vertical row 34 of cells 20.
  • each cassette is associated with a lock 36, shown on a large scale in FIGS. 5A to 5C and seen at the end in FIG. 6, allowing, according to its three possible positions, either to completely close the opening 32 of the bottom 21 of the cassette through the central part 39 of the latch (FIG. 5B), or of partially closing this opening: FIGS. 5A and 5C.
  • the latch 36 In the position corresponding to FIG. 5A, the latch 36, by its part 37 furthest from the center of the cassette, partially closes the opening 32 in its part corresponding to the channel or first row 34, that is to say that leading to the sebille 4.
  • the latch 36 In the position corresponding to FIG. 5c, the latch 36, through its part 38, partially closes the opening 32 in its part corresponding to the channel or second row 35, that is to say that leading to the body 12.
  • the upper surface 40 of the bottom 21 of the cassette and the upper surface 41 of the lock 36 are exactly at the same level so as to allow the passage of the parts, without locking by sliding on this bottom 21, of the bottom 21 on the lock 36 or vice versa, when the parts are driven by the rotation of the loader 16.
  • FIGS. 5A and 6 a part 42 has been shown in a cell marked 20A. This part 42 no longer having a bottom for retaining it, taking into account the position of the lock, drops as indicated by arrow 43 and will pass into the next reserve where it will remain or not depending on the position of the lock.
  • the latter is provided with an internal extension 44 carrying a rack on which a pinion 45 engages in rotation by a motor 46 linked to the bottom 21 of the cassette.
  • the latter For guiding the lock 36, the latter carries lugs 46 sliding in U-shaped profiles 47 and 48. These lugs 46 have not been shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C.
  • the fixed part of the pre-stock and the reserves also includes an electro-optical detector of the position of the magazine 16 relative to the fixed cassette 17.
  • This detector comprises an electro-optical transmitter 49 mounted on a bar 50 fixed to the profiles 47 and 48 by screw 51 through oblong holes 52 allowing the position of the transmitter 49 to be adjusted, and a receiver 53 also mounted on a bar 54 fixed to the profiles 47 and 48.
  • Each cassette further comprises a detector 55 of the lock position.
  • the motors 24 and 46 as well as the detectors 49, 53 and 55 are electrically connected to an electronics and a computer for command and management of the whole apparatus.
  • the insertion slot 2 is immediately followed by a first part presence detector controlling the opening of a shutter flap which is followed by a second detector.
  • the combination of the two detectors makes it possible to check the direction of passage of the parts and to avoid certain frauds.
  • the first detector, controlling the opening of the shutter avoids the introduction of non-metallic or metallic objects not recognized as parts such as paper clips for example.
  • FIGS. 7B to 11B are seen from the axis of the distributor looking towards the latches 36, which explains the inversion between the figures of indices B and the figures of index D of the references of the channels 34 and 35.
  • index C correspond to a top view with respect to the figures of index A.
  • Figures 7 correspond to a de-energized state of the device or to a state where a part being inserted into the insertion slot, it is not part of one of the parts recognized and accepted by the selector 3. In this case, all the locks 36 are in the position where the channel 34 is nowhere closed and the part therefore falls directly into the base 4.
  • FIGS. 8 the acquisition of the coins is shown: the user sees the sum displayed for the service requested, and the coin mechanism is waiting to receive coins.
  • the lock 36 of the pre-crate 5 is placed in the middle position, that is to say closing the two channels 34 and 35. The part falls into the pre-crate 5 in a cell 20 located in the channel 34.
  • the pre-advance advances by one step in the direction indicated by the arrows F, that is to say in the anticlockwise direction, seen from above.
  • the latch 36 of the pre-crate 5 returns to the position shown in FIGS. 7 and the part falls into a sack.
  • the service is carried out and the change is immediately returned if the value of the last coin inserted has exceeded the amount requested.
  • Figures 9 illustrate a change of money from the reserve 8, which contains only coins of a single determined value.
  • the lock 36 of the pre-crate 5, marked 36-5, has returned to its position where the channel 34 is free so that if a new part is introduced, it falls directly into a sebille 4.
  • the charger of said reserve 8 rotates one step in the direction of clockwise: F1 arrows (that is to say in the opposite direction feeder of the precaisse 5 at the time of acquisition) driving a part of the reserve 8 vertically of the channel 34 entirely free: the part falls into the bowl 4.
  • FIGS. 10 illustrate the placing in reserve, in reserve 8, of the last part, marked 42A, introduced into the device.
  • the lock 36-8 is actuated in the middle position and the pre-crate 5 is withdrawn by an alveolus (arrows F2 clockwise: reverse of the acquisition process).
  • the loader of this reserve is advanced by one step in the direction of acquisition: arrows F3.
  • the lock is actuated of said reserve, for example the reserve 7 in FIGS. 11, in the middle position, then the pre-crate is withdrawn by a cell: said piece falls into the reserve 7 in the cell corresponding to channel 34 then we advance one step, in the direction of acquisition (arrow F4) the charger of the reserve 7, which places a part of this reserve vertical to the channel 35 since the reserve is full.
  • the distributor may include a device for recognizing and accepting banknotes, separate from the coin-operated device described, but connected to the electronic management of the device and in this case, all the categories of accepted coins can be used to make change and the reserve number is then equal to the number of different coins accepted.
