Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for electronic coin validation for the purpose of eliminating unsuitable coins and a coin validator for carrying out the method.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for coin testing which eliminates unsuitable coins by a reliable method, and to create a coin validator to perform this procedure.
  • the coin 4 inserted into the slot 1 of an automatic machine and guided between the side walls 2, 3 continues to roll on the inclined plane 5.
  • the side walls are attached to the plate 6.
  • the coin rolls over the rocker 7, which is under it Gives weight and thereby acts on the lever 8 on the hammer 9, which is pivotally mounted in the joint 10.
  • the hammer strikes through the opening 11 in the side wall 3 against the coin 4 and causes it to vibrate.
  • the hammer 9 is returned to its rest position by the spring 12.
  • the coin then falls freely through the shaft 13. It passes through the microphone 14, which measures the frequency of its natural vibrations and supplies the measured value to the electronics 15. If this value lies within a selectable, permissible tolerance range of a specified guideline value entered in the electronics, this activates the magnet coil 16, the magnet core 17 is attracted and the sorting switch 18 opens the shaft 19 to an intermediate checkout.
  • the coin validator has to be able to check the admissibility of different types of coins, especially of different sizes, whose oscillation frequencies naturally differ greatly, this can be done with the help of the induction validators 22. They record the size of the coin rolling past and, if the result is positive, send a signal to the electronics 15 in order to adjust it to the guideline value for sound measurement corresponding to the respective coin size.
  • Fig. 3 shows a similar section as Fig.2, but with an electromagnetic stop device. Triggered by the rolling coin, the electronics 15 sends a pulse into the magnetic coil 23, the magnetic core 24 acting as a hammer is attracted and strikes the coin 4, causing it to vibrate. The further process is the same as that described for FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the counter-holder 25 is provided in order to support the coin when the magnetic core 24 stops. It is equipped with three bolts 26 penetrating the side wall 2 and withdrawn in the rest position. Simultaneously with the movement of the magnetic core 24, the counter-holder 25 is moved in the opposite sense, the bolts 26 emerge from the wall and support the coin against the stop.
  • Such support of the coin can of course also be applied in the embodiment according to FIG.
  • the hammer 9 can also be actuated electromagnetically there instead of mechanically, similar to the magnetic core 24 in FIG. 3.
  • the coin validator 4 shows a different embodiment of the coin validator according to the invention.
  • the coin tilts sideways, as indicated by arrow 27.
  • the upper part 28 of the wall 2 is bulged and serves as a holder for the anvil 29. If the coin 4 now tilts, it hits the anvil and is set in motion in this way.
  • the further process of sound measurement is the same as that described in the previous explanations.
  • the coin can also be opened in another way.
  • the coin may be sufficient let ze hit a wall at the end of a taxiway in order to make it swing.
  • coin validator according to the invention can preferably be used for automatic machines, but also for other purposes, for example for sorting money in banks. Furthermore, several coin validators can be used side by side, which are tuned to different vibration frequencies and combined to form a structural unit.
