Description

La présente invention concerne un système pour la vidange, dans un récipient collecteur, d'un appareil récepteur de pièces de monnaie.The present invention relates to a system for emptying, into a collecting container, a coin receiving apparatus.

L'invention s'applique à tous les appareils qui nécessitent l'introduction de pièces de monnaie et donc une vidange périodique de leur contenu. En particulier, l'invention s'applique aux bornes de péage pour stationnements payants.The invention applies to all devices which require the introduction of coins and therefore a periodic emptying of their contents. In particular, the invention applies to toll kiosks for paid parking lots.

Dans les dispositifs connus, un récipient quelconque peut être utilisé par l'agent chargé de récolter la monnaie introduite dans de tels appareils. Il lui suffit de posséder une clef permettant de déverrouiller une trappe donnant accès à la caisse de l'appareil.In known devices, any container can be used by the agent responsible for collecting the money introduced into such devices. All they need is a key to unlock a hatch giving access to the body of the device.

Le document US-A-4 730 117 décrit un système dans lequel une caisse de collecte 16 peut être introduite dans un compartiment 18 d'un appareil 10 afin de récolter les fonds d'une caisse 14 de cet appareil. Pour ce faire, la caisse de collecte 16 est introduite, par le moyen de mesures de sécurité convenables, et par une personne dument autorisée dans le compartiment 18. La caisse de collecte 16 est en outre munie d'un émetteur qui génère une série d'impulsions codées qui servent à identifier la caisse. L'appareil 10 est muni d'un récepteur 24 qui reçoit ces impulsions et les décode de manière à identifier la caisse et le numéro d'identification est mis en mémoire.Document US-A-4 730 117 describes a system in which a collection box 16 can be introduced into a compartment 18 of an apparatus 10 in order to collect the funds from a case 14 of this apparatus. To do this, the collection box 16 is introduced, by means of suitable security measures, and by a duly authorized person into the compartment 18. The collection box 16 is further provided with an emitter which generates a series of 'coded pulses used to identify the body. The apparatus 10 is provided with a receiver 24 which receives these pulses and decodes them so as to identify the cash register and the identification number is put in memory.

La présente invention a pour but d'apporter une plus grande sécurité à l'opération de collecte de monnaie dans de tels appareils.The present invention aims to provide greater security to the operation of collecting money in such devices.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet un système pour la vidange, dans un récipient collecteur d'un appareil récepteur de pièces de monnaie, ledit appareil comportant une caisse comprenant à son extrémité inférieure une ouverture de vidange, ledit récipient collecteur étant muni d'un organe identificateur codé identifiant le récipient collecteur, ledit appareil comprenant un lecteur approprié audit organe et relié à un circuit électronique de traitement et de décodage, caractérisé en ce que ladite ouverture de vidange est munie d'une trappe, ledit circuit électronique comportant en outre une fonction de commande fournissant, si l'organe identificateur codé est reconnu valide, un ordre de déverrouillage de ladite trappe, et en ce que ledit récipient collecteur comporte à son extrémité supérieure une tête de collecte portant ledit organe identificateur codé et comportant un organe de fixation permettant de l'introduire dans des moyens complémentaires de fixation dudit appareil sous ladite caisse.The subject of the invention is therefore a system for emptying, into a collecting container of a coin-receiving appliance, said appliance comprising a box comprising at its lower end a drainage opening, said collecting container being provided with a coded identifier body identifying the container collector, said apparatus comprising a reader suitable for said member and connected to an electronic circuit for processing and decoding, characterized in that said drain opening is provided with a hatch, said electronic circuit further comprising a control function providing, if the coded identifier member is recognized as valid, an order to unlock said hatch, and in that said collecting container comprises at its upper end a collection head carrying said coded identifier member and comprising a fixing member making it possible to introduce it into additional means for fixing said device under said body.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'appareil récepteur comporte un moyen d'introduction d'un code personnel, propre à l'agent collecteur, relié audit circuit électronique qui ne fournit l'ordre de déverrouillage de ladite trappe que si le code personnel est reconnu valable.According to another characteristic of the invention, the receiving device comprises a means of introducing a personal code, specific to the collecting agent, connected to said electronic circuit which provides the unlocking order for said hatch only if the personal code is recognized as valid.

L'organe identificateur codé identifiant le récipient collecteur peut être de toute nature : par exemple, il peut s'agir d'un code mécanique genre clef réalisée sur l'organe de fixation de la tête de collecte, dont le lecteur approprié est constitué par une clef complémentaire située sur les moyens complémentaires de fixation appartenant à l'appareil. L'actionnement de ladite clef complémentaire, lors de l'introduction d'un récipient collecteur agréé possédant la bonne clef de codage, déclenche des contacts appartenant à un circuit relié audit circuit électronique.The coded identifier member identifying the collecting container may be of any kind: for example, it may be a mechanical code such as a key produced on the fixing member of the head. collection, the appropriate reader of which is constituted by a complementary key located on the complementary fixing means belonging to the device. The actuation of said additional key, during the introduction of an approved collecting container having the correct coding key, triggers contacts belonging to a circuit connected to said electronic circuit.

L'organe identificateur codé peut également être une étiquette portant un codage magnétique, le lecteur approprié est alors une tête magnétique de lecture. Il peut s'agir également d'une étiquette portant un code lu optiquement. On peut encore utiliser un transpondeur codé, l'appareil comportant un émetteur hyperfréquence. On peut encore utiliser une "puce" électronique codée, l'appareil portant des contacts souples élastiques assurant la liaison électrique avec la "puce" lors de l'introduction de la tête de collecte. Tout autre système de codage peut bien entendu être utilisé.The coded identifying member can also be a label carrying magnetic coding, the appropriate reader is then a magnetic read head. It can also be a label carrying an optically read code. It is also possible to use a coded transponder, the device comprising a microwave transmitter. It is also possible to use an encoded electronic "chip", the device carrying elastic flexible contacts ensuring the electrical connection with the "chip" during the introduction of the collection head. Any other coding system can of course be used.

L'identification du récipient collecteur permet ainsi au système de gestion de l'appareil récepteur de reconnaître la présence de l'objet de déchargement. La sécurité est encore accrue lorsque l'appareil comporte en outre, comme il a été dit plus haut, un moyen d'introduction d'un code personnel qui doit être fournit par l'agent collecteur pour permettre le déverrouillage de la trappe.The identification of the collecting container thus allows the management system of the receiving device to recognize the presence of the unloading object. Security is further increased when the apparatus further comprises, as has been said above, a means of entering a personal code which must be provided by the collecting agent to enable the hatch to be unlocked.

La figure unique jointe représente schématiquement un système selon l'invention.The attached single figure schematically represents a system according to the invention.

Sur cette figure, on voit une caisse 1 qui appartient à un appareil récepteur de pièces de monnaie 2.In this figure, we see a box 1 which belongs to a coin receiving device 2.

En 3, on a figuré partiellement un récipient collecteur afin de récolter périodiquement la monnaie introduite dans la caisse 1.In 3, a collecting container is partially shown in order to periodically collect the money introduced into the box 1.

A cet effet, la caisse 1 comporte à son extrémité supérieure une tête de collecte 4 qui peut s'introduire dans des rainures 5 et 6 de l'appareil 2, sous le fond de la caisse 1 qui comporte une ouverture de vidange 7.To this end, the box 1 has at its upper end a collecting head 4 which can be introduced into grooves 5 and 6 of the device 2, under the bottom of the box 1 which has a drain opening 7.

Le récipient collecteur 3 a été figuré en traits interrompus fins dans sa position fixée à l'appareil 2 sous la caisse 1.The collecting container 3 has been shown in thin dashed lines in its position fixed to the device 2 under the body 1.

L'ouverture de vidange 7 est normalement obturée par une trappe 8 percée d'une ouverture 9.The drain opening 7 is normally closed by a hatch 8 pierced with an opening 9.

Bien entendu, toutes ces parties sont situées derrière une porte qui n'a pas été représentée et qui est fermée à clef.Of course, all these parts are located behind a door which has not been shown and which is locked.

De la même manière, la trappe 8 possède un verrou mécanique non représenté qui est débloqué par l'agent collecteur lorsqu'il vient vidanger la caisse 1. Cependant, selon l'invention, outre ce verrou habituel, la trappe 8 possède un verrou 10 qui pénètre dans un trou 11 de la trappe 8 et qui n'est déverrouillé que par la reconnaissance par un organe de traitement 12, comportant des circuits de décodage, de traitement et de commande, d'un code d'identification 13 porté par la tête de collecte 4 et lu par un lecteur 14 solidaire de l'appareil 2.Likewise, the hatch 8 has a mechanical lock, not shown, which is released by the collecting agent when it empties the box 1. However, according to the invention, in addition to this usual lock, the hatch 8 has a lock 10 which enters a hole 11 of the hatch 8 and which is unlocked only by the recognition by a processing member 12, comprising decoding, processing and control circuits, of an identification code 13 carried by the collection head 4 and read by a reader 14 secured to the device 2.

Si le code d'identification 13 est reconnu par l'organe de traitement 12, il émet un signal commandant un relais 15 actionnant un interrupteur 16 fermant un circuit électrique alimenté en 17 et comprenant un électro-aimant 18 actionnant le verrou 10.If the identification code 13 is recognized by the processing unit 12, it emits a signal controlling a relay 15 actuating a switch 16 closing an electrical circuit supplied with 17 and comprising an electromagnet 18 actuating the latch 10.

Une fois la trappe 8 déverrouillée, l'opérateur peut, par une manette connue en soi et non représentée ouvrir la trappe permettant ainsi la vidange de la caisse 1 dans le récipient collecteur 3.Once the hatch 8 is unlocked, the operator can, by a handle known per se and not shown, open the hatch thus allowing the body 1 to be emptied into the collecting container 3.

Pour obtenir une plus grande sécurité, le déverrouillage du verrou 10 peut être en outre soumis à l'introduction par l'agent collecteur d'un code personnel d'identification. A cet effet, l'appareil comporte un moyen 19 d'introduction de son code personnel, ce moyen 19 étant, par exemple, constitué par un clavier alpha-numérique. Ce moyen 19 est bien entendu relié à l'organe de traitement 12.To obtain greater security, unlocking the lock 10 can also be subject to the introduction by the collecting agent of a personal identification code. To this end, the device comprises a means 19 for entering its personal code, this means 19 being, for example, constituted by an alpha-numeric keyboard. This means 19 is of course connected to the processing member 12.

Dans le cas de l'exemple décrit, le lecteur 13 est un lecteur optique, mais, comme il a été dit plus haut, on peut choisir le moyen de codage 13 et son moyen complémentaire de lecture 14 parmi les nombreux moyens connus.In the case of the example described, the reader 13 is an optical reader, but, as has been said above, the coding means 13 and its complementary reading means 14 can be chosen from among the many known means.
