Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for checking coins using inductive and opto-electronic means.
- test systems and test devices are already known for checking the authenticity and the value of coins, which record and evaluate the characteristic features of the coins, such as the geometric dimensions, the material, the weight or the knurling.
- test methods can therefore be divided into mechanical, inductive and optical methods, the mechanical structure of the coin validators being consequently determined by the test method used.
- Optoelectronic coin checking devices and methods are also being used to an increasing extent, which enable an exact scanning of the coin minting or selected sections of the coin minting and / or the knurling of a coin.
- a major disadvantage of known coin checking devices is, above all, that additional or separate checking sections must be provided in the device in question for checking further characteristic parameters, such as for checking the material of the coin. These additional test sections in turn require additional installation space, which is already very tight.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a method and a device which, without restriction of the test options for the relevant parameters of a coin, has a space-saving construction in a confined space and allows the simultaneous recording and evaluation of several test parameters with significantly improved detection of money and counterfeit money.
- the device proposed in claim 5 has a construction oriented in the tightest of spaces and enables, within a test cycle in which the coin is rotated through 360 °, in addition to the optoelectronic scanning and evaluation of the coin minting, the diameter and the material properties of the coin at the same time record and evaluate or check with the help of computational means.
- the respective diameter of the coin to be checked is advantageously determined in the centering phase of the supplied coin, in which the value of the rotation of two disks arranged to be rotatable relative to one another after completion of the centering process, that is to say after the driver pins have been brought together to the center of this disk by the rotary movement of the disk serving as a receptacle and they enclose the circumference of the coin evenly and thereby center the coin exactly and a rotating coupling to the second disc, measure.
- both disks are each provided with a marking, which is detected by means of a sensor system.
- the second disc which is freely rotatable on a common axis of rotation with the receiving disc, can also be fixed by a limit force clamp with a precisely defined torque.
- An advantageous solution for the generation of the necessary rotary movement of the receiving disc, against which the coin to be checked rests plane-parallel consists in the use of a stepping motor as the drive element.
- analog motors with an incremental measuring system can also be used as the drive element.
- the material composition is also checked in the centered clamping of the coin.
- the material is tested in a known manner with the aid of inductive material detection.
- test device While previously known electronic or electro-mechanical test devices provide a separate test sector for this purpose within the test device, the test device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention has a hollow shaft, into which a cylindrical fixed inductance is used for the material detection.
- the run-up bevels provided according to the invention at the free ends of the driver pins have a particularly advantageous effect, as a result of which the coin lies flat against the receiving disc and completely covers the inductance.
- the coin thus has a precisely defined position with a largely reduced dielectric within the inductive field, so that the tolerance range, which is relatively large in known test devices with a continuous coin, in which the coin has practically no defined system, can be very widely restricted .
- the device for carrying out the method consists of two disks which are arranged so as to be rotatable independently of one another and which are mounted on a common axis of rotation, at least one disk having circular arc-shaped elongated holes which, starting from a predetermined diameter, are directed in a radial direction toward the center of the disk.
- Driver pins for receiving, centering and holding the coin during the test cycle, in which the coin is rotated through 360 °, are guided through the elongated holes of the disk, which serves as a receiving disk, and are fastened in pivotable levers articulated on the second disk.
- elongated holes are also provided in the second disk in an analogous arrangement to the receiving disk, through which extensions of the driving pins are passed.
- Springs are articulated to these extensions of the driver pins, which are arranged on the back of the second disk and which fix the driver pins in their starting position, which corresponds to the "open" position of the device.
- the arcuate elongated holes starting from a smallest diameter near the center of the disks to a larger diameter in the area of the disk edge correspond indirectly to the respective diameter of the smallest and largest coin to be detected and tested.
- the coupling or the rotary connections between the two disks takes place, as already explained, via the driver pins.
- the driver pins move, guided in the arcuate oblong holes, as far as the center of the discs until they be blocked in their twisting movement by the end of the circular elongated holes or by the edge of a coin. Then both disks continue to rotate together in the specified direction of rotation.
- the incoming coin is first picked up by a few driver pins, then centered precisely by the rotating movement of the receiving disk and the driver pin pivoting towards the center of the disk and then rotated plane-parallel, so that desired parameters of the surface structure can be precisely scanned by means of opto-electronic means with a high level of representation.
- the springs which hold the driver pins in their starting position, are mounted in a tilting arrangement and act as an additional holding force on the edge of the coin when the tipping point is exceeded.
- the spring is arranged so that the driver pins act on the coins with an increased pressure force.
- the receiving disc is attached directly to an axis of rotation which is driven by a motor via a gear and on which the second disc, on which the angle levers are rotatably articulated with the driving pins, is freely rotatably mounted.
- the common axis of rotation is preferably designed as a hollow shaft, in which a fixed inductor is used for inductive material detection.
- the free ends of the driver pins for receiving, centering and holding / clamping the coin to be tested are equipped with a run-up slope directed towards the contact surface of the receiving disk.
- the run-up bevels are expediently arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the angle lever, which corresponds to the tangent of the circular-arc-shaped elongated holes in the receiving disc.
- driver pin supports the secure detection of the coins to be checked and ensures that they are constantly pulled by these run-up bevels in a stable, plane-parallel and centered position against the contact surface of the receiving disc, which is necessary for the vibration-proof clamping, in particular for mobile coin testing devices and for the inductive material recognition with regard to the precisely determinable dielectric within the inductive field is of particular importance.
- the invention minimizes the overall constructive structure and the manufacturing outlay of the testing devices and achieves a high running accuracy of the coin during the testing process.
- the solution according to the invention requires a very small installation space in order to grasp the coin to be checked after it has entered the optoelectronic testing device, to center it and with high accuracy for the scanning of selected parameters, for example coin stamping or Parts of it, rotate parallel and centrally by> 360 °.
- the invention guarantees a far more reliable detection of credit money and rejection of counterfeit money.
- the device shown in Figs. 1-7 is arranged, for example, in an opto-electronic coin checking device at an angle of ⁇ 20 ° to the vertical, so that the coins fed via a slope, as shown in Fig. 7, over the entire surface on the contact surface 13 of the Support disc 4 rest and a plane-parallel recording is guaranteed.
- the driver pins 5, which are passed through the circular-shaped elongated holes 9 in the receiving disc 4, are in the open position, i.e. in their starting position, which corresponds to a free space related to the diameter of the largest coin. After the coin 6 has run in, it practically rests with its edge 17 on the driving pin 5 of the lower angle lever 10 and over the entire surface of the contact surface 13 of the disk 4.
- a receiving disc 4 is attached non-rotatably.
- the drive motor 1 is fastened to a mounting plate 20 which also serves as a bearing plate for the storage of the hollow shaft 8.
- a second disk 3 which can rotate freely a locking ring 12 is axially secured and is pivotally articulated on the angle lever 10 by means of pivots 15 which engage in corresponding bores 14 of the angle lever 10.
- Both discs 3; 4 are equipped with sensors 19, the disk 3 being able to be additionally fixed in its starting position by a limit force clamp 21.
- the receiving disc 4 is provided with circular arc-shaped elongated holes 9, which extend radially, starting from the center of the disc, to the periphery of the disc 4 - Fig. 4. Through these elongated holes 9, the driver pins 5 of the angle lever 10 are passed, which when opening and closing the device for the purpose of receiving or dispensing the coin 6 to be checked or checked through the elongated holes 9.
- ramp bevels 7 are provided, which are directed towards the contact surface 13 of the receiving disc 4 and are arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis 18 of the angle levers 10 - FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the initial position of the disk 3 is advantageously fixed by the limit force restrictor 21 with a defined friction or torque, while the driver pins 5 are in their "open" position in the outer periphery of the receiving disk 4 for receiving a coin 6.
- the incoming coin 6 is initially gripped by the driver pins 5 lying in the direction of entry and lies loosely against the contact surface 13 of the receiving disc 4.
- the test device is arranged obliquely in the overall device at an angle ⁇ 20, which ensures that the coin 6 is placed loosely on the contact surface 13.
- the driver pins 5, guided through the circular-shaped elongated holes 9 in the receiving disk 4, are guided in an aperture-like manner to the center of the disk 4 and the coin 6 is centered until all the drivers 5 rest evenly on the coin edge 17.
- the coin 6 is pulled through the run-up slope 7, on which the coin edge 17 practically rests, to the contact surface 13 of the receiving disc, as a result of which a precisely defined and vibration-proof stable contact and clamping of the coin 6 for the subsequent opto-electronic scanning of the coin and / or their knurling is guaranteed.
- the centering process is practically completed when all of the driver pins 5 rest against the coin edge 17.
- a kinematic rotary connection to the disk 3 is established via the coin 6, the driving pin 5 and the angle lever 10 and, after overcoming the defined friction / torque applied by the limit force clamp 21, the disk 3 is also set in a synchronous rotary movement with the receiving disk 4.
- the higher torque that occurs at the same time supports safe and stable clamping of the coin 6 with exact, plane-parallel contact with the contact surface 13 of the disk 4 for the subsequent optoelectronic scanning.
- a cylindrical fixed inductor 16 for inductive material detection is arranged in the hollow shaft 8.
- the material test of the coin 6 is expediently carried out after the centering process has been completed with the coin being completely in plane-parallel contact with the contact surface 13 and with a complete, stable coverage of the fixed inductance 16.
- the motor shaft 22 of the drive motor 1 is connected directly to the receiving disc 4.
- the drive motor 1 is in turn attached to a mounting plate 13 which is equipped with a bearing pin 24.
- the second disk 3, on which the angle levers 10 are rotatably articulated, is freely rotatably mounted on this journal 24.
- the disk 3 is also provided with circular-arc-shaped elongated holes 9, directed towards the center of the disk 3, in FIG. 6, through which extensions 25 of the driver pins 5 are passed.
