Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for programming coin selectors, of the kind used in games machines, automatic vending machines and so forth, that is to say in all kinds of machines automatically dispensing a product or service upon insertion therein of a coin or number of coins, which system has been designed to significantly minimise the programming time.
- coin selectors in which the coins are controlled or selected as they pass through a measurement area in which various sensors are provided in order to measure the different physical characteristics of the coins.
- the values obtained are set aside with the standard values of the various names of admissible coins duly stored in the selector memory, and the coin is accepted when such values coincide and rejected when not.
- Programming procedures comprise choosing a group of standard coins for each of the various names or types of coins that are to be admitted by the selector, and all the coins in such group must be inserted in the selector to be adjusted.
- An equipment connected to the selector, supported by a specific program for the selected standards, shall generate the threshold levels defining the admissible values of each of the admissible names, applying the appropriate tolerances and recording the memory that shall later on be fitted in the selector at the programming or adjustment stage.
- the programming time with this procedure is however significant, and increases as the number of different names or type of coins to be programmed increases.
- any electronic selector performs differently as regards accurate measurement with the various existing coins, depending upon the thickness, diameter, alloy or irregularities thereof, which brings about a dispersion when programming the selectors, that shall be that much greater as the performance of the standard coins is worse, and shall adversely impinge upon the final quality of the product, and that if the said quality is to be improved, shall cause a larger number of standard coins to be used, whence programming shall be slower.
- the coin standards are moreover chosen so as to represent the coins existing for each of the names, which implies an intricate procedure that requires examining a large number of coins. Furthermore, if the dispersion of characteristics of a given name or type of coin is high, the number of coins in the standard for this name shall also be high, whence the increase in the programming times this entails, as aforesaid.
- the system subject of the invention allows the use of coins to be eliminated in proportion to the names of different coins to be programmed in the unit programming process of each selector, thereby representing a significant time savings.
- the said system relies on the use of types of calibrating pieces, the number of selected types being less than the number of coins of different value acceptable for the selector and the number being preferably two.
- These pieces can comprise tokens or coins that shall hereinafter be referred to as calibres or calibration tokens and with regard to which a survey is made previously in order to establish the relation between the same and the various kinds of coins to be programmed.
- type of disc-shaped pieces shall mean a set of tokens having very close physical characteristics (diameter, thickness, alloy and so forth) or coins that in addition to fulfilling the above condition have the same value.
- duly calibrated tokens are inserted in the selector to be programmed and a programming equipment shall, with the information provided by the selector upon programming and the assistance of known correction functions, generate the appropriate reference levels for each name or type of coin.
- the correction function is applied in the calculation process (2) and is obtained as shown in figure 2 with the assistance of a computerised measurement equipment (5) together with a set (6) comprising the calibration token, types A and B and a number of coins, of names or types M1, M2, ..., MN, yielding the correction factors (F 1 , F 2 , ..., F N ) for each name or type of coin (M1, M2, ..., MN), depending on the calibration tokens, as shown in the block numbered (7) in figure 2.
