Dieser, beispielsweise in einer Anlage mit einer Mehrzahl gleichartiger, selbstkassierender
Automaten eingesetzte Fahrausweisautomat 1 ist als quaderförmiges
Gehäuse angedeutet, das im oberen Teil auf seiner Frontplatte eine
Eingabetastatur 2 für den Benutzer, einen Einwurfschlitz 3 für die vom
Automaten zu verarbeitenden unterschiedlichen Münzsorten und eine
Anzeigevorrichtung 4 für den zu zahlenden Betrag aufweist. Im Inneren des
Gehäuses sind die zur Münzverarbeitung und zur Steuerung des Fahrausweisautomaten
1 erforderlichen Baugruppen angeordnet, von denen die zum Verstandnis
der Arbeitsweise hauptsächlichen Baugruppen gekennzeichnet sind
und in ihrer Funktionsweise nachfolgend erläutert werden.This, for example in a system with a plurality of similar, self-cashing
Die durch den Einwurfschlitz 3 eingeworfenen Münzen gelangen zuerst in
einen Münzprüfer 5, der die jeweilige Münze auf Echtheit überprüft. Sollte es
sich um eine falsche oder um eine fehlerhafte Münze oder um eine Münze
handeln, die vom Fahrausweisautomaten nicht verarbeitet werden kann,
gelangt diese Münze über einen Münzrückgabekanal 6 in eine Ausgabe 7, die
in der linken unteren Ecke des Fahrausweisautomaten 1 angeordnet ist.
Handelt es sich bei der im Münzprüfer 5 überprüften Münze jedoch um eine
echte, vom Automaten verarbeitbare Münze, gelangt diese in eine
Zwischenkasse 8. Diese Zwischenkasse 8 ist vorgesehen, damit der Benutzer
im Falle des Abbruches des Zahlvorganges diejenigen Münzen zurückerhält,
die er durch den Einwurfschlitz 3 eingeworfen hat. Zu diesem Zweck ist die
Zwischenkasse 8 über einen Verbindungskanal mit dem Münzrückgabekanal 6
verbunden.The coins thrown in through the
Unterhalb der Zwischenkasse 8 sind beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel
insgesamt fünf Münzspeicher 9 vorgesehen. Wie aus deren Beschriftung auf
der Zeichnung hervorgeht, sind diese Rückgeldspeicher 9 zur Aufnahme von
Münzen mit der Wertigkeit von 0,50 DM, 0,10 DM, 1,00 DM, 2,00 DM und
5,00 DM ausgebildet. Es handelt sich bei diesen Münzspeicher 9 vorzugsweise
um selbstauffüllende und auswechselbare Speicher, die demgemäß
turnusgemäß aus dem Fahrausweisautomaten 1 entnommen und durch neue
Münzspeicher 9 ersetzt werden können.Below the
Unterhalb der Münzspeicher 9 ist eine Geldkasse 10 angeordnet, in die die
von den Benutzern eingezahlten Münzen gelangen, sobald die Münzspeicher 9
aufgefüllt sind. Auch diese Geldkasse 10 kann turnusgemäß entnommen und
durch eine leere Geldkasse 10 ersetzt werden.Below the
Wenn der Benutzer beispielsweise über die Eingabetastatur 2 einen Fahrausweis
ausgewählt hat, dessen Betrag DM 8,40 beträgt, erscheint dieser Betrag
auf der Anzeigevorrichtung 4. Die vom Benutzer in den Einwurfschlitz 3
geworfenen Münzen werden vom Münzprüfer 5 auf Echtheit überprüft und im
Fall ihrer Echtheit in die Zwischenkasse 8 überführt. Aus dieser Zwischenkasse
8 gelangen die Münzen entsprechend ihrer Wertigkeit in die Münzspeicher
9. Sollte einer der selbstauffüllenden Münzspeicher 9 vollständig
gefüllt sein, gelangen die Münzen direkt in die Geldkasse 10.If the user has a ticket, for example, using the

Rückgeldsumme den Münzspeichern 9 entnommen und über einen Rückzahlkanal
11 der Ausgabe 7 zugeführt. In diese Ausgabe 7 gelangt gleichzeitig der
vom Benutzer ausgewählte Fahrausweis, der in einem Drucker 12 zwischenzeitlich
hergestellt worden ist.In the event of an overpaid amount, coins will be made according to the amount of the
Amount of change withdrawn from the
Die Steuerung der voranstehend beschriebenen Vorgänge erfolgt durch einen
Rechner 13, dem ein komplettes Steuerprogramm 14 zugeordnet ist. Dieses
Steuerprogramm 14 kann in gewissem Rahmen von einer berechtigten
Bedienungsperson beeinflußt werden. Beispielsweise ist es möglich, bei einer
anstehenden Wartung oder Reparatur des Fahrausweisautomaten 1 über das
Steuerprogramm 14 und den Rechner 13 eine Gesamtbilanz des Automaten zu
erstellen. Hierzu notwendige Steuerbefehle und Eingaben können beispielsweise
über eine Bedienertastatur 15 eingegeben werden, die dem Steuerprogramm
14 zugeordnet ist.The processes described above are controlled by a
Die zur Erstellung einer Bilanz notwendigen Daten werden fortlaufend in einem
dem Rechner 13 zugeordneten Schreib-Lese-Speicher 16 gespeichert. Über
Leitungen 17 ist der Schreib-Lese-Speicher 16 und somit der Rechner 13 mit
Auswerteeinheiten 18 verbunden, die, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, jeweils mit
einer Antenne 19 versehen auf einer Leiterplatte 20 angeordnet sind. Für jede
Auswerteeinheit 18 ist am jeweils zugehörigen Münzspeicher 9 sowie an der
Geldkasse 10 ein Transponder 21, vorzugsweise ein Schreib-Lese-Transponder,
angeordnet. Neben der Speicherung der Identitätscodierung des
Fahrausweisautomaten 1 sind die Transponder 21 selbst zum Senden und
Empfangen von Daten geeignet. Über die auf der Leiterplatte 20 angeordnete
Auswerteeinheit ist es somit beispielsweise möglich, Einzelbilanzen für jeden
Münzspeicher 9 zu erstellen. Diese Erstellung von Einzelbilanzen für die mit
den Transpondern 21 versehenen Baugruppen ermöglicht eine leichte
Fehlerfindung sowie Überwachung des Automaten auf mögliche
Manipulationen. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, den Weg einer jeden mit einem
Transponder 21 versehenen Baugruppe zurückzuverfolgen, um festzustellen,
in welchen Automaten diese Baugruppe bereits eingebaut war. Die
Übermittlung der Daten zwischen den einzelnen Transpondern 21 und den zugehörigen
Auswerteeinheiten 18 erfolgt über Antennen in den Transpondern
21 (nicht dargestellt) und über die auf der Leiterplatte 20 angeordnete
Antenne 19, die in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist. Die Antenne 19 kann beispielsweise
als einfache spiral- oder mäanderförmige Leiterbahn ausgebildet sein.The data required to prepare a balance sheet is continuously updated in one
the read / write memory 16 assigned to the
In Fig. 3 ist ergänzend eine ausschnittweise Seitenansicht eines Münzspeichers
9 zu sehen, der mit einem Transponder 21 ausgerüstet ist. Jedem
Transponder 21 wird jeweils eine Auswerteeinheit 18 sowie eine Antenne 19
zugeordnet, ohne daß die Leiterplatte 20 galvanisch mit dem Transponder 21
verbunden ist.In Fig. 3 is a partial side view of a
Neben der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist es selbstverständlich auch
möglich, mehrere Auswerteeinheiten 18 mit den zugehörigen Antennen 19
nebeneinander auf einer Leiterplatte 20 anzuordnen. In addition to the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, it is of course also
