Definitions
- the present invention relates to an object selector device introduced as payment in a distributor of products or services.
- the invention finds a particularly advantageous application in the field of service distribution, such as securities parking of vehicles or tickets.
- the transport member By rotation around its axis, the transport member brings the coin in the housing at a measurement area where various compliance verification operations are carried out, know the determination of the diameter of the part by time measurement passing in front of an optical sensor and metal analysis constituting the part by a magnetic measurement carried out so static, the transport member being stopped in the field of a electromagnetic detector.
- the transport member can tilt, either in a first direction of rotation to direct the workpiece money to a pre-collection block if it is recognized conform, either in a second direction of rotation, opposite to the first, towards a part return output, in the case otherwise (see also EP-A-0 609 923).
- This selector device known from the prior art presents however the disadvantage of requiring a stop of the movement of the organ transport to analyze the metal of the part present in the accommodation, which leads to a slowdown in the chain parts processing.
- the technical problem to be solved by the subject of this invention is to provide a device for selecting objects introduced to payment voucher in a product distributor through an opening of introduction, said device comprising a transport member provided with a housing intended to receive said objects individually and capable of bring an object placed in said housing to a measurement area where means for verifying the conformity of said object are arranged, detector device that would speed up the operations of compliance verification in order to reduce the presence time of objects in the measurement area and therefore decrease the interval of time between two successive introductions of objects into the distributor by user.
- said selector device also comprises drive means capable of ensuring continuous movement irreversible of said transport member along a path during from which said housing passes from an initial communication position with said introduction orifice in a final waiting position in traversing said measurement area continuously, said means of conformity verification receiving sampling signals of the movement of the transport member.
- the analysis of the metal constituting a coin for example can be performed without requiring downtime in the measurement area, a consequence of fact that it is possible to establish indicative, specific parameters of the metal used, from a position statement perfectly reproducible of the part in the measurement area, provided by sampling signals.
- said means of compliance verification include means of analysis magnetic material of said objects, capable of expressing said analysis in terms of characteristic values of a curve representative of the magnetic signature of said objects, said objects characteristic values being sampled by means of said sampling signals.
- said means of compliance verification include means of measurement geometric of said objects, able to express said measurements in term of number of steps of sampling signals, regardless of the speed of the transport member.
- measures geometric we will hear for example the measurements of diameter and of thickness which are two parameters allowing to check the conformity of coins.
- the path of the housing between the positions initial and final also crosses an object orientation zone between a collection outflow and a refund outflow, consecutive to the measurement area.
- said outgoing payments and restitution are arranged in series opposite the continuous movement of the transport member, an object placed in the housing being suitable, under the action of gravity, to cross the collection outlet if the object is recognized as conforming when leaving the measurement area or crossing the return output if the object is recognized as non-compliant at the output of the measurement area, a movable shutter for closing the pre-collection outlet, normally in the open position, being brought into closed position.
- the measurement area is arranged on the path of the accommodation in such a way that said conformity verification means are implemented during the continuous movement of the transport from the initial communication position of the accommodation, after said accommodation has ceased to communicate with the insertion opening.

- Figure 5b is a metal analysis timing diagram provided by the means of Figure 5a.
- Figure 6 is a front view of the selector device of Figure 1.
- Figure 7 is an alternative embodiment of the transport member Figures 1 to 2e.
- the selector device shown in perspective in Figure 1 is intended to equip a distributor of products or service in which objects, such as coins 1, are introduced to payment order through an opening 10 of introduction.
- said dispensing device includes a transport member 100 having been of general shape a wheel, in which is housed a housing 110 intended for receive 1 pieces individually.
- the transport wheel 100 is capable of being rotated around its axis 101 by drive means which, in the example of Figure 1, are constituted by a motor 200 current continuous and a transmission mechanism 210 comprising a reducer composed of two straight pinions 211, 212 coupled to a screw 213 without end cooperating with teeth, not shown, arranged at the periphery of the wheel 100.
- the helix of the worm 213 is at left in order to press the transport wheel 100 on the plane P of reference when it rotates normally in the retrograde direction (direction to improve the measurement of the thickness of the pieces 1 which, as we will see later, is part of the operations of verification of conformity that objects introduced into the selector device.
- the motor 200 used is high efficiency to limit the consumption and low inertia to facilitate stopping the wheel 100 of transport with good angular precision.
- the wheel 100 of transport is driven by an irreversible continuous rotation movement in the retrograde direction along a path during which the accommodation 110, starting from an initial position P1 shown in FIG. 2a, is brought to a measurement zone ZM where means 301 are arranged, 302, 303 for checking the conformity of the coin 1. Then, after continuously crossing the said measurement zone ZM, the housing 110 reaches, always in the same movement, a final position P2 shown in FIG. 2e which will be explained more far.
- the housing 110 in its initial position P1 communicates with the orifice 10 for introducing so as to be able to receive the object 1 introduced individually.
- the motor 200 is started so that the wheel 100 transport unit brings part 1 to the measurement area where carried out continuous compliance verification operations which will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3a to 5b.
- Figure 3a illustrates a diameter measuring device essentially formed by a couple 302 infrared transmitter / receiver for example.
- the measurement consists in recording the transmitted flow of the transmitter to the receiver when passing from room 1.
- the signal supplied by the receiver has a time t2 shutter directly proportional to the diameter of the part 1, but which also depends on the speed of rotation of the wheel 100 of transport.
- the signal (a) from the torque 302 transmitter / detector is close to a sampling signal (b) of the movement of the transport wheel 100.
- said signal sampling will come from the means of training and not from the wheel itself because, given the reduction ratio introduced by the transmission mechanism 210, it would be practically practically impossible to achieve a frequency at the wheel equivalent sampling as high as the engine 200.
- Figure 1 shows that an encoder, such as a wheel encoder 300 with slots 310 and optical fork (not shown), is mounted on the axis 214 of the motor 200.
- the rotational movement of said wheel 300 is integral with that of motor 200 and therefore also of the rotational movement of the wheel 100.
- the signal (b) sampling from the engine consists of a series pulses following the passage of a wheel slot in the optical fork. Two consecutive pulses are separated by corresponding constant angular distance, via the transmission mechanism 210, at an angular pitch known from the rotation of the transport wheel 100.
- we multiply said angular step by the distance of the detection torque 302 to the axis 101 of the wheel 100. It then suffices to count the number n2 of steps of the sampling signal (b) observed during the shutter time t2 to obtain an expression of the diameter in number of steps, regardless of the speed of rotation of the transport wheel 100.
- the measurement of the thickness of the part 1, illustrated in FIGS. 4a and 4b, is carried out in a similar manner.
- Room 1 goes first in front of the 302 transmitter / receiver pair used for measuring the diameter, then in front of a second identical pair 303, placed in bias at an angle of 45 ° for example.
- the time t3 measured is that between the passage in front of the first couple 302 and the second couple 303. It will be observed that the thicker the piece 1, the more this time is short.
- the time t3 is then expressed in terms of number n3 of steps sampling lines, which gives Le and therefore e, L being known by construction.
- sampling signals shown respectively in (b) of figure 3b and in (c) of figure 4b can also be obtained by an encoder, integral with the movement of the 100 transport wheel itself.
- This device allows to take directly as a measurement reference, the movement of the wheel 100. So the diameter and thickness measurements are made independent of any variations in the speed of rotation of the wheel, induced by the drive system or by disturbances external, such as gear defect, center distance accuracy, quality of the engine, braking of the transport wheel 100.
- Said encoder is made, for example, by the association of slots (not shown) fitted to the circumference of the wheel and an optical sensor to fork (not shown), like the slotted encoder wheel 300 310 of figure 1.
- part 1 entrained in the housing crosses a magnetic field induced by a first coil 311 of a magnetic cell 301, powered by an alternating signal at level and fixed frequencies.
- a measurement is made on a second coil 321, called the reception coil, placed opposite the first transmitting coil 311. It is thus possible to appreciate the receiving coil level 321 field disturbance magnetic caused by the passage of part 1, this disturbance being characteristic of the metal of the part.
- the transmission frequency F can be changed when the part 1 has crossed half of cell 301, passing for example from F to 4F. This transition appears in Figure 5b between the samples E4 and 45.
- the wheel 100 of transport is in abutment against the reference plane P, which is inclined at an angle ⁇ of 10 ° for example, relative to the vertical V.
- the object placed in the housing is thus maintained by its own weight against said reference plane during at least the crossing of the zone ZM of measurements.
- the meaning the pitch of the worm 213 is such that, due to friction against the teeth of the wheel 100, the latter is pressed against the plane P of reference.
- the housing 110 to include edges 111, 112 of contact with the object 1, visible in FIG. 1, having an inclined profile capable of promoting the maintenance of said object against the reference plane P, as can be seen in FIG. 6 for edge 111.
- the transport wheel 100 continues its movement of continuous rotation so that the path of the housing 110 passes through also continuously a zone ZO of orientation of the objects between an outlet 401 for collection and an outlet 402 for return, the ZO orientation zone being of course consecutive to the ZM zone of measures.
- the collection and return outlets 401 and 402 are arranged in series with regard to the continuous movement of the transport wheel 100.
- the collection outlet 401 can be closed by a movable flap 400 located on the periphery of the wheel.
- Said flap 400 is, for example, set moving along a translation parallel to the axis 101 of rotation wheel 100, the flap stroke should be slightly longer to the thickness of the housing 110 formed in the wheel. In the case thin in front of the other dimensions, this race is very reduced and therefore allows very rapid translation between the position open and closed position.
- the shutter 400 controlled by an electromagnet not shown, is normally in the open position and is only brought into the closed position that if, on leaving the measurement zone ZM, object 1 is recognized not compliant.
- the object 1 is able, under the effect gravity, to cross the collection outlet 401 if said object has been found to be in conformity.
- This standby position P2 serves as a reference to the movement of the 100 transport wheel.
- a slit (not shown) in the rim of the wheel, which, when it comes in coincidence with an optical fork (not shown), provides a reference signal.
- This signal associated with the sampling signals, allows at any time to know the exact position of the wheel 100.
- a magnetic presence detector controls the motor 200 so as to bring the housing 110 from the position P2 waiting at the initial position P1 for communication with the orifice 10 introduction to resume the cycle described above.
- the ZM measurement zone is located on the path of the housing 110 in such a way that the means 301, 302, 303 conformity identification cannot be used in passage of object 1 only after the housing 100 has ceased to communicate with the orifice 10 of introduction. This is to avoid especially the influence of stray light on optical measurements.
- the housing 110 shown in Figures 1 to 2e has two edges 111, 112 of rectilinear contact.
- the objects 1, 1 ′ such as pieces of coin, each having a center
- the edges 111, 112 have a shape such that the centers of said objects are on the same circle C, concentric of the transport wheel 100, whatever let the diameter and the thickness of the objects 1, 1 '.
- the circle C crosses at least the measurement means 301, 302 geometric objects, diameter and thickness, which allows obtain absolute measurements, independent of the size of the objects.
- the optical radius of the 302, 303 transmitter / receiver pairs always the same arc on the object, which represents directly the diameter and thickness measurements.
- the rounded shape of housing 110 removes the dependence between the measures of diameter and thickness.
