Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coin guiding device for coin devices such as coin validators, the inserted coins are decelerated and checked leads a given direction, according to the generic term of the main claim.
  • DE 44 37 813 describes a device for switching on a coin validator or machine.
  • the under other is the reassurance of coins.
  • the pressing member is arranged so that Coin calming an inserted coin by means of a prestressed pressure member against a wall of the Coin channel is pressed.
  • the pressure member has two wedge surfaces orthogonal to each other on which is a deceleration of the coin both in horizontal as well as in the vertical direction should.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to create a coin guiding device which regardless of the direction and strength of the impulse or the swirl of an inserted coin confined space completely soothes on a well-defined way for example the measuring system can be fed into a coin validator.
  • This task is accomplished by a coin guiding device after the generic term in connection with their characteristic Features resolved.
  • Pressure element in the transition area from the inlet to the wedge surface has a run-in slope. Hereby becomes a regulated transition and also another Allows braking of the coin.
  • the pressure member a first and a second leg with a has first and a second wedge surface, wherein the first and the second leg advantageously are substantially perpendicular to each other.
  • the vertical arrangement of both legs and thus the Wedge surfaces to each other allow complete Deceleration of the coin in two spatial directions and also reducing the spin of the coin.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment provides before that the first leg of the enema and the subsequent first wedge surface contains and that the pivot axis of the pressure member and the first leg arranged perpendicular to the running rail are and the second leg essentially is parallel to the running rail. This ensures that an incoming coin is initially vertical led to the track and then in two spatial directions is completely slowed down and the reassured coin, which causes the pressure member to pivot away freely rolls on the track.
  • Another advantageous development provides that the guide against the feed direction of a coin and / or the orientation of the gravitational field so inclined is that the coin rolls on the guide. Due to the inclination of the lateral guide achieved that even with a brief bounce the coin from the side guide the contact from side guide and coin soon restored is and thus guarantees the best possible guidance of the coin is.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment provides before that the pressure member a rest position and deflected Layers can take it and your own Weight force is traceable to the rest position. With this arrangement can be pressed on spring elements or returning the pressure member to the rest position to be dispensed with. As a result, the manufacturing effort reduced as well as an unnecessary source of error avoided.
  • the coin guide device for switching on a coin validator and / or a machine contains. This can be done using piezoelectric elements be carried out, by influencing the pressure of the Coins a signal to turn on for example one Coin dispenser is handed over. However, it can also by the relative movement of one on the pressure member attached permanent magnets with a reed contact or a ring coil a pulse to turn on a Vending machines are given.
  • FIG. 1a shows a pressure element 4 according to the invention with an inlet 6 and a lateral guide 7, which is designed as a simple wall.
  • Fig. 1b shows another view of the pressure member according to the invention 4. From those shown in Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b Views can be seen between that as a plane Surface running inlet 6 and a wedge surface 9 there is an inlet slope 8. This enema 6 as well as the adjoining wedge surface 9 to a first leg 11 of the pressure element 4. Closes at right angles to this first leg a second leg 12 on a second Wedge surface 10 has.
  • first Leg 11 or the second leg 12 and the corresponding wedge surfaces 9 and 10 orthogonal to each other it is advantageous to be the first Leg 11 or the second leg 12 and the corresponding wedge surfaces 9 and 10 orthogonal to each other to arrange because this is a very simple Way in via the inlet 6 coin a plane parallel to the plane of the inlet 6 is completely braked with the wedge surfaces 9 and 10 becomes.
  • FIG. 1b also shows an indicated axis 13 which the pressing member 4 is pivotable.
  • This Axis can be used in a variety of ways according to the state of the art Technology, for example with the help of a Pen, which is guided by designated eyes a sliding bush, a snap connection etc.
  • FIG. 2a shows a coin guiding device according to the invention 1
  • the pressing member 4 described above contains (in contrast to the device in Fig. 1a and 1b, the second leg 12 has a bevel 16 on).
  • the pressing member 4 is not closer to one shown pivot axis 13 with the flap 17 a Coin validator connected.
  • the pivot axis at other points of the pressure member 4 to be attached, approximately along the upper edge of the inlet 6. Swiveling around the swivel axis
  • 13 is particularly advantageous because it also includes coins 14 with a very large diameter does not jam the coin guiding device and through lateral pivoting of the pressure member 4 the way released for the coin 14 along the track 3 becomes.
  • the flap of a coin validator 17 shown in FIG. 2a also forms a wall of a coin channel 2, the Can include coins on both sides.
  • the pressure member 4 is thus in the wall 5 of the flap 17 one Coin validator or coin channel 2 integrated that at a closed coin channel 2, the inlet 6 essentially is arranged parallel to a wall 5.
  • Fig. 2b shows a side view of that shown in Fig. 2a Contraption.
  • the pressure member 4 protrudes clearly from the wall 5 of the coin channel 2 or the flap 17 of a coin acceptor.
  • a boundary surface 18 (see FIGS. 3b and 4b below) on that between the wall 5 and the boundary surface parallel to it 18 essentially just a narrow one Gap or coin channel 2 remains, the width is matched to the coins 14 to be inserted. This width also depends directly on the width of the Track 3 together.
  • the location of the pivot axis 13 with respect to the pressure member 4 or the mass distribution of the pressure member 4 is to be designed so that in the absence of external influences always the weight the pressure member 4 in returns the rest position shown in Fig. 2b.
  • At closing the flap 17 of a coin validator against the boundary surface 18 consequently becomes the pressing member 4 against its own weight from the rest position led out and when opening the flap 17th it falls into the rest position due to its own weight back.
  • additional return devices such as Feathers to be completely dispensed with.
  • a damper arrangement can also be used to be dispensed with.
  • the pressing member according to the invention 4 can be injection molded from suitable plastics are produced, a variation in mass or the center of gravity can by an additional Weighting, for example through pieces of metal in the intended Cavities of the pressure member 4 take place.
  • Each according to the mass and extent of the coin guiding device 1 coins 14 to be conducted can both Size as well as the shape and position of the pressure element 4 can be varied. It is generally advantageous to design the inlet 6 so that it is on the shorter Flank of the first leg 11 about two thirds of length. Depending on the spread of the momentum coins 14, however, this route can also can be made longer or shorter.
  • the first leg 11 stands with respect to the running rail 3 substantially perpendicular.
  • the one adjoining the first leg 11 Leg 12 is essentially arranged parallel to the running rail 3. It is recommended, a sufficiently strong inclination of the To provide track 3 so that one of the pressure member 4 did not soothe coin 14 for too long the track 3 remains, but by their own Weight force soon rolls off the track 3.
  • Other versions are of course also available than the angular relationships between Insertion direction 15, position of the first leg 11 or the second leg 12 and the running rail 3 possible.
  • FIGS. 2a to 4b The passage of a coin 14 through an inventive one Coin guiding device 1 is shown in FIGS. 2a to 4b specified.
  • 2a shows that in the feed direction 15 incoming coin 14, the first in Fig. 3a with the lateral guide 7 comes into contact.
  • the coin is in the direction perpendicular to the lateral Guide 7 braked. Part of their kinetic Energy is converted into heat or deformation work implemented, but it is also possible that a part of the impulse is converted into a swirl of the coin.
  • the coin from the wall 5 or the boundary surface 18 is enclosed laterally, moves now along the inclined lateral guide 7 in Direction of the first wedge surface 9.
  • the coin passes thereby in the transition area between the inlet 6 and the first wedge surface 9 an inlet slope 8 and slides along the wedge surface 9, in the of the guide 7 predetermined direction, towards the running track.
  • the coin is also on the second wedge surface 10 braked.
  • the coin is further braked on the wedge surfaces, furthermore, as shown in Fig. 4b, for swiveling out the pressure element 4.
  • the decelerated coin 14 is unrolled on the running rail 3.
  • the coin guiding device also contains a device not fully shown to switch on a coin validator or one Machines.
  • This allows the machine's energy requirements considerably reduced or the standby time greatly increase.
  • This can be achieved, for example be that a permanent magnet 19 attached to the Pressure member 4 is attached and protrudes therefrom, opposite the opening of a ring coil (here not shown) is arranged.
  • the ring coil is here with a circuit for detection connected to a current pulse, which in turn is the voltage supply of the coin validator or the coin machine switches on.
  • a current pulse which in turn is the voltage supply of the coin validator or the coin machine switches on.
