Definitions
- the invention relates to a coin device according to the preamble of the claim 1.
- Coin operated machines of the type mentioned are in many forms known. What they have in common is that there are several along one coin path Test sensors are arranged, the coins on different criteria, such as B. Examine size, thickness, material, etc.
- an evaluation device which is usually is formed by a microprocessor, the measurement signals from the sensors compared with stored reference values.
- An acceptance switch made by an electromagnet is operated in accordance with the output signal Evaluation device switched so that they forward coins to be accepted and Put unacceptable coins into a return channel.
- a presence sensor arranged downstream of the acceptance switch determines if the coin has passed the switch
- a coin sorting of the acceptance gate is also common downstream, which stores the coins depending on their value in different memories (Coin tubes) conducts. It is known for this, also switches in the form of flaps or the like to use. Such flaps are also from an electromagnet actuated, which in turn are controlled by the microprocessor.
- the invention has for its object to provide a coin device in which the Path between a sensor for a coin and one downstream of the sensor Soft can be minimized.
- the evaluation device generates a bias signal for the electromagnet, which is before the generation of the control signal and is initiated by a signal from an upstream sensor.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that the magnetization can already be started before the switch or flap is to perform a movement. If e.g. B. the last test sensor generates a measurement signal, this can be used to set the magnetization of the magnet for the acceptance gate in motion, either immediately or at a predetermined interval after the occurrence of the measurement signal, this interval can be varied depending on Size of a coin. It is understood that a coin with a larger diameter faster "on the acceptance gate than a smaller coin. Therefore, the magnetization with a larger diameter coin should be done earlier than with a smaller coin.
- the electromagnet of the acceptance gate is magnetized independently whether the microprocessor generates an accept or return signal. At the start The pre-magnetization is therefore still open as to whether the detected coin is accepted or is rejected. It is therefore necessary to interrupt the magnetization process if the magnet should not be operated. Hence the magnetization interrupted when the evaluation device has no control signal for the electromagnet generated. This control signal can only be generated when the above described comparison between the measurement signals of the test sensors and the reference values has taken place.
- the invention has the advantage that the path of the coin from a test sensor to assigned switch can be interpreted relatively short. Another advantage is there in that the magnet can be dimensioned relatively small. It is understood that the distance to travel for the coin depending on the size of the magnet can be reduced. The more powerful a magnet is, the faster it can address and operate a switch. In the case of coin operated devices, however, the aim is To design electromagnets as small as possible, and not just for cost, but also to save space.
- a coin device 10 is shown in perspective, as is known per se. It its structure should not be described in detail either. You recognize one Coin insertion slot 12, which is adjoined by an area in which the coin is on a career (not shown) moved along sensors 14, which is a coin at 16 is shown, check for different properties. One in the last direction The sensor is labeled CP2. After leaving the coin career is the shown coin 16 above a coin switch 18 in the form of a horizontal Axis pivotable flap which is actuated by an electromagnet 20. Each after actuation of the acceptance switch 18, the coin passes vertically below arranged acceptance shaft 22 or over a career in an adjacent Return slot 24.
- FIG. 3 shows how the acceptance magnet 20 is actuated. It is because of one DC voltage source 26 and is switched on or in with the aid of an electronic switch 28. switched off.
- the electronic switch 28 is located above a PWM actuator 30 (Pulse width modulation), which in turn is controlled by a microprocessor CPU or 32 becomes.
- the microprocessor 32 is also the evaluation device for the 1, that of the individual sensors 14, CP2 and of a presence sensor CP3 contains signals, for example for controlling the acceptance magnets 20.
- the microprocessor compares the measurement signals from the test probes with stored reference values and generates an acceptance signal for a coin to be accepted and a return signal if the coin is not accepted.
- the acceptance gate is accordingly 18 actuated by the electromagnet 20.
- the acceptance magnet 20 is activated when the microprocessor Has carried out the target / actual value comparison and has generated a corresponding signal. in the In the present case, however, a bias signal is already generated when the Coin 16 has passed the last test sensor CP2. The acceptance magnet 20 is already powered so that its bias can begin. Will due of the comparison in the microprocessor, the coin 16 is found to be good Magnetization continued until the switch 18 is actuated, so that the Coin z. B. is directed into the acceptance shaft 12. In contrast, is in the microprocessor determined that the coin is to be rejected, a return signal is generated which then the magnetization of the acceptance magnet 20 interrupts.
- Fig. 2 On the timeline (a) is the Pulse of the last test sensor CP2 shown.
- the time axis (b) is solid Lines the magnetization signal for the acceptance magnet 20 shown without bias.
- the impulse for the premagnetization is in dashed lines shown.
- the pulse of the presence sensor CP3 is on the time axis (c) shown.
- On the time axis (d) the pre-magnetization time period is rejected Coin depicted. It is labeled x. From the illustration you can see that with the generation of a signal from the last test sensor CP2, the magnetization at the same time of the acceptance magnet begins. After the signal from CP2 has ended the comparison of the test signals with the reference values in the microprocessor.
- a further sensor 14.1 is shown, the diameter of the coins measures. In this way, the size of the diameter and the PWM actuator 30 control the magnetization of the magnet 20. With a larger one Diameter, it is necessary to achieve a faster response to the acceptance gate than with a smaller diameter.

Description
aufgrund des größten Luftspaltes zu Beginn ist die Anfangskraft am Kleinsten und führt mithin noch nicht zu einer Bewegung der Ankers;
während der Anzugsbewegung verkleinert sich der Luftspalt, und die Kraft wird größer, bis die Klappe gegen den Anschlag trifft.
