Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for sorting coins of different sizes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • coins are usually to be used, which are transferred to the respective machine in storage tanks.
  • the coins are sorted by hand sorting devices by size of coins usually.
  • the disadvantage here is that such a device can not be easily converted because of the complex structure of the arrangement to sort coins of varying thickness.
  • Another disadvantage of the device is that coins that are worn as a result of prolonged use, can jam in the groove and thus block the sorter.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved device for sorting coins of different sizes, which is able to sort a large number of coins, which differ in their diameter and thickness.
  • the invention relates to a device for sorting coins of different sizes with a disc-shaped centrifugal disc, from which the coins are fed via a passage of an annular guide track.
  • the width of the guideway is increasingly configured in sections along the path of the coins. From the guideway, the coins can be transferred via housing openings in the individual coin sizes associated collecting containers.
  • the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that the inner edge of the guideway is formed by the outer edge of the centrifuge bowl, and that the outer guide edge at least in sections, one of the guide track laterally facing groove whose width decreases steadily with increasing depth, so that the coins penetrate different depths deep into the groove according to their thickness. A resting on the inner leading edge and penetrated into the groove coin then lies with its upper and lower edge on the inside of the groove.
  • the particular configuration of the outer leading edge of the guideway allows one or more coin types whose thickness is smaller than the clear height of the groove, run with its edge in the groove, while the coins whose thickness is greater than the clear height of the groove , can not enter the groove.
  • This allows coins to be sorted based on their thickness.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to sort coins both by their thickness and by their diameter. If the thickness of two coin types therefore differs, they can be sorted despite about the same diameter with the device according to the invention.
  • the groove is V-shaped and formed in two parts from an attachment disk and a base disk.
  • the outer leading edge preferably has a directed towards the inner leading edge at an acute angle down sloping slope. This results in the advantage that running in the groove coins can not tilt in falling in the groove.
  • the inner leading edge is preferably provided with a lower-side undercut.
  • each section of the guideway is associated with a common collecting container, which has a removable partition wall.
  • a common collecting container which has a removable partition wall.
  • the device shown in Fig. 1 has a whip dish 1, which contains a peripheral edge 9.
  • the centrifuge plate is held via the thrust bearing 7 and the radial bearing 6 via the axis 8 in a bearing block 5, which in turn is accommodated in the chassis 4.
  • the drive of the centrifuge plate 1 via a drive ring 10 on the underside of the edge 9, which contains a Riemenausnaturalung 11 for receiving the drive belt, which is driven by a hand crank, not shown, or a motor.
  • a cone 2 In the center of the centrifuge plate 1 is a cone 2.
  • abandoned coins are laterally distributed by the cone 2 and pressed by rotation of the centrifuge plate 1 to the outside against the edge 3.
  • the coins can be thrown through the passage 12 from the centrifuge plate and reach a guideway, which is formed from the edge 9 and the outer leading edge 13.
  • the coins are moved forward on the edge 9 of the guideway until they reach a portion of the guideway which is wider than their diameter, so that they can fall through openings of the guideway in collecting container.
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlarged view of the guideway.
  • the edge 9 of the centrifuge plate has an inclined support 15, which causes the transport of the coins 16 on the guideway and at the same time by the inclination drives the coins to the outside.
  • the outer leading edge is formed by a support plate 17 and the upper guide plate 18 and the washer 19.
  • Pad 17, guide disc 18 and Washer 19 may be formed integrally as a whole.
  • the upright side edge is formed by the edge of the washer 19.
  • a coin whose thickness is greater than the clear recess 21, can not enter the recess 21, but must run along the inner edge of the upper guide plate 18. Thus, it is possible that in the same circulation section of the guideway separation of coins according to different thickness is possible.
  • a tilting of a coin in the recess 21 when falling from the slope 15 is avoided in that the bearing surface of the outer leading edge includes an inwardly sloping slope 22.
  • Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the device according to the invention in a schematic view.
  • the coins are transferred via the passage 12 along an outlet guide 27 on the guideway, which is formed from individual sections 23, 24, 25, 26.
  • the first section 23, which extends over 55 ° revolution angle, has at the outer leading edge an embodiment according to the illustration of FIG.
  • Those coins which have a thickness smaller than the clear height of the recess 21 and a correspondingly small diameter can drop off immediately in the region 23 from the guide track.
  • Those coins whose thickness is greater than the clear height of the recess 21, continue along the section 23 beyond the transition region 24 on the section 25.
  • Die Exercise des Section 25 is made larger than the width of the portion 23, so that the coins not dropped in the section 23 can be dropped in the section 25, provided that their diameter is smaller than the width of the section 25.
  • the first section 23 includes a design of the outer leading edge of FIG. 2.
  • all 1 DM coins can be sorted out, which have a diameter of 23.6 mm.
  • the clear height 21 of the outer leading edge is designed so that 1 DM coins can be guided in the recess 21.
  • 1 euro coins have a smaller diameter than 1 DM coins, namely 23.25 mm, they can not dive into the recess 21 due to their thickness and therefore also do not fall off the guideway in the section 23.
  • By appropriate dimensioning of the width of the section 25 they can fall off the guideway only in this section.
  • the embodiment of the outer leading edge according to the invention can not only be used in section 23 but can also be provided in any other of the following sections in order to use the device for other coin diameter / thickness ratios.
  • Fig. 4 shows a side view of the diarrhea openings of the guideway.
  • the diarrhea opening 28 has lateral diarrhea edges 29, 30 which are inclined in the direction of flight of the coins. This can be avoided that the falling of the guideway coins collide against a vertical edge. Rather, they are distracted by the diarrhea edges 29, 30 in the direction of collecting container.
  • the guide edge 39 has a V-shaped groove 31 whose opening angle is selected so that both a thin and a thick coin can penetrate into the groove 31, but due to the design of the groove 31 only with the upper and lower edge 35, 36 abut against the inner surface 32 of the groove 31.
  • the leading edge 39 consists of a base plate 34 and an attachment plate 33, both of which can be dismantled and replaced, so as to adapt the device by selecting a suitable set of discs to different types of coins to be sorted.
  • the groove 31 may be U-shaped, semi-circular or hyperbolic.
  • the groove 31 can be achieved that the penetration depth of a coin 16 is optimized in the groove 31 as a sorting criterion.
  • the guide portion 38 is curved convexly or concavely.
  • the curvature as stated above, the penetration depth of a coin 16 can be predetermined and optimized as a function of its thickness in order to increase the reliability of the device according to the invention during sorting.
