Definitions
- the invention relates to a coin validator according to claim 1.
- the invention relates to a coin validator with damping means for the movement of the coins.
- a damping coin guiding device has become known from DE 197 55 467.
- a pivotable pressure member with wedge surfaces is provided, the Pressure member essentially parallel to a wall of the coin channel Has inlet, which is limited by a lateral guide.
- the coin guiding device has a runner downstream of the pressure member (coin runway) on.
- a coin damping device which has a damping roller has, which is suspended on a pendulum.
- the falling or - running coin hits the circumference of the reel with the reel being deflected to clear the way for the coin.
- the roller is provided with a peripheral chamfer, which ensures that the coin is always directed to one side of the channel wall becomes.
- a coin validator has become known in which a damping device has a lever with a specially shaped surface on which the Coin strikes with partial deflection of the lever.
- the area that normally arranged vertically in the path of the coin is opposite to the direction of rotation the coin falling on the track.
- the suspension of the lever is such that the surface moves down out of the plane of the coin to pass to allow the coin.
- this deflection only takes place when the Coin a certain distance down the slope. Only when the The lever arm is sufficient to enable the lever to be pivoted pivots and allows the coin to drop onto the coin track.
- the the lower end of the inclined surface is near the upper beginning of the coin track arranged. This ensures that the coins are essentially the most entire track length for your taxiway along the sensors to have.
- the invention is based, for a coin validation damping or Creating sedatives that ensure regardless of the size of the coins that the coins are essentially reproducible on the coin path to be checked precisely.
- the coins are said to be reproducible can be moved along a wall of the coin channel.
- a damping element is provided, which a row of obliquely extending to the direction of movement of the coin has flexible sections that extend from one wall of the coin channel to the opposite Extend the wall.
- the flexible sections are such that they partially when hitting coins deformed so that they can let the coin pass. Since the series of flexible sections is inclined, also finds a distraction in the direction of the upper end of the inclined coin path. The extent of this distraction is however depending on the geometry (thickness) of the coin. Because the flexible sections Point towards a wall, preferably towards the wall, in which at least one sensor is arranged, there is a more or less strong pressing of the coin on it Wall, so that a precisely reproducible measurement of the coin parameters is possible is.
- the flexible sections are preferably finger-shaped and arranged. They can consist of a suitable resilient plastic material, which is little is susceptible to wear and retains its spring properties over a long period of time. However, it is also conceivable to use flexible metallic sections. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flexible sections formed by the bristles of a brush as a deflecting element. Such bristles can from a suitable plastic material, from carbon fibers or the like consist. They can have a very long life, making them suitable for use can function satisfactorily in coin validators for many years.
- the pressure force can be varied by the length of the bristles. Furthermore can be done by installing it at an angle or by cutting the bristles at an angle a funnel-shaped narrowing of the coin channel can be achieved, which then depends on the diameter acts on the coin.
- the flexible sections are electrical conductive and connected to ground. If the flexible sections are not made of conductive Are metal, it is possible for the plastic material to be conductive material to mix, so that sufficient conductivity is established. To this way it is possible to place static charges on the coins, which are the measurement results can derive before the measurement. The opposite is also true possible to apply a charge to the coins by using the flexible electrical conductive sections are connected to a voltage source.
- a track carrier plate 10 of a coin validator can be seen which is pivotally mounted on a main plate 16 via hinge joints 12, 14.
- a coin slot see also Fig. 2
- a coin channel 20 is formed, along which the coin is between the plates 10, 16 runs on an inclined track 22 (Fig. 2).
- the carrier plate 10 is one Sensor assembly 24 attached from several sensors, which different Check the properties of the coin running along. Because the constructive described above Features and also the testing of coins via appropriate sensors is known, this will not be dealt with in detail.
- the tested coin runs from left to right in Fig. 1 and falls at the right end into a sorting area 26, also not described in detail, if it is genuine. In the The coins are sorted according to their value. You will be appropriate Coin tubes (not shown) fed for storage with exception the highest value coin, which is directed directly into the cash register.
- Fig. 3 the track carrier plate 10 is drawn out separately and in perspective shown.
- the beginning of the Coin track 22 is located below the slot 18. If there were none If further damping means were provided, the coins would have more or less high energy hit the coin track 22, possibly bounce or on others Way along the coin track 22, causing the accuracy the measurement would be affected.
- the coin track 22 is also for Main plate inclined. This is intended to ensure a reproducible position in the coins Measurement can be awarded.
- a damping element 30 is in the form a brush between the slot 18 and coin track 22.
- the Bristles attached to a bristle carrier 32 extend close to opposite wall of the main plate 16.
- the bristles can be in one direction be aligned, but it is also conceivable to use a kind of round brush and the round brush either stationary or rotatable about its longitudinal axis to store.
- the bristles are made of a suitable flexible, wear-resistant plastic material or for example made of carbon fibers.
- the brush is opposite the Fall direction of the coins inserted through the slot 18 inclined in such a way that the coins are not only pressed against the wall of the main plate, but also are also deflected more or less towards the upper end of the coin track 22, so that the coins hit it near the top of the coin track and start their taxiway.
- the brush on one of the two wall surfaces of the Coin channel can be attached or on the one opposite the wall, at which a print of the coins is desired.
- the length of the brush, you Angle of attack for the coins as well as the number of bristles and their thickness and their material naturally influences coin calming and is therefore to be interpreted accordingly.
- the bristles of the brush can be electrically conductive, even if they are made of plastic material consist. This allows the coins to either be massed for the purpose of dissipating any electrostatic charge or more specifically electrostatic charge.
- FIG. 4 shows how the coin channel 40 between the carrier plate 10 and the main plate 16 two brushes 42, 44 on suitable carriers 46, 48 on the track carrier plate 10 are attached to dampen an incoming coin 50.
- the bristles of brush 42 extend substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the Coin 50.
- the bristles of brush 44 are inclined and close an obtuse angle with the direction of movement. The damping effect of second brush 44 is therefore somewhat reduced compared to brush 42.
- a brush 52 can be seen in the longitudinal direction the brush has bristles of different lengths, so that there is a funnel-shaped Constriction, as shown at 54, results for the coin channel.
- the coin 50 is shown, depending on the diameter and thickness of the coin is damped to different degrees.
