Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the vertical conveyance of coins by means of a Conveyor conveyor, with horizontal and vertical, over circular arc-shaped deflection paths connected Conveyor lines.
  • a device of the generic type is from EP 0.616.303 B1 previously known. This device will be on a rotating plate isolated coins over a first horizontal Conveyor section and an arcuate deflection section transferred to a vertical conveyor line to there issued individually or in a second upper horizontal Conveyor line to be taken over for further processing. This device supports only single coins by means of Recycle conveyor in the vertical direction, which helps to achieve high flow rates high circulation speeds for the circulation conveyor are required. This requires high construction costs for the training of the individual Conveyor lines.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object Method and device of the generic type to further develop that with lower circulation speeds even higher numbers of coins vertically can be promoted.
  • the invention provides that the promotion of coins in between on the conveyor arranged, extending transversely to the conveying direction Rows of elastic transport elements and these associated guiding surfaces formed chambers.
  • This Chambers can be made so large that a plurality of coins taken up inside a chamber and vertically can be promoted.
  • the coins are in the Chambers between which the chambers transverse to the conveying direction limiting elastic transport elements and the latter assigned control surfaces included.
  • the chamber volume remains in the area of a circular deflection path received because the transport elements in a promotion the coins on a circular deflection path can give way elastically.
  • the inventive method for vertical conveyance of Coins are used especially when large amounts of coins from near-ground coin storage containers into ergonomic Working heights from approx. 1 m to 1.5 m height Further processing must be promoted. This can lead to Passing on to coin sorting and counting devices or cash register terminals or the like. to be required.
  • the guide surfaces are on the top of the horizontal conveyor line the front of the vertical conveyor line and on the deflection sections arranged between these two conveying sections arranged, being in the above the horizontal Conveyor track arranged guide surface a filling opening formed for loading the chambers with the coins is.
  • the coins are thus unsorted or pre-sorted through the filler opening into the ones below Chambers of the circulation conveyor introduced and by means of elastic transport elements, which the chambers on their Front and back in the direction of movement of the circulating conveyor limit, transported.
  • the parallel to the horizontal and vertical conveyor lines and in corresponding radial distance to the circular arc deflection Guiding surfaces form the fixed upper side the chambers rotating with the circulation conveyor.
  • the distance between the circulation conveyor and the guiding surfaces are slightly larger than the height of the elastic transport elements over the surface of the Rotating conveyor. This ensures that the elastic Do not rub transport elements on the guide surfaces.
  • the height of the elastic transport elements is slightly larger than the diameter of the largest coin to be mined, so that it can be transported standing on the conveyor coins cannot jam.
  • the elastic Transport elements from rows of elastic Brushes formed bristles. These are in yours Function no brushes in the traditional sense, which ones as a sweeper, sweep the coins in front of you, but form elastic leading and trailing boundaries of the chambers. The distance between the brushes is transverse to the direction of movement of the circulation conveyor smaller than the diameter of the smallest to be mined Coin.
  • the elastic transport elements can also be made of webs, lips, slats formed of elastic material or the like. his.
  • the circulation conveyor formed as a link belt
  • the individual Belt elements transverse to the conveying direction at least twice are as wide as the direction of conveyance.
  • the width of a link belt module is transverse to Direction of rotation of the conveyor belt about four times as long the width of a single link belt module in the conveying direction.
  • only each is to form the chambers second link belt module with the cross to the conveying direction arranged transport elements provided.
  • the individual link belt modules by axes with each other pivotally connected in grooves in the circulation conveyor laterally delimiting side walls are guided. The sidewalls prevent individual coins from getting out of the chambers can fall out sideways.
  • the extended and in the Grooves in the side walls of the axes of the wall elements enable movement in precise paths that formed from the individual link belt modules Rotating conveyor.
  • the device for vertical conveyance of not shown Coins have a side view according to FIG. 1 an L-shape and includes a horizontal conveyor line 1 with a filling opening 2 for the coins, a vertical one Conveyor route 3 with one formed on the front Exit opening 4 for the coins and one for the horizontal ones and vertical conveyor lines 1 and 3 connecting arcuate deflection path 5.
  • a horizontal conveyor line 1 with a filling opening 2 for the coins
  • a vertical one Conveyor route 3 with one formed on the front Exit opening 4 for the coins and one for the horizontal ones and vertical conveyor lines 1 and 3 connecting arcuate deflection path 5.
