Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for separating coins whose diameter and thickness are within predetermined size ranges, with a coin hopper, with at least one circulating coin conveyor, which forms a part of the rear wall of the coin hopper in the conveying direction rising, leading out of the coin hopper and coin holders for individual coins, with a Abwerf adopted for coins in the coins axially superimposed coins and with a discharge for the isolated coins.
- This discharge device consists of a sloping discharge channel provided on the inside of the conveyor belt and open towards the delivery run, so that the coins separated into the receiving holes of the conveyor belt enter the discharge passage through the receiving holes and are discharged for further treatment. Since the thickness of the conveyor belt exceeds the thickness of the coin, two coins can be conveyed axially one above the other from the coin hopper in the individual receiving holes whose cross-section only allows the inclusion of a coin.
- a disadvantage of this known device for separating coins that the secure filling of the receiving holes of the conveyor belt with coins from the coin hopper requires a certain transfer position of the coins, which can only be ensured by a complex design of the coin funnel.
- the isolated coins can hardly be aligned with the necessary accuracy within the receiving holes so that a simple detection of the coin dimensions during the discharge of the individual coins from the coin hopper is possible.
- the known device must be regarded as prone to failure, because the receiving holes tend to contamination and entering the coin hopper foreign body can be discharged unrecognized on the conveyor belt.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, an apparatus for separating coins of the type described in such a way that the individual coins are detected from the coin hopper safely through the coin conveyor and centered so that the coin dimensions determined sufficiently accurate during their promotion from the coin hopper can be.
- advantageous conditions for effective detection of foreign bodies should be created.
- the invention solves the problem set by the fact that the coin conveyor consist of two parallel in the range of the conveying strand on both sides of a sliding bar for the coins running, jointly driven, endless traction means and the coin holders from each other in pairs, provided on the traction means driving pins, via the sliding bar protrude beyond a predetermined maximum coin thickness exceeding measure, and that the sliding bar carries as Abwerf drove a start-up ramp whose height is smaller than the projection of the driving pins on the slide bar, but greater than the difference from the supernatant of the drive pins and the smallest predetermined coin thickness is.
- the coin conveyor is formed by two parallel on both sides of a slide for the coins, parallel traction means, which are driven together and provided with pairwise associated driving pins which protrude over the slide bar, a safe entrainment of individual coins by the driving pins in the Coin funnel given, the sliding friction between the coins and the slide bar a secure investment of the coins on the drive pins of each Mit videuxcrues with the result that the coins between the paired drive pins are exactly centered along the slide bar moved.
- the good detection of the coins by the driving pins requires an excess length of these pins with respect to the coin thickness, which supports the entrainment of two axially adjacent coins.
- the sliding bar is assigned a serving as Abwerf adopted for the resting coins start-up ramp whose height is smaller than the projection of the driving pins on the slide bar, but larger than the difference from this supernatant and the smallest predetermined coin thickness is. This means that even when two coins with the smallest predetermined coin thickness lie on one another, the resting coin is lifted over the driving pins along the starting ramp and falls back into the coin hopper.
- the start-up ramp can be arranged downstream of the largest predetermined coin diameter and the largest predetermined coin thickness Münz bestory in the conveying direction at which abut the cross section of the passage opening exceeding foreign body, which a control intervention can be exploited to avoid damage, as long as the foreign body is not removed.
- the promotion of the coins along the slide bar in general ensures that when taking a not held between two driving pins, applied to the sliding bar coin through a subsequent, intervening between two driving pins coin the erroneously funded coin along the circumference of herschiebenden Coin is rotated away from the sliding bar and falls back into the coin hopper, such a misfeed of coins can be detected by the fact that the start-up ramp is set a set on the largest predetermined coin diameter sensor for measured in the conveying direction Münzab distren. If this sensor responds, the dimension of the conveyed material in the conveying longitudinal direction exceeds the largest predetermined coin diameter, as is the case when conveying two radially adjacent coins. About an ejector provided in the slide bar the erroneously funded coin can be dropped from the slide bar.
- the risk of bridging in the coin hopper can be countered in a simple manner that the coin hopper is assigned a vibrating device, which is turned on at least when needed.
- a sensor in the region of the sliding web can be arranged immediately adjacent to the coin funnel, which detects the entrainment of a coin by each pair of driving pins and briefly turns on the vibrating device during an empty conveyance.
- the formation of the coin holders of the coin conveyor in the form of driving pins makes the device less susceptible to contamination by contamination. Nevertheless, maintenance is necessary, for example, for removal of debris from the area of the conveyor.
- the conveyor belt of the coin conveyor is easily accessible for maintenance, the coin conveyor can be rotatably mounted about an upper pivot axis in a frame and pivoted from a working position in a pivoted away from the coin hopper maintenance position.
- the illustrated apparatus for separating coins 1 has a frame 2, in which, for example, two coin conveyors 3 are mounted in a housing 4, which pivots about an upper pivot axis 5 from the drawn in full lines, swung-out maintenance position in the dash-dotted lines indicated, swiveled working position can be, in which the housing 4 is locked to the frame 2.
- Each coin conveyor 3 has two pulleys 6 designed as gears, about which the two parallel traction means 7 are guided endlessly. Between the conveying strand of these two traction means 7, which are preferably designed as a toothed belt, a sliding web 8 extends for the coins 1, compared to the conveyor belt of the traction means. 7 are slightly set back.
- the traction means 7 carry each pairwise associated driving pins 9, which project beyond the sliding web 8, by a dimension that exceeds the largest predetermined coin thickness.
- the coins 1 can therefore be detected between the driving pins 9 associated with each other on both sides of the sliding web 8 and displaced along the sliding web 8 rising in the conveying direction.
- a motor 10 which drives the lower pulley 6 for the traction means 7 via a belt drive 11.
- the frame 2 carries a coin hopper 12, the rear wall 13 is formed by the frame and in the region of the rear wall 13 by at least one coin conveyor 3, which projects through a recess 14 in the coin hopper 12, as the Fig. 2 shows.
- the coin hopper 12 carried by the frame 2 is provided with a vibrator 15.
- This vibrator 15 consists for example of two the two coin conveyors 3 associated Hinttelmagneten which act in the coin hopper 2 projecting, loaded by return springs slide 16, so that on these slide 16 of the Münzstock can be shaken within the Münztrichters 12 if necessary, to prevent bridge formation ,
- a storage container 17 for filling the coin funnel 12 is a storage container 17, from which the coins 1 are discharged in dependence on the respective filling level height of the coin funnel 12 by means of a conveyor 18.
- the coin 1 received by the coin hopper 12 are detected by the driving pins 9 of the coin conveyor 3 and discharged along the sliding webs 8 from the coin hopper 12 upwards.
- the driving pins 9 of the coin conveyor 3 By a provided in the slide bar 8 sensor 19 which responds when no coin is conveyed by a Mit Meetinguxcru, the regular discharge of the coins 1 is monitored from the Münztrichter 12 by the successive Mit Meetinguxpase. In the case of empty conveying, the vibrating device 15 can thus be acted upon in order to assist the slipping of the coins 1 to be separated.
- the coin 1 detected by the pairs of driving pins 9 are fed to a rejecting device, which erroneously on the isolated coin 1 axially resting coin 1 back into the coin hopper 12th promotes.
- This ejector consists of a ramp 20, as shown in the Fig. 4 is shown in more detail.
- the starting ramp 20 has a height which is smaller than the projection of the driving pins 9 on the slide web 8, but greater than the difference of this supernatant and the smallest predetermined coin thickness, so that each resting on a single coin 1 coin along the start-up ramp 20th is lifted over the driving pins 9 and falls back into the coin hopper 12.
- An erroneous discharge of the coins 1 is also given when another coin is pushed along the slide bar 8 in front of him by a held between two drive pins 9 coin 1.
- a sensor 21 is provided which detects the extension of the coins 1 in the conveying direction and responds when the detected longitudinal extent exceeds the predetermined largest coin diameter.
- a subsequent ejector 22 provided in the slide web 8 can be acted upon, which ejects the erroneously conveyed coin 1 from the slide web 8 back into the coin funnel 12, as described with reference to the right coin conveyor 3 in FIG Fig. 2 is recognizable.
- the detected coins 1 are ejected via the respective coin detection means 23 controlled discharge means 25, for example electromagnetic ejector, into a collecting container. Unrecognized coins 1 also arrive via the discharge end of the respective coin conveyor 3 in a collecting container.
- a sensor 26 following the discharge device 25 the proper dropping of the recognized coins or the discharge of the unrecognized coins can be monitored.
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Vereinzeln von Münzen, deren Durchmesser und Dicke innerhalb vorgegebener Größenbereiche liegen, mit einem Münztrichter, mit wenigstens einem umlaufenden Münzförderer, dessen in Förderrichtung ansteigendes, nach oben aus dem Münztrichter führendes Fördertrum einen Teil der Rückwand des Münztrichters bildet und Münzaufnahmen für einzelne Münzen aufweist, mit einer Abwerfeinrichtung für in den Münzaufnahmen axial übereinanderliegende Münzen und mit einer Austragseinrichtung für die vereinzelten Münzen.The invention relates to a device for separating coins whose diameter and thickness are within predetermined size ranges, with a coin hopper, with at least one circulating coin conveyor, which forms a part of the rear wall of the coin hopper in the conveying direction rising, leading out of the coin hopper and coin holders for individual coins, with a Abwerfeinrichtung for coins in the coins axially superimposed coins and with a discharge for the isolated coins.
Übliche Vereinzelungsvorrichtungen für Münzen weisen eine mit Aufnahmelöchern für die Münzen versehene Förderscheibe im Bereich der Rückwand eines Münztrichters auf. Um die Nachteile solcher die Münzen einzeln aus dem Münztrichter nach oben ausfördernden Scheiben zu vermeiden, wurde bereits eine Vorrichtung zum Vereinzeln von Münzen vorgeschlagen (
Darüber hinaus ist es bei einer Vorrichtung zum Vereinzeln von Münzen bekannt (
Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Vereinzeln von Münzen der eingangs geschilderten Art so auszugestalten, daß die einzelnen Münzen aus dem Münztrichter sicher durch den Münzförderer erfaßt und so zentriert werden, daß die Münzabmessungen ausreichend genau während ihrer Förderung aus dem Münztrichter bestimmt werden können. Außerdem sollen vorteilhafte Voraussetzungen für eine wirksame Fremdkörpererkennung geschaffen werden.The invention is therefore based on the object, an apparatus for separating coins of the type described in such a way that the individual coins are detected from the coin hopper safely through the coin conveyor and centered so that the coin dimensions determined sufficiently accurate during their promotion from the coin hopper can be. In addition, advantageous conditions for effective detection of foreign bodies should be created.
Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, daß der Münzförderer aus zwei parallelen im Bereich des Fördertrums beidseits eines Gleitsteges für die Münzen verlaufenden, gemeinsam angetriebenen, endlosen Zugmitteln und die Münzaufnahmen aus einander paarweise zugeordneten, an den Zugmitteln vorgesehenen Mitnehmerstiften bestehen, die über den Gleitsteg um ein die vorgegebene größte Münzdicke übersteigendes Maß vorstehen, und daß der Gleitsteg als Abwerfeinrichtung eine Anlauframpe trägt, deren Höhe kleiner als der Überstand der Mitnehmerstifte über dem Gleitsteg, aber größer als die Differenz aus dem Überstand der Mitnehmerstifte und der kleinsten vorgegebenen Münzdicke ist.The invention solves the problem set by the fact that the coin conveyor consist of two parallel in the range of the conveying strand on both sides of a sliding bar for the coins running, jointly driven, endless traction means and the coin holders from each other in pairs, provided on the traction means driving pins, via the sliding bar protrude beyond a predetermined maximum coin thickness exceeding measure, and that the sliding bar carries as Abwerfeinrichtung a start-up ramp whose height is smaller than the projection of the driving pins on the slide bar, but greater than the difference from the supernatant of the drive pins and the smallest predetermined coin thickness is.
Da der Münzförderer durch zwei beidseits eines Gleitsteges für die Münzen verlaufende, parallele Zugmittel gebildet wird, die gemeinsam angetrieben werden und mit einander paarweise zugeordneten Mitnehmerstiften versehen sind, die über den Gleitsteg entsprechend vorstehen, ist eine sichere Mitnahme einzelner Münzen durch die Mitnehmerstifte im Bereich des Münztrichters gegeben, wobei die Gleitreibung zwischen den Münzen und dem Gleitsteg eine sichere Anlage der Münzen an den Mitnehmerstiften jedes Mitnehmerstiftpaares mit der Folge bedingt, daß die Münzen zwischen den paarweise angeordneten Mitnehmerstiften genau zentriert entlang des Gleitsteges verschoben werden. Das gute Erfassen der Münzen durch die Mitnehmerstifte erfordert eine Überlänge dieser Stifte in bezug auf die Münzdicke, was die Mitnahme von zwei axial aneinanderliegenden Münzen unterstützt. Um trotzdem das Ausfördern nur einzelner Münzen gewährleisten zu können, wird dem Gleitsteg eine als Abwerfeinrichtung für die aufliegenden Münzen dienende Anlauframpe zugeordnet, deren Höhe kleiner als der Überstand der Mitnehmerstifte über dem Gleitsteg, aber größer als die Differenz aus diesem Überstand und der kleinsten vorgegebenen Münzdicke ist. Dies bedeutet, daß selbst beim Aufeinanderliegen zweier Münzen mit der kleinsten vorgegebenen Münzdicke die aufliegende Münze über die Mitnehmerstifte entlang der Anlauframpe angehoben wird und in den Münztrichter zurückfällt.Since the coin conveyor is formed by two parallel on both sides of a slide for the coins, parallel traction means, which are driven together and provided with pairwise associated driving pins which protrude over the slide bar, a safe entrainment of individual coins by the driving pins in the Coin funnel given, the sliding friction between the coins and the slide bar a secure investment of the coins on the drive pins of each Mitnehmerstiftpaares with the result that the coins between the paired drive pins are exactly centered along the slide bar moved. The good detection of the coins by the driving pins requires an excess length of these pins with respect to the coin thickness, which supports the entrainment of two axially adjacent coins. In order nevertheless to be able to ensure the delivery of only individual coins, the sliding bar is assigned a serving as Abwerfeinrichtung for the resting coins start-up ramp whose height is smaller than the projection of the driving pins on the slide bar, but larger than the difference from this supernatant and the smallest predetermined coin thickness is. This means that even when two coins with the smallest predetermined coin thickness lie on one another, the resting coin is lifted over the driving pins along the starting ramp and falls back into the coin hopper.
Zur einfachen Erfassung von allenfalls Betriebsstörungen verursachenden Fremdkörpern, also Fremdkörpern, die die Münzabmessungen übersteigen, kann der Anlauframpe ein auf den größten vorgegebenen Münzdurchmesser und die größte vorgegebene Münzdicke abgestimmter Münzdurchtritt in Förderrichtung nachgeordnet werden, an dem den Querschnitt der Durchtrittsöffnung übersteigende Fremdkörper anschlagen, was zu einem Steuereingriff ausgenützt werden kann, um Beschädigungen zu vermeiden, solange der Fremdkörper nicht entfernt wird.For easy detection of any malfunction causing foreign bodies, so foreign objects that exceed the Münzabmessungen, the start-up ramp can be arranged downstream of the largest predetermined coin diameter and the largest predetermined coin thickness Münzdurchtritt in the conveying direction at which abut the cross section of the passage opening exceeding foreign body, which a control intervention can be exploited to avoid damage, as long as the foreign body is not removed.
Obwohl die Förderung der Münzen entlang des Gleitsteges im allgemeinen dafür sorgt, daß bei der Mitnahme einer nicht zwischen zwei Mitnehmerstiften gehaltenen, auf dem Gleitsteg anliegenden Münze durch eine nachfolgende, zwischen zwei Mitnehmerstiften greifende Münze die fehlerhaft geförderte Münze entlang des Umfangs der sie vor sich herschiebenden Münze vom Gleitsteg weggedreht wird und in den Münztrichter zurückfällt, kann eine solche Fehlförderung von Münzen dadurch erfaßt werden, daß der Anlauframpe ein auf dem größten vorgegebenen Münzdurchmesser eingestellter Fühler für die in Förderrichtung gemessenen Münzabmessungen nachgeordnet wird. Spricht dieser Fühler an, so übersteigt die Abmessung des Fördergutes in Förderlängsrichtung den größten vorgegebenen Münzdurchmesser, wie dies beim Fördern von zwei radial aneinanderliegenden Münzen der Fall ist. Über einen im Gleitsteg vorgesehenen Auswerfer kann die fehlerhaft geförderte Münze vom Gleitsteg abgeworfen werden.Although the promotion of the coins along the slide bar in general ensures that when taking a not held between two driving pins, applied to the sliding bar coin through a subsequent, intervening between two driving pins coin the erroneously funded coin along the circumference of herschiebenden Coin is rotated away from the sliding bar and falls back into the coin hopper, such a misfeed of coins can be detected by the fact that the start-up ramp is set a set on the largest predetermined coin diameter sensor for measured in the conveying direction Münzabmessungen. If this sensor responds, the dimension of the conveyed material in the conveying longitudinal direction exceeds the largest predetermined coin diameter, as is the case when conveying two radially adjacent coins. About an ejector provided in the slide bar the erroneously funded coin can be dropped from the slide bar.
Damit von den Mitnehmerstiften erfaßte Münzen ungehindert aus dem Münztrichter ausgetragen werden können, empfiehlt es sich, den gegenseitigen Abstand der Paare von Mitnehmerstiften größer als die zulässige Füllhöhe des Münztrichters zu wählen, so daß die jeweils vorausgehend von den Mitnehmerstiften erfaßten Münzen bereits aus dem Münztrichter ausgetragen werden, wenn die nächsten Münzen von den paarweise angeordneten Mitnehmerstiften mitgenommen werden.Thus, coins detected by the driving pins can be unimpeded discharged from the coin hopper, it is advisable to choose the mutual distance of the pairs of driving pins greater than the allowable filling height of the coin hopper, so that the respective previously detected by the driving pins coins already discharged from the coin hopper when the next coins are taken by the paired drive pins.
Der Gefahr einer Brückenbildung im Münztrichter kann in einfacher Weise dadurch begegnet werden, daß dem Münztrichter eine Rütteleinrichtung zugeordnet wird, die zumindest bei Bedarf eingeschaltet wird. Zu diesem Zweck kann im unmittelbaren Anschluß an den Münztrichter ein Fühler im Bereich des Gleitsteges angeordnet werden, der die Mitnahme einer Münze durch jedes Paar von Mitnehmerstiften erfaßt und bei einer Leerförderung die Rütteleinrichtung kurzzeitig einschaltet.The risk of bridging in the coin hopper can be countered in a simple manner that the coin hopper is assigned a vibrating device, which is turned on at least when needed. For this purpose, a sensor in the region of the sliding web can be arranged immediately adjacent to the coin funnel, which detects the entrainment of a coin by each pair of driving pins and briefly turns on the vibrating device during an empty conveyance.
Die Ausbildung der Münzaufnahmen des Münzförderers in Form von Mitnehmerstiften macht die Vorrichtung wenig strörungsanfällig durch Verschmutzung. trotzdem ist eine Wartung notwendig, beispielsweise zum Entfernen von Fremdkörpern aus dem Bereich des Förderers. Damit das Fördertrum des Münzförderers für Wartungsarbeiten einfach zugänglich wird, kann der Münzförderer um eine obere Schwenkachse drehbar in einem Gestell gelagert und aus einer Arbeitsstellung in eine vom Münztrichter weggeschwenkte Wartungsstellung verschwenkt werden.The formation of the coin holders of the coin conveyor in the form of driving pins makes the device less susceptible to contamination by contamination. Nevertheless, maintenance is necessary, for example, for removal of debris from the area of the conveyor. Thus, the conveyor belt of the coin conveyor is easily accessible for maintenance, the coin conveyor can be rotatably mounted about an upper pivot axis in a frame and pivoted from a working position in a pivoted away from the coin hopper maintenance position.
Obwohl es für die Bewegung der Mitnehmerstifte lediglich auf eine gleichförmige Bewegung der beiden umlaufenden Zugmittel ankommt, was mit Hilfe unterschiedlicher Zugmittel sichergestellt werden kann, ergeben sich besonders einfache Konstruktionsverhältnisse, wenn die beiden endlosen Zugmittel aus je einem Zahnriemen bestehen, weil solche Zahnriemen wenig anfällig gegenüber Verschmutzungen sind und ausreichend gleichförmig angetrieben werden können.Although it depends solely on a uniform movement of the two rotating traction means for the movement of the driving pins, which can be ensured by means of different traction means, particularly simple construction conditions arise when the two endless traction means consist of a toothed belt, because such timing belt less prone to Contaminants are and can be sufficiently uniformly driven.

Die dargestellte Vorrichtung zum Vereinzeln von Münzen 1 weist ein Gestell 2 auf, in dem beispielsweise zwei Münzförderer 3 in einem Gehäuse 4 gelagert sind, das um eine obere Schwenkachse 5 aus der in vollen Linien eingezeichneten, ausgeschwenkten Wartungsstellung in die strichpunktiert angedeutete, eingeschwenkte Arbeitsstellung verschwenkt werden kann, in der das Gehäuse 4 mit dem Gestell 2 verriegelt wird. Jeder Münzförderer 3 weist zwei als Zahnräder ausgebildete Umlenkrollen 6 auf, um die zwei parallele Zugmittel 7 endlos geführt sind. Zwischen dem Fördertrum dieser beiden Zugmittel 7, die vorzugsweise als Zahnriemen ausgebildet sind, verläuft ein Gleitsteg 8 für die Münzen 1, dem gegenüber die Fördertrume der Zugmittel 7 geringfügig zurückversetzt sind. Die Zugmittel 7 tragen einander paarweise zugeordnete Mitnehmerstifte 9, die über den Gleitsteg 8 vorstehen, und zwar um ein Maß, das die größte vorgegebene Münzdicke übersteigt. Die Münzen 1 können daher zwischen den einander beidseits des Gleitsteges 8 zugeordneten Mitnehmerstiften 9 erfaßt und entlang des in Förderrichtung ansteigenden Gleitsteges 8 verschoben werden. Zum Antrieb der Münzförderer 3 dient ein Motor 10, der die untere Umlenkrolle 6 für die Zugmittel 7 über einen Riementrieb 11 antreibt.The illustrated apparatus for separating
Das Gestell 2 trägt einen Münztrichter 12, dessen Rückwand 13 durch das Gestell und im Bereich der Rückwand 13 durch wenigstens einen Münzförderer 3 gebildet wird, der durch eine Ausnehmung 14 in den Münztrichter 12 ragt, wie dies die
Die vom Münztrichter 12 aufgenommenen Münzen 1 werden durch die Mitnehmerstifte 9 der Münzförderer 3 erfaßt und entlang der Gleitstege 8 aus dem Münztrichter 12 nach oben ausgetragen. Durch einen im Gleitsteg 8 vorgesehenen Fühler 19, der anspricht, wenn durch ein Mitnehmerstiftpaar keine Münze ausgefördert wird, wird die regelmäßige Ausförderung der Münzen 1 aus dem Münztrichter 12 durch die aufeinanderfolgenden Mitnehmerstiftpaare überwacht. Bei einer Leerförderung kann somit die Rütteleinrichtung 15 beaufschlagt werden, um das Nachrutschen der zu vereinzelnden Münzen 1 zu unterstützen. Die von den paarweise angeordneten Mitnehmerstiften 9 erfaßten Münzen 1 werden einer Abwerfeinrichtung zugeführt, die fehlerhaft auf der vereinzelten Münze 1 axial aufliegende Münze 1 zurück in den Münztrichter 12 fördert. Diese Abwerfeinrichtung besteht aus einer Anlauframpe 20, wie sie in der
Eine fehlerhafte Ausförderung der Münzen 1 ist auch dann gegeben, wenn durch eine zwischen zwei Mitnehmerstiften 9 gehaltene Münze 1 eine weitere Münze entlang des Gleitsteges 8 vor sich hergeschoben wird. Um diesen Fall zu erfassen, ist ein Fühler 21 vorgesehen, der die Erstreckung der Münzen 1 in Förderlängsrichtung erfaßt und anspricht, wenn die erfaßte Längserstreckung den vorgegebenen größten Münzdurchmesser übersteigt. Über den Fühler 21 kann ein im Gleitsteg 8 vorgesehener, nachfolgender Auswerfer 22 beaufschlagt werden, der die fehlerhaft ausgeförderte Münze 1 vom Gleitsteg 8 zurück in den Münztrichter 12 abwirft, wie dies anhand des rechten Münzförderers 3 in der
Damit die Münzenabmessungen übersteigende Fremdkörper keine Beschädigung der den Münzförderern 3 zugeordneten Münzerkennungseinrichtungen 23 bewirken können, ist diesen Münzerkennungseinrichtungen 23 ein Münzdurchtritt 24 vorgelagert, dessen Öffnungsquerschnitt dem größten vorgegebenen Münzdurchmesser und der größten Münzdicke entspricht, so daß alle diese Abmessungen übersteigenden Gegenstände an diesem Münzdurchtritt 24 anschlagen und einen Steuereingriff nach sich ziehen, der den Motor 10 für die Münzförderer 3 abschaltet, so daß aufgrund einer Störungsmeldung der Fremdkörper entfernt werden kann, wenn die Münzförderer 3 über das Gehäuse 4 in die Wartungsstellung ausgeschwenkt werden. Vorzugsweise wird vor dem Ausschwenken der Münzförderer 3 diese zum Entleeren um ein vorgegebenes Maß rückgedreht.In order for the coin dimensions exceeding foreign bodies can cause damage to the
Nach der Münzerkennungseinrichtung 23, die in herkömmlicher Weise eine optische Durchmesserbestimmung und eine elektromagnetische Legierungsbestimmung umfaßt, werden die erkannten Münzen 1 über von der jeweiligen Münzenerkennungseinrichtung 23 angesteuerte Austragseinrichtungen 25, beispielsweise elektromagnetische Auswerfer, in einen Sammelbehälter ausgestoßen. Nichterkannte Münzen 1 gelangen über das Abwurfende des jeweiligen Münzförderers 3 ebenfalls in einen Sammelbehälter. Durch einen der Austragseinrichtung 25 nachfolgenden Fühler 26 kann das ordnungsgemäße Abwerfen der erkannten Münzen bzw. das Ausfördern der nichterkannten Münzen überwacht werden.After the
