Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Münzgerät mit einer Lichtschranke nach dem Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a coin device with a light barrier according to claim 1.
Es ist bekannt, an mehreren Orten in Münzgeräten Lichtschranken anzuordnen. Eine Lichtschranke besteht bekanntlich aus einem Sende- und einem lichtempfindlichen Empfangselement, und das Empfangselement registriert, wenn das vom Sendeelement, beispielsweise einer Sendediode, ausgehende Licht unterbrochen wird. So kann eine derartige Lichtschranke z. B. als Anwesenheitsfühler in einem Münzprüfgerät eingesetzt werden.It is known to arrange light barriers in several places in coin devices. As is known, a light barrier consists of a transmitting and a light-sensitive receiving element, and the receiving element registers when the light emitted by the transmitting element, for example a transmitting diode, is interrupted. Thus, such a light barrier z. B. be used as a presence sensor in a Münzprüfgerät.
Vielen Münzprüfgeräten ist ein Geldwechsler zugeordnet, der in der Regel Münzspeichertuben enthält, in welche Münzen niedriger Werte einsortiert werden und aus welchen Münzen als Wechselgeld ausgezahlt werden. Es ist für den einwandfreien Betrieb erforderlich, den Füllstand in Münztuben zu überwachen. Zum einen wird ein Mindestfüllstand festgestellt sowie auch ein maximaler Füllstand. Im ersteren Fall muß dafür gesorgt werden, daß dem Bediener eines Automaten angezeigt ist, daß eine Wechselgeldrückgabe nicht möglich ist (Direktpreis). Im zweiten Fall muß eine Überfüllung der Tube verhindert werden, um ein Verklemmen der Münzen zu vermeiden. Es ist ferner bekannt, auch zwischen unterem und oberem Ende einer Münztube eine Lichtschranke anzuordnen. Die letztere dient dazu, den Füllstand in der Tube ggf. zu korrigieren, wenn der tatsächlich gemessene nicht mit dem registrierten übereinstimmt. Die Einsortierung in eine und die Auszahlung von Münzen aus einer Münztube wird von einem Tubenzähler überwacht. Es kann geschehen, daß diese Überwachung fehlerhaft ist. Es ist daher erforderlich, die im Speicher des Prozessors für das Münzgerät jeweils vorhandene Zahl von Münzen zu korrigieren.Many Münzprüfgeräten a coin changer is assigned, which usually contains coin storage tubes, in which coins of lower values are sorted and from which coins are paid out as change. It is necessary for proper operation to monitor the level in coin tubes. On the one hand, a minimum level is determined as well as a maximum level. In the former case, it must be ensured that the operator of a machine is indicated that a change in the return is not possible (direct price). In the second case overfilling of the tube must be prevented in order to avoid jamming of the coins. It is also known to arrange a light barrier between the lower and upper end of a coin tube. The latter is used to correct the level in the tube if necessary, if the actually measured does not match the registered one. The sorting into one and the payout of coins from a coin tube is monitored by a tube counter. It may happen that this monitoring is faulty. It is therefore necessary to correct the number of coins respectively present in the memory of the coin processor processor.
Bei ungenügender Funktion des Sendeelements, beispielsweise einem Ausfall oder einem Kurzschluß oder einer sonstigen Störung, wird dies vom Empfangselement als Abdeckung durch eine Münze oder einen sonstigen Gegenstand gewertet. Bei der Korrektur von Tubenzählern kommt es daher zu falschen Werten.In case of insufficient function of the transmitting element, such as a failure or a short circuit or other interference, this is evaluated by the receiving element as a cover by a coin or other object. The correction of tube counters therefore leads to incorrect values.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Münzgerät mit Lichtschranke so auszuführen, daß die Funktion der Lichtschranke überwacht wird.The invention is therefore based on the object to perform a coin device with a light barrier so that the function of the light barrier is monitored.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lichtschranke ist der Eingang der Sendediode an eine Überwachungsschaltung angeschlossen, die ihrerseits mit einer Steuer- und Auswerteschaltung verbunden ist. Das Ausgangssignal des lichtempfindlichen Empfangselements wird nicht verarbeitet, wenn das Potential am Eingang der Sendediode unterhalb oder oberhalb eines vorgegebenen Spannungsbandes liegt.In the light barrier according to the invention, the input of the transmitting diode is connected to a monitoring circuit, which in turn is connected to a control and evaluation circuit. The output signal of the photosensitive Receiving elements is not processed when the potential at the input of the transmitting diode is below or above a predetermined voltage band.
Aus Energiespargründen und zur Verlängerung der Standzeit ist es üblich, die Sendedioden einer Lichtschranke bei Münzprüfern nicht kontinuierlich mit Spannung zu beaufschlagen, sondern nur von Zeit zu Zeit kurzzeitig. Hierfür wird eine Aktivierungsleitung verwendet, die ggf. über einen Schalttransistor die Sendediode an eine Spannungsquelle anschließt. Erst in diesem Fall beginnt die Sendediode Licht abzugeben, beispielsweise im Infrarotbereich. Falls das lichtempfindliche Empfangselement nicht abgedeckt ist, gibt dieses ein Ausgangssignal ab. Im anderen Fall gibt dieses kein oder ein anderes Ausgangssignal ab, das entsprechend in der Steuer- und Auswerteschaltung verarbeitet wird. Falls an der Diode ein Kurzschluß eintritt oder eine Unterbrechung, ändert sich das Potential am Eingang der Sendediode und liegt außerhalb eines Spannungsbandes, das normalerweise eingehalten wird, wenn die Sendediode fehlerfrei arbeitet.For energy saving reasons and to extend the service life, it is customary not to continuously apply voltage to the transmitting diodes of a light barrier in the case of coin validators, but only temporarily from time to time. For this purpose, an activation line is used, which optionally connects via a switching transistor, the transmitting diode to a voltage source. Only in this case does the transmitter diode emit light, for example in the infrared range. If the photosensitive receiving element is not covered, this outputs an output signal. In the other case, this outputs no or another output signal, which is processed accordingly in the control and evaluation circuit. If a short circuit occurs at the diode or an interruption, the potential at the input of the transmitter diode changes and is outside of a voltage band, which is normally maintained when the transmitter diode is operating properly.
Wird, wie üblich, in einem Münzgerät eine Vielzahl von Lichtschranken eingesetzt, ist es denkbar, eine einzige Überwachungsschaltung vorzusehen und durch diese nach Maßgabe der Aktivierung der Sendedioden die jeweilige Lichtschranke zu überwachen.If, as usual, used in a coin device, a plurality of photoelectric sensors, it is conceivable to provide a single monitoring circuit and to monitor by the latter in accordance with the activation of the transmitting diode, the respective light barrier.
Die Erfindung ist in einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorzugsweise anwendbar auf Münzgeräte, die eine Füllstandsmessung in Münztuben aufweisen. Mit Hilfe der Erfindung lassen sich daher Fehler bei der Korrektur eines Tubenzählers wirksam vermeiden.In one embodiment of the invention, the invention is preferably applicable to coin devices which have a fill level measurement in coin tubes. With the help of the invention, errors in the correction of a tube counter can therefore be effectively avoided.
Eine andere Anwendung sieht erfindungsgemäß vor, daß die Lichtschranke zur Durchmesserbestimmung in einem Münzprüfer verwendet wird.Another application provides according to the invention that the light barrier is used for diameter determination in a coin validator.
Schließlich ist auch denkbar, die Überwachungsschaltung beim erfindungsgemäßen Münzgerät bei einer Lichtschranke zur Feststellung der Endstellung eines Motors anzuwenden, der die Ausgabe von Münzen aus den Münztuben bewerkstelligt.Finally, it is also conceivable to apply the monitoring circuit in the coin device according to the invention in a light barrier for detecting the end position of a motor, which accomplishes the output of coins from the coin tubes.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing.
Die einzige Figur zeigt ein Schaltungsbeispiel für ein Münzgerät nach der Erfindung.The sole figure shows a circuit example of a coin device according to the invention.
In der Figur ist eine Lichtschranke dargestellt, bestehend aus einer lichtemittierenden Diode D1, die z. B. Infrarotlicht abgibt, und einem lichtempfindlichen Empfangselement T1, ein Transistor. Eine derartige Lichtschranke ist z. B. vorgesehen an einer Münztube eines Geldwechslers für ein Münzgerät zur Feststellung des Pegels der Münzen in der Münztube. Üblicherweise weist jede Münztube zwei oder drei derartige Lichtschranken auf. Es ist aber auch denkbar, eine derartige Lichtschranke zur Anwesenheitsbestimmung aller Münzen in einem Münzgerät vorzusehen oder zur Bestimmung der Endstellung eines Motors für eine Auszahlvorrichtung aus einer Münztube oder dergleichen.In the figure, a light barrier is shown, consisting of a light emitting diode D1, the z. B. emits infrared light, and a photosensitive receiving element T1, a transistor. Such a light barrier is z. B. provided on a coin tube of a coin changer for a coin device for detecting the level of the coins in the coin tube. Usually, each coin tube has two or three such light barriers. However, it is also conceivable to provide such a light barrier for determining the presence of all coins in a coin device or for determining the end position of a motor for a payout device from a coin tube or the like.
Derartige Lichtschranken werden nicht permanent eingeschaltet, sondern periodisch. Die Einschaltung erfolgt über einen Schalttransistor T2, der über einen Widerstand sowie mit einer Aktivierungsleitung A1 verbunden ist. Die Aktivierungsleitung ist an eine geeignete Spannungsquelle angeschlossen. Diese legt an die Diode D1 eine Spannung U1 an, wobei ein Teil der Spannung am Widerstand W2 abfällt. Der lichtempfindliche Transistor ist mit einer Ausgangsleitung Q1 verbunden, die zu einer nicht gezeigten Steuer- und Auswertevorrichtung führt. Die Steuer- und Auswerteschaltung fragt im Takt mit der Aktivierung der Diode D1 die Leitung Q1 ab, um festzustellen, ob die Strecke zwischen Diode D1 und Transistor frei oder durch einen Gegenstand unterbrochen ist.Such photocells are not permanently switched on, but periodically. The switching on via a switching transistor T2, which is connected via a resistor and with an activation line A1. The activation line is connected to a suitable voltage source. This applies to the diode D1 a voltage U1, wherein a part of the voltage across the resistor W2 drops. The photosensitive transistor is connected to an output line Q1, which leads to a control and evaluation device, not shown. The control and evaluation circuit queries the line Q1 in time with the activation of the diode D1, to determine if the path between diode D1 and transistor is free or interrupted by an object.
Mit einem Punkt zwischen dem Widerstand W2 und der Anode der Diode D1 ist eine Steuer- und Auswerteschaltung AW verbunden. Diese ermittelt das Potential an dem besagten Punkt, das bei intakter Diode D1 sich innerhalb einer bestimmten Bandbreite bewegt. Wird hingegen bei der Aktivierung der Diode D1 ein oberhalb oder unterhalb dieser Bandbreite liegendes Potential gemessen, wird über eine Leitung Q2, die mit der Steuer- und Auswerteschaltung verbunden ist, ein entsprechendes Signal abgegeben. Dieses Signal sorgt dafür, daß das Ausgangssignal des Transistors nicht gewertet wird, weil es möglicherweise ein Falschsignal ist. Befindet sich z. B. kein Hindernis in der Lichtschranke, wird aber vom Transistor ein Signal abgegeben, das dem Vorhandensein eines Hindernisses entspricht, würde ein Falschsignal abgegeben. Z. B. würde für eine Münztube ein Füllstand angezeigt, der in Wahrheit nicht existiert.With a point between the resistor W2 and the anode of the diode D1, a control and evaluation circuit AW is connected. This determines the potential at the said point, which, with the diode D1 intact, moves within a certain bandwidth. If, on the other hand, a potential lying above or below this bandwidth is measured during the activation of the diode D1, a corresponding signal is output via a line Q2 which is connected to the control and evaluation circuit. This signal ensures that the output signal of the transistor is not evaluated because it may be a false signal. Is z. B. no obstacle in the light barrier, but if a signal is emitted by the transistor, which corresponds to the presence of an obstacle, a false signal would be emitted. For example, a level would be displayed for a coin tube that does not actually exist.
