Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sequestration devices for equipping coin payment apparatus.
  • Such devices allow the purchase of a ticket such as public transport tickets or parking tax, or an object through a consumer goods distribution machine.
  • the coins can be current money, or even tokens in lieu, whether simple pieces of disc shape or objects equipped with identification means such as passive transponders.
  • the term "money” here refers to the means of trading issued by the central banks of the States and not the metal itself. If the difference between the sum paid and the value of the object or title is not zero, there is refund of coins corresponding to the amount of the difference.
  • These pieces can be taken from those previously paid, stored in containers, in bulk, stacked or arranged each in a housing. An appliance of this type is called "recycling".
  • Such devices generally comprise, on their front face, a slot for the introduction of parts and an opening called bowl, for the restitution of the difference or parts could not be identified.
  • the parts move in chutes, by gravity.
  • Such a solution very simple in its application, involves a relatively large distance between the introduction slot and the return opening, particularly with recycling devices.
  • Such a distance can be problematic for some people, for example the disabled, making it difficult to introduce or recover the money.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus in which the receipt of the payment and the return of the currency are effected in a manner simple, safe and effective, with a reduced distance between the introduction slot and the release opening.
  • the invention relates, in a first embodiment, to a device for sequestering discoidal type pieces.
  • it comprises a housing, first and second movably mounted members on the housing and means for controlling and driving these members.
  • the first member is provided with a plurality of partitions.
  • the second member has a wall at least locally adjacent to the first member and defining, at least with the partitions, housing for receiving one by one parts.
  • This wall is provided with an opening allowing the parts to be extracted one by one from their housing.
  • these members are each formed of a wheel whose central portion is hollow.
  • the partitions of the first wheel are oriented radially and the wall of the second wheel forms a core disposed in the vicinity of the inner ends of the partitions.
  • the sequestering device comprises a housing, a member movably mounted on the housing and means for controlling and driving the movable member.
  • the latter is provided with a plurality of partitions.
  • the housing includes walls adjacent to the partitions and defining with them housing.
  • the housing being provided with an inlet slot and an exit slot, the inlet slot being disposed at a level below the level of the exit slot.
  • the movable member is advantageously formed of a wheel, the partitions being oriented radially. The axis of rotation of this wheel is advantageously horizontal. Alternatively, the wheel rotates about an inclined axis.
  • the splitter 18 may be independent of the sequestering device 16 or be an integral part thereof, as will be explained below.
  • the identification module 12 determines and records its value and its order of entry. This information is addressed to the calculation module 14.
  • the part is then conducted in the sequestering device 16, which will be described in detail below.
  • the calculation module 14 finds that the amount due has been paid, it releases the sequestering device 16.
  • the coins it contains are then sent to the distributor 18, which is controlled by the identification module 12. More precisely the pieces are guided according to their order of arrival to the containers, each according to its value.
  • the sequestering module 16 illustrated in detail in FIGS. 2 to 5, essentially comprises a housing 24, a storage wheel 26, a distribution wheel 28 and motors 30 and 32 mounted on the housing 24 and respectively providing for the rotation of the wheels 26 and 28.
  • the casing 24 bears guiding and rolling means 34 and 36 of the wheels 26 and 28, advantageously rollers, better visible in FIGS. 3 to 5. Its front face is provided, in its lower portion, with a slot. entry 24a.
  • the wheels 26 and 28 are concentric, their axis of rotation advantageously being horizontal.
  • FIG. 3 shows the storage wheel 26. It comprises an external toothing 26a meshing with a pinion 30a carried by the motor 30, a full annular portion 26b and partitions 26c extending radially from the annular portion 26b towards the center and separated by generally parallelepiped-shaped interstices, as well as a tread 26d cooperating with the rollers 34.
  • the distribution wheel 28, shown in FIG. 4 comprises an external toothing 28a meshing with a pinion 32a that the motor 32 comprises, an annular wall 28b, provided with a slot 28c, a cylindrical portion 28d forming a core and provided with a a slot 28e, and a tread 28f cooperating with the rollers 36.
  • the device is initialized, so that the slot 28c is shifted one step away from the opposite direction of rotation with respect to the slot 24a.
  • the two slots can be slightly inclined in one direction and the other, the equivalent of 1/2 not. In this position, the slot 28e is then in the upper part of the wheel.
  • the first piece After passing through the identification module 12, the first piece arrives, by a chute, facing the slot 24a. She commits herself to enter the lower dwelling 38. The wheel 26 then rotates one step, presenting a new empty housing 38 facing the slot 24a. A new coin can then be introduced. Whenever a piece 40 has been introduced into a housing 38, a detector, not shown, controls the motor 30 which rotates a new pitch in the same direction. A new coin can then be introduced. During the introduction of the parts, the wheel 28 remains motionless When the calculation module 14 finds that the amount paid is greater than or equal to the amount due, it interrupts the loading of the sequestering device 16 and makes pass directly into the bowl 22a the parts that would still be engaged, by means of not shown chutes.
  • the calculation module 14 sends an order to the rendering device 22 which causes the containers 20 to leave the coins for an amount equal to the difference, which ends in the bowl 22a.
  • the identification module 12 controls the motor 30 so that the housing containing the first piece is facing the slot 28 e.
  • the distributor 18 is disposed, from the information given by the identification module 12, so that the piece, when released, is brought by gravitation into the container corresponding to its value. The piece falls then and arrives, by gravitation in the selected container.
  • the distributor 18 is repositioned according to the value of the second part, given by the identification module 12, then the wheel 26 is turned by one step, so that this second part is brought next to the 28th slot.
  • the wheel 26 is then turned in the opposite direction, the parts thus arriving one by one opposite the slot 28c and from there, by a chute not shown, to the bowl 22a. In other words, it is the introduced parts that are returned, thus avoiding a recycling of false parts for example.
  • the distribution of the parts can be performed by the distributor 18 outside the space occupied by the sequestering device 14, as explained above. It can also be directly associated with it, as can be seen in the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, by arranging the slot 28e adequately with reference to the distributor 18. In these figures, the wheels 26 can be partially seen. and 28 as well as the housing 24, part of which has been torn off.
  • Pieces 40 are visible in some of the dwellings 38.
  • the distributor 18 has five grooves 18a to 18e, the two extremes 18a and 18e opening towards the front of the drawing, the three medians towards the rear.
  • Such a distributor makes it possible to distribute the pieces between five containers, connected to the grooves by unrepresented chutes. For this purpose, when the sequestering device 14 is to be emptied, the first piece to be unloaded is arranged facing the groove corresponding to the container in which it must be sent, by rotating the wheels 26 and 28 together, so that the 28th slot remains adjacent to the housing considered.
  • the single wheel 28 is rotated, so that the slot 28e is opposite the housing to be emptied, the piece falling into the selected groove, in this case the groove 18a as can be seen in Figure 6.
  • the distributor 18 is separated from the device 14, it is possible to have only one wheel, the outlet opening of the parts being made in the housing, which comprises a portion cylindrical engaged in the wheel 26 and adjacent to the partitions 26c.
  • the pieces are at the output at a level higher than that of the input, thus reducing the difference in height between the input and output levels. restitution of the coins.
  • the wheel axis may be inclined, or even horizontal.
  • the wheels are replaced by chains, each of the links having a partition, to form as described above housing in which the parts are sequestered.
