Definitions

  • the invention relates to a throw-in device for coins for forwarding in a coin validator or a coin-operated machine according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • slot locks are preceded by coin validators which are located in automatic machines, such as parking, ticketing or vending machines or the like, in order to produce a certain spatial separation to avoid manipulation and vandalism.
  • coin validators located in automatic machines, such as parking, ticketing or vending machines or the like, in order to produce a certain spatial separation to avoid manipulation and vandalism.
  • a throw-in device which tries to stem the manipulation and destruction.
  • This device has a throw-in slit, an underlying return and a rotatable disc with a segment for receiving coins is excluded.
  • sensors and detectors are provided which check the properties of a coin received in the recessed area, for example the diameter or the alloy.
  • the disc In the rest position, the disc is arranged in such a way that the recessed area lies behind the slot and can receive a coin.
  • a motor rotates the disc by a certain angular range, wherein, taking into account the sensor and detector signals, it is decided whether the coin should be accepted. If this is the case, the disc continues to rotate until the coin falls from the recessed area into a corresponding cash register or the like. If the coin is not accepted, the disc rotates in the other direction until the recessed area coincides with the return.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a throw-in device for coins for forwarding in a coin validator or a coin-operated machine, can be reduced with the manipulation possibilities.
  • the drum or disc which has the receiving area for coins, is substantially covered by a flap which is to be opened in an ejection position, it is possible to eject foreign material, whereby compressible objects, eg folded or folded objects, can also be ejected through the flap opening compressed paper that would otherwise not be removable and cause clogging of the entire device.
  • the insertion device also referred to as a slot lock with a drum
  • is "self-cleaning" ie the control unit for controlling the coin insertion and forwarding process detects via sensors or the motor current of the drive motor whether foreign bodies, such as paper, cardboard, sheets or the like, for example in the Slit portion or all or part of the receiving area of the drum are present or clamped and controls the drum in their movement such that it travels several times in both directions on the ejection position, whereby the drum covering flap in the direction of gravity opens wide and so in most cases the debris is removed downwardly or due to the movement of the drum and flap back out through the insertion slot. This avoids many service incidents requiring skilled personnel to drive to the machine locations to retrieve debris from the throw-in device.
  • the flap is in communication with an opening mechanism which is designed, for example, as a cam track provided on the drum and as a lever arrangement connected to the flap. Due to this forced control via the cam-controlled mechanism, the flap can be opened wide during rotation of the drum without additional drives and the opening mechanism can be produced cost-effectively.
  • the flap is equipped with a biased return spring, by which it can be brought back into the closed position.
  • a detection sensor for detecting the approach of a coin is arranged, and depending on a signal of the detection sensor from a rest position in which the insertion slot is closed, is rotatable in the receiving position. In this way, the insertion slot is always closed in the idle state, whereby the insertion or insertion of foreign objects is prevented in just this rest position. It is thus provided an effective slot lock.
  • position sensors for detecting the position of the drum are advantageously provided, wherein in an advantageous embodiment these are designed as light barriers and / or as Hall sensor arrangements.
  • the light barrier additionally offers the possibility of recognizing objects, in particular foreign objects, which do not fall out or roll out in the dispensing position, such as paper.
  • a sensor is provided for detecting the position of the flap, which may be designed, for example, as a forked light barrier, as this can be used to detect jamming and manipulation attempts.
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view corresponding to FIG. 2 in the
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view transverse to the drum according to with open flap
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the drum of the throwing device according to the invention with opening mechanism.
  • the in Figs. 1 to 5 has a front part 1 with coin insertion slot 2, a central part 3 on which a rotatable drum 4 is mounted and a motor 5 with a corresponding gear 5 1 (see FIG. 4) are arranged, and a back part 6 with a coin exit 7 and a printed circuit board 8 with an electronic control unit for Control of the functions of the throw-in device, on.
  • the drum 4 has a disk-like design and is provided with a recess 9, which serves for receiving coins of different sizes inserted over the insertion slot 2 and thus has a circular arc shape at least in the part of the depression facing away from the periphery of the drum 4.
  • the drum 4 is, for the most part, covered by a flap 10, as can be seen in FIGS.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 which are located above the drum 4 and is provided in the region of the geared motor 5.
  • the flap 10 covers the drum in such a way that a coin accommodated in the receiving area 9 can not fall out during its transport from the receiving position of the coins to their delivery position at the coin exit 7, ie the flap 10 forms the coins during the transport of the coins Boundary wall of the drum 4 and the receiving region 9.
  • the throw-in device comprises a number of sensor arrangements.
  • a sensor 12 is disposed on the printed circuit board 8 (see FIG. 2), which cooperates with one or more permanent magnets 23 provided on or in the drum 4 (see FIG. 5) and the delivery position of the coin to the coin exit 7 scans.
  • light barrier elements 11 are arranged on the printed circuit board similar to a fork light barrier, wherein corresponding openings 13 in
  • Reception area 9 of the drum 4 and are provided in the full range of the drum over which the light barrier can close.
  • One aperture serves to detect the pick-up position, while the other serves to detect the unrolling of the coin in the dispensing position, but also opposing those that do not roll out.
  • a fork light barrier 14 is still provided, this light barrier is broken by a formed on the flap 10 arm 15 in the rest position of the flap 10. In this way, the closed position of the flap 10 can be detected.
  • Drum 4 is arranged, and a lever mechanism 17 is composed.
  • the flap 10 is widely opened in the ejection position (in the present case, wide means an opening angle of up to 45 °, which however depends on the available space and may be smaller, for example up to 30 °).
  • a return spring 18 is attached to the flap 10, which is also secured to the housing and the flap 10 resets.
  • a coil 19 is arranged, which encloses the coin insertion slot 2 and is shielded by a shield 21 against external interference. It represents a detector for coins approaching the throw-in slot 2.
  • Fig. 2 the coin receiving position is shown, in which case, as already noted, the flap 10 is not visible.
  • the drum 4 is in the rest position in a position in which the opening of the receiving area 9 is approximately upwards, such that the coin insertion slot 2 is hidden by the circumference of the drum 4 and no coin 20 can be inserted.
  • the detector formed as a coil 19 outputs a signal to the control unit on the circuit board 8, which in turn drives the geared motor to move the drum 4.
  • the drum 4 is thus rotated after the detection of the coin 20 in the receiving position shown in FIG. 2, whereby the slot 2 is released.
  • the inserted through the insertion slot 2 coin 20 which may have different diameters and thicknesses, rolls into the receiving area 9, which is covered by the flap 10.
  • the control unit controls the drum 4 and the corresponding motor 5, which is in operative connection with it, for rotation in the clockwise direction, whereby the coin insertion slot 2 is simultaneously closed.
  • the coin which has not yet been checked for its properties in the exemplary embodiment, rolls independently from the receiving area 9 into the coin exit 7 and is forwarded, for example, to a coin validator or vending machine or the like for its checking. This is shown in Figure 3, wherein the exiting coin 20 can be seen in Fig.l. Also this position can be used as a rest and starting position of the drum 4.
  • the position of the drum 4 is detected via the light barrier and the Hall sensor 12.
  • the provided light barrier is used to monitor the rolling out of the coin 20.
  • this position it offers the possibility to sell items that are not roll out, to recognize, for example, paper.
  • the drum 4 is further rotated, since this is the shortest path to the insertion slot 2, and reaches the ejection position.
  • the coin receiving area 9 is thereby opened by lifting off the flap 10 from the drum 4 downwards, whereby any existing foreign objects or dirt can fall out, the flap 10 is widely opened by the cam track 16 on the drum rear side in conjunction with the lever system 17, which is shown in Fig.l and Fig.4. Through this flap opening also fall compressible objects, e.g. Fold out folded paper that would otherwise not be removable.
  • the closing of the flap 10 is spring-actuated via the return spring 18.
  • the closed position of the flap 10 is monitored via the forked light barrier 15, which is mounted on the printed circuit board 8 protected and by the hook or arm 15 at the
  • Flap 10 is triggered. This makes it possible to detect deadlocks and manipulation attempts.
  • the drum 4 is from the
  • Dispensing position at the coin exit 7 counterclockwise turned to the rest position.
  • the drum 4 is rotated from the rest position to the coin receiving position counterclockwise, so that the slot opening is released from top to bottom and the waiting coin falls into the receiving area 9 of the drum 4.
  • a web 22 is designed so that the gap between the front wall and Coin drum 4 is closed. As a result, even small coins roll into the drum 4 and do not fall into the gap. With the opening of the flap 10, this area is released and does not hinder the ejection of foreign bodies.
  • the control unit stops the geared motor 5 due to the monitoring of the motor current which increases in blocking, and the drum 4 is moved in the reverse direction of rotation. Due to the relatively large distance between the edge of the drum and the lower slot edge in the front 1, it is ensured that foreign objects that protrude slightly after insertion from the drum area, do not jam during rotation of the drum in the direction of the Fremdgeldschachts. In particular, paper is compressed during rotation in the slot area and pulled when ejecting through the shaft between the drum and front.
  • the control unit preferably runs a control program in which the motor does not change its direction only once when the current increases, but instead a change in direction of rotation takes place several times and thus the flap 10 is opened several times, through which the jams are eliminated.
  • this control program of the multiple direction of rotation change can be performed with appropriate flap openings even if foreign objects are detected by the light barrier (s).
