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 located in vending machines, such as parking, ticket machines, vending machines, or the like, to provide some spatial separation to prevent tampering and vandalism.
  • coin validators located in vending machines, such as parking, ticket machines, vending machines, or the like.
  • a throw-in device which tries to stem the manipulation and destruction.
  • This device has an insertion slot, an underlying return and a rotatable disc in which 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 such that the recessed area is behind the insertion 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 having the receiving area for coins is substantially covered by a flap which is controlled to open in an ejection position, it is possible to eject foreign material, and through the flap opening and compressible objects, such as folded or compressed paper that would otherwise not be removable and cause clogging of the entire device.
  • the also called slot lock with drum insertion device is "self-cleaning" executed, ie the control unit for controlling the Münzeinsch- and forwarding detected 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 slot area or wholly or partially in the receiving area of the drum are present or clamped and controls the drum in their movement such that it repeatedly moves in both directions over the Auswerfergna, whereby the drum covering flap opens in the direction of gravity wide and so in most cases the foreign body downwards or due to the movement of the drum and the flap through the insertion slot are removed again to the outside.
  • many service occasions are avoided: in which the skilled personnel must drive to the points of the machine to fetch foreign objects from the throw-in device. Furthermore, destruction of the downstream Münzprüfer be avoided.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 provided in an advantageous manner, 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 for detecting the position of the flap, e.g. can be designed as a fork light barrier, as this jamming and manipulation tests can be found.
  • the in the FIGS. 1 to 5 shown throwing device comprises 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 '(see Figure 4 ) are arranged, and a rear part 6 with a coin output 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 is disc-shaped and is provided with a recess 9, which serves for receiving coins inserted over the insertion slot 2 of different sizes and thus is formed in a circular arc at least in the direction away from the periphery of the drum 4 part of the depression.
  • the drum 4 is covered for the most part by a flap 10, as in Fig. 1 and Fig.
  • Fig. 5 which is provided above the drum 4 and in the region of the geared motor 5.
  • the flap 10 covers the drum in such a way that a coin received in the receiving area 9 during its transport from the receiving position of the coins to their dispensing position at the coin exit 7 can not fall out, ie the flap 10 forms during the transport of the coins, the boundary wall of Drum 4 and the receiving area.
  • the throw-in device comprises a number of sensor arrangements.
  • a Hall sensor 12 is arranged on the printed circuit board 8 (see Fig. 2 ), with one or more provided on or in the drum 4 permanent magnet 23 (see Fig. 5 ) cooperates and scans the dispensing position of the coin to the coin exit 7.
  • light barrier elements 11 are arranged on the circuit board similar to a fork light barrier, with corresponding openings 13 are provided in the receiving area 9 of the drum 4 and 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 roll-out of the coin in the dispensing position, but also includes items, that do not roll out, be recognized.
  • 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.
  • the flap 10 In an ejection position of the drum 4, in which the receiving area 9 points substantially downwards, foreign objects present in the receiving area 9 can fall downwards.
  • the flap 10 When approaching the ejection position, the flap 10 is simultaneously forcibly operated by an opening mechanism (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 ), which in the present case consists of a cam track 16 which is arranged on the rear side of the drum 4 and a lever mechanism 17.
  • an opening mechanism see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5
  • the flap 10 is wide open in the ejection position (far means in the present case, an opening angle up to 45 °, but which is dependent 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 the slot 2 approaching coins.
  • the coin receiving position is shown, here, 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 thus becomes corresponding to the recognition of the coin 20 in the receiving position Fig. 2 rotated, whereby the slot 2 is released.
  • 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 in Figure 3 shown, with the exiting coin 20 in Fig.1 you can see. 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 intended light barrier is used to monitor the rolling out of the coin 20.
  • this position it offers the possibility of rolling out objects that do 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 the flap 10 of the drum 4 down, which may possibly drop out existing foreign objects or dirt, wherein the flap 10 is widely opened by the cam track 16 on the drum rear side in conjunction with the lever system 17, which in Fig.1 and Figure 4 is shown.
  • This flap opening also fall out compressible objects, such as folded paper, which would otherwise not be removable.
  • the closed position of the flap 10 is monitored via the forked light barrier 14, which is mounted protected on the printed circuit board 8 and is triggered by the hook or arm 15 on the flap 10. This makes it possible to detect deadlocks and manipulation attempts.
  • the drum 4 is rotated from the delivery position at the coin exit 7 in the counterclockwise direction in the rest position. As already stated, 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.
  • Fig. 1 can be seen, as well as in Fig. 4 in that a web 22 is designed on the flap wall in the slot area such 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).
