Description

AUTOMATE A MONNAIE REALISE A PARTIR D'UN PROFIL EXTRUDE ET  AUTOMATE A CURRENCY REALIZED FROM AN EXTRUDED PROFILE AND

COMPORTANT UN COFFRE-FORT SECURISE  CONSISTING OF A SECURE SAFE

L' invention se rapporte aux automates contenant de la monnaie issue des encaissements successifs et placés en zones extérieures sujettes au vandalisme. The invention relates to automata containing money from successive casings and placed in vandal - prone outdoor areas.

Un automate contenant de la monnaie et ou des billets de banques comporte un compartiment renforcé apte à résister au vandalisme. Généralement, deux méthodes sont pratiquées. L'une consiste à introduire dans le boîtier de l'automate un coffre fort. Un tel exemple est décrit dans le document WO 2008/152063. L'autre méthode consiste à renforcer l'ensemble de l'automate ou simplement la zone où la monnaie est déposée. Un tel exemple est décrit dans le document FR 2797593. L'introduction d'un coffre fort ou la construction de renforts est une opération fort compliquée et onéreuse à concevoir puis à produire. An ATM containing money and or bank notes has a reinforced compartment able to withstand vandalism. Generally, two methods are practiced. One is to introduce into the box of the automaton a safe. Such an example is described in WO 2008/152063. The other method is to strengthen the entire automaton or simply the area where the currency is deposited. Such an example is described in document FR 2797593. The introduction of a safe or the construction of reinforcements is a very complicated and expensive operation to design and produce.

Le document US 5 435 644 divulgue un automate à monnaie comprenant plus particulièrement un boîtier réalisé à partir d'un profil moulé en aluminium et comportant, un compartiment logeant un accepteur de monnaie et un compartiment logeant une tirelire communiquant avec l'accepteur de monnaie. Le profil en aluminium résulte de l'assemblage par vissage de plusieurs profils élémentaires réalisant chacun une paroi du boîtier sur toute sa longueur. Les compartiments sont séparés par des tôles disposées perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale du profil et vissées dans des rainures formées longitudinalement dans les parois des profils élémentaires. US 5,435,644 discloses a coin machine comprising more particularly a housing made from a molded aluminum profile and comprising, a compartment housing a money acceptor and a compartment housing a piggy bank communicating with the acceptor of money. The aluminum profile results from the assembly by screwing of several elementary profiles each making a wall of the housing along its entire length. The compartments are separated by plates arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the profile and screwed into grooves formed longitudinally in the walls of the elementary profiles.

Le but de l'invention est d'augmenter la résistance au vandalisme des automates à monnaie tout en simplifiant la conception et la réalisation du compartiment contenant la monnaie . A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un automate à monnaie comprenant un boîtier réalisé à partir d'un profil extrudé et comportant un compartiment logeant un accepteur de monnaie et un compartiment logeant une tirelire communiquant avec l'accepteur de monnaie, caractérisé en ce que, pour protéger la monnaie encaissée, la tirelire est logée dans un coffre-fort constitué de tôles emboîtées les unes dans les autres par des dentelures découpées sur des bords des tôles et assemblé au profil extrudé par le fait que les dentelures découpées sont insérées dans des rainures ou encoches du profil extrudé servant de glissières. The object of the invention is to increase the vandal resistance of money machines while simplifying the design and production of the compartment containing the currency. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a coin machine comprising a housing made from an extruded profile and comprising a compartment housing a coin acceptor and a compartment housing a coin bank communicating with the coin acceptor, characterized in that in order to protect the coined coin, the coin bank is housed in a safe consisting of sheets interlocked with one another by serrations cut on the edges of the sheets and assembled to the extruded profile by the fact that the cut-out serrations are inserted. in grooves or notches of the extruded profile serving as slides.

L'apport de la présente invention réside dans le fait que l'assemblage adéquat d'un profil extrudé, élément économiquement avantageux et fort propice à l'obtention d'une esthétique de haut niveau, avec des tôles traditionnelles permet d'obtenir un boîtier d'automate à monnaie particulièrement facile à assembler, présentant, une fois monté, une substantielle amélioration de la résistance au vandalisme que ces mêmes composants permettraient d'obtenir, s'ils ne comportaient pas les découpes et encoches caractéristiques de l'invention et étaient assemblés par les moyens traditionnels tels le vissage, le boulonnage, le soudage etc.. et s' adaptant aux grandes tolérances de production des profils extrudés. The contribution of the present invention lies in the fact that the adequate assembly of an extruded profile, economically advantageous element and very conducive to obtaining a high level of aesthetics, with traditional sheets makes it possible to obtain a housing a coin-operated automaton particularly easy to assemble, having, once mounted, a substantial improvement in the vandal resistance that these same components would provide, if they did not include the cutouts and notches characteristic of the invention and were assembled by traditional means such as screwing, bolting, welding etc. and adapting to large production tolerances of extruded profiles.

La présente invention réside dans le fait que d'un côté, il est relativement aisé et économique de produire un profil extrudé comportant, dans chacun de ses angles, des rainures ou encoches faisant office de glissières et permettant d'y loger des têtes de tôle découpées et d'un autre côté, il est relativement aisé de produire, au moyen des techniques traditionnelles de coupe de tôle telles le laser ou l'étampage, des tôles comportant des dentelures en forme de créneaux qui s'emboîtent les unes dans les autres, puis de glisser cet ensemble de tôles dans les rainures du profil extrudé. Le résultat est que cet ensemble est capable d'absorber les grandes tolérances de production des profils extrudés et est porteur d'un côté des qualités de design que permet l'extrudage, et d'un autre côté, d'un coffre fort économique, très simple à monter, auquel s'ajoute la contribution de tous les composants cités ci-dessus à la formation d'un coffre fort présentant une haute résistance au vandalisme . The present invention resides in the fact that, on the one hand, it is relatively easy and economical to produce an extruded profile comprising, in each of its corners, grooves or notches acting as slides and making it possible to house sheet metal heads therein. cut and on the other hand, it is relatively easy to produce, using conventional sheet metal cutting techniques such as laser or stamping, sheets having crenellations serrations which fit into each other , then slide this set of sheets into the grooves of the extruded profile. The result is that this unit is able to absorb the large production tolerances of extruded profiles and carries on one side the design qualities that extrusion allows, and on the other hand, an economic safe, very simple to assemble, plus the contribution of all the components mentioned above to the formation of a safe with high resistance to vandalism.

La présente invention est complétée par un dispositif de contrôle de l'ouverture du portillon ou porte d'accès à la tirelire, agencé de manière à lutter efficacement contre les attaques cherchant à atteindre la monnaie. The present invention is completed by a device for controlling the opening of the gate or access door to the piggy bank, arranged to effectively fight against attacks seeking to reach the currency.

L'invention fait intervenir un profil extrudé, de préférence en alliage à base d'aluminium. Sur la figure 1, il est présenté un tel profil 1, lequel comporte, dans chacun de ses angles, deux encoches perpendiculaires 3 et 5. Comme visible sur la figure 1, les encoches 3 et 5 sont formées dans une surépaisseur 4 de la paroi 2 du profil extrudé et s'étendent sur toute la longueur du profil extrudé pour servir de glissières, comme visible sur la figure 4. La figure 2 présente les tôles des faces avant 10, latérale droite 12 et du sommet 14 du coffre-fort avant emboîtage. Les bords des tôles sont découpés avec une dentelure en forme de créneaux 15 et 16 qui, lors du montage, s'emboîtent les uns dans les autres. Afin de faciliter le montage, certains créneaux 17 peuvent être fermés. La production de profils extrudés est sujette à de grandes tolérances représentant plusieurs millimètres et liées essentiellement aux températures de sortie de la presse d'extrusion. Aussi, les créneaux des tôles sont dimensionnés de manière à absorber ces tolérances. The invention uses an extruded profile, preferably an aluminum-based alloy. In Figure 1, there is shown such a profile 1, which comprises, in each of its angles, two perpendicular notches 3 and 5. As shown in Figure 1, the notches 3 and 5 are formed in an excess thickness 4 of the wall 2 of the extruded profile and extend over the entire length of the extruded profile to serve as slides, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 2 shows the plates of the front faces 10, right side 12 and the top 14 of the safe before casing. The edges of the sheets are cut with a tooth-shaped crenellations 15 and 16 which, during assembly, fit into each other. To facilitate assembly, some slots 17 may be closed. The production of extruded profiles is subject to large tolerances of several millimeters and essentially related to the outlet temperatures of the extrusion press. Also, the slots of the sheets are dimensioned so as to absorb these tolerances.

La figure 3 présente les tôles des faces avant 10, arrière 11, latérales droite 12 et gauche 13 et du sommet 14 emboîtées les unes dans les autres et formant le coffre-fort en tôles 19. On notera que la tôle de la face avant 10 comporte le trou 18 nécessaire pour la porte d'accès au coffre-fort . La figure 4 présente le montage des tôles emboîtées dans le profil extrudé 1. Ce montage peut-être effectué depuis le haut, comme l'indique la flèche F. Mais on peut aussi effectuer ce montage depuis le bas. Les bords dentelés du coffre-fort résultant de l'emboîtage des tôles sont glissés dans les encoches 3 et 5 du profil extrudé 1. FIG. 3 shows the plates of the front faces 10, rear 11, right side 12 and left side 13 and vertex 14 nested one inside the other and forming the sheet metal safe 19. It will be noted that the sheet metal of the front face 10 has the hole 18 necessary for the access door to the safe. Figure 4 shows the fitting of the plates fitted into the extruded profile 1. This assembly can be done from the top, as indicated by the arrow F. But it can also be done from the bottom. The serrated edges of the safe resulting from the casing of the sheets are slid into the notches 3 and 5 of the extruded profile 1.

Comme cela sera décrit plus en détail en référence à la figure 7, le profil extrudé 1 forme le boîtier de l'automate à monnaie. Il comprend trois ouvertures 21, 22 et 23 à hauteur respectivement de trois compartiments, l'ouverture supérieure 21 correspondant au compartiment monétique, l'ouverture moyenne 22 au compartiment logeant une imprimante et un rouleau de papier, et l'ouverture inférieure 23 au compartiment logeant une tirelire. Une variante de construction simplifiée consiste à travailler avec des tôles à créneaux entrant dans des trous et un profil extrudé n'ayant qu'une encoche par côté. La figure 5 présente une vue latérale en transparence du profil extrudé avec les composants intérieurs de l'automate, le tout monté sur un socle en béton 20. On reconnaît un accepteur de monnaie combiné avec un lecteur de cartes à puce 25, une imprimante de tickets 26 couplée avec un rouleau de papier à tickets 27, une tirelire contenant la monnaie 28, un canal à monnaie 29 formant communication entre l'accepteur de monnaie 25 et la tirelire 28 et en pointillé, le coffre-fort 19 constitué des tôles emboîtées les unes dans les autres. Comme visible sur la figure 6, le coffre-fort 19 est glissé à hauteur de l'ouverture inférieure 23 du boîtier 1. As will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 7, the extruded profile 1 forms the casing of the coin machine. It comprises three openings 21, 22 and 23 respectively up to three compartments, the upper opening 21 corresponding to the electronic payment compartment, the average opening 22 to the compartment housing a printer and a roll of paper, and the lower opening 23 to the compartment housing a piggy bank. A simplified construction variant consists of working with slotted sheets entering holes and an extruded profile having only one notch per side. FIG. 5 shows a lateral view in transparency of the extruded profile with the internal components of the automaton, all mounted on a concrete base 20. A coin acceptor combined with a smart card reader 25, a printer of Tickets 26 coupled with a roll of ticket paper 27, a money box containing the coin 28, a coin channel 29 forming a communication between the coin acceptor 25 and the coin box 28 and in a dotted line, the safe 19 consisting of the interlocking plates in each other. As can be seen in FIG. 6, the safe 19 is slid up to the lower opening 23 of the housing 1.

La figure 6 présente la vue externe de l'automate à monnaie qui met en évidence une esthétique avec des parois arrondies rendue possible grâce au profil extrudé 1. On distingue le sommet de l'appareil qui comporte un plafond en verre 31 laissant passer la lumière à des fins d'alimentation d'un panneau solaire. Le compartiment 32 correspondant à l'ouverture inférieure 23 du boîtier, dit compartiment « trésor », comprend une porte d'accès à la tirelire 33 avec la tirelire 28 en arrière et un orifice d'entrée de la monnaie dans la tirelire 34. Les autres compartiments de l'automate à monnaie sont le compartiment 35 correspondant à l'ouverture moyenne 22, dit compartiment imprimante et papier et le compartiment 36 correspondant à l'ouverture supérieure 21, dit compartiment monétique. FIG. 6 shows the external view of the coin automaton, which shows an aesthetic with rounded walls made possible thanks to the extruded profile 1. There is the top of the apparatus which has a glass ceiling 31 allowing the light to pass through. for power purposes of a solar panel. The compartment 32 corresponding to the lower opening 23 of the housing, said "treasure" compartment, comprises an access door to the piggy bank 33 with the piggy bank 28 back and a coin entry port into the piggy bank 34. other compartments of the money machine are the compartment 35 corresponding to the average opening 22, said printer compartment and paper and the compartment 36 corresponding to the upper opening 21, said electronic money compartment.

Sur le bas de l'automate, la paroi 2 du profil extrudé 1 ainsi que les tôles latérales 12 et 13 sont percées par des trous 38 et 39 destinés à recevoir deux profils ou barres 40 traversant le profil extrudé 1 ainsi que le coffre-fort 19 en tôles emboîtées. Chacune des barres 40 comportent deux trous 41 correspondant à des tiges de fixation 42 destinées à être fixées dans le socle en béton 20 ou dans le sol, l'extrémité de ces tiges étant munis de boulons de fixation 43 de l'automate. Une plaque de fond 44 est montée avec les deux profils ou barres 40 à l'intérieur du boîtier, ceci afin de les ternir au centre du boîtier et de maintenir l'ensemble profil extrudé 1 - coffre-fort 19 solidaire du bloc de béton 20 permettant de lier l'automate à monnaie avec le sol. Cet effet de solidarisation étant encore renforcé par le fait que la porte d'accès 33 à la tirelire contenant la monnaie lie le profil extrudé 1 et le coffre-fort 19. On the bottom of the automaton, the wall 2 of the extruded profile 1 as well as the side plates 12 and 13 are pierced by holes 38 and 39 intended to receive two profiles or bars 40 passing through the extruded profile 1 as well as the safe 19 in nested sheets. Each of the bars 40 comprise two holes 41 corresponding to fixing rods 42 intended to be fixed in the concrete base 20 or in the ground, the end of these rods being provided with fixing bolts 43 of the automaton. A bottom plate 44 is mounted with the two profiles or bars 40 inside the housing, in order to tarnish them in the center of the housing and to maintain the extruded profile assembly 1 - safe 19 secured to the concrete block 20 to link the currency automaton with the ground. This securing effect is further reinforced by the fact that the access door 33 to the coin-containing money box links the extruded profile 1 and the safe 19.

La figure 7 montre en coupe transversale l'insertion, dans les encoches 3 et 5 du profil extrudé 1, des bords dentelés 15 et 16 des tôles emboîtées les unes dans les autres pour former le coffre-fort 19. FIG. 7 shows in cross-section the insertion, in the notches 3 and 5 of the extruded profile 1, of the serrated edges 15 and 16 of the interlocked plates into one another to form the safe 19.

Le but de l'objet de l'invention est la résistance au vandalisme, principalement au vandalisme d'accès à la monnaie. Un des moyens difficile à contrer est l'attaque à la meuleuse. Dans cette construction, figure 7, il est possible de remplir la zone 8 comprise entre les tôles latérales 12 et 13 et arrière 11, emboîtées pour former le coffre-fort 19, et la paroi 2 du profil extrudé 1, par de la matière 9 gênant le travail du disque de la meuleuse voire l'encrassant. Ceci peut se faire en y plaçant du sable qui fondra sous l'effet de la rotation du disque ou avec des microbilles ou billes en polycarbonate ou autre matière ayant le même effet. The purpose of the object of the invention is resistance to vandalism, mainly vandalism of access to the currency. One of the hardest ways to counter is the grinder attack. In this construction, FIG. 7, it is possible to fill the zone 8 between the side plates 12 and 13 and rear 11, nested to form the safe 19, and the wall 2 of the extruded profile 1, by material 9 annoying the work of the disk of the grinder or fouling it. This can be done by placing sand that will melt under the effect of the rotation of the disc or with microbeads or balls made of polycarbonate or other material having the same effect.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré par les figures 1 à 7, le profil extrudé a une section quadrangulaire et les encoches disposées aux quatre angles de la section quadrangulaire occupent les sommets d'un carré. Cependant, il est prévu d'autres sections pour le profil extrudé ainsi que d'autres dispositions des encoches dans des surépaisseurs de la paroi. Par exemple, figure 8, le profil extrudé 1 possède une section ovale et des encoches 6 et 7 occupent les sommets d'un hexagone et forment entre elles, à chaque sommet, un angle aigu, égal 90 degrés, ou obtus. Les encoches 6 et 7 reçoivent les bords dentelés des tôles 10, 11, 12a, 12b, 13a, 13b emboîtées les unes dans les autres pour former le coffre- fort de l'automate à monnaie. De même, d'autres formes de dentelures sont prévues pour emboîter les tôles et former le coffre-fort décrit dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré par les figures 1 à 7. Par exemple, figure 9, les dentelures 45 peuvent être partiellement fendues à leur base pour présenter une fente 46 parallèlement au bord 47 des tôles et permettre l'emboîtage des tôles les unes dans les autres par insertion des fentes des dentelures les unes dans les autres. In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 7, the extruded profile has a quadrangular section and the notches arranged at the four corners of the quadrangular section occupy the vertices of a square. However, there are other sections for the extruded profile as well as other arrangements of the notches in the thicknesses of the wall. For example, Figure 8, the extruded profile 1 has an oval section and notches 6 and 7 occupy the vertices of a hexagon and form between them, at each vertex, an acute angle, equal to 90 degrees, or obtuse. The notches 6 and 7 receive the serrated edges of the sheets 10, 11, 12a, 12b, 13a, 13b nested one inside the other to form the safe of the money machine. Similarly, other forms of serrations are provided to fit the sheets and form the safe described in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 7. For example, Figure 9, the serrations 45 may be partially split to their base to present a slot 46 parallel to the edge 47 of the sheets and allow the casing of the sheets into each other by inserting the slots of the serrations into each other.

Un autre aspect de lutte contre le vandalisme est donné par le mécanisme d'ouverture du compartiment « trésor ». Another aspect of the fight against vandalism is given by the opening mechanism of the "treasure" compartment.

Figures 10 à 13, l'ouverture de la porte d'accès à la tirelire 33 est libérée par la guillotine 92, bien visible sur la figure 12, elle-même actionnée par le moteur 93 au travers de la roue dentée 97 en prise avec une crémaillère 102. La guillotine est verrouillée par un deuxième mécanisme de blocage de la position fermée, ce deuxième mécanisme étant constitué d'un actionneur linéaire de faible puissance 94, le tout étant placé à l'intérieur du coffre-fort sécurisé 19 dit « trésor ». L' actionneur et le moteur sont commandés un circuit électronique 95 disposé à l'intérieur du coffre-fort 19 et piloté par des signaux cryptés. L'activation de l' actionneur 94 a pour effet de tirer la tige de blocage 96 qui sort du trou 101 et libère ainsi la guillotine. Cet ensemble est monté sur une base qui peut-être extraite de l'automate à monnaie au moyen de l'ouverture du cylindre 112 qui actionne, au travers du pêne 98, le levier 115. Ainsi, ce mécanisme autorise une intervention manuelle au moyen d'une clé 113 afin de palier les pannes. La serrure illustrée par la figure 13 est logée horizontalement dans un compartiment 114 de manière à empêcher les attaques verticales au moyen d'un outil de perçage ou équivalent. L'accès à ce dispositif a lieu à partir du compartiment 35 imprimante et papier situé au dessus de cette serrure. Figures 10 to 13, the opening of the access door to the piggy bank 33 is released by the guillotine 92, clearly visible in Figure 12, itself actuated by the motor 93 through the toothed wheel 97 engaged with a rack 102. The guillotine is locked by a second locking mechanism of the closed position, this second mechanism consisting of a linear actuator of low power 94, all being placed inside the safe safe 19 said " treasure ". The actuator and the motor are controlled by an electronic circuit 95 disposed inside the safe 19 and controlled by encrypted signals. Activation of the actuator 94 has the effect of pulling the locking rod 96 out of the hole 101 and thus releases the guillotine. This set is mounted on a base that can be extracted from the coin machine by means of the opening of the cylinder 112 which actuates, through the bolt 98, the lever 115. Thus, this mechanism allows manual intervention by means of a key 113 to overcome the failures. The lock illustrated in Figure 13 is housed horizontally in a compartment 114 so as to prevent vertical attacks by means of a drilling tool or equivalent. Access to this device takes place from the printer and paper compartment located above this lock.
