Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coin sorting device, comprising a housing and a first turntable arranged in the housing and rotatably drivable by means of a rotary drive for receiving a large number of coins of different diameters to be sorted, the first turntable being at least partially surrounded by a guide wall and one of a wall section limited coin outlet area is provided, through which coins located on the rotatingly driven first turntable reach a coin conveyor track adjoining the coin outlet area, a conveyor device being provided for conveying the coins along the coin conveyor track, the coin conveyor track on its inside and / or outside through a guide edge is delimited along which the coins are conveyed by the conveying device, and wherein at least one opening is provided in and / or next to the coin outlet area and / or along and / or next to the coin conveying path marriage is through which coins can get into an area below the first turntable.
  • Such a coin sorting device is usually also referred to as a coin recycler.
  • the coin sorting device has a coin inlet through which a large number of unsorted coins can be entered individually or together. From the coin inlet, the coins reach the rotating turntable, which forms a so-called centrifuge. From the rotating turntable, the coins pass under a conveyor and into a coin outlet area.
  • the conveyor device conveys the coins out of the coin outlet area along a coin conveyor track. Different areas are provided along the coin conveyor track, for example a coin testing area and a coin sorting area.
  • the U.S. 4,167,949 A discloses a coin sorting device which singles coins by means of a turntable and conveys them from a conveying device over a sorting line. From the sorting line, the coins pass to a plurality of further turntables, which separate the sorted coins again and from which the coins are then conveyed into receptacles.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a coin sorting device of the type mentioned at the beginning, which has a compact structure with a reliable sorting function.
  • a coin sorting device comprising a housing and a first turntable arranged in the housing and rotatably drivable by means of a rotary drive for receiving a plurality of coins of different diameters to be sorted, the first turntable being at least partially surrounded by a guide wall and a Coin outlet area delimited by a wall section is provided, through which coins located on the rotatably driven first turntable reach a coin conveyor track adjoining the coin outlet area, a conveyor device being provided for conveying the coins along the coin conveyor track, with the coin conveyor track on its inside and / or its outside is limited by a guide edge along which the coins are conveyed by the conveyor, and wherein in and / or next to the coin outlet area and / or along and / or next to the coin conveyor track At least one opening is provided through which coins can reach an area below the first turntable, with at least one further turntable which can be rotated by means of a rotary drive and is designed to return coins to at least one coin in at least one
  • the coin sorting device is a so-called coin recycler.
  • coin recyclers can be divided into two modules.
  • a lower module of the coin recycler is formed by a coin storage and a coin payout module for the customer.
  • This module usually includes so-called hoppers that can store and dispense coins.
  • the hoppers usually have a payout disc and a container for coins.
  • the paid out coins can then be transported into a return or dispensing tray, for example by a conveyor belt or the like.
  • this lower module can also include a coin box.
  • the upper module of the coin recycler is responsible for receiving coins. During a money transaction or, for example, when filling coins, the upper module accepts, measures and sorts coins according to their value. Foreign objects, liquids or counterfeit money should be rejected and real money should be sorted into the designated coin storage.
  • the invention is particularly concerned with such an upper module of a coin recycler.
  • coins are fed individually or in larger quantities (as so-called bulk) into the coin sorting device through a coin inlet of the coin sorting device, from where they arrive at the rotatingly driven turntable.
  • the coin inlet area can, for example be formed by an input funnel.
  • the rotating turntable acting as a centrifuge moves the coins one after the other to the conveyor in the coin outlet area.
  • the rotatingly driven turntable can be circular, for example circular.
  • the coin conveyor track and the conveyor device can also run in a circle.
  • at least one coin checking area and at least one coin sorting area can be provided downstream of the coin outlet area along the coin conveying path with the output hole, viewed in the conveying direction of the coins.
  • the coin checking area can comprise one or more detectors for checking the coins that are guided past.
  • the coin sorting area can e.g. comprise a passive or active sorting of the coins, for example by means of a plurality of sorting holes which are arranged one after the other in the conveying direction of the coins and which gradually become larger.
  • At least one further turntable which can be driven in rotation by means of a rotary drive is arranged in at least one plane below the first turntable.
  • a guide device is provided which is designed to guide coins that have passed through the at least one opening to the at least one further turntable. The coins guided by the guide device of the coin sorting device to the at least one further turntable are then conveyed through the at least one further turntable to at least one coin return and / or to at least one coin store.
  • the at least one coin return and / or the at least one coin store can be part of the coin sorting device according to the invention. You can create any return or storage container. Coin returns can, for example, form a return to a customer or to a cash register.
  • Coin stores can be provided for long-term storage, in particular until the store is emptied manually or operationally. However, it can also be a sorting memory for coins, from which coins are then paid out for further payment processes.
  • the coin stores can therefore be so-called coin tubes into which the coins are sorted depending on their size, in particular their diameter or their value.
  • a "stacked" arrangement of rotating disks forming centrifuges is thus provided.
  • coins that have passed through the at least one opening can be fed to the coin sorting device in a structurally particularly compact manner, coin returns or coin stores at largely any location. It is therefore not necessary for the coin return assigned to an opening or the coin store assigned to an opening to be located vertically or largely vertically below the respective opening.
  • a compact design of the coin sorting device great flexibility is achieved with regard to the arrangement of the openings on the one hand and the coin returns and coin stores on the other hand, and thus with regard to the sorting process.
  • the turntable can have a circular central part raised by an annular disc area and opposite the bottom of the annular disc area, the central part likewise being drivable in rotation or being stationary.
  • the middle part can be driven to rotate by the same rotary drive as the annular disk area or independently of it. However, it can also be designed to be stationary.
  • Coins located on the rotatingly driven turntable hit the raised central part as they are conveyed by the turntable, so that the central part conveys the coins, for example together with a wall section of the coin outlet area, to the conveying device and thus out of the turntable.
  • the Coin outlet area can be wedge-shaped at least in sections, one wall of this wedge being formed by the conveyor device, for example an inner flank of a conveyor belt, and the other wall being formed by the central part of the turntable.
  • a coin reaching this wedge-shaped coin outlet area is then picked up by the conveying device, for example the inner flank of a conveyor belt, and pressed against the opposite side of the central part of the turntable.
  • the coin then rolls off the central part, being pressed further towards the conveyor device, in particular under a conveyor belt, as a result of the wedge that tapers to that extent.
  • the height of the central part relative to the bottom of the annular disk area of the turntable can be limited to a height which is lower than the thinnest coin to be sorted.
  • the at least one opening can be a hole into which the coins can fall, in particular as a result of gravity.
  • openings are provided, the openings each being provided for coins of different diameters and / or different types or values.
  • the coins are thus sorted depending on their size, in particular their diameter, or their value.
  • the multiple openings are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction of the coins along the coin conveying path.
  • the openings can be of different sizes. In this way, a known passive sorting is possible, in which the openings are designed as simple holes. In the conveying direction of the coins along the conveyor track, the openings become larger so that the coins automatically fall into the appropriate opening depending on their diameter, namely the smallest coins first and then the larger coins successively.
  • At least one sensor device is provided by means of which the diameter and / or the type of the coins can be determined, and that at least one actuation device is provided with which the coins depending on their diameter and / or their type in one of the Openings can be directed.
  • the at least one opening can be closed by a flap in an idle state.
  • the actuating device can then be designed to move the flap (s) of the opening (s) in a targeted manner into an open state in order to guide the coins into one of the openings depending on their diameter and / or their type.
  • the actuation device can also comprise an actuation element, for example an actuation pin, through the actuation of which coins can be guided into one of the openings depending on their diameter and / or their type.
  • the coins can be deflected out of their path by the actuating element, for example an actuating pin, in such a way that they fall into one of the openings.
  • the coins can be pushed through the actuating element, for example the actuating pin, for example from the coin conveyor track into openings, in particular holes, arranged next to the coin conveyor track, or they can be guided into one of the openings by other deflection.
  • the coins are actively sorted, usually based on measurement results from suitable sensors, as are known per se to the person skilled in the art.
  • a further turntables which can be driven in rotation by means of a rotary drive are arranged in different planes below the first turntable, the further turntables being designed to convey the coins to different coin returns and / or different coin stores, and wherein the guide device is designed to guide the coins to one of the further turntables depending on the opening through which they have passed.
  • a plurality of turntables arranged one above the other in stacks are provided below the first turntable in different planes. The coins falling through the openings are fed, depending on their diameter or their type, to one of these further turntables under the first turntable, which then sorts them into the appropriate coin return or the appropriate coin store.
  • the coins are fed through the different turntables to different coin returns or coin stores. It is possible that only one type of coin is fed to each of the further turntables for further sorting. Each turntable can then, for example, be connected to only one coin return and / or only one coin store for the respective coin type. However, it is also conceivable to feed several different coin types to one or more of the further turntables for further sorting. For example, a first type of coin could be fed to a first section, in particular a first half of the turntable, and a second different type of coin could be fed to a second section, in particular a second half of the turntable. The different sections, in particular the two halves, of the turntable would then be connected to different coin returns and / or different coin stores for the different coins to which they feed the different coins.
  • all of the turntables or some of the turntables of the coin sorting device according to the invention can be driven to rotate by the same rotary drive. But it is also possible that individual or all turntables are driven in rotation by individual rotary drives.
  • the first turntable can be driven faster than the one or more further turntables. This can be ensured by different rotary drives or, in the case of a common rotary drive, by a suitable gear.
  • the guide device can comprise one or more guide tracks for the coins.
  • the guide device can also comprise one or more conveyor belts for the coins.
  • About e.g. Slanted guideways (so-called chutes) can hold the coins that have fallen through the openings e.g. be guided by gravity to the respective turntable. If, on the other hand, driven conveyor belts are provided, they ensure an active transport of the coins to the respective turntable, for example if sufficiently inclined guide tracks are not possible due to the installation space.
  • several guide tracks or conveyor belts can be provided accordingly.
  • the guide tracks or conveyor belts can each connect an opening with a coin return or a coin store. Thus, depending on their opening and thus their diameter or their type, the coins are each fed to one of the turntables, which in turn sorts the coins into the corresponding coin returns or coin stores.
  • the at least one further turntable can be assigned at least one coin deflector which is fixed above its surface and through which coins located on the at least one further turntable are directed to the at least one coin return and / or to the at least one coin store.
  • the coin deflectors serve as scrapers under which the turntables turn.
  • the coins are then stripped from the respective surface of the turntable by the, for example, sickle-shaped coin deflector and sorted into the corresponding coin returns or coin stores.
  • a coin deflector is assigned to each of the further turntables.
  • Each of the coin deflectors guides the coins into a coin return or coin store.
  • Provided one or more of the other turntables for inclusion and sorting of different coins are provided in different sections, these different sections can be assigned corresponding coin deflectors for sorting the different coin types.
  • the conveying device comprises a rotatingly driven conveyor belt arranged above the coin conveying path for conveying the coins along the coin conveying path.
  • the conveyor belt can run in sections above the turntable.
  • the leading edge of the coin conveyor track can have a spiral shape, such that it approaches the conveyor belt in the conveying direction of the coins.
  • the coin conveyor track and the conveyor belt run eccentrically to the turntable.
  • the coin conveyor track and the conveyor belt have a larger diameter than the turntable.
  • the coin sorting device has a housing (not shown in the figures) with a coin inlet area, for example in the form of an input funnel, also not shown.
  • a first turntable 10 which can be driven in rotation by means of a rotary drive (not shown), is arranged in the housing for receiving a large number of coins of different diameters to be sorted.
