Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coin separating device according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for operating a coin separating device.
  • Such a coin separating device comprises a conveying device for conveying coins from an input container in a conveying direction along a conveying path and a testing device arranged on the conveying path for detecting a type of coin of a coin conveyed along the conveying path.
  • a conveyor in the form of a two-stranded conveyor belt which forms a conveying path along which coins are conveyed from an input container in an upward direction (counter to a gravitational force).
  • drivers are arranged to receive the coins from the input container and convey along the conveyor line. Distributed along the conveyor line different means are provided to ensure that each driver is promoted only a single coin.
  • the coins are conveyed to a coin collecting device, whereby objects not recognized as coins are sorted out and returned to a user.
  • Such coin separating devices serve to separate coins from other items.
  • a coin separating device may be followed by a sorting device that sorts coins sorted by the coin separating device and passes them into sorted containers in sorted form.
  • the EP 2 525 330 A1 discloses a coin separating device in which a coin can be dropped from a conveyor by means of an ejection element acting perpendicular to a conveying direction along a direction of ejection, and thus enters a singling centrifuge.
  • the ejection element acts perpendicular to the conveying direction, along which the conveyor promotes coins.
  • the trajectory of the coin results from superimposition of the conveying movement of the coin and the acceleration occurring perpendicular to the conveying direction by means of the ejection element.
  • the GB 2 099 199 A discloses a conveyor with an acceleration device arranged in the form of electric motors.
  • the acceleration is the same for all coins, which can be used to differentiate different coins based on their alloy by different types of coins are transported in different containers.
  • the DE 102 61 819 A1 discloses an apparatus for sorting, counting or inspecting objects, in particular coins, in which coins can be conveyed by means of an accelerator wheel into a running track.
  • the DE 2 334 076 A1 describes an apparatus and method for checking the authenticity of coins.
  • the coins are hereby incorporated into the device via a coin receiving hopper and directed via a Münzleitweg towards a driver.
  • the driver is a linear stator in which a magnetic field progresses linearly along the length of the driver at a rate determined by the frequency of the current supplied and the geometry of the pole arrangement of the driver.
  • the driver takes advantage of the electrical conductivity properties of coins by inducing eddy currents into the coins passing into the driver due to the driving magnetic field, which in turn results in a magnetic field on the coins interacting with the driver field and accelerating the coins of the driver's channel. Because different coins have different properties, in particular a different magnetic susceptibility, the coins are accelerated in different ways and thrown into different containers.
  • the EP 2 336 983 A1 relates to a coin-operated machine in which coins can be inserted through a coin insertion opening and fed to a coin validator.
  • the DE 10 2011 001 870 A1 relates to a device for separating and sorting coins, in which the coins are transported via a conveying path from an input container and are accelerated out of the conveying path as a function of a test result perpendicular to the conveying direction.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a coin separating device and a method for operating a coin separating device, which convey coins reliably from the conveying path into a coin collecting device.
  • an acceleration device which is designed in such a way as to promote a coin conveyed along the conveying path as a function of recognition by the checking device accelerate the coin from being conveyed to a coin collector, the accelerator being arranged to act on the coin to accelerate the coin according to the coin type detected by the inspection means, by accelerating the coin to a first acceleration mode when the coin has a first coin type and is accelerated in a second acceleration mode different from the first acceleration mode when the coin has a second coin type.
  • the acceleration device thus serves to accelerate a recognized coin out of the conveying movement, so that the coin is conveyed by the conveying path in the direction of the coin collecting device.
  • the accelerator does not act in a similar manner to all coins, but accelerates coins of different coin types according to different types of acceleration. This is done against the background of that of the Conveyor conveyed towards the downstream coin collection device should preferably have an at least similar trajectory (trajectory) to ensure that the coins reach regardless of their specific coin type and their related physical properties (size, weight) equally reliable in the coin collecting device.
  • coins of a first coin type for example coins of low mass and correspondingly of low inertia
  • a pulse acceleration may be accelerated after a first type of acceleration by means of a pulse acceleration.
  • an acceleration element of the accelerator is located before the acceleration of the coin in a position in which the acceleration element is spaced from the coin and then beats when the coin has reached a predetermined location on the conveyor line against the coin to the coin on this Way of impulsive transport of the conveyor line.
  • a second type of acceleration is used in the form of a sliding acceleration, in which the acceleration element of the acceleration device is already in contact with the coin before the coin is accelerated and then accelerated to take the coin and thus to transport from the conveyor line.
  • the types of acceleration may differ only in one transmitted pulse, in that a smaller coin is exerted on a light coin than on a heavy coin. It is essential in this connection only that, depending on a coin type of a coin, the accelerating element performs a different acceleration from that of another coin of another coin type so as to accelerate coins of different coin types differently.
  • the acceleration by the acceleration element is therefore not always the same for different coins with different coin types, but may differ.
  • a coin type refers to the denomination of a coin in a specific currency.
  • the euro currency there are the coin types "1 euro coin”, “2 euro coin”, “50 cent coin”, “10 cent coin”, etc.
  • a coin has a predetermined nominal size , predetermined electrical properties and a predetermined nominal weight.
  • the coin type of a coin is recognized by the testing device, which has, for example, an optical sensor device for detecting geometric dimensions of the coin and / or an electromagnetic sensor device for detecting electrical properties of the coin.
  • the testing device has, for example, an evaluation and storage device in which data of different types of coins are stored in currency data sets. By comparing measured, detected properties of a coin with data of a previously stored currency data set, a coin can then be assigned to a coin type.
  • the acceleration of the coin by means of the acceleration device takes place in the conveying direction.
  • the acceleration device accelerates a recognized coin in the conveying direction
  • the acceleration device exerts an acceleration force on the recognized coin, which is directed in the conveying direction at least with one direction vector component.
  • the acceleration direction does not have to correspond exactly to the conveying direction, but can also be directed obliquely to the conveying direction, for example, as long as only one direction vector component points the direction of acceleration in the conveying direction (that is to say that the acceleration direction can be decomposed into vector components, at least one of which points in the conveying direction).
  • the acceleration direction in which the acceleration device accelerates a recognized coin, but directed collinear to the conveying direction.
  • a detected coin is thus accelerated out of its conveying movement, wherein the acceleration in the conveying direction is such that the speed to which a detected coin is accelerated by means of the accelerator is greater than the conveying speed with which the coin by means of the conveyor is transported along the conveyor line.
  • a recognized coin is thus out of its Conveying movement out forward (as seen in the conveying direction) accelerated and transported in this way in the direction of a downstream coin collecting device.
  • a recognized coin is thus conveyed from the conveying path to the coin collecting device.
  • This allows reliable transport of coins recognized as such to a coin collector and can reliably ensure that only coins, but not other items, enter the coin collector.
  • the conveying path has a first end and a second end, wherein the input container in the region of the first end and the acceleration device are arranged in the region of the second end.
  • the accelerator is then preferably configured to convey a recognized coin beyond the second end into the coin collector beyond the second end.
  • a recognized coin is thus accelerated beyond the second end and in this way moved by the conveying path in the direction of the coin collecting device, wherein the coin collecting device is designed in a suitable manner for collecting the coin.
  • the coin collecting device viewed along the conveying direction - spaced from the second end of the conveying path.
  • the coin collecting device thus does not directly adjoin the conveying path, but is at a predetermined distance from the second end of the conveying path. If a coin is accelerated by means of the acceleration device, it is thrown over the distance beyond the second end of the conveyor line out into the coin collecting device, wherein the accelerating force caused by the acceleration means is dimensioned so that a recognized coin overcoming the distance also reaches the coin collecting device and thus reliably enters the coin collecting device.
  • the accelerator may include, for example, a stepper motor and an accelerator driven by the stepper motor, e.g. B. a rotary wheel, to accelerate a coin.
  • An acceleration element embodied as a rotary wheel can be formed, for example, as a paddle wheel rotatable about an axis of rotation with one or more paddles for acting on a coin to be accelerated.
  • the stepping motor drives the acceleration element - depending on the detection of a coin by the checking device - by, for example, rotating the paddle wheel and accelerating the coin out of its conveying motion by acting on a paddle on the coin to be accelerated.
  • the stepping motor is activated stepwise as a function of the detection by the checking device and thus moves the acceleration element only when the checking device generates a suitable control signal which indicates the recognition of a coin.
  • the acceleration is thus selective: only those coins are accelerated, which have been recognized and the coin collecting device to be supplied.
  • the conveying direction is directed at the intended arrangement and use of the coin separating device at least with a direction vector component against a direction of gravity.
  • the coin separating device thus operates according to the vertical separation principle by conveying coins from the input container in an upward direction along the conveying path.
  • the conveying direction here does not have to be directed exactly vertically against the direction of gravity (ie counter to the direction in which gravity acts), but advantageously points obliquely to the direction of gravity such that a direction vector component of the conveying direction is directed against the direction of gravity.
  • the conveyor strands can each be realized by a circulating conveyor belt, wherein the conveyor strands are moved synchronously and thus jointly promote coins from the input container.
  • At every conveyor track is arranged for this purpose at least one driver, wherein a driver of a conveyor line and a driver of the other conveyor line form a pair of takers to take away each of a coin.
  • the acceleration element of the acceleration device is advantageously placed in such a way relative to the conveyor strands that it is arranged - viewed transversely to the conveying direction - between the conveyor strands.
  • the acceleration element In order to accelerate a coin, the acceleration element is thus moved between the carriers of the carrier pair on which the coin to be accelerated is guided, thus acting on the coin and hurling it in the direction of the coin collection device.
  • the acceleration element can act in a defined manner on the coin to be accelerated and accelerate relative to the conveyor strands, so that the coin is conveyed by the conveying path in the direction of the coin collecting device.
  • the coin collecting device serves to catch the coins accelerated away from the conveying path.
  • the coin collecting device can advantageously have a sorting device for sorting the coins conveyed into the coin collecting device, which is designed, in particular, to guide each coin, depending on its type of coin, into a coin collecting container assigned to the coin type.
  • the type of coin is already recognized by the testing device of the conveyor, so that the coin type of the coin is already fixed when it is conveyed by means of the accelerating device in the coin collecting device.
  • the coin is then further processed and fed to a coin collection container assigned to it, so that, for example, a one-euro coin enters a collection container for one-euro coins.
  • the object is further achieved by a method for operating a coin separating device.
  • the coin separating device comprises a conveying device for conveying coins from an input container in a conveying direction along a conveying path and a testing device arranged on the conveying path for detecting a type of coin of a coin conveyed along the conveying path.
  • an acceleration device accelerates a coin conveyed along the conveying path and recognized by the checking device in the conveying direction such that the coin is conveyed from the conveying path into a coin collecting device, the acceleration device being dependent the coin is accelerated by the coin detected by the inspection means by accelerating the coin in a first acceleration mode when the coin has a first coin type and accelerating in a second acceleration mode different from the first acceleration mode when the coin Coin has a second coin type.
  • the advantages and advantageous embodiments described above for the coin separating device apply analogously also to the method for operating the coin separating device.
  • the method is for operating a coin separating device of the type described above.
  • the acceleration device is controlled as a function of a control signal generated by the checking device for accelerating a coin conveyed on the conveying path.
  • the acceleration device is thus selectively activated as a function of a recognition of a coin by the checking device, for which purpose, for example, a stepper motor of the acceleration device can be selectively energized in order to drive a suitable acceleration element, for example a paddlewheel, stepwise for accelerating a coin.
  • the testing device preferably has a sensor device which detects geometric and / or electrical properties of the coin in order to determine the coin type of the coin on the basis of the geometric and / or electrical properties.
  • the checking device has, for example, an evaluation and storage device in which at least one currency data record with data of different coin types of a coin currency is stored.
  • the evaluation and storage device compares data of the coin acquired by the sensor device with previously stored data of the at least one currency data record and, on the basis of the comparison, assigns the coin to a coin type of the currency data record. If the coin can be clearly assigned to a coin type and thus the coin type of the coin is identified, the accelerator can be controlled depending on the coin type to accelerate the coin in a suitable manner depending on the type of coin and thereby from the conveying path to the coin collecting device transport.
  • a preferred goal is that different coins of different coin type have at least approximately the same trajectory.
  • a small, light coin eg an aluminum coin
  • At least approximately along a same trajectory of the conveyor line are transported as a large, heavy coin (eg a steel coin).
  • the type of acceleration with which the accelerator acts on a coin is adjusted depending on the coin type of the coin.
  • a first type of acceleration may be used in which the accelerator is accelerated against the coin from a position where an acceleration element of the accelerator is spaced from the coin and the coin is thereby deflected from the coin Conveyed conveyor line.
  • a pulse acceleration By such a pulse acceleration, the coin is thus transported away in a pulse-like manner from the conveying path, in which the acceleration device acts in a pulse-like manner on the coin.
  • Such a type of acceleration can be used in particular for small, light coins.
  • the acceleration device can be accelerated in a second type of acceleration, for example from a position in which an acceleration element of the acceleration device is in contact with the coin, in order to take the coin with it and thereby convey it from the conveying path.
  • the accelerator accelerates the coin by taking the coin with it and transporting it from the conveyor line by its own acceleration.
  • Such a shift acceleration can be used in particular for large, heavy coins. Such large, heavy coins have a comparatively large inertia.
  • the acceleration device is preferably decelerated again after its acceleration in order to prevent a coin conveyed by the conveyor path from receiving a (further) pulse from the acceleration device which could deflect the coin from its trajectory.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a coin separating device 1, which has a conveyor 2 for conveying coins from an input container 40 along a conveying path 200 towards a coin collecting device 3.
  • the conveyor 2 is designed as a conveyor belt with two parallel, synchronously driven conveyor lines 20A, 20B.
  • Each conveyor line 20A, 20B is realized here by a circulating conveyor belt, wherein the conveyor strands 20A, 20B are guided on identical deflection elements 21, 22 in the form of deflection rollers and are driven in synchronous manner for a same direction movement with the same speed.
  • the conveyor belt 20 formed by the conveyor lines 20A, 20B serves to convey coins M from the input container 40 in a conveying direction F along the conveying path 200.
  • the conveying device 2 implements the so-called vertical separating principle in that the conveying direction F is directed with a directional vector component counter to the direction of gravity G (that is, the conveying direction F can be broken down into vector components, one of which is erected counter to the direction of gravity G).
  • a pair of carriers 23 is moved through the input container 40 and thus accesses a coin M, which - as in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown - comes to rest on the conveyor lines 20A, 20B and is held between the drivers 23A, 23B of the driver pair 23.
  • the coin M is now moved along the conveying path 200 in the conveying direction F, whereby the movement of the conveyor strands 20A, 20B takes place continuously and thus successively received coins and M from the input container 40 and along the conveyor line 200 are transported.
  • a ramp 24 and then in the conveying direction F thereafter a discharge device 25 are arranged on the conveyor line 200, which are to ensure that only one coin M is conveyed to each driver pair 23. If a coin M conveyed on a carrier pair 23 reaches the ramp 24, it runs on it and is thus offset (slightly) perpendicularly to the conveying direction F on the carrier pair 23 assigned to it. In this way, the coin M is lifted from the conveyor strands 20A, 20B, causing a second coin M disposed on the coin M to slide from the dogs 23A, 23B of the dog pair 23 and thus fall off the conveyor belt 20.
  • the coin M arrives at the ejection device 25, which has an inductive sensor 250, for example, and a downstream ejector 251 arranged in the conveying direction F, for example, of electromagnetic design. If it is detected by means of the (inductive) sensor 250 that a coin M on a pair of carriers 23 pushes another coin M in front of it, then the ejector 251 is actuated in a corresponding manner, and the further coin is thrown off.
