Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coin sorting machine for sorting coins, with a plurality of coin paths for transporting coins through the coin sorting machine, the coin paths having at least one output path for outputting sorted counter coins and at least one reject path beginning at a sorting device for outputting rejects, wherein A coin counting device designed to output a counting signal is arranged in the at least one output path, with the coin path for a counting coin being switched at least in sections, depending on the counting signal, from the output path to the at least one reject path, with a receptacle for at least one container-shaped insert or for at least one insert with a feed-through device to a coin container, and wherein the coin sorting machine has a plurality of interchangeable inserts for receiving, of which at least one insert has a feed-through device and at least one insert is designed as a coin container.
  • the invention also relates to a method for sorting coins with a coin sorting machine according to the invention, the coins running from a sorting device either along at least one output path for
  • Coin sorting machines and methods of sorting coins are known in the art. When operating coin sorting machines or when sorting coins, it is desirable to achieve as high a coin throughput as possible and to avoid interruptions in the sorting process or to keep them as short as possible. It is therefore the object of the invention to improve a coin sorting machine of the aforementioned type and a method for sorting coins such that interruptions in the operation of coin sorting machines are avoided or kept as short as possible.
  • a coin sorting machine is known, according to the preamble of claim 1, which has a container which can be used both for buffering coins and for passing them through.
  • U.S. 2007/218822 A1 there is known a coin sorting machine configured to detect whether a coin box is located at a predetermined position below an outlet of the duct.
  • the object according to the invention is achieved by a coin sorting machine according to claim 1, wherein the receptacle has at least two compartments that can be removed repeatedly and/or one below the other having interchangeably designed inserts, each compartment being connected to a different reject path, and wherein at least one compartment has a sensor device for detecting a container identifier.
  • the object is achieved by the method steps described in claim 8 and carried out with a coin sorting machine according to the invention.
  • the solution according to the invention thus allows counting coins to be routed via a reject path as a function of the counting signal instead of via an output path. This can take place, for example, when it is recognized from the counting signal that a collecting container for counting coins at one end of the output path is full.
  • the counting coins that is to say coins which were recognized as countable coins and were intended to be output via an output path, can be routed via a reject path, for example, while the full container is exchanged for an empty one. This means that the operation of the coin sorting machine does not have to be interrupted.
  • counting coins are coins that are genuine, correspond to a currency to be counted, have a defined coin value and are fit for circulation.
  • counting coins can thus be output via a reject path by a sorting device.
  • the sorting device can belong to a sorting device of the coin sorting machine.
  • the at least one scrap path is for scrap.
  • Rejects can be coins which do not belong to the coins to be sorted or counted. For example, foreign currencies, counterfeits or unfit coins. Objects can also form rejects.
  • a transit device is designed to transport coins to another location. This may be necessary, for example, if there is not enough space at the receiving station for a coin container of an appropriate size and the coins are to be transported to another location in order to be collected there.
  • the receptacle has at least two compartments for repeatedly removable and/or interchangeable inserts, each compartment being connected to a different reject path, facilitates the handling of coin containers or routing devices when connected to the coin sorting machine.
  • the inserts can either be coin receptacles or have pass-through devices.
  • At least one compartment has a sensor device for detecting a container identifier in order to be able to identify inserts in the receptacle.
  • the solution according to the invention can be further improved by various configurations that are advantageous in and of themselves and can be combined with one another as desired. These embodiments and the advantages associated with them are discussed below.
  • the features described in relation to the coin sorting machine can be used in the method according to the invention. Likewise, the features described in relation to the method can be implemented on the coin sorting machine according to the invention.
  • the coin sorting machine can have a sorting device which is designed to distribute coins to different coin paths.
  • the sorting device can therefore direct a coin either to at least one exit path or to at least one reject path.
  • the coin sorting machine preferably also has a coin recognition device which recognizes the properties of a coin and controls the sorting device accordingly in order to direct the coin to the coin path assigned on the basis of the recognition.
  • a coin diverter can be arranged in the at least one output path, which can divert a counting coin to a reject path after it has already covered a section on the output path.
  • a coin counting device designed to output a second counting signal can be arranged in the at least one reject path and the coin path for a counting coin can be switched at least in sections from the at least one reject path to a further reject path depending on the second count signal. This can be useful when the coin sorting machine has multiple reject paths. If, according to the invention, a counting coin has been routed to one of the reject paths instead of to an output path, the count coin can be routed to a further reject path, depending on the count signal of the reject path. This may be necessary when the counting signal indicates that a maximum quantity of coins has been reached in a collection container connected to the reject path. The counter coin can then be routed to another reject path.
  • the at least one coin counting device in the at least one reject path can also be used to actively contribute to coin counting. If coins are directed to a reject path instead of to an output path, these coins can be counted.
  • the coins routed and counted via the reject path can be added to the coins dispensed via the output path at the end of a counting process and the sum of the coins via the coins routed through the reject path are added to the sum of the coins routed through the output path.
  • the coin sorting machine can have at least one sensor device designed to read out a container identifier, which is assigned to the at least one output path or the at least one reject path.
  • the container identifier can in particular contain information about the type and/or capacity of a container connected to an output path or a reject path.
  • the container identifier can additionally or alternatively contain further information. If, instead of a container, another element, for example a forwarding or through-feed device, is to be connected to a coin path, this element can also have a container identifier.
  • the at least one sensor device can have electrical contacts for connection to complementary contacts of an identification means which contains the container identifier.
  • the sensor device can also be an optical sensor, for example for detecting 1D or 2D codes. It is also possible for the sensor device to be an RFID reader. As an alternative to this, the sensor device can be an inductive coding sensor.
  • the sensor device can also be another device, not mentioned here, designed to recognize a container identifier.
  • the container identifier can be used to draw conclusions about the capacity of a container.
  • the container identifier can either itself contain a maximum number of coins or be able to retrieve the corresponding value for the maximum coin capacity from a comparison table.
  • the coin sorting machine preferably has a sensor device for reading out a container identifier for each reject path. It may be sufficient for the output paths to have a sensor device in each case which is designed to only recognize the type of coin container, for example a container or a bag. However, it is also possible to provide at least one output path with a sensor device which is designed to read out a container identifier of a coin container connected to the output path.
  • the coin sorting machine can be designed in such a way that the counting signal is compared with a capacitance value for a coin container at the end of an output path, which is obtained on the basis of the container identifier. If the counting signal indicates that the maximum capacity of the container has been reached, the coin path can be switched to a reject path for further counting coins that were intended for this output path. The full coin container can then be exchanged exchanged for an empty coin box. The coin sorting machine can register the exchange and switch the coin path for the counting coins back from the reject path to the output path. The counting coins that have meanwhile been issued via the reject path can be collected in a reject container and automatically or manually fed back to an entrance of the coin sorting machine.
  • a receptacle for at least one container-shaped insert can be arranged in the at least one reject path in addition to the receptacle for use with a feed-through device.
  • coins can be directly collected while
  • At least one compartment can enforce the at least one scrap path. As a result, it can be designed for the use of a feed-through device. A first section of the scrap path can open out into the compartment and a second section can begin in the compartment. In particular, the compartment can have at least one opening for connecting a coin slot.
  • An insert can be inserted into this compartment, which has a passage device with an inlet and with an outlet, which can be arranged in the at least one scrap path and which directs the scrap path from the inlet to the outlet.
  • the routing device can thus be designed to route coins, which are routed, for example, from a sorting device of the coin sorting machine via the reject path to the compartment, via the exit.
  • the scrap path then extends through the insert, passing through the entrance and through the exit.
  • the compartment and the insert are preferably designed in such a way that the above-mentioned second section of the waste path can be reached via the exit.
  • the exit on the insert can be an opening that exposes a coin chute connected to the compartment.
  • the coin sorting machine can comprise at least one insert for a compartment having at least one identification means, wherein the at least one identification means is designed to be read out by the at least one sensor device and is provided with the container identifier.
  • the at least one means of identification can therefore be an information carrier that contains the container identifier. If the sensor device is an optical sensor, for example, the identification means can be in the form of a 1D or 2D code. If the sensor device is in the form of an RFID reader, the identification means can be in the form of an RFID transponder, for example.
  • An insert with a passage device can also have an identification means with a container identifier. If the routing device is designed, for example, to route the reject path to a more distant or larger coin container, the container identifier of the insert can have information about this container. Alternatively or additionally, the container identifier for this insert can also contain the information that the insert has a passage device.
  • the coin sorting machine has a plurality of interchangeable inserts. At least one insert has a feed-through device and at least one insert is designed as a coin container.
  • the holder particularly preferably has three compartments. One compartment can be designed for an insert with a feed-through device and two compartments for inserts designed as coin containers.
  • the coin sorting machine also preferably comprises at least one insert with a feed-through device and at least two inserts designed as coin containers. At least one insert designed as a coin container can be designed as a collecting box and another insert designed as a coin container can be designed as a flat shell. However, all inserts can also be formed as coin containers.
  • all compartments have sensor devices for reading out a container identifier and all inserts have identification means, each with a container identifier. This allows the inserts in the compartments to be exchanged as desired. Thanks to the sensor devices and the identification means, the coin sorting machine recognizes which insert is arranged in which compartment and can allocate the respective capacity of the insert to the reject path in question. It can also be possible in this way to assign the sorting devices to the respective inserts.
  • the coin sorting machine can have at least one sorting device with a sorting path for coins to be sorted, an inlet to a reject path being arranged along the sorting path in front of an inlet to a discharge path.

  • the coins can then be moved through the inlet to the exit path before being moved to the inlets connected to the exit paths.
  • the counting coins are intercepted by the sorting device or by the sorting-out device and output via the reject path.
  • the method according to the invention can be further improved in that the counting coins are routed to the at least one reject path instead of to the at least one output path when a predetermined value is exceeded.
