Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Münzsortiermaschine for sorting coins, with a housing, an openable housing cover and covered at least in a closed position from the housing cover coin conveyor, wherein the Münz inconvenience drove at least one Münztransportpfad and at least one relative to the Münztransportpfad movable coin conveyor for conveying coins along the Münztransportpfads having.
  • the Münzsortiermaschinen housing which consist of a fixed part and a housing cover.
  • the housing cover In the closed state, ie in the closed position of the housing cover, at least the coin conveyor, ie the coin transport path and the coin conveyor are covered by the housing cover.
  • This is important in order to minimize the noise during coin transport and to prevent injury to an operator.
  • the housing cover In the event of a system failure, for example caused by a canted coin on the coin transport path or by a foreign object, it may be necessary to gain access to the coin transport path. To do this, the housing cover must first be removed or opened. Subsequently, the at least one coin conveyor must be removed from the at least one coin transport path so far that access to the coin transport path is possible. It must therefore be performed several handles until an operator receives access to the at least one Münztransportpfad.
  • the object of the invention is achieved for the aforementioned Münzsortiermaschine characterized in that the housing cover coupled to the at least one coin conveyor and in an open position of the housing cover, the at least one Münztransportpfad with open and accessible from outside the housing.
  • the at least one coin transport path is made accessible from outside by moving the housing cover into the open position.
  • the solution according to the invention thus makes it possible to obtain quick access to the at least one coin transport path.
  • the at least one coin transport path can be made automatically accessible when the housing cover is brought into the open position or held in the open position.
  • the housing cover and the at least one coin conveyor can be coupled to one another via a preferably elastic tension element.
  • the coupling can be realized particularly easily.
  • a pull on the housing cover to move it from the closed position to the open position can be passed through the tension member on the at least one coin conveyor, so that the coin conveyor is lifted from the at least one Münztransportpfad.
  • the tension element is additionally elastic, the coin conveyor can be lifted off the coin transport path in a particularly gentle manner.
  • At least one delay element can be arranged between the housing cover and the at least one coin conveyor.
  • the delay element can serve to lift the at least one coin conveyor only when the housing cover has traveled a predetermined portion of the distance in the movement in the open position. As a result, it can be prevented that, with only a slight movement of the housing cover, a movement of the at least one coin conveyor is already triggered.
  • the at least one delay element can be formed for example by an elastic tension element.
  • the delay element may be formed by mechanical elements configured to delay a train.
  • the housing cover and the at least one coin conveyor may be rotatably mounted at a common pivot point on a stationary part of the housing of Münzsortiermaschine.
  • the coin sorting machine can have at least one positioning device for positioning the at least one coin conveyor relative to the at least one coin transport path.
  • the positioning device may help to optimally position the at least one coin conveyor for conveying to the coin along the coin transport path.
  • the at least one positioning device can in particular serve to move the at least one coin conveyor back into an operating position, when the housing cover is arranged in the closed position, for example, after the housing cover was opened.
  • the at least one positioning device may comprise at least one locking member for positive retention of the coin conveyor in the at least one position.
  • the at least one positioning device may be configured to assume an operative position in which the coin conveyor is oriented for transporting coins on the coin transport path and a release position in which the coin conveyor is released for movement away from the coin transport path. Moreover, it is advantageous if the at least one positioning device is designed to occupy a rest position in which the coin conveyor is at least partially spaced further than in the operating position of the Münztransportpfad. In the operating position, the positioning device adjusts the coin conveyor so for the promotion of coins on the transport path. In the release position, the positioning device can release the coin conveyor, so that it can be moved away from the Münztransportpfad when opening the housing cover.
  • the positioning device can position the coin conveyor so that a reduced contact pressure is generated in the direction of the Münztransportpfad.
  • the bristles of the brush may be moved away from the coin transport path or may be loosely disposed thereon to relieve the brush and thereby increase the life.
  • the rest position can also be taken when the housing cover is arranged in the closed position. The rest position can be taken automatically, for example, when not using the device for a long time.
  • the at least one positioning device can be designed as a cam control.
  • the curve control at least the operating position and the release position can be taken from the coin conveyor. It is advantageous if the rest position can be adjusted by the curve control.
  • the at least one positioning device on the coin conveyor may comprise a worm with a track and a pin engageable with the track at a stationary part of the coin sorter relative to the coin transport path.
  • the pin may for example be rigidly connected to the stationary part of the housing or to the Münztransportpfad.
  • the screw can rotate the pin so that the above mentioned positions can be taken.
  • the positioning device can exert a previously defined contact pressure of the coin conveyor in the direction of the coin transport path. The amount of pressure can be adjusted by the relative position of the screw to the coin conveyor and the pin to the coin transport path.
  • a thickness of a leg of the screw in the region of one end of the track can be selected for adjusting the contact pressure.
  • the at least one positioning device can have at least one position sensor for detecting at least one position of the positioning device.
  • the Münzsortiermaschine may comprise at least one elastically deformable buffer element which is adapted to space the screw at least in the release position of the pin.
  • the buffer element also prevents the impact of the screw on the pin when the housing cover is closed and thereby the coin conveyor is lowered onto the Münztransportpfad. This can on the one hand the positioning itself, but also protect other parts of the Münzsortiermaschine from damage, especially when closing the housing cover.
  • this can have at least one locking system, preferably with electronic control, by which at least the housing cover in the closed position can be locked.
  • the at least one locking system can be designed to control the at least one positioning device.
  • the at least one locking system can be connected to the positioning device via a control line. If the at least one locking system is designed to control the at least one positioning device, it is possible, for example, to unlock the housing cover simultaneously instructing the positioning device to assume the release position to move the coin conveyor away from the coin transport path upon opening the housing cover. Conversely, locking the housing cover in the closed position by the locking system may cause the positioning device to assume the operating position. Likewise, a control of the locking system can be used to move the positioning device in the rest position.
  • the locking system is electronically controllable, wherein the electronic control also the positioning device is controlled. If, for example, the housing cover is to be opened, the locking of the housing cover can be released and, at the same time, the positioning device can assume the release position. Preferably, the housing cover is unlocked only when the positioning device has taken the release position.
  • An embodiment of a locking system may include two pairs of complementary locking elements. To close the housing, the locking elements can be brought into engagement with the locking elements. To release the housing cover for opening, the locking elements can be detached from each other.
  • the locking elements may be formed according to the principle of an electric door opener, so that at least one of the locking elements is electrically movable to hold or release the respective complementary element.
  • the electronic control can ensure that the unlocking of the housing cover is only possible when the positioning device is in the release position.
  • the electronic control can also cause the positioning device when closing the housing cover, again assume the operating position and exert a defined contact pressure of the coin conveyor, or the brush on the Münztransportpfad. Likewise, especially when not using the Münzsortiermaschine the electronic control cause the positioning to go to the rest position.
  • this can be connected to at least one holding element which is adapted to hold the housing cover in the open position.
  • the holding element may be formed, for example, as arranged between the housing cover and the rest of the housing gas spring.
