Definitions
- the invention relates to a transport device for coins or the like having a coin channel, which is assigned a coin entry and a coin exit, wherein an acceleration device comprising a fluid accelerating device transports the coin from the coin entry in the direction of the coin exit, and a device for this purpose.
- US 3 419 209 A discloses a coin conveying device having means for moving at least one coin in a predetermined direction of movement which does not correspond to the direction of gravity, under a force free from the action of a moving mechanical component which forces the coins using air or accelerate water in a tube.
- DE 10 2011 055 538 A1 shows a transport device for coins, which comprises means for moving at least one coin in a predetermined direction of movement, which does not correspond to the direction of gravity, under a force free from the action of a moving mechanical component, wherein the Transport device is coupled to a detecting the presence of the coin detecting means to accelerate the coins, if necessary, in the predetermined direction of movement.
- the invention has for its object to provide a transport device and a device of the type mentioned, which allows a reliable, low-wear transport of coins in a coin channel with any slope.
- a coin conveying device or the like comprises a coin channel to which a coin entry and a coin exit are associated, wherein an accelerator device comprising a fluid accelerating device transports the coin from the coin entry toward the coin exit.
- the device is inserted into an existing between the coin inlet and the coin outlet bypass line for the fluid, wherein the fluid flowing through the coin channel accelerates the coin.
- a device in particular entertainment gaming machine, comprises a coin processing device, which is associated with a previously explained transport device.
- the device comprising, for example, a pump, a propeller, a turbine or a compressor or the like is designed such that it sets a fluid in a flow movement, so that the flowing fluid entrains the coin, that accelerates and through the coin channel from the coin inlet to the Coin exit transported.
- the fluid does not flow completely out of the coin entry or coin exit, which is open, for example, to the surroundings, but flows through the bypass line present between the coin entry and the coin exit, which is substantially fluidically arranged parallel to the coin channel. Due to the flow rate of the fluid, it is possible to transport the coin, for example, through a substantially horizontally oriented coin channel or a coin channel running in a slope so that the coin does not move or accelerate due to its gravity.
- the coin entry may be associated, for example, with a coin stacking tube or a coin box or a coin insertion slot and the coin exit with a payout tray, a coin stacking tube, or a coin box.
- the fluid is gaseous and the Device comprises an electric motor driven propeller or compressor as part of the accelerator.
- the propeller or the compressor is arranged in the region of the coin inlet.
- the gaseous fluid may be ambient air and the propeller is a simple turbomachine capable of conveying the air through the coin channel and the bypass line at a rate such that a coin is transported through the coin channel.
- the propeller is a simple turbomachine capable of conveying the air through the coin channel and the bypass line at a rate such that a coin is transported through the coin channel.
- the compressor can be configured as desired piston compressor, turbo compressor or directionalenverdi chter.
- the device comprises a Venturi nozzle, which is arranged between the propeller or the compressor and the coin inlet. Accordingly, entrainment of the coin from the coin inlet and its transport into the coin channel is ensured.
- the fluid flowing through the bypass line may serve to cool the device, with the heat being exchanged with the fluid via the wall of the bypass. This heat transfer can be enhanced by the arrangement of ribs on the outer wall of the bypass line.
- the device comprises a centrifugal separator, which is upstream of the propeller or the compressor in the flow direction.
- a centrifugal separator which is also referred to as a cyclone, cyclone separator or cyclone filter, particles, such as dust, are separated from the flowing air.
- the electric motor of the propeller or the electric motor associated with the compressor with an electronic control connected.
- the controller is, for example, part of the coin processing device of the device or connected to an electronic control of the coin processing device such that during a readiness of the coin processing device, the propeller or the compressor accelerates the fluid so that it flows through the coin channel and the bypass for transporting a coin.
- the propeller may be, for example, a radial fan, which is available at low cost as a commercially available component and can be operated with a voltage of, in particular, up to 50V.
- the moving parts of the propeller are arranged so that they do not come into contact with the coins to be transported.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of the detail II of FIG. 1 in an alternative embodiment
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the detail II of FIG. 1 in a further alternative embodiment.
- the transport device 1 for coins 2 comprises a coin channel 3 with an associated coin inlet 4 and a coin exit 5, wherein the coin exit 5 is arranged in a mounting position of the transport device 1 in a device 6 either in a plane with the coin entrance 4 or above the coin entrance 4 or at least in a plane below the coin entrance 4, that the coin 2 is not due to its gravity from the coin entrance 4 to the coin exit 5, but must experience an acceleration in order to overcome at least the frictional forces acting within the coin channel 3.
- the coin channel 3 is coupled in the region of the coin inlet 4 and the coin outlet 5 with a bypass line 7, in the vicinity of the coin inlet 4, a propeller 8 comprehensive device 9 for accelerating a fluid formed as air, within the coin channel 3 and the bypass line 7 is present, is used. Furthermore, a recoverable flap 25 is arranged in the region of the coin inlet 4 and the coin outlet 5, so that the air flow does not escape permanently into the open.
- An accelerator device 24 comprising the propeller 8 of the device 9 or the electric motor 10 driving the propeller is connected to an electronic controller 11 of a coin processing device 12 of the device 6 in such a way that the propeller 8 is in operation as soon as the coin processing device 12 of the device 6 is switched on Thus, the coin processing device 12 of the device 6 is ready for processing coins 2, so that there is a permanent air flow within the bypass line 7 and the coin channel, as indicated by the arrows 13.
- the controller 1 1 the speed of the electric motor 10 and thus of the propeller 8 can also be varied.
- the area between the propeller 8 and the coin channel 3 is formed as a Venturi nozzle 14, which is coupled to the coin inlet 4, to suck the coin 2 to be transported and transferred into the coin channel.
- the accelerator 24 of the device 9 comprises a compressor 15 instead of the propeller 8 to generate the air flow.
- the compressor 15 is to his Drive coupled to the electric motor 10, which in turn is connected via electrical conductors 20 to the controller 1 1, wherein the controller 1 1 sets the electric motor 10 in operation or regulates its speed if necessary.
- a further nozzle 16 is arranged, which is connected to an inflow line 17 of the bypass line 7 in order to introduce air into the nozzle 16 via corresponding inlets 18.
- a centrifugal separator 19 is connected in the flow direction in front of the compressor 15 or of course in front of the propeller 8 to separate particles such as dust from the air flow, and thus to reduce contamination within the transport device 1 or damage of the compressor 15 and the propeller 8 due to the influence of particles as possible to avoid.
- bypass line 7 Due to the air flow through the bypass line 7 cooling of the device is possible, wherein the cooling effect is enhanced when the bypass line 7 has ribs on its outer wall.
- the coin processing device 12 of the device 6 comprises a plurality of coin stack tubes 21 comprehensive payout unit 22, the controller 11, if necessary, causes the exit of a coin 2, which passes through the air flow through the coin inlet 4 in the coin channel 3, is conveyed through this to the coin exit 5 to to get into a payout tray 23 of the device 6.
