OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un almacén de monedas con movimiento translacional, aplicable en teléfonos públicos, previsto para situarse como almacén intermedio y provisional para aquellas monedas que han sido validadas por el correspondiente selector previsto en el teléfono público en el que es aplicable el almacén, todo ello con el fin de realizar el cobro de las monedas almacenadas, o bien la devolución simultánea de todas las monedas contenidas en dicho almacén, en el caso de no haber sido cobradas durante la utilización del teléfono.The present invention relates to a coin store with translational movement, applicable in public telephones, intended to be placed as an intermediate and provisional warehouse for those coins that have been validated by the corresponding selector provided in the public telephone in which the store is applicable , all this with the purpose of making the collection of the stored coins, or the simultaneous return of all the currencies contained in said warehouse, in the case of not having been charged during the use of the telephone.
Es objeto fundamental de la invención proporcionar un almacén intermedio y provisional para las monedas validadas por el selector de un teléfono público, cuyas características estructurales son tales que ofrece una plena fiabilidad operativa, asi como una drástica reducción dimensional frente a los almacenes convencionales previstos para los mismos fines.It is a fundamental object of the invention to provide an intermediate and provisional warehouse for the coins validated by the selector of a public telephone, whose structural characteristics are such that it offers full operational reliability, as well as a drastic dimensional reduction compared to the conventional warehouses provided for same ends.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Existen dos tipos de almacenes de monedas que se utilizan como depósitos intermedios o provisionales en teléfonos públicos, es decir, entre el correspondiente selector encargado de validar las monedas y el depósito de cobro o de devolución. Los almacenes provisionales están igualmente previstos para tener un movimiento rotacional o bien tener un movimiento translacional, de manera que en cualquier caso es necesario establecer su dimensionamiento en función del grosor y número de monedas multiplicado en un factor de cuatro, a fin de realizar los movimientos para el cobro y la devolución, lo que repercute en un sobredimensionamiento del conjunto.There are two types of coin stores that are used as intermediate or provisional deposits in public telephones, that is, between the corresponding selector responsible for validating the coins and the collection or return deposit. Provisional warehouses are also provided for have a rotational movement or have a translational movement, so that in any case it is necessary to establish its dimensioning based on the thickness and number of coins multiplied by a factor of four, in order to perform the movements for collection and return, which affects an oversize of the set.
Por otro lado, en los almacenes convencionales, en el caso de que los movimientos de aquellos sean translacionales, la devolución debe realizarse siempre en una única posición para el almacén.On the other hand, in conventional warehouses, in the event that the movements of those are translational, the return must always be made in a single position for the warehouse.
Al respecto pueden citarse las Patentes de Invención Españolas con N° ES 2004535 y N° ES 2004536, y aunque en este caso el mecanismo a que se refieren esas patentes está previsto para su aplicación en máquinas recreativas y accionables por monedas, es evidente que utilizan almacenes con movimiento de traslación y dotados de compartimientos susceptibles de enfrentarse a la salida del selector y posibilidad de desviar las monedas de cobro hacia un depósito o las monedas s/obrantes hacia un depósito de devolución.In this regard, Spanish Invention Patents with No. ES 2004535 and No. ES 2004536 can be cited, and although in this case the mechanism referred to in these patents is intended for application in recreational and coin-operated machines, it is evident that they use warehouses with movement of movement and equipped with compartments capable of facing the exit of the selector and the possibility of diverting the collection coins towards a deposit or the coins s / workers towards a return deposit.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El almacén que se preconiza presenta una serie de características estructurales que permiten obtener un conjunto de dimensiones muy reducidas respecto de otros almacenes de monedas previstos para los mismos fines, además de permitir llevar a cabo una devolución de monedas sobrantes en cualquier posición, a lo largo del recorrido translacional del almacén.The warehouse that is recommended presents a series of structural characteristics that allow obtaining a set of very small dimensions with respect to other stores of coins provided for the same purposes, in addition to allowing a return of surplus coins in any position, along of the translational route of the warehouse.
Más concretamente, el almacén intermedio de monedas con movimiento translacional para teléfonos públicos que la invención propone, se caracteriza porque comprende una serie de discos dispuestos paralelamente entre si con una separación ligeramente superior al grosor de las monedas, estando todos los discos vinculados entre si para formar en conjunto un cuerpo cilindrico de eje horizontal y con un corte longitudinal en su parte superior, dando lugar a que los discos determinen un segmentado transversal en ese considerado cuerpo cilindrico, con un número indeterminado de elementos, que dan lugar a otras tantas ranuras para el alojamiento y ubicación de las monedas procedentes del validador/selector correspondiente, con la especial particularidad de que las monedas quedan apoyadas en un falso suelo determinado por un segmento cilindrico de longitud doble que la que presenta el cuerpo cilindrico determinante de almacén propiamente dicho, de manera que ese falso suelo presenta una ranura central que cuando coincide con una de las monedas almacenadas en el cilindro en funciones de almacén, de acuerdo con el posicionado originado en los desplazamientos de translación de éste, lleva consigo la calda de esa moneda previo giro en un sentido del falso suelo, y cuya caida determina el medio de cobro de la moneda previamente validada.More specifically, the intermediate warehouse of coins with translational movement for public telephones that the invention proposes, is characterized in that it comprises a series of discs arranged parallel to each other with a separation slightly greater than the thickness of the coins, all the discs being linked together to form together a cylindrical body of horizontal axis and with a longitudinal cut in its upper part, resulting in the discs determining a transverse segmentation in that considered cylindrical body, with an indeterminate number of elements, which give rise to as many slots for the accommodation and location of the coins from the corresponding validator / selector, with the special feature that the coins are supported on a false floor determined by a cylindrical segment of double length than that presented by the storage cylindrical body itself, so that the false floor has a central slot that when it matches one of The coins stored in the cylinder in storage functions, in accordance with the positioning originated in the translational displacements of the latter, carry with them the stock of that currency prior to turning in a sense of the false ground, and whose fall determines the means of collection of The previously validated currency.
Ahora bien, en el caso de que se pretenda realizar la devolución de las monedas restantes que pudieran haber quedado en el almacén, el giro del falso suelo se realizará en sentido contrario, cayendo directamente todas las citadas y restantes monedas hacia el cajetín de devolución.However, in the event that it is intended to return the remaining coins that may have been left in the warehouse, the false floor will be turned in the opposite direction, all the aforementioned and remaining coins will fall directly towards the return box.
El número máximo de monedas que admitirá el almacén vendrá determinado lógicamente por el número de elementos discoidales y por lo tanto de ranuras determinadas por éstos, siendo las monedas ubicadas secuencial y aleatoriamente sobre las comentadas ranuras del almacén, en virtud del movimiento translacional de éste.The maximum number of coins that the The warehouse will be determined logically by the number of discoidal elements and therefore of slots determined by them, the currencies being located sequentially and randomly on the mentioned grooves of the warehouse, by virtue of its translational movement.
Como se decia con anterioridad, el cobro se realiza mediante el posicionamiento de la moneda a cobrar frente a la ranura de cobro establecida en el falso suelo, y posterior giro de éste en torno a su propio eje, mientras que el resto de monedas descansan sobre ese falso suelo y aunque se produzca el giro, al no estar enfrentadas ninguna de las otras monedas a la comentada ranura, permanecerán en el almacén hasta nuevo cobro o devolución.As previously stated, the payment is made by positioning the currency to be collected in front of the collection slot established in the false ground, and subsequent rotation of it around its own axis, while the rest of the coins rest on that false floor and although the turn takes place, not being faced any of the other currencies to the commented slot, they will remain in the warehouse until new collection or return.
El almacén citado está dimensionado en función del doble de grosor y número de monedas, en contra de lo que ocurre en los almacenes provisionales donde están dimensionados en función del grosor y número de monedas multiplicado en un factor de cuatro, a fin de realizar los movimientos para el cobro y la devolución.The aforementioned warehouse is sized based on double the thickness and number of coins, contrary to what happens in the provisional stores where they are sized based on the thickness and number of coins multiplied by a factor of four, in order to perform the movements for collection and return.
Mediante este almacén intermedio, destinado a ser instalado en teléfonos públicos que funcionen mediante la introducción de monedas, el importe cobrado por la conversación se ajusta lo más posible, en relación con las monedas validadas e introducidas por el usuario, al importe real de dicha conversación, posibilitando la devolución simultánea de la totalidad de las monedas no utilizadas para el mantenimiento de la conversación.Through this intermediate warehouse, destined to be installed in public telephones that work through the introduction of coins, the amount charged for the conversation is adjusted as much as possible, in relation to the coins validated and entered by the user, to the actual amount of said conversation , enabling the simultaneous return of all unused coins for the maintenance of the conversation.
El movimiento translacional, y por lo tanto longitudinal del almacén, se realizará mediante la acción de un motor para que la moneda que deba cobrarse se posicione frente a la ranura de cobro establecida en el falso suelo, para que una vez en esa la superficie del falso suelo gire sobre su propio eje en un sentido para que la moneda caiga hacia el depósito de cobro, mientras que para efectuar la devolución el almacén habrá de posicionarse en cualquier punto, a lo largo del falso suelo, llevar a cabo el giro de éste, en sentido contrario al de cobro, para que todas las monedas restantes en el almacén caigan hacia el cajetín de devolución.The translational movement, and therefore longitudinal of the warehouse, it will be carried out by means of the action of an engine so that the currency to be charged is positioned in front of the collection slot established in the false floor, so that once in that the surface of the false floor rotates on its own axis in a direction so that the currency falls towards the collection deposit, while to make the return the warehouse will have to be positioned at any point, along the false ground, to carry out the rotation of the latter, in the opposite direction to the collection, so that all the remaining coins in the warehouse fall towards the return box.
El dispositivo cuenta también con un sistema antifraude del almacén formado por un tornillo sin fin que hace de eje del cilindro y un sistema de engranajes o rueda dentada que permite el giro del falso suelo, de manera que sea imposible desplazar dicho almacén manualmente, evitando asi el acceso a las monedas allí depositadas.The device also has an anti-fraud system of the warehouse formed by an endless screw that acts as the axis of the cylinder and a gear or cogwheel system that allows the false floor to rotate, so that it is impossible to move said warehouse manually, thus avoiding Access to the coins deposited there.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNFigure 6.- It shows another view in longitudinal section of the detail corresponding to figure 2, being seen both in this figure 6 and in figure 5 the configuration of the warehouse, its length with respect to the false floor and the confrontation of the different grooves of the warehouse to the slots of the validator / selector, by translational movement of that. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Como se puede ver en las figuras referidas, el almacén de la invención, referenciado en general con el número (1) , está constituido por una pluralidad de tabiques o cuerpos discoidales (2) de escaso grosor, dispuestos paralelamente y de manera equidistante entre sí, formando un cuerpo general cilindrico de eje horizontal en donde la separación de los elementos o tabiques discoidales (2) constituyen correspondientes ranuras (3) a las que pueden acceder unitariamente otras tantas monedas (4) procedentes del validador/selector (5) .As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the warehouse of the invention, generally referenced with the number (1), is constituted by a plurality of partitions or discoid bodies (2) of small thickness, arranged in parallel and equidistant from each other. , forming a general cylindrical body with a horizontal axis where the separation of the discoid elements or partitions (2) constitute corresponding slots (3) that can be accessed together by as many coins (4) from the validator / selector (5).
El cuerpo cilindrico determinante del almacénThe determining cylindrical body of the warehouse
(1) está montado con carácter desplazable en sentido longitudinal, es decir en sentido de traslación, para que pueda irse posicionando bajo el validador/selector (5) y cada moneda (4) vaya ocupando una ranura (3) de este almacén que determina el cuerpo cilindrico (1).(1) it is mounted with a longitudinally movable character, that is, in the direction of translation, so that it can be positioned under the validator / selector (5) and each coin (4) occupies a slot (3) of this warehouse that determines the cylindrical body (1).
Para evitar que las monedas (4) caigan al estar las ranuras (3) del cuerpo cilindrico (1) totalmente abiertas por la parte inferior, se ha previsto una superficie en funciones de falso suelo (6), superficie que corresponde también a un sector de cilindro con un determinado ángulo de perímetro respecto de aquel, y cuyo falso suelo (6) constituye el medio de apoyo para las monedas (4) y es de longitud doble a la del almacén cilindrico (1) , con la especial particularidad de que tal falso suelo (6) es giratorio respecto de su propio eje horizontal (7) y está afectado de una ranura central (8) de manera tal que cuando una moneda (4) del almacén (1) queda enfrentada a esa ranura (8) y se produce el giro en un sentido del falso suelo (6), se origina la caída de esa moneda (4), como se representa en la figura 3, y que corresponde a la situación de cobro, mientras que el giro en sentido contrario del falso suelo (6), como se representa en la figura 4, lleva consigo la caída de todas las monedas (4) del almacén (1), ya que en este caso el giro será mayor y lógicamente caerán todas las monedas. En el giro de cobro el ángulo es menor para que únicamente caiga la moneda enfrentada a la ranura (8), manteniéndose el resto de monedas (4) sobre la superficie cilindrica que determina ese falso suelo (6). Evidentemente, el falso suelo (6) envuelve en parte un determinado ángulo del perímetro inferior del almacén cilindrico (1) como se representa, por ejemplo, en las figuras 1 a 4.In order to prevent the coins (4) from falling when the grooves (3) of the cylindrical body (1) are completely open at the bottom, a surface in function of false soil (6) is provided, a surface that also corresponds to a sector of cylinder with a certain perimeter angle with respect to that one, and whose false ground (6) constitutes the support means for the coins (4) and is of double length to that of the cylindrical warehouse (1), with the special feature that such a false floor (6) is rotatable with respect to its own horizontal axis (7) and is affected by a central slot (8) such that when a coin (4) of the store (1) faces that slot (8) and the rotation takes place in a sense of the false ground (6), originates the fall of that coin (4), as represented in figure 3, and that corresponds to the collection situation, while the counterclockwise rotation of the false ground (6), as represented in figure 4, carries I get the fall of all the coins (4) of the warehouse (1), since in this case the turn will be greater and logically all the coins will fall. In the payment turn the angle is smaller so that only the coin facing the slot (8) falls, keeping the rest of the coins (4) on the cylindrical surface that determines that false ground (6). Obviously, the false floor (6) partly involves a certain angle of the lower perimeter of the cylindrical store (1) as shown, for example, in Figures 1 to 4.
Cabe igualmente resaltar el hecho de que en virtud de la longitud doble del falso suelo (6) respecto del almacén (1) , éste podrá desplazarse a lo largo de esa longitud del falso suelo (6) y permitir efectuar la devolución de las monedas en cualesquiera de las posiciones extremas, así como en cualquier posición intermedia, lo que independiza la posición del almacén de la posibilidad de devolución.It is also worth highlighting the fact that by virtue of the double length of the false floor (6) with respect to the warehouse (1), it may move along that length of the false floor (6) and allow the return of the coins in any of the extreme positions, as well as in any intermediate position, which makes the warehouse position independent of the possibility of return.
Igualmente cabe destacar el hecho de que en virtud de que los tabiques o elementos discoidales (2) que determinan las ranuras (3) para las monedas (4), pueden tener un grosor mínimo, en combinación con el sistema de su suelo (6), permite una reducción de tamaño considerable respecto a los almacenes convencionales utilizados para los mismos fines.Also noteworthy is the fact that by virtue of the partitions or discoid elements (2) that determine the slots (3) for the coins (4), they can have a minimum thickness, in combination with the system of their floor (6) , allows a considerable reduction in size compared to conventional stores used for the same purposes.
Otra característica importante es el mecanismo antifraude del almacén, que imposibilita que una actuación externa pueda desplazar el cilindro (1) manualmente o provocar el giro manualmente del falso suelo (6) de forma que se acceda a las monedas contenidas en el mismo. Para ello, se ha dispuesto un tornillo sin fin (9) que hace las veces de eje del cilindro (1) y que permite su desplazamiento longitudinal, así como un sistema de engranajes o rueda dentada que permite el giro del falso suelo (6) , de tal manera que debido al carácter de irreversibilidad de los tornillos no es posible desplazar el almacén a lo largo del eje horizontal (7) . Además, es imposible girar manualmente la rueda dentada cuyo giro posibilita el desplazamiento del suelo (6) sin antes romper los dientes del tornillo con el que está engranada. Another important feature is the warehouse's anti-fraud mechanism, which makes it impossible for an external action to displace the cylinder (1) manually or manually turn the false floor (6) so that the coins contained therein are accessed. To this end, an endless screw (9) has been provided that acts as the axis of the cylinder (1) and allows its longitudinal displacement, as well as a gear or cogwheel system that allows the rotation of the false floor (6) , so that due to the irreversibility of the screws, it is not possible to move the warehouse along the horizontal axis (7).
