- the electronic control device is programmable and is connected to the components of the coin mechanism 20, in order to apply the storage method which is programmed.
- a coin is not identified by the selector 24, it is sent directly to a bowl 26 located at the bottom of the coin mechanism 20 which allows the user to recover the non-zero coin.
- the parts identified by the selector 24 are then sent to a store 28 for storing the parts.
- the magazine 28 includes an upper reserve 32s forming a pre-box which receives the parts identified by the selector 24, and reserves 32 arranged below the pre-box 32s which are six in number here.
- the pre-box 32s and the lower reserves 32 are of identical structure, and are of circular annular shape, superimposed and coaxial with vertical axis A.
- a guide member 36 makes it possible to direct the parts towards the bowl 26 or towards the trunk 34, as a function of their point of exit 38 or 40 from the last reserve 32i.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show the pre-body 32s, however, the latter being of structure identical to the reserves 32 and it will be understood that the description which follows can also apply to any one of the reserves 32.
- the pre-box 32s comprises a charger 42 arranged in a fixed cassette 44.
- the charger 42 is constituted by a circular annular crown of vertical axis A comprising vertical partitions 46 radial or radiating, interconnected at their inner radial ends by a connecting ring 48.
- the radiating partitions 46 thus delimit locations 50 whose upper and lower faces are open.
- Cassette 44 has a circular annular bottom
- the pre-box 32 s also includes means for driving the loader 42 in rotation about its axis A.
- These means comprise a motor 58 of the stepping type which carries on its output shaft a first pinion 60 which meshes with a second pinion 62 which cooperates with a toothed ring 64 integral with the loader 42 for the rotational drive of the latter.
- Two idler gears 66 mesh with the crown 64 to ensure the centering of the loader 42 around the axis A.
- the bottom 52 of the cassette 44 has an opening 68 ( Figure 4) located under the locations 50, and the cover 56 also has an opening 70 located vertically from the opening 68 of the bottom 52 of the cassette 44.
- These two openings 68, 70 have a circumferential width making it possible to release the open upper and lower faces from two consecutive locations 50.
- the openings 68, 70 of the pre-box 32s and of all the reserves 32 are all aligned vertically, and the motors 58 of each loader are controlled by the distributor control device so that two consecutive locations 50 are located opposite the openings 68, 70, thus forming two vertical channels 72, 74 passing through the reserves 32 and the pre-body 32s.
- the openings 68, 70 are arranged so that the channels 72, 74 each open out via an exit point 38, 40 from the last reserve 32i, a first channel 72 opening to the trunk 34 and the second channel 74 opening to the bowl 26.
- each cassette 44 has for this purpose a lock 76 shown on a larger scale in Figures 4a to 4c.
- the lock is slidably mounted in a horizontal radial direction relative to the cassette 44 between a first position (FIG. 4a) in which it closes the part of the opening 68 corresponding to the second channel 74, a second position (FIG.
- the latch 76 is a horizontal plane element which extends radially outwards and whose outer radial end 78 extends angularly so as to close off the part of the opening 68 corresponding to the second channel 74 when the latch 76 is in its first position.
- the intermediate radial portion 80 of the latch 76 extends angularly so as to close off the entire opening 68 when the latch 76 is in its second position, and the inner radial end 82 of the latch 76 extends angularly so that close off the part of the opening 68 corresponding to the first channel 72 when the latch 76 is in its third position.
- Each housing 50 closed on its underside is capable of receiving, in the vertical and radial position, any of the parts capable of being accepted by the selector 24.
- the pre-box 32s also includes a sensor 90 of the position of the loader 42 which is connected to the electronic control device in order to know the exact angular position of each location 50 relative to a fixed reference.
- the sensor 90 is a proximity sensor, it sends an electrical impulse to the electronic control device at each passage of the outer radial end of a partition 46, that is to say when the charger 48 moves from a location 50 Furthermore, the direction of rotation of the loader is determined by the electronic control device. Thus, by counting the number of pulses it receives, and as a function of the direction of rotation of the charger 48, the electronic control device is capable of determining the angular displacement of each location 50, it is therefore possible for it to determine the angular position of each. In addition, when is received in a location 50 or when a part leaves the location in which it is housed, the electronic control device stores the new state of location 50, that is to say the value of the new room it houses, or if it is empty again.
- the coin mechanism 20 is in an initial state in which all of the locations 50 of the precash 32s are empty, certain locations of the reserves 32 are empty and the others each contain one piece.
- the chargers 42 of each reserve 32 are arranged so that two empty slots 50 are arranged in the two channels 72, 74, and the locks of the pre-body and of all the reserves are in their third position, (shown in FIG. 4c) in which they only block the first channel 72.
- the electronic control device has memorized the angular position of each location 50 and the value of the part it contains or the fact that this location 50 is empty.
- the method comprises an initial step 98 of defining the amount to be received following the choice of an object desired by the user, and the lights of the distributor display the amount of money to be provided for the requested service.
- the definition step 98 is followed by a test step
- step 102 of the action of the user which depends on the action by the user on a button for canceling the dispenser or of inserting a coin into the slot 22.
- step 104 of rendering all the parts which will have been inserted by the user, which consists in rotating the loader 42 of the pre-box 32s in the anti-direction - timetable so as to bring all the pieces which have been introduced by the user and stored in the pre-box 32 s in the second channel 74 to transfer them to the bowl 26.
- the test step 102 is followed by a reception step 100 of each piece entered by the user.
- This reception step 100 is carried out by the selector 24 and it consists in recognizing the coin received to determine its value. If the part is not identified, it is directed directly to the bowl 26 by the second channel 74.
- the inserted part When the inserted part is identified, it is directed towards the pre-box 32s by the first channel 72. Since the latch 76 of the pre-box 32s is in its third position, it closes the first channel 72. As a result, the part is stopped by the lock and stored in a location 50 of the 32 s pre-box.
- the charger 42 of the pre-box 32 After receipt of each identified part, the charger 42 of the pre-box 32 s rotates one step clockwise, referring to FIG. 1, so as to present the following location 50 empty opposite the first channel 72.
- the electronic control device stores the "number" of the location 50 and the value of the part which has just been received and stored in this location 50.
- the reception step 100 is followed by a step of calculating the sum received 106 which consists in adding the values of all the coins present in the precash 32 s. If the amount received is less than the amount to be received, the method loops so that the step of calculating the amount received 106 is followed by the test step 102. If the amount is sufficient for the payment of the service, that is to say that it is greater than or equal to the amount to be received, the step of calculating the amount received 106 is followed by a step of returning money 108 which consists in giving the user a amount of money corresponding to the difference between the amount received and the amount receivable for the payment of the object. This rendering step 108 will be described later.
- the rendering step 108 is followed by a collection step 110 of the coins received and stored in the pre-box 32s, which consists in determining whether each piece received and which is present in the pre-box must be stored in the store 28 or in the trunk 34, and this, according to the parts already present in the store 28, and according to the programming of the electronic control device.
- the method comprises a periodic step 1 12 of calculating the maximum number of pieces of each value capable of being stored in the store 28.
- This calculation step 1 12 makes it possible to vary the number of slots 50 dedicated to a coin value so that there is only a small number of coins which remain unused, and in particular in order to space out the loads. from the store in new parts.
- the calculation step 1 12 consists in determining the values of coins which are likely to be quickly exhausted, and in increasing the number of slots 50 dedicated to these coin values, and conversely, in reducing the number of slots 50 dedicated to coin values for which the majority of the 50 spaces dedicated to them are likely to be always filled.
- the calculated numbers are determined so that their sum does not exceed the storage capacity of the coin mechanism 20.
- the number of slots dedicated to these values will be increased. And for coin values that are entered as often as they are returned, the number of slots dedicated to these values will also be reduced. According to a variant of the invention, for coins of certain values which are introduced less often than they are returned, these coins are always collected in the magazine 28, within the limit of the capacity of the coin mechanism 20. According to this variant, the maximum number of coins of these values is then the capacity of the coin mechanism 20, the sum of all the maximum numbers is then no longer limited.
- the method no longer comprises a calculation step 1 12, the maximum numbers of coins of each value are then predetermined by programming the coin mechanism 20 during its installation on site.
- the electronic control device memorizes the quantities of coins of each value which are received and which are returned during the various transactions which take place during of a period. The calculation is carried out on the basis of this history and also on the basis of the numbers determined during the preceding calculation step 1 12.
- the length of the period is determined so that a sufficient number of transactions can take place between two calculation steps 1 12. It can therefore be a period of time, or a number of transactions.
- the method includes for this a test step 1 14 which takes place after the collection step 1 10, and which checks whether the period of the calculation step 1 12 is over or not. If the period has not ended, the test step 114 is followed by a new transaction, that is to say by the step of defining 98 of the amount to be received. On the other hand, if the period is over, the test step 1 14 is followed by a new calculation step 1 12.
- the electronic control device knows the location 50 and the value of each piece, it can know the number of pieces of each value that are present in the store 28. For each new piece to be stored in the store
- the collection step 1 10 comprises a step 1 16 for determining whether the part must be stored in the store 28 or in the trunk 34.
- This determination step 1 16 consists in comparing the number of parts present in the store 28 and which have the same value as the new part, with the maximum number of parts of the same value capable of being stored in the store which was determined during the calculation step 1 12.
- step of determination 1 16 is followed by a step 1 18 of storing the part in the magazine 28, otherwise, the determination step 1 16 is followed by a step 120 of storing the part in the trunk 34.
- each location 50 is able to receive a coin of any value.
- the empty location 50 which receives the new part is any location 50 of the store, such as for example location 50 of the reserve 32 located closest to the pre-box 32s and which is not fully filled .
- the empty location 50 which receives the coin is determined according to the value of the coin, for example in order to group the coins of the same value to facilitate the maintenance of the coin mechanism 20.
- the latches 76 of the pre-box 32s and those of the reserves 32 other than that comprising the slot 50 which will receive the part are first moved to their first position, while the lock of the reserve 32 comprising the location 50 which will receive the part, is moved to its second position. Then, the charger 42 which has this location 50 is rotated until the location 50 is located in the first channel 72.
- the loader 42 of the pre-box 32s is rotated so that the part is in the first channel 72, thus releasing the part which thus falls into the location 50. Finally, the loader 42 of the reserve which has just received the part is rotated to return to its initial position, and all the latches 76 are moved to their initial position. Storage step 18 of the part in the store
- step 122 for storing the location 50 which has just received the coin and the value of this coin, so that it is possible to know either, for each location 50, the value of the coin it contains, or alternatively, for each coin value, which locations contain a coin of that value.
- the step 120 for storing the part in the trunk 34 consists in transferring the part from the pre-crate 32s to the trunk 34. For this, all the locks 76 of the pre-crate 32s and of the reserves 32 are moved towards their first position, thus fully opening the first channel 72 which opens into the trunk 34. Then, the pre-crate loader is rotated so that the part is in the first channel 72. This channel being free, the part falls directly in the trunk 34.
- This collection step 110 is repeated as many times as there are coins in the pre-box 32 s, so as to empty it entirely.
- the maximum numbers of coins of each value calculated during the calculation step 1 12 are used during the change of money step 108.
- the step of returning money 108 is illustrated in FIG. 7, and it includes a first step 124 of calculating the amount to be returned, which consists in subtracting the amount to be received from the amount entered by the user. If the amount to be returned is zero, there will be no money to be returned to the user, the rendering step 108 is then completed. Otherwise, the step of calculating 124 of the sum to be returned is followed by a step of determining 126 of the distribution in coins to be returned, that is to say coins to be transferred from the magazine 28 to the bowl 26.
- the electronic control device uses the maximum numbers of pieces of each value determined during the step of calculation 1 12, and the number of coins of each value in store 28.
- the parts to be returned are preferably determined so as to give priority to those whose number inside the magazine 28 is close to the maximum number of parts determined during the calculation step 1 12.
- the coins to be returned are determined so as to give priority to the coins of lower value. If there are not enough coins of this value, these are coins of the higher value which will then be given priority.
- the rendering step consists of transferring the part or parts determined during the determination step 126 from the magazine 28 to the bowl 26, and this transfer takes place piece by piece.
- the lock 76 of the cassette 44 which contains the part is moved to its second position so as to close the two channels 72, 74.
- the loader 42 which contains the part to be transferred is rotated until the part is in the second channel 74, the associated latch 76 then being moved to its third position so as to release the part which falls into the bowl 26, then it is again moved to its second position so that the magazine 42 can return to its initial position.
- the lock 76 of the pre-crate 32s is then moved to its first position.
- the location 50 which contained the part which has just been returned is memorized as being again an empty location 50 capable of receiving a possible new part inserted by a user.
- the management method comprises a step of loading the magazine 28 with pieces (not shown) which consists of filling all the locations of the magazine so that it contains the maximum number of pieces of each value calculated during calculation step 1 12.
- This loading step is periodic and its period is longer than the period of the calculation step 1 12. Since the method aims to space the reloads of the magazine 28, in this case the reloading step can be determined by the electronic control device so that reloading takes place when the number of pieces of a value reaches a predetermined minimum value. Reloading the store then consists of introducing new parts, the number of these new parts being determined from the maximum numbers of pieces of each value determined during the calculation step 1 12.
- the electronic control device needs to know the location 50 and the value of each new part. Thus, it is not possible to manually insert a coin without memorizing the location 50 in which it is stored and its value. Thus, loading is carried out by introducing the new pieces one by one through the slot 22, the selector then recognizes the value of the piece which is then directly directed to an empty space 50 of a reserve 32, without being stored in the pre-box 32s, and the location 50 and the value of the coin are then memorized.
- the coin mechanism 20 can display the coin values which are to be loaded, for example by means of the indicators or other display means of the dispenser.
- the coin mechanism 20 can receive coins of 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, and 0.50 fiduciary units (UF), and its capacity is 100 coins.
- the object of the transaction has a value of 8 UF.
- the 20 UF coins are the coins of maximum value, so a rendering cannot include a coin of this value. This is why, it proves useless to store pieces of this value in the magazine 28, the maximum number of pieces of 20 UF is then zero.
- the coins of 10 and 5 UF are the most important coins, and which are received most often thus, there is little probability that a rendering includes a coin of these values. This is why the maximum number of pieces of these values is low, it is for example four for each value. This maximum number for pieces of 10 and 5 UF will preferably be constant
- 2 UF coins are coins that are returned as often as received.
- the maximum number of pieces of this value is then determined during the calculation step 1 12 so that there is no lack of pieces of 2 UF.
- the 1 and 0.50 UF coins are the coins that are received less often and more often returned. Therefore, the maximum number of pieces of these values is not limited.
- the user inserts a 10 UF coin into the slot 22.
- the sum to be returned is then 2 UF, which can be obtained from coins of 2, 1, and 0.50 UF.
- the coin mechanism will give priority to coins of the lowest value, that is to say coins of 0.50 UF, here four in number. If it does not contain enough 0.50 UF coins, it will return one 1 UF coin and two 0.50 UF coins. Thus, it will return only a few 2 UF coins.
- the received part will be stored in one of the reserves 32 if less than two 10 UF parts are already present in the different reserves 32, otherwise, the part will be stored in the trunk.
- step 98 of defining the amount to be received may be preceded by the reception step 100.
- the definition of the amount to be received is then the validation of the transaction.
- Such a method uses the fact that no location 50 of the reserves 32 is dedicated to a determined coin value. It is thus possible to have different maximum numbers of coins for certain coin values.
- Such a method allows the management of the storage of the coins received and coins reduced to the different users in order to space out the replenishment of coins, or even, if conditions allow, to suppress replenishments or recharges and therefore to make the coin mechanism autonomous.
- This can be particularly advantageous for payment devices, for example for parking spaces, which moreover do not need to be restocked with goods and which require little human intervention.
- the invention is not limited to the storage of coins of fiduciary value, but it is also applicable to similar objects such as, for example, tokens, in particular games.
