OBJETO DE LA INVENCION OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
Aparato reciclador de monedas adaptable a cajeros y autoservicio que tiene por objeto facilitar el ingreso de monedas así como la devolución de éstas en los procesos que tienen lugar en las máquinas de autoservicio así como en los puestos de Caja de las Entidades Bancarias . Currency recycling device adaptable to ATMs and self-service that aims to facilitate the entry of coins as well as the return of these in the processes that take place in the self-service machines as well as in the Cashier positions of the Banking Entities.
CAMPO DE LA INVENCION FIELD OF THE INVENTION
El campo de la invención es el sector de la industria relativo a la fabricación de máquinas numéricas y dispositivos de ayuda a la industria de la manipulación de monedas. The field of the invention is the industry sector related to the manufacture of numerical machines and assistive devices for the coin handling industry.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hasta el momento el reciclado de monedas en las máquinas de autoservicio con volúmenes de monedas iguales o superiores a 1000 unidades ha tenido lugar mediante voluminosas soluciones que obligaban a que los terminales tuvieran gran tamaño. Este tipo de soluciones no es aplicable a los puestos de Caja de los Bancos y Cajas de Ahorros debido a su gran volumen y coste. Asimismo, los dispositivos conocidos hasta ahora incorporaban cinco o más selectores de las denominaciones (tamaño de las monedas) en su interior, lo que significaba unos aparatos de gran volumen y complejidad de diseño. So far the recycling of coins in self-service machines with coin volumes equal to or greater than 1000 units has taken place through bulky solutions that forced the terminals to be large. This type of solutions is not applicable to the positions of Caja de los Bancos y Caja de Ahorros due to its large volume and cost. Likewise, the devices known so far incorporated five or more selectors of the denominations (coin size) inside, which meant high volume devices and design complexity.
Cuantas más denominaciones mayor tamaño y complejidad tenia que tener la máquina. The more denominations the greater the size and complexity the machine had to have.
Tanto en las máquinas autoservicio como en los puestos de caja de cualquier entidad bancaria o empresa de servicios en este momento son inviables soluciones complejas y de gran volumen. Both complex and large volume solutions are not feasible in both the self-service machines and the cash points of any bank or service company.
Dentro de los antecedentes reseñables se encuentra la patente USA 6.128.402 que promueve un sistema de procesado de moneda legal automático. Específicamente comprende un cajero automático con diversos módulos incluyendo uno de clasificación y recuento de monedas así como módulos de dispensación de monedas . Within the noteworthy background is the US patent 6,128,402 that promotes an automatic legal currency processing system. Specifically, it includes an ATM with various modules including one for sorting and counting coins as well as coin dispensing modules.
Evidentemente muy lejos de lo preconizado en esta patente Obviously far from what is recommended in this patent
Otro antecedente podría ser la patente USA 4.733.765 que desvela una máquina para el manejo de billetes y monedas donde los transportadores y clasificadores para monedas y billetes están configurados en relación con un único receptor de efectivo para recibir tanto monedas como billetes a través de una abertura y es de una gran complejidad con más de diez motores de diferentes características . Another background could be US Patent 4,733,765 which discloses a machine for handling bills and coins where the conveyors and classifiers for coins and bills are configured in relation to a single cash receiver to receive both coins and bills through an opening and is of great complexity with more than ten engines of different characteristics.
También muy diferente de la invención solicitada Also very different from the requested invention
La solución que preconiza la presente invención, permite el manejo de múltiples denominaciones (8 o más) en número superior a 1000 unidades en un volumen menor en más de un 50 % de lo conocido y con una ergonomía adecuada tanto a las máquinas de autoservicio como a los citados puestos de Caja. The solution advocated by the present invention, allows the handling of multiple denominations (8 or more) in numbers greater than 1000 units in a volume smaller than more than 50% of the known and with an ergonomics suitable for both self-service machines and to the mentioned positions of Caja.
Además permite trabajar secuencialmente desde dos puntos independientes de trabajo. It also allows working sequentially from two independent work points.
Por parte del inventor no se conoce ninguna anterioridad que incorpore las disposiciones que presenta la actual invención, ni las ventajas que conlleva dicha disposición On the part of the inventor there is no known priority that incorporates the provisions presented by the present invention, nor the advantages that such provision entails.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La invención preconizada se refiere a un Aparato para el reciclaje de monedas adaptable a cajeros automáticos y autoservicio que se caracteriza por disponer de un recipiente único, depósito general, donde todas las monedas a reciclar se encuentran mezcladas y donde la selección de las monedas a dispensar entre todas las que se encuentran almacenadas identificando su denominación, se realiza durante la preparación para la dispensación. The recommended invention relates to an apparatus for the recycling of coins adaptable to ATMs and self-service characterized by having a single container, general deposit, where all the coins to be recycled are mixed and where the selection of the coins to be dispensed among all those that are stored identifying their denomination, is made during the preparation for the dispensation.
La presente invención se configura como un contenedor aproximadamente de forma cúbica en el que se alojan los siguientes elementos: The present invention is configured as an approximately cubic shaped container in which the following elements are housed:
Un depósito general, contenedor de monedas, donde se almacenan las monedas recibidas, y cuyo fondo, está constituido por una banda de transporte, movida por un motor adecuado y cuya misión es la de alimentar controladamente de monedas a una banda elevadora, movida por un motor independiente y ayudada en su función por un cilindro de rodadura y otro cilindro de retorno. La banda elevadora presenta unos resaltes para que las monedas puedan desplazarse en sentido casi vertical, y cuenta con la ayuda de una ranura de sujeción de monedas y de un desviador de segundas monedas . A general deposit, a container of coins, where the coins received are stored, and whose bottom, is constituted by a transport band, moved by a suitable motor and whose mission is to control a coin elevator to a elevator band, moved by a independent engine and helped in its function by a rolling cylinder and another return cylinder. The lifting band has projections so that the coins can move almost vertically, and it has the help of a coin-holding slot and a second coin derailleur.
La banda elevadora, mueve las monedas depositadas por el cliente hasta la rampa de rodadura donde ya separadas pasan secuencialmente a través de un sensor y a continuación pasan por delante de un solenoide desviador que envía las monedas reconocidas a un depósito temporal . Las monedas no reconocidas continúan su movimiento hacia la ventana de rechazos, de donde a través del canal de rechazos son devueltas al usuario del equipo en la bandeja de entrega. The lifting band moves the coins deposited by the customer to the rolling ramp where already separated they pass sequentially through a sensor and then pass in front of a diverter solenoid that sends the recognized coins to a temporary deposit. Unrecognized currencies continue their movement towards the rejection window, from where through the rejection channel they are returned to the user of the equipment in the delivery tray.
La coordinación de las diferentes secuencias así como el mando de los actuadores de los diversos mecanismos se lleva a cabo mediante la tarjeta electrónica de control . The coordination of the different sequences as well as the control of the actuators of the various mechanisms is carried out by means of the electronic control card.
El aparato tiene dos funciones principales, como depósito de monedas y como dispensador de monedas. El funcionamiento del aparato como depósito de monedas se caracteriza porque las monedas que se desean depositar son directamente entregadas a la banda de alimentación desde donde por medio de la banda elevadora son subidas a la rampa de rodadura, y que pasando por el solenoide repartidor son seleccionadas por un sensor si son genuinas, y desviadas a un depósito temporal donde permanecen hasta que el usuario da su aprobación al depósito en cuyo momento pasan al depósito general donde permanecen hasta una nueva operación. The device has two main functions, as a coin deposit and as a coin dispenser. The operation of the device as a deposit of coins is characterized in that the coins that are to be deposited are directly delivered to the feed belt from where by means of the lifting band they are uploaded to the rolling ramp, and passing through the distribution solenoid are selected by a sensor if they are genuine, and diverted to a temporary deposit where they remain until the user approves the deposit at which time they pass to the general deposit where they remain until a new operation.
Las monedas no seleccionadas son rechazadas a través de la puerta de rechazos y el conducto de salida de rechazos hasta la bandeja de entrega donde las retirará el cliente usuario. En el caso de que el cliente no desee aceptar la operación de depósito, se cancela la misma pasando las monedas desde el depósito temporal a la bandeja de recogida. The unselected coins are rejected through the rejection door and the rejection exit conduit to the delivery tray where the user client will withdraw them. In the event that the customer does not want to accept the deposit operation, it is canceled by passing the coins from the temporary deposit to the collection tray.
En el caso de que el aparato se utilice en la función de dispensación de monedas el funcionamiento es el siguiente: Ante la petición de entrega de monedas, la orden es procesada por la tarjeta electrónica de control (la cual pone en funcionamiento la banda alimentadora de monedas que las deposita en la banda elevadora que a su vez las va colocando secuencialmente en la rampa de rodadura de donde el sensor envía las correspondientes señales a la tarjeta electrónica que acciona adecuadamente el solenoide desviador seleccionando aquellas monedas que corresponden a la cantidad, o a la selección prefijada por el operador desde su puesto de operación mediante conexión informática (bien Red Ethernet, Bus serie, USB u otro medio de transmisión de información como IR, Bluetooth...etc . , ) , dichas monedas seleccionadas son depositadas en el depósito temporal, donde permanecen hasta que la totalidad de las monedas ordenadas son seleccionadas . In the event that the device is used in the coin dispensing function, the operation is as follows: Upon request of coin delivery, the order is processed by the electronic control card (which puts the power supply band into operation. coins that deposit them in the lifting band which in turn are sequentially placing them on the raceway where the sensor sends the corresponding signals to the electronic card that properly activates the diverter solenoid by selecting those coins that correspond to the quantity, or to the selection preset by the operator from its operating position by means of a computer connection (either Ethernet Network, Serial Bus, USB or other means of transmission of information such as IR, Bluetooth ... etc.), these selected currencies are deposited in the temporary deposit , where they remain until all the coins ordered are selected.
Las monedas no seleccionadas son devueltas durante el proceso al depósito general . Una vez completada la selección de las monedas pedidas por el sistema informático del operador o en su caso desde el control de equipo de autoservicio (por ejemplo para la devolución de un cambio) , éstas son dispensadas a la bandeja de entrega completándose así la operación. Unselected coins are returned during the process to the general deposit. Once the selection of the coins requested by the operator's computer system or, where appropriate, from the self-service equipment control (for example for the return of a change), these are dispensed to the delivery tray thus completing the operation.
En el caso de su utilización en las sucursales bancarias, el dispositivo puede encontrarse conectado a los terminales informáticos de dos operadores, pudiendo ser usado por ambos de modo secuencial . En ese supuesto, dispone de un accesorio que permite que la bandeja de entrega se duplique a ambos lados del equipo mediante el uso de un banda transportadora que efectúa la entrega en la correspondiente bandeja de entrega. In the case of its use in bank branches, the device can be connected to the computer terminals of two operators, and can be used sequentially by both. In that case, it has an accessory that allows the delivery tray to be duplicated on both sides of the equipment through the use of a conveyor belt that delivers on the corresponding delivery tray.
Con independencia de las dos funciones principales de depósito y dispensación de monedas, el elemento sensor de monedas opcionalmente puede efectuar no solo la verificación de la genuidad de las monedas seleccionables , sino además su estado de uso de acuerdo con los parámetros que sean fijados por la autoridad monetaria. Regardless of the two main functions of depositing and dispensing of coins, the coin sensing element can optionally not only verify the genuineness of the selectable coins, but also their state of use according to the parameters that are set by the monetary authority
