Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coin store with a standing stacking container for superimposed coins and to a self-cashing machine with one or more such coin stores.
  • Stacking containers of this type are known as vertical stacking tubes for coins.
  • the coins are stacked in these on the lower, horizontal stacking tube floor.
  • a slide can be moved on the stacked tube base, from which the bottom coin can be pushed out through a slot in the tube shell.
  • the known stacking tubes are only suitable for coins of the same dimensions (diameter and thickness) and are prone to failure both when stacking and when dispensing stacked coins. It is inevitable that a coin that has fallen into the stacking tube for stacking will occasionally get stuck in the stacking tube in a more or less steep position, thereby preventing proper continuation of the stacking process. If the coin is on the stacking tube floor, it can at best get into the correct, lying position by the next slide feed.
  • the invention seeks to remedy this.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a coin store of the type anqeqebenen in the preamble of claim 1, in which coins of different diameters can be stacked on top of one another in the desired position, and from which the stacked coins, even if they are crooked, dirty or of different thicknesses, they are output without any problems.
  • this solution also achieves that the coin entry and coin dispensing points of the coin store are at the same height, that the last inserted or last inserted coins are dispensed when the coin is dispensed, and that the coin store is even self-cleaning by foreign objects getting into it, but also exceptionally, coins that are not properly lying or even jammed are ejected in the same way when the stack carrier is lifted, as are properly stacked coins.
  • the self-cashing machine has a guide specially adapted to the coin store for the coins to be stored and for the coins issued by the coin store and those not to be stored by the coin store. On this coin guide, foreign bodies are excreted before reaching the coin store, so that the coin feed cannot be improperly blocked.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention can essentially be seen first of all in that the coins are stacked in an inclined position. Each coin to be stacked slides on the inclined surface of the stack carrier or the last stacked coin until its deepest peripheral part abuts the wall of the stacking container.
  • the clear cross-section of the stacking container can be dimensioned so much larger than the circular area of the coins that a coin cannot get stuck in the stacking container even under unfavorable circumstances. Nevertheless, the coins are stacked on top of each other in order, because they all slide downwards as far as possible. This also applies to coins of different diameters, so that even those are flawless can be stacked on top of each other in the same stacking container if the smallest diameter is sufficiently larger than half of the largest.
  • the stack is lifted carrier issue coins, so slide thick, thin, curved or dirty coins and also foreign bodies on the upper edge of Sta p Elbe boders reduced.
  • its drive device requires very little energy if the stack carrier is supported by an appropriately dimensioned and preloaded spring.
  • a coin detector arranged directly under the upper edge of the stacking container and a control device for the drive device of the stacking carrier, it can be achieved that the upper surface of the uppermost, stacked coin regardless of its thickness (or, when the stacking container is empty, the upper surface of the stacking carrier) in the plane or is so little below the level of the upper edge of the stacking container that each coin supplied covers practically no drop in the stacking container.
  • a reliable supply of coins to the stacking container is achieved by the coins to be stacked rolling on a slope with a slope and thereby sliding on an inclined guide wall which has an opening arranged next to the upper edge of the stacking container, through which each coin to be stacked contacts the uppermost stacked coin ( or the upper stack support surface).
  • the coin store or the self-cashing machine with one or more such coin stores is characterized by the ability to stack coins of different diameters and thicknesses together, to avoid malfunctions, for example caused by foreign objects or crooked coins, or to eliminate them itself in its normal operating processes, and get by with little drive energy, as well as a simple, inexpensive Construction from, the machine can be carried out with a low overall height.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 show an assembly of a self-cashing machine which, in its basic structure, consists of stacking containers 1 open at the top for coins 2, 3 lying one above the other, only one of which is shown, and a feed device for the coins 4, 45 to be stacked there is a guide wall 5 with a roller track 30 formed on a guide rail 6 for the coins 4 to be stacked, which fall through an opening 7 of the guide wall 5 into the stacking container 1.
  • the cavity 9 of the stacking container 1 is formed by a bore in a plastic block 10 (FIG. 2), but its cross section is not necessarily circular.
  • the stacking container 1 is arranged obliquely, inclined counterclockwise in FIG. 1 by the angle alpha to the vertical.
  • a plastic piston 11 which forms a stack carrier supporting the stacked coins 2, 3, is slidably mounted and secured against rotation in a manner not shown.
  • a drive device 12 for the piston 11 has a reversible geared motor 13 which is controlled by a control device 14 and drives a gearwheel 16 which engages in a part of the piston rod 17 which is designed as a toothed rack.
  • This angle gamma is dimensioned such that in the stacking container 1 each coin slides down on the upper piston surface 18 or on the uppermost one of the already stacked coins until it hits the inner surface of the stacking container 1 in its lowest possible position.
  • a coin raised by lifting the piston 11 over the upper end face 19 of the stacking container 1 then slides down on the coin lying below it or on the upper piston end face 18 and over the stacking container edge part 20.
  • the piston 11 is supported by a stationary spring 21, which is dimensioned such that its spring force increases by the amount by which the weight of a stacked coin 2, 3 acts on the piston 11 in the direction of its displacement when the piston 11 rotates the distance corresponding to the thickness of the coin is shifted downwards or decreases when it is shifted upwards by this distance.
  • the bias of the spring 21 is set so that in a central position of the piston 11, the spring force opposite is equal to the force with which the weight of the piston 11, the piston rod 17 and the coins 2, 3 supported by the piston 11 in the direction of displacement of the piston 11 acts.
  • the forces with which the weights mentioned act in the direction of displacement of the piston 11 are those in the direction of displacement lying components of gravity.
  • the dimensioned and preloaded spring 21 ensures that the gear motor 13 for lifting the piston 11 with the coins 2, 3 stacked on it practically only has to overcome the frictional forces that occur, regardless of the number of stacked coins 2, 3.
  • For stacking coins of different sizes can be assumed in the design of the spring 21 and the bias voltage from the average values of the M ü n ew zg ch i t s and the coin thickness.
  • the upper end face 19 of the stacking container 1 or plastic block 10 is parallel to the upper surface 18 of the piston 11.
  • the part of the end face 19 which is higher as a result of its inclination is provided with a recess 24, the bottom surface 25 of which is parallel to the upper piston surface 18 and away from the stacking container cavity 9 extends to the lower horizontal edge 27 of the opening 7 of the guide wall 5 for coins 4 to be stacked, which is arranged directly next to the stacking container 1 and inclined in the same direction as this.
  • the guide rail 6 is arranged with a slope, which supports the coins 4, which are supported laterally on the guide wall 5, at a distance from the lower edge 27 of the opening 7 that is smaller than half the coin diameter.
  • the inclination of the guide wall 5 and the slope of the guide rail 6 are dimensioned such that the coins 4 to be stacked roll in the guide rail 6 and thereby slide on the guide wall 5, so that a coin which is no longer supported laterally in the region of the opening 27 , shown in phantom in FIG. 1, about the lower edge 27 of the opening 7 tilts and the in Münzsta p el 2, 3 uppermost coin 3 falls, optionally after a short slide on the case acting as a guide surface bottom surface 25 of the recess 24.
  • the Tilting is done by a lateral play of the coins 4 in the guide rail 6, which has a lateral guide part 29 which rises above the lower edge 27 of the opening 7.
  • the guide rail can have a slope of 20 °, for example.
  • the rear edge 31 of the opening 7 in the running direction of the coins 4 rolling on the guide rail 6 is rounded to match the coins 4.
  • a coin 4 which is to tip over the lower edge 27 of the opening 7, is simultaneously released on a larger edge part and prevents a horizontal pivoting of the coin 4, after which it is no longer uniform at the lower edge 27 of the opening. nung 7 and would no longer tip properly around it.
  • the upper edge of the opening 7 is straight and runs at a distance which is larger than the coin diameter by a tolerance amount, parallel to the surface 30 of the guide rail 6 on which the coins 4 roll.
  • a plate 32 which is sunk on the guide surface of the guide wall 5 and is provided with elongated holes 33, with which it hangs upwardly on pins 34, which are fixed in the guide wall 5.
  • This known plate 32 prevents a coin, the area dimension of which in one direction exceeds the nominal diameter, from jamming in the opening.
  • an inductive probe 35 serving as a coin detector is sunk on the side of the inner surface of the stacking container 1 facing away from the guide wall 5.
  • the probe 35 is connected to the control device 14 which, when stacking coins, the geared motor 13 Lowering the piston 11 drives as long as the probe 35 responds to a coin.
  • the probe 35 is arranged so that it no longer responds when the top surface of the uppermost, stacked coin 3 lies in or just below the plane of the bottom surface 25 of the recess 24.
  • a limit switch (not shown), connected to the control device 14, is provided, by means of which the direction of rotation of the geared motor 13 is reversed when the upper surface 18 of the piston 11 is at the level of the upper end face 19 of the stacking container 1 exceeds.
  • the probe 35 responds to a piece of metal 36 inserted into the piston 11, whereupon the geared motor 13 is switched off, similarly to the stacking of coins, when the upper piston surface 18 is in or just below the plane of the bottom surface 25 of the Well 24 lies.
  • a probe 37 responds to the metal piece 36 in the piston 11 in order to trigger the processes required in this state.
  • An inductive probe 39 is arranged on the edge part 20 adjoining the lowest point of the inclined, upper end face 19 of the stacking container 1, which responds individually to the coins issued by the stacking container 1 and is connected to the control device 14 in order to move the piston 11 upward if desired to stop when one or a certain number of coins are issued.
  • the coins issued are routed in a manner known per se to a coin dispenser or into a cassette, depending on the position of a controllable coin not shown, for example in a coin-operated machine.
  • the edge part 20 is less inclined than the upper stacking container end face 19 parallel to the upper piston surface 18 it is sufficient that the probe 39 also responds reliably when a coin to be issued only begins to slide when the surface of the coin or piston 11 lying beneath it has already been raised above the upper end face 19 of the stacking container.
  • a cover 41 has the effect that coins which, exceptionally, do not tip sufficiently precisely around the lower edge 27 of the opening 7 and therefore bounce back in the recess 24 or from the uppermost stacked coin 3 reach the stacking tube 1.
  • the cover 41 is connected by a hinge 42 with the guide wall 5 and can leave a gap either in the rest position can be output through the coin, or it may connect when stacking coins directly on the upper end face 19 of the stacking 'the container 1 and to be raised for coin issuance.
  • a separate movement device controlled by the control device 14 a friction rod moved together with the piston 11 together with a stop limiting the lifting of the cover 41, or the mechanism shown in FIG. 1 a with the two-armed angle lever 47, 48, which on the Cover 41a is mounted.
  • the lever arm 47 In the rest position shown, the lever arm 47 is vertical and is prevented from moving upwards by a stop 49.
  • the other arm 48 is supported on the cover 41a and reaches with a finger 50 into the stacking container cavity 9 in such a way that it does not prevent the stacking of coins.
  • the stack carrier 11 When the stack carrier 11 is lifted, the uppermost 3 of the stacked coins first touches the finger 50.
  • the lever 47, 48 is pivoted, its arm 47 and thus also the cover 41a is no longer prevented from moving upward.
  • the uppermost coin 3 then abuts the cover 41a. This is raised until the uppermost coin (3) on the coin below it and over the edge of the stacking container 20 slides down. It has been shown that the cover 41a practically does not prevent the coin from sliding down with a light design. Because it carries out a pendulum motion, the force with which it tries to pivot into its rest position is low.
  • the guide wall 5 is provided with a second opening 44, which corresponds to the opening 7 but is dimensioned for smaller coins, and which belongs to a stacking container, not shown, which is designed and equipped in accordance with the stacking container 1, but is dimensioned for the smaller coins .
  • a stacking container not shown, which is designed and equipped in accordance with the stacking container 1, but is dimensioned for the smaller coins .
  • the smallest of the coins to be stacked in the stacking container 1, one designated 45 is supported by the guide wall 5 above its upper edge as it passes this opening 44, so that it does not pass through this opening 44 can fall into the other stacking container, not shown.
  • the dimensioning rules given in the description apply when coins of different diameters are to be stacked, analogously for the largest or smallest diameter of these coins.
  • the outside rectangular stacking container 1 with a cylindrical stacking space 9 is easy to manufacture and easier to assemble than a stacking tube.
  • the cross-section of the stacking space is not necessarily circular, but can also have another shape which is suitable for supporting the coins in their inclined position at two opposing locations.
  • the stacking container could also stand vertically instead of at an angle, and when the stacking container is at an angle, the upper surface of the piston can also be perpendicular to its direction of displacement if it leads to a sufficiently steep inclination of the stacked coins.
  • an inclination of the upper piston surface that is sufficient even for poorly sliding coins is achieved in a structurally simple manner with a lower inclination of the stacking container 1.
  • This lower incline ensures that the stacked coins reliably follow a downward movement of the piston. This also applies analogously to the second embodiment described below.
  • the assembly of a self-cashing machine shown in FIGS. 4 to 9 and the variant according to FIG. 10 consists in its basic structure of an inclined stacking container 50 for coins 2, 3 and a coin feeder which leads the coins to be stacked to the stacking container opening 51 and has a runway 52 with a slope and a steep guide surface 53 which slides laterally on the rolling coins.
  • the stacking container 50 corresponds to the stacking container 1 from FIG. 1, the corresponding parts being designated with the same reference numbers 2, 3, 9, 11 to 13, 16 to 18 and 21.
  • the stacking container 50 is inclined at an acute angle delta with respect to the vertical a.
  • the upper end face 18 of the piston 11 forming the stack carrier is inclined with respect to the vertical a in the direction opposite to the inclination of the stack container 50 by an likewise acute angle epsilon.

  • Part of the side of this wall 57 facing away from the stacking container 50 forms the guide surface 53 (FIGS. 6, 8 and 9), and on this side of the wall 57 the runway 52 is formed by a projecting step 58 (FIG. 8).
  • the inclination of the stacking container 50, the inclination of the upper piston end face 18 and the guide surface 53 and the gradient of the runway 52 are dimensioned such that the coins to be stacked roll on the runway 52 and thereby slide on the guide surface 53, and that in the stacking container 50
  • the piston 11 When the piston 11 is lowered, the stacked coins follow it with as little friction as possible, and that a coin pushed out by lifting the piston 17 across the runway 52 on the coin stacked beneath it or on the upper piston face 18 and on the parallel to the guide surface, the step 58 continues downward surface 60 of the wall 57.
  • the runway 52 has an initial section adjoining the falling path 62 (FIG. 6), with an incline which serves to decelerate the coins and decreases steeply in the direction of travel 63.

  • the switch 78 clears a fall path on the inclined plane 60, 92.
  • the runway 91, the wall 57 (guide surface 68), the cover 93 and a bar 98 form a covered channel 99 for coins to be returned.
  • the entrance of this coin return channel 99 is closed in the second (drawn-out) position of the switch element 78 by a locking element 94 which is firmly connected to the switch element 78. It is not possible to unauthorizedly collect coins from the coin collecting container (not shown) open at the top by turning the machine upside down and shaking so that coins on the surface 68 enter the coin return channel 99 and fall out through it. This is important if the machine is detachably mounted on a wall or used in a coin-operated telephone.
  • the switch member 78 is fixedly connected to a lever 80 (FIG. 9) on which a crank rod 81 engages, the crank (crank pin 82) of which can be driven by a reversible motor 83 via a gear pair 84, 85 and a slip clutch (not shown).
  • the shoulder 86 of the crank rod 81 strikes a fixed stop 87.
  • a coin toss lock is arranged on the drop path 62 of coins inserted, the locking bolt 95 of which extends through an opening 96 in the wall 57, cf. Fig. 8.
  • a cover 97 is installed at a distance of surface 53 adapted to the greatest coin thickness with play, which limits the falling path 62 of the inserted coins 100 on the side opposite surface 53, cf. 6 and 8.
  • the fall path 62 is limited, on the one hand, by a first part of the runway 52 and, on the other hand, by a lever 101 which extends obliquely downwards into the space between the walls 57 and 97 and is described in more detail below.
  • the locking bolt 95 is fastened to levers 102 which are seated on the shaft 103 of the output crank 104 of a double crank gear 104-110, the drive crank 105 of which is firmly connected to the switch element 78 (FIGS. 6 and 8).
  • the push rod 106 of this double crank mechanism 104-110 is connected to the cranks 104 and 105 by means of pivot joints 109 and 110 which can be displaced against the force of a spring 107 or 108 when the locking bolt 95 is blocked.
  • the springs 107, 108 give way, so that the switch member 78 is off the switch Driven 80-87 can be driven in both directions even when the lock is blocked, if the (not shown) slip clutch of the point machine 80-87 is set appropriately.
  • the tensioned springs 107, 108 cannot adjust the switch element rotated in one direction or the other about the axis 79 because the strongly reduced gear transmission 84/85 is self-locking.
  • the blocking of the locking bar 95 can be caused by a coin passing the opening 96 when it is advanced or stopped by a foreign body previously pushed into the coin slot or a foreign body pushed into the coin slot.
  • the coin guide 52/53 has the advantage that foreign bodies do not find a hold on the steep guide surface 53 and on the (greatest) coin thickness, which is adapted to the (greatest) coin thickness and therefore narrow, the rolling track 52, but fall down over the step 58 and on the wall surface 60, the 52/53 coin guide is therefore self-cleaning. Faults caused by foreign bodies stuck between walls 57 and 97 are already remedied when a coin is inserted or pushed into the slot. As soon as the foreign body is pushed under the lower edge of the wall 97, it falls on the surface 53, over the step 58 and further down on the surface 60. Should a foreign body nevertheless get into the stacking container 50, it is easily ejected when the piston 11 is lifted to empty the stacking container 50. The malfunctions mentioned are therefore only temporary, they are automatically remedied by the normal operation of the machines.
  • the lever 101 (FIG. 6) is loaded by a weight l13, which holds it against a stop 114 in the rest position shown. Its fulcrum 115 is in the center of the arcuate course of the beginning of the decreasing slope of the runway 52. The distance of the free end of the lever 101 from the runway 52 increases when the lever 101 is pivoted in the direction of coin movement 63. The largest of the coins to be stored temporarily take the lever 101 with them and are held on the runway 52 and decelerated. Smaller coins usually pass under lever 101, but are forced to follow runway 52 if necessary.
  • the functions of the lever 101 are important when a coin is inserted at a high speed, especially when it is reflected on the runway 52.
  • the runway extension 66 is formed on a component 118 which can be countersunk in the wall 57 such that its surface 119 following the runway extension 66 in the coin running direction 63 lies in the plane of the guide surface 53 of the wall 57.
  • the surface 120 of the wall 57 following this component 118 in the direction of coin movement 63 lies in this plane, on which a continuation 121 of the runway 52 is formed, which begins at the recessed position of the runway section 70.
  • the runway extension 66 acts as described above: a coin which has reached the stacking container opening 51 is braked and stopped at the runway extension 66 and can be stacked or lowered by lowering the piston 11 Lifting the piston 11 Be pushed over the runway section 70 so that it slides on the previously stacked coin or on the upper piston surface 18 and further over the surface 60 and falls into the coin collecting container, not shown.
  • the coin switches with the switch member 78 and the second runway 91 are unnecessary. However, they could also be provided, in which case three forwarding routes are available.
  • the distance between the continuation 121 of the runway 52 and the second runway 91 would have to be dimensioned so large that the part of the surface 60 extending between them is sufficient to guide the largest coins laterally. 10 can be expanded such that the continuation 121 of the runway 52 leads past several openings, each of which leads into a stacking container for coins and to which a component 118 is assigned.
