Definitions

  • the invention relates to an acceptance or return device of a coin inserted into the coin channel of a coin-operated machine, wherein a coin gate designed as a lockable pivoting flap is provided in the coin channel, in which coins hitting the pivoting flap in the released position pivot the flap and thereby pivot into one Coin acceptance channel arrive, and the coin diverter, viewed in the direction of the coins, is arranged in front of a coin checking device.
  • Such acceptance or return devices are required in coin-operated machines in order to operate in certain operating states of the machines, e.g. basic inoperability / disruptions or initiated sales or goods issue process to prevent the acceptance of coins and their supply to the coin validation facility from the outset.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a device of the type mentioned at the outset such that the coins are reliably fed to the coin acceptance channel and the subsequent coin checking device when the coin is accepted.
  • a controllable pivot lever is provided with a pin-shaped extension, the pin-shaped extension in the lever position "coin acceptance” protrudes behind the coin switch / swivel flap into the coin channel and is pivoted out of the coin channel in the lever position "coin return”.
  • the swivel lever is pivoted out of the coin channel in the "coin return" position, ie a pin-shaped attachment, the swivel flap is blocked, on the other hand it is ensured that coins not intended for acceptance cannot get into the coin acceptance channel and are sent to the coin return .
  • the swivel lever is easily mounted in the static imbalance in such a way that it tends to swivel into the "coin return" position, another advantage can be seen in the fact that the lever can be controlled with a low energy expenditure and the arrangement thus is particularly advantageous for battery-operated machines.
  • the swivel flap in the passage to the coin acceptance channel is additionally provided with a switching flag influencing an optoelectronic switch, then the correct passage of a coin can also be registered, with e.g. in the case of manipulated "thread coins” the flap cannot swivel back completely into its starting position due to the thread and the switch does not switch on / off properly.
  • a switch can be used to generate a pulse when the coin is passed, and it can be sent to the coin validator.
  • electronic, in particular battery-operated coin validators it is advantageous to switch this on by means of this pulse in order to save energy, i.e. when a coin is present. to activate.
  • the acceptance or return device shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 essentially consists of a coin channel 1, a swivel flap 2 and a controllable swivel lever 3.
  • the coin channel is preferably designed as an inclined, rectilinear channel and in the coin channel M entered on the input side 4 rolls along the track 5 and, depending on the position of the pivot lever 3, either reach the coin accepting channel 6 on the output side or the coin return channel 7.
  • the pivot lever 3 is in the position "Acceptance of coins”.
  • the pivot lever is provided at its lower end 8 with a pin-shaped projection 9 which is bent so that - seen in the direction of the coin - protrudes into the coin channel behind the swivel flap 2 acting as coin switch through a slot 10 provided in the side walls of the coin channel.
  • the swivel flap 2 is held smoothly in the upper bearing points 11 and its end 12, which is arranged at an angle, closes the entrance of the coin acceptance channel 6.
  • the swivel flap is shaped and mounted in such a way that it always pivots in the position closing the coin acceptance channel.
  • a coin M entered into the coin channel initially rolls along the track 5 until it is stopped by the shoulder 9 of the pivoting lever 3 protruding into its track.
  • the coin is then on the lower end 12 of the pivoting flap and acts on the pivoting flap, which pivots it, so that the entrance to the coin acceptance channel 6 is released and the coin can fall into it. Further coin testing devices, not shown here, then adjoin the coin acceptance channel.
  • the pivot lever 3 is in the "coin return” position.
  • the lever which is pivotable about the bearing point 13, is rotated so that the pin-shaped projection 9 is pivoted out of the coin channel.
  • a further extension 14 is formed which, in this position of the pivot lever, engages behind the pivot flap 2 in such a way that its movement is blocked and the coin acceptance channel remains closed, so that coins which roll over the pivot flap cannot open them.
  • Coins entered into the coin channel thus roll freely into the coin return channel 7, from where they are fed to a coin return opening (not shown here) of the machine.
  • the lever To control the pivot lever 3 in its two positions, two electromagnets 15, 16 are provided.
  • the lever itself is attached to the bearing point 13.
  • the bearing point is arranged with respect to the lever so that it is in static imbalance and strives to pivot gravity into the "coin return” position (see. Fig. 3).
  • the lever is preferably designed as a simple, in particular light stamped and bent part, only very small forces being required to move the lever.
  • the electromagnet 15 is provided for moving the lever into the "coin acceptance” position (FIG. 1).
  • the armature 17 of the magnet is articulated to the swivel lever and when the magnet is energized, the armature being drawn into the magnet coil, it pulls the swivel lever into the "coin acceptance” position.
  • the upper end 18 of the pivot lever 3 is step-shaped and interacts with the second electromagnet 16 or its armature 19.
  • the armature 19 is held in a freely movable manner in a guide sleeve of the magnet and, when the magnet coil is not energized, rests on the upper extension 20 of the pivot lever due to its weight (FIG. 3).
  • the arrangement of the swivel flap 2 is shown in a sectional view.
  • the pivoting flap is provided with a switching flag 22 which actuates a switch 23 when the flap is actuated / pivoted.
  • this switch is in the form of an optoelectronic light barrier, in the beam path of which the switching flag arrives when actuated.
  • the pivoting flap 2 is actuated by the weight of the coin M, which exerts a force F on the flap when it is located on the lower part 12 of the pivoting flap arranged at an angle.
  • the signal generated by the light barrier is preferably used to switch the coin validator on, for example by a so-called Switch "stand-by mode" (with extremely low power consumption) to the active operating state.
  • the coin validator switches which is generally an electronic battery operated coin validator / vending machine trades back to the "stand-by mode".
  • the side wall 24 of the coin channel is provided in the area in which the lower part 12 of the swivel flap is provided with a slit-shaped recess 25 with a height or width corresponding to the front dimensions of this part, into which the latter is immersed in the rest position of the swivel flap.
