Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for sorting chips on gaming tables, which is arranged below the gaming table and provides the sorted chips in stacks for removal by the croupier.
- a device for removing marks lying on a roulette table is known through corresponding openings in the table top with an underlying conveyor.
- Sorting machines are also known which separate tokens of the same size with seven different colors below the table and prepare the tokens in sloping shelves for removal by the croupier.
- the area of use of the known machine is limited and the provision in inclined storage has not proven to be favorable.
- the invention has set itself the goal of creating a device of the type mentioned at the outset which does not have the disadvantages of the known device and in particular sorts chips of different sizes and stores them in vertical stacks.
- a continuous conveyor rotating in a horizontal plane with vertically movable receiving plates is provided for the chips thrown in via an insertion opening and in the direction of movement of the endless conveyor a device for moving the chips into a horizontal position, then a color recognition and reading head and at it a plurality of chip cylinders is then arranged, each of which is assigned to a predetermined type of chip, the color recognition and reading head controlling lifting and guiding elements which lift and guide a chip into the associated chip cylinder, and a lifter which is guided in each chip cylinder When a predetermined number of chips are reached, they are placed in a vertical stack above the table.
- the endless conveyor is advantageously designed as a plastic link chain and the receiving plates are attached to lifting plungers which are mounted on the chain so that they can move vertically and whose lower part is used to interact with a ramp, cam or the like controlled by the color recognition and reading head. is trained.
- Such a device has a silent mechanical drive and there are also no vibrations which have a detrimental effect on the roulette wheel.
- the chip is fed into the associated chip cylinder in that each chip cylinder is assigned a fixed scraper which lies above the path of movement of the chips when the receiving plate is not raised and in the path of the chips when the receiving plate is raised.
- the receiving plate expediently has a rolling edge that presses the chip along the scraper.
- the chip cylinder has at least two, preferably four bars which are radially movable relative to one another and the movement of the bars relative to one another is controlled as a function of a predetermined number of chips in the chip cylinder. This makes it possible to insert chips into the chip cylinder, which have a smaller diameter than the chip cylinder, by moving the bars in order to lift them after the centering process as a closed stack on the table.
- An embodiment in which only one pneumatic cylinder is required for centering and lifting the stack is characterized in that the lifter guided in the chip cylinder and actuated by a pneumatic cylinder has a part provided with a half-notch and a part which complements the notch under the action a spring force pushing it upward, furthermore the mutually movable beams are provided with lugs which can be snapped into the notch, the spring-loaded notch part being movable between a position below the lugs and a position above the lugs.
- the color detection and reading head expediently has several, preferably three, CCD sensors, each of which is preceded by a color filter, and that the analog color signals are converted into digital values and transmitted to a microprocessor, with the chronological sequence of the measured value acquisition from the movement sequence of the chain is derived.
- the mechanical structure of the color detection and reading head therefore does not have to be adjusted mechanically.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic overall view of a device according to the invention
- 2 shows the lifting and guide elements in the raised state
- 3 the lifting and guiding elements in the lowered state
- 4 shows a plan view of FIG. 2
- 5 to 7 a chip cylinder in different working positions
- FIG. 8 a schematic illustration of the color recognition and reading head.
- the device according to the invention is arranged below a roulette table 1 indicated in outline, which is provided with a roulette wheel 2.
- a roulette table 1 indicated in outline, which is provided with a roulette wheel 2.
- table 1 3 There is an opening in table 1 3, into which the croupier simply drops all chips and tokens of various sizes to be sorted.
- the thrown-in chips fall into a drum 4 rotatable about a vertical axis, in which they are brought into a horizontal position.
- a plastic link chain 6 guided over gears 5 or driven by them drives the drum 4.
- the plastic chain 6 carries receiving plates for the chips removed from the drum 4, which receiving plates are explained in connection with FIGS. 2 to 4.
- a color recognition and reading head 7 After the drum 4 and then, but in the returning run a plurality of chip cylinders 8, in the example twelve chip cylinders are arranged along a curve adapted to the roulette wheel 2.
- the color recognition and reading head 7 controls compressed air cylinders which act on pivotable ramps 9, the mode of operation of which can be seen from FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.
- a ramp 9 and a fixed scraper 10 are assigned to each chip cylinder 8.
- Elevating plungers 12 are mounted on the plastic link chain 6 in height-adjustable fashion in bushings 11, which carry the receiving plates 13 for the chips 14 at their upper end.
- the underside of the lifting plunger 12 is provided with a head 15 which interacts with the ramp 9.
- On the receiving plate 13, a rolling edge 16 is also arranged.
- FIG. 2A shows a variant for lifting the lifting plunger 12 together with the receiving plate 13, in which the lifting is effected by energizing an electromagnet instead of via a compressed air cylinder.
- the head 115 of the lifting plunger 12 is made of iron and instead of the ramp 17 a box profile 117 is provided which has a slot 119 at the top for the passage of the lifting plunger 12.
- One leg of the profile 117 is surrounded by a coil E which can be connected to a direct current source.
- the head 115 of the lifting plunger 12 which moves into the profile 117 in the position shown in broken lines, is lifted when the current flows through the coil E due to the electromagnetic effect, and the chip lying on the receiving plate, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS of the scraper 10.
- This embodiment has the advantage that the ram 12 is raised without contact and without noise.
- FIG. 5 shows the state corresponding to FIGS. 2 and 4 in connection with the chip cylinder 8.
- Each chip cylinder has four mutually movable beams 18 and a lifter 19 actuated by a pneumatic cylinder.
- This lifter has a part 20 provided with a half-notch.
- a part 22 complementing the notch 21 is displaceably mounted in the chip cylinder 8 and is under the action of springs 23 urging it upward.
- the bars 18 are provided with projections 24 which can snap into the notch 21.
- the lifter 19 In the state shown in Figure 5, the lifter 19 is in its lowermost position, the part 22 and thus the notch 21 are accordingly shifted downwards.
- the lugs 24 are pressed outwards by the part 20 and the bars 18 are accordingly also in their outer position.
- the chips 14 inserted into the chip cylinder 8 when the ramp 9 is raised by the scraper 10 fall onto the lifter 19, with a more or less non-centered position depending on the diameter of the chips.
- a predetermined number of chips in the chip cylinder 8 e.g. twenty pieces, is lifted by the pneumatic cylinder 19 into the position shown in Fig.6, in which the lugs 24 snap into the complete notch 21.
- the bars 18 move towards each other and the chips in the stack are centered.
- the chips are lifted through openings 25 onto the table 1, on the other hand, the springs 23 press the part 22 into its upper position, so that the lugs 24 and thus the wall parts 18 are pushed outwards.
- the sector-shaped flaps 26 partially closing the openings 25 close when the lifter 19 moves back and hold the chip stack in a vertical position. No chip is inserted into the corresponding chip cylinder either during the centering process (FIG. 6) or during the lifting and lowering process of the lifter 19 (FIG. 7).
- the color recognition and reading head 7 has a light source 27 which illuminates the chip 14 which is moving past at an angle of approximately 45 °.
- the image of the chip 14 is transmitted line by line to three CCD sensors 32, 33 and 34 via a deflection mirror 28 and filters 29, 30 and 31.
- the filter 29 is a reflection filter red
- the filter 30 is a reflection filter green
- the filter 31 is a pass filter blue.
- a separate evaluation of the colors red, green and blue is thus possible.
- the analog color signals are converted into digital values of 0..255 by an 8 bit AD converter.
- the chip is moving at a constant speed of 0.2 m / min. An evaluation is transmitted to the electronics every 5 msec. This results in an electronic image of the chip with a resolution of 200x50 points.
- a microprocessor uses these digital values to determine the color, size and appearance of the chip. By comparison with the stored chip data, it is determined which chip cylinder 8 must be used for the recognized chip. A mechanical adjustment of the optics is not necessary, since the chronological sequence of the measured value acquisition is derived from the sequence of movements of the chain. The three separate individual images can then be evaluated separately by the microprocessor.
- the device according to the invention is also able to sort chips and tokens of different sizes and colors. All ergonomic requirements from the croupier's point of view and the safety of the game are also met. If the electronic control fails, the chips or tokens cannot be damaged. The entire arrangement can also be built up mirror-inverted, which enables operation on left and right roulette tables.
