Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for separating Coins, their diameter and thickness within specified size ranges lie, with a coin funnel, with at least one revolving coin conveyor, its rising in the conveying direction, upwards from the coin funnel leading conveyor strand forms part of the back wall of the coin funnel and has coin receptacles for individual coins, with a dropping device for coins lying axially one above the other in the coin receptacles and with a discharge device for the isolated coins.
  • Usual separating devices for coins have one with receiving holes for the coin conveyor in the area of the rear wall of a coin funnel.
  • a device for separating coins has already been proposed (DE 28 43 859 A1), in which the conveyor disk is replaced by a coin conveyor in the form of a revolving conveyor belt is replaced, which with receiving holes for individual Coins are provided with the increasing in the conveying direction the conveyor belt along a sliding surface upwards out of the coin funnel be promoted to a discharge facility.
  • This discharge device consists of a sloping discharge channel on the inside of the Conveyor belt is provided and the conveyor strand is open so that the coins in the receiving holes of the conveyor belt by the Enter receiving holes in the discharge channel and for further treatment be dissipated. Since the thickness of the conveyor belt exceeds the coin thickness, can in the individual receiving holes, the cross section of only the Inclusion of one coin allows two coins to be axially stacked one above the other Coin funnels are promoted.
  • a dropping device for coins one above the other in the receiving holes radial ejection fingers provided roller provided in synchronism with the Conveyor belt is driven and with the ejection fingers from the inside of the conveyor belt engages in the receiving holes so that the coins of the sliding surface receiving the conveyor run of the conveyor belt so far is raised that a possibly taken second coin over the Edge of the receiving opening slipped and falls back into the coin funnel.
  • a disadvantage of this known device for separating coins is however, that the safe filling of the receiving holes of the conveyor belt with coins from the coin funnel a certain transfer position of the coins requires what only through an elaborate training of the coin funnel can be guaranteed.
  • the isolated coins can hardly with the necessary accuracy within the receiving holes so be aligned that a simple detection of the coin dimensions during the discharge of the separated coins from the coin funnel becomes possible.
  • the known device must be prone to failure be viewed because the holes tend to be dirty and in foreign objects entering the coin hopper undetected via the conveyor belt can be promoted.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a device for Separate coins of the type described in such a way that the individual coins from the coin funnel safely through the coin conveyor detected and centered so that the coin dimensions are sufficiently accurate can be determined from the coin funnel during their promotion.
  • advantageous prerequisites for effective foreign body detection are intended be created.
  • the invention solves this problem in that the coin conveyor from two parallel ones in the area of the conveyor run on both sides of a sliding bridge for the coins running, jointly driven, endless traction means and the coin receptacles from each other in pairs assigned to the traction means provided drive pins exist, which over the slide bar by a protruding the largest coin thickness exceeding dimension, and that the Sliding bar carries a starting ramp, the height of which is less than the protrusion of the driving pins over the slide, but larger than that Difference from the projection of the driving pins and the smallest specified Coin thickness is.
  • the coin conveyor has two sliding sides on both sides for the Coins running parallel traction means is formed, which are driven together be and with driver pins assigned in pairs are provided, which protrude accordingly over the sliding bridge is a safe one Carrying individual coins with the driver pins in the area of the coin funnel given, the sliding friction between the coins and the Sliding bar a safe deposit of the coins on the driver pins of each pair of driver pins with the consequence that the coins between the pairs arranged driver pins exactly centered along the slide bar be moved.
  • the good grip of the coins with the driver pins requires an excess length of these pins in relation to the coin thickness what the Carrying of two axially adjacent coins supported.
  • the ramp can be set to the largest specified coin diameter and the largest predetermined coin thickness matched coin passage in the conveying direction, on which the cross section of the Strike foreign objects exceeding the passage opening, resulting in a Control intervention can be exploited to avoid damage, as long as the foreign body is not removed.
  • the promotion of coins along the sliding bridge in general ensures that when you take one not between two driver pins coin held on the slide by a subsequent between two driving pins, the incorrectly conveyed coin Coin along the circumference of the coin sliding in front of it can be turned away from the slide and falls back into the coin funnel such misfeed of coins can be detected by the ramp a sensor set to the largest specified coin diameter for the coin dimensions measured in the conveying direction. If this sensor responds, the dimension of the material to be conveyed exceeds Longitudinal conveyance the largest predetermined coin diameter, like this is the case when conveying two radially adjacent coins. about An ejector provided in the sliding bridge can be the faulty one Coin to be dropped from the slide.
  • the risk of bridging in the coin funnel can be more simple To be met in such a way that the coin funnel a vibrating device is assigned, which is switched on at least when needed.
  • To this Purpose can be a sensor in the immediate connection to the coin funnel Area of the slide bar to be arranged, which takes a coin grasped by each pair of driving pins and in the case of empty conveyance the Briefly switches on the vibrator.
  • the formation of the coin receivers' coin receivers in the form of Driving pins make the device less susceptible to interference due to contamination. Maintenance is still necessary, for example to remove it of foreign objects from the area of the conveyor. So that the funding strand the coin conveyor is easily accessible for maintenance work, the Coin conveyor rotatably mounted in a frame about an upper pivot axis and from a working position to a maintenance position pivoted away from the coin funnel be pivoted.
  • the illustrated device for separating coins 1 has Frame 2 in which, for example, two coin conveyors 3 in a housing 4 are stored, around an upper pivot axis 5 from the in full lines drawn in, swung out maintenance position in the dash-dotted line indicated, swung-in working position can be pivoted in the the housing 4 is locked to the frame 2.
  • Each coin conveyor 3 has two deflection rollers 6 designed as gear wheels, around the two parallel ones Traction means 7 are endless. Between the funding run of these two traction devices 7, which are preferably designed as a toothed belt, runs a sliding web 8 for the coins 1, compared to the funding dreams of the traction means 7 are slightly set back.
  • the traction means 7 carry each other in pairs assigned driver pins 9, which protrude beyond the slide 8, namely by an amount that exceeds the largest specified coin thickness.
  • the coins 1 can therefore be assigned to each other on both sides of the sliding web 8
  • Driver pins 9 detected and along the rising in the conveying direction Slider 8 are moved.
  • A is used to drive the coin conveyor 3 Motor 10, the lower pulley 6 for the traction means 7 via a belt drive 11 drives.
  • the frame 2 carries a coin funnel 12, the rear wall 13 through the frame and in the area of the rear wall 13 by at least one coin conveyor 3 is formed, which through a recess 14 in the coin funnel 12th protrudes, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the coin hopper 12 carried by the frame 2 is provided with a vibrating device 15. This vibrator 15 is made for example from two vibrating magnets belonging to the two coin conveyors 3, the protruding into the coin funnel 2, loaded by return springs Actuate slider 16 so that the slider 16 of the coin stick can be shaken within the coin funnel 12 if necessary to form bridges to prevent.
  • a storage container is used to fill the coin funnel 12 17, from which the coins 1 depending on the respective level of the coin hopper 12 conveyed out by means of a conveyor 18 become.
  • the coins 1 picked up by the coin funnel 12 are replaced by the Driver pins 9 of the coin conveyor 3 are detected and along the sliding webs 8 the coin funnel 12 discharged upwards.
  • a provided in the sliding web 8 Sensor 19 which responds when there is no pair of driver pins If the coin is withdrawn, the regular withdrawal of coins 1 from the coin funnel 12 through the successive pairs of driver pins supervised.
  • the vibrating device 15 can thus be acted upon the slipping of the coins to be separated 1 to support.
  • the gripped by the driver pins 9 arranged in pairs Coins 1 are fed to a dropping device which is faulty on the separated coin 1 axially lying coin 1 back into the coin funnel 12 promotes.
  • This dropping device consists of a starting ramp 20, as in 4 is shown in more detail.
  • the ramp 20 has a height that smaller than the protrusion of the driving pins 9 above the slide 8, but greater than the difference from this supernatant and the smallest given Coin thickness is so that each resting on a single coin 1 Coin is raised along the ramp 20 via the driver pins 9 and falls back into the coin funnel 12.
  • An incorrect delivery of coins 1 is also given if a coin 1 held between two driver pins 9 another coin is pushed along the slide bar 8 in front of it.
  • a sensor 21 is provided, which extends the Coins 1 detected in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor and responds when the detected Longitudinal dimension exceeds the specified largest coin diameter. Via the sensor 21, a subsequent one provided in the sliding web 8 can be used Ejector 22 are applied to the incorrectly fed coin 1 throws from the slide bar 8 back into the coin funnel 12, as is shown in the right coin conveyor 3 can be seen in FIG. 2.
  • Damage to the coin detection devices assigned to the coin conveyors 3 23 can effect this coin recognition devices 23 a coin passage 24 upstream, the opening cross section of the largest predetermined coin diameter and the largest coin thickness, so that all objects exceeding these dimensions pass through this coin 24 strike and result in a tax intervention that the Motor 10 for the coin conveyor 3 switches off, so that due to a fault message the foreign body can be removed when the coin conveyor 3 over the housing 4 can be swung out into the maintenance position.
  • the coin conveyor 3 before swiveling it out for emptying predefined dimension turned back.
  • an optical diameter determination and an electromagnetic alloy determination includes the recognized coins 1 over from the respective Coin recognition device 23 controlled discharge devices 25, for example electromagnetic ejectors, in a collecting container pushed out. Unrecognized coins 1 pass through the end of the drop respective coin conveyor 3 also in a collecting container. Through a the discharge device 25 following sensor 26 can do the proper Throw away the recognized coins or unload the unrecognized ones Coins are monitored.
