Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for checking the authenticity of coins, tokens or other flat objects of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
- Such coin validators are suitable, for example, for the identification of coins in telephone sets, vending machines, counters for measuring energy, etc.
- a device for checking coins, tokens or other flat objects of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 3 944 038. Another device is known from US 3 844 297. These devices do not provide any special measures to slowing down coins flung into the coin inlet opening with force.
- a device which contains a shock absorbing element after the coin inlet opening, but does not have any special precautions, in particular to brake a coin which is thrown into the inlet opening with force before impact on the shock absorbing element, so that a jumping or jumping of the coin in the area of the sensors that are available for the authenticity check is not prevented.
- DE-UI G 90 13 836.8 It is also known from DE-UI G 90 13 836.8 to have the coin to be tested impact on an impact surface and to provide a sensor for determining the impact, which provides a signal which is used as a decision criterion for the acceptance or rejection of the coin .
- the impact surface is designed as an energy-absorbing plate made of ceramic.
- a curved section is provided in front of the impact surface for braking coins which have been thrown into them. This solution requires a relatively large amount of space and can also slow down the coins to a certain degree, but it is not ensured that the coin will continue to lie flat on a side wall of the coin channel after leaving the impact surface.
- the invention is based on the object of designing the coin channel of a device of the type mentioned at the outset in a space-saving manner in such a way that a coin which is normally thrown into the inlet opening and is thrown into the inlet opening in the area of the sensors checking the authenticity is approximately plane-parallel to a side wall of the coin channel the bottom of the coin channel rolls.
- coin M also includes tokens or other flat objects.
- the body 1 shows the longitudinal section of a body 1 in the plane formed by the front side wall 2 (FIG. 2) of a coin channel K.
- the body 1 has a coin inlet opening 3 and a first and a second impact surface 4 and 5, which are designed as flat planes.
- the first impact surface 4 is in Direction of movement of the coin M is formed as an inclined plane which includes an angle ⁇ in the range from 15 ° to 30 ° with the horizontal H.
- a recess 8 in the bottom 7, in which an energy-absorbing element 9 is inserted.
- the element 9 extends laterally through a slot 10 in the front side wall 2 and through a slot in the rear side wall 11 (FIG. 2).
- the element 9 is preferably a plate made of rustproof metal or ceramic.
- the clear width w of the coin channel K is slightly larger than the diameter of the largest coin to be tested; for example, it is 35 mm. This clear width w is a benchmark, which can also be somewhat larger in the area of the impact surfaces 4 and 5. 1 shows a scale design of the coin channel K in advantageous dimensions.
- FIG. 2 shows the cross section of the body 1 in a section passing through the first impact surface 4.
- the front and rear side walls 2 and 11 of the coin channel K are inclined relative to the vertical V by a predetermined angle ⁇ of typically ten degrees.
- the rear side wall 11 is provided with integrally formed ribs 12, which are formed primarily in the direction of the coin.
- the impact surface 4 is inclined with respect to the side walls 2 and 11, so that an obtuse angle ⁇ is formed between the side wall 2 and the impact surface 4 and an acute angle with the value 180 ° - ⁇ is formed between the side wall 11 and the impact surface 4.
- a preferred value for the angle ⁇ is 120 °.
- the distance d between the side walls 2 and 11 is about 3.5 mm.
- the second impact surface 5 is first inclined relative to the side walls 2 and 11, so that an obtuse angle is also formed between the side wall 2 and the impact surface 5 and an acute angle is formed between the side wall 11 and the impact surface 5.
- the impact surface 5 is also inclined with respect to the vertical V by a predetermined angle ⁇ (FIG. 1), which is, for example, five to ten degrees.
- the first impact surface 4 causes a change in the direction of an inserted coin M from a more or less perpendicular direction of movement in a predominantly horizontal direction of movement.
- the oblique arrangement of the impact surface 4 with respect to the side walls 2 and 11 (FIG. 2, angle ⁇ ) further causes the coin M impacting on the surface 4 to receive a recoil with a force component directed against the rear side wall 11.
- angle ⁇ the angle of this force component increases with increasing angle ⁇ .
- the second impact surface 5 reverses the horizontal direction of movement of the coin M. Furthermore, the impact surface 5 of the coin M, if it hits the surface 5 and does not fall directly on the element 9 after leaving the impact surface 4, conveys a recoil with a force component directed against the rear side wall 11, so that the coin M, if necessary is conveyed even more against the rear side wall 11 and ultimately rolls down the section 6 lying flat on the ribs 12 of the rear side wall 11 after leaving the element 9.
- the vertical inclination of the impact surface 5 by the angle sseniques may cause an impact on the coin M with a force component directed against the energy-absorbing element 9 with the purpose that the coin M strikes the element 9 in any case.
- the element 9 serves to redirect the direction of movement of the coin M and to absorb excess energy of the coin M, so that the coin M rolls down on the floor 7 at the latest after leaving the element 9 without the coin M jumping or jumping.
- the design of the rear side wall 11 with ribs 12 on the one hand reduces the friction between the coin M and the side wall 11, on the other hand the space between the ribs 12 also serves to accommodate dirt particles.
- the function of the impact surfaces 4 and 5 is to guide the coin M on its way to the energy-absorbing element 9 and, in particular, to brake a coin M thrown into the inlet opening 3 in such a way that the element 9 hits the surface after the impact 4 and optionally the surface 5 remaining kinetic energy of the coin M is able to absorb so far that the coin M, regardless of its thickness, its diameter and its insertion speed, rolls in the section 6 of the coin channel K and thereby rests on the rear side wall 11.
- a small coin which has a small mass and which is let into the inlet opening 3 quite normally, will pass through the coin channel K without touching the impact surface 5.
- a small coin that is flung into the inlet opening 3 is flung from the first impact surface 4 against the rear side wall 11 so that it slides along on the rear side wall 11. Thanks to the associated friction, it is braked somewhat, but its kinetic energy will be sufficient to hit the second impact surface 5.
- a large coin M which is slightly smaller than the height h of the coin channel K, on the other hand, always strikes the second impact surface 5.
- the body 1 preferably consists of two plastic parts produced by injection molding, so that the coin channel K is formed as a recess in the body 1.
- the element 9 is loosely inserted.
- the plastic parts are provided with stops which have the effect that the element 9 cannot get stuck in any way either during transport or during operation of the device, so that its function is not impaired.
- first and second impact surfaces 4, 5 be in their position with respect to the coin channel K to form predetermined areas directly in the corresponding plastic part.
- the impact surface 5 it is also possible to provide the impact surface 5 as part of a further movable body separated from the body 1, this body being loosely inserted when the body 1 is assembled, analogous to the element 9, and the freedom of movement of the impact surface 5 by appropriate stops for this body is specified. This embodiment enables an even greater energy transfer from the coin M to this body.
- plastic for the impact surfaces 4 and 5 results in an at least partially elastic impact between the coin M and the impact surface.
- the weight of the element 9 is of a similar magnitude as the weights of the coins M to be tested.

Solche Münzprüfer eignen sich beispielsweise für die Identifizierung von Münzen bei Telefonapparaten, Verkaufsautomaten, Zählern zur Messung von Energie etc.Such coin validators are suitable, for example, for the identification of coins in telephone sets, vending machines, counters for measuring energy, etc.
Eine Einrichtung zur Prüfung von Münzen, Jetons oder anderen flachen Gegenständen der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art ist bekannt aus der US 3 944 038. Eine weitere Einrichtung ist bekannt aus der US 3 844 297. Diese Einrichtungen sehen keine besonderen Massnahmen vor, um mit Wucht in die Münzeinlassöffnung geschleuderte Münzen abzubremsen.A device for checking coins, tokens or other flat objects of the type mentioned in the preamble of
Aus der GB 2 266 804 ist eine Einrichtung bekannt, die zwar nach der Münzeinlassöffnung ein Schock absorbierendes Element enthält, jedoch weiter keine besonderen Vorkehrungen aufweist, um insbesondere eine mit Wucht in die Einlassöffnung hineingeschleuderte Münze vor dem Aufprall auf das Schock absorbierende Element abzubremsen, so dass ein Hüpfen oder Springen der Münze im Bereich der Sensoren, die für die Echtheitsprüfung vorhanden sind, nicht verhindert ist.From
Es ist aus der DE-UI G 90 13 836.8 auch bekannt, die zu prüfende Münze auf eine Aufprallfläche aufprallen zu lassen und einen Fühler zur Ermittlung des Aufpralls vorzusehen, der ein Signal liefert, das als Entscheidungskriterium für die Annahme oder Zurückweisung der Münze verwendet wird. Die Aufprallfläche ist als ein Energie absorbierendes Plättchen aus Keramik ausgebildet. Vor der Aufprallfläche ist ein gekrümmter Abschnitt vorgesehen zum Abbremsen hineingeschleuderter Münzen. Diese Lösung benötigt einen relativ grossen Platzbedarf und vermag die Münzen auch zu einem gewissen Grad abzubremsen, es ist aber nicht sichergestellt, dass die Münze nach dem Verlassen der Aufprallfläche an einer Seitenwand des Münzkanals planparallel aufliegend weiterrollt.It is also known from DE-UI G 90 13 836.8 to have the coin to be tested impact on an impact surface and to provide a sensor for determining the impact, which provides a signal which is used as a decision criterion for the acceptance or rejection of the coin . The impact surface is designed as an energy-absorbing plate made of ceramic. A curved section is provided in front of the impact surface for braking coins which have been thrown into them.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Münzkanal einer Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art in platzsparender Weise derart auszubilden, dass eine normal in die Einlassöffnung eingeworfene wie eine in die Einlassöffnung hineingeschleuderte Münze im Bereich der die Echtheit prüfenden Sensoren annähernd planparallel zu einer Seitenwand des Münzkanals auf dem Boden des Münzkanals rollt.The invention is based on the object of designing the coin channel of a device of the type mentioned at the outset in a space-saving manner in such a way that a coin which is normally thrown into the inlet opening and is thrown into the inlet opening in the area of the sensors checking the authenticity is approximately plane-parallel to a side wall of the coin channel the bottom of the coin channel rolls.

Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Unter dem Begriff der Münze M sind dabei auch Jetons oder andere flache Gegenstände zu verstehen.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. The term coin M also includes tokens or other flat objects.
Es zeigen:

- the body in cross section
Die Fig. 1 zeigt den Längsschnitt eines Körpers 1 in der durch die vordere Seitenwand 2 (Fig. 2) eines Münzkanals K gebildeten Ebene. Der Körper 1 weist eine Münzeinlassöffnung 3 und eine erste und eine zweite Aufprallfläche 4 bzw. 5, die als plane Ebenen ausgeführt sind, auf. Die erste Aufprallfläche 4 ist in Laufrichtung der Münze M als schiefe Ebene ausgebildet, die mit der Horizontalen H einen Winkel α im Bereich von 15° bis 30° einschliesst. In einem weiteren Abschnitt 6 des Münzkanals K befindet sich im Boden 7 eine Vertiefung 8, in die ein Energie absorbierendes Element 9 eingelegt ist. Das Element 9 erstreckt sich seitlich durch einen Schlitz 10 in der vorderen Seitenwand 2 und durch einen Schlitz in der hinteren Seitenwand 11 (Fig. 2). Das Element 9 ist vorzugsweise ein Plättchen aus nicht rostendem Metall oder aus Keramik. Die lichte Weite w des Münzkanals K ist wenig grösser als der Durchmesser der grössten zu prüfenden Münze; sie beträgt z.B. 35 mm. Diese lichte Weite w ist eine Richtgrösse, die im Bereich der Aufprallflächen 4 und 5 auch etwas grösser sein kann. Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine massstäbliche Ausgestaltung des Münzkanals K in vorteilhaften Dimensionen.1 shows the longitudinal section of a
Die Fig. 2 zeigt den Querschnitt des Körpers 1 in einem durch die erste Aufprallfläche 4 hindurchgehenden Schnitt. Die vordere und die hintere Seitenwand 2 bzw. 11 des Münzkanals K sind gegenüber der Vertikalen V um einen vorbestimmten Winkel Θ von typischerweise zehn Grad geneigt. Die hintere Seitenwand 11 ist mit angeformten Rippen 12 versehen, die vornehmlich in Fall- bzw. Laufrichtung der Münze ausgebildet sind. Die Aufprallfläche 4 ist gegenüber den Seitenwänden 2 und 11 geneigt, so dass zwischen der Seitenwand 2 und der Aufprallfläche 4 ein stumpfer Winkel β und zwischen der Seitenwand 11 und der Aufprallfläche 4 ein spitzer Winkel mit dem Wert 180°-β gebildet ist. Ein bevorzugter Wert für den Winkel β ist 120°. Der Abstand d der Seitenwände 2 und 11 beträgt etwa 3.5 mm.FIG. 2 shows the cross section of the
Die zweite Aufprallfläche 5 ist erstens gegenüber den Seitenwänden 2 und 11 geneigt, so dass auch zwischen der Seitenwand 2 und der Aufprallfläche 5 ein stumpfer Winkel und zwischen der Seitenwand 11 und der Aufprallfläche 5 ein spitzer Winkel gebildet ist. Zweitens ist die Aufprallfläche 5 auch gegenüber der Vertikalen V um einen vorbestimmten Winkel ϕ (Fig. 1) geneigt, der beispielsweise fünf bis zehn Grad beträgt.The
In dem weiteren Abschnitt 6 (Fig. 1) des Münzkanals K, der in Laufrichtung der Münze betrachtet nach der Aufprallfläche 5 anfängt, schliesst der Boden 7 des Münzkanals K mit beiden Seitenwänden 2 und 11 einen rechten Winkel ein. Das Element 9 und der Boden 7 bilden im Ruhezustand des Elementes 9 eine annähernd planparallele Fläche. Sensoren 13 zur Prüfung der Echtheit der Münze M sind im Abschnitt 6 nach dem Element 9 angeordnet.In the further section 6 (FIG. 1) of the coin channel K, which, viewed in the direction of travel of the coin, begins after the
Wie aus der Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, bewirkt die erste Aufprallfläche 4 eine Richtungsänderung einer eingeworfenen Münze M aus einer mehr oder weniger senkrechten Bewegungsrichtung in eine vorwiegend horizontale Bewegungsrichtung. Die schräge Anordnung der Aufprallfläche 4 gegenüber den Seitenwänden 2 und 11 (Fig. 2, Winkel β) bewirkt weiter, dass die auf die Fläche 4 aufprallende Münze M einen Rückstoss mit einer gegen die hintere Seitenwand 11 gerichteten Kraftkomponente erhält. In der Folge wird die Münze M gegen die hintere Seitenwand 11 geschleudert. Die Stärke dieser Kraftkomponente nimmt mit zunehmendem Winkel β zu.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the
Die zweite Aufprallfläche 5 bewirkt eine Umkehr der horizontalen Bewegungsrichtung der Münze M. Weiter vermittelt auch die Aufprallfläche 5 der Münze M, falls diese auf die Fläche 5 aufprallt und nicht nach dem Verlassen der Aufprallfläche 4 direkt auf das Element 9 fällt, einen Rückstoss mit einer gegen die hintere Seitenwand 11 gerichteten Kraftkomponente, so dass die Münze M gegebenenfalls noch mehr gegen die hintere Seitenwand 11 befördert wird und letztendlich den Abschnitt 6 nach Verlassen des Elementes 9 planparallel auf den Rippen 12 der hinteren Seitenwand 11 aufliegend hinabrollt. Die vertikale Neigung der Aufprallfläche 5 um den Winkel ϕ bewirkt gegebenenfalls einen Stoss auf die Münze M mit einer gegen das Energie absorbierende Element 9 gerichteten Kraftkomponente mit dem Zweck, dass die Münze M in jedem Fall auf das Element 9 auftrifft.The
Das Element 9 dient der Umlenkung der Bewegungsrichtung der Münze M sowie der Absorption von überschüssiger Energie der Münze M, so dass die Münze M spätestens nach dem Verlassen des Elementes 9 auf dem Boden 7 hinunterrollt, ohne dass die Münze M hüpft oder springt.The
Die Ausgestaltung der hinteren Seitenwand 11 mit Rippen 12 reduziert einerseits die Reibung zwischen der Münze M und der Seitenwand 11, andererseits dient der Raum zwischen den Rippen 12 auch zur Aufnahme von Schmutzpartikeln.The design of the rear side wall 11 with
Die Funktion der Aufprallflächen 4 und 5 besteht darin, die Münze M auf ihrem Weg bis zum Energie absorbierenden Element 9 derart zu führen, und insbesondere eine in die Einlassöffnung 3 hineingeschleuderte Münze M derart abzubremsen, dass das Element 9 die nach dem Aufprall auf die Fläche 4 und gegebenenfalls die Fläche 5 verbleibende kinetische Energie der Münze M so weit zu absorbieren vermag, dass die Münze M, unabhängig von ihrer Dicke, ihrem Durchmesser und ihrer Einwurfsgeschwindigkeit, im Abschnitt 6 des Münzkanals K rollt und dabei auf der hinteren Seitenwand 11 aufliegt.The function of the impact surfaces 4 and 5 is to guide the coin M on its way to the energy-absorbing
Eine kleine Münze, die eine kleine Masse aufweist und die ganz normal in die Einlassöffnung 3 eingelassen wird, wird den Münzkanal K durchlaufen, ohne die Aufprallfläche 5 zu berühren. Eine kleine Münze, die in die Einlassöffnung 3 hineingeschleudert wird, wird von der ersten Aufprallfläche 4 gegen die hintere Seitenwand 11 geschleudert, so dass sie auf der hinteren Seitenwand 11 entlangrutscht. Dank der damit verbundenen Reibung wird sie zwar etwas abgebremst, jedoch wird ihre kinetische Energie ausreichen, dass sie auf die zweite Aufprallfläche 5 prallt. Eine grosse Münze M, die wenig kleiner als die Höhe h des Münzkanals K ist, prallt hingegen immer auf die zweite Aufprallfläche 5.A small coin, which has a small mass and which is let into the inlet opening 3 quite normally, will pass through the coin channel K without touching the
Der Körper 1 besteht vorzugsweise aus zwei im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellten Kunststoffteilen, so dass der Münzkanal K als eine Ausnehmung im Körper 1 gebildet ist. Beim Zusammenbau des Körpers 1 wird das Element 9 lose eingelegt. Die Kunststoffteile sind mit Anschlägen versehen, die bewirken, dass sich das Element 9 weder beim Transport noch im Betrieb der Einrichtung in irgendeiner Weise verklemmen kann, so dass eine Beeinträchtigung seiner Funktion ausgeschlossen ist.The
Es ist bevorzugt, die erste und die zweite Aufprallfläche 4, 5 als in ihrer Lage bezüglich des Münzkanals K vorbestimmte Flächen direkt im entsprechenden Kunststoffteil auszuformen. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Aufprallfläche 5 als Teil eines vom Körper 1 getrennten weiteren beweglichen Körpers vorzusehen, wobei dieser Körper beim Zusammenbau des Körpers 1 analog zu dem Element 9 lose eingelegt wird und wobei die Bewegungsfreiheit der Aufprallfläche 5 durch entsprechende Anschläge für diesen Körper vorgegeben ist. Diese Ausführungsform ermöglicht eine noch grössere Energieübertragung von der Münze M auf diesen Körper.It is preferred that the first and second impact surfaces 4, 5 be in their position with respect to the coin channel K to form predetermined areas directly in the corresponding plastic part. However, it is also possible to provide the
Die Verwendung von Kunststoff für die Aufprallflächen 4 und 5 ergibt einen mindestens teilweise elastischen Stoss zwischen der Münze M und der Aufprallfläche.The use of plastic for the impact surfaces 4 and 5 results in an at least partially elastic impact between the coin M and the impact surface.
Das Gewicht des Elementes 9 ist von ähnlicher Grössenordnung wie die Gewichte der zu prüfenden Münzen M.The weight of the
