Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vending machine, in particular parking ticket machines, having an internal structure which has a security area in which a cash register for receiving coin and / or paper money is arranged, and a housing surrounding the internal structure.
  • vending machines In the operation of such vending machines, be it ticket machines, ticket vending machines, beverage or other vending machines, accumulates in the cashier until the next emptying ever-increasing amount of money. To protect against burglary and theft, the cash register is therefore housed in a security area of the interior. Considerable efforts are being devoted to safeguards to make the security area inaccessible to unauthorized persons.
  • the utility model DE 201 17 800 U1 discloses a closure for doors or drawers of cabinets, vending machines or the like with a locking element and a key.
  • the key has a transponder which, after receiving an excitation signal emitted by an antenna of the shutter, returns to the antenna an identifier which can be checked by an electronic control device of the shutter for a locking authorization of the key.
  • the locking element has a toothed portion, in the teeth of which engage the teeth of a driven by a drive motor gear, wherein the drive motor is controlled by the electronic control for rotation in both directions of rotation.
  • a disadvantage of the known from the prior art vending machines are the doors, flaps or drawers over the more or less large housing openings access to the security area and thus the cashier is enabled.
  • Such coverable and closable openings in the case of the vending machine represent a high security risk, since they represent a promising starting point for burglary tools.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a vending machine of the type mentioned, which offers a high degree of security against break-ins.
  • a generic vending machine wherein the housing is formed substantially closed and at least one Part of the housing between a closed position in which the security area is not accessible from the outside, and a release position in which the security area is accessible with access to the cash register from the outside, is movable.
  • a housing is considered in which is dispensed with doors, flaps, drawers and the like openings, so there are only small openings such as slots for Münzeinsch or card input, recesses for display and input elements, or output openings for parking tickets or change. By such small openings, however, the cash from the security area can not be led to the outside.
  • the housing is designed as a downwardly open hood, which is vertically movable.
  • the hood represents the simplest form of a housing, which is able to cover in a closed manner an inner structure anchored in the ground surrounding. By vertical movement of the housing, so by raising or lowering the hood, a security area of the internal structure for access from the outside can be easily released and closed again.
  • a drive and guide elements for a linear movability of the housing is provided.
  • Actuators and guide elements from the linear technology allow a simple and cost-effective implementation of the linear mobility of the housing.
  • guide elements are vertically positioned screw spindles into consideration, with which a housing connected to the screw can be engaged.
  • the latter is set in rotary motion by means of a drive, for example an electric motor permanently arranged inside the housing, so that, depending on the direction of rotation, the screw moves up or down along the spindles, the housing of the automatic vending machine being moved between the closing and the releasing position.
  • the drive is designed portable and can be coupled from the outside with the guide elements.
  • the drive can be designed as a cordless screwdriver, which can be brought into engagement with a guide element via a hexagonal insert in a corresponding plug-in opening.
  • the guide elements in this case have known machine elements which convert the rotational movement of the coupled hexagonal insert such that the housing can be screwed up and back in accordance with the rotational movement along the spindles.
  • the portable drive by a coverable housing opening with the guide elements can be coupled and a cover of the housing opening by means of an electronic key from a portable handset without automatic machine power supply can be released.
  • the cover of the housing opening initially provides a privacy on the type of coupling between the portable drive and guide element.
  • the cover closes the housing opening, the only of an authorized maintenance personnel with portable handset is unlockable.
  • an electronic key is provided, which works for example by inductive interaction of the handset with an actuator of the cover.
  • the necessary energy for the actuator of the cover can be transferred from the handset, so that can be dispensed with a machine-side power supply for this locking mechanism.
  • a handheld device with a valid electronic key is to be carried along with the appropriate drive, which represents a considerable increase in the security standard of the invention of vending machines.
  • the vending machine is a lower edge of the housing in the closed position in a foundation base on which the inner structure is placed, retractable and covered by a labyrinth overlap.
  • the housing is in the closed position. In the closed position, the lower edge of the housing protrudes into a recess of the foundation base in such a way that it is covered like a labyrinth and thus turned off as a point of attack for a breaking tool.
  • the housing has a lower part and an upper part, which are selectively movable with each other or separately, wherein the upper part between an access and a closed position is movable, in which an electronics area of the internal structure accessible from the outside or is not accessible.
  • the housing in total or at least one of its movable housing parts in the closed position can be shut off.
  • the lock may be mechanical or electromechanical type and provides an additional security feature against burglary attempts directed to a cash withdrawal.
  • a parking ticket machine 1 has, according to FIG. 1, an interior structure 2 which is set up on a foundation base 3 and anchored therein.
  • the foundation base 3 is sunk at the site of the parking ticket machine 1 in the ground 4.
  • the inner structure 2 is constructed like a shelf and has a lower security area 5 and an electronics area 6 arranged above it.
  • a cash register 7 for receiving coin and / or paper money is arranged, which is inserted during operation of the parking ticket machine 1 through slot-like coin and bill openings in the parking ticket machine 1.
  • the electronics area 6 electrically operated components are arranged, such as coin and bill validator, printers for parking tickets and receipts, display elements and reading and processing units for cash cards and an associated keyboard, which are not shown.
  • the housing may be formed in one piece, but comprises in the illustrated embodiment, a lower housing part 8 and the same cross-section having housing upper part 9.
  • the upper housing part 9 is provided with a roof, while the lower housing part 8 is formed as a jacket with open end faces, so that the housing , 9 is executed as a downwardly open hood.
  • the cash register 7 Due to the limited capacity of the cash register 7 and the amount of cash to accumulate in the cash register 7 can not exceed a certain limit, the cash register 7 is emptied in certain maintenance intervals, or exchanged for an empty cash register 7.
  • the housing 8, 9 no access openings with doors, flaps, drawers or the like provided. Rather, the housing 8, 9 is substantially closed in order not to offer any points of attack for burglary tools.
  • the housing 8, 9 of the parking ticket machine 1 according to the invention is designed to be movable in the vertical direction V.
  • screw spindles designed as guide elements 10 are provided in the housing 8, 9, with a rectangular cross-section of the housing 8, 9, for example at each of the four corners.
  • the housing parts 8, 9 are in a lower closed position, which is shown by solid lines. In this closed position, neither the security area 5 nor the electronics area 6 is accessible from outside.
  • the lower edge 14 of the lower housing part 8 protrudes in this closed position into a recess of the foundation base 3, so that the lower edge 14 is covered in the form of a labyrinth overlap 15 from the outside and therefore offers no possibility of attack for burglary tools.
  • the drive 13 is to be coupled to the lower guide element 12.
  • the lower housing part 8 and the upper housing part 9 are moved from its lower closed position to an upper release position.
  • the housing upper part 9 can also be moved.
  • the drive 13 is to be brought into engagement with the upper guide element 12. Activation of the drive 13 then moves only the upper housing part 9 from its lower closed position into an upper release position of the upper housing part 9 '. In this release position, the electronics area 6 is accessible from the outside so that repair and maintenance work can be carried out unhindered.
  • the lower housing part 8 remains in its lower closed position, so that Access to the security area 5 is denied.
  • the drive 13 remains coupled to the respective guide element 12 and therefore moves up and down with it.
  • the housing parts 8, 9 can be mechanically or electromechanically locked, which is not explicitly shown, since such locks are known per se.
  • the simplest case of locking consists in the self-locking effect of the screw thread of the guide elements 10, 11, 12, which does not allow a vertical movement of the housing parts 8, 9 by hand.
  • FIG. 1 Another safety aspect of the parking ticket machine 1 according to the invention is illustrated only in FIG.
  • the drive 13 of which a hexagonal insert of a cordless screwdriver is shown here, with one of the guide elements 12, this is to be introduced through a housing opening 16 in the side wall of the housing 8, 9.
  • this housing opening 16 is closed by a cover 17.
  • the authorized maintenance personnel carry beside the drive 13 a handset 18 with them - both of which can be integrated into one part - with which an electronic key is carried.
  • energy and a key coding can be transmitted from the handset to a key receiver 19.
  • an unillustrated actuator such as a magnetic tappet-is actuated, which displaces the cover 17 and thus releases the housing opening 16.
  • no automatic power supply is required for the actuator, since the energy required for this is transmitted from the handset 18.
  • the advantage is that an otherwise existing machine-side power source can not fail, which would cause costly emergency openings.
