Description

i DK 169243 B1in DK 169243 B1

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en mønthåndteringsmekanisme i henhold til krav l's indledning.The present invention relates to a coin handling mechanism according to the preamble of claim 1.

Møntbetjente maskiner, såsom salgsautomater, spillemaskiner osv., 5 har hver en mønthåndteringsmekanisme, der kan være indrettet til at godkende mønter med forskellige værdier. En typisk mønthåndteringsmekanisme omfatter organer til at bestemme værdien af den indkastede mønt og organer til at bestemme, om mønten er ægte eller ikke. Disse detekteringsorganer udgøres sædvanligvis af mekaniske organer, som 10 udfører forudbestemte kontroller på basis af vægten og/eller dimensionerne af acceptable mønter. Nogle tidligere foreslåede mønthåndteringsanordninger er ikke effektive, da de ikke kan detektere falske mønter fremstillet af metaller eller legeringer, der er forskellige fra de ægte mønters metal, hvis de falske mønter har 15 samme vægt og dimensioner som de ægte mønter.Coin-operated machines, such as vending machines, slot machines, etc., 5 each have a coin-handling mechanism that may be adapted to accept coins of different values. A typical coin-handling mechanism comprises means for determining the value of the coin tossed in, and means for determining whether the coin is genuine or not. These detection means are usually constituted by mechanical means which perform predetermined checks on the basis of the weight and / or dimensions of acceptable coins. Some previously proposed coin handling devices are ineffective as they cannot detect counterfeit coins made of metals or alloys different from the real coin's metal if the counterfeit coins have the same weight and dimensions as the real coins.

US patent nr. 3.797.628 omhandler en mønthåndteringsmekanisme af den art, der er angivet i krav l's indledning. Denne kendte mekanisme omfatter en mekanisk startstyring og bag den en første kontrolzone 20 af fotoelektriske sensorer anbragt med en forudbestemt indbyrdes afstand langs banen for mønten. Dette første par af sensorer tilvejebringer informationer vedrørende hastigheden af mønten, umiddelbart før den træder ind i det magnetiske felt fra magnetorganer.U.S. Patent No. 3,797,628 discloses a coin handling mechanism of the kind set forth in claim 1. This known mechanism comprises a mechanical starting control and behind it a first control zone 20 of photoelectric sensors located at a predetermined distance along the path of the coin. This first pair of sensors provides information about the velocity of the coin immediately before entering the magnetic field from magnetic means.

Hver mønt passerer gennem magnetfeltet, og hvirvelstrømme induceres 25 således, at en forsinkende kraft skabes. Et andet par af fotoelektriske sensorer er anbragt ved banen og tilvejebringer informationer vedrørende hastighed af mønten, når den træder ud fra magnetfeltet. Denne mekanisme er kompliceret og behøver en lang bane for at kontrollere og standse mønten. Nøjagtigheden af målingen afhænger af 30 variationerne af hastigheden samt ændringer af temperaturen og friktionspåvirkninger.Each coin passes through the magnetic field and vortex currents are induced to create a delaying force. Another pair of photoelectric sensors is located at the web and provides information on the velocity of the coin as it exits from the magnetic field. This mechanism is complicated and needs a long trajectory to control and stop the coin. The accuracy of the measurement depends on the 30 variations in velocity as well as changes in temperature and frictional effects.

EP patentansøgning 164.110 omhandler et møntskelneapparat, der omfatter elektromagnetiske detekteringsorganer til som et elektrisk 35 signal at detektere en fysisk egenskab ved en mønt, en analog-til-digital omsætter til at omsætte et udgangssignal fra detekteringsorganerne til et digitalt signal og omfatter endvidere et lagerorgan til som et adressesignal at modtage det digitale signal, der frembringes af omsætteren og til at lagre et endeligt signal. Der DK 169243 B1 2 behøves to elektromagnetiske sensorer, som skal være absolut identiske i deres mekaniske og elektriske egenskaber, da krydsningspunktet for de elektriske signaler, der frembringes af disse sensorer, skal svare til diametren af mønten.EP patent application 164,110 discloses a coin switching apparatus comprising electromagnetic detection means for detecting, as an electrical signal, a physical property of a coin, an analog-to-digital converter for converting an output signal from the detection means to a digital signal, and further comprising a storage means for as an address signal, to receive the digital signal produced by the transducer and to store a final signal. There is a need for two electromagnetic sensors, which must be absolutely identical in their mechanical and electrical properties, since the point of intersection of the electrical signals produced by these sensors must correspond to the diameter of the coin.

Formålet med opfindelsen er at forbedre mønthåndteringsmekanismen af den ovennævnte art, således at mekanismen er let at fremstille, og at mekanismen kan detektere mønter fremstillet af kendte magnetiske materialer.The object of the invention is to improve the coin handling mechanism of the aforementioned kind so that the mechanism is easy to manufacture and that the mechanism can detect coins made of known magnetic materials.

1010

Dette formål opnås ved hjælp af de i krav l7s kendetegnende del angivne særlige træk.This object is achieved by means of the special features specified in the characterizing part of claim 17.

Fortrinsvis omfatter den elektromagnetiske sensor mindst et par 15 spoler, der er anbragt på modsatte sider af møntbanen, hvor hver spole har et elektromagnetisk felt, som skærer møntbanen, idet der er en oscillator til at aktivere arrangementet og organer til at bestemme de elektromagnetiske egenskaber ved en mønt, som passerer gennem spolernes elektromagnetiske felter.Preferably, the electromagnetic sensor comprises at least a pair of coils disposed on opposite sides of the coin path, each coil having an electromagnetic field intersecting the coin path, an oscillator for activating the arrangement and means for determining the electromagnetic properties of the coin path. a coin passing through the electromagnetic fields of the coils.

2020

Hver spole er fordelagtigt direkte forbundet med den ene udgang på en oscillator, hvilken oscillator har en yderligere udgang, som er forbundet med en mikroprocessor. Mikroprocessoren er indrettet til at behandle signalerne, som leveres til den for at bestemme de 25 karakteristiske egenskaber ved variationerne, som oscillatoren kommer ud for under passagen af en mønt gennem den elektromagnetiske sensor.Advantageously, each coil is directly connected to one output of an oscillator, said oscillator having an additional output connected to a microprocessor. The microprocessor is adapted to process the signals supplied to it to determine the 25 characteristic properties of the variations encountered by the oscillator during the passage of a coin through the electromagnetic sensor.

Den udgang på oscillatoren, som er forbundet med mikroprocessoren, 30 er fortrinsvis forbundet med mikroprocessoren over en ensretter og en analog-til-digital omsætter.The output of the oscillator connected to the microprocessor 30 is preferably connected to the microprocessor over a rectifier and an analog-to-digital converter.

Hensigtsmæssigt bliver et yderligere udgangssignal fra oscillatoren ført til mikroprocessoren som en taktindgang.Conveniently, an additional output signal from the oscillator is fed to the microprocessor as a clock input.

Mikroprocessoren omfatter organerne til at bestemme accelerationen og fortrinsvis yderligere hastigheden af mønten mellem de fotoelektriske sensorer.The microprocessor comprises the means for determining the acceleration and preferably further the speed of the coin between the photoelectric sensors.

Bestemte værdier vedrørende mønten sammenlignes med tilsvarende værdier, der er lagret i et lager. Et møntafvisningsarrangement kan aktiveres, hvis der ikke foretages en gyldig sammenligning, men hvis der udføres en sådan gyldig sammenligning, accepteres mønten, og der 5 frembringes et signal til at aktivere maskinen, som er forbundet med mønthåndteri ngsmekani smen.Certain values relating to the coin are compared to corresponding values stored in a warehouse. A coin rejection arrangement can be activated if no valid comparison is made, but if such a valid comparison is made, the coin is accepted and a signal is generated to activate the machine associated with the coin handling mechanism.

For at opfindelsen kan forstås bedre, og således at yderligere særlige træk ved denne kan ses, vil opfindelsen nu blive beskrevet 10 som eksempel under henvisning til tegningen, der er et skematisk blokdiagram over en udførelsesform for opfindelsen.In order that the invention may be better understood and so that further particular features thereof can be seen, the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the drawing, which is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of the invention.

På tegningen er en mønthåndteringsmekanisme ifølge opfindelsen indrettet til at modtage en mønt 1 og til at lede mønten langs en 15 forudbestemt bane 2. Den forudbestemte bane er ikke horisontal og er således skrå nedad eller er vertikal, så at mønten passerer langs banen under tyngdekraftens indflydelse. Mønten vil naturligvis bevæge sig langs banen med en hastighed og en acceleration bestemt af møntens masse.In the drawing, a coin handling mechanism according to the invention is arranged to receive a coin 1 and to guide the coin along a predetermined path 2. The predetermined path is not horizontal and is thus inclined downward or vertical so that the coin passes along the path under the influence of gravity. . The coin will of course move along the course at a speed and acceleration determined by the mass of the coin.

20 På to i indbyrdes afstand liggende steder langs banen 2 er der anbragt fotoelektriske sensorer 3,4. Sensorerne 3,4 er anbragt med en forudbestemt afstand, der definerer en kontrol zone. Hver sensor 3,4 udgøres af en fotodiode-lysemitter og fototransistor-lysmodta-25 ger. Sensorerne kan specielt være indrettet til at bestemme diametren eller tykkelsen af mønten.At two spaced locations along the path 2, photoelectric sensors 3,4 are arranged. The sensors 3,4 are located at a predetermined distance defining a control zone. Each sensor 3,4 consists of a photodiode light emitter and phototransistor light receiver. The sensors may be specially arranged to determine the diameter or thickness of the coin.

Mellem disse sensorer 3 og 4 er der en yderligere sensor 5, som er en elektromagnetisk målesensor. Den elektromagnetiske målesensor er 30 forsynet med et par spoler 6, som er elektrisk forbundet med hinanden, og som er anbragt på modsatte sider af banen 2, som mønten 1 følger. Spolerne er anbragt således, at det elektromagnetiske felt fra hver spole skærer møntbanen.Between these sensors 3 and 4 there is an additional sensor 5, which is an electromagnetic measuring sensor. The electromagnetic measurement sensor is provided with a pair of coils 6 which are electrically connected to each other and which are disposed on opposite sides of the web 2, which the coin 1 follows. The coils are arranged so that the electromagnetic field from each coil intersects the coin path.

35 Spolerne 6 bliver direkte strømforsynet af en oscillator 7. En udgang på oscillatoren 7 er forbundet med en mikroprocessor 8 for at tilvejebringe et taktindgangssignal for mikroprocessoren, og et yderligere udgangssignal fra oscillatoren 7 føres gennem en ensretter 9 og en analog-til-digital omsætter 10 til mikroprocessoren 8.The coils 6 are directly powered by an oscillator 7. An output of the oscillator 7 is connected to a microprocessor 8 to provide a clock input signal for the microprocessor and a further output signal of the oscillator 7 is passed through a rectifier 9 and an analog-to-digital converter. 10 to the microprocessor 8.

For at udelukke eventuel oscillatordrift findes der en automatisk kompensator 11, der er forbundet mellem ensretteren 9 og en styreterminal på oscillatoren 7 til at minimere risikoen for eventuel langtidsvariation af amplituden eller frekvensen af oscillatoren.To exclude any oscillator operation, there is an automatic compensator 11 connected between the rectifier 9 and a control terminal of the oscillator 7 to minimize the risk of any long-term variation of the amplitude or frequency of the oscillator.

55

De optiske kontrol zoner 3 og 4 er også forbundet med mikroprocessoren 8. Mikroprocessoren 8 er tilknyttet et lager 12 og er forsynet med udgangsterminaler 13 og styreindgangsterminaler 14.The optical control zones 3 and 4 are also connected to the microprocessor 8. The microprocessor 8 is associated with a memory 12 and is provided with output terminals 13 and control input terminals 14.

10 Ved drift af den beskrevne anordning indføres en mønt 1 i mønthåndteringsanordningen og falder under tyngdekraftens indflydelse nedad, idet den følger banen 2. Mønten træder ind i og forlader sensoren 3.10 In operation of the described device, a coin 1 is introduced into the coin handling device and falls down under the influence of gravity, following the path 2. The coin enters and leaves the sensor 3.

Det tidspunkt, hvor forkanten af mønten skærer lysstrålen mellem fotodioden og fototransistoren, bliver effektivt registreret i 15 mikroprocessoren 8 ligesom det tidspunkt, hvor lysstrålen genetableres, når bagkanten af mønten forlader sensoren 3.The time at which the leading edge of the coin intersects the light beam between the photodiode and the phototransistor is effectively recorded in the microprocessor 8 as well as the time when the light beam is restored when the trailing edge of the coin leaves the sensor 3.

Når mønten træder ind i magnetsensoren 5, påvirker mønten induktansen af spolerne 6 og ændrer således arbejdsbetingelserne for oscil-20 latoren 7. Denne ændring viser sig i form af en variation i oscillatoramplituden og -frekvensen. Denne variation i amplitude og frekvens føres via ensretteren 9 og anal og-til-digital omsætteren 10 til mikroprocessoren 8. Mønten passerer derpå gennem sensoren 4, hvor tidspunktet for skæring af lysstrålen mellem fotodioden og 25 fototransistoren igen registreres, og ligeledes registreres tidspunktet for genetableringen af lysstrålen i mikroprocessoren 8.As the coin enters the magnetic sensor 5, the coin influences the inductance of the coils 6 and thus changes the operating conditions of the oscillator 7. This change is reflected in a variation of the oscillator amplitude and frequency. This variation in amplitude and frequency is transmitted via rectifier 9 and analogue-to-digital converter 10 to microprocessor 8. The coin then passes through sensor 4, where the time of cutting the light beam between the photodiode and the phototransistor is again recorded, and the time of re-establishment is also recorded. of the light beam in the microprocessor 8.

Ud fra informationen, som mikroprocessoren modtager, er det muligt for denne at bestemme hastigheden og/eller accelerationen af mønten 30 og at bestemme dennes elektriske egenskaber. Hvis sensorerne 3 og 4 måler diametren og bredden af mønten, kan denne information også føres til mikroprocessoren 8.From the information received by the microprocessor, it is possible for it to determine the speed and / or acceleration of the coin 30 and to determine its electrical properties. If sensors 3 and 4 measure the diameter and width of the coin, this information can also be fed to the microprocessor 8.

Mikroprocessoren 8 er programmeret til at sammenligne data, der 35 bestemmes ud fra de modtagne signaler med tilsvarende sæt af data, der er lagret i lageret 12 svarende til de data, der frembringes af en gyldig mønt med en acceptabel størrelse eller værdi. Hvis en sammenligning udføres, bliver mønten effektivt identificeret som en gyldig mønt med en forudbestemt værdi. Hvis en sammenligning ikke DK 169243 B1 5 effektueres, bliver mønten effektivt identificeret som en ugyldig mønt, enten fordi det er en mønt med en værdi, der ikke er acceptabel for mønthåndteringsapparatet, eller fordi det er en falsk mønt. Mikroprocessoren kan i en sådan situation tilvejebringe et udgangs-5 signal over en udgang 13 til at betjene en møntafvisningsmekanisme.The microprocessor 8 is programmed to compare data determined from the received signals with corresponding sets of data stored in the memory 12 corresponding to the data generated by a valid coin of an acceptable size or value. If a comparison is made, the coin is effectively identified as a valid coin with a predetermined value. If a comparison is not effected, the coin is effectively identified as an invalid coin, either because it is a coin with a value that is not acceptable to the coin handling device or because it is a fake coin. In such a situation, the microprocessor can provide an output signal over an output 13 to operate a coin rejection mechanism.
