Definitions
- the present invention refers to a machine that can be moved from one location to another without any problems and can be situated in any place in order to be put into operation, in addition to being autonomous, which permits its operation in case of eventual failure in the electrical power supply network.
- the machine is equipped to receive amounts of different types of coins and to carry out, by itself, their classification, counting and wrapping into rolls, after the classification and counting.
- the machine has special application in sectors such as, games, vending, banking, tobacco, vehicle washing tunnels, and in general, under any supposed circumstances in which its use is possible.
- the recommended machine has been conceived in order to solve the previously described problem, since it presents the particularity of being a portable machine, which permits its transference from one place to another, as if it were a simple suitcase, being also operationally autonomous, which allows it to operate during a certain time, at any moment and under any circumstances, even in case of power failure, depending on the capacity of its battery that is available.
- the machine of the invention is constituted as from a body with a general parallelepiped configuration, which includes a handle at its top part for transportation, as well as a receiver deposit compartment or hopper of the coins pretended to be classified, counted and wrapped in rolls, in such a manner, that this compartment or hopper is equipped with means that are capable of carrying out the expulsion of all the coins inserted, whichever their type, and to place them on a sliding ramp arranged in longitudinal direction on the machine body, adjacent to the top part. Transversal, stop-determining, parts have been provided on this sliding ramp, which limit the constituting zone of the coin classification means, depending on their type.
- stops or classification means will leave free passage to one coin or another, thus classifying all of them according to type, in such a way, that once classified, the coins fall onto respective tubes, each one of them of one same type of coin, these coin-falling tubes being equipped with photodiodes by means of which, their counting is performed, coming out as cylinders where respective paper foils are advantageously arranged to form the rolls, these cylinders coming out in order that the different, already formed rolls exit and fall into bags that are coupled at the ends of the cylinders and are attached by means of a ring established to that effect at the mouth of said roll-forming and exiting cylinders.
- the machine is provided at its front with a display where all type of information appears, such as - amount of coins classified, counted, malfunctions, state of the battery, and in general, any type of information related to the operations and services of the machine, since the latter is equipped with a micro processor in which the programme, on which the different configurational options are based, is introduced, programming by means of a keyboard at the front part, which aids the working of the machine.
- the machine is autonomous, due to which it shall be provided with a battery that is situated inside an internal compartment which is preferably adjacent to the micro processor, additionally equipped with a front compartment with pull-down door, inside of which are receiver bags for the coin rolls, as well as connection cables and other items.
- the machine is complemented with bottom folding legs, in such a manner, that in normal service position of the machine, said legs are folded up and abut on a surface such as, for example, a table, whilst, if a greater height is required, the legs are unfolded and the machine is elevated over the support surface.
- the machine of the invention is made up of a small body (1) with a general parallelepiped configuration, at the top part of which, a hopper (2) is established for reception of the coins, as well as a handle (3) for its manual transportation.
- the front part includes a display (4) for presenting information and a keyboard (5) for establishing the programming of the machine's operation, whilst internally it includes a sliding ramp (6), with supports (7) transversal to the same, and advantageously spaced to determine coin classifiers according to their type, that is to say, that the coins shall pass, depending on their diameter, through the sliding ramp or will be deviated by said classifying supports (7), in such a manner that once the classification is executed by means of said elements or supports (7), each type of coin shall fall vertically, through respective tubes (8), said tubes being provided with a photodiode which counts the coins passing through each tube (8), which reach wrapping means, after a previous placement of paper foils which carry out the wrapping and the coin rolls, which subsequently fall through respective cylinders (9), logically confronted with the previously indicated tubes (8), in such a manner that said cylinders (9) present their mouth (10) sloped in downward direction and slightly projecting from the front plane of the machine body (1), equipped with rings (11)
- the machine is additionally complemented with legs (12) that are articulated and permit their folding, to allow the abutment of the machine directly onto a surface, such as a table top, or top of a piece of furniture or similar, or else unfold said legs (12) to obtain an increase in height of the machine so that, for example, the coin cartridge-receiver bags remain perfectly suspended and attached by said rings (11) established on the cylinder mouths (9).
- the top part of the machine is workable, and is attached to the bottom part using attachment means (13), whilst it is provided at the front with a door (14) which is workable and closes an internal compartment in which the bags, cables, etc. are kept, whilst at the opposite side, and in correspondence with zone (15), another compartment, not represented, has been provided to house the corresponding electrical feeding battery which permits the machine to operate without need of power from the electrical supply network, since this battery makes the machine capable of working during a few hours in case of breakdown in the electrical power supply network or breakdown due to any circumstances, in such a manner, that the battery zone or compartment, that is to say, in the interior zone (15) of the machine, a micro processor is also included, in which the programme which controls the different configuration options are introduced, as well as the control of the coin receiver deposit compartment or hopper (2), the obstructions, number of coins etc.
- the machine has also been planned to include a heat printer which will logically be housed in the compartment that is enclosed by the front door (14). This printer shall provide
- the machine has also been planned to include a rejected coins receiver deposit compartment, that is to say, false coins or those that are not planned to be counted, classified and packed by the machine in question, since the classification and counting is carried out based on the diameter and thickness of the coins and shall only be planned for a specific number of coin types, which in the present case, and following the embodiment shown, shall be of six diameters or different types of coins.
- a rejected coins receiver deposit compartment that is to say, false coins or those that are not planned to be counted, classified and packed by the machine in question, since the classification and counting is carried out based on the diameter and thickness of the coins and shall only be planned for a specific number of coin types, which in the present case, and following the embodiment shown, shall be of six diameters or different types of coins.
Abstract
Description
The machine is provided at its front with a display where all type of information appears, such as - amount of coins classified, counted, malfunctions, state of the battery, and in general, any type of information related to the operations and services of the machine, since the latter is equipped with a micro processor in which the programme, on which the different configurational options are based, is introduced, programming by means of a keyboard at the front part, which aids the working of the machine.
As has already been indicated, the machine is autonomous, due to which it shall be provided with a battery that is situated inside an internal compartment which is preferably adjacent to the micro processor, additionally equipped with a front compartment with pull-down door, inside of which are receiver bags for the coin rolls, as well as connection cables and other items.
