Abstract

The system has coins or tokens collecting receptacles (4) connected to a box (5) using conduits (6) permitting the passage of coins or tokens. Each conduit is provided with an integral passage valve (7) that is controlled by a pressurized control fluid to open or close the conduit in order to open or block the passage for coins or tokens. The control fluid is derived from fluid that is utilized in a center for washing vehicles.

Description

La présente invention concerne un système d'aspiration de monnaie, plus particulièrement conçu pour des centres de lavage de véhicules dotés d'une ou plusieurs pistes de lavage comportant chacune un boîtier de paiement muni d'un réceptacle de récupération de la monnaie sous forme de pièces ou jetons. Ledit réceptacle est ensuite relié à un contenant sécurisé, par exemple un coffre disposé dans le local technique du centre de lavage, qui centralise le cas échéant le stockage de la monnaie.The present invention relates to a coin suction system, more particularly designed for vehicle washing centers equipped with one or more washing tracks each comprising a payment box provided with a recovery receptacle of the currency in the form of coins or tokens. Said receptacle is then connected to a secure container, for example a safe disposed in the technical room of the washing center, which centralizes the storage of the currency if necessary.

Les liaisons entre le réceptacle de récupération et le contenant central s'effectuent par un conduit muni d'une vanne à passage intégral de type vanne à manchon commandée par la pression d'un fluide de commande entre deux états respectivement d'ouverture et de fermeture du conduit. Cette vanne est placée en amont d'une turbomachine d'aspiration dont la puissance est calculée pour propulser la monnaie du réceptacle vers le coffre.The connections between the recovery receptacle and the central container are effected by a conduit provided with a valve-type integral flow valve controlled by the pressure of a control fluid between two states respectively of opening and closing. duct. This valve is placed upstream of a suction turbine engine whose power is calculated to propel the currency of the receptacle to the trunk.

Dans la plupart des configurations, pour des raisons économiques, la puissance de la turbomachine ne permet en général qu'un fonctionnement séquentiel des différents canaux, c'est-à-dire des différents conduits du circuit d'aspiration menant du local central à chaque piste.In most configurations, for economic reasons, the power of the turbomachine generally allows only sequential operation of the different channels, that is to say the different ducts of the suction circuit leading from the central to each track.

Un automate se charge de la sélection de la piste, et par conséquent de la sélection du réceptacle de récupération de la monnaie qui l'équipe, à l'aide d'un circuit de pilotage gérant l'ouverture ou la fermeture des vannes d'aspiration par modification de la pression dans leur circuit de commande.An automaton takes care of the selection of the track, and consequently of the selection of the recovery receptacle of the currency which equips it, by means of a control circuit managing the opening or the closing of the valves of suction by changing the pressure in their control circuit.

Les vannes les plus généralement utilisées sont des vannes à manchon : sous la pression, un manchon dans un tube coaxial au conduit d'aspiration ferme le passage à l'air aspiré et empêche dès lors le passage des pièces de monnaie et des jetons en direction du coffre ou contenant de centralisation.The most commonly used valves are pinch valves: under pressure, a sleeve in a tube coaxial with the suction line closes the passage to the air sucked and therefore prevents the passage of coins and tokens in the direction of the chest or container of centralization.

La pression de commande du manchon est actuellement réalisée par de l'air comprimé. Cet air est obtenu via un système de production et de régulation comprenant classiquement un compresseur, un régulateur de pression, des filtres, etc... Or, dans un centre de lavage, on dispose en permanence d'un fluide comprimé, en l'occurrence de l'eau, dont les propriétés permettent d'envisager l'utilisation dans ce type d'application en remplacement de l'air.The control pressure of the sleeve is currently achieved by compressed air. This air is obtained via a production and control system conventionally comprising a compressor, a pressure regulator, filters, etc ... Now, in a washing center, there is permanently available a compressed fluid, in the occurrence of water, whose properties allow to consider the use in this type of application to replace the air.

Le système d'aspiration de monnaie selon la présente invention utilise cette possibilité, et le fluide commandant l'état de chaque vanne d'aspiration consiste dès lors en de l'eau sous pression dérivée de celle qui est utilisée dans le centre pour le lavage des véhicules.The coin suction system according to the present invention uses this possibility, and the fluid controlling the state of each suction valve therefore consists of pressurized water derived from that used in the center for washing. cars.

Les avantages sont multiples. En premier lieu, un système sans compression d'air, c'est-à-dire sans compresseur, est beaucoup moins bruyant lors du fonctionnement, évitant des nuisances sonores aux alentours des centres de lavage. Un tel compresseur étant au surplus à installer en plus des composants stricto sensu nécessités par le centre de lavage, son coût vient s'ajouter à celui des éléments utiles à la fonction première du centre, avec une incidence économique évidemment défavorable, encore aggravée par sa consommation propre.The benefits are multiple. Firstly, a system without air compression, that is to say without compressor, is much less noisy during operation, avoiding noise around the washing centers. Since such a compressor is moreover to be installed in addition to the components strictly required by the washing center, its cost is added to that of the elements useful for the primary function of the center, with an economic impact obviously unfavorable, further aggravated by its own consumption.

A l'inverse, l'absence de compresseur entraîne de facto une consommation d'énergie plus faible, rendant le système dans son ensemble plus économique.Conversely, the lack of compressor de facto leads to lower energy consumption, making the system as a whole more economical.

Enfin, l'encombrement du circuit de compression est loin d'être négligeable, et l'absence de compresseur joue un rôle favorable par exemple dans une perspective de gestion de l'espace au niveau du local technique.Finally, the size of the compression circuit is far from negligible, and the absence of compressor plays a favorable role for example in a space management perspective at the technical room.

En fait, selon l'invention, une fraction de l'eau sous pression est dérivée vers un circuit de commande hydraulique de la ou des vannes du circuit d'aspiration, lequel comporte une ou des électrovannes de pilotage disposées en parallèle, en nombre égal à celui desdites vannes d'aspiration, et pilotant chacune l'état d'une seule vanne.In fact, according to the invention, a fraction of the pressurized water is diverted to a hydraulic control circuit of the suction circuit valve (s), which comprises one or more pilot electrovalves arranged in parallel, in equal numbers. to that of said suction valves, and each driving the state of a single valve.

Les électrovannes de pilotage ont donc une fonction de sélection, rendue nécessaire par la puissance de la turbomachine installée, qui n'autorise en tout état de cause pas le fonctionnement simultané de plusieurs voies d'aspiration.Pilot solenoid valves thus have a selection function, made necessary by the power of the installed turbine engine, which does not allow in any case not the simultaneous operation of several suction paths.

Le circuit de commande hydraulique comporte de plus, en amont de la ou des électrovannes, un réducteur de pression.The hydraulic control circuit further comprises, upstream of the or solenoid valves, a pressure reducer.

Les centres de lavage actuels obéissent en effet à deux types de conception. Dans un premier cas, l'eau utilisée dans le centre est stockée dans des bacs tampons, puis réintroduite dans le circuit via une pompe, afin de palier un éventuel manque d'eau en provenance du réseau lors des pics d'utilisation.The current washing centers obey two types of design. In the first case, the water used in the center is stored in bins buffers, then reintroduced into the circuit via a pump, to overcome a possible lack of water from the network during peak usage.

Selon une seconde hypothèse, l'eau utilisée est directement celle du réseau urbain, sans stockage intermédiaire.According to a second hypothesis, the water used is directly that of the urban network, without intermediate storage.

Dans les deux cas, la pression à laquelle elle est utilisée, soit en provenance du réseau, soit en aval de la pompe, est trop importante pour le circuit de commande des vannes d'aspiration. Il est donc nécessaire d'implanter un réducteur de pression immédiatement en aval de la dérivation conduisant au circuit secondaire de commande desdites vannes.In both cases, the pressure at which it is used, either from the network or downstream of the pump, is too great for the control circuit of the suction valves. It is therefore necessary to implement a pressure reducer immediately downstream of the branch leading to the secondary control circuit of said valves.

De préférence, un manomètre est en outre disposé en aval du réducteur de pression, afin de vérifier que la pression utilisée pour la commande des vannes d'aspiration est correcte et compatible avec le fonctionnement des électrovannes de pilotage.Preferably, a manometer is further disposed downstream of the pressure reducer, to verify that the pressure used for the control of the suction valves is correct and compatible with the operation of the pilot solenoid valves.

Dans la première hypothèse de conception des centres de lavage, celle qui fonctionne à l'aide d'un système de stockage, l'eau sous pression utilisée pour le pilotage des vannes du circuit d'aspiration est envoyée à destination d'un ou plusieurs bacs tampons de récupération d'eau, à la fin de chaque cycle d'aspiration. De la sorte, l'eau de pilotage des vannes est réutilisable.In the first design hypothesis of the washing centers, the one that operates using a storage system, the pressurized water used for controlling the valves of the suction circuit is sent to one or more buffer bins for water recovery, at the end of each suction cycle. In this way, the pilot water of the valves is reusable.

L'invention va à présent être décrite plus en détail, en référence aux figures annexées, pour lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une représentation schématique d'un système d'aspiration de monnaie selon l'invention, dans une configuration de station de lavage disposant d'un système de stockage de l'eau ;
  • la figure 2 reproduit le schéma de la figure 1, dans une configuration de station de lavage dépourvue de système de stockage de l'eau.
The invention will now be described in more detail, with reference to the appended figures, for which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a coin suction system according to the invention, in a car wash configuration having a water storage system;
  • Figure 2 reproduces the diagram of Figure 1, in a car wash configuration without a water storage system.

En référence à la figure 1, chaque piste de lavage de véhicules est dotée d'un boîtier de paiement (1), lui-même muni d'un système de récupération de monnaie (2) comportant un monnayeur (3) et un réceptacle (4) de récupération de pièces ou jetons.Referring to FIG. 1, each vehicle wash track is provided with a payment box (1), itself equipped with a money recovery system (2) comprising a coin mechanism (3) and a receptacle ( 4) recovery of coins or tokens.

Ce dernier est relié à un coffre (5) centralisant la monnaie au moyen d'un conduit (6) permettant le passage des jetons ou des pièces de monnaie. Le conduit (6) est muni d'une vanne à passage intégral (7), par exemple à manchon.The latter is connected to a chest (5) centralizing the currency by means of a conduit (6) allowing the passage of tokens or coins. The conduit (6) is provided with a full-bore valve (7), for example with a sleeve.

Comme mentionné auparavant, ces vannes (7), lorsqu'elles sont commandées par un fluide de pilotage sous pression, permettent l'ouverture ou la fermeture du conduit (6), de manière à ouvrir ou à obstruer le passage pour les pièces ou les jetons en provenance du réceptacle (4).As mentioned previously, these valves (7), when they are controlled by a piloting fluid under pressure, allow the opening or closing of the duct (6), so as to open or obstruct the passage for parts or chips from the receptacle (4).

Une turbomachine (8) commande l'aspiration de la monnaie, et elle est de ce fait située en série avec chaque conduit (6), et par conséquent en aval de la jonction entre les conduits (6), et en amont et à proximité immédiate du coffre (5).A turbomachine (8) controls the aspiration of the coin, and is therefore in series with each duct (6), and therefore downstream of the junction between the ducts (6), and upstream and nearby immediate chest (5).

Le circuit de commande comporte des électrovannes (9) de pilotage situées sur des branches disposées en parallèle, en nombre correspondant à celui des vannes (7) à passage intégral qu'elles doivent pouvoir piloter individuellement.The control circuit comprises piloting solenoid valves (9) situated on branches arranged in parallel, in number corresponding to that of the valves (7) with integral passage that they must be able to drive individually.

Le circuit de commande est en fait une dérivation du réseau d'eau (10) du centre de lavage, et il comporte en outre un réducteur de pression (11) situé en aval de ladite dérivation. Entre ledit réducteur (11) et les électrovannes (9), un manomètre (14) permet de contrôler la pression de pilotage des vannes (7), pression qui est en l'espèce par conséquent inférieure à celle qui est nécessaire dans le circuit d'eau du centre de lavage (10), et qui provient de bacs (13) de stockage de liquide.The control circuit is actually a bypass of the water network (10) of the washing center, and it further comprises a pressure reducer (11) located downstream of said branch. Between said gear (11) and the solenoid valves (9), a pressure gauge (14) makes it possible to control the piloting pressure of the valves (7), which pressure is in this case therefore lower than that which is necessary in the control circuit. water from the washing center (10), which comes from tanks (13) for storing liquid.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant : lorsque l'automate pilotant le centre de lavage entame un cycle d'aspiration des pièces de monnaie et jetons stockés au niveau des différentes boîtes de paiement (1) pour les centraliser dans le coffre à monnaie (5), il procède séquentiellement. L'un après l'autre, les conduits (6) sont ouverts par commande de l'électrovanne de pilotage (9) correspondante, de manière à permettre le passage de la monnaie du réceptacle (4) vers le coffre (5). La turbomachine (8) est évidemment préalablement mise en action.The operation is as follows: when the automaton controlling the washing center starts a suction cycle of the coins and tokens stored at the different payment boxes (1) to centralize them in the coin box (5), it proceeds sequentially. One after the other, the ducts (6) are opened by controlling the corresponding piloting solenoid valve (9), so as to allow the passage of the currency of the receptacle (4) to the trunk (5). The turbomachine (8) is obviously put into action beforehand.

Dans la configuration montrée en figure 1, le centre de lavage est muni d'un système de stockage de l'eau, et comporte par conséquent des bacs tampons (13). A l'issue de chaque cycle d'aspiration, l'eau du circuit de commande est alors envoyée par les électrovannes de pilotage à destination d'un bac tampon (13). L'eau qui y est stockée est ensuite réinjectée dans le réseau d'eau (10) au moyen d'une pompe (12).In the configuration shown in Figure 1, the washing center is provided with a water storage system, and therefore comprises buffer tanks (13). At the end of each suction cycle, the water of the control circuit is then sent by the pilot solenoid valves to a buffer tank (13). The water stored therein is then reinjected into the water network (10) by means of a pump (12).

Dans la configuration de la figure 2, le système d'aspiration des pièces de monnaie et jetons est identique au précédent, la seule différence résidant dans la configuration du centre de lavage, qui ne comporte en l'espèce pas de système de stockage / récupération d'eau. Dans ce cas, le réseau d'eau (10) du centre de lavage est basé sur une arrivée d'eau du réseau urbain, à partir de laquelle se fait également la dérivation du système de commande des vannes d'aspiration (7). L'eau du circuit de commande, à l'issue des cycles d'aspiration, est alors rejetée de la même manière que les eaux usées du centre de lavage de véhicule.In the configuration of Figure 2, the suction system for coins and tokens is identical to the previous one, the only difference residing in the configuration of the washing center, which does not include in this case no storage / recovery system of water. In this case, the water network (10) of the washing center is based on a water supply of the urban network, from which is also derived the control system of the suction valves (7). The water from the control circuit, at the end of the suction cycles, is then rejected in the same way as the wastewater from the vehicle washing center.

Dans les deux cas, l'existence d'un réducteur de pression (11) s'impose car la pression du réseau d'eau urbain d'une part, ou en aval de la pompe (12) extrayant l'eau des bacs (13) d'autre part, est trop importante pour la commande des vannes à manchon (7), et risquerait de les abîmer, ou de les user prématurément.In both cases, the existence of a pressure reducer (11) is necessary because the pressure of the urban water network on the one hand, or downstream of the pump (12) extracting water tanks (13) on the other hand, is too important for the control of the pinch valves (7), and may damage them or wear them prematurely.
