Definitions

  • the invention relates to an output unit for banknotes, comprising a box-shaped bill container and a frame-shaped receiving module into which the bill box can be inserted and which has a withdrawal and separating device for withdrawing bill through an opening of the bill box.
  • a note container is also known in which the opening in the note container intended for the engagement of the take-off rollers can be closed by a blind.
  • a closure is very complex if it is to function reliably, since the blind elements must be carefully guided at their ends in sliding guides or with rollers and because a reliable drive is required for the opening movement and the closing movement of the blind.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an output unit of the type mentioned with a closure completely covering the opening of the bill container, which is simple and robust in construction and reliable in its function and which also during the insertion of the bill container into the receiving module without manipulation possibilities can be conveniently operated from the outside.
  • the opening of the note container can be closed by a folding flap with at least one first flap part which is pivotably pivoted about a first axis and a second flap part which is pivotably pivoted on the first flap part about a second axis parallel to the first axis is, the two flap parts are each pivotable in opposite directions to each other when opening and closing.
  • the folding flap according to the invention With the folding flap according to the invention, no complex and fault-prone sliding or sliding guides are required. Swivel bearings for the flap parts can be manufactured very sturdy and yet smoothly even if they are robust.
  • the folding movement can be controlled via simple mechanical drives. By folding the two flap parts open, the folding flap according to the invention requires little space during the opening movement and in the open state, so that the opening movement can also take place at a time when the note container has already been pushed so far into the receiving module that access to the container opening is blocked is.
  • This advantage of the folding flap according to the invention is particularly noticeable in an output unit in which the extraction and separating device is arranged at the end thereof facing away from the insertion opening of the receiving module and the opening which can be closed by the folding flap is formed in the front of the note container pointing in the insertion direction, since Appropriate actuation of the folding flap then the note container can be pushed into its operating position as far as it will go without stopping in the receiving module.
  • Which side of the note container the first flap part is articulated will depend on the arrangement of the extraction and singling device in the receiving module and the space available for the opened folding flap.
  • the two flap parts are in the closing position of the folding flap on their side facing the container interior enclose an angle of less than 180 °.
  • the flap parts have a pivoting moment in the opening direction from the outset, and it is generally sufficient to have an actuating device for the folding flap only engage the second flap part.
  • Such a flap actuation device is provided according to the invention in the bill container and can be controlled depending on the displacement path of the bill container in the receiving module.
  • the actuating device controls the opening of the folding flap during the insertion movement and closes the folding flap again when the note receptacle is pulled out of the receiving module.
  • the opening and closing of the folding flap is therefore inevitable in connection with the insertion or extraction movement of the note container.
  • Such control of the actuating device can be carried out in a simple manner in that it has at least one actuator which is adjustable by means of a control curve formed along the insertion path in the receiving module.
  • the folding flap is adjustable by means of two two-armed guide levers which are pivotably mounted on the side walls of the container directed parallel to the direction of insertion, are each articulated with their first lever arm on the second flap part and are each articulated with their second lever arm with an actuator .
  • the guide levers thus form a four-bar joint with the folding flap, which can be easily designed so that the flap can be opened and closed from any position.
  • the actuators are expediently one each formed on the container side wall pivotable about a bottom axis swing arm, which carries on its side facing the container side wall a pin which passes through the container wall in a circular arc around the swing arm axis and is intended to rest on the control curve provided in the receiving module.
  • the articulated connection between the respective rocker and the associated second lever arm of the guide lever is preferably via a double link, so that the guide lever, the double link and the respective rocker form a second four-bar linkage.
  • the folding flap could be opened by manual actuation of the pins projecting from the container side walls, it is expedient to lock the actuators in their position corresponding to the closed position of the folding flap by means of an electromechanical locking device. Unlocking is only possible, for example, when the bill container is inserted into the receiving module, a contact arrangement on the bill container engaging with corresponding mating contacts on the receiving module, so that the electromechanical locking device can then be actuated.
  • This hinged lid is expediently lockable by a bolt which is adjustably arranged within the note container and which is connected via an adjusting lever to one of the actuators in such a way that when the actuator is adjusted between its positions corresponding to the open position or the closed position of the folding flap, between a release position and a blocking position is adjustable.
  • a special loading table with sliding guides is provided for filling the note container, on which the control curves required for controlling the actuating device in the note container are formed, so that the note container can be opened at a suitable place where monitoring of the filling process is possible.
  • the note container can be provided with a storage arrangement for storing an identity code or other data that must be checked before the note container can be pushed into its operating position in the receiving module.
  • this query of the data stored in the note container can take place during the insertion movement.
  • it is expedient if the part of the control curve controlling the opening movement is moved as far as possible to the end of the insertion path. If the folding flap after opening is folded down, practically no opening forces can be applied by the actuating device. Rather, the opening movement is supported by gravity.
  • the branch of the control cam having the opening movement can be directed relatively steeply to the insertion direction, so that only a short part of the insertion path is required for the opening movement of the folding flap.
  • a closing force must be applied during the closing movement. It is therefore expedient to make the part of the control cam that controls the closing movement flatter. Since the closing movement of the folding flap can quietly extend over a longer part of the pull-out path of the note container, the flat design of the control curve controlling the closing movement is irrelevant.
  • the dispensing unit is used to set up automated teller machines, with several such dispensing units being arranged one above the other in order to be able to provide different types of bank notes.
  • the output unit comprises a receiving module, generally designated 12, which is indicated only schematically, for a note container, generally designated 14.
  • the receiving module 12 is in the form of a rectangular shaft with side walls 16, a bottom part 18 and a ceiling part 20 (FIG. 3). Instead of a continuous bottom part 18 or a continuous ceiling part 20, connecting rods or the like can also be provided in order to connect the two side walls 16 to one another.
  • take-off rollers 22 are rotatably mounted between the side walls 16 about an axis perpendicular to the side walls 16, which, in the position of the note container 14 shown in FIG. 1, plunge into the note container 14 through a front opening 24 in order to to promote the bank notes stacked in the container 14 upwards in the direction of a separating device 26, which consists in a known manner of transport rollers 28 and of counter-rotating rollers 30 cooperating therewith, which are driven in the same direction of rotation as the transport rollers 28.
  • a separating device 26 which consists in a known manner of transport rollers 28 and of counter-rotating rollers 30 cooperating therewith, which are driven in the same direction of rotation as the transport rollers 28.
  • the insert module 12 is open, so that through this opening the bill container 14 can be inserted in the direction of arrow A on slide rails 32 arranged on the side walls 16 of the insert module.
  • the container 14 has a cuboid shape and comprises two side walls 34, a bottom 36 and a rear wall 38, all of which walls are rigidly connected to one another.
  • the top of the container 14 can be closed by a lid 40 which can be pivoted to one of the side walls 34 or the rear wall 38 or can be completely removable.
  • the front side of the container 14 opposite the rear wall 38 can be closed by a folding flap, generally designated 42 (FIG. 2).
  • the folding flap 42 comprises a first flap part 44 which is pivotably articulated about a parallel axis 46 on the bottom 36 of the container 14. At the edge opposite the axis 46, a second flap part 48 is articulated on the first flap part 44 so as to be pivotable about an axis 50.
  • the two flap parts 44 and 48 can be formed by solid plates which are connected to one another in an articulated manner by a hinge attached to their inner sides.
  • the second flap part 48 has on its edge adjacent to the first flap part 44 an angled section 52 which, when the folding flap 42 is closed, covers the joint between the two flap parts 44 and 48 (FIG. 2).
  • the front edges of the side walls 34 of the container 14 have a vertical lower first section 54 and an upper second section 56 inclined towards the rear wall 38. Accordingly, the flap parts 44 and 48 of the folding flap 42 assume a position in the closed position of the flap 42, in which they enclose an angle of less than 180 ° with one another on their side facing the container interior (FIG. 2).
  • the folding flap 42 is adjustable between its open position and its closed position by means of an actuating device arranged inside the container 14, which will now be explained in more detail below.
  • the actuating device comprises lever mechanisms arranged on both sides of the container 14, which are mirror images, so that only one of the lever mechanisms is described.
  • the upper flap part 48 is articulated on both sides to a lever arm 58 of a V-shaped two-arm guide lever 60, which is mounted on the side wall 34 in the region of its V apex around an axis 62 perpendicular to the side wall 34.
  • the other lever arm 64 is connected in an articulated manner to one end of a double link 66, a pin 68 arranged on the lever arm 64 engaging in a slot-shaped elongated hole 70 in the double link 66.
  • the folding flap 42 can assume the two positions indicated by solid or dash-dotted lines in FIG. 1 with all other levers otherwise in the same position.
  • the half-open position represented by solid lines is assumed by the folding flap 42 in the receiving module 12, since the space underneath is already required for the trigger and transport mechanism of the module 12 underneath.
  • the folded flap 42 assumes its fully open position, shown by dashed lines on the other hand, for example, in the loading table, so that here the front opening 24 is fully open for the entry of banknotes or maintenance measures.
  • the double link 66 is hinged at its end remote from the guide lever 60 to a triangular rocker 72 about an axis 74.
  • the rocker 72 is pivotally mounted near a triangular corner about a shaft 76 near the ground in the side walls 34.
  • the shaft 76 extends over the entire width of the container 14, so that the two rockers 72 are arranged on the same shaft 76.
  • the rocker 72 On its side facing the side wall 34, the rocker 72 carries a pin 78 which projects out of the container 14 through a slot 80 in the side wall 34 which is curved in the shape of an arc around the shaft 76. When the container 14 is pushed in, this pin 78 engages in a link 82 which is arranged on the inside of the corresponding side wall 16 of the receiving module 10.
  • the link 82 comprises a control curve 84 controlling the opening movement of the folding flap 42 and a control curve 86 controlling the closing movement of the folding flap 42. As can be seen in FIG. 1, these two control curves do not run parallel. If the container 14 is inserted into the receiving module 10, the pivoting movement of the rocker 72 and thus the opening movement of the folding flap 42 begins with the start of the increase in the control curve 84, which then rises steeply from this starting point, so that the opening movement of the folding flap 42 increases a relatively short section of the insertion path is completed.
  • the late start of the opening movement has the purpose of gaining enough time to be able to query the data required for the identification of the container 14 while the container 14 is being inserted into the receiving module 10 and, if necessary, to be able to use a To prevent locking device, not shown, from further insertion when the query shows that the container 14 does not fit into the relevant receiving module 10.
  • the steep increase in the control curve 84 is insignificant during the opening movement of the folding flap 42, since the actuating device for the opening of the folding flap 42 has to exert practically no forces.
  • the folding flap 42 falls into its open position due to gravity, and the levers connected to it allow this.
  • the cam 86 controlling the closing movement is designed to be substantially flatter so that it also extends to a point closer to the insertion end of the module 10.
  • the guide lever 60 with its first lever arm 58 and the flap parts 44, 48 forms a first four-bar linkage and with its second lever arm 64, the double link 66 and the rocker 72 forms a second four-bar linkage.
  • This second four-bar linkage 72 makes it possible to reduce the relatively large pivoting angle of the guide lever 60 between its two end positions into a smaller pivoting angle of the rocker 72, so that the control path for the pin 78 can also be shorter. This makes it possible to first guide the pin 78 in a straight line before an opening movement of the folding flap 42 is initiated.
  • the rocker 72 can be locked in the closed position of the folding flap 42 (FIG. 2).
  • a locking lever 90 is pivotally mounted on the side walls 34 about an axis 88 close to the ground and, in the locking position, engages behind a pin 94 fastened to the rocker 72 with a lug 92.
  • the locking lever 90 can be pivoted via a pull rod 96 articulated thereon, which can be adjusted in the direction of the double arrow B by an electromagnet 98.
  • the electromagnet 98 is arranged in a rear section of the container 14, where it does not significantly impair the use of the container interior.
  • a locking bar 100 is used, which is slidably mounted on the side wall 34 by means of elongated pin guides 102, 104 parallel to the cover 40 and which has two cutouts 106, 108 into which pins 110 and 112 can engage, which are connected to tabs connected to the cover 40 114, 116 are attached, which are immersed in the container 14 when the lid 40 is closed.
  • the locking bar 100 is displaced by a two-armed angle lever 118, which is pivotably mounted about an axis 120 on a side wall 34 and has a fork opening 124 on its one lever arm, into which a pin 126 connected to the locking bar 100 engages.
  • the other lever arm of the angle lever 118 has a long hole 128 in which a pin 130 attached to the rocker 72 engages.
  • each rocker 72 connects each rocker 72 to a link lever 132, which is directed towards the opening 24 of the container 14 and has a slot-shaped link 134 into which a pin 136 attached to the side wall 34 engages.
  • the two link levers 132 hold a parallel to the axis of the take-off rollers 22, in profile trapezoidal rigid rod 138 which is pushed out of the container 14 in the open position so that it engages in the gap between the take-off rollers 22 and the transport rollers 28.
  • the position of the rod 38 is such that the banknotes conveyed by the take-off rollers 22 are guided between the rod 138 and the upper edge 140 of the opening 24 to the separating device 26.
  • any banknotes which are still present at the roller nip of the separating device 26 and thus protrude from the container 14 must be pulled back into the latter. This is done by the rod 138, which is guided during the closing movement of the rocker 72 due to the shape of the link 134 so that it is pulled back past the upper edge 140 of the opening 24 into the container 14, with the possibly still outstanding banknotes pulls the container 14 into it. This allows the folding flap 42 to be closed without any banknotes possibly protruding from the flap.
  • the container 14 is an outer part consisting of the two walls 34, the bottom 36, the rear wall 38, the lid 40 and the folding flap 42 and one Has inner part, which comprises parallel to the side walls 34 and a side wall 142 arranged vertically adjustable on this, the side walls 34 of the outer part and the side walls 142 of the inner part include the lever mechanism for actuating the folding flap 42 between them.
  • the inner part is used to hold a stack of notes.
