Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Entgegennahme von im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Einzelblättern nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for receiving substantially rectangular single sheets according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der WO-A-8801599 bekannt. Diese Vorrichtung dient zur Entgegennahme von Einzelblättern, die nacheinander einem Behälter zugeführt und darin gespeichert werden. Das jeweilige Einzelblatt wird von einer vor der Einführöffnung des Behälters angeordneten Vorrichtung gehalten und durch einen in Richtung auf die Einführöffnung verstellbaren Schieber unter Krümmung in den Behälter gedrückt. Die Vorrichtung umfaßt Zuführrollen, zwischen denen das Einzelblatt gehalten wird. Um bei der Vorwärtsbewegung des Schiebers beide Enden des Einzelblattes gleichmäßig zu befördern, sind weitere Vorrichtungen zum Festklemmen des Einzelblattes am Schieber vorgesehen. Die Zuführung erfolgt nacheinander Blatt für Blatt.Such a device is known from WO-A-8801599. This device is used to receive single sheets which are successively fed to a container and stored therein. The respective single sheet is held by a device arranged in front of the insertion opening of the container and is pressed into the container with a curvature by a slide which is adjustable in the direction of the insertion opening. The device comprises feed rollers between which the cut sheet is held. In order to convey both ends of the single sheet evenly during the forward movement of the slide, further devices for clamping the single sheet on the slide are provided. The feed takes place successively sheet by sheet.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine einfach aufgebaute Vorrichtung anzugeben, mit der die Zuführung von Einzelblättern mit hoher Geschwindigkeit erfolgen kann.It is an object of the invention to provide a simply constructed device with which the feeding of single sheets can take place at high speed.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird also nicht Blatt für Blatt in den Behälter eingeführt. Dabei wäre es kaum möglich, die mit großer Geschwindigkeit ankommenden Blätter so in den Behälter zu bringen, daß sie anschließend einen geordneten Stapel bilden. Ist genügend Spiel vorhanden, um die Blätter einzeln in den Behälter einzuführen, so bedeutet dies auch, daß die Blätter umfallen oder verrutschen können. Ist nicht genügend Spiel vorhanden, so gleiten die Blätter nicht bis zum Behälterboden hindurch, sondern bleiben aneinander hängen und lassen sich dann nicht mehr ordnen. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung dagegen wird zunächst auf der Stapelauflagefläche vor dem Behälter ein Stapel gebildet, wo sich die Blätter noch ordnen lassen. Der geordnete Stapel wird dann mit dem Schieber in die für den jeweiligen Blattstapel an sich zu kleine Öffnung gedrückt, so daß der Blattstapel in mindestens einer Richtung gekrümmt wird. Hinter der Einführöffnung streckt sich der Blattstapel wieder, worauf die Blätter fest und in einem geordneten Stapel in dem Behälter stehen.In the solution according to the invention, sheet by sheet is therefore not introduced into the container. It would hardly be possible to bring the sheets arriving at high speed into the container in such a way that they then form an orderly stack. If there is enough play to individually insert the sheets into the container, this also means that the sheets can fall over or slip. If there is not enough play, the sheets do not slide through to the bottom of the container, but remain attached to one another and can then no longer be arranged. In the solution according to the invention, on the other hand, a stack is first formed on the stack support surface in front of the container, where the sheets can still be arranged. The ordered stack is then pushed with the slide into the opening which is too small for the respective stack of sheets, so that the stack of sheets is curved in at least one direction. The stack of sheets extends again behind the insertion opening, whereupon the sheets stand firmly and in an orderly stack in the container.

Für die Verwendung derselben Behälter in einer Blattausgabevorrichtung ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Einführöffnung nicht kleiner ist als die Blattgröße. Um den Behälter nicht ändern zu müssen, ist es daher zweckmäßig, wenn einer der die Einführöffnung begrenzenden und parallel zur Krümmungsachse des jeweiligen Blattstapels gerichteten Ränder mit der Stapelauflagefläche verbunden ist. Gleichzeitig kann dieser Rand als Anlagefläche für den auf der Stapelauflagefläche zu bildenden Stapel dienen. Um dabei die Vorrichtung auf unterschiedliche Blatthöhen einstellen zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Stapelauflagefläche zusammen mit diesem Rand höhenverstellbar angeordnet ist.For the use of the same containers in a sheet dispenser, it is expedient if the insertion opening is not smaller than the sheet size. In order not to have to change the container, it is therefore expedient if one of the edges delimiting the insertion opening and oriented parallel to the axis of curvature of the respective stack of sheets is connected to the stack support surface. At the same time, this edge can serve as a contact surface for the stack to be formed on the stack support surface. To adjust the device to different blade heights To be able to, it is useful if the stack support surface is arranged height-adjustable together with this edge.

Vorzugsweise umfaßt die Stapelvorrichtung zwei an sich bekannte in axialem Abstand voneinander angeordnete Stapelräder, zwischen denen der Schieber angeordnet ist. Der Schieber ist bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform von einer Druckplatte gebildet, die über ein Gelenkgestänge verstellbar ist. Dieses Gelenkgestänge kann raumsparend zusammengefaltet werden, so daß auch bei einem großen Hub des Schiebers nur ein geringer Platz für die Verstelleinrichtung des Schiebers benötigt wird.The stacking device preferably comprises two stacking wheels, known per se, arranged at an axial distance from one another, between which the slide is arranged. In a preferred embodiment, the slide is formed by a pressure plate which is adjustable via a linkage. This linkage can be folded to save space, so that even with a large stroke of the slide, only a small space is required for the adjusting device of the slide.

Um die Blätter in dem Stapel nicht nur in Höhenrichtung, sondern auch in Seitenrichtung zu ordnen, sind erfindungsgemäß beiderseits der Stapelauflagefläche zur Anlage an den Stapelseitenflächen bestimmte Ausrichtorgange vorgesehen. Diese können von walzenförmigen Elementen gebildet sein, die um jeweils eine zur Blattebene der auf der Stapelauflagefläche stehenden Blätter senkrechte Achse gegenläufig drehbar sind, wobei der Drehsinn vorzugsweise so gewählt ist, daß die Blätter gegen die Stapelauflagefläche gedrückt werden. Diese Ausrichtorgane bewirken, daß die Blätter ganz in den Stapel hineingeschoben und so ausgerichtet werden, daß ihre seitlichen Ränder eine einheitliche Blattstapelfläche bilden. Die walzenförmigen Elemente können dabei eine Oberfläche aus einem weich elastischen Material, beispielsweise einem offenzelligen Schaumstoff aufweisen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Ausrichtorgane von Bürstenwalzen gebildet.In order to arrange the sheets in the stack not only in the vertical direction but also in the lateral direction, certain aligning steps are provided according to the invention on both sides of the stack support surface for contacting the stack side surfaces. These can be formed by roller-shaped elements, which can be rotated in opposite directions about an axis perpendicular to the sheet plane of the sheets standing on the stack support surface, the direction of rotation preferably being selected such that the sheets are pressed against the stack support surface. These aligning elements cause the sheets to be pushed all the way into the stack and aligned so that their lateral edges form a uniform sheet stacking surface. The roller-shaped elements can have a surface made of a soft, elastic material, for example an open-cell foam. In a preferred embodiment, the alignment members are formed by brush rollers.

Damit der Blattstapel von dem Schieber weit genug in den Behälter hineingedrückt werden kann, um ein Strecken des Stapels zu ermöglichen, wobei die bereits gestapelten Blätter innerhalb des Behälters nicht umfallen dürfen, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß eine den Blattstapel innerhalb des Behälters stützende Andruckplatte gleichsinnig mit der Bewegung des Schiebers verstellbar ist. Diese Verstellung kann durch eine Antriebsvorrichtung erfolgen oder aber auch dadurch, daß die Andruckplatte durch den die Blätter in den Behälter drückenden Schieber gegen Federkraft verstellt wird.So that the sheet stack can be pushed far enough into the container by the slide to allow the stack to be stretched, the sheets already stacked within the container not being allowed to fall over, it is provided according to the invention that a pressure plate supporting the stack of sheets within the container coexists the movement of the slide is adjustable. This adjustment can be carried out by a drive device or else in that the pressure plate is adjusted against spring force by the slide pushing the leaves into the container.

In Figur 1 ist mit 10 der Tresor eines Banknoteneingabeautomaten bezeichnet, der eine schematisch angedeutete Prüfeinheit 12 für die Banknoten und eine Anzahl von Kassetten 14 einschließt, in denen die in der Prüfeinheit für in Ordnung befundenen Banknoten abgelegt werden können. Unterhalb der Banknotenkassetten 14 befindet sich eine Kassette 16, in der die Banknoten abgelegt werden, die aus irgendwelchen Gründen nicht wieder ausgegeben werden sollen und daher nicht in den Banknotenkassetten 14 abgelegt werden. Zum Transport der Banknoten von der Prüfeinheit 12 zu den Kassetten 14 und 16 dient eine allgemein mit 18 bezeichnete Transportbahn, von der die Banknoten jeweils über Weichen 20 der jeder Kassette 14 zugeordneten Ablagevorrichtung 22 zugeführt werden, die nun im einzelnen anhand der Figuren 2 und 3 näher erläutert wird.In FIG. 1, 10 denotes the safe of an automatic banknote input device, which includes a schematically indicated checking unit 12 for the banknotes and a number of cassettes 14 in which the banknotes found to be in order in the checking unit can be stored. Beneath the banknote cassettes 14 there is a cassette 16 in which the banknotes are stored which, for whatever reason, are not intended to be reissued and therefore are not stored in the banknote cassettes 14. A transport path, generally designated 18, is used to transport the banknotes from the checking unit 12 to the cassettes 14 and 16, from which the banknotes are each fed via switches 20 to the storage device 22 assigned to each cassette 14, which are now described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 is explained in more detail.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Ausschnitt der Transportbahn 18 mit einer Weiche 20 und einen Blattförderer 24, der die über die Weiche ankommenden Banknoten zwei Stapelrädern 26 zuführt, die in einem axialen Abstand voneinander um eine zur Zeichenebene senkrechte Achse 28 drehbar gelagert sind (siehe auch Figur 3). Die Rahmenteile, in denen die Welle der Stapelräder 26 gelagert ist, sind nicht dargestellt. Die Stapelräder 26 greifen dabei in Aussparungen einer Stapelplattform 30, die parallel zum Boden 32 der Kassette 14 gerichtet ist und an ihrem der Einführöffnung 34 der Kassette 14 zugewandten Ende einen hochstehenden Rand 36 aufweist, der in eine zur Einführöffnung 34 hinweisende Schrägfläche 38 ausläuft. Die Stapelplattform 30 ist in nicht dargestellter Weise in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles B höhenverstellbar. Der obere Rand der Einführöffnung 34 wird durch einen Balken 40 begrenzt, der Teil der Kassette 14 ist. Durch eine Höhenverstellung der Stapelplattform 30 kann die Höhe der Einführöffnung 34 so eingestellt werden, daß sie geringer ist als die in der gleichen Richtung gemessene Breite der einzuführenden Geldscheine 42.FIG. 2 shows a section of the transport path 18 with a switch 20 and a sheet conveyor 24, which feeds the banknotes arriving via the switch to two stacking wheels 26, which are rotatably supported at an axial distance from one another about an axis 28 perpendicular to the plane of the drawing (see also FIG. 3) ). The frame parts in which the shaft of the stacking wheels 26 is mounted are not shown. The stacking wheels 26 engage in recesses of a stacking platform 30 which is directed parallel to the bottom 32 of the cassette 14 and has an upstanding edge 36 at its end facing the insertion opening 34 of the cassette 14, which ends in an inclined surface 38 pointing towards the insertion opening 34. The stacking platform 30 is height-adjustable in the direction of the double arrow B, not shown. The upper edge of the insertion opening 34 is delimited by a bar 40 which is part of the cassette 14. By adjusting the height of the stacking platform 30, the height of the insertion opening 34 can be adjusted so that it is less than the width of the banknotes 42 to be inserted measured in the same direction.

Axial außerhalb der Stapelräder 26 sind oberhalb der Stapelplattform 30 zwei Schaumstoff- oder Bürstenwalzen 44 auf zur Vorderseite der Kassette 14 senkrechten Wellen 46 drehbar gelagert. Die Wellen 46 sind an einem Rahmenteil 48 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles C verstellbar gelagert, so daß der gegenseitige Abstand der beiden Walzen auf die jeweilige Breite der auf der Stapelplattform 30 zu stapelnden Banknoten 42 eingestellt werden kann. Die Walzen 44 haben die Aufgabe, durch Schleifen an den seitlichen Rändern der Banknoten 42 diese in Seitenrichtung auszurichten, wobei die Walzen 44 auch exzentrisch gelagert oder rüttelnd angetrieben werden können, um so die Banknoten 42 auf der Stapelplattform 30 in seitlicher Richtung gegeneinander zu verschieben. Vorzugsweise drehen sich dabei die Walzen 44 gegenläufig so, daß sie die Banknoten 42 gegen die Stapelplattform 30 drücken. Der Antrieb der Walzen 44 kann in beliebiger Weise erfolgen und wird beispielsweise von dem Stapelradantrieb über einen nicht dargestellten Riementrieb abgeleitet.Axially outside of the stacking wheels 26, two foam or brush rollers 44 are rotatably mounted above the stacking platform 30 on shafts 46 perpendicular to the front of the cassette 14. The shafts 46 are adjustably mounted on a frame part 48 in the direction of the double arrow C, so that the mutual distance between the two rollers can be adjusted to the respective width of the bank notes 42 to be stacked on the stacking platform 30. The rollers 44 have the task of aligning them in the lateral direction by grinding the lateral edges of the banknotes 42, the rollers 44 also being able to be mounted eccentrically or shaking in order to shift the banknotes 42 on the stacking platform 30 in the lateral direction. The rollers 44 preferably rotate in opposite directions so that they press the banknotes 42 against the stacking platform 30. The rollers 44 can be driven in any manner and are derived, for example, from the stacking wheel drive via a belt drive (not shown).

Zwischen den Stapelrädern 26 ist ein senkrecht zur Vorderseite der Kassette 14 verstellbarer allgemein mit 48 bezeichneterSchieber angeordnet. Dieser besteht aus einer Andruckplatte 50, die mit Hilfe zweier allgemein mit 52 und 54 bezeichneter Kniehebel zwischen der in der Figur 3 durch ausgezogene Linien wiedergegebenen ersten Stellung und der durch strichpunktierte Linien wiedergegebenen zweiten Stellung verstellbar ist. Die Kniehebel 52, 54 bestehen jeweils aus zwei Hebeln 56, 58, die an ihrem einen Ende gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind und mit ihren freien Enden einerseits an der Druckplatte 50 und andererseits am Rahmenteil 49 angelenkt sind. Die Verstellung der Kniehebel erfolgt mit Hilfe einer Kurbelscheibe 60, die einen Zapfen 62 trägt, der in einen in dem Hebel 58 ausgebildeten Schlitz 64 eingreift. Wird die Kurbelscheibe aus der in der Figur 3 dargestellten Stellung im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, so wird der Hebel 58 ebenfalls im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, so daß die Druckplatte 50 in Richtung auf die Einführöffnung 34 der Kassette 14 bewegt wird. Durch die umgekehrte Drehung der Kurbelscheibe 60 wird die Druckplatte 50 wieder zurückgezogen.Arranged between the stacking wheels 26 is a slide, generally 48, which is adjustable perpendicular to the front of the cassette 14. This consists of a pressure plate 50, which with the help of two generally 52 and the designated toggle lever 54 is adjustable between the first position represented by solid lines in FIG. 3 and the second position represented by dash-dotted lines. The toggle levers 52, 54 each consist of two levers 56, 58 which are connected to one another in an articulated manner at their one end and are articulated with their free ends on the one hand on the pressure plate 50 and on the other hand on the frame part 49. The toggle levers are adjusted with the aid of a crank disk 60 which carries a pin 62 which engages in a slot 64 formed in the lever 58. If the crank disk is rotated clockwise from the position shown in FIG. 3, the lever 58 is also pivoted clockwise, so that the pressure plate 50 is moved in the direction of the insertion opening 34 of the cassette 14. The pressure plate 50 is pulled back again by the reverse rotation of the crank disk 60.

Befindet sich nun bei der Bewegung der Druckplatte 50 in Richtung auf die Kassette 14 ein Blattstapel auf der Stapelplattform 30, so wird dieser durch die Einführöffnung 34 hindurchgedrückt, wobei sich der Stapel um die Druckplatte 50 herumkrümmt, da der Rand 36 einerseits und der Balken 40 andererseits die Ränder der Blätter zurückhalten. Gleichzeitig wird dabei der bereits in der Kassette 14 befindliche Stapel 66 mit einer ihn stützenden Andruckplatte 68 in Richtung des Pfeiles D verschoben. Wenn der Schieber 48 das Banknotenpaket soweit in den Behälter 14 hineingedrückt hat, daß sich die umgebogenen Ränder des Banknotenpaketes oder -stapels wieder strecken können, schiebt die Andruckplatte 68 durch Federkraft den gesamten Stapel 66 entgegen der Richtung des Pfeiles D wieder in Richtung auf die Einführöffnung 34, wo der Stapel durch den oberen und unteren Kassettenrand gehalten wird.If there is a stack of sheets on the stacking platform 30 during the movement of the printing plate 50 in the direction of the cassette 14, it is pushed through the insertion opening 34, the stack curving around the printing plate 50 because the edge 36 on the one hand and the bar 40 on the other hand hold back the edges of the leaves. At the same time, the stack 66 already in the cassette 14 is displaced in the direction of arrow D with a pressure plate 68 supporting it. When the slider 48 has pressed the banknote packet so far into the container 14 that the bent edges of the banknote packet or stack can stretch again, the pressure plate 68 pushes the entire stack 66 against the direction of arrow D in the direction of the insertion opening again by spring force 34 where the stack is held by the top and bottom edge of the cassette.
