Definitions
- the invention relates to a turning device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for its operation and use thereof. Such turning devices are advantageously used in banknote sorting systems.
- Sheet-shaped goods such as banknotes, documents or printed sheets in general are orientable sheet-shaped goods with a front and back, at least one side of which is printed with a predetermined pattern. These sheet-like goods fall z.
- B. in manual or at newer automatic acceptance points for banknotes in stacks, which are arranged in the outer form, but are disordered with respect to the pattern. On the other hand, keep B. banks the notes in bundles with a predetermined orientation of the pattern.
- DE-OS 35 44 880 A1 describes a device which directs banknotes or the like, regardless of the orientation at the entrance, through a transport system in such a way that, at the exit, it delivers all banknotes, for example with the reverse side facing downward.
- the transport system has a conveyor section that can only be reversed in the running direction.
- a test station is known from US Pat. No. 4,319,137 which determines the authenticity and the orientation of a printed sheet-like material which is oriented in the reading plane of the test station only according to the outer shape and is transported by means of endless belts.
- the goods assessed as genuine may also have samples from a predetermined set.
- a sorting device is also known from DE-OS 38 12 005 A1, in which sheet-like goods are deposited in predetermined stacking compartments.
- the invention has for its object to provide a turning device that takes an orientable sheet-like material from a device, gently and quickly turns it into a predetermined position and passes it on to another device, and to specify a method for its operation.
- 1 means a turning device, 2 an input and 3 an output of the turning device 1, 4 a test station, 5 a switch, 6 a belt conveyor, 7 a first and 8 a second branch, 9 a first and 10 a second branch and 11 a trunk of the branch 7 or 8, 12 a waiting station with a transport path 13 and with mouths 14 or 15 and 16 a turning axis for rotating the waiting station 12.
- a conveyor consists of a first arm 17 and a second arm 18 and an opening 19 in which the two arms 17 and 18 are brought together and open together in the exit 3.
- the transport devices to the turning device 1 consist, for example, of an arrangement of endless belts, rollers, electric motors and guide plates, as well as other elements known from conveyor technology.
- the rollers all rotate around axes that are perpendicular to the drawing plane.
- These belts, rollers and guide plates form the belt conveyor 6, the switch 5, the branches 7 and 8, the transport path 13 and the conveyor device consisting of the parts 17 to 19. They transport a sheet-like good 21, which is clamped between belts running in parallel, from the entrance 2 via the waiting station 12 to the exit 3, the control device 20 taking one of the predetermined routes of the good 21 through the turning station 1 as a function of that determined in the test station 4 Position status of the good 21 selects.
- the control device 20 and the test station 4 are apparatuses assigned to the turning device 1, which are only shown in the drawing in FIG. 1 so that the operation of the turning device 1 is more understandable.
- the switch 5 has a drive device influenced by the control device 20, e.g. B. an electric motor, an electric pull magnet, etc., which changes the path of the good 21 in the switch 5 from the entrance 2 to one of the two mouths 14 and 15.
- the control device 20 e.g. B. an electric motor, an electric pull magnet, etc.
- the belt conveyor 6 runs from the test station 4 through the entrance 2 to the switch 5 and divides there into the branches 22 and 23.
- Each branch 22 or 23 leads via the first branch 9 of the branch 7 or 8 into the trunk 11.
- an arm 17 or 18 of the conveying device leads to one of the two inlets of the junction 19, which opens into exit 3.
- the waiting station 12 is in one of the two in FIG Quiet positions drawn.
- the transport path 13 has a symmetrical arrangement in relation to the turning axis 16 in the waiting station 12, wherein it is, for example, U-shaped in the section shown.
- the two mouths 14 and 15 of the transport path 13 are arranged on a wall 24 of the waiting station 12.
- the wall 24 is perpendicular to the turning axis 16 and separates the transport path 13 from the two trunks 11 of the branches 7 and 8.
- the transport path 13 is equipped with a sensor 25 which detects the presence of the goods 21 z. B. in an optical or mechanical manner.
- the sensor 25 is connected to the control device 20 by a signal line and transmits its presence to it by means of an electrical signal.
- the sensor 25 is arranged at a point bisecting the length of the transport path 13, the length of the transport path 13 being approximately two to three times the dimension of the predetermined longest good 21 in the transport direction.
- the transport path 13 has a drive 26 which can be reversed in the running direction.
- the control device 20 is electrically connected to the drive 26 via lines, switches the drive 26 on or off and determines its running direction.
- the transport path 13 can thus transport the goods 21 both in the direction from the mouth 14 to the mouth 15 or also vice versa or stop the goods 21 as soon as the sensor 25 detects the presence of the goods 21.
- Each trunk 11 in one of the two rest positions of the waiting station 12 is aligned with one of the two mouths 14 and 15 of the transport path 13 in such a way that a transition from each trunk 11 into the transport path 13 and vice versa takes place for the good 21 in both rest positions of the waiting station 12 is possible.
- the branch 7 or 8 is designed such that the material 21 coming from the first branch 9 is guided into the trunk 11 and from there through the mouth 14 or 15 into the transport path 13. Conversely, the material 21 always leaves the branch 7 or 8, which comes from the mouth 14 or 15 through the trunk 11 into the branch 7 or 8, always via its second branch 10 and is taken over by the arm 17 or 18 of the conveying device .
- the belt conveyor 6 transports the sheet-like good 21 flat from the reading plane of the test station 4 through the entrance 2 to the switch 5.
- the test station 4 recognizes its pattern during the passage of the good 21, for example by means of optical or magnetic scanning on one or both sides of the sheet-like good 21 and compares at least one pattern with a set of predetermined patterns stored in the test station 4.
- the test station 4 determines the position of the goods 21 in the test station 4 and sends one of the position signals corresponding to the four possible position states to the control device 20.
- the control device 20 is transmitted an error signal instead of the position signal, since this good 21 does not meet the requirements specified in the predetermined set of patterns and must be discarded as an unidentified good, for example as an unprinted or damaged sheet, a sheet with a foreign or forged imprint, etc.
- test station 4 measures its dimensions as an additional property of the good 21 and also sends this control result to the control device 20.
- the good 21 has an easily recognizable shape that is sufficient for orientation, such as the well-known punched card with a cut corner.
- the test station 4 only has to carry out a determination of the shape in order to obtain a signal sufficient for determining the position.
- the control device 20 processes the signals of the test device 4 and by means of a command signal sets the switch 5 in the corresponding position so that the belt conveyor 6 transports the goods 21 from the input 2 by means of the switch 5 through one of the branches 22 and 23 into the first branch 9 of the branch 7 and 8, respectively.
- the transport path 13 takes over the good 21 and conveys it to the sensor 25.
- the sensor 25 sends a presence signal to the control device 20.
- the control device 20 decides on the further path of the good 21 through the turning device 1 as a function of the position or error signal.
- both sides of the good 21 must be checked for unambiguous identification.
- the control device 20 actuates the elements 5, 12 and 13 of the turning device 1 as a function of one of the four states, so that the goods 21 are output at the outlet 3 in a predetermined orientation, regardless of their position at the inlet 2.
- the goods 21 in state 1 or 5 are steered by the control device 20 by means of the switch 5 via one branch 7 or 8 into the transport path 13 and leave the waiting station 12 without stop over the other junction 8 or 7.
- the good 21 in state 2 is steered by the control device 20 by means of the switch 5 via one branch 7 or 8 in the transport path 13 to the sensor 25 and stopped there.
- the waiting station 12 then rotates in a 180 ° step around the turning axis 16.
- the goods 21 remain in the transport path 13 until the waiting station 12 has assumed the other rest position. Then the good 21 leaves the waiting station 12 via the other branch 8 or 7.
- the goods 21 in state 3 or 4 are steered by the control device 20 by means of the switch 5 via the branch 7 or 8 in the transport path 13 to the sensor 25 and stopped there. Only when the good has the state 3 does the waiting station 12 rotate in a 180 ° step around the turning axis 16. The good 21 remains in the transport path 13 until the waiting station 12 has assumed the other rest position. This rotation does not take place for a good 21 in state 4. The running direction of the drive 26 is then reversed, and the goods 21 leave the waiting station 12 via the same branch 7 or 8.
- the conveyor device consisting of parts 17 to 19 transports the goods 21 to the exit 3.
- Unidentified goods are advantageously sorted out before or in the switch 5 in order not to burden the turning device 1 with them.
- the switch 5 is designed as a three-way switch which ejects the unidentified goods into a container via a third path, not shown here.
- control device 20 monitors the progress of the goods 21 through the turning device 1.
- One of these sensors is advantageously mounted in each trunk 11. As soon as the front edge of the goods 21 reaches the sensor during the transport of the goods 21 in the direction of the waiting station 12, the control device 20 switches on the drive 26, the selected running direction of the transport path 13 corresponding to the transport direction of the goods 21.
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the waiting station 12.
- this embodiment has a W-shaped transport path 13 and two sensors 25 and 25 '. Both sensors 25, 25 'are connected to the control device 20 and transmit a presence signal if the good 21 is under one of the sensors 25, 25'.
- the control device 20 interrupts the run of the drive 26 in this embodiment only when both sensors 25 and 25 'have given a presence signal for the same good 21.
- At least one pair of partially parallel endless belts 27, 27 'in one plane forms the transport path 13.
- Each pair is formed from an outer belt 27 and an inner belt 27'.
- Each band 27, 27 ' is guided on the side facing away from the good 21 via pulleys 28.
- the belts 27, 27 ' are advantageous drive belts advantageous in terms of drive technology, at least one of the deflection rollers 28 being designed as a toothed wheel engaging in the toothed belt.
- the side facing the good 21 of both belts 27 and 27 ' is smooth and coated with a material with high static friction such as. B. rubber. To redirect the Transport path 13, this smooth side is guided exclusively over polished cylinders 29.
- paired guide rails 30 prevent the good 21 from wrapping around the cylinder 29.
- the deflecting rollers 28 have a smaller diameter than the cylinders 29, with only one element having the reference numbers 28 and 29, respectively, for reasons of clarity. For the same reason, only one of the three pairs of guide rails 30 shown is designated by the reference number.
- the material 21 passes through one of the two mouths 14 and 15 in the wall 24 into the waiting station 12 and is detected by the two belts 27, 27 'and gently transported between them to the second sensor 25' or 25.
- the drive 26 advantageously drives by means of endless belts (not shown here) of each belt 27, 27 'via at least one deflection roller 28, the use of toothed belts permitting high accelerations or decelerations of the goods 21.
- the direction of rotation of the waiting station 12 about the turning axis 16 is advantageously changed between the turning operations, so that the lines, not shown, for the drive 26 and the sensors 25, 25 'do not wrap around the turning axis 16 and therefore do not have an expensive arrangement instead of the cheap lines repair-prone sliding contact rings must be used.
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the turning device 1 with a lower overall height.
- the waiting station 12 is arranged between the trunk 11 of the two branches 7, 8.
- the transport path 13 is straight, requires no cylinders 29 (FIG. 2) and fewer deflection rollers 28 (FIG. 3). It contains the turning axis 16 as its longitudinal symmetry axis.
- the planes of the mouths 14, 15 at both ends of the transport path 13 are perpendicular to the turning axis 16 arranged, which pierces the mouths 14, 15 in the focus.
- the waiting station 12 is drawn in one of the two rest positions, the plane of the transport path 13 being arranged perpendicular to the drawing plane in each rest position.
- the orifices 14 and 15 do not interchange their places, since they rotate around the turning axis 16 on the spot.
- the transition of the good 21 in both rest positions, the transition of the good 21 always takes place in both directions between the branch 7 or 8 and the mouth 14 or 15.
- a drive belt 31 and a treadmill 32 form a pair for transporting the goods 21. They touch along the transport path 13, which has at least one such pair.
- a pinion of the drive 26 engages, for example, directly in the teeth of the drive belt 31, which is designed as an endless toothed belt.
- the treadmill 32 is driven by the frictional force via the drive belt 31. This arrangement of the transport path 13 has a small moment of inertia.
- the waiting station 12 has small masses with small distances from the turning axis 16.
- the waiting station 12 therefore also has a small moment of inertia with respect to the turning axis 16, i. H. there is less resistance to turning from one rest position to the other.
- the motor drive required for this rotation is not shown.
- the advantages of this embodiment are a quick change in the direction of travel of the transport path 13 and a rapid change between the two rest positions of the waiting station 12, which has a favorable effect on the throughput of the goods 21 to be oriented.
- the two surfaces of the belts 31 and 32 facing the good 21 come into contact only with one another or with the good 21.
- the belt conveyor 6 transports the goods 21 by means of the switch 5 via one of its branches 22 and 23 to the mouth 14 and 15.
- the transport path 13 takes the goods 21 through one of the mouths 14 and 15 and conveys it to the sensor 25 and 25 '.
- the conveyor device consisting of the parts 17 to 19 the goods 21 are discharged in the predetermined position through the outlet 3 from the turning device 1.
- the control device 20 takes into account the different path lengths in the branches 22 and 23 and in the arms 17 and 18 with the aid of the additional sensors along the transport paths which have already been mentioned and are not shown here.
- the transport path 13 is folded symmetrically to the turning axis 16, so that goods 21 with large dimensions in the transport direction can be accommodated in the waiting station 12, the length of which is predetermined by the distance between the two mouths 14, 15.
- the transport path 13 has, at least in the region of the mouths 14, 15, the turning axis 16 as the longitudinal axis of symmetry.
- the test station 4 (FIG. 1) advantageously also transmits a pattern code to the control device 20.
- a sorting device connected to the output 3 receives a control command from the control device 20 so that a predetermined path to the corresponding stacking compartment is opened for each incoming good 21.
- unidentified goods can also be assigned to a stacking compartment.
- the drive 26 for the transport path 13 is only in the two Resting positions of the waiting station 12 are required.
- the moment of inertia of the waiting station 12 is therefore advantageously smaller in all versions if the drive 26 is rigidly installed in the turning device 1 and it is only connected to the transport path 13 by means of a coupling in the two rest positions of the waiting station 12.
- the leads to the drive 26 are omitted.
- the feed lines to the sensors of the waiting station 12 can also be avoided.
- a transmitter and a light receiver is rigidly installed in the turning device 1.
- In the waiting station 12 are in this embodiment at the location of the sensors 25, 25 'passive reflectors which reflect the light beam from the transmitter to the light receiver.
- the good 21 is transported through between the reflector and the light receiver and interrupts the light beam as long as the good 21 is in the light barrier.
- the belt conveyor 6 contains at least one branch which leads to the input 2 of a turning device 1. Likewise, the outputs 3 of the turning devices 1 arranged in parallel are connected via a collector belt.
- the control device 20 common to all turning devices 1 defines the predetermined route via a control command of each branch, so that the goods 21 are each fed to a turning device 1 with an empty waiting station 12.
- the belt conveyor 6, the transport path 13, the waiting station 12 and the conveyor 17, 18 have their own drive motor or they are driven by a common motor via controlled couplings.
