Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are used in particular in banknote dispensers.
  • Banknotes taken from different cash cassettes are put together in a bundle in a collecting station. This bundle is captured by a transport device and fed to an output station, where it can be removed by a customer, for example. If the customer does not take out the banknotes, they are drawn back into the dispenser and placed in a reject compartment.
  • Dispensers for banknotes or the like must function very quickly and reliably, which generally requires an extremely complex mechanical construction. For this reason, it has hitherto essentially been limited to assigning such dispensing devices to only a single dispensing station. If, for example, several dispensing stations are to be set up in a bank building, a number of dispensing devices corresponding to the number of dispensing stations must be installed, which is very complex and expensive.
  • the clamping device is formed by a support plate for receiving the notes and by two hold-down plates cooperating therewith.
  • the support plate on the one hand and the hold-down plates on the other hand are slidably mounted on separate, parallel rails and can be driven by respectively assigned drive belts.
  • Both hold-down plates are adjustably supported independently of one another between a clamping position and a release position, each of the hold-down plates being effective when the notes are issued at one of the two dispensing stations. This essentially results in two clamping devices, of which only one becomes effective depending on the requesting delivery station. As a result, both the electrical and the mechanical control effort are relatively large.
  • the support plate, on the one hand, and the hold-down plates, on the other hand are arranged on separate transport carriages which slide on separate rails and are driven by respectively assigned belts, so that here too there is a considerable amount of construction work which makes the device more expensive.
  • the known device is essentially limited to a method along a linear adjustment path, so that a free choice of the rail course is hardly possible.
  • This also means that a frequently existing requirement cannot be met, which stipulates that the collecting station is located, for example, at a location in the output device that cannot be reached with tools, for example at a different height, in the output device.
  • a device for the output of card-shaped data carriers is already known, in which several card slots are provided along a receiving rail, from which the cards can be conveyed onto the rail.
  • a transport device consisting of two opposing slides pushes the cards into a position in the middle of the rail, where they can be removed or pushed out by a third slider.
  • a money transport device which has a general rail system for the transport of bank notes.
  • the known rail system does not contain a fork and the trolleys used there do not have a clamping device, but only a banknote container.
  • the trolleys are driven by a linear motor.
  • An output device with two output stations can, for example, be installed in a building wall in such a way that one output station opens into the interior of the building and the other output station opens towards the outside of the building.
  • the transport trolley can be moved in a rail system, which on the one hand ends in the collecting station, on the other hand leads to a branch to both output stations.
  • the traversing drive for the transport trolley comprises a drivable transport chain arrangement with transport chain sections running along the rail branches, to which the only transport trolley can be coupled.
  • the coupling means are designed in such a way that the transport carriage can be optionally connected to the transport chain section leading to a first output station or can be coupled to the transport chain section leading to a second output station.
  • first transport chain section and the second transport chain section are connected to one another in a chain and that the chain is guided in the region of the first end of the central rail section via a drive sprocket. In this way, only a single drive is required for the two transport chain sections.
  • the chain is endless, the free ends of the first and second transport chain sections being connected to one another via a return section.
  • the coupling means comprise driver claws arranged on the chain, which can be brought into and out of engagement with a driver pin arranged on the transport carriage.
  • a driver claw assigned to the first transport chain section and to the second transport chain section is preferably provided, which are arranged on the chain at a distance from one another. This arrangement allows the transport trolley to be moved beyond the deflection sprockets for the transport chain arrangement arranged in the area of the delivery stations, so that they protrude sufficiently far from the delivery slots of the delivery stations and can be easily gripped, as will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.
  • the driver claws are each designed as levers which can be pivoted between an engagement position and a release position and which are provided with a fork claw at their free ends, and that the levers each carry a guide roller which extends in each case along the transport chain sections Tax groove is guided.
  • This construction enables the driver claws to be pivoted automatically between their engagement position and their release position, controlled by the transport chain movement.
  • the control groove has a section which runs around the drive chain sprocket which is common to the two transport chain sections and which controls the driving claws to their release position.
  • the entraining claw connected to it up to that point is pivoted into its release position, while if the transport chain continues to move, the second entraining claw is swiveled into its engagement position and take the transport trolley in the direction of the other delivery station can, as will be explained in more detail using the exemplary embodiment.
  • a switch which either releases the first or the second outer rail branch and blocks the respective other rail branch is arranged, which ensures that the transport carriage moves into the intended outer rail branch.
  • the switch is connected to an actuator which can be controlled by a control.
  • the switch is also provided with a coupling device a manual control wheel connected in such a way that when the direction of rotation of the manual control wheel is reversed, the switch is adjusted from one switch position to the other.
  • the coupling device is a wrap spring coupling assigned to the manual actuating wheel, which is connected to the switch via an actuating rod.
  • Another possibility is to assign a wrap spring clutch to the drive wheel and connect it to the switch in the manner described, so that the switch position is controlled by the direction of rotation of the drive wheel, so that a separate actuator can be dispensed with.
  • the transport carriage preferably has two guide rollers or guide pins arranged at a distance from one another and running one behind the other in the respective rail of the rail system, so that the spatial position of the transport carriage is determined by the respective course of the rail. This measure also opens up the possibility of tilting the transport carriage relative to the course of the rail when one of the guide rollers or journals is deflected out of the rail.
  • This principle is used in the device according to the invention in that in one of the two outer rail branches there is provided a switch arrangement which can be actuated by an actuator and which optionally guides the leading role in the direction of the assigned output station or the leading guide pin from the outer rail branch into one of these rail branches diverting branch rail branch, whereby the trolley is tilted; in the end area of the branching rail branch is a storage compartment for the Arranged notes transported by the dolly.
  • This storage compartment serves as a reject compartment for banknotes that have not been removed by the customer, for example.
  • the clamping device of the transport carriage preferably comprises clamping elements which are prestressed by spring means against a receiving surface of the transport carriage.
  • Actuating cams are formed on the clamping elements and can be adjusted against the force of the spring means by cam actuating rails arranged along the rail branches. In this way, the opening and closing of the clamping device is automatically controlled by the movement of the trolley itself.
  • the actuating rails are designed such that in the collecting station on the one hand and in the region of the rail branch branching off to the reject compartment on the other hand the clamping elements are adjusted into their release position.
  • the clamping device in the collecting station is therefore open in order to be able to receive the bills collected and bundled therein. When the trolley moves out of the collecting station, the clamping device is closed.
  • the clamping device In the area of the reject compartment, the clamping device is opened so that the bills held by the transport trolley can fall into the reject compartment. Otherwise, the clamping device remains closed, even in the respective dispensing stations, so that the customer has to pull the banknotes out of the clamping device with a certain amount of force; this ensures that the banknotes in the dispensing stations do not automatically fall out of the clamping device of the trolley.
  • sensors are along the rail system, for example for detecting the passage of the transport carriage and for outputting signals to one Control arranged that controls functional components interacting with the device.
  • These functional components include, for example, flaps arranged at the dispensing stations, which are each closed when there is no dispensing process.
  • two parallel rail systems and two transport chain arrangements associated therewith are preferably provided according to the invention, wherein two sides of the transport carriage facing away from one another are each guided in a rail system and can be coupled to a transport chain system.
  • the transport chain systems are moved synchronously by a common drive.
  • Fig. 1 shows the upper part of a cash dispenser arranged in an approximately cabinet-like housing.
  • a plurality of bank note cassettes for example, are arranged below one another, from which bank notes are removed by means of a conveyor device, not shown, and transported into the upper part of the device shown.
  • the banknotes After passing through a recognition device 2, the banknotes are taken over by a conveyor belt 4 and transported to a junction 6, where a switch 8 decides, depending on the result of the recognition device 2, whether the bill is directed via the channel 10 into a reject compartment 12 or via a channel 14 is fed to a conventional stacking wheel 16.
  • the notes fed to the stacking wheel 16 are deposited by the latter in a collecting station 18, a note bundle being formed, for example.
  • the device described so far essentially corresponds to known devices.
  • the device described here serves to feed the banknotes bundled in the collecting station 18 either to a first output station 20 or to a second output station 22.
