Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, in which the banknotes are guided in a closed circuit between deposit and withdrawal, with an extendable drawer for the manual insertion of different banknotes and for the sorted storage of different banknotes in different shafts, from which the respective banknotes can be removed mechanically.
- Automatic machines in which cash can be paid out in the form of banknotes using data carriers, such as credit or check cards, and by entering a personal code, are state of the art. Sorting devices, note recognition devices and other mechanical aids are known for the receipt of banknotes or for the deposit, which are intended to prepare and ensure the deposit of deposited amounts in appropriately secured rooms, such as safes.
- EP-PS 0391059 describes a self-service machine for picking up and lifting a wide variety of objects, sometimes banknotes.
- Dispensing or dispensing means is a drawer which can be moved out of the housing and has designed side walls and a closed, trained bottom. In or out of this, the respective object is conveyed out of or into special storage containers in the interior of the machine by means of a part-specific gripping tool attached to a robot arm and extending over a drawer edge.
- the invention now aims to provide a device of the type mentioned at the beginning, with which the security risk at cash registers or deposit counters, at which monetary amounts are also paid out, is substantially reduced, and which in a simple and cost-effective manner is a fully protected banknote cycle which cannot be easily intervened from the outside.
- the device according to the invention essentially consists in the drawer having a plurality of mutually different recesses for the sorted reception of manually inserted banknotes and an openable bottom and at least one open or openable longitudinal side wall, that at least on the openable or open longitudinal side wall
- a manipulator which can be moved transversely to the direction of insertion of the drawer is arranged such that the manipulator has at least one gripper and can be moved into a position which corresponds to the respective compartment for the banknotes and from this position into the slot for receiving the banknotes after the bottom of the Drawer can be lowered, and the manipulator remains in the receiving slot for the respective banknotes while maintaining a defined pressure after closing the bottom of the drawer and / or closing the drawer.
- a simple drawer with an openable bottom has the advantage that, after manual presorting, banknotes can be deposited directly in the compartments or recesses provided for this purpose, a particularly simple design for handling the in this way sorted banknotes can be selected.
- the drawer can immediately disappear into the protected area again after it has been entered into a safe, the individual compartments of the drawer being able to be emptied in a simple manner, so that when such a protected area is opened again, only empty ones Exceptions are released, and access to the protected withdrawn banknotes is no longer possible.
- the banknotes disappear after depositing in the safe and are no longer fully released when the safe is opened electronically.
- Banknotes can be paid out in a conventional manner as with conventional ATMs, again only the amount required is released and access to larger amounts located in the protected area, in particular in a safe, is prevented.
- the design with a drawer and an openable bottom results in a structurally particularly simple solution which, with the aid of a structurally extremely simple and inexpensive manipulator, offers the possibility of completely guiding banknotes in the protected circuit, which can significantly reduce the security risk. Because the responsibility for the security control remains with the cashier, new counterfeits can be reacted to quickly and the overall effort can be reduced considerably.
- the design according to the invention is such that a separate manipulator is provided for each of the different banknotes, and that all manipulators are coupled to move together, whereby the effort for controlling and starting up the manipulators can be significantly reduced.
- the parallel emptying of each individual section of the drawer after the drawer has been moved in and the bottom opened ensures that, after each deposit process, only an empty drawer is made available for new deposits, while at the same time taking the time to empty the drawer can be significantly reduced.
- a payout can be carried out in parallel to a deposit, since the notes are placed on top of the existing stack from the top when the deposit is made and deducted from the bottom when the deposit is made. This guarantees real simultaneous work with deposits and withdrawals.
- the proposed manipulators also enable the required contact pressure to be built up and maintained in a simple manner, as is required for the secure removal of banknotes for automatic banknote dispensers.
- the design according to the invention is advantageously made such that the manipulator contains an electric drive motor with a position indicator, which is connected to a gripper jaw, and that a second jaw, which interacts with this gripper jaw, with the interposition of an overload clutch, in particular a magnetic clutch, in their position is held, which always the right load or the right back pressure can be ensured in a particularly simple manner and with little design effort.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zum Einzahlen und Auszahlen von Banknoten, bei welcher die Banknoten im geschlossenen Kreislauf zwischen Einzahlung und Auszahlung geführt sind, mit einer ausfahrbaren Schublade für das manuelle Einlegen verschiedener Geldscheine und für die sortierte Ablage von verschiedenen Banknoten in verschiedenen Schächten, aus welchen die jeweiligen Banknoten mechanisch abgezogen werden können. Automaten, bei welchen unter Verwendung von Datenträgern, wie beispielsweise Kredit- oder Scheckkarten, sowie unter Eingabe eines persönlichen Codes Bargeld in Form von Banknoten zur Auszahlung gebracht werden kann, sind Stand der Technik. Für die Entgegennahme von Banknoten bzw. für die Einzahlung sind Sortiereinrichtungen, Notenerkennungseinrichtungen und andere mechanische Hilfen bekannt, welche die Ablage eingezahlter Beträge in entsprechend gesicherten Räumen, wie beispielsweise Safes, vorbereiten und sicherstellen sollen.The invention relates to a device for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, in which the banknotes are guided in a closed circuit between deposit and withdrawal, with an extendable drawer for the manual insertion of different banknotes and for the sorted storage of different banknotes in different shafts, from which the respective banknotes can be removed mechanically. Automatic machines in which cash can be paid out in the form of banknotes using data carriers, such as credit or check cards, and by entering a personal code, are state of the art. Sorting devices, note recognition devices and other mechanical aids are known for the receipt of banknotes or for the deposit, which are intended to prepare and ensure the deposit of deposited amounts in appropriately secured rooms, such as safes.
Übliche Schalter für die Ein- und Auszahlung von Bargeld in Banken, Postämtern oder anderen Institutionen weisen im Bereich der Einzahlung von Geldmitteln eine deutliche Sicherheitslücke auf, welche mit konventionellen Einrichtungen nicht ohne weiteres geschlossen werden kann. Das zur Einzahlung gebrachte Geld wird üblicherweise in Safes versperrt, welche jedoch für die Entnahme von Scheinen wiederum geöffnet werden, sodaß insbesondere für den Zeitpunkt der Öffnung immer voller Zugang zur gesamten vorrätigen Menge an Banknoten und damit ein hohes Sicherheitsrisiko besteht.Conventional counters for depositing and withdrawing cash in banks, post offices or other institutions have a clear security gap in the area of depositing funds, which cannot be easily closed with conventional facilities. The money brought in for payment is usually blocked in safes, which however are opened again for the removal of notes, so that there is always full access to the entire amount of banknotes in stock and thus a high security risk, especially when the opening takes place.
Einrichtungen, mit welchen eine automatische Erkennung von Banknoten und eine entsprechende Ablage in sortierter Ordnung möglich wäre, sind relativ aufwendig und störanfällig. Bei der Entgegennahme von Geldscheinen muß nämlich nicht nur die Echtheit überprüft werden, sondern es müssen auch Beschädigungen echter Banknoten erkannt werden, welche dazu führen sollen, daß diese Banknoten aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden. Im Banknotenkreislauf sollen unbeschädigte und naturgemäß nur echte Banknoten verbleiben. Einrichtung mit einer weitestgehend funktionssicheren Sicherheitskontrolle sind mit Rücksicht auf die gegenwärtig in Umlauf befindlichen Noten überaus aufwendig.Devices with which an automatic recognition of banknotes and a corresponding storage in a sorted order would be possible are relatively complex and prone to failure. When accepting banknotes, not only must the authenticity be checked, but damage to real banknotes must also be recognized, which should result in these banknotes being withdrawn from circulation. In the banknote cycle undamaged and naturally only genuine banknotes should remain. Establishments with a largely functionally reliable security check are extremely complex in view of the currently circulating grades.
Die EP-PS 0391059 beschreibt in diesem Zusammenhang einen Selbstbedienungsautomaten zum Auf- und Abheben verschiedenster Gegenstände, mitunter Banknoten. Auf- bzw. Abgabemittel ist eine aus dem Gehäuse herausfahrbare Schublade mit ausgebildeten Seitenwänden und geschlossenem, ausgebildeten Boden. In bzw. aus diesem wird der jeweilige Gegenstand mittels eines an einem Roboterarm angebrachten, teilespezifischen, eine Schubladenkante überlangenden Greifwerkzeuges aus bzw. in spezielle Aufbewahrungsbehälter im Automateninneren befördert.In this context, EP-PS 0391059 describes a self-service machine for picking up and lifting a wide variety of objects, sometimes banknotes. Dispensing or dispensing means is a drawer which can be moved out of the housing and has designed side walls and a closed, trained bottom. In or out of this, the respective object is conveyed out of or into special storage containers in the interior of the machine by means of a part-specific gripping tool attached to a robot arm and extending over a drawer edge.
Die Erfindung zielt nun darauf ab, eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit welcher das Sicherheitsrisiko bei Kassen bzw. Einzahlungsschaltern, bei welchen auch Geldbeträge ausgezahlt werden, wesentlich verfingert wird, und welche in einfacher und kostengünstiger Weise einen voll geschützten Banknotenkreislauf, in welchen von außen nicht ohne weiteres eingegriffen werden kann, zur Verfügung stellt. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung im wesentlichen darin, daß die Schublade eine Mehrzahl von voneinander verschiedenen Ausnehmungen für die sortierte Aufnahme von manuell eingelegten Banknoten und einen öffenbaren Boden und wenigstens eine offene oder öffenbare Längsseitenwand aufweist, daß an der öffenbaren oder offenen Längsseitenwand wenigstens ein quer zur Einschubrichtung der Schublade verfahrbarer Manipulator angeordnet ist, daß der Manipulator wenigstens einen Greifer aufweist und in eine mit dem jeweiligen Fach für die Banknoten übereinstimmende Position bewegbar ist und aus dieser Position in den Schacht für die Aufnahme der Banknoten nach dem Öffnen des Bodens der Schublade absenkbar ist, und daß der Manipulator unter Aufrechterhaltung eines definierten Drukkes nach dem Schließen des Bodens der Schublade und/oder dem Schließen der Schublade im Aufnahmeschacht für die jeweiligen Banknoten verbleibt. Dadurch, daß eine einfache Schublade mit öffenbarem Boden vorgesehen ist, wird der Vorteil erreicht, daß nach einer händischen Vorsortierung unmittelbar die Ablage von Banknoten in entsprechend dafür vorgesehenen Fächern bzw. Ausnehmungen erfolgen kann, wobei eine besonders einfache Ausbildung für die Handhabung der auf diese Weise sortiert abgelegten Geldscheine gewählt werden kann. Die Schublade kann nach ihrem Einfahren in einen Tresor unmittelbar wiederum in den geschützten Bereich verschwinden, wobei die einzelnen Fächer der Schublade in einfacher Weise entleert werden können, sodaß bei einem neuerlichen Öffnen eines derartigen geschützten Bereiches lediglich leere Ausnehmungen freigegeben werden, und ein Zugang zu den geschützt entnommenen Geldscheinen nicht mehr möglich ist. Insgesamt verschwinden somit die Geldscheine nach der Einzahlung im Tresor und werden bei einem elektronisch gesicherten Öffnen des Tresors nicht mehr zur Gänze freigegeben. Eine Auszahlung von Geldscheinen kann in konventioneller Weise wie bei herkömmlichen Bankomaten erfolgen, wobei hier auch wiederum nur diejenige Menge, welche jeweils gefordert wird, freigegeben wird, und ein Zugriff auf größere Mengen, welche sich im geschützten Bereich, insbesondere in einem Tresor, befinden, verhindert wird. Insgesamt ergibt sich durch die Ausbildung mit einer Schublade und einem öffenbaren Boden eine konstruktiv besonders einfache Lösung, welche unter Zuhilfenahme eines konstruktiv überaus einfachen und kostengünstigen Manipulators die Möglichkeiten bieten, Banknoten vollständig im geschützten Kreislauf zu führen, wodurch das Sicherheitsrisiko wesentlich herabgesetzt werden kann. Dadurch, daß die Verantwortung für die Sicherheitskontrolle beim Kassier verbleibt, kann auf neue Fälschungen rasch reagiert werden und der Gesamtaufwand wesentlich herabgesetzt werden.The invention now aims to provide a device of the type mentioned at the beginning, with which the security risk at cash registers or deposit counters, at which monetary amounts are also paid out, is substantially reduced, and which in a simple and cost-effective manner is a fully protected banknote cycle which cannot be easily intervened from the outside. To achieve this object, the device according to the invention essentially consists in the drawer having a plurality of mutually different recesses for the sorted reception of manually inserted banknotes and an openable bottom and at least one open or openable longitudinal side wall, that at least on the openable or open longitudinal side wall A manipulator which can be moved transversely to the direction of insertion of the drawer is arranged such that the manipulator has at least one gripper and can be moved into a position which corresponds to the respective compartment for the banknotes and from this position into the slot for receiving the banknotes after the bottom of the Drawer can be lowered, and the manipulator remains in the receiving slot for the respective banknotes while maintaining a defined pressure after closing the bottom of the drawer and / or closing the drawer. The fact that a simple drawer with an openable bottom is provided has the advantage that, after manual presorting, banknotes can be deposited directly in the compartments or recesses provided for this purpose, a particularly simple design for handling the in this way sorted banknotes can be selected. The drawer can immediately disappear into the protected area again after it has been entered into a safe, the individual compartments of the drawer being able to be emptied in a simple manner, so that when such a protected area is opened again, only empty ones Exceptions are released, and access to the protected withdrawn banknotes is no longer possible. Overall, the banknotes disappear after depositing in the safe and are no longer fully released when the safe is opened electronically. Banknotes can be paid out in a conventional manner as with conventional ATMs, again only the amount required is released and access to larger amounts located in the protected area, in particular in a safe, is prevented. Overall, the design with a drawer and an openable bottom results in a structurally particularly simple solution which, with the aid of a structurally extremely simple and inexpensive manipulator, offers the possibility of completely guiding banknotes in the protected circuit, which can significantly reduce the security risk. Because the responsibility for the security control remains with the cashier, new counterfeits can be reacted to quickly and the overall effort can be reduced considerably.
In besonders vorteilhafter Weise ist die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung hiebei so getroffen, daß für jede der verschiedenen Banknoten jeweils ein gesonderter Manipulator vorgesehen ist, und daß alle Manipulatoren zu gemeinsamer Bewegung gekoppelt sind, wodurch der Aufwand für die Steuerung und Inbetriebnahme der Manipulatoren wesentlich herabgesetzt werden kann. Durch die parallele Entleerung jedes einzelnen Teilbereiches der Schublade nach dem Einfahren der Schublade und dem Öffnen des Bodens wird sichergestellt, daß tatsächlich nach jedem Einzahlungsvorgang immer nur eine leere Schublade für neue Einzahlungen wiederum zur Verfügung gestellt wird, wobei gleichzeitig der Zeitaufwand für die Entleerung der Schublade wesentlich herabgesetzt werden kann. Parallel zu einer Einzahlung kann eine Auszahlung durchgeführt werden, da die Noten bei der Einzahlung auf den vorhandenen Stapel von oben aufgelegt werden und bei einer Auszahlung von unten abgezogen werden. Dies garantiert ein echtes Simultanarbeiten bei Ein- und Auszahlung. Die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagenen Manipulatoren ermöglicht hiebei in einfacher Weise auch den erforderlichen Anpreßdruck aufzubauen und aufrecht zu erhalten, wie er für ein sicheres Abziehen von Banknoten für automatische Banknotenausgabeeinrichtungen gefordert wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist mit Vorteil die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung so getroffen, daß der Manipulator einen elektrischen Antriebsmotor mit einem Positionsmelder enthält, welcher mit einer Greiferbacke verbunden ist, und daß eine zweite, mit dieser Greiferbacke zusammenwirkende Backe unter Zwischenschaltung einer Überlastkupplung, insbesondere einer Magnetkupplung, in ihrer Position gehalten ist, wodurch immer die richtige Belastung bzw. der richtige Gegendruck in besonders einfacher Weise und mit geringem konstruktivem Aufwand sichergestellt werden kann.In a particularly advantageous manner, the design according to the invention is such that a separate manipulator is provided for each of the different banknotes, and that all manipulators are coupled to move together, whereby the effort for controlling and starting up the manipulators can be significantly reduced. The parallel emptying of each individual section of the drawer after the drawer has been moved in and the bottom opened ensures that, after each deposit process, only an empty drawer is made available for new deposits, while at the same time taking the time to empty the drawer can be significantly reduced. A payout can be carried out in parallel to a deposit, since the notes are placed on top of the existing stack from the top when the deposit is made and deducted from the bottom when the deposit is made. This guarantees real simultaneous work with deposits and withdrawals. The use of the invention The proposed manipulators also enable the required contact pressure to be built up and maintained in a simple manner, as is required for the secure removal of banknotes for automatic banknote dispensers. For this purpose, the design according to the invention is advantageously made such that the manipulator contains an electric drive motor with a position indicator, which is connected to a gripper jaw, and that a second jaw, which interacts with this gripper jaw, with the interposition of an overload clutch, in particular a magnetic clutch, in their position is held, which always the right load or the right back pressure can be ensured in a particularly simple manner and with little design effort.
In besonders einfacher Weise sind der Antriebsmotor und die Magnetkupplung mit einem frei programmierbaren Schaltwerk verbunden.The drive motor and the magnetic coupling are connected to a freely programmable switching mechanism in a particularly simple manner.
Um sicherzustellen, daß bei jeder Öffnung der Schublade leere Aufnahmefächer für die Banknoten geöffent werden, ist der Manipulator mit Vorteil zweiachsig verfahrbar.In order to ensure that empty receptacles for the banknotes are opened each time the drawer is opened, the manipulator can advantageously be moved in two axes.
