Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sheet removal device with a cassette for receiving a sheet stack and a method for regulating the pressing force of the sheet stack against the sheet removal device.
  • Such cassettes are used in sheet withdrawal devices, especially in automated teller machines.
  • the bundle of banknotes located in the cassette is pressed by a pressure element against an end wall of the cassette, which is designed in such a way that the foremost banknote is in contact with withdrawal elements which pass through the end wall.
  • These trigger elements are normally trigger rollers, but can also be trigger fingers or the like.
  • the banknote packet is pressed against the take-off rollers by a pressure plate which is moved in the cassette by a motor.
  • the pressure force of the take-off rollers against the foremost bank note is measured and used to control the drive motor.
  • the axis of the take-off rollers is slidably mounted on one side in the pressing direction is supported directly against a force sensor.
  • the contact force measured by the force sensor is directly proportional to the pressing force of the sheet stack on the take-off rollers.
  • a sheet feeder with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE-A-4 124 566.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a sheet removal device with a cassette of the type mentioned, which ensures a constant pressing force with simple means, and in which a perfect removal of the individual sheets from the stack is ensured even when the stack surface is not completely flat, and a To name a process with which the pressure force can be regulated.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that in the case of a rotating take-off shaft with at least two take-off rolls, the only abutment of which is between the take-off rolls and is in the coupling point for the torque, the entire pressure force acts on this abutment and is therefore to be measured there. This force is transferred to the drive shaft and must then also be measured in its bearings. Since the ratio with which the pressure force is distributed to the bearings always remains the same, it is sufficient to measure the force at one end of the drive shaft.
  • the pendulum shaft which can be freely pivoted about its pendulum axis, not only adapts to unevenness in the stack end surface, but also ensures that the pulling forces are distributed evenly when the pulling rollers are unequal.
  • Such an arrangement also tolerates the inclination of a drive shaft which deflects on one side, so that the problems which occur in the prior art are eliminated.
  • the torque is introduced into the drive shaft on the fixed side. Then only the bearing reaction forces have to be absorbed.
  • the other end of the drive shaft is slidably mounted perpendicular to the plane of the sheet. The force sensor acts on this.
  • the pressure force is determined by a spring that is non-positively coupled to the movable shaft end.
  • the displaceable pressure element pushes the sheet stack against the pull-off device and deflects the drive shaft in the process.
  • the spring is tensioned and generates a reaction force corresponding to the pressure force.
  • the deflection path of the spring is a measure of the pressing force of the sheet stack on the trigger device.
  • a displacement sensor can then be used as the force sensor, which detects the deflection path.
  • the cassette can be attached to the extraction device by pushing it on.
  • the travel sensor is designed so that it can also provide information about whether a cassette is pushed or not.
  • the sliding shaft end is stored in a sliding bearing. When the cassette is removed, this is brought into a first displacement position by the spring. When it is pushed onto the withdrawal device, the cassette engages the bearing and moves it into a second position against the spring force. This is reported by the travel sensor to a controller, which in turn now activates the pressure device, as a result of which the stack of sheets in the cassette is pushed against the take-off device, the shaft of which deviates as described and the spring is increasingly tensioned until a displacement path is signaled by the travel sensor, which corresponds to a predetermined pressure force. The pressure device is thereby switched off.
  • the control method is still described using an exemplary embodiment.
  • the displacement sensor comprises a reflection light barrier, the surface normal of a reflector attached to the movable bearing pointing in the direction of displacement.
  • a surface-mirrored planar reflector produces particularly reproducible measurement results.
  • the reflector is arranged at such a distance from the light barrier that the light spot generated by the light transmitter is imaged sharply on the edge of the light receiver and with approximately the size of the light-sensitive surface of the light receiver.
  • the change in distance between the light barrier and reflector associated with the displacement of the movable bearing causes a displacement-dependent change in the degree of illumination of the light-sensitive surface in the arrangement described above. This leads to a linear change in the output quantity of the light receiver which is directly proportional to the displacement.
  • the output variable is used to control the pressure motor.
  • FIG. 1 shows a part of a separating module, generally designated 10, which consists of a cuboid frame into which a cassette 14 containing a sheet stack 12 is inserted.
  • Pull-off rollers 16 of a pull-off device of the separating module 10 lie on the foremost sheet of the stack 12 contained in the cassette.
  • the stack 12 is biased in the direction of the pull-off rollers 16 by a pressing device 13 (FIG. 2) actuated by a pressing motor 46, so that the sheets of the stack 12 are constantly applied to the take-off rollers 16 with a certain preload.
  • the take-off rollers 16 are arranged on a drive shaft 18, one end 20 of which, in a manner which will be explained in more detail later is rotatably mounted in a frame-fixed bearing 21 and can be driven in the direction of arrow B.
  • the take-off rollers convey the sheet 22 of the stack 12 resting against them or, if appropriate, also a plurality of sheets 22, 24 adhering to one another in the direction of a nip between transport rollers 26 and counter-rollers 28, which are arranged on shafts 30 and 32 parallel to the drive shaft 18 and are driven in the same direction with the take-off rollers 16 in the direction of arrow B.
  • the transport rollers 26 have the task of conveying the sheet 22 which is in contact with them upwards through the nip, while the counter-rollers 28 are intended to prevent more than one sheet from passing through the nip between the transport rollers 26 and the counter-rollers 28.
  • the take-off rollers 16 are arranged on a tubular pendulum shaft 34. There are three pull-off rollers 16 arranged at an axial distance from one another, the middle pull-off roller lying exactly in the middle between the two outer pull-off rollers.
  • the pendulum shaft 34 is mounted on the drive shaft 18 by means of a universal joint, generally designated 48.
  • the universal joint comprises a bearing ball 50 which is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 18 and has annular bearing surfaces 52.
  • two axially parallel grooves 54 are formed in the surface of the bearing ball 50, only one of which is visible in FIG. 2.
  • spherical-shell-shaped bearing surfaces 56 are formed in the pendulum shaft 34. Bores 58 extend from the bearing surfaces 56 to both ends of the pendulum shaft 34, the diameter of which widens conically towards the free ends of the pendulum shaft 34, so that the pendulum shaft 34 extends parallel to it Axis 60 of the drive shaft 18 directed center position can be pivoted by any angle ⁇ / 2.
  • pins are provided in the area of the middle take-off roller on the inside of the pendulum shaft 34, which engage in the grooves 54 in the bearing ball 50. It also follows that, despite the torque transmission about axis 60, pivoting movement of pendulum shaft 34 about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the drawing is possible.
  • the pendulum shaft 34 Since only a pivoting movement of the pendulum shaft 34 perpendicular to the plane of the sheet 22 to be removed, i.e. perpendicular to the end face of the stack, the pendulum shaft 34 has at its left end in FIG. 2 a guide projection 36 which engages between the two legs 38 of a guide fork 40 (FIG. 1), which causes the pendulum shaft 34 to tilt around the end face of the stack vertical axis prevented and only allows a pendulum movement of the pendulum shaft 34 about an axis parallel to the stack end face.
  • the guide fork 40 is fastened to a support 42 which is rigidly connected to the frame of the separating module 10 and is indicated schematically in FIG. 1.
  • the other end 62 of the drive shaft 18 is mounted in a sliding bearing 64 designed as a sliding block, which can slide easily in a slot 66 in the frame wall 68.
  • a tension spring 70 engages, the other end via a pin 72 with the Frame wall 68 is coupled.
  • the spring 70 is arranged such that it pulls the displaceable end 62 of the drive shaft 18 in the direction of the cassette 14.
  • a flat, surface-mirrored reflector 74 is attached to the movable bearing 64 on its side remote from the cassette, the surface normal of which reflector points in the direction of displacement of the bearing 64.
  • a reflection light barrier 76 is arranged opposite the reflector 74, its center line 78 being perpendicular to the reflector 74.
  • a driver 80 is formed on the bearing 64 and protrudes into the insertion path of the cassette 14.
  • FIG. 3 which shows the pressing device 13 arranged in the cassette 14 with the pressing motor 46, a control device 44 and the measuring system for the pressing force consisting of the spring 70, the reflector 74 and the reflection light barrier 76, shows the mode of operation the sheet take-off device according to the invention explained below.
  • FIG. 4 shows the displacement distance output voltage characteristic of the aforementioned measuring system.
  • the focal length of the optical system of the light barrier 76 and the distance d between it and the reflector 74 are selected such that a light spot generated by the light transmitter 90 is sharp in the plane of the light receiver 92 and with a size substantially corresponding to the light-sensitive surface of the light receiver 92 is mapped.
  • the reflector 74 With the cassette 14 removed from the withdrawal system, the reflector 74 has a distance d 1 from the light barrier 76 which corresponds to an inclined position t of the drive shaft 18 (in FIG. 2 only the different inclined positions t, u, v, w of the drive shaft are shown for reasons of clarity 18 corresponding positions of their axis 60 shown). In this position, the light receiver 92 outputs a voltage U 1 . This voltage is stored as a minimum value in the controller 44.
  • the cassette 14 When the cassette 14 is pushed onto the withdrawal system, the cassette engages the driver 80, as a result of which the bearing 64 and with it the reflector 74 are displaced in the direction of the light barrier 76. In this position, the drive shaft assumes an inclined position u. The light receiver voltage U rises to a value that lies in the lower third of the working range 94 of the light barrier 76. From the fact that the voltage U has assumed a value different from U 1 , the controller 44 concludes that the cassette 14 is now in a working position from which sheets 22 can be pulled off the stack 12.
  • the pressure device 13 is displaced in the direction of the trigger device until a voltage U 3 is established at the upper end of the working area 94.
  • the reflector 74 is then at a distance d 3 from the light barrier 76 and the drive shaft is inclined w.
  • the controller 44 calculates an average working value for the pressing force of the sheet stack 12 against the take-off rollers 16, which leads to a distance d 2 between the reflector 74 and the light barrier 76 when the drive shaft 18 is inclined v.
  • a voltage U M corresponds to this distance.
  • the control device 44 By controlling the pressure motor 46 in the reverse direction, the control device 44 now reduces the pressure force to a value corresponding to a voltage U 2 , which is slightly above U M. If sheets 22 are now withdrawn from the cassette 14, the pressure force decreases. As soon as the output voltage of the light receiver falls below the value U M , the pressure force is up to one again U 2 corresponding value increased.
  • the difference between the values U 2 and U M corresponds to a predetermined number, preferably 10, of sheets 22 removed from the stack 12.
  • the arrangement described above permits precise control of the pressing force of the sheet stack 12 against the take-off rollers 16 with equal distribution of the take-off torque to all the take-off rollers.
  • the thickness of the sheet stack is irrelevant.
  • the resolution of the measuring system for the pressing force is increased by the fact that the deflection of the reflector is increased by the length ratio of the lever arms formed by the drive shaft 18, which is caused by the distance between the bearings 21 and 64 or between the bearing 21 and the bearing ball 50 are defined.
