Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roll storage arrangement for sheet-shaped objects, in particular bank notes, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Banknotes are stored in bundle form in cassette memories, each cassette storing one type of note.
  • the storage In the case of a roll storage device, the storage generally takes place between rolled-up plastic or metal strips.
  • one note type is saved per roll memory if the roll memory serves as the main memory.
  • Banknotes of a mixed bundle of banknotes can also be stored if the roll store serves only as an intermediate store, namely as a so-called intermediate cash register for entered banknotes.
  • EP-A-0 735 513 specifies a roll storage arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset, with which deposited banknotes, even of different currencies or types of notes, can be stored in such a way that they can also be output again at a later point in time.
  • Two storage coils are provided, between which a storage tape can be wound back and forth as desired.
  • the storage tape is divided into sectors of fixed length, which are identified by coding and can therefore be found at any time.
  • an electronic memory is provided, in which the relationship between the banknotes and the sector codes is stored.
  • a bank note is inserted between the storage tape and a second tape for storage in the winding of a storage coil. Both tapes with the banknote in between are then wound onto a storage spool. The second tape is unwound from a separate supply reel when a banknote is stored and wound up again when it is stored out.
  • the known device is constructed symmetrically, so that each storage spool is assigned a supply spool and a second band. So three tapes and four spools are required. The space requirement and effort in drive technology for four with synchronous peripheral speed but coils that can be driven freely are large.
  • the utilization of the storage volume on the storage reel is also unfavorable, since two layers of tape are wound onto it per bill deposit. The degree of utilization is further reduced by the fact that the sector length must be adapted to the length of the largest banknote occurring.
  • the objects to be stored - hereinafter the term "banknotes" is used - are stored between the winding layers of one of the tape windings formed on the roll cores. Only a single storage tape is used, ie the banknotes are inserted between the winding layers of one and the same storage tape. In contrast to the prior art, only two tape windings to be driven in opposite directions are therefore necessary.
  • the storage space available on the reels is used particularly well, since only one storage tape layer has to be wound up per banknote layer.
  • the storage tape itself can consist of two or more subbands arranged at a distance from one another.
  • the in / out unit has at least one pair of endless belts which together form a belt gap for the transport of banknotes to be stored, the in / out unit being arranged in such a way that the strands of the endless belt forming the belt gap are in the inoperative position of the in / out unit lie in one level with the storage tape next to it and in the / Track-out position are pivoted relative to the plane of the storage band about a pivot axis running through a longitudinal end of the belt gap and lying in the plane of the storage band.
  • the storage tape consists of only one tape, it is advisable to provide a pair of endless belts on both sides of the tape. If the storage tape consists of two partial belts, a third pair of endless belts can also be provided between the two partial belts. This increases the transport security when inserting and removing banknotes.
  • an entry / exit unit can be assigned to each tape winding. It is thus possible for bank notes to be tracked in and out regardless of the direction in which the storage tape runs.
  • an engagement / disengagement unit is arranged between the two tape windings in such a way that it can optionally be adjusted relative to each of the tape windings in an engagement / disengagement position.
  • the sectors are determined by measuring the length of the tape that has been passed, with knowledge of the sector length.
  • the sector length (measured in the longitudinal direction of the tape) depends on the largest banknote width when the banknotes are processed crosswise or on the largest banknote length when they are processed longitudinally.
  • the degree of utilization of the storage capacity therefore deteriorates.
  • desired sector length is stored in the control device during an initialization phase of the roll memory.
  • the storage capacity of a roll memory can thus be adapted to the banknote size of a particular currency. It is also possible to divide the storage space in the field into several storage areas with sectors of different sizes to suit the application. For example, the inner layers of the tape reels can be provided with larger sectors for higher-value, less frequently issued or stored banknotes, which are larger than lower-value in most currencies. The remaining storage space can then be provided with smaller sectors.
  • the subdivision of the storage tape into logically identifiable sectors allows direct addressing of each individual stored banknote by specifying the length section it occupies. If the banknote can be recognized at all by the machine, the location of the stored banknote, namely the length section characterizing its sector, is recorded.
  • the optional switching on and off of the on / off track unit gives the possibility to find a specific sector on the storage tape and to track the bank note stored there.
  • the exact control of the in / out unit can be made even easier if, according to a development of the invention, a sensor connected to the control device for detecting the front and / or back edge of the bank notes is arranged between the tape winding and the in / out unit.
  • the roll storage device according to the invention is used in an automated teller machine, it is not necessary to store deposited banknotes temporarily.
  • the banknotes can be stored in the roll storage immediately and, if necessary, time individually identified, collected and handed out to the customer.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a storage arrangement according to the invention with the on / off unit in its rest position
  • FIG. 2 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 1 with the in / out unit in the in
  • Figure 3 is a schematic plan view of a portion of the storage tape and the lower part of the on / off unit and
  • Figure 4 is a schematic representation corresponding to Figure 1 of a modified embodiment of the invention.
  • roller storage arrangement shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises roller cores 10 and 12 which are arranged at a distance from one another and parallel to one another and which are each coupled to the output shaft 14 or 16 of a motor 18 or 20 which can be switched in its direction of rotation.
  • a storage tape 22 is wound onto the roll cores 10, 12 to form a tape roll 24 or 26, so that a stretch of the storage tape 22 stretched between the tape rolls 24 and 26 remains freely accessible.
  • an engagement / unloading unit or loading rocker Arranged in the area between the two tape reels 24, 26 is an engagement / unloading unit or loading rocker, generally designated 28, which comprises a belt group 30 arranged below the storage belt 22 and a belt group 32 arranged above the storage belt 22 includes.
  • the storage belt 22 consists of two sub-belts 34 running parallel to one another in the same plane.
  • Each belt group 30 and 32 consists of three parallel endless belts 36 which are guided over coaxial rollers 38 in such a way that a belt drum runs in the plane of the sub-bands 34 and parallel to them, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the mutually facing belt spaces of the two belt groups 30, 32 work together to form a belt gap 40 for the transport of banknotes.
  • the belt groups 30, 32 are driven at the same feed speed and in the same direction as the storage belt 22.
  • the loading rocker 28 can be adjusted by means of an adjusting device 42 between a rest position shown in FIG. 1, in which banknotes lying on the storage belt 22 can pass through the belt gap unhindered, and an engagement / disengagement position shown in FIG. 2, in which the loading rocker 28 is moved through one one end of the belt gap 40 is pivoted parallel to the axes of the rollers 38, the pivot axis 44 (FIG. 2) is pivoted and thereby comes into alignment with the end of the belt gap 40 opposite the pivot axis 44 in alignment with a track 46 through which banknotes to be stored are fed or fed banknotes removed from the memory can be removed, as indicated by the double arrow 48.
  • an adjusting device 42 between a rest position shown in FIG. 1, in which banknotes lying on the storage belt 22 can pass through the belt gap unhindered, and an engagement / disengagement position shown in FIG. 2, in which the loading rocker 28 is moved through one one end of the belt gap 40 is pivoted parallel to the axes of the rollers 38, the
  • the motors 18, 20 and the adjusting device 42 for adjusting the loading rocker 28 are controlled via a control device 50 of the storage arrangement, which also takes over the management of the storage inventory.
  • the storage tape 22 is divided in its longitudinal direction into individual sectors 52 (FIG. 3), the expansion of which in the tape longitudinal direction during a longitudinal processing of banknotes to be stored corresponds to the length thereof and, in the case of cross-processing of the banknotes to be stored (banknote 53 in FIG. 3), corresponds to the width thereof.
  • the location of the sectors 52 on the storage tape 22 is determined by measuring the continuous tape length.
  • a measuring device 54 is provided, which is connected to the control device 50.
  • the measuring device 54 is attached to the loading rocker 28.
  • a sensor 56 which is also connected to the control device 50, is arranged near the storage belt 22 and the pivot axis 44 of the loading rocker 28 for scanning the front and rear edges of the banknotes.
  • Each sector 52 can thus be uniquely identified by direct actuation of the sector on the basis of a specific band length section and brought into a position relative to the loading rocker 28 in which the latter can deposit a banknote on the selected sector of the storage band or remove it from the sector concerned.
  • the assignment of individual banknotes and the corresponding sectors in which they are stored is carried out by the memory management housed in the control device 50.
  • a further advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the access times to the memory can be optimized by appropriate control, for example by storing rarely used note types in sectors at the ends of the tape, while the more common and frequently required note types are stored in the middle of the tape. where faster access can take place.
  • the storing, ie the depositing of the banknotes on the storage tape 22 takes place while the latter runs from the tape winding 26 onto the tape winding 24, ie from right to left in the figures .
  • Banknotes can be removed if the tape runs in the opposite direction. If the sought banknotes are now stored in the winding 26, they would first have to be transported to the belt winding 24 by the loading rocker 28 and then unraveled in the opposite direction. This means a loss of time.
  • FIG. 4 shows a storage arrangement, a loading rocker being assigned to each tape roll.
  • FIG. 4 further shows that several of the memory arrangements shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be arranged next to one another in order to increase the total memory capacity. It is possible to drive the coaxial roller cores via a common motor or also individually.
  • a single storage tape (although it may consist of the sub-tapes 34) was used, the banknotes being clamped between the individual winding layers of the storage tape 22.
  • roller core 10 By a separate motor 14, 16 for each roller core 10 or 12, it is also possible to provide a single motor which drives the belt groups 30, 32 and the storage tape 22 passing between them. The roller cores 10, 12 can then be coupled to this motor via a slip clutch.
