Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport device for single sheets, in particular banknotes with a frame, on which a first transport path, a second transport path directed at an angle thereto and at the connection point between the two transport paths, a switch arrangement are provided with a first switch surface, which together with a the first frame-fixed guide surface delimits a first connection path leading from the first transport path to the second transport path, and with a second switch surface which, together with a second frame-fixed guide surface, delimits a second connection path leading from the second transport path to the first transport path, the two switch surfaces being alternately adjustable in this way that the first transport path is interrupted when the first connection path is opened and the entry opening from the second transport path into the second connection path is closed and the egg is opened when the latter is opened Entry opening of the first transport path in the first connection path is closed and the first transport path is released.
  • a transport device of the type mentioned above can be provided, for example, on a storage device for storing banknotes, for example a winding storage, the first transport path passing outside the storage housing or frame, while the second transport path feeds the banknotes to be stored into or out of the storage lead banknotes to be issued out of the memory.
  • a storage device for storing banknotes for example a winding storage
  • the switch arrangement comprises a strip-shaped switch body with an essentially lent triangular cross section. Two of the triangular sides form the first and the second switch surface and are concavely curved to match the convexly curved guide surfaces fixed to the frame.
  • the switch body is suspended at its longitudinal ends on two levers so that it can be pivoted about an axis parallel to its longitudinal direction. The two levers can be adjusted linearly in their longitudinal direction by means of a drive, so that the switch body is adjusted between a first position in which the first switch surface lies against the first guide surface and a second position in which the second switch surface lies against a second guide surface can be.
  • the switch body If the switch body is pressed in the first position with its first switch surface against the first guide surface, it assumes a pivot position in which the third straight triangle side is aligned with the frame-side rail surface delimiting the first transport path.
  • the other track surface of the first transport track is formed by a solid plate.
  • the switch body In the second position, in which the second switch surface is pressed against the second guide surface, the switch body tilts such that the first switch surface, with its edge adjacent to the third straight triangular side of the switch body, projects into the path of the first transport path, so that the one over the first Transport sheets arriving single sheets are routed into the first connection path. Because of the combined lifting and swiveling movement, a relatively large amount of space is required for the switch body. It is not possible to individually set the gap for the two connection paths.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a transport device of the type mentioned in such a way that the switch arrangement takes up little space, allows an individual adjustment of the width of the connecting paths and is nevertheless inexpensive and easy to manufacture.
  • first switch surface and a third with it forming an acute angle and delimiting part of the transport path Switch surface are formed on a strip-shaped first switch body which extends over the width of the transport tracks and is translationally adjustable between a first position, in which the third switch surface lies in a surface delimiting the first transport track and the first connection path is closed, and a second position , in which the third switch surface is lifted out of the surface delimiting the first transport path and the first connection path is open, that the second switch surface is formed on a strip-shaped second switch body parallel to the first switch body, which is pivotably mounted about a pivot axis parallel to the respective transport plane of the transport paths , and that the two switch bodies are coupled to a drive device for synchronously adjusting the switch body.
  • the switch arrangement according to the invention can also be arranged in a convexly curved surface delimiting the first transport path on the frame side, which can be combined with a belt transport for the transport of the single sheets.
  • the first and the second connecting path converge towards a nip of two transport rollers of the second transport path
  • a locking bar parallel to the switch bodies is arranged so adjustable that in the first position of the first switch body it shields the edges of the switch body facing the nip and blocks the first connection path and in the second position of the first switch body releases the first connection. This prevents leaves running on the second transport path to the switch arrangement from bouncing against the first and / or second switch body.
  • the locking bar reliably ensures that the single sheets in this case are directed into the open second connection path.
  • a synchronous adjustment of the two switch bodies can be realized inexpensively in a simple manner, despite their different adjusting movement, in that the first switch body is connected to at least one rack which is guided at least approximately linearly displaceably on the frame, and that the second switch body with at least one coaxially is connected to its pivot axis curved toothed segment and that the rack and the toothed segment are in engagement with a gear arrangement which is seated on a pivot shaft which is parallel to the pivot axis of the second switch body and which is connected to a pivot drive.
  • a swivel drive is sufficient to adjust both switch bodies.
  • the travel of the two switch bodies can be adjusted individually in that the gear arrangement comprises a first gearwheel engaged with the rack and a second gearwheel coaxial with the toothed segment. This makes it possible to individually select the transmission ratio for the adjustment of the two switch bodies.
  • the locking bar can be adjusted in a simple manner in that it is connected to at least one toothed segment which is pivotably mounted about an axis parallel to the pivoting shaft of the gearwheel arrangement and which is in engagement with the gearwheel arrangement.
  • the toothed segment combined with the locking bar can either mesh with one of the toothed wheels which also drives the toothed rack or the toothed segment connected to the second switch body, or a further toothed wheel can be provided if this is the case is necessary to achieve the appropriate travel of the locking bar.
  • the swivel drive can be realized in a simple manner in that it comprises a linear drive and an actuator connected to it, which is articulated at a point of the gearwheel arrangement remote from the axis.
  • the linear drive is designed in such a way that it acts only in one direction, the gear arrangement being in this case biased in a pivoting direction opposite to the direction of action of the linear drive.
  • the linear drive can be an electromagnet, which acts on the actuator designed as a tension member.
  • the linear drive can also be selected so that it acts in two directions, the actuator being pressure-resistant.
  • the gearwheel arrangement and the actuator are made in one piece, the joint between the gearwheel arrangement and the actuator being formed by an elastic material bridge.
  • the gear arrangement and actuator can be made of plastic, for example, as an injection molded part. Given the limited pivoting angle of the gear arrangement, there is only a relatively small pivoting angle for the joint or film hinge formed by the elastic material bridge between the gear arrangement and the actuator, so that the joint connection is very durable.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic partial section through a frame of a winding memory, not shown, for receiving banknotes perpendicular to Plane of the transport path running cutting plane,
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic side view of a part of the storage arrangement comprising the switch arrangement in a first position of the switch body and
  • Fig. 3 is a view corresponding to FIG. 2 in a second position of the switch body.
  • a frame of a winding memory for holding banknotes (not shown in more detail) is designated by 10.
  • the frame 10 has on its front side a slightly convexly curved surface 12 which represents the boundary surface of a first transport path 14 for banknotes 16 indicated by dashed lines.
  • the other interface of the first transport path 14 is formed by one or more belt drives 18, which can be part of the store itself or of the arrangement in which the store is installed.
  • a second transport path generally designated 20 branches off from the first transport path 14 into the interior of the frame 10 such that the two transport paths 14 and 20 abut one another in a T-shape.
  • the second transport path leads to the actual winding store, which is not shown in detail here.
  • the wall parts 22 and 24 forming the front side 12 of the frame 10 on both sides of the entry and exit opening of the second transport path 20 are so convexly curved toward the inside of the frame that they form a first frame-fixed guide surface 26 and a second frame-fixed guide surface 28 that they face one
  • the nip of two transport rollers 30 of the second transport path 20 converge.
  • switch arrangement In the entry and exit gap of the second transport path formed between the convexly curved frame-fixed guide surfaces 26 and 28 there is a generally 32 designated switch arrangement. This has the task of forwarding individual sheets or banknotes 16 arriving in the direction of arrow A either over the mouth of the second transport path 20 on the first transport path or in the direction of arrow B from the first transport path 14 to the second transport path 20 or in In the direction of arrow C from the second transport path 20 to the first transport path 14.
  • the switch arrangement 32 comprises a first switch body 34 in the form of an elongated strip and a second switch body 36 parallel to it. Both switch bodies 34 and 36 extend over the entire width of the two transport tracks 14 and 20 and each have an at least approximately triangular one Cross-section.
  • the first switch body 34 has a wall which faces the first guide surface 26 which is fixed to the frame and which is at least approximately coaxial with this curved wall and which forms a first switch surface 38 and, together with the guide surface 26 fixed to the frame, delimits a first connecting path 40 which leads from the first transport path 14 to the second transport path 20 leads.
  • the second switch body has a wall which faces the second frame-fixed guide surface 28 and which is at least approximately coaxial with this curved wall and which forms a second switch surface 42 which delimits a second connecting path 44 which leads from the second transport path 20 to the first transport path 14.
  • the first switch body 34 is fastened at its two longitudinal ends to one leg 46 with a right-angled lever 48.
  • the two levers 48 are with their respective because other leg 50 guided in this formed elongated holes 52 and frame-fixed pins 54 on the side walls of the frame 10 in the direction of the double arrow D linearly.
  • the leg 50 is provided on its inside with a toothing 56 so that it forms a rack which meshes with a gear 58 which is arranged on a parallel to the longitudinal direction of the switch body 34 or to the axes of the transport rollers 30 pivot shaft 60 rotatably .
  • Rotation of the gear wheel 58 causes a linear movement of the angle lever 48 and thus an adjustment of the first switch body 34 essentially perpendicular to the front side 12 of the frame 10 between the positions shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the second switch body 36 is pivotally mounted in the side walls of the frame 10 about a pivot axis 62 parallel to the pivot shaft 60. Furthermore, the second switch body 36 is connected at its longitudinal ends to a flat toothed segment 64, the toothed ring of which is curved coaxially to the pivot axis 62 and meshes with a gearwheel 66, which is also seated on the shaft 60 in a rotationally fixed manner. A rotary movement of the gear wheel 66 thus causes the second switch body 36 to pivot about the pivot axis 62 between the positions shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the gears 58 and 66 are rotated together with the swivel shaft 60 via a swivel drive 68 which comprises an electromagnet 70 working on tension and a tension member 72 connected to it, which engages on the circumference of the gear 58 and is articulated to it at 74.
  • the two gear wheels 58 and 66 are preferably made in one piece from plastic together with the tension member 72, the articulation point 74 being formed by an elastic material bridge.
  • the tension member 72 has a head part 76 with a C-groove 78, in which a head 80 of the plunger armature 82 of the electromagnet 70 engages.
  • the swivel shaft 60 together with the gear wheels 58 and 66 is actuated by a spring 84 adjusted, which engages on the one hand on a flange 86 connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the shaft 62 and on the other hand on a point 88 fixed to the frame.
  • a blocking bar 90 Arranged between the nip of the transport rollers 30 and the edges of the two switch bodies 34 and 36 pointing towards the inside of the frame is a blocking bar 90 which is oriented parallel to the pivot axis 60 and is connected at its longitudinal ends to a rocker 92.
  • the two rockers are pivotally mounted about an axis 94 parallel to the pivot axis 60 and carry a toothed segment 96 at their end remote from the axis, via which they engage the gearwheel 58.
  • the gear 58 rotates, the two rockers 92 and thus the locking bar 90 are thus also adjusted between the positions shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the first switch body 34 is completely immersed in the mouth opening of the second transport path, so that its outer side 98 with the front side 12 of the frame 10 and thus the one interface of the first transport track 14 is aligned.
  • This position was achieved by rotating the gears 58 and 66 clockwise, the angle lever 48 so far . has been moved until the pins 54 abut the left ends of the elongated holes shown in FIG. 3. This limits the actuating movement.
  • the gear 66 clockwise the switch body 36 was simultaneously pivoted counterclockwise, so that the second connecting path 44 between the second transport path 20 and the first transport path 14 was opened.
  • the blocking bar 90 was adjusted downwards by the same movement of the gear wheels 58 and 66, so that it now lies in front of the edge of the second switch body 36 pointing towards the transport rollers 30.
  • Banknotes 16 arriving on the first transport path 14 in the direction of arrow A are guided past the switch arrangement 32 and thus remain on the first transport path 14.
  • banknotes from the second transport path 20 can also pass through the second connecting path 44 in the direction of arrow C (FIG. 1) are delivered to the first transport track, on which they can then be discharged in the direction of arrow A.
