Description

Vorrichtung zur Entnahme von Banknotenbündeln und Bereitstellung an einer Entnahmesteile Device for removing bundles of banknotes and providing them on a removal part
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Entnahme von Banknotenbündeln aus einer Vielzahl von mit einer Verein- zelungseinrichtung zusammenwirkenden Banknotenmagazinen, welche übereinander in einem Gehäuse angeordnet sind, sowie zur Bereitstellung der Banknotenbündel an einer Ausgabeöffnung, umfassend einen Lift mit einem Aufnahmebehälter für Banknotenbündel, welcher zwischen einer unter- halb eines Banknotenmagazins liegenden Aufnahmeposition und einer bei der Ausgabeöffnung befindlichen Bereitstellungsposition vertikal bewegbar ist.The invention relates to a device for removing bundles of banknotes from a multiplicity of banknote magazines interacting with a separating device, which are arranged one above the other in a housing, and for providing the bundles of banknotes at an output opening, comprising a lift with a receptacle for banknote bundles, which is located between one can be moved vertically below a banknote magazine and a ready position located at the dispensing opening.
Eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art mit mehreren Banknotenbehältern ist aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 36 32 108 AI bekannt. Darin ist vor jedem Banknotenbehälter eine Vereinzelungseinrichtung für in dem Banknotenbehälter hintereinander in vertikaler Ausrichtung aufgestellte Banknotenbündel angeordnet . An die Rückseite der Stapel von Banknotenbündeln greift eine Andruckeinrich- tung an, die den Stapel von Banknotenbündeln in Richtung der Vereinzelungseinrichtung vorbelastet. Die Vereinzelungseinrichtung umfaßt ein Übergabestück, das zum Zweck einer Bündelentnahme an die Unterseite des vordersten Banknotenbündels angreift und es anhebt, bis es unter der Wirkung der Andruckeinrichtung über die Vorderwand des Banknotenbehälters kippt und in seiner gekippten Lage auf einer Bündelstütze zu liegen kommt. Darauf wird die Bündelstütze durch Herunterfahren des Lifts abgesenkt, bis das Banknotenbündel auf einer schrägen Ebene in den Auf- nah ebehälter gleitet. Nun fährt der Lift in entgegengesetzter Richtung bis zum nächsten Banknotenbehälter. Der zuvor beschriebene Vorgang wird von unten nach oben bei jedem Banknotenbehälter wiederholt, bis der Lift die Bereitstellungsposition erreicht hat. 2A device of the type mentioned with several banknote containers is known from the German patent application DE 36 32 108 AI. A separating device for bundles of banknotes placed one behind the other in the vertical in the banknote container is arranged in front of each banknote container. A pressure device engages the back of the stack of banknote bundles and preloads the stack of banknote bundles in the direction of the separating device. The separating device comprises a transfer piece which, for the purpose of removing a bundle, engages the underside of the foremost bundle of banknotes and lifts it until it tilts over the front wall of the banknote container under the action of the pressing device and comes to rest on a bundle support in its tilted position. The bundle support is then lowered by lowering the lift until the banknote bundle slides into the receptacle on an inclined plane. Now the lift travels in the opposite direction to the next banknote container. The process described above is repeated from the bottom up for each banknote container until the lift has reached the ready position. 2
Die bekannt Anordnung ist in ihrer Konstruktion recht aufwendig. Hinzu kommt, daß der Lift für jeden Entnahme- Vorgang in einer ersten Richtung bewegt, zurückgefahren und dann wieder in der ersten Richtung bewegt werden muß. Dies hat ständig wechselnde positive und negative Beschleunigungsvorgänge zur Folge, was sich nachteilig auf die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit der Anordnung auswirkt. Negativ auf die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit wirkt sich auch aus, daß den verschiedenen Banknotenbehältern nur nacheinander Banknotenbündel entnommen werden können.The known arrangement is quite complex in its construction. In addition, the lift must be moved in a first direction for each removal operation, moved back and then moved again in the first direction. This results in constantly changing positive and negative acceleration processes, which has an adverse effect on the operating speed of the arrangement. The fact that the bundle of banknotes can only be removed one after the other from the various banknote containers also has a negative effect on the working speed.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Vorrichtung zur Entnahme von Banknotenbündeln aus einer Vielzahl von Banknotenmagazinen vorzuschlagen, die einfach aufgebaut ist und mit einer geringen Zahl unterschiedlicher Bewegungsvorgänge auskommt .The object of the invention is therefore to propose a device for removing bundles of banknotes from a large number of banknote magazines, which is simple in construction and manages with a small number of different movement processes.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst .The object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Die Vereinzelungsvorrichtung und der Lift werden voneinander unabhängig angetrieben und der Aufnahmebehälter des Lifts hat nur eine einzige, unterhalb des untersten Banknotenmagazins vor letzterem liegende Aufnahmeposition für alle übereinander liegenden Banknotenmagazine. Ein Banknotenbündel kann zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt aus einem Banknotenmagazin vereinzelt werden und gelangt dann im freien Fall in den Aufnahmebehälter. Dabei können, vernachlässigt man die unterschiedlichen, vor allem auf den unterschiedlichen Luftwiderstand einzelner Banknotenbündel zurückzuführenden Fallgeschwindigkeiten, alle Banknotenmagazine gleichzeitig ein Banknotenbündel abgeben. Diese werden aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Fallhöhe nacheinander in dem Aufnahmebehälter ankommen. In der Praxis genügt es, bei dem untersten Banknotenmagazin zu beginnen und von unten nach oben jeweils eine geringe Zeitdifferenz zwischen den Vereinzelungvorgängen der 3 übereinander angeordneten Banknotenmagazine vorzusehen. Damit ist trotz großer Kollisionssicherheit der einzelnen Banknotenbündel eine hohe Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit beim Zusammentragen verschiedener Banknotenbündel gewährleistet. Nach dem Zusammentragen transportiert der Lift den Aufnahmebehälter in die Bereitstellungsposition.The separating device and the lift are driven independently of one another and the receiving container of the lift has only a single receiving position for all of the banknote magazines lying one above the other, below the bottom banknote magazine. A bundle of banknotes can be separated from a banknote magazine at any time and then falls into the receptacle in free fall. If one neglects the different falling speeds, which are mainly due to the different air resistance of individual bundles of banknotes, all banknote magazines can simultaneously deliver a bundle of banknotes. These will arrive in the receptacle one after the other due to the different drop heights. In practice, it is sufficient to start at the bottom banknote magazine and, from bottom to top, a small time difference between the separating processes of the Provide 3 stacked banknote magazines. This ensures high working speed when collating different bundles of banknotes despite the high collision safety of the individual bundles of banknotes. After the collation, the lift transports the receptacle to the ready position.
Es sind für den Lift also nur zwei Positionen erforderlich: Eine Aufnahmeposition unterhalb des untersten Banknotenmagazins und die Bereitstellungsposition. Die Steue- rung des Lifts hinsichtlich der genauen Positionen des Aufnahmebehälters erfordert dadurch ebenfalls nur einen geringen Aufwand.So only two positions are required for the lift: a pick-up position below the bottom banknote magazine and the ready position. The control of the lift with regard to the exact positions of the receptacle also requires little effort.
Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist das Banknotenmagazin ein horizontal über Rollen ausge- spanntes Endlosband auf, wobei wenigstens eine der Rollen mit einem Motor antriebsverbunden ist. Auf dem Endlosband sind von dessen Außenseite abstehende normal zur Bewegungsrichtung des Endlosbandes ausgerichtete Blätter mit einem wenigstens der Dicke eines Banknotenbündels ent- sprechenden Abstand angeordnet und die Abgabeöffnung des Banknotenmagazins liegt bei einer der Rollen.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the banknote magazine has an endless belt stretched horizontally over rollers, at least one of the rollers being drive-connected to a motor. On the endless belt, sheets that protrude from the outside thereof and are oriented normal to the direction of movement of the endless belt are arranged at a distance corresponding to at least the thickness of a bundle of banknotes, and the delivery opening of the banknote magazine lies at one of the rolls.
Die Banknotenbündel werden beim Befüllen des Banknotenmagazins zumindest auf dem oberen Trum des Endlosbandes jeweils in eine zwischen zwei benachbarten Blättern gebil- dete Kammer gesteckt. Zur Abgabe eines Banknotenbündels wird das Endlosband derart angetrieben, daß dessen oberer Trum in Richtung der Abgabeöffnung wandert. Dabei schwenkt das der Abgabeöffnung nächstliegende Blatt um die vordere Rolle herum, die Kammer zwischen diesem und dem nachfolgenden Blatt spreizt sich auf und das Banknotenbündel gleitet über das nun nach unten geneigte vordere Blatt von dem Endlosband. Eine Steuereinrichtung sorgt dafür, daß das Endlosband bei jedem Abgabeauftrag nur um die Breite einer Kammer vorrückt. 4When the banknote magazine is filled, the bundles of banknotes are each inserted into a chamber formed between two adjacent sheets, at least on the upper run of the endless belt. To dispense a bundle of banknotes, the endless belt is driven in such a way that its upper run moves in the direction of the dispensing opening. The sheet closest to the delivery opening swings around the front roll, the chamber between this and the following sheet spreads and the bundle of banknotes slides over the front sheet now inclined from the endless belt. A control device ensures that the endless belt advances only by the width of one chamber for each delivery order. 4
Gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist das Banknotenmagazin eine Transportschnecke auf, deren eines Ende die Abgabeöffnung des Banknotenmagazins ist und deren anderes Ende drehbar gelagert und mit einem Mo- tor antriebsverbunden ist. Der Zwischenraum zwischen benachbarten Schneckengängen dient dabei als Aufnahmeraum für ein Banknotenbündel.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the banknote magazine has a transport screw, one end of which is the delivery opening of the banknote magazine and the other end of which is rotatably mounted and is connected to a drive by a motor. The space between adjacent screw flights serves as a receiving space for a bundle of banknotes.
Zur Abgabe eines Banknotenbündels wird die Transportschnecke in Richtung der Abgabeöffnung gedreht. Dabei wandern die zwischen den Schneckengängen gelagerten Banknotenbündel in Richtung der Abgabeöffnung, bis das vorderste Banknotenbündel aus der Transportschnecke fällt. Eine Steuereinrichtung sorgt dafür, daß die Transportschnecke bei jedem Abgabeauftrag nur eine Umdrehung aus- führt .To deliver a bundle of banknotes, the transport screw is turned in the direction of the delivery opening. The bundles of banknotes stored between the screw flights move in the direction of the discharge opening until the foremost bundle of banknotes falls out of the screw conveyor. A control device ensures that the screw conveyor only makes one revolution for each delivery order.

Die Rolle 44 ist mit einem Motor 48 antriebsverbunden. Auf dem Endlosband 46 sind von dessen Außenseite 50 abstehende normal zur Bewegungsrichtung A des Endlosbandes 46 ausgerichtete Blätter 52 mit einem Abstand d angeordnet . Die Abgabeöffnung 54 des Banknotenmagazins 40 liegt bei der vorderen Rolle 42.2, a banknote magazine designed according to a first exemplary embodiment is designated by 40. This has an endless belt 46 stretched horizontally over rollers 42, 44. The roller 44 is drive-connected to a motor 48. On the endless belt 46, leaves 52, which protrude from the outside 50 and are oriented normal to the direction of movement A of the endless belt 46, are arranged at a distance d. The discharge opening 54 of the banknote magazine 40 lies at the front roller 42.
Beim Befüllen des Banknotenmagazins 40 wird jeweils ein Banknotenbündel 56 in eine zwischen zwei benachbarten Blättern 52 auf dem oberen Trum 46' des Endlosbandes 46 gebildete Kammer 58 gesteckt. Zur Abgabe eines Banknotenbündels 56' wird das Endlosband 46 in Richtung des Pfeils A angetrieben, so daß dessen oberer Trum 46' in Richtung der Abgabeöffnung 54 wandert. Dabei schwenkt das der Abgabeöffnung 54 nächstgelegene Blatt 52 ' um die vordere Rolle 42 herum, die Kammer 58 ' zwischen diesem und dem nachfolgenden Blatt 52" spreizt sich auf und das vorderste Banknotenbündel 56 ' gleitet über das nun nach unten geneigte vordere Blatt 52' von dem Endlosband 46.

In Fig. 3 ist ein gemäß einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel gestaltetes Banknotenmagazin mit 60 bezeichnet. Dieses weist eine Transportschnecke 62 auf, deren vorderes Ende 64 bei der Abgabeö f ung 66 des Banknotenmagazins 60 liegt und deren anderes Ende 68 drehbar gelagert und mit einem Motor 70 antriebsverbunden ist. Die Zwischenräume 72 zwischen benachbarten Schneckengängen 74 bilden je- weils einen Aufnahmeraum 76 für ein Banknotenbündel 78. Letere werden dabei mit ihrer Unterseite auf eine horizontale Platte 80 gestellt, durch die die Längsachse 82 der Transportschnecke 62 hindurchläuft.3, a banknote magazine designed according to a second exemplary embodiment is designated by 60. This has a transport screw 62, the front end 64 of which is located at the dispensing opening 66 of the banknote magazine 60 and the other end 68 of which is rotatably mounted and is drive-connected to a motor 70. The spaces 72 between adjacent screw flights 74 each form a receiving space 76 for a bundle of banknotes 78. Letters are placed with their underside on a horizontal plate 80 through which the longitudinal axis 82 of the transport screw 62 runs.
Zur Abgabe eines Banknotenbündels 78 wird die Transport - Schnecke 62 in Richtung des Pfeils B gedreht . Dabei wandern die zwischen den Schneckengängen 74 gelagerten Banknotenbündel 78 in Richtung der Abgabeöffnung 66, bis das vorderste Banknotenbündel 78 ' aus der Transportschnecke 62 und damit von der Platte 80 fällt. Eine nicht darge- stellte Steuereinrichtung sorgt dafür, daß die Transportschnecke 62 bei jedem Abgabeauftrag nur eine Umdrehung ausführt .To deliver a bundle of banknotes 78, the transport screw 62 is rotated in the direction of arrow B. The bundles of banknotes 78 stored between the screw flights 74 move in the direction of the discharge opening 66 until the foremost bundle of banknotes 78 ′ falls out of the screw conveyor 62 and thus from the plate 80. A control device (not shown) ensures that the transport screw 62 only makes one revolution for each delivery order.
In der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung können auch andere als die in Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 beispielhaft gezeigten Bank- notenmagazine verwendet werden. Es ist auch ein sogenannter Wickelspeicher einsetzbar, bei dem eine Vielzahl von Banknotenbündeln zwischen den Windungen eines auf eine Trommel aufgewickelten Bandes gehalten wird. Zur Abgabe eines Banknotenbündels wird das Band so weit von der Trommel abgewickelt bis das Banknotenbündel freigegeben wird. Ein Wickelspeicher für einzelne Banknoten ist z.B. aus der DE 197 06 131 AI bekannt. Von einer ausführlichen Beschreibung wird deshalb abgesehen. 7Banknote magazines other than those shown by way of example in FIGS. 2 and 3 can also be used in the device according to the invention. A so-called winding storage device can also be used, in which a large number of bundles of banknotes are held between the turns of a tape wound on a drum. To dispense a bundle of banknotes, the tape is unwound from the drum until the bundle of banknotes is released. A winding memory for individual banknotes is known for example from DE 197 06 131 AI. A detailed description is therefore not given. 7
Ein Banknotenbündel besteht im einfachsten Fall aus einer Anzahl lose aufeinander liegenden Banknoten. Diese können aber auch durch eine Banderole zusammengehalten oder in einem Kuvert abgelegt sein. In the simplest case, a bundle of banknotes consists of a number of banknotes lying loosely on top of one another. However, these can also be held together by a banderole or stored in an envelope.
