Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Banknotenbehälter für Geldausgabeautomaten gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ein Banknotenbehälter der genannten Art ist aus der DE 36 50 424 T2 bekannt.The invention relates to a banknote container for ATMs according to the preamble of claim 1. A Banknote container of the type mentioned is from DE 36 50 424 T2 known.

Damit Geldausgabeautomaten nicht wegen Geldmangels außer Betrieb gehen müssen, muß der Füllstand der Geldkassetten kontrollierbar sein. Im allgemeinen wird über die Anwendungssoftware des Geldausgabeautomaten der Bestand bilanziert. Dazu müssen die anfänglichen Füllmengen der Geldkassetten oder Banknotenbehälter eingegeben werden, von denen die Auszahlungen abgezogen werden.So that cash dispensers are not except for lack of money Must be operational, the level of the cash cassettes be controllable. In general, about the application software of the cash dispenser balances the inventory. To do this, the initial fill quantities of the cash cassettes must be or banknote containers can be entered, of which the withdrawals are deducted.

In vielen Fällen werden die Füllmengen nicht eingegeben. Andererseits soll jedoch die Betriebsbereitschaft des Geldausgabeautomaten gesichert sein, insbesondere für den Betrieb an Wochenenden. In der DE 36 50 424 T2 wird eine in dem Banknotenbehälter gelagerte Stange vorgeschlagen, die durch eine Federzunge am Andruckschieber beim Erreichen der Meldestellung verschoben wird, so daß ein vor dem Banknotenbehälter außerhalb desselben angeordneter Kontakt geschlossen wird. Ein Anschlag auf der Stange ist für unterschiedliche Restmengenvorgaben einstellbar. Die Kontaktgabe bleibt jedoch nicht bis zum vollständigen Entleeren des Banknotenbehälters bestehen, da die Meldung wieder verschwindet, wenn die Federzunge beim weiteren Vorschieben des Andruckschiebers über den Anschlag auf der Stange gleitet. Außerdem kann die elektrische Speicherung der Meldung bei einer Unterbrechung des Betriebs, beispielsweise durch Herausziehen des Banknotenbehälters aus dem Geldausgabeautomaten verloren gehen.In many cases, the fill quantities are not entered. On the other hand, however, the operational readiness of the cash dispenser be secured, especially for operation at weekends. In DE 36 50 424 T2 an in rod stored in the banknote container proposed by a spring tongue on the pressure slide when reaching the Reporting position is shifted so that one in front of the banknote container contact located outside the same closed becomes. One stop on the pole is for different ones Remaining quantity specifications adjustable. The contact however, does not remain until the Banknote container exist because the message disappears again, if the spring tongue is pushed forward of the pressure slide slides over the stop on the rod. In addition, the electrical storage of the message in the event of an interruption in operation, for example due to Pull the banknote container out of the cash dispenser get lost.

Aus der DE 38 31 658 A1 ist bekannt, vor der Frontwand des Banknotenbehälters und außerhalb desselben einen Reedschalter anzuordnen, während in dem Banknotenbehälter am Andruckschieber ein Dauermagnet befestigt ist, um bei Annäherung des Andruckschiebers an die Frontwand den Reed-Schalter zu betätigen. Nachteilig bei dieser Lösung ist die ungenaue Meldung durch die unterschiedliche magnetische Feldstärke der Dauermagneten und die unterschiedliche Ansprechempfindlichkeit des Reed-Kontaktes, die kurze Reichweite, die nur eine kleine Restmenge erlaubt, und die fehlende Einstellmöglichkeit auf unterschiedliche Restmengen, bei denen die Meldung erfolgen soll.From DE 38 31 658 A1 it is known in front of the front wall of the Banknote container and outside of it a reed switch to arrange while in the banknote container on Pressure slide a permanent magnet is attached to when approaching of the pressure slide on the front wall the reed switch to operate. The disadvantage of this solution is that inaccurate message due to the different magnetic Field strength of the permanent magnets and the different sensitivity of the reed contact, the short range, which only allows a small remaining amount, and the missing Setting options for different residual quantities, where you want to report.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Banknotenbehälter der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Art so auszubilden, daß auch bei relativ großen Restmengen eine zuverlässige und genaue Meldung gegeben werden kann, die auch bei weiterem Betrieb des Banknotenbehälters erhalten bleibt, bis der Behälter wieder nachgefüllt wird.The invention has for its object a banknote container the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 to be designed so that even with relatively large residual quantities reliable and accurate message can be given that received even with continued operation of the banknote container remains until the container is refilled.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing Part of claim 1 specified features solved.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung steht das Schaltelement über den gesamten Verschiebeweg des Andruckschiebers mit der Schalterbetätigungsbahn in Kontakt. Am Schaltpunkt, der beispielsweise durch eine Stufe in der Schalterbetätigungsbahn gebildet wird, ändert sich der Schaltzustand des Schalters, so daß an diesem Punkt eine Meldung an der Anzeigevorrichtung angezeigt werden kann. Da der geänderte Schaltzustand erhalten bleibt, bis auch die letzte Banknote abgezogen wurde und der Andruckschieber seine der Frontwand nahe Endstellung erreicht hat, bleibt die Meldung unabhängig von der Stellung des Andruckschiebers erhalten und zwar auch dann, wenn der Betrieb beispielsweise durch Herausziehen der Kassette aus dem Geldausgabeautomaten unterbrochen wird. Darüber hinaus ist die erfindungsgemäße Lösung auch bei großen Restmengen anwendbar.The switching element is in the solution according to the invention over the entire displacement of the pressure slide with the switch actuation track in contact. At the switching point, the for example by a step in the switch actuation path is formed, the switching state of the Switch so that at this point a message appears on the display device can be displayed. Because the changed Switching status remains until the last banknote was pulled off and the pressure slide its the front wall has reached the near end position, the message remains independent received from the position of the pressure slide even if the company pulls out, for example the cassette from the cash dispenser is interrupted becomes. In addition, the solution according to the invention is also applicable for large residual quantities.

Vorzugsweise ist der Schalter ein Mikroschalter mit einem das Schaltelement bildenden Schwenkhebel, der eine an der Schalterbetätigungsbahn anliegende Rolle tragen kann. Der Schalter kann aber auch von einer Gabellichtschranke gebildet sein, deren Lichtweg durch das verstellbare Schaltelement unterbrechbar ist. Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Schalter von einem Hall-Sensor gebildet, dem ein an dem verstellbaren Schaltelement angeordneter Permanentmagnet zugeordnet ist.The switch is preferably a microswitch with a the switching element forming the pivot lever, the one on the Switch actuation track can bear adjacent role. The Switch can also be formed by a fork light barrier be whose light path through the adjustable switching element is interruptible. In another embodiment the switch is formed by a Hall sensor to which one is connected the adjustable switching element arranged permanent magnet assigned.

Um die Restmenge, bei der eine Meldung erfolgen soll, entsprechend den jeweiligen Erfordernissen einstellen zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Schaltpunkt entlang der Schalterbetätigungsbahn verstellbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist der Schalter an dem Andruckschieber angeordnet und hat ein senkrecht zum Banknotenbehälter auslenkbares Schaltelement, wobei die Schalterbetätigungsbahn am Banknotenbehälter vorgesehen ist und zwei Bahnabschnitte mit verschiedenem Abstand von dem Andruckschieber hat. Um zu verhindern, daß das Schaltelement an der Stufe zwischen den beiden Bahnabschnitten hängen bleibt, sind diese zweckmäßigerweise durch eine Schaltrampe miteinander verbunden. The remaining quantity for which a notification is to be made accordingly to be able to adjust to the respective requirements it is useful if the switching point along the Switch actuation track is adjustable. Preferably the switch is arranged on the pressure slide and has a Switching element that can be deflected perpendicular to the banknote container, the switch actuation track being provided on the banknote container and two track sections with different distances of the pressure slide. To prevent that the switching element on the step between the two track sections gets stuck, these are expediently through a switching ramp connected together.

Um bei der vorstehend genannten Ausführungsform eine Verstellung des Schaltpunktes zu ermöglichen, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß in dem Behälterboden im Weg des Schaltelementes eine Nut ausgebildet ist, deren Boden einen ersten Bahnabschnitt bildet, und daß in der Nut ein diese teilweise abdeckender Schieber verstellbar geführt ist, dessen Oberseite mindestens einen Teil des zweiten Bahnabschnittes bildet. Einerseits bleibt bei dieser Lösung der ebene Boden erhalten, auf dem die Banknoten hochkant stehend verschoben werden können. Andererseits erhält man die beiden durch eine Stufe voneinander getrennten Bahnabschnitte der Schalterbetätigungsbahn, wobei die Stufe in Längsrichtung der Schalterbetätigungsbahn verschiebbar ist.To make an adjustment in the aforementioned embodiment to enable the switching point is invented proposed that in the bottom of the container in the way of Switching element is formed a groove, the bottom of one forms the first path section, and that in the groove this partially covering slide is adjustable, the top of which at least part of the second track section forms. On the one hand, the solution remains the Get a flat floor on which the banknotes stand upright can be moved. On the other hand you get the two web sections separated by a step the switch actuation track, the level in Longitudinal direction of the switch actuation track is displaceable.

Zwischen dem Schieber und dem sich an ihn zur Behälterrückwand hin anschließenden Bahnabschnitt darf beim Verschieben des Schiebers weder eine Lücke noch eine den Schaltzustand des Schalters beeinflussende Stufe entstehen. Dies läßt sich dadurch erreichen, daß der Schieber - im Querschnitt betrachtet - ein Hut-Profil hat und auf einer sich in die Nut erstreckenden Rippe geführt ist, die den an der Behälterrückwand anschließenden Bahnabschnitt fortsetzt. Mit dieser Führung kann der Schieber mit einer sehr dünnen Oberseite ausgebildet werden, so daß die auftretende Stufe, die sich nicht vollständig vermeiden läßt, noch im Toleranzbereich des Schaltweges des Schaltelementes liegt.Between the slider and the attached to the container rear wall adjacent track section may move the slider neither a gap nor a switching state of the switch influencing stage arise. This leaves achieve that the slide - in cross section considered - has a hat profile and one in the Groove-extending rib is guided, which on the rear wall of the container subsequent track section continues. With this guide can be used with a very thin slide Top are formed so that the occurring step, which cannot be completely avoided, still within the tolerance range the switching path of the switching element.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Schieber in verschiedenen Stellungen verrastbar, wobei diesen Raststellungen eine am Behälterboden angeordnete Meßskala zugeordnet sein kann, so daß eine Bedienungsperson den Schieber in eine einer bestimmten Restmenge entsprechende Raststellung bringen kann. The slide is expediently in different positions lockable, these locking positions one on the container bottom arranged measuring scale can be assigned, so that an operator pushes the pusher into a particular one Remaining amount can bring appropriate rest position.

Das Verstellen der Andruckschiebers erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise durch einen Stellantrieb mit einem Elektromotor, der an dem Andruckschieber angeordnet ist und an diesem gelagerte Zahnräder antreibt, mit denen der Andruckschieber an sich parallel zu den Seitenwänden des Behälters erstreckenden Zahnstangen geführt ist.The pressure slide is expediently adjusted by an actuator with an electric motor that is arranged on the pressure slide and mounted on this Drives gears with which the pressure slide on extending parallel to the side walls of the container Racks is guided.

Die Steuerung des Stellantriebes kann dadurch erfolgen, daß eine die Andruckfläche bildende Andruckplatte um eine zur Frontwand und zum Behälterboden parallele Achse schwenkbar an einem Rahmenteil des Andruckschiebers gelagert und von dem Rahmenteil weg vorgespannt ist und daß an dem Andruckschieber ein den Stellantrieb steuernder Schalter angeordnet ist, der durch eine Schwenkbewegung der Andruckplatte betätigbar ist. Wird bei der Bewegung des Andruckschiebers in Richtung auf den Banknotenstapel die Andruckplatte an das Rahmenteil angenähert, weil sich der Banknotenstapel nicht weiter verschieben läßt, so wird dadurch der Schalter betätigt und der Stellantrieb abgeschaltet. Kann der Banknotenstapel durch das Abziehen von Banknoten wieder verschoben werden, so wird die Andruckplatte entlastet und entfernt sich von dem Rahmenteil. Dadurch wird der Schalter abermals betätigt und der Stellantrieb wieder eingeschaltet.The actuator can be controlled in that a pressure plate forming the pressure surface by one to Front wall and axis parallel to the tank bottom can be swiveled mounted on a frame part of the pressure slide and from the frame part is biased away and that on the pressure slide a switch controlling the actuator is arranged is that by a pivoting movement of the pressure plate can be actuated. Will with the movement of the pressure slide towards the stack of banknotes the frame part approximated because the stack of banknotes can not be moved, so the switch actuated and the actuator switched off. Can the stack of banknotes postponed by withdrawing banknotes the pressure plate is relieved and moves away from the frame part. This will make the switch pressed again and the actuator switched on again.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Banknotenbehälter umfaßt ein Behälterunterteil 10 mit einem Behälterboden 12, Seitenwänden 14, von denen in der Figur 1 nur eine dargestellt ist, eine Frontwand 16 und eine am entgegengesetzten Ende des Behälterunterteils 10 angeordnete Rückwand, die in der Figur 1 nicht dargestellt ist. Das Behälterunterteil 10 ist durch einen Deckel 18 verschlossen.The banknote container shown in Figure 1 comprises a Container bottom part 10 with a container bottom 12, side walls 14, of which only one is shown in FIG. 1, a front wall 16 and one at the opposite end of the Lower container part 10 arranged rear wall, which in the figure 1 is not shown. The lower container part 10 is closed by a lid 18.

Der Behälter dient zur Aufnahme eines Stapels von Banknoten 20, die hochkant auf dem Behälterboden 12 stehen und durch einen allgemein mit 22 bezeichneten Andruckschieber in Richtung auf die Frontwand 16 geschoben werden. In der Frontwand 16 ist eine Öffnung 24 ausgebildet, die durch ein Klappvisier 26 verschlossen werden kann und zum Eingriff der Abzugsrollen 28, 30 einer Vereinzelungsvorrichtung des Geldausgabeautomaten dient, wenn der Banknotenbehälter in diesen eingeschoben ist. Der so weit beschriebene Banknotenbehälter ist an sich bekannt und braucht daher nicht erläutert zu werden.The container is used to hold a stack of banknotes 20, which stand upright on the container bottom 12 and through a pressure slide generally designated 22 in Be pushed towards the front wall 16. In the Front wall 16 is formed an opening 24 through a Folding visor 26 can be closed and for engagement the take-off rollers 28, 30 of a separating device of the Cash dispenser is used when the banknote container is in this is inserted. The banknote holder so far described is known per se and therefore does not need to be explained to become.

Der Andruckschieber 22 umfaßt ein Rahmenteil 32, das über Zahnräder 34 auf Zahnstangen 36 gelagert ist, die entlang den Seitenwänden 14 des Behälterunterteils 10 angeordnet sind. Die Zahnräder 34 werden durch einen Schrittmotor 38 angetrieben, der über eine Schleppleitung 40 mit einer nicht dargestellten Stromversorgung und Steuerung verbunden ist.The pressure slide 22 comprises a frame part 32 which Gears 34 is mounted on racks 36 that run along the side walls 14 of the lower container part 10 are arranged are. The gears 34 are driven by a stepper motor 38 driven by a trailing line 40 with a not shown power supply and control connected is.

An dem Rahmenteil 32 ist eine Andruckplatte 42 um eine zur Frontwand 16 und zum Behälterboden 12 parallele Achse 44 schwenkbar gelagert. Die Andruckplatte 42 wird durch eine Feder 46 in einem Abstand von dem Rahmenteil 32 gehalten. An dem Rahmenteil 32 und der Andruckplatte 42 sind einander zugeordnete Schaltkontakte 48, 50 vorgesehen, die bei Kontaktgabe einen Schalter betätigen, durch den der Schrittmotor 38 stillgesetzt wird. Durch diesen Schalter wird die Bewegung des Andruckschiebers 22 gesteuert.On the frame part 32 is a pressure plate 42 to one Front wall 16 and axis 44 parallel to container bottom 12 pivoted. The pressure plate 42 is by a Spring 46 held at a distance from the frame part 32. On the frame part 32 and the pressure plate 42 are mutually assigned switch contacts 48, 50 are provided when contacting press a switch through which the stepper motor 38 is stopped. With this switch the Movement of the pressure slide 22 controlled.

Auf dem Rahmenteil 32 ist ferner ein Mikroschalter 52 angeordnet, dessen mit einer Rolle 54 versehener Schalthebel 56 zwischen einer mit ausgezogenen Linien wiedergegebenen und einer durch strichpunktierte Linien wiedergegebenen Stellung verstellbar ist. Die Rolle des Schalthebels 54 wirkt mit einer allgemein mit 58 bezeichneten Schalterbetätigungsbahn zusammen, die sich parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung des Andruckschiebers 22 erstreckt und einen mit der Bodenoberseite fluchtenden ersten Bahnabschnitt 60 und einen gegenüber diesem abgesenkten zweiten Bahnabschnitt 62 hat, der von dem Boden einer Rinne oder Nut 64 gebildet wird.A microswitch 52 is also arranged on the frame part 32, the shift lever 56 provided with a roller 54 between one with solid lines and a position represented by dash-dotted lines is adjustable. The role of the shift lever 54 acts with a switch actuation track generally designated 58 together, which is parallel to the direction of movement of the pressure slide 22 and one with the top of the floor aligned first track section 60 and one compared to this lowered second track section 62, which is formed by the bottom of a groove or groove 64.

Die Länge der Bahnabschnitte 60 und 62 ist einstellbar. Hierzu dient ein Schieber 66, der gemäß Figur 2 ein Hut-Profil hat mit einem Längssteg 68 und zwei zu diesen senkrechten Schenkeln 70, an die sich wiederum rechtwinklig nach außen abgebogene Stege 72 anschließen. Der Schieber 66 ist auf einer Rippe 74 geführt, die sich über einen Teil der Nut 64 in diese hinein erstreckt und deren Höhe so bemessen ist, daß die Oberfläche des Schiebers 68 mit der Innenfläche des Behälterbodens 12 fluchtet, wie dies in den Figuren 1 und 2 zu erkennen ist. An seinem freien Ende hat der Schieber eine schräge Fläche 76, die als Schaltrampe dient. An einer sich an die Schrägfläche 76 nach rückwärts anschließenden Federzunge 78 des Schiebers ist ein Rastnokken 79 ausgebildet, der in Rastvertiefungen 80 eingreifen kann, die in dem Boden der Nut 64 ausgebildet sind. Damit kann der Schieber 66 auf der Führungsrippe 74 verschoben werden, wie dies in Figur 1 durch die verschiedenen in ausgezogenen Linien oder strichpunktierten Linien wiedergegebenen Stellungen angedeutet ist.The length of the track sections 60 and 62 is adjustable. For this purpose, a slide 66 is used, which according to FIG. 2 has a hat profile has a longitudinal web 68 and two perpendicular to these Legs 70, in turn, at right angles Connect webs 72 bent outwards. The slider 66 is guided on a rib 74 which extends over a part the groove 64 extends into the latter and the height thereof is so dimensioned is that the surface of the slider 68 with the inner surface of the container bottom 12 is aligned, as this in the Figures 1 and 2 can be seen. Has at its free end the slider has an inclined surface 76 which acts as a switching ramp serves. One backwards on the inclined surface 76 subsequent spring tongue 78 of the slide is a latching cam 79 formed, which engage in recesses 80 may be formed in the bottom of the groove 64. In order to the slider 66 can be moved on the guide rib 74 are, as shown in Figure 1 by the various in Lines or dash-dotted lines Positions is indicated.

Der Schalter 52 ist mit einer nicht dargestellten Anzeigevorrichtung verbunden. Die Schrägfläche 76 an dem Schieber 66 definiert einen Schaltpunkt, an dem der Schalthebel 56 aus der in Figur 1 durch strichpunktierte Linien wiedergegebenen Stellung in die durch ausgezogene Linien wiedergegebene Stellung übergeht, wenn der Andruckschieber 22 sich in Richtung auf die Frontwand 16 bewegt. Da dieser Schaltpunkt einer bestimmten Stellung des Andruckschiebers 22 innerhalb des Behälters entspricht, kann durch diese Schalterbetätigung die Restmenge an Banknoten angezeigt werden, die noch zwischen der Frontwand 16 und der Andruckplatte 42 des Andruckschiebers 22 vorhanden ist. Durch Verschieben des Schiebers 66 kann der Schaltpunkt nach vorne oder rückwärts verlegt und damit die Größe der Restmenge, bei der eine Meldung auf der Anzeigevorrichtung erscheint, bestimmt werden. Um das Einstellen der gewünschten Restmenge zu erleichtern, ist bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform auf der Oberseite der Führungsrippe 74 eine Meßskala 82 aufgetragen, die mit der Rückkante 84 des Schiebers 66 zusammenwirkt. The switch 52 is with a display device, not shown connected. The sloping surface 76 on the slide 66 defines a shift point at which the shift lever 56 from that shown in FIG. 1 by dash-dotted lines Position in the position shown by solid lines Position changes when the pressure slide 22 itself moved towards the front wall 16. Because this switching point a certain position of the pressure slide 22 within of the container can be operated by this switch the remaining amount of banknotes are displayed, between the front wall 16 and the pressure plate 42 of the pressure slide 22 is present. By moving the slider 66 can switch the switching point forward or backward relocated and thus the size of the remaining quantity at which a message appears on the display device become. To make it easier to set the desired remaining amount, is on in the illustrated embodiment a measuring scale 82 is applied to the top of the guide rib 74, which cooperates with the rear edge 84 of the slide 66.

Wie man in Figur 1 erkennt, hat der Bahnabschnitt 60 der Schalterbetätigungsbahn 58 im Anschluß an die Rückkante 84 des Schiebers 66 ebenfalls eine geringfügige Vertiefung. Jedoch ist die Stärke des Steges 68 des Schiebers 66 und damit die Vertiefung so gering, daß eine dadurch hervorgerufene Bewegung des Schalthebels 56 an dem Schalter 52 nicht zu einer Betätigung desselben führt.As can be seen in Figure 1, the web section 60 has the Switch actuation track 58 following the rear edge 84 the slider 66 also a slight depression. However, the thickness of the web 68 of the slide 66 and so that the depression is so small that one caused by it Movement of the shift lever 56 on the switch 52 does not lead to its actuation.

Die herkömmlichen Banknotenbehälter haben üblicherweise an ihrer Außenseite einen Stecker, der mit einem Gegenstecker des Geldausgabeautomaten in Kontakt tritt, wenn der Banknotenbehälter in den Geldausgabeautomaten eingeschoben wird. Über diesen Stecker kann auch die Verbindung des Schalters 52 mit der Anzeigevorrichtung geführt werden, so daß die erfindungsgemäße Banknotenkassette auch in herkömmlichen Bankautomaten eingeschoben werden kann.The conventional banknote containers are usually on on the outside of it a connector with a mating connector of the cash dispenser comes into contact when the banknote container is inserted into the cash dispenser. This switch can also be used to connect the switch 52 are performed with the display device, so that the banknote cassette according to the invention also in conventional ATMs can be inserted.
