Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ausgabeeinheit zur Ausgabe von Einzelblättern, insbesondere Wertscheinen, mit einem kastenförmigen Behälter zur Aufnahme eines Blattstapels, der mit einer Stapelendfläche in Richtung auf eine vordere Stirnwand des Behälters bewegbar ist, mit einem Aufnahmemodul zur Aufnahme des Behälters und mit einer Abzugsvorrichtung zum Abziehen von Einzelblättern von der Stapelendfläche durch eine Ausgabeöffnung des Behälters, wobei die Abzugsvorrichtung eine zur Anlage an der Stapelendfläche bestimmte antreibbare Abzugswalze, eine parallel zu dieser angeordnete und gleichsinnig mit ihr angeordnete antreibbare Transportwalze und eine dieser zugeordnete und gegensinnig zu ihr antreibbare Gegenlaufwalze hat, die mit der Transportwalze einen Walzenspalt bildet.The invention relates to an output unit for outputting Single sheets, especially bank notes, with a box-shaped Container for holding a stack of sheets, the with a stack end face towards a front Front wall of the container is movable, with a receiving module for receiving the container and with a trigger device for removing individual sheets from the Stapelendfläche through a dispensing opening of the container, the extraction device one intended for abutment with the pile end surface drivable pick-up roller, one parallel to this arranged and arranged in the same direction with her drivable Transport roller and one of these associated and in opposite directions to her drivable mating roll has, with the Transport roller forms a nip.

Eine Ausgabeeinheit der vorstehend genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der DE 28 50 185 A1 bekannt. Sie dient insbesondere zum Abziehen von Banknoten in einem Banknotenausgabeautomaten.An output unit of the aforementioned kind is, for example known from DE 28 50 185 A1. It serves in particular for withdrawing banknotes in a banknote dispenser.

Bei der bekannten Ausgabeeinheit ist die Abzugsvorrichtung Teil des Aufnahmemoduls. Beim Einschieben des Behälters oder der Banknotenkassette in den Aufnahmemodul werden durch das Öffnen einer Verschlußklappe Aussparungen in der vorderen Stirnwand des Behälters freigegeben, in welche axial beabstandete Abzugsrollen der Abzugswalze eingreifen, um in Kontakt mit der Stapelendfläche innerhalb des Behälters zu kommen. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß es nicht immer gelingt, beim Einschieben des Behälters in den Aufnahmemodul einen einwandfreien Kontakt zwischen den Abzugsrollen und der Stapelendfläche über die gesamte Breite derselben zu erreichen.In the known output unit is the trigger device Part of the recording module. When inserting the container or the banknote cassette into the receiving module by opening a flap recesses in the released in front of the front wall of the container axially spaced withdrawal rollers engage the take-off roll, in contact with the stack end surface within the container get. It has been shown that it is not always possible when inserting the container into the receiving module proper contact between the take-off rollers and the Stapelendfläche over the entire width of the same to reach.

In der EP 0 950 532 A wird eine Vorratskassette mit einer Abzugseinheit für Blattmaterial beschrieben, wie sie üblicherweise in Kopiergeräten und Druckern verwendet wird. Der Blattstapel in der Kassette wird hier durch horizontal übereinander liegende Blätter gebildet, die von einer Abzugseinheit vereinzelt werden.In EP 0 950 532 A, a supply cassette with a Trigger unit for sheet material described as commonly used in copying machines and printers. Of the Sheet stack in the cassette is here through each other horizontally lying leaves formed by a trigger unit to be isolated.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Ausgabeeinheit der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß ein einwandfreier Kontakt zwischen der Abzugswalze und der Stapelendfläche des Blattstapels in dem Behälter gewährleistet wird, wenn dieser sich in dem Aufnahmemodul befindet.The invention is based on the object, an output unit to improve the type mentioned so that a perfect contact between the take-off roll and the Stapelendfläche of the sheet stack in the container ensured when it is in the recording module.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß mindestens die Abzugswalze innerhalb des Behälters angeordnet ist.This object is achieved in that at least the take-off roller arranged inside the container is.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung kann beim Füllen des Behälters mit den Blättern die Anlage der Abzugswalze an der Stapelendfläche überprüft und dafür gesorgt werden, daß die Abzugswalze über ihre gesamte Länge mit dem die Stapelendfläche bildenden Einzelblatt in Eingriff steht. Damit ist ein sicherer Abzug der Blätter von dem Blattstapel gewährleistet. Die Position der Abzugswalze relativ zu der Stapelendfläche ändert sich beim Einschieben des Behälters in den Aufnahmemodul nicht.In the solution according to the invention, when filling the container with the leaves the plant of the take-off roller at the Check Stapelendfläche and ensure that the Extractor roller over its entire length with the Stapelendfläche forming single sheet is engaged. This is ensures a safe deduction of the leaves of the sheet stack. The position of the take-off roll relative to the stack end face changes when the container is inserted in not the recording module.

Vorzugsweise ist im Boden des Behälters nahe dessen vorderer Stirnwand ein zur Abzugswalze paralleler Schlitz so angeordnet, daß er mit einer zum Behälterboden mindestens annähernd senkrechten Tangentialebene der Abzugswalze fluchtet. Damit werden die von der Abzugswalze abgezogenen Einzelblätter direkt durch den Schlitz aus dem Behälter herausgeschoben. Ein solcher Schlitz kann ohne große Schwierigkeiten so abgedeckt werden, daß der Behälter manipulationssicher verschlossen ist, solange er nicht in dem Aufnahmemodul steckt. Preferably, in the bottom of the container near the front End wall a slot parallel to the take-off roller arranged so that he at least approximately with one to the container bottom vertical tangential plane of the take-off roll is aligned. Thus, the subtracted from the take-off roll sheets are directly pushed out through the slot from the container. Such a slot can be without much difficulty be covered so that the container tamper-proof is closed, as long as he is not in the recording module plugged.

Grundsätzlich können sowohl die Gegenlaufwalze als auch die Transportwlaze ebenfalls innerhalb des Behälters angeordnet sein. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform jedoch ist die Gegenlaufwalze unterhalb des Behälterbodens an dem Behälter drehbar gelagert, während die Transportwalze an dem Aufnahmemodul drehbar gelagert ist. Dadurch wird beim Herausziehen des Behälters aus dem Aufnahmemodul auch der Walzenspalt zwischen Gegenlaufwalze und Transportwalze aufgelöst, so daß eventuelle Störungen wie im Walzenspalt verklemmte Blätter und dergleichen mühelos beseitigt werden können.Basically, both the mating roll and the Transportwlaze also disposed within the container be. In a preferred embodiment, however, the Counter-rotating roller below the container bottom to the container rotatably supported while the transport roller on the receiving module is rotatably mounted. This will when pulling out the container from the receiving module and the nip between counter-rotating roller and transport roller dissolved, so that any disturbances as jammed in the nip Leaves and the like can be easily eliminated.

Um eine sichere Vereinzelung der Blätter beim Abziehen zu gewährleisten, können die Transportwalze und die Gegenlaufwalze in an sich bekannter Weise aus einer Vielzahl von Rollen bestehen, die axial beabstandet sind, wobei die Rollen der Transportwalze und die Rollen der Gegenlaufwalze axial gegeneinander versetzt sind, so daß die Rollen der einen Walze in die axialen Zwischenräume der anderen Walze eingreifen. Die durch den Walzenspalt laufenden Blätter werden dadurch leicht wellenförmig verformt und es wird die Reibung zwischen den Transport- bzw. Gegenlaufrollen und dem Einzelblatt verstärkt.To ensure safe separation of the leaves when peeling off ensure the transport roller and the mating roller in a conventional manner from a variety of Rolls exist, which are axially spaced, wherein the rollers the transport roller and the rollers of the mating roller axially offset from each other, so that the rollers of a roller in the axial spaces of the other roller intervention. The leaves passing through the nip are thereby slightly wavy deformed and it will be the Friction between the transport or counter-rotating rollers and reinforced the single sheet.

Um die Übergabe der von der Abzugswalze abgezogenen Blätter an die Transportwalze und das Erfassen der abgezogenen Einzelblätter durch die Transportwalze zu verbessern, sind erfindungsgemäß in der vorderen Stirnwand und/oder dem Boden des Behälters Durchtrittsschlitze für die Rollen der Transportwalze ausgebildet, so daß diese beim Einschieben des Behälters in den Aufnahmemodul teilweise in den Innenraum des Behälters eingreifen. Dadurch kann ein von der Abzugswalze in Richtung auf den Schlitz im Boden des Behälters verschobenes Einzelblatt noch im Behälterinnenraum von der Transportwalze erfaßt und sicher aus dem Behälter herausgeschoben werden.To the transfer of withdrawn from the take-off roll sheets to the transport roller and detecting the withdrawn single sheets to improve by the transport roller are according to the invention in the front bulkhead and / or the floor the container passage slots for the rollers of the transport roller trained, so that this when inserting the Container in the receiving module partially in the interior engage the container. This can be one of the take-off roll towards the slot in the bottom of the container moved cut sheet still in the container interior of the Transport roller detected and pushed out of the container safely become.

Zweckmäßigerweise hat auch die Abzugswalze eine Mehrzahl von axial beabstandeten Rollen, wobei die Rollen der Abzugswalze und die Rollen der Transportwalze jeweils in die axialen Zwischenräume der jeweils anderen Walze eingreifen.Conveniently, the take-off roll has a plurality axially spaced rollers, wherein the rollers of the take-off roll and the rollers of the transport roller respectively in the Intervene axial spaces of the other roller.

Um einen gleichmäßigen Anlagedruck zwischen der Stapelendfläche und der Abzugswalze trotz des Abziehens der einzelnen Blätter zu gewährleisten, ist in an sich bekannter Weise in dem Behälter eine Andruckvorrichtung vorgesehen, um den Blattstapel in Richtung auf die vordere Stirnwand und damit in Richtung auf die Andruckwalze vorzuschieben.For a uniform contact pressure between the Stapelendfläche and the take-off roller despite the removal of the individual To ensure leaves is in a conventional manner in the container, a pressing device provided to the stack of leaves towards the front end wall and to advance in the direction of the pressure roller.

Die Abzugsrollen können auf ihrer Umfangsfläche parallel zur Achse gerichtete Mitnehmerzähne oder -rippen haben, um den Reibschluß zwischen den Abzugsrollen und dem jeweiligen Einzelblatt zu verstärken.The take-off rollers can be parallel on their peripheral surface to the axis directed driver teeth or ribs have to the friction between the take-off rollers and the respective Reinforce single sheet.

Die Transportwalze 46 besteht ebenso wie die Abzugswalze 30 und die Gegenlaufwalze 42 aus einer Mehrzahl einzelner, axial beabstandeter Rollen 52, wobei die Rollen 52 der Transportwalze 46 und die Rollen 34 der Abzugswalze 30 sowie die Rollen 44 der Gegenlaufwalze 42 axial so gegeneinander versetzt sind, daß die Rollen der Abzugswalze 30 und der Gegenlaufwalze 42 jeweils in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Rollen 52 der Transportwalze 46 greifen, wenn der Behälter 14 vollständig in den jeweiligen Aufnahmemodul 12 eingeschoben ist, wie dies Figur 2 zeigt.The transport roller 46 is the same as the take-off roller 30th and the mating roll 42 of a plurality of individual, axially spaced rollers 52, wherein the rollers 52 of the Transport roller 46 and the rollers 34 of the take-off roller 30 and the rollers 44 of the mating roll 42 axially against each other are offset, that the rollers of the take-off roller 30 and the mating roll 42 each in the spaces between the rollers 52 of the transport roller 46 engage when the container 14 completely into the respective receiving module 12 is inserted, as Figure 2 shows.

In dem um die Abzugswalze 30 gekrümmten unteren Abschnitt der vorderen Stirnwand 20 sind Schlitze 54 ausgebildet, in welche die Rollen 52 der Transportwalze 46 eingreifen, wenn der Behälter 14 vollständig in den jeweiligen Aufnahmemodul 12 eingeschoben ist, so daß die Transportwalze 46 ein von der Abzugswalze 30 verschobenes Einzelblatt noch innerhalb des Behälters 14 erfassen kann.In the curved around the take-off roll 30 lower section the front end wall 20 slots 54 are formed in which engage the rollers 52 of the transport roller 46, when the container 14 completely into the respective receiving module 12 is inserted, so that the transport roller 46 of a the take-off roller 30 shifted single sheet still within of the container 14 can detect.

Unterhalb der jeweiligen Transportwalze 46 befindet sich eine erste kreisbogenförmig um die Transportwalze 46 gekrümmte Leitfläche 56, die sich bei vollständig eingeschobenem Behälter 14 an den Austrittsschlitz 38 in dem Behälterboden 16 anschließt. Diese Leitfläche 56 leitet die abgezogenen Einzelblätter zu einem Leitblech 58, das jeweils Teil einer Transportbahn für die Einzelblätter ist, die an sämtlichen Ausgabeeinheiten entlangführt und die aus den Ausgabeeinheiten ausgegebenen Einzelblätter zu einer Ausgabestelle des Ausgabeautomaten transportiert.Below the respective transport roller 46 is located a first circular arc around the transport roller 46 curved Guide surface 56, which is fully inserted Container 14 to the outlet slot 38 in the container bottom 16 connects. This guide surface 56 leads the withdrawn Single sheets to a baffle 58, each Part of a transport path for the cut sheets is that on along all the output units and from the Output units output single sheets to an issuing office transported by the dispenser.

Man erkennt, daß der Kontakt zwischen der Stapelendfläche 40 und der Abzugswalze 30 stets erhalten bleibt unabhängig davon, ob der Behälter 14 in den Aufnahmemodul 12 eingeschoben ist oder nicht. Da sich die Abzugswalze 30 bereits innerhalb des Behälters 14 befindet, brauchen keine Öffnungen vorgesehen zu sein, durch welche die Rollen der Abzugswalze in das Innere des Behälters eingreifen können. Die Schlitze 54 in der vorderen Stirnwand 20 für die Rollen 52 der Transportwalze 46 können gegebenenfalls auch weggelassen werden, wenn dadurch die Sicherheit des Behälters vergrößert werden soll. Der Durchtrittsspalt 38 kann so schmal gemacht werden, daß die unbefugte Entnahme von Einzelblättern aus dem Behälter durch den Durchtrittsspalt 38 hindurch äußerst erschwert wird. Die Abdeckung des Spaltes kann auf einfache Weise und mit wenigen bewegten Teilen sowie einem geringen Schließweg der bewegten Teile realisiert werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgabeeinheit ist gegenüber bekannten Ausgabeeinheiten wesentlich einfacher in ihremIt can be seen that the contact between the Stapelendfläche 40 and the take-off roller 30 is always maintained independently of whether the container 14 is inserted into the receiving module 12 is or not. Since the take-off roller 30 already located within the container 14, need no openings to be provided, through which the rollers of the take-off roll can intervene in the interior of the container. The Slots 54 in the front end wall 20 for the rollers 52nd the transport roller 46 may also be omitted if this increases the safety of the container shall be. The passage gap 38 can be so narrow be made that the unauthorized removal of single sheets out of the container through the passageway 38 extremely difficult. The cover of the gap can be done easily and with few moving parts as well realized a small closing path of the moving parts become. The output unit according to the invention is opposite known output units much easier in their

Aufbau und weniger störanfällig. Construction and less susceptible to interference.
