Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einzelblatteingabevorrichtung zur Ausrichtung und geordneten Ablage von Einzelblättern, insbesondere Banknoten in einem Behälter.The invention relates to a single-sheet input device for the alignment and orderly storage of individual sheets, in particular banknotes in a container.

Es ist bekannt, Banknoten beispielsweise in einem Depositbehälter abzulegen. Hier werden sie jedoch ungeordnet hineingeworfen, so dass der Aufwand, die Banknoten wieder zu einem geordneten Stapel aufzuschichten, erheblich ist.It is known to deposit banknotes, for example in a deposit container. Here, however, they are thrown in disorderly, so that the effort to rebuild the banknotes back to an ordered stack, is considerable.

Aus der DE 38 08 624 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Entgegennahme und geordneten Ablage von Einzelblättern in einem Behälter bekannt. Bei dieser Vorrichtung ist vor der Übernahme der zugeführten Banknoten durch das Stapelrad ein Blattförderer vorgesehen. Hierbei kann es jedoch zu einem Schiefzug der Banknoten kommen, was zu Störungen bei der geordneten Ablage der Einzelblätter führt.From DE 38 08 624 A1 a device for receiving and orderly storage of individual sheets in a container is known. In this apparatus, a sheet conveyor is provided by the stacking wheel before the transfer of the supplied banknotes. However, this can lead to a Schiefzug the banknotes, which leads to disruptions in the orderly filing of the individual sheets.

Die Erfindung befasst sich mit dem Problem, eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, mit der es möglich ist, auch schiefgezogene Einzelblätter, insbesondere Banknoten in einem Behälter geordnet abzulegen. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist zum Beispiel in der JP-61-127557-A offenbart. Insbesondere sollen die Banknoten auf ihrer horizontalen Kante stehend abgelegt werden. Des weiteren soll eine Einzeleingabevorrichtung geschaffen werden, die raumsparend in einer Kassette untergebracht werden kann.The invention is concerned with the problem of providing a device with which it is possible to store even skewed individual sheets, in particular banknotes in a container ordered. Such a device is disclosed, for example, in JP-61-127557-A. In particular, the banknotes should be stored standing on their horizontal edge. Furthermore, a single input device is to be created, which can be accommodated in a space-saving cassette.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß Anspruch 1 mit einer Einzelblatteingabevorrichtung gelöst, die eine Ausrichtevorrichtung zum Ausrichten der Einzelblätter und eine Stapelradwelle zur geordneten Ablage der Einzelblätter zu einem horizontalen Stapel, bei dem die Einzelblätter jeweils auf einer horizontalen Kante stehen, umfasst. Durch die Ausbildung des Kammerbodens als Anschlag für die Einzelblätter ist keine separate Anschlageinheit erforderlich, sondern die aus einem Rollenpaar und einer Ausrichtrolle bestehende Ausrichtvorrichtung wirken mit der Stapelradwelle zusammen, so dass eine geordnete Ablage auch schiefgezogener Banknoten ermöglicht ist und insgesamt eine sehr kompakte Einzelblatteingabevorrichtung geschaffen wird.This object is achieved according to claim 1 with a single-sheet input device comprising an alignment device for aligning the single sheets and a Stapelradwelle for the orderly storage of the single sheets to a horizontal stack, in which the individual sheets are each on a horizontal edge. Due to the design of the chamber bottom as a stop for the single sheets no separate stop unit is required, but consisting of a pair of rollers and an aligning alignment with the Stapelradwelle cooperate, so that an orderly filing also skewed banknotes is possible and overall a very compact single-sheet input device is provided.

Further advantages and details of the solution according to the invention will become apparent from the following description, which explains the invention with reference to an embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Show:
FIG. 1
a schematic representation of a single-sheet input device according to the invention;
FIG. 2
a more detailed representation of the stacking wheel of Fig. 1.

In Fig. 1 ist ein mit 1 bezeichneter Behälter 1 dargestellt, der als Kassette ausgebildet ist und vorzugsweise in einem hier nicht dargestellten Tresor eines Banknotenautomaten angeordnet ist. Der Banknotenbehälter 1 besteht aus Kunststoff und ist als Sicherheitsbehälter ausgebildet. Durch den Einsatz von Kunststoff konnte ein gewichtsarmer, aber zugleich stabiler und manipulationssicherer Behälter aufgebaut werden.In Fig. 1, a designated 1 container 1 is shown, which is designed as a cassette and is preferably arranged in a safe, not shown here a banknote machine. The banknote container 1 is made of plastic and is designed as a security container. The use of plastic allowed the construction of a low-weight but at the same time stable and tamper-proof container.

Vor dem Behälter 1 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Einzelblatteingabevorrichtung 2 zur Eingabe und Ablage von Banknoten in den Behälter 1 angeordnet. Die Banknoten werden vom Eingabebereich in die Kassette von einer Transportbahn 4, die mehrere Rollenpaare 5 aufweist, zu der Einzeleingabevorrichtung 2 transportiert. Vor der Transportbahn 4 ist vorzugsweise eine hier nicht dargestellte Vereinzelungsvorrichtung angeordnet, die die Banknoten eines eingegebenen Banknotenstapels vereinzelt, so dass sie als einzelne Banknoten entlang der Transportbahn 4 zu der Einzeleingabevorrichtung 2 transportiert werden. Zwei Leitbleche 3 übernehmen die Führung der Banknoten vom Eingabebereich in die Kassette bis zur Übergabe der Banknoten in die Einzeleingabevorrichtung 2.In front of the container 1, a single sheet input device 2 according to the invention for the input and storage of banknotes in the container 1 is arranged. The banknotes are transported from the input area into the cassette from a transport path 4 having a plurality of pairs of rollers 5 to the single input device 2. In front of the transport track 4, a separating device, not shown here, is preferably arranged, which separates the banknotes of an input banknote stack so that they are transported as individual banknotes along the transport path 4 to the single-input device 2. Two baffles 3 take over the guidance of the banknotes from the input area into the cassette until the handover of the banknotes into the single input device 2.

Die Einzeleingabevorrichtung 2 umfasst zumindest eine Stapelradwelle 6, die von Schrittmotoren angetrieben wird und aus mehrern Stapelrädern 7 besteht. Ein Stapelrad 7 weist vorzugsweise drei Kammern 8 auf, in die die Banknoten eingeschoben werden. Die Bewegung des Stapelrades 7 in einer Taktfrequenz von jeweils 120 Grad wird durch einen hier nicht näher dargestellten Sensor kontrolliert. Die Banknoten werden zunächst von der Transportbahn 4 in eine der Kammern 8 des Stapelrades 7 eingeschoben und dann nach einer Drehbewegung des Stapelrades 7 um einen kleinen Drehwinkel von beispielsweise 10 Grad von einem Klemmhebel 9 in der Kammer 8 geklemmt. Während der weiteren Drehbewegung von ca. 70 Grad werden die Banknoten in der Kammer 8 des Stapelrades 6 gehaltert. Der Klemmhebel 9 gibt die Banknote kurz vor dem Abstreifen der Banknote auf einem Ablageboden 10 der Kassette 1 wieder frei. Nach einer weiteren Umdrehung von 120 Grad wird die nächste Banknote auf dem Ablageboden 10 abgestreift. Auf diese Weise wird sukzessive ein Banknotenstapel gebildet. Da die Stapelräder 7 leicht exzentrisch ausgebildet sind, wird dieser Banknotenstapel bei jeder Umdrehung der Stapelradwelle 6 nach hinten geschoben.The single input device 2 comprises at least one stacking wheel shaft 6, which is driven by stepper motors and consists of several stacking wheels 7. A stacking wheel 7 preferably has three chambers 8 into which the banknotes are inserted. The movement of the stacking wheel 7 in a clock frequency of 120 degrees is controlled by a sensor not shown here. The banknotes are first inserted from the transport path 4 in one of the chambers 8 of the stacking wheel 7 and then clamped by a small rotational angle of for example 10 degrees by a clamping lever 9 in the chamber 8 after a rotational movement of the stacking wheel. During the further rotational movement of about 70 degrees, the banknotes are held in the chamber 8 of the stacking wheel 6. The clamping lever 9 releases the banknote shortly before stripping the banknote on a shelf 10 of the cassette 1 again. After another rotation of 120 degrees, the next bill is stripped on the shelf 10. In this way, a banknote stack is formed successively. Since the stacking wheels 7 are slightly eccentric, this stack of banknotes is pushed backwards with each revolution of the stacker wheel shaft 6.

Die Stapelradwelle 6 besteht aus vorzugsweise aus fünf Stapelrädern 7, die in axialem Abstand voneinander angeordnet sind und bei denen es sich um drei unterschiedliche Typen von Stapelrädern 7 für verschiedene Funktionen handelt. Ein als Messrad ausgebildetes Stapelrad ist mit einem Sensor 11 zur Andruckmessung des Banknotenstapels an die Stapelradwelle 6 ausgestattet und dient darüber hinaus zur Abstützung der Banknoten nach der Beendigung des Ausrichtevorgangs. Dieses Messrad ist einmal vorhanden. Des weiteren sind zwei Stapelräder vorhanden, die durch ihren Kammerboden 12 den Anschlag für den Ausrichtvorgang bilden. Außerdem enthalten diese Stapelräder die Klemmhebel 9 zur reibschlüssigen Mitnahme der Banknoten. Der Bewegungsablauf der Klemmhebel 9 wird über einen kurvenscheibenangesteuerten Exzenter 13 gesteuert. Weiterhin sind zwei Stapelräder vorhanden, die sich durch eine vergrößerte Kammertiefe auszeichnen. Das Messrad ist in der Mitte der Stapelradwelle 6 angeordnet, dann folgen zu beiden Seiten die Stapelräder mit den Klemmhebeln 9 und danach die Stapelräder mit der vergrößerten Stapeltiefe. Die vergrößerte Kammertiefe läßt insgesamt einen Schiefzug der Banknoten von bis zu 10 Grad zu.The stacking wheel shaft 6 preferably consists of five stacking wheels 7, which are arranged at an axial distance from each other and which are three different types of stacking wheels 7 for different functions. A stacker wheel designed as a measuring wheel is equipped with a sensor 11 for measuring the pressure of the banknote stack against the stacking wheel shaft 6 and also serves to support the banknotes after the end of the alignment process. This measuring wheel is available once. Furthermore, two stacking wheels are present, which form the stop for the alignment process through their chamber bottom 12. In addition, these stacking wheels contain the clamping lever 9 for frictional entrainment of banknotes. The movement of the clamping lever 9 is controlled by a cam Eccentric 13 controlled. Furthermore, two stacking wheels are available, which are characterized by an enlarged chamber depth. The measuring wheel is arranged in the middle of the Stapelradwelle 6, then follow on both sides of the stacking wheels with the clamping levers 9 and then the stacking wheels with the increased stacking depth. The enlarged chamber depth allows a total of a Schiefzug the banknotes of up to 10 degrees.

Banknoten mit einem Schiefzug von bis zu 10 Grad werden von einer Ausrichtevorrichtung 10 ausgerichtet, die vor der Stapelradewelle 6 angeordnet ist. Die Ausrichtevorrichtung besteht aus zumindest einem Rollenpaar 15 mit einer elektromagnetisch abhebbaren Gegenrolle 16 sowie aus einer Ausrichtrolle 17. Die Ausrichtrolle 17 wird von einem Gleichstrommotor angetrieben, der hinsichtlich Drehmoment und Drehzahl durch einen Controller gesteuert wird. Allerdings ist auch ein starrer Antrieb in Verbindung mit der Transportbahn 4 möglich. Die Banknoten werden entlang der Transportbahn 4 transportiert und kommen dann in Eingriff mit dem Rollenpaar 15. Durch Sensoren wird festgestellt, ob diese Banknoten einen Schiefzug aufweisen. Sie werden solange weitertransportiert, bis sie auf den Kammerboden 12 der mittleren Stapelräder 7 auftreffen. Den Anschlag für die Ausrichtbewegung der Banknoten bildet somit der Kammerboden 12 der mittleren Stapelräder 7. Sobald in einem der Stapelräder 7 der Kammerboden 12 von der unteren Kante einer Banknote berührt wird und zuvor von den Sensoren festgestellt worden ist, dass es sich um eine schiefgezogene Banknote handelt, wird die Gegenrolle 16 von der Banknote abgehoben, so dass die Banknote nun nur noch in einem punktförmigen Eingriff mit der Ausrichtrolle 17 steht. Die Ausrichtrolle 17 bewegt sich weiter mit der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Transportbahn 4 und schiebt dabei eine schiefliegende Banknote gegen den Anschlag des Kammerbodens 12 der beiden inneren Stapelräder 7, so dass insgesamt die Banknote gerade in der Stapelradwelle 6 liegt.Banknotes with a skew of up to 10 degrees are aligned by an alignment device 10, which is arranged in front of the stacking wheel shaft 6. The alignment device consists of at least one roller pair 15 with an electromagnetically liftable counter-roller 16 and an alignment roller 17. The alignment roller 17 is driven by a DC motor, which is controlled in terms of torque and speed by a controller. However, a rigid drive in conjunction with the transport path 4 is possible. The banknotes are transported along the transport path 4 and then come into engagement with the pair of rollers 15. By sensors, it is determined whether these banknotes have a Schiefzug. They are transported on until they impinge on the chamber bottom 12 of the middle stacking wheels 7. The stop for the alignment movement of the banknotes thus forms the chamber bottom 12 of the middle stacking wheels 7. Once in one of the stacking wheels 7 the chamber bottom 12 is touched by the lower edge of a banknote and has previously been determined by the sensors that it is a skewed banknote is the counter-roll 16 is lifted from the banknote, so that the banknote is now only in a point-like engagement with the alignment roller 17. The alignment roller 17 continues to move with the transport speed of the transport path 4 and thereby pushes a banknote that is skewed against the stop of the chamber bottom 12 of the two inner stacking wheels 7, so that the banknote is located in the stacking wheel shaft 6 in total.

Sobald die Banknote ihre Endposition erreicht hat, d.h. an den Kammerboden der inneren Stapelräder anstößt und somit gerade in der Stapelradwelle 6 liegt, wird die Stapelradwelle 6 beschleunigt und die Klemmhebel 9 klemmen die Banknote in der Kammer 8 fest. Insgesamt erreicht die Umlaufgeschwindigkeit der Stapelradwelle 6 eine höhere Geschwindigkeit als die Transportgeschwindigkeit der Ausrichtrolle 17. Vorteilhafterweise ist daher die Ausrichtrolle 17 als Freilauf ausgebildet, so dass die Banknote durch die Beschleunigung der Stapelradwelle 6 von der Ausrichtrolle 17 abgezogen wird. Nach einer Drehbewegung der Stapelradwelle 6 um ungefähr 70 Grad werden die Klemmhebel 9 wieder von der Banknoten abgehoben, so dass die Geldnote von einer hier nicht näher dargestellten Abstreifvorrichtung aus der Stapelradwelle 9 abgezogen und auf Riemen 18 am Ablageboden 10 des Behälters 1 aufgestellt wird. Die Riemen 18 dienen als aktives Transportmittel zum Transport des sich aufbauenden Banknotenstapels. Zum stabilen Aufbau des Banknotenstapels dient eine Notenstütze 19, welche auf einem Wagen mit Schienenführung angeordnet ist. Die Notenstütze 19 wird über die Riemen 18 und diese über einen Gleichstrommotor entsprechend der Andruckverhältnisse bewegt. Der stabile Aufbau des Notenstapels wird somit durch die Transportriemen 18 in Verbindung mit der Andruckmessung durch den Sensor am Messrad der Stapelradwelle 6 sichergestellt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass kein Kabel an der Notenstütze 19 mitgeführt werden muss. Gleichfalls wird die Prüfung der vollständigen Leerung der Kassette auch mittels des Sensors im Messrad durchgeführt.As soon as the banknote has reached its end position, ie abuts against the bottom of the chamber of the inner stacking wheels and thus lies straight in the stacking wheel shaft 6, the Stapelradwelle 6 is accelerated and the clamping lever 9 clamp the banknote in the chamber 8 firmly. Overall, the rotational speed of the Stapelradwelle 6 reaches a higher speed than the transport speed of the Ausrichtrolle 17. Advantageously, therefore, the alignment roller 17 is designed as a freewheel, so that the bill is subtracted by the acceleration of the Stapelradwelle 6 of the alignment roller 17. After a rotation of the Stapelradwelle 6 by about 70 degrees, the clamping lever 9 are lifted back from the banknotes, so that the bill is withdrawn from a not shown here Abstreifvorrichtung from the Stapelradwelle 9 and placed on belt 18 on the shelf 10 of the container 1. The belts 18 serve as an active means of transport for transporting the accumulating banknote stack. For stable construction of the banknote stack is a note support 19, which is arranged on a carriage with rail guide. The note support 19 is moved via the belt 18 and this via a DC motor according to the Andruckverhältnisse. The stable construction of the pile of notes is thus ensured by the transport belt 18 in conjunction with the contact pressure measurement by the sensor on the measuring wheel of the stacking wheel shaft 6. This has the advantage that no cable must be carried on the music stand 19. Likewise, the check of the complete emptying of the cassette is also carried out by means of the sensor in the measuring wheel.

Somit ist durch das Zusammenwirken von Ausrichtvorrichtung 10 mit der Stapelradwelle 6 eine sehr kompakte Einzelblatteingabevorrichtung geschaffen worden, da es sich nicht um getrennte Module handelt, sondern durch die Ausbildung des Kammerbodens 12 als Anschlag für die Banknoten eine separate Anschlageinheit entfällt und somit insgesamt zur Ausrichtung und Ablage der Banknoten eine integrale Einheit geschaffen worden ist.Thus, a very compact single sheet input device has been created by the interaction of alignment device 10 with the Stapelradwelle 6, since it is not separate modules, but by the formation of the chamber bottom 12 as a stop for the banknotes a separate stop unit is eliminated and thus for total alignment and Storage of banknotes has been created as an integral unit.
