Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for processing banknotes, with a transport system with a plurality of transport routes for the transport of banknotes.

  • banknotes are transported in a desired manner from or to individual components of the device.
  • EP 0 811 208 B1 describes an example of such a device.
  • banknotes bundled are entered, isolated, checked, the accepted banknotes fed via a first single turnout an intermediate cash and supplied the unaccepted banknotes on a subsequent second single switch to a separate return tray. If the user agrees with the final filing of the accepted banknotes, they are redirected from the intermediate cash office via the first and the second single points in a final cash in the form of a cassette.
  • a disadvantage of this system is that the arrangement of the various components is fixed by the choice of the switch configuration.
  • a transport route branching is understood to mean a transport node, on which banknotes, for example by means of a switch, can be diverted into different transport routes.
  • a bidirectionally drivable transport path is understood to mean a transport path which can be coupled or coupled to a control unit of the device in order to be able to transport banknotes in this transport path in two opposite directions.
  • the individual components of the device e.g. Input, return, intermediate cash and / or terminal can be connected in any way to the individual inputs / outputs of the switch device.
  • This connection can be very compact and depending on e.g. from the desired outer dimensions of the device.
  • the solution according to the invention makes it possible due to the presence of the bidirectional transport path, for example, that the return and / or end-cash on the first turnout, and not necessarily only on the second turnout can be connected.
  • a particularly compact device according to the invention is realized in that a switch module is provided as a separate component, which is e.g. removable for maintenance purposes and / or can be opened to clear the jam.
  • the FIG. 1 shows a schematic view from the side of a banknote insertion device 1.
  • a modular construction of the device 1 is realized. This means that different functional components can be preferably combined by means of unified interfaces to form a device 1 with desired properties.

  • the basic module 2 comprises a transport system which transports the banknotes between the individual modules.
  • This has, for example u.a. a transport path 9 with alignment function, called alignment line 9 for short, which transports the banknotes individually from the input tray 7 after singulation by the singler 8 to a measuring section 24 of the sensor device 10.
  • alignment line 9 for short
  • an evaluation section 11 as a further transport route, which conveys the banknotes after passing through the measuring section 24 of the sensor device 10.

  • the input tray 7 is used to enter loose bundles of banknotes to be deposited.
  • the operator can enter a bundle of banknotes.
  • the return tray 19 serves to return so-called reject banknotes to the depositor.
  • Reject banknotes are banknotes that could not be correctly evaluated by the sensor device 10 because, e.g. Skew or run-up and / or where other reasons for rejection, such as Multiple copies templates.
  • These banknotes are preferably introduced after passage of the evaluation section 10 without intermediate storage by means of the points module 33 and the transport path 99 in the return tray 19.
  • the input tray 7 and the return tray 19 can be advantageously designed as a combined input / output tray, as exemplified in the PCT application PCT / EP01 / 01902 the applicant is described, which is hereby incorporated as part of this application.
  • the input and output compartment 7, 19 are thus separated from each other only by a thin, movable intermediate bottom plate 22 and are closed by a common pivotable cover 23 in a closed position shown with a solid line and made accessible in an indicated by a dashed line open position.
  • the intermediate bottom plate 22 is pivoted by a servo motor against an upper wall of the input tray 7 in the open position of the cover 23, so that input tray 7 and return tray 19 form a continuous, large input space.
  • the banknotes are singled out of the input compartment 7 by means of a singler 8 known per se and transferred to the connected alignment path 9. It can preferably banknotes in the format 100-185mm long and 60-95mm wide are processed.

  • the alignment path 9 is curved in the direction of movement of the banknotes.
  • the alignment path according to FIG. 1 hereby has an example of a curvature in the form of a "C".
  • a banknote passing through the alignment path 9 thus follows the curvature running in the direction of movement and is thereby curved itself. Due to the curvature, the stiffness of the banknote increases in comparison to the flat position. As a result, even leaves with a high limpness show sufficient stability so as not to be deformed or kinked during the alignment process.
  • the alignment means 25 comprises, for example, one or more polygon wheels 25 which are at an angle to the transport direction and which drive the bank notes against a stop and thereby align them.
  • polygonal or round wheels 25 which act in the transporting direction in order to prevent a reduction in the transport speed of the banknotes.

  • An advantage of the pre-circuit of the alignment section 9 is that the banknotes always in a matching, aligned position and consequently can be transported through the measuring section. This greatly simplifies the evaluation in the sensor device 10.
  • the test section 24 is preferably configured as described below in the paragraph "transport systems" even more precisely described belt transport system. It is designed so that in the Sensormeß Scheme 24 preferably a constant transport speed is ensured. The orientation and the constancy of the speed simplify the evaluation in the sensor device 10 to a particular extent. This is further supported by the fact that the measuring section 24 is currently guided.
  • the evaluation section 11 is connected to the measuring section 24 of the sensor device 10. This is preferably designed as subsequently described in more detail in the paragraph "transport systems" flat belt transport system.

It is essential that the length of the evaluation section 11 and the transport speed of the banknotes in this evaluation section 11 are adjusted so that the measurement data of the sensor device 11 can be evaluated before reaching the light barrier in order to switch the points module 33 according to the banknotes either to redirect to the cashier 6, the return tray 19 or the end-4.
  • An output channel 35 of the transport node 33 opens into the further transport path 99, which leads to the return tray 19 and is preferably also designed as a flat belt transport system.
  • the further output channels 36, 37 lead via the transport routes 107 and 100 respectively to the intermediate cash register 6 and to the cassette carrier unit 3 / end cash register 4 and are preferably designed as track sections of short length as a roller transport system.
