Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for stacking sheet material and a spiral stacker, in particular for use in a banknote processing device.
  • the banknotes are generally separated in a stack and guided past a sensor device by means of a transport path.
  • the individual banknotes are checked by sensors of the sensor device and fed to specific destinations or stacker units depending on the test result.
  • a plurality of sensors can be provided for checking the banknotes, which assess the banknotes according to different criteria.
  • the stacker In connection with the solution, in which the already isolated banknotes are temporarily stored in the stacker itself, the stacker is designed as a spiral Technical stackers executed, as described for example in DE-OS 3232348.
  • the stripper for moving out the banknotes accommodated in the compartments of the stacker wheel is designed to be movable, so that it can be moved out of the stacker wheel or into the stacker wheel.
  • the components work together in such a way that the movable stripper pulls the hundredth banknote onto the stacking tray as it moves out of the stacker wheel and the banknotes located in the next compartments of the stacker remain in the stacker wheel.
  • the stacker wheel continues to rotate and picks up the banknotes that were already isolated at the time of the interruption. As soon as the stacking tray is emptied and ready for stacking a next stack of banknotes, the stripper is moved back into the stacker wheel. The stacking process is then continued in the usual way.
  • the stripper In order to prevent the stripper from colliding with the banknotes located in it when returning to the stacker wheel or that the stacker wheel must be stopped to avoid such a collision, the stripper is designed at least in two parts, only a first part in the manner described is moved out of the stacker wheel. At the moment when the first part of the stripper is moved out of the stacker wheel, the second part of the stripper is also released from its stripping position. The second part of the stripper is also movable. However, it is not moved out of the stacker wheel but rotates with the stacker wheel after it has been released from the stripping position. In the meantime, further bank notes are fed to the stacker wheel, so that the transfer of bank notes to the transport system of the bank note processing machine does not have to be interrupted.
  • the second part of the stripper rotates with the stacker wheel until the stacking tray is ready to receive a next stack of banknotes and the second part of the stripper has reached its stripping position again. It is then locked again in the stripping position, the stacker wheel still rotating. There- is achieved in that the bank notes located in the stacker wheel are stripped from the stacker wheel by the second part of the stripper from the moment they are locked and are stacked on the stacking tray. Now the first part of the stripper can be moved back to the stripping position in the same way it was moved out of the stacker wheel. A collision with the banknotes located in the stacker wheel is impossible, since in this phase the second part of the stripper will strip them out of the stacker wheel.
  • the second part of the stripper which rotates with the stacker wheel, is returned to its stripping position and locked against the direction of rotation of the stacker wheel.
  • This has the advantage that it does not lead past the banknote supply point and accordingly the supply of further banknotes to the stacker wheel is not blocked.
  • this second embodiment is only practical if the second part of the stripper has not yet moved too far away from the stacking shelf, since the banknotes, while moving back the second stripping part, stripped out of the compartments, but would then no longer be reliably stacked onto the stacking shelf. It is therefore important in this embodiment that the stacking tray is prepared as quickly as possible for the next stack of banknotes to be stacked.
  • the second part of the stripper that is moved along can already be moved back into its stripping-off position, the banknotes located in the intermediate compartments of the stacker wheel being slipped onto the auxiliary stacking tray.
  • the first part of the scraper moved out of the stacker wheel is then moved back into the stacker wheel.
  • the stacking process is then continued in the usual way.
  • the auxiliary stacking station and the stacking station are preferably designed in a rake-like manner such that they can be brought to the same level when the stack of stacked banknotes has been removed from the stacking station.
  • Figures 2a and 2b a second embodiment of the invention and Figures 3a and 3b, a third embodiment of the invention.
  • Figures la and ld show a spiral stacker of a banknote processing machine at different times of operation.
  • the banknote processing machine not shown in detail here is otherwise constructed as described in DE 4437722 AI, including transport systems, switches, sensors and the like.
  • the spiral compartment stacker described below is also suitable in other devices for stacking sheet material.
  • the spiral compartment stacker has a stacker wheel 1 with compartments spirally arranged one behind the other around an axis of rotation. The direction of rotation of the stacker wheel is indicated by an arrow.
  • Bank notes 98 to 104 are successively fed to the stacker wheel 1.
  • FIG. 1 a shows the spiral compartment stacker 1 at the moment the bank note 104 is fed.
  • a stripper 2 engages the spiral stacker in the usual way.
  • the compartments receiving the banknotes are formed by juxtaposed, spaced-apart stacker wheel fingers 3, between which the stripper 2 engages with suitably adapted, juxtaposed stripping fingers.
  • the spiral compartment stacker is shown schematically in section in FIG. 1 a, so that only one stripping finger and one stacker wheel finger plane are shown.
  • the stacking process is interrupted so that the banknote stack 5 can be removed from the stacking tray 4 before the next stack of banknotes is stacked.
  • the stripper 2 as described in DE 4437 722 AI, is moved out of the stacker wheel 1 in a very specific way, so that the hundredth banknote 100 is just stripped from the stacker wheel 1 onto the banknote stack 5, as in FIG. 1b indicated. ,
  • the movement of the stripper part 2a is correlated by suitable measures with the rotation of the stacker wheel 1 in such a way that the desired purpose of just stripping out a certain banknote and leaving the next banknote in the stacker wheel is achieved.
  • the spreading part 2a can have a separate, electronically controlled drive or can be mechanically coupled to a contour disk, as described in DE 4437722 AI.
  • a not shown locking of the second part 2b of the stripper 2 to fix it in the stripping position shown in Figure la is released at the moment when the first part 2a of the stripper 2 is moved out of the stacker wheel 1.
  • a separate drive can be provided.
  • the stripper is connected to the drive shaft of the stacker wheel 1 via a coupling (not shown) and locked in its stripping position by means of a release mechanism or released after the hundredth banknote has been stripped out, so that it rotates synchronously with the stacker wheel 1.
  • the clutch can also be designed as an electrically actuable magnetic clutch.
  • FIG. 1c shows the stacker wheel 1 with the rotating part 2b of the stripper 2 and the first part 2a of the stripper 2 which has been completely moved out of the stacker wheel 1 after the hundredth banknote 100 has been stripped onto the banknote stack 5.
  • the loosest banknote 106 has already been brought up to the stacker wheel 1.
  • the stack of banknotes 5 is now removed from the stacking station 4 in order to prepare the stacking station for receiving the next stack of banknotes.
  • the stacker wheel 1 continues to rotate until the second part 2b of the stripper 2 has reached the stripping position according to FIG. This is shown in Figure ld. Since, in the meantime, further bank notes 107 to 112 are fed to the stacker wheel 1, there are individual bank notes Fan the stacker wheel 1 two or possibly more banknotes when the second part 2b of the stripper 2 has reached its stripping position again.
  • the second part 2b of the stripper 2 is then locked again in the stripping position, so that the banknotes located in the compartments of the stacker wheel are stripped onto the stacking tray 4 in the usual way by the second part 2b of the stripper 2. Now the first part 2a of the stripper 2 can also be moved back into the stripping position. There can be no collision with the banknotes located in the stacker wheel, since these are now stripped by the second part 2b of the stripper 2. In particular, the stacker wheel 1 does not need to be stopped when the first part 2a of the stripper 2 is moved back into the stripping position.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b show a second embodiment of the spiral compartment stacker, which in principle functions in exactly the same way as the embodiment previously described with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1d.
  • Figure 2a shows the stacker wheel 1 at the same time as Figure lc. The procedure is identical in this respect.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b show a second embodiment of the spiral compartment stacker, which in principle functions in exactly the same way as the embodiment previously described with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1d.
  • Figure 2a shows the stacker wheel 1 at the same time as Figure lc. The procedure is identical in this respect.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b show a second embodiment of the spiral compartment stacker, which in principle functions in exactly the same way as the embodiment previously described with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1d.
  • Figure 2a shows the stacker wheel 1 at the same time as Figure lc. The procedure is identical in this respect.
  • the stacking tray 4 and the auxiliary stacking tray 6 are preferably designed like a comb.
  • the stacking tray 4 with the banknote stack 5 is lowered so that the auxiliary stacking system 6 can be positioned above it.
  • the stack of banknotes 5 After the stack of banknotes 5 has been removed from the stacking tray 4, it is raised to the level of the auxiliary stacking tray 6 with the banknotes 101, 109, 102, HO etc. stacked thereon to the level of the stacking tray 4 in such a way that the tines of the two trays 4 and 6 interlock like a comb and form a common shelf.
  • the auxiliary stacking tray 6 is fed, for example, in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the stacker wheel.
  • the supply of further banknotes to individual compartments of the stacker wheel 1 is temporarily blocked by the second part 2b of the stripper 2, which rotates with the stacker wheel 1. If these compartments cannot be moved past the banknote supply point before a next banknote is fed to the stacker wheel 1, this next banknote must be temporarily stored, for example in a puff integrated into the transport path. The technical outlay associated with such a puff can be avoided if the spiral stacker is designed as shown in FIGS. 3a, 3b.
  • the auxiliary stacking tray 6 is used again, which makes it possible to start stacking a next stack of banknotes even before the stacking of banknotes 5 has been cleared from the stacking tray 4.
  • Figure 3a shows the spiral stacker in the same position as Figure 2a.
  • the second part 2b of the stripper 2 is only moved with the stacker wheel 1 until the hundredth banknote 100 has been slipped onto the stacking tray 4.
  • the stacking tray 4 is then lowered, the auxiliary stacking tray ge 6 positioned over the lowered stacking tray 4 and the second part 2b of the stripper 2 against the direction of rotation of the stacker wheel 1 moved back into the stripping position.
  • FIG. 3b shows the stacker wheel 1 with the second part 2b of the stripper 2 moved back into the stripping position and the inserted intermediate stack tray 6.
  • the stripping of the first banknote 101 for the next stack of banknotes begins when the second part 2b of the stripper 2 is moved back into the stripping position and is ended approximately when the auxiliary stacking tray 6 has reached its position for stacking the next stack of banknotes.
  • the first part 2a of the stripper 2 can be moved into the stacker wheel 1 without risk of collision with the banknotes located in the stacker wheel 1.
  • the stacking deposit 4 is raised to the level of the auxiliary stacking deposit 6 in the manner described above, and this can be moved out of its comb-like engagement with the stacking deposit 4.
