Definitions

  • Banknote processing machine with a device for accepting banknotes
  • the present invention relates to a banknote processing machine with a device for receiving banknotes.
  • Banknote processing machines with a device for receiving banknotes are known. Such devices are generally referred to as cassettes.
  • the known cassettes have a housing, the walls of which are arranged in accordance with the size of the banknotes to be accommodated.
  • the cassette has an inner surface which defines a storage surface which corresponds approximately to the size of the banknotes to be accommodated.
  • a position-adjustable bottom is also arranged inside the cassette, on which the banknotes to be recorded are placed.
  • suitable means e.g. B. a motor, threaded rods etc., which can be part or all of the component of the cassette, the position of the bottom can be adjusted, the adjustment being carried out depending on the amount of banknotes already accommodated in the cassette. This ensures that the banknote to be picked up next is deposited more or less directly on the floor or the banknotes already picked up.
  • the cassette must have at least one inner surface which results from the maximum dimensions of the short and long sides of the banknotes to be received. If banknotes of different formats are to be accommodated in the cassette at the same time, the size of the storage surface must be adapted to the largest banknote. If, on the other hand, only banknotes of the same size are to be accommodated in the cassette, the size of the storage area can be adapted to the size of these banknotes, as a result of which a better quality in the stacking of the banknotes is achieved.
  • cassettes have become known which, in addition to outer walls, have at least two inner walls which can be used to adapt the size of the inner surface of the cassette to the size of the banknotes to be received.
  • the known cassettes have the problem that the adjustment of the size of the inner surface has to be carried out by hand outside the bank note processing machine and is usually very imprecise, since the adjustable inner walls have to be adjusted exactly to the desired bank note size.
  • manual adjustment of the inner walls is cumbersome and difficult, especially with larger cassettes.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a banknote processing machine with a device for receiving banknotes which can be easily and precisely adjusted to the size of banknotes to be accepted.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that a banknote processing machine with a device for receiving banknotes, with outer walls that form an inner surface, and movable inner ones Walls, for adjusting the size of a storage area for the banknotes to be accommodated, has an adjusting device which adjusts the movable inner walls during and / or after the insertion of the device for accommodating banknotes in such a way that a predeterminable size for the storage area results.
  • the advantage of the invention can be seen in particular in the fact that it is ensured in this way that the storage surface required for storing the banknotes to be accommodated in the device is always set exactly to the required size.
  • the setting is done by the egg adjusting device, so that cumbersome and imprecise settings are made by hand.
  • FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a basic structure of a device for receiving banknotes
  • FIG. 2 shows a first element for adjusting the size of the interior of the device for receiving banknotes
  • FIG. 3 shows a second element for adjusting the size of the interior of the device for receiving banknotes
  • FIG. 4 shows a first embodiment of a third element for the size adjustment of the interior of the device for receiving banknotes at a first point in time
  • FIG. 5 shows the third element for the size adjustment according to FIG. 4 at a second point in time
  • FIG. 6 shows the third element for the size adjustment according to FIG. 4 at a third point in time
  • FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of a third element for adjusting the size of the interior of the device for receiving banknotes
  • Figure 9 shows a third embodiment of a third element for the size adjustment of the interior of the device for receiving banknotes.
  • FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a basic structure of a device for receiving banknotes.
  • the device 10 for receiving banknotes consists of a container or a cassette and is formed by outer walls.
  • handles 15 can be attached to the device 10 for receiving banknotes.
  • An inner surface cross-sectional area of the container
  • An inner surface is defined by the walls, the inner surface being able to be limited by inner walls 11, 12 in order to change the inner surface available for accommodating banknotes in such a way that it can be adapted to the size of the banknotes to be accommodated.
  • the illustration shows, for example, the case of the smallest inner area, ie a storage area required for the smallest type of banknote.
  • the storage surface is formed by a floor located in the device 10 for receiving banknotes, which is adjustable in height, ie the position of the floor can be changed within the device 10 for receiving banknotes along the longest dimension of the device.
  • the position of the bottom is determined depending on the amount of banknotes received.
  • the storage shelf is located near the upper edge of the device 10 for receiving banknotes. With increasing filling of the device 10 for receiving banknotes, the storage shelf is lowered accordingly to an end point.
  • a clutch 16 is provided for changing the position of the storage shelf.
  • FIG. 2 shows a first element for adjusting the size of the interior of the device 10 for receiving banknotes.
  • the inner walls 11, 12 are formed by a surface 13 of the first element.
  • the first element 13 can be formed, for example, by a so-called "Nuremberg pair of scissors", which enables the surface 13 to be displaced in parallel.
  • a connection 14 is provided in the lower part of the surface 13, into which a third element explained later engages for the size adjustment of the interior of the device 10.
  • FIG. 3 shows a second element for adjusting the size of the interior of the device for receiving banknotes.
  • the second element forms the floor described above, which forms a storage area for the banknotes to be picked up.
  • the second element 17 has incisions 18 and 19 in which the first elements 11 and 12 engage.
  • the end points of the cuts 18 and 19 define the area for the smallest banknote to be picked up, which is achieved when the scissors of the first elements 11 and 12 are opened and their faces 13 abut the end points of the cuts 18 and 19.
  • the area for the largest banknote to be picked up accordingly results when the scissors of the first elements 11 and 12 are closed.
  • the storage area is smaller than the inner surface of the device 10 for receiving banknotes, since the closed scissors of the first elements 11 and 12 also protrude into the incisions 18 and 19.
  • the maximum storage area can also correspond to the inner surface of the device 10 for receiving banknotes if there are recesses or depressions for the scissors of the first elements 12 and 11 in the outer walls.
  • FIG. 4 shows a first embodiment of a third element for the size adjustment of the interior of the device 10 for receiving banknotes at a first point in time.
  • the device 10 for receiving banknotes shows a view of the bottom thereof. A possible floor covering is not shown.
  • the third element for the size adjustment of the interior of the device 10 for receiving banknotes has a rail 123 with teeth 121 which runs in a guide 124.
  • the rail 123 is fixed in its position in the guide 124 by a first locking device 120, which engages in the toothing 121.
  • the first detent 120 is part of a first lever 110 which is pivotally mounted about an axis 111.
  • the inner wall 12 or the connection 14 (FIG. 2) of the first element 12 is attached to the rail 123.
  • the rail 123 is in the illustration in a first end position, in which the maximum size for the long side of the storage area defined by the inner wall 12 results. If the rail 123 is displaced in the direction of the end of the guide 124 on the right in the illustration, a second end position of the rail 123 is reached in which the minimum size for the long side of the storage area defined by the inner wall 12 results.
  • a second lever 130 which is pivotally mounted about an axis 131, has a toothing 141 into which a second locking device 140 of the first lever 110 engages, as a result of which the position of the second lever 130 is fixed.
  • the second lever 130 moves via a connection 133, which runs in a guide 134, the inner wall 11, the z. B. as shown in Figure 1, can be formed by two Nuremberg scissors ( Figure 2), in which case the connection 133 to the connections 14 of the Nuremberg scissors a acts to adjust this.
  • the second lever 130 is shown in a first end position, in which the maximum size for the short side of the storage area defined by the inner wall 11 results. If the second lever 130 is pivoted in the direction of the end of the guide 134 shown at the top, a second end position of the second lever 130 is reached, in which the minimum size for the short side of the storage area defined by the inner wall 11 results ,
  • the setting device 20 serves to set the inner walls 11, 12 in order to be able to set the desired size of the storage surface for banknotes.
  • the adjusting device 20 has three elements 21 to 23 adjustable in length, e.g. B. threaded rods.
  • the dividing device 20 is part of the banknote processing machine for which the device 10 is intended for receiving banknotes. If the device 10 for the

  • Rails or a drawer-like base can be provided to facilitate the insertion of the device 10 for receiving banknotes.
  • FIG. 5 shows the third element for the size adjustment of the interior of the device 10 for receiving banknotes according to FIG. 4 at a second point in time.
  • the device 10 for receiving banknotes has been inserted into the banknote processing machine in the direction E so far and thus shifted in the direction of the setting device 20 that an increase 24 on the element 23 for adjustment is set to one Edge 115 of the first lever HO hits. Due to the pressure exerted on the edge 115 by the elevation 24, the first lever 110 is pivoted about the axis 111, as a result of which the first locking device 120 releases the rail 123 and the second locking device 140 releases the second lever 130.
  • the second lever 130 attached reset element 132, z. B. a spring the second lever 130 is brought into its first end position, in which the maximum size for the short side of the storage surface defined by the inner wall 11 results.
  • On the rail 123 is also a reset element, for. B. a spring attached (not shown), which brings the rail 123 in its first end position, in which the maximum size for the long side of the storage space defined by the inner wall 12 results.
  • FIG. 6 shows the third element for the size adjustment of the interior of the device 10 for receiving banknotes according to FIG. 4 at a third point in time.
  • the device 10 for receiving banknotes is inserted in its end position in the banknote processing machine.
  • the elevation 24 of the adjustment element 23 has passed the edge 115 of the first lever 110 so that the first lever 110 has returned to its original position.
  • the first and second detents 120 and 140 therefore engage again in the teeth 121 and 141.
  • the elements 21 and 22 for adjustment which have also penetrated into the device 10 for receiving banknotes at the time shown are in contact 21a with the rail 123 and in contact 22a with the second lever 130.
  • the rail 123 is displaced in the guide 124 and thus the inner wall 12 is brought into the desired position and on the other hand the second lever 130 is pivoted about the axis 131 so that the connection manure 133 is moved in the guide 134, whereby the inner wall 11 is brought into the desired position.
  • the storage space required for the banknotes to be received in the device 10 for receiving banknotes can thus be set without having to make complicated and imprecise adjustments of the inner walls 11, 12 by hand, e.g. , This is the case, for example, whenever a device 10 for accepting banknotes is inserted into a banknote processing machine which has an adjusting device 20.
  • FIG. 7 shows the third element for the size adjustment of the interior of the device 10 for receiving banknotes according to FIG. 4 at a fourth time.
  • FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of a third element for adjusting the size of the interior of the device 10 for receiving banknotes.
