Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spiral slot stacker for stacking sheet material, in particular for stacking banknotes, and a sheet material processing apparatus with such a spiral slot stacker, in particular for processing banknotes.
  • Spiral tray stackers have long been known and are used for example in banknote processing devices. But they are also in other areas, such. As for the automatic sorting of documents or other sheet-shaped documents, usable.
  • Such Spiralfachstapler have a stacker, which is usually formed of a plurality of arranged on a common axis of rotation discs with spirally arranged around the axis of rotation slots. These slots form Staplerradfowner in which the sheet material to be stacked is aufgenormen.
  • a stationary arranged scraper engages between the Staplerradfusionn such that the sheet material is automatically stripped on rotation of the stacker wheel about the axis of rotation of the Staplerradfownern on an underlying tray and is stacked there.
  • this variant has the disadvantage that soft or limp sheet material is now so heavily loaded in the subsequent stripping to overcome the clamping force that this can lead to dents of the sheet material to the corresponding Blattgutkante. This phenomenon occurs, for example, in the stacking of freshly printed banknotes, which in turn adversely affects the destacking and subsequent processing of the banknotes.
  • a form handling apparatus having a stacking wheel rotatably mounted about an axis and having a plurality of trays provided for temporarily receiving recording media and arranged substantially spirally with respect to the axis.
  • a feeding device is arranged at the stacking wheel at a first position and provided to supply the subjects recording medium, wherein the recording medium are removed at a second position again from the subjects.
  • the axis is substantially vertically aligned and guide means are provided, prevent unwanted leakage of the recording medium from the subjects and / or an unwanted change in position of the located in the record carrier subjects record carrier.
  • DE 622 611 a device for conveying paper sheets and the like by means of a toothed wheel disc is described, between the teeth of the leaves are introduced. With the wheel disc co-rotating additional fingers lie against each inserted sheet and press it against the teeth supporting it so that it receives a stiffening curvature during conveyance on the wheel disc.
  • a temporary receiving section has a drum-like collecting wheel with a groove receiving bills from a bill receiving section and a clamping device that can enter and exit the groove.
  • the clamp which is biased by a tension spring in the direction of the groove performs this operation when a roller, which is arranged at the root of the clamping device, and a cam due to the rotation of the Sammelrads engage or disengage.
  • Banknotes arranged in the groove are gripped by the clamping device and guided to a collecting space formed between the collecting wheel and a guide plate when the collecting wheel rotates.
  • the bills are released from the clamping device at the position where the roller again engages the cam and then accumulated in the collecting space.
  • the accumulated Banknotes are transferred to an input / return transfer section while being gripped by a pinch roller.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a low-cost solution for a spiral tray stacker, in which the sheet material to be stacked is not crumpled by the stacking process.
  • cams are each arranged at a radially inner end of the clamping fingers.
  • a particularly simple and therefore inexpensive realization consists in the formation of the cams as pins which extend from the clamping fingers in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation. These pins do not have to be very long. A length of about 2 mm can be sufficient. Since the clamping fingers are usually very thin at their radially inner ends and since a collision of the pins with the intervening between the Staplerradfusionn stripper is to be avoided, the pins for stability and collision reasons are as short as possible.
  • the cam track can be realized in any way in the spiral tray stacker. In order to keep the design effort low, however, the cam track is advantageously provided on the stripper. In particular, the cam track can be realized in a simple manner as a groove in the stripper.
  • the cam track has a ramp, to relocate the cam and thus the free end of the clamping finger over a short rotation angle of the stacker wheel to the axis of rotation. At this ramp is followed by a concentric to the axis of rotation extending cam track portion, which preferably has at least such a length that the clamping finger only moves back to its clamping position when the sheet material has been pulled out by the stripping action of the stripper with certainty from the clamping area of the clamping finger ,
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows in side view a spiral slot stacker, as it is typically used in banknote processing devices.
  • the bank note processing apparatus not shown in detail here is constructed, for example, as shown in the DE 44 377 22 A1 including transport systems, switches, sensors and the like.
  • the spiral tray stacker described below is also suitable in other types of devices for stacking sheet material.
  • the spiral slot stacker has a stacker wheel 1 with stacker wheel compartments 2 arranged in a spiral arrangement one behind the other about a rotation axis 3 for receiving sheet material 100.
  • the direction of rotation of the stacker wheel 1 about the axis of rotation 3 is indicated by an arrow.
  • the stacker wheel 1 successively banknotes 100 are fed in the tangential direction R.
  • the stacker wheel 1 consists of a plurality of identical, juxtaposed on the axis of rotation 3 disc-shaped elements, between which engages in a conventional manner a rake-like trained stripper 4 with suitably adapted, juxtaposed Ausstreifzinken.
  • a rake-like trained stripper 4 with suitably adapted, juxtaposed Ausstreifzinken.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of the stacker wheel 1 from FIG. 1 in further detail. This illustration shows that each stacker wheel compartment 2 2a to 2e has a clamping finger 7 which serves to exert a force on the inserted bank notes 100 in order to decelerate the bank notes and, if possible, stop them before reaching the end region 2 'of the respective stacker wheel compartment 2.
  • the clamping fingers 7 are formed as an integral part of the stacker wheel 1 and each individual Staplerradsay.
  • the Staplerradlationn from a flexible plastic, for. Example, be made of Plexiglas, with the clamping fingers 7 extend along the spiral longitudinal extent of Staplerradfowner 2.
  • a pin-shaped cam is provided on the radially inner, free ends 8 of each clamping finger 7 9 is provided, which move with the stacker wheel 2 on a common circular path 10 about the axis of rotation 3.
  • the stripper 4 is formed as a groove cam track 11 with a chamfer 12, in which thread the pin-shaped cam 9 of the clamping fingers 7 when they dip into the stripper 4.
  • a concentric with the axis of rotation extending cam track section 13 connects.
  • the cam track 11 serves as a backdrop for the pin-shaped cam 9 and lifts it to a slightly higher trajectory.
  • the clamping fingers 7 are urged radially inward and further lifted from the aforementioned wall of the associated Staplerradfachs 2, so that the banknote 100 no longer clamped between this wall and the clamping fingers 7.
  • the banknote 100 can now, if it hits with its front edge on the stripper 4, be force-free stripped from the associated Staplerradfach. In such a state, for example, the banknotes 100 are located in the stacker fan compartments 2c and 2d.
  • FIG. 3 the free end 8 of a clamping finger 7 is shown with a pin-shaped cam 9 arranged thereon.
  • the cam 9 may in particular, if the stacker wheel is made by injection molding of plastic, be molded as an integral part. A suitable length is about 2 mm. Lengths between 1 mm and 4 mm can be quite practicable. In particular, may be provided on both sides of the clamping finger 7, such a cam to engage in the grooves of two spaced tines of the stripper 4.
  • clamping finger 7 need not necessarily be an integral part of the Staplerradsay. It may also be, for example, a glued into the Staplerradfach 2 or otherwise attached leaf spring. Finally, not every disc of the stacker wheel 1 must have clamping fingers 7 in the stacker wheel compartments. To decelerate the sheet material, it may be sufficient if only some of the Staplerradfusionn such clamping fingers 7 have.
  • the clamping fingers each have a cam for lifting the associated clamping finger, as well as the special case is to be understood that individual of the clamping fingers have no cams. As a result, at least a slight residual clamping force remains in individual panes of the stacker wheel 1, which is then so small that it is not detrimental to the banknotes.
