Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for stacking sheet material and a spiral compartment stacker for stacking sheet material, in particular for use in a banknote processing device.
  • the banknotes are generally separated from a stack and guided past a sensor device on a transport route.
  • the individual banknotes are checked by sensors of the sensor device and, depending on the test result, fed to specific destinations or stacker units. Accordingly, a plurality of stacker units can be provided, which stack the banknotes of the different categories into units of an adjustable number of pieces. If, for example, banknotes of a certain category are to be stacked with a number of 100 banknotes, it is necessary to separate the hundredth banknote and the subsequent banknote destined for the same stacker after the hundredth banknote arrives at the stacker in the continuous banknote stream.
  • EP 0 119 814 B1 describes a spiral compartment stacker for sheets of paper, the separated sheets of paper being introduced into compartments of a stacker wheel via a feed unit, with a stacking tray on which the sheets of paper stripped from the stacker wheel are stacked by means of a stationary scraper.
  • the spiral compartment stacker comprises rotatable separators on which sheets of paper stripped from the stacker wheel are stacked in a receiving position in which they are locked above the stacking tray. If the separators are then rotated out of the receiving position, the stacked sheets of paper run onto the stationary stripper, are stripped and stacked on the stacking tray.
  • the separators By the Using the separators, it is possible to subdivide the paper sheets fed to the spiral stacker into units of a specific number by removing paper sheets stacked on the stacking tray from the stacking tray and subsequently stacking the subsequent paper sheets on the separators. However, it is not possible to guarantee the safe operation of the spiral stacker at high transport speeds, since relatively high actuating forces have to be applied to accelerate the separators.
  • DE-OS 10234 970 AI instead of using separators, it is proposed in DE-OS 10234 970 AI to store bank notes in the stacker wheel of a spiral stacker. If, for example, the banknotes fed to the spiral stacker are to be subdivided into units of 100 banknotes each on a stacking tray, the banknotes, after the hundredth banknote has been removed from the stacker wheel, can be temporarily stored in the compartments of the stacker wheel until the stacking tray is emptied.
  • a stripper for stripping out the banknotes has two movable parts, namely a first part that is moved out of the stripping position during the intermediate stacking process and a second part that is rotated with the rotating stacker wheel during the intermediate stacking process.
  • the second part of the stripper rotates with the stacker wheel until the stacking tray is ready to receive a stack of banknotes and the second part of the stripper has reached its stripping position again, in which it is then locked. In this way, the banknotes in the stacker wheel are stripped out and stacked on the stacking tray. Then the first part of the stripper can also be moved back into its stripping position. In this embodiment, there is a risk that when a banknote is inserted into the stacker wheel there is a collision between the banknote and the second part of the scraper, which temporarily turns with the stacker wheel.
  • the first part of the stripper is moved out of the stripping position and the second part is also moved with the stacker wheel while the stack tray is being emptied.
  • the second, rotating part of the stripper is then returned against the direction of rotation of the stacker wheel in its stripping position and locked to strip the banknotes out of the stacker wheel.
  • the stacking tray must be prepared very quickly for receiving the next stack of banknotes to be stacked, since the second part of the stripper would otherwise move too far away from the stacking tray and the banknotes would then no longer be reliably stacked on the stacking tray when the stripper was returned.
  • DE-OS 10234 970-A1 therefore again suggests the use of an auxiliary stacking station or separator in order to stack the banknotes stripped from the stacker wheel as long as the actual stacking station is emptied.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an alternative solution for intermediate stacking of sheet material in a spiral stacker.
  • a spiral stacker according to the Invention for stacking sheet material has a stacker wheel, a movable stripper and a stacking tray.
  • Society- Tented sheet material is fed to the stacker wheel in such a way that it is received in compartments of the stacker wheel arranged in a spiral one behind the other about an axis of rotation.
  • the stacker wheel rotates so that the compartments are filled with sheet material. It is also possible for the compartments of the stacker wheel to hold several sheets.
  • the sheet material is stripped out of the compartments of the stacker wheel by means of the scraper.
  • the spiral compartment stacker comprises one Guide track which at least partially surrounds the stacker wheel and is preferably adapted to the round shape of the stacker wheel circumference. If the stripper is in a first position, the sheet material received in the compartments is stripped out of the compartments by running onto the stripper and thereby stacked between the stacker wheel circumference and the guideway.
  • the scraper is brought into a second position, as a result of which the intermediate stacked sheet material is stacked on the stacking tray. As long as the scraper remains in this second position, the sheet material in the stacker wheel runs onto the scraper in such a way that it is stacked directly onto the stacking tray without intermediate stacking. Since the banknotes are usually fed continuously into the individual compartments of the stacker wheel, further banknotes can also be stacked when the stripper is turned from the first to the second position.
  • Such a spiral stacker can also be used, for example, as a buffer in a cash deposit machine, in which the The payment transaction entered banknotes are initially cached after a check, in order to be finally filed and credited to the user's account if the user agrees to complete the current transaction, or to be returned to the user without a credit note if the current transaction was canceled.
  • the spiral stacker is particularly suitable for use in a banknote processing device.
  • the intermediate stacking of the sheet material enables the continuous stacking of sheets of a continuous sheet material flow in predetermined or adjustable units, since the sheet material can be stacked between the stacker wheel circumference and the guideway until the stacking tray is emptied and prepared for receiving sheet material ,
  • the guideway is preferably at a short distance from the forklift wheel circumference. If a large number of sheets are stacked between the guideway and the forklift wheel circumference, sheet material jams can occur due to the small distance when stacking the stacked sheets.
  • At least part of the guideway can be moved away from the forklift wheel circumference in order to increase the distance between the forklift wheel circumference and the guideway. This ensures that the intermediate stacked sheets can be easily pushed out onto the stacking tray.
  • the guideway encloses the stacker wheel as far as possible over a large circumferential angle, for example over about 180 °, in order to be able to reliably stack even long sheet material. If the guideway is formed in one piece, there is no result from moving the guideway away even increase in distance. Therefore, the guideway can be divided into partial guideways, preferably into two partial guideways, each of which surrounds about 90 ° of the stacker wheel. If the part guideways are now moved away from the stacker wheel circumference in a direction radially to the axis of rotation, a substantially more uniform gap enlargement is achieved between the stacker wheel circumference and the guideway.
  • the movable guideway and the movable stripper preferably have a common drive.
  • the drive comprises, for example, a stepper motor, around the axis of which a jacket curve for moving the guideway and a driver for moving the stripper are provided.
  • the jacket curve and the arrangement of the driver are matched to one another in such a way that a suitable sequence of movement of the guideway and the stripper, which is dependent on the angle of rotation, is ensured. In this way, the process steps of increasing the distance by moving the guideway away from the stacker wheel and pushing out the stacked banknotes by means of the stripper can be coordinated in time.
  • the stripper is preferably mounted on the axis of rotation of the stacker wheel and can be moved independently of it.
  • the torque is applied by the driver in the vicinity of the stacker wheel rotation axis. Due to the movement of the scraper, which is independent of the stacker wheel, it is possible to move its movement depending on the sheet fed to the stacker wheel and the units of an adjustable number of sheets.
  • the spiral compartment stacker has a second movable stripper.
  • the second stripper engages in a first position into the stacker wheel in such a way that it strips the sheet material out of the compartments of the stacker wheel onto the stacking tray. In a second position, however, the second stripper is moved out of the stacker wheel to such an extent that it no longer detects the sheet material picked up in the stacker wheel.
  • the movement of the second stripper out of the stacker wheel is correlated with the rotational speed of the stacker wheel in such a way that an nth sheet is cleanly stripped out of the stacker wheel while an n + lth sheet in the next compartment is no longer being detected ,
  • the n + lth sheet then runs onto the first stripper, which is in its (first) intermediate stacking position. This sheet and the subsequent sheets are stripped out of the stacker wheel by running onto the first stripper and stacked between the stacker wheel circumference and the guideway.
  • the intermediate stacked bank knots are pushed onto the stacking tray and stacked there, and the banknotes in the stacker wheel are also stacked directly on the stacking tray as long as the first stripper is in this position.
  • the second stripper can be moved back to its first position, in which it strips the sheet material from the compartments onto the stacking tray, and then the first stripper can also be moved back into its first position.
  • the stacking tray is designed as a lockable sheet material store.
  • a spiral stacker can be used in a cash deposit machine. If, for example, the user agrees to the completion of the current transaction as in the deposit transaction already described, the banknotes can be locked in the cash storage, such as a cash cassette, are stored and credited to the user's account. The secure storage of the stacked banknotes is ensured by using the lockable storage.
  • the spiral compartment stacker has a side edge guide for guiding the side edges of the sheet material received in the stacker wheel.
  • a side edge guide is advantageous in order to evenly align the side edges of the sheet material in the stacker wheel.
  • the side edge guide can be moved in the axial direction in order to adapt the spiral stacker to the processing of sheet material of different formats.
  • Such an axially movable side edge guide can also be used advantageously in conventional spiral compartment stackers, e.g. also for those with firmly locked strippers.
  • the spiral compartment stacker has a removal device for removing the stack from the stacking tray.
  • the removal device has a rake-shaped base, to which the stacking tray is adapted, in that it is also designed in a rake-like manner such that the bottom of the removal device can be moved under the sheet material stacked on the stacking tray.
  • the base moves a preferably provided rake-shaped plate which closes the slots in the rake-shaped stacking tray. at least partially fills to form the stacking tray with it while the sheets are being stacked.
  • the removed sheet material can then be stored, for example, in a stacking compartment or a cassette.
  • the stacking compartment has a side wall which is also shaped like a rake and which is adapted to the rake-shaped bottom of the removal device and through which the bottom can be moved in a meshing manner so as to deposit the sheet material in the stacking compartment.
  • the removal device is designed as a gripper with a gripper upper part and the rake-like bottom for gripping the sheet material stacked in the stacking tray.
  • the maximum depth of the upper part of the gripper should not exceed the dimension of the narrowest sheet material to be stacked due to the axially variable longitudinal edge guidance.
  • Such a removal device can also be used advantageously in conventional spiral stackers, e.g. even for those with firmly locked strippers.
