Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a transport device for transporting flat, rectangular sheet material, in particular of sheet-shaped value documents such.
  • B. banknotes, from a first Blattguttransportrange to a second Blattguttransportrange, in particular also for changing the transport direction by 90 degrees such that transported in transverse orientation sheet material is transported in the longitudinal direction, or vice versa.
  • the invention further relates to a device for processing sheet-shaped value documents, in particular banknotes, with such a transport device between a first and a second transport path.
  • Sheet material is understood to mean sheets which essentially have a rectangular basic shape in which the corner can be pointed or even rounded.
  • the invention can be used for any sheet material, but is particularly suitable for sheet material in the form of sheet-shaped value documents, such as coupons, coupons, stocks and in particular banknotes.
  • Transport devices in which sheet material is transferred from a transverse transport in a longitudinal transport, or vice versa, are used for example in banknote processing devices.
  • transverse or longitudinal transport is understood that the sheet material is transported in a transport direction, that the longer side of the sheets is oriented transversely or parallel to the transport direction.
  • conventional deflection devices are either unsuitable for redirecting uninterrupted high-speed banknote flow or are at least comparatively expensive in terms of space requirements and / or their structural design.
  • banknote processing device consisting of several modules in which the transport device according to the invention described below can also be used advantageously.
  • This banknote processing device is configured as a tabletop device and serves to separate the banknotes of a banknote stack inserted by an operator into an input compartment, to check the individual banknotes for characteristic features by means of suitable measuring and analyzing devices, to sort the checked banknotes according to the respective check result and / or after sorting result in a predetermined output tray by means of a Spiralfachstaplers stack.
  • the output compartments are partially juxtaposed and partly arranged one above the other in such a way that all output compartments can be reached as well as possible by the operator.
  • the banknotes are basically transported transversely within the modules. However, according to one embodiment variant, the feeding of the banknotes takes place in longitudinal alignment. In this case, the bank notes are stopped briefly after the separation and then further transported in the same plane at right angles to the right or left. However, the mechanism for changing the transport direction of the fed banknotes by 90 degrees from the original longitudinal orientation in the required transverse orientation is not described in detail.
  • a disadvantage of this banknote processing device is that the transport of the banknotes from one module to an adjacent module takes place in the transverse transport.
  • the transport route is accordingly wide and cumbersome. This can have a negative effect on the size of the overall device.
  • the throughput rate of this banknote processing device is limited because, if the banknotes are fed in the longitudinal direction and laterally extended in lateral alignment, the laterally continued banknotes must first have completely left the deflection region in order to avoid a collision with the next banknote to be deflected. If, on the other hand, the banknote feed is in landscape format, then a very voluminous transport path formed by baffles and twisted conveyor belts is provided in order to turn the banknotes so that they can be transported laterally in transverse alignment.
  • the DE 196 32 224 A1 describes a device for changing the direction of movement of sheet material.

  • the conveyor belt of the laxative transport path is always pressed against the take-off plane of the deflection, when the print plane has been fed a bill.
  • a particular embodiment provides for feeding the successive banknotes alternately to a first or a second withdrawal plane by means of a switch, so that the next following sheet can already be fed to the second removal plane, even before the previous sheet was completely deducted from the first level of withdrawal and forwarded.
