Definitions

  • the present invention relates to document feeding along a document feed path, and is particularly directed to a method of operating a document feeding mechanism to detect and recover from a multi-feed condition and an apparatus therefor.
  • a multi-feed document condition occurs in which more than one document is fed along a document transport path when only one document should have been fed along the document feed path.
  • the occurrence of a multi-feed condition usually causes an undesirable result.
  • ATM automated teller machine
  • a multi-feed condition of a banknote will result in a loss to the ATM owner.
  • a multi-feed condition of a deposited check will result in a missing deposit item. It would be desirable to provide a document feeding mechanism in which multi-feed conditions are not only detected but are also recovered from.
  • a method of operating a document feeding mechanism having a document feed path which extends through a nip defined between an advance roller disposed on one side of a document feed path and a retard roller disposed on an opposite side of the document feed path.
  • the method comprises detecting a multi-feed condition in which a first document and a second document overlapping the first document have been fed through the nip from an upstream end of the document feed path to a downstream end of the document feed path, and controlling operation of the advance roller and the retard roller such that the second document is driven backwards through the nip to allow the first document to be fed through the nip by itself in a non-overlapping manner without any human intervention.
  • the advance roller and the retard roller Preferably after the first document has been fed through the nip by itself, controlling operation of the advance roller and the retard roller such that the second document is fed through the nip by itself in a non-overlapping manner without any human intervention.
  • the present invention is directed to a method of operating a document feeding mechanism to detect and recover from a multi-feed condition and an apparatus therefor.
  • the specific use and construction of the document feeding mechanism may vary.
  • a document feeding mechanism 10 constructed in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in Fig. 1 .
  • the document feeding mechanism 10 has an upstream end 12, a downstream end 14, and a document feed path 16 extending between the upstream end and the downstream end.
  • the document feeding mechanism 10 includes an advance roller 32 which is adjacent to the document feed path 16.
  • the advance roller 32 has a longitudinal central axis and an outer circumferential surface 33.
  • the advance roller 32 is rotatably mounted on a first shaft 34 for rotation about its longitudinal central axis.
  • the document feeding mechanism 10 further includes a retard roller 36 which is adjacent to the document feed path 16 and lies opposite the advance roller 32.
  • the retard roller 36 has a longitudinal central axis and an outer circumferential surface 37.
  • the retard roller 36 is rotatably mounted on a second shaft 38 for rotation about its longitudinal central axis.
  • a nip 39 is defined between the outer circumferential surface 33 of the picker roller 32 and the outer circumferential surface 37 of the retard roller 36.
  • the document feeding mechanism 10 also includes a sensor 40 for detecting a multi-feed condition in which more than one document has been fed through the nip 39 along the document feed path 16.
  • the sensor 40 may be of the ultrasonic type, for example.
  • a controller 50 monitors and receives a sensor signal via line 52 from the sensor 40.
  • the controller 50 provides a control signal via line 54 to the advance roller 32 to control operation of the advance roller.
  • the controller 50 also provides a control signal via line 56 to the retard roller 36 to control operation of the retard roller.
  • the controller 50 controls the advance roller 32 to rotate about its longitudinal central axis in the clockwise direction (as viewed looking at Fig. 1 ).
  • the controller 50 controls the retard roller 36 to rotate about its longitudinal central axis also in the clockwise direction.
  • the rollers co-operate to feed a first document 60 through the nip 39 along the document feed path 16.
  • the first document 60 is transported from the upstream end 12 of the document feed path 16 towards the downstream end 14 along the document feed path for further handling and processing at the downstream end of the document feed path.
  • the sensor 40 does not detect a multi-feed condition. Accordingly, the sensor 40 does not provide a signal on line 52 which is indicative of a multi-feed condition. Since the controller 50 does not receive a signal on line 52 indicative of a multi-feed condition, the controller continues to provide signals on lines 54, 56 to rotate the advance roller 32 in the clockwise direction and the retard roller 36 in the clockwise direction. After the first document 60 has been normally fed through the nip 39, the advance roller 32 and the retard roller 36 continue to feed a second document 62 (as shown in Fig. 2 ) through the nip 39 in the same manner as the first document 60 was normally fed through the nip.
  • the sensor 40 detects the occurrence of the multi-feed condition and provides a signal on line 52 indicative thereof.
  • the controller 50 provides a control signal on line 54 to the advance roller 32 to halt rotation of the advance roller in the clockwise direction (as shown in Fig. 4 ).
  • the controller 50 continues providing the same previous signal on line 56 to the retard roller 36 so that the retard roller continues rotating in the clockwise direction.
  • the controller 50 again provides a control signal on line 54 to control the advance roller 32 to rotate in the clockwise direction.
  • This rotation of the advance roller 32 again in the clockwise direction moves the first document 60 (which is now by itself between the advance roller 32 and the retard roller 36) through the nip 39 towards the downstream end 14 of the document feed path 16.
  • the advance roller 32 and the retard roller 36 co-operate to feed the next document (i.e., the second document 62 in this case) through the nip 39 towards the downstream end of the document feed path.
  • the second document 62 is also now fed by itself through the nip 39 towards the downstream end 14 of the document feed path 16.
  • the controller 50 will detect absence of the multi-feed condition signal from the sensor 40 before the second document 62 is actually driven back completely through the nip 39.
  • the controller 50 is programmed with a sufficient time delay in responding to removal of the multi-feed condition signal on line 52 from the sensor 40 as an input signal. This time delay will provide sufficient time for the second document 62 to be driven back completely through the nip 39 before the controller 50 provides the control signal on line 54 to again control the advance roller 32 to rotate in the clockwise direction.
  • the advance roller 32 is controlled to again rotate in the clockwise direction to feed the document 70 (which is now by itself between the advance roller 32 and the retard roller 36) through the nip 39 towards the downstream end 14 of the document feed path 16 (as shown in Fig. 10 ). Also as shown in Fig. 10 , after the document 70 has been fed completely through the nip 39, the next document (i.e., the document 72) is fed through the nip. Accordingly, it should be apparent that the document feeding mechanism 10 is capable of not only detecting but also correcting a multi-feed condition in which more than two overlapping documents have passed through the nip 39, without any human intervention.
  • the advance roller 32 is controlled to again rotate in the clockwise direction in an effort to feed the documents 70, 72, 74 one by one through the nip.
  • the retard roller 36 is provided with a second chance to catch the edge of the underlying documents (i.e., the documents 72, 74 in this example) so that a clean separation of all three documents can be achieved.
