Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the destruction of banknotes, in which the banknotes are checked and sorted at least one decentralized location by means of at least one bank-note processing machine, wherein non-negotiable banknotes are sorted out to be transported to a central location for destruction.
  • Banknotes destruction processes that discard out-of-date banknotes and transport them to a central location for destruction are well known and have long been used.
  • banknotes z. B. by commercial banks, Werttransportdip etc. are accepted, decentrally checked and sorted by means of banknote processing machines.
  • the sorting of the banknotes takes place according to their denomination and fitness for circulation, d. H.
  • Under no longer fit banknotes are understood to be banknotes that are so heavily polluted and / or damaged that they should not get into circulation again.
  • the unfit banknotes are then transported to a central location, eg. As a central bank, and by the central bank, usually after re-examination, destroyed.
  • a method in which the destruction takes place decentralized, that is not carried out by a central bank.
  • a sorting by means of a first banknote processing machine according to denomination and state of the banknotes, ie whether the banknotes are fit or not executable.
  • the no longer fit Banknotes are transferred to a specially secured room that can be monitored by the central bank.
  • it is communicated to the central bank how many banknotes of each denomination were handed over to the room.
  • the destruction of the banknotes takes place under the supervision of the central bank by means of a second bank-note processing machine, which again determines and checks the denomination and number before the banknotes are destroyed.
  • the calculated number and denomination is transmitted to the central bank, which compares this with the previously transmitted information on the number and denomination of the banknotes transferred.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a method for the destruction of banknotes, in which no longer fit banknotes are sorted out at decentralized locations and transported to a central point for destruction, which the central office better monitoring of the decentralized locations made possible sorting out of unfit banknotes.
  • banknotes are accepted, checked and sorted at at least one decentralized location, whereby all banknotes recognized as unfit are deposited on a single stack, ie it is independent of the denomination and / or Position of the banknotes uses a single output tray of the banknote processing machine for all unfit banknotes, further at least a portion of the fit banknotes is transported to the central location to allow a test of a defined sample.
  • the inventive method thus has the advantage that the banknote processing machines used at decentralized locations can be constructed much simpler, since they only have to have a greatly reduced number of output compartments.
  • the further processing of unfit banknotes is simplified because all unfit banknotes are combined in a single stack. This also reduces the risk that, as the output bins are emptied, erroneously salable banknotes will be mixed together with unfit banknotes as the bins for the various denominations are emptied.
  • the investment costs for the bank note processing machine are reduced because the unfit bank notes no longer have to be separated according to their denomination and / or their location.
  • the reduced number of output bins reduces the number of work steps, thereby increasing throughput.
  • the passable banknotes allow the central office to better check the quality of the sorting of the accepted banknotes into executable and unfit banknotes carried out by the at least one decentralized office and an assessment of the quality rating of the banknotes that can be run. This is particularly important if the central office otherwise receives no information about the quality of the still fit banknotes.
  • the central bank also requires only the usual controls and monitoring.
  • the bank-note processing machine can dispense with output bins for fit banknotes, if due to the quality of the pre-sorting no fit banknotes are included or if the recovery of any usable banknotes may be omitted.
  • the banknote processing machine needs only one output bin for the rejections, i. H. unprocessable or unrecognized banknotes, and a unit for destroying banknotes, e.g. a shredder.

Connected to the input unit 110 is a singler 111 which extracts individual banknotes from the input unit 110 and to a transport system 120 passes. The transport system 120 transports the individual banknotes by a sensor device 112, which determines data from the banknotes, which allow, for example, conclusions on authenticity, condition, denomination, etc. The determined data of the banknotes are transferred to a control device 140, which evaluates the data and thus controls the further flow of the banknotes through the banknote processing machine 100.

It may also be provided that the container used for the transport is coupled directly to the input unit 210. Connected to the input unit 210 is a singler 211, which extracts individual banknotes from the input unit 210 and transfers them to a transport system 220. The transport system 220 transports the individual banknotes by a sensor device 212, which determines data from the banknotes which, for example, allow conclusions to be drawn about authenticity, status, denomination, etc. The ascertained data of the banknotes are transferred to a control device 240, which evaluates the data and thus controls the further flow of the banknotes through the banknote processing machine 200.

If the denomination and the authenticity of a banknote can be determined by the banknote processing machine 200, the banknote is fed to the banknote shredder 270. If authenticity and / or denomination of the bill can not be determined, the bill is fed to the output tray 230, 231, which serves as a reject bin. As described above in the context of the decentralized banknote processing machine 100, the banknotes of the reject bin 230, 231 may be reprocessed with the banknote processing machine 200 to reduce the number of denied banknotes.

This procedure allows the central bank to control and supervise the banknote processing machine operated by the commercial cash handling centers and the banknote processing carried out thereon.
  • the authentication can also include the programs and / or the parameters and the settings of the sorting machine.
  • the central bank z For example, check whether the (authorized) method approved by the Central Bank is actually used to check banknotes.
  • the problem can be partially solved if the sensors measure over the entire surface and the quality and reliability of the evaluation is independent of skew and run-up. This is especially the case when the Sensors have a sufficient number of measuring tracks and can evaluate the banknotes with a corresponding tolerance or transform the measured signals after determining the skew and the run-up to the nominal position of the reference data.
  • this has the disadvantage that the manufacturing costs of the sensors are increased. Also, there may be disturbances in the transport system at points and other critical points and the aligned storage of banknotes in the output compartments may not be ensured.
  • the format of the next banknote to be separated is detected with the aid of a camera and their position measured relative to the desired position for optimum positioning for singulation.
  • the baffle plate has independently controllable fields with air nozzles. These fields have different directions of action and different zones of action, so that advancing, aligning and rotating forces can be controlled independently.
  • the separation can be optimized so that skew, run-up and double deductions are prevented. This is done z. B.
  • the individual fields of Luftleitplatte be activated simultaneously or sequentially so that each next banknote to be separated before the beginning of the separation is first fully aligned with the reference edges of the singler and then the feed is activated according to the format of this banknote ,
  • the tracking of the singling also higher demands are made in the processing of unfit banknotes.
  • the banknotes are guided from below to a trigger device, so that the weight or the number of banknotes contained in the input stack, the behavior and performance of Do not significantly influence singler.
  • the tracking must be controlled in the rule that the banknote stack is sufficiently close to the trigger device, but the top banknote in the input stack exerts no or only a defined vertical pressure force on the trigger device. If the distance is too great, the singulation is interrupted; if the distance is too short or the pressing force is too great, there is a risk that several banknotes will be fed in at the same time.
  • the procedure according to EP 0 865 398 A to control the tracking uses a density sensor, with which the density of banknotes in the immediate area below the singler is detected.
  • the density sensor may consist of an optical sensor, for. Example, by counting the density of banknote edges, on the measurement of vibrations or noises of a blowing nozzle or an air pressure sensor.
  • This additional input tray may be similar in a device EP 0 764 131 A can be realized simply by the fact that the means of the singler after the end of the singulation of a first input stack in a specially defined position above a next provided input stack is parked and ready to receive the rejected banknotes. The operator can use this parking position by first inserting rejected banknotes and having them checked again after pressing the start button for the re-run. Alternatively, by pressing the start button for the singler, he can do without this repeated check and start the processing of the next input stack.
  • the operator may perform the manual hand reworking of the first input batch by checking the rejected bills and inputting them in an input mask according to their value, so that the banknote processing machine, after completion of the input, the value and the number of Determine banknotes of the different denominations of the first input stack and, if necessary, compare them against a transferred target value.
  • the sensor units must reliably recognize the denominations and clearly prove their authenticity. This test is based on distinguishing features of the individual denominations in terms of their size, their printed image and other physical characteristics, such. B. properties in the non-visible spectrum, magnetic and / or conductive components in the ink or security thread, paper properties such as watermarks, etc.
  • Non-negotiable banknotes are often very dirty, stained and / or damaged. Such damage can be caused by missing parts, dog-ears, wrinkles, holes, cracks, broken or partially missing security threads. In such cases, it may happen that a banknote that is genuine per se is not unambiguously recognized and rejected by the machine, ie that it is output to the reject bin. In this case, the operator can provisionally repair the bill, for. B. unfold a dog-ear, past a crack with a transparent tape and paste the banknote to a re-run (rerun) again in the machine. In some cases it may also be sufficient to feed the banknote in a different orientation. In the case of serious damage, the machine may not be able to identify the banknote even after several attempts. The remaining denied banknotes must be manually checked and subjected to an alternative destruction procedure. These manual interventions and methods are undesirable because they take a considerable amount of time and reduce the performance of the sorting machine.
  • the sensors work very reliably and nevertheless tolerantly in the recognition of the denomination.
  • Safe identification can be improved by a combination of measured properties. It may be designed so that, for certain damages, alternatively other local areas of the banknote or other criteria for determining the denomination and / or authenticity are used. This can also by the combination of signals from the front and the back of the bill or by combining with different measuring principles, eg. As optical and magnetic sensors, carried out, as for example in DE 102 59 288 A is described.
  • a smudge or a hole in the banknote at a certain point may, for. B. complicate the identification of the denomination, if this area contains essential information for the decision logic to distinguish the denomination or detection of the orientation of the bill.
  • the decision logic may yield a false result.
  • this false result is recognized in a second stage by a verifier, which checks further criteria.
  • an alternative algorithm can be used that takes into account other areas of the bill and then comes to a verifiable result. This process can also be repeated several times.
  • the recognition security of the denomination can be further improved by including the database for evaluating the distinguishing features of the different denominations a plurality of new and used banknotes.
  • the result is particularly stable and safe, taking into account all pressure tolerances and typical damage, eg. B. dog-eared notes, banknotes with creases or wrinkles in one of the two center lines and banknotes in all relevant levels of contamination.
  • Another method for improving denomination recognition is the use of visible or invisible codings of the bill. This can, for. B. in the form of bar codes, which are evaluated in the ultraviolet or infrared spectrum.
  • the recognized and identified banknotes must be safely transported to their destination and reliably counted.
  • the machine control by the control unit tracks the banknotes via light barriers along the entire path of their transport from the singler to the destination determined by the sensors, for B. the shredder. Settlement for the value of the deposit is based on the denominations determined by the sensors.
  • the machine control must operate particularly reliably in the case of processing non-executable blanks with mixed denominations.
  • the risk of transport disruptions is significantly higher with damaged banknotes than with fresh or used recyclable banknotes.
  • the banknotes can z. B. delays at certain bottlenecks or branches (switches) of the transport system, blocked or torn.
  • the machine controller must stop the bank-note processing machine if the clear tracking and allocation of the transported banknotes is no longer guaranteed, and the operator to check the transport path or the contents of an output tray (eg by recounting).
  • the machine control or tracking tolerates delays of the banknotes or the tearing of banknotes in the transport path, as long as no miscalculation or erroneous billing is caused thereby.
  • This can e.g. be done by responding to a delay of a bill in the first part of the machine or in the area of the sensors more tolerant than in the area of the output pockets.
  • the banknote separation can be stopped briefly in the event of a transport disruption and then continued if there is no real congestion, and / or the operator must be asked only at the end of the processing of the deposit to check this area for blocked, fallen or torn banknotes, so that If necessary, several transport problems are covered.
  • the machine control can be optimized, e.g. B. by a location-dependent response to transport disruptions.
  • the stopping of the separation, the stopping of the transport system and the switching of the switches is optimally coordinated so that the operator must perform as little intervention in the removal of the transport disturbance and the operation of the sorting machine must be interrupted only briefly.
  • the transport system continue to operate until the banknotes that have passed the storage area before, are still stored in the designated or predetermined output compartments. For the shredder, this may mean that the drive of the shredder blade is turned off only when the banknotes are completely destroyed.
  • Processing banknotes with transparent windows may cause additional problems. These windows are added as an additional visible authenticity feature and are intended to complicate counterfeiting and are often located near the edge of the bill.
  • photocells with at least two measuring tracks are used for the tracking of the banknotes. If banknotes are damaged on the edge, the secure recognition of the front edge or back edge of the banknote in the transport system can be impaired.
  • a faulty edge detection may occur when z. B. at the same time in one measuring track is a transparent window and in the other measuring lane is a dog-ear or a missing corner or missing part. This erroneous edge detection can be avoided if the signals of the light barriers are evaluated so intelligently that the exact edge detection is maintained even with a short interruption of the signal.
  • a reliable allocation of the denomination of the banknote is very important for a correct billing.
  • the resolution of transport faults and congestion is made on the basis of an adjustment of the data expected from the bank-note processing machine with the data input by the operator during the fault handling.
  • the area of the shredder can z. B. at a delay of the transport of several Banknotes with different denominations create an uncertainty which banknotes are already destroyed and which are still fully present or only partially destroyed. If the operator inputs the number of banknotes found per denomination, this may be checked against the expectation of the machine controller. This may concern the selection of the denominations actually occurring in this case. Furthermore, this selection can be limited by detected transport data, eg. As the timing of leading edges or trailing edges of light barriers, the determined length and / or width of objects from the light barrier events or other measurement results such. In DE 10111 907 A1 described.
  • the banknote processing machine is contaminated by dust (for example due to the detachment of printing ink or paper dust) or by banknote particles (eg torn corners or parts of banknotes, torn off security threads or applications, etc.) and thereby the function of the sensors and the transport system (in particular light barriers) is disturbed.
  • the dust can also pose a health hazard to the operator.
  • the dust and particles are preferably formed at those locations where the bills are accelerated or bent or otherwise mechanically affected. This relates to the separator, the measuring section and in particular the sensor unit, which exert forces or deformations on the banknote due to their measuring principle, z.
