Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for handling value documents.
  • leaf-shaped objects that represent, for example, a monetary value or an authorization and therefore should not be arbitrarily produced by unauthorized persons. They therefore have features which are not easy to manufacture, in particular to be copied, whose presence is an indication of the authenticity, i. the manufacture by an authorized agency.
  • Important examples of such value documents are chip cards, coupons, vouchers, checks and in particular banknotes.
  • a peculiarity of such value documents, in particular of banknotes, compared to new paper or stationery, is that their state, for example, by kinks, wrinkles, dog-ears or a considerable limpness, can vary widely.
  • devices for handling documents of value are in particular devices for transporting and / or storing documents of value. Due to the peculiarity of value documents, in particular banknotes whose machine transport is prone to failure in such devices for handling value documents. Although value documents can be transported in isolated form with not very high susceptibility to failure by means of belt transport systems, but such systems are not very well suited for transport over small distances.
  • the documents JP2006206208 A and JPH05178531 A each discloses a device for handling value documents.
  • the document US4002280A discloses intermeshing intermeshing rolls between which photographic paper is transported in a developer tank.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device for handling documents of value, which allows a simple troublesome transport of value documents with a simple structure.
  • a transport path section is understood here and below as meaning any route, possibly even a very short one, along which a document of value is transported.
  • the facilities may be, for example, storage for value documents or other transport facilities. With storage devices, the transport path sections can then be the sections along which a value document is transported into the actual storage space of the storage.
  • each of the pairs of rollers seizes a document of value for transport and thus reduces the susceptibility to failure.
  • a transverse to the transport path gap or transverse to the transport path very deep indentation is avoided at the same time, so that the lying in the transport direction of lying edges of value documents can not be easily folded over, even if the documents of value are limp , This results in a very safe transport.
  • the device requires very little space.
  • the object is achieved according to a second alternative by a device having the features of claim 2.
  • the second alternative differs from the first alternative in that the two devices can be moved relative to one another by means of the movement device, which in addition to a drive device can also have in particular a guide for guiding the second device along the predetermined curve, so that the transport path section as required need only be temporarily coupled.
  • a coupling takes place only in the coupling position, in which the devices and thus also the relative to the institutions firmly held pairs of roles for a value document transport between them are suitably positioned.
  • the curve section in the device according to the second alternative can run as desired.
  • the position and shape of the curved section can be determined, in particular, by the movement device, which for this purpose can have a drive device mechanically coupled to the second device and a guide or guide device, whose design forms the movement of the second device and thus the path of the Transport section of the second device or the position and the shape or the course of the second curve section determined.
  • the curve section preferably runs in a plane to which in particular the transport directions in the transport path sections can run in parallel. If the curve section runs linearly and does not determine a plane, the plane is spanned by the curve section and the transport direction in one of the transport path sections.
  • the apparatus may further comprise at least one further device having a transport path section along which a value document is transported to and / or from the further device and / or into the further device, and which is in a fixed position relative to the first device the curve section is arranged so that in at least one coupling position of the devices to each other a value document from the transport path portion of the further device in the second device and / or from the transport path section of the second device in the further device is transportable, wherein at a coupling end of the transport path the further device in a fixed position to the transport path portion rotatably mounted about a rotation axis pair of rollers, between the roles of a value document is clamped during transport and whose roles have a comb-like structure in a section through the axis of rotation, i st, and wherein the roller pairs are arranged and formed at the end of the transport paths of the further device and the second device so that the Rolls of the pair of rollers at the end of the transport path sections of the further device and the corresponding roles
  • the transport direction in the transport section of the further device can also run at least approximately parallel to a plane which is determined by the curve section.
  • the curve section is linear; the axis of rotation then run parallel.
  • rollers are to be understood as meaning any rotatable elements having a circular cross section in a plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation, which may have any suitable length in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation.
  • it may be rollers, in the roll surface of a comb-like profile, for example, by milling or prototypes is formed.
  • a role can also be obtained by attaching wheels on a shaft or axle at a suitable distance from each other, which then form the comb-like structure.
  • the roles for the first device and the further device can basically be designed differently. A particularly simple construction, however, results when the roles of the pairs of rollers for the first and the further device are the same. Next then match the transport properties.
  • the transport paths need not necessarily be orthogonal to the curve section when the devices occupy the coupling position.
  • a particularly low-interference operation is obtained, however, in that in the device in the coupling position by a gap formed between the rollers of a respective pair of rollers, or by a contact line along which the rollers of a respective pair of rollers touch, given lines in a plane lie with the coupling end of at least one of the transport path sections.
  • the device may have drive means for rotating the roller for at least one roller of one of the roller pairs. Since the value document is trapped when passing the pairs of rolls, it can therefore be actively transported.
  • the drive device for example, a directly or indirectly mechanically coupled to the driven roller motor can be used.
  • the drive device preferably comprises a stepper motor.
  • both rollers of a pair of rollers these are preferably rotated in the same direction, only one of the rollers is driven, is preferably the other, except by the usual influences of the storage of the roller, not braked or stopped separately by a braking device.
  • the roller pairs has at least one driven roller.
  • at least one of the rollers is driven in both pairs of rollers.
  • the drive means are set up or controlled such that the transport speed of the pair of rollers lying in the direction of transport is greater than that of the pair of rollers meshing with it.
  • a drive device for rotating at least one of the rollers of the respective roller pairs can be provided for both roller pairs.
  • the device still has the further device and the additional pair of rollers associated therewith, a separate drive device can be provided for each of the pairs of rollers.
  • the device according to the second alternative may have a common drive device, each having at least one roller of the roller pairs at the coupling end of the transport path sections of the first and the further device drives. This can significantly reduce the number of drive devices of the device. This reduction can be significant, especially for more than two roller pair devices, with which the second device is moved.
  • the roles of a pair of rollers can mesh with corresponding roles of the other pair.
  • the roles of the two pairs of rollers preferably engage as far into each other, that at meshing engagement protruding portions of the rollers of a pair of rollers in each extending through the axes of rotation of the rollers between 0.5 mm and 3 mm from the axis or recessed area of the rollers of the second roller pair.
  • the outer diameter of the rollers is between 13 mm and 15 mm. While the footprint increases slightly over the use of smaller diameter rollers, it reduces the risk of interference caused by the leading edge of a document of value striking one of the rollers relatively far from the nip area between the rollers of a pair of rollers.
  • the material can be chosen as desired on the surface of the rollers.
  • the rollers of a roller pair may have different surface materials or a similar surface material.
  • it is preferred that at least the protruding surface areas of at least the driven Rolls are made of an elastic material.
  • a material whose deformability or elasticity, which is determined by the modulus of elasticity, is greater by at least a factor of 10 than that of pure aluminum by an elastic material.
  • rollers of at least one pair of rollers can have different outer diameters.
  • the rollers of at least one pair of rollers have the same outer diameter. This facilitates on the one hand the production and on the other hand also allows better transport properties.
  • rollers of the roller pairs have the same outer diameter for the first and the second transport path section. This also reduces the risk of transport disruptions as there are fewer asymmetries in the transport path.
  • the device according to the second alternative can be designed in particular for accepting, checking value documents and for outputting value documents, and further comprising: a A checking device for checking the authenticity of supplied value documents, a memory device comprising as first and further devices at least two memories for storing at least two different types of value documents, so that a value document of each of the two types regardless of the order of entry of value documents in the memory device can optionally be output from the memory device and the pairs of rollers each form memory transport interfaces, as a second means a buffer of a buffer storage means for isolated buffering of at least two tested Value documents that can be stored between at least one assumption situation, in which value documents stored in the intermediate storage device by the examination device, and storage layers representing the storage of associated coupling layers, in which at least some of the value documents cached in the intermediate storage device can be transported from the intermediate storage device into the respective storage is, wherein the corresponding pair of rollers
  • This device is provided for accepting and outputting value documents of predetermined types. These can be, in particular, vouchers and banknotes. In particular, it may be provided for banknotes of various types, for example predetermined denominations of one or more currencies. The components of the device are then designed so that they can process value documents of the given types.
  • the temporary storage device is used for temporary recording by means of the examination device of checked value documents.
  • the examination of the value documents need not be completed during the recording process, but it is sufficient that the testing device has detected at least one property of the value document, which is used to test the value document.

  • the temporary storage device is moved between different coupling layers relative to the checking device and the storage device, in which at least one transport path section of the intermediate storage device is coupled or can be coupled to at least one corresponding transport path section of the checking device or the storage device, such that transport from the checking device to the intermediate storage device or between the temporary storage device and the storage device is possible.
  • the coupling position for the acceptance of value documents from the examination device is the acceptance position, while the coupling layers for the exchange of value documents with the storage device are the storage layers.
  • the use of the movable storage device by the temporary storage device allows a very trouble-free transport of the documents of value regardless of their condition, since they, once they have passed trouble-free in the temporary storage device, can be transported over a substantial part of the transport path in this.
  • it can be dispensed with a suitable design of the device on switches for distributing the value documents on the memory of the memory device, which further increases the reliability.
  • the term of the transport interface is generally used for transport interface devices with mechanical elements, that is not to be confused with electrical interfaces.
  • the pairs of roles thus form two complementary interfaces.

  • Such a memory may in particular be advantageous if banknotes of a particular denomination, for example the smallest denomination of a currency intended for the device, must typically be issued more frequently than they are accepted. A supply of these bills may then be provided which allows operation over an extended period of time before the device no longer contains banknotes of the smallest denomination and may need to be shut down.
