Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Speichern von Blattgut, insbesondere Wertdokumenten wie Banknoten und dergleichen, zum Beispiel zur Verwendung in einer Banknotenbearbeitungsvorrichtung.The present invention relates to a device for storing sheet material, in particular value documents such as bank notes and the like, for example for use in a bank note processing device.

Wertdokumente sind solche blattförmigen Dokumente, denen ein materieller und/ oder ideeller Wert beigemessen wird, wie zum Beispiel Banknoten, Schecks, Eintrittskarten, Fahrscheine, Gutscheine, Urkunden und dergleichen.Value documents are those sheet-shaped documents, which are given a material and / or non-material value, such as banknotes, checks, tickets, tickets, vouchers, certificates and the like.

Zur Handhabung von Blattgut werden Einrichtungen in Gestalt von Folienwickelspeichern eingesetzt, die Blattgut auf Spulen ablegen. Ein solcher Folienwickelspeicher ist beispielsweise aus der DE 199 61 075 A1 bekannt. Er weist zwei, jeweils auf einer Spenderspule gewickelte Folienbänder auf, welche beide über eine Umlenkrollenanordnung aufeinander gelegt und gemeinsam auf eine Wickelspule aufgewickelt werden. Während des Aufeinanderlegens der Folien lassen sich zum Beispiel Banknoten zwischen die Folienbänder zuführen, so dass diese gemeinsam mit den Folienbändern auf der Wickelspule aufgewickelt und gespeichert werden können siehe auch zB. EP 1321 409 A1 .For the handling of sheet material devices in the form of film winding storage devices are used, which store sheet material on bobbins. Such a film winding memory is for example from the DE 199 61 075 A1 known. It has two, each wound on a donor coil foil strips, which are both superposed on a Umlenkrollenanordnung and wound together on a winding spool. During the stacking of the films, for example, banknotes can be fed between the film strips, so that they can be wound up and stored together with the film strips on the reel spool, see also eg. EP 1321 409 A1 ,

Ein derartiger Folienwickelspeicher besitzt einen relativ großen Bauraum, der durch die mehreren Spulen vorgegeben ist. Zudem ist für jede der Spulen ein Antrieb vorzusehen.Such a film winding storage has a relatively large space, which is predetermined by the plurality of coils. In addition, a drive is provided for each of the coils.

Aus der FR 1 109 055 A ist es zudem bekannt, eine einzige Spenderspule zu verwenden, auf der beide Folienbänder aufgewickelt sind. Dadurch ergeben sich jedoch Längenunterschiede beim Auf- und Abwickeln der Folienbänder.From the FR 1 109 055 A It is also known to use a single dispenser spool on which both foil strips are wound up. However, this results in differences in length during winding and unwinding of the film strips.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine kompakt und vorzugsweise einfach aufgebaute Vorrichtung zum Speichern von Blattgut anzugeben.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a compact and preferably simply constructed device for storing sheet material.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs gelöst. In davon abhängigen Ansprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung angegeben.This object is achieved by a device having the features of the independent claim. In dependent claims advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention are given.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Speichern von Blattgut, insbesondere Wertdokumenten wie Banknoten und dergleichen, mit einem Transportmittel, welches aus zwei Folien besteht, und einer Wickelspule mit einem Spulenkern, welcher um eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist, wobei die Vorrichtung eingerichtet ist, das Transportmittel auf der Wickelspule aufzuwickeln, um dabei Blattgut zwischen den zwei Folien des Transportmittels einzuschließen und auf der Wickelspule aufzuwickeln und zu speichern, wobei die beiden Folien des Transportmittels übereinander auf einer einzigen Spenderspule mit einem Spulenkern, welcher um eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist, aufgewickelt sind und von der Spenderspule abgewickelt werden können, und einer Einrichtung für einen Längenausgleich zwischen erster Folie und zweiter Folie, die eine beim Abwickeln der beiden Folien von der Spenderspule und dem anschließenden Aufwickeln der beiden Folien mit dem dazwischen gegebenenfalls eingeschlossenen Blattgut entstehende Längendifferenz ausgleicht.In the inventive device for storing sheet material, in particular documents of value such as banknotes and the like, with a transport, which consists of two films, and a winding spool with a spool core, which is rotatably mounted about an axis, wherein the device is set up, the means of transport wind the take-up reel to thereby enclose sheet material between the two films of the transport and wind on the reel spool and store, wherein the two films of the transport over each other on a single donor spool with a spool core, which is rotatably mounted about an axis, wound and from the dispenser bobbin can be unwound, and a device for a length compensation between the first film and the second film, the one when unwinding the two films from the dispenser bobbin and the subsequent winding of the two films with the optionally trapped sheet material e equal length difference compensates.

Damit läßt sich ein kompakter Aufbau der Vorrichtung erzielen, da nur eine einzige Spenderspule für die beiden das Transportmittel bildenden Folien benötigt wird. Dadurch ergibt sich auch ein geringerer Aufwand bei der Realisierung, z. B. bei den für die Spenderspulen benötigten Antriebe bzw. Motoren. Dies wird durch den Längenausgleich erreicht, der für eine der gemeinsam auf der einzigen Spenderspule aufgewickelten Folien durchgeführt wird, wodurch eine sichere Speicherfunktion für Blattgut gewährleistet wird. Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung verschiedener, erfindungsgemäßer Ausführungsbeispiele im Zusammenhang mit den begleitenden Zeichnungen.This makes it possible to achieve a compact design of the device, since only a single donor coil for the two films forming the transport is needed. This also results in a lesser effort in the realization, z. B. in the required for the dispenser coils drives or motors. This is achieved by the length compensation performed on one of the sheets co-wound on the single donor bobbin, thereby ensuring a secure sheet storage function. Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of various, inventive embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In Figur 1 ist schematisch eine erste Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dargestellt.In FIG. 1 schematically a first embodiment of a device according to the invention is shown.

Die Vorrichtung weist eine Spenderspule 20 auf, mit einem Spulenkern 20', der um eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist. Auf der Spenderspule 20 ist ein Transportmittel F1, F2 vorgesehen, welches aus zwei Folien besteht. Das Transportmittel F1, F2 ist von der Spenderspule 20 abwickelbar und wird über eine Umlenkvorrichtung 11, 22 bis 27 geleitet. Die Umlenkvorrichtung 11, 22 bis 27 besteht aus Umlenkwalzen 11, 22 bis 27, die drehbar um Achsen gelagert sind.The device comprises a dispenser spool 20 having a spool core 20 'rotatably mounted about an axis. On the dispenser coil 20, a transport F1, F2 is provided, which consists of two films. The transport F1, F2 can be unwound from the dispenser spool 20 and is passed over a deflecting device 11, 22 to 27. The deflection device 11, 22 to 27 consists of guide rollers 11, 22 to 27, which are rotatably mounted about axes.

Nach der Umlenkung wird das Transportmittel F1, F2 auf einen Spulenkern 21' aufgewickelt, der um eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist und angetrieben sein kann, so daß von außen zwischen den Umlenkwalzen 23, 27 zugeführtes Blattgut BN in die Vorrichtung aktiv hineintransportiert wird. Die beiden das Transportmittel F1, F2 bildenden Folien und eventuell zugeführtes Blattgut BN werden auf dem Spulenkern 21' gewickelt und bilden eine Wickelspule 21. Zur Erleichterung der Blattzufuhr kann die Vorrichtung Leitbleche aufweisen, welche so zueinander positioniert sind, daß für das Blattgut ein Eingabeschlitz entsteht.After the deflection, the transport F1, F2 is wound on a spool core 21 ', which is rotatably mounted about an axis and can be driven, so that from the outside between the guide rollers 23, 27 fed sheet material BN is actively transported into the device. The two films F1, F2 forming films and possibly supplied sheet material BN are wound on the spool core 21 'and form a winding spool 21. To facilitate sheet feeding, the apparatus may include baffles which are positioned relative to one another such that a feed slot is created for the sheet stock.

Während der Zuführung von Blattgut BN wird die Spenderspule 20 durch das Abwickeln des Transportmittels F1, F2 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn gedreht. Dadurch verringert sich der Durchmesser der Spenderspule 20. Andererseits nimmt der Durchmesser der Wickelspule 21, die im Uhrzeigersinn angetrieben wird, entsprechend zu. Da sich der Durchmesser der Spenderspule 20 im Vergleich zum Durchmesser der Wickelspule 21 während des Betriebes ändert, ändert sich in entsprechender Weise auch die Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit der jeweiligen Spulen, so daß die Geschwindigkeit eines den Spulenkern 21' antreibenden Antriebs oder Motors entsprechend geregelt wird, um eine gleichbleibende Geschwindigkeit des Transportmittels F1, F2 zu gewährleisten.During the supply of sheet material BN, the dispenser bobbin 20 is rotated by unwinding the transport means F1, F2 in the counterclockwise direction. This reduces the diameter of the dispenser spool 20. On the other hand, the diameter of the spool 21, which is driven in a clockwise direction, increases accordingly. As the diameter of the dispenser bobbin 20 changes in comparison to the diameter of the bobbin 21 during operation, the speed of rotation of the respective bobbins also changes accordingly, so that the speed of a drive or motor driving the bobbin 21 'is controlled accordingly to ensure a constant speed of the means of transport F1, F2.

Soll das in der Wickelspule 21 von Transportmittel F1, F2 zwischen den beiden Folien aufgenommene und gespeicherte Blattgut BN wieder außerhalb der Vorrichtung verfügbar sein, kann mittels eines Antriebs oder Motors die Spendespule 20 bzw. der sie tragende Spulenkern 20' im Uhrzeigersinn angetrieben werden. In diesem Fall wird die Wickelspule 21 durch das Transportmittel F1, F2 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, so daß das zwischen den Folien F1, F2 gehaltene Blattgut BN am Ausgang der Vorrichtung zwischen den Umlenkwalzen 23, 27 erscheit. Wurde einzelne Stücke Blattgut BN in der Wickelspule 21 gespeichert, stehen diese beim Abwickeln auch wieder einzeln zur Verfügung und können von einem an die Vorrichtung angrenzenden Transportsystem übernommen werden. Auch bei der Ausgabe des Blattguts können die oben beschriebenen oder zusätzliche Leitbleche verwendet werden, z. B. um sicherzustellen, daß das Blattgut BN sicher von dem Transportmittel F1, F2 gelöst wird.If the sheet material BN received and stored in the reel spool 21 of transport means F1, F2 between the two films is again available outside the device, the dispensing spool 20 or the spool core 20 'carrying it can be driven clockwise by means of a drive or motor. In this case, the reel spool 21 is rotated counterclockwise by the transport means F1, F2, so that the sheet material BN held between the films F1, F2 protrudes at the exit of the device between the guide rollers 23, 27. If individual pieces of sheet material BN were stored in the reel spool 21, they are also individually available during unwinding and can be taken over by a transport system adjacent to the device. Also in the output of the sheet material, the above-described or additional baffles can be used be, for. B. to ensure that the sheet material BN is safely released from the transport F1, F2.

Beim Aufwickeln der das Transportmittel F1, F2 bildenden Folien und des Blattguts BN auf der Wickelspule 21 ergibt sich eine Längendifferenz für die beiden Folien F1, F2. Die in der Wickelspule 21 innen liegende zweite Folie F2 weist dabei eine geringere Länge auf, als die außen liegende erste Folie F1. Diese Längendifferenz ergibt sich durch die Dicke der verwendeten Folie sowie durch die Dicke und Menge des zwischen den Folien F1, F2 gespeicherten Blattguts BN. Wird beispielsweise von einem mittleren Durchmesser der Wickelspule von 60 mm, einer Foliendicke von 0,1 mm, einer Blattgutdicke von 0,1 mm und von der lückenlosen Speicherung von 100 einzelnen Stücken Blattgut mit einer Länge von 200 mm ausgegangen, ergibt sich eine Längendifferenz von etwa 50 mm.When winding up the transport means F1, F2 forming films and the sheet material BN on the reel spool 21 results in a length difference for the two films F1, F2. The inside of the reel spool 21 inside second film F2 has a shorter length than the outer first film F1. This difference in length is determined by the thickness of the film used and by the thickness and amount of the sheet material BN stored between the films F1, F2. For example, assuming a mean diameter of the winding bobbin of 60 mm, a film thickness of 0.1 mm, a sheet thickness of 0.1 mm and the complete storage of 100 individual pieces of sheet material with a length of 200 mm, the result is a length difference of about 50 mm.

Die beiden das Transportmittel F1, F2 bildenden Folien sind zudem übereinander auf der Spenderspule 20 aufgewickelt, weshalb sich auch beim Abwikkeln der Folien F1, F2 eine Längendifferenz für die beiden Folien F1, F2 ergibt. Die außen auf der Spenderspule 20 liegende erste Folie F1 ist dabei pro Umdrehung der Spenderspule 20 geringfügig länger als die innen liegende zweite Folie F2. Dadurch wird die oben für die Wickelspule 21 beschriebene Längendifferenz teilweise ausgeglichen. Da sich aber auf der Spenderspule 20 kein Blattgut zwischen den Folien F1, F2 befindet und da der mittlere Durchmesser der Spenderspule 20 in der Regel kleiner als der mittlere Durchmesser der Wickelspule 21 ist, verbleibt eine Längendifferenz zwischen erster Folie F1 und zweiter Folie F2.The two films F1, F2 forming the films are also superimposed on the dispenser spool 20, which is why even when Abwikkeln the films F1, F2 results in a length difference for the two films F1, F2. The outside of the dispenser spool 20 lying first film F1 is slightly longer per revolution of the dispenser spool 20 than the inner second film F2. As a result, the length difference described above for the reel spool 21 is partially compensated. However, since there is no sheet material on the dispenser spool 20 between the films F1, F2 and since the average diameter of the dispenser spool 20 is generally smaller than the average diameter of the spool 21, a difference in length remains between the first film F1 and the second film F2.

Bei der eingangs beschriebenen bekannten Vorrichtung mit zwei Spenderspulen, auf den nur jeweils eine der Folien aufgewickelt ist, kann diese Längendifferenz einfach durch unterschiedliche Drehgeschwindigkeiten der beiden Spenderspulen ausgeglichen werden. Wird jedoch nur eine Spenderspule 20 verwendet, auf welcher die beiden Folien F1, F2 aufgewickelt sind, führt die auftretende Längendifferenz zu Problemen bei der Bildung des Wickels auf der Wickelspule 21, da, wie oben beschrieben, während des Betriebs ein Längenüberschuß der zweiten Folie F2 entsteht.In the known device described above with two dispenser coils, on which only one of the films is wound, this difference in length can be easily compensated by different rotational speeds of the two donor coils. However, if only one dispenser bobbin 20 is used on which the two foils F1, F2 are wound, the length difference that occurs will cause problems with the formation of the bobbin on the bobbin 21 since, as described above, a lengthwise excess of the second film F2 will occur during operation arises.

Zum Ausgleich der entstehenden Längendifferenz weist die Vorrichtung eine Einrichtung für einen Längenausgleich 10, 11, 24, 25 auf. Die Einrichtung für den Längenausgleich 10,11, 24, 25 kann von einer Umlenkwalze 11 gebildet werden, die entlang einer Führung 10 beweglich gelagert ist. Die zweite Folie F2 ist um die Umlenkwalze 11 geschlungen. Zusätzlich wird eine Umlenkung über die Umlenkwalzen 24, 24 vorgenommen. Die Umlenkwalze 11 wirkt mit einer Kraft, die z. B. von einer Feder erzeugt werden kann, gegen die zweite Folie F2. Dadurch wird die Längendifferenz der zweite Folie F2 durch die Umlenkwalze 11 ausgeglichen, die sich dazu entlang der Führung 10 in einer ersten Richtung 12 bewegt. Verringert sich die Längendifferenz, z. B. wenn die Wickelspule 21 abgewickelt wird, wird die Umlenkwalze 11 durch die Zugkraft der in diesem Fall durch die Spenderspule 20 angetriebenen zweiten Folie F2 in der Führung 10 in einer zur ersten Richtung 12 entgegengesetzten Richtung bewegt.To compensate for the resulting difference in length, the device has a device for a length compensation 10, 11, 24, 25. The device for the length compensation 10,11, 24, 25 may be formed by a guide roller 11 which is movably mounted along a guide 10. The second film F2 is wrapped around the guide roller 11. In addition, a deflection on the guide rollers 24, 24 is made. The guide roller 11 acts with a force z. B. can be generated by a spring, against the second film F2. As a result, the difference in length of the second film F2 is compensated by the deflecting roller 11, which moves along the guide 10 in a first direction 12 for this purpose. Decreases the length difference, z. B. when the reel spool 21 is unwound, the guide roller 11 is moved by the tensile force of the driven in this case by the dispenser spool 20 second film F2 in the guide 10 in a direction opposite to the first direction 12 direction.

Für den oben beschriebene Fall der Längendifferenz von etwa 50 mm, ist für die Führung 10 somit mindestens eine Länge von 25 mm vorzusehen, da die zweite Folie F2 im Bereich der Einrichtung für den Längenausgleich wegen der Umlenkwalze 11 die doppelte Länge der Führung 10 aufweist. Aus Sicherheitsgründen sollte die Länge der Führung 10 jedoch stets etwas größer bemessen werden, da Abweichungen auftreten können. Wird beispielsweise stark gebrauchtes Blattgut in die Vorrichtung eingegeben, kann sich für die Dicke des Blattguts ein im Vergleich zu neuwertigem Blattgut größerer Wert ergeben. Für die oben beispielhaft angegebenen Werte für die Abmessungen der Bestandteile der Vorrichtung sowie des damit zu bearbeitenden Blattguts können beispielsweise 200 Stück Blattgut bei einer Länge der Führung 10 von 75 mm sicher bearbeitet werden, d. h. in der Wickelspule 21 aufgenommen werden.For the above-described case of the length difference of about 50 mm, the guide 10 thus has to have at least a length of 25 mm, since the second film F2 has twice the length of the guide 10 in the region of the device for length compensation because of the deflection roller 11. For safety reasons, however, the length of the guide 10 should always be slightly larger be measured as deviations may occur. If, for example, heavily used sheet material is fed into the device, the thickness of the sheet material may be greater than that of new sheet material. For the above-exemplified values for the dimensions of the components of the device and the sheet material to be processed therewith, for example, 200 pieces of sheet material can be reliably processed at a length of the guide 10 of 75 mm, ie be received in the winding reel 21.

In Figur 2 ist schematisch eine zweite Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dargestellt.In FIG. 2 schematically a second embodiment of a device according to the invention is shown.

Die zweite Ausführungsform entspricht im wesentlichen der in Figur 1 dargestellten ersten Ausführungsform. Der wesentliche Unterschied zwischen erster und zweiter Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß das auf der Spenderspule 20 aufgewickelte Transportmittel F1, F2 bzw. die das Transportmittel bildenden Folien in umgekehrter Reihenfolge auf die Wickelspule 21 aufgewickelt werden.The second embodiment substantially corresponds to the in FIG. 1 illustrated first embodiment. The essential difference between the first and second embodiments is that the wound up on the dispenser spool 20 transport F1, F2 or the transport-forming films are wound in reverse order on the reel spool 21.

Die auf der Spenderspule 20 außen liegende erste Folie F1 wird über die Einrichtung für den Längenausgleich 10,11, 24, 25 und die Umlenkwalzen 26, 27 als innen liegenden Folie auf die Wickelspule 21 aufgewickelt. Dagegen wird die innen liegende zweite Folie F2 über die Umlenkwalzen 22, 23 als außen liegende Folie auf die Wickelspule 21 aufgewickelt. Dazu werden die oben beschriebenen Drehrichtungen der Spenderspule 20 jeweils entgegengesetzt verwendet.The first film F1 lying on the outside of the dispenser spool 20 is wound onto the reel spool 21 via the device for the length compensation 10, 11, 24, 25 and the guide rollers 26, 27 as an inner film. In contrast, the inner second film F2 is wound over the guide rollers 22, 23 as an external film on the reel spool 21. For this purpose, the above-described directions of rotation of the dispenser spool 20 are used in opposite directions.

Wegen der oben im Zusammenhang mit der Figur 1 beschriebenen ersten Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung auftretenden Längendifferenzen, wonach die außen liegende erste Folie F1 beim Abwickeln von der Spenderspule 20 eine größere Länge aufweist als die innen liegende zweite Folie F2, wird die auftretende Längendifferenz zwischen erster und zweiter Folie F1 und F2 noch vergrößert. Deshalb ist auch für die Führung 10 der Einrichtung für den Längenausgleich eine größere Länge erforderlich. Aus diesem Grund wird die erste Ausführungsform bevorzugt, da diese den erforderlichen Längenausgleich zwischen erster und zweiter Folie F1 und F2 mit einer geringeren Länge der Führung 10 der Einrichtung für den Längenausgleich bewerkstelligen kann.Because of the above related to the FIG. 1 described first embodiment of the device occurring differences in length, according to which the outer first film F1 when unwinding from the dispenser coil 20 has a greater length than the inner second film F2, the length difference between the first and second film F1 and F2 is still increased. Therefore, a longer length is required for the guide 10 of the device for length compensation. For this reason, the first embodiment is preferred because it can accomplish the required length compensation between the first and second foils F1 and F2 with a shorter length of the guide 10 of the length compensation device.

Die Spulenkerne 20' und 21' von Spenderspule 20 und Wickelspule 21 können beispielsweise mit je einem Schrittmotor angetrieben werden, die mit den Achsen der Spulenkerne 20' und 21' verbunden sind. Um zu jeder Zeit während des Annehmens oder Ausgebens von Blattgut aus der Vorrichtung zu gewährleisten, daß die Folien des Transportmittel F1, F2 ausreichend gespannt sind, kann es vorgesehen sein, daß jeweils einer der Motoren angerieben wird, während der jeweils andere Motor eine geringe Bremskraft erzeugt. Die Bremskraft kann beispielsweise dadurch erzeugt werden, daß an den die Bremskraft erzeugenden Schrittmotor eine Spannung angelegt wird, der Schrittmotor jedoch nicht gepulst wird.The coil cores 20 'and 21' of the dispenser coil 20 and the reel spool 21 can be driven, for example, each with a stepper motor, which are connected to the axes of the coil cores 20 'and 21'. In order to ensure at all times during the acceptance or output of sheet material from the device that the films of the transport F1, F2 are sufficiently stretched, it may be provided that each one of the motors is ground, while the other motor has a low braking force generated. The braking force may be generated, for example, by applying a voltage to the stepping motor generating the braking force, but not pulsing the stepping motor.

Bei den beschriebenen Ausführungsformen werden für das Transportmittel F1, F2 Folien verwendet, z. B. dünne Kunststoffolien, die beispielsweise eine Dicke von 0,1 mm aufweisen.In the described embodiments foils are used for the transport F1, F2, z. As thin plastic films, for example, have a thickness of 0.1 mm.

In den oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen wurde davon ausgegangen, daß das zu bearbeitende Blattgut BN parallel zu seinen langen Kanten in die Vorrichtung eingeführt und auf der Wickelspule 21 aufgewickelt wird. Es ist aber offensichtlich, daß das Blattgut auch parallel zu seinen kurzen Kanten in die Vorrichtung eingeführt und auf der Wickelspule 21 aufgewickelt werden kann. In diesem Fall reduziert sich beispielsweise die Länge der Führung 10 der Einrichtung für den Längenausgleich, da das Aufwickeln einer gleichen Menge gleich großen Blattguts mit weniger Transportmittel F1, F2 bewerkstelligt werden kann.In the embodiments described above, it has been assumed that the sheet material BN to be processed is inserted into the apparatus parallel to its long edges and wound on the reel spool 21. However, it is obvious that the sheet material can also be introduced parallel to its short edges in the device and wound on the reel spool 21. In this case, for example, reduces the length of the guide 10 of the device for length compensation, since the winding of an equal amount of the same size sheet material can be accomplished with less transport F1, F2.
