  • the invention relates to a device for separating banknotes of a value note stack with at least one input tray with an opening for entering the value note stack.
  • the device comprises a pressure element that presses the notes of value entered in the input compartment to a withdrawal element.
  • the device comprises a closure element for closing and opening the opening of the input tray.
  • the invention relates to a method for separating banknotes of a banknote stack, in which the banknote stack is entered into an input tray through an opening of the input tray and the input value stack is pressed by means of a pressure element against a trigger element.
  • the apparatus and method are preferably used in deposit-in machines and recycling machines. It is important that the input tray is closed by the closure member after entering the value note stack to prevent or at least prevent access to the note stack by the person who has entered the note stack into the input tray or by another person, vandalism and other manipulation attempts be made more difficult.
  • the closure element must be the opening before or during the separation of the notes of value close the value note stack and keep it closed during the separation of the notes of value of the value note stack.
  • the banknotes of the banknote stack must be pressed with a predetermined force against the trigger element, so that only the value of the banknote stack attached to the trigger element is reliably deducted, and thus a correct separation of the banknote banknotes of the banknote stack takes place.
  • One way to achieve after entering the Wertheimstapels in the input tray both a closure of the input tray through the closure element and the pressing of the Wertscheinstapels to the trigger element by the pressure element is to drive both the closure element and the pressure element via a respective drive unit.
  • drive units preferably electric motors are used.
  • a disadvantage of the use of two drive units is that a high space requirement is required by the two drive units, whereby a compact design of the device for separating banknotes is difficult. Furthermore, the use of two drive units is costly.
  • a printer which comprises a paper compartment which can be closed by a manually operable lid, wherein on the lid a Spring is arranged, by means of which the paper stack is pressed against a trigger element.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device and a method by which an input tray is closed in a simple manner and is pressed by a value entered into the input tray value stack in a simple manner against at least one trigger element.
  • a closure element for closing and opening the opening of an input tray for entering bills of a value note stack and a pressure element for pressing the entered into the input tray banknotes to a trigger element due to the connection together drivable together are.
  • closure element and the pressure element are connected to one another via at least one connecting element.
  • closure element and the pressure element are connected to each other via at least one connecting element such that the relative position of the closure element and the pressure element to each other, as in a rigid connection of the closure element and the pressure element together, is unchangeable. Rather, the relative position of the connecting element and the pressure element is mutually variable. This ensures that the closure element and the pressure element can be driven together and more complex movement paths of the pressure element and / or connecting element are possible.
  • the mechanical connection of the closure element and the pressure element takes place via at least one hinge connection. It is particularly advantageous to provide a hinge pin as a connecting element. By such a hinge connection is achieved that the closure element and the pressure element are rotatably or pivotally connected to each other.
  • the drive unit for opening and closing the closure element. It is particularly advantageous if the drive unit comprises a motor which engages with the closure element via a link and a sliding block.
  • the drive unit drives not only the closure element but also the pressure element.
  • only one drive unit is required for driving the closure element and the pressure element without these being rigidly connected to one another.
  • a compact construction of the device is achieved.
  • the use of only one drive unit is cost-minimizing.
  • the trigger element comprises at least one take-off roller.
  • the input tray at least one of the pressure element opposite guide plate, a base frame and a boundary element comprises. In this way, on the one hand, additional guidance of the notes of value entered into the input pocket is achieved and, on the other hand, unwanted access to the notes of value entered into the input pocket is prevented.
  • the trigger element protrudes through the guide plate. In this way, a contact between the withdrawal element facing the banknote of the deduction element depressed value note stack and the trigger element is ensured.
  • the device comprises at least one leg spring whose first leg presses against the side of the pressure element facing away from the trigger element and presses its second leg against the side of the closure element facing in the input pocket. With the help of the leg spring, a force between the closure element and the pressure element is transferable.
  • the device comprises a control unit.
  • the control unit controls the drive unit for driving the closure element in an input mode such that the opening of the input compartment is opened and the pressure element is arranged at a distance from the withdrawal unit for releasing an input area.
  • the control unit controls the drive unit for driving the closure element in a singulation mode such that the opening of the input tray is at least partially closed and the pressure element pressed into the input tray value stack against the trigger element presses.
  • the opening of the input tray in the singulation mode is closed at least so far that access is no longer possible from the outside.
  • the control unit controls the drive unit for driving the closure element in a rest mode such that the opening of the input tray is completely closed.
  • the pressure element at the end opposite the closure element has a sliding element and when the base frame has a slide rail, wherein the sliding element of the pressure element during the displacement of the pressure element at least temporarily slides along the slide rail of the base frame.
  • the invention relates to a method for separating banknotes of a banknote stack, in which the banknote stack is entered into an input tray through an opening of the input tray. Further, the input value stack is pressed by means of a pressing element connected to a closure element for closing and opening the opening of the input tray against a trigger element. It is advantageous if the closure element and the pressure element are connected to one another in such a way that on the one hand when closing the closure element Pressure element is automatically moved so that the value note stack is pressed by means of the pressure element against the trigger unit, and that on the other hand when opening the closure element, the pressure element is automatically moved away from the trigger element. This ensures that only the closure element has to be driven, and the pressure element automatically performs the desired movement.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Vereinzeln von Wertscheinen eines Wertscheinstapels mit mindestens einem Eingabefach mit einer Öffnung zur Eingabe des Wertscheinstapels. Die Vorrichtung umfasst ein Andruckselement, das die im Eingabefach eingegebenen Wertscheine an ein Abzugselement drückt. Ferner umfasst die Vorrichtung ein Verschlusselement zum Verschließen und Öffnen der Öffnung des Eingabefachs.The invention relates to a device for separating banknotes of a value note stack with at least one input tray with an opening for entering the value note stack. The device comprises a pressure element that presses the notes of value entered in the input compartment to a withdrawal element. Furthermore, the device comprises a closure element for closing and opening the opening of the input tray.

Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Vereinzeln von Wertscheinen eines Wertscheinstapels, bei dem der Wertscheinstapel in ein Eingabefach durch eine Öffnung des Eingabefaches eingegeben wird und der eingegebene Wertscheinstapel mit Hilfe eines Andruckelements gegen ein Abzugselement gedrückt wird.Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for separating banknotes of a banknote stack, in which the banknote stack is entered into an input tray through an opening of the input tray and the input value stack is pressed by means of a pressure element against a trigger element.

Die Vorrichtung und das Verfahren werden vorzugsweise in Einzahlungsgeldautomaten und Recyclinggeldautomaten eingesetzt. Es ist wichtig, dass das Eingabefach nach der Eingabe des Wertscheinstapels durch das Verschlusselement verschlossen wird, damit ein Zugriff auf den Wertscheinstapel durch die Person, die den Wertscheinstapel in das Eingabefach eingegeben hat, oder durch eine andere Person, Vandalismus und andere Manipulationsversuche verhindert oder zumindest erschwert werden. Hierzu muss das Verschlusselement die Öffnung vor oder während der Vereinzelung der Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels verschließen und während der Vereinzelung der Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels verschlossen halten. Die Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels müssen mit einer vorgegebenen Kraft gegen das Abzugselement gedrückt werden, damit zuverlässig nur der an dem Abzugselement anliegende Wertschein des Wertscheinstapels abgezogen wird, und somit eine korrekte Vereinzelung der Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels erfolgt.The apparatus and method are preferably used in deposit-in machines and recycling machines. It is important that the input tray is closed by the closure member after entering the value note stack to prevent or at least prevent access to the note stack by the person who has entered the note stack into the input tray or by another person, vandalism and other manipulation attempts be made more difficult. For this purpose, the closure element must be the opening before or during the separation of the notes of value close the value note stack and keep it closed during the separation of the notes of value of the value note stack. The banknotes of the banknote stack must be pressed with a predetermined force against the trigger element, so that only the value of the banknote stack attached to the trigger element is reliably deducted, and thus a correct separation of the banknote banknotes of the banknote stack takes place.

Eine Möglichkeit, nach der Eingabe des Wertscheinstapels in das Eingabefach sowohl ein Verschließen des Eingabefachs durch das Verschlusselement als auch das Andrücken des Wertscheinstapels an das Abzugselement durch das Andruckelement zu erreichen ist es, sowohl das Verschlusselement als auch das Andruckelement über jeweils eine Antriebseinheit anzutreiben. Als Antriebseinheiten werden vorzugsweise Elektromotoren eingesetzt. Nachteilig an dem Einsatz von zwei Antriebseinheiten ist es, dass durch die zwei Antriebseinheiten ein hoher Platzbedarf benötigt wird, wodurch eine kompakte Bauweise der Vorrichtung zum Vereinzeln von Wertscheinen erschwert wird. Ferner ist die Verwendung zweier Antriebseinheiten kostenintensiv.One way to achieve after entering the Wertheimstapels in the input tray both a closure of the input tray through the closure element and the pressing of the Wertscheinstapels to the trigger element by the pressure element is to drive both the closure element and the pressure element via a respective drive unit.

A disadvantage of the use of two drive units is that a high space requirement is required by the two drive units, whereby a compact design of the device for separating banknotes is difficult. Furthermore, the use of two drive units is costly.

Aus dem Dokument EP 1 489 027 A1 ist ein Drucker bekannt, der ein Papierfach umfasst, das durch einen manuell betätigbaren Deckel verschließbar ist, wobei an dem Deckel eine Feder angeordnet ist, mit deren Hilfe der Papierstapel gegen ein Abzugselement gedrückt wird.From the document EP 1 489 027 A1 a printer is known which comprises a paper compartment which can be closed by a manually operable lid, wherein on the lid a Spring is arranged, by means of which the paper stack is pressed against a trigger element.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren anzugeben, durch die ein Eingabefach auf einfache Weise verschlossen wird und durch die ein in das Eingabefach eingegebener Wertscheinstapel auf einfache Weise gegen mindestens ein Abzugselement gedrückt wird.The object of the invention is to provide a device and a method by which an input tray is closed in a simple manner and is pressed by a value entered into the input tray value stack in a simple manner against at least one trigger element.

Diese Aufgabe wird in einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 14 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved in a device having the features of patent claim 1 and by a method having the features of patent claim 14. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 wird erreicht, dass ein Verschlusselement zum Verschließen und Öffnen der Öffnung eines Eingabefaches zur Eingabe von Wertscheinen eines Wertscheinstapels und ein Andruckelement zum Andrücken der in das Eingabefach eingegebenen Wertscheine an ein Abzugselement auf Grund der Verbindung miteinander gemeinsam antreibbar sind.By a device having the features of claim 1 it is achieved that a closure element for closing and opening the opening of an input tray for entering bills of a value note stack and a pressure element for pressing the entered into the input tray banknotes to a trigger element due to the connection together drivable together are.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn das Verschlusselement und das Andruckelement über mindestens ein Verbindungselement miteinander verbunden sind. Insbesondere ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Verschlusselement und das Andruckelement über mindestens ein Verbindungselement derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass die relative Lage des Verschlusselements und des Andruckelements zueinander nicht, wie bei einer starren Verbindung des Verschlusselements und des Andruckelements miteinander, unveränderbar ist. Vielmehr ist die relative Lage des Verbindungselements und des Andruckelements zueinander veränderbar. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass das Verschlusselement und das Andruckelement gemeinsam antreibbar sind und komplexere Bewegungsbahnen des Andruckelementes und/oder Verbindungselementes möglich sind.It is advantageous if the closure element and the pressure element are connected to one another via at least one connecting element. In particular, it is advantageous if the closure element and the pressure element are connected to each other via at least one connecting element such that the relative position of the closure element and the pressure element to each other, as in a rigid connection of the closure element and the pressure element together, is unchangeable. Rather, the relative position of the connecting element and the pressure element is mutually variable. This ensures that the closure element and the pressure element can be driven together and more complex movement paths of the pressure element and / or connecting element are possible.

Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die mechanische Verbindung des Verschlusselements und des Andruckelements über mindestens eine Scharnierverbindung erfolgt. Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, als Verbindungselement einen Scharnierstift vorzusehen. Durch eine solche Scharnierverbindung wird erreicht, dass das Verschlusselement und das Andruckelement drehbar bzw. verschwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the mechanical connection of the closure element and the pressure element takes place via at least one hinge connection. It is particularly advantageous to provide a hinge pin as a connecting element. By such a hinge connection is achieved that the closure element and the pressure element are rotatably or pivotally connected to each other.

Des Weiteren ist es vorteilhaft, eine Antriebseinheit zum Öffnen und Verschließen des Verschlusselements vorzusehen. Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Antriebseinheit einen Motor umfasst, der über eine Kulisse und einen Kulissenstein mit dem Verschlusselement im Eingriff steht. Durch die Verbindung des Verschlusselements und des Andruckelements miteinander wird erreicht, dass die Antriebseinheit nicht nur das Verschlusselement sondern auch das Andruckelement antreibt. Hierdurch wird nur eine Antriebseinheit zum Antrieb des Verschlusselements und des Andruckelements benötigt ohne dass diese starr miteinander verbunden sind. Hierdurch wird eine kompakte Bauweise der Vorrichtung erreicht. Ferner ist die Verwendung nur einer Antriebseinheit kostenminimierend.Furthermore, it is advantageous to provide a drive unit for opening and closing the closure element. It is particularly advantageous if the drive unit comprises a motor which engages with the closure element via a link and a sliding block. By connecting the closure element and the pressure element together, it is achieved that the drive unit drives not only the closure element but also the pressure element. As a result, only one drive unit is required for driving the closure element and the pressure element without these being rigidly connected to one another. As a result, a compact construction of the device is achieved. Furthermore, the use of only one drive unit is cost-minimizing.

Darüber hinaus ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Abzugselement mindestens eine Abzugsrolle umfasst. Hierdurch wird ein besonders einfacher Abzug des an dem Abzugselement anliegenden Wertscheins des Wertscheinstapels erreicht.Moreover, it is advantageous if the trigger element comprises at least one take-off roller. As a result, a particularly simple deduction of the voltage applied to the withdrawal value note of the value note stack is achieved.

Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Eingabefach zumindest eine dem Andruckelement gegenüberliegende Führungsplatte, einen Grundrahmen und ein Begrenzungselement umfasst. Auf diese Weise wird zum Einen eine zusätzliche Führung der in das Eingabefach eingegebenen Wertscheine erreicht und zum Anderen ein unerwünschter Zugriff auf die in das Eingabefach eingegebenen Wertscheine verhindert.Further, it is advantageous if the input tray at least one of the pressure element opposite guide plate, a base frame and a boundary element comprises. In this way, on the one hand, additional guidance of the notes of value entered into the input pocket is achieved and, on the other hand, unwanted access to the notes of value entered into the input pocket is prevented.

Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Abzugselement durch die Führungsplatte ragt. Hierdurch wird ein Kontakt zwischen dem dem Abzugselement zugewandten Wertschein des an das Abzugselement gedrückten Wertscheinstapels und des Abzugelements sichergestellt.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the trigger element protrudes through the guide plate. In this way, a contact between the withdrawal element facing the banknote of the deduction element depressed value note stack and the trigger element is ensured.

Darüber hinaus ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Vorrichtung mindestens eine Schenkelfeder umfasst, deren erster Schenkel gegen die dem Abzugselement abgewandte Seite des Andruckselements drückt und deren zweiter Schenkel gegen die im Eingabefach zugewandte Seite des Verschlusselements drückt. Mit Hilfe der Schenkelfeder ist eine Kraft zwischen dem Verschlusselement und dem Andruckelement übertragbar.Moreover, it is advantageous if the device comprises at least one leg spring whose first leg presses against the side of the pressure element facing away from the trigger element and presses its second leg against the side of the closure element facing in the input pocket. With the help of the leg spring, a force between the closure element and the pressure element is transferable.

Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Vorrichtung eine Steuereinheit umfasst. Die Steuereinheit steuert die Antriebseinheit zum Antrieb des Verschlusselements in einer Eingabebetriebsart derart, dass die Öffnung des Eingabefachs geöffnet und das Andruckelement in einem Abstand zur Abzugseinheit zur Freigabe eines Eingabebereichs angeordnet ist. Ferner steuert die Steuereinheit die Antriebseinheit zum Antrieb des Verschlusselements in einer Vereinzelungsbetriebsart derart, dass die Öffnung des Eingabefachs zumindest teilweise geschlossen ist und das Andruckelement den in das Eingabefach eingegebenen Wertscheinstapel gegen das Abzugselement drückt. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Öffnung des Eingabefaches in der Vereinzelungsbetriebsart zumindest soweit geschlossen, dass von außen kein Zugriff mehr möglich ist. Des Weiteren steuert die Steuereinheit die Antriebseinheit zum Antrieb des Verschlusselements in einer Ruhebetriebsart derart, dass die Öffnung des Eingabefachs vollständig geschlossen ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the device comprises a control unit. The control unit controls the drive unit for driving the closure element in an input mode such that the opening of the input compartment is opened and the pressure element is arranged at a distance from the withdrawal unit for releasing an input area. Furthermore, the control unit controls the drive unit for driving the closure element in a singulation mode such that the opening of the input tray is at least partially closed and the pressure element pressed into the input tray value stack against the trigger element presses. Advantageously, the opening of the input tray in the singulation mode is closed at least so far that access is no longer possible from the outside. Furthermore, the control unit controls the drive unit for driving the closure element in a rest mode such that the opening of the input tray is completely closed.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn das Andruckelement an dem dem Verschlusselement gegenüberliegenden Ende ein Gleitelement hat und wenn der Grundrahmen eine Gleitschiene hat, wobei das Gleitelement des Andruckelements bei der Verschiebung des Andruckelements zumindest zeitweise entlang der Gleitschiene des Grundrahmens gleitet. Durch das Gleiten des Gleitelements des Andruckelements entlang der Gleitschiene des Grundrahmens wird eine zusätzliche Führung des Andruckelements erreicht. Insbesondere wird erreicht, dass das Andruckelement immer nahezu parallel zur Führungsplatte angeordnet ist.It is advantageous if the pressure element at the end opposite the closure element has a sliding element and when the base frame has a slide rail, wherein the sliding element of the pressure element during the displacement of the pressure element at least temporarily slides along the slide rail of the base frame. By sliding the sliding element of the pressure element along the slide rail of the base frame, an additional guidance of the pressure element is achieved. In particular, it is achieved that the pressure element is always arranged almost parallel to the guide plate.

Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Vereinzeln von Wertscheinen eines Wertscheinstapels, bei dem der Wertscheinstapel in ein Eingabefach durch eine Öffnung des Eingabefachs eingegeben wird. Ferner wird der eingegebene Wertscheinstapel mit Hilfe eines mit einem Verschlusselement zum Verschließen und Öffnen der Öffnung des Eingabefaches verbundenen Andruckelements gegen ein Abzugselement gedrückt. Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn das Verschlusselement und das Andruckelement derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass zum Einen beim Verschließen des Verschlusselements das Andruckelement automatisch derart bewegt wird, dass der Wertscheinstapel mit Hilfe des Andruckelements gegen die Abzugseinheit gedrückt wird, und dass zum Anderen beim Öffnen des Verschlusselements das Andruckelement automatisch von dem Abzugselement wegbewegt wird. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass nur das Verschlusselement angetrieben werden muss, und das Andruckelement die gewünschte Bewegung automatisch ausführt.Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for separating banknotes of a banknote stack, in which the banknote stack is entered into an input tray through an opening of the input tray. Further, the input value stack is pressed by means of a pressing element connected to a closure element for closing and opening the opening of the input tray against a trigger element. It is advantageous if the closure element and the pressure element are connected to one another in such a way that on the one hand when closing the closure element Pressure element is automatically moved so that the value note stack is pressed by means of the pressure element against the trigger unit, and that on the other hand when opening the closure element, the pressure element is automatically moved away from the trigger element. This ensures that only the closure element has to be driven, and the pressure element automatically performs the desired movement.

Das durch den unabhängigen Verfahrensanspruch spezifizierte Verfahren kann in gleicher Weise weitergebildet werden, wie die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung. Insbesondere kann das Verfahren mit den in den auf die Vorrichtung zurückbezogenen abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegebenen Merkmalen bzw. entsprechende Verfahrensmerkmale weiterentwickelt werden.The method specified by the independent method claim can be developed in the same way as the device according to the invention. In particular, the method can be developed further with the features specified in the dependent claims dependent on the device or corresponding method features.

In Figur 1 ist eine schematische Darstellung eines ersten Schnitts durch eine Vorrichtung 10 zum Vereinzeln von Wertscheinen eines Wertscheinstapels in einer Eingabebetriebsart gezeigt. Die Vorrichtung 10 wird auch als Eingabe- und Vereinzelungsmodul bezeichnet. Bei den Wertscheinen handelt es sich insbesondere um Banknoten. Alternativ können auch insbesondere Belege der Vorrichtung 10 zugeführt werden.In FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a first section through an apparatus 10 for separating notes of value of a bill of exchange in an input mode shown. The device 10 is also referred to as an input and separation module. The banknotes are in particular banknotes. Alternatively, in particular documents can be supplied to the device 10.

Die Vorrichtung 10 kommt in einem Geldautomaten, vorzugsweise in einem Einzahlungsgeldautomaten oder in einem Recyclinggeldautomaten, zum Einsatz. Der Wertscheinstapel wird durch einen Kunden in einen Eingabebereich eines Eingabefachs 12 der Vorrichtung 10 eingegeben. Die Vorrichtung 10 dient dazu, die Wertscheine des eingegebenen Wertscheinstapels einzeln aus dem Eingabefach 12 abzuziehen und durch einen Spalt 14 einem nicht dargestellten Transportpfad des Geldautomaten zuzuführen.The device 10 is used in an ATM, preferably in a deposit vending machine or in a recycling machine. The note stack is entered by a customer in an input area of an input tray 12 of the device 10. The device 10 is used to deduct the notes of value of the entered value note stack individually from the input tray 12 and fed through a gap 14 a transport path of the ATM, not shown.

Das Eingabefach 12 umfasst einen Grundrahmen 16, eine parallel zum Grundrahmen 16 angeordnete Führungsplatte 18 und ein Begrenzungselement 20. Das nahezu L-förmige Begrenzungselement 20 ist derart angeordnet, dass der längere Teil des Begrenzungselements 20 orthogonal zum Grundrahmen 16 und zur Führungsplatte 18 angeordnet ist, und dass der kürzere Teil des Begrenzungselements 20 nahezu parallel zur Führungsplatte 18 angeordnet ist. Der Spalt 14, durch den die abgezogenen Wertscheine abtransportiert werden, wird durch den kurzen Teil des Begrenzungselements 20 und durch die Führungsplatte 18 begrenzt.The input tray 12 comprises a base frame 16, a guide plate 18 arranged parallel to the base frame 16 and a delimiting element 20. The almost L-shaped delimiting element 20 is arranged such that the longer part of the delimiting element 20 is arranged orthogonal to the base frame 16 and the guide plate 18, and that the shorter part of the limiting element 20 is arranged almost parallel to the guide plate 18. The gap 14, through which the withdrawn notes of value are removed, is limited by the short part of the delimiting element 20 and by the guide plate 18.

Ferner umfasst die Vorrichtung 10 eine Abzugsrolle 22. Die Abzugsrolle 22 ist drehfest mit einer Achse 24 verbunden. Die Achse 24 ist durch eine nicht dargestellte Antriebseinheit antreibbar. Die Abzugsrolle 22 ist vorteilhafterweise derart angeordnet, dass sie durch eine Aussparung in der Führungsplatte 18 in das Eingabefach 12 ragt und somit Zugriff auf einen in das Eingabefach eingegebenen Wertscheinstapel hat. Die Mantelfläche der Abzugsrolle 22 hat eine Zahnung, um die Reibung zwischen der Abzugsrolle 22 und dem der Abzugsrolle 22 zugewandten Wertschein des in das Eingabefach 12 eingegebenen Wertscheinstapels zu erhöhen.Furthermore, the device 10 comprises a take-off roller 22. The take-off roller 22 is non-rotatably connected to an axle 24. The axis 24 is by a drive unit, not shown drivable. The take-off roll 22 is advantageously arranged so that it projects through a recess in the guide plate 18 in the input tray 12 and thus has access to an input into the input tray stack of valuables. The lateral surface of the take-off roller 22 has a toothing in order to increase the friction between the take-off roll 22 and the value of the value note stack entered into the input pocket 12 facing the take-off roll 22.

Alternativ können anstatt der Abzugsrolle 22 auch andere Rotationselemente, insbesondere Walzen, verwendet werden. Ferner können auch mehrere Abzugsrollen 22, beispielsweise zwei Abzugsrollen 22, auf der Achse 24 angeordnet sein. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Abzugsrollen einen Abstand zueinander haben, so dass sie nicht direkt aneinander grenzen. Des Weiteren kann alternativ auch eine oder mehrere Abzugsrollen ohne Zahnung mit glatter Mantelfläche verwendet werden.Alternatively, instead of the take-off roller 22, other rotation elements, in particular rollers, may also be used. Furthermore, several take-off rollers 22, for example two take-off rollers 22, may be arranged on the axle 24. It is advantageous if the take-off rollers have a distance from each other so that they do not directly adjoin one another. Furthermore, alternatively, one or more take-off rollers without toothing with a smooth outer surface can be used.

Ferner umfasst die Vorrichtung 10 ein Verschlusselement 26 zum Öffnen und Verschließen der Öffnung des Eingabefachs 12. Das Verschlusselement 26 wird auch als Shutter 26 bezeichnet. Der Shutter 26 hat im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel die Form eines Zylindersegments. Das Öffnen und Schließen des Shutters 26 erfolgt mit Hilfe einer in Figur 1 nicht sichtbaren Antriebseinheit 52. Die Antriebseinheit 52 ist vorzugsweise ein Elektromotor. Die mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Shutter 26 und der Antriebseinheit wird nachfolgend im Zusammenhang mit Figur 4 noch näher erläutert.Furthermore, the device 10 comprises a closure element 26 for opening and closing the opening of the input compartment 12. The closure element 26 is also referred to as a shutter 26. The shutter 26 has the shape of a cylinder segment in the present embodiment. The opening and closing of the shutter 26 by means of a in FIG. 1 invisible drive unit 52. The drive unit 52 is preferably an electric motor. The mechanical connection between the shutter 26 and the drive unit will be described below FIG. 4 explained in more detail.

Die Vorrichtung 10 umfasst weiterhin ein Andruckelement 28, das innerhalb des Eingabefachs 12 der Vorrichtung 10 angeordnet ist. Das Andruckelement 28 wird auch als Andruckplatte bezeichnet. Das Andruckelement 28 dient dazu, den in den Eingabebereich des Eingabefachs 12 eingegebenen Wertscheinstapel gegen die Abzugsrolle 22 zu drücken, so dass derjenige Wertschein des Wertscheinstapels, der der Abzugsrolle 22 zugewandt ist, mit Hilfe der Abzugsrolle 22 vom Wertscheinstapel abgezogen werden und durch den Spalt 14 abtransportiert werden kann. Das Andruckelement 28 begrenzt zusammen mit der Führungsplatte 18 und dem Begrenzungselement 20 den Eingabebereich des Eingabefaches 12.The device 10 further comprises a pressure element 28, which is arranged within the input compartment 12 of the device 10. The pressure element 28 is also referred to as a pressure plate. The pressure element 28 serves to press the input into the input area of the input tray 12 Wertscheinstapel against the take-off roller 22, so that the one bill of the value note stack, which faces the take-off roll 22, be deducted from the value note stack by means of the take-off roll 22 and through the gap 14th can be removed. The pressure element 28 defines, together with the guide plate 18 and the limiting element 20, the input area of the input tray 12.

Das Andruckelement 28 und der Shutter 26 sind über mindestens eine Scharnierverbindung drehbar miteinander verbunden. Hierzu sind ein erstes Ende der Andrucksplatte 28 und ein erstes Ende des Shutters 26 derart ausgebildet, dass sie mit Hilfe eines Scharnierstiftes 30 drehbar miteinander verbindbar sind.The pressure element 28 and the shutter 26 are rotatably connected to each other via at least one hinge connection. For this purpose, a first end of the pressure plate 28 and a first end of the shutter 26 are formed such that they are rotatably connected to each other by means of a hinge pin 30.

Ferner umfasst die Vorrichtung 10 eine Schenkelfeder 32. Die Schenkelfeder 32 ist derart angeordnet, dass ein erster Schenkel der Schenkelfeder 32 gegen die der Führungsplatte 18 abgewandte Seite des Andruckelements 28 drückt und dass ein zweiter Schenkel der Schenkelfeder 32 gegen die dem Andruckelement 28 zugewandte Seite des Shutters 26 drückt. Alternativ kann die Vorrichtung 10 auch mehrere parallel zueinander angeordnete Schenkelfedern 32 oder andere eine entsprechende Federkraft bewirkende Federanordnungen umfassen.Furthermore, the device 10 comprises a leg spring 32. The leg spring 32 is arranged such that a first leg of the leg spring 32 presses against the side facing away from the guide plate 18 of the pressure element 28 and that a second leg of the leg spring 32 against the pressure element 28 facing side of the Shutters 26 presses. Alternatively, the device 10 may also comprise a plurality of leg springs 32 arranged parallel to one another or other spring arrangements effecting a corresponding spring force.

Das Andruckelement 28 umfasst an einem zweiten dem ersten Ende gegenüberliegenden zweiten Ende ein in Figur 1 nicht sichtbares Gleitelement. Ferner umfasst das Begrenzungselement 20 eine ebenfalls nichtsichtbare Gleitschiene.The pressure element 28 comprises a second end opposite the first end FIG. 1 invisible sliding element. Furthermore, the limiting element 20 comprises a likewise non-visible slide rail.

In Figur 1 ist die Vorrichtung 10 in der Eingabebetriebsart dargestellt. In der Eingabebetriebsart ist der Shutter 26 soweit wie möglich geöffnet, und das Andruckelement 28 ist im Eingabefach 12 an der Seite des Grundrahmens 16 angeordnet. Hierdurch hat der Eingabebereich des Eingabefachs 12 seine maximale Größe, wodurch der Wertscheinstapel von einem Bankkunden oder einer anderen Person bequem in das Eingabefach eingegeben werden kann. In der Eingabebetriebsart ist ein erster Teilbereich 33 des Andruckelements 28 parallel zur Führungsplatte 18 angeordnet. Ein zweiter Teilbereich 34 des Andruckelements 28 ist gegenüber dem ersten Teilbereich 33 des Andruckelements 28 leicht abgewinkelt, so dass dadurch die Öffnung des Eingabefachs 12 vergrößert wird. Hierdurch wird die Eingabe des Wertscheinstapels in den Eingabebereich des Eingabefaches 12 weiter vereinfacht.In FIG. 1 the device 10 is shown in the input mode. In the input mode, the shutter 26 is opened as much as possible, and the pressing member 28 is disposed in the input tray 12 on the side of the base frame 16. As a result, the input area of the input tray 12 has its maximum size, whereby the value note stack can be conveniently entered by a bank customer or another person in the input tray. In the input mode, a first portion 33 of the pressure element 28 is arranged parallel to the guide plate 18. A second portion 34 of the pressure element 28 is slightly angled relative to the first portion 33 of the pressure element 28, so that thereby the opening of the input tray 12 is increased. As a result, the input of the value note stack in the input area of the input tray 12 is further simplified.

In Figur 2 ist eine schematische Darstellung eines ersten Schnitts durch die Vorrichtung 10 nach Figur 1 in einer Vereinzelungsbetriebsart dargestellt. Elemente mit gleichem Aufbau oder gleicher Funktion haben dieselben Bezugszeichen.In FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a first section through the device 10 according to FIG. 1 shown in a singulation mode. Elements with the same structure or the same function have the same reference numerals.

In der Vereinzelungsbetriebsart wird der in den Eingabebereich des Eingabefachs 12 eingegebene Wertscheinstapel mit Hilfe des Andruckelements 28 mit einer vorgegebenen Kraft gegen die Abzugsrolle 22 gedrückt, so dass der der Abzugsrolle 22 zugewandte Wertschein des Wertscheinstapels mit der Abzugsrolle 22 in Kontakt steht und mit Hilfe der Abzugsrolle 22 vom Wertscheinstapel entfernt und durch den Spalt 14 abtransportiert werden kann. Auch in der Vereinzelungsbetriebsart ist der erste Teilbereich 33 des Andruckelements 28 parallel zur Führungsplatte 18 angeordnet. Der Shutter 26 ist in der Vereinzelungsbetriebsart zumindest teilweise geschlossen, so dass ein Zugriff von Außen auf den in den Eingabebereich des Eingabefachs 12 eingegebenen Wertscheinstapel nicht möglich ist, bzw. erschwert wird. Dadurch werden Manipulationen verhindert bzw. erschwert. Vorteilhafterweise die Öffnung des Eingabefachs 12 in der Vereinzelungsbetriebsart vollständig durch den Shutter 26 verschlossen.In the singulation mode, the value note stack input to the input area of the input tray 12 is pressed by the pressing member 28 with a predetermined force pressed against the take-off roller 22 so that the bill of exchange 22 facing bill of the bank note stack is in contact with the take-off roller 22 and removed by means of the take-off roller 22 from the bill of stock and can be removed through the gap 14. Also in the singulation mode, the first portion 33 of the pressure element 28 is arranged parallel to the guide plate 18. The shutter 26 is at least partially closed in the singulation mode, so that access from outside to the value-dept stack input into the input area of the input tray 12 is not possible or made more difficult. As a result, manipulations are prevented or made more difficult. Advantageously, the opening of the input tray 12 in the singulation mode completely closed by the shutter 26.

Das Schließen des Shutters 26 erfolgt mit Hilfe der Antriebseinheit 52. Der Shutter 26 führt beim Schließen eine Drehbewegung gegen den Uhrzeigersinn aus.The shutter 26 is closed by means of the drive unit 52. The shutter 26 performs a counterclockwise rotation when closing.

Auf Grund der Verbindung des Shutters 26 und des Andruckelements 28 durch die Scharnierverbindung und die Schenkelfeder 32 wird das Andruckelement 28 beim Schließen des Shutters 26 automatisch in Richtung der Führungsplatte 18 bewegt. Dadurch wird der eingeführte Wertscheinstapel automatisch mit Hilfe des Andruckelements 28 gegen die Abzugsrolle 22 gedrückt. Für das Verschieben des Andruckelements 28 in Richtung der Führungsplatte 18 wird somit keine weitere Antriebseinheit benötigt. Wird der Shutter 26 geschlossen und somit in Richtung der Führungsplatte 18 bewegt, so wird auch das erste über die Scharnierverbindung mit dem Shutter 26 verbundene Ende des Andruckelements 28 in Richtung der Führungsplatte 18 bewegt. Auf Grund der Federkraft der Schenkelfeder 32 wird hierbei nicht nur das erste Ende des Andruckelements 28 in Richtung der Führungsplatte 18 bewegt, sondern das gesamte Andruckelement 28 in Richtung der Führungsplatte 18 verschoben. Bei der Verschiebung des Andruckelements 28 gleitet das Gleitelement des Andruckelements 28 zumindest zeitweise entlang der Gleitschiene des Grundrahmens 16. Durch das Gleitelement der Andruckplatte 28 stützt sich das durch die Schenkelfeder 32 erzeugte Drehmoment derart auf der Gleitschiene des Grundrahmens 16 ab, dass die Andruckplatte 28 immer nahezu parallel zur Führungsplatte 18 gehalten wird. Wird der Wertscheinstapel gegen die Abzugsrolle 22 gedrückt, so hebt das Gleitelement des Andruckelements 28 von der Gleitschiene des Grundrahmens 16 ab und die Andruckplatte 28 drückt den Wertscheinstapel mit Hilfe der Federkraft der Schenkelfeder 32 gegen die Abzugsrolle 22.Due to the connection of the shutter 26 and the pressure element 28 through the hinge connection and the leg spring 32, the pressure element 28 is automatically moved in the direction of the guide plate 18 when the shutter 26 is closed. As a result, the inserted value note stack is automatically pressed by means of the pressure element 28 against the take-off roller 22. For the displacement of the pressure element 28 in the direction of the guide plate 18 thus no further drive unit is needed. If the shutter 26 is closed and thus moved in the direction of the guide plate 18, so is the first on the hinge connection moved with the shutter 26 connected end of the pressure element 28 in the direction of the guide plate 18. Due to the spring force of the leg spring 32 in this case not only the first end of the pressure element 28 is moved in the direction of the guide plate 18, but the entire pressure element 28 is displaced in the direction of the guide plate 18. During the displacement of the pressure element 28, the sliding element of the pressure element 28 at least temporarily slides along the slide rail of the base frame 16. By the sliding element of the pressure plate 28, the torque generated by the leg spring 32 is supported on the slide rail of the base frame 16 such that the pressure plate 28 always is held almost parallel to the guide plate 18. If the value stack is pressed against the take-off roller 22, the sliding element of the pressure element 28 lifts from the slide rail of the base frame 16 and the pressure plate 28 presses the value note stack by means of the spring force of the leg spring 32 against the take-off roller 22.

In Figur 3 ist eine schematische Darstellung eines ersten Schnitts durch die Vorrichtung 10 nach den Figuren 1 und 2 in einer Ruhebetriebsart dargestellt. In der Ruhebetriebsart befinden sich keine Wertscheine mehr im Eingabefach 12.
