Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for avoiding the issue of overlapping notes of value with at least one sensor for determining the thickness of the note (s) and with at least one transport element for transporting overlapping notes of value into a transport path for securities to be sorted out. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for avoiding the issue of overlapping banknotes.
  • the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention are preferably used in ATMs and automated cash safes.
  • the banknotes to be dispensed are removed by means of deduction units from one or more cash boxes and transported via a transport path to an output unit for dispensing the banknotes to a user of the ATM.
  • the banknotes it may happen that two or more banknotes overlap at least partially. This overlapping can be effected in particular by a double trigger, ie by a simultaneous removal of at least two bank notes from a memory. This can lead to errors in the issue of banknotes. In particular, it may happen that the user of the ATM is not paid the desired amount of money.
  • a distribution module can be arranged within the transport path of the ATM, with the help of which overlapping notes of value are determined and overlapping notes of value be sorted out by being transported out of the transport path for issuing the bank notes with the aid of the distributor module.
  • Two overlapping banknotes are also referred to as double deduction, two or more overlapping banknotes as multiple deductions. Multiple methods are used to determine multiple prints.
  • the device comprises a feeler, which is deflected depending on the thickness of the bill transported by the device. The deflection is detected by a magnetic sensor.
  • the sensor magnetic field and the magnetic sensor are arranged in the region of the Tastkufe.
  • a disadvantage of the from the DE10233052A1 known methods and from the document DE19841432C1 known device is that in both cases, the measurement at least over the length of the longest to be transported in the ATM Banknote, since only in this way all overlaps can be detected. As a result, a compact construction of the distribution module is made more difficult, since the distance between the element for determining the presence of a multiple deduction and the element for sorting the overlapping notes of value must be at least as long as the length of the longest banknote.
  • a device for issuing bank notes is known in which double deductions are recognized by means of a thickness measurement and the banknotes of the double deductions are sorted out. Furthermore, a length measurement of a deducted value note can take place.
  • the device comprises at least one first sensor for determining the length of an uninterrupted bank note sequence comprising at least one bank note and at least one second sensor for determining the thickness of the bank note or notes of value. Furthermore, the device has at least one transport element for transporting overlapping notes of value into a transport path for securities to be sorted out.
  • the transport element can be controlled with the aid of a control unit at least as a function of the determined length of the banknote sequence and the determined thickness in order to feed the securities to be sorted out to the transport path for banknotes to be sorted out.
  • a bank note or two or more or overlapping notes of value is considered under a bank note sequence.
  • the length of a note of value is considered to be the length of the edge of the note in the transport direction of the note.
  • the length of the note corresponds to the longer side length of the note.
  • the length of a note corresponds to its shorter side length.
  • the first sensor is a light barrier or a light sensor.
  • Photocells and / or light scanners are often already present in the value note handling devices contained in the device, for example, to monitor the transport path for the transport of notes of value and to determine a jam of the notes of value.
  • the second sensor comprises a magnet and a Hall sensor, if the note of value can be transported between the magnet and the Hall sensor or the notes of value can be transported between the magnet and the Hall sensor, and if the distance between the magnet and the magnet Hall sensor to one another depending on the thickness of the note or the notes of value is changeable.
  • the Hall sensor is arranged stationary and the magnet is movable orthogonal to the transport direction of the notes of value. The notes of value are transported through a transport gap formed between the Hall sensor and the magnet. As a function of the thickness of the notes of value transported or transported, the distance of the magnet from the Hall sensor and thus also the field strength of the magnetic field of the magnet measured by the Hall sensor changes.
  • the banknotes are preferably banknotes.
  • the notes of value may be, for example, other securities, such as checks.
  • a cassette for storing rejected banknotes. Overlapping notes of value are transported by means of the transport element into a transport path for securities to be sorted out.
  • the banknotes to be sorted out are transported along this transport path into the cassette to be sorted out bank notes.
  • the transport element comprises a switch, which transports the overlapping notes of value into the transport path for securities to be sorted out in a first switch position.
  • the switch transports the non-overlapping bank notes into a transport path for issuing bank notes.
  • the invention relates to a method for avoiding the issue of overlapping notes of value, wherein the length of at least one value note continuous uninterrupted bank note sequence is determined by means of at least one first sensor. Furthermore, the thickness of the banknote or notes of value is determined with the aid of at least one second sensor.
  • a transport unit for transporting overlapping banknotes into a transport path for securities to be discarded is driven as a function of the determined length of the banknote sequence and / or the determined thickness in order to feed the banknotes to be sorted out to the transport path for banknotes to be sorted out.
  • the maximum permissible length as the sum of the edge length of the largest value note to be issued in the transport direction of the notes of value and the maximum measurement inaccuracy of the first sensor.
  • the notes of value are preferably transported in a desired position, in which the edge of a note of value oriented in the direction of transport of the notes of value is parallel to the transport direction. If the actual position of a banknote deviates from this reference position in that the banknote is rotated by an angle relative to the transport direction, the distance between the foremost corner of the banknote seen in the direction of transport and the rearmost corner of the banknote seen in the direction of transport is greater than the length of the banknote value note.
  • the maximum allowable length as the sum of this distance determine or preset the maximum permissible twist of the note of value and the maximum measurement inaccuracy of the first sensor. Compare the determined thickness of the note (s) with a preset maximum allowable thickness and sort out the notes of value if the determined thickness is greater than the maximum allowable thickness. It is particularly advantageous to determine the maximum permissible thickness as the sum of the thickness of the thickest banknote to be issued and the maximum measurement inaccuracy of the second sensor. If the determined thickness is greater than the sum of the thickness of the thickest note to be issued and the maximum measurement inaccuracy of the second sensor, then it can be safely assumed that there must be an overlap of at least two notes of value.
  • the determined thickness of the note or notes of value is only compared with a preset maximum allowable thickness if the determined length of the note slip sequence does not exceed the preset maximum allowable length.
  • the banknotes of the banknote sequence are fed to the transport path for securities to be discarded if the determined thickness is greater than the maximum permissible thickness. In this way, an unnecessary effort for the evaluation of the determined thickness is avoided, if already due to the length measurement of the ticket sequence it is established that the notes of value of the bank note sequence are to be supplied to the transport path for securities to be sorted out.
  • the notes of value are fed to the ticket sequence in the transport path for notes of value to be discarded if the maximum thickness of the note or notes determined within a preset range of the ticket sequence is greater than the preset maximum allowable thickness.
  • This preset range is seen in the transport direction of the notes at the beginning of the ticket sequence. Since a ticket sequence whose length is greater than the preset maximum allowable length is already sorted by length, and the length of the smallest ticket to be transported is known, a minimum overlap can be determined which must be present if the determined length of a ticket sequence is smaller than the default maximum allowable length of a ticket sequence. Preferably, this minimum overlap can be determined as the difference of twice the length of the smallest note of value and the length of the largest note of value.
  • a range end value can be determined at which the overlap of the bank notes of the bank note sequence must begin at the latest.
  • This range end value is preferably determined as the difference between the maximum permissible length of a banknote sequence and the minimum overlap. Since the overlap of two or more notes must thus begin between the beginning of the note sequence and this range end value, the thickness of a Wertschein sequence can be determined only within this range to determine with certainty whether an overlap of notes of value exists. This ensures that the distance between the second sensor and the transport element to be sorted notes can be reduced in the transport path for to be sorted notes of value and the time between the beginning of the thickness measurement and the decision whether to erase a bank note sequence is also reduced.
