Definitions
- the invention relates to a cash box, which comprises a receiving area for receiving a value note stack, wherein the notes of value can be fed to the receiving area in a depositing direction by machine. Furthermore, the cashbox has a arranged in the receiving area, movable in the depositing direction and against the storage direction counter-pressure unit for exercising a counter to the deposit direction counter-pressure force on a recordable in the receiving area value note stack. In addition, an elastic element is provided, which biases the counter-pressure unit against the depositing direction for generating the counter-pressure force. Furthermore, the invention relates to such a counter pressure unit for cash boxes.
- the notes of value received in cash cassettes are received in the cash cassettes in the form of a value note stack, with the notes of value contacting each other with their front and / or back sides.
- the notes of value are here supplied by means of supply and / or withdrawal modules from the head of the cashbox the receiving area and / or removed. In this case, newly supplied notes of value are pressed against the face of the value-note stack already received in the cash-box.
- this counter-pressure unit is moved in each case according to the amount of recorded notes in the storage direction or against the storage direction.
- a known possibility for this is to move the counter-pressure unit by means of a drive unit, for example a motor, according to the direction of deposit or against the direction of deposit.
- the disadvantage of this is that such structures are expensive and require appropriate control.
- such counter-pressure units moved by drive units require a large number of sensors and actuators in order to reliably apply the necessary counter-pressure force. As a result, the production is costly and expensive.
- the force acting on the counterpressure unit by the value stack increases the more notes of value the value note stack comprises. Is by the drive unit always generates the same counter-pressure force, this has the consequence that the contact pressure, against the newly added notes of value are supplied to the value note stack, the lower, the more notes of value are already included in the receiving area.
- Another possibility is to attach the counter-pressure unit via pressure or tension springs on a bottom element of the cashbox, so that the counterpressure force is applied via these tension or compression springs.
- a cashbox is known for example from German patent application 10th 2011 000 790.3 known.
- the disadvantage of this is that this space-consuming and prone to errors, since the open arranged in the cash box pressure or tension springs can be moved by contact with others in components and / or in the handling of the cashbox from its predetermined position.
- the document EP 1 465 123 A1 describes a cashbox whose Andruckwagen is biased by a compression spring.
- the elastic element comprises a torsion spring, which is arranged on the counter-pressure unit.
- such a spring has the advantage that the counter-pressure force applied by it becomes greater, the more notes of value the recorded value note stack comprises, so that the depositing of the newly supplied notes of value always takes place counter to the same force, so that a particularly secure, reliable and reliable uniform storage of notes of value is ensured in the storage direction.
- the provision of a torsion spring directly on the counter-pressure unit has the advantage that a particularly compact and space-saving design is achieved.
- the torsion spring is always moved together with the counter-pressure unit in the storage direction or against the storage direction and is not, like compression or tension springs, fixed only at one end to the counter-pressure unit and with the other end to the housing. Thus, the error rate is reduced.

- the counterpressure unit can be moved, in particular, over the entire receiving area, ie, from the feed unit to a housing part of a housing of the cashbox opposite the feed unit.
- the counter-pressure unit preferably has at least one recess in which the torsion spring is at least partially, preferably completely received.
- the counter-pressure unit has a housing which surrounds the torsion spring at least partially, preferably completely.
- the torsion spring is surrounded on all sides by the housing, so that it is protected by the housing and thus is not exposed to environmental influences.
- the counterpressure unit has at least a first gear whose teeth engage in the toothing of the first rack and with the aid of which the counter-pressure unit is mounted on the first rack.

- the second gear and the fourth gear are in particular connected to each other via a shaft, wherein the two gears are each rotatably mounted on this shaft.
- the torsion spring is in particular so coupled to the first gear that the torsion spring is twisted in a first rotational direction upon rotation of the first gear. This ensures that the torsion spring is all the more twisted, the more the first gear is rotated and thus the more the counter-pressure unit is moved in the direction of deposit. Thus, the more counterprints are received in the receiving area, the more the amount of counterprints generated by the weight of the bill stack is compensated for, and the force that must be applied to supply a new bill, regardless of Number of recorded banknotes is always about the same.
- the torsion spring is coupled to the first gear in such a way that the torsion spring is relaxed during a rotation of the first gear in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction.
- the second direction of rotation is in this case in particular that direction of rotation in which the gearwheel is rotated when the counterpressure unit moves counter to the depositing direction.
- the first rotational direction of the gear is the direction of rotation in which the gear is rotated when a bill of exchange is supplied.
- the note When feeding the note of value, the note is pressed against the front of the already recorded value note stack.
- the counter-pressure unit is moved counter to the restoring force of the torsion spring in the depositing direction, so that the value note can be fed to the receiving area.
- the first gear is engaged with the first rack such that the first gear moves the counter-pressure element is rotated in the direction of deposition in the first direction of rotation and when moving counter to the direction of deposition in the second direction of rotation.

- the torsion spring is supported on the housing via the first end and is coupled to the first gear via the second end in such a way that the second end is rotated upon rotation of the first gear.
- the first gear is in particular rotatably mounted on a shaft, wherein the second end of the wire is fixed to this shaft, so that upon rotation of the first gear and thus a rotation of the shaft, the second end of the wire is rotated, so that the torsion spring accordingly is twisted and thus the counter-pressure force is increased.
- the shaft has a hole into which the second end of the wire is inserted. This allows a particularly simple installation of the counter-pressure unit.
- the third gear may be coupled to the torsion spring such that upon rotation of the third gear in the Direction in which the third gear when supplying notes of value, that is rotated when moving the counter-pressure unit in the storage direction, the torsion spring is also twisted and thus the counter-pressure force is increased.
- a torsion spring is used, the characteristic of which is such that the increase of the applied counterpressure force by supplying a bill of exchange approximately corresponds to the weight of this bill of exchange, so that the force which must be applied for supplying further banknotes to the receiving area always is about the same force.
- the feeder unit must always press the new banknotes to be delivered against the front of the banknote stack with the same force.
- a counter-pressure unit for cash boxes comprising an elastic member for biasing the counter-pressure unit against a depositing direction for generating a counter-pressure force when the counter-pressure unit is inserted in a cash box.

- the cash box 10 can also be a recycling cassette, ie the cash box 10 can be supplied with notes of value as well as withdrawn again.
- the cashbox 10 can also be a pure cashout cassette, ie the recorded banknotes are taken exclusively but no new banknotes are mechanically fed.
- the banknotes can be both banknotes and checks, with the Size of the cashbox can be adjusted according to the recorded notes of value.
- the cash box 10 comprises a supply unit 14, via which notes of value mechanically fed to the cash box 10 can be supplied to a receiving area 16 of the cash box 10 for receiving a value note stack.
- the feed unit 14, which is shown purely schematically, is in this case designed such that it moves the notes of value in a depositing direction P1 into the receiving area 16, wherein the notes of value are moved forward with their front or rear side into the receiving area 16, so that the notes of value are at an operational level Arrangement of the cashbox 10, as this in FIG. 1 is shown, rest with their front and back sides on each other.
- the cash box 10 is particularly intended for vertical use in a bill handling apparatus.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geldkassette, die einen Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme eines Wertscheinstapels umfasst, wobei die Wertscheine dem Aufnahmebereich in eine Ablagerichtung maschinell zuführbar sind. Ferner hat die Geldkassette eine in dem Aufnahmebereich angeordnete, in Ablagerichtung und entgegen der Ablagerichtung bewegliche Gegendruckeinheit zum Ausüben eine entgegen der Ablagerichtung gerichteten Gegendruckkraft auf einen in dem Aufnahmebereich aufnehmbaren Wertscheinstapel. Darüber hinaus ist ein elastisches Element vorgesehen, welches die Gegendruckeinheit entgegen der Ablagerichtung zum Erzeugen der Gegendruckkraft vorspannt. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine solche Gegendruckeinheit für Geldkassetten.The invention relates to a cash box, which comprises a receiving area for receiving a value note stack, wherein the notes of value can be fed to the receiving area in a depositing direction by machine. Furthermore, the cashbox has a arranged in the receiving area, movable in the depositing direction and against the storage direction counter-pressure unit for exercising a counter to the deposit direction counter-pressure force on a recordable in the receiving area value note stack. In addition, an elastic element is provided, which biases the counter-pressure unit against the depositing direction for generating the counter-pressure force. Furthermore, the invention relates to such a counter pressure unit for cash boxes.
Die in Geldkassetten aufgenommenen Wertscheine werden in den Geldkassetten in Form eines Wertscheinstapels aufgenommen, wobei sich die Wertscheine mit ihren Vorder- und/oder Rückseiten flächig kontaktieren. Die Wertscheine werden hierbei mithilfe von Zuführ- und/oder Entnahmemodulen von der Kopfseite der Geldkassette dem Aufnahmebereich zugeführt und/oder entnommen. Hierbei werden neu zugeführte Wertscheine gegen die Stirnseite des in der Geldkassette bereits aufgenommenen Wertscheinstapels gedrückt.The notes of value received in cash cassettes are received in the cash cassettes in the form of a value note stack, with the notes of value contacting each other with their front and / or back sides. The notes of value are here supplied by means of supply and / or withdrawal modules from the head of the cashbox the receiving area and / or removed. In this case, newly supplied notes of value are pressed against the face of the value-note stack already received in the cash-box.
Um ein sicheres, zuverlässiges Ablegen der neu hinzuzuführenden Wertscheine zu ermöglichen, ist es notwendig, dass die bereits aufgenommenen Wertscheine in der gestapelten Form gehalten sind und nicht zueinander verrutscht oder umgekippt. Hierzu sind in bekannten Geldkassetten häufig Gegendruckeinheit vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe der bereits aufgenommene Wertscheinstapel entgegen der Ablagerichtung, in die neu zuzuführende Wertscheine zugeführt werden, vorgespannt ist, so dass der Wertscheinstapel stets von beiden Seiten unter einem erforderlichen Druck gehalten ist, so dass die Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels gebündelt zusammengehalten sind.In order to enable a secure, reliable depositing of the newly added notes of value, it is necessary that the notes already taken up are held in the stacked form and do not slip or tilt over one another. For this purpose, counter pressure unit are often provided in known cash boxes, with the aid of the already recorded value stack against the deposit direction are fed to the newly added notes of value is biased, so that the value note stack is always kept from both sides under a required pressure, so that the notes of value of the value note stack are bundled together.
Hierzu ist es notwendig, dass diese Gegendruckeinheit jeweils entsprechend der Menge an aufgenommenen Wertscheinen in die Ablagerichtung bzw. entgegen der Ablagerichtung bewegt wird. Eine bekannte Möglichkeit hierfür ist es, die Gegendruckeinheit mithilfe einer Antriebseinheit, beispielsweise eines Motors, entsprechend in die Ablagerichtung bzw. entgegen der Ablagerichtung zu verfahren. Nachteilig hieran ist, dass solche Konstruktionen aufwendig sind und eine entsprechende Ansteuerung bedürfen. Darüber hinaus benötigen solche über Antriebseinheiten bewegte Gegendruckeinheiten eine Vielzahl von Sensoren und Aktoren, um die notwendige Gegendruckkraft zuverlässig aufzubringen. Hierdurch ist die Herstellung kostenintensiv und aufwendig.For this purpose, it is necessary that this counter-pressure unit is moved in each case according to the amount of recorded notes in the storage direction or against the storage direction. A known possibility for this is to move the counter-pressure unit by means of a drive unit, for example a motor, according to the direction of deposit or against the direction of deposit. The disadvantage of this is that such structures are expensive and require appropriate control. Furthermore, such counter-pressure units moved by drive units require a large number of sensors and actuators in order to reliably apply the necessary counter-pressure force. As a result, the production is costly and expensive.
Darüber hinaus nimmt die durch den Wertscheinstapel auf die Gegendruckeinheit wirkende Kraft zu, je mehr Wertscheine der Wertscheinstapel umfasst. Wird durch die Antriebseinheit immer die gleiche Gegendruckkraft erzeugt, hat dies zur Folge, dass die Anpresskraft, gegen die neu zuzuführende Wertscheine dem Wertscheinstapel zugeführt werden, um so geringer ist, je mehr Wertscheine bereits in dem Aufnahmebereich aufgenommen sind.In addition, the force acting on the counterpressure unit by the value stack increases the more notes of value the value note stack comprises. Is by the drive unit always generates the same counter-pressure force, this has the consequence that the contact pressure, against the newly added notes of value are supplied to the value note stack, the lower, the more notes of value are already included in the receiving area.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist es, die Gegendruckeinheit über Druck oder Zugfedern an einem Bodenelement der Geldkassette zu befestigen, so dass die Gegendruckkraft über diese Zug- bzw. Druckfedern aufgebracht wird. Eine solche Geldkassette ist beispielsweise aus der deutschen Patentanmeldung 10

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Geldkassette und eine Gegendruckeinheit für Geldkassetten anzugeben, mit deren Hilfe ein zuverlässiges, sicheres Ablegen von Wertscheinen in der Geldkassette möglich ist.It is an object of the invention to provide a cashbox and a counter pressure unit for cash boxes, with their Help a reliable, safe deposit of notes in the cashbox is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Geldkassette mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und durch eine Gegendruckeinheit mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 15 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen Erfindungsgemäß umfasst das elastische Element eine Drehfeder, die an der Gegendruckeinheit angeordnet ist. Dies hat zum einen den Vorteil, dass die Gegendruckkraft rein passiv aufgebracht wird, d.h. dass weder eine Antriebseinheit noch Sensoren noch eine elektrische Ansteuerung notwendig ist. Somit wird ein besonders kostengünstiger, platzsparender und wartungsarmer Aufbau erreicht. Darüber hinaus hat eine solche Feder den Vorteil, dass die von ihr aufgebrachte Gegendruckkraft umso größer wird, je mehr Wertscheine der aufgenommene Wertscheinstapel umfasst, so dass das Ablegen der neu zugeführten Wertscheine immer entgegen der gleichen Kraft erfolgt, so dass ein besonders sicheres, zuverlässiges und gleichmäßiges Ablegen der Wertscheine in die Ablagerichtung gewährleistet ist.This object is achieved by a cash box having the features of claim 1 and by a counter-pressure unit having the features of claim 15. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the dependent claims According to the invention, the elastic element comprises a torsion spring, which is arranged on the counter-pressure unit. This has the advantage that the counter-pressure force is applied purely passive, ie that neither a drive unit nor sensors nor an electrical control is necessary. Thus, a particularly cost-effective, space-saving and low-maintenance construction is achieved. In addition, such a spring has the advantage that the counter-pressure force applied by it becomes greater, the more notes of value the recorded value note stack comprises, so that the depositing of the newly supplied notes of value always takes place counter to the same force, so that a particularly secure, reliable and reliable uniform storage of notes of value is ensured in the storage direction.
Gegenüber Druck- und Zugfedern hat das Vorsehen einer Drehfeder direkt an der Gegendruckeinheit den Vorteil, dass ein besonders kompakter und platzsparender Aufbau erreicht ist. Die Drehfeder wird hierbei immer zusammen mit der Gegendruckeinheit in die Ablagerichtung bzw. entgegen der Ablagerichtung bewegt und ist nicht, wie Druck- oder Zugfedern, nur mit einem Ende an der Gegendruckeinheit und mit dem anderen Ende an dem Gehäuse befestigt. Somit wird auch die Fehleranfälligkeit reduziert.Compared with compression and tension springs, the provision of a torsion spring directly on the counter-pressure unit has the advantage that a particularly compact and space-saving design is achieved. The torsion spring is always moved together with the counter-pressure unit in the storage direction or against the storage direction and is not, like compression or tension springs, fixed only at one end to the counter-pressure unit and with the other end to the housing. Thus, the error rate is reduced.
Die Geldkassette umfasst insbesondere eine Zuführeinheit, über die in einer Zuführrichtung der Geldkassette zugeführte Wertscheine in die Ablagerichtung dem Aufnahmebereich zugeführt werden. Hierbei kann insbesondere über die Zuführeinheit auch eine Umlenkung der Wertscheine von der Zuführrichtung in die eigentliche Ablagerichtung erfolgen. Die Zuführeinheit ist insbesondere in einem Kopfbereich der Geldkassette angeordnet. Die Gegendruckeinheit kann insbesondere im gesamten Aufnahmebereich, d.h. von der Zuführeinheit bis hin zu einem der Zuführeinheit entgegengesetzten Gehäuseteil eines Gehäuses der Geldkassette bewegt werden.The cash box comprises, in particular, a feed unit, via the notes of value supplied in a feed direction of the cash box in the depositing direction to the receiving area be supplied. In this case, in particular via the feed unit, a diversion of the notes of value from the feed direction into the actual depositing direction can take place. The feed unit is arranged in particular in a head region of the cashbox. The counterpressure unit can be moved, in particular, over the entire receiving area, ie, from the feed unit to a housing part of a housing of the cashbox opposite the feed unit.
Die Gegendruckeinheit weist vorzugsweise mindestens eine Aussparung auf, in der die Drehfeder zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise vollständig aufgenommen ist. Insbesondere hat die Gegendruckeinheit ein Gehäuse, das die Drehfeder zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise vollständig umgibt. Somit wird jeweils eine sicherere Lagerung der Drehfeder erreicht und vermieden, dass diese beim Bewegen der Gegendruckeinheit mit anderen Elementen der Geldkassette und/oder Wertscheine in Kontakt kommt. Hierdurch wird verhindert, dass die Drehfeder gestört werden könnte, so dass eine zuverlässige Funktionsweise der Gegendruckeinheit gewährleistet ist.The counter-pressure unit preferably has at least one recess in which the torsion spring is at least partially, preferably completely received. In particular, the counter-pressure unit has a housing which surrounds the torsion spring at least partially, preferably completely. Thus, in each case a safer storage of the torsion spring is achieved and avoided that it comes into contact with other elements of the cashbox and / or notes of value when moving the counter-pressure unit. This prevents that the torsion spring could be disturbed, so that a reliable operation of the counter-pressure unit is ensured.
Bei einer ganz besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Drehfeder allseitig von dem Gehäuse umschlossen, so dass sie durch das Gehäuse geschützt ist und somit keinen Umwelteinflüssen ausgesetzt ist.In a very particularly preferred embodiment, the torsion spring is surrounded on all sides by the housing, so that it is protected by the housing and thus is not exposed to environmental influences.
In dem Aufnahmebereich ist mindestens eine in Ablagerichtung verlaufende erste Zahnstange angeordnet. Die Gegendruckeinheit hat mindestens ein erstes Zahnrad, dessen Zahnung in die Zahnung der ersten Zahnstange eingreift und mit dessen Hilfe die Gegendruckeinheit an der ersten Zahnstange gelagert ist.In the receiving area, at least one extending in the storage direction first rack is arranged. The counterpressure unit has at least a first gear whose teeth engage in the toothing of the first rack and with the aid of which the counter-pressure unit is mounted on the first rack.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist in der Geldkassette mindestens eine zweite Zahnstange vorgesehen, wobei die Gegendruckeinheit ein zweites Zahnrad aufweist, das mit der Zahnung der zweiten Zahnstange und mit dem ersten Zahnrad kämmt. Somit wird gewährleistet, dass die Gegendruckeinheit zum einen zuverlässig an dem Gehäuse der Geldkassette gelagert ist, aber zum anderen auf einfache Weise in die Ablagerichtung und entgegen der Ablagerichtung bewegbar ist.In a particularly preferred embodiment, at least one second rack is provided in the cash box, wherein the counter-pressure unit has a second gear meshing with the teeth of the second rack and with the first gear. This ensures that the counter-pressure unit is reliably mounted on the housing of the cashbox for a reliable, but on the other hand in a simple manner in the storage direction and against the storage direction is movable.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist in dem Aufnahmebereich an der Seite, die der Seite, an der die erste Zahnstange angeordnet ist, gegenüberliegend ist, mindestens eine in Ablagerichtung verlaufende dritte Zahnstange angeordnet. Die Gegendruckeinheit umfasst mindestens ein drittes Zahnrad, dessen Zahnung in die Zahnung der dritten Zahnstange eingreift und mit dessen Hilfe die Gegendruckeinheit an der dritten Zahnstange gelagert ist.In a particularly preferred embodiment, in the receiving area on the side opposite to the side on which the first rack is arranged, at least one third rack running in the depositing direction is arranged. The counter-pressure unit comprises at least a third toothed wheel whose toothing engages in the toothing of the third toothed rack and with the aid of which the counterpressure unit is mounted on the third toothed rack.
Ferner können die Geldkassette eine vierte Zahnstange und die Gegendruckeinheit ein viertes Zahnrad aufweisen, wobei das vierte Zahnrad mit der Zahnung der vierten Zahnstange und mit dem dritten Zahnrad kämmt. Somit wird eine beidseitige Lagerung der Gegendruckeinheit an den beiden Seitenwänden der Geldkassette erreicht, so dass die Gegendruckeinheit gleichmäßig in die Ablagerichtung und entgegen der Ablagerichtung geführt ist und insbesondere ein Verkippen und/oder Verkanten vermieden wird. Durch das Kämmen des ersten Zahnrades mit dem zweiten Zahnrad und das Kämmen des dritten Zahnrades mit dem vierten Zahnrad wird insbesondere sichergestellt, dass die kämmenden Zahnräder gleichmäßig gedreht werden. Das zweite Zahnrad und das vierte Zahnrad sind insbesondere über eine Welle miteinander verbunden, wobei die beiden Zahnräder jeweils drehfest auf dieser Welle angeordnet sind. Somit sind alle vier Zahnräder miteinander in Eingriff, so dass diese gleichmäßig gedreht werden und somit die Gegendruckeinheit durch die Führung an den vier Zahnstangen in die Ablagerichtung und entgegen der Ablagerichtung bewegt wird, ohne dass sie sich hierbei verkippen und/oder verdrehen kann.Furthermore, the cash box may have a fourth rack and the counter-pressure unit a fourth gear, wherein the fourth gear meshes with the teeth of the fourth rack and with the third gear. Thus, a two-sided storage of the counter pressure unit on the two side walls reaches the cashbox, so that the counter-pressure unit is guided uniformly in the storage direction and against the storage direction and in particular a tilting and / or tilting is avoided. By combing the first gear with the second gear and the combing of the third gear with the fourth gear is particularly ensured that the meshing gears are rotated uniformly. The second gear and the fourth gear are in particular connected to each other via a shaft, wherein the two gears are each rotatably mounted on this shaft. Thus, all four gears are engaged with each other, so that they are rotated uniformly and thus the counter pressure unit is moved by the guide on the four racks in the storage direction and against the storage direction, without being able to tilt and / or twist here.
Die Drehfeder ist insbesondere derart mit dem ersten Zahnrad gekoppelt, dass die Drehfeder bei einer Drehung des ersten Zahnrades in eine erste Drehrichtung tordiert wird. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Drehfeder umso mehr tordiert wird, je mehr das erste Zahnrad gedreht wird und somit je mehr die Gegendruckeinheit in die Ablagerichtung bewegt wird. Somit nimmt die über die Drehfeder aufgebrachte Gegendruckkraft umso mehr zu, umso mehr Wertscheine in dem Aufnahmebereich aufgenommen sind, so dass die durch das Gewicht des Wertscheinstapels erzeugte Gewichtskraft ausgeglichen wird und die Kraft, die zum Zuführen eines neuen Wertscheines aufgebracht werden muss, unabhängig von der Anzahl der aufgenommenen Wertscheine immer in etwa gleich ist.The torsion spring is in particular so coupled to the first gear that the torsion spring is twisted in a first rotational direction upon rotation of the first gear. This ensures that the torsion spring is all the more twisted, the more the first gear is rotated and thus the more the counter-pressure unit is moved in the direction of deposit. Thus, the more counterprints are received in the receiving area, the more the amount of counterprints generated by the weight of the bill stack is compensated for, and the force that must be applied to supply a new bill, regardless of Number of recorded banknotes is always about the same.
Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Drehfeder derart mit dem ersten Zahnrad gekoppelt ist, dass die Drehfeder bei einer Drehung des ersten Zahnrades in eine der ersten Drehrichtung entgegengesetzte zweite Drehrichtung entspannt wird. Die zweite Drehrichtung ist hierbei insbesondere diejenige Drehrichtung, in die das Zahnrad gedreht wird, wenn sich die Gegendruckeinheit entgegen der Ablagerichtung bewegt. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass, wenn ein Wertschein dem Wertscheinstapel entnommen wird, über die durch die Drehfeder aufgebrachte Gegendruckkraft die Gegendruckeinheit entgegen der Ablagerichtung zurückbewegt wird und somit der Wertscheinstapel entgegen der Ablagerichtung angehoben wird, so dass jederzeit weitere Wertscheine entnommen oder mit der gleichen Kraft zugeführt werden können.It is particularly advantageous if the torsion spring is coupled to the first gear in such a way that the torsion spring is relaxed during a rotation of the first gear in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction. The second direction of rotation is in this case in particular that direction of rotation in which the gearwheel is rotated when the counterpressure unit moves counter to the depositing direction. This ensures that, when a bill of value is removed from the bill of stock, the counterpressure unit is moved back against the deposit direction over the force applied by the torsion spring and thus the bill of stock is raised against the deposit direction, so any time taken more notes of value or fed with the same force can be.
Die erste Drehrichtung des Zahnrades ist diejenige Drehrichtung, in die das Zahnrad gedreht wird, wenn ein Wertschein zugeführt wird. Beim Zuführen des Wertscheines wird der Wertschein gegen die Stirnseite des bereits aufgenommenen Wertscheinstapels gedrückt. Durch die hierbei aufgebrachte Kraft wird die Gegendruckeinheit in die Ablagerichtung entgegen der Rückstellkraft der Drehfeder bewegt, so dass der Wertschein dem Aufnahmebereich zuführbar ist. Über den Eingriff mit der ersten Zahnstange wird hierbei das Zahnrad in die erste Drehrichtung bewegt.The first rotational direction of the gear is the direction of rotation in which the gear is rotated when a bill of exchange is supplied. When feeding the note of value, the note is pressed against the front of the already recorded value note stack. As a result of the force applied in this case, the counter-pressure unit is moved counter to the restoring force of the torsion spring in the depositing direction, so that the value note can be fed to the receiving area. About the engagement with the first rack while the gear is moved in the first direction of rotation.
Das erste Zahnrad steht insbesondere derart mit der ersten Zahnstange in Eingriff, dass das erste Zahnrad beim Bewegen des Gegendruckelementes in die Ablagerichtung in die erste Drehrichtung und beim Bewegen entgegen der Ablagerichtung in die zweite Drehrichtung gedreht wird.In particular, the first gear is engaged with the first rack such that the first gear moves the counter-pressure element is rotated in the direction of deposition in the first direction of rotation and when moving counter to the direction of deposition in the second direction of rotation.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Drehfeder einen gewickelten Draht mit einem ersten Ende und einem zweiten Ende umfasst. Die Drehfeder stützt sich hierbei über das erste Ende an dem Gehäuse ab und ist über das zweite Ende derart mit dem ersten Zahnrad gekoppelt, dass das zweite Ende bei einer Drehung des ersten Zahnrades verdreht wird.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the torsion spring comprises a wound wire having a first end and a second end. The torsion spring is supported on the housing via the first end and is coupled to the first gear via the second end in such a way that the second end is rotated upon rotation of the first gear.
Das erste Zahnrad ist insbesondere drehfest auf einer Welle gelagert, wobei das zweite Ende des Drahtes an dieser Welle befestigt ist, so dass bei einem Drehen des ersten Zahnrades und somit einem Drehen der Welle das zweite Ende des Drahtes mitgedreht wird, so dass die Drehfeder entsprechend tordiert wird und somit die Gegendruckkraft erhöht wird. Somit ist ein besonders einfacher und dennoch zuverlässiger Aufbau gegeben.The first gear is in particular rotatably mounted on a shaft, wherein the second end of the wire is fixed to this shaft, so that upon rotation of the first gear and thus a rotation of the shaft, the second end of the wire is rotated, so that the torsion spring accordingly is twisted and thus the counter-pressure force is increased. Thus, a particularly simple and yet reliable construction is given.
Die Welle weist insbesondere ein Loch auf, in das das zweite Ende des Drahtes hineingesteckt ist. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Montage der Gegendruckeinheit.In particular, the shaft has a hole into which the second end of the wire is inserted. This allows a particularly simple installation of the counter-pressure unit.
Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann auch das dritte Zahnrad derart mit der Drehfeder gekoppelt sein, dass bei einem Drehen des dritten Zahnrades in diejenige Richtung, in die das dritte Zahnrad beim Zuführen von Wertscheinen, d.h. beim Bewegen der Gegendruckeinheit in die Ablagerichtung gedreht wird, die Drehfeder ebenfalls tordiert wird und somit die Gegendruckkraft erhöht wird.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the third gear may be coupled to the torsion spring such that upon rotation of the third gear in the Direction in which the third gear when supplying notes of value, that is rotated when moving the counter-pressure unit in the storage direction, the torsion spring is also twisted and thus the counter-pressure force is increased.
Bei einer weiteren alternativen Ausführungsform ist es auch möglich, dass mehrere Drehfedern vorgesehen sind, wobei die Drehfedern jeweils mit einem der Zahnräder gekoppelt sind.In a further alternative embodiment, it is also possible that a plurality of torsion springs are provided, wherein the torsion springs are each coupled to one of the gears.
Es wird insbesondere eine Drehfeder verwendet, deren Kennlinie derart ausgebildet ist, dass die Zunahme der aufgebrachten Gegendruckkraft durch das Zuführen eines Wertscheins in etwa der Gewichtskraft dieses Wertscheins entspricht, so dass die Kraft, die zum Zuführen weiterer Wertscheine zu dem Aufnahmebereich aufgebracht werden muss, immer in etwa dieselbe Kraft ist. Hiermit muss die Zuführeinheit die neu zuzuführenden Wertscheine immer mit der gleichen Kraft gegen die Stirnseite des Wertscheinstapels drücken.In particular, a torsion spring is used, the characteristic of which is such that the increase of the applied counterpressure force by supplying a bill of exchange approximately corresponds to the weight of this bill of exchange, so that the force which must be applied for supplying further banknotes to the receiving area always is about the same force. This means that the feeder unit must always press the new banknotes to be delivered against the front of the banknote stack with the same force.
Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Gegendruckeinheit für Geldkassetten, die ein elastisches Element zum Vorspannen der Gegendruckeinheit entgegen einer Ablagerichtung zum Erzeugen einer Gegendruckkraft, wenn die Gegendruckeinheit in einer Geldkassette eingesetzt ist, aufweist. Das elastische Element umfasst mindestens eine an der Gegendruckeinheit angeordnete Drehfeder.Another aspect of the invention relates to a counter-pressure unit for cash boxes, comprising an elastic member for biasing the counter-pressure unit against a depositing direction for generating a counter-pressure force when the counter-pressure unit is inserted in a cash box. The elastic element comprises at least one arranged on the counter-pressure unit torsion spring.
Die Gegendruckeinheit kann insbesondere mit den zuvor im Zusammenhang mit der Gegendruckeinheit der Geldkassette beschriebenen Merkmale weitergebildet werden.The counterpressure unit can in particular be further developed with the features previously described in connection with the counterpressure unit of the cashbox.

Die Geldkassette 10 umfasst eine Zuführeinheit 14, über die maschinell der Geldkassette 10 zugeführte Wertscheine einem Aufnahmebereich 16 der Geldkassette 10 zur Aufnahme eines Wertscheinstapels zugeführt werden können. Die rein schematisch dargestellte Zuführeinheit 14 ist hierbei derart ausgebildet, dass sie die Wertscheine in eine Ablagerichtung P1 in den Aufnahmebereich 16 bewegt, wobei die Wertscheine hierbei mit ihrer Vorder- oder Rückseite voraus in den Aufnahmebereich 16 bewegt werden, so dass die Wertscheine bei einer betriebsmäßigen Anordnung der Geldkassette 10, wie diese in
In dem Aufnahmebereich 16 ist eine Gegendruckeinheit 100 vorgesehen, wobei der in dem Aufnahmebereich 16 aufgenommene Wertscheinstapel in dem Bereich zwischen dieser Gegendruckeinheit 100 und der Zuführeinheit 14 aufgenommen ist. Durch die Gegendruckeinheit 100 wird, wie im Folgenden noch näher beschrieben wird, eine entgegen der Ablagerichtung P1 gerichtete Gegendruckkraft auf den Wertscheinstapel ausgeübt. Die Zuführeinheit 14 übt dagegen eine in die Ablagerichtung gerichtete Zuführkraft auf die neu zugeführten Wertscheine und somit den Wertscheinstapel aus, so dass die Gegendruckeinheit 100 beim Zuführen von Wertscheinen entgegen der durch ihr aufgebrachten Gegendruckkraft umso weiter in die Ablagerichtung P1 bewegt wird, je mehr Wertscheine in dem Aufnahmebereich 16 aufgenommen sind.A
Somit wird durch die durch die Gegendruckeinheit 100 aufgebrachte Gegendruckkraft erreicht, dass die Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels immer durch einem vorbestimmten Anpressdruck zusammengehalten sind und somit ein Verrutschen der Wertscheine gegeneinander und/oder ein Verkippen der Wertscheine vermieden wird. Somit wird sichergestellt, dass neu zuzuführende Wertscheine über die Zuführeinheit 14 sicher zugeführt werden können.Thus, it is achieved by the counter-pressure force applied by the

Die Gegendruckeinheit 100 ist in
Die Geldkassette 100 umfasst eine erste Zahnstange 20, eine zweite Zahnstange 22, eine dritte Zahnstange 24 und eine vierte Zahnstange 26, die parallel zueinander verlaufen. Hierbei sind die Zahnstangen 20 bis 26 alle in die Ablagerichtung P1 gerichtet. Das erste Zahnrad 102 ist mit der ersten Zahnstange 20, das zweite Zahnrad 104 mit der zweiten Zahnstange 22, das dritte Zahnrad 106 mit der dritten Zahnstange 24 und das vierte Zahnrad 108 mit der vierten Zahnstange 26 in Eingriff. Das zweite Zahnrad 104 und das vierte Zahnrad 108 sind jeweils drehfest auf einer gemeinsamen Welle 110 (
Die Gegendruckeinheit 100 umfasst ein Gehäuse 112, das ein erstes Gehäuseteil 114 und ein zweites Gehäuseteil 116 hat. In
In dem Gehäuse 112 ist eine Drehfeder 118 angeordnet, die einen gewickelten Draht 120 mit einem ersten Ende 122 und einem zweiten Ende 124 aufweist. Hierbei stützt sich die Drehfeder 118 mit ihrem ersten Ende 122 an dem Gehäuse 112 ab, so dass dieses erste Ende 122 der Drehfeder 118 drehfest relativ zum Gehäuse 112 gelagert ist.In the
Das erste Zahnrad 102 ist drehfest auf einer Welle 130 gelagert, so dass die Welle 130 bei einer Drehung des Zahnrades 104 entsprechend mitgedreht wird. Das zweite Ende 124 der Drehfeder 120 ist ebenfalls an der Welle 130 befestigt, indem es in ein Loch 132 der Welle 130 eingesteckt ist. In
Wird nun ein Wertschein durch die Zuführeinheit 100 in die Ablagerichtung P1 dem bereits in dem Aufnahmebereich 16 aufgenommenen Wertscheinstapel zugeführt, so wird dieser mit einer Zuführkraft gegen den der Zuführeinheit 14 zugewandten Wertschein an der Stirnseite des Wertscheinstapels gedrückt. Hierdurch wird die auf die Gegendruckeinheit 100 ausgeübte Kraft erhöht, so dass diese ebenfalls in die Ablagerichtung P1 bewegt wird. Durch den Eingriff des ersten Zahnrades 102 in die erste Zahnstange 20 bzw. den Eingriff der anderen Zahnräder 104 bis 108 in die anderen Zahnstangen 22 bis 26 und den Eingriff der Zahnräder 102 bis 108 untereinander, wird das erste Zahnrad 102 in eine erste Drehrichtung P2 gedreht. Somit wird auch die Welle 130 in die zweite Drehrichtung P2 gedreht, so dass die Drehfeder 118 tordiert wird. Durch diese Torsion der Drehfeder 118 wird die für das sichere Ablegen der Wertscheine in dem Aufnahmebereich 16 benötigte Gegendruckkraft aufgebracht.Now, if a bill of exchange is fed by the
Je mehr Wertscheine bereits in dem Aufnahmebereich 16 aufgenommen sind, umso größer ist die Gewichtskraft, die durch den Wertscheinstapel auf die Gegendruckeinheit 100 ausgeübt wird. Umgekehrt ist aber auch die Drehfeder 118 umso mehr tordiert, je mehr Wertscheine in dem Aufnahmebereich 16 aufgenommen sind, da die Gegendruckeinheit 100 entsprechend weiter in die Ablagerichtung P1 bewegt ist. Somit ist auch die aufgebrachte Gegendruckkraft umso größer, je mehr Wertscheine der aufgenommene Wertscheinstapel umfasst. Die Kennlinie der Drehfeder 118 ist insbesondere derart gewählt, dass die durch das Zuführen neuer Wertscheine zusätzlich einwirkende Gewichtskraft durch die entsprechend größere Gegendruckkraft aufgrund der weiteren Tordierung der Drehfeder 118 in etwa ausgeglichen wird, so dass die von der Zuführeinheit 14 aufzubringende Zuführkraft unabhängig von der Anzahl der bereits aufgenommenen Wertscheine in etwa gleich ist.The more notes of value already received in the receiving
Ferner hat die zuvor beschriebene Ausführungsform mit einer Drehfeder 118 den Vorteil, dass die Gegendruckkraft rein passiv aufgebracht wird, d.h. dass keine Antriebseinheit zum Bewegen der Gegendruckeinheit 100 notwendig ist. Das Bewegen der Gegendruckeinheit 100 in die Ablagerichtung P1 erfolgt ausschließlich über die durch die Zuführeinheit 14 aufgebrachte Kraft, das Bewegen entgegen der Zuführrichtung P1 durch die über die Drehfeder 118 aufgebrachte Gegendruckkraft, sofern Wertscheine entnommen werden und somit die auf die Gegendruckeinheit 100 wirkende Kraft reduziert wird.Furthermore, the previously described embodiment with a
Da die Drehfeder 118 vollständig in dem Gehäuse 116 aufgenommen ist, ist sichergestellt, dass sie nicht mit anderen Bauteilen der Geldkassette 100 oder mit den Wertscheinen in Kontakt kommt, so dass ein besonders einfacher, platzsparender und zuverlässiger Aufbau gegeben ist.Since the
Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung können auch mehr als eine Drehfeder 118 vorgesehen sein. Insbesondere können zwei Drehfedern 118 vorgesehen sein, wobei die eine Drehfeder 118 mit dem ersten Zahnrad 102 und die andere Drehfeder 118 mit dem dritten Zahnrad 106 verbunden ist.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, more than one
