Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sensor device in a banknote processing machine.
  • banknotes can be evaluated with regard to a wide variety of criteria in order to determine certain properties of the banknotes to be processed. These properties concern the currency, banknote value, authenticity, banknote quality, banknote status, etc.
  • the evaluation is based on data generated during the processing of the respective banknote in the banknote processing machine. These data are obtained due to various physical characteristics of the banknotes. During processing, these physical characteristics of the respective banknote are measured by means of different sensors in order to generate the data for the evaluation. In particular, sensors are used which generate image data.
  • Such sensors can be formed, for example, by line scan cameras which generate image data in different spectral ranges, which can range from infrared over the visible range to the ultraviolet range, while the respective banknote is moved past the sensor by a transport device.
  • other sensors such as mechanical sensors or ultrasonic sensors for checking banknotes in banknote processing machines.
  • the data of the sensors are processed in a connected evaluation unit.
  • the mentioned properties of the banknotes such as type (currency, denomination), authenticity, quality, condition, etc. are determined by algorithms from the data of one or more sensors, and the banknotes can be sorted according to the determined properties, for example.
  • the housings have an area which is transparent to the sensor respectively contained in the housing and faces the transporting device in such a way that the banknotes transported past by the transporting device can be detected as described above.
  • the transparent region can be formed, for example, by a window made of glass, which is permeable to the spectral range used by the sensor.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a sensor device in a banknote processing machine, in which a new contamination of the sensors during cleaning of the sensor device is avoided.
  • the invention is based on a banknote processing machine with a sensor device, a transport device which conveys banknotes to be processed past the sensor device, a cleaning device which cleans the sensor device or a transparent region of the sensor device, and a control device controlling the components of the banknote processing machine for increasing a distance between the transport device and the sensor device, wherein the control device controls the means and the cleaning device such that the distance between the transport device and the sensor device is increased by the means during the cleaning of the sensor device by the cleaning device, wherein no Bank notes are transported past the sensor device, but the transport device is active and the cleaning device for cleaning the Sens or Marie generates a gas flow along the sensor device or the transparent region.
  • the advantage of the invention is to be seen in particular in that a new contamination is prevented by the fact that during cleaning no dirt from the sensor device obvious parts of the transport device, in particular moving parts, can be solved.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a banknote processing machine.
  • the bank-note processing machine 1 has an input tray 5 for banknotes BN to be processed.
  • An input / output device 40 is provided for the operation of the banknote processing machine 1 by an operator.
  • the input / output device 40 may be formed by a keyboard and a display or a touch screen. All components of the banknote processing machine 1 are controlled by a control device 50, the z. B. is formed by at least one microcomputer.
  • Banknotes BN input into the input pocket 5 of the banknote processing machine 1 are detected individually by a singler 8 and transferred to a transporting device 10, which transports the individual banknote BN past a sensor device 20.
  • a transporting device 10 transports the individual banknote BN past a sensor device 20.
  • one or more sensors 21 of the sensor device 20 detect the banknote BN and generate the banknote BN characterizing data.
  • the sensor device 20 may include sensors 21 that generate image data.
  • Such sensors 21 may, for example, be formed by line scan cameras which generate image data in one or more spectral regions which may range from infrared over the visible to ultraviolet regions.
  • other sensors 21 such as mechanical or magnetic sensors or ultrasonic sensors for checking banknotes may be present.
  • the data acquired by the sensor device 20 are transmitted to the control device 50.
  • the control device 50 or an additionally existing evaluation unit, which may be contained in the control device 50, or is controlled by the control device 50 the data of the sensor device 20 are processed and evaluated.
  • properties of the banknote processed in each case such as type (currency, denomination), authenticity, quality, state, etc., are determined by algorithms that are made available as software from the data of one or more sensors 21.
  • the type, authenticity, quality, condition, etc. determined by the evaluation unit are made available to the control device 50.
  • banknotes BN that have been recognized as genuine can be stored in the first output bin 30, while banknotes BN classified as being unreal or suspected of being forged are deposited in the second output bin 31.
  • the control device 50 actuates a first or second diverter 11 or 12 of the transport device 10.
  • further output compartments can be provided.
  • other means for storing or destroying banknotes may be provided, e.g.
  • banknote BN As cassettes in which the banknotes can be stored protected against access, or a shredder. If a banknote BN could not be recognized, it is transported, under the control of the control device 50, into one or more special output compartments, in order to separate these banknotes, e.g. B. by the operator to edit.
  • FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of a sensor device in a first perspective.
  • the sensor device 20 comprises a sensor 21, and a housing 22 protecting the sensor 21 from contamination.
  • the housing 22 has a region 23 transparent to the sensor 21, which is arranged in the direction of the transport device 10 such that banknotes are in the transport direction T be transported past the sensor 21, can be detected by the sensor 21.
  • the sensor 21 may be, for example, an optical sensor, in particular a line scan camera.
  • the transparent region 23 can be formed, for example, by a window made of glass, which is permeable to the spectral range detectable by the sensor 21.
  • a cleaning device 25 is provided for cleaning the sensor device 20 or the transparent region 23, .
  • the cleaning device 25 generates a gas flow along the sensor device 20 or the transparent region 23 in order to remove dirt present there, in particular dust.
  • the cleaning device 25 can be formed for example by a compressed air reservoir with a valve.
  • the transport device 10 is formed in the illustrated embodiment by belts 15 which are guided by rollers or rollers 16.
  • the rollers 16 may also be driven to move the belts 15 in the transporting direction T. How out FIG. 3 More clearly, a plurality of belts 15, for example three, are arranged side by side so that the banknotes to be transported are clamped and transported between the belts 15 or between the belts 15 and other belts or baffles.
  • the belts 15 may be designed as flat or round belts or with any other cross section. The arrangement and number of belts 15 results from the size of the banknotes to be transported and the transport mode, ie whether the banknotes are transported parallel to their long edges or parallel to their short edges.
  • the sensor device 20 and the transparent region 23 is cleaned by means of the cleaning device 25.
  • a gas flow 25 ' is generated by means of the cleaning device 25, which cleans the sensor device 20 or the transparent region 23.
  • the control device 50 actuates means 17, 18, 19 which increase the distance between the sensor device 20 or the transparent region 23 and the transport device 10 or the belt 15.
  • a solenoid 17 moves a plunger 18 to which is attached a guide 19 which moves the belts 15 in a direction away from the sensor device 20 to a position of the belts 15 'at a greater distance.
  • a predetermined period of time which determines the inertia of the means 17, 18,19 and by the means 17, 18, 19 belt 15 taken into account.
  • a corresponding period of time can be entered, for example, by an operator by means of the input / output device 40 and stored in the control device 50.
  • the guide 19 can be carried out so that it detects all the belt 15 simultaneously and moves away from the sensor device 20.
  • the guide 19 may for example be made of sheet metal and have a runner-shaped profile, wherein the coming into contact with the belt 15 surface may be polished or otherwise tempered, so that the lowest possible friction upon contact with the belt 15 is formed.
  • the guide 19 is made of a hardened material, so that the wear is low.
  • the increase in the distance between the sensor device 20 and the transport device 10 is achieved by a displacement of the transport device 10 or parts of the transport device 10.
  • the displacement of the transport device 10 away from the sensor device 20 is preferred since the sensor device 20 usually has to be adjusted exactly in the bank-note processing machine 1, whereby the outlay for a movable sensor device 20 is increased.
  • banknote processing machine The function of the banknote processing machine described has been explained with reference to the processing of banknotes. It is obvious that with the banknote processing machine other banknotes other securities can be processed, for. As checks, vouchers, vouchers, etc.
