Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for handling notes of value, which comprises a transport unit for transporting a bundle of notes, according to claim 1.
- This transport unit comprises a belt which can be driven with the aid of a drive unit.
- the device for handling notes of value is an ATM, an automatic cash register system and / or an automatic safe cash register.
- the notes of value removed from cash boxes are first stacked in a stacking unit to form a bundle of notes.
- This bundle of banknotes is then transported with the aid of the transport unit to an output compartment for issuing the banknotes to the operator. If the operator does not remove the notes of value, the bundle of notes is transported back from the output compartment into a so-called retract container.
- the bundles of banknotes are transported via belt arrangements on both sides, so that the bundle of banknotes is arranged between two belts while it is being transported.
- the bundles of banknotes can also be transported between pairs of rollers and / or a combination of a one-sided roller arrangement and a one-sided belt arrangement, see for example the document U.S. 4,482,057 A . It can also be transported between a one-sided belt arrangement and fixed plastic elements take place, wherein the bundle of notes is pushed in the transport direction in particular with the aid of a pressure plate.
- a transport unit which comprises a transport trolley in which the bundle of banknotes is received for transport.
- This trolley has a housing and a clamping element, the bundle of banknotes being clamped between the housing and the clamping element during transport.
- the transport trolley has a drive unit with the aid of which it can be moved along different paths within the ATM.
- the problem with this transport unit is that it has a complex construction.
- the document US 8146804 B2 describes an ATM and a transport unit which has a receiving compartment fastened to a belt for receiving the bundle of banknotes.
- the problem with this device is that here too the notes of value of the bundle of notes can easily slip relative to one another and thus disturbances can occur.
- the document JP S5972592 A describes a device for handling a bundle of banknotes, in which, for transporting the bundle of banknotes, it is arranged between a driven belt and a pivotable clamping unit.
- document US 2005/0029338 A1 discloses a device for depositing notes of value, in which at least one circumferential belt has a plurality of fingers arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction, which with the belt form receiving pockets for notes of value.
- a plurality of banknote stores are provided, each of which is assigned a stripping element which is arranged between the store and the belt.
- the belt and / or the corresponding stripping element can be adjusted relative to one another in such a way that the stripping element protrudes into a path of a note of value moved with the belt.
- document JP 2007 326660 A discloses a sheet transport and stacking device having a circumferential belt with gripping members attached to that belt.
- the gripping elements can be moved from a closed to an open position with the aid of triggering means.
- the transport unit comprises a clamping unit which has a clamping element which can be pivoted about an axis of rotation. In a first position, this clamping element is arranged in such a way that a bundle of banknotes can be fed into and / or removed from a receiving area located between the clamping element and the belt. In a second position, however, the clamping element is arranged in such a way that a bundle of banknotes received in this receiving area is clamped between the belt and the clamping element.
- a bundle of banknotes can be safely and easily fed to the receiving area.
- the clamping element is arranged in the second position, secure transport of the bundle of notes is ensured.
- the bundle of banknotes is clamped on both sides via the clamping element and the belt, so that the bundle of banknotes is not fanned apart by the applied pressure force, ie the banknotes are prevented from slipping relative to one another.
- a bundle of banknotes after it has been offered for removal in the output compartment, can be reliably clamped again in the event of non-removal and thus securely to the retract area be transported back.
- the bundle of banknotes can also remain clamped while being presented via the output compartment. This has the advantage that it cannot fall out unintentionally.
- the clamping unit is in particular attached to the belt so that it is moved together with the belt.
- the clamping unit can also be moved via a separate drive unit, preferably a driven toothed belt.
- the belt and the clamping unit are moved in particular at the same speed, so that the clamping of the bundle of notes between the belt and the clamping unit is ensured.
- the clamping element is designed and supported in particular in such a way that in the second position it is pivoted relative to the first position by a preset angle about the axis of rotation.
- This angle has, for example, a value in the range between 5 ° and 20 °, preferably between 6 ° and 10 °.
- the clamping element is pretensioned in the second position with the aid of at least one elastic element and can be pivoted from the second to the first position against a restoring force of this elastic element.
- pretensioning in the position in which the bundle of banknotes is jammed is, it is ensured that during the transport of the bundle of banknotes it is reliably and securely clamped and thus prevents the banknotes of the bundle of banknotes from slipping.
- the clamping element can also be pretensioned in the first position via an elastic element. In this case, the clamping element has to be actively moved from the first to the second position in order to clamp the bundle of notes and be held in this second position during the transport of the bundle of notes.
- the elastic element is designed in particular in the form of at least one spring, for example a torsion spring.
- a silicone block or a block made from another elastic element can also be used as the elastic element. A particularly simple structure is thus achieved.
- the clamping unit comprises in particular a base element which is fixedly fastened to the belt and on which the clamping element of the clamping unit is in turn arranged such that it can pivot about the axis of rotation.
- Fixed attachment is understood in particular to mean that this base element cannot be moved relative to the belt. As a result, when the belt is driven, the clamping unit is also moved, so that a bundle of banknotes received in the clamping unit can be transported in a simple manner.
- the belt is in particular designed as an endless belt that is guided around at least two deflection elements. At least one of these deflection elements is driven with the aid of the drive unit, so that too the belt can be driven accordingly.
- the deflecting elements can in particular be rollers, and the drive unit can in particular be a motor.
- the endless belt is divided into a first and a second partial area running parallel to the first partial area due to the guidance via the two deflecting elements.
- the base element is in particular fastened to a first partial area, the clamping element clamping the bundle of notes received in the receiving area between the clamping element and the second partial area when it is arranged in the second position.
- the base element can also be attached to a separate toothed belt.
- the toothed belt can be driven with the aid of a drive unit so that the clamping unit can be moved accordingly.
- the drive unit can be either the same drive unit with which the belt can be driven or a further, separate drive unit.
- the toothed belt preferably runs approximately parallel to the belt and is in particular attached to an end area of the base element.
- the clamping unit is designed in such a way that a first banknote arranged on a first end face of the bundle of banknotes has the clamping element and one on one opposite the first end face Second face arranged second note of value contacted the second portion of the belt when the clamping element is arranged in the second position.
- At least one roller rotatable relative to the clamping element about its longitudinal axis is arranged on the clamping element, over which the bundle of notes is guided when being fed to the receiving area and / or when being removed from the receiving area.
- several rollers arranged one behind the other are provided so that the bundle of banknotes can slide on them and thus the frictional force between the banknotes arranged on the side of the bundle of banknotes facing the clamping element and the clamping element is reduced, so that the banknotes of the bundle of banknotes do not slip relative to one another.
- the bundle of banknotes can be transported from a first transfer area to a second transfer area with the aid of the transport unit and if an adjustment unit for adjusting the clamping element from the second to the first position is provided in the first transfer area and / or in the second transfer area, if the clamping unit is arranged in the respective transfer area is provided. It is thus achieved that when the clamping unit is moved into one of the transfer areas, the clamping element prestressed in the second position via the elastic element is automatically moved into the first position via the adjustment unit against the restoring force of the elastic element. This ensures that the bundle of notes is in the receiving area can be fed when the clamping unit is arranged in the transfer area.
- the adjustment unit can in particular comprise a ramp which, when the clamping unit is moved into the corresponding transfer area, makes contact with the clamping element and, via this contact, rotates around the axis of rotation from the second to the first position.
- a particularly simple and compact construction is thus achieved and it is nevertheless ensured that the clamping unit is arranged in the transfer area in the first position.
- the clamping element comprises a first contact area for contacting the bundle of notes and a second contact area for contacting the ramp.
- the two contact areas are arranged on opposite sides of the clamping element in relation to the axis of rotation of the clamping element.
- a roller for contacting the ramp is provided in particular. This avoids tilting the clamping element with the ramp when moving the clamping unit into the transfer area and ensures that the device can move easily.
- the clamping unit has in particular a further clamping element which also clamps the bundle of notes together with the further belt.
- the two clamping elements are designed in particular to be identical.
- the two clamping elements are also preferably attached to the same basic unit of the clamping unit, the basic unit being attached in particular to both straps. Overall, therefore, particularly secure reception of the bundle of notes and particularly reliable transport are achieved.
- FIG 1 is a schematic representation of a device 10 for handling bank notes.
- the device 10 comprises a safe 12 in which four money cassettes 14 to 20 are accommodated.
- notes of value are removed from the money cassette 14 to 20 and fed along a transport path 22 to a stacking unit 24 in which they are stacked to form a bundle of notes.
- the notes of value lie against one another, in particular with their front and / or back sides.
- the bundle of banknotes is then fed to an input and / or output compartment 28 with the aid of a transport unit 26 and presented to the operator via this. If the operator does not remove the bundle of notes from the input and / or output compartment 28, it is transported back again via the transport unit 26 and fed to a so-called retract cassette 30, for example.
- the device 10 is an automated teller machine, an automatic cash register system and / or an automatic safe cash register. In an alternative embodiment, more or fewer than four money cassettes 14 to 20 can also be provided.
- the entire device 10 can also be designed as a safe. In this case, accordingly, no partition is provided between the safe 12 and the head module.
- the transport unit 26 comprises an endless belt 36 guided over two rollers 32, 34. At least one roller 32, 34 can be driven via a drive unit, for example a motor, so that the belt 36 can also be driven accordingly.
- a drive unit for example a motor
- a clamping unit 38 is attached to the belt 36.
- This has a base element 40 which is fixedly attached to the sub-area of the belt 36 located above the two rollers 32, 34.
- a clamping element 44 is in turn arranged on the base element 40 so that it can pivot about an axis of rotation 42.
- this clamping element 44 is shown in a first position. In Figure 3 however, the clamping element 44 is shown in a second position in which it is a preset angle is pivoted relative to the first position about the axis of rotation 42.
- the clamping element 44 When the clamping element 44 is arranged in the second position, it clamps a bundle of banknotes (not shown) between the clamping element and the lower part of the belt 36 so that it is securely received in a receiving area formed between the clamping element 44 and the belt 36 and thus can be reliably transported.
- the clamping element 44 is in the first position, as in FIG Figure 2 shown, arranged, so the distance to the belt 36 is so great that the bundle of notes is not jammed.
- the bundle of banknotes is raised in the direction of the belt 36 via an element (not shown), in particular so far that the bundle of banknotes is pressed against the belt 36, so that the belt 36 is slightly deformed.
- the clamping unit 38 is then moved in the direction of the bundle of banknotes so that it is received and clamped in the receiving area 46.
- the clamping element 44 is arranged in the second position, so that safe transport is achieved.
- the clamping between the clamping element 44 and the belt 36 ensures in particular that the notes of value of the bundle of notes cannot slip relative to one another and thus reliable transport is possible and jams of notes or other disturbances are avoided.
- the clamping element 44 is held in the second position in particular by means of at least one elastic element, so that it is ensured that it is arranged in this second position during transport and thus the wedging of the bundle of banknotes is guaranteed.
- the elastic element is in particular a torsion spring 48 ( Figure 4 ).
- an adjustment unit 50 is provided, via which the clamping element 44 moves from the second to the first against the restoring force of the elastic element 48 Position is moved when the clamping unit 38 is moved into this transfer area.
- the adjustment unit 50 has a ramp 52 on which a roller 54 of the clamping element 44 runs when the clamping unit 38 is moved in the direction of the arrow P1 into the transfer area.
- the clamping element 44 is rotated about the axis of rotation 42 in accordance with the arrow P2 and thus moved from the second to the first position.
- the transfer area is in particular that area in which the bundle of banknotes is fed from the stacking unit 24 to the transport unit 26.
- the transfer area can also be the area in which the Bundle of notes is transferred between the transport unit 26 and the input and / or output compartment 28.
- the transfer area can also be a feed area to the retract cassette 30.
- rollers 56 are provided on the clamping element 44, these rollers 56 being mounted in particular so as to be rotatable about their longitudinal axis.
- the rollers 56 contact the note arranged on the front side of the bundle of notes, so that the bundle of notes can be safely and easily fed and removed with the least possible frictional forces and the notes of notes of the bundle of notes cannot slip relative to one another when they are fed and / or removed.
- Figure 6 shows a sectional illustration of the clamping unit 38 arranged in the first position.
- Figure 7 shows a schematic, perspective illustration of the clamping unit 38 arranged in the second position and a bundle of banknotes 58 clamped in it.
- Two clamping elements 44 are arranged on the base element 40.
- the two clamping elements 44 and the units attached to them are in particular structurally identical and mirror-symmetrical to a center plane of the clamping unit 38, which is why in the Figures 4 to 7 for both clamping elements 44 and the other corresponding elements have been given the same reference numerals.
- the transport unit 26 has, in particular, two belts 36, 60 that run parallel to one another, the base element 40 being fixedly attached to both belts 36, 60.
- the one clamping element 44 clamps the bundle of banknotes together with one belt 60 and the other clamping element 44 together with the other belt 36 when the two clamping elements 44 are each arranged in the second position.
- the bundle of banknotes 58 is in this case clamped in at two points via the two clamping elements 44 and the two straps 36, 60, so that the banknotes of the bundle of banknotes 58 are reliably prevented from slipping.
- the ramp 52 has, as in Figure 6 shown, a region 62 rising in the feed direction P1 and a flat region 64 which is arranged downstream of the region 62 as seen in the feed direction P1.
- the clamping unit 38 When the clamping unit 38 is moved into the transfer position, ie when moving in the feed direction P1, the clamping element 44 with its roller 54 first contacts the rising area 62 and is thus pivoted from the second to the first position. The roller 54 then runs on the flat area 64 so that the clamping element 44 is held in the first position without any further pivoting. What is achieved hereby in particular is that the clamping element 44 is reliably arranged in the first position in the transfer area without a completely in the feed direction P1 exact positioning must take place. Likewise, in contrast to the rising area 62, no forces directed against the feed direction P1 are exerted on the clamping unit 38 via the flat area 64.
- FIG 8 is a schematic, perspective illustration of a section of a transport unit 26 according to a second embodiment.
- This second embodiment differs from that in FIGS Figures 2 to 7 shown embodiment in that the clamping unit 38 is not attached to the straps 36, 60. Instead, a toothed belt 70 is provided, which is connected to the clamping unit 38 in an edge area and can be driven via a drive unit (not shown). The clamping unit 38 is thus moved independently of the belts 36, 60 via the toothed belt 70.
- At least two toothed belts 70 can also be provided for moving the clamping unit 38.
- the two toothed belts 70 are then fastened to the clamping unit 38 in particular at opposite edge regions of the latter.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen, die eine Transporteinheit zum Transport eines Wertscheinbündels umfasst, gemäß Anspruch 1 Diese Transporteinheit umfasst einen Riemen, der mithilfe einer Antriebseinheit antreibbar ist.The invention relates to a device for handling notes of value, which comprises a transport unit for transporting a bundle of notes, according to claim 1. This transport unit comprises a belt which can be driven with the aid of a drive unit.
Bei der Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen handelt es sich um einen Geldautomaten, ein automatisches Kassensystem und/oder eine automatische Tresorkasse. In diesen Vorrichtungen werden die aus Geldkassetten entnommenen Wertscheine zunächst in einer Stapeleinheit zu einem Wertscheinbündel gestapelt. Anschließend wird dieses Wertscheinbündel mithilfe der Transporteinheit zu einem Ausgabefach zur Ausgabe der Wertscheine an die Bedienperson transportiert. Sofern die Bedienperson die Wertscheine nicht entnimmt, wird das Wertscheinbündel wieder zurück von dem Ausgabefach in einen sogenannten Retractbehälter transportiert.The device for handling notes of value is an ATM, an automatic cash register system and / or an automatic safe cash register. In these devices, the notes of value removed from cash boxes are first stacked in a stacking unit to form a bundle of notes. This bundle of banknotes is then transported with the aid of the transport unit to an output compartment for issuing the banknotes to the operator. If the operator does not remove the notes of value, the bundle of notes is transported back from the output compartment into a so-called retract container.
Bei den meisten bekannten Vorrichtung erfolgt der Transport der Wertscheinbündel über beidseitige Riemenanordnungen, so dass das Wertscheinbündel zwischen zwei Riemen angeordnet ist, während es transportiert wird. Alternativ können die Wertscheinbündel auch zwischen Rollenpaaren und/oder einer Kombination aus einer einseitigen Rollanordnung und einer einseitigen Riemenanordnung transportiert werden, siehe z.B. das Dokument
Problematisch an diesen Transporteinheiten ist es, dass Wertscheine des Wertscheinbündels leicht relativ zueinander verrutschen können, so dass kein geordnetes Wertscheinbündel mehr vorliegt und somit leicht Wertscheinstaus oder andere Störungen auftreten können. Insbesondere im Falle eines sogenannten Retracts kann es hierbei zum Auffächern der Wertscheine des Wertscheinbündels kommen.The problem with these transport units is that notes of value in the bundle of notes can easily slip relative to one another, so that there is no longer an orderly bundle of notes and thus bank notes jams or other faults can easily occur. Particularly in the case of a so-called retract, the notes of value of the bundle of notes can be fanned out.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen anzugeben, mit deren Hilfe ein Wertscheinbündel sicher und zuverlässig transportierbar ist.It is the object of the invention to provide a device for handling notes of value, with the aid of which a bundle of notes can be transported safely and reliably.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a device with the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.
Erfindungsgemäß umfasst die Transporteinheit eine Klemmeinheit, die ein um eine Drehachse schwenkbares Klemmelement hat. In einer ersten Position ist dieses Klemmelement derart angeordnet, dass ein Wertscheinbündel einem zwischen dem Klemmelement und dem Riemen befindlichen Aufnahmebereich zuführ- und/oder entnehmbar ist. In einer zweiten Position hingegen ist das Klemmelement derart angeordnet, dass ein in diesem Aufnahmebereich aufgenommenes Wertscheinbündel zwischen dem Riemen und dem Klemmelement eingeklemmt ist.According to the invention, the transport unit comprises a clamping unit which has a clamping element which can be pivoted about an axis of rotation. In a first position, this clamping element is arranged in such a way that a bundle of banknotes can be fed into and / or removed from a receiving area located between the clamping element and the belt. In a second position, however, the clamping element is arranged in such a way that a bundle of banknotes received in this receiving area is clamped between the belt and the clamping element.
Somit kann, wenn das Klemmelement in der ersten Position angeordnet ist, ein Wertscheinbündel sicher und auf einfache Weise dem Aufnahmebereich zugeführt werden. Ist das Klemmelement dagegen in der zweiten Position angeordnet, so wird ein sicherer Transport des Wertscheinbündels gewährleistet. Über das Klemmelement und den Riemen ist das Wertscheinbündel beidseitig eingeklemmt, so dass über die wirkende Anpresskraft ein Auseinanderfächern des Wertscheinbündels, d.h. ein Verrutschen der Wertschein relativ zueinander, vermieden wird. Insbesondere kann somit auch ein Wertscheinbündel, nachdem es im Ausgabefach zur Entnahme angeboten wurde, im Falle des Nichtentnehmens wieder zuverlässig eingeklemmt und somit sicher zu dem Retractbereich zurücktransportiert werden. Alternativ kann das Wertscheinbündel während des Darbietens über das Ausgabefach auch eingeklemmt bleiben. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass es nicht unbeabsichtigt herausfallen kann.Thus, when the clamping element is arranged in the first position, a bundle of banknotes can be safely and easily fed to the receiving area. If, on the other hand, the clamping element is arranged in the second position, secure transport of the bundle of notes is ensured. The bundle of banknotes is clamped on both sides via the clamping element and the belt, so that the bundle of banknotes is not fanned apart by the applied pressure force, ie the banknotes are prevented from slipping relative to one another. In particular, a bundle of banknotes, after it has been offered for removal in the output compartment, can be reliably clamped again in the event of non-removal and thus securely to the retract area be transported back. Alternatively, the bundle of banknotes can also remain clamped while being presented via the output compartment. This has the advantage that it cannot fall out unintentionally.
Die Klemmeinheit ist insbesondere an dem Riemen befestigt, so dass sie zusammen mit dem Riemen bewegt wird. Alternativ kann die Klemmeinheit auch über eine separate Antriebseinheit, vorzugsweise einen angetriebenen Zahnriemen, bewegt werden. In diesem Fall werden der Riemen und die Klemmeinheit insbesondere mit derselben Geschwindigkeit bewegt, so dass die Klemmung des Wertscheinbündels zwischen dem Riemen und der Klemmeinheit sichergestellt ist.The clamping unit is in particular attached to the belt so that it is moved together with the belt. Alternatively, the clamping unit can also be moved via a separate drive unit, preferably a driven toothed belt. In this case, the belt and the clamping unit are moved in particular at the same speed, so that the clamping of the bundle of notes between the belt and the clamping unit is ensured.
Das Klemmelement ist insbesondere derart ausgebildet und gelagert, dass es in der zweiten Position relativ zur ersten Position um einen voreingestellten Winkel um die Drehachse verschwenkt ist. Dieser Winkel hat beispielsweise einen Wert im Bereich zwischen 5° und 20°, vorzugsweise zwischen 6° und 10°. Somit wird auf einfache Weise ein Verstellen zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Position erreicht, so dass über nur einen kurzen Verstellweg zwischen der einfachen Aufnahme und dem sicheren Einklemmen verstellt werden kann.The clamping element is designed and supported in particular in such a way that in the second position it is pivoted relative to the first position by a preset angle about the axis of rotation. This angle has, for example, a value in the range between 5 ° and 20 °, preferably between 6 ° and 10 °. An adjustment between the first and the second position is thus achieved in a simple manner, so that it is possible to adjust between the simple receptacle and the secure clamping over only a short adjustment path.
Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn das Klemmelement mithilfe mindestens eines elastischen Elementes in der zweiten Position vorgespannt ist, und entgegen einer Rückstellkraft dieses elastischen Elementes von der zweiten in die erste Position verschwenkbar ist. Durch das Vorspannen in der Position, in der das Wertscheinbündel eingeklemmt ist, wird gewährleistet, dass beim Transport des Wertscheinbündels dieses zuverlässig und sicher eingeklemmt ist und somit das Verrutschen der Wertscheine des Wertscheinbündels verhindert wird. Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann das Klemmelement über ein elastisches Element auch in der ersten Position vorgespannt sein. In diesem Fall muss das Klemmelement zum Einklemmen des Wertscheinbündels aktiv von der ersten in die zweite Position bewegt werden und während des Transports des Wertscheinbündels in dieser zweiten Position gehalten werden.It is particularly advantageous if the clamping element is pretensioned in the second position with the aid of at least one elastic element and can be pivoted from the second to the first position against a restoring force of this elastic element. By pretensioning in the position in which the bundle of banknotes is jammed is, it is ensured that during the transport of the bundle of banknotes it is reliably and securely clamped and thus prevents the banknotes of the bundle of banknotes from slipping. In an alternative embodiment, the clamping element can also be pretensioned in the first position via an elastic element. In this case, the clamping element has to be actively moved from the first to the second position in order to clamp the bundle of notes and be held in this second position during the transport of the bundle of notes.
Das elastische Element ist insbesondere in Form mindestens einer Feder, beispielsweise einer Torsionsfeder, ausgebildet. Alternativ kann als elastisches Element auch ein Silikonblock oder ein Block aus einem anderen elastischen Element verwendet werden. Somit ist ein besonders einfacher Aufbau erreicht.The elastic element is designed in particular in the form of at least one spring, for example a torsion spring. Alternatively, a silicone block or a block made from another elastic element can also be used as the elastic element. A particularly simple structure is thus achieved.
Die Klemmeinheit umfasst insbesondere ein ortsfest an dem Riemen befestigtes Grundelement, an dem wiederum das Klemmelement der Klemmeinheit um die Drehachse verschwenkbar angeordnet ist. Unter dem ortsfesten Befestigen wird insbesondere verstanden, dass dieses Grundelement nicht relativ zum Riemen bewegbar ist. Dadurch wird beim Antreiben des Riemens die Klemmeinheit mitbewegt, so dass ein in der Klemmeinheit aufgenommenes Wertscheinbündel auf einfache Weise transportiert werden kann.The clamping unit comprises in particular a base element which is fixedly fastened to the belt and on which the clamping element of the clamping unit is in turn arranged such that it can pivot about the axis of rotation. Fixed attachment is understood in particular to mean that this base element cannot be moved relative to the belt. As a result, when the belt is driven, the clamping unit is also moved, so that a bundle of banknotes received in the clamping unit can be transported in a simple manner.
Der Riemen ist hierbei insbesondere als endloser Riemen ausgebildet, der um mindestens zwei Umlenkelemente umlaufend geführt ist. Mindestens eines dieser Umlenkelemente ist mithilfe der Antriebseinheit angetrieben, so dass auch der Riemen entsprechend antreibbar ist. Bei den Umlenkelementen kann es sich insbesondere um Rollen handeln, bei der Antriebseinheit insbesondere um einen Motor.The belt is in particular designed as an endless belt that is guided around at least two deflection elements. At least one of these deflection elements is driven with the aid of the drive unit, so that too the belt can be driven accordingly. The deflecting elements can in particular be rollers, and the drive unit can in particular be a motor.
Der endlose Riemen ist aufgrund der Führung über die beiden Umlenkelemente in einen ersten und einen parallel zum ersten Teilbereich verlaufenden zweiten Teilbereich unterteilt. Das Grundelement ist insbesondere an einem ersten Teilbereich befestigt, wobei das Klemmelement das in dem Aufnahmebereich aufgenommene Wertscheinbündel zwischen dem Klemmelement und dem zweiten Teilbereich einklemmt, wenn es in der zweiten Position angeordnet ist. Hierdurch wird zum einen ein besonders kompakter Aufbau der Klemmeinheit und zum anderen eine besonders sichere Aufnahme des Wertscheinbündels zwischen dem Klemmelement und dem Riemen erreicht.The endless belt is divided into a first and a second partial area running parallel to the first partial area due to the guidance via the two deflecting elements. The base element is in particular fastened to a first partial area, the clamping element clamping the bundle of notes received in the receiving area between the clamping element and the second partial area when it is arranged in the second position. This achieves, on the one hand, a particularly compact design of the clamping unit and, on the other hand, a particularly secure reception of the bundle of notes between the clamping element and the belt.
Alternativ kann das Grundelement auch an einem separaten Zahnriemen befestigt sein. Der Zahnriemen ist mit Hilfe einer Antriebseinheit antreibbar, so dass die Klemmeinheit entsprechend verfahrbar ist. Bei der Antriebseinheit kann es sich sowohl um die gleiche Antriebseinheit, mit der auch der Riemen antreibbar ist, als auch um eine weitere, separate Antriebseinheit handeln. Der Zahnriemen verläuft vorzugsweise in etwa parallel zu dem Riemen und ist insbesondere an einem Endbereich des Grundelementes befestigt.Alternatively, the base element can also be attached to a separate toothed belt. The toothed belt can be driven with the aid of a drive unit so that the clamping unit can be moved accordingly. The drive unit can be either the same drive unit with which the belt can be driven or a further, separate drive unit. The toothed belt preferably runs approximately parallel to the belt and is in particular attached to an end area of the base element.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Klemmeinheit derart ausgebildet ist, dass ein an einer ersten Stirnseite des Wertscheinbündels angeordneter erster Wertschein das Klemmelement und ein an einer der ersten Stirnseite entgegengesetzten zweiten Stirnseite angeordneter zweiter Wertschein den zweiten Teilbereich des Riemens kontaktiert, wenn das Klemmelement in der zweiten Position angeordnet ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the clamping unit is designed in such a way that a first banknote arranged on a first end face of the bundle of banknotes has the clamping element and one on one opposite the first end face Second face arranged second note of value contacted the second portion of the belt when the clamping element is arranged in the second position.
Erfindungsgemäß ist an dem Klemmelement mindestens eine relativ zum Klemmelement um ihre Längsachse drehbare Rolle angeordnet, über die das Wertscheinbündel beim Zuführen zum Aufnahmebereich und/oder bei der Entnahme aus dem Aufnahmebereich geführt ist. Insbesondere sind mehrere hintereinander angeordnete Rollen vorgesehen, so dass das Wertscheinbündel auf diesen gleiten kann und somit die Reibungskraft zwischen dem an der dem Klemmelement zugewandten Seite des Wertscheinbündels angeordneten Wertschein und dem Klemmelement reduziert wird, so dass ein Verrutschen der Wertscheine des Wertscheinbündels zueinander vermieden wird.According to the invention, at least one roller rotatable relative to the clamping element about its longitudinal axis is arranged on the clamping element, over which the bundle of notes is guided when being fed to the receiving area and / or when being removed from the receiving area. In particular, several rollers arranged one behind the other are provided so that the bundle of banknotes can slide on them and thus the frictional force between the banknotes arranged on the side of the bundle of banknotes facing the clamping element and the clamping element is reduced, so that the banknotes of the bundle of banknotes do not slip relative to one another.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Wertscheinbündel mithilfe der Transporteinheit von einem ersten Übergabebereich zu einem zweiten Übergabebereich transportierbar ist und wenn im ersten Übergabebereich und/oder im zweiten Übergabebereich jeweils eine Verstelleinheit zum Verstellen des Klemmelementes von der zweiten in die erste Position, wenn die Klemmeinheit in dem jeweiligen Übergabebereich angeordnet ist, vorgesehen ist. Somit wird erreicht, dass beim Bewegen der Klemmeinheit in einen der Übergabebereiche das über das elastische Element in der zweiten Position vorgespannte Klemmelement über die Verstelleinheit automatisch in die erste Position entgegen der Rückstellkraft des elastischen Elementes bewegt wird. Somit wird sichergestellt, dass, das Wertscheinbündel dem Aufnahmebereich zuführbar ist, wenn die Klemmeinheit in dem Übergabebereich angeordnet ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the bundle of banknotes can be transported from a first transfer area to a second transfer area with the aid of the transport unit and if an adjustment unit for adjusting the clamping element from the second to the first position is provided in the first transfer area and / or in the second transfer area, if the clamping unit is arranged in the respective transfer area is provided. It is thus achieved that when the clamping unit is moved into one of the transfer areas, the clamping element prestressed in the second position via the elastic element is automatically moved into the first position via the adjustment unit against the restoring force of the elastic element. This ensures that the bundle of notes is in the receiving area can be fed when the clamping unit is arranged in the transfer area.
Die Verstelleinheit kann insbesondere eine Rampe umfassen, die beim Bewegen der Klemmeinheit in den entsprechenden Übergabebereich das Klemmelement kontaktiert und über diesen Kontakt um die Drehachse von der zweiten in die erste Position dreht. Somit ist ein besonders einfacher und kompakter Aufbau erreicht und dennoch ist sichergestellt, dass die Klemmeinheit in den Übergabebereich in der ersten Position angeordnet ist.The adjustment unit can in particular comprise a ramp which, when the clamping unit is moved into the corresponding transfer area, makes contact with the clamping element and, via this contact, rotates around the axis of rotation from the second to the first position. A particularly simple and compact construction is thus achieved and it is nevertheless ensured that the clamping unit is arranged in the transfer area in the first position.
Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn das Klemmelement einen ersten Kontaktbereich zum Kontaktieren des Wertscheinbündels und einen zweiten Kontaktbereich zum Kontaktieren der Rampe umfasst. Die beiden Kontaktbereiche sind bezogen auf die Drehachse des Klemmelements an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Klemmelements angeordnet. In dem zweiten Kontaktbereich, also in dem Kontaktbereich, über den die Rampe kontaktiert wird, ist insbesondere eine Rolle zum Kontaktieren der Rampe vorgesehen. Somit wird ein Verkanten des Klemmelements mit der Rampe beim Bewegen der Klemmeinheit in den Übergabebereich vermieden und eine Leichtgängigkeit der Vorrichtung sichergestellt.It is particularly advantageous if the clamping element comprises a first contact area for contacting the bundle of notes and a second contact area for contacting the ramp. The two contact areas are arranged on opposite sides of the clamping element in relation to the axis of rotation of the clamping element. In the second contact area, that is to say in the contact area via which the ramp is contacted, a roller for contacting the ramp is provided in particular. This avoids tilting the clamping element with the ramp when moving the clamping unit into the transfer area and ensures that the device can move easily.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende Riemen vorgesehen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform weist die Klemmeinheit insbesondere ein weiteres Klemmelement auf, das das Wertscheinbündel zusammen mit dem weiteren Riemen ebenfalls einklemmt. Die beiden Klemmelemente sind insbesondere baugleich ausgebildet. Die beiden Klemmelemente sind ferner vorzugsweise an der gleichen Grundeinheit der Klemmeinheit befestigt, wobei die Grundeinheit insbesondere an beiden Riemen befestigt ist. Somit wird insgesamt eine besonders sichere Aufnahme des Wertscheinbündels und ein besonders zuverlässiger Transport erreicht.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, two belts running parallel to one another are provided. In this embodiment, the clamping unit has in particular a further clamping element which also clamps the bundle of notes together with the further belt. The two clamping elements are designed in particular to be identical. The two clamping elements are also preferably attached to the same basic unit of the clamping unit, the basic unit being attached in particular to both straps. Overall, therefore, particularly secure reception of the bundle of notes and particularly reliable transport are achieved.

Das Klemmelement 44 ist insbesondere über mindestens ein elastisches Element in der zweiten Position gehalten, so dass sichergestellt ist, dass es während des Transports in dieser zweiten Position angeordnet ist und somit die Einklemmung des Wertscheinbündels gewährleistet ist. Bei dem elastischen Element handelt es sich insbesondere um eine Torsionsfeder 48 (
In den Übergabebereichen, d.h. in denjenigen Bereichen, in denen die Klemmeinheit 38 angeordnet ist, wenn ihr ein Wertscheinbündel zugeführt und/oder entnommen werden soll, ist insbesondere jeweils eine Verstelleinheit 50 vorgesehen, über die das Klemmelement 44 entgegen der Rückstellkraft des elastischen Elementes 48 von der zweiten in die erste Position bewegt wird, wenn die Klemmeinheit 38 in diesen Übergabebereich verfahren wird. Die Verstelleinheit 50 weist eine Rampe 52 auf, auf der eine Rolle 54 des Klemmelementes 44 aufläuft, wenn die Klemmeinheit 38 in Richtung des Pfeils P1 in den Übergabebereich bewegt wird. Durch den in Richtung P1 gesehenen ansteigenden Verlauf der Rampe 52 wird das Klemmelement 44 entsprechend des Pfeils P2 um die Drehachse 42 gedreht und somit von der zweiten in die erste Position bewegt. Somit wird eine besonders sichere, zuverlässige und dennoch einfache Verstellung der Klemmeinheit 38 von der zweiten in die erste Position erreicht, wenn die Klemmeinheit 38 in den Übergabebereich verfahren wird.In the transfer areas, i.e. In those areas in which the
