Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus for processing sheet-like objects, in particular banknotes.
- Such a device comprises a conveying device which forms a conveying path along which sheet-like objects are to be conveyed.
- One or more roller arrangements can be arranged on the conveyor track, which have at least two opposing rollers, each with a cylindrical lateral surface, between which a sheet-like object is to be guided along a conveying direction.
- Such a device may, for example, be a terminal for carrying out a bank transaction, for example a payment process or a deposit procedure of banknotes.
- banknotes may be stored in cassettes from which the bills are taken in a payout process and fed to banknotes in a deposit process.
- banknotes may be a clipboard unit in the form of a reel storage in which banknotes can be cached. Banknotes may be conveyed between an input and output device, the clipboard unit, and the cassettes by means of a suitable conveyor device forming one or more conveyor lines.
- Roller storage arrangements for storing sheet-like objects, in particular banknotes, are also known from the DE 197 32 129 A1 and the EP 0 917 691 B1 known.
- the WO 2012/110556 A1 describes a device for collecting bills with a plurality of pairs of rolls on which bills can be conveyed along a conveyor line.
- shaft pairs are provided with rolls arranged thereon for the transport of banknotes.
- a device for processing of sheet-like objects in particular banknotes, in which sheet-like objects at least temporarily stored in a roll storage arrangement on a storage roll reel and removed as part of a payment process or for transfer to another storage device, such as a cassette, from the roll storage arrangement, as this for example in the DE 197 32 129 A1 and the EP 0 917 691 B1
- curvature of the sheet-like objects may occur.
- banknote of a roll storage arrangement is removed and output via an output device during a payout process at an ATM or at a terminal for carrying out a bank transaction
- this banknote may possibly be curved in itself, which may be unattractive and also the removal and the subsequent stowage of a Banknote in a wallet can make it difficult for a user.
- a known device are arranged on rollers profile elements in the form of circumferential beads, which act deformingly on a sheet-shaped object.
- transport rollers and retaining rollers are arranged in juxtaposition to each other such that paper can be separated by opposing driving the rollers.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device for processing sheet-like objects, in particular banknotes, which makes it possible to smooth out sheet-like objects, in particular banknotes, processed in the device in a simple, cost-effective manner without extensive structural alteration of existing devices ,
- the at least two rollers are arranged in a specific embodiment to each other such that they do not touch each other on their lateral surfaces.
- the at least two rollers have as far as a predetermined distance (non-zero) to each other, which is so large that the rollers do not touch on their lateral surfaces, but at the same time so small that when passing the sheet-like object between the lateral surfaces of the rollers, the rollers can act on the sheet-shaped object.
- the at least two rollers can each be arranged on an axle element, it being possible to provide a plurality, for example two rollers spaced apart axially from one another on each axle element.
- Each axle element with its axially spaced-apart rollers arranged thereon thus constitutes a roller unit, wherein the rollers of a first axle element lie opposite the rollers of a second axle element, so that a sheet-like object can be guided between the rollers of the axle elements and conveyed along the conveyor track.
- the axle elements are each rotatable about an associated axis of rotation, wherein the axes of rotation extend transversely to the conveying direction and parallel to each other, so that a sheet-like object between the rollers arranged on the axle elements can be passed.
- a first roller of the at least two rollers may have a web which extends around the roller as a profile element.
- a second roller opposite the first roller preferably as a profile element, has a recess running around the roller, into which the web of the first roller protrudes.
- the web of the first roller extends along the circumferential direction about the axis of rotation of the first roller about the first roller and projects radially outwardly from the lateral surface of the first roller.
- the recess of the second roller is formed in the lateral surface of the second roller and extends in the circumferential direction around the axis of rotation associated with the second roller, so that upon rotation of the rollers to each other during a conveying movement of a sheet-shaped object between the rollers through the web of first roller in the recess of the second roller can move.
- the two rollers preferably do not touch each other, so that the web protrudes into the depression, but it is not in contact with the second roll. If a sheet-shaped object, in particular a banknote, is guided between the rollers, the web of the first roller rolls in the conveying direction along the sheet-like object and presses it into the recess of the second roller, so that a profiling is formed in the sheet-shaped object.
- a sheet-shaped object in particular a banknote
- a plurality of webs which are axially spaced apart from each other on the lateral surface may also be provided on the first roller which, for example, engage in a plurality of depressions of the second roller.
- a first roller of the at least two rollers as profile element has a first toothing arranged on the lateral surface.
- a second roller of the at least two rollers preferably as a profile element, has a second toothing, which is arranged on the lateral surface and into which the first toothing engages.
- the two rollers are thus interlocked on their lateral surfaces and interlock. If a sheet-like object passes between the rollers, the toothings of the rollers act on the sheet-shaped object and profile it, which leads to a smoothing of the sheet-like object due to the associated structural change.
- the intermeshing teeth of the rollers do not necessarily touch each other. Both rollers can also be spaced such that the teeth do not touch and thus a sheet-shaped object, such as a banknote, can be passed between the rollers.
- the teeth may be formed as a straight toothing with parallel to the pivot axis of the rollers extending tooth back or as helical gears with an angle to the axis of rotation extending tooth back.
- the teeth of the toothings are shaped in such a way that, when a sheet-like object, in particular a banknote, is passed through, the sheet-shaped object is not damaged, for example tearing .
- the teeth are thus preferably not pointed, but at least slightly rounded at the back of their teeth.
- the tooth depths may be so small that a profiling formed by means of the teeth in the sheet-shaped article is barely visible to a user, but leads to such a stiffening of the sheet-shaped article that a smoothing along the conveying direction is effected.
- a first roller of the at least two rollers as a profile element may also have at least one protrusion protruding from the lateral surface in the manner of a knob-shaped elevation or the like.
- a plurality of projections are preferably provided on the lateral surface of the first roller, which may be arranged disorderly or to form a predetermined pattern on the lateral surface.
- one of the first roller opposite, the second role of at least two rollers as a profile element preferably at least one recess pointing into the lateral surface in which the at least one projection of the first roller protrudes, on. If a plurality of projections are provided on the first roller, then correspondingly the second roller also has a plurality of depressions which are assigned to the projections and with which the projections engage in a rotation.
- the second roller is - as described - complementary to the first roller, so that the profile element of the first roller (for example, a web, a toothing or a projection) in the associated complementary profile element (for example, a depression or a Toothing) can intervene.
- the second roller is formed at least on its lateral surface of an elastically deformable material and the first roller with the lateral surface of the second roller in such a system that the at least one profile element of the first roller in the lateral surface of second role is depressible.
- these variants can also be used in combination on a conveying device.
- a first roller arrangement with rollers, which have first profile elements, and additionally a second roller arrangement with rollers, which have second profile elements may be provided.
- roller assemblies with rollers with different profile elements different structuring can be in a sheet-shaped Object can be introduced, which can lead to an advantageous smoothing of the sheet-like object.
- the roller assembly according to the invention has a first roller, a second roller and a third roller, each having a cylindrical outer surface.
- the first roller and the third roller are in each case opposite the second roller in such a way that the sheet-like object can be guided between the first roller and the second roller and between the third roller and the second roller along the conveying direction.
- the first roller and the third roller are spaced apart from one another along the conveying direction and form between them a gap into which the second roller protrudes.
- a counter-curvature can be formed in a sheet-like object guided between the rollers, that of a curvature, that of the sheet-shaped object, for example as a result of being stored on a roller storage arrangement, is directed opposite, so that the sheet-like object is smoothed after passing through the roller assembly.
- the diameter of the first roller is larger, preferably much larger (for example, twice as large, three times as large, four times as large or even larger) than the diameter of the second roller, wherein the first roller and the third roller, for example a may have the same diameter.
- the second roller is thus much smaller in diameter than the first roller (and possibly also the third roller), which makes it possible to introduce a comparatively strong counter-curvature into the sheet-shaped object.
- Such a roller arrangement with three rollers can be combined in an advantageous embodiment with the variants of profile elements described above, wherein profile elements can be arranged on each of the three rollers.
- profile elements can be arranged on each of the three rollers.
- the roller assembly comprises a first roller, a second roller and a third roller having a cylindrical lateral surface, wherein the first roller and the third roller of the second roller opposite each other such that the sheet-like object between the first roller and the second Roller and between the third roller and the second roller along the conveying direction is guided, wherein the first roller and the third roller along the conveying direction are spaced from each other and form a gap between them, in which projects the second roller.
- the diameter of the first roller (and optionally also the diameter of the third roller) is preferably greater than the diameter of the second roller, for example twice, three times, four times as large or even larger.
- the diameter of the first roller and the third roller may be the same, for example.
- the roller assembly at least two first rollers, which are arranged axially offset along a first axis, and at least one second roller, which is arranged on a second axis, wherein the at least two first rollers have an axial distance therebetween and the at least one second roller in the region of the distance is arranged axially between the at least two first rollers on the associated second axis.
- the axes extend parallel to each other.
- the rollers are preferably rotatable about the axes.
- the two first rollers of the first axis are in this case axially spaced from each other, and the second roller of the second axis is located at an axial position between the two first rollers of the first axis, wherein the second roller preferably projects into an intermediate space formed between the two first rollers.
- rollers may be arranged on each axis, wherein the first rollers of the first axis are axially offset from the second rollers of the second axis and the second rollers preferably project into axial spaces between the first rollers. If a sheet-like object is passed between the rollers of this roller assembly, so profiling along the conveying direction can be formed in the sheet-shaped object due to the axial offset between the rollers, resulting in a structural change to the sheet-shaped object and thus a smoothing and optionally stiffening of the sheet-like object can lead.
- the conveying device has a thermal heating device for at least partially heating the sheet-shaped object, wherein the heating device of the at least one roller is opposite such that the sheet-like object between the at least one roller and the heating device is to be passed along the conveying direction.
- a conveying device may have a thermal heating device and profiled rollers for forming a profiling into a sheet-like object.

An der Förderstrecke können eine oder mehrere Rollenanordnungen angeordnet sein, die mindestens zwei sich gegenüberliegende Rollen mit jeweils einer zylindrischen Mantelfläche aufweisen, zwischen denen ein blattförmiger Gegenstand entlang einer Förderrichtung hindurchzuführen ist.Such a device comprises a conveying device which forms a conveying path along which sheet-like objects are to be conveyed. One or more roller arrangements can be arranged on the conveyor track, which have at least two opposing rollers, each with a cylindrical lateral surface, between which a sheet-like object is to be guided along a conveying direction.
Bei einer solchen Vorrichtung kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Terminal zur Durchführung einer Banktransaktion, beispielsweise eines Auszahlungsvorgangs oder eines Einzahlungsvorgangs von Banknoten, handeln. Bei einer solchen Vorrichtung, wie sie beispielsweise aus der

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zur Verarbeitung von blattförmigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Banknoten, zur Verfügung zu stellen, die auf einfache, kostengünstige Weise ohne umfangreiche bauliche Veränderung von bestehenden Vorrichtungen eine Glättung von in der Vorrichtung verarbeiteten blattförmigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Banknoten, ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is to provide a device for processing sheet-like objects, in particular banknotes, which makes it possible to smooth out sheet-like objects, in particular banknotes, processed in the device in a simple, cost-effective manner without extensive structural alteration of existing devices ,
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Gegenstand mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by an article having the features of
Die mindestens zwei Rollen sind in einer konkreten Ausgestaltung derart zueinander angeordnet, dass sie sich nicht an ihren Mantelflächen berühren. Die mindestens zwei Rollen weisen soweit einen vorbestimmten Abstand (ungleich Null) zueinander auf, der so groß ist, dass die Rollen sich an ihren Mantelflächen nicht berühren, gleichzeitig aber so klein, dass bei einem Hindurchführen des blattförmigen Gegenstands zwischen den Mantelflächen der Rollen die Rollen auf den blattförmigen Gegenstand einwirken können.The at least two rollers are arranged in a specific embodiment to each other such that they do not touch each other on their lateral surfaces. The at least two rollers have as far as a predetermined distance (non-zero) to each other, which is so large that the rollers do not touch on their lateral surfaces, but at the same time so small that when passing the sheet-like object between the lateral surfaces of the rollers, the rollers can act on the sheet-shaped object.
Die mindestens zwei Rollen können jeweils an einem Achselement angeordnet sein, wobei an jedem Achselement, mehrere, beispielsweise zwei axial zueinander beabstandete Rollen vorgesehen sein können. Jedes Achselement mit seinen daran angeordneten, axial zueinander beabstandeten Rollen stellt somit eine Rolleneinheit dar, wobei die Rollen eines ersten Achselements den Rollen eines zweiten Achselements gegenüber liegen, so dass ein blattförmiger Gegenstand zwischen den Rollen der Achselemente hindurchgeführt und entlang der Förderstrecke befördert werden kann. Die Achselemente sind jeweils um eine zugeordnete Drehachse drehbar, wobei sich die Drehachsen quer zur Förderrichtung erstrecken und parallel zueinander verlaufen, so dass ein blattförmiger Gegenstand zwischen den an den Achselementen angeordneten Rollen hindurchgeführt werden kann.The at least two rollers can each be arranged on an axle element, it being possible to provide a plurality, for example two rollers spaced apart axially from one another on each axle element. Each axle element with its axially spaced-apart rollers arranged thereon thus constitutes a roller unit, wherein the rollers of a first axle element lie opposite the rollers of a second axle element, so that a sheet-like object can be guided between the rollers of the axle elements and conveyed along the conveyor track. The axle elements are each rotatable about an associated axis of rotation, wherein the axes of rotation extend transversely to the conveying direction and parallel to each other, so that a sheet-like object between the rollers arranged on the axle elements can be passed.
In einer ersten Variante kann eine erste Rolle der mindestens zwei Rollen als Profilelement einen um die Rolle umlaufenden Steg aufweisen.In a first variant, a first roller of the at least two rollers may have a web which extends around the roller as a profile element.
In diesem Fall weist eine der ersten Rolle gegenüberliegende, zweite Rolle vorzugsweise als Profilelement eine um die Rolle umlaufende Vertiefung, in die der Steg der ersten Rolle hineinragt, auf. Der Steg der ersten Rolle erstreckt sich entlang einer Umfangsrichtung um die Drehachse der ersten Rolle um die erste Rolle herum und springt radial nach außen von der Mantelfläche der ersten Rolle vor. Die Vertiefung der zweiten Rolle hingegen ist in die Mantelfläche der zweiten Rolle eingeformt und erstreckt sich in Umfangsrichtung um die der zweiten Rolle zugeordnete Drehachse herum, so dass bei einem Verdrehen der Rollen zueinander bei einer Förderbewegung eines blattförmigen Gegenstands zwischen den Rollen hindurch sich der Steg der ersten Rolle in der Vertiefung der zweiten Rolle bewegen kann. Die beiden Rollen berühren sich dabei vorzugsweise nicht, so dass der Steg zwar in die Vertiefung hineinragt, dabei jedoch nicht mit der zweiten Rolle in Anlage ist. Wird ein blattförmiger Gegenstand, insbesondere eine Banknote, zwischen den Rollen hindurchgeführt, so rollt der Steg der ersten Rolle in Förderrichtung entlang des blattförmigen Gegenstands und drückt diesen in die Vertiefung der zweiten Rolle hinein, so dass eine Profilierung in den blattförmigen Gegenstand eingeformt wird.In this case, a second roller opposite the first roller, preferably as a profile element, has a recess running around the roller, into which the web of the first roller protrudes. The web of the first roller extends along the circumferential direction about the axis of rotation of the first roller about the first roller and projects radially outwardly from the lateral surface of the first roller. The recess of the second roller, however, is formed in the lateral surface of the second roller and extends in the circumferential direction around the axis of rotation associated with the second roller, so that upon rotation of the rollers to each other during a conveying movement of a sheet-shaped object between the rollers through the web of first roller in the recess of the second roller can move. The two rollers preferably do not touch each other, so that the web protrudes into the depression, but it is not in contact with the second roll. If a sheet-shaped object, in particular a banknote, is guided between the rollers, the web of the first roller rolls in the conveying direction along the sheet-like object and presses it into the recess of the second roller, so that a profiling is formed in the sheet-shaped object.
Grundsätzlich können auch mehrere axial an der Mantelfläche zueinander beabstandete Stege an der ersten Rolle vorgesehen sein, die beispielsweise in mehrere Vertiefungen der zweiten Rolle eingreifen.In principle, a plurality of webs which are axially spaced apart from each other on the lateral surface may also be provided on the first roller which, for example, engage in a plurality of depressions of the second roller.
In einer zweiten Variante weist eine erste Rolle der mindestens zwei Rollen als Profilelement eine an der Mantelfläche angeordnete, erste Verzahnung auf.In a second variant, a first roller of the at least two rollers as profile element has a first toothing arranged on the lateral surface.
In diesem Fall weist eine zweite Rolle der mindestens zwei Rollen vorzugsweise als Profilelement eine an der Mantelfläche angeordnete, zweite Verzahnung auf, in die die erste Verzahnung eingreift. Die beiden Rollen sind somit an ihren Mantelflächen verzahnt und greifen ineinander ein. Läuft ein blattförmiger Gegenstand zwischen den Rollen hindurch, so wirken die Verzahnungen der Rollen auf den blattförmigen Gegenstand ein und profilieren diesen, was aufgrund der damit einhergehenden Strukturveränderung zu einer Glättung des blattförmigen Gegenstands führt.In this case, a second roller of the at least two rollers, preferably as a profile element, has a second toothing, which is arranged on the lateral surface and into which the first toothing engages. The two rollers are thus interlocked on their lateral surfaces and interlock. If a sheet-like object passes between the rollers, the toothings of the rollers act on the sheet-shaped object and profile it, which leads to a smoothing of the sheet-like object due to the associated structural change.
Die ineinander eingreifenden Verzahnungen der Rollen berühren sich nicht notwendigerweise. Beide Rollen können auch derart beabstandet sein, dass die Verzahnungen sich nicht berühren und somit ein blattförmiger Gegenstand, beispielsweise eine Banknote, zwischen den Rollen hindurchgeführt werden kann.The intermeshing teeth of the rollers do not necessarily touch each other. Both rollers can also be spaced such that the teeth do not touch and thus a sheet-shaped object, such as a banknote, can be passed between the rollers.
Die Verzahnungen können als Geradverzahnungen mit parallel zur Schwenkachse der Rollen verlaufenden Zahnrücken oder auch als Schrägverzahnungen mit schräg zur Drehachse verlaufenden Zahnrücken ausgebildet sein.The teeth may be formed as a straight toothing with parallel to the pivot axis of the rollers extending tooth back or as helical gears with an angle to the axis of rotation extending tooth back.
Bei Vorsehen von Verzahnungen an den beiden Rollen ist dafür Sorge zu tragen, dass die Zähne der Verzahnungen so geformt sind, dass es bei einem Durchführen eines blattförmigen Gegenstands, insbesondere einer Banknote, nicht zu einer Beschädigung, also beispielsweise einem Reißen, des blattförmigen Gegenstands kommt. Die Zähne sind somit vorzugsweise nicht spitz, sondern an ihren Zahnrücken zumindest leicht abgerundet. Die Zahntiefen können dabei so klein sein, dass eine mittels der Verzahnungen in den blattförmigen Gegenstand eingeformte Profilierung für einen Nutzer kaum sichtbar ist, aber zu einer solchen Versteifung des blattförmigen Gegenstands führt, dass eine Glättung entlang der Förderrichtung bewirkt wird.When providing toothings on the two rollers, care must be taken that the teeth of the toothings are shaped in such a way that, when a sheet-like object, in particular a banknote, is passed through, the sheet-shaped object is not damaged, for example tearing , The teeth are thus preferably not pointed, but at least slightly rounded at the back of their teeth. The tooth depths may be so small that a profiling formed by means of the teeth in the sheet-shaped article is barely visible to a user, but leads to such a stiffening of the sheet-shaped article that a smoothing along the conveying direction is effected.
In einer dritten Variante kann eine erste Rolle der mindestens zwei Rollen als Profilelement auch mindestens einen von der Mantelfläche vorspringenden Vorsprung nach Art einer noppenförmigen Erhebung oder dergleichen aufweisen. Hierbei sind vorzugsweise an der Mantelfläche der ersten Rolle mehrere Vorsprünge vorgesehen, die ungeordnet oder auch zur Ausbildung eines vorbestimmten Musters an der Mantelfläche angeordnet sein können.In a third variant, a first roller of the at least two rollers as a profile element may also have at least one protrusion protruding from the lateral surface in the manner of a knob-shaped elevation or the like. In this case, a plurality of projections are preferably provided on the lateral surface of the first roller, which may be arranged disorderly or to form a predetermined pattern on the lateral surface.
Bei dieser Variante weist eine der ersten Rolle gegenüberliegende, zweite Rolle der mindestens zwei Rollen als Profilelement vorzugsweise mindestens eine in die Mantelfläche hineinweisende Vertiefung, in die der mindestens eine Vorsprung der ersten Rolle hineinragt, auf. Sind an der ersten Rolle mehrere Vorsprünge vorgesehen, so weist entsprechend die zweite Rolle auch mehrere Vertiefungen auf, die den Vorsprüngen zugeordnet sind und mit denen die Vorsprünge bei einem Verdrehen in Eingriff gelangen.In this variant, one of the first roller opposite, the second role of at least two rollers as a profile element preferably at least one recess pointing into the lateral surface in which the at least one projection of the first roller protrudes, on. If a plurality of projections are provided on the first roller, then correspondingly the second roller also has a plurality of depressions which are assigned to the projections and with which the projections engage in a rotation.
Bei den vorangehend beschriebenen Varianten ist vorzugsweise die zweite Rolle - wie beschrieben - komplementär zur ersten Rolle ausgebildet, so dass das Profilelement der ersten Rolle (beispielsweise ein Steg, eine Verzahnung oder ein Vorsprung) in das zugeordnete, komplementäre Profilelement (beispielsweise eine Vertiefung oder eine Verzahnung) eingreifen kann. Denkbar ist bei diesen Varianten jedoch auch, dass die zweite Rolle zumindest an ihrer Mantelfläche aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material gebildet ist und die erste Rolle mit der Mantelfläche der zweiten Rolle derart in Anlage ist, dass das mindestens eine Profilelement der ersten Rolle in die Mantelfläche der zweiten Rolle eindrückbar ist. In diesem Fall ist an der zweiten Rolle somit kein zum Profilelement der ersten Rolle komplementäres Profilelement vorgesehen, sondern die zweite Rolle ist an ihrer Mantelfläche elastisch verformbar, so dass bei einem Hindurchführen eines blattförmigen Gegenstands zwischen den beiden Rollen das vorspringende Profilelement der ersten Rolle im Zusammenwirken mit der Mantelfläche der zweiten Rolle eine Profilierung in den blattförmigen Gegenstand einformt.In the variants described above, preferably the second roller is - as described - complementary to the first roller, so that the profile element of the first roller (for example, a web, a toothing or a projection) in the associated complementary profile element (for example, a depression or a Toothing) can intervene. It is also conceivable in these variants, however, that the second roller is formed at least on its lateral surface of an elastically deformable material and the first roller with the lateral surface of the second roller in such a system that the at least one profile element of the first roller in the lateral surface of second role is depressible. In this case, therefore, no profiled element complementary to the profile element of the first roller is provided on the second roller, but the second roller is elastically deformable on its lateral surface, so that when a sheet-like object passes between the two rollers, the projecting profile element of the first roller interacts forms a profiling in the sheet-shaped object with the lateral surface of the second roller.
Zu den vorangehend beschriebenen unterschiedlichen Varianten von Profilelementen ist anzumerken, dass an einer Beförderungseinrichtung grundsätzlich diese Varianten auch in Kombination verwendet werden können. Beispielsweise können eine erste Rollenanordnung mit Rollen, die erste Profilelemente aufweisen, und zusätzlich eine zweite Rollenanordnung mit Rollen, die zweite Profilelemente aufweisen, vorgesehen sein. Durch Kombination von Rollenanordnungen mit Rollen mit unterschiedlichen Profilelementen können unterschiedliche Strukturierungen in einen blattförmigen Gegenstand eingebracht werden, was zu einer vorteilhaften Glättung des blattförmigen Gegenstands führen kann.With regard to the different variants of profile elements described above, it is to be noted that, in principle, these variants can also be used in combination on a conveying device. For example, a first roller arrangement with rollers, which have first profile elements, and additionally a second roller arrangement with rollers, which have second profile elements may be provided. By combining roller assemblies with rollers with different profile elements different structuring can be in a sheet-shaped Object can be introduced, which can lead to an advantageous smoothing of the sheet-like object.
Die erfindungsgemäße Rollenanordnung weist eine erste Rolle, eine zweite Rolle und eine dritte Rolle mit jeweils einer zylindrischen Mantelfläche auf. Die erste Rolle und die dritte Rolle liegen hierbei jeweils der zweiten Rolle gegenüber derart, dass der blattförmige Gegenstand zwischen der ersten Rolle und der zweiten Rolle sowie zwischen der dritten Rolle und der zweiten Rolle entlang der Förderrichtung hindurchgeführt werden kann. Die erste Rolle und die dritte Rolle sind hierbei entlang der Förderrichtung zueinander beabstandet und bilden zwischen sich einen Zwischenraum aus, in den die zweite Rolle hineinragt.The roller assembly according to the invention has a first roller, a second roller and a third roller, each having a cylindrical outer surface. The first roller and the third roller are in each case opposite the second roller in such a way that the sheet-like object can be guided between the first roller and the second roller and between the third roller and the second roller along the conveying direction. In this case, the first roller and the third roller are spaced apart from one another along the conveying direction and form between them a gap into which the second roller protrudes.
Durch solch eine Anordnung von drei Rollen zueinander kann mittels der zweiten Rolle, die sich in einen Zwischenraum zwischen der ersten und der dritten Rolle hineinerstreckt, eine Gegenwölbung in einen zwischen den Rollen hindurchgeführten blattförmigen Gegenstand eingeformt werden, die einer Wölbung, die der blattförmige Gegenstand beispielsweise in Folge einer Lagerung an einer Rollenspeicheranordnung angenommen hat, entgegengerichtet ist, so dass der blattförmige Gegenstand nach Durchlaufen der Rollenanordnung geglättet ist. Hierzu ist vorzugsweise der Durchmesser der ersten Rolle größer, vorzugsweise sehr viel größer (beispielsweise doppelt so groß, dreimal so groß, viermal so groß oder sogar noch größer), als der Durchmesser der zweiten Rolle, wobei die erste Rolle und die dritte Rolle beispielsweise einen gleichen Durchmesser aufweisen können. Die zweite Rolle ist somit in ihrem Durchmesser sehr viel kleiner als die erste Rolle (und gegebenenfalls auch die dritte Rolle), was ermöglicht, eine vergleichsweise starke Gegenkrümmung in den blattförmigen Gegenstand einzubringen.By means of such an arrangement of three rollers relative to one another, by means of the second roller, which extends into a space between the first and third rollers, a counter-curvature can be formed in a sheet-like object guided between the rollers, that of a curvature, that of the sheet-shaped object, for example as a result of being stored on a roller storage arrangement, is directed opposite, so that the sheet-like object is smoothed after passing through the roller assembly. For this purpose, preferably the diameter of the first roller is larger, preferably much larger (for example, twice as large, three times as large, four times as large or even larger) than the diameter of the second roller, wherein the first roller and the third roller, for example a may have the same diameter. The second roller is thus much smaller in diameter than the first roller (and possibly also the third roller), which makes it possible to introduce a comparatively strong counter-curvature into the sheet-shaped object.
Eine solche Rollenanordnung mit drei Rollen kann in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung mit den vorangehend beschriebenen Varianten von Profilelementen kombiniert sein, wobei an jeder der drei Rollen Profilelemente angeordnet sein können. Beispielsweise kann an der ersten Rolle und an der dritten Rolle jeweils ein umlaufender Steg angeordnet sein, der in eine zugeordnete, umlaufende Vertiefung an der zweiten Rolle hineinragt, so dass die Stege der ersten Rolle und der dritten Rolle bei einem Hindurchführen eines blattförmigen Gegenstands durch die Rollenanordnung in Förderrichtung entlang des blattförmigen Gegenstands laufen und somit eine Profilierung an dem blattförmigen Gegenstand anbringen.Such a roller arrangement with three rollers can be combined in an advantageous embodiment with the variants of profile elements described above, wherein profile elements can be arranged on each of the three rollers. For example, may be arranged on the first roller and on the third roller each have a circumferential ridge, which projects into an associated, circumferential recess on the second roller, so that the webs of the first roller and the third roller in a passage of a sheet-like object through the Roller assembly run in the conveying direction along the sheet-like object and thus attach a profiling on the sheet-shaped object.
Eine solche Rollenanordnung mit drei Rollen kann grundsätzlich aber unabhängig von an den Rollen vorgesehenen Profilelementen zu einer Glättung von blattförmigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Banknoten, verwendet werden. Eine solche Vorrichtung wird jedoch nicht beansprucht. Eine Vorrichtung zur Verarbeitung von blattförmigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Banknoten, umfasst in diesem Fall
- eine Beförderungseinrichtung, die eine Förderstrecke ausbildet, entlang derer blattförmige Gegenstände zu befördern sind, und
- mindestens eine an der Förderstrecke angeordnete Rollenanordnung der Beförderungseinrichtung, die mindestens zwei sich gegenüberliegende Rollen mit einer zylindrischen Mantelfläche, zwischen denen ein blattförmiger Gegenstand entlang einer Förderrichtung hindurchzuführen ist, aufweist.
- a conveying device that forms a conveying path along which sheet-like objects are to be conveyed, and
- at least one arranged on the conveying path roller assembly of the conveying device, the at least two opposing rollers having a cylindrical outer surface, between which a sheet-like object is to be guided along a conveying direction.
Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die Rollenanordnung eine erste Rolle, eine zweite Rolle und eine dritte Rolle mit einer zylindrischen Mantelfläche aufweist, wobei die erste Rolle und die dritte Rolle jeweils der zweiten Rolle gegenüberliegen derart, dass der blattförmige Gegenstand zwischen der ersten Rolle und der zweiten Rolle sowie zwischen der dritten Rolle und der zweiten Rolle entlang der Förderrichtung hindurchführbar ist, wobei die erste Rolle und die dritte Rolle entlang der Förderrichtung zueinander beabstandet sind und einen Zwischenraum zwischen sich ausbilden, in den die zweite Rolle hineinragt.It is provided that the roller assembly comprises a first roller, a second roller and a third roller having a cylindrical lateral surface, wherein the first roller and the third roller of the second roller opposite each other such that the sheet-like object between the first roller and the second Roller and between the third roller and the second roller along the conveying direction is guided, wherein the first roller and the third roller along the conveying direction are spaced from each other and form a gap between them, in which projects the second roller.
Auch in diesem Fall ist der Durchmesser der ersten Rolle (und gegebenenfalls auch der Durchmesser der dritten Rolle) vorzugsweise größer als der Durchmesser der zweiten Rolle, beispielsweise doppelt, dreimal, viermal so groß oder noch größer. Der Durchmesser der ersten Rolle und der dritten Rolle können beispielsweise gleich sein.Also in this case, the diameter of the first roller (and optionally also the diameter of the third roller) is preferably greater than the diameter of the second roller, for example twice, three times, four times as large or even larger. The diameter of the first roller and the third roller may be the same, for example.
Eine andere nicht beanspruchte Vorrichtung zur Verarbeitung von blattförmigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Banknoten, umfasst
- eine Beförderungseinrichtung, die eine Förderstrecke ausbildet, entlang derer blattförmige Gegenstände zu befördern sind, und
- mindestens eine an der Förderstrecke angeordnete Rollenanordnung der Beförderungseinrichtung, die mehrere Rollen, zwischen denen ein blattförmiger Gegenstand entlang einer Förderrichtung hindurchzuführen ist, aufweist.
- a conveying device that forms a conveying path along which sheet-like objects are to be conveyed, and
- at least one arranged on the conveying path roller assembly of the conveying device, the plurality of rollers between which a sheet-like object is to be passed along a conveying direction comprises.
Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die Rollenanordnung mindestens zwei erste Rollen, die axial versetzt entlang einer ersten Achse angeordnet sind, und mindestens eine zweite Rolle, die an einer zweiten Achse angeordnet ist, aufweist, wobei die mindestens zwei ersten Rollen zwischen sich einen axialen Abstand aufweisen und die mindestens eine zweite Rolle im Bereich des Abstands axial zwischen den mindestens zwei ersten Rollen an der zugeordneten zweiten Achse angeordnet ist.It is provided that the roller assembly at least two first rollers, which are arranged axially offset along a first axis, and at least one second roller, which is arranged on a second axis, wherein the at least two first rollers have an axial distance therebetween and the at least one second roller in the region of the distance is arranged axially between the at least two first rollers on the associated second axis.
Dies geht von dem Gedanken aus, bei einer Rollenanordnung an einer Förderstrecke mindestens zwei erste Rollen an einer ersten Achse und mindestens eine zweite Rolle an einer zweiten Achse anzuordnen. Die Achsen erstrecken sich parallel zueinander. Um die Achsen sind die Rollen vorzugsweise drehbar. Die zwei ersten Rollen der ersten Achse sind hierbei axial zueinander beabstandet, und die zweite Rolle der zweiten Achse liegt an einer axialen Position zwischen den beiden ersten Rollen der ersten Achse, wobei die zweite Rolle vorzugsweise in eine zwischen den zwei ersten Rollen gebildeten Zwischenraum hineinragt.This is based on the idea to arrange at least two first rollers on a first axis and at least one second roller on a second axis in a roller assembly on a conveyor track. The axes extend parallel to each other. The rollers are preferably rotatable about the axes. The two first rollers of the first axis are in this case axially spaced from each other, and the second roller of the second axis is located at an axial position between the two first rollers of the first axis, wherein the second roller preferably projects into an intermediate space formed between the two first rollers.
Beispielsweise können an jeder Achse mehrere, beispielsweise drei oder mehr Rollen angeordnet sein, wobei die ersten Rollen der ersten Achse axial versetzt sind zu den zweiten Rollen der zweiten Achse und die zweiten Rollen vorzugsweise in axiale Zwischenräume zwischen den ersten Rollen hineinragen. Wird ein blattförmiger Gegenstand zwischen den Rollen dieser Rollenanordnung hindurchgeführt, so kann aufgrund des axialen Versatzes zwischen den Rollen eine Profilierung entlang der Förderrichtung in den blattförmigen Gegenstand eingeformt werden, der zu einer Strukturveränderung an den blattförmigen Gegenstand und damit einer Glättung und gegebenenfalls Versteifung des blattförmigen Gegenstands führen kann.For example, several, for example, three or more rollers may be arranged on each axis, wherein the first rollers of the first axis are axially offset from the second rollers of the second axis and the second rollers preferably project into axial spaces between the first rollers. If a sheet-like object is passed between the rollers of this roller assembly, so profiling along the conveying direction can be formed in the sheet-shaped object due to the axial offset between the rollers, resulting in a structural change to the sheet-shaped object and thus a smoothing and optionally stiffening of the sheet-like object can lead.
Eine wiederum andere nicht beanspruchte Vorrichtung zur Verarbeitung von blattförmigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Banknoten, umfasst
- eine Beförderungseinrichtung, die eine Förderstrecke ausbildet, entlang derer blattförmige Gegenstände zu befördern sind, und
- mindestens eine an der Förderstrecke angeordnete Rollenanordnung der Beförderungseinrichtung, die mindestens eine Rolle, an der ein blattförmiger Gegenstand entlang einer Förderrichtung zu führen ist, aufweist.
- a conveying device that forms a conveying path along which sheet-like objects are to be conveyed, and
- at least one arranged on the conveyor line roller assembly of the conveying device, which has at least one roller on which a sheet-like object is to be guided along a conveying direction.
Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die Beförderungseinrichtung eine thermische Erwärmungseinrichtung zum zumindest abschnittsweisen Erwärmen des blattförmigen Gegenstands aufweist, wobei die Erwärmungseinrichtung der mindestens einen Rolle gegenüberliegt derart, dass der blattförmige Gegenstand zwischen der mindestens einen Rolle und der Erwärmungseinrichtung entlang der Förderrichtung hindurchzuführen ist.It is provided that the conveying device has a thermal heating device for at least partially heating the sheet-shaped object, wherein the heating device of the at least one roller is opposite such that the sheet-like object between the at least one roller and the heating device is to be passed along the conveying direction.
Diesem liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, anstelle einer Strukturveränderung eine Erwärmung des blattförmigen Gegenstands bei einem Hindurchführen und damit eine Glättung durch Erwärmung zu bewirken.This is based on the idea, instead of a structural change, to bring about heating of the sheet-shaped object when it is passed through, and thus a smoothing by heating.
Zu den vorangehend geschilderten Maßnahmen zur Glättung von blattförmigen Gegenständen in einer Vorrichtung zur Verarbeitung solcher blattförmigen Gegenstände ist anzumerken, dass die beschriebenen Maßnahmen grundsätzlich an einer Förderstrecke einer Beförderungseinrichtung auch in Kombination vorgesehen sein können. Beispielsweise kann eine Beförderungseinrichtung eine thermische Erwärmungseinrichtung sowie profilierte Rollen zum Einformen einer Profilierung in einen blattförmigen Gegenstand aufweisen.With regard to the above-described measures for smoothing sheet-like objects in an apparatus for processing such sheet-shaped objects, it should be noted that the measures described can in principle also be provided in combination on a conveying path of a conveying device. For example, a conveying device may have a thermal heating device and profiled rollers for forming a profiling into a sheet-like object.

Bei dem dargestellten Beispiel ist das Profilelement der Rolle 500 des ersten Achselements 502A durch einen umlaufenden Steg 504 gebildet, der sich an der Mantelfläche 500A der Rolle 500 erstreckt und an der Mantelfläche 500A um die Drehachse 502 umfänglich umläuft. In komplementärer Weise ist an der Rolle 501 des zweiten Achselements 503A eine in die umfänglichen Mantelfläche 501A eingeformte Vertiefung vorgesehen, die nutförmig um die Mantelfläche 501A umläuft und sich umfänglich um die Drehachse 503 erstreckt. In diese nutförmige Vertiefung 505 der Rolle 501 des zweiten Achselements 503A ragt der umlaufende Steg 504 der Rolle 500 des ersten Achselements 502A hinein, wobei die Rollen 500, 501 vorzugsweise um einen Abstand A derart zueinander beabstandet sind, dass sich die Rollen 500, 501 nicht gegenseitig berühren.In the illustrated example, the profile element of the
Wird an den Rollen 500, 501 eine Banknote B entlang einer Förderstrecke 52 geführt, so rollen die Rollen 500, 501 entlang der Banknote B, wobei der Steg 504 an der Rolle 500 des ersten Achselements 502A sich entlang der Banknote B bewegt und diese in die nutförmige Vertiefung 505 der Rolle 501 des zweiten Achselements 503A hineindrückt, so dass ein Profil in die Banknote B entlang der Förderrichtung F hineingedrückt wird. Dieses Profil kann so klein sein, dass es für einen Nutzer, der die Banknote B in die Hand nimmt, kaum wahrnehmbar ist, dabei dennoch aber so versteifend wirkt, dass einer Wölbung der Banknote B entgegengewirkt wird.If a banknote B is guided along the conveying
Gemäß
Grundsätzlich denkbar in diesem Zusammenhang ist auch, dass an jedem Achselement 502A, 503A jeweils unterschiedliche Rollen vorgesehen sind. Beispielsweise kann jedes Achselement 502A, 503A Rollen tragen, von denen einige einen Steg 504 und andere eine Vertiefung 505 aufweisen und die jeweils komplementären Rollen des anderen Achselements 503A, 502A zugeordnet sind.It is also basically conceivable in this connection that different rollers are provided on each
Denkbar und möglich ist auch, an einer Rolle 500 mehrere zueinander beabstandete, umlaufende Stege 504 vorzusehen, wobei in diesem Fall entsprechend an der zugeordneten Rolle 501 mehrere zueinander beabstandete, umlaufende Vertiefungen 505 vorgesehen sind.It is also conceivable and possible to provide a plurality of mutually spaced
Die Verzahnungen 506, 507 sind mit ihren Zähnen derart geformt, dass bei Einwirken auf eine Banknote B es zu keinem Zerreißen der Banknote kommt. Entsprechend können die Zähne der Verzahnungen 506, 507 beispielsweise an ihren Zahnspitzen abgerundet sein.The
Die Rollen 500, 501 können derart zueinander angeordnet sein, dass sich die Rollen 500, 501 nicht gegenseitig berühren. Die Verzahnungen 506, 507 ragen in diesem Fall ineinander hinein, wobei es jedoch zu keiner Berührung an den Zähnen der Verzahnungen 506, 507 kommt.The
Die Verzahnungen 506, 507 können, wie beispielhaft in
Denkbar ist aber auch, die Verzahnungen 506, 507 als Schrägverzahnungen auszugestalten, bei denen die Zahnrücken sich schräg zu den Drehachsen 502, 503 erstrecken.It is also conceivable, the

Bei diesem Beispiel sind die Rollen 500, 501 miteinander in Anlage, wobei bei einer Drehung der Rollen 500, 501 die Mantelflächen 500A, 501A der Rollen 500, 501 aneinander abrollen und die Profilelemente 508 der Rolle 501 rollend in die Mantelfläche 500A der Rolle 500 hineingedrückt werden. Durch Einwirkung der Profilelemente 508 auf eine zwischen den Rollen 500, 501 hindurchgeführte Banknote B kommt es zu einer Profilierung der Banknote B, die eine Glättung der Banknote B bewirken kann.In this example, the
Hierzu ist anzumerken, dass die Profilelemente der Rolle 501, die in die Mantelfläche 500A der Rolle 500 hineingedrückt werden, auch anders ausgestaltet sein können. Beispielsweise können die Profilelemente nach Art einer Verzahnung oder nach Art von einem oder mehreren umlaufenden Stegen ausgebildet sein. Wesentlich ist in diesem Zusammenhang nur, dass Profilelemente in die Mantelfläche 500A der Rolle 500 hineingedrückt werden können.It should be noted that the profile elements of the

Der der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Gedanke ist nicht auf die vorangehend geschilderten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt, sondern lässt sich grundsätzlich auch bei gänzlich anders gearteten Ausführungsformen verwirklichen.The idea underlying the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can in principle be realized even in completely different types of embodiments.
Den vorangehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen ist gemein, dass an Rollenordnungen Maßnahmen zur Glättung einer beförderten Banknote vorgesehen sind. Durch solche Maßnahmen kann eine Wölbung einer Banknote, die sie beispielsweise aufgrund ihrer Lagerung an einem Rollenspeicher angenommen hat, durch Strukturveränderung (Profilierung), durch Anbringen einer (Gegen-)Krümmung oder auch durch thermisches Einwirken reduziert oder gar aufgehoben werden, so dass eine Glättung der Banknote bewirkt wird.The exemplary embodiments described above have in common that measures for smoothing a transported bill are provided on roller orders. By such measures, a curvature of a banknote that it has adopted, for example, due to their storage on a reel storage through Structural change (profiling), reduced by attaching a (counter) curvature or by thermal action or even lifted, so that a smoothing of the bill is effected.
