Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for separating sheet material, in particular banknotes, checks and the like, with a suction device for sucking transported sheet material.
- An apparatus for separating sheet material may, for example, be provided in an apparatus for processing sheet material, such as an ATM or a banknote processing apparatus, in order to separate sheet material from a sheet material stack.
- the separating device may be formed as a separating roller, which comprises a first part in the form of a substantially cylindrical stator and a second part in the form of a rotor which rotates about the stator.
- the stator has at least one opening, which is acted upon by a negative pressure.
- the opening of the stator may be along the length of the stator and over a certain opening angle in the circumferential direction, which may extend from an opening edge.
- the rotor also has at least one opening, usually a plurality of openings or bores, which overlap with the opening of the stator during rotation of the rotor about the stator and thereby define an opening area.
- a suction area in the circumferential direction is formed in which sheet material to be separated is sucked in and drawn off from a sheet material stack.
- the verzeier acts like a kind of rotary valve to suck sheet material in the intake.
- Such a device for separating sheet material is known for example from DE 199 53 968 AI.
- Object of the present invention is to propose a device for separating sheet material, which has a further reduced noise level during operation.
- An apparatus for separating sheet material comprises a suction device having a first part and a second part which is movable relative to the first part.
- the first part has at least one first opening and the second part at least one second opening, which overlap on a movement of the second part relative to the first part and thereby define an opening area with a first end and a second end.
- the opening portion extends from the first end to the second end, ie, in the movement of the second part relative to In the first part, the openings of the first and second parts at the first end begin to overlap.
- a part of the opening area between the first end and the second end forms a suction region, in which the sheet material to be separated can be sucked by the suction device.
- the first part has a connection for applying a negative pressure, which communicates with the at least one first opening, ie the first part is acted upon by a negative pressure.
- the first end of the opening area is arranged at a distance from the suction area.
- the suction area coincides with the opening area, so that the first end of the opening area is also an end of the suction area.
- the opening pop is formed in the known device at the exposed first end directly in the separating gap, where it can not be insulated and often points in the direction of a user.
- the first end of the opening area that is, the location where the opening pop is formed by the incipient overlap of the openings, is in a region remote from the suction area.
- the first end is thus in an area of the device in which no sheet material is transported, so that there is the possibility of damaging the resulting noise, for example, by a corresponding housing.
- the first end is then advantageously removed by an operator, so that the operator is exposed to less noise.
- a further advantage of the arrangement according to the invention of the first end of the opening area spaced from the suction area is that the energy consumption of the device can be reduced.
- the negative pressure must be built up very quickly, since the Intake is congruent with the opening area.
- the distance from the first end of the opening area to the suction area can be utilized to build a negative pressure in the openings of the second part. In this period, a vacuum can be built with reduced power consumption.
- the first part of the suction device is formed as a substantially cylindrical stator and the second part as a substantially cylindrical, arranged around the stator and rotatable rotor.
- the suction device is thus preferably designed as separator roller. This works on the principle of a rotary vane pump. It goes without saying that the device for separating sheet material can, for example, also be designed such that the second part moves in a linear movement relative to the first part.
- the first end of the opening region along the circumference of the suction device is preferably at least 45 °, preferably at least 60 °, more preferably at least 90 °, further preferably at least 120 ° away from the suction region.
- the distance between the first end of the opening portion and the suction portion may be selected such that effective noise reduction can be achieved.
- the first part of the suction device which may be designed in particular as a stator, may be formed such that the first opening extends along its longitudinal direction and has an opening edge which extends along the longitudinal direction.
- the opening edge defines the first end of the opening portion, the first opening being spaced from the opening edge along the circumference of the stator through an angle of extends at least 120 °, preferably at least 150 °, more preferably at least 180 °.
- a smaller opening angle for example of 90 °, may be sufficient if the first end of the opening area is arranged at a distance from the suction area.
- the distance between the first end of the opening area and the suction area can be determined. A larger distance can be advantageous.
- the first end of the opening portion may be along a diameter of the stator opposite to the suction portion.
- the device has a guide that can define a beginning of the intake.
- the guide device can be designed, for example, as a guide plate against which a sheet material stack rests before being singulated.
- the guide may be formed as an air guide plate, which directs the sheet material to be separated by means of compressed air in a desired direction, in particular in the direction of the suction of the suction device.
- the first end of the opening portion is preferably in the direction of movement of the second part behind the guide, so that the first end of the opening portion is not exposed.
- the opening edge can run at an angle to the longitudinal axis, so that the opening area does not start as a whole abruptly. Alternatively or additionally, the opening edge can be started. This allows a smooth opening when overlapping the opening of the stator and the openings of the rotor compared to an opening edge without chamfer.
- the device has a cover which covers the first end of the opening area.
- the cover is preferably configured to damp a noise which occurs at the beginning of the overlap of the first opening and the second opening at the first end of the opening area.
- the cover may be made of a sound absorbing material and / or be shaped accordingly.
- the second part which may be designed in particular as a rotor, may have features that may contribute to noise reduction.
- the second part may have a plurality of the second openings, which are arranged in rows transversely to the direction of movement of the second part. If the second part is designed as a cylindrical rotor, the rows can extend in particular along the length parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotor.
- the plurality of second openings can be arranged offset in adjacent rows. This leads to a staggered opening.
- the plurality of second openings in different rows may have different sizes. In this case, preferably, those openings which overlap first with the opening of the first part relative to the first part during the movement of the second part may be designed to be smaller, so that the sheet material is attracted to the suction device with increasing force.
- FIG. 2 shows a device for separating sheet material according to the invention
- Fig. 3 shows the stator of the apparatus of FIG. 2 and
- Fig. 4 shows various schematic representations of openings of a rotor of a device for separating sheet material.
- a device 1 for separating sheet material, in particular bank notes, is shown schematically, as it is known from the prior art.
- the device 1 has a suction device 2 in the form of a separator roller with a stator 10 and a rotor 20 rotatable about the stator 10. The direction of movement of the rotor 20 is indicated by the arrow 3.
- the suction device 2 is arranged in a housing 6 in contrast to the prior art.
- a stack of sheet material 100 for example a stack of banknotes, is fed to the apparatus 1 and abuts against a guide 4 in the form of an air guide plate, which conveys the uppermost piece of sheet material 100 from the stack by means of compressed air in the direction of the suction device 2.
- the retainer 5 may also act by means of compressed air and be formed similarly to an air guide plate, which uses the hydrodynamic paradox occurring at the air guide plate in conjunction with the dynamic pressure forces to retain the pieces of sheet material following the uppermost piece.
- the retainer 5 can act with negative pressure to retain the pieces of sheet material following the uppermost piece.
- the retaining device 5 can also be designed as a roller which rotates in opposite directions to the singling cylinder 2. For restraint of the sheet material has the role of friction areas or also acts by means of negative pressure. After separation, the separated sheet material is removed by means of a transport device 7 in a transport direction 8.
- the access 14 is connected to a device for generating a negative pressure (not shown).
- the access 14 is formed here as a central bore along the longitudinal axis of the stator 10, but may be configured as desired in order to pressurize the stator 10 with a negative pressure.
- the access 14 communicates with an opening 11 of the stator 10 which extends along the length of the stator 10 and circumferentially from an opening edge 12 to an edge 13. The opening
- stator 11 forms an open sector of the stator 10, which may extend over an angle of 60 °, for example.
- the rotor 20 has a plurality of openings 21 which overlap with the opening 11 of the stator 10 upon rotation of the rotor 20 about the stator 10.
- the overlap begins during the rotation of the rotor 20 at the opening edge 12 and ends at the edge 13.
- an opening portion 30 is defined with a first end 31 and a second end 32, ie that portion along the circumference of the suction device 2, in which fitting negative pressure can pass through the openings 21.
- a suction region 40 is simultaneously formed with a first end 41 and a second end 42 along the circumference of the suction device 2, in which sheet material 100 to be separated can be sucked.
- the opening area 30 and the suction area 40 are congruent.
- the first end 31 of the opening region 30 or the first end 41 of the suction region 40 is located with respect to the direction of movement 3 in front of an edge of the air guide plate 4 or optionally at the same height relative to the circumference of the suction device 2.
- the sheet material 100 to be separated is sucked into the suction region 40 and when the second end 32 of the opening area 30 or the second end 42 of the suction area 40 is reached, it is released again, since the openings 21 of the rotor 20 are closed again by the rotation of the rotor 20. After the intermittent drive by the separator roller 2, the sheet material can then be removed by means of the transport device 7.
- this opening blast can occur, for example, 44 times per second.
- the device 1 for separating sheet material 100 is similar in many parts to the known device described in connection with FIG. However, it differs in the configuration of the opening 11 of the stator 10.
- the opening 11 extends in comparison to the known device over a much wider peripheral portion of the stator 10, so that the first end 31 of the opening portion 30, which through the opening edge 12th the opening 11 is formed, is spaced from the suction area 40.
- the opening area 30 fall and the suction portion 40 are not together, but the suction portion 40 is only a part of the opening portion 30.
- the corresponding first ends 31 and 41 do not coincide, but the first end 31 of the opening portion 30 is spaced from the first end 41 of the suction portion 40 , In this embodiment, the distance of the first ends 31 and 41 along the circumference is about 150 °.
- the cover or the housing 6 is formed of a sound absorbing material. It surrounds the region of the separator roller 2, in which the first end 31 of the opening portion 30 is arranged and preferably also the end faces of the singler roller 2.
- the noise level of the device 1 during operation can be significantly reduced in this way. Exemplary measurements of the sound level at the center of the singler roller 2 at a distance of 20 mm resulted in a reduction of 1.5 dB (A) without the housing 6. With housing, for example, a further reduction of 1 dB (A) can be achieved.
- the power consumption of the device can be reduced, since the vacuum necessary for separation does not have to be abruptly available, as is the case in the device according to FIG. 1, where the first end 31 of the opening region 30 and the first end 41 of FIG Intake area 40 coincide.
- the first end 31 of the opening region 30 is spaced from the first end 41 of the suction region 40, so that this distance can be used to achieve a sufficient negative pressure at the openings 21.
- the total applied to the stator 10 negative pressure may be lower
- the generation of the negative pressure from overpressure can take place by means of the ejector principle. This makes it possible to dispense with a separate unit for vacuum generation, resulting in further improvements in energy consumption and noise reduction.
- FIG. 3 the stator 10 of the device 1 of FIG. 2 is shown in a perspective view view.
- a nozzle 16 is used for connection to a device for generating a negative pressure, which rests on the access 14 at the opening 11.
- the opening edge 12 of the opening 11 which is arranged obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stator 10 in order to further reduce the noise level, i. it does not run parallel, but at an angle to the longitudinal axis.
- This ensures that not all openings 21 of the rotor 20 open simultaneously, but gradually.
- a gentle opening is achieved by a chamfer 15 at the opening edge 12.
- the opening blast is reduced when the openings 21 of the rotor 20 strike the opening edge 12.
- FIG. 4 various patterns are schematically shown, in which the openings 21 along the rotor 20 may be arranged.
- the openings are all the same size and evenly arranged in rows.
- a time-delayed opening can be achieved, similar to the inclination of the opening edge 12 of the opening 11, whereby a noise reduction can be achieved.
- the openings 21 may be of different sizes.
- a striking of the sheet material 100 is reduced to the rotor 20, which may also cause a disturbing noise.
- a smoother nestling of the sheet material 100 onto the rotor 20 can be achieved since the sheet material 100 is attracted to the rotor 20 with a rising force and not abruptly.
