Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for processing sheet material, in particular a bank note processing machine, wherein the sheet material is transported in a transport path of a conveyor belt between at least two opposing components of a test device.
  • the conveyor belt is used to guide and to press the sheet material against opposite means of transport and against intermediate tracks or test equipment.
  • the transport means are usually transport rollers or rollers or a second conveyor belt, which is returned by means of deflection rollers either directly in front of and behind the test device or guided around the test device.
  • the conveyor belt or conveyor belts can also be replaced by a plurality of narrow, flat or round belts.
  • the first conveyor belt in the area of the test device guiding and pressing function hinders the implementation of a transmission measurement on the sheet material.
  • a dirt measurement is also hindered since the sheet material usually has to be illuminated from both sides in such a measurement. Therefore, the first conveyor belt becomes common divided into parts and replaced by a plurality of narrow, parallel to each other in the transport direction and spaced apart belt. But even so, a full-surface measurement of the sheet material over its entire width and for both surfaces of the sheet material is not possible.
  • the positions of the straps are rather than dark vertical stripes in the evaluation of z. B. transmitted light or ultrasound noticeable.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to propose a device for processing sheet material, in addition to good quality sheet material and poor quality sheet material is reliably passed to a test device such that it is testable on both sides or in transmission.
  • the device according to the invention for processing sheet material comprises a transport path for the sheet material, at least one test device for testing the sheet material with at least two components lying opposite each other along the transport path, a control device for evaluating signals of the at least one Testing device, and a conveyor belt as part of the transport path, for the transport of the sheet material, wherein the conveyor belt consists of several parts, in particular belt, wherein at least one part of the conveyor belt is directed away in the transport direction in front of the at least one test device from the transport path by means of at least one deflecting element , so that the sheet material in the detection range of the test device is at least partially without guidance by the conveyor belt, to the sheet transported in the transport path to the free of the conveyor belt n areas to be detected by means of the at least one testing device, wherein at least one other part of the conveyor belt transports the sheet material in the detection
  • the invention is based on the consideration that in particular sheet quality of poor quality makes high demands in the processing, since on the one hand must be ensured that the sheet material safely, ie without causing congestion, must be transported. On the other hand, it must be possible to check the sheet material very thoroughly. This is achieved by the flexible use of parts of the conveyor belt is provided in the field of testing facilities, on the one hand to ensure safe transport and on the other hand to be able to examine the sheet material as extensive and complete. For this purpose, data is stored in the device, from which it can be determined which areas in the respective test device are occupied by parts of the conveyor belt and which areas in the respective test device are free of parts of the conveyor belt.
  • the likelihood of disturbances during transport of the sheet material decreases.
  • eliminating parts of the conveyor belt means that large parts of the sheet material can be checked.
  • FIG. 1 schematically a section of an apparatus for processing sheet material, in particular a bank note processing apparatus, shown with a total of five places for testing facilities 10 to 50.
  • Sheet goods or banknotes 100 are along a transport path 1 to test facilities 10 to 50 passed.
  • the transport path 1 is formed on one side of the transported banknotes by a conveyor belt 2 and on the other side by transport rollers 3 spaced from each other in the transport direction.
  • the banknotes 100 are held between the conveyor belt 2 and the opposite transport rollers 3 and guided past the testing devices 10 to 50, which are each arranged between two adjacent transport rollers 3.
  • the conveyor belt 2 can exert a pressing force on the transported banknotes 100 in the direction of the testing equipment without additional pressure means.
  • transport rollers 3 may optionally be provided other Tränsportsch.
  • the test facilities may also have a different arc than the described arrangement.
  • the transport rollers 3 may be deflection rollers of a further conveyor belt opposite the conveyor belt 2.
  • the testing equipment and the transport route as in the above-mentioned EP 1 663 829 B1 be constructed and arranged.
  • all five test devices 10 to 50 are present, wherein the first three test devices 10 to 30 in the transport direction of the transport path 1 and the last test device 50 are adapted to detect the banknotes transported past them on one side.
  • the fourth tester 40 is a transmission sensor which requires the illumination of the banknotes 100 from the opposite banknote side by means of a radiation source 41 to provide measurement results.
  • the conveyor belt 2 is in the concerned by means of first guide rollers 6 at least partially away from the transport path 1 4, for example, guided around the radiation source 41 and fed by second deflection rollers 7 again the transport line 1 5.
  • these from the radiation source 41 at least in irradiated all areas and transmission signals of the banknotes 100 are detected by the sensor 42, which are free from the conveyor belt 2.
  • a second sensor is provided to detect the transported through the transport path 1 banknotes on both sides. It is obvious that in this case both the sensor 42 and the second sensor located on the opposite side of the transport path 1 can have radiation sources tuned to the sensors.
  • Radiation source 41 and sensor 42 may for example be designed for electromagnetic radiation, for example in the range of 100 to 3000 nm, in particular in the range of 300 to 2000 nm, or acoustic radiation, in particular in the ultrasonic range. The same applies to the second sensor described above.
  • the test devices 10 to 50 are connected to a control device 60 (shown only for test device 40), which evaluates the signals of the test devices 10 to 50.
  • the test by the test devices 10 to 50 and the evaluation of the signals of the test devices 10 to 50 is known per se, and will not be described in more detail since they are not important in connection with the present invention.
  • Software and data required for testing and evaluating the signals of the test devices 10 to 50 are stored in a memory of the control device 60 deposited.
  • the further processing of the bank notes 100 in the bank note processing device is controlled by the control device 60, for example to sort the bank notes 100 according to certain criteria, such as their denomination and / or state.
  • FIG. 2 shows a detail in more detail FIG. 1 in the region of the test device 40.
  • the conveyor belt 2 consists of several parts, namely a plurality of individual, parallel adjacent belts 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, in particular round belt.
  • three belts 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 are shown, but it is also possible to use more or fewer belts, in particular two, four or five belts.
  • a first belt 2.1 is returned from the transport path 1 (see reference numeral 4) and returned to the transport path 1 by means of a second deflection roller 7.1 (see reference numeral 5).
  • the first belt 2.1 in the region of the test device 40 is removed from the detection range of the sensor 42, as in FIG FIG. 2 indicated by dotted lines 2.1 '.
  • the sensor 42 it is possible for the sensor 42 to detect a transmission signal of the banknote 100 to be checked.
  • the representation of the sensor 42 opposite radiation source 41 has been omitted.
  • the test device 40 as described above, also have two sensors for detecting the two surfaces of the banknote 100.
  • FIG. 2 can be seen by the routing of a portion of the conveyor belt, namely the belt 2.1, in particular the edge region of the Banknote 100 for inspection by the test device 40 accessible because it is no longer covered by the belt 2.1, as indicated by the dotted line 2.1 '.
  • adhesive tapes 102 which are used in particular in the edge area of banknotes 100, and which are used to glue cracks 101 present in the banknote 100.
  • the third belt 2.3 of the conveyor belt 2 covering the other edge region of the banknote 100 can also be led away from the region of the test device 40 by means of deflecting rollers 6.3 and 7.3. This can be done optionally or in addition to the routing of the first belt 2.1 of the conveyor belt 2. It is important that at least the second belt 2.2 of the conveyor belt 2 is still present, so that the banknote 100 can be transported safely.
  • one or more belts of the conveyor belt 2 are guided away from the area of the test device 30 by means of deflection rollers can be as long as at least one belt for the transport of the banknote 100 remains. This is especially true for the above-mentioned case that the conveyor belt 2 has more or less belt than in the example shown in the figures.
  • software and data for the evaluation of the signals of the test devices 10 to 50 are stored in a memory of the control device 60.
  • the data required for the evaluation of the signals of the testing devices 10 to 50 it is additionally deposited which parts of the conveyor belt 2, that is to say which of the belts 2.1 to 2.3, are present or are diverted in the area of the testing device 40.
  • a so-called flag for the belts 2.1 to 2.3 may be set, which are present in the area of the test device 40 and thus cover the test device 40 in this area.
  • a flag can be realized, for example, by a bit in the memory of the control device 60, which is set to the value "1" if a belt 2.1 to 2.3 is present in the region of the test device 40.
  • the bit is set to the value "0" if no belt 2.1 to 2.3 is present.
  • the bit for the belt 2.1 is thus set to the value "0"
  • the two bits for the belts 2.2 and 2.3 are set to the value "1”.
  • corresponding flags in the memory of the control device 60 can also be set for these testing devices 10 to 30 and 50.
  • all test devices 10 to 50 can be set to generally provide flags for the belts 2.1 to 2.3 of the conveyor belt in the memory of the control device 60. In this case, the flags for all test devices 10 to 50 can be set to the value "1" in advance, for example.
  • the flags for the testers 10 to 50 need to be set to the value "0", where one or more of the belts 2.1 to 2.3 is diverted or are.
  • the flags may, for example, by means of an operating device connected to the control device, for. As a keyboard with a screen or a touch screen, set.
  • the test devices 10 to 50 ie one or more belts 2.1 to 2.3 can be routed away from the area of the respective test device 10 to 50 on each of the test devices 10 to 50 and corresponding data in the form of flags for the respective test device 10 to 50 are stored in the memory of the controller 60.
