In der Regel werden die losen Banknoten von einer Bedienperson zu Stapeln geformt, die in das Eingabefach des Vereinzeler eingelegt werden, damit die Banknoten einzeln vom Vereinzeler erfaßt werden können. Die einzelnen Banknoten werden anschließend in der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine bearbeitet. Dazu werden die Eigenschaften der Banknoten von Sensoren ermittelt, beispielsweise ihre Art, d. h. Denomination und Währung, ihre Echtheit, ihr Zustand, d. h. Verschmutzung, Beschädigungen usw., ihre Eignung für den weiteren Umlauf, ihre Lage und Orientierung usw. Abhängig von den ermittelten Eigenschaften erfolgt die weitere Bearbeitung der Banknoten, z. B. werden diese in bestimmte Ausgabefächer sortiert oder mittels eines Schredders zerstört, falls die Banknoten zu stark beschädigt oder verschmutzt sind, weshalb sie nicht mehr für den weiteren Umlauf geeignet sind.In the processing of banknotes with banknote processing machines, the preparation of the banknotes to be processed is of great importance, in particular the smoothest possible insertion of the loose banknotes into an input compartment of a separator of the banknote processing machine used. In general, the loose banknotes are formed by an operator into stacks, which are inserted into the input tray of the singler, so that the banknotes can be detected individually by the singler. The individual banknotes are then processed in the banknote processing machine. For this purpose, the properties of the banknotes are determined by sensors, for example their nature, i. H. Denomination and currency, their authenticity, their condition, d. H. Contamination, damage, etc., their suitability for further circulation, their location and orientation, etc. Depending on the properties determined the further processing of banknotes, z. B. these are sorted into certain output pockets or destroyed by a shredder, if the banknotes are too damaged or dirty, so they are no longer suitable for further circulation.
Falls es erforderlich ist verschiedene Gruppen von Banknoten voneinander zu trennen, z. B. Banknoten die von verschiedenen Einzahlern stammen, werden sogenannte Trennkarten zwischen die Banknoten der verschiedenen Einzahler eingelegt. Diese Trennkarten können von den Sensoren der verwendeten Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine erkannt werden, um die Banknoten der verschiedenen Einzahlungen voneinander zu trennen. Die Trennkarten können darüber hinaus Informationen aufweisen, die ebenfalls von den Sensoren erfaßt werden können, welche die verschiedenen Einzahler kennzeichnen, so dass die verschiedenen Einzahlungen dem jeweiligen Einzahler zugeordnet werden können.If it is necessary to separate different groups of banknotes, e.g. B. banknotes that come from different depositors, so-called separation cards are inserted between the banknotes of different depositors. These separation cards can be recognized by the sensors of the banknote processing machine used to separate the banknotes of the various deposits. The separation cards In addition, they may include information that may also be collected by the sensors identifying the various depositors so that the various deposits can be associated with the particular payee.

Das erste Zuführelement 3 kann sich entlang der mit A und B angegebenen Richtungen im Bereich 8, 9, d. h. zwischen einer ersten Position 10 und einer dritten Position 12, bewegen, zumindest jedoch in einem ersten Teilbereich 9 bewegen, d. h. zwischen einer zweiten Position 11 und der dritten Position 12. Das zweite Zuführelement 2 kann sich entlang der mit A und B angegebenen Richtungen in einem zweiten Teilbereich 8 des Bereichs 8, 9 bewegen, d. h. zwischen erster und zweiter Position 10 und 11. Zusätzlich kann das zweite Zuführelement 2 aus dem den Eingabebereich bildenden zweiten Teilbereich 8 herausbewegt werden, beispielsweise durch eine Bewegung in die Darstellungsebene der Figur hinein. Erstes und zweites Zuführelement 2 und 3 sind derart ausgebildet, dass sie so ineinander greifen können, dass das zweite Zuführelement 2 zwischen das erste Zuführelement 3 und auf diesem abgelegtes Blattgut eingreifen kann, wenn das zweite Zuführelement 2 in den zweiten Teilbereich 8 hineinbewegt wird. Beispielsweise können die Zuführelemente 2, 3 kammartige Strukturen aufweisen, die zueinander versetzt angeordnet sind.The

Das letzte, sich an der zweiten Position 11 befindliche Stück Blattgut bildet nunmehr die Auflagefläche für weiteres einzugebendes Blattgut, das z. B. wie in
Wie zuvor beschrieben, wird das erste Zuführelement 3, z. B. gesteuert mittels der Signale des Positionssensors 6 erneut in Richtung B bewegt. Entsprechend der Höhe h2 des zuletzt eingelegten Stapels Blattgut. Wie in
Anschließend wird das erste Zuführelement 3 in Richtung A bewegt und das Blattgut BN wird vom Vereinzeler 5 vereinzelt und dem Transportsystem übergeben, welches die einzelnen Stücke Blattgut in die mit T bezeichnete Richtung zur weiteren Bearbeitung transportiert (
Wie in
Anschließend wird das Blattgut vom zweiten Zuführelement 2 in Richtung A bewegt und dem Vereinzeler 5 zugeführt, während das erste Zuführelement 3 an der zweiten Position 11 verbleibt. In den dadurch zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Zuführelementen 2 und 3 freiwerdende Bereich (
Nach der Beendigung des Einlegen des weiteren Blattguts BN' wird, wie in
Anschließend wird, wie in
Erreicht das erste Zuführelement 3 erneut die zweite Position 11 (
Insgesamt wird das erste Zuführelement 3 somit einachsig, zumindest zwischen zweiter und dritter Position 11 und 12 hin- und herbewegt, wobei auch eine Bewegung bis zur ersten Position 10 möglich sein kann. Das zweite Zuführelement 2 wird dagegen schleifenartig bzw. mehrachsig zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Position 10 und 11 bewegt, wobei der Bereich zwischen erster und zweiter Position 10 und 11 den Eingabebereich für die Eingabe von Blattgut durch den Bediener definiert. Statt eines Bedieners kann die Eingabe des Blattguts auch automatisch erfolgen, beispielsweise mittels eines Roboters.Overall, the
Die Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine 20 weist einen Eingabebereich 8 für die Eingabe von Banknoten BN auf. Die Banknoten BN werden von einem Vereinzeler 5 vereinzelt und an ein Transportsystem 25 übergeben, welches die einzelnen Banknoten durch einen oder mehrere Sensoren 24 transportiert. Auf der Grundlage der von dem oder den Sensoren 24 gewonnen Signalen der Banknoten wird die jeweilige Banknote geprüft, wobei beispielsweise die Echtheit, Art (Währung, Denomination), der Zustand (Verschmutzung, Beschädigung) usw. festgestellt werden kann. In Abhängigkeit von der Prüfung werden die Banknoten bestimmten Ausgabefächern 27 zugewiesen, wozu Weichen 26 im Transportsystem 25 die jeweilige Banknote in das bestimmte Ausgabefach oder einen Schredder leiten. Zur Steuerung der Banknotebearbeitungsmaschine 20 und zur Auswertung der Sensorsignale kann eine nicht dargestellte Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen sein.The bank-
Weiterhin weist die Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine eine Vorrichtung für die kontinuierliche Vereinzelung von Blattgut, insbesondere Banknoten, auf, wie oben beschrieben. Die Vorrichtung besteht aus einem Eingabebereich 8, welcher einen zweiten Teilbereich für die Eingabe von Banknoten bildet und von einer ersten und zweiten Position 10 und 11 begrenzt wird. An den zweiten Teilbereich 8 schließt ein erster Teilbereich 9 an, der von der zweiten Position 11 sowie einer dritten Position 12 begrenzt wird. Erster und zweiter Teilbereich 9 und 8 sind gleichartig für die Aufnahme von Banknoten aufgebaut und weisen insbesondere die oben beschriebenen Begrenzungs- und Leitelemente auf. Für die Zuführung von zu vereinzelnden Banknoten BN zum Vereinzeler 5 ist eine Zuführeinrichtung 2, 3 vorgesehen, welche aus einem ersten und einem zweiten Zuführelement 3 und 2 besteht und sich sowohl innerhalb als auch außerhalb von erstem und zweiten Teilbereich 9 und 8 bewegen kann. Wie oben beschrieben, bewegt sich das erste Zuführelement 3 einachsig zumindest im ersten Teilbereich 9. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass das erste Zuführelement 3 seine einachsige Bewegung auch innerhalb des zweiten Teilbereichs 8 ausführt. Wie ebenfalls oben beschrieben, führt das zweite Zuführelement 2 eine mehrachsige, insbesondere schleifenförmige Bewegung zwischen erster und zweiter Position 10 und 11 durch, wobei ein Teil der schleifenförmigen Bewegung außerhalb des zweiten Teilbereichs 8 erfolgt. Die Vorrichtung für die kontinuierliche Vereinzelung wird ebenfalls von der Steuereinrichtung gesteuert.Furthermore, the bank-note processing machine has an apparatus for the continuous separation of sheet material, in particular banknotes, as described above. The device consists of an
Zur Reduzierung von durch die Vorrichtung bzw. die Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine 20 verursachten Geräuschen kann eine Abdeckung 21 für den Eingabebereich 8 vorgesehen sein, die nur geöffnet wird, damit Banknoten BN in den Eingabebereich 8 eingelegt werden können. Dazu kann beispielsweise ein Sensor 23 vorhanden sein, der die Annäherung einer Bedienperson an den Eingabebereich feststellt und die Abdeckung 21 in diesem Fall in Richtung 22 öffnet. Bei geöffneter Abdeckung 21 kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das erste Zuführelement 3 nicht bewegt solange die Bedienperson in den Eingabebereich 8 eingreift, damit Banknoten auf das erste Zuführelement 3 aufgelegt werden können. Hat sich die Bedienperson nach dem Einlegen eines ersten Stapels von Banknoten in das Eingabebereich 8 aus dem Erfassungsbereich des Sensors 23 herausbewegt, wird das erste Zuführelement 3 in der oben beschriebenen weise derart in den für die Bedienperson normalerweise nicht zugänglichen ersten Teilbereich 9 bewegt, dass sich das letzte Blatt des Stapels von Blattgut an der zweiten Position 11 befindet. Daraufhin kann der Vorgang wie oben beschrieben fortgesetzt werden und weiteres Blattgut eingelegt werden.In order to reduce noise caused by the device or the bank-
Nachdem der Vorgang des Einlegens von Blattgut beendet ist, kann die Abdeckung 21 zur Geräuschreduzierung wieder in Richtung 22 geschlossen werden. Dazu kann beispielsweise mittels des Sensors 23 festgestellt werden, ob die Bedienperson über einen vorgegebenen Zeitraum nicht mehr in den Eingabebereich eingegriffen hat. Statt des Sensors 23 kann auch eine Bedieneinrichtung zum Starten der Bewegung der Abdeckung 21 und/oder des ersten Zuführelements 3 vorgesehen sein, die von der Bedienperson betätigt wird. Ebenso kann es vorgesehen sein, dass der zuvor beschriebenen Sensor 6 der Vorrichtung für die Vereinzelung an Stelle des gerade beschriebenen Sensors 23 verwendet wird.After the operation of loading sheet material is completed, the
Da in den Eingabebereich 8 eingegebene Banknoten in den an den Eingabebereich 8 angrenzenden ersten Teilbereich 9 verbracht werden, wird die Kapazität für die Aufnahme von Banknoten beim Eingeben der Banknoten in den Eingabebereich 8 wesentlich vergrößert, nämlich um den ersten Teilbereich 9, der normalerweise nicht zugänglich ist, da er vom Gehäuse 20' der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine 20 oder von einer weiteren Abdeckung verschlossen und unzugänglich ist. Idealerweise wird zudem die Lage der zweiten Position 11 derart gewählt, dass sie für die Bedienperson aus ergonomischer Sicht bei der Eingabe von Stapeln von Banknoten günstig angeordnet ist. Dadurch kann die Bedienperson auch große Mengen von Banknoten ermüdungsfrei und mit geringer körperlicher Belastung in den Eingabebereich einlegen, da nach dem Einlegen eines Stapels von Banknoten der jeweils eingelegte Stapel vom ersten Zuführelement 3 in den ersten Teilbereich 9 verbracht wird, so dass der nächste einzulegende Stapel wieder an der ergonomisch günstigen zweiten Position 11 eingelegt werden kann.Since banknotes entered into the
Wie im Zusammenhang mit den
Zur Vermeidung derartiger Bearbeitungsfehler ist eine Überwachungseinrichtung 30 vorgesehen, die an den ersten Teilbereich 9 in der dritten Position 12 anschließt. Die Überwachungseinheit 30 überwacht, ob Blattgut, insbesondere eine oder mehrere Banknoten BN', wie zuvor beschrieben, in den ersten Teilbereich 9 gelangt. In diesem Fall ermittelt die Überwachungseinheit 30 die unzulässige Anwesenheit der Banknote BN' und meldet dies der Steuereinrichtung der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine 20. Die Steuereinrichtung kann dann auf einer Anzeige der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine 20 einen Warnhinweise erzeugen, um eine Bedienperson auf die unzulässige Anwesenheit der Banknote BN' hinzuweisen. In diesem Fall kann es weiter vorgesehen sein, dass die weitere Eingabe von Banknoten in das Eingabefach 8 durch die Steuereinrichtung verhindert wird. Dazu kann beispielsweise ein entsprechender Hinweis auf der Anzeige erzeugt werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Abdeckung 21 geschlossen werden oder nicht geöffnet werden, bis alle im Eingabefach 8 befindlichen Banknoten BN der augenblicklich bearbeiteten Einzahlung bearbeitet sind. Danach wird die Bedienperson aufgefordert, das Gehäuse 20' oder die weitere Abdeckung zu öffnen, um die Situation im ersten Teilbereich 9 zu überprüfen. Findet die Bedienperson bei der Überprüfung eine oder mehrere Banknoten BN' vor, so entnimmt sie diese und schließt das Gehäuse 20' oder die weitere Abdeckung. Danach überprüft die Überwachungseinrichtung 30 erneut ob Banknoten vorhanden sind. Werden keine Banknoten festgestellt, kann die Steuereinrichtung einen Hinweis über die Anzeige darstellen, dass die entnommenen Banknoten BN' der zuvor bearbeiteten Einzahlung zugerechnet werden. Dies kann durch eine Eingabe der Bedienperson mit der Bedieneinrichtung, z. B. mittels einer Tastatur oder eines Touchscreens erfolgen. Wahlweise kann die Bedienperson die entnommenen Banknoten BN' auch in das Eingabefach 8 einlegen, damit diese automatisch von der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine 20 bearbeitet und der zugehörigen Einzahlung gutgeschrieben werden.To avoid such processing errors, a
Die Überwachungseinrichtung 30 wird von einer Wandung 31, z. B. aus Metall, gebildet, die eine Vertiefung 32 aufweist, die z. B. trichterförmig sein kann. Die Vertiefung 32 oder Teile 33 der Vertiefung können eine spiegelnde Oberfläche aufweisen. Eine Lichtschranke 34, 35, mit einem Sender 34 und Empfänger 35, ist im Bereich der Vertiefung 32 derart angeordnet, dass ein vom Sender 34 ausgehender Lichtstrahl 36 im Bereich der spiegelnden Oberfläche 33 so reflektiert wird, dass er zum Empfänger 35 gelangt. Befindet sich eine Banknote BN' im Bereich der Vertiefung 32, wird der Strahlengangs 36 unterbrochen und die Lichtschranke 34, 35, und die Überwachungseinrichtung 30 meldet die Anwesenheit der Banknote BN' der Steuereinrichtung der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine 20.The
Um Fehlfunktionen der Überwachungseinrichtung 30 zu vermeiden, kann es vorgesehen sein, dass eine Reinigungseinrichtung im Bereich der Vertiefung 32 angeordnet ist. Die Reinigungseinrichtung kann Saugdüsen aufweisen, die dazu verwendet werden, sich ansammelnden Schmutz, z. B. Staub, zu entfernen, damit dieser nicht irrtümlich die Anwesenheit einer Banknote vortäuscht. Dazu können die Saugdüsen z. B. in gewissen zeitlichen Abständen mit einem Unterdruck beaufschlagt werden, damit der Schmutz abgesaugt wird. Statt Saugdüsen zu verwenden, können auch Druckluftdüsen verwendet werden, die z. B. in gewissen zeitlichen Abständen mit Druckluft beaufschlagt werden, um vorhanden Schmutz wegzublasen.In order to avoid malfunctions of the
Statt der zuvor beschriebenen Lichtschranke 34, 35 kann jeder andere Sensor oder Detektor verwendet werden, um die An- oder Abwesenheit von Banknoten zu ermitteln, z. B. ein Ultraschallsender und -empfänger, ein kapazitiver oder induktiver Näherungssensor usw. Bei der Verwendung anderer Sensoren oder Detektoren kann es erforderlich sein, den zuvor beschriebenen Aufbau der Wandung 31 der Überwachungseinrichtung 30 anzupassen. Beispielsweise durch die Verwendung eines anderen Materials für die Wandung 31, oder durch eine andere Form.Instead of the
Abweichend von der vorherigen Beschreibung der Überwachungseinrichtung 30, bei der die Überwachungseinrichtung 30 im Bereich der dritten Position 12 an den ersten Teilbereich 9 anschließt, kann die Überwachungseinrichtung stattdessen oder zusätzlich den ersten Teilbereich 9 auf die An- oder Abwesenheit von Banknoten BN' überwachen. Dazu kann es vorgesehen sein, die oben beschriebene Lichtschranke und/oder die anderen Sensoren oder Detektoren in den ersten Teilbereich 9 zu integrieren. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass immer nur der Bereich des ersten Teilbereichs 9 auf die unbeabsichtigte Anwesenheit von Banknoten überwacht wird, der sich unterhalb des ersten Zuführelements 3 befindet. Ansonsten könnte die reguläre Anwesenheit des ersten Zuführelements 3 und eventuell darauf befindlicher Banknoten eine Fehlmeldung der Überwachungseinrichtung 30 verursachen.Deviating from the previous description of the
