Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for aligning banknotes during transport along a transport route, for example within an ATM or an automatic cash deposit or a cash register system.
  • the banknote or checks may be in the banknote, which are to be supplied to a receiving area of a cassette for storing notes or these have been taken.
  • the device contains at least one transport element for transporting the security note along the transport route.
  • the transport element is driven by means of at least one first drive unit.
  • the device further comprises at least one counter-pressure element arranged opposite the transport element.
  • the transport element can be designed in particular as a roll, roller or belt.
  • banknotes to be entered are transported from an input tray into a receiving area and / or issued banknotes from a receiving area to an output tray.
  • the receiving area may be provided by a transport cassette for storing and transporting the notes of value.
  • the usually rectangular shaped banknotes are aligned with their longitudinal axis transversely to the transport direction. Such alignment is also referred to as long-side-first alignment.
  • the risk of paper jamming is particularly high for used banknotes, as the stiffness of such banknotes decreases with use and the contamination of the surface of the banknotes increases.
  • the notes of value can lead to a Schiefeinzug or Schiefzug the notes of value during transport.
  • the notes of value may have a lateral offset and / or an angular offset to a desired desired position, so that they should be aligned.
  • a device for aligning notes of value is for example from the document DE 10 2004 060 191 A1 known.
  • lateral guide elements such as those used for aligning and guiding single sheets in printers or copiers, are dispensed with.
  • the use of lateral guide elements would lead to misalignment and / or jamming due to paper jams due to the different stiffness and different edge quality of banknotes.
  • Other devices for aligning notes are from the documents DE10 2008 050 534 A1 .
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for aligning a bill of exchange, by which at least one lateral offset of the banknote can be corrected during its transport along a transport path in a simple manner.
  • the counter-pressure element is in contrast to the known prior art spherical and freely rotatably mounted. Furthermore, a second drive unit is provided for displacing the spherical counter-pressure element oppositely arranged transport element along its axis of rotation, so that an arranged between the transport element and the counter-pressure value is moved when moving the transport element transversely to the transport direction. If the banknote is additionally moved in the direction of transport or in the opposite transport direction by means of a drive through the first drive unit with the aid of the transport element, a simultaneous transport of the bill of exchange proceeds obliquely to the transport direction, so that a lateral offset is generated. This is a very compact and robust construction of the device possible.
  • the device according to the invention may alternatively or additionally be used in devices for handling banknotes, such as ATMs, automatic cash safes, ticket machines or POS systems.
  • the first drive unit drives the transport element via at least one drive shaft.
  • a simple drive of the transport element is possible.
  • the transport element can be easily moved together with or on the drive shaft by means of the second drive unit.
  • the spherical counterpressure element presses a value note arranged between the transport element and the counterpressure element against the lateral surface of the transport element.
  • the transport element may be arranged in a constant distance with respect to a transport plane of the transport path, so that the transport element itself exerts no force on a arranged between the transport element and a counter-pressure value note orthogonal to the transport plane, whereas the counter-pressure element is a force on the note in the direction of the transport element exerts.
  • This pressure force is substantially orthogonal or oblique to the transport plane.
  • the second drive unit shifts the transport element, so that the transport of the currency note takes place at an angle to the transport direction.
  • the note is simultaneously moved transversely to the transport direction and transported in the transport direction.
  • the bill of exchange regardless of whether a transport of the bill of exchange transversely to the transport direction for reducing or correcting a lateral offset of the bill in the transport direction takes place or not continuously moved in the transport direction T1.
  • the bill of exchange passes through the device at the same time, regardless of whether the bill of exchange is moved transversely to the transport direction during transport through the device by means of the second drive unit or not.
  • the transport element rotatably connected to at least one drive shaft and is axially displaceable on this. This results in a simple drive of the transport element at the same speed, with which the drive shaft is driven. Due to the axial displaceability of the transport element on the drive shaft, the transport element can be easily moved transversely to the transport direction by means of the second drive unit. As a result, a simple and compact construction of the device is achieved.
  • the transport element comprises at least one pair of rollers, whose roles over a Connecting element with circumferential toothing are connected in the manner of a rack and that the connecting element is arranged together with the rollers along the axis of rotation of the rollers slidably mounted on at least one drive shaft.
  • the circumferential toothing is preferably in engagement with a toothed wheel which can be driven by means of the second drive unit.
  • the second drive unit is preferably an electric motor, in particular a stepping motor.
  • the transport path of the notes of value is limited by a first guide element and by a second guide element, wherein the first guide element the second guide element is arranged opposite to such that it can be pivoted from an operating position to a maintenance position.
  • easy access to the transport route and the transport elements is possible during paper jams or for maintenance purposes.
  • the guide elements can not be arranged pivotally to each other.
  • At least two spherical counter-pressure elements are provided, which are preferably arranged in each case opposite a roller of a driven roller pair serving as a transport element. It is advantageous if the first spherical counter-pressure element is freely rotatably arranged in a first bearing unit and if the second spherical counter-pressure element is freely rotatable in a second bearing unit.
  • the bearing units may in this case be pivotally connected to the first guide element, wherein the first spherical counter-pressure element protrudes through an opening of the first bearing unit, which is preferably dimensioned so that the first spherical counter-pressure element can not be moved completely through the opening.
  • the second spherical counter-pressure element protrudes through an opening of the second bearing unit, which is preferably dimensioned so that the second spherical counter-pressure element is not completely through the Opening can be moved through. This ensures that the serving as a counter-pressure element balls can not fall out of the bearing units when the counter-pressure elements are lifted from the opposite transport element or from the opposite roles of the roller pair.
  • bearing shells may be provided in which the balls of the spherical counter-pressure elements are freely rotatably mounted.
  • the device comprises at least one elastically deformable element, which generates a pressing force of the spherical counter-pressure element on a between the transport element and the counter-pressure element arranged value note.
  • the transport element comprises a first roller and a second roller, wherein the first roller is rotatably mounted on a first drive shaft and axially displaceable along the longitudinal axis of the first drive shaft and when the second roller rotatably on a second drive shaft and is arranged axially displaceable along the longitudinal axis of the second drive shaft.
  • the first drive shaft can be driven by means of the first drive unit.
  • the second drive shaft can be driven by means of a third drive shaft.
  • the first roll and the second roll are over a connecting element coupled to each other such that they are displaceable together with the connecting element along the axis of rotation of the rollers or along the central axis of the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft.
  • the connecting element preferably has a circumferential toothing in the manner of a rack. At least one of the rollers is freely rotatably arranged to the connecting element, so that the rollers are driven at different speeds.
  • the first drive unit and the third drive unit can be controlled so that they have different speeds, so that at different speeds, a rotation of the bank note about a perpendicular to the transport plane of the transport path axis of rotation takes place. As a result, an angular offset can also be corrected or at least reduced at the same time as a lateral offset of the note of value relative to a desired position.
  • the device has a banknote reader which detects the position of the banknote.
  • the banknote reader or a control unit determines from the detected position a lateral offset to a preset desired position.
  • the orientation of the banknote then takes place in that the second drive unit for moving the transport element is actuated depending on the determined lateral offset such that the lateral offset is reduced or corrected.
  • a simple detection of the lateral offset is possible. Since banknote readers are generally used for authenticity checks in ATMs, it is advantageous to have them already in the ATM to use existing device to capture the position of the bill of lading, in order to determine from this a lateral offset of the bill of exchange.
  • the direction of rotation of the transport element can be changed. This is done in particular by changing the direction of rotation of the first drive unit.
  • This allows bidirectional transport of the notes of value along the transport path in a first transport direction and in a second transport direction opposite to the first transport direction.
  • it is possible, in particular, to transport notes of value to be deposited in the first transport direction through the apparatus and to pay out notes of value in the second transport direction.
  • it is possible to transport a bill of exchange in the first transport direction through the device and to carry out a first correction of the lateral offset and, during a transport of the same banknote in the second transport direction by the device, a second correction of the lateral offset.
  • the possibility of correction for correcting a determined lateral offset is further improved.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to an arrangement comprising a first apparatus according to claim 1 or to claim 1 or to one of the above-mentioned embodiments and to a second apparatus according to claim 1 or to claim 1 relating back or a further development mentioned above.

  • a first orientation of the banknote by the first device and a second orientation of the banknote by the second device take place.
  • the transport path is preferably limited by a plurality of transport elements, of which at least one part is arranged one behind the other in the transport direction. Furthermore, the transport path can be arranged between a first guide element and a second guide element. In particular, the transport elements can be arranged and the guide elements can be designed so that the transport plane in the transport direction has a curved or curved course.
