Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for aligning notes of value during transport along a transport route, for example within an ATM or an automatic vault or a cash register system.
  • the bill of value can in particular be bank notes or checks which, for example, are to be fed to a receiving area of a cassette for storing bills of value or have been removed from it.
  • the device contains at least one transport element for transporting the banknote along the transport route.
  • the transport element is driven with the aid 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 in particular be designed as a roller, cylinder or belt.
  • notes of value to be entered are transported from an input compartment to a receiving area and / or notes of value to be dispensed are transported from a receiving area to an output compartment.
  • the receiving area can be provided by a transport cassette for storing and transporting the notes of value.
  • the usually rectangular notes of value are aligned with their longitudinal axis transverse to the transport direction. Such an alignment is also known as a long-side-first alignment.
  • the risk of a paper jam is particularly high with used notes of value, since the rigidity of such notes of value decreases with use and the contamination of the surface of the notes of value increases. Especially with such used notes of value, the notes of value can be drawn in or pulled incorrectly during transport. As a result, the notes of value can have a lateral offset and / or an angular offset to a desired target position, so that they should be aligned.
  • a device for aligning bank notes 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 to a disruption due to a paper jam due to the different rigidity and the different edge quality of notes of value.
  • Further devices for aligning notes of value are from the documents DE10 2008 050 534 A1 , DE 10 2008 038 771 A1 , DE 10 2011 000 783 A1 and DE 102 03 177 C1 known.
  • the documents show US 2013/0307213 A1 and US 2016/0280487 A1 Devices for aligning documents according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for aligning a note of value by means of which at least one lateral offset of the note of value can be corrected in a simple manner during its transport along a transport route.
  • the counter-pressure element in contrast to the known prior art, is spherical and is freely rotatable. Furthermore, a second drive unit is provided for moving the transport element arranged opposite the spherical counter-pressure element along its axis of rotation, so that a note arranged between the transport element and the counter-pressure element is moved transversely to the transport direction when the transport element is moved. If the value note is additionally moved in the transport direction or in the opposite transport direction with the help of a drive through the first drive unit with the help of the transport element, the value note is transported at an angle to the transport direction when the second drive unit is activated at the same time, so that a lateral offset is generated. This is a very compact and robust structure of the device is possible.
  • the device according to the invention can alternatively or additionally be used in devices for handling notes of value, such as cash machines, automatic vaults, ticket machines or cash register systems.
  • the first drive unit drives the transport element via at least one drive shaft.
  • a simple drive of the transport element is hereby possible.
  • the transport element can easily be moved together with or on the drive shaft with the aid of the second drive unit.
  • the spherical counter-pressure element presses a note of value arranged between the transport element and the counter-pressure element against the outer surface of the transport element.
  • the transport element can be arranged at a constant distance in relation to a transport plane of the transport path, so that the transport element itself does not exert any force on a note arranged between the transport element and a counterpressure element orthogonally to the transport plane, whereas the counterpressure element exerts a force on the banknote in the direction of the transport element.
  • This pressing force runs essentially orthogonally or obliquely to the transport plane. This enables a simple and robust construction of the device.
  • the second drive unit displaces the transport element, so that the value note is transported at an angle to the transport direction.
  • the value note is thus simultaneously shifted transversely to the transport direction and transported in the transport direction.
  • the value note is moved independently of whether the value note is transported transversely to the transport direction to reduce or correct a lateral offset of the value note in the transport direction or is not moved continuously in the transport direction T1.
  • the bill passes through the device at the same time, regardless of whether the bill is moved transversely to the transport direction with the aid of the second drive unit during transport through the device.
  • the transport element is non-rotatably connected to at least one drive shaft and is axially displaceable thereon. This results in a simple drive of the transport element at the same speed with which the drive shaft is also driven. Due to the axial displaceability of the transport element on the drive shaft, the transport element can easily be moved transversely to the transport direction with the aid of the second drive unit. A simple and compact design of the device is achieved in this way.
  • the transport element comprises at least one pair of rollers, the rollers of which have a Connecting element are connected with circumferential teeth 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 on at least one drive shaft.
  • This enables simple drive of the rollers and simple power transmission from the second drive unit to the connecting element for moving the rollers of the roller pair in the direction of their axis of rotation.
  • the circumferential teeth are preferably in engagement with a gearwheel which can be driven with the aid of the second drive unit.
  • the second drive unit is preferably an electric motor, in particular a stepping motor. This enables a simple drive and simple power transmission to the connecting element for moving the rollers. In particular, this also enables the device to be constructed in a compact manner.
  • the toothing of the gear is in engagement with the circumferential toothing of the connecting element, so that when the gear is rotated by the second drive unit, the transport element is axially displaced on the drive shaft.
  • the rollers of the roller pair or the transport element can simply be shifted along their axis of rotation on the drive shaft.
  • the transport route for the notes of value is delimited by a first guide element and a second guide element
  • the first guide element is arranged opposite the second guide element in such a way that it can be pivoted from an operating position into a maintenance position.
  • the guide elements can also be arranged such that they cannot pivot with respect to one another.
  • At least two spherical counter-pressure elements are provided, which are preferably each arranged opposite a roller of a driven roller pair serving as a transport element. It is advantageous here if the first spherical counter-pressure element is arranged freely rotatable in a first bearing unit and if the second spherical counter-pressure element is freely rotatable in a second bearing unit.
  • the bearing units can be pivotably connected to the first guide element, the first spherical counter-pressure element protruding through an opening of the first bearing unit, which is preferably dimensioned such that the first spherical counter-pressure element cannot be moved completely through the opening.
  • the second spherical counter-pressure element protrudes through an opening in the second bearing unit, which is preferably dimensioned such that the second spherical counter-pressure element does not pass completely through the Opening can be moved through. This ensures that the balls serving as counter-pressure elements cannot fall out of the bearing units when the counter-pressure elements are lifted from the opposite transport element or from the opposite rollers of the pair of rollers.
  • bearing shells can 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 note arranged between the transport element and the counter-pressure element.
  • the transport element comprises a first roller and a second roller, the first roller being non-rotatably arranged on a first drive shaft and axially displaceable along the longitudinal axis of the first drive shaft and if the second roller is non-rotatably mounted on a second drive shaft and is arranged axially displaceably along the longitudinal axis of the second drive shaft.
  • the first drive shaft can be driven with the aid of the first drive unit.
  • the second drive shaft can be driven with the aid of a third drive shaft.
  • the first roll and the second roll are over a connecting element coupled to one another in such a way that they can be displaced 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 circumferential teeth in the manner of a rack.
  • At least one of the rollers is arranged to be freely rotatable relative to the connecting element, so that the rollers can be driven at different speeds.
  • the first drive unit and the third drive unit can be controlled in such a way that they have different speeds, so that at different speeds a rotation of the note about an axis of rotation running perpendicular to the transport plane of the transport path takes place.
  • 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 target position.
  • the device has a bank note reader which detects the position of the note of value.
  • the banknote reader or a control unit determines, based on the detected position, a lateral offset to a preset target position.
  • the bank of value is then aligned in that the second drive unit for moving the transport element is controlled as a function of the determined lateral offset in such a way that the lateral offset is reduced or corrected. This enables the lateral offset to be recorded easily. Since bank note readers are generally used to check authenticity in ATMs, it is advantageous to do this already in the ATM to use existing device to detect the position of the banknote in order to determine a lateral offset of the banknote on the basis of this.
  • 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 enables bidirectional transport of the notes of value along the transport route in a first transport direction and in a second transport direction opposite to the first transport direction.
  • This makes it possible, in particular, to transport bank notes to be paid in through the device in the first transport direction and bank notes to be paid out in the second transport direction.
  • it is possible to transport a note of value through the device in the first transport direction and to carry out a first correction of the lateral offset and, when the same note of value is transported through the device in the second transport direction, a second correction of the lateral offset. This further improves the correction option for correcting a determined lateral offset.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to an arrangement with a first device according to claim 1 or a claim referring back to claim 1 or according to one of the above-mentioned embodiments and with a second device according to claim 1 or a claim referring back to claim 1 or a development given above.
  • Of the Value note is fed to the first device and the second device one after the other.
  • a first alignment of the banknote can be carried out by the first device and a second alignment of the banknote by the second device.
  • the transport route is preferably limited by several transport elements, at least some of which are arranged one behind the other in the transport direction.
  • the transport path can be arranged between a first guide element and a second guide element.
  • the transport elements can be arranged and the guide elements can be designed such that the transport plane has a curved or curved course in the transport direction.
  • a note transported along the transport path is transported along the transport path in such a way that its front side is arranged opposite a contact area of the first guide element and that its rear side is arranged opposite a contact area of the second guide element.
  • the transport elements can include driven and / or non-driven rotating transport rollers, conveyor belts and / or rollers.
  • the value note can in particular be a bank note, a check, a value voucher or a ticket.

  • the long sides of the notes of value 12 to 18 are oriented essentially transversely to the transport direction T1, at least in the desired position.
  • Such an alignment of the long sides of the notes of value 12 to 18 orthogonal to the transport direction T1 is also referred to as a long-side-first (LSF) alignment. It is also advantageous if two consecutive notes of value 12 to 18 each have the same distance Y from one another. Alignment of the notes of value 12 to 18 in the desired position is particularly important when the notes of value 12 to 18 are transported at high speed along the transport route 10 of an ATM or an automatic safe. To align the notes of value 12 to 16, the location of the desired position deviates laterally, a device for aligning these notes of value 12 to 16 is provided according to the invention. The structure and function of the device for aligning notes of value 12 to 18 is described below in connection with FIGS Figures 2 to 9 described in more detail.

  • the in Figure 1 The value note 14 shown is not in the target position. Its long sides are aligned perpendicular to the transport direction T1, but its short central axis does not lie on the central axis 20 of the transport path 10. The short central axis of the note 14 is offset to the right, so that the note 14 has no angular offset but a lateral offset. The note 14 must therefore be shifted to the left until the short central axis of the note 14 lies on the central axis 20 of the transport plane 10 in order to bring the note 14 into the target position.

However, the value note 12 is additionally rotated by an angle A to an orthogonal to the central axis 20 of the transport route 10. Such a deviation by one Angle from the nominal position is also referred to as an angular offset. The value note 12 would have to be rotated by the angle -A and additionally shifted to the left as seen in the transport direction T1 until the short central axis of the value note 12 lies on the central axis 20 of the transport path 10 in order to bring the value note 12 exactly into the target position .
