Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for aligning notes of value during transport along a transport route, for example within an automated teller machine or an automatic cash register or a cash register system.
  • the note of value can in particular be banknotes or checks which, for example, are to be fed to a receiving area of a cassette for storing notes of value or which have been removed therefrom.
  • the device contains at least one transport element for transporting the note of value along the transport route.
  • the transport element is driven with the aid of at least one first drive unit.
  • notes of value to be entered are transported from an input compartment to a receiving area and/or notes of value to be issued are transported from an 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 notes of value which are usually rectangular in shape, are transported with their longitudinal axis transverse to the transport direction aligned. Such an alignment is also referred to as long-side-first alignment.
  • the risk of a paper jam is particularly high in the case of 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. It is precisely with such used notes of value that the notes of value can be drawn in crookedly during transport. As a result, the notes of value can have a lateral offset and/or an angular offset from a desired target 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.
  • this device there are no lateral guide elements, such as those used for aligning and guiding single sheets in printers or copiers.
  • the use of lateral guide elements would lead to misalignment and/or to a disturbance as a result of a paper jam due to the different stiffness and the different edge quality of notes of value.
  • the object of the invention is to specify devices for aligning a note of value, through which at least one lateral offset of the security note can be corrected in a simple manner during its transport along the transport route.
  • the device for aligning at least one note of value along a transport route with the features of claim 1 ensures that the second drive unit displaces at least one of the deflection elements along its axis of rotation, so that a note of value in contact with the drive belt can be moved both in the transport direction with the aid of a drive is moved obliquely to the transport direction by the first drive unit as well as with an additional activation of the second drive unit.
  • a lateral displacement of the note of value during transport along the transport route is possible with a very compact and robust construction of the device.
  • the devices according to the invention can be used in devices for handling notes of value, such as automated teller machines, automatic cash registers, ticket machines or cash register systems.
  • the first drive unit drives the first deflection element via at least one drive shaft. In this way, a simple power transmission from the drive unit to the deflection element is possible, so that a simple and compact design of the device is achieved.
  • the deflection elements each comprise at least one shaft, one roller, one disk or one roller.
  • standard elements can be used to drive and guide the drive belt, so that a simple and inexpensive construction of the device is achieved.
  • the second deflection element is arranged after the first deflection element in the transport direction and if the second deflection element is laterally displaced with the aid of the second drive unit.
  • the distance by which the note of value is to be displaced laterally during transport by the drive belt can be set by activating the second drive unit during transport of the note of value.
  • the second deflection element is displaced along its axis of rotation with the aid of the second drive unit during a rotation of the first deflection element with the aid of the first drive unit, so that the note of value between the first deflection element and the second deflection element is moved obliquely to the transport direction.
  • the note of value can be displaced laterally by the drive belt during transport, so that a lateral displacement of the note of value can be easily corrected.
  • a counter-pressure element arranged opposite the drive belt is provided, with the transport route of the note running between the drive belt and the counter-pressure element.
  • the counter-pressure element ensures that the note of value is pressed against it during transport with the aid of the drive belt, so that the note of value can be transported safely with the aid of the drive belt.
  • the counter-pressure element is a belt which is guided over a deflection element which can be displaced laterally in the direction, ie along the axis of rotation of the deflection element, with the aid of the second drive unit. This allows the security note be guided along the transport path between the opposing belts so that it is held securely.
  • a second aspect of the invention according to claim 8 relates to a device for aligning at least one note of value along a transport route with a first transport element for transporting the note of value along the transport route in at least one transport direction.
  • the device comprises at least one second transport element for transporting the note of value along the transport route in the transport direction and at least one transverse transport element which is arranged between the first transport element and the second transport element.
  • the device comprises at least one counter-pressure element arranged opposite the transverse transport element.
  • the transport section of the note of value runs between the transverse transport element and the counter-pressure element.
  • the transverse transport element comprises at least one impeller.
  • a second drive unit is provided for driving the at least one impeller.
  • the axis of rotation of the impeller runs parallel to the transport direction and is at a distance from the transport plane.
  • the impeller makes contact with a note of value arranged between the impeller and the counter-pressure element and moves it transversely to the transport direction.
  • the impeller is preferably only turned when the note of value is to be moved transversely to the direction of transport in addition to being transported in the direction of transport, for example in order to correct a lateral offset of the note of value.
  • the device according to the second aspect of the invention thus causes a determined lateral Offsetting the note of value can be corrected in a simple manner by using the device to move the note of value not only in the direction of transport but also transversely to the direction of transport.
  • the counter-pressure element is spherical and freely rotatable.
  • the counter-pressure element can both generate a counter-pressure when the note of value is transported in the transport direction with the aid of the first and second transport element and also ensure contact between the impeller and note of value when the impeller is activated.
  • the note of value can be moved out of the transport plane, at least in some areas, so that the contact or adhesion between the note of value and the first transport element and the note of value in the second transport element is reduced when the impeller moves the note of value transversely to the transport direction moved.
  • the spherical counter-pressure element Due to the free rotation of the spherical counter-pressure element, the spherical counter-pressure element enables a pressure force to be generated both when the note of value moves in the transport direction and when the note of value moves transversely to the transport direction.
  • the axis of rotation of the impeller is at a distance from the transport plane that is less than the enveloping circle of the impeller, the radius of the enveloping circle of the impeller being the distance between the outer points of the impeller and the axis of rotation of the impeller.
  • the enveloping circle is the circle along which those of the axis of rotation points of the impeller furthest away from the impeller are moved during one revolution of the impeller. This ensures that at least the areas of the note contacted by at least one blade of the impeller are moved at least briefly out of the transport plane, so that the note of value is preferably lifted upwards from the transport path when it is arranged horizontally.
  • the impeller is not moved, ie the second drive unit is not activated.
  • the blades of the impeller are preferably held in such an angular position in which no blade of the impeller protrudes into or through the transport plane.
  • the impeller rotates with the aid of the second drive unit, the impeller moves at least one area of the note of value out of the transport plane and presses against the counter-pressure element. This enables the security note to be moved easily and securely transversely to the direction of transport.
  • the direction of rotation of the impeller can be changed, in particular by changing the direction of rotation of the second drive unit.
  • the note of value can be transported in a first direction transverse to the transport direction and in a second direction opposite to the first direction transverse to the transport direction.
  • the device comprises at least one elastically deformable element, which generates a pressing force of the counter-pressure element on a note of value arranged between the impeller and the counter-pressure element.
  • the device comprises at least one elastically deformable element, which generates a pressing force of the counter-pressure element on a note of value arranged between the impeller and the counter-pressure element.
  • the device has a bank note reader that detects the position of the note of value. Based on the detected position, the banknote reader or a control unit determines a lateral offset from a preset desired position. The value note 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. In this way, a simple detection of the lateral offset is possible. Since banknote readers are generally used for checking authenticity in ATMs, it is advantageous to use this device, which is already present in the ATM, to detect the position of the note of value in order to determine a lateral offset of the note of value on this basis.
  • the direction of rotation of the transport element can be changed. This is done in particular by changing the direction of rotation the first drive unit.
  • a 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 is possible.
  • a third aspect of the invention relates to an arrangement with a first device according to claim 1 or according to the independent further device claim or according to a dependent claim or according to one of the above-mentioned developments and with a second device according to claim 1 or according to the independent further device claim or according to a claim that relates back to this or according to one of the developments specified above.
  • the security note is fed to the first device and the second device one after the other.
  • a first orientation of the note of value can be performed by the first device and a second orientation of the note of value by the second device.
  • the transport section is preferably delimited by a plurality of 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 in such a way that the transport plane has a curved or curved profile in the transport direction.
  • a note of value transported along the transport route can be transported along the transport route 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 cheque, a voucher or a ticket.
  • FIG 1 a schematic representation of several notes of value 12 to 18 arranged along a transport plane 10 is shown.
  • the notes of value 12 to 18 are transported along the transport route 10 in the transport direction T1 with the aid of transport means, not shown, such as rollers, cylinders, belts and/or switches.

  • the long sides of the notes of value 12 to 18 are aligned 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 long-side-first (LSF) alignment. Furthermore, it is advantageous if two successive notes of value 12 to 18 each have the same distance Y from one another. Aligning 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 path 10 of an automated teller machine or an automatic cash register.
  • 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 the Figures 2 to 6b described in more detail.

  • the rollers 418, 438 are displaced along their axis of rotation on the shaft in the same direction, which is dependent on the drive direction of the second drive unit, so that the rollers 418, 438 have a lateral offset relative to the rollers 412, 432 with respect to the central axis of the transport path 10.
  • the notes of value are transported obliquely to the central axis of the transport section 10. This makes it possible for a note of value 12 fed to the device 400 to leave the device 400 in a lateral offset relative to its feed position.
  • a previously detected lateral offset of the note of value 12, ie a lateral deviation of the note of value 12 from a target position, can be corrected or reduced. If the second drive unit is not activated, the rollers 418, 438 remain in their in figure 4 position shown, so that the note of value is transported through the device 400 along the central axis of the transport path 10 and not at an angle to the transport path 10 .
  • the two belts 414, 434 arranged side by side in the embodiment according to FIG figure 4 enable a secure support and guidance of the note of value 12 along the transport route 10.
  • the rollers 418, 438 can also be arranged in a rotationally fixed manner with the shaft 416 and can be displaced axially on the shaft 416 via the axial bearings 420, 440, so that the rollers 418, 438 perform the exact same rotary movements.
  • the shaft 416 can also be driven in the same way as the shaft 410, preferably with the same drive unit.
  • the straps 414, 434 may be juxtaposed with another strap assembly 200 in a similar manner, as described in connection with FIG figure 3 for belt 114 is shown. As a result, the note of value 12 is held securely between the opposing straps.
  • a guide element can also be arranged on the belts 414, 434, 114, which delimits the transport path 10 so that the note of value 12 is guided securely between the belts 114, 414, 434 and the guide element.
  • FIG 5 shows a plan view of a device 500 for aligning notes of value 12 to 18 according to a fourth embodiment.
  • the device 500 comprises two impellers 510 and 512, which are mounted between two shafts in the transport direction T1, the first shaft serving as an inlet shaft 548 and the second shaft serving as an outlet shaft 550.
  • the inlet shaft 548 and the outlet shaft 550 are driven via a first drive unit, not shown.
  • a second drive unit rotates the impellers 510 and 512, the axis of rotation of the impellers 510 and 512 running parallel to the transport direction T1 and thus parallel to the central axis of the transport plane.
  • Two freely rotatable counter-pressure elements 520 and 522 designed as balls are arranged opposite the impellers 510 and 512, so that the transport section 10 of the note 12 runs between the impellers 510 and 512 and the spherical counter-pressure elements 520 and 522.
  • the counter-pressure elements 520 and 522 are each mounted in a bearing unit 530, 532 so that they can rotate freely.
  • the spherical counter-pressure elements 520, 522 are mounted in bearing shells inside the bearing units 530 and 532.
  • the arrangement of the counter-pressure elements 520 and 522 in the respective bearing units 530, 532 is in the Figures 6a and 6b shown.
  • the bearing units 530 and 532 are each coupled to an elastically deformable element 540 and 542, which generate a counter-pressure force of the spherical counter-pressure elements 520 and 522 on a note of value 12 arranged between the impellers 510, 512 and the counter-pressure elements 520 and 522.
  • the elastically deformable element 540, 542 can be a spring, in particular a spiral spring designed as a compression spring, or an elastomer block.
  • the note of value 12 is transported transversely to the central axis of the transport path 10 and is held securely between the opposing counter-pressure elements 520 and 522 and the impellers 510, 512. If the vane wheels 510 and 512 do not rotate, the note of value 12 is transported in the transport direction T1 along the transport path 10, i.e. without the note of value 12 being moved transversely to the transport path.
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the device 500 of FIG figure 5 along section line AA.
  • the device 500 is shown in a first operating condition in which the impellers 510 and 512 are not rotated by the second drive unit.
  • the axes of rotation of the impellers 510 and 512 are arranged at a distance Z from the transport plane 10 .
  • the distance Z is less than the radius R of the enveloping circles 514 and 516 of the impellers 510, 512.
  • the outer points of the impellers 510 and 512 move along the enveloping circle 514, 516 during one revolution of the impeller 510, 512.
  • the vanes of the vane wheels 510 and 512 are positioned in such an angular position that no vane of the vane wheels 510 and 512 protrudes into the transport plane 10.
  • the spherical counter-pressure element 520 mounted in the bearing unit 530 is arranged opposite the impeller 510
  • the spherical counter-pressure element 522 mounted in the bearing unit 532 is arranged opposite the impeller 512 .
  • the spherical counter-pressure elements 520 and 522 protrude through an opening in the respective bearing unit 530 and 532, which is dimensioned such that the spherical counter-pressure elements 520, 522 cannot be moved completely through the opening.
  • the note of value 12 which is arranged in the transport plane 10 between the impellers 510 and 512 and the counter-pressure elements 520 and 522, is not contacted by the impellers 510 and 512 in the operating state shown.
  • the note of value 12 when the input shaft 548 and the output shaft 550 are driven with the aid of the first drive unit is transported through the device 500 exclusively in the transport direction T1.
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the device 500 of FIG figure 5 along section line AA.
  • the device 500 is shown in a second operating condition in which the impellers 510 and 512 are rotated by means of the second drive unit.
  • the impellers 510 and 512 are moved during the rotation from the transport plane 10 by the distance from the difference between the radius R of the impeller 510, 512 and the distance Z (R-Z) and are pressed against the counter-pressure elements 520 and 522.
  • the note of value 12 is transported in one of the directions of the double arrow T3 transversely to the central axis of the transport section 10 and is held securely between the counter-pressure elements 520 and 522 and the impellers 510 and 512.
  • the adhesion between the note of value 12 and the infeed shaft 548 and between the note of value 12 and the outfeed shaft 550 is reduced, so that the transport of the note of value 12 in direction T1 while the note of value 12 is aligned in one of the Directions of the double arrow T3 is interrupted.
  • the impellers 510, 512 are driven from their in Figure 6a shown position to move the Security note 12 rotated transversely to the transport direction T1 by a minimum angle or an integer multiple of the minimum angle.
  • the minimum angle is the quotient of 360° and the number of wings.
  • the impellers 510, 512 each have three wings, so that the minimum angle is 120°.
  • the vane wheels 510, 512 are rotated with the aid of the second drive unit until the note of value 12 has been moved a desired distance transversely to the transport direction T1.
  • the drive of the inlet shaft and the outlet shaft can also be stopped in other embodiments.
