Definitions

  • the invention relates to a single sheet handling device for inputting and outputting rectangular single sheets into or out of a container.
  • rectangular individual sheets are, in particular, banknotes that are automatically fed into the container for storage or automatically removed from the container for output.
  • a banknote storage container for cash dispensers is known. Further is from the document US 6,889,897 B2 a banknote storage container is known, in which a large number of feed elements and alternatively a large number of separating elements are arranged in the banknote storage container itself, which is designed as a cassette.
  • this has the disadvantage that these elements must also be present in replacement cassettes and space must be provided in the cassette itself for the feeding and separating elements, which is lost for the banknote storage.
  • a disadvantage of arranging feeding and separating elements in the cassette is that they increase the weight of the cassette and thereby increase the transport effort for transporting the cassette.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an arrangement with a container for holding rectangular individual sheets and with a single sheet handling device for inputting and outputting the individual sheets into or out of the container, in which a simply constructed unit can be separated from the feeding and separating elements of the individual sheet handling device container can be used.
  • individual sheets can be fed to a container in a simple manner and individual sheets can be removed from the same container.
  • feed elements and the separating elements separately from the container, a simple construction of the container is possible and the weight of the container can be significantly reduced compared to an arrangement of feed elements and separating elements in the container.
  • Such a single sheet handling device is particularly suitable for use in an ATM, with an operational exchange of full and/or empty containers taking place as required, so that for each container arranged in the ATM, at least one further exchange container is kept available for exchange against this container arranged in the ATM . It is therefore desirable that the containers can be manufactured with relatively little effort. By arranging This is possible in a simple manner if the feed elements and the separating elements are separated from the container.
  • the feed elements position a single sheet to be fed to the container in front of the stack surface formed by an end face of the stack. As a result, this fed single sheet is subsequently the frontmost single sheet of the stack. The front or back of the fed single sheet subsequently forms the front side of the stack.
  • At least some of the feed elements and at least some of the separating elements are designed and arranged in such a way that, at least in a feeding or separating operation of the single sheet handling device, they feed at least one single sheet located in a single sheet receiving area of the container through at least one opening in a front boundary wall contact through the single sheet receiving area. This makes it easy for the feeding elements and the separating elements to access the frontmost individual sheet of the stack or to an individual sheet to be fed.
  • the single sheet handling device has at least one active drive for changing the position of a front boundary wall of the container designed as a flap, the drive controlling the movement of the container Flap initiated or effected in a feeding and/or separating position, in which a feeding and/or removal opening is released for feeding or removing the individual sheets. This allows the individual sheets to be easily transported into and out of the container via the released feed and/or removal opening.
  • This embodiment of the invention can be further developed in particular in that the active drive moves the flap into a rest position before or during the operational separation of the container from the feeding and separating elements, preferably before or during a removal process for operationally removing the container from an ATM , wherein the flap is arranged in the rest position such that the feed and / or removal opening is closed and preferably locked.
  • the flap is moved into the rest position, at least some of the individual sheets of the stack are preferably pressed into the individual sheet receiving area of the container.
  • all individual sheets of the stack are securely arranged in the individual sheet receiving area when the container is separated from the feeding and separating elements. Arranging the flap in the rest position makes unauthorized removal of banknotes more difficult.
  • the drive moves the flap at least from the feeding and/or separating position into the rest position and from the rest position is moved into the feeding and/or separating position when the operating mode changes from the feeding mode to the separating mode or when the operating mode changes from the separating mode to the feeding mode.
  • the drive moves the flap at least from the feeding and/or separating position into the rest position and from the rest position is moved into the feeding and/or separating position when the operating mode changes from the feeding mode to the separating mode or when the operating mode changes from the separating mode to the feeding mode.
  • the single sheet handling device has engagement elements for actuating the flap when the container comes into contact with the elements of the single sheet handling device which are arranged separately from the container, wherein the drive activates the flap when moving into the feeding and/or separating position Engagement elements actively driven against a spring force for moving and / or holding the flap in the rest position. This makes it possible to arrange the drive separately from the container and to operate the flap safely via the engagement elements.
  • At least one separating element has at least one separating wheel, preferably a suction roller with suction elements arranged on its outer surface for contacting a single sheet. It is advantageous if suction cups are provided on the outer surface of the suction roller which a single sheet sticks to the suction roller.
  • the separating wheel can be a take-off wheel with an outer lateral surface having a profiling, the profiling preferably consisting of transverse ribs.
  • the separating device has at least two separating rollers arranged on the same driven shaft, which have a uniform peripheral surface.
  • the separating rollers are preferably arranged on the shaft in a spring-mounted manner, so that the separating rollers, at least in a separating operating mode, evenly contact the front or back of the first banknote arranged on the front side of the stack in order to avoid twisting of the banknote when separating and removing it.
  • the separating rollers preferably have a profiled surface, with at least the surface of the separating rollers having a material with a high coefficient of friction.
  • the separating rollers have a profile, preferably transverse grooves or suction cups on the peripheral surface.
  • the container can have a relatively low overall height, allowing for multiple containers can be arranged one above the other in conventional ATMs or in conventional automatic safe deposit boxes.

Due to different note qualities, the required stacking space is different, particularly in the case of a stack of notes 36 with a relatively large number of banknotes, so that with a constant retraction path of the displacement carriage 82, a different pressure force from the notes onto the feed and separating elements of the separating and stacking module 30 occurs. In a first step, the displacement carriage 82 is moved a first distance away from the separating and stacking module 30.
