Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for handling notes of value, which has an output compartment for removing notes of value.
  • the output compartment is delimited on a first side by a storage element and on a second side by a limiting element.
  • a closure element limits the output compartment in a closed position on a third side and in an open position allows access to notes of value spread out in the output compartment.
  • the closure element can be pivoted from the closed position to an open position and to close the output compartment from the open position to the closed position.
  • Devices for handling notes of value are known from the prior art, in which the notes of value are offered to a user as a bundle.
  • the notes of value are removed from note cassettes, fed to a buffer and stacked by a stacking unit to form a stack of notes, which is then transported to the output compartment with the aid of a transport unit, for example with the aid of a travel carriage.
  • the DE 102 10 689 A1 discloses a device for handling notes of value according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the limiting element for feeding the notes of value into the output compartment is arranged in a first limiting position.
  • the control unit is designed to control a first drive unit for moving the storage element in the direction of the limiting element, wherein the limiting element is arranged such that it can be moved from the first limiting position into a second limiting position when the storage element moves in the direction of the limiting element.
  • the control unit is designed to control a second drive unit for opening the output compartment for moving the closure element from the closed position to the open position, an engagement element of the limiting element with an engagement region of the closure element during movement of the closure element, or in the open position of the closure element, comes into engagement when the limiting element is in the second limiting position.
  • the limiting element can be moved from the second position to a third position with the aid of the closure element.
  • the control unit is designed to control the first drive unit for moving the storage element away from the limiting element when the limiting element is moved from the second limiting position to the third limiting position.
  • the engagement element is movable between an extended and a retracted position, the engagement element elastically deforming an elastic element. This ensures that the pivoting radius of the limiting element can be changed depending on the position of the limiting element.
  • the engagement element is moved from the extended position to the retracted position when the limiting element is moved from the second position to the third position. This ensures that a small installation space is required for the joint movement of the closure element and the limiting element.
  • the closure element is pivotable about a first axis of rotation and if the limiting element is pivotable about a second axis of rotation that is different from the first axis of rotation.
  • the pivoting radius of the closure element is larger than the pivoting radius of the limiting element.
  • first side and the second side are arranged opposite one another. This achieves a space-saving geometry of the output compartment.
  • closure element in the closed position serves as a stop element for the notes of value that are individually fed to the output compartment. This prevents uncontrolled movement of the notes when feeding them into the output compartment.
  • At least one pressure element is pivotally arranged on the limiting element for the orderly storage of the notes of value in the output compartment. This ensures that an orderly stack of notes is formed in the output compartment.
  • a first sensor unit for detecting a position of the storage element and/or at least one second sensor unit for detecting a position of the closure element and/or at least one third sensor unit for detecting a position of the pressure element are provided. This achieves particularly reliable monitoring of the position of the storage element and/or the closure element and/or the pressure element.
  • the first sensor unit generates a first sensor signal and/or the second sensor unit generates a second sensor signal and/or the third sensor unit generates a third sensor signal and transmits the respective sensor signal to the control unit, wherein the control unit is designed to control the first drive unit and / or the second drive unit depending on the transmitted first sensor signal and / or second sensor signal and / or third sensor signal.
  • notes of value received in the output compartment form a stack of notes of value, the notes of value in the stack of notes of value being arranged one above the other in such a way that the bottom note of value lies with its front or its back on the storage element and that the top note of value lies with its front or its back Back contacts the pressure element, the direction from the lowest note of value to the top note of value being a stacking direction of the stack of notes of value.
  • the device comprises at least one third drive unit for driving transport elements for transporting the notes of value, wherein the transport elements for feeding the notes of value into the output compartment can be driven in a first direction and the transport elements in a second direction opposite to the first direction Direction for transporting the notes of value out of the output compartment in the direction of a note handling unit of the device can be driven.
  • This achieves a compact design of the device.
  • the closure element is a first closure element and the device comprises a second closure element which can be opened and closed independently of the first closure element. This achieves a high level of security against manipulation of the device by unauthorized third parties.
  • the storage element comprises at least one rib element which is arranged such that it engages in a rib recess in the closure element at least when the closure element is in the closed position. This makes it more difficult for unauthorized third parties to access the output tray.
  • the storage element comprises a recess which is arranged such that a note or stack of notes placed in the output compartment lies at least over a portion of the recess. This makes it easier to access the notes of value stored in the output compartment when the closure element is open. It is particularly advantageous if the recess is arranged centrally under the banknote or stack of banknotes in the output compartment.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a device 10 for handling notes of value 28, 48, 50.
  • the device 10 comprises a head module 12 and a safe module 14.
  • the head module 12 includes a note issuing unit 16 for issuing notes of value 48 to be paid out to an operator.
  • Banknotes 28, 48 are transported from the safe module 14 into the head module 12 via a transfer opening 18.
  • the safe module 14 includes four banknote cassettes 20 to 26, which are used to store and transport banknotes 28.
  • the banknotes 28 are stored in the banknote cassettes 20 to 26 in the form of a stack. One of these stacks is indicated as an example in the first note cassette 26. One of the notes in this stack of notes is designated by the reference number 28 as an example.
  • the notes 28 in the note cassettes 20 to 26 are arranged standing on one of their edges.
  • Each note cassette 20 to 26 has an opening (not shown) for removing notes 28.
  • a separating unit 30 to 36 is arranged, with the help of which the notes in the note cassettes 20 Notes of value 28 stored up to 26 can be individually removed from the note cassettes 20 to 26 and thereby separated.
  • notes of value 28 to be paid out are removed from the corresponding note cassettes 20 to 26 and, after being separated, fed to a transport path 40.
  • a sensor unit 42 is arranged along the transport path 40 and detects at least one feature of each note of value 28 to be paid out.
  • the sensor unit 42 transmits a measured value of the detected feature to a control unit 44, which is designed to determine, depending on the detected feature, whether the note of value 28 is a first note of value 48 that is permitted for a payout or a second note of value 50 that is not permitted for a payout.
  • the control unit 44 controls a switch unit 46 in such a way that the note 48 is fed to the note issuing unit 16 if it is a note 48 that is permissible for payout. However, if the note of value is a note of value 50 that is not permitted for payout, the control unit 44 controls the switch unit 46 in such a way that the note of value 50 is fed to a buffer 52.
  • notes of value 50 are removed from the note cassettes 20 to 26 and, if these are permissible for payout based on the characteristics detected with the aid of the sensor unit 42, transported to the note issuing unit 16. This means that the desired total amount can be issued to the operator without interrupting the payout process.
  • the notes of value 50 that are not permitted for payout are fed via a further transport path 56 to a container 54, in particular a so-called reject and retract container 54, which is preferably designed in the form of another note cassette.
  • the reject and retract container 54 includes, in particular, a first compartment for receiving the sorted notes of value 50 (so-called rejects) and a second compartment, separate from the first compartment, for receiving notes of value 48 that have not been removed from the output compartment (so-called retracts). This means that rejects and retracts can be saved separately, making it easy to trace grades.
  • the device 10 can be designed as a recycling ATM, ie as a device 10 for paying out and depositing notes of value 28.
  • the sensor unit 42 or a further sensor unit, in particular arranged in the head module also checks the features of the notes of value 28, which are a Operator supplies the device 10 via a note issuing and input unit. Notes of value 28 that are permitted for deposit are placed in the note cassettes 20 to 26 supplied, notes of value that are not permitted for deposit are supplied to the buffer 52.

  • the storage element 62 includes a recess 64, which is arranged such that the notes of value 48 stored in the output compartment 72 lie over a portion of the recess 64.
  • Two sensor units 66, 68 are also visible, with the sensor unit 66 being provided for detecting the closed position of the closure element 60 and the sensor unit 68 being provided for detecting an open position of the closure element 60.
  • the sensor units 66, 68 generate a sensor signal when detecting the respective position of the closure element 60 and transmit this sensor signal to the control unit 44.
  • the control unit 44 is designed to provide an in Figure 2 to control an invisible drive unit for moving the closure element 60 depending on the transmitted sensor signal.
  • the note issuing unit 16 further comprises a transport unit 70, with the help of which the notes 48 removed from the safe module 14 are transported in a direction T1 to the output compartment 72.
  • the notes of value not removed from the output compartment 72 are transported in a direction opposite to the direction T1 with the aid of the transport unit 70.
  • the closure element 60 is a first inner closure element of the device 10, which is arranged as a "shadow" closure element 60 behind a second, not shown, outer closure element.
  • the outer closure element can be opened and closed independently of the closure element 60. The removal of notes of value 48 from the note issuing unit 16 is therefore only possible if both closure elements 60 are opened at the same time. This achieves a particularly high level of security, since the "shadow" closure element 60 remains closed, particularly if the outer closure element is manipulated by unauthorized third parties.
