Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for processing value documents, in particular a value document processing device.
- the documents of value are e.g. banknotes, tickets, vouchers, etc.
- the value documents are usually transported individually one after the other with the aid of transport means along a transport direction past sensors which check the value documents, e.g. for authenticity, condition or the type of the value document.
- the sensors check e.g. optical, magnetic or other properties of the respective document of value.
- several such sensors are arranged one after the other along a sensor path, and sometimes also opposing sensors which are opposite one another with regard to the transport plane of the value documents and between which the value documents are guided.
- a guide element is usually arranged immediately in front of the relevant sensor, which guides the documents of value transported past in such a way that they remain as possible in their transport plane and - without getting stuck on the entrance edge - are safely transported past the sensor.
- a guide element reaches very close to the transport level, transport problems can arise, since at this bottleneck there is the risk that the value documents thread or get stuck on the guide element itself. If then several such guide elements are very close in a sensor path reach the transport level, this risk adds up for all these bottlenecks or guiding elements.
- the device for processing documents of value has transport means for transporting documents of value along a transport direction through a transport route and sensors for checking the documents of value, which are arranged along the transport route so that the documents of value can be transported past the sensors with the aid of the means of transport are.
- the means of transport can be transport rollers or rollers or transport belts, for example flat belts or round belts.
- the device has an adjustable guide element directly in front of at least one of the sensors.
- the respective sensor, immediately in front of which the adjustable guide element is arranged, is also referred to as the sensor following the adjustable guide element.
- the documents of value are transported in the area of the sensor and in the area of the adjustable guide element in a transport level of the transport route.
- the adjustable guide element is - viewed from the transport plane - arranged on that side on which the sensor is also arranged.
- the sensor surface faces the transport plane of the value documents. In particular, it runs parallel to the transport plane of the value documents.
- the adjustable guide element has a guide element surface facing the documents transported past, which has an input side which, viewed in the transport direction, lies at the beginning of the adjustable guide element, and an output side which, when viewed in the transport direction, lies at the end of the adjustable guide element.
- the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element in particular its input and output side, faces the value document surfaces of the value documents transported past the guide element along the transport direction.
- the adjustable guide element is designed so that the document of value can be guided or moved in a direction substantially perpendicular to the transport plane while it is being transported past by touching the guide element surface, in particular the entry and / or exit side.
- the exit side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element ends - viewed along the transport direction - directly in front of the (subsequent) sensor.
- the adjustable guide element is fastened to a base element fastened to the value document processing device, relative to which the adjustable guide element can be moved.
- the adjustable guide element is fastened to the base element in such a way that the distance that the exit side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element has from the transport plane of the value documents is adjustable or adjustable.
- the device can have one or more of the adjustable guide elements along the sensor path and possibly also one or more non-adjustable guide elements.
- the distance that the adjustable guide element has from the transport plane is individually adapted to the distance of the subsequent sensor, in particular to the distance the sensor surface of each subsequent sensor from the transport level.
- the distance between the output side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element can be set as a function of the distance that the sensor following the adjustable guide element has or needs from the transport plane.
- the distance between the output side of the guide element surface is set so that the document of value transported past, in particular by touching the output side of the guide element, is guided to the surface of the subsequent sensor.
- the distance of the adjustable guide element arranged immediately in front of it can be adjusted accordingly, it is possible to vary the distance of the sensor from the transport plane - with appropriate tracking of the adjustable guide element - be built into the device at different distances from the documents of value transported past. In this way, the distance of the following sensor (and correspondingly that of the adjustable guide element) to the transport plane can even be reduced without this leading to transport problems.
- another sensor of the sensors provided for the sensor path can optionally be installed at the relevant sensor location of the sensor following the adjustable wire element, e.g. a sensor that requires a short distance from the transport plane or one that requires a large distance from the transport plane .
- the adjustable guide element therefore allows a flexible sequence of the sensors provided for the sensor path along the transport direction. For example, appropriate adjustment of the adjustable guide element enables a first sensor, which is to be arranged at a relatively small distance from the transport plane, and a second sensor, which is to be arranged at a relatively large distance from the Transport level is to be arranged, can be interchanged in their arrangement along the sensor track.
- the adjustable guide elements are advantageous over non-adjustable guide elements, the guide element surface of which extends very close to the transport plane in order to return the documents of value transported past to the transport plane - regardless of the distance from the respective subsequent sensor. Because if two opposing non-adjustable guide elements come very close to the transport level, this creates a bottleneck for the documents of value, which can cause transport problems. If, on the other hand, an adjustable guide element is used on one side or both sides of the transport plane, its distance from the transport plane can in many cases - if the subsequent sensor does not require such a small distance from the transport plane - be increased. By using adjustable guide elements, bottlenecks for the documents of value and corresponding transport problems can be avoided.
- the base element fastened to the value document processing device can be adjustably or non-adjustably fastened to the value document processing device.
- the base element is a mounting plate of the value document processing device, to which the sensors or the sensor mounts of the sensors are also attached.
- the base element can also be non-adjustably attached to another part of the value document processing device.
- the position of the base element can be adjusted relative to the value document processing device, in particular relative to the transport plane of the value documents. While the distance that the output side of the guide element surface has from the transport plane can be adjusted, the distance that the input side of the guide element surface has from the transport plane can be at least approximately unchangeable (first embodiment) or also variably adjustable (second embodiment) .
- the attachment of the adjustable guide element to the base element can be solved and locked again.
- the distance that the output side of the Lei telement Structure of the adjustable guide element has from the transport plane of the documents of value is adjustable by an adjustment before gear, for which the attachment of the guide element to the base element is temporarily released.
- the adjustable guide element can only be moved relative to the base element during the adjustment process.
- the attachment of the adjustable guide element to the base element is designed such that - after loosening the fastening supply - the distance that the output side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element has from the transport plane can be changed in the adjustment process (e.g. continuously) and the adjustable guide element after the adjustment process at the changed distance, can be fastened again to the base element by locking the releasable fastening.
- the distance between the output side of the guide element surface and the transport plane can be adjusted, in particular from a predefined minimum distance to a predefined maximum distance.
- the distance between the output side of the guide element surface and the trans port plane cannot be adjusted.
- the mechanical connection between the adjustable guide element and the base element in particular has a mechanical play, which allows the adjustment of the distance Allows exit side of the guide element surface from the transport level.
- the mechanical connection has no mechanical play.
- the mechanical play enables the distance between the output side of the guide element surface and the transport plane to be adjustable from a predefined minimum distance to a predefined maximum distance, which are determined by the size of the mechanical play.
- the mechanical play of the mechanical connection is preferably so great that it allows a movement of the exit side of the guide element surface of at least 3 mm along the direction perpendicular to the plane of transport of the value documents.
- the mechanical connection between the adjustable guide element and the base element is designed in such a way that the distance that the output side of the guide element surface has from the transport plane can be set so that it is different from the distance that the input side of the guide element surface from the Has transport level.
- the mechanical connection between the adjustable guide element and the base element is designed in such a way that the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element can form an angle with the transport plane, the angle optionally being set so that the distance of the guide element surface from the transport plane is along the transport direction optionally enlarged or reduced.
- the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element forms, for example, an angle between + 30 ° and -30 ° with the transport plane, wherein the angle can also be zero.
- the angle that the guide element surface of the adjustable Leitele element forms with the transport plane is preferably continuously adjustable.
- the adjustable guide element is set and attached to the base element in such a way that the exit side of the guide element surface has at most the same distance, preferably a smaller distance, from the transport plane of the value documents than the (subsequent) sensor, which is directly behind the adjustable one in the transport direction of the value documents Guide element is arranged.
- the distance between the exit side of the guide element surface and the transport plane is preferably at least 0.5 mm less than the distance that the following sensor (based on its inlet edge) has from the transport plane.
- the adjustable guide element is in particular set and attached to the base element in such a way that the input side of the guide element surface is at least the same distance, preferably a greater distance, from the transport plane of the value documents than the preceding sensor, which is arranged in the transport direction of the value documents directly in front of the adjustable Lei telement.
- the distance between the input side of the Leitelementflä surface and the transport plane is preferably at least 0.5 mm greater than the distance that the preceding sensor (based on its outlet edge) has from the transport plane.
- the adjustable guide element and a further guide element can be opposite each other with respect to the transport plane in such a way that a guide channel for the documents of value is formed between the adjustable guide element and the further guide element.
- the adjustable guide element and the opposite further guide element can be arranged in such a way that the guide channel remains the same in width or narrows in the transport direction from the beginning to the end of the adjustable guide element.
- the further guide element has approximately the same length as the adjustable guide element.
- the opposite further guide element can also be an adjustable guide element according to the invention.
- the opposite further Lei telement can also be a non-adjustable guide element which is attached to the value document processing device in such a way that it cannot be adjusted relative to the transport plane of the value documents.
- the wide re guide element which is arranged opposite the adjustable guide element, is non-adjustable, it is preferably arranged and designed such that the distance that the input side of the guide element surface of the further guide element has from the transport plane is greater than From the stand that the output side of the Leitelement Structure of the other Leitele element has from the transport plane.
- the adjustable guide element is advantageously connected to the base element via an axis of rotation about which the adjustable guide element can be rotated (during the adjustment process).
- the axis of rotation runs in particular perpendicular to the transport direction and parallel to the transport plane of the value documents. The ability of the adjustable guide element to rotate about the axis of rotation ensures that the guide element, after its attachment to the base element has been released, is not freely movable in all directions, but has at least one fixed point, namely the axis of rotation.
- the adjustment process then includes a rotation of the adjustable Leitele element relative to the base element, by means of which the distance between the output side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element and the transport plane is set.
- the adjustable guide element is releasably connected to the base element at a further fastening point of the adjustable guide element spaced from the axis of rotation. To adjust the angle of rotation of the adjustable guide element, the fastening at the further fastening point is temporarily released and, after the adjustable guide element has been rotated about the axis of rotation, it is fixed again.
- the adjustable guide element is attached to the further fastening point by a pin-shaped fastening element on the Basisele element, which is passed through a hole in the adjustable guide element, protrudes into the base element and is releasably connected to the base element.
- the pin-shaped fastening element is a screw which is passed through the hole of the adjustable guide element and is screwed into a corresponding thread of the base element.
- the hole in the adjustable guide element through which the screw is passed is, for example, an elongated hole.
- the screw head is pressed on both sides of the edge of the elongated hole of the adjustable guide element by the screwing in order to fix the position of the elongated hole relative to the screw and thus also the position of the adjustable guide element relative to the base element.
- the screw is loosened, the adjustable guide element is rotated about the axis of rotation and the screw is tightened again for fastening to the further fastening point.
- the elongated hole of the adjustable Lei telement which is located at the further fastening point, extends - according to the rotational movement - azimuthally to the axis of rotation of the adjustable guide element to allow the adjustable guide element to rotate about the axis of rotation.
- the screw is passed through the elongated hole, the angle of rotation of the adjustable guide element being relative is selectable to the base element by moving the elongated hole relative to the screw.
- the elongated screw fastening enables a continuous adjustment of the angle of rotation and thus also a continuous adjustment of the distance between the output side of the guide element surface and the transport plane of the value documents from the predefined minimum distance to the predefined maximum distance.
- the minimum and / or maximum distance can also be predefined by mechanical stops for the adjustable guide element.
- the adjustable Lei telement for fastening to the further fastening point can also have several individual holes which are arranged in the azimuthal direction to the axis of rotation.
- a pin-shaped fastening element corresponding to the hole size can - depending on the angle of rotation - optionally be inserted through one of these holes and fixed to the base element.
- the pin-shaped fastening element can be a screw or a pin that can be firmly plugged into the base element, the holes of the base element having a shape and size that exactly match the pin.
- the adjustable guide element can also be fastened to the further fastening point by means of a clamp that is detachably connected to the base element and for rotating the adjustable guide element about the axis of rotation is temporarily resolved.
- the base element is attached to the value document processing device in such a way that the position in which the base element is located relative to the transport plane of the value documents when the value documents are processed by the device cannot be adjusted.
- the distance that the output side of the guide element surface has from the transport plane is adjusted during the adjustment process, while the distance that the input side of the guide element surface has from the transport plane remains essentially the same during the adjustment process.
- the base element is, for example, the mounting plate to which the sensors of the value document processing device or their sensor mounts are attached.
- the receiving plate is in an unchangeable basic position when processing the value documents, but can optionally be temporarily displaceable for maintenance or cleaning purposes in order to enable manual access to the sensor surfaces outside of the processing of the value documents.
- the base element can also be fastened differently to the value-document processing device, the position of the base element not being adjustable relative to the transport plane.
- the axis of rotation about which the adjustable guide element is rotated relative to the base element, viewed along the transport direction, lies at the beginning of the adjustable guide element.
- the distance that the input side of the guide element surface has from the transport plane remains essentially the same during the adjustment process.
- the axis of rotation - based on the length of the adjustable guide element - is preferably in the first quarter of the adjustable guide element.
- the distance between the axis of rotation and the transport plane is preferably at least 5 mm, particularly preferably at least 8 mm.
- the relatively large distance between the axis of rotation on the input side ensures that the position of the input side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element is universal fits for different sensor distances of the respective previous sensor.
- the operator then advantageously only needs to adapt the output side of the guide element surface to the position of the subsequent sensor, without taking into account the input side of the guide element surface.
- the axis of rotation is preferably located in the immediate vicinity of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element, in particular at a distance of at most 5 mm from the guide element surface. It is thereby achieved that the rotation of the guide element leads to the smallest possible displacement of the guide element surface in the transport direction. The rotation of the guide element therefore requires little space and can take place in the narrow intermediate area between two sensors.
- the base element is attached to the value document processing device in such a way that the position in which the base element is relative to the transport plane of the value documents when the value documents are processed by the device can be adjusted. Due to the adjustability of both the adjustable guide element and the base element, both the distance that the input side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element has from the transport plane and the distance that the output side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element has from the transport plane, adjustable.
- the base element is attached to the value-document processing device in such a way that the position of the base element can be adjusted relative to the receiving plate to which the sensors of the value-document processing device or their sensor receptacles are attached.
- the base element is, for example, an intermediate plate specially designed to accommodate the adjustable guide element.
- the base element is preferably displaceable in the direction perpendicular to the plane of transport of the documents of value.
- the displaceability of the base element has the advantage that two degrees of freedom (rotation and displacement) are available during the adjustment process.
- the distances that the output side of the guide element surface and the input side of the guide element surface have from the transport plane can therefore be set independently of one another.
- the position of the guide element can thus be adapted to different sensor distances both on the input and on the output side, ie for the preceding and the following sensor.
- a larger adjustment range of the output side of the guide element surface can also be achieved.
- the setting of the adjustable guide element is therefore more flexible overall.
- the axis of rotation about which the adjustable guide element rotates relative to the base element is at least approximately in the middle between the input side and the output side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element.
- the axis of rotation is preferably in direct proximity to the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element, in particular at a distance of at most 5 mm from the guide element surface. It is thereby achieved that the rotation of the guide element leads to the smallest possible displacement of the guide element surface in the transport direction, so that the space required for the rotation is small.
- both the fastening of the adjustable guide element to the base element, in particular to the further fastening point, and the fastening of the base element to the document of value are temporarily released in order to adjust the adjustable guide element. working device.
- both fastenings are fixed again.
- the distance on the input side can be changed during the adjustment process, but it can also remain essentially the same.
- the adjustment process can take place in one step, while both fastenings are released, and comprise both a rotation of the adjustable guide element relative to the base element and a displacement of the base element relative to the value document processing device.
- the adjustment process preferably comprises two independent adjustment steps, with only the fastening of the adjustable guide element on the base element being temporarily released for a first of the two adjustment steps (while the fastening of the base element is fixed to the value document processing device) and for a second of the two adjustment steps only the attachment of the base element to the value document processing device is temporarily released (while the attachment of the adjustable guide element is fixed on the base element).
- the first adjustment step comprises a rotation of the adjustable guide element relative to the base element about the axis of rotation.
- the second adjustment step comprises a displacement of the base element, together with the adjustable guide element fixed on the base element, relative to the value document processing device, the displacement direction of which preferably runs at least approximately perpendicular to the transport plane of the value documents.
- the sequence of the two adjustment steps is arbitrary. They can also be repeated in order to iteratively adapt the position of the inlet and outlet sides of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element to that of the preceding and following sensors.
- the adjustable guide element can have one or more stiffening elements, which are arranged on the side of the adjustable guide element facing away from the transport plane and extend, for example, perpendicular or at an angle to the Extend guide element surface.
- the adjustable guide element has two such stiffening elements, one of which - viewed along the transport direction - is arranged at the beginning and the other at the end of the adjustable guide element.
- the invention also relates to a method for setting an adjustable guide element on the above-described value document processing device.
- the distance that the exit side of the guide element surface of the adjustable guide element has from the transport plane of the value documents is set in an adjustment process.
- the distance between the output side of the guide element surface and the transport plane is set in such a way that the output side of the guide element surface has the same or a slightly smaller distance from the transport plane than the subsequent sensor.
- the distance between the sensor following the adjustable guide element and the transport plane is increased, the distance between the output side of the guide element surface and the transport plane is also increased, and if the distance between the following sensor and the transport plane is reduced, also the The distance between the exit side of the guide element surface and the transport plane is reduced.
- the adjustment process of the adjustable guide element comprises at least that the attachment of the adjustable guide element to the base element is released, the adjustable guide element is moved relative to the base element, in particular rotated about the axis of rotation, and the adjustable guide element is fastened again to the base element.
- the fastening eg screw
- the base element is moved along the direction of displacement and the base element is fastened again (eg the screw is tightened again).
- the adjustment process of the adjustable guide element takes place while the value document processing by means of the value document processing device is interrupted. Outside of the adjustment process, the guide element is locked in such a way that it cannot be moved through the documents of value transported past.
- the adjustment process can be carried out manually during the interruption of the value document processing, for example by an operator of the value document processing device or the service personnel of the manufacturer of the value document processing device.
- the adjustment process can, however, also be carried out with the aid of appropriate actuators.

- the guide element surface of the non-adjustable guide element 9 has recesses for the transport rollers 3, see FIGS. 3 and 4. Since the guide element surface of the non-adjustable guide element 9 approaches the transport plane along the transport direction, the documents of value transported past are in the Transport level returned.
- the adjustable guide element 4 of the first exemplary embodiment is attached directly to the mounting plate 8 (base element of the first exemplary embodiment) to which the sensor mounts 61, 71, 81 of the sensors 60, 70, 80 are also attached.
- the adjustable guide element 4 is connected to the base element 8 via an axis of rotation A, around which the adjustable guide element 4 is rotatably mounted.
- the distance of the output side 12 of the guide element surface 7 is set by turning the guide element 4 so that it is somewhat smaller than the distance that the sensor front 72 of the sensor 70 has from the transport plane, for example at least 1 mm less.
- the angle of rotation and thus the position of the guide element 4 is fixed by tightening a screw 5, which passes through an azimuthally extending slot 6 of the adjustable guide element 4 through the axis of rotation 2b and 3.
- the dimensions of the elongated hole 6 define the angular range around which the adjustable guide element 4 can be rotated during the adjustment process, and thus also the adjustment range of the distance between the guide element surfaces - Exit side 12 from the transport level.
- the position of the adjustable cable Telements 4 of the first embodiment can only be adjusted in 1 degree of freedom (angle of rotation). This allows a simple adaptation of the distance between the guide element surface output side 12 and the subsequent sensor 70.
- the position of the axis of rotation A cannot be adjusted. Viewed along the transport direction, the axis of rotation A of the adjustable guide element 4 is at the beginning of the adjustable guide element 4. This makes it possible to adjust the guide element surfaces output side 12, while the guide element surfaces input side 11 is hardly adjusted during rotation.
- the distance between the axis of rotation A and the transport plane is generous, e.g. at least 5 mm, in order to allow a somewhat larger distance from the transport plane for the preceding sensor 80 or its sensor front 82.
- the adjustable guide element 14 of the second exemplary embodiment is not fastened directly on the receiving plate 8, but rather on a base element 16 which is designed as an intermediate plate and which is fastened to the receiving plate 8.
- the adjustable guide element 14 is connected to the base element 16 via an axis of rotation A, about which the adjustable guide element 14 is rotatably supported.
- the angle of rotation of the guide element 14 is fixed by tightening a screw 15, which is passed through an elongated hole 13 of the adjustable guide element 14 running in the azimuthal direction to the axis of rotation and is inserted in a thread in the base element 16, see of the elongated hole 13 define the angular range by which the adjustable guide element Ment 14 is rotatable in the adjustment before gear.
- the adjustable guide element 14 has two stiffening elements 19, which ensure a high mechanical stability of the guide element, see FIG. 2b.
- the base element 16 also has two straight elongated holes 18, 28, which run in the radial direction to the axis of rotation A (perpendicular to the transport plane).
- a screw 17 is passed through the elongated hole 18 of the adjustable guide element 14 and is inserted in a thread in the receiving plate 8 in order to fasten the base element 16 to the receiving plate 8.
- the base element 16 is guided by means of a guide pin 27 which protrudes into the elongated hole 28 and is firmly anchored in the receiving plate, see FIGS. 4, 5a, b.
- the base element 16 is displaceable along the straight elongated holes 18, 28 in the direction perpendicular to the transport plane. By moving the base element 16, the distance between the axis of rotation A and the transport plane is also adjusted.
- the position of the adjustable guide element 14 of the second exemplary embodiment can be adjusted in two degrees of freedom (rotation of the and displacement). This allows an adaptation of the distance both of the guide element surface input side 11 to the preceding sensor 70 and of the guide element surface output side 12 to the following sensor 60.
- the adjustment process comprises at least 2 steps:
- the respective person who carries out the adjustment process is guided by the difference in the distances between the preceding sensor 70 and the following sensor 60 from the transport plane.
- the position of the base element 16 is selected relative to the transport plane.
- the distance from the output side 12 of the guide element surface 7 is set by turning the guide element 14 and moving the base element 16 so that it is slightly less than the distance between the inlet edge of the sensor front 62 of the sensor 60, e.g. at least 1 mm less.
- FIG. 5a and 5b two different settings of the adjustable Lei telements 14 of the second embodiment in a perpendicular to the axis of rotation A section plane are shown.
- the following sensor 60 is located very close to the transport plane, while the preceding sensor 70 is further away from the transport plane. Accordingly, a large angle of rotation of the adjustable guide element 14 was set in order to bring the guide element output surface 12 to an even smaller distance from the transport plane than the following sensor 60, and to position the guide element input side 11 a little further away from the transport plane than the previous one Sensor 70
- FIG. 5b both the preceding sensor 70 and the following sensor 60 are located at a short distance from the transport plane.
- the angle of rotation of the adjustable guide element 14 was therefore reduced compared to the setting from FIG. 5a and the base element 16 (with the adjustable guide element 14 located on it) moved perpendicular to the transport plane to both the guide element input side 11 and the guide element output side 12 close to the transport level. Also with the setting from FIG. 5b, the angle of rotation and the displacement are set such that the guide element input side 11 is somewhat further away from the transport plane than the preceding sensor 70 and the guide element output side 12 is somewhat closer to the transport plane than the subsequent sensor 60.
