Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for sorting banknotes.
- a device for sorting banknotes according to the preamble of claim 1 is known, which has an input tray for receiving banknotes, a separating device, a transport system, arranged along the transport system testing device and at least one storage device.
- compact devices for sorting banknotes such as table devices, have such EP 0 952 556 A2 known, the problem of providing a sufficiently long transport path for the transport system in order to have sufficient space, especially for the testing device and the storage facilities. From the prior art it can be seen that this problem can be solved by the transport system running in a loop, resulting in a compact overall design a longer transport path.
- the transport system runs substantially parallel to the outer contours of the device for sorting banknotes. This ensures that the device can be opened particularly well along the transport system, since in this case can not arise hidden by the parts of the device areas in the transport system.
- the transport system itself is separable. This is achieved by distributing the components of the transport system to the three parts of the banknote sorting apparatus so that the transport system is opened when the two outer parts are removed along the transport path of the banknotes.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of an inventive device 1 for sorting banknotes in the closed state.
- the banknote sorting apparatus 1 has three parts 11, 12, 13. The three parts consist of a central, fixed part 12 which is surrounded by removable outer parts 11 and 13. In the area of one of the outer parts 11 is an input tray 40, in which the banknotes to be sorted are inserted.
- This has a spiral stacker 20 and a storage compartment 21.
- the banknotes are transversely processed, that is, the banknotes are transported along their transverse format, and all processing steps are taken along the transverse format of the banknotes.
- the device 1 is thus suitable to be operated by both a sitting and a standing user, because the input tray 40 and the storage devices 20, 21 are within reach of the arm.
- the device 1 for sorting banknotes has an operating device 30 which has an input unit 31, a display unit 32 and a printer 33 and an interface or a reading device 34 for a storage medium 35.
- Input unit 31 and display unit 32 serve to control the apparatus for processing banknotes in operation and to select, for example, desired sorting possibilities.
- the storage medium 35 By means of the storage medium 35, it is possible for a user to identify himself as an authorized user in relation to the device 1. It is also possible that user-specific operating modes, settings or accounting data are stored on the storage medium 35, whereby a user-specific operation is enabled, or the use of the stored data on other devices.
- the storage medium 35 may be, for example, a chip card or a flash memory card with a corresponding interface 34.
- the operating device 30 may be wired or wireless, z. B. by infrared or radio waves, be connected to the device 1 for sorting banknotes.
- the use of an external operating device 30, in particular with regard to ergonomic requirements, results in an improvement because the operating device 30 is not fixedly connected to the device 1, thereby enabling a user to arrange the operating device 30 according to his physical requirements.
- the three parts 11, 12, 13 of the banknote sorting apparatus 1 form two outer parts 11 and 13 and an inner part 12, the outer parts 11 and 13 can be opened and are in the closed state along the contours marked A and B. on the inner part 12.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the device 1 for sorting banknotes after FIG. 1 in the open state.
- the outer parts 11 and 13 are pivoted away from the inner part 12 and parts of the transport system transporting the banknotes are visible.
- the transport system consists essentially of two sections TA and TB, which in turn are essentially defined by the contours designated A and B.
- FIG. 3 shows a section across the transport path of the banknotes by the device 1 for sorting banknotes after FIG. 1 when closed, with the three parts 11, 12, 13 and other components.
- a singulator 41, 42, 43 is arranged with a singler 43, a scrubhalterad 41 and a feed 42.
- the feed 42 has the task of transporting the individual banknotes of an opened banknote stack to be separated to the singling wheel 43 and the retaining wheel 41.
- Singler wheel 43 and retaining wheel 41 may be designed, for example, as ReibradAssistedzler, is ensured in the fixed friction conditions of singler 43 and rinsead 41 that only one bill is detected and forwarded to the first section TB of the transport system.
- the section TB of the transport system essentially passes through a check device 50, 51 for banknotes.
- the testing device 50, 51 is arranged on both sides of the transport system so that the banknotes transported along the transport path can be checked both from the front and from the back.
- the test device 50, 51 is formed by two separate containers in which different sensors are arranged.
- FIG. 2 the basic structure of one of the containers 50 of the test device 50, 51 is shown.
- openings or windows 54 for the sensors alternate with components of the transport system.
- the components of the transport system 55 are formed for example by rubber rollers. As a result, the use of transport belts within the test device 50 can be avoided, which is why the sensors can evaluate the entire surface of the transported banknotes.
- the components of the transport system 55 are connected to the test device 50, 51 and the containers, resulting in an easy interchangeability of the entire test device 50, 51 results
- a control unit 60 for example a microprocessor with associated memory, which controls the sorting and filing process in the banknote sorting apparatus 1, and in particular, evaluates the signals from the sensors of the tester 50, 51.
- the banknotes are forwarded from the first section TB to the second section TA of the transport system.
- the second section TA storage facilities which is in the direction of the transport path last identified by the reference numerals 20, 21, are controlled by the control unit 60, the checked banknotes filed.
- existing switches are controlled in the transport system, which forward the respective banknotes, according to the result of the test and the sorting option selected by means of the operating device 30, the respective storage device.
- FIG. 4 shows a section across the transport path of the banknotes by the device 1 for sorting banknotes after FIG. 2 or the FIG. 3 in open condition.
- the two outer parts 11 and 13 of the device 1 are pivoted about the axes 14 and 15.
- the axes 14 and 15 are fixed to a bottom plate 16, on which also the middle, fixed part 12 is mounted.
- the central, fixed part 12 also retains its position when opened.
- In the middle, fixed part 12 of the motor 65 is arranged, which drives the transport system by means of belt or toothed belt 2. It is also possible to use gears instead of the belts shown.
- FIG. 4 It can be seen that only the component of the transport system is driven by the belt 2 directly from the motor, which is arranged in the central, fixed part 12.
- the components of the transport system in the outer, removable main parts 11 and 13 are driven by corresponding components of the transport system in the central, fixed body 12 when the device 1 is closed.
- the drive energy can be transmitted by friction, z. B. by rubber rollers, or by means of gears.
- FIG. 4 It can also be seen that the components of the transport system 55 are firmly connected within the testing device 50, 51. An exchange is thus, as described above, easily possible. This also applies to the container 51 of the test device 50, 51, which is located in the central, fixed part 12 of the device 1, since the components of the transport system of the container 51 is integrated only by means of two belts 2 in the drive of the transport system.
- the transition along the transport path of the transport system from section TB to section TA is designed so that only a short, easily accessible transition area arises from which possibly misdirected banknotes can be removed without problems.
- an axis can also be provided for the inner part 12 in the region of the base plate 16 about which the middle part can be pivoted. It can thereby be achieved that also the portion of the transport system between the bottom plate 16 and the inner part 12 is readily accessible.
- the described apparatus 1 for sorting banknotes has the advantage that, in particular, the transport path of the banknotes along the critical devices, such as singler 41, 42, 43, testing device 50, 51 and depositing device 20 can be opened, as a result of which stoppings of banknotes are unproblematically removed can be.
- the use of only one pivot axis 14,15 for each of the sections TA, TB of the transport system results in a mechanical structure, which has the advantage that very clear and widely openable areas along the transport system for troubleshooting or maintenance are accessible.
- pivot axes 14, 15 and rails or the like can be used, on which the outer parts 11,13 can be removed by pushing from the middle part 12.
- sensors such as light barriers, can be used, which are arranged along the transport system. Suitable locations for such sensors are located in each case before or after the individual devices of the apparatus 1 for processing banknotes, namely the singulator 41, 42, 43, the test device 50, 51 and the storage devices or the points described above in the transport system. If an erroneous transport is detected by means of the sensors, it is possible, for example, to display on the display 32 of the external operating device 30 which of the removable outer parts 11 and / or 13 is to be opened in order to eliminate the fault. As a result, an unnecessary opening of one of the two parts 11 or 13 can be avoided. It is also possible to display an ad, eg. B. a light emitting diode to the outer parts 11 and 13, which indicate the opening part 11 and / or 13. The sensors for detecting a false transport are evaluated by the control unit 60, which controls the display accordingly.
- Further displays can be provided for the three storage compartments, which indicate when a predetermined maximum number of bank notes has been stored in the respective storage compartment, since this storage compartment is otherwise no longer available for further processing.
- the displays can be located directly on the storage compartments or the display can be made on the display 32 of the external operating device 30.
- the full display is activated by the control unit 60 when a sensor in the respective storage compartment signals that the maximum number of banknotes has been stored.
- the maximum number of banknotes to be deposited can also be determined by the control unit 60 in that it counts each stored in a storage compartment during processing banknotes until a predetermined size, z. B. 100 banknotes was reached. After removal of the banknotes by a user who z. B. by evaluation of the respective sensor in the respective storage compartment can be determined by the control unit 60, the respective storage compartment is again available for receiving more banknotes available, making a total of faster processing of the banknotes to be processed is possible.

Aus der
Die bekannten Einrichtungen weisen jedoch das Problem auf, daß das Transportsystem und somit der Transportweg der Banknoten nicht ohne weiteres für einen Benutzer zugänglich ist. Banknoten, die aufgrund von Fehltransport das Transportsystem blockieren, können deshalb nicht ohne weiteres entfernt werden.However, the known devices have the problem that the transport system and thus the transport path of the banknotes is not readily accessible to a user. Banknotes which block the transport system due to incorrect transport can therefore not be easily removed.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum Sortieren von Banknoten anzugeben, die kompakt aufgebaut ist und eine gute Zugänglichkeit zum Transportsystem gewährt.It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for sorting banknotes, which is compact in construction and provides good accessibility to the transport system.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of
Dabei wird von der Überlegung ausgegangen, den Aufbau der Vorrichtung zum Sortieren von Banknoten so zu gestalten, daß sich eine gute Zugänglichkeit zum Transportsystem ergibt. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Vorrichtung zum Sortieren von Banknoten im wesentlichen auf drei Teile aufgeteilt wird, wobei ein feststehendes mittleres Teil von zwei entfernbaren äußeren Teilen umgeben wird. Durch das Entfernen der äußeren Teile wird das Transportsystem, das im wesentlichen entlang der Trennlinie zwischen den drei Teilen angeordnet ist, gut zugänglich.It is assumed that the idea of designing the structure of the device for sorting banknotes so that there is a good accessibility to the transport system. This is achieved by substantially dividing the banknote sorting apparatus into three parts, with a fixed central portion surrounded by two removable outer parts. By removing the outer parts of the transport system, which is arranged substantially along the dividing line between the three parts, easily accessible.
In einer Weiterbildung ist es vorgesehen, daß das Transportsystem im wesentlichen parallel zu den äußeren Konturen der Vorrichtung zum Sortieren von Banknoten verläuft. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß sich die Vorrichtung besonders gut entlang des Transportsystems öffnen läßt, da in diesem Fall keine durch die Teile der Vorrichtung verdeckten Bereiche im Transportsystem entstehen können.In a further development, it is provided that the transport system runs substantially parallel to the outer contours of the device for sorting banknotes. This ensures that the device can be opened particularly well along the transport system, since in this case can not arise hidden by the parts of the device areas in the transport system.
In einer anderen Weiterbildung ist es vorgesehen, daß das Transportsystem selbst auftrennbar ist. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Bestandteile des Transportsystems so auf die drei Teile der Vorrichtung zum Sortieren von Banknoten verteilt sind, daß das Transportsystem beim Entfernen der beiden äußeren Teile entlang des Transportwegs der Banknoten geöffnet wird.In another embodiment, it is provided that the transport system itself is separable. This is achieved by distributing the components of the transport system to the three parts of the banknote sorting apparatus so that the transport system is opened when the two outer parts are removed along the transport path of the banknotes.

Gleichartige in den Figuren dargestellte Bestandteile sind mittels der selben Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet.Similar components shown in the figures are identified by the same reference numerals.
Aus der kompakten Bauform ergeben sich Vorteile hinsichtlich ergonomischer Erfordernisse, da die Vorrichtung 1 dadurch geeignet ist, sowohl von einem sitzenden als auch einem stehenden Benutzer bedient zu werden, weil sich das Eingabefach 40 und die Ablageeinrichtungen 20, 21 innerhalb der Reichweite des Armes befinden.From the compact design, there are advantages in terms of ergonomic requirements, since the
Die Vorrichtung 1 zum Sortieren von Banknoten weist eine Bedieneinrichtung 30 auf, die über eine Eingabeeinheit 31, eine Anzeigeeinheit 32 und einen Drucker 33 sowie eine Schnittstelle bzw. eine Leseeinrichtung 34 für ein Speichermedium 35 verfügt. Eingabeeinheit 31 und Anzeigeeinheit 32 dienen dazu, die Vorrichtung zur Bearbeitung von Banknoten im Betrieb zu steuern und beispielsweise gewünschte Sortiermöglichteinen auszuwählen. Mittels des Speichermediums 35 ist es möglich, daß ein Benutzer sich gegenüber der Vorrichtung 1 als berechtigter Benutzer ausweist. Ebenso ist es möglich, daß benutzerspezifische Bedienmoden, Einstellungen oder Abrechnungsdaten auf dem Speichermedium 35 gespeichert sind, wodurch eine benutzerspezifische Bedienung ermöglicht wird, bzw. die Verwendung der gespeicherten Daten auf anderen Vorrichtungen. Das Speichermedium 35 kann beispielsweise eine Chipkarte oder eine Flash-Speicherkarte mit entsprechender Schnittstelle 34 sein. Die Bedieneinrichtung 30 kann drahtgebunden oder drahtlos, z. B. mittels Infrarot oder Radiowellen, mit der Vorrichtung 1 zum Sortieren von Banknoten verbunden sein. Durch die Verwendung einer externen Bedieneinrichtung 30 tritt insbesondere hinsichtlich ergonomischer Anforderungen eine Verbesserung ein, weil die Bedieneinrichtung 30 nicht fest mit der Vorrichtung 1 verbunden ist, wodurch es einem Benutzer ermöglicht wird, die Bedieneinrichtung 30 entsprechend seiner körperlichen Erfordernisse anzuordnen.The
Die drei Teile 11, 12, 13 der Vorrichtung 1 zum Sortieren von Banknoten bilden zwei äußere Teile 11 und 13 sowie ein inneres Teil 12, die äußeren Teile 11 und 13 können geöffnet werden und liegen im geschlossenen Zustand entlang der mit A und B bezeichneten Konturen am inneren Teil 12 an.The three
Es ist ersichtlich, daß unter dem Eingabefach 40 eine Vereinzelungseinrichtung 41, 42, 43 mit einem Vereinzlerrad 43, einer Rückhalterad 41 und einem Vorschub 42 angeordnet ist. Der Vorschub 42 hat die Aufgabe, die einzelnen Banknoten eines aufgelegten, zu vereinzelnden Banknotenstapels zum Vereinzlerrad 43 und dem Rückhalterad 41 zu transportieren. Vereinzlerrad 43 und Rückhalterad 41 können beispielsweise als Reibradvereinzler ausgelegt sein, bei dem über festgelegte Reibverhältnisse von Vereinzlerrad 43 und Rückhalterad 41 sichergestellt ist, daß immer nur eine Banknote erfaßt und an den ersten Abschnitt TB des Transportsystems weitergeleitet wird.It can be seen that under the
Der Abschnitt TB des Transportsystems führt im wesentlichen durch eine Prüfeinrichtung 50, 51 für Banknoten. Die Prüfeinrichtung 50, 51 ist zu beiden Seiten des Transportsystems so angeordnet, daß die entlang des Transportwegs transportierten Banknoten sowohl von der Vorder- als auch von der Rückseite geprüft werden können. Die Prüfeinrichtung 50, 51 wird von zwei gesonderten Behältnissen gebildet, in denen verschiedene Sensoren angeordnet sind.The section TB of the transport system essentially passes through a

Nach der Prüfeinrichtung 50, 51 werden die Banknoten vom ersten Abschnitt TB zum zweiten Abschnitt TA des Transportsystems weiterbefördert. In die entlang des zweiten Abschnitts TA angeordneten Ablageeinrichtungen, deren in Richtung des Transportwegs letzt gelegene mit den Bezugszeichen 20, 21 gekennzeichnet ist, werden, gesteuert durch die Steuereinheit 60, die geprüften Banknoten abgelegt. Dazu werden im Transportsystem vorhandene Weichen angesteuert, welche die jeweiligen Banknoten, entsprechend des Ergebnisses der Prüfung und der mittels der Bedieneinrichtung 30 gewählten Sortiermöglichkeit, der jeweiligen Ablageeinrichtung zuleiten. Durch die Umlenkung der beförderten Banknoten nach der Prüfeinrichtung 50, 51 von Abschnitt B zu Abschnitt A des Transportsystems entsteht eine Nachlaufzone für die Banknoten. Dadurch steht ein größerer Zeitraum für die Auswertung der von der Prüfeinrichtung 50, 51 gelieferten Signale durch die Steuereinheit 60 zur Verfügung, weshalb eine verringerte Leistungsfähigkeit (Rechnerleistung bzw. Speicherkapazität) der Steuereinheit 60 akzeptabel ist, um die Überprüfung der Bankoten während der dadurch verlängerten Transportzeit der Banknoten durchzuführen.After the
In der Darstellung sind die beiden äußeren Teile 11 und 13 der Vorrichtung 1 um die Achsen 14 und 15 geschwenkt. Die Achsen 14 und 15 sind an einer Bodenplatte 16 befestigt, auf der auch das mittlere, feststehende Teil 12 angebracht ist. Das mittlere, feststehende Teil 12 behält auch im geöffneten Zustand seine Position. Im mittleren, feststehenden Teil 12 ist der Motor 65 angeordnet, der das Transportsystem mittels Riemen oder Zahnriemen 2 antreibt. Ebenso ist es möglich statt der dargestellten Riemen Zahnräder zu verwenden. Aus

Die beschriebene Vorrichtung 1 zum Sortieren von Banknoten weist den Vorteil auf, daß insbesondere der Transportweg der Banknoten entlang der kritischen Einrichtungen, wie Vereinzler 41,42,43, Prüfeinrichtung 50, 51 und Ablageeinrichtung 20 geöffnet werden kann, wodurch auftretende Stauungen von Banknoten unproblematisch entfernt werden können. Durch die Verwendung von nur je einer Schwenkachse 14,15 für jeden der Abschnitte TA, TB des Transportsystems ergibt sich ein mechanischer Aufbau, der den Vorteil aufweist, daß sehr übersichtliche und weit öffenbare Bereiche entlang des Transportsystems zur Störungsbeseitigung oder Wartung zugänglich werden. Statt Schwenkachsen 14, 15 können auch Schienen oder dergleichen verwendet werden, auf denen die äußeren Teile 11,13 durch Schieben vom mittleren Teil 12 entfernt werden können.The described
Um fehltransportierte Banknoten zu erkennen, können Sensoren, beispielsweise Lichtschranken, verwendet werden, die entlang des Transportsystems angeordnet sind. Geeignete Stellen für derartige Sensoren befinden sich jeweils vor oder nach den einzelnen Einrichtungen der Vorrichtung 1 zum Bearbeiten von Banknoten, nämlich der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 41, 42, 43, der Prüfeinrichtung 50, 51 und den Ablageeinrichtungen bzw. den oben beschriebenen Weichen im Transportsystem. Wird ein Fehltransport mittels der Sensoren erkannt, kann beispielsweise auf der Anzeige 32 der externen Bedieneinrichtung 30 angezeigt werden, welches der entfernbaren, äußeren Teile 11 und/oder 13 zu öffnen ist, um den Fehler zu beseitigen. Dadurch kann ein nicht nötiges Öffnen eines der beiden Teile 11 oder 13 vermieden werden. Ebenso ist es möglich, eine Anzeige, z. B. eine Leuchtdiode an den äußeren Teilen 11 und 13 vorzusehen, die das zu öffnende Teil 11 und/ oder 13 anzeigen. Die Sensoren zur Erkennung eines Fehltransports werden von der Steuereinheit 60 ausgewertet, welche die Anzeige entsprechend ansteuert.To detect mis-transported banknotes, sensors, such as light barriers, can be used, which are arranged along the transport system. Suitable locations for such sensors are located in each case before or after the individual devices of the
Weitere Anzeigen können für die drei Ablagefächer vorgesehen werden, die anzeigen, wenn eine vorgegebenen maximale Anzahl von Banknoten in das jeweilige Ablagefach abgelegt worden ist, da dieses Ablagefach sonst nicht mehr für die weitere Bearbeitung zur Verfügung steht. Die Anzeigen können sich direkt an den Ablagefächern befinden oder die Anzeige kann auf der Anzeige 32 der externen Bedieneinrichtung 30 erfolgen. Die Voll-Anzeige wird von der Steuereinheit 60 angesteuert, wenn ein Sensor im jeweiligen Ablagefach signalisiert, daß die maximale Anzahl von Banknoten abgelegt worden ist. Die maximale Anzahl von abzulegenden Banknoten kann auch von der Steuereinheit 60 dadurch ermittelt werden, daß sie die jeweils in ein Ablagefach während der Bearbeitung abgelegten Banknoten zählt, bis eine vorgebbare Größe, z. B. 100 Banknoten, erreicht wurde. Nach der Entnahme der Banknoten durch einen Benutzer, die z. B. durch Auswertung des jeweiligen Sensors im jeweiligen Ablagefach durch die Steuereinheit 60 ermittelt werden kann, steht das jeweilige Ablagefach wieder zur Aufnahme weiterer Banknoten zur Verfügung, wodurch insgesamt eine zügigere Abarbeitung der zu bearbeitenden Banknoten ermöglicht wird.Further displays can be provided for the three storage compartments, which indicate when a predetermined maximum number of bank notes has been stored in the respective storage compartment, since this storage compartment is otherwise no longer available for further processing. The displays can be located directly on the storage compartments or the display can be made on the
