Definitions
- the invention relates to a banknote reader of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
- banknote readers are suitable, for example, for triggering a service in vending machines by means of predetermined nominal values for banknotes.
- a banknote reader of this type is known from FR-A 2'453'811, in which an entry lock in front of a banknote tester prevents further banknotes from being pushed in too quickly until the tester checks the authenticity of the banknote or the banknote is rejected or stacked Has.
- US-PS 4'807'736 and US-PS 4'858'744 describe compact banknote readers for installation in vending machines, which are housed together with a banknote container in the same frame to save space.
- the CH-PS 661 603 and the above-mentioned patents show the arrangement of testing devices that scan the banknotes with an optical or magnetic method, as well as devices for transporting the banknotes.
- the banknotes are stacked in cash cassettes known from CH-PS 658 736, for example, which are secured against unauthorized theft of banknotes.
- a stacking device shows Research Disclosure, December 1984, RD 24820.
- the invention has for its object to provide an inexpensive banknote reader that does not have these disadvantages, but can be easily adapted to customer requirements and is easy to maintain.
- FIG. 1 shows a cuboid banknote reader with a cash container arranged underneath
- FIG. 2 the banknote reader with the money container arranged above the housing
- 3 a and b show an installation unit for maintenance work from the front
- FIG. 5 a vending machine
- Figure 7 shows the installation unit with a mounting plate
- FIG. 8 the banknote reader with a deflector.
- 1 means one of the two, essentially rectangular, side plates of a parallelepiped-shaped banknote reader, which are arranged in parallel at a predetermined distance and whose end part 2 is attached to one narrow side of the side plates 1 in an easily replaceable manner.
- the side boards 1 are delimited on the rear narrow side by a border 3 or 3 '.
- the front part 2 projects through a cutout 4 in a wall 5, e.g. B. out of a vending machine 6.
- the front part 2 has at least one acceptance opening 7 for banknotes 8.
- the edge of the cutout 4 hides a base part 2 ′ of the front part 2, on which the front part 2 is fastened to the side boards 1.
- the common contact surfaces of the edge of the cutout 4 with the base part 2 ' are selected such that they prevent access to the interior of the vending machine 6.
- the banknote reader is to protect against dust and mechanical damage in a z. B. folded from sheet metal, tubular sleeve 9 of rectangular cross-section, which on a first narrow side 9 'has a connection opening 10 arranged between the side plates 1 to a detachably connected to the sleeve 9 money container 11 to the banknotes 8 after the acceptance decision in the money container 11 collect.
- the length of the sleeve 9 is such that the banknote reader is within the sleeve 9 from the base part 2 1 to the edge 3 or 3 '.
- the side boards 1 Under the second narrow side 12, which lies opposite the first narrow side 9, the side boards 1 have a cutout for a flap 13.
- the flap 13 is pivotally mounted about an axis anchored in the side plates 1 as a hinge 13 '. As soon as the banknote reader is pulled out of the sleeve 9, the flap 13 can be opened and allows free access for maintenance work on the banknote reader in the interior 14 between the side boards 1. For example, in the drawing of FIG. 1 the flap 13 shows the hinge 13 'in the immediate vicinity to the border 3, with the dashed lines the flap 13 at Indicate opening.
- the interior 14 of the banknote reader offers space for a system 15 for conveying the banknotes 8, which defines a transport path on which the banknotes 8 are individually transported through components of the banknote reader arranged along the transport path.
- the easily exchangeable modules determine the function of the banknote reader and are assigned to fixed places along the transport route. For example, belts which are guided over rollers and are not shown here form the transport system 15, the axes of the rollers perpendicularly piercing the side plates 1.
- a switch 19 can be connected behind the test device 18, which branches into a return channel 20 through the end wall 2 and to a stacker 21.
- the switch 19 nor the stacker 21 are installed in the interior 14, the space for the non-installed components 19 and 21 remaining free for any retrofitting.
- the side boards 1 therefore form a scaffolding for the banknote reader.
- the acceptance opening 7 and the return channel 20 are narrow rectangles r in cross section which are oriented perpendicular to the side boards 1 and whose width corresponds to the dimensions of the largest nominal value of the banknotes 8 predetermined for acceptance. So that the banknote reader can be sold in many countries without major changes, the distance between the side plates 1 is preferably based on the dimensions of the largest banknote, the country-specific front part 2 being selected in accordance with the nominal values.
- a space which is located between the input channel 16 and the transport path leading across the stacker 21 to the front part 2 is occupied by a drive unit 22 coupled to the transport system 15.
- the transport path is folded. After the test device 18, the transport path turns 180 ° towards the front part 2 towards the first narrow side 9 and leads between the test device 18 and the space for the stacker 21 to the entrance of the switch 19, which is located immediately behind the return channel 20.
- the transport path branches into the switch 19.
- the one branch leads to the return channel 20, the other branch bends towards the stacker 21 again after the first narrow side 9 by 180 ° in the direction of the rear edge 3. It opens into a conveyor belt 23 of the truck 21. All the mechanical functions of the truck 21 can be driven, for example, by the common drive unit 22.
- the conveyor belt 23 extends parallel to the first narrow side 9 from the switch 19 to the rear edge 3, so that the transport path is folded in a Z-like manner.
- the stacker 21 has a motor-driven tappet which conveys the banknotes 8 aligned by the conveyor belt 23 to the connection opening 10 into the money container 11.
- the side boards 1 have a greater length, the elongated section with the border 3 'being shown in dashed lines in the drawing in FIG. It is also conceivable that the intermediate cash register 24 can also be placed on top, so that the banknote reader has the advantage of being retrofittable with the intermediate cash register 24.
- the intermediate checkout 24 accepts the banknotes 8 individually entered by the customer through the acceptance opening 7 at the end of the conveyor belt 23 and deposits them on a bundle formed by banknotes already entered.
- the intermediate cash register 24 delivers the bundle to the conveyor belt 23 again at a command from a control device 25, the bundle as a whole being conveyed in the opposite direction from the conveyor belt 23 in the direction of the switch 19.
- the bundle can be pushed into the money container 11 by the stacker 21 or returned to the customer by the conveyor belt 23 by means of a guide plate 26 through the return channel 20.
- a control device 25 monitors the functions of the banknote reader, evaluates the measurement results of the checking device 18 and, when predetermined sales criteria are met, releases the service of the vending machine 6.
- the control device 25 is installed in the flap 13, which can be pivoted with it that both the control device 25 and the input channel 16 and the test device 18 are easily accessible from the second narrow side 12 during maintenance work.
- the built-in components 16, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 24 are connected to the electronic control device 25 via lines
- the control device 25 recognizes which of the modules 16, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 24 are connected to it and is set up to read its program for reading banknotes in accordance with the connected modules 16, 18 , 19, 21, 22 and 24.
- the banknote reader has the advantage that it can be subsequently Most additional functions are carried out in accordance with the additionally installed component or locked again, without the control unit 25 itself having to be replaced or reprogrammed.
- the banknote 8 inserted through the acceptance opening 7 is aligned precisely in the input channel 16 with the transport system 15, which detects the banknote 8 at the input 17 to the checking device 18 and conveys it further.
- the input channel 16 prevents further banknotes 8 from being pushed in until the test device 18 for the next banknote 8 is free again.
- the test device 18 scans the characteristic features of the bank note 8 using an optical and / or magnetic method.
- the measured values transmitted to the control device 25 or characteristic values derived therefrom are compared with stored target values. If there is a match, the control device 25 judges the bank note 8 as acceptable, which, for. B. can be stored in the buffer 24 until the customer decides whether he wants the service or not.
- the intermediate store 24 conveys the banknotes 8 into the stacker 21, which conveys them into the money container with the motor-driven ram.
- the buffer store 24 transfers the banknotes 8 already entered to the conveyor belt 23, which transports the banknotes 8 through the space of the stacker 21 and transfers them to the customer via the guide plate 26 in the switch 19 through the return channel 20 returns.
- the banknote reader is arranged in the cutout 4 rotated through 180 ° about its longitudinal axis, so that the money container 11 is located above the side boards 1 and new installation options can advantageously be developed.
- the stacker 21 is necessary to stuff the banknotes 8 (FIG. 1) upward into the money container 11.
- the only adaptation of the banknote reader for installation in this position is the exchange of the front part 2 (FIG. 1) for the front part 27, the acceptance opening 7 and return channel 20 of which are designed differently for the more convenient insertion of the banknotes 8, the acceptance opening 7 being viewed by the customer is arranged below the return channel 20. Also in the front part 27, the acceptance opening 7 and the return channel 20 are also inclined slightly downwards towards the customer.
- the front parts 2 and the front parts 27 can be molded entirely from glass fiber reinforced plastic. This technique allows good ergonomic shapes of the acceptance opening 7 and the return channel 20 to be produced inexpensively.
- a signal display 7 ′ which is connected to the control unit 25 and which, for example, prompts the user to insert further bank notes 8.
- the transport path formed by the transport system 15 is shown as an example in a U-shape. After the checking device 18, the transport path bends 180 ° directly to the stacker 21 and transfers the bank note 8 directly to the conveyor belt 23.
- the shorter transport path has the advantage that the bank note 8 reaches the stacker 21 faster.
- the transport system 15 comprises the switch 19 arranged at the stacker entrance after the testing device 18, one branch of which guides the transport route to the main route of the switch in order to flow into this main route after a turn of 180 °.
- the trunk section of the switch 19 forms the conveyor belt 23.
- the switch 19 has a pivotably arranged guide plate 26 which is held in the rest position by means of a spring 26 ′′, the bank notes 8 being fed from the trunk section of the switch 19 into a branch 23 ′ of the Conveyor belts 23, for example, can be steered to the intermediate checkout 24 (FIG. 1) since the branch to the transport path is covered ..
- a banknote 8 fed from the transport path swivels the guide plate 26 against the force of the spring 26 'in front of the branch 23' and becomes deflected from the guide plate 26 to the conveyor belt 23 and conveyed into the stacker 21.
- the passive control of the switch 19 has the advantage of simplicity and a relief of the power supply and the control device 25 (FIG. 1), since only by reversing the drive unit 22 (FIG. 1) ), i.e. by changing the transport direction, the transport route in the switch 19 is determined.
- the banknote reader has the advantage that after the front part 27 is simply exchanged for the front part 27, the area of application of the banknote reader is expanded and that Both simple and comfortable versions can be produced with the same components and the simple versions can be retrofitted at any time even under difficult conditions in the field.
- the modules with the same functions can have different designs, whereby they have to meet the requirements regarding the space requirement and the transport route of the banknotes 8.
- the test device 18 is mentioned here, which depending on the design optically and / or magnetically scans the features of the banknote 8.
- the money container 11 has a lever 28 which acts on a slide for opening and closing its inlet opening.
- a mechanical sensor 29, which is advantageously arranged on the cash container 11, is set up to sense the relative position of the cash container 11 to the sleeve 9 or to the connection opening 10.
- the sensor 29 prevents the money container 11 from opening as long as the sensor 29 is not pre-locked in the sleeve 9. Conversely, the money container 11 cannot be removed from the sleeve 9 when the connection opening 10 is still open and the sensor 29 is engaged. This increases security against unauthorized manipulation by unauthorized persons.
- the simplest embodiment of the banknote reader described above, without switch 19, stacker 21 and cash register 24, has a transport path according to FIG. 2 and can only be used in the installed position according to FIG.
- the banknotes 8 accepted by the control device 25 are guided by the transport system 15 to the connection opening 10 and fall loosely into the money container 11, which can be an open container, for example a simple sack. Banknotes 8 that are not accepted are returned by the transport system 15.
- the bank note 8 is returned to the user by the transport system 15 by reversing the transport direction through the acceptance opening 7 as soon as the control unit 25 is for the Return has decided.
- the control unit 25 is advantageously set up to recognize a coding in connection with the plug contact of the signal display 7 ', for. B. by means of a short-circuit bridge in the plug part.
- the control unit 25 reads out the connector coding and informs itself of the presence of the return channel 20 so that the program of the control unit 25 adapts to the execution of the banknote reader.
- the banknotes 8 are to be aligned in the checking device 18 for reading and recognition.
- the bank note 8 must be aligned left-aligned in the acceptance opening 7, since this alignment is easiest for the customer.
- This requires an asymmetrical arrangement of the modules in the scaffolding of the banknote reader and the inlet opening of the money container 11 in order to securely stack even narrow banknotes 8.
- the asymmetrical arrangement requires an arrangement of the building blocks which can be displaced perpendicularly to the side boards 1 in order to ensure that the banknotes 8 are left-aligned in all installation positions of the banknote reader.
- the predetermined position of the banknote 8 can be checked in the acceptance opening 7 of the front or front part 2 or 27.
- the locking of the sensor 29 is to be matched to one of the two permissible versions A and B of the money container 11.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show four possible combinations of the arrangement of the banknote reader and the cash container 11, as can be used for installation in the vending machine 6 (FIG. 1).

- the transport path in the area of the input channel 16 (FIG. 1) and the test device 18 (FIG. 1) can be completely exposed, in particular to maintain or adjust sensors of the test device 18.
- the banknotes 8 are entered in FIG. 8 into the schematically drawn, U-shaped transport path through the acceptance opening 7 in the front part 2, the banknote 8 in the direction of the Arrows 48 is transported.
- a deflector 49 instead of the stacker 21 (FIG. 2), a deflector 49, which is controlled by the test device 18 (FIG. 1) like the switch 19 (FIG. 1), is arranged.
- the deflector 49 can be pivoted into the transport path so that the bank note 8 to be collected (FIG. 1) is deflected from the transport path into the money container 11 and falls into it.
- the deflector 49 is pivoted out of the transport route, so that the banknote 8 is returned via the return channel 20.
- the banknote reader can be opened along the dashed line 40 for maintenance.
- the intermediate piece 44 (FIG. 7) is omitted if, instead of the heavy money container 11, a slightly open container is used for the banknotes. In this case, the banknote reader is light enough so that it can be fastened in the cutout 4 directly to the wall 5 (FIG. 1), the two pins 45 arranged at the end part 2, which are indicated with crosses in the drawing in FIG. 8, be connected by means of an angle to the wall 5.
