Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Sortieren und Stapeln von Blattgut, insbesondere von Wertpapieren, Banknoten und dergleichen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for sorting and stacking sheet material, in particular securities, Banknotes and the like according to the preamble of the claim 1.
Eine Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der DE-OS 27 29 830 bekannt. Zur Durchführung dieser Bearbeitungsvorgänge werden die Banknoten, die in der Regel von den Banken in Päckchen angeliefert werden, vorher vereinzelt, wobei dann die einzelnen Banknoten mittels einer Transporteinrichtung entlang einer Transportstrecke befördert werden. An der Transportstrecke befindet sich eine Prüfeinrichtung, die eine Vielzahl von Sensoren umfaßt, mittels der die Banknoten nach verschiedenen Kriterien, beispielsweise Zustand, Echtheit, Denomination, klassifiziert werden und in Abhängigkeit von dem Ergebnis der Prüfung unterschiedlichen Stapeleinheiten zugeordnet werden. Die klassifizierten Banknoten werden dabei mit Hilfe von steuerbaren Weichen aus der Transportstrecke herausgeschleust und einer Stapeleinrichtung mit zwei Stapeleinheiten zugeführt. Die Stapeleinheiten bestehen aus Stapelrädern, die zur Bildung der einzelnen Ablagefächer Trennwände aufweisen, die spiralförmig gebogen sind. Die Stapeleinheiten sind modular aufgebaut und besitzen jeweils eine eigene Antriebseinrichtung, die einen unabhängigen Betrieb der Stapler ermöglicht. Die Stapeleinheiten sind in bezug auf die Transportrichtung hintereinander fluchtend angeordnet. Das Rastermaß, d. h. der Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Stapeleinheiten, entspricht hierbei wenigstens dem Durchmesser eines Stapelrades. Bei einer Vielzahl von Staplern wird daher entsprechend viel Platz zur Unterbringung der Stapler benötigt. A banknote processing machine of the type mentioned Art is known for example from DE-OS 27 29 830. To carry out these machining operations the banknotes that are usually used by banks in Parcels are delivered, previously isolated, whereby then the individual banknotes by means of a transport device are transported along a transport route. There is a test facility on the transport route, which comprises a plurality of sensors by means of of the banknotes according to various criteria, for example Condition, authenticity, denomination, classified and depending on the outcome of the Check assigned to different stacking units become. The classified banknotes are included With the help of controllable switches from the transport route ejected and a stacking device with two Stacking units fed. The stacking units exist from stacking wheels that form the individual storage compartments Partition walls that are spirally curved are. The stacking units are modular and each have their own drive device, the enables independent operation of the forklift. The Stacking units are in relation to the transport direction arranged one behind the other. The grid dimension, d. H. the distance between two adjacent stacking units, corresponds at least to the diameter a stacking wheel.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Sortieren und Stapeln von Blattgut vorzuschlagen, die einen kompakteren Aufbau einer Stapeleinrichtung ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object Propose a device for sorting and stacking sheet material, which a more compact structure of a stacking device enables.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die in dem Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The object is achieved by those specified in claim 1 Features resolved.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die in der Transportstrecke befindlichen einzelnen Blätter, nach dem sie mittels entsprechend gesteuerter Weichen aus der Transportstrecke herausgeschleust worden sind, durch an die Weichen sich anschließende Umlenkeinrichtungen gleiten, die eine Drehung und Änderung der Bewegungsrichtung der Blätter in Richtung der in einem bestimmten Winkel zur Transportstrecke angeordneten Stapeleinheiten der Stapeleinrichtung bewirken.The basic idea of the invention is that the in individual sheets on the transport route, after which they are operated by means of appropriately controlled switches have been removed from the transport route, by deflecting devices adjoining the points slide, which is a rotation and change of direction of the leaves towards that in a particular Stacking units arranged at an angle to the transport route effect the stacking device.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß aufgrund der von der Umlenkeinrichtung bewirkten Drehung und Änderung der Bewegungsrichtung der Blätter die Stapeleinheiten in einem geringeren Abstand, d. h. mit einem Rastermaß, das unabhängig vom Durchmesser eines Stapelrades ist und von der Breite des zu bearbeitenden Blattgutes abhängt, angeordnet werden können. Dadurch ist ein kompakter Aufbau einer Stapeleinrichtung mit mehreren Stapeleinheiten möglich, wodurch der Platzbedarf der Stapeleinheiten in einer Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine erheblich reduziert wird. Somit kann die Maschine kleiner konzipiert werden, was auch eine kostengünstigere Herstellung erlaubt.The advantages achieved with the invention are in particular in that due to the deflection of the caused rotation and change in the direction of movement of the sheets the stacking units in a lesser Distance, d. H. with a grid dimension that is independent of Diameter of a stacking wheel is and the width of the depends on the sheet material to be processed can. This is a compact structure of a stacking device possible with several stacking units, whereby the space requirement of the stacking units in one Banknote processing machine is significantly reduced. So the machine can be designed smaller, which also allows a cheaper production.
Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sind die Stapeleinheiten nebeneinander parallel angeordnet, wobei die Stapelfächer der Stapeleinheiten senkrecht zur Transportrichtung ausgerichtet sind. Vorzugsweise sind mehrere Stapeleinheiten auf einer gemeinsamen Achse angeordnet, die parallel zur Transportrichtung ausgerichtet ist. Die Stapeleinheiten sind z. B. Spiralfachstapler, die synchron von einem Motor angetrieben werden. Jedoch ist es auch möglich, die Spiralfachstapler unabhängig voneinander über jeweils eigene Motoren anzutreiben.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the stacking units are parallel next to each other arranged, the stacking compartments of the stacking units are aligned perpendicular to the transport direction. Preferably are several stacking units on one common axis arranged parallel to the direction of transport is aligned. The stacking units are e.g. B. Spiral forklift, synchronized by a motor are driven. However, it is also possible to use the spiral stacker independently from each other To drive motors.

Anhand Fig. 1 wird zunächst das Funktionsprinzip einer
Vorrichtung 10 zum Sortieren und Stapeln von losem
Blattgut, insbesondere von Banknoten, erläutert. Die
Banknoten werden in der Regel in Päckchen banderoliert
von den Banken angeliefert, an einer entsprechenden Arbeitsstation
entbanderoliert und anschließend vereinzelt.
Die Entbanderolierung der Päckchen und eine entsprechende
Vereinzelungseinrichtung sind nicht Bestandteil
der Erfindung. Sie sind dem Fachmann hinlänglich
bekannt und werden daher nicht näher beschrieben. Die
vereinzelten Banknoten werden dann von einer Transporteinrichtung
20 erfaßt und entlang einer Transportstrecke
21 befördert. Die Transporteinrichtung kann beispielsweise
durch Transportriemen 22 gebildet werden, die über
Rollen 23 umlaufen, die von einer nicht dargestellten
Antriebseinrichtung angetrieben werden. Die Transportriemen
können hierbei Flachriemen oder auch Rundriemen
sein. Der detaillierte Aufbau einer Transporteinrichtung
ist in der DE-OS 27 29 830 beschrieben und wird hier
nicht näher behandelt. Entsprechendes gilt auch für die
Prüfeinrichtung 30, die aus mehreren Sensoren bestehen
kann, die entlang der Transportstrecke 21 angeordnet
sind und mittels denen die Banknoten nach verschiedenen
Kriterien geprüft und klassifiziert werden. Beispielsweise
kann eine Prüfung nach Zustand, Echtheit oder Denomination
erfolgen. In Abhängigkeit von dem Ergebnis
der Prüfung werden die Banknoten bestimmten Stapeleinheiten
41 einer Stapeleinrichtung 40 zugeführt. Die Stapeleinheiten
41 repräsentieren hierbei bestimmte Sortierklassen,
z. B. echt, unecht, zu stark verschmutzt
usw. Die Zuführung der geprüften Banknoten erfolgt mit
Hilfe von in der Transportstrecke 21 integrierter steuerbarer
Weichen 50, die abhängig von der Prüfung und
Klassifizierung zwecks Zuordnung zu einer bestimmten
Stapeleinheit, d. h. Sortierklasse, auf Befehl einer
nicht dargestellten Steuereinheit zur Ausschleusung der
Banknoten aus der Transportstrecke entsprechend bewegt
werden. Die aus der Transportstrecke 21 ausgeschleusten
Banknoten durchlaufen dann die an die Weichen sich anschließenden
Umlenkeinrichtungen 60, mittels derer die
Banknoten in Abhängigkeit von der Weichenstellung unter
Drehung und Änderung der Bewegungsrichtung in die Stapelfächer
44 der Stapeleinheiten 41 transportiert werden.
Vorzugsweise sind die Eintrittsöffnungen der Stapelfächer
einer Stapeleinheit senkrecht zur Transportrichtung
ausgerichtet, wobei die durch die Umlenkeinrichtung
geführten Banknoten in Längsrichtung direkt in
die Stapelfächer der entsprechenden Stapeleinheiten geführt
werden. Die Stapeleinheiten 41 sind vorzugsweise
parallel nebeneinander auf einer gemeinsamen Achse 42
angeordnet, die parallel zur Transportstrecke ausgerichtet
ist. Die Stapeleinheiten werden jeweils synchron zur
Transportgeschwindigkeit der Banknoten angetrieben, um
ein fehlerfreies Abstapeln der Banknoten in den Stapelfächern
44 zu gewährleisten. Die Anordnung der Stapeleinheiten
41 auf einer gemeinsamen Achse 42 hat den Vorteil,
daß der Antrieb der Stapeleinheiten mit einem einzigen
Motor 43 bewerkstelligt werden kann. Alternativ
hierzu ist es möglich, die Stapeleinheiten mechanisch
voneinander zu entkoppeln und jede Stapeleinheit mit
einer eigenen Antriebseinrichtung zu versehen. Dieser
Aufbau einer Stapeleinrichtung bedingt jedoch ein größeres
Rastermaß aufgrund der Tatsache, daß zusätzlicher
Platz für die Anordnung der Antriebseinrichtungen der
Stapeleinheiten benötigt wird. Dieser zusätzliche Platz
kann bei der Anordnung der Stapeleinheiten auf einer
gemeinsamen Achse mit nur einer Antriebseinrichtung eingespart
werden, wodurch sich ein sehr kompakter Aufbau
einer Stapeleinrichtung ergibt.1, the functional principle of a
Fig. 2 zeigt einen Ausschnitt aus der Vorrichtung 10 im
Bereich der Umlenkeinrichtung, unter anderem eine Weiche
50, die in Abhängigkeit vom Prüfergebnis auf Befehl einer
nicht dargestellten Steuereinheit aus der Ruhestellung
A in die Position B zur Ausschleusung der Banknoten
bewegt werden kann. Befindet sich die Weiche in der Position
B, so trifft die Banknote auf die Weiche, die die
Banknote dem im Eingangsbereich der Umlenkeinrichtung 60
angeordneten Rollenpaar 67, das synchron zur Transportgeschwindigkeit
der Banknote angetrieben wird, zuführt.Fig. 2 shows a section of the
Anhand Fig. 3 soll die Umlenkeinrichtung näher beschrieben
werden. Die Umlenkeinrichtung 60 bildet eine Umlenkstrecke
61 mit einer Außenführung 63 und einer Innenführung
62. Die Außen- und Innenführung sind in einer
Fläche angeordnet, die 90° um einen fiktiven 45° zur
Transportebene geneigten waagrechten Zylinder geführt
sind. Die Außen- und Innenführung der Umlenkstrecke verlaufen
parallel und sind in einem konstanten Abstand A,
z. B. 2 mm, zueinander angeordnet. Dies bedeutet, daß
die Banknoten in der Umlenkstrecke in Längsrichtung zwischen
der Innen- und Außenführung derart hindurchgleiten,
daß keine Bewegung quer zur Banknoten-Längsrichtung
erfolgt, wodurch die Banknoten eine Bewegung ausführen,
die beim Durchlaufen der Umlenkstrecke in jedem Punkt
des beförderten Blattgutes in Blattlängsrichtung vor
sich geht. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird die
Innenführung 62 von parallel zueinander angeordneten
Drähten und die Außenführung 63 von einem Blech gebildet.
Selbstverständlich kann die Umlenkeinrichtung auch
aus Drähten oder aus zwei Blechen bestehen. Die Realisierung
der Innenführung mittels Drähten ermöglicht eine
gute Einsehbarkeit und Zugänglichkeit im Falle von eingeklemmten
Banknoten. Zur Behebung von eingeklemmten
Banknoten können die innerhalb der Umlenkstrecke angeordneten
Traktionsrollen entfernt werden. Dadurch kann
die Behebung von eingeklemmten Banknoten servicefreundlich
gestaltet werden. Um auch bei qualitativ schlechten,
d. h. lappigen Banknoten, ein einwandfreies Hineingleiten
in die Umlenkstrecke zu gewährleisten, ist im
Eingangsbereich der Umlenkeinrichtung 60 das bereits in
Fig. 2 gezeigte Rollenpaar 67 vorgesehen, das z. B. jeweils
drei Traktionsrollen umfaßt. In dem Ausgangsbereich
der Umlenkeinrichtung 60 befinden sich
ebenfalls Traktionsrollen 68, die nach der eigentlichen
Umlenkung sicherstellen, daß auch lappige Banknoten einwandfrei
in die Stapelfächer der Stapeleinheiten gelenkt
werden. Für die im Eingangsbereich und im Ausgangsbereich
der Umlenkeinrichtung angeordneten Traktionsrollen
ist die aus einem Blech bestehende Außenführung mit
entsprechenden Schlitzen versehen, die eine Klemmführung
der Banknoten durch die Traktionsrollen ermöglichen. Die
Geometrie der Umlenkeinrichtung und die Anordnung der
Traktionsrollen ist vorzugsweise so gewählt, daß auch
Banknoten unterschiedlicher Länge beim Durchlaufen der
Umlenkstrecke durch die Klemmführung auf ihrer optimalen
Umlenkbahn geführt werden, so daß sie unter Drehung und
in bezug auf die Eintrittsrichtung um 90° umgelenkt die
Umlenkeinrichtung verlassen.3, the deflection device is to be described in more detail
become. The
Fig. 4 zeigt nun in einer Seitenansicht den Eintrittsbereich
der Banknoten in die Stapelfächer 44 einer Stapeleinheit
41. Die Traktionsrollen 68 im Ausgangsbereich
der Umlenkeinrichtung 60 bilden z. B. zwei hintereinander
angeordnete Rollenpaare. Um auch bei langsamen
Transportgeschwindigkeiten einen einwandfreien Eintritt
der Banknoten in die Stapelfächer 44 einer Stapeleinheit
41 zu gewährleisten, kann zusätzlich direkt am Anschluß
an die Umlenkeinrichtung ein unterstützender Transportriemen
angeordnet werden. Die Stapeleinheit 41 ist vorzugsweise
als Spiralfachstapler ausgeführt, der aus einem
oder mehreren nebeneinander parallel angeordneten
Stapelrädern besteht, die zur Bildung der Stapelfächer
44 Trennwände 45 aufweisen, die spiralförmig gebogen
sind. Mittels eines Abstreifers 46, der senkrecht in die
Trennwände des Stapelrades eingreift, werden die Banknoten
ausgeschleust und in einem geordneten Stapel abgelegt.
Bezüglich des detaillierten Aufbaus und der Funktion
des Spiralfachstaplers wird auf die DE-OS 32 32 348
verwiesen, in der ein solcher Spiralfachstapler genau
beschrieben ist.4 now shows a side view of the entry area
