Abstract

The invention concerns a system for dispensing sheet material, in particular bank notes and the like, from one of two sheet compartments to a collecting station, each compartment having a delivery roller which is driven by a stepping motor, is associated with a sheet compartment and acts on the first sheet of each stack. Each sheet drawn off is fed to a conveyor roller which is driven by a stepping motor and is also associated with the sheet compartment. The conveyor roller feeds the sheet to a dispensing conveyor common to both sheet compartments. The system is driven by two stepping motors which can be driven in opposite senses when a sheet is dispensed from a compartment, so that in each case one delivery roller is driven in the first sense of rotation and the conveyor roller of the other sheet compartment is driven in the second sense of rotation.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Ausgeben von Blattmaterial, insbesondere von Wertscheinen aus einem von zwei Blattfächern an eine Sammelstation, mit jeweils einer einem Blattfach zugeordneten, auf das jeweils vorderste Blatt eines Blattstapels einwirkenden schrittmotorgetriebenen Abzugsrolle, mit der das jeweils abgezogene Blatt einer gleichfalls dem Blattfach zugeordneten schrittmotorgetriebenen Transportrolle zugeführt wird, welche es einem beiden Blattfächern gemeinsamen Ausgabetransport zuführt.The invention relates to a device for dispensing Sheet material, especially notes of value from one from two sheet compartments to a collecting station, each with one assigned to a sheet compartment, on the foremost Sheet of a sheet stack acting stepper motor driven Pull-off roller with which the pulled off Sheet also assigned to the sheet tray stepper motor-driven transport roller is fed, which is an output transport common to both sheet compartments feeds.

Diese Einrichtung wird dazu verwendet, um z.B. Wertscheine, wie Geldnoten, mit zwei unterschiedlichen Nennwerten einzeln an die Sammelstation auszugeben. Dazu sind Wertscheine eines Nennwertes jeweils in einem Blattfach gestapelt, und es wird durch die diesem Blattfach zugeordnete Abzugs- und Transportrolle immer nur ein einziger Geldschein vom jeweiligen Stapel abgezogen und dem Ausgabetransport zugeführt. Offensichtlich handelt es sich deshalb bei der Ausgabeeinrichtung für unterschiedliche Wertscheinarten um ein Doppelmodul, bei dem zwei Einzelmodule zum Ausgeben jeweils einer Wertscheinart über einen gemeinsamen Ausgabetransport verbunden sind. Ein Einzelmodul enthält ein Blattfach und die diesem zugeordnete Abzugs- und Transportrolle.This device is used to e.g. Banknotes, like banknotes, with two different denominations to be issued individually to the collection station. There are also vouchers of a nominal value each stacked in a sheet compartment, and it is through the one assigned to this sheet tray Take-off and transport roll only ever one The banknote is deducted from the respective stack and the output transport fed. Obviously it is therefore in the output device for different Types of notes around a double module, in which two single modules to issue one type of note at a time common output transport are connected. A single module contains a sheet tray and the one assigned to it Trigger and transport roll.

Eine derartige Einrichtung ist aus dem europäischen Patent EP 0 161 742 bekannt. Bei der bekannten Einrichtung gibt es einen einzigen Schrittmotor für den Antrieb der Abzugsrollen und der Transportrollen beider Einzelmodule. Durch Umkehr der Drehrichtung des Schrittmotors werden Wertscheine entweder aus dem einen oder aus dem anderen Einzelmodul ausgegeben. Die Wertscheine werden über einen jedem Einzelmodul zugeordneten Zubringertransport einem gemeinsamen Ausgabetransport zugeführt. Die Zubringertransportsysteme stehen einer kompakten Bauweise entgegen, da sie einen wesentlichen Anteil am gesamten Bauraum eines Einzelmoduls haben und für ihre Ausführung zusätzliche Bauteile notwendig sind.Such a device is from the European patent EP 0 161 742 known. In the known facility there is a single stepper motor for driving the Take-off rollers and the transport rollers of both individual modules. By reversing the direction of rotation of the stepper motor Notes of value either from one or from the other Single module issued. The banknotes are over one feeder transport assigned to each individual module common output transport fed. The feeder transport systems stand in the way of a compact design, since they make up a significant part of the overall installation space of a single module and additional ones for their execution Components are necessary.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Einrichtung besteht darin, daß die Einzelmodule und die Zubringertransporte nicht gleichartig und damit nicht einfach aufgebaut sind. Damit sind die Einzelmodule bzw. deren Bestandteile auch nicht austauschbar, und der Fertigungsaufwand liegt höher als bei gleichartigen Einzelmodulen.Another disadvantage of the known device is in that the individual modules and the feeder transports are not of the same type and are therefore not simply constructed. So that the individual modules or their components are also not interchangeable, and the manufacturing effort is higher than with similar single modules.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Einrichtung zum Ausgeben von Blattmaterial mit einfachem und kompaktem Aufbau zu entwickeln.The object of the invention is therefore a device for dispensing sheet material with simple and compact To develop structure.

Diese Aufgabe wird für eine Einrichtung eingangs genannter Art gelöst durch zwei bei Ausgabe aus einem Blattfach gegensinnig betreibbare Schrittmotoren zum Antrieb jeweils einer Abzugsrolle in der ersten Drehrichtung und der Transportrolle des jeweils anderen Blattfaches in der zweiten Drehrichtung.This task is mentioned for a facility at the beginning Kind solved by two when issuing from a sheet tray oppositely operated stepper motors for driving each a take-off roller in the first direction of rotation and the transport roller of the other sheet compartment in the second direction of rotation.

Die Verwendung von zwei Schrittmotoren ermöglicht eine Integration des jeweiligen Zubringertransportes in die zugehörige Transportrolle eines Einzelmoduls, da Abzugs- und Transportrolle optimal angetrieben werden können, ohne daß Beschränkungen durch den gleichzeitigen Antrieb von Abzugs- und Transportrolle eines Einzelmoduls entstehen. Die Abzugsrolle wird so lange gedreht, bis der vorderste Wertschein abgezogen ist, und die Transportrolle dreht sich so lange, wie es für einen sicheren Transport des abgezogenen Geldscheines zum zentralen Ausgabetransport nötig ist. Durch diese Maßnahme können separate Zubringertransporte entfallen, womit sich eine kompaktere Bauweise ergibt. Durch das Einsparen von Bauteilen für die Zubringertransporte wird ein einfacherer Aufbau im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik erreicht und es verringert sich weiterhin der Fertigungsaufwand.The use of two stepper motors enables one Integration of the respective feeder transport into the associated transport roller of a single module, since and transport roller can be optimally driven without that restrictions from simultaneous drive of take-off and transport roles of a single module. The take-off roller is rotated until the first one Value note is withdrawn, and the transport role turns as long as it is for safe transportation of the withdrawn bill to the central issuing transport is necessary. This measure enables separate feeder transports omitted, making a more compact Construction results. By saving components for the feeder transports will be a simpler structure in the Achieved compared to the prior art and reduced it the manufacturing effort continues.

Jeder der Schrittmotoren treibt jeweils eine Abzugsrolle und die Transportrolle des jeweils anderen Blattfaches an. Dadurch läßt sich ein Schrittmotor jeweils einem Blattfach zuordnen, womit gleichartige Einzelmodule entstehen. Ein Einzelmodul enthält dabei ein Blattfach, eine Abzugsrolle, eine Transportrolle und einen Schrittmotor.Each of the stepper motors drives a take-off roller and the transport roller of the other sheet compartment on. This allows one stepper motor to be used Allocate sheet compartment, creating similar individual modules. A single module contains one sheet compartment, one Take-off roller, a transport roller and a stepper motor.

Jeweils zwischen Abzugsrolle und diese treibendem Schrittmotor befindendet sich eine Einwegkupplung. Die beiden Einwegkupplungen ermöglichen jeweils eine drehfeste Verbindung von treibendem Schrittmotor und Abzugsrolle in einer Drehrichtung des Schrittmotors sowie einen Stillstand der Abzugsrolle bei entgegengesetzer Drehrichtung des Schrittmotors. Diese Maßnahme ist erforderlich, da die beiden Schrittmotoren zur unabhängigen Ansteuerung von Abzugsrolle eines Blattfaches in der einen Drehrichtung und Transportrolle des anderen Blattfaches in der anderen Drehrichtung verwendet werden und gewährleistet sein muß, daß sich bei einem Ausgabevorgang aus einem Einzelmodul nur die diesem zugeordnete Abzugsrolle dreht. Die Abzugsrolle des anderen Blattfaches dreht sich aufgrund der Einwegkupplungen auf keinen Fall, wenn sich die durch denselben Schrittmotor angetriebene Transportrolle des Blattfaches, aus dem ausgegeben werden soll, dreht. Würde sich die Abzugsrolle des anderen Blattfaches mitdrehen, würde je nach Drehrichtung sonst aus zwei Blattfächern gleichzeitig vereinzelt werden oder die Abzugsrolle die Wertscheine in dem anderen Blattfach durch eine falsche Drehrichtung an der Wand des Blattfaches zusammenschieben. Um solche Fehlfunktionen zu vermeiden, werden die durch ihren einfachen Aufbau gekennzeichneten Einwegkupplungen mit eingebautem Freilauf verwendet.Each between the take-off roller and this driving A stepper motor is a one-way clutch. The two one-way clutches each enable a non-rotatable Connection of driving stepper motor and pull-off roller in one direction of rotation of the stepper motor and one The take-off roller comes to a standstill in the opposite direction of rotation of the stepper motor. This measure is necessary since the two stepper motors for independent control of take-off roller of a sheet compartment in one direction of rotation and transport roller of the other sheet compartment in the other direction of rotation can be used and guaranteed must be that an output process consists of a Single module only rotates the pull-off roller assigned to it. The peel roller of the other sheet tray rotates due to the one-way clutches under no circumstances if the transport roller driven by the same stepper motor of the sheet tray from which output is to be made rotates. If the pull-off roller of the other sheet compartment rotated, would, depending on the direction of rotation, consist of two leaf compartments be separated at the same time or the take-off roller through the banknotes in the other sheet compartment push the wrong direction of rotation together on the wall of the sheet compartment. To avoid such malfunctions, are characterized by their simple structure One-way clutches with built-in one-way clutch used.

Eine weitere Einwegkupplung befindet sich jeweils zwischen Transportrolle und diese treibendem Schrittmotor. Die weiteren zwei Einwegkupplungen verhindern, daß sich beim Ausgeben aus einem Einzelmodul und der damit verbundenen Drehung der Abzugsrolle die durch denselben Schrittmotor angesteuerte Transportrolle des anderen Einzelmoduls mitdreht. Im Gegensatz zu den Abzugsrollen würde in diesem Fall zwar keine Fehlfunktion auftreten, da der mitdrehenden Transportrolle keine Wertscheine zugeführt werden, jedoch ergibt sich ein erhöhter Verschleiß. Durch den Einbau der weiteren Einrichtungskupplungen wird der Verschleiß durch Abrieb an den mit den Transportrollen in Berührung stehenden Materialien auf ein unbedingt notwendiges Maß begrenzt, da sich eine Transportrolle nur so lange dreht, wie es zum Transport eines Wertscheines notwendig ist. Insbesondere sind diese Materialien gummierte Rollen mit hohem Reibwert, die mit den Transportrollen in Berührung stehen.Another one-way clutch is located between each Transport roller and this driving stepper motor. The other two one-way clutches prevent that when output from a single module and the associated Rotation of the take-off roller by the same Stepper motor controlled transport roller of the other single module turns with. In contrast to the take-off rollers would in this case, malfunction does not occur because no notes of value are fed to the rotating transport roller , however, there is increased wear. By installing the additional device couplings the wear caused by abrasion on the transport rollers materials in contact with an absolutely necessary dimension limited, since a transport role only as long as it takes to transport a note necessary is. In particular, these materials are rubberized Rollers with high coefficient of friction that with the transport rollers to be in contact.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht darin, die Einrichtung nach der Erfindung zu ergänzen durch zwei jeweils in unmittelbarer Nähe der Transportrollen angebrachte Umlenkvorrichtungen zur Richtungsumkehr des Blattmaterials, bevor es dem Ausgabetransport zugeführt wird. Die Umlenkvorrichtungen ermöglichen, daß der Abstand zwischen zwei Einzelmodulen eines Doppelmoduls und auch der Abstand zwischen Doppelmodulen nur etwa den Durchmesser einer Transportrolle hat, da der Wertschein um etwa 180° umgelenkt wird, bevor er dem zentralen Ausgabetransport zugeführt wird. Durch die Verringerung des Abstandes zwischen verschiedenen Modulen wird eine kompakte Bauweise erreicht. Da die Umlenkvorrichtungen wiederum in jedem Einzelmodul gleichartig sind, ergeben sich aufgrund des einfacheren Aufbaus im Vergleich zu verschiedenen Einzelmodulen geringere Fertigungskosten.A preferred embodiment of the invention exists in supplementing the device according to the invention by two each in the immediate vicinity of the transport rollers attached deflection devices for reversing direction of the sheet material before it is discharged is fed. The deflection devices allow that the distance between two single modules of a double module and also the distance between double modules only about has the diameter of a transport roll because of the value is deflected by approximately 180 ° before it reaches the central one Output transport is fed. By reducing the distance between different modules achieved a compact design. Because the deflection devices are in turn identical in each individual module because of the simpler structure compared to different individual modules lower production costs.

Figur 1 zeigt die Seitenansicht eines Doppelmoduls 10 zum Ausgeben von Blattmaterial entlang des Schnittes A-A entsprechend der Figur 2. Das Doppelmodul 10 besteht aus einem ersten Einzelmodul 12 und einem zweiten Einzelmodul 14, die durch einen gemeinsamen Ausgabetransport 16 verbunden sind, mit dessen Hilfe das Blattmaterial, z.B. in Form von Geldnoten, einzeln einer nicht dargestellten Sammelstation über eine Ausgabe 18 zugeführt wird. Die Bestandteile des Doppelmoduls 10 werden von einem Rahmen 20 getragen. Die beiden Einzelmodule 12 und 14 sind im wesentlichen gleich aufgebaut, so daß im folgenden nur das erste Einzelmodul 12 beschrieben wird und die jeweiligen Bestandteile des zweiten Einzelmoduls 14 dasselbe Bezugszeichen, jedoch mit einem hochgestellten Strich, erhalten. Figure 1 shows the side view of a double module 10 for Output sheet material along section A-A accordingly of Figure 2. The double module 10 consists of a first individual module 12 and a second individual module 14, connected by a common output transport 16 with the help of which the sheet material, e.g. in Form of banknotes, one of them not shown Collection station is fed via an output 18. The Components of the double module 10 are of a frame 20 worn. The two individual modules 12 and 14 are in constructed essentially the same, so that in the following only the first individual module 12 is described and the respective Components of the second individual module 14 the same Reference numerals, but with a prime, receive.

Die Geldnoten sind in einem Blattfach 22 in Form eines liegenden Blattstapels 24 angeordnet und werden mit Hilfe eines Andruckschiebers 26, auf dessen linker Seite sich ein Andruckgummi 28 befindet, gegen eine Abzugsrolle 30 an einem Ausgang des Blattfaches 22 gedrückt. Die Abzugsrolle 30 ist auf einer Abzugswelle 32 angebracht, an deren einem Ende sich ein Abzugswellenzahnrad 34 befindet, das von einem Schrittmotor 36 über ein Ritzel 38 angetrieben wird. Die Abzugsrolle 32 hat eine griffige Oberfläche mit einem hohen Reibwert, so daß die jeweils vorderste Geldnote 40 des Blattstapels 24 im Blattfach 22 beim Einschalten des Schrittmotors 36 vom Blattstapel 24 durch Drehen der Abzugsrolle 30 abgezogen und einer Transportrolle 42 zugeführt wird.The banknotes are in the form of a sheet compartment 22 lying sheet stack 24 and are arranged with the help a pressure slide 26, on the left side there is a pressure rubber 28 against a take-off roller 30 pressed at an output of the sheet compartment 22. The take-off roll 30 is mounted on a trigger shaft 32 on the there is a trigger shaft gear 34 at one end, which is driven by a stepper motor 36 via a pinion 38 becomes. The take-off roller 32 has a non-slip surface with a high coefficient of friction, so that the foremost Currency note 40 of sheet stack 24 in sheet compartment 22 when stepper motor 36 is switched on from sheet stack 24 deducted by rotating the take-off roller 30 and one Transport roller 42 is fed.

Die Transportrolle 42 des ersten Einzelmoduls 12 ist auf einer Transportwelle 44 angebracht und wird über eine erste Übertragung vom Schrittmotor 36' des zweiten Einzelmoduls 14 angetrieben. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Abzugsrolle 30 unabhängig von der Transportrolle 42 anzutreiben. Zu der genannten Übertragung gehört ein Riemen 46 (vgl. Figur 2). Der unabhängige Antrieb von Abzugsrolle 30 und Transportrolle 42 wird weiter unten im Zusammenhang mit der ersten Übertragung anhand der Figuren 2 und 3 erläutert. In Figur 1 ist ein Riemen 48 dargestellt, der jedoch zu einer zweiten Übertragung vom Schrittmotor 36 des ersten Einzelmoduls 12 zum zweiten Einzelmodul 14 gehört.The transport roller 42 of the first individual module 12 is open a transport shaft 44 attached and is a first Transmission from the stepper motor 36 'of the second individual module 14 driven. This makes it possible to pull the take-off roller 30 independently of the transport roller 42 to drive. A strap is part of the transmission 46 (see FIG. 2). The independent drive of the take-off roller 30 and transport roller 42 is related below with the first transmission using FIGS. 2 and 3 explained. 1 shows a belt 48, which, however, for a second transmission from Stepper motor 36 of the first individual module 12 to the second Individual module 14 belongs.

Der Transportrolle 42 ist eine Gegenlaufrolle 50 zugeordnet, die aus gummiertem Material mit hohem Reibwert besteht und verhindert, daß mehrere Geldnoten gleichzeitig abgezogen werden. Dazu kann die Gegenlaufrolle 50 in eine gegenüber der Transportrolle 42 gleichsinnige Drehung versetzt werden. Ihr Antrieb ist in Figur 1 nicht dargestellt. Um zu verhindern, daß durch Doppel- oder Mehrfachabzüge mehrere Geldnoten vom Blattstapel 24 abgezogen werden, ist weiterhin dem Einzelmodul 14 ein Haltekamm 52 zugeordnet, der an einem Halteelement 54 befestigt ist und dessen Ende so über der Transportrolle 42 angebracht ist, daß höchstens eine Geldnote von der Transportrolle 42 transportiert werden kann.A transport roller 42 is assigned a counter-roller 50, which is made of rubberized material with a high coefficient of friction and prevents multiple notes from being sent at the same time subtracted from. For this purpose, the counter roller 50 can be in a rotation in the same direction with respect to the transport roller 42 be transferred. Their drive is not shown in Figure 1. To prevent double or multiple deductions subtracted several notes from the sheet stack 24 are, the individual module 14 is a holding comb 52nd assigned, which is attached to a holding member 54 and the end so attached over the transport roller 42 is that at most one bill from the transport roll 42 can be transported.

Beim Abziehen der vordersten Geldnote 40 vom Blattstapel 24 infolge einer Drehung der Abzugsrolle 30 wird diese so lange gedreht, bis die Geldnote 40 zwischen die Transportrolle 42 und die Gegenlaufrolle 50 geschoben ist. Die Transportrolle 42 wird danach in Drehbewegung gesetzt und transportiert die Geldnote 40 zum gemeinsamen Ausgabetransport 16. Dabei erfolgt eine 180°-Umlenkung der Geldnote 40 mit Hilfe einer Leitfläche 56. Zum Erzielen einer zuverlässigen Mitnahme der Geldnoten des Blattstapels 24 durch die Transportrolle 42 ist eine kleine Transportrolle 58 im Bereich des Krümmungsanfangs der Leitfläche 56 angebracht.When pulling the foremost bill 40 off the sheet stack 24 due to rotation of the take-off roller 30, this becomes so long turned until the bill 40 between the transport roller 42 and the counter roller 50 is pushed. The Transport roller 42 is then set in rotation and transports the bill 40 to the common output transport 16. The money note is deflected by 180 ° 40 with the help of a guide surface 56. To achieve a reliable taking of the banknotes of the sheet stack 24 through the transport roller 42 is a small transport roller 58 in the area of the beginning of the curvature of the guide surface 56 appropriate.

Im Bereich der Leitfläche 56 ist dem Einzelmodul 12 eine Lichtschranke, bestehend aus Sendeelement 60 zum Senden eines Lichtstrahls und einem Sensor 62 zum Empfangen des vom Sendeelement 60 ausgesendeten Lichtstrahls zugeordnet. Die Signale des Sensors 62 können für die Steuerung der Schrittmotoren 36 und 36' verwendet werden. So kann z.B. der Schrittmotor 36 für den Antrieb der Abzugsrolle 30 abgeschaltet werden, wenn die Geldnote 40 den Lichtstrahl des Sendeelements 60 unterbricht. Das Stoppen der Transportrolle 42 kann erfolgen, wenn das Ende der Geldnote 40 den Lichtstrahl des Sendeelementes 60 in Richtung auf den Sensor 62 wieder freigibt, nachdem die Geldnote 40 die Leitfläche 56 verlassen hat.In the area of the guide surface 56, the individual module 12 is one Light barrier, consisting of transmission element 60 for transmission a light beam and a sensor 62 for receiving the assigned by the transmitting element 60 light beam. The signals from sensor 62 can be used for control of stepper motors 36 and 36 'can be used. So can e.g. the stepper motor 36 for driving the take-off roller 30 be turned off when the note 40 the beam of light of the transmission element 60 interrupts. Stopping the Transport roller 42 can be done when the end of the bill 40 the light beam of the transmitting element 60 in the direction released on the sensor 62 after the bill 40 has left the guide surface 56.

Beim Verlassen der Leitfläche 56 wird die Geldnote 40 durch die Transportrolle 42 noch so lange transportiert, bis sie vom gemeinsamen Ausgabetransport 16 erfaßt wird. When leaving the guiding surface 56, the banknote becomes 40 transported by the transport roller 42 as long as until it is captured by the common output transport 16.

Der gemeinsame Ausgabetransport 16 besteht aus zwei Förderbändern 64 und 66 (vgl. Figur 2). Die Förderbänder 64 und 66 werden durch Führungsrollen 68, 70 und 72 geführt. Die Führungsrolle 68 wird über einen nicht dargestellten Antrieb in Drehung versetzt und treibt somit die auf ihr befestigten Förderbänder 64 und 66 in der in der Figur 1 eingezeichneten Richtung an. Die Führungsrollen 68, 70 und 72 sind jeweils auf einer Führungswelle 74, 76 bzw. 78 befestigt. An der Führungswelle 74 befindet sich ein Antriebsrad 80 (vgl. Figur 2) für den Antrieb der Führungswelle 74. Die Förderbänder 64 und 66 werden durch eine Spannrolle 82 gespannt. Zum zentralen Ausgabetransport 16 gehören weiterhin Andruckelemente 84 und 86, die jeweils den Einzelmodulen 12 und 14 zugeordnet sind und durch ihre Wölbung verhindern, daß die einzelnen Geldnoten beim Transport in vertikaler Richtung den Kontakt zu den Förderbändern 64 und 66 verlieren.The common output transport 16 consists of two conveyor belts 64 and 66 (see FIG. 2). The conveyor belts 64 and 66 are guided by guide rollers 68, 70 and 72. The guide roller 68 is a not shown Drive rotates and thus drives the on it attached conveyor belts 64 and 66 in the in FIG. 1 drawn direction. The guide rollers 68, 70 and 72 are each on a guide shaft 74, 76 and 78 attached. There is a on the guide shaft 74 Drive wheel 80 (see FIG. 2) for driving the guide shaft 74. The conveyor belts 64 and 66 are through a tension roller 82 tensioned. For central output transport 16 also include pressure elements 84 and 86, which are each assigned to the individual modules 12 and 14 and by their curvature prevent the individual Money notes during transport in the vertical direction make contact lose to conveyor belts 64 and 66.

Figur 2 zeigt die Vorderansicht des Doppelmoduls 10 in einer ersten Betriebsart, bei der aus dem ersten Einzelmodul 12 ausgegeben wird, da sich die Schrittmotoren 36 und 36' bei entsprechender Ansteuerung gegensinnig in den dargestellten Drehrichtungen drehen. Im ersten Einzelmodul 12 gibt es zwei Einwegkupplungen 88 und 90, die die Eigenschaft haben, eine Drehbewegung nur in einer Drehrichtung zu übertragen, und in der anderen Drehrichtung leerlaufen. Die Einwegkupplung 88 befindet sich zwischen Abzugsrolle 30 und Abzugswelle 32. Sie sperrt, wenn wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, aus dem ersten Einzelmodul 12 ausgegeben wird, und sich die Abzugswelle 32 und mit ihr die Abzugsrolle 30 in der durch einen Drehrichtungspfeil dargestellten Weise, angetrieben vom Schrittmotor 36 über das Ritzel 38 und das Abzugswellenzahnrad 34, dreht.FIG. 2 shows the front view of the double module 10 in a first operating mode in which the first individual module 12 is output because the stepper motors 36 and 36 'with appropriate control in opposite directions in the turn shown directions of rotation. In the first individual module 12 there are two one-way clutches 88 and 90 which are the Have property, a rotary movement only in one direction to transmit, and in the other direction run empty. The one-way clutch 88 is between Take-off roller 30 and take-off shaft 32. It locks when shown in Figure 2, from the first individual module 12th is output, and the trigger shaft 32 and with it the take-off roller 30 in the direction of an arrow shown way, driven by the stepper motor 36 pinion 38 and output gear 34 rotates.

Die Einwegkupplung 90 befindet sich zwischen der Transportwelle 44 und einer Riemenscheibe 92, die vom Riemen 46 angetrieben wird. Die Einwegkupplung 90 überträgt eine Drehbewegung der Riemenscheibe 92 nur in der in Figur 2 dargestellten ersten Betriebsart auf die Transportwelle 44, die sich in der wiederum durch einen Drehrichtungspfeil angegebenen Richtung dreht. Die Einwegkupplung 90, die Riemenscheibe 92 und der Riemen 46 sind Bestandteile der bereits erwähnten ersten Übertragung vom zweiten Einzelmodul 14 zum Antreiben der Transportwelle 44. Dabei ist die Riemenscheibe 92 der Drehmomentenabtrieb. Der Drehmomentenantrieb der ersten Übertragung soll nicht explizit erläutert werden, da sich ein äquivalenter Drehmomentenantrieb ebenfalls auf der Transportwelle 44 befindet, der jedoch Bestandteil der zweiten Übertragung vom ersten Einzelmodul 12 zum zweiten Einzelmodul 14 ist.The one-way clutch 90 is located between the transport shaft 44 and a pulley 92 coming from the belt 46 is driven. The one-way clutch 90 transmits one Rotary movement of the pulley 92 only in the in Figure 2 shown first operating mode on the transport shaft 44, which in turn is indicated by an arrow indicating the direction of rotation direction indicated. The one-way clutch 90, the pulley 92 and the belt 46 are components the already mentioned first transmission from the second individual module 14 for driving the transport shaft 44 the pulley 92 is the torque output. The Torque drive of the first transmission should not be explicit are explained because there is an equivalent torque drive is also located on the transport shaft 44, which, however, is part of the second transmission from is the first individual module 12 to the second individual module 14.

Zur zweiten Übertragung gehört der bereits erwähnte Riemen 48, der von einer Riemenscheibe 94 angetrieben wird. Die Riemenscheibe 94 ist mit einem Transportwellenzahnrad 96 drehfest verbunden und bildet mit diesem eine Einheit 94, 96. Die Einheit 94, 96 ist auf der Transportwelle 44 mit Hilfe eines Kugellagers 98 leerlaufend gelagert und wird über das Abzugswellenzahnrad 34 angetrieben, das in das Transportwellenzahnrad 96 eingreift. Die zweite Übertragung überträgt in der ersten Betriebsart jedoch kein Drehmoment zum zweiten Einzelmodul 14 und wird deshalb in ihrer Funktionsweise bezüglich der Betriebsart erst in der Figur 3 erläutert.The belt already mentioned belongs to the second transmission 48, which is driven by a pulley 94. The pulley 94 is with a transport shaft gear 96 rotatably connected and forms a unit with this 94, 96. The unit 94, 96 is on the transport shaft 44 stored idle with the help of a ball bearing 98 and is driven via the trigger shaft gear 34, which in the transport shaft gear 96 engages. The second transmission does not transmit in the first mode Torque to the second individual module 14 and is therefore in their mode of operation only in of Figure 3 explained.

Der Ausgabevorgang in der ersten Betriebsart erfolgt z.B. als Reaktion auf eine Anforderung, die von einer bekannten Mikroprozessorsteuerung bearbeitet wurde. Der Mikroprozessor arbeitet ein gespeichertes Steuerungsprogramm ab und soll beim Abarbeiten eine Geldnote 40 eines im Blattfach 22 des ersten Einzelmoduls 12 vorhandenen Nennwertes ausgeben. Dazu wird der Schrittmotor 36 so angesteuert, daß er sich in einer Drehrichtung, die in Figur 2 durch einen Pfeil auf dem Ritzel 38 angegeben ist, dreht. Nach dem oben gesagten beginnt sich, da der Freilauf der Einwegkuplung 88 sperrt, auch die Abzugsrolle 30 zu drehen und zieht aufgrund des Kraftschlusses mit der Geldnote 40 diese vom Stapel 24 ab, bis sich der Anfang der Geldnote 40 zwischen Transportrolle 42 und Gegenlaufrolle 50 schiebt und schließlich den Lichtstrahl des Sendeelementes 60 unterbricht. Das dabei entstehende Signal am Sensor 62 veranlaßt die Mikroprozessorsteuerung, die Drehung des Schrittmotors 36 und damit den Abzugsvorgang zu beenden und gleichzeitig die Transportrolle 42 durch eine entsprechende Ansteuerung des Schrittmotors 36' in Drehbewegung zu versetzen. Der Drehmomentenfluß vom Schrittmotor 36', der sich gegensinnig zum Schrittmotor 36 dreht, über die erste Übertragung zur Transportrolle 42 ist in Figur 2 durch eine Strichpunktlinie dargestellt. Dabei wird die Drehmomentenantriebsseite der ersten Übertragung im Gegensatz zur bereits erläuterten zweiten Übertragung nicht über das entsprechende Abzugswellenzahnrad 34' am schrittmotornahen Ende der Abzugswelle 32' realisiert, sondern durch ein weiteres Abzugswellenzahnrad 100 am entgegengesetzten Ende der Abzugswelle 32', deren Drehrichtung durch einen Drehrichtungspfeil dargestellt wird.The output process in the first operating mode takes place e.g. in response to a request made by a known Microprocessor control was edited. The microprocessor a stored control program works and should process a bill 40 one in Sheet compartment 22 of the first individual module 12 existing nominal value output. For this purpose, the stepper motor 36 is controlled that it is in a direction of rotation, which in figure 2 is indicated by an arrow on the pinion 38, turns. After what has been said above, the freewheeling begins the one-way clutch 88 also locks the take-off roller 30 to rotate and pull with the Note 40 this off the stack 24 until the beginning the bill 40 between the transport roller 42 and the counter-rotating roller 50 pushes and finally the light beam of the transmission element 60 interrupts. The resulting signal on the sensor 62, the microprocessor control causes the Rotation of the stepper motor 36 and thus the withdrawal process to end and at the same time the transport roller 42 a corresponding control of the stepper motor 36 'in To offset rotary motion. The torque flow from Stepper motor 36 ', which is opposite to the stepper motor 36 rotates, via the first transfer to the transport roller 42 is shown in FIG. 2 by a chain line. The torque drive side of the first transfer in contrast to the already explained second transmission is not via the corresponding trigger shaft gear 34 'at the end of the trigger shaft near the stepper motor 32 'realized, but by another trigger shaft gear 100 at the opposite end of the trigger shaft 32 ', the direction of rotation by an arrow indicating the direction of rotation is pictured.

Die Mikroprozessorsteuerung steuert den Schrittmotor 36', der die Transportrolle 42 dreht, so lange an, bis die kraftschlüssig mit der Transportrolle 42 verbundene Geldnote 40 entlang der Leitfläche 56 dem zu dieser Zeit transportierenden Ausgabetransport 16 zugeführt wird und das Ende der Geldnote 40 den Lichtstrahl des Sendeelementes 60 auf den Sensor 62 wieder freigibt. Der Ausgabetransport 16 transportiert die Geldnote 40 durch Kraftschluß mit den Förderbändern 64 und 66 in Richtung Ausgabe 18. Dort kann die Geldnote 40 direkt einer Sammelstation oder weiteren in Transportrichtung vor der Sammelstation liegenden Doppelmodulen bzw. deren Ausgabetransporten zugeführt werden. Wenn der Ausgabevorgang beendet ist, schaltet die Mikroprozessorsteuerung den Ausgabetransport 16 ab.The microprocessor control controls the stepper motor 36 ', which turns the transport roller 42 until the money note positively connected to the transport roller 42 40 along the guide surface 56 at that time transporting output transport 16 is fed and the end of the bill 40 the light beam of the transmission element 60 releases on the sensor 62 again. The output transport 16 transports the banknote 40 by friction with the conveyor belts 64 and 66 towards the output 18. There the banknote 40 can go directly to a collecting station or further in the direction of transport in front of the collecting station lying double modules or their output transports be fed. When the dispensing process ends the microprocessor control switches the output transport 16 from.

Die Einwegkupplungen 88' und 90' des zweiten Einzelmoduls 14 sind in der in Figur 2 dargestellten ersten Betriebsart freigeschaltet. Somit überträgt die Einwegkupplung 88' die Bewegung der Abzugswelle 32' nicht auf die Abzugsrolle 30'. Auch die Einwegkupplung 90' überträgt die Drehbewegung der Riemenscheibe 92' nicht auf die Transportwelle 44'. Der Schrittmotor 36' bewegt demzufolge nur die Transportrolle 42 des ersten Einzelmoduls 12 in der oben angegebenen Art und Weise.The one-way clutches 88 'and 90' of the second single module 14 are in the first operating mode shown in FIG unlocked. The one-way clutch thus transmits 88 'the movement of the take-off shaft 32' not on the take-off roller 30 '. The one-way clutch 90 'also transmits the Rotary movement of the pulley 92 'not on the transport shaft 44 '. The stepper motor 36 'therefore only moves the transport roller 42 of the first individual module 12 in the way indicated above.

Figur 3 zeigt die Vorderansicht des Doppelmoduls 10 in einer zweiten Betriebsart, bei der aus dem zweiten Einzelmodul 14 ausgegeben wird. Die Schrittmotoren 36 und 36' werden im Vergleich zu der in Figur 2 dargestellten ersten Betriebsart so angesteuert, daß sie sich jeweils in umgekehrter Drehrichtung drehen. Dadurch erfolgt die Ausgabe nunmehr nicht aus dem ersten Einzelmodul 12, sondern aus dem zweiten Einzelmodul 14.FIG. 3 shows the front view of the double module 10 in a second operating mode in which the second individual module 14 is issued. The stepper motors 36 and 36 'are compared to that shown in Figure 2 controlled the first operating mode so that they each Turn in the opposite direction. This takes place Output now not from the first individual module 12, but instead from the second individual module 14.

Der Ausgabevorgang in der zweiten Betriebsart erfolgt, wenn der Mikroprozessor beim Abarbeiten des Steuerprogrammes z.B. eine Geldnote 40' mit dem im Einzelmodul 14 vorhandenen Nennwert ausgeben muß in der oben angegebenen Weise, wobei jedoch erst der Schrittmotor 36' für den Abzugsvorgang mit Hilfe der Abzugsrolle 30' und danach der Schrittmotor 36 für den Transport der Geldnote 40' mit Hilfe der Transportrolle 42' in Drehbewegung versetzt wird. Die Mikroprozessorsteuerung steuert in der zweiten Betriebsart die Schrittmotoren 36 und 36' in Abhängigkeit von den Signalen des Sensors 60'. Der Drehmomentenfluß vom Schrittmotor 36 über die zweite Übertragung zur Transportrolle 42' ist in Figur 3 durch eine Strichpunktlinie dargestellt, wobei die Drehrichtung der Abzugswelle 32 durch einen Drehrichtungspfeil angegeben sind.The output process takes place in the second operating mode if the microprocessor is executing the control program e.g. a bill 40 'with that in the individual module 14 Existing nominal value must be given in the above Way, but only the stepper motor 36 'for the pull-off process with the help of the take-off roller 30 'and then the Stepper motor 36 for the transport of the bill 40 ' With the help of the transport roller 42 'rotated becomes. The microprocessor control controls in the second Operating mode the stepper motors 36 and 36 'depending from the signals from the sensor 60 '. The torque flow from stepper motor 36 via the second transmission to Transport roller 42 'is in Figure 3 by a chain line shown, the direction of rotation of the trigger shaft 32 are indicated by an arrow indicating the direction of rotation.

Die Einwegkupplungen 88 und 90 des ersten Einzelmoduls 12 sind in der zweiten Betriebsart freigeschaltet. Die Einwegkupplung 88' des zweiten Einzelmoduls 14 ist gesperrt und überträgt die durch einen Drehrichtungspfeil verdeutlichte Drehung der Abzugswelle 32' auf die Abzugsrolle 30'. Die Einwegkupplung 90' ist ebenfalls gesperrt und überträgt die Drehung der Riemenscheibe 92' auf die Transportwelle 44' und die mit ihr starr verbundene Transportrolle 42' entsprechend dem Drehrichtungspfeil auf der Transportwelle 44'.The one-way clutches 88 and 90 of the first individual module 12 are activated in the second operating mode. The one-way clutch 88 'of the second individual module 14 is blocked and transmits the one indicated by an arrow indicating the direction of rotation Rotation of the take-off shaft 32 'on the take-off roller 30 '. The one-way clutch 90 'is also locked and transmits the rotation of the pulley 92 'to the Transport shaft 44 'and the rigidly connected to it Transport roller 42 'according to the direction of rotation arrow on the transport shaft 44 '.
