Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Abgabe und/oder Entgegennahme von Einzelblättern, insbesondere Banknoten.The invention relates to a device for dispensing and / or Acceptance of single sheets, especially banknotes.

Es sind Geldausgabeautomaten bekannt, bei denen die Banknoten in Sammelbehältern in Form eines Banknotenstapels enthalten sind und mit Hilfe einer Abzugs- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung abgezogen werden. Diese Abzugsund Vereinzelungsvorrichtung hat üblicherweise eine Abzugsrolle, welche in eine Öffnung in einer zur Stapelendfläche parallelen Stirnwand des Behälters eingreift und jeweils das oberste Blatt des Stapels in einen zwischen einer Transportrolle und einer Abstreiferrolle gebildeten Walzenspalt führt. Eine solche Vorrichtung, wie sie beispielsweise in der DE 44 08 981 beschrieben ist, eignet sich aber nur für das Entnehmen von Einzelblättern aus dem Behälter. Ein geordnetes Zuführen und Ablegen von Blättern in dem Behälter ist damit nicht möglich.Cash dispensers are known in which the Banknotes in collection containers in the form of a stack of banknotes are included and with the help of a deduction and Separation device are deducted. This deduction Separating device usually has one Take-off roller, which in an opening in a Stack end face parallel end wall of the container engages and the top sheet of the stack in one between a transport roller and one Wiper roller formed nip leads. Such Device such as that described in DE 44 08 981 described, but is only suitable for removing Single sheets from the tray. Orderly feeding and dropping leaves in the container is not possible.

Andererseits ist beispielsweise aus der EP-A-333 102 eine Vorrichtung zur Entgegennahme und geordneten Ablage von Einzelblättern in einem Behälter bekannt. Dabei werden die von einer Transportbahn kommenden Einzelblätter mit Hilfe einer Stapelvorrichtung auf einer Stapelplattform hochkant zu einem Stapel aufgestellt, der dann mittels einer Stopfeinrichtung durch die Einführöffnung eines angrenzenden Sammelbehälters geschoben wird, so daß die Einzelblätter in dem Behälter in Form eines Blattstapels abgelegt werden. Zum einen ist die Stapel- und Stopfeinrichtung sowohl hinsichtlich der mechanischen Komponenten als auch des Raumbedarfes relativ aufwendig, zum anderen ist sie nicht geeignet, Einzelblätter. aus demselben Behälter wieder zu entnehmen.On the other hand, for example from EP-A-333 102 Device for the receipt and orderly filing of Single sheets known in a container. The single sheets coming from a transport track with the help a stacking device upright on a stacking platform to a stack, which is then by means of a Darning device through the insertion opening of a adjacent collecting container is pushed so that the Single sheets in the tray in the form of a stack of sheets be filed. For one, the stacking and Darning device both in terms of mechanical Components and space requirements are relatively complex, on the other hand, it is not suitable for single sheets. out to be removed from the same container.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, mit deren Hilfe wahlweise Einzelblätter, die in einem Behälter in Form eines Blattstapels aufbewahrt werden, einzeln ausgegeben oder aber dem Behälter einzeln unter Bildung eines Blattstapels in dem Behälter zugeführt werden können:The invention has for its object a device specify, with the help of optional single sheets, which in stored in a container in the form of a stack of sheets are issued individually or the container individually fed to form a stack of sheets in the container can be:

Diese Aufgäbe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This task is by the specified in claim 1 Features solved.

Wird bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung der Blattschieber betätigt, so versucht er, das die Stapelendfläche bildende Einzelblatt in der Blattebene zu verschieben. Da das Blatt aber innerhalb des Behälters nicht ausweichen kann, wird es gestaucht und wölbt sich unter Bildung einer Blattbeule durch die Durchtrittsöffnung nach außen. Dabei legt sich die Blattbeule an die der Stapelendfläche nächst gelegene Transportwalze an, die das Blatt durch Reibung erfaßt und das in die Schieberichtung des Blattschiebers weisende Ende des Einzelblattes entgegen der Blattschieberichtung hinter dem betreffenden zweiten Rand hervor zieht. Das freie Blattende gelangt aufgrund der Blattspannung und der Wirkung der Transportwalze in den Walzenspalt, so daß es von den beiden Transportwalzen gemeinsam in konventioneller Weise abtransportiert werden kann.Will the leaf slide in the solution according to the invention actuated, he tries to form the end of the stack Shift single sheet in the sheet plane. Because the sheet but cannot dodge inside the container, it will compressed and bulging to form a bump in the leaf through the passage opening to the outside. It lies down the bump to the one closest to the end of the stack Transport roller on, which grips the sheet by friction and the end pointing in the sliding direction of the blade slide of the single sheet against the sheet slide direction behind the second margin in question. The free Leaf end arrives due to the leaf tension and the Effect of the transport roller in the nip so that it of the two transport rollers together in conventional Way can be removed.

Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, daß auf diese Weise nicht nur eine einwandfreie Vereinzelung der Blätter möglich ist, sondern daß durch Umschalten der Antriebsrichtung der die Transportwalzen und den Blattschieber antreibenden Antriebsmittel Einzelblätter durch die Transportwalzen zu dem Behälter zugeführt und mit Hilfe des Blattschiebers in den Behälter eingeführt werden können, wobei das Blatt auf der jeweiligen Stapelendfläche des in dem Behälter stehenden Blattstapels entlang gleitet. Um das sichere und genaue Zuführen der Einzelblätter zu dem Blattschieber zu erleichtern, ist es dabei zweckmäßig, wenn zwischen den Transportwalzen und dem Blattschieber eine Blattleitfläche angeordnet ist, die den Abstand zwischen dem Walzenspalt und der Kontaktfläche des Blattschiebers an der Stapelendfläche überbrückt.Surprisingly, it has been shown that this way not just a perfect separation of the leaves is possible, but that by switching the Drive direction of the transport rollers and the Sheet pusher driving drive single sheets fed through the transport rollers to the container and with With the help of the leaf pusher can, with the sheet on the respective stack end face of the sheet stack standing in the container slides along. To ensure the safe and precise feeding of the single sheets to the To facilitate leaf slide, it is useful if between the transport rollers and the leaf slide Blade guide surface is arranged, the distance between the nip and the contact surface of the blade slide bridges the stack end surface.

Vorzugsweise hat der Blattschieber mindestens ein auf einer zur Stapelendfläche parallelen Achse exzentrisch gelagertes Eingriffselement. Dies hat den Vorzug, daß der Antrieb des Blattschiebers ein Drehantrieb sein kann, der einfacher zu realisieren ist als der Antrieb für ein hin und her bewegtes Element. Ein solches exzentrisch gelagertes Eingriffselement kann beispielsweise in Form einer Segmentrolle ausgebildet sein, die bei ihrem Umlauf nur während des durch den Segmentbogen vorgegebenen Teils des Umlaufkreises mit der Blattoberfläche in Berührung tritt. Der Achsabstand des Eingriffselementes von der Stapelendfläche kann dabei so bemessen sein, daß durch das Eingriffselement ein leichter Druck auf die Stapelendfläche ausgeübt wird, durch den das die Stapelendfläche bildende Einzelblatt von der die Durchtrittsöffnung enthaltenden Behälterwand geringfügig abgehoben wird, so daß es leichter hinter den zweiten Rändern herausgezogen bzw. hinter diese eingeschoben werden kann.The blade slide preferably has at least one on one axis eccentrically mounted to the stack end face Engaging member. This has the advantage that the drive of the Leaf slide can be a rotary actuator that is easier to use realizing is as the drive for a back and forth moving element. Such an eccentrically mounted Engagement element can for example in the form of a Segment roller be formed, which only in its circulation during the part of the Orbital circuit comes into contact with the surface of the blade. The center distance of the engagement element from the Stack end surface can be dimensioned so that Engagement element a light pressure on the stack end surface is exercised by that forming the stack end surface Single sheet of the one containing the passage opening Container wall is raised slightly, making it easier pulled out behind the second edges or behind them can be inserted.

Vorzugsweise sind der Blattschieber und die Transportwalzen zusammen mit den Antriebsmitteln an einem Rahmen angeordnet, in den der Behälter einschiebbar ist. Damit wird der Behälteraufbau vereinfacht. Der Behälter benötigt lediglich eine Verschlußklappe, welche die Durchtrittsöffnung verschließt, solange sich der Behälter außerhalb des Rahmens befindet, und die beim Einschieben des Behälters selbsttätig geöffnet wird, wie dies bei Kassetten für Geldausgabeautomaten an sich bekannt ist.The leaf slider and the transport rollers are preferred together with the drive means on a frame arranged, into which the container can be inserted. In order to the container structure is simplified. The container needed just a flap, which the Passage closes as long as the container is outside the frame, and that when inserted the container is opened automatically, as is the case with Cassettes for ATMs are known per se.

Um einen sicheren und schlupffreien Transport der abgezogenen Blätter zu erleichtern, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Transportwalzen jeweils eine Mehrzahl von zueinander koaxialen, axial beabstandeten Rollen haben, wobei die Rollen der einen Walze jeweils in axialer Richtung zwischen den Rollen der anderen Walzen liegen. Dadurch entsteht ein - in axialer Richtung betrachtet - leicht mäanderförmiger Walzenspalt, der einen sicheren Eingriff der Rollen mit der Blattoberfläche gewährleisten.To ensure safe and slip-free transport of the to lighten peeled leaves, it is useful if the transport rollers each have a plurality of one another have coaxial, axially spaced rollers, the Roll one roller each in the axial direction between the roles of the other rollers. This creates a - viewed in the axial direction - slightly more meandering Nip, which ensures a secure engagement of the rollers with the Ensure leaf surface.

Vorzugsweise sind die Transportwalzen so angeordnet, daß die Achsen 'der beiden Transportwalzen in einer zu Stapelendfläche senkrechten und zu den zweiten Rändern parallelen Ebene liegen.The transport rollers are preferably arranged such that the axes of the two transport rollers in one Stack end surface perpendicular and to the second edges parallel plane.

In Figur 1 ist mit 10 ein Einschubrahmen für einen quaderförmigen Behälter 12 bezeichnet, der zur Aufnahme eines Stapels 14 (Figur 2) von Einzelblättern (16) dient. In Figure 1 with 10 is a slide-in frame for one cuboid-shaped container 12 designated for receiving a stack 14 (Figure 2) of single sheets (16) is used.

Der Rahmen 10 ist Teil eines Gerätes zur Ausgabe und Entgegennahme von Einzelblättern, insbesondere Banknoten. Von dem Rahmen 10 ist nur eine Seitenwand 18 zu sehen, die über einen Einschubboden 20 mit einer zweiten zur Seitenwand 18 parallelen nicht dargestellten Seitenwand verbunden ist.The frame 10 is part of a device for output and Acceptance of single sheets, especially banknotes. From the frame 10, only one side wall 18 can be seen via a shelf 20 with a second Side wall 18 parallel side wall, not shown connected is.

Zwischen den beiden Seitenwänden 18 des Rahmens 10 erstrecken sich zwei Transportwalzen 22, 24, die jeweils aus einer in den Seitenwänden 18 gelagerten Welle 26 und darauf angeordneten Rollen 28 bestehen. Die Rollen 28 auf der jeweiligen Welle 26 haben dabei eines axialen Abstand voneinander, wobei die Rollen 28 der Transportwalze 22 gegenüber den Rollen 28 der Transportwalze 24 axial so versetzt sind, daß die Transportrollen 28 der einen Walze zwischen die Rollen 28 der anderen Transportwalze eingreifen.Between the two side walls 18 of the frame 10 extend two transport rollers 22, 24, each from a shaft 26 and there are arranged rollers 28. The rollers 28 on the respective shaft 26 have an axial distance from each other, the rollers 28 of the transport roller 22nd compared to the rollers 28 of the transport roller 24 axially so are offset that the transport rollers 28 of a roller between the rollers 28 of the other transport roller intervention.

Die Welle 26 der Transportwalze 24 wird über einen Motor 30 angetrieben und treibt ihrerseits über ein Zahnrad 32 und ein mit der Welle 26 der Transportwalze 22 drehfest verbundenes Zahnrad 34 die Transportwalze 22 an.The shaft 26 of the transport roller 24 is driven by a motor 30 driven and in turn drives a gear 32 and a rotatably with the shaft 26 of the transport roller 22 connected gear 34 to the transport roller 22.

Unterhalb der Transportwalzen 22 und 24 ist ein Blattschieber in Form einer Segmentwalze 36 angeordnet, die eine zu den Wellen 26 der Transportwalzen 22 und 24 parallele Welle 38 und eine Mehrzahl auf dieser angeordneter Segmentrollen 40 hat. Die Welle 38 der Segmentwalze 36 ist mit einem Motor 42 gekoppelt. Sie könnte auch über ein geeignetes Getriebe mit dem Antriebsmotor 30 für die Transportwalzen 22, 24 gekoppelt sein.Below the transport rollers 22 and 24 is a Leaf slide arranged in the form of a segment roller 36, the one to the shafts 26 of the transport rollers 22 and 24 parallel shaft 38 and a plurality thereon has arranged segment rollers 40. The shaft 38 of the Segment roller 36 is coupled to a motor 42. she could also have a suitable gearbox with the Drive motor 30 for the transport rollers 22, 24 coupled his.

Die unterhalb des Einschubbodens 20 angeordneten Transportwalzen 22, 24 sind mit den oberen Transportwalzen 22, 24 identisch und gehören zu einer weiteren Blattspeichereinheit.The arranged below the shelf 20 Transport rollers 22, 24 are with the upper transport rollers 22, 24 identical and belong to another Sheet storage unit.

Der Behälter 12 hat einen Boden 44, eine Deckfläche 46 und Seitenwände 48 und an seiner dem Transportmechanismus 22, 24 zugekehrten Stirnfläche eine Durchtrittsöffnung 50. Die Abmessung der Durchtrittsöffnung 50 parallel zu der Richtung der Wellen 26 ist gleich dem Abstand der Seitenwände 48. Von dem Boden 44 und der Deckfläche 46 dagegen erstreckt sich jeweils ein Randsteg 52 bzw. 54 nach oben bzw. nach unten, so daß die Abmessung der Durchtrittsöffnung 50 senkrecht zu dem Boden 44 kleiner als der Abstand zwischen Boden 44 und Deckfläche 46 des Behälters ist. Diese Randstege 52 und 54 halten daher den Blattstapel 14 in dem Behälter 12 zurück, wobei der Blattstapel 14 mit seiner Stapelendfläche 56 durch eine schematisch dargestellte Andruckvorrichtung 58 gegen die Randstege 52 und 54 gedrückt wird. Eine die Durchtrittsöffnung verschließende Klappe ist ebensowenig dargestellt wie das rückwärtige Ende des Behälters 12, da diese Teile für die vorliegende Erfindung keine Bedeutung haben.The container 12 has a bottom 44, a top surface 46 and Side walls 48 and on its transport mechanism 22, 24 facing end face a passage opening 50. Die Dimension of the passage opening 50 parallel to the Direction of the shafts 26 is equal to the distance of the Side walls 48. From the bottom 44 and the top surface 46 on the other hand, an edge web 52 or 54 extends behind up or down so that the dimension of the Passage opening 50 perpendicular to the bottom 44 smaller than the distance between the bottom 44 and top surface 46 of the Container. These edge webs 52 and 54 therefore hold the Sheet stack 14 back in the container 12, the Sheet stack 14 with its stack end surface 56 through a schematically shown pressure device 58 against the Edge bars 52 and 54 is pressed. A the The flap that closes the passage opening is just as little shown as the rear end of the container 12 since these parts are of no importance for the present invention to have.

Das Abziehen von Einzelblättern aus dem Behälter 14 erfolgt in der Weise, daß die Segmentwalze 36 in der Figur 2 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn gedreht wird, wie dies in Figur 2 durch den Pfeil A angedeutet ist. Die Segmentrolle 40 ist so gestaltet und bemessen, daß sie mit ihren kreisbogenförmigen Umfangsabschnitt 60 in die Durchtrittsöffnung 50 eingreift und einen gewissen Druck auf den Stapel 14 entgegen der Wirkung der Andruckvorrichtung 58 ausübt. Bei der Drehbewegung verschiebt die Segmentwalze 36 das die Stapelendfläche 56 bildende Einzelblatt 16 in Richtung auf die Deckfläche 46. Da das Blatt hier jedoch nicht ausweichen kann, wird es gestaucht und bildet eine Blattbeule 62, die sich der Transportwalze 22 nähert. Die Transportwalzen 22 und 24 werden gegenläufig in den durch die Pfeile B bezeichneten Richtungen angetrieben. Wenn sich die Beule 62 des Einzelblattes 16 an die Transportwalze 22 anlegt, wird das Einzelblatt 16 von der Transportwalze 22 mitgenommen, so daß das der Deckfläche 46 nahe Ende des Einzelblattes 16 hinter der Randleiste 54 hervorgezogen wird. Aufgrund seiner Blattspannung bleibt das Einzelblatt an der Oberfläche der Walze 22 liegen. Das nun freie Ende des Blattes wird von der Transportwalze 22 soweit mitgenommen, bis das Blatt umschlägt und das freie Blattende in den Walzenspalt zwischen den Transportwalzen 22 und 24 gelangt. Diese können nun das Blatt erfassen und weiter transportieren, wie dies in Figur 3 dargestellt ist. 'Dieser Vorgang wird noch durch eine Leitfläche 64 unterstützt, welche den Zwischenraum zwischen den Transportwalzen 22, 24 und der Segmentwalze 36 überbrückt, wobei die Leitfläche 64 für den Abzugsvorgang jedoch nicht unbedingt erforderlich ist.Single sheets are removed from the container 14 in such a way that the segment roller 36 in FIG Is turned counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 2 the arrow A is indicated. The segment roller 40 is like this designed and dimensioned that they with their circular arcuate peripheral portion 60 in the Passage opening 50 engages and a certain pressure on the stack 14 against the action of Pressure device 58 exercises. When turning the segment roller 36 moves the stack end surface 56 forming single sheet 16 in the direction of the top surface 46. However, since the leaf cannot dodge here, it will compressed and forms a bump 62, which is the Transport roller 22 approaches. The transport rollers 22 and 24 are opposed to those indicated by arrows B. Directions driven. If the bulge 62 of the Cut sheet 16 to the feed roller 22, it will Single sheet 16 taken away from the transport roller 22, see above that the top surface 46 near the end of the single sheet 16th is pulled out behind the edge strip 54. by virtue of the sheet tension remains on the sheet Surface of the roller 22 are. The now free end of the Sheet is taken along by the transport roller 22 as far as until the sheet turns and the free end of the sheet goes into the Roll nip between the transport rollers 22 and 24 passes. These can now capture the sheet and continue transport, as shown in Figure 3. 'This The process is supported by a guide surface 64, which the space between the transport rollers 22, 24th and the segment roller 36 bridges, the guide surface 64 not absolutely necessary for the deduction process is.

Für das Zuführen von Einzelblättern zu dem Behälter 12 werden der Drehantrieb 30 für die Transportwalzen 22, 24 und der Drehantrieb 42 für die Segmentwalze 36 umgeschaltet. Das Einzelblatt wird von den Transportwalzen 22 und 24 eingezogen und entlang der Leitfläche 64 in Spalt zwischen der Segmentwalze 36 und der Stapelendfläche 56 eingeschoben. Bevor ein Blatt in den Behälter 12 eingeschoben werden kann, wird die Andruckvorrichtung 58 durch einen Antriebsmotor 55, dessen Ausgangsritzel 57 mit einer Zahnstange kämmt, geringfügig zurück (das heißt in den Figuren 2 und 3 nach rechts) gefahren, so daß die Stapelendfläche 56 nur lose an den Randstegen 52 und 54 anliegt. Dann kann das Blatt problemlos hinter den unteren Randsteg 52 geschoben werden. Bei weiterer Drehung der Transportwalze entgegen der Richtung des Pfeiles B bildet das Blatt wieder eine kleine Beule, bevor sein Nachlaufende in Richtung auf die Stapelendfläche 56 umschlägt und hinter den oberen Randsteg 54 gleitet. Nach dem Zuführen des letzten Einzelblattes wird die Andruckkraft der Andruckvorrichtung 58 wieder erhöht. Wenn die Transportwalze 22 aus einzelnen axial beabstandeten Rollen besteht, kann das Einführen der Blätter in den Behälter 12 noch erleichtert werden, wenn der obere Randsteg 54 kammartig ausgebildet ist und mit den Kammzinken zwischen die Rollen greift. Auch kann die Oberfläche der Rollen der Transportwalze 22 mit kleinen radialen Zähnen versehen sein, die den Mitnahmeeffekt verbessern.For feeding single sheets to the tray 12 the rotary drive 30 for the transport rollers 22, 24 and the rotary drive 42 for the segment roller 36 switched. The single sheet is from the transport rollers 22 and 24 retracted and along the guide surface 64 in the gap between the segment roller 36 and the stack end surface 56 inserted. Before a sheet is placed in the tray 12 can be inserted, the pressure device 58th by a drive motor 55, the output pinion 57 with a toothed rack, slightly back (i.e. in Figures 2 and 3 to the right), so that the End of stack surface 56 only loosely at edge webs 52 and 54 is applied. Then the sheet can easily go behind the bottom Edge web 52 are pushed. With further rotation of the Forms transport roller against the direction of arrow B. the leaf again a little bump before being Trailing end towards the stack end surface 56 turns and slides behind the upper edge web 54. To the last single sheet is fed The pressing force of the pressing device 58 is increased again. If the transport roller 22 from individual axially spaced Rolls can be inserted into the sheets Container 12 can still be relieved if the upper Edge web 54 is formed like a comb and with the Comb teeth grips between the rollers. It can also Surface of the rollers of the transport roller 22 with small radial teeth are provided, which has the entrainment effect improve.

Man erkennt, daß die Abzugs- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung äußerst einfach ist in ihrem Aufbau und durch einfache Drehrichtungsumkehr sowohl für das Abziehen als auch für das Zuführen von Einzelblättern verwendet werden kann, wobei die Einzelblätter beim Zuführen zu dem Behälter auch ordentlich in Stapelform abgelegt werden. It can be seen that the deduction and separating device is extremely simple in its structure and by simple Reversal of direction of rotation for both pulling and the feeding of single sheets can be used the cut sheets also being fed to the container neatly stacked.
