Description

Anordnung für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut, insbesondere von Banknoten, mit einer mechanischen Vereinzelungseinrichtung und einer mechanischen Rückhalteeinrichtung sowie einer Einstelleinrichtung für die Einstellung eines sich zwischen der Vereinzelungseinrichtung und der Rückhalteeinrichtung ergebenden Vereinzelerspalts.Arrangement for the separation of sheet material, in particular banknotes, with a mechanical separating device and a mechanical retaining device and an adjusting device for the adjustment of a separating gap resulting between the separating device and the retaining device.

Für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut, insbesondere von Banknoten, sind Anordnungen bekannt geworden, die eine mechanische Vereinzelungseinrichtung und eine mechanische Rückhalteeinrichtung aufweisen. Die Anordnungen werden beispielsweise in Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschinen dazu verwendet von einem Stapel von Banknoten jeweils eine einzelne Banknote abzuziehen, um diese in der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine zu bearbeiten, d. h. die Banknote zu prüfen, sortieren usw. Bei der Vereinzelung der Banknoten erfaßt die Vereinzelungseinrichtung jeweils eine Banknote, wohingegen die Rückhalteeinrichtung weitere Banknoten des Stapels zurückhält, damit jeweils nur eine einzige Banknote vereinzelt wird.Arrangements have become known for the separation of sheet material, in particular banknotes, which have a mechanical separating device and a mechanical retaining device. The arrangements are used, for example, in banknote processing machines to deduct a single banknote from a stack of banknotes in order to process them in the banknote processing machine, i. H. to check the banknote, sorting, etc. In the separation of the banknotes the separating device detects a banknote, whereas the retaining device holds back further banknotes of the stack, so that only a single banknote is singled out in each case.

Damit bei der Vereinzelung von Banknoten gute Ergebnisse erzielt werden können, ist es von großer Bedeutung, daß die Vereinzelungseinrichtung und die Rückhalteeinrichtung einen definierten Abstand voneinander aufweisen. Dieser Abstand wird auch Vereinzelerspalt genannt und entspricht in etwa der Dicke der zu vereinzelnden Banknoten. Es ist üblich, die Weite des Vereinzelerspalts derart einzustellen, daß diese geringfügig kleiner als die Dicke der zu vereinzelnden Banknoten ist. Für die Einstellung des Vereinzelersspalts ist bei den bekannten Anordnungen eine Einstelleinrichtung vorgesehen, mit der die Weite des Vereinzelerspalts verändert werden kann.So that good results can be achieved in the separation of banknotes, it is of great importance that the separating device and the retaining device have a defined distance from each other. This distance is also called singular gap and corresponds approximately to the thickness of the banknotes to be separated. It is common to adjust the width of the singler gap such that it is slightly smaller than the thickness of the banknotes to be singled. For the adjustment of the separating gap, an adjusting device is provided in the known arrangements, with which the width of the separating gap can be changed.

Die bekannte Einstelleinrichtung weist eine Exztenterwelle auf, mit welcher der Abstand zwischen Rückhalteeinrichtung und Vereinzelungseinrichtung verändert werden kann, um damit die Weite des Vereinzelerspalts einzustellen. Die Exzenterwelle wird dabei von einer zylindrischen Welle gebildet, die exzentrisch gelagert ist. Bei der Einstellung des Vereinzelerspalts ergibt sich deshalb eine Veränderung der Weite des Vereinzelerspalts, die wegen der Verwendung der Exzenterwelle sehr stark schwankt und von der jeweiligen Stellung der Exzenterwelle abhängt.The known adjusting device has an eccentric shaft, with which the distance between the retaining device and the separating device can be changed in order to adjust the width of the separating gap. The eccentric shaft is formed by a cylindrical shaft which is mounted eccentrically. When setting the singler gap, therefore, there is a change in the width of the singler gap, which varies greatly due to the use of the eccentric shaft and depends on the respective position of the eccentric shaft.

Derartige Einstelleinrichtungen sind beispielsweise aus GB 2,165,222 A , US 6,102,390 und US 5,120,043 bekannt.Such adjusters are for example off GB 2,165,222 A . US 6,102,390 and US 5,120,043 known.

Die bekannte Anordnung für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut weist somit den Nachteil auf, daß sich die Einstellung des Vereinzelerspalts auf das jeweils zu vereinzelnde Blattgut sehr schwierig gestalten kann, da das Verstellen der Einstelleinrichtung bzw. der Exzenterwelle um einen bestimmten Winkel nicht zu einer bestimmten, gleichbleibenden Veränderung der Weite des Vereinzelerspalts führt.The known arrangement for the separation of sheet material thus has the disadvantage that the setting of the singular gap on the particular sheet material to be separated can make very difficult, since the adjustment of the adjustment or the eccentric shaft by a certain angle not to a certain, consistent Change in the width of the singular gap leads.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Anordnung für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut, insbesondere von Banknoten, mit einer mechanischen Vereinzelungseinrichtung und einer mechanischen Rückhalteeinrichtung sowie einer Einstelleinrichtung für die Einstellung eines sich zwischen der Vereinzelungseinrichtung und der Rückhalteeinrichtung ergebenden Vereinzelerspalts anzugeben, bei der die Einstellung der Weite des Vereinzelerspalts in einem fest vorgegebenen Zusammenhang mit der Verstellung der Einstelleinrichtung steht.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an arrangement for the separation of sheet material, in particular banknotes, with a mechanical separation device and a mechanical restraint device and an adjustment device for setting a between the separating device and the restraint resulting Vereinzelerspalts in which the setting the width of the separating gap is in a fixed predetermined relationship with the adjustment of the adjustment.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung geht dabei von der Überlegung aus, daß sich bei einer Anordnung für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut, insbesondere von Banknoten, mit einer mechanischen Vereinzelungseinrichtung und einer mechanischen Rückhalteeinrichtung sowie einer Einstelleinrichtung für die Einstellung eines sich zwischen der Vereinzelungseinrichtung und der Rückhalteeinrichtung ergebenden Vereinzelerspalts, eine gleichmäßige Veränderung des Vereinzelerspalts über den gesamten Einstellbereich ergibt, wenn die Einstelleinrichtung ein Einstellmittel mit einem nockenförmigen Profil aufweist.The invention is based on the consideration that, in an arrangement for the separation of sheet material, in particular banknotes, with a mechanical separation device and a mechanical restraint device and an adjusting device for adjusting a resulting between the singulator and the restraint Vereinzelerspalts, a uniform variation of the dicing gap over the entire adjustment range results when the adjustment device has an adjustment means with a cam-shaped profile.

Die Erfindung weist somit insbesondere den Vorteil auf, daß die Einstellung des Vereinzelerspalts besonders einfach ist und gut durchgeführt werden kann, da sich wegen des nockenförmigen Einstellmittels eine gleichmäßige Veränderung des Vereinzelerspalts über den gesamten Einstellbereich ergibt, so daß die Einstellung unabhängig von der jeweiligen Stellung der Einstelleinrichtung bzw. des Einstellmittels vorgenommen werden kann.The invention thus has the particular advantage that the adjustment of the Vereinzelerspalts is particularly simple and can be performed well, since due to the cam-shaped adjusting means a uniform change in the Vereinzelerspalts over the entire adjustment results, so that the setting regardless of the respective position of the Adjustment or the adjustment can be made.

Weitere Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen sowie der nachfolgenden Beschreibung einer Ausführungsform anhand von Figuren.Further advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the following description of an embodiment with reference to figures.

It shows:

a detailed view of a component of the arrangement for the separation of sheet material after FIG. 1 ,

In Figur 1 ist eine schematische Darstellung eines prinzipiellen Aufbaus einer Anordnung 20 für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut dargestellt.In FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a basic structure of an arrangement 20 for the separation of sheet material shown.

Die Anordnung 20 wird von einer mechanischen Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40, beispielsweise einer angetriebenen Walze mit in Umfangsrichtung angeordneten Abschnitten höherer und niedrigerer Reibung, einer Rückhalteeinrichtung 41, die z. B. ebenfalls von einer Walze gebildet werden kann, und einer Einstelleinrichtung 30 bis 36, für die Einstellung eines sich zwischen Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 und Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 ergebenden Vereinzelerspalts 42.The assembly 20 is a mechanical singulator 40, for example a driven roller with circumferentially disposed portions of higher and lower friction, a retainer 41, the z. B. can also be formed by a roller, and an adjustment 30 to 36, for the setting of a singling between 40 and retaining device 41 resulting Vereinzelerspalts 42nd

Zur Vereinzelung von Blattgut, z. B. von Banknoten, werden die Banknoten in einem Stapel auf einer Ablage 50 abgelegt. Die jeweils unterste Banknote wird von der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 erfaßt und der Stapel der Banknoten wird in den Bereich zwischen Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 und Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 bewegt. Für die sichere Führung der Banknoten im Stapel kann zusätzlich eine Zuführeinrichtung 37, beispielsweise ein Leitblech, vorgesehen sein. Erreicht der Abschnitt der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 mit höherer Reibung den Bereich zwischen Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 und Rückhalteeinrichtung 41, wird die unterste, mit der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 in Kontakt stehende Banknote durch den Vereinzelerspalt 42 transportiert und an ein Transportsystem 51 übergeben, welche die Banknote zur weiteren Bearbeitung transportiert. Die übrigen im Stapel befindlichen Banknoten werden von der Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 zurückgehalten, so daß jeweils nur eine Banknote durch den Vereinzelerspalt 42 transportiert wird. Dazu ist die Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 derart ausgebildet, daß sie eine Kraft auf die Banknoten ausübt, die größer als die Kraft der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 in dem Abschnitt niedrigerer Reibung ist, jedoch kleiner als die Kraft der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 in dem Abschnitt höherer Reibung.For separation of sheet material, z. B. banknotes, the banknotes are stored in a stack on a tray 50. The respectively lowest bank note is detected by the singulator 40 and the stack of banknotes is moved into the area between singulator 40 and retainer 41. For the secure guidance of banknotes in the stack, a feeder 37, such as a baffle, may be additionally provided. If the section of the separating device 40 with higher friction reaches the area between the singling device 40 and the retaining device 41, the lowermost banknote in contact with the singling device 40 is transported through the singling gap 42 and transferred to a transport system 51, which transports the banknote for further processing. The remaining bills in the stack are retained by the retaining device 41, so that only one banknote is transported through the separating gap 42. To this end, the retainer 41 is configured to exert a force on the bills greater than the force of the singulator 40 in the lower friction portion, but less than the force of the singulator 40 in the higher friction portion.

Dies kann beispielsweise durch die Wahl eines Materials für die Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 mit einer Reibung, die zwischen der niedrigeren und der höheren Reibung der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 liegt, erreicht werden.This can be achieved, for example, by the choice of a material for the retaining device 41 with a friction which lies between the lower and the higher friction of the singulator 40.

Die gewünschte Rückhaltewirkung kann ebenfalls durch geeignete geometrische Gestaltung erreicht werden. Dabei kann die Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 eine Reibung aufweisen, welche der höheren Reibung der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 entspricht. Die geometrische Gestaltung sieht dann im Abschnitt der höheren Reibung der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 eine größere Fläche vor als bei der Rückhalteeinrichtung 41, so daß die Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40, bei gleicher Reibung eine größere Kraft als die Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 ausübt, wodurch die mit der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 41 in Kontakt stehende Banknote vereinzelt wird.The desired retention effect can also be achieved by suitable geometric design. In this case, the retaining device 41 may have a friction which corresponds to the higher friction of the singling device 40. The geometrical configuration then provides a greater area in the section of higher friction of the singling device 40 than in the restraint device 41, so that the singling device 40 exerts a greater force than the restraining device 41 with the same friction, whereby the one in contact with the singling device 41 Banknote is isolated.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit zur Erreichung der gewünschten Rückhaltewirkung ist in DE 100 08 135 A1 dargestellt. Dabei ist es vorgesehen, daß die Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 und die Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 als Walzen ausgebildet sind, die jeweils abwechselnd Erhöhungen und Vertiefungen aufweisen, wobei die Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 und die Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 derart angeordnet sind, daß jeweils eine Erhöhung der einen Einrichtung auf eine Vertiefung der anderen Einrichtung trifft. Wird der Vereinzelerspalt 42 zwischen der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 und der Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 geringfügig kleiner als die Dicke der zu vereinzelnden Banknoten eingestellt, wird die zu vereinzelnde Banknote wellenförmig verformt und die Katen der aneinander grenzenden Erhöhungen von Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 und Rückhalteeinrichtung 40 bewirken die Vereinzelung bzw. Rückhaltung der Banknoten.Another way to achieve the desired retention effect is in DE 100 08 135 A1 shown. It is envisaged that the separating device 40 and the retaining device 41 are formed as rollers, each having elevations and depressions alternately, wherein the separating device 40 and the retaining device 41 are arranged such that in each case an increase of the one device to a recess of the other Facility meets. If the separating gap 42 between the separating device 40 and the retaining device 41 is set slightly smaller than the thickness of the bank notes to be separated, the banknote to be separated is deformed wave-shaped and the cascades of the adjoining elevations of singulator 40 and retaining device 40 cause the separation or retention of the paper money.

Zur Einstellung des Vereirizelerspalts 42 weist die Einstelleinrichtung 30 bis 36 einen Hebel 31 auf, der über einer Rastung 32, 33 mit einem Einstellmittel 30 verbunden ist. Das Einstellmittel 30 kann wellenförmig gestaltet sein und weist ein nockenförmiges Profil auf. Das nockenförmigen Profil des Einstellmittels 30 liegt an einer Halterung 35 an, welche um eine Achse 36 drehbar gelagert ist. Die Achse 35 ist beispielsweise in einem die Anordnung 20 für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut aufnehmenden Gehäuse befestigt. In der Halterung 35 ist außerdem die Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 gelagert. Eine Kraft 38, die beispielsweise von einer Feder erzeugt wird, die ebenfalls in dem Gehäuse befestigt ist, wirkt gegen die Halterung 35 und drückt diese gegen das Einstellmittel 30 bzw. dessen nockenförmiges Profil. Durch Verstellung des Hebels 31 kann die Weite des Vereinzelerspalts 42 eingestellt werden, da die Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 im Gehäuse befestigt ist und somit in Bezug auf die Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 fest steht. Die Rastung 32, 33 des Hebels weist fest vorgegebene Rastungen 34 auf, die z. B. 15° betragen können. Die Rastung 32, 33 dient der Erleichterung der Einstellung, prinzipiell kann aber auf die Rastung 32, 33 auch verzichtet werden.To set the Vereiizelerspalts 42, the adjuster 30 to 36, a lever 31 which is connected via a detent 32, 33 with a setting means 30. The adjusting means 30 may be designed wave-shaped and has a cam-shaped profile. The cam-shaped profile of the adjusting means 30 abuts against a holder 35, which is rotatably mounted about an axis 36. The axle 35 is fastened, for example, in a housing 20 receiving the separation of sheet material. In the holder 35, the retainer 41 is also mounted. A force 38, which is generated for example by a spring, which is also mounted in the housing, acts against the holder 35 and presses it against the adjusting means 30 and its cam-shaped profile. By adjusting the lever 31, the width of the separating gap 42 can be adjusted, since the separating device 40 is fastened in the housing and thus is fixed with respect to the retaining device 41. The detent 32, 33 of the lever has fixed predetermined detents 34, the z. B. may be 15 °. The detent 32, 33 serves to facilitate the setting, but in principle can be dispensed with the detent 32, 33 also.

In Figur 2 ist eine Detailansicht des Einstellmittels 30 der Anordnung 20 für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut nach Figur 1 dargestellt.In FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the adjusting means 30 of the arrangement 20 for the separation of sheet material after FIG. 1 shown.

In der Figur 2 ist das nockenförmige Profil des Einstellmittels 30 dargestellt, sowie zum Vergleich ein Profil einer exzentrisch gelagerten Welle 60, mit einem Profil einer dazu zentrisch gelagerten Welle 61. Außerdem ist beispielhaft ein Einstellbereich von 180° dargestellt, der in zwölf gleich große Bereiche 1 bis 12 unterteilt ist, die den oben beschriebenen Rastungen 34 der Rastung 32, 33 entsprechen. Durch Verstellen des Hebels 31 kann der Einstellbereich von 180° durchlaufen werden, wodurch die gewünschte Einstellung der Weite des Vereinzelerspalts 42, die in etwa der Dicke der zu vereinzelnden Banknoten entsprechen soll, erreicht werden kann.In the FIG. 2 is the cam-shaped profile of the adjusting means 30 is shown, and for comparison, a profile of an eccentrically mounted shaft 60, with a profile of a centrically mounted shaft 61. In addition, an adjustment range of 180 ° is shown by way of example, divided into twelve equal areas 1 to 12 is that correspond to the above-described notches 34 of the detent 32, 33. By adjusting the lever 31, the adjustment range of 180 ° can be traversed, whereby the desired setting the width of the Vereinzelerspalts 42, which should correspond to approximately the thickness of the banknotes to be separated, can be achieved.

Durch die Wahl des nockenförmigen Profils des Einstellmittels 30 wird im dargestellten Beispiel erreicht, daß sich eine gleichmäßige Veränderung des Vereinzelerspalts 42 über den gesamten Einstellbereich von 180° ergibt, d. h. jede Rastung 1 bis 12 bewirkt die selbe Veränderung der Weite des Vereinzelerspalts 42.By choosing the cam-shaped profile of the adjusting means 30 is achieved in the example shown that there is a uniform change of the Vereinzelerspalts 42 over the entire adjustment range of 180 °, d. H. each notch 1 to 12 causes the same change in the width of the singular gap 42.

In der nachfolgenden Tabelle ist die Veränderung des Vereinzelerspalts 42 durch das Einstellmittel 30 mit nockenförmigem Profil im Vergleich zur exzentrisch gelagerten Welle 60 in mm dargestellt, wobei jede Rastung 1 bis 12 eine Veränderung der Position des Hebels 31 um 15° bedeutet.

Aus der Tabelle ist ersichtlich, daß sich bei dem Einstellmittel 30 für jede der Rastungen 1 bis 12 eine gleichbleibende Veränderung der Weite des Vereinzelerspalts 42 von 0,075 mm ergibt. Dahingegen ist die Veränderung der Weite des Vereinzelerspalts 42 bei der exzentrisch gelagerten Welle 60 abhängig von der jeweiligen Position der exzentrisch gelagerten Welle 60, wobei die Veränderung der Weite des Vereinzelerspalts 42 von Rastung 1 bis 6 zunimmt, um dann von Rastung 6 bis 12 abzunehmen, wodurch die Einstellung des Vereinzelerspalts 42 erschwert wird. Die gleichbleibende Veränderung des Vereinzlerspalts 42 bei dem Einstellmittel 30 um jeweils 0,075 mm erleichtert dahingegen die Einstellung des Vereinzelerspalts 42 auf die gewünschte Weite.From the table it can be seen that in the adjustment means 30 for each of the notches 1 to 12 a constant change in the width of the Vereinzelerspalts 42 of 0.075 mm results. On the other hand, the change in the width of the separating gap 42 in the eccentrically mounted shaft 60 is dependent on the respective position of the eccentrically mounted shaft 60, wherein the change in the width of the separating gap 42 increases from detent 1 to 6, and then decrease from detent 6 to 12, whereby the adjustment of the Vereinzelerspalts 42 is difficult. The constant change of Vereinzlerspalts 42 in the adjustment means 30 by 0.075 mm, however, facilitates the adjustment of the Vereinzelerspalts 42 to the desired width.

In Abwandlung von der oben beschriebenen Form der Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 als Walze, kann eine geeignete andere Form gewählt werden, z. B. eine kufenförmige Rückhalteeinrichtung.In a modification of the above-described form of the retainer 41 as a roller, a suitable other shape can be selected, for. B. a skid-shaped retaining device.

Ebenso ist es möglich, statt der oben beschriebenen Veränderung der Weite des Vereinzelersspalts 42 über die Verstellung der Position der Rückhalteeinrichtung 41, eine Verstellung der Position Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 vorzunehmen. Darüber hinaus kann es vorgesehen sein, daß sowohl die Position der Rückhalteeinrichtung 41 als auch die Position der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 40 verändert wird.It is also possible, instead of the above-described change in the width of the separating gap 42 via the adjustment of the position of the retaining device 41, make an adjustment of the position singulator 40. In addition, it may be provided that both the position of the retaining device 41 and the position of the singulator 40 is changed.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung für die Vereinzelung von Blattgut eignet sich besonders für einen Einsatz in Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschinen, die für das Zählen, Prüfen, Bewerten, Sortieren, Zerstören usw. von Banknoten verwendet werden. Durch die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung wird sichergestellt, daß nur einzelne Banknoten an das Transportsystem der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine übergeben werden, wodurch die Gesamtfunktion der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine verbessert wird. Die Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine kann auch dazu ausgelegt sein Banknoten einer Einzahlung automatisch anzunehmen.The sheet separation arrangement according to the invention is particularly suitable for use in banknote processing machines used for counting, checking, evaluating, sorting, destroying, etc. banknotes. By using the arrangement according to the invention, it is ensured that only individual banknotes are transferred to the transport system of the bank-note processing machine, whereby the overall function of the bank-note processing machine is improved. The bank note processing machine may also be adapted to automatically accept banknotes of a deposit.
