Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Selbstbedienungssystem zur Einzahlung und Auszahlung von Münzen mit einer Vorrichtung zur Eingabe von Münzen und einer Vorrichtung zur Ausgabe von Münzen.The invention relates to a self-service system for deposit and withdrawal of coins with a device for entering coins and a device for dispensing coins.

Aus Selbstbedienungszonen von Banken sind Selbstbedienungsautomaten zur Versorgung mit Münzen und Entsorgung von Münzen bekannt. Die Versorgung von Einzelhändlern mit Münzen (Wechselgeldversorgung) erfolgt durch die Bereitstellung definierter Münzgebinde (z. B. in Form von in Papier eingeschlagenen Münzrollen). Bei der Entsorgung der Tageseinnahmen spielt die Massenmünzeinzahlung eine wichtige Rolle, wobei eine Vielzahl von Münzen beispielsweise über eine trichterförmige Eingabevorrichtung eingeben wird. Derzeit existieren im Selbstbedienungsumfeld für beide Anwendungen separate Systeme, d. h. Massenmünzeinzahlungsautomaten und Münzrollenauszahlungsautomaten. Beide Systeme werden durch die jeweiligen Bankfilialen betrieben. Dabei erfolgt die Entleerung der Massenmünzeinzahlungsautomaten und die Bestückung der Münzrollenauszahlungsautomaten in zwei voneinander vollständig getrennten Prozessen durch Mitarbeiter der Bank oder durch Mitarbeiter von Werttransportunternehmen. Für den Betrieb der beiden voneinander getrennten Systeme fallen jeweils erhebliche Betriebskosten an.From self-service zones of banks are known self-service machines for coin supply and disposal of coins. Coins (change supply) are supplied to retailers by the provision of defined coin packages (eg in the form of coin rolls wrapped in paper). When disposing of the daily revenues, the bulk coin deposit plays an important role, with a plurality of coins being entered, for example, via a funnel-shaped input device. Currently exist in self-service environment for both applications separate systems, ie Massenmünzeinzahlungsautomaten and Münzrollenauszahlungsautomaten. Both systems are operated by the respective bank branches. The emptying of the coin-coin dispensing machines and the equipping of the coin-dispensing machines takes place in two completely separate processes by employees of the bank or by employees of value-transport companies. For the operation of the two separate systems each incur significant operating costs.

Aus dem Dokument WO 01/38173 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Münzen bekannt, bei der eingegebene Münzen zur Wiederausgabe zu Gebinden zusammengefasst werden, wobei hierfür ein Packmechanismus vorgesehen ist, der zwei Folienrollen umfasst. Der Packmechanismus fertigt aus den Folien Münzbeutel, in denen die Münzen aufgenommen sind.From the document WO 01/38173 A1 a device for handling coins is known, are summarized in the coins for re-dispensing bundles, for this purpose a packing mechanism is provided, comprising two film rolls. The packing mechanism manufactures from the foils coin bags in which the coins are received.

Aus dem Dokument WO 2005/104046 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Münzen bekannt, in die Münzen eingegeben werden können und die die eingegebenen Münzen wieder nach ihrer Denomination sortiert ausgibt.From the document WO 2005/104046 A1 a coin handling device is known in which coins can be entered and which returns the coins entered sorted according to their denomination.

Das Dokument EP 1 583 048 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Wertbeuteln, die ein RFID-Chip zum Aufbringen von Informationen umfasst.The document EP 1 583 048 A1 discloses a method of making pouches comprising an RFID chip for applying information.

Aus dem Dokument US 6,320,928 B1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Münzen bekannt, mit deren Hilfe Münzrollen ausgegeben werden können.From the document US 6,320,928 B1 a device for handling coins is known, with the aid of coin rolls can be issued.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Selbstbedienungssystem auszugeben, das zur Versorgung mit Münzen und Entsorgung von Münzen geeignet ist.The object of the invention is therefore to issue a self-service system that is suitable for supplying coins and disposal of coins.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Selbstbedienungssystem mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafter Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a self-service system having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Durch die Kombination einer Vorrichtung zur Eingabe von Münzen und einer Vorrichtung zur Ausgabe von Münzen in Form von verpackten Münzgebinden in einem Selbstbedienungssystem wird erreicht, dass für die Versorgung mit Münzen und für die Entsorgung von Münzen nur noch ein Selbstbedienungssystem notwendig ist. Hierdurch werden sowohl die Anschaffungs- als auch die Betriebskosten gesenkt. Ferner wird der benötigte Bauraum reduziert. Da die eingezahlten Münzen zumindest zum Teil wieder ausgezahlt werden, sind die Zeitabstände, in denen dem Selbstbedienungssystem Münzen durch einen Mitarbeiter der Bank oder eines Werttransportunternehmens zugeführt oder aus dem Selbstbedienungssystem entnommen werden müssen, größer als bei einem reinen Münzeinzahlungsautomaten bzw. einem reinen Münzrollenauszahlungsautomaten.The combination of a coin dispensing device and a coin dispensing device in a self-service bagged package means that only one self-service system is required for coin supply and coin disposal. As a result, both the acquisition and the operating costs are reduced. Furthermore, the required space is reduced. Since the paid-in coins are paid out at least in part, the time intervals in which the self-service system coins must be supplied by an employee of the bank or a Werttransportunternehmens or removed from the self-service system, greater than a pure Münzeinzahlungsautomaten or a pure Münzrollenauszahlungsautomaten.

Es ist vorteilhaft, eine Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit vorzusehen, mit deren Hilfe die auszuzahlenden Münzen jeweils erst nach Anforderung durch einen Bediener zu einem Münzgebinde bzw. zu Münzgebinde zusammengestellt und verpackt werden. Es ist besonders verteilhaft, wenn die Anforderung des Bedieners eine Angabe zur Anzahl der Münzen im auszugebenden Münzgebinde und/oder eine Angabe über den Wert der Münzen im Münzgebinde umfasst. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass der Wert des Münzgebindes und/oder die Zusammenstellung des Münzgebindes durch den Bediener frei oder innerhalb eines voreingestellten Bereichs wählbar sind.It is advantageous to provide a collection and packaging unit, with the aid of which the coins to be paid out are assembled and packaged only after a request by an operator to a coin package or mint. It is particularly distributive when the request of the operator gives an indication of the number of coins in the to be dispensed coin package and / or an indication of the value of the coins in the mint. This ensures that the value of the Münzgebindes and / or the composition of the Münzgebindes are freely selectable by the operator or within a preset range.

Des Weiteren ist es vorteilhaft, wenn mit Hilfe der Sammelund Verpackungseinheit aus dem Vorrat der eingezahlten Münzen hinsichtlich der Münzanzahl und der Münzwerte voreingestellte verpackte Münzgebinde gebildet und in einem Münzgebindespeicher gespeichert werden, wobei eines der bzw. die im Münzgebindespeicher gespeicherten Münzgebinde auf Anforderung des Bedieners an diesen ausgegeben werden. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die benötigte Zeit für die Ausgabe des durch den Bediener angeforderten Münzgebindes reduziert wird. Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die voreingestellte Münzanzahl und der voreingestellte Münzwert der vorproduzierten Münzgebinde derart gewählt sind, dass die am häufigsten durch den Bediener angeforderten Münzgebinde gebildet werden.Furthermore, it is advantageous if with the aid of the collecting and packaging unit from the stock of deposited coins with respect to the number of coins and coin denominations pre-packaged coin packages are formed and stored in a Münzgebindespeicher, one of the or in the Münzgebindespeicher stored Münzgebinde on request of the operator these are issued. This ensures that the time required for the output of the requested by the operator Münzgebindes is reduced. It is particularly advantageous if the preset number of coins and the preset coin value of the pre-produced coin packages are selected such that the most frequently requested by the operator mint packages are formed.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind auf der Münzgebindeverpackung des verpackten Münzgebindes die Anzahl, der Wert und die Stücklung der Münzen in dem Münzgebinde als Information vermerkt. Es ist vorteilhaft, eine Druckvorrichtung zum Aufdrucken dieser Informationen auf die Münzgebindeverpackung vorzusehen. Alternativ können Münzgebindeverpackungen mit vorgedruckten Informationen verwendet werden und die Münzen entsprechend den vorgedruckten Informationen in die entsprechende Münzgebindeverpackungen gefüllt werden. Durch diese aufgedruckten Informationen erhält der Benutzer schnell alle notwendigen Informationen über das Münzgebinde, wodurch die Handhabung vereinfacht wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the number, value and denomination of coins in the denomination are noted on the coin package of the packaged denomination as information. It is advantageous to provide a printing device for printing this information on the Münzgebindeverpackung. Alternatively, coin-box packages with pre-printed information may be used and the coins filled into the corresponding coin-box packages according to the pre-printed information. Through this printed information, the user quickly receives all the necessary information over the mint, which simplifies handling.

Die Münzgebinde werden mit Hilfe der Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit vorzugsweise derart verpackt, dass eine spätere Öffnung der Münzgebindeverpackung feststellbar ist. Auf diese Weise können eventuelle Manipulationen einfach und zeitnah festgestellt werden.The coin packages are preferably packaged by means of the collection and packaging unit in such a way that a subsequent opening of the coin package can be detected. In this way, any manipulations can be detected easily and promptly.

Als Münzgebindeverpackungen werden vorzugsweise Kunststoffbeutel verwendet. Solche Kunststoffbeutel sind auf einfache Weise herzustellen und lassen sich kostengünstig beschaffen.As a Münzgebindeverpackungen preferably plastic bags are used. Such plastic bags are easy to produce and can be obtained inexpensively.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in dem Selbstbedienungssystem ein Kunststoffbeutelvorrat bestehend aus einer Vielzahl von untereinander verbundenen auf einer Rolle angeordneten Kunststoffbeuteln vorgesehen. Die Kunststoffbeutel sind zum Einfüllen der Münzen in der Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit von der Kunststoffbeutelrolle abrollbar. Die Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit umfasst eine Verschlusseinheit zum Verschließen der Kuriststoffbeutel nach dem Befüllen mit den Münzen und eine Abtrenneinheit zum Abtrennen der befüllten Kunststoffbeutel von der Kunststoffbeutelrolle. Die Abtrenneinheit umfasst insbesondere ein Schneideelement, mit dem der zuletzt befüllte Kunststoffbeutel von den noch nicht befüllten Kunststoffbeuteln der Kunststoffbeutelrolle abgeschnitten wird. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass kein Abfall anfällt, wodurch der Wartungsaufwand reduziert und die Umweltfreundlichkeit erhöht werden kann. Durch die Verwendung einer Kunststoffbeutelrolle zur Bevorratung von Kunststoffbeuteln wird eine einfache Handhabung der Kunststoffbeutel, insbesondere ein einfacher Transport der Kunststoffbeutel vom Kunststoffbeutelvorrat in die Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit erreicht. Ferner können so die noch nicht befüllten Kunststoffbeutel einfach dem Selbstbedienungssystem zugeführt werden. Alternativ können die Kunststoffbeutel einzeln im Kunststoffbeutelvorrat bevorratet werden. Ein befüllter Kunststoffbeutel wird vorzugsweise durch Verschweißen verschlossen.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, a plastic bag supply is provided in the self-service system consisting of a plurality of interconnected disposed on a roll plastic bags. The plastic bags are unrolled for filling the coins in the collection and packaging unit of the plastic bag roll. The collection and packaging unit comprises a closure unit for closing the Kuriststoffbeutel after filling with the coins and a separating unit for separating the filled plastic bag from the plastic bag roll. In particular, the separating unit comprises a cutting element with which the last-filled plastic bag is cut off from the plastic bags of the plastic bag roll that have not yet been filled. This ensures that no waste is generated, whereby the maintenance costs can be reduced and the environmental friendliness can be increased. By using a plastic bag roll for the storage of plastic bags easy handling of the plastic bag, in particular a simple transport of the plastic bag from the plastic bag stock is achieved in the collection and packaging unit. Furthermore, so the not yet filled plastic bags can be easily fed to the self-service system. Alternatively, the plastic bags can be stored individually in the plastic bag stock. A filled plastic bag is preferably closed by welding.

Ferner ist vorteilhaft, wenn die Kunststoffbeutel auf der Kunststoffbeutelrolle jeweils mindestens eine auslesbare Markierung für den gesteuerten Transport der Kunststoffbeutel zur Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit aufweisen.It is furthermore advantageous if the plastic bags on the plastic bag roll each have at least one readable marking for the controlled transport of the plastic bags to the collecting and packing unit.

Die Befülleinheit wiederum umfasst insbesondere eine Blasdüse zum Öffnen einer Befüllöffnung der Kunststoffbeutel mit Hilfe eines durch die Blasdüse erzeugten Luftstroms und einen Fülltrichter zum Zuführen der Münzen in den Kunststoffbeutel durch die Befüllöffnung. Auf diese Weise wird eine einfache und zuverlässige Zuführung der Münzen in die Kunststoffbeutel erreicht.The collection and packaging unit preferably comprises a filling unit for filling the plastic bags with the coins. The filling unit in turn comprises, in particular, a blowing nozzle for opening a filling opening of the plastic bags by means of an air stream generated by the blowing nozzle and a filling funnel for feeding the coins into the plastic bag through the filling opening. In this way, a simple and reliable delivery of the coins is achieved in the plastic bag.

Die Kunststoffbeutel umfassen jeweils eine Rückseite und eine Vorderseite, wobei die Breite der Rückseite und die Breite der Vorderseite gleich sind und die Höhe der Rückseite größer ist als die Höhe der Vorderseite. Die Rückseite und die Vorderseite sind derart miteinander verbunden, dass durch die Vorderseite und einen Teil der Rückseite ein Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme der Münzen gebildet wird. Die Kunststoffbeutel werden insbesondere derart hergestellt, dass eine Folie aus dem Kunststoff, aus dem die Kunststoffbeutel hergestellt sind, von einer Endlosrolle abgerollt und mit ungleicher Schenkellänge übereinander gefaltet wird. Auf diese Weise wird die unterschiedliche Höhe der Vorder- und der Rückseite erreicht. Die Vorder- und Rückseite werden mit einer Verschweißzeile rechtwinklig zur Transportsrichtung der Folie bzw. der Kunststoffbeutel verschweißt. Auf diese Weise wird eine kostengünstige Herstellung der Kunststoffbeutel bzw. der Kunststoffbeutelrolle erreicht.The plastic bags each include a back and a front, wherein the width of the back and the width of the front are the same and the height of the back is greater than the height of the front. The back and the front are joined together in such a way that through the front and a part of the back Receiving area for receiving the coins is formed. The plastic bags are produced in particular such that a film made of the plastic from which the plastic bags are made, unrolled from an endless roll and folded over each other with unequal leg length. In this way, the different height of the front and the back is achieved. The front and back sides are welded at a right angle to the transport direction of the film or the plastic bag with a welding line. In this way, a cost-effective production of the plastic bag or the plastic bag roll is achieved.

In Figur 1 ist eine schematische Darstellung eines Selbstbedienungssystems zur Einzahlung und Auszahlung von Münzen gezeigt. Bei einer Einzahlungstransaktion werden Münzen in ein Eingabefach 12 von einer Bedienperson eingegeben und mit Hilfe einer Münzvereinzelungs- und Zählmaschine 14 geprüft. Die eingezahlten Münzen werden mit Hilfe einer Sortiereinheit 16 in Münzspeicher 18a bis 18d oder in einen Zwischenspeicher 20 befördert. Der Zwischenspeicher 20 wird auch als Escrow bezeichnet. Nach einer Einzahlungsbestätigung durch den Bediener werden die im Zwischenspeicher 20 zwischengespeicherten Münzen in einen Transportbehälter 22 befördert. Die Einzahlungstransaktion ist hiermit abgeschlossen. Im Falle eines Abbruchs der Einzahltransaktion (Storno) werden die Münzen aus dem Zwischenspeicher 20 und den Münzspeicher 18a bis 18d zu einem Rückgabefach 24 befördert und an den Bediener ausgegeben.In FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a self-service system for deposit and withdrawal of coins shown. In a deposit transaction, coins are entered into an input tray 12 by an operator and checked by a coin separator and counter 14. The deposited coins are conveyed by means of a sorting unit 16 into coin storages 18a to 18d or into an intermediate store 20. The cache 20 is also referred to as Escrow. After a payment confirmation by the operator, the cached in the buffer 20 coins are transported into a transport container 22. The deposit transaction is hereby completed. In the event of cancellation of the deposit transaction (cancellation), the coins are transferred from the buffer 20 and the coin stores 18a to 18d to a return bin 24 and issued to the operator.

Bei einer Auszahltransaktion wird eine Anzahl von jeweils aus einer Vielzahl von Münzen gebildeten Münzgebinden ausgezahlt. Hierzu wird die für die Bildung der jeweiligen Münzgebinden notwendige Anzahl von Münzen aus den jeweilgen Münzspeichern 18a bis 18d entnommen und vereinzelt und zu einer Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit 26 zum Sammeln und Verpacken der Münzen zu Münzgebinden transportiert. Hier werden die Münzen in eine Münzgebindeverpackung durch eine Befüllöffnung der Münzgebindeverpackung eingefüllt und die Befüllöffnung revisionssicher zugeschweißt, so dass eventuelle Manipulationen zeitnah und einfach feststellbar sind. Als Münzgebindeverpackungen werden insbesondere Beutel oder Sachets verwendet. Die Beutel sind insbesondere aus Kunststoff gefertigt. Die Beutel werden dann in einem Münzgebindespeicher 28 abgelegt. Aus dem Münzenbindespeicher 28 können die Beutel zur Auszahlung in ein Auszahlfach 30 zur Auszahlung von Münzgebinden transportiert werden. Der Münzgebindespeicher 28 kann Münzgebinde, die nach Anforderung der Bedienperson produziert wurden, direkt zur Auszahlung bringen. Solche auf Anforderung des Bedieners produzierte Münzgebinde werden auch als "on-demand" produzierte Münzgebinde bezeichnet. Alternativ oder zusätzlich wird der Münzgebindespeicher 28 in den Zeiten, in denen das Selbstbedienungssystem 10 nicht von einem Bediener bedient wird (Standby-Zeiten), mit den gängigsten Münzgebinden standortoptimiert vorbefüllt, um diese dann gegebenenfalls ohne Produktionszeit zur Auszahlung zu bringen. Die Münzen, aus denen die Münzgebinde gebildet sind, sind insbesondere Münzen, die zuvor in das Selbstbedienungssystem 10 eingezahlt und in den Münzspeichern 18a bis 18d gespeichert wurden. Werden mehr Münzen in das Selbstbedienungssystem 10 eingezahlt als wieder ausgezahlt werden, so kann der eingezahlte Münzüberschuss in der Transporteinheit 22 von einem Werttransportunternehmen dem Selbstbedienungssystem 10 entnommen werden. Hierzu stehen entweder revisionssichere Kassetten bereit oder die Entsorgung geschieht mit Hilfe von dünnwandigen Transportbehältern, so genannten Safebags.In a payout transaction, a number of coin packs each formed from a plurality of coins are paid out. For this purpose, the number of coins necessary for the formation of the respective coin packs is taken from the respective coin stores 18a to 18d and singulated and transported to a collecting and packing unit 26 for collecting and packing the coins into coin packs. Here the coins are filled in a Münzgebindeverpackung through a filling opening of Münzgebindeverpackung and sealed the filling audit-proof, so that any manipulation can be detected quickly and easily. In particular, bags or sachets are used as coin container packages. The bags are made in particular of plastic. The bags are then stored in a coin store 28. From the coin binder storage 28, the bags can be transported for payment in a Auszahlfach 30 for the disbursement of Münzgebinden. The coin bin 28 can bring coin bundles, which were produced according to the operator's request, directly to the disbursement. Such coin bundles produced at the request of the operator are also referred to as "on-demand" produced coin packages. Alternatively or additionally, the Münzgebindespeicher 28 in the times in which the self-service system 10 is not operated by an operator (standby times), prefilled optimized location optimized with the most common coin packs to bring them then possibly without production time for payment. The coins constituting the denominations are, in particular, coins previously deposited in the self-service system 10 and stored in the coin stores 18a to 18d. If more coins are deposited in the self-service system 10 than are paid out again, the deposited coin surplus in the transport unit 22 can be taken from the self-service system 10 by a value-transporting company. Either audit-proof cassettes are available for this or the disposal takes place with the help of thin-walled transport containers, so-called safebags.

Eine Entleerung der Münzspeicher 18a bis 18d in die Transporteinheit 22 ist ebenfalls möglich. Hierdurch ist eine Leerung des gesamten Münzbestandes durch das Werttransportunternehmen möglich. Da zu erwarten ist, dass die meisten Selbstbedienungssysteme 10 zur Einzahlung und Auszahlung von Münzen einzahlungslastig sind, d. h. das mehr Münzen eingezahlt als ausgezahlt werden, kann durch die Bereitstellung der Münzenrecyclingfunktion das Werttransportunternehmenentsorgungsintervall verlängert werden. Die Einzahlung von Münzen und die Auszahlung von Münzen durch nur einen Automaten wird als Münzrecyclingfunktion bezeichnet. Das Werttransportunternehmenentsorgungsintervall ist der zeitliche Abstand zwischen Entnahmen der Transporteinheit 22 aus dem Selbstbedienungssystem 10.An emptying of the coin store 18a to 18d in the transport unit 22 is also possible. This is a Emptying of the entire coin stock by the Werttransportunternehmen possible. Since most of the self-service systems 10 for depositing and paying out coins are expected to be deposit-heavy, that is, more coins being deposited than being paid out, the provision of the coin recycling function may extend the depot removal interval. The deposit of coins and the payout of coins by a single machine is called a coin recycling function. The value carrier removal interval is the time interval between withdrawals of the transport unit 22 from the self-service system 10.

Vor Beginn der Auszahlungstransaktion wird ein Beutel aus einem Beutelvorrat 32 entnommen und in die Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit 10 transportiert. Die aus den Münzspeichern 18a bis 18d entnommenen Münzen fallen durch die Befüllöffnung des Beutels in einen Aufnahmebereich des Beutels. Anschließend wird der Beutel und somit das Münzgebinde durch Verschweißen revisionssicher verschlossen. Nach diesem Vorgang wird das produzierte Münzgebinde zum Münzgebindezwischenspeicher 28 transportiert. Auf den Beutel sind die Nennfüllwerte bereits aufgedruckt und von außen lesbar. Die mit einem Standarddruck bereits vorbedruckten Beutel werden entsprechend den aufgedruckten Informationen mit den Münzen befüllt. Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in der Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit 26 eine Druckeinheit zum Bedrucken des Beutels mit einem Individualdruck vorgesehen. In beiden Fällen kann der erzeugte Aufdruck die enthaltene Stücklung, den Münzwert und/oder die Anzahl der Münzen aufweisen.Before starting the withdrawal transaction, a bag is removed from a bag stock 32 and transported to the collection and packaging unit 10. The coins removed from the coin stores 18a to 18d fall through the filling opening of the bag into a receiving area of the bag. Subsequently, the bag and thus the Münzgebinde is sealed audit-proof by welding. After this process, the produced coin bundle is transported to the coin container intermediate storage 28. The nominal filling values are already printed on the bag and can be read from the outside. The bags, which have already been pre-printed with a standard print, are filled with the coins in accordance with the printed information. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a printing unit for printing the bag with an individual print is provided in the collecting and packing unit 26. In either case, the print produced may include the contained denomination, the denomination and / or the number of coins.

In Figur 2 ist eine schematische Darstellung eines Beutels 40 zur Aufnahme der Münzen gezeigt. Elemente mit gleichem Aufbau oder gleicher Funktion haben dieselben Bezugszeichen.In FIG. 2 a schematic representation of a bag 40 for receiving the coins is shown. Elements with the same structure or the same function have the same reference numerals.

Der Beutel 40 umfasst eine Vorderseite 42 und eine Rückseite 44. Die Breite der Vorderseite 42 und die Breite der Rückseite 44 sind identisch. Die Rückseite 44 des Beutels ist länger ausgeführt als die Vorderseite 42, d. h. die Rückseite 44 hat eine größere Höhe als die Vorderseite 42. Die Vorderseite 42 und die Rückseite 44 sind an den Kannten 48, 50, 52 fest miteinander verbunden, sodass durch die Vorderseite 42 und eine Zeile der Rückseite 44 ein Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme der Münzen des Münzgebindes ausgebildet wird.The bag 40 includes a front 42 and a back 44. The width of the front 42 and the width of the back 44 are identical. The back 44 of the bag is made longer than the front 42, d. H. the back 44 has a greater height than the front 42. The front 42 and the back 44 are connected to the known 48, 50, 52 firmly together, so through the front 42 and a row of the back 44, a receiving area for receiving the coins of the Münzgebindes is formed.

Die Münzen werden dem Aufnahmebereich des Beutels 40 über eine Befüllöffnung 54 in Richtung des Pfeils P1 zugeführt. Der sich aus den unterschiedlichen Höhen der Rückseite 44 und der Vorderseite 42 ergebenen Überstand wird als Transport- und Haltelasche 46 zum Transport und Halten des Beutels 40 genutzt. Eine auf die Transport- und Haltetasche 46 aufgedruckte Marke 56 dient der Steuerung des Transports des Beutels 40. Der Beutel 40 ist vorzugsweise aus bedruckbarem Kunststoff ausgeführt. Der bedruckbare Bereich 58 ist in Figur 2 durch das gestrichelte Rechteck angedeutet.The coins are fed to the receiving area of the bag 40 via a filling opening 54 in the direction of the arrow P1. The protrusion resulting from the different heights of the rear side 44 and the front side 42 is used as a transport and holding lug 46 for transporting and holding the bag 40. A mark 56 printed on the transport and holding pocket 46 serves to control the transport of the bag 40. The bag 40 is preferably made of printable plastic. The printable area 58 is in FIG. 2 indicated by the dashed rectangle.

Der Beutelvorrat 32 ist insbesondere in Form einer Beutelrolle ausgebildet. Die Beutelrolle umfasst eine Vielzahl von Beuteln 40, welche endlos zu der Beutelrolle ausgerollt sind.The bag supply 32 is designed in particular in the form of a bag roll. The bag roll includes a plurality of bags 40 which are rolled out endlessly to the bag roll.

In Figur 3 ist eine schematische Darstellung einer solchen Beutelrolle gezeigt. Die Beutel 60 bis 64 sind seitlich aneinander als Band gefertigt und endlos auf einer Rolle 66 aufrollbar. Trotz der allgemein üblichen Bezeichnung endlos umfasst die Beutelrolle eine endliche Anzahl an Beuteln 60 bis 64. Mehrere seitlich aneinander gefertigte, ein Band bildende Beutel 60 bis 64 werden auch als Endlosbeutel bezeichnet. Die Herstellung solcher Endlosbeutel kann kostengünstig dadurch erfolgen, das eine Folie von einer Rolle abgerollt, mit ungleicher Schenkellänge übereinander gefaltet und mit nur einer Verschweißzeile rechtwinklig zu der Richtung, in der die Folie von der Rolle 66 abgerollt wird, verschweißt wird. Anschließend erfolgt das Aufdrucken der Marken 68 bis 72 auf die Beutel 60 bis 64. Bei der Herstellung von Beuteln 60 bis 64 mit einem Standardaufdruck wird auch dieser auf die Beutel 60 bis 64 aufgedruckt. Anschließend werden die so produzierten Beutel 60 bis 64 auf der Rolle 66 aufgerollt.In FIG. 3 a schematic representation of such a bag roll is shown. The bags 60 to 64 are made laterally as a band and endlessly rollable on a roller 66. In spite of the general designation endless, the roll of bags comprises a finite number of pouches 60 to 64. A plurality of side-by-side, band-forming pouches 60 to 64 are also referred to as an endless pouch. The production of such endless bags can be carried out inexpensively by unrolling a film from a roll, folding it over one another with unequal side length and welding it with only one welding line perpendicular to the direction in which the film is unrolled from the roll 66. Subsequently, the stamps 68 to 72 are printed on the pouches 60 to 64. In the production of pouches 60 to 64 with a standard printing, this is also printed on the pouches 60 to 64. Subsequently, the thus produced bags 60 to 64 are rolled up on the roll 66.

Zwischen zwei benachbarten Beuteln 60 bis 64 befindet sich jeweils ein Trennbereich 74, 76, in dem ein Trennschnitt zwischen den Beuteln 60 bis 64 gesetzt werden kann. Eine dieser Trennschnitte ist durch die Strichlinie 78 dargestellt und beispielhaft mit dem Bezugszeichen 78 bezeichnet. Die vorgefertigten Beutel 60 bis 64 der Beutelrolle werden anschließend in Transportrichtung P2 von der Rolle 66 abgerollt und der Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit 26 zugeführt. Die befüllten Beutel 60 bis 64 werden nach den Befüllen verschweißt. Die Schweißnaht des Beutels 60 ist durch die Strichpunktlinie 80 dargestellt.Between two adjacent bags 60 to 64 is in each case a separating region 74, 76, in which a separating cut between the bags 60 to 64 can be set. One of these separating cuts is shown by the dashed line 78 and designated by the reference numeral 78 by way of example. The prefabricated bags 60 to 64 of the roll of bags are then unrolled in the transport direction P2 from the roll 66 and fed to the collection and packaging unit 26. The filled bags 60 to 64 are welded after filling. The weld of the bag 60 is shown by the dotted line 80.

Das Einlegen und Einspannen einer neuen Beutelrolle in den Beutelvorrat 32 ist einfach und kann durch einen ungeschulten Operator, insbesondere einem Bankangestellten, durchgeführt werden. Durch den zuvor beschriebenen Herstellungsprozess der Beutel 60 bis 64, insbesondere durch das Trennen zweier benachbarter Beutel 60 bis 64 entlang dem Trennschnitt 78, erfolgt die Herstellung der Beutel 60 bis 64, ohne dass Abfall anfällt.The loading and clamping of a new bag roll into the bag stock 32 is simple and can be performed by an untrained operator, particularly a bank clerk. By the above-described manufacturing process of the bags 60 to 64, in particular by the separation of two adjacent bags 60 to 64 along the separating cut 78, the production of the bags 60 to 64, without waste is obtained.

In Figur 4 ist eine schematische Darstellung des Transports eines Endlosbeutels 90 entlang einer Transportstrecke in Transportrichtung P3 gezeigt. Der Endlosbeutel 90 wird in Betrieb des Selbstbedienungssystems 10 von der Rolle 66 abgerollt und zwischen zwei Zahnriemen eines Riemenpaares 92 entlang eines Transportweges zur Sammel- und Verpackungseineinheit 26 transportiert. Dort werden die Beutel 60 bis 64 des Endlosbeutels 90 geöffnet und mit den Münzen befüllt.In FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of the transport of an endless bag 90 along a transport path in the transport direction P3 shown. The endless bag 90 is unrolled from the roller 66 in operation of the self-service system 10 and transported between two toothed belts of a belt pair 92 along a transport path to the collection and packaging unit 26. There, the bags 60 to 64 of the endless bag 90 are opened and filled with the coins.

Das Riemenpaar 92 wird mit Hilfe einer Vielzahl von Rollen 94a bis 94f geführt und angetrieben. Entsprechend der Anordnung der Rollen 94a bis 94f kann der Transportweg eine beliebige Kontur haben.The belt pair 92 is guided and driven by means of a plurality of rollers 94a to 94f. According to the arrangement of the rollers 94a to 94f, the transport path may have any desired contour.

In Figur 5 sind vier Beutel 100 bis 106 während des Befüllens der Beutel 100 bis 106 mit Münzen 108 gezeigt. Die Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit 26 umfasst eine Blasedüse 110 zum Öffnen der Befüllöffnung 112 des Beutels 102 über die Zuführung eines Luftstroms in den Beutel 102. Ferner umfasst die Sammel- und Verpackungseinheit 26 einen Münzeinfülltrichter 114 zum Zuführen der Münzen 108 durch die Befüllöffnung 112 in den Aufnahmebereich des Beutels 102.In FIG. 5 For example, four bags 100-106 are shown with coins 108 during filling of the bags 100-106. The collection and packaging unit 26 comprises a blast nozzle 110 for opening the filling opening 112 of the bag 102 via the introduction of an air flow into the bag 102. Furthermore, the collecting and packing unit 26 comprises a coin hopper 114 for feeding the coins 108 through the filling opening 112 in the receiving area of the bag 102nd

Der in Transportrichtung P4 vor dem Beutel 102 angeordneten und direkt an diesem Beutel 102 angrenzenden Beutel 104 ist bereits vollständig mit den auszuzahlenden Münzen 116 befüllt. Der Beutel 104 wird in dem Bereich 118 bedruckt und die Füllöffnung 122 des Beutels 104 wird durch Schweißen im Schweißbereich 120 verschlossen. Mit Hilfe eines Trennelements 124 wird der Beutel 104 vom Beutel 102 abgetrennt. Der Beutel 106 ist bereits von den anderen Beuteln 100 bis 104 abgetrennt und durch die Schweißnaht 126 verschweißt.The arranged in the direction of transport P4 in front of the bag 102 and directly adjacent to this bag 102 bag 104 is already completely filled with the coins to be paid out 116. The bag 104 is printed in the area 118 and the filling opening 122 of the bag 104 is closed by welding in the welding area 120. By means of a separating element 124, the bag 104 is separated from the bag 102. The bag 106 is already separated from the other bags 100 to 104 and welded by the weld 126.

Bei dem Befüllen eines Beutels 102 mit Münzen 108 wird in einem ersten Schritt der in das Riemenpaar 92 eingefädelte Endlosbeutel 90 derart verfahren, dass ein noch nicht befüllter Beutel 102 unter dem Münzeinfülltrichter 114 hängt. Diese Position wird auch als Ausgangsposition bezeichnet. In einem zweiten Schritt wird die Befüllöffnung 112 des Beutels 102 mit Hilfe der Blasdüse 110 über die Zufuhr eines Luftstroms in den Beutel 102 geöffnet. Im nächsten Schritt wird der Münzeinfülltrichter 114 in die Befüllöffnung 112 des Beutels 102 abgesenkt. Die Münzen 108 fallen in den Beutel 102. Im nächsten Schritt transportiert der nicht dargestellte Antrieb den Endlosbeutel eine Position weiter, d. h. der nächste leere Beutel 100 befindet sich unterhalb des Münzeinfülltrichters 114, während dessen der gerade befüllte Beutel 102 in die nächste Position transportiert wird. Im nächsten Schritt wird der Beutel 102 verschweißt und anschließend bedruckt. Anschließend wird der Beutel 102 von der Beutelrolle abgeschnitten und in den Münzgebindespeicher 28 transportiert.When filling a bag 102 with coins 108, in a first step, the endless bag 90 threaded into the belt pair 92 is moved in such a way that a still unfilled bag 102 hangs below the coin filling funnel 114. This position is also referred to as the starting position. In a second step, the filling opening 112 of the bag 102 is opened by means of the blowing nozzle 110 via the supply of an air flow into the bag 102. In the next step, the coin hopper 114 is lowered into the filling port 112 of the bag 102. The coins 108 fall into the bag 102. In the next step, the unillustrated drive advances the endless bag one position, ie, the next empty bag 100 is located below the coin hopper 114, during which the bag 102 being filled is transported to the next position. In the next step, the bag 102 is welded and then printed. Subsequently, the bag 102 is cut off from the bag roll and transported into the coin hopper 28.
