Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cash box which comprises a housing and a base pan arranged within the housing.
  • the base trough at least partially delimits a receiving area for accommodating a stack of notes of value, the notes of value of a received stack of notes of value standing with their edges on a base element of the base trough.
  • Known money cassettes have a housing in which a receiving area is provided, in which notes of value are received in the form of a stack of valuables and here stand up with their edges, in particular with their longer edges, on the bottom of the money cassette.
  • a receiving area In the housing of the money box, there is an opening for the mechanical feeding and/or removal of notes of value via separating and/or feeding modules, which can be closed via a shutter.
  • Such known money cassettes usually have a retraction flap that separates the receiving area from the opening. The retraction flap can be adjusted between a pivoted position and a pivoted position, in which case it holds back the notes of value of the stack of notes from the opening in the pivoted position and it is not possible to supply and remove notes of value.
  • the retraction flap is thus arranged in the pivoted position in particular when the shutter is closed and the money cassette is not accommodated in an automated teller machine or other device for handling notes of value.
  • the retreat flap is in arranged in the pivoted position when the cash box is inserted into a device for handling notes of value and the shutter is open so that the notes of value can be removed through the opening.
  • the retraction flap is moved again from the pivoted position to the pivoted position before or during the closing of the shutter, as a result of which the stack of notes of value that has been taken up is moved deeper into the cassette, so that no more notes of value are in the feed and removal area are arranged.
  • the problem here is that the notes of value have to be moved relative to the bottom of the cash box on which they are standing. Depending on the specific structure of the retraction flap, it can happen that notes of value are jammed, notes of value are not withdrawn from the shutter area and/or notes of value are pulled under the stack of notes of value. The result of this is that errors can occur during later removal and/or feeding and, in the worst case, the cash box has to be taken out of service and emptied and refilled manually.
  • Such cash boxes with pivotable retraction flaps are, for example, from the documents DE 10 2010 004 581 A1 , DE 10 2010 004 577 A1 , DE 10 2009 021 320 A1 and DE 602 19 414 T2 known.

  • the base pan is moved relative to the housing in such a way that the end face of the base pan facing the opening for mechanically feeding and/or removing notes of value is at a smaller distance from the opening in the removal position than in the retracted position.
  • the notes of value can be removed from the floor pan in the removal position of the latter and thus from the cash box.
  • the floor pan is arranged further away from the opening, so that the shutter can be closed and no notes of value are located in the closing area.
  • the floor pan is then arranged in the removal position when the shutter is arranged in the open position, and then arranged in the retracted position when the shutter is arranged in the closed position.
  • the shutter and the base pan are coupled to one another in such a way that when the shutter is opened, the base pan is automatically moved from the retracted position to the removal position and/or when the shutter is closed, the base pan is automatically moved from the removal position to the retracted position.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geldkassette, die ein Gehäuse und eine innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnete Bodenwanne umfasst. Die Bodenwanne begrenzt einen Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme eines Wertscheinstapels zumindest teilweise, wobei die Wertscheine eines aufgenommenen Wertscheinstapels mit ihren Kanten auf einem Bodenelement der Bodenwanne stehen.The invention relates to a cash box which comprises a housing and a base pan arranged within the housing. The base trough at least partially delimits a receiving area for accommodating a stack of notes of value, the notes of value of a received stack of notes of value standing with their edges on a base element of the base trough.

Bekannte Geldkassetten weisen ein Gehäuse auf, in dem ein Aufnahmebereich vorgesehen ist, in dem Wertscheine in Form eines Wertsteinstapels aufgenommen sind und hierbei mit ihren Kanten, insbesondere mit ihren längeren Kanten, auf dem Boden der Geldkassette aufstehen. In dem Gehäuse der Geldkassette ist eine Öffnung zum maschinellen Zuführen und/oder Entnehmen von Wertscheinen über Vereinzelungs- und/oder Zuführmodule vorgesehen, die über einen Shutter schließbar ist. Solche bekannten Geldkassetten weisen in der Regel eine Rückzugsklappe auf, die den Aufnahmebereich von der Öffnung trennt. Die Rückzugsklappe ist zwischen einer angeschwenkten und einer abgeschwenkten Position verstellbar, wobei sie in der angeschwenkten Position die Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels von der Öffnung zurückhält und kein Zuführen und Entnehmen von Wertscheinen möglich ist. Somit ist die Rückzugsklappe insbesondere dann in der angeschwenkten Position angeordnet, wenn der Shutter geschlossen und die Geldkassette nicht in einem Geldautomaten oder anderen Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen aufgenommen ist. Umgekehrt ist die Rückzugsklappe in der abgeschwenkten Position angeordnet, wenn die Geldkassette in einer Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen eingesetzt ist und der Shutter geöffnet ist, so dass die Wertscheine durch die Öffnung entnommen werden können.Known money cassettes have a housing in which a receiving area is provided, in which notes of value are received in the form of a stack of valuables and here stand up with their edges, in particular with their longer edges, on the bottom of the money cassette. In the housing of the money box, there is an opening for the mechanical feeding and/or removal of notes of value via separating and/or feeding modules, which can be closed via a shutter. Such known money cassettes usually have a retraction flap that separates the receiving area from the opening. The retraction flap can be adjusted between a pivoted position and a pivoted position, in which case it holds back the notes of value of the stack of notes from the opening in the pivoted position and it is not possible to supply and remove notes of value. The retraction flap is thus arranged in the pivoted position in particular when the shutter is closed and the money cassette is not accommodated in an automated teller machine or other device for handling notes of value. Conversely, the retreat flap is in arranged in the pivoted position when the cash box is inserted into a device for handling notes of value and the shutter is open so that the notes of value can be removed through the opening.

Wird die Geldkassette wieder aus dem Geldautomaten entnommen, so wird vor oder während des Schließens des Shutters die Rückzugsklappe wieder von der abgeschwenkten in die angeschwenkte Position bewegt, wodurch der aufgenommene Wertscheinstapel tiefer in die Kassette hineinbewegt wird, so dass keine Wertscheine mehr in dem Zuführ- und Entnahmebereich angeordnet sind.If the cash cassette is removed from the ATM again, the retraction flap is moved again from the pivoted position to the pivoted position before or during the closing of the shutter, as a result of which the stack of notes of value that has been taken up is moved deeper into the cassette, so that no more notes of value are in the feed and removal area are arranged.

Problematisch hierbei ist, dass die Wertscheine hierbei relativ zu dem Boden der Geldkassette, auf dem sie stehen, bewegt werden müssen. Je nach konkretem Aufbau der Rückzugsklappe kann es dazu kommen, dass Wertscheine eingeklemmt werden, Wertscheine nicht aus dem Shutterbereich zurückgezogen werden und/oder Wertscheine unter den Wertscheinstapel gezogen werden. Dies hat zur Folge, dass es bei der späteren Entnahme und/oder dem Zuführen zu Fehlern kommen kann und die Geldkassette schlimmstenfalls außer Betrieb genommen und manuell entleert und neu befüllt werden muss.The problem here is that the notes of value have to be moved relative to the bottom of the cash box on which they are standing. Depending on the specific structure of the retraction flap, it can happen that notes of value are jammed, notes of value are not withdrawn from the shutter area and/or notes of value are pulled under the stack of notes of value. The result of this is that errors can occur during later removal and/or feeding and, in the worst case, the cash box has to be taken out of service and emptied and refilled manually.

Solche Geldkassetten mit schwenkbaren Rückzugsklappen sind beispielsweise aus den Dokumenten DE 10 2010 004 581 A1 , DE 10 2010 004 577 A1 , DE 10 2009 021 320 A1 und DE 602 19 414 T2 bekannt.Such cash boxes with pivotable retraction flaps are, for example, from the documents DE 10 2010 004 581 A1 , DE 10 2010 004 577 A1 , DE 10 2009 021 320 A1 and DE 602 19 414 T2 known.

Aus dem Dokument DE 36 35 976 T2 ist eine Geldkassette bekannt, bei der der Aufnahmebereich, in dem die Wertscheine aufgenommen sind, durch einen Andruckwagen, ein Rückhalteelement und Abstützelemente begrenzt ist.From the document DE 36 35 976 T2 a cash box is known in which the receiving area in which the notes of value are received is delimited by a pressure carriage, a retaining element and supporting elements.

Aus dem Dokument EP 0 620 942 B1 ist eine Geldkassette bekannt, die eine gefedert gelagerte Bodenwanne aufweist.From the document EP 0 620 942 B1 a cash box is known which has a spring-loaded floor pan.

Das Dokument EP 2 722 827 A1 beschreibt eine Geldkassette mit einer verschwenkbaren Rückzugsklappe.The document EP 2 722 827 A1 describes a cash box with a pivotable retraction flap.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Geldkassette anzugeben, die ein sicheres Zuführen und/oder Entnehmen von Wertscheinen gewährleistet.It is the object of the invention to specify a cash box which ensures that notes of value are reliably supplied and/or removed.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Geldkassette mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a cash box having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Bodenwanne derart ausgebildet und gelagert, dass sie relativ zum Gehäuse der Geldkassette zwischen einer Entnahmeposition und einer Rückzugsposition bewegbar ist.According to the invention, the floor pan is designed and mounted in such a way that it can be moved between a removal position and a retracted position relative to the housing of the cash box.

Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Wertscheine, beispielsweise bei der Entnahme der Geldkassette aus einem Geldautomaten, nicht relativ zu dem Bodenelement, auf dem sie mit ihren Kanten aufstehen, bewegt werden müssen. Hierdurch wiederum wird verhindert, dass die Wertscheine versehentlich unter den Wertscheinstapel gezogen werden können, sich verklemmen oder im Entnahmebereich verbleiben und es somit zu Fehlern kommen kann. Somit wird eine besonders einfache und sichere Bewegung des Wertscheinstapels zwischen derjenigen Position, die er für die Entnahme der Wertscheine einnehmen muss, und derjenigen Position, in der er angeordnet ist, wenn die Geldkassette transportiert wird, erzielt. Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Bodenwanne derart ausgebildet, dass beim Bewegen der Bodenwanne die Position der aufgenommenen Wertscheine relativ zur Bodenwanne unverändert bleibt.This ensures that the notes of value, for example when removing the cash box from an ATM, do not have to be moved relative to the base element on which they rest with their edges. This in turn prevents the notes of value being accidentally pulled under the stack of notes of value, becoming jammed or remaining in the removal area, which could result in errors. Thus, a particularly simple and secure movement of the stack of notes between the position it must occupy for the withdrawal of the notes and the position in which it is placed when the cash box is being transported. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the base pan is designed in such a way that when the base pan is moved, the position of the received notes of value relative to the base pan remains unchanged.

Die Bodenwanne ist gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung relativ zum Gehäuse linear verfahrbar an dem Gehäuse gelagert. Hierdurch wird ein einfaches Bewegen der Bodenwanne erreicht.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the floor pan is mounted on the housing so that it can be moved linearly relative to the housing. This makes it easy to move the floor pan.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine Verstelleinheit vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe die Bodenwanne relativ zum Gehäuse zwischen der Rückzugsposition und der Entnahmeposition bewegt werden kann. Diese Verstelleinheit kann beispielsweise in Form einer Antriebseinheit ausgebildet sein. Die Bodenwanne ist insbesondere über Schienen an dem Gehäuse gelagert, so dass ein einfaches Verschieben möglich ist.According to the invention, an adjustment unit is provided, with the help of which the floor pan can be moved relative to the housing between the retracted position and the removal position. This adjustment unit can be designed, for example, in the form of a drive unit. The floor pan is mounted on the housing, in particular via rails, so that it can be moved easily.

Die Geldkassette weist gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung eine Öffnung zum maschinellen Zuführen und/oder Entnehmen von Wertscheinen auf. Zusätzlich zu dieser Öffnung kann die Geldkassette auch eine weitere Öffnung aufweisen, durch die die Wertscheine manuell zugeführt und/oder entnommen werden können. Diese Öffnung ist insbesondere über einen Deckel verschließbar.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the cash box has an opening for mechanically feeding in and/or removing notes of value. In addition to this opening, the cash box also have a further opening through which the notes of value can be fed in and/or removed manually. This opening can be closed in particular via a cover.

Die Öffnung zum maschinellen Zuführen und/oder Entnehmen von Wertscheinen ist insbesondere über einen Shutter verschließbar, wobei dieser Shutter zwischen einer geöffneten und einer verschlossenen Position bewegt werden kann.The opening for mechanically feeding and/or removing notes of value can be closed in particular via a shutter, with this shutter being able to be moved between an open and a closed position.

Die Bodenwanne wird gemäß der Erfindung derart relativ zum Gehäuse bewegt, dass eine der Öffnung zum maschinellen Zuführen und/oder Entnehmen von Wertscheinen zugewandte Stirnseite der Bodenwanne in der Entnahmeposition einen geringeren Abstand zur Öffnung als in der Rückzugsposition hat. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Wertscheine in der Entnahmeposition der Bodenwanne aus dieser und somit aus der Geldkassette entnommen werden können. In der Rückzugsposition dagegen ist die Bodenwanne weiter von der Öffnung weg angeordnet, so dass der Shutter geschlossen werden kann und hierbei keine Wertscheine sich in dem Schließbereich befinden.According to the invention, the base pan is moved relative to the housing in such a way that the end face of the base pan facing the opening for mechanically feeding and/or removing notes of value is at a smaller distance from the opening in the removal position than in the retracted position. The result of this is that the notes of value can be removed from the floor pan in the removal position of the latter and thus from the cash box. In the retracted position, on the other hand, the floor pan is arranged further away from the opening, so that the shutter can be closed and no notes of value are located in the closing area.

Die Bodenwanne ist gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung dann in der Entnahmeposition angeordnet, wenn der Shutter in der geöffneten Position angeordnet ist, und dann in der Rückzugsposition angeordnet, wenn der Shutter in der geschlossenen Position angeordnet ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the floor pan is then arranged in the removal position when the shutter is arranged in the open position, and then arranged in the retracted position when the shutter is arranged in the closed position.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind der Shutter und die Bodenwanne derart miteinander gekoppelt, dass beim Öffnen des Shutters die Bodenwanne automatisch von der Rückzugsposition in die Entnahmeposition und/oder beim Schließen des Shutters die Bodenwanne automatisch von der Entnahmeposition in die Rückzugsposition bewegt wird. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass das Bewegen der Bodenwanne beim Öffnen und Schließen des Shutters automatisch erfolgt und somit nicht vergessen werden kann. Darüber hinaus ist es nicht notwendig, eine eigene Antriebseinheit zum Bewegen der Bodenwanne oder einen eigenen Mechanismus zum Bewegen der Bodenwanne vorzusehen, da der Shutter in der Regel derart ausgebildet ist, dass er beim Einführen der Geldkassette in eine Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen automatisch über eine Eingriff mit einem hierfür vorgesehenen Eingriffselement geöffnet und umgekehrt beim Entnehmen der Geldkassette über diesen Eingriff wieder verschlossen wird.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the shutter and the base pan are coupled to one another in such a way that when the shutter is opened, the base pan is automatically moved from the retracted position to the removal position and/or when the shutter is closed, the base pan is automatically moved from the removal position to the retracted position. This ensures that the floor pan moves automatically when the shutter is opened and closed, so it cannot be forgotten. In addition, it is not necessary to provide a separate drive unit for moving the base pan or a separate mechanism for moving the base pan, since the shutter is usually designed in such a way that when the cash cassette is inserted into a device for handling notes of value, it automatically has a Engagement is opened with an engagement element provided for this purpose and, conversely, is closed again when the cash cassette is removed via this engagement.

Das Bodenelement der Bodenwanne ist vorzugsweise plattenförmig ausgebildet, so dass die Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels über eine möglichst große Fläche auf ihm aufstehen können. Insbesondere wird somit ein Verkanten der Wertscheine an der Bodenwanne vermieden.The floor element of the floor pan is preferably designed in the form of a plate, so that the notes of value of the stack of notes can rest on it over as large an area as possible. In particular, tilting of the notes of value on the floor pan is thus avoided.

Gemäß der Erfindung weist die Bodenwanne an ihrer Seite, die der Öffnung der Geldkassette zum maschinellen Zuführen und/oder Entnehmen von Wertscheinen zugewandt ist, eine Stirnwand auf, die den Aufnahmebereich in Richtung der Öffnung begrenzt. Durch diese Stirnwand wird erreicht, dass auf eine Rückzugsklappe, gegen die die Wertscheine bei bekannten Geldkassetten gedrückt werden, verzichtet werden kann.According to the invention, the bottom trough has on its side the opening of the money box for mechanically feeding in and/or removing notes of value facing, an end wall which delimits the receiving area in the direction of the opening. This end wall makes it possible to dispense with a retraction flap against which the notes of value are pressed in known money cassettes.

Die Stirnwand ist relativ zum Bodenelement der Bodenwanne ortsfest angeordnet, d.h., dass die Position dieser beiden Elemente zueinander nicht verändert wird. Somit werden auch die Wertscheine beim Bewegen der Bodenwanne zwischen der Entnahme- und der Rückzugsposition bewegt, ohne dass sie sich relativ zum Bodenelement der Bodenwanne, auf dem sie aufstehen, bewegen müssen.The end wall is arranged in a fixed position relative to the floor element of the floor pan, i.e. the position of these two elements in relation to one another is not changed. The notes of value are thus also moved between the removal and retracted positions when the floor pan is moved, without having to move relative to the floor element of the floor pan on which they stand.

Die Stirnwand und das Bodenelement sind gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung in einem Winkel von 90° zueinander angeordnet, so dass ein sicheres Aufnehmen der Wertscheine ohne ein Klemmen möglich ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the end wall and the base element are arranged at an angle of 90° to one another, so that the notes of value can be securely picked up without jamming.

Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung, wenn die Geldkassette eine Andruckeinheit umfasst, die den Wertscheinstapel gegen die Stirnwand drückt, so dass dieser immer unter einem notwendigen Mindestdruck gehalten ist und ein Umkippen der Wertscheine vermieden wird. Die Andruckeinheit kann insbesondere über ein elastisches Element mit der Stirnwand verbunden sein, über das die Andruckeinheit in Richtung der Stirnwand vorgespannt ist. Alternativ kann auch jede andere Art von aus Geldkassetten bekannten Andruckeinheiten verwendet werden.It is also advantageous, according to a further embodiment of the invention, if the cash box includes a pressure unit that presses the stack of notes against the front wall so that it is always kept under the necessary minimum pressure and the notes of value are prevented from tipping over. The pressure unit can in particular be connected to the front wall via an elastic element, via which the pressure unit is pretensioned in the direction of the front wall. Alternatively, any other type of pressure units known from money cassettes can also be used.

Die Andruckeinheit drückt hierbei den Wertscheinstapel insbesondere derart gegen die Stirnwand, dass der an der Stirnseite des Wertscheinstapels angeordnete Wertschein mit seiner Vorder- oder Rückseite die Stirnwand, vorzugsweise vollständig, kontaktiert. Somit wird ein sicheres Andrücken des Wertscheinstapels erreicht.The pressure unit presses the stack of notes against the end wall in particular in such a way that the note of value arranged on the end of the stack of notes contacts the end wall with its front or back, preferably completely. A secure pressing of the stack of notes is thus achieved.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist dieIn a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the

Bodenwanne zusätzlich zwei Seitenwände zur seitlichen Begrenzung des Aufnahmebereiches auf, die den Aufnahmebereich in Richtung der Seitenwände des Geldkassettengehäuses zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise vollständig, begrenzen. Durch diese Seitenwände wird die Stabilität der Bodenwanne zusätzlich erhöht. Insbesondere wird über die gesamte einstückige Ausbildung der Bodenwanne aus dem Bodenelement, der Stirnwand und/oder den Seitenwänden ein besonders stabiler, einfach herzustellender und kostengünstiger Aufbau erreicht. Ferner wird durch die Seitenwände der Vorteil erreicht, dass die Wertscheine, insbesondere beim Einschieben und Herausziehen, nicht seitlich verrutschen können. Hierdurch werden schiefe Abzüge von Wertscheinen bei der Entnahme der Wertscheine vermieden.Floor pan also has two side walls for laterally delimiting the receiving area, which at least partially, preferably completely, delimit the receiving area in the direction of the side walls of the cash cassette housing. These side walls also increase the stability of the floor pan. In particular, a particularly stable, easy-to-manufacture and cost-effective structure is achieved over the entire one-piece design of the floor pan from the floor element, the end wall and/or the side walls. Furthermore, the side walls achieve the advantage that the notes of value cannot slip sideways, in particular when being pushed in and pulled out. As a result, crooked deductions from notes of value when removing the notes of value are avoided.

Die Seitenwände sind insbesondere sowohl orthogonal zum Bodenelement als auch orthogonal zur Stirnwand angeordnet, so dass vorzugsweise durch die Stirnwand die Seitenwände, das Bodenelement und die Andruckeinheit ein quaderförmiger Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme des Wertscheinstapels begrenzt ist.The side walls are in particular arranged orthogonally to the base element as well as orthogonally to the front wall, so that the side walls, the base element and the pressure unit preferably form a cuboid receiving area through the front wall for receiving the stack of notes is limited.

Die Stirnwand weist gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung mindestens eine Aussparung zum Hindurchgreifen eines Abzugselements eines Vereinzelungsmoduls auf. Wenn die Geldkassette in eine Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen, beispielsweise einen Geldautomaten, ein automatisches Kassensystem und/oder eine automatische Tresorkasse, eingesetzt wird, so wird der Shutter beim Einführen geöffnet. Die Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen weist ein Vereinzelungsmodul auf, über das die in der Geldkassette aufgenommenen Wertscheine aus dem Aufnahmebereich entnommen werden können. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass nicht jede Geldkassette eine eigene Vereinzelungsmechanik benötigt, sondern diese nur in den Geldautomaten vorgesehen sein muss. Das Vereinzelungsmodul weist Abzugselemente auf, die die Wertscheine durch die entsprechende Aussparung der Stirnwand der Bodenwanne hindurch kontaktieren, wenn die Bodenwanne in der Entnahmeposition angeordnet ist. Bei diesen Abzugselementen kann es sich insbesondere um Rollen handeln, die bei einer Rotation die Wertscheine in eine vorbestimmte Richtung, insbesondere nach unten, aus der Bodenwanne heraus und somit auch aus der Geldkassette hinaus bewegen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the end wall has at least one recess for a pull-off element of a separating module to reach through. If the money cassette is inserted into a device for handling notes of value, for example an automated teller machine, an automatic cash register system and/or an automatic cash register, the shutter is opened when it is inserted. The device for handling notes of value has a separating module, via which the notes of value received in the cash box can be removed from the receiving area. This has the advantage that not every cash box requires its own separating mechanism, but this only has to be provided in the ATMs. The separating module has extraction elements that contact the notes of value through the corresponding recess in the end wall of the base pan when the base pan is arranged in the removal position. These pull-off elements can, in particular, be rollers which, when rotating, move the notes of value in a predetermined direction, in particular downwards, out of the base pan and thus also out of the cash box.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist die Stirnwand mehr als eine Aussparung, insbesondere drei Aussparungen, auf, durch die jeweils ein Vereinzelungselement, vorzugsweise jeweils eine Rolle, hindurchgreifen kann. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass der an der Stirnseite des aufgenommenen Wertscheinstapels angeordnete Wertschein über seine gesamte Breite gleichmäßig kontaktiert wird und somit sicher entnommen werden kann.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the end wall has more than one cutout, in particular three cutouts, through which a separating element, preferably a roller, can reach in each case. This ensures that the at the Front side of the recorded value note stack arranged value note is contacted evenly over its entire width and can thus be safely removed.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist zwischen dem Bodenelement und der Stirnwand der Bodenwanne ein Schlitz vorgesehen, , durch den die Wertscheine nach unten hin aus der Geldkassette abgezogen werden können. Insbesondere werden die Wertscheine durch eine entsprechende Rotation der Vereinzelungselemente durch diese Öffnung hindurch bewegt und über weitere Transportelemente dann von der Geldkassette weg transportiert.According to the invention, a slot is provided between the floor element and the end wall of the floor pan, through which the notes of value can be withdrawn downwards from the cash box. In particular, the notes of value are moved through this opening by a corresponding rotation of the separating elements and then transported away from the money cassette via further transport elements.

Die Andruckeinheit ist gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung derart ausgebildet, dass sie den Wertscheinstapel so stark gegen die Stirnwand drückt, dass die Wertscheine nicht von alleine durch die Öffnung hindurchrutschen können, sondern nur dann durch die Öffnung zwischen der Stirnwand und dem Bodenelement hindurchtransportiert werden, wenn sie durch die Abzugselemente der Vereinzelungseinheit hierzu gezwungen werden. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Wertscheine nicht von alleine aus dem Aufnahmebereich hinausrutschen können, sondern dies nur dann geschieht, wenn auch eine Entnahme gewollt ist und maschinell durchgeführt wird. Gemäß einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann auch ein Verschlusselement vorgesehen sein, das die Öffnung zwischen der Stirnwand und dem Bodenelement zumindest dann, wenn die Bodenwanne nicht in der Entnahmeposition angeordnet ist, verschließt, so dass ein Hindurchrutschen von Wertscheinen durch die Öffnung vermieden wird.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the pressure unit is designed in such a way that it presses the stack of notes against the end wall so strongly that the notes of value cannot slide through the opening on their own, but are only transported through the opening between the end wall and the floor element if they are forced to do so by the extraction elements of the separation unit. The result of this is that the notes of value cannot slip out of the receiving area on their own, but this only happens if removal is also desired and is carried out by machine. According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, a closure element can also be provided which closes the opening between the end wall and the floor element at least when the floor pan is not arranged in the removal position, see above that slipping of notes of value through the opening is avoided.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung, die die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen in Zusammenhang mit den beigefügten Figuren näher erläutert.Further features and advantages of the invention result from the following description, which explains the invention in more detail using exemplary embodiments in connection with the attached figures.

In Figur 1 ist eine schematische, perspektivische, stark vereinfachte Darstellung einer Geldkassette 10 dargestellt. Die Geldkassette 10 wird zum Transport von Wertscheinen zwischen Cash-Centern, Geldautomaten, automatischen Kassensystemen und anderen Vorrichtungen zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen verwendet.In figure 1 a schematic, perspective, greatly simplified representation of a cash box 10 is shown. The cash box 10 is used to transport notes of value between cash centers, automated teller machines, automatic cash register systems and other devices for handling notes of value.

Die Geldkassette 10 weist ein Gehäuse 12 auf, von dem in Figur 1 ein Deckel nicht dargestellt ist, damit die innenliegenden Bauteile der Geldkassette 10 besser sichtbar sind. In dem Gehäuse 12 ist eine Öffnung 14 vorgesehen, durch die die Wertscheine maschinell zugeführt und/oder entnommen werden können. Wird die Geldkassette 10 in einen Geldautomaten eingesetzt, können über die Öffnung 14 mit Hilfe eines Vereinzelungsmoduls des Geldautomaten Wertscheine aus dem Inneren der Geldkassette 10 abgezogen werden.The cash box 10 has a housing 12 from which figure 1 a cover is not shown so that the internal components of the cash box 10 are better visible. An opening 14 is provided in the housing 12 through which the notes of value can be fed in and/or removed by machine. If the money box 10 is inserted into an automated teller machine, notes of value can be withdrawn from the interior of the money box 10 via the opening 14 with the aid of a separating module of the automated teller machine.

Während des Transportes, d.h. wenn die Geldkassette 10 nicht in einem Geldautomaten oder anderen Vorrichtungen zur Entnahme von Wertscheinen eingesetzt ist, ist die Öffnung 14 über eine nicht dargestellte Verschlusseinheit, einen sogenannten Shutter, verschlossen. Beim Einführen in einen Geldautomaten greift ein Eingriffselement des Einschubfachs in eine Aussparung des Shutters und bewegt diesen somit automatisch von einer geschlossenen in eine geöffnete Position. Umgekehrt wird der Shutter beim Entnehmen der Geldkassette 10 automatisch wieder verschlossen.During transport, ie when the cash box 10 is not used in an ATM or other device for removing notes of value, the opening 14 is closed via a locking unit, a so-called shutter, which is not shown. When inserted into an ATM, an engagement element of the slot engages in a recess in the shutter and thus moves it automatically from a closed to an open position. Conversely, the shutter is automatically closed again when the cash cassette 10 is removed.

Zum Entnehmen der Wertscheine müssen diese in unmittelbarer Nähe zu der Öffnung 14 angeordnet sein, damit diese von dem Vereinzelungsmodul erfasst und entnommen werden können. Damit der Shutter jedoch ungehindert geschlossen werden kann, keine Wertscheine eingeklemmt werden können und beim Öffnen des Shutters keine Wertscheine hinausfallen können, müssen die Wertscheine während des Transportes in einer Rückzugsposition angeordnet sein, in der sie einen vorbestimmten Abstand zu der Öffnung 14 haben.To remove the notes of value, they must be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the opening 14 so that they can be picked up and removed by the singulation module. However, so that the shutter can be closed unhindered, no notes of value can be jammed and no notes of value can fall out when the shutter is opened, the notes of value must be arranged in a retracted position during transport, in which they have a predetermined distance from the opening 14 .

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch eine im Folgenden noch näher beschriebene bewegliche Bodenwanne 16 gelöst, die relativ zum Gehäuse 12 der Geldkassette 10 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles P1 zwischen der Entnahme- und der Rückzugsposition bewegbar ist. In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist jeweils eine schematische, perspektivische Darstellung dieser Bodenwanne und einer Andruckeinheit 18 der Geldkassette 10 gezeigt.According to the invention, this is achieved by a movable floor pan 16, described in more detail below, which can be moved relative to the housing 12 of the cash box 10 in the direction of the double arrow P1 between the removal and retracted positions. In the figures 2 and 3 a schematic, perspective view of this floor pan and a pressure unit 18 of the cash cassette 10 is shown in each case.

Die Bodenwanne 16 weist ein Bodenelement 20 auf, auf dem die Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels 22 mit ihren Kanten aufstehen. Ferner hat die Bodenwanne 16 eine Stirnwand 23, gegen die der Wertscheinstapel 22 mit Hilfe der Andruckeinheit 18 gedrückt wird. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Wertscheine immer unter einen notwendigen Druck stehen und somit ein Umkippen der Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels 22 vermieden wird.The base pan 16 has a base element 20 on which the notes of value of the stack of notes 22 stand up with their edges. Furthermore, the base pan 16 has an end wall 23 against which the stack of notes 22 is pressed with the aid of the pressure unit 18 . This ensures that the notes of value are always under the necessary pressure and thus tipping over of the notes of value of the stack of notes 22 is avoided.

Die Andruckeinheit 18 kann insbesondere über ein elastisches Element in Richtung der Stirnwand 23 vorgespannt sein, so dass sie sich je nach Füllstand der Geldkassette 10, also je nach dem wie viele Wertscheine der Wertscheinstapel 22 umfasst, immer mit dem Wertscheinstapel 22 mitbewegt und diesen zuverlässig gegen die Stirnwand 23 drückt.The pressure unit 18 can be prestressed in the direction of the end wall 23, in particular by means of an elastic element, so that it always moves with the stack of notes 22 and reliably counteracts it, depending on the fill level of the cash box 10, i.e. depending on how many notes of value are in the stack of notes 22 the front wall 23 presses.

Ferner umfasst die Bodenwanne 16 zwei Seitenwände 24, 26, durch die der Aufnahmebereich 28, innerhalb dessen der Wertscheinstapel 22 aufgenommen ist, seitlich zumindest teilweise begrenzt wird. Die Seitenwände 24, 26 sind insbesondere orthogonal zur Stirnwand 23 und ebenso orthogonal zum Bodenelement 20 angeordnet. Auch die Stirnwand 23 und das Bodenelement 20 sind vorzugsweise orthogonal zueinander.Furthermore, the floor pan 16 comprises two side walls 24, 26, through which the receiving area 28, within which the stack of notes 22 is received, is laterally at least partially delimited. The side walls 24 , 26 are in particular arranged orthogonally to the end wall 23 and also orthogonally to the base element 20 . The end wall 23 and the base element 20 are preferably orthogonal to one another.

Zwischen der Stirnwand 23 und dem Bodenelement 20 ist ein Schlitz 30 vorgesehen, durch den die zu entnehmenden Wertscheine des Wertscheinstapels 22 einzeln aus dem Aufnahmebereich 28 entnommen werden können. Die Andruckeinheit 18 ist hierbei derart ausgebildet, dass sie den Wertscheinstapel 22 so stark gegen die Stirnwand 23 drückt, dass die an der Stirnseite des Wertscheinstapels 22 angeordneten Wertscheine nicht selbständig durch den Schlitz 30 hindurchrutschen. Die Wertscheine können nur mit Hilfe eines Vereinzelungsmoduls abgezogen werden. Hierzu sind in der Stirnwand drei Aussparungen 32 bis 36 vorgesehen, durch die, wie in Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 4 und 5 noch näher beschrieben, Abzugselemente 40 des Vereinzelungsmoduls hindurchgreifen und somit den an der Stirnseite des Wertscheinstapels 22 angeordneten Wertschein kontaktieren können. Durch eine entsprechende Kraftübertragung wird dieser Wertschein durch den Schlitz 30 entnommen und kann somit in der Vorrichtung zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen, in die die Geldkassette 10 eingesetzt ist, weiter verarbeitet werden.A slot 30 is provided between the end wall 23 and the base element 20 , through which the notes of value to be removed from the stack of notes of value 22 can be individually removed from the receiving area 28 . The pressure unit 18 is designed in such a way that it presses the stack of notes 22 against the end wall 23 so strongly that the notes of value arranged on the end of the stack of notes 22 do not slip through the slot 30 of their own accord. The notes of value can only be withdrawn with the help of a separation module. For this purpose are in the front wall three recesses 32 to 36 are provided, through which, as in connection with the figures 4 and 5 described in more detail, pull-off elements 40 of the separation module reach through and can thus contact the value note arranged on the end face of the value note stack 22 . This note of value is removed through the slot 30 by a corresponding transmission of force and can thus be further processed in the device for handling notes of value into which the money cassette 10 is inserted.

Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung können auch mehr oder weniger als drei Aussparungen 32 bis 36, beispielsweise nur zwei Aussparungen 32 bis 36 oder vier Aussparungen 32 bis 36, vorgesehen sein. Ebenso ist es alternativ möglich, dass die Geldkassette 10 ein Verschlusselement umfasst, mit dessen Hilfe der Schlitz 30 zumindest dann, wenn die Bodenwanne 16 in der Rückzugsposition angeordnet ist, verschließbar ist.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, more or fewer than three cutouts 32 to 36, for example only two cutouts 32 to 36 or four cutouts 32 to 36, can be provided. Alternatively, it is also possible for the cash box 10 to comprise a closure element, with the aid of which the slot 30 can be closed at least when the floor pan 16 is arranged in the retracted position.

In den Figuren 4 und 5 ist jeweils eine Schnittdarstellung der Geldkassette 10 gezeigt, wobei in Figur 4 die Rückzugsposition der Bodenwanne 16 und in Figur 5 die Entnahmeposition dargestellt ist.In the figures 4 and 5 a sectional view of the cash cassette 10 is shown in each case, with FIG figure 4 the retracted position of the floor pan 16 and in figure 5 the removal position is shown.

In den Figuren 4 und 5 sind ferner jeweils die Abzugselemente 40 eines Vereinzelungsmoduls dargestellt, die in diesem Fall in Form von Rollen ausgebildet sind, die in Richtung des Pfeiles P2 zum Abzug der Wertscheine drehbar sind. In der in Figur 4 gezeigten Rückzugsposition hat die Bodenwanne 16, und somit auch der darin aufgenommene Wertscheinstapel 22, einen vorbestimmten Abstand A zur Stirnseite 44 der Geldkassette 10 und somit zur Öffnung 14 der Geldkassette 10.In the figures 4 and 5 also shows the withdrawal elements 40 of a separating module, which in this case are in the form of rollers that can be rotated in the direction of arrow P2 to withdraw the notes of value. in the in figure 4 In the retracted position shown, the floor pan 16, and thus also the stack of notes 22 received therein, is at a predetermined distance A from the end face 44 of the cash cassette 10 and thus from the opening 14 of the cash cassette 10.

Mit Hilfe einer rein schematisch angedeuteten Verstelleinheit 46 der Geldkassette 10 kann die Bodenwanne 16 aus der Rückzugsposition in eine in Figur 5 gezeigte Entnahmeposition bewegt werden, bei der sie einen wesentlich geringeren Abstand zur Stirnseite 44 der Geldkassette 10 und somit zur Öffnung 14 hat.With the aid of an adjustment unit 46 of the cash cassette 10, indicated purely schematically, the floor pan 16 can be moved from the retracted position to an in figure 5 shown removal position are moved, in which it has a much smaller distance to the end face 44 of the cash box 10 and thus to the opening 14.

Diese Verstelleinheit 46 kann beispielsweise in Form eines Motors ausgebildet sein. Alternativ kann die Verstellung auch durch eine passive Verstelleinheit erfolgen, beispielsweise indem eine Kopplung mit dem Shutter besteht, so dass beim Öffnen des Shutters die Bodenwanne 16 automatisch von der Rückzugsposition in die Entnahmeposition bewegt wird. Umgekehrt wird die Bodenwanne 16 beim Schließen des Shutters automatisch von der Entnahme- in die Rückzugsposition bewegt.This adjustment unit 46 can be designed, for example, in the form of a motor. Alternatively, the adjustment can also be made by a passive adjustment unit, for example by being coupled to the shutter, so that when the shutter is opened, the floor pan 16 is automatically moved from the retracted position to the removal position. Conversely, the floor pan 16 is automatically moved from the removal to the retracted position when the shutter is closed.

Bei der in Figur 5 gezeigten Entnahmeposition ist die Bodenwanne derart angeordnet, dass die Abzugselemente 40 durch die Aussparungen 32 bis 36 hindurchgreifen können und somit den an der Stirnseite des Wertscheinstapels 22 angeordneten Wertschein kontaktieren und durch den Schlitz 30 abziehen können.At the in figure 5 In the removal position shown, the base pan is arranged in such a way that the pull-off elements 40 can reach through the recesses 32 to 36 and thus the ones arranged on the front side of the stack of notes 22 Contact note and can withdraw through the slot 30.

Das Vorsehen einer solchen Bodenwanne 16 hat, verglichen mit bekannten Rückzugsklappen, den Vorteil, dass beim Bewegen des Wertscheinstapels 22 zwischen der Entnahme- und der Rückzugsposition der Wertscheinstapel 22 selbst nicht relativ zu dem Boden 20, auf dem er aufsteht, bewegt werden muss. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Wertscheine beim Bewegen nicht unter den Wertscheinstapel 22 gezogen werden und/oder sich verhaken können. Hierdurch wird eine besonders sichere Funktion erreicht und das Auftreten von Fehlern vermieden.The provision of such a base trough 16 has the advantage, compared to known retraction flaps, that when the value note stack 22 is moved between the removal and the retracted position, the value note stack 22 itself does not have to be moved relative to the floor 20 on which it is standing. This has the advantage that the notes of value cannot be pulled under the stack of notes of value 22 and/or get caught when moving. As a result, a particularly reliable function is achieved and the occurrence of errors is avoided.
