Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for testing Sheets such as B. banknotes.
  • Such a device is from DE-PS 32 42 789 known. It has several sensors, each of which is made up of there are two components. The two components are on opposite sides of a transport route arranged, which transports the sheet material through the sensors. The components of the sensors on one side the transport route are grouped together and attached to a separate mounting plate.
  • the mounting plate rotatably mounted and can be moved from the level of the base plate be unscrewed. This rotation turns the through the component of a sensor and the transport route formed gap opened and that of the transport route facing front of the sensor components as well as the Transport route itself exposed. The elimination a banknote jam or cleaning the front the sensor components is thus possible in a simple manner.
  • a disadvantage of the device is that the sensors for effective use of a mounting plate be arranged on one axis and parallel to each other have to. This leads to a larger number of sensors to an elongated device with large Space requirements. Furthermore, the housing of each Sensor components should be of the same type as possible. At Housings of different sizes must have the mounting plate each be adapted to the largest housing, which in turn requires a relatively large amount of space. To the Sensor components against removal by unauthorized persons secure, they must each have an alarm loop be provided.
  • the object of the invention is propose a device for testing sheet material, where the through the sensor components and the gap formed by the transport route can be opened can and at the same time a space-saving arrangement of the Sensors and a fuse of the sensor components guaranteed against removal by unauthorized persons becomes.
  • the basic idea of the invention is essentially in it, which consist of one or more components Sensors as separate units on one and / or both sides to the transport route on the front of the Attach the base plate.
  • the first are used for fastening Fasteners from the back of the base plate can be operated and removed when removed allow the sensor.
  • these sensor components have second Fasteners on the front of the Base plate are operable and in the released state just a movement of the sensor component relative to Allow transport system. Removing the sensor is in the released state of the second fastener not possible.
  • An advantage of the device is that due to the mounting of the sensors as separate units the base plate does not specify the position of the sensors to each other, still for the design of the sensor housing consists.
  • the sensors can thus on the base plate be arranged as space-saving as possible.
  • the immobile Components of the sensors for example Screws fixed only from the back of the Base plate can be solved.
  • the movable sensor components are the first Fastening a locking lever that is about an axis is rotatable.
  • the locking lever is replaced by a corresponding one Gap inserted in the base plate and so around the axis rotated so that it is essentially in one direction is perpendicular to the gap.
  • the locking lever is pushed towards the base plate, so that the movable sensor component is held securely becomes.
  • the second fastener of the movable sensor component consists essentially of a seesaw that be determined or released by means of a closure can.
  • the rocker is between the locking lever of the first fastener and the back of the base plate arranged.
  • rocker If the rocker is by means of the front of the Base plate accessible lock released, arises a gap between the rocker and the locking lever and the sensor can be in the direction of the gap on the base plate be moved.
  • the electrical connections of the movable sensor component can be arranged that when moving the moving sensor component remain.
  • Fig. 1 shows the schematic diagram of an inventive Contraption. It shows a sensor that consists of a movable sensor component 10 and a fixed sensor component 20 exists.
  • the sensor components 10 and 20 are on opposite sides of a transport system 50 arranged, which for transporting the test item Leaf crop serves.
  • the sensor is on the front V a base plate 30 attached.
  • the base plate 30 is Part of a closed housing 35 and arranged so that the back R of the base plate 30 into the interior I of the closed housing 35 points.
  • the fixed sensor component 20 has a rear wall 21 with an adjustment pin 22. This is in a corresponding Groove of the base plate 30 inserted so that a correct adjustment of the fixed sensor component 20 is guaranteed.
  • the first fastener for the solid sensor component 20 can be, for example Screw 23 used from the back through the base plate 30 into the rear wall 21 of the sensor is screwed. This measure ensures that only the people are able to do the fixed To remove sensor component 20 from base plate 30, the access to the rear R of the base plate 30 or Have interior I of the housing 35.
  • the movable sensor component 10 also has one Rear wall 11 with an adjusting pin 12.
  • the adjusting pin 12 is in a corresponding groove of the base plate 30 introduced so that a correct adjustment of the movable sensor component 10 is guaranteed.
  • Gap between the movable sensor component 10 and the transport system 50 is in this position with "closed gap" called.
  • the movable sensor component 10 has an axis 14 on, which is connected to the rear wall 11.
  • the axis 14 passes through a gap 34 of the base plate 30 and protrudes beyond the back R of the base plate 30.
  • a locking lever 13 At the free end of the axis 14 is a locking lever 13 rotatably mounted.
  • the closing lever 13 For fastening the movable sensor component 10 the closing lever 13 in a locking position brought, which is substantially perpendicular to the gap 34th runs.
  • the locking lever 13 is by means of a suspension pressed towards the base plate 30 so that the movable sensor component 10 when closed Locking lever 13 sits firmly on the base plate 30.
  • the locking lever 13 To remove the movable sensor component 10 the locking lever 13 from the rear R of the base plate 30 in an opening position substantially parallel to Gap 34 rotated.
  • the shape of the locking lever 13 is so chosen that this in the open position by the Gap 34 guided and thus the movable sensor component 10 can be removed.
  • a removal of the movable sensor component 10 from the base plate 30 is therefore only possible if access to the rear R the base plate 30 is guaranteed.
  • a provided second fastener which consists of a Rocker 40 and a closure 42 is made.
  • the closure 42 can be operated from the front V of the base plate 30 and fixes the seesaw when closed 40. In the open state, the rocker 40 is movable.
  • the rocker 40 is between the locking lever 13 of the first Fasteners and the back R of the base plate 30 arranged so that it is the base for the locking lever 13 forms. Is the shutter 42 closed and thus the rocker 40 locked, pushes it against the Locking lever 13 so that the movable sensor component 10 is fixed in position. With the shutter open 42, the rocker 40 is movable and the pressure disappears against the locking lever 13. The moveable Sensor component 10 is now loosened and can be moved along of the gap 34 are moved up and down. A removal the movable sensor component 10 is not possible since the locking lever 13 in its closed Position does not lead through the gap 34.
  • the base plate 30 shows the base plate 30 with an example Arrangement of sensors 1 - 8 on the transport route 50.
  • a suitable arrangement of the sensors 1 - 8 on the transport route 50 can take up space the device can be kept low.
  • the design the housing of the sensors is practically not subject to any Limitations.
  • the sensors can have components either on one side or on both sides the transport route 50 are attached. What sensor components movable and which are designed to be fixed, depends on the boundary conditions of the sensor. This Boundary conditions can include ease of maintenance, Susceptibility to repairs, frequency of jams etc.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the front view of a Sensors.
  • the gap is closed, it is from the front of the base plate 30 accessible closure 42nd closed. If the closure 42 is opened, then the movable sensor component 10 along the here Move the invisible gap 43 upwards until the base plate 11 hits the stop 31. The gap between the transport system 50 and the movable sensor component 10 will be more open in this position Gap ".
  • guides on the side 35 attached are guides on the side 35 attached. When the gap is open, the groove is 32 in the base plate 30 can be seen, in which the adjusting pin 12th penetrates with the gap closed.
  • the seesaw is present 40 from a rectangular plate on two rocker bearings 41 is stored.
  • the closure 42 is through the Rocker 40 passed through.
  • a gap 43 In the rocker 40 is a gap 43, the dimensions of which essentially match that Gap 34 in the base plate 30 match.
  • Fig. 4 shows how the adjusting pin 12 and 22 in the grooves 32 and 33 of the base plate provided for this purpose 30 intervene.
  • the locking lever 13 is in the Locking position and the rocker 40 is by means of Closure 42 found.
