Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for feeding loose sheet material to a Blattgutippozler and a Entbanderol michsvor- direction thereof.
- the invention further relates to a banknote processing plant with a sheet material singler and such a feeding device.
- Each banknote sorting machine is usually preceded by one or more Blattgutoviczler.
- an input tray of the Blattgutoviczler piles of loose bills are inserted, and the banknotes are deducted from this stack individually, checked in the sorter according to certain criteria and re-sorted accordingly.
- the input compartments are designed to be transportable and can be filled with sheet material at a loading position and transported to one or more singlers.
- a corresponding transport system is provided, which may comprise one or more transport routes, which may also be interconnected.
- transport route several of the transportable input compartments can be arranged one behind the other.
- the transport route thus has memory function.
- the input tray consist of two parts, wherein the upper part is arranged stationary in the singling and only the lower part is designed to be transportable to be transported by means of the transport system from the loading position for filling the input tray to the singler or singlers.
- banknotes in a cutting system in which they are cut from appropriate sheets in the prescribed format, combined by means of banderoles to banknote stacks of 100 banknotes, so-called banknotes.
- banknotes This facilitates the manual Banknotes and makes the transport of banknotes safer compared to loose transported banknotes. Only before inserting the banknote stack or banknote packets in the transportable input tray the bands are removed manually again. This is disadvantageous because of the associated personnel expenses.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to automate the process of debranching, in particular within the overall system described in EP 0 764 131 Bl, in a favorable, if appropriate also optimal manner.
- the Entbanderolieren not done before placing the sheet stack or banknotes in the transportable input tray, but later during the transport of the subject or during a transport break.
- the sheet stacks are stored in banderolĂȘtm state in the transportable compartment and automatically removed during transport for verzier or during a transport break from the transportable compartment and freed from the banderoles to obtain in this way a loose sheet stack, the then is transported to the Blattgutaktler.
- a transport break in the context of the present invention a period to be understood, which is after filling a tray with stacks of sheets and before the actual start of transport.
- the invention offers the following two advantages.
- the reliable and secure handling of the sheet stack or banknote packets is ensured until they are stored in the transportable compartment.
- the Entbanderolierstation claimed no additional space in the loading position, but can instead be integrated to save space in the transport section for the movable compartments in the system.
- the entbanderol mandat banknote stacks can be supplied to the Blattgutver- zler either directly or initially transported back to the subject and fed to the Blattgutestzier immediately after further transport directly from the tray out.
- the transportable compartment preferably forms part of the input compartment of the sheet material divider, as described in EP 0 764 121 B1.
- the sheet stacks are preferably transported back into the transportable compartment by means of the same transport device with which they were previously removed from the transportable compartment for removing the bands.

Description
ZufĂŒhren von losem Blatteut Feeding loose leaf groove
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum ZufĂŒhren von losem Blattgut zu einem Blattgutvereinzler sowie eine Entbanderolierungsvor- richtung dafĂŒr. Die Erfindung betrifft des weiteren eine Banknotenbarbeitungs- anlage mit einem Blattgutvereinzler und einer derartigen ZufĂŒhrvorrichtung.The invention relates to a method and a device for feeding loose sheet material to a Blattgutvereinzler and a Entbanderolierungsvor- direction thereof. The invention further relates to a banknote processing plant with a sheet material singler and such a feeding device.
Jedem Banknotensortierautomat sind in der Regel ein oder mehrere Blattgutvereinzler vorgeschaltet. In ein Eingabefach der Blattgutvereinzler werden Stapel loser Banknoten eingelegt, und die Banknoten werden von diesem Stapel einzeln abgezogen, in dem Sortierautomat nach bestimmten Kriterien geprĂŒft und entsprechend sortiert wieder ausgegeben.Each banknote sorting machine is usually preceded by one or more Blattgutvereinzler. In an input tray of the Blattgutvereinzler piles of loose bills are inserted, and the banknotes are deducted from this stack individually, checked in the sorter according to certain criteria and re-sorted accordingly.
Die EP 0 764131 Bl schlĂ€gt zur Erhöhung der Durchsatzrate des Vereinzlers verschiedene MaĂnahmen vor, um den Vereinzelungsablauf ohne Unterbrechung durchfĂŒhren zu können. In einer als bevorzugt beschriebenen AusfĂŒh- rungsform sind die EingabefĂ€cher transportabel ausgefĂŒhrt und können an einer Ladeposition mit Blattgut gefĂŒllt und zu einem oder mehreren Vereinzlern transportiert werden. Zum Transport der EingabefĂ€cher ist ein entsprechendes Transportsystem vorgesehen, das eine oder mehrere Transportstrecken umfassen kann, die auch miteinander verbunden sein können. In der Transportstrecke können mehrere der transportablen EingabefĂ€cher hintereinander angeordnet sein. Die Transportstrecke hat somit Speicherfunktion. Insbesondere kann das Eingabefach aus zwei Teilen bestehen, wobei das Oberteil im Vereinzier ortsfest angeordnet ist und nur das Unterteil transportabel ausgefĂŒhrt ist, um mit Hilfe des Transportsystems von der Ladeposition zur BefĂŒllung des Eingabefachs zu dem oder den Vereinzlern transportiert zu werden.EP 0 764 131 B1 proposes various measures for increasing the throughput rate of the singler in order to be able to carry out the singling process without interruption. In an embodiment described as being preferred, the input compartments are designed to be transportable and can be filled with sheet material at a loading position and transported to one or more singlers. For transporting the input compartments, a corresponding transport system is provided, which may comprise one or more transport routes, which may also be interconnected. In the transport route, several of the transportable input compartments can be arranged one behind the other. The transport route thus has memory function. In particular, the input tray consist of two parts, wherein the upper part is arranged stationary in the singling and only the lower part is designed to be transportable to be transported by means of the transport system from the loading position for filling the input tray to the singler or singlers.
In vielen Druckereien werden Banknoten in einer Schneideanlage, in der sie aus entsprechenden Druckbögen in das vorgeschriebene Format zurechtgeschnitten werden, mittels Banderolen zu Banknotenstapeln von jeweils 100 Banknoten zusammengefasst, sogenannten BanknotepÀckchen. Dies erleichtert die Hand- habung der Banknoten und gestaltet den Transport der Banknoten sicherer im Vergleich zu lose transportierten Banknoten. Erst vor dem Einlegen der Banknotenstapel bzw. BanknotenpÀckchen in das transportable Eingabefach werden die Banderolen wieder manuell entfernt. Dies ist wegen des damit verbundenen Personalaufwands nachteilhaft.In many printing houses banknotes in a cutting system in which they are cut from appropriate sheets in the prescribed format, combined by means of banderoles to banknote stacks of 100 banknotes, so-called banknotes. This facilitates the manual Banknotes and makes the transport of banknotes safer compared to loose transported banknotes. Only before inserting the banknote stack or banknote packets in the transportable input tray the bands are removed manually again. This is disadvantageous because of the associated personnel expenses.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, den Vorgang des Entbandero- lierens, insbesondere innerhalb des in der EP 0 764 131 Bl beschriebenen Gesamtsystems, in gĂŒnstiger, gebenenfalls auch optimaler Weise zu automatisie- ren.The object of the present invention is therefore to automate the process of debranching, in particular within the overall system described in EP 0 764 131 Bl, in a favorable, if appropriate also optimal manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung sowie durch eine Banknotenbearbeitungsanlage mit den Merkmalen der nebengeordneten AnsprĂŒche gelöst. In davon abhĂ€ngigen AnsprĂŒchen sind vorteilhafte Ausge- staltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung angegeben.This object is achieved by a method and a device as well as by a bank note processing system having the features of the independent claims. In dependent claims advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention are given.
ErfindungsgemÀà erfolgt das Entbanderolieren nicht etwa vor dem Ablegen der Blattgutstapel bzw. BanknotepĂ€ckchen in das transportable Eingabefach, sondern erst spĂ€ter wĂ€hrend des Transports des Fachs oder wĂ€hrend einer Trans- portpause. D. h., die Blattgutstapel werden in banderoliertem Zustand in das transportable Fach abgelegt und wĂ€hrend des Transports zum Vereinzier oder wĂ€hrend einer Transportpause automatisch aus dem transportablen Fach entnommen und von den Banderolen befreit, um auf diese Weise einen losen Blattgutstapel zu erhalten, der dann weiter zum Blattgutvereinzler transportiert wird. Als Transportpause im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung kann auch ein Zeitraum zu verstehen sein, der nach BefĂŒllen eines Fachs mit Blattgutstapeln und vor dem eigentlichen Transportbeginn liegt.According to the invention the Entbanderolieren not done before placing the sheet stack or banknotes in the transportable input tray, but later during the transport of the subject or during a transport break. D. h., The sheet stacks are stored in banderoliertem state in the transportable compartment and automatically removed during transport for Vereinzier or during a transport break from the transportable compartment and freed from the banderoles to obtain in this way a loose sheet stack, the then is transported to the Blattgutvereinzler. As a transport break in the context of the present invention, a period to be understood, which is after filling a tray with stacks of sheets and before the actual start of transport.
Die Erfindung bietet insbesondere die beiden folgenden Vorteile. Einerseits ist die zuverlĂ€ssige und sichere Handhabung der Blattgutstapel bzw. BanknotenpĂ€ckchen bis zu ihrem Ablegen in das transportable Fach sichergestellt. Die Gefahr, dass der Banknotenstapel nach dem Entfernen der Banderolen und vor dein Einlegen in das transportable Fach in Unordnung gerĂ€t, wie es beim manuellen Entfernen der Banderolen bisher geschehen konnte, wird daher vermieden. Andererseits beansprucht die Entbanderolierstation keinen zusĂ€tzlichen Bauraum im Bereich der Ladeposition, sondern kann stattdessen platzsparend im Bereich der Transportstrecke fĂŒr die verlagerbaren FĂ€cher in die Anlage integriert werden.In particular, the invention offers the following two advantages. On the one hand, the reliable and secure handling of the sheet stack or banknote packets is ensured until they are stored in the transportable compartment. The There is a risk that the stack of bills will be messed up after removing the banderoles and before they are placed in the transportable compartment, as has been the case with manual removal of the banderols. On the other hand, the Entbanderolierstation claimed no additional space in the loading position, but can instead be integrated to save space in the transport section for the movable compartments in the system.
Je nach dem, in welchem Bereich der Transportstrecke das Entbanderolieren stattfindet, können die entbanderolierten Banknotenstapel dem Blattgutver- einzler entweder auf direktem Wege zugefĂŒhrt werden oder zunĂ€chst in das Fach zurĂŒck transportiert und erst nach einem Weitertransport unmittelbar aus dem Fach heraus dem Blattgutvereinzier zugefĂŒhrt werden. Dabei bildet das transportable Fach vorzugsweise einen Teil des Eingabefachs des Blattgutve- reinzlers, wie in EP 0 764121 Bl beschrieben. In diesem Falle werden die Blattgutstapel vorzugsweise mittels derselben Transporteinrichtung in das transportable Fach zurĂŒck transportiert, mit der sie zuvor aus dem transportablen Fach zum Entfernen der Banderolen entnommen wurden. Bevorzugt ist diese Variante insbesondere deshalb, weil die Entbanderolierstation dann in bestehende An- lagen, insbesondere solche, wie sie in der EP 0 764 121 Bl beschrieben sind, integriert werden kann, ohne dass dazu besondere Anpassungen der bestehenden Anlagen notwendig sind.Depending on in which region of the transport path Entbanderolieren takes place, the entbanderolierten banknote stacks can be supplied to the Blattgutver- zler either directly or initially transported back to the subject and fed to the Blattgutvereinzier immediately after further transport directly from the tray out. The transportable compartment preferably forms part of the input compartment of the sheet material divider, as described in EP 0 764 121 B1. In this case, the sheet stacks are preferably transported back into the transportable compartment by means of the same transport device with which they were previously removed from the transportable compartment for removing the bands. This variant is preferred, in particular, because the stripper removal station can then be integrated into existing systems, in particular those as described in EP 0 764 121 B1, without requiring special adjustments of the existing systems.
FĂŒr den Fall, dass das Entbanderolieren wĂ€hrend des Transports, also bei be- wegtem Fach, stattfindet, ist es vorteilhaft, die Entbanderolierstation so auszufĂŒhren, dass sie synchron mit dem transportablen Fach entlang der Transportstrecke mitbewegbar ist.In the event that the Entbanderolieren takes place during transport, so when moving compartment, it is advantageous to perform the Entbanderolierstation so that it is synchronously mitbewegbar along with the transportable compartment along the transport path.
Alternativ ist es auch möglich, die Transporteinrichtung so ausbilden, dass die- se wenigstens fĂŒr die Dauer der Entnahme, vorzugsweise auch des ZurĂŒckle- gens, des oder der Blattgutstapel synchron mit dem transportablen Fach entlang der Transportstrecke mitzubewegen.Alternatively, it is also possible to design the transport device in such a way that it at least for the duration of the removal, preferably also the return gens, the or the sheet stack in synchronism with the transportable tray along the transport path mitzubewegen.
Die Transporteinrichtung zum Entnehmen (und ZurĂŒckfĂŒhren) der Blattgutsta- pel aus den transportablen FĂ€chern umfasst vorzugsweise zwei Greifelemente, um die Blattgutstapel zwischen den Greifelementen aufzunehmen und klemmend zu transportieren. Auf diese Weise können die Blattgutstapel sowohl aus den FĂ€chern nach oben herausgehoben als auch nach dem Herausheben in eine hĂ€ngende Position verschwenkt werden, um aus dieser hĂ€ngenden Position in den eigentlichen Entbanderolierer abgesetzt zu werden.The transport device for removing (and returning) the sheet material stack from the transportable compartments preferably comprises two gripping elements in order to receive the sheet material stacks between the gripping elements and to transport them in a clamping manner. In this way, the sheet stack can be lifted out of the subjects upwards as well as pivoted after lifting in a hanging position to be discontinued from this hanging position in the actual Entbanderolierer.
Falls eine Anlagewand der FĂ€cher Schlitze aufweist, wie es z. B. bei den aus der EP 0 764131 Bl bekannten transportablen FĂ€chern der Fall ist, ist es vorteilhaft, die beiden Greifelemente kammartig derartig auszubilden, dass sie durch die Schlitze der FĂ€cher hindurchfĂŒhrbar sind, um die den FĂ€chern zu entnehmenden Blattgutstapel ergreifen zu können.If an investment wall of the subjects has slots, as z. As is the case with the transportable compartments known from EP 0 764 131 B1, it is advantageous to embody the two gripping elements in a comb-like manner so that they can be passed through the slots of the compartments in order to grasp the stack of sheets to be taken from the compartments.
Die transportablen FĂ€cher und dementsprechend auch die Entbanderolierstati- on können mehrere banderolierte Blattgutstapel aufnehmen und sind vorzugs- weise dazu geeignet, mindestens fĂŒnf BanknotenpĂ€ckchen Ă€ 100 Banknoten zu fassen. In dem Entbanderolierer können die Banderolen dieser Blattgutstapel entweder einzeln oder in Gruppen nacheinander oder alle zur selben Zeit entfernt werden. Dazu dienen ein oder mehrere Schneiden zum Durchtrennen der Banderolen. Diese Schneiden greifen vorzugsweise von einer Seite des Blattgut- stapeis an den Banderolen an, wĂ€hrend die durchtrennten Banderolen von einer anderen Seite der Blattgutstapel, vorzugsweise von einer den Schneiden gegenĂŒberliegenden Seite, entfernt werden. Dabei erfolgt das Durchtrennen der Banderolen vorteilhafterweise entlang der LĂ€ngskanten des Blattguts, so dass die Schneiden beim Trennvorgang zwischen benachbarte BlĂ€tter der Blattgut- Stapel eintauchen können und die BlĂ€tter nicht beschĂ€digen. Die Schneide oder Schneiden können so verlagerbar sein, dass die Banderolen benachbarter Blattgutstapel nacheinander durchtrennbar sind.The transportable compartments and, accordingly, also the unloading station can hold a plurality of strapped sheet stacks and are preferably suitable for holding at least five banknote packs per 100 banknotes. In the stripper, the bands of these sheet stacks can be removed either one at a time or in groups one at a time or all at the same time. These serve one or more cutting edges for cutting the bands. These cutters preferably engage the banderoles from one side of the sheetstock, while the severed banderoles are removed from another side of the sheet stock stacks, preferably from a side opposite the cut edges. In this case, the severing of the bands advantageously takes place along the longitudinal edges of the sheet material, so that the cutting edges can dive during the separation process between adjacent sheets of the sheet material stacks and do not damage the sheets. The cutting edge or Cutting can be so displaced that the bands of adjacent Blattgutstapel are successively severable.
Bei Verwendung nur einer Schneide, insbesondere aber auch bei Verwendung mehrerer Schneiden, die die Banderole entlang der LÀngskanten des Blattgutstapels durchtrennt bzw. durchtrennen, können unmittelbar vor dem Schritt des Durch trennens und/ oder bei dem Schritt des Durchtrennens wenigstens zwei der BlÀtter des Blattguts auseinandergedrÀngt werden, und das Durchtrennen erfolgt im Bereich der beiden BlÀtter. Dieses Vorgehen bietet den Vorteil, dass eine BeschÀdigung des Blattguts an den LÀngskanten durch die Schneide bzw. eine der Schneiden wenigstens weitgehend vermieden werden kann.When using only one cutting edge, but in particular also when using a plurality of cutting edges which sever or cut through the banderole along the longitudinal edges of the sheet material stack, at least two of the sheets of the sheet material can be forced apart immediately before the step of severing and / or in the step of severing and the cutting takes place in the area of the two leaves. This procedure offers the advantage that damage to the sheet material at the longitudinal edges by the cutting edge or one of the cutting edges can be at least largely avoided.
Hierzu kann der Entbanderolierer wenigstens ein Trennelement, insbesondere eine Klinge, aufweisen, das in Richtung einer zum Auftrennen der Banderole erfolgenden Relativbewegung von Blattgutstapel und Schneide vor der Schneide angeordnet ist, so dass es zwischen zwei BlĂ€tter des Blattgutstapels fĂ€hrt und diese voneinander trennt und die Schneide teilweise zwischen den BlĂ€ttern bewegt wird. Das Trennelement kann dazu eine sich in Richtung auf den Blattgutstapel zu verjĂŒngende Vorderkante aufweisen, die zwar im Wesentlichen spitz auslĂ€uft, aber nicht scharf ist.For this purpose, the Entbanderolierer at least one separating element, in particular a blade, which is arranged in the direction of taking place for separating the band relative movement of Blattgutstapel and cutting edge in front of the cutting edge, so that it moves between two sheets of sheet stack and separates them from each other and the cutting edge partially moved between the leaves. For this purpose, the separating element can have a leading edge to be tapered in the direction of the sheet material stack, which, although substantially tapered, is not sharp.
Die Schneiden können prinzipiell beliebig ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere kann die Schneide ein um eine orthogonal zu einer Relativbewegung zwischen Schneide und Blattgutstapel ausgerichtete Achse rotierendes Messer umfassen, das wenigstens wĂ€hrend des Auftrennens der Banderole durch einen Antrieb des Entbanderolierers in Rotation versetzt wird. Diese AusfĂŒhrungsform erlaubt eine besonders gute Auftrennung der Banderole unabhĂ€ngig von der Geschwindigkeit einer linearen Relativbewegung von Schneide und Blattgutstapel. Bei Verwendung mehrerer Schneiden können die Schneiden insbesondere durch um eine gemeinsame Achse rotierende Messer gegeben sein. Dies erlaubt einen besonders einfachen Aufbau der Vorrichtung.The cutting edges can in principle be designed as desired. In particular, the cutting edge may comprise a rotating blade about an axis oriented orthogonal to a relative movement between the cutting edge and the sheet material stack, which is set in rotation at least during the separation of the banderole by a drive of the stripper. This embodiment allows a particularly good separation of the band irrespective of the speed of a linear relative movement of the cutting edge and sheet material stack. When using several cutting edges, the cutting edges can in particular be provided by knives rotating about a common axis. This allows a particularly simple construction of the device.
Um ein gutes Auftrennen der Banderole ohne eine BeschÀdigung des Blattguts zu ermöglichen wird der banderolierte Blattgutstapel vorzugsweise zum Schneiden ausgerichtet.In order to enable a good separation of the band without damaging the sheet material, the banded sheet material stack is preferably aligned for cutting.
GemÀà einer ersten Alternative kann bei der Vorrichtung hierzu in einer bevor- zugten AusfĂŒhrungsform der Entbanderolierer wenigstens eine, vorzugsweise gegenĂŒber der Horizontalen geneigte, Ablage umfassen, auf der der wenigstens eine Blattgutstapel zum Auftrennen der Banderole ablegbar ist. Die Ausrichtung kann dadurch in vorteilhafter Weise durch die Schwerkraft erfolgen. Insbesondere kann hierzu im unteren Bereich der Ablage wenigstens ein entsprechender Anschlag angeordnet sein, gegen den der Blattgutstapel auf der Ablage durch die Schwerkraft gedrĂ€ngt wird.According to a first alternative, in the device for this purpose, in a preferred embodiment, the stripper may comprise at least one tray, preferably inclined with respect to the horizontal, on which the at least one stack of sheets for separating the band can be placed. The alignment can be done by gravity in an advantageous manner. In particular, at least one corresponding stop can be arranged for this purpose in the lower region of the tray, against which the sheet material stack is forced onto the tray by gravity.
Weiter kann der Entbanderolierer eine Aufnahme zum Aufnehmen von zu entbanderolierenden Blattgutstapeln zum Auftrennen der Banderolen aufweisen, die vorzugsweise eine bzw. die auf einer zur Horizontalen geneigten Ablage aufweist. Weiterhin kann die Aufnahme ĂŒber seitliche FĂŒhrungs- bzw. Ausrichtelemente verfĂŒgen.Further, the Entbanderolierer having a receptacle for receiving entbanderolierenden sheet material stacks for separating the bands, which preferably has one or the inclined on a horizontal tray. Furthermore, the receptacle may have lateral guiding or alignment elements.
Insbesondere kann die Aufnahme so ausgebildet sein, dass mittels der Aufnah- me die Schneide und der wenigstens eine Blattgutstapel relativ zueinander ausrichtbar und in ausgerichteter Lage wÀhrend des Schneidens haltbar sind. Auf diese Weise kann ein besonders prÀzises Auftrennen erfolgen.In particular, the receptacle can be designed so that the cutting edge and the at least one stack of sheet stacks can be held in alignment relative to one another and in an aligned position during cutting by means of the receptacle. In this way, a particularly precise separation can take place.
Weiter ist es bevorzugt, dass die Aufnahme wenigstens ein zwischen einer Auf- nahmestellung und einer Haltestellung bewegliches Element aufweist, wobei in der Aufnahmestellung der wenigstens eine banderolierte Blattgutstapel in die Aufnahme einfĂŒhrbar ist und durch Bewegung des Elements aus der Aufnahmestellung in die Haltestellung der Blattgutstapel in einer vorgegebenen Lage haltbar ist. Diese AusfĂŒhrungsform ermöglicht es in vorteilhafter Weise, auch zu entbanderolierende Blattgutstapel, die an den Enden auseinandergebogene BlĂ€t- ter aufweisen, sicher zum Entbanderolieren auszurichten.Further, it is preferred that the receptacle has at least one movable between a receiving position and a holding position element, wherein in the receiving position of the at least one banded sheet stack in the Recording is insertable and is stable by movement of the element from the receiving position to the holding position of the sheet stack in a predetermined position. This embodiment makes it possible in an advantageous manner to align strip sheets to be unbonded, which have blades bent apart at the ends, in a manner that is secure for strip removal.
Prinzipiell genĂŒgt es, nur ein bewegliches Element vorzusehen, mittels dessen der Banknotenstapel gegen einen entsprechenden Anschlag haltbar ist. Es ist jedoch auf möglich, dass die Aufnahme wenigstens ein weiteres zwischen einer Aufnahmestellung und einer Haltestellung bewegliches Element umfaĂt, dessen Bewegung mit der des anderen Elements so gekoppelt ist, dass der Blattgutstapel bei Bewegung aus der Aufnahmestellung in die Haltestellung eingeklemmt wird. Insbesondere können die Elemente so ausgebildet sein, dass der Blattgutstapel relativ zu der Schneide oder den Schneiden ausgerichtet, insbesondere auf diese zentriert wird.In principle, it is sufficient to provide only one movable element by means of which the banknote stack can be held against a corresponding stop. However, it is possible that the receptacle comprises at least one further between a receiving position and a holding position movable element whose movement is coupled to that of the other element so that the sheet stack is clamped in movement from the receiving position to the holding position. In particular, the elements can be designed such that the sheet material stack is aligned relative to the cutting edge or the cutting edges, in particular centered on them.
Dabei kann das Element oder können die Elemente zur Bewegung aus der Aufnahmestellung in die Haltestellung dreh-, kipp- oder schwenkbar sein. Hierdurch kann bei geringem Platzbedarf eine sehr groĂe Ăffnung erzielt werden, in die der zu entbanderolierende Blattgutstapel eingefĂŒhrt werden kann.In this case, the element or the elements for movement from the receiving position in the holding position can be rotated, tilted or swiveled. As a result, a very large opening can be achieved in a small footprint, in which the sheet material stack to be entbanderolierende can be introduced.
Alternativ oder zusĂ€tzlich ist es möglich, dass das Element oder die Elemente zur Bewegung aus der Aufnahmestellung in die Haltestellung linear verlagerbar gelagert ist bzw. sind. Diese AusfĂŒhrungsform erlaubt eine besonders gute Klemmung des zu entbanderolierenden Blattgutstapels.Alternatively or additionally, it is possible that the element or the elements for movement from the receiving position to the holding position is linearly displaceable or are. This embodiment allows a particularly good clamping of the sheet material stack to be entbanderolierenden.
Um den Entbanderolierer fĂŒr Blattgutstapel unterschiedlicher Dicke, beispielsweise Blattgutstapel mit einer vorgegebenen Anzahl von BlĂ€ttern einer fĂŒr den Stapel festen, aber sonst unterschiedlichen Dicke, einfach verwenden zu kann der Entbanderolierer vorzugsweise eine Einstelleinrichtung umfassen, mittels derer die Weite der Aufnahme auf die Dicke des oder der entnommenen Blatt- gutstapel einzustellbar ist. Dies ist insbesondere dann einfach möglich, wenn der Blattgutstapel durch die Aufnahme zentriert wird.In order to use the Entbanderolierer for sheet material stacks of different thickness, for example, sheet stack with a predetermined number of sheets one for the stack solid but otherwise different thickness, the Entbanderolierer preferably comprise an adjustment means by which the width of the recording on the thickness of or removed leaf good stack is tunable. This is in particular easily possible if the sheet stack is centered by the recording.
Als zweite Alternative ist es möglich, auf die Aufnahme zu verzichten. Die Transporteinrichtung kann dann eine Halteeinrichtung umfassen, um dem Fach zu entnehmende Blattgutstapel aus dem Fach in den Bereich der wenigstens einen Schneide zu transportieren, wobei die Transporteinrichtung und der Ent- banderolierer so ausgebildet sind, dass die Schneide die Banderole auftrennt wĂ€hrend der Blattgutstapel in der Halteeinrichtung gehalten ist. Diese AusfĂŒh- rungsform zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass ein besonders kompakter Aufbau erzielt werden kann. Die hierbei notwendige Relativbewegung zwischen der Schneide und dem Blattgutstapel kann durch Bewegung der Schneide, des Blattgutstapels oder sowohl der Schneide als auch des Blattgutstapels erfolgen, wozu die Halteeinrichtung und eine Schneideinrichtung mit der Schneide ent- sprechend angetrieben bewegbar ausgebildet sein können.As a second alternative, it is possible to dispense with the recording. The transport device can then comprise a holding device for transporting sheet material stacks to be removed from the compartment into the region of the at least one cutting edge, wherein the transport device and the debindering device are designed such that the cutting edge separates the band during the sheet material stack in the Holding device is held. This embodiment is characterized by the fact that a particularly compact design can be achieved. The relative movement between the cutting edge and the sheet material stack required in this case can be achieved by moving the cutting edge, the sheet material stack or both the cutting edge and the sheet material stack, for which purpose the holding device and a cutting device can be designed to be movable with the cutting edge driven accordingly.
Hierzu ist das Fach vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass in diesem bereits eine Ausrichtung des oder der banderolierten Blattgutstapel erfolgen kann. Beispielsweise kann der Fachboden gegenĂŒber der Horizontalen geneigt sein.For this purpose, the tray is preferably designed so that in this already an orientation of the or the banded sheet stack can be done. For example, the shelf may be inclined relative to the horizontal.
Weiter ist es auch denkbar, weiterhin eine Ablage zu benutzen, die aber nur zur Ausrichtung in einer Richtung dient.Furthermore, it is also conceivable to continue to use a tray, which serves only for alignment in one direction.
Die Halteeinrichtung kann insbesondere eine Greifer, beispielsweise mit den bereits erwÀhnten Greifelementen, umfassen, der den wenigstens einen zu entbanderolierenden Blattgutstapel dem Fach entnimmt und relativ zu der oder den Schneiden bewegt.The holding device may in particular comprise a gripper, for example with the already mentioned gripping elements, which removes the at least one sheet material stack to be unbanolated from the compartment and moves relative to the one or more cutting edges.
Zum Entfernen der durchtrennten Banderolen dient ein Abstreif er, mittels des- sen die entfernten Banderolen ergriffen und einem SammelbehĂ€lter zugefĂŒhrt werden. Auch der Abstreifer taucht vorteilhafterweise zwischen benachbarte BlĂ€tter der Blattgutstapel ein, um die Banderolen zuverlĂ€ssig erfassen zu können. WĂ€hrend des Entbanderolierens liegen die Blattgutstapel vorzugsweise auf einer zur Horizontalen rĂŒckwĂ€rts geneigten Ablage, um insbesondere beim Entfernen der Banderolen ein Mitziehen von Blattgut zu vermeiden.To remove the severed bands serves a scraper, by means of which the removed bands are taken and fed to a collecting container. The scraper also advantageously emerges between adjacent ones Leaves the Blattgutstapel a to capture the bands reliably. During Entbanderolierens the sheet material stack are preferably on a horizontal inclined backwards tray to avoid, especially when removing the bands dragging sheet material.
Des weiteren können eine Fotostation und/ oder ein LesegerĂ€t z. B. im Entban- derolierer vorgesehen sein, um Informationen auf der Banderole fotografisch zu erfassen bzw. Daten auf der Banderole zu lesen, wobei die Fotos bzw. die gelesenen Daten in Verbindung mit einem Code fĂŒr dasjenige Fach, in dem die zu- gehörigen Blattgutstapel transportiert werden oder wurden, abgespeichert werden. Diese Informationen und Daten werden bei der nachfolgenden Sortierung des Blattguts berĂŒcksichtigt. Dies kann von besonderer Bedeutung sein, wenn mittels der FĂ€cher z. B. BanknotenpĂ€ckchen depositbezogen transportiert werden, wenn also in den einzelnen FĂ€chern ganz bestimmte BanknotenpĂ€ck- chen und/ oder gegebenenfalls unterschiedliche Anzahlen an BanknotenpĂ€ckchen transportiert werden.Furthermore, a photo station and / or a reader z. B. in Entban- erolierer be provided to capture information on the band photograph or read data on the band, the photos or the read data in conjunction with a code for that compartment in which the associated Blattgutstapel be transported or were stored. This information and data is taken into account during the subsequent sorting of the sheet material. This may be of particular importance when using the subjects z. B. banknotes package are transported deposit-related, so if in the individual compartments very specific BanknotepĂ€ck- chen and / or possibly different numbers of banknote packets are transported.
Das Einlegen der banderolierten Blattgutstapel in die transportablen FĂ€cher kann manuell oder z. B. mittels eines Roboters automatisch erfolgen. Letzteres ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn sich ein Banknotensortierautomat mit der erfindungsgemĂ€Ăen ZufĂŒhrvorrichtung unmittelbar an eine Schneideanlage anschlieĂt, in der einzelne Banknoten aus Banknotendruckbögen zurechtge- schnitten und zu Banknotenstapeln zusammengefasst werden. In diesem Falle wird die ZufĂŒhrvorrichtung mit den Banknotenstapeln direkt von der Schnei- deanlage automatisch beschickt.The insertion of the banded sheet stack in the portable compartments can manually or z. B. automatically by means of a robot. The latter is particularly advantageous if a banknote sorting machine with the feeding device according to the invention directly adjoins a cutting installation in which individual banknotes are cut from banknotes and combined into banknote stacks. In this case, the feeding device with the banknote stacks is fed automatically directly from the cutting system.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand der begleitenden Zeichnungen beispielhaft beschrieben.The invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Figur 1 ist als Beispiel fĂŒr eine Blattgutbearbeitungsvorrichtung eine Banknotenbearbeitungsanlage mit einem Banknotensortierapparat 1 dargestellt, der beispielsweise zur PrĂŒfung druckfrischer Banknoten und/ oder zur PrĂŒfung des Zustande und/ oder der Art (WĂ€hrung bzw. Denomination) gebrauchter Bank- noten dient. Dem Sortierautomat 1 ist ein Vereinzier 2 vorgeschaltet, mittels dessen lose gestapelte Banknoten vereinzelt werden, so dass sie in dem Sortierautomat 1 separat geprĂŒft werden können. Die Stapel loser Banknoten werden in EingabefĂ€chern 13 bereitgestellt und mittels einer Vorrichtung 3 dem Vereinzier 2 zugefĂŒhrt.FIG. 1 shows, as an example of a sheet material processing device, a banknote processing system with a banknote sorting apparatus 1 which serves, for example, for checking freshly printed banknotes and / or checking the condition and / or type (currency or denomination) of used banknotes. The sorting machine 1 is preceded by a Vereinzier 2, by means of which loose stacked banknotes are isolated, so that they can be tested separately in the sorting machine 1. The stacks of loose banknotes are provided in input compartments 13 and supplied to the separator 2 by means of a device 3.
Die ZufĂŒhrvorrichtung 3 in Figur 1 besitzt zwei Transportstrecken 11, 12, auf welchen die FĂ€cher 13 auf Schienen automatisch transportiert werden. Die obere Transportstrecke 11 dient dabei dem Transport der FĂ€cher 13 mit den Banknoten zum Vereinzeier 2 hin. Die untere Transportstrecke 12 dient dem RĂŒck- transport der FĂ€cher, nachdem die Banknoten durch den Vereinzeier 2 aus dem jeweiligen Fach 13 entfernt worden sind. Transporteinheiten, welche die FĂ€cher 13 von der oberen 11 auf die untere 12 Transportstrecke bewegen bzw. von der unteren 12 auf die obere 11 Transportstrecke, sind zur Verbesserung der Ăbersichtlichkeit nicht dargestellt. In die FĂ€cher 13 werden in der oberen Trans- portstrecke 11 Banknotenstapel manuell von einem Bediener eingelegt, ebenso kann eine automatische BefĂŒllung der FĂ€cher 13 erfolgen. Das Entbanderolieren der Banknotenstapel erfolgt anschlieĂend vollkommen automatisch.The feeding device 3 in Figure 1 has two transport sections 11, 12, on which the compartments 13 are transported automatically on rails. The upper transport section 11 serves to transport the compartments 13 with the banknotes for Vereinzeier 2 out. The lower transport path 12 serves for the return transport of the compartments after the banknotes have been removed by the separator 2 from the respective compartment 13. Transport units which move the compartments 13 from the upper 11 to the lower 12 transport path or from the lower 12 to the upper 11 transport path are not shown for the sake of clarity. Into the compartments 13 banknote stacks are manually inserted by an operator in the upper transport section 11, as well as an automatic filling of the compartments 13 take place. The Entbanderolieren the banknote stack is then completely automatically.
Zum Entbanderolieren der in den FĂ€chern 13 transportierten banderolierten Banknotenstapel (nicht dargestellt) dient eine Entbanderolierstation 4. Die Ent- banderolierstation 4 ist platzsparend unterhalb eines Arbeitstisches 5, auf der auch die Bedienerkonsole zur Ăberwachung und Steuerung des Gesamtprozesses durch eine Bedienperson vorgesehen ist, entlang der Transportstrecke 11 untergebracht. Bestehende Banknotenbearbeitungsanlagen können ohne aufwendige UmrĂŒstung mit der Entbanderolierstation 4 nachgerĂŒstet werden. Nicht dargestellt sind etwaige, der ZufĂŒhrvorrichtung 3 in Transportrichtung (Pfeil) vorgelagerte Einrichtungen. So können beispielsweise die auf der unteren Transportstrecke 11 transportierten FĂ€cher 13 mit Banknotenstapeln direkt aus einer Schneideanlage beschickt werden. Sofern die FĂ€cher 13 mit losem Blattgut gefĂŒllt werden, besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Entbanderolierstation 4 deakti- viert wird, da ein Entbanderolieren fĂŒr derart beladene FĂ€cher nicht notwendig ist.For unbanding the banded banknote stack (not shown) transported in the compartments 13, a stripper removal station 4 is used. The debandering station 4 is space-saving below a workbench 5 on which Also, the operator console for monitoring and control of the overall process is provided by an operator, housed along the transport path 11. Existing bank note processing systems can be retrofitted without costly conversion with the Entbanderolierstation 4. Not shown are any, the feeder 3 in the transport direction (arrow) upstream facilities. Thus, for example, the compartments 13 transported on the lower transport section 11 can be loaded with banknote stacks directly from a cutting system. If the compartments 13 are filled with loose sheet material, there is the possibility that the stripper removal station 4 is deactivated, since it is not necessary to debranch it for compartments loaded in this way.
Nachfolgend wird anhand der Figur 2 die Entbanderolierstation 4 und ihre Funktionsweise detaillierter beschrieben. WĂ€hrend in Figur 1 die Gesamtanlage perspektivisch von der RĂŒckansicht dargestellt ist, zeigt der Ausschnitt in Figur 2 die Entbanderolierstation 4 perspektivisch von vorne. Die Transportstrecke 11 umfasst zwei parallel angeordnete, gemeinsam angetriebene Transportriemen 14, welche mehrere hintereinander angeordnete TrĂ€ger 15 transportieren, von denen in Figur 2 nur einer gezeigt ist und auf welchen jeweils ein Fach 13 zur Aufnahme von vertikal gestapelten Banknoten montiert ist. Die FĂ€cher 13 bilden den unteren Teil eines Eingabefachs fĂŒr den Vereinzier 2, wie in EP 0 764131 Bl genauer beschrieben. Sie weisen eine aus StĂ€ben gebildete Auflage 16 und eine ebenfalls aus StĂ€ben, die vertikal angeordnet sind, gebildete RĂŒckwand 17 sowie eine seitliche RĂŒckhaltewand 18 auf, um die Banknotenstapel 19, welche in Fi- gur 2 manuell zugefĂŒhrt werden, in einer leichten Neigung aufzunehmen, so dass der Stapel nicht verrutschen kann.Subsequently, the Entbanderolierstation 4 and its operation will be described in more detail with reference to FIG 2. While in Figure 1, the entire system is shown in perspective from the rear view, the section in Figure 2 shows the Entbanderolierstation 4 in perspective from the front. The transport section 11 comprises two parallel, jointly driven transport belts 14, which transport a plurality of carriers 15 arranged one behind the other, of which only one is shown in FIG. 2 and on each of which a compartment 13 for receiving vertically stacked banknotes is mounted. The compartments 13 form the lower part of an input compartment for the Vereinzier 2, as described in more detail in EP 0 764131 Bl. They have a support 16 formed of rods and a back wall 17 also formed of rods arranged vertically, and a lateral retaining wall 18 for accepting the banknote stacks 19, which are manually fed in FIG. 2, with a slight inclination, so that the stack can not slip.
Die durch StĂ€be gebildeten Auflage 16 und RĂŒckwand 17 erlauben es, mittels eines rechenartigen Greifers 20 die in dem Fach 13 transportierten banderolier- ten Banknotenstapel 19 zu ergreifen und nach oben aus dem Fach 13 herauszuheben. Dazu besitzt der Greifer 20 zwei kammartige Greifelemente, die von hin- ten durch die RĂŒckwand 17 so durchgefĂŒhrt werden, dass das untere Greifele- ment unter dem Banknotenstapel 19 unterhalb der Auflage 16 und das obere Greifelement ĂŒber dem Banknotenstapel 19 zu liegen kommt. Die Greifelemente werden dann aufeinander zubewegt, bis die Banknotenstapel 19 zwischen den Greif elementen des Greifers 20 sicher geklemmt sind. AnschlieĂend werden die so ergriffenen Banknotenstapel im wesentlichen vertikal nach oben aus dem Fach 13 herausgehoben. Dieser Zustand ist in Figur 2 fĂŒr fĂŒnf Banknotenstapel 19 dargestellt, gebildet durch fĂŒnf banderolierte BanknotenpĂ€ckchen mit jeweils 100 Banknoten.The support 16 and back wall 17 formed by rods make it possible to grasp the banded banknote stack 19 transported in the compartment 13 by means of a rake-type gripper 20 and lift it up out of the compartment 13. For this purpose, the gripper 20 has two comb-like gripping elements, which are supported by through the rear wall 17 so that the lower gripping element under the stack of banknotes 19 comes to lie below the support 16 and the upper gripper element over the banknote stack 19. The gripping elements are then moved toward each other until the banknote stack 19 elements between the gripping of the gripper 20 are securely clamped. Subsequently, the banknote stacks taken in this way are lifted out of the compartment 13 substantially vertically upwards. This state is illustrated in FIG. 2 for five banknote stacks 19, formed by five banded banknote packets each having 100 banknotes.
Die Bewegung des Greifers 20 und seiner rechenartigen Greifelemente wird koordiniert durch eine Transporteinrichtung 21, die im weiteren Verlauf des Ent- banderoliervorgangs den Greifer 20 mit den aus dem Fach 13 herausgehobenen Banknotenstapeln 19 um etwa 90° so verschwenkt, dass die Banknotenstapel 19 in einen hĂ€ngenden Zustand ĂŒberfĂŒhrt werden, in welchem sie durch Absenken des Greifers 20 in einen Entbanderolierer 22 abgesetzt werden. Dort werden sie auf einer schrĂ€g orientierten Ablage verrutschsicher gehalten.The movement of the gripper 20 and its rake-like gripping elements is coordinated by a transport device 21, which pivots the gripper 20 with the banknote stacks 19 lifted out of the compartment 13 in the further course of the debandering process by approximately 90 ° such that the banknote stacks 19 are suspended in a hanging State in which they are discontinued by lowering the gripper 20 in a Entbanderolierer 22. There they are kept slip-proof on an obliquely oriented shelf.
Der Entbanderoliervorgang umfasst das Durchtrennen der Banderolen, entwe- der einzeln oder in Gruppen nacheinander oder vorzugsweise fĂŒr alle Banderolen gleichzeitig, und das Entfernen der durchtrennten Banderolen. Zum Durchtrennen dient eine Schneideinrichtung 25, die mindestens eine Schneide und vorzugsweise eine der maximalen Anzahl von in dem Fach 13 transportierbaren Banknotenstapeln Ă€ 100 Banknoten entsprechende Anzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Schneiden, um alle Banderolen gleichzeitig durch trennen zu können, aufweist. Dazu wird die Schneideinrichtung 25 entlang einer Seite der in der Aufnahme 24 positionierten Banknotenstapel 19 entlang gefĂŒhrt, wobei im dargestellten AusfĂŒhrungsbeispiel die Banknotenstapel 19 so in der Aufnahme 24 aufgenommen werden, dass die Schneiden der Schneideinrichtung 25 an den LĂ€ngsseitenkanten der Banknoten vorbeigefĂŒhrt werden und dadurch zwischen benachbarte Banknoten eintauchen können, um ein zuverlĂ€ssiges Durchtrennen der Banderolen ohne BeschĂ€digung der Banknoten zu gewĂ€hrleisten.The Entbanderoliervorgang includes the severing of the bands, either individually or in groups successively or preferably for all bands simultaneously, and the removal of the severed bands. For cutting is a cutting device 25, the at least one cutting edge and preferably one of the maximum number of transportable in the tray 13 banknote stacks corresponding to 100 banknotes number of juxtaposed cutting edges in order to be able to separate all bands simultaneously. For this purpose, the cutting device 25 is guided along one side of the banknote stack 19 positioned in the receptacle 24, wherein in the illustrated embodiment the banknote stacks 19 are received in the receptacle 24 so that the cutting edges of the cutting device 25 are guided past the longitudinal side edges of the banknotes and thereby between adjacent banknotes can dive to ensure reliable cutting of the banderoles without damaging the banknotes.
Auf der der Schneideinrichtung 25 gegenĂŒberliegenden Seite ist eine Abstreif- einrichtung 26 zum Abstreifen und Entfernen der durchtrennten Banderolen vorgesehen. Die Abstreifeinrichtung 26 besitzt mindestens einen Greifer bzw. Abstreifer, in dem dargestellten AusfĂŒhrungsbeispiel eine der maximalen Anzahl von zu bearbeitenden Banknotenstapel entsprechende Anzahl von Greifern bzw. Abstreifern, die die durchtrennten Banderolen - hier von unten - ergreifen und ĂŒber eine Rampe 27 in einen nicht dargestellten SammelbehĂ€lter entsorgen. Die Banderolen können auch in die entgegengesetzte Richtung und/ oder durch die Ablage hindurch nach unten abgezogen werden.On the opposite side of the cutting device 25, a stripping device 26 is provided for stripping and removing the severed bands. The stripping device 26 has at least one gripper or scraper, in the illustrated embodiment one of the maximum number of banknote stack to be processed corresponding number of grippers or scrapers that take the severed bands - here from below - and a ramp 27 in a non-illustrated Dispose of collection container. The bands can also be pulled down in the opposite direction and / or through the tray.
Die auf diese Weise entbanderolierten Banknotenstapel 19 werden anschlieĂend in entsprechender Weise mittels des Greifers 20 in das Fach 13 zurĂŒckgestapelt.The banknotes stack 19 entbanderolierten in this way are then stacked back in a corresponding manner by means of the gripper 20 in the compartment 13.
Der Entbanderoliervorgang kann in einer Transportpause oder auch wĂ€hrend des Transports des Fachs 13 entlang der Transportstrecke 11 erfolgen. Im letzteren Fall wird die Entbanderolierstation, vorzugsweise synchron, mit dem be- wegten Fach 13 mitbewegt und anschlieĂend wieder in ihre Ausgangsposition zurĂŒckgefĂŒhrt. Die Entbanderolierphase ist in Figur 2 durch das punktiert dargestellte Fenster 28 angedeutet.The Entbanderoliervorgang can take place in a transport break or during the transport of the tray 13 along the transport path 11. In the latter case, the unbanding station is moved, preferably synchronously, with the moving compartment 13 and then returned to its original position. The Entbanderolierphase is indicated in Figure 2 by the window 28 shown in dots.
WĂ€hrend sich die Banknotenstapel 19 in der Aufnahme 24 des Entbanderolie- rers 22 befinden, wird Information von den Banderolen mittels einer Fotostation 23 abfotografiert. Ein in der Fotostation 23 integriertes LesegerĂ€t dient des weiteren dazu, Daten von den Banderolen auszulesen, z. B. mittels eines Barcodelesers oder eines OCR-Scanners. Die Fotos und Daten werden dann in Verbindung mit einem Code fĂŒr ein zugehöriges Fach 13 gespeichert, fĂŒr die spĂ€tere Verarbeitung im Vereinzier 2 und/ oder Sortierautomat 1. Eine bevorzugte AusfĂŒhrungsform der Schneideinrichtung und der Aufnahme ist in den Figuren 3 bis 5 gezeigt.While the banknote stacks 19 are located in the receptacle 24 of the depanner 22, information from the bands is photographed by means of a photo station 23. An integrated in the photo station 23 reader also serves to read data from the bands, z. B. by means of a bar code reader or an OCR scanner. The photos and data are then stored in conjunction with a code for an associated compartment 13, for later processing in the separator 2 and / or automatic sorter 1. A preferred embodiment of the cutting device and the receptacle is shown in Figures 3 to 5.
Die nur teilweise gezeigte Schneideinrichtung 25' verfĂŒgt zwischen zwei Armen 30 gehalten ĂŒber wenigstens zwei, im Beispiel fĂŒnf Schneiden, die durch auf einer Welle 31 angeordnete kreisförmige Messer 32 gegeben sind. Die Anzahl der Messer 32 entspricht der maximalen Anzahl von gleichzeitig entbandero- lierbaren Banknotenstapeln, im AusfĂŒhrungsbeispiel fĂŒnf. Die Welle 31 wird ĂŒber einen Riemenantrieb 46 von einem nicht gezeigten Motor angetrieben. Damit sind die Schneiden durch um eine gemeinsame Achse rotierende Messer gegeben. Die Welle 31 und damit die Achse sind orthogonal zu der Richtung R einer Relativbewegung zwischen den Schneiden 32 und dem der Ăbersichtlichkeit halber nicht gezeigten, in der Aufnahme 24' gehaltenen Banknotenstapel 29 angeordnet. Die Messer 32 rotieren daher um eine orthogonal zu einer Relativ- bewegung zwischen Schneide und Blattgutstapel ausgerichtete Achse. Die Messer werden wenigstens wĂ€hrend des Auftrennens der Banderole durch den Antrieb in Rotation versetzt.The only partially shown cutting device 25 'has between two arms 30 held at least two, in the example five cutting edges, which are given by arranged on a shaft 31 circular blade 32. The number of knives 32 corresponds to the maximum number of banknotes that can be debanned at the same time, in the exemplary embodiment five. The shaft 31 is driven by a belt drive 46 by a motor, not shown. Thus, the cutting edges are given by rotating about a common axis knives. The shaft 31 and thus the axis are orthogonal to the direction R of a relative movement between the cutting edges 32 and the sake of clarity not shown, held in the receptacle 24 'banknote stack 29 is arranged. The knives 32 therefore rotate about an axis oriented orthogonal to a relative movement between the cutting edge and the sheet material stack. The knives are rotated at least during the separation of the banderole by the drive in rotation.
In der Ebene jedes der Messer 32 ist jeweils ein Trennelement 33, insbesondere eine Klinge, angeordnet, das in Richtung einer zum Auftrennen der Banderole erfolgenden Relativbewegung R von Blattgutstapel und Schneide bzw. Messer 32 vor der Schneide angeordnet ist, so dass es zwischen zwei BlÀtter des Blattgutstapels fÀhrt und diese voneinander trennt und die Schneide teilweise zwischen den BlÀttern bewegt wird.In the plane of each of the blades 32 is a respective separating element 33, in particular a blade arranged, which is arranged in the direction of taking place for separating the band relative movement R of sheet material stack and cutting edge or knife 32 in front of the cutting edge, so that it between two sheets the sheet pile moves and separates them from each other and the cutting edge is partially moved between the sheets.
Die Trennelemente 33 sind an ihrer Vorderkante 34 spitz zulaufend ausgebildet. Die Vorderkante 34 ist jedoch so stumpf ausgebildet, dass diese Banknoten nicht einschneiden kann, wenn die Schneideinrichtung 25' und der Banknotenstapel 19 relativ zueinander bewegt werden, um die Banderole zu durchtrennen. Die Vorderkanten sind vorzugsweise so geneigt, daà diese bei Auftreffen auf die Banderole diese in Richtung quer zur Richtung R der Relativbewegung auf die Schneide zu, in Fig. 4 also nach oben, drÀngt.The separating elements 33 are formed tapering at its front edge 34. However, the leading edge 34 is dulled so that it can not cut in bills when the cutter 25 'and banknote stack 19 are moved relative to each other to sever the banderole. The leading edges are preferably inclined so that these impact on the Banderole this in the direction transverse to the direction R of the relative movement on the cutting edge, in Fig. 4 so upwards, urges.
Die Aufnahme 24' verfĂŒgt ĂŒber einen als Ablage dienenden Boden 35, der paral- IeI zu der Richtung R und orthogonal zu der Richtung R geneigt ist. Entlang zweier LĂ€ngsbacken 36 sind Halteelemente 37 angeordnet, die auf der von dem Boden 35 wegweisenden Seite nach auĂen, d.h. von einem Aufnahmebereich fĂŒr den Banknotenstapel weg, aufgebogen sind, um ein Einsetzen eines Banknotenstapels 19 in die Aufnahme 24' zu erleichtern.The receptacle 24 'has a shelf 35 which is inclined parallel to the direction R and orthogonal to the direction R. Along two longitudinal jaws 36 holding elements 37 are arranged, which on the side facing away from the bottom 35 to the outside, i. away from a receiving area for the banknote stack, are bent in order to facilitate insertion of a banknote stack 19 into the receptacle 24 '.
An den Enden weist die Aufnahme 24' noch Anschlagelemente 38 auf, die eine Bewegung des Banknotenstapels in der Aufnahme 24' parallel zu der Richtung R begrenzen und so eine Relativbewegung zwischen den Messern 32 und dem Banknotenstapel 19 erst ermöglichen.At the ends, the receptacle 24 'still stop elements 38, which limit a movement of the banknote stack in the receptacle 24' parallel to the direction R and so allow a relative movement between the blades 32 and the banknote stack 19 only.
Der Ablauf des Entbanderolierens, insbesondere des Durchtrennens der Banderole, ist in den Figuren 6 bis 8 nochmals veranschaulicht.The course of Entbanderolierens, in particular the severing of the band, is illustrated again in Figures 6 to 8.
Der Greifer 20, der zwei parallel zueinander ausgerichtet relativ zueinander durch eine Stellvorrichtung 41 zueinander bewegbare Greifelemente aufweist, setzt einen der Ăbersichtlichkeit nicht gezeigten Banknotenstapel 19 in die Aufnahme 24' wĂ€hrend sich der bewegliche Teil der Schneideinrichtung 25', insbesondere der in Fig. 3 gezeigte Teil, einer Ausgangslage befindet, in der die Aufnahme 24' freigegeben ist.The gripper 20, which has two mutually parallel relative to each other by an adjusting device 41 movable gripping elements, sets a banknote stack 19, not shown in the receptacle 24 'while the movable part of the cutting device 25', in particular that shown in Fig. 3 Part, a starting position in which the receptacle 24 'is released.
Der Greifer 20 gibt dann den Banknotenstapel frei, der nur noch in der Aufnahme gehalten ist (vgl. Fig. 7).The gripper 20 then releases the stack of notes, which is held only in the receptacle (see Fig. 7).
Nachdem die Messer 32 in Rotation versetzt wurden, wird der bewegliche Teil der Schneideinrichtung 25' parallel zu den LĂ€ngsbacken 36 der Aufnahme 24' und damit der LĂ€ngskanten der Banknoten des zu entbanderolierenden Bank- notenstapels 19 ĂŒber den Banknotenstapel 19 verfahren, so dass sich eine Relativbewegung R ergibt.After the blades 32 have been set in rotation, the movable part of the cutting device 25 'becomes parallel to the longitudinal jaws 36 of the receptacle 24' and thus the longitudinal edges of the banknotes of the bank to be unbound. note stack 19 method over the banknote stack 19, so that there is a relative movement R.
Die in Bewegungsrichtung vor den Messern 32 hervorstehenden Vorderkanten 34 der Trennelemente 33 trennen jeweils zwei aneinander anliegende Banknoten des Banknotenstapels bzw. drĂ€ngen diese auseinander. Die rotierenden Messer 32 fahren dann in den Zwischenraum zwischen den auseinandergedrĂ€ngten Banknoten und durchtrennen die Banderole, wenn sie auf die Banderole treffen. Gegebenenfalls auftretende KrĂ€fte auf den Banknotenstapel 19 werden durch den in Bewegungsrichtung R liegenden Anschlag 40 aufgefangen. Das Abstreifen erfolgt wie oben geschildert durch die Abstreif einrichtung 26, die hierzu im Beispiel einer der Anzahl der Schneiden bzw. Messer 32 entsprechende, jeweils in der Ebene der Messer 32 angeordnete Zinken 42 als Abstreifer umfaĂt, die relativ zu dem Banknotenstapel bzw. den Banknotenstapeln entgegen der Rich- tung R bewegt werden, um die durchtrennten Banderolen abzustreifen, so dass sie schlieĂlich in einen SammelbehĂ€lter 43 gelangen können.The front edges 34 of the separating elements 33, which project in the direction of movement in front of the knives 32, respectively separate two adjacent banknotes of the banknote stack or force them apart. The rotating blades 32 then move into the space between the discarded bills and sever the banderole as they hit the banderole. If necessary, forces on the banknote stack 19 are absorbed by the stop 40 lying in the direction of movement R. The stripping is carried out as described above by the stripping device 26, which for this purpose in the example of one of the number of blades or blades 32 corresponding, respectively arranged in the plane of the blade 32 tines 42 includes as a scraper, relative to the banknote stack or banknote stacks be moved against the direction R to strip the severed bands so that they can eventually get into a collecting container 43.
Danach wird der bewegliche Teil der Schneideinrichtung 25' wieder in die Ausgangslage zurĂŒckgefahren und der Greifer 20 entnimmt den entbanderolierten Banknotenstapel bzw. die entbanderolierten Banknotenstapel und legt sie in dem Fach 13 ab.Thereafter, the movable part of the cutting device 25 'is moved back into the starting position and the gripper 20 takes the entbanderolierten banknote stack or entbanderolierten banknote stacks and puts them in the tray 13 from.
Ein weiteres AusfĂŒhrungsbeispiel, das teilweise in Fig. 9 gezeigt ist, unterscheidet sich von dem vorhergehenden AusfĂŒhrungsbeispiel durch die Ausbildung der Aufnahme 24". Alle anderen Teile sind unverĂ€ndert, so dass die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet werden und die AusfĂŒhrungen zu den Teilen entsprechend auch hier gelten. Weiter werden fĂŒr gleiche Teil der Aufnahme 26" die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet wie bei der Aufnahme 26' und die ErlĂ€uterungen zu diesen gelten entsprechend. Der wesentliche Unterschied zwischen der Aufnahme 24' und der Aufnahme 24" besteht zum einen darin, dass nun die Halteelemente 37' an den Enden der LĂ€ngsbacken 36, die ansonsten den Halteelementen 37 entsprechen, durch nur teilweise gezeigte Antriebselemente 44, im Beispiel Pneumatikzylinder eines elektrisch steuerbaren Pneumatiksystems, angetrieben in einer Ebene orthogonal zu der Richtung R kippbar an einer der LĂ€ngsbacken 36 gehalten sind und die andere LĂ€ngsbacke 36, in Figur 9 mit 36' bezeichnet, mit den Halteelementen 37 insgesamt durch nur ein nur teilweise gezeigtes Antriebselement 44, im Beispiel einen Pneumatikzylinder eines elektrisch steuerbaren Pneumatiksystems, angetrieben in einer Ebene orthogonal zu der Richtung R kippbar ausgebildet ist. Zum anderen ist die kippbare LĂ€ngsbacke 36' in einer Richtung orthogonal zu der Richtung R linear bewegbar gelagert und durch wenigstens ein weiteres Antriebselement 45, im Beispiel ebenfalls ein elektrisch steuerbarer Pneumatikzylinder, antreibbar.Another embodiment, shown in part in Fig. 9, differs from the previous embodiment in the configuration of the receptacle 24 ". All other parts are unchanged, so that the same reference numerals are used and the remarks on the parts apply mutatis mutandis Further, the same reference numerals are used for the same part of the receptacle 26 "as in the receptacle 26 ', and the explanations thereof apply accordingly. The essential difference between the receptacle 24 'and the receptacle 24 "consists firstly in that now the holding elements 37' at the ends of the longitudinal jaws 36, which otherwise correspond to the holding elements 37, by only partially shown drive elements 44, in the example pneumatic cylinder one controllable pneumatic system, driven in a plane orthogonal to the direction R tiltable on one of the longitudinal jaws 36 are held and the other longitudinal jaw 36, designated in Figure 9 with 36 ', with the holding elements 37 in total by only a partially shown drive element 44, in the example On the other hand, the tiltable longitudinal jaw 36 'is linearly movably mounted in a direction orthogonal to the direction R and by at least one further drive element 45, also in the example an electrically controllable Pneumatikzyl indians, drivable.
Mittels des weiteren Antriebselements 45 kann der Abstand der LĂ€ngsbacken 36, 36' und damit die Weite der Aufnahme 24" entsprechend der Dicke des bzw. der zu entbanderolierenden Banknotenstapel eingestellt werden.By means of the further drive element 45, the distance between the longitudinal jaws 36, 36 'and thus the width of the receptacle 24 "can be adjusted according to the thickness of the banknote stack to be unbanolated.
Die Halteelemente 37' und die Halteelemente 37 an der LĂ€ngsbacke 36' werden vor dem Einsetzen der Banknotenstapel in die Aufnahme 24" so in eine Aufnahmestellung gekippt, dass ihre dem Boden 35 abgewandeten Ende seitlich nach auĂen geneigt sind. In dieser Lage sind die Banknotenstapel auch bei auseinanderstehenden Ende der Banknoten problemlos in die Aufnahme 24" ein- setzbar.The holding elements 37 'and the holding elements 37 on the longitudinal jaw 36' are tilted into a receiving position prior to inserting the banknote stack into the receptacle 24 "in such a way that their end facing away from the bottom 35 is inclined laterally outwards when the banknotes are separated, they can be easily inserted into the receptacle 24 ".
Nach dem Einsetzen werden die Halteelemente 37' bzw. 37 in ein Haltestellung gekippt, in der diese wenigstens nĂ€herungsweise orthogonal zu dem Boden 35 ausgerichtet sind und den bzw. die Banknotenstapel einklemmen. Das eigenĂŒi- che Durchtrennen erfolgt wie in dem vorhergehenden AusfĂŒhrungsbeispiel. In noch einem weiteren AusfĂŒhrungsbeispiel wird statt einer Aufnahme nur eine optionale Ablage, im Beispiel der Boden 35 benutzt. Zum Schneiden werden die Banknotenstapel durch den Greifer 20 gehalten. Dazu sind die Arme 30 der Schneideinrichtung lĂ€nger ausgefĂŒhrt, so dass die Messer 32 die Banderolen durchtrennen können, wĂ€hrend der Greifer 20 die Banknotenstapel hĂ€lt.After insertion, the holding elements 37 'and 37 are tilted into a holding position in which they are aligned at least approximately orthogonal to the bottom 35 and pinch the banknote or stack of notes. The intrinsic cutting takes place as in the previous exemplary embodiment. In yet another embodiment, instead of a receptacle only an optional tray, in the example of the bottom 35 is used. For cutting, the banknote stacks are held by the gripper 20. For this purpose, the arms 30 of the cutting device are made longer, so that the knives 32 can cut through the bands while the gripper 20 holds the pile of banknotes.
Soll noch eine Ausrichtung der Banknotenstapel auf der Ablage 35 erfolgen, kann der Greifer vor dem Durchtrennen kurz geöffnet werden, so dass die Banknotenstapel auf der Ablage 35 aufsitzen, um dann die nun ausgerichteten Stapel wieder einzuklemmen. Das Schneiden erfolgt wie in den vorhergehenden AusfĂŒhrungsbeispielen.If an alignment of the banknote stacks on the tray 35 is to take place, the gripper can be opened briefly before it is severed, so that the banknote stacks are seated on the tray 35 in order then to re-clamp the now aligned stacks. The cutting takes place as in the previous embodiments.
Sind die FĂ€cher 13 so ausgebildet, dass darin befindliche Banknotenstapel hinreichend genau aufeinander ausgerichtet sind, kann die Ablage auch entfallen.If the compartments 13 are designed such that banknote stacks therein are aligned sufficiently precisely with one another, the stowage can also be dispensed with.
Weiter ist als Variante auch denkbar, dass die Schneideinrichtung und die Abstreifeinrichtung stationĂ€r sind, und der Greifer 20 zur DurchfĂŒhrung der Relativbewegung die Banknotenstapel zum Durchtrennen und Abstreifen bewegt. Further, as a variant, it is also conceivable that the cutting device and the stripping device are stationary, and that the gripper 20 moves the banknote stacks for severing and stripping in order to carry out the relative movement.
