Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device for the separation of biatings, in particular banknotes, which is entered as a stack in the device.
• Known machines for the acceptance of sheet material have a device for the separation of sheet material.
• the sheet material to be separated is entered as a loose stack of several pieces of sheet material in the device for singulation.
• the sheet material is input by an operating person into the apparatus for singling in such a way that the individual pieces of sheet material are successively picked up by the apparatus and individually transferred to a transport system for further processing.
• the operator enters the sheet material only partially in the device for the separation of sheet material.
• the stack of sheet material is transported by a transport device completely into the device for the separation. Subsequently, the individual pieces of sheet material, as described above, can be detected by the device for singling and transferred individually to the transport system.
• Object of the present invention is to provide a device for the separation of sheet material, in particular banknotes, which is entered as a stack in the device, specify, in which the above-described problems can be detected and prevented.
• the invention relates to a device for the separation of sheet material, in particular banknotes, which is input as a stack in an input area of the device and transported to a singler that transfers individual pieces of sheet material of the stack of sheet material to a transport system, which conveys the separated sheet material in a transporting direction, wherein a sensor arranged in the transporting direction in front of the separator, which extends substantially across the width of the input area, generates signals indicating whether and in which area of the width of the input area sheet material is present , and wherein a control device which evaluates the signals of the sensor during transport of the stack of sheet material to discloseier and occurring fluctuations and changes in the signals of the sensor on the presence or absence of Blattgut with predetermined thresholds for variations and changes de r signals from the sensor is compared to derive a statement as to whether the sheets forming the stack of sheet material are mutually aligned with respect to their edges from the fluctuations and changes in the signals of the sensor, and whether the stack of sheet material has an orientation substantially parallel to the transport direction of the transport system
• the advantage of the invention is to be seen in particular in that the device for the separation of sheet material, which is input as a stack in the input area of the device, can recognize by means of the evaluation of the signals of the sensor by the control device, whether an input stack of sheet material a has good stacking quality, ie whether the sheet material forming the stack is well aligned with respect to its edges, and whether the stack of sheet material has been entered in total just in the input area, ie whether the stack of sheet material has a good overall alignment, ie in particular an orientation its edges parallel to the transport direction.
• control device controls the verzeier and prevents the separation of the stack of sheet material, if the verification of the signals of the sensor shows that the stack vpn sheet material forming sheets are poorly aligned with respect to their edges to each other or the stack of sheet material has an orientation which deviates from the transport direction of the transport system.
• the development has the advantage that by preventing the separation of the sheet material of stacks of sheet material having a poor orientation, be it the orientation of the sheet to each other or the orientation of the entire stack to the transport direction of the transport system, interference in the further processing of the scattered sheet material can be prevented.
