Definitions

  • the invention relates to a feeder device and method for feeding a stack of value documents, in particular banknotes, to a singler device, a singler module and a system for processing value documents, in particular banknotes.
  • Systems for banknote processing usually comprise a feeder device, which is configured to receive a stack of banknotes and to feed and/or guide same towards a singler device, which is configured to separate individual banknotes from the stack, wherein usually the lowermost banknote of the stack is drawn from the stack.
  • the individual banknotes are then conveyed towards one or more processing modules, which are configured to process, in particular to count and/or examine and/or sort, the banknotes.
  • WO2008139125 A2 discloses a document handling apparatus for sorting, counting, authenticating or otherwise handling documents such as banknotes.
  • US2008018045 A1 discloses a paper feed cassette of an image forming device such as a facsimile machine and a copier.
  • EP1288014 A2 relates to a sheet aligning operation performed when a sheet is treated, e.g., in the field of copying machines, printers and facsimile apparatuses.
  • the object is achieved by a feeder device and method according to the independent claims, a singler module comprising such a feeder device and a system for processing value documents comprising such a singler module.
  • a feeder device for feeding a stack of value documents, in particular banknotes, to a singler device, according to claim 1.
  • a singler module comprises a singler device, which is configured to withdraw individual value documents from a stack of value documents, in particular banknotes, and a feeder device according to the first aspect for feeding the stack of value documents to the singler device.
  • a system for processing value documents, in particular banknotes comprises one or more processing modules configured to process, in particular to transport and/or count and/or examine and/or sort, the value documents and at least one singler module according to the second aspect.
  • aspects of present disclosure are preferably based on the approach of movably mounting the first and second lateral guide element on the stop element via first and second support elements, respectively, which are coupled with each other such that the first and second lateral guide element can only move simultaneously and in opposite directions (which can also be referred to as "counter movement"), and additionally providing, for each lateral guide element, at least one alignment bearing, which is configured to guide the respective lateral guide element on the stop element in a direction parallel to the direction of movement of the lateral guide elements.
  • Such an imbalance of forces may occur, for example, if the first and/or second lateral guide element is manually shifted by touching the respective lateral guide element and/or applying a manual force to a section of the lateral guide element which is not located in the middle between first and second support elements, respectively.
  • the alignment bearings ensure, or at least contribute, that during the adjustment of the width of the lateral guide elements forces on the first and/or second support elements are, preferably equilaterally or equally, distributed between the first and second support elements, respectively.
  • present disclosure provides a feeder device and method, singler module and system for improved handling, robustness and stability.
  • the first alignment bearing comprises one or more first rollers, which are rotatably mounted on the first lateral guide element and guided in a first guide rail provided at the stop element
  • the second alignment bearing comprises one or more second rollers, which are rotatably mounted on the second lateral guide element and guided in a second guide rail provided at the stop element.
  • the first and/or second guide rail is given by an elongated aperture, in particular a slot, provided in the stop element.
  • the first and/or second guide rail is provided at the back side of the stop element. In both cases, guide rails for reliably guiding of the first and/or second rollers are obtained in a simple way.
  • the feeder device comprises at least two first support elements and at least two second support elements.
  • first alignment bearing is positioned between the first support elements, on which the first lateral guide element is mounted, and/or the second alignment bearing, on which the second lateral guide element is mounted, is positioned between the second support elements.
  • first alignment bearing is positioned approximately in the middle between the first support elements and/or the second alignment bearing is positioned approximately in the middle between the second support elements. In this way, guiding of the first and/or second lateral guide element, respectively, and distributing of forces between the support elements is further improved.
  • the first support element in particular a respective one of the first support elements, is positioned relative to the second support element, in particular a respective one of the second support elements, in such a way that toothed racks provided on the respective first and respective second support elements are positioned opposite each other
  • the feeder device further comprises at least one gear wheel which is rotatably mounted on the stop element and engages with the toothed racks provided on the respective first and respective second support elements so as to couple the support elements with each other.
  • the first alignment bearing is positioned at around the middle between the lower and upper ends of the first lateral guide element and/or the second alignment bearing is positioned at around the middle between the lower and upper ends of the second lateral guide element.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an example of a system for processing value documents, in particular banknotes.

  • the edges of value documents at the rear side of the stack 1 - also referred to as "lead edges" of the value documents - abut on the stop element 3.
  • the lower support surface 2 is slightly inclined against the horizontal direction
  • the stop element 3 is slightly inclined against the vertical direction. This facilitates slipping of the received stack 1 towards the stop element 3 due to gravitation to ensure that the lead edges of the value documents abut on the stop element 3.
  • the singler module 10 further comprises a singler device 5 for separating or removing individual value documents from the stack 1.
  • the singler device 5 is configured to separate the respectively lowermost value document from the stack 1.
  • the singler device 5 may comprise one or more rollers and/or conveyor belts interacting such that the respectively lowermost value document is separated from the stack 1.
  • each individual value document is conveyed along a transport path 20 to one or more sensor units 30 which are configured to detect physical properties of the value document and to generate according sensor signals, based on which a control unit 40 controls a subsequent processing of the value document, e.g. ejection into a stacker compartment 50, 51 or destruction in a shredder 52.
  • FIG 2 shows a perspective front view of an example of a singler module comprising a singler device 5 and a feeder device 6, wherein the feeder device 6 comprises a lower support surface 2 for supporting a stack of value documents (not shown, see Figure 1 ) from below, a stop element 3 having a preferably plate-shaped structure and serving as a stop and guide for a rear side of the stack resting on the support surface 2, and two lateral guide elements 4a, 4b provided at the front side of the stop element 3 and serving as lateral guides for opposing lateral sides of the stack.

  • a decouple element e.g., a knob or any other appropriate mean
  • a decouple element is operated to disengage or decouple the support elements 7a, 7b with moving the coupling element or the toothed racks 13a, 13b into disengaged position.

  • the knob or another mean is operated to engage or couple the support elements 7a, 7b and to move the coupling element or the toothed racks 13a, 13b back into engaged position. This enables the lateral guide elements 4a, 4b to be moved or adjusted, particularly only, synchronously in opposite directions while remaining symmetric with respect to the middle of the banknote path.
  • the lateral guide elements 4a, 4b are adjusted to the positions needed for centered feeding.
