Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport unit for a device for handling notes of value, as well as a method for removing a jam of notes of value in the transport unit.
  • valuables jams can occur when valuables are transported within the device. For example, valuables jams occur when one or more valuables become jammed or are pulled diagonally in the device's transport unit. A valuables jam can then lead to a transport path in the device's transport unit being blocked.
  • banknote jams can be largely avoided by generously dimensioning the transport paths of the device.
  • the transport paths can be designed so that they are high enough to be able to transport crumpled banknotes without causing a banknote jam. This also makes it possible to transport several banknotes that could not be separated safely along the transport paths without causing banknote jams.
  • a transport unit for a device for handling notes of value comprises a first transport path limiting element and a second transport path limiting element, which are arranged and spaced apart from one another in such a way that a transport path is formed between the transport path limiting elements and notes of value can be transported along the transport path. Furthermore, the transport unit comprises at least one sensor, which is designed is to recognize at least one security feature of the notes of value transported along the transport path.
  • the transport unit comprises at least one guide element which is arranged movably and is movable at least between two positions, wherein the guide element in a first position is arranged at least partially in the transport path and is further designed to limit the height of the transport path in a detection area of the sensor to a first distance, wherein the guide element in a second position is not arranged in the transport path.
  • the transport path limitation elements are located in particular opposite the front or back of the security note.
  • the guide element allows a note of value to be guided particularly close to the sensor during transport along the transport route.
  • the detection area of the sensor is directed at the transport path at least through an opening of the first transport path limiting element. In this way, security features of the note of value can be determined particularly precisely and reliably.
  • the senor is a magnetic sensor. This allows magnetic security features of the note of value, in particular magnetic inks, to be detected.
  • the senor is arranged flush with a side of the first transport path limiting element facing the transport path. This ensures safe transport of the notes of value along the transport path.
  • the guide element in the first position extends into the transport path through at least one opening of the second transport path limiting element. This allows the guide element to be arranged in the transport path opposite the sensor and to guide notes of value close to the sensor.
  • the second transport path limiting element is set back from the transport path in the area of the opening, in particular is concave, and the guide element in its second position is arranged at least partially flush with a side of the second transport path limiting element facing the transport path in the area.
  • the guide element can therefore variably either form a bottleneck or open up the transport path.
  • a contact area of the guide element for contact with the note of value is arranged to be movable transverse to a transport direction of the notes of value along the transport path between the first and the second position, in particular the guide element extends substantially across a width of the transport path transverse to Transport direction. Furthermore, the contact area has a convex shape, particularly on the side facing the transport path. This allows the note of value to be guided past the sensor particularly safely during transport along the transport path, especially when the guide element is in its first position.
  • the guide element is held in the first position by means of a spring force exerted by a spring element or is spring-mounted. This allows the guide element to be moved, in particular by bent notes of value or in the case of multiple withdrawals, thus preventing a jam of notes of value in the area of the guide element.
  • the guide element can be moved at least into the second position with the help of a lifting magnet. This allows the guide element to be moved particularly flexibly.
  • the guide element can be moved at least between the first position and the second position using a motor. This allows the guide element to be moved particularly flexibly.
  • the senor and the guide element are arranged along a plane transversely or perpendicularly to the transport path.
  • the detection range of the sensor also extends over at least part of the width of the transport path. This ensures that the note of value is guided past the sensor particularly safely during transport along the transport path.
  • the first distance has a value in a range of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, in particular 1 mm. In particular, this also corresponds to a distance between the sensor and the guide element or the contact area of the guide element. This enables the security features of the note of value to be recognized particularly precisely by the sensor.
  • the first transport path limiting element is spaced from the second transport path limiting element by a distance in a range of 2 mm to 4 mm, preferably in a range of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, in particular 3 mm. This prevents banknote jams.
  • the first transport path limiting element is spaced from the second transport path limiting element in a first transport path region arranged in the transport direction in front of the detection region of the sensor by a distance in a range of 2 mm to 4 mm, preferably in a range of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, in particular of 3 mm, and wherein the first transport path limiting element is spaced from the second
  • the transport path limiting element has a distance in a range of 1 mm to 2 mm, in particular 1.5 mm, in a second transport path area arranged in the transport direction after the detection area. This enables additional sensors in the transport direction after the guide element to particularly reliably determine features of the note of value.
  • the transport unit preferably comprises a second sensor which is designed to detect at least one security feature of notes of value transported through the second transport path area.
  • the second sensor can in particular be an optical sensor. This enables a particularly secure check of the note of value.
  • the transport unit includes drive elements for transporting the notes of value along the transport path.
  • transport elements such as driven rollers or wheels, can protrude into the transport path through the transport path limiting elements, in particular on both sides. This enables particularly safe transport of the notes of value along the transport path.
  • a further aspect relates to a method for removing a banknote jam in a transport unit, comprising the following steps: Determining a banknote jam with at least one banknote along a transport path of the transport unit; Moving a guide element of the transport unit from a first position within the transport path to a second position outside the transport path; and transporting the note of value against a transport direction.
  • step a) of the method if a parameter of a drive motor for transporting the banknote along the transport path deviates from an average value or if after a predetermined time the banknote is not detected by a sensor arranged downstream of the transport unit in the transport direction. This allows a banknote jam to be determined reliably and quickly.
  • a further aspect relates to a device for handling notes of value comprising at least one transport unit with a guide element with the aforementioned features.
  • the device for handling notes of value comprises a control unit which is designed and configured to control at least the guide element according to the method.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic side view of a device 100 for handling notes of value.
  • the device 100 serves both for the deposit of notes of value by an operator and for the withdrawal of notes of value to an operator and is also referred to as a recycling cash machine.
  • the device 100 can also serve exclusively for the withdrawal of notes of value or the deposit of notes of value.
  • the device 100 can be an automatic cash register system, a self-checkout cash register or a so-called automatic safe cash register.
  • the device 100 comprises a safe 10 in which four cash boxes 12a to 12d are arranged and which protects the cash boxes 12a to 12d from unauthorized access, in particular from theft and attempts at manipulation.
  • the safe 10 has a safe door 34 which can be opened and closed via a locking unit 36.

  • the cash boxes 12a to 12d are in the embodiment according to Figure 1 arranged horizontally in the device 100. In other devices for handling notes of value, the cash cassettes 12a to 12d can alternatively be arranged vertically.
  • the cash boxes 12a to 12d can be removed from the device 100 and are used for storing and transporting notes of value, in particular banknotes and/or checks.
  • the notes of value are stored in the cash boxes 12a to 12d in the form of a stack. One of these stacks is indicated in the first cash box 12a, for example.
  • One of the notes of value in this stack of notes of value is designated, for example, with the reference number 13.
  • the notes of value 13 in the cash cassettes 12a to 12d are arranged standing on one of their edges, preferably on one of their longitudinal edges.
  • Each cash box 12a to 12d has an opening for feeding in notes of value 13 and for removing notes of value 13.
  • a separating and stacking unit 14a to 14d is arranged, with the help of which, on the one hand, notes of value 13 can be fed into the cash boxes 12a to 12d and on the other hand, notes of value 13 stored in the cash boxes 12a to 12d can be separated from stacks of notes of value held in the cash boxes 12a to 12d and removed from the cash box 12a to 12d.
  • each separating and stacking unit 14a to 14d there is a switch 16a to 16d, with the help of which a note of value 13 to be fed to the cash boxes 12a to 12d is branched off from a transport path 18 and fed to the separating and stacking unit 14a to 14d that is arranged in front of the cash box 12a to 12d into which the note of value 13 is to be transported.
  • the switches 16a to 16d also serve to transport the notes of value 13 taken from the cash boxes 12a to 12d to the transport path 18.
  • the safe 10 also has an opening 20 through which notes of value 13 transported along the transport path 18 can be transported into or out of the safe 10.
  • the device 100 further comprises an input and output compartment 22 through which notes of value 13 to be deposited can be issued to an operator by an operator.
  • notes of value 13 to be deposited can be issued to an operator by an operator.
  • only notes of value 13 are dispensed via the input and output compartment 22, and in the case of a pure depositing ATM, only notes of value 13 are deposited via the input and output compartment 22.
  • the notes of value 13 deposited via the input and output compartment 22 are separated and fed individually along the transport path 24 to a reading unit 26, with the help of which, for example, the authenticity, the nominal value and/or the Serial number of each deposited voucher 13 can be determined.
  • vouchers 13 that have been deposited and/or are to be paid out can be temporarily stored in a buffer 30.
  • the buffer 30 can temporarily store vouchers 13 that are not suitable for payment and/or vouchers 13 that have been deposited and identified as not genuine by the reading unit 26 or vouchers 13 that have not been removed by an operator.
  • Jams of notes of value can occur particularly when notes of value that are already in circulation and are crumpled, dirty or stuck together are transported along the transport paths 18, 24.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of a transport unit 200, in particular for the device 100 for handling notes of value.
  • the transport unit 200 can be arranged, for example, along one of the transport paths 18, 24.
  • the transport unit 200 can be part of the reading unit 26, which serves to recognize security features of the notes of value 13.
  • the transport unit 200 comprises a first transport path limiting element 202 and a second transport path limiting element 204, between which a transport path 206 is formed.
  • notes of value 13 can be transported in particular in a transport direction along the arrow P1.
  • the transport unit 200 comprises a guide element 208, which is arranged in a Figure 2 shown first position through an opening of the second transport path delimiting element 204 into the transport path 206.
  • the transport unit 200 comprises at least one sensor 210 which can detect security features of the notes of value 13 transported along the transport path 206.
  • the senor 210 is arranged in an opening of the first transport path delimiting element 202 so that the sensor 210 is arranged flush with a side of the first transport path delimiting element 202 facing the transport path 206.
  • the sensor 210 is thus arranged opposite the guide element 208 with respect to the transport path 206.
  • a detection area of the sensor 210 is located in the transport path 206.
  • the first transport path limiting element 202 has a distance 211 from the second transport path limiting element 204 in a range of 2 mm to 4 mm, preferably in a range of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, in particular 3 mm.
  • a contact area 212 of the guide element 208 is spaced apart from a side of the sensor 210 facing the transport path 206, in particular in the detection area of the sensor 210, or the side of the first transport path limiting element 202 facing the transport path 206, in a range of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, in particular 1 mm.
  • the distance is identified by reference numeral 214.
  • the distance 214 between the sensor 210 and the guide element 208 in its first position is in particular smaller than the distance between the transport path limiting elements 202, 204.

  • notes of value 13 to be transported are, for example, heavily bent or if several notes of value 13 are transported at once along the transport path 206 due to multiple withdrawals, can there be fundamentally undesirable contact with the elements 202, 204, 208, 210. Due to the reduced distance 214 compared to the distance 211, it is therefore possible that notes of value 13 get stuck at this bottleneck and a jam of notes of value occurs.
  • the reduced distance 214 is necessary in order to reliably detect or read security features of the notes of value 13 with the aid of the sensor 210.
