Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for transporting valuable documents, which has a continuously circulating drive belt, which can be guided around at least two deflection elements. In addition, in one aspect of the invention, freely rotatable guide rollers supported in the device for guiding and / or tensioning the drive belt can be provided. Background Art

[0002] Such a device for transporting valuable documents is, in particular, a component of a device for handling valuable documents, such as an automatic safe-type cash register, an automatic cash register system and / or an automatic teller machine, for example an automatic deposit machine for depositing banknotes and checks, an automatic teller machine for withdrawing banknotes or an automatic recycling machine for depositing and withdrawing banknotes.

[0003] Document WO 2012 / 110629 A1 discloses a device for handling valuable notes, in which a single valuable note or a stack of valuable notes is transported using a circulating, continuous drive belt, which contacts the front and / or back side of the banknotes in order to then transport the banknotes by static friction between the drive belt and the valuable notes as the drive belt moves in a circular motion. The valuable notes are transported between the drive belt and a holding-down and guiding element or between two oppositely arranged drive belts.

[0004] In order to transport vouchers safely with the aid of a circulating belt, the belt must have a predetermined belt tension, in particular when opposing belts or holding-down and guide elements are pressed against the belt. In order to ensure the desired belt tension, guide rollers are known which press against the belt from the inside or from the outside, in particular by means of springs. The problem is that the belt tension weakens over time, in particular due to material fatigue of the belt.

[0005] The driving force that can be transmitted to the driving belt by the driven deflection roller depends essentially on the wrap angle of the driving belt around the deflection roller and the shape / structure, pressing force and friction coefficient of the contact surface of the deflection roller and the driving belt. If the driving belt is driven by another roller abutting against the driving belt instead of the deflection roller or if the other roller is driven by the driving belt, the driving force that can be transmitted there also depends essentially on the wrap angle of the driving belt around the deflection roller and the shape / structure, pressing force and friction coefficient of the contact surface of the other roller and the driving belt. The problem is that the driving belt tension and therefore the pressing force between the driving belt and the deflection roller weaken over time, especially due to material fatigue of the driving belt, and / or the friction coefficient decreases, thereby no longer ensuring the safe driving of the driving belt and therefore the safe transportation of the valuable bills by means of the driving belt. For this reason, the driving belt for transporting valuable bills is replaced regularly and when there is a problem in the device for handling valuable bills. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the invention is to specify a device for transporting documents of value which can be constructed in a simple manner and can be maintained cost-effectively.

[0007] This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1 and by a device having the features of the further independent claims. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

[0008] In a first aspect of the invention, a device for transporting vouchers comprises a freely rotatable guide roller supported in the device, the guide roller having at least one connection region for being received in a receiving opening of the device. The axis of rotation of the guide roller can be received in the receiving opening in a first receiving position of the connection region such that the axis of rotation has a first orthogonal spacing to a plane in which the axis of rotation of a deflection roller for deflecting a continuous drive belt extends. In a second receiving position of the connection region in the receiving opening, the axis of rotation of the tensioning roller has a second orthogonal spacing to this plane. Due to the different spacings between the first receiving position and the second receiving position, the guide roller can only contact the drive belt in the first receiving position and tension the drive belt in the second receiving position or deflect the drive belt by a first section in the first receiving position and by a second section in the second receiving position, thereby generating different tensions for tensioning the drive belt between the first receiving position and the second receiving position.

[0009] The drive belt can thus be re-tensioned simply by simply removing the connecting region from the receiving opening and inserting the receiving region again into the receiving opening. In particular, if a drive belt has been stretched due to wear or aging, such a drive belt can be re-tensioned simply and can continue to be used. It is therefore no longer necessary to replace the drive belt.

[0010] It is particularly advantageous if the axis of rotation of the tensioning roller extends parallel to a plane in which the axis of rotation of the deflection roller is arranged, thereby achieving uniform tensioning of the drive belt over the entire belt width.

[0011] It is particularly advantageous if the connecting region of the guide roller can be inserted into a slotted receiving opening of the device. The slotted receiving opening is in particular provided in a stationary housing element, a frame or a housing of the device. It is particularly advantageous if the connecting region of the guide roller can be inserted into the slotted receiving opening from above. It is also particularly advantageous if the tensioning roller contacts the side surface of the drive belt from the outside at least in the second position. This allows a simple design of the guide roller and simple installation and removal. The drive belt is pressed inwards by the contact from the outside, so that the wrapping angle of adjacent rollers, in particular adjacent deflection rollers, is increased.

[0012] It is also advantageous if the guide rollers, at least in the second position, are pressed from the outside against the side surfaces of the drive belt in such a way that the wrap angle of the drive belt around the at least one deflection roller or around the guide, drive and / or driven roller is larger than in the first position, thereby ensuring a safe drive of the drive belt or a safe drive of the driven roller.

[0013] A second aspect of the invention relates to another device for transporting vouchers, which has a first deflecting roller supported in the device and at least one second deflecting roller supported in the device and a continuous drive belt that circulates around the deflecting rollers. The first deflecting roller has at least one connection area for being accommodated in a receiving opening of the device, wherein the rotation axis of the first deflecting roller has a first spacing from the rotation axis of the second deflecting roller in the receiving opening in a first receiving position of the connection area. In addition, the rotation axis of the first deflecting roller has a second spacing from the rotation axis of the second deflecting roller in the receiving opening in a second receiving position of the connection area. As a result, the spacing between the rotation axes of the deflecting rollers can be easily changed from the first spacing to the second spacing and vice versa, without the need for additional components or other elements. The first deflecting roller must be simply removed from the receiving opening and inserted into the receiving opening in a corresponding other receiving position. As a result, different tensions can be achieved or the drive belt can be re-tensioned.

[0014] In both the device according to the first aspect of the invention and the device according to the second aspect of the invention, the connection region and the receiving opening are designed such that after the connection region has been inserted into the receiving opening, the connection region is received in the receiving opening in a rotationally fixed manner. This allows for simple assembly. Furthermore, this ensures that the connection region cannot be inadvertently moved from the first receiving position into the second receiving position or vice versa.

[0015] It is also advantageous if the connecting region is received in the receiving opening in the second position rotated 180° about the rotation axis of the guide roller or about the rotation axis of the deflection roller compared to the first position. The receiving region preferably remains unchanged, that is to say, no additional components are introduced into the receiving opening nor are components removed from the receiving opening.

[0016] It is also advantageous if the receiving area is designed to be fixed in position in the frame or component of the device. The component can in turn be designed to be movable relative to the frame or frame of the device. This allows a cost-effective design of the device for transporting value documents.

[0017] It is particularly advantageous if at least one, preferably a second, deflecting roller can be driven by means of a drive unit, wherein the other deflecting roller is preferably mounted in a freely rotatable manner. In other embodiments, the second deflecting roller serves as a driven roller for driving a further element or a further structural unit. This allows a simple and cost-effective assembly and a simple design of the device for transporting vouchers.

[0018] The drive belt can be, in particular, a flat belt, a sector belt, a toothed belt or a wedge belt. The valuable notes to be transported can be placed on the drive belt individually or as a stack of valuable notes or arranged between the drive belt and the tensioning roller. This allows a simple structure to be achieved, depending on the application and requirements.

[0019] It is also advantageous if the guide roller or the first deflecting roller comprises a roller element which can rotate freely on the shaft element. It is advantageous if each connecting element is arranged at each end of the shaft element which protrudes laterally from the roller element. The guide roller or the first deflecting roller can thus be supported in a simple manner on both sides, which greatly simplifies the construction of the device and allows the drive belt to be driven with less oscillation and vibration.

[0020] It is particularly advantageous if the roller element is arranged on the shaft element in an axially immovable manner. The guide roller or the first deflecting roller does not move even in the event of transverse forces acting on the drive belt, so that the drive belt is safely guided over the guide roller or the first deflecting roller.

[0021] It is particularly advantageous that the shaft element is composed of at least two parts. The shaft element preferably includes two shaft element parts, wherein the shaft element parts can be introduced into the roller element on one side. Thus, a simple structure and a simple installation of the guide roller or the first deflection roller are achieved. The two shaft element parts are preferably connected to each other in the roller element. This can be achieved in particular by a plug connection, a latch connection, a compression connection, a screw connection and / or a welding connection. Thus, a simple manufacture and a simple installation and, if necessary, removal of the guide roller and the first deflection roller are achieved. It is particularly advantageous that the roller element is freely rotatably arranged on the shaft element by at least one sliding bearing and / or a rolling bearing. Thus, a good running performance of the roller element and therefore a low-loss rotation of the guide roller or the deflection roller are achieved.

[0022] Further features and advantages result from the following description of exemplary embodiments in conjunction with the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Figure 1 1 shows a schematic diagram of a device 10 for handling value documents. The device 10 is in particular an automatic safe deposit machine, an automatic cash register system and / or an automatic teller machine, such as an automatic deposit machine for depositing banknotes and checks.

[0035] Device 10 comprises head module 12 and safe 14. Four valuable ticket boxes 16a to 16d are arranged in safe 14, and valuable tickets can be held in the valuable ticket box. Here, particularly one of the valuable ticket boxes in valuable ticket boxes 16a to 16d is arranged to hold checks and other three valuable ticket boxes 16a to 16d are arranged to hold banknotes. Especially evenly hold banknotes, that is to say, only hold a kind of banknote of denomination in a valuable ticket box 16a to 16d all the time. Alternative mixed storage is also possible, that is to say, mixed holding of valuable tickets of different denominations in a valuable ticket box 16a to 16d. In an alternative embodiment, more than four or less than four, particularly two valuable ticket boxes 16a to 16d can also be set in safe 14. So-called defective box can be set in particular, in which suspected forgery and / or damaged valuable tickets are held. In a preferred embodiment, two voucher cassettes 16a to 16d are provided, namely a voucher cassette for accommodating checks and a voucher cassette for accommodating banknotes.

[0036] The vouchers can be accommodated in the voucher cassettes 16a to 16d either in the form of a stack in the accommodation area or wound between two film strips on a roller storage. Different types of voucher cassettes can also be used in the safe 14.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the device 10 can be configured as a pure deposit device, in which only valuable documents can be accommodated. Alternatively, the device can also be configured as a recycling device, into which valuable documents can be fed and which can be discharged again.

[0038] The head module 12 has an input and output unit 36, through which the notes of value in the form of stacks of notes of value can be input. In addition, individual notes of value and / or stacks of notes of value can also be output again to the operator of the device 10 via this input and output unit 36. The input and output unit 36 ​​has in particular a so-called shutter 38, by which an opening for conveying and outputting notes of value can be opened and closed.

[0039] The safe 14 has a transfer slot 18 through which the vouchers are fed from the head module 12 to the safe 14. From the transfer slot 18, the vouchers are transported to the voucher boxes 16a to 16d via a transport path denoted by reference numeral 22. The transport path 22 is formed by a plurality of transport units 24 to 28.

[0040] The head module 12 also includes a control unit for controlling the components of the device 10, in particular for controlling the drive units of the transport units 24 to 28. In addition, the head module 12 also includes an output unit 32, in particular for displaying information, and an input unit 34, in particular for inputting information, which are connected to the control unit 30. The input unit 34 and the output unit 32 serve as a human-machine interface.

[0041] Figure 2 Shows the Figure 1 The device 10 comprises a transport unit 24 for transporting documents of value.

[0042] The transport unit 24 comprises a driven first deflecting roller 40 and a non-driven second deflecting roller 42, around which a circulating transport belt 44 for transporting a not shown voucher is guided. The transport unit 24 also comprises a plurality of freely rotatable guide rollers 46 to 56, which contact the circulating drive belt 44 at the inner side of the drive belt, and freely rotatable guide rollers 58 to 62, which contact at least the outer side of the continuous drive belt 44 only when no voucher is transported in the transport path 22 formed by the drive belt 44 and the guide rollers 58 to 62 and by the guide elements 64, 66. The transport unit 24 has a frame surrounding the guide elements 64, 66. Depending on the arrangement of the guide rollers 58 to 62, in a receiving opening 68 to 72 provided in the frame of the transport unit 24, the guide rollers 58 to 62 only contact the outer circumference of the drive belt 44 or tension the drive belt 44 by a corresponding deflection of the drive belt 44. In the guide rollers 58 to 62 Figure 2 In the arrangement shown in , the guide rollers deflect the drive belt 44 toward the interior space surrounded by the drive belt 44 by contact of the guide rollers 58 to 62 on the outside of the drive belt 44, so that the drive belt 44 is tensioned. By deflecting the drive belt 44, this drive belt is pressed into the area between the guide rollers 46 and 48 by the guide roller 58, into the area between the guide rollers 48 and 50 by the guide roller 60, and into the area between the guide rollers 54 and 56 by the guide roller 62, so that the surrounding angle of the drive belt 44 is enlarged both for the inner guide rollers 46, 48, 50, 54, 56 and for the outer guide rollers 58, 60, 62.

[0043] The transport unit 24 further comprises a removal unit 74 for removing documents of value from the cassette 16 d and a removal unit 76 for removing documents of value from the cassette 16 c .

[0044] If in other embodiments the vouchers are to be deposited only with the aid of the device 10, then the units 74, 76 are constructed as conveying units and, in the construction of the device 10 as a recycling device for depositing vouchers and paying them out again, are constructed as conveying and removal units for conveying vouchers into the corresponding boxes 16c, 16d and for removing vouchers from the corresponding boxes 16c, 16d.

[0045] Figure 3 Shows the Figure 2 1 , a first partial view of a transport unit 24, in which guide rollers 54, 56, 62 and a drive belt 44 are shown. The guide rollers 58 to 62 each have a roller element that can rotate freely on an axle element, wherein an axle end of each axle element that protrudes laterally from the roller element serves as a connection area. The roller element is arranged on the axle element in particular in a manner that it cannot move in the axial direction. The axle end is designed in such a way that it can be moved in the axle direction. Figure 2 and 3 In the position shown, insertion into the receiving openings 68 to 72 of the frame of the transport unit 24 is also possible in a position rotated by 180° about the rotation axis 78. In the position rotated by 180°, the rotation axis 78 is arranged further away from the drive belt 44, so that the side surface of the guide roller 62 is also arranged further away from the rotation axes 80, 82 of the guide rollers 54, 56. The guide roller 62 therefore does not press the drive belt 44 into the area between the guide rollers 54, 56, so that the drive belt is not so stretched.

[0046] Figure 4 Shows the Figure 2 A second partial view of a transport unit of FIG. 4 , wherein the guide rollers 62 are shown in a perspective view without the drive belt 44. Figure 4 It can be clearly seen that the connecting region of the guide roller 62 formed by the shaft ends 84, 86 is arranged in the receiving region 72, 88. The guide roller 62 can be removed from the receiving region 72, 88. The connecting region, that is to say the shaft ends 84, 86, can then be rotated together by 180° and then inserted again into the receiving opening 72, 88, wherein the guide roller 62 is then arranged deeper in the guide element 66, so that the side surface of the guide roller 62 then only contacts the outer circumference of the drive belt 44 and the drive belt 44 is no longer tensioned. Each of the guide rollers 58 to 62 can be arranged either in Figure 2In the position shown, the corresponding guide rollers 58 to 62 now tension the drive belt 44, or are arranged in a position with a connection area rotated by 180°, in which case the guide rollers only contact the drive belt 44. Thus, a total of four different drive belt tensions can be achieved with three guide rollers 58 to 62.

[0047] Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of the guide roller 62 is shown. The structure of the guide roller 62 is identical to that of the guide rollers 58, 60. The roller element 96 is arranged on the shaft element 98 in a freely rotatable manner, wherein the shaft element 98 is assembled from two shaft element parts 89, 90. A boss 92, 94 is formed in each shaft element part 89, 90, by which an axial displacement of the roller element 96 is prevented. In order to assemble the guide roller 62, the shaft element parts 89, 90 are introduced into the hollow roller element 96 from each side and are preferably connected to each other. Alternatively, the shaft element parts 89, 90 can also be only loosely nested in each other and, after being accommodated in the receiving openings 72, 88, are held in these receiving openings in such a way that they cannot move out of the roller element 96 in the direction of the axis of rotation 78.

[0048] Each shaft end 84, 86 of the shaft element parts 89, 90 projects laterally from the roller element 96. The shaft ends 84, 86 form a connection region of the shaft element 98, respectively.

[0049] The connecting regions 84, 86 are designed so that they are Figures 2 to 5 The positions shown are also Figure 6 Insertion into the receiving openings 72 , 88 is possible in the position shown, which is rotated by 180° about the axis of rotation 78 .

[0050] exist Figure 7 , a side view of a transport unit 24 is shown, wherein guide rollers 100, 102, 104 known from the prior art are inserted into the receiving openings 68 to 72, which guide rollers can be removed from the receiving openings 68, 70, 72 in the direction of arrows P1, P2 and P3 and replaced by guide rollers 58, 60, 62 in order to increase the belt tension of the drive belt 44, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in .

[0051] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of a total of four contact positions of guide rollers 62, 106, which can be inserted into receiving openings 72, 88, for example. In variant 4, guide rollers 62 are arranged at Figure 6 In the position shown, in which the guide roller 62 contacts only the drive belt 44, and in variant 2 is arranged Figure 2 , 35, in which the guide rollers tension the drive belt 44. The guide roller 62 can be replaced by another guide roller 106 with a larger outer diameter, as shown in variants 1 and 3. In variant 3, the guide roller 106 tensions the drive belt 44 differently from variant 4, but not as strongly as in variant 2. If the position of the guide roller 106 is changed by rotating the connecting region of the guide roller 106 by 180°, the drive belt 44 is tensioned more strongly than in variants 2 and 3, so that a total of four different contact planes L1 to L4 are obtained by means of two guide rollers 62, 106, whose positions can be changed respectively, so that four tensioning states of the drive belt 44 can be produced.

[0052] The position of the axis of rotation is shifted in variants 3 and 4 by an amount compared to variants 1 and 2. .

[0053] Fig. 9 Shows three guide rollers and a drive belt pressed against each other Figure 8 Schematic arrangement in the first position of variant 3. For example, guide rollers 54, 56 and 106 and drive belt 44 are selected. Fig. 9 In the position shown in , the drive belt 44 has a contact region 110 with the guide roller 54 , a contact region 112 with the guide roller 56 , and a contact region 114 with the guide roller 106 .
