Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices for filling transport containers with notes of pecuniary value are not simple, compact, or easy to handle, and they fail to stack notes reliably and securely.
Innovation Solution
A device with a displacement unit that conveys notes of pecuniary value into the transport container in a stacking direction, using a conveying element that abuts against the stack and a holding unit to prevent tipping, combined with a movable frame for secure closure, ensuring reliable and compact operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing devices are used for filling transport containers with notes, then filling can be performed, but the devices are not simple, compact, or easy to handle, and they fail to stack notes reliably
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional modules: a supply unit for providing notes, a stacking unit for forming stacks, a displacement unit for conveying stacks into the container, and a closure unit for sealing. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized independently, improving reliability while keeping the overall device manageable in complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The stacking unit is arranged within the transport container, and the displacement unit is configured to convey stacks from the stacking unit into the container. This nested arrangement eliminates the need for separate external stacking and conveying devices, reducing overall device complexity while ensuring reliable note stacking through integrated functionality
2Device complexity
If existing devices are used for filling transport containers with notes, then filling can be performed, but the devices are not simple or compact
Solution Approach 1:
The displacement unit serves multiple functions: it conveys stacks of notes from the stacking unit into the transport container, positions them accurately, and ensures they are properly arranged. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate conveying and positioning devices, simplifying the overall device while maintaining precise and regular stacking through the integrated unit's designed capabilities
3Ease of operation
If notes are conveyed into the transport container, then the container can be filled, but the device is not easy to handle and closure is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The closure unit is integrated with the displacement unit, allowing the same mechanism that conveys notes into the container to also perform the closure operation. This merging of functions simplifies the device structure and makes operation easier, as the closure is automatically performed as part of the filling process without requiring a separate complex closing mechanism

AI summary
A device (10) for filling a transport container (12) with notes of pecuniary value, has a displacement unit (700) that conveys the notes of pecuniary value into the transport container (12) through a movable frame (16). When the transport container (12) is closed, the displacement unit (700) is in a second operating state in which its cross sectional area is reduced so far that it passes through the partially closed frame (16).
