DE 10 2009 053 155 A1 and DE 10 2011 000 790 A1 in each case a device, the notes of value can be fed, and the supplied notes of value can be removed stacked in a transport container.

Aus dem Dokument GB 2 489 694 A ist eine Vorrichtung zum Befüllen dünnwandiger Transportbehälter für Banknoten bekannt, bei dem ein Kontaktsensor vorgesehen ist, der ein Signal erzeugt, wenn der Boden des Behälters eine Lage erreicht hat, in der der Behälter vollständig befüllt ist.From the document GB 2 489 694 A a device for filling thin-walled transport containers for banknotes is known, in which a contact sensor is provided which generates a signal when the bottom of the container has reached a position in which the container is completely filled.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum Befüllen eines dünnwandigen Transportbehälters mit Wertscheinen anzugeben, bei der auf einfache Weise ermittelt werden kann, wenn der dünnwandige Transportbehälter vollständig befüllt ist.It is an object of the invention to provide a device for filling a thin-walled transport container with notes of value, can be determined in a simple way when the thin-walled transport container is completely filled.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Die Wertscheine werden in Stapeln von einem oder mehreren Wertscheinen so in den dünnwandigen Transportbehälter eingeführt, dass sie sich beim Zuführen in dessen Eintrittsbereich im Behälterquerschnitt befinden und der dem Transportbehälter im ersten Füllschritt als erstes zugeführte Wertschein flächig am Boden des Transportbehälters anliegt. Jeder folgende Füllschritt, mit dem dem Transportbehälter weitere Wertscheine zugeführt werden, erhöht den gesamten Wertscheinstapel im Transportbehälter. Hierbei wird von der Stopfeinheit der oberste Wertschein des im jeweiligen Füllschritt zugeführten Wertscheinstapels an einer bei jedem Füllschritt gleichen Position abgelegt, wodurch der Wertscheinstapel im Transportbehälter den Boden des Transportbehälters immer tiefer in eine Aufnahmeeinheit zum Aufnehmen des Transportbehälters hineinbewegt. Die Aufnahmeeinheit umfasst einen Kontaktsensor, der bei Kontakt mit dem Boden des Transportbehälters ein Signal erzeugt. Eine Verschlusseinheit verschließt daraufhin den Transportbehälter in Abhängigkeit von diesem Signal.The notes of value are introduced in stacks of one or more banknotes in the thin-walled transport container that they are in the inlet area in the container cross-section and the transport container in the first filling step as the first supplied value note lies flat against the bottom of the transport container. Each subsequent filling step, with which the transport container further notes of value are supplied, increases the entire value note stack in the transport container. In this case, the topmost banknote of the value-added stack supplied in the respective filling step is deposited by the tamping unit at a position which is the same for each filling step, whereby the value-note stack in the transport container moves the bottom of the transport container ever deeper into a receiving unit for receiving the transport container. The receiving unit includes a contact sensor that generates a signal upon contact with the bottom of the shipping container. A closure unit then closes the transport container in response to this signal.

Vorzugsweise besteht der dünnwandige Transportbehälter aus schlaffem Material, beispielsweise Folienmaterial. Ein Transportbehälter aus diesem Material passt sich besonders gut dem sich in ihm befindlichen Wertscheinstapel an und ist durch einfache Maßnahmen, beispielsweise Verschweißen oder Verkleben, revisionssicher verschließbar. Der Kontaktsensor umfasst einen Stab, der um seine Längsachse drehbar gelagert ist. Der Stab hat eine erste Dreh-Position, in der der Kontaktsensor kein Signal erzeugt und eine zweite Dreh-Position, in der der Kontaktsensor ein Signal erzeugt. Kommt der Kontaktsensor mit dem Boden des Transportbehälters in Kontakt, so dreht sich der Stab von der ersten Dreh-Position in die zweite Dreh-Position. Die Lage des Bodens des Transportbehälters innerhalb der Aufnahmeeinheit ist ein geeigneter Parameter zur Füllstandsbestimmung des Transportbehälters mit Wertscheinen, weil der dem Transportbehälter zuerst zugeführte Wertschein immer am Boden des Transportbehälters anliegt. In nachfolgenden Füllschritten wird der zuerst zugeführte Wertschein durch die Stopfeinheit weitergeschoben.Preferably, the thin-walled transport container made of flaccid material, such as film material. A transport container made of this material adapts particularly well to the value-added stack located in it and can be closed in a revision-proof manner by simple measures, for example welding or gluing. The contact sensor comprises a rod which is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis. The rod has a first rotational position in which the contact sensor generates no signal and a second rotational position in which the contact sensor generates a signal. When the contact sensor comes into contact with the bottom of the transport container, the rod rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position. The position of the bottom of the transport container within the receiving unit is a suitable parameter for determining the filling level of the transport container with banknotes, because the value added ticket first supplied to the transport container always rests on the bottom of the transport container. In subsequent filling steps, the first supplied note of value is pushed through the stuffing unit.

In bevorzugten Ausführungen hat der Stab an seinem ersten Stabende eine Kontaktfahne, die bei Kontakt mit dem Transportbehälter den Stab aus der ersten in die zweite Dreh-Position dreht. Weiterhin hat der Stab an seinem zweiten Stabende eine Schaltfahne, die in der zweiten Dreh-Position die Signalerzeugung auslöst. Dies geschieht beispielsweise dadurch, dass die Schaltfahne in der zweiten Dreh-Position den Lichtstrahl einer Lichtschranke unterbricht.In preferred embodiments, the rod has at its first rod end a contact lug which, when in contact with the transport container, rotates the rod from the first to the second rotational position. Furthermore, the rod has at its second end of the rod a switching flag, which triggers the signal generation in the second rotational position. This happens, for example, in that the switching flag interrupts the light beam of a light barrier in the second rotary position.

In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist eine Drehfeder vorgesehen, die den Stab in die erste Dreh-Position dreht und gegen deren Widerstand der Stab in die zweite Dreh-Position drehbar ist. Dadurch wird zum Einen effektiv vermieden, dass das Signal zum Verschließen des Transportbehälters vorzeitig ausgelöst wird. Zum anderen wird nach einem Entfernen des verschlossenen Transportbehälters aus der Aufnahmeeinheit der Stab wieder automatisch in die erste Dreh-Position gedreht.In one embodiment of the invention, a torsion spring is provided which rotates the rod in the first rotational position and against the resistance of the rod is rotatable in the second rotational position. On the one hand, this effectively prevents the signal for closing the transport container is triggered prematurely. On the other hand, once the sealed transport container has been removed from the receiving unit, the rod is again automatically rotated into the first rotational position.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Transportbehälter nach der Signalerzeugung mit einem finalen Füllschritt letztmalig mit Wertscheinen befüllt wird und erst anschließend die Verschlusseinheit den Transportbehälter verschließt. Auf diese Weise wird es der Stopfeinheit ermöglicht, den im finalen Füllschritt zugeführten Wertscheinstapel bis zu einem Ort vorzuschieben, derart, dass die Verschlusseinheit den Transportbehälter leicht und sicher verschließen kann.It is advantageous if the transport container is filled after the signal generation with a final filling step for the last time with banknotes and only then closes the closure unit the transport container. In this way it is possible for the stuffing unit to feed the value-added stack fed in the final filling step up to a location such that the closure unit can close the transport container easily and securely.

In this case, the closure unit 22 comprises a first subunit 24 and a second subunit 26, which closes the transport container 18 interact.

Figur 2 zeigt die Aufnahmeeinheit 16 und die Verschlusseinheit 22 nach Figur 1 mit dem dünnwandigen Transportbehälter 18 aus schlaffem Material, vorzugsweise Kunststofffolie. Der Transportbehälter 18 ist so in der Aufnahmeeinheit 16 angeordnet, dass seine einzige Öffnung 28 zur Stapeleinheit 14 ausgerichtet ist. Bei einem Füllschritt verschiebt die Stopfeinheit 20 die in der Stapeleinheit 14 gestapelten Wertscheine in den Transportbehälter 18. Dabei ist der Wertscheinstapel so ausgerichtet, dass die Wertscheine mit ihrer Fläche annähernd parallel zum der Öffnung 28 gegenüberliegenden Boden des Transportbehälters 18 ausgerichtet sind. Dies hat zur Folge, dass der zugeführte Wertscheinstapel passend zu einem Wertscheinstapel ausgerichtet ist, der beim vorhergehenden Füllschritt in den Transportbehälter 18 befördert wurde und die Stapelhöhe der gesamten Wertscheine im Transportbehälter vergrößert, also den Abstand zwischen dem Boden des Transportbehälters 18 und dem dem Transportbehälter 18 zuletzt zugeführten Wertschein. Somit werden bei einem Füllschritt sowohl der sich bereits im Transportbehälter 18 befindliche Wertscheinstapel als auch der von der Stapeleinheit 14 aus zugeführte Wertscheinstapel bewegt, d.h. sie erfahren relativ zur Öffnung 28 eine Ortsveränderung. Insbesondere werden beide Wertscheinstapel tiefer in den Transportbehälter 18 hineingeschoben. FIG. 2 shows the receiving unit 16 and the closure unit 22 after FIG. 1 with the thin-walled transport container 18 of flaccid material, preferably plastic film. The transport container 18 is arranged in the receiving unit 16, that its only opening 28 is aligned with the stacking unit 14. In a filling step, the stuffing unit 20 shifts the stacked in the stacking unit 14 Notes of value in the transport container 18. In this case, the value note stack is aligned so that the notes of value are aligned with their surface approximately parallel to the opening 28 opposite bottom of the transport container 18. This has the consequence that the added value note stack is aligned with a value note stack that was transported in the previous filling step in the transport container 18 and the stack height of the entire notes in the transport container increases, ie the distance between the bottom of the transport container 18 and the transport container 18th last delivered security. Thus, in a filling step, both the value-dept stack already located in the transport container 18 and the value-dept stack supplied by the stacking unit 14 are moved, ie they undergo a change in location relative to the opening 28. In particular, both value note stacks are pushed deeper into the transport container 18.

Figur 3 zeigt eine schematische Ansicht einer Rückseite 30 der Aufnahmeeinheit 16. Ein auf der Rückseite 30 angeordneter Kontaktsensor 32 löst bei Kontakt mit dem Boden des Transportbehälters 18 ein Signal zum Verschließen des Transportbehälters 18 aus. Der Kontaktsensor 32 umfasst einen Stab 34, eine Kontaktfahne 36, eine Schaltfahne 38, und eine Drehfeder 40. Die nahe einem ersten Stabende 42 des Stabes 34 angeordnete Kontaktfahne 36 ragt durch eine Aussparung 44 ins Innere der Aufnahmeeinheit 16. Wird bei einem Füllschritt der sich im Transportbehälter 18 befindliche Wertscheinstapel so tief in die Aufnahmeeinheit 16 hineingeschoben, dass dieser den Boden des Transportbehälters 18 gegen die Kontaktfahne 36 drückt, wird die Kontaktfahne 36 aus dem Innenraum der Aufnahmeeinheit 16 herausgedreht und dadurch auch der drehfest mit der Kontaktfahne 36 verbundene Stab 34 gedreht. FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of a rear side 30 of the receiving unit 16. A arranged on the back 30 contact sensor 32 triggers in contact with the bottom of the transport container 18, a signal for closing the transport container 18. The contact sensor 32 comprises a rod 34, a contact lug 36, a switching lug 38, and a torsion spring 40. The contact lug 36 arranged near a first rod end 42 of the rod 34 projects through a recess 44 into the interior of the receiving unit 16 in the transport container 18 value note stack pushed so deep into the receiving unit 16, that this the bottom of the transport container 18 presses against the contact lug 36, the contact lug 36 is rotated out of the interior of the receiving unit 16 and thereby rotatably connected to the contact lug 36 rod 34 is rotated.

Nahe dem dem ersten Stabende 42 gegenüberliegenden zweiten Stabende 46 ist die Schaltfahne 38 drehfest mit dem Stab 34 verbunden. Somit bewirkt eine Drehung des Stabes 34 eine Drehung der Schaltfahne 38 aus einer ersten in eine zweite Dreh-Position. In der zweiten Dreh-Position löst die Schaltfahne 38 einen Kontakt aus, der ein Signal erzeugt, auf das hin die Verschlusseinheit 22 den dünnwandigen Transportbehälter 18 vorzugsweise revisionssicher verschließt. Der Kontakt ist beispielsweise eine Lichtschranke, deren Lichtstrahl von der Schaltfahne 38 unterbrochen wird.Near the first rod end 42 opposite the second rod end 46, the switching flag 38 is rotatably connected to the rod 34. Thus, rotation of the rod 34 causes rotation of the switch flag 38 from a first to a second rotational position. In the second rotational position, the switching lug 38 triggers a contact which generates a signal to which the closure unit 22 preferably closes the thin-walled transport container 18 in a manner that is tamper-proof. The contact is for example a light barrier whose light beam is interrupted by the switching flag 38.

Die Drehfeder 40 ist mit einem Ende mit der Rückseite 30 und dem anderen Ende mit der Kontaktfahne 36 verbunden und ist so vorgespannt, dass sie auf den Stab 34 ein Drehmoment ausübt, das den Stab 34 in die erste Dreh-Position dreht. Das Drehmoment ist dabei so gewählt, dass der Stab 34 gegen dieses Drehmoment in die zweite Dreh-Position drehbar ist, wenn der Transportbehälter 18 und die Kontaktfahne 36 in Kontakt kommen.The torsion spring 40 is connected at one end to the back 30 and the other end to the contact lug 36 and is biased to apply torque to the rod 34 which rotates the rod 34 to the first rotational position. The torque is chosen so that the rod 34 is rotatable against this torque in the second rotational position when the transport container 18 and the contact lug 36 come into contact.

Figur 4 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung des Stabes 34 des Kontaktsensors 32. An der Kontaktfahne 36 ist an der dem ersten Stabende 42 zugewandten Seite eine Kontaktfläche 50 ausgebildet, die vom Boden des Transportbehälters 18 verdreht wird. Die Kontaktfläche 50 verläuft schräg zur Längsachse des Stabes 34, so dass eine Linearbewegung des Transportbehälters 18 in eine Drehbewegung des Stabes 34 umgesetzt wird. FIG. 4 shows a schematic representation of the rod 34 of the contact sensor 32. At the contact lug 36 at the first rod end 42 side facing a contact surface 50 formed, which is rotated from the bottom of the transport container 18. The contact surface 50 extends obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the rod 34, so that a linear movement of the transport container 18 is converted into a rotational movement of the rod 34.

Figur 5 zeigt eine perspektivische schematische Ansicht der Kontaktfahne 36 nach Figur 4. Die Kontaktfahne 36 umfasst die schräg verlaufende Kontaktfläche 50 an einem Ausleger 52 und eine Befestigungsvorrichtung 54. Mit der Befestigungsvorrichtung 54 wird die Kontaktfahne 36 beispielsweise durch Klemmen mit dem Stab 34 drehfest verbunden. Dazu umfasst die Kontaktfahne 36 geeignete Mittel, im Ausführungsbeispiel eine Bohrung 56 mit einem Durchmesser, der eine Presspassung zwischen Stab 34 und Kontaktfahne 36 ergibt. Weiterhin ist eine Nut 58 zur Aufnahme eines Endes der Drehfeder 40 vorgesehen. FIG. 5 shows a perspective schematic view of the contact lug 36 after FIG. 4 , The contact lug 36 comprises the inclined contact surface 50 on a boom 52 and a fastening device 54. The fastening device 54, the contact lug 36 is rotatably connected, for example by clamping with the rod 34. For this purpose, the contact lug 36 comprises suitable means, in the exemplary embodiment a bore 56 with a diameter, which results in an interference fit between the rod 34 and the contact lug 36. Furthermore, a groove 58 for receiving one end of the torsion spring 40 is provided.
