Description

The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for storing at least one banknote. The arrangement comprises at least one transport container for storing the at least one banknote. Furthermore, the arrangement has at least one receiving unit for receiving the transport container. The transport container has at least one security unit for rendering unusable of notes of value.

From the document DE 201 00 426 U1 For example, a banknote container is known which has a lockable, secured housing with a banknote receiving area for receiving at least one sort of banknote. The container can be coupled to a banknote transport device of a banknote processing device. The banknote container also contains a security mechanism which, in the event of unauthorized manipulation of the banknote container, renders the banknotes present in the container useless.

From the document WO 2006/125796 A1 there is known a security cassette for valuables which has elements for securing the cassette from tampering. The cassette has a transmitting and receiving device for data transmission with other transceivers outside the cassette. With the help of the transferred data, the security mode for the security cassette can be defined and changed. A sensor of the safety cassette detects a Manipulation and triggers a security device to disable the valuables present in the security cassette depending on the operating mode.

In addition to an optical data transmission between a transport container for the transport of banknotes and other control units of a banknote processing device, a wireless data transmission between the transport container and other controls outside the transport container could be provided. However, such wireless data transmissions may be disturbed or tampered with, such that the activation of a security unit to disable any bank notes present in the shipping container is also erroneously triggered in an authorized manipulation and / or not triggered in an unauthorized manipulation.

Known security devices for making banknotes available in the transport container unusable in the prior art have their own energy supply via a battery arranged in the transport container or alternatively via an accumulator arranged in the transport container. For energy saving reasons, the safety device is deactivated in the prior art, when the transport container is arranged in the vault of a banknote processing device. As a result, at least then manipulation possibilities are given if an unauthorized access to the arranged in the vault transport container is possible.

In FIG. 1 is a side view of a schematically illustrated known arrangement 8 for storage and transport of at least one bank note shown. The assembly 8 has a cartridge 12a and an insertion compartment 22 provided for the cartridge 12a in an ATM 10. The insertion compartment 22 serves to receive the cartridge 12a. A rack with multiple slots 22 is often referred to as a rack. Furthermore, the ATM 10 includes a main control unit 24 in addition to other common units.

In the insertion compartment 22, a connector element 26 of a connector assembly is arranged. Further, the cartridge 12a has a connector element 28 complementary to the connector element 26 of the insertion compartment 22. The connector elements 26 and 28 are arranged such that when the cartridge 12a is inserted into the insertion compartment 22, an electrical connection between the insertion compartment 22 and the connector assembly is made Cassette 12a is made. The cartridge 12a further has a cartridge control unit 30. Via the electrical connection between the insertion compartment 22 and the cartridge 12a made by the connector assembly, signal or data exchange can take place between the main control unit 24 of the ATM 10 and the cartridge control unit 30 of the cartridge 12a. The signals and / or data exchanged via the connector arrangement are indicated by the dashed line 32. The data or signal transmission between the main control unit 24 of the ATM 10 and the connector element 26 of the insertion compartment 22 via the connecting cable 34. The data and / or signal transmission between the cartridge control unit 30 and the connector element 28 of the cassette 12a via the connecting cable 36th

The cassette control unit 30 is used in the cassette 12a, for example for driving a drive motor of a Verfahrwagens, not shown, with the aid of which provided for stacking banknotes of the cassette 12a stacking space is increased and / or reduced depending on the stack thickness. Furthermore, the cassette control unit 30 may be used for monitoring a position switch for the opened and / or closed state of a closure element for a cassette opening and / or for monitoring the filling level or the stack thickness of the banknote stack present in the cassette 12a.

Further, position switches may be provided in the cassette with the cassette control unit 30 and / or the connector element for detecting the closed state of a closable cassette opening or an end position of the carriage.

Furthermore, a separating and stacking module 14a is arranged on the rear side of the insertion compartment 22, with the aid of which the banknotes present in the cassette 12a can be removed and alternatively fed to the cassette 12a with the aid of the separating and stacking module 14a, when the cassette 12a in FIG the insertion compartment 22 is completely inserted.

The inking unit 38 is arranged above the bank notes located in the cassette 12a and serves to make the bank notes unusable in the event of a detected manipulation of the cassette 12a. Such a manipulation is, for example, an unauthorized opening of the cassette 12a. In the case of a manipulation of the cassette 12a, the inking unit 38 is triggered via an explosion unit, not shown, so that the bank notes located in the cassette 12a are colored by the dye of the inking unit 38 and thus made unusable. The dye used in known inking units 38 is a special ink.

Furthermore, the cassette 12a has an optical data transmission unit 40, which is connected to the inking unit 38 via a connecting cable 42. Likewise, the insertion compartment 22 of the ATM 10 has an optical data transmission unit 44. The optical data transmission unit 40, 44 are, for example, IrDA data transmission units. The optical data transmission units 40, 44 are arranged such that upon insertion of the cassette 12a into the insertion compartment 22 and in the inserted state of the cassette 12a into the insertion compartment 22 there is an optical line of sight between the optical data transmission unit 40 of the cassette 12a and optical data transmission unit 44 of the insertion compartment 22 , The information transmitted between the optical data transmission unit 44 of the insertion compartment 22 and the optical data transmission unit 40 of the cassette 12 a is indicated by the dashed line 46.

If the cassette 12a is inserted into the insertion compartment 22, then information 46 is transmitted between the optical data transmission unit 44 of the insertion compartment 22 and the optical data transmission unit 40 of the cassette 12a and, depending on this information 46, the inking unit 38 is deactivated so that it can be closed via a roller shutter Opening of the cassette 12a can be opened and the separating and stacking module 14a has access to the banknotes, which are in the banknote storage area of the cassette 12a, without the Einfärbeeinheit 38 is triggered.

The power supply of the inking unit 38 of the cassette 12a via an accumulator, not shown, or alternatively via a battery. The battery must be recharged at regular intervals and the batteries replaced at regular intervals. For this purpose, the cassette 12 must be removed from the cassette circuit of a bank and handed over to a service technician for maintenance.

Furthermore, in practice, the problem arises that the batteries and / or accumulators of the safety devices must be renewed at regular intervals, usually every two years. The dyes commonly used in safety equipment, such as specialty inks, typically have a life of four years, so the relatively short maintenance intervals in the prior art are necessitated by the need to replace the energy source for the safety device.

The object of the invention is to provide an arrangement and a method for storing at least one bank note, in which a simple structure of the transport unit arranged in the security unit is possible and the transport container is securely protected from unauthorized manipulation.

This object is achieved by an arrangement having the features of patent claim 1 and by a method having the features of the independent method claim. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Alternatively or additionally, an adjustment of the operating modes of the safety unit can be made via the electrical connection produced by the plug connector arrangement. The safety unit detects with the help of suitable sensors a manipulation of the transport container and triggers this security unit to make unusable the notes of value depending on the operating mode. Such a sensor may in particular be a impact sensor, a position sensor may be a position switch for a closure element of an opening of the transport container or a temperature sensor. Furthermore, a timer may be provided which triggers the destruction unit only after a preset time after the detection of a manipulation. At this time, by transmitting appropriate information the safety unit is prevented from triggering the safety unit.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the receiving unit has a first control unit, from which the information to be transmitted is transmitted to the transport container. As a result, in addition to the manipulation monitoring by sensors arranged in the transport container, a manipulation can be detected by a control unit arranged outside the container and preferably by sensors connected to this control unit. The control unit is preferably the control unit of a banknote processing device, such as an ATM or an automatic cash deposit. It is particularly advantageous if the transport container has a second control unit which processes transmitted information and which controls the security unit as a function of the transmitted information.

The information may be transmitted in the form of a control signal, preferably in the form of a hardwired control signal (hard wired) via the connector assembly to the destruction unit or alternatively or additionally as data via a data transmission path provided via the electrical connection.

It is particularly advantageous if at least after receiving the transport container in the receiving unit via the connector assembly at least one electrical connection to the power supply of the security unit is particularly advantageous between the receiving unit and the transport container is made. As a result, the safety unit can be supplied with electrical energy at least during the time of its arrangement in the receiving unit via the plug connector arrangement, so that no electrical energy of a battery provided for supplying the safety unit in the transport container or a rechargeable battery provided in the container is consumed at least during this time. It is particularly advantageous if a rechargeable battery provided for self-sufficient power supply of the safety unit is charged by the power supply provided via the plug connector arrangement, at least after the removal of the transport container from the receiving unit.

It is particularly advantageous to operate the safety unit in at least two operating modes, wherein the first operating mode is activated when the transport container is received in the receiving unit and wherein the second operating mode is activated when the transport container is not received in the receiving unit. The switching between the two operating modes of the security unit preferably takes place as a function of the information transmitted between the receiving unit and the transport container. Alternatively or additionally, the switching between the two operating modes of the safety unit can also be effected directly by the information transmitted between the receiving unit and the transport container in the form of a control signal. It is particularly advantageous if the transport container comprises a triggering sensor which detects a manipulation of the transport container and which generates a control signal for triggering the security unit during a detected manipulation or data to a control unit of the transport container and / or to a control unit sends the security unit with a manipulation information. The security unit is triggered or if several operating modes are provided, at least triggered when an operating mode is activated, in which the detected manipulation is classified as unauthorized manipulation. The triggering sensor is preferably deactivated in the first operating mode and activated in the second operating mode.

It is particularly advantageous if the arrangement has a vault, in which at least one receiving unit for receiving at least one transport container is arranged. The safe preferably has a sensor arrangement, wherein the control unit of the receiving unit processes the sensor information output by the sensor arrangement and generates the information transmitted by the receiving unit to the transport container depending on this sensor information. In this case, the sensor arrangement may comprise at least one gas sensor, at least one position sensor, at least one limit switch of a locking mechanism of a safe door, at least one door contact sensor of the safe door, at least one temperature sensor and / or at least one impact sensor.

Furthermore, it is advantageous to integrate the safety unit and the control unit of the transport container in a combined assembly. Such a combined assembly is less expensive, more compact and easier to assemble than two individual units.

Furthermore, the control unit of the transport container for monitoring a position switch for the open and / or closed state of a closure element for a closable opening for supplying and / or removal of notes and / or for monitoring the fill level or the stack thickness of the present in the transport container value note stack serve ,

The cassettes 12a to 12d are each held by a receiving unit, not shown, in their respective position and locked there. Such a receiving unit is also referred to below as a slot or rack.

Each cassette 12a to 12d is associated with a separating and stacking module 14a to 14d, with the aid of which banknotes in the respective cassette 12a to 12d are removed and, alternatively, banknotes are fed to the respective cassette 12a to 12d with the aid of the separating and stacking module 14a to 14d can. The banknotes are in the cassettes 12a to 12d stored as a stack, wherein the banknotes are arranged standing on its longitudinal side in the cassettes 12a to 12d. With the aid of transport elements 16a to 16d, the banknotes can be fed to the separating and stacking modules 14a to 14d and removed from these separating and stacking modules 14a to 14d. With the aid of the transport elements 16a to 16d, which in particular comprise belts, rollers and / or switches, a transport path 18 is formed over which banknotes are transported from a transfer point 20 to a selected separating and stacking module 14a to 14d. About the transfer interface 11 banknotes are supplied to the vault or issued from the vault 11. Furthermore, a banknote taken from one of the cassettes 12a to 12d with the aid of the separating and stacking module 14a to 14d allocated to this cassette 12a to 12d can be fed to the transport elements 16a to 16d and arranged along the transport path 18 via the transfer interface 20 to one above the vault 11 Control unit of the ATM 10 are transported with at least one input and output tray.

Usually, banknotes to be deposited are stored in the input and output compartment as a bundle and separated in the upper part of the ATM 10, so that they are successively fed along the transport path 18 via the transfer interface 20 to the vault 11. Further, the bills taken from the cassettes 12a to 12d are transported one by one along the transport path 18 via the transfer interface 20 from the vault 11 and then stacked into a stack by means of a known stacking device which is designed, for example, as a stacker wheel. This bundle will then go over the inputs and Output tray output. Furthermore, the ATM 10 has a suitable operating unit and other elements, such as a card reader and optionally safety devices for authenticating an operator.

FIG. 3 shows a further development of the known arrangement according to the invention FIG. 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention. In contrast to the arrangement after FIG. 1 has in the arrangement 70 after FIG. 3 neither the insertion compartment 22 an optical data transmission unit 44 nor the cartridge 12a, an optical data transmission unit 40. The in the arrangement 8 according to FIG. 1 The information 46 transmitted between the optical data transmission unit 44 of the insertion compartment 22 and the optical data transmission unit 40 of the cartridge 12a is shown in FIG FIG. 3 illustrated training according to the invention transmitted via the connector assembly of the connector elements 26 and 28 made electrical connection between the insertion compartment 22 and the cassette 12a. In FIG. 3 the connector elements 26, 28 are shown in a separate state, in which no electrical connection between the insertion compartment 22 and the cassette 12 a is made. The information transmitted via the connector arrangement in the connected state of the connector elements 26, 28 is indicated by the dashed line 54. The information 54 is then transmitted from the main control unit 24 of the ATM 10 via the connector assembly to the cassette control unit 30 of the cassette 12a.

The cassette control unit 30 of the cassette 12a is connected via the connection cable 52 to the inking unit 38 serving as a security unit for rendering unusable notes existing in the cassette 12a. A combined assembly of cassette control unit 30 and staining unit 38 is shown in FIG FIG. 3 designated by the reference numeral 48.

Further, the dyeing unit 38 is supplied with electrical power from the ATM 10 via the electrical connection made by the connector assembly and the connection cables 36, 52. In this way, the accumulator of the dyeing unit 38, not shown, can be loaded while the cassette 12a is inserted into the insertion compartment 22 of the ATM 10. The electrical energy transmitted via the plug connector arrangement in the connected state of the plug connector elements 26, 28 between the ATM 10 and the cassette 12a is indicated by the dot-dash line 50.

In FIG. 4 is a block diagram with controls of the arrangement according to FIG. 3 shown. The ATM 10 comprises in the illustrated embodiment, two sensors 56, 58. Alternatively, the ATM 10 may have more or fewer sensors in other embodiments of the invention. The sensor 56 is, for example, a limit switch of a bolt mechanism, not shown, also a not shown safe door of the safe 11 of the ATM 10, which is closed in the locked state of the cash machine 10. The sensor 58 is, for example, a door contact sensor of the safe door. With the help of the door contact sensor 58 is determined whether the safe door of the safe 11 is closed. The switching element of the door contact sensor is closed when the safe door is closed. Alternatively or additionally, one or more gas sensors, impact sensors, temperature sensors and / or position sensors may be provided. The information generated by the limit switch 56 and the door contact sensor 58 are transmitted in the form of data and / or signals to the main control unit 24 of the ATM 10. The main control unit 24 of the ATM 10 generates the information 54 transmitted between the insertion compartment 22 and the cassette 12a in dependence on the information transmitted by the sensors 56, 58.

The cassette 12a is operable in at least two modes of operation. The first operating mode is activated when the cassette 12a is inserted into the slot 22 of the ATM 10. This first mode of operation is also referred to as ATM mode.

The second mode of operation is activated when the cartridge 12a is not in the slot 22 of the ATM 10. This mode of operation is also referred to as transport mode.

Furthermore, the cassette 12a comprises a trigger sensor, not shown, which detects a manipulation of the transport container 12a and, in the presence of a manipulation, sends a control signal for triggering the coloring unit 38 or data for triggering to the cassette control unit 30 of the transport container 12a transmits. If there is manipulation of the transport container 12a, the dyeing unit 38 is triggered by the signal sent from the trigger sensor or by a signal from the cartridge control unit 30 generated in response to the data sent from the trigger sensor to the cartridge control unit 30. In this way, the banknotes in the cassette 12a are made unusable.

The trigger sensor of the cartridge 12a is deactivated in the ATM mode and activated in the transport mode. This ensures that in the ATM mode, a closable removal opening of the cassette 12a can be opened so that the separating and stacking module 14a has access to the banknotes stored in the cassette 12a, without the dyeing unit 38 being triggered.

The switching between the two modes of operation is effected in dependence on the information 54 transmitted between the main control unit 24 and the cassette control unit 30. The activation or deactivation of the coloring unit 38 also takes place in dependence on the information 54 transmitted between the main control unit 24 and the cassette control unit 30 That is, the information 54 transmitted from the main control unit 24 to the cartridge control unit 30 is processed in the cartridge control unit 30, and the dyeing unit 38 is controlled by the cartridge control unit 30 by means of information transmitted through the connection cable 52.

In the illustrated embodiment, the dyeing unit 38 is deactivated only when the main control unit 24 of the sensors 56, 58 contains the information that both the bolt mechanism of the safe door and the vault door itself are closed. Thus, a control of the dyeing unit 38 via the main control unit 24 of the ATM is additionally or alternatively to the cassette control unit 33 or additionally or alternatively to the control unit 66 of the dyeing unit possible. In other embodiments, the cassette control unit 33 and / or the control unit 66 of the dyeing unit can thereby be dispensed with.

In FIG. 5 is a side view of a schematic representation of an inventive arrangement 72 with an ATM 10 and a cassette 12a shown according to a second embodiment of the invention. In contrast to the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, the dyeing unit 38 and the cassette control unit 30 of the cassette 12a are not connected to each other via a connection cable 52. Instead, the dyeing unit 38 is connected via a connecting cable 60 directly to the connector element 28 of the cassette 12a. The control of the dyeing unit 38 is carried out directly from the main control unit 24 of the ATM 10. From the main control unit 24 data or control signals via the electrical connection produced by the connector assembly and the connecting cable 60 to the dyeing unit 38 are transmitted directly. The control signal transmitted from the main control unit 24 in the connected state of the connector elements 26, 27 to the dyeing unit 38 and / or the transmitted data are in FIG. 5 indicated by the dashed line 62.

In FIG. 6 is a side view of a schematic representation of an arrangement 74 according to the invention with an ATM 10 and a cassette 12a shown according to a third embodiment of the invention. The information transmitted from the main control unit 24 via the electrical connection made by the connector assembly is transmitted in this embodiment through a connection cable 64 from the connector member 28 of the cartridge 12a to a control unit 66 of the dyeing unit 38.
