Description

The bulk products distributing device of the container that can recharge and bulk products supply wherein and Fare Collection System and distribution bulk products

Technical field

The utility model relates to the supply that is used for bulk products (bulk products) and cashes the cash technology, more particularly, relates to the container that can recharge, distributing device, reaches bulk products distribution and Fare Collection System in said container.

Background technology

Now; The container that multiple different purposes are arranged; Promptly be used for the solid of daily family expenses and the container of liquid product; These solids and liquid product are general purpose cleaning supplies, as, be used for the cleaning supplies of furniture, the cleaning supplies that are used for food, softener, bleaching agent, washer solvent, conditioning agent, laundry solid soap etc.

Usually, product container is made of plastics; Yet, will simply these containers be abandoned in case use up, so,, these containers cause pollution problem because being difficult for degraded.Also having a kind of selection is to utilize these containers to buy other products again, but this is in developing country, and for example, Mexico is not practice.

From above-mentioned consideration; Though the one-shot usage of container with can utilize again afterwards; In initial manufacturing and processing again subsequently, all need significant amount of energy, this possibly produce the greenhouse gases of millions of ton of meter, and particularly the situation of household cleaning product is all the more so.

Do not utilize these containers again and with they throw away in the street, in the river, during unlapped rubbish stockyard; To increase the weight of pollution problem; Except that other situation; Wherein degradation process needs hundreds of years, occupies conspicuous negative effects such as big quantity space but also bring like drainage system obstruction, rivers and lakes pollution, rubbish stockyard.Therefore, expectation provides reusable container.

From the angle of economy, when abandoning container, also wasted a part that obtains the input debt of container, because for total expenses, greatly with the appropriate litigation fees that only is used for container.For example, for being loaded on one liter of liquid detergent in the container, as estimation, the appropriate litigation fees of container is half the in total expenses.Therefore, the capacity of container is big more, and the product expense of per unit volume is low more.So, very low like the expense of the unit volume of product in two, four or 19 liters the large-rolume container.

Though through using large-rolume container that the expense of unit volume is reduced, most consumers is still bought the product that is contained in one or two liter of container, can only the little product of purchase volume because customer's economic capability is limited.Therefore, very big demand is that the general buying habit according to the customer reduces and buys the expense that is contained in the product in the plastic container, that is to say, is reduced in like shop or small-sized supermarket and supermarket or directly locates to buy the expense of a small amount of bulk products the supplier.

In in the past 10 years, in the trial that reduces expense, used returnable container, most of this containers are rigid containers.But,, need exchange new container for the container of using in order to buy these containers.And, from commercial angle, wasted an important information sources, because container can disclose consumption habit, this has commercial value, and this information has been lost in returnable container.

In daily life, the customer also can keep some containers that can recharge and re-use, and is realizing on the machine designed recharging for recharging and re-using.But except big bottle, because the rigidity of large scale container, this behavior can not be made one's wish fulfilled, because the customer dislikes heavy container, the most important thing is, the customer hopes to avoid and takes this container to backbone.

As stated; The source of finance of most consumers is limited and only buy bulk products in a small amount, like the washer solvent in the one liter of container of packing into of routine, in fact; The bulk products that on the special purpose machinery in supermarket, recharges is unpractical, particularly because the rigidity of existing container.In addition, this purchase selection need be by refillable container, guarantees thisly to recharge rapidly, effectively and can not be loaded in the container that is used in certain bulk products other products just more attractive.

The container that also has some to utilize again in the prior art, for example US Pat 6,761, and that describes in No. 318 is a kind of; This patent relates to the method for a kind of container that re-uses and supervision and recording product information.More particularly, this container comprises one or more identification mechanism (means) that can be read; This identification mechanism comprises electronic type intelligent label (smart tag); This label is renewable and can programme again according to the information of relevant household products like washer solvent and cleaning products and so in the container; Comprise the foldable portion that is under the rigid element on its physical structure; This foldable portion has impermeable inside, deposits in cleaning products wherein with reception.

The major defect of this type container is, the product container of packing into from top can take the lead in adopting the filling machine with the movable nozzle that is inserted in the container for this type container.And moveable element formation service expenditure is known.The fact in addition is to upgrade identification mechanism and mean and can different bulk productses be left in the container.From a certain angle, this fact means the advantage with a plurality of selection containers, and still, the high cost of identification mechanism means quite inconvenient, because this needs special readout device.Moreover, if container is used to multiple product, exist a kind of product by the possibility of another kind of contamination of products.

In addition, the document has disclosed through the possibility of record about the identification user of same identification mechanism of the consumption information of the product bought with container rather than other stand-alone products.

And owing to identification mechanism needs programming again, when suitable sense station is not suitable for routine charge practice, paying will become very complicated to product in the backbone.

The container that patent ' 318 discloses needs the dedicated system of himself to come management product information and purchase situation; But; From the angle of commerce, this fact mean have this type container be not suitable for the housewife to the shop, small-sized supermarket or supermarket buy the shortcoming of the consumption habit of household products.In these places, Fare Collection System is simple, shop cashier or see behind the product or collect debt by container through the amount of money that the bar code optical reader is shown.' container described in 318 is not too suitable for said conventional consumption habit for patent.

US Pat 6; 772,944 have described a kind of loading system that can utilize product in the container again, and container is transported by the third party who makes a profit; Wherein said container is only discerned a kind of body plan, but the consumption mode of user or the stand-alone product relevant with him can not be discerned in the backbone.

In a word, on the one hand, need can repeated usage reducing the container that can recharge really of pollution problem, and on the other hand, these containers must reduce the buying expenses of bulk products.In addition, except that other situation, this type container should be applicable to the conventional consumption habit of bulk products in shop, small-sized supermarket and supermarket, and can transport these containers easily.

Do not have in the existing system a kind ofly can add same user and return same backbone fills product again in same container material circumstance, this means that having lost also is the chance that prior art is unsolved, other production marketings are given same user.

In addition, a problem that in the marketing system of these bulk productses, often produces is a product volume of confirming that the user will buy, because production marketing merchant or the conventional consumer behavior of retail trader's impassabitity are suitably measured and subsequently charge in the existing system.
