Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is an automatic dispenser of sachets containing powdered or flexible products such as plastic or cellulose-based sheets folded several times on themselves.
  • Known distributors with vertical axis of rotation are generally of two types.
  • Distributors comprising a magazine in which rotates around its axis of rotation a helical winding of great thickness suspended at its upper end on the turns of which rest products to be dispensed. More particularly, US Pat. No. 3,929,255 describes such a device in which a partition arranged along a diameter of the winding and inside of it allows the distribution with the same winding of two products. A motorization ensures the rotational drive of this winding and a receptacle in the lower part allows the recovery of products from this winding after it has made a U-turn.
  • the triggering of such devices is carried out in a known manner by means of token or coins which actuate a triggering mechanism.
  • GB 969 321 Another type of dispensing device is described in GB 969 321 in which the device comprises a fixed helical ramp on which the products to be dispensed rest while at the center of this helical winding is arranged a rotary member with multiple sectors which ensures driving the products along the helical ramp by sliding the product thereon.
  • a receptacle In the lower part a receptacle allows the collection distribution of distributed products.
  • the drive motor of the rotary sector member its operating time is controlled by a device comprising a switch and a cam comprising studs in number equal to that of the sectors.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dispensing device the windings of the winding of which are kept at a constant pitch whatever the weight of the sachets, the guidance of which is improved and the dispensing capacity of constant length can be increased, while allowing rapid recharging by total replacement of the winding.
  • the bag dispensing apparatus in a substantially horizontal position and superimposed inside a magazine opening at its lower part into a bag collecting receptacle and comprising a bag support and distribution element constituted by a straight helical winding with non-contiguous turns with a vertical axis on which the bags are arranged on successive turns and a means for rotating the winding around its axis associated with a control means is characterized in that at least one turn of the straight helical winding is fixed on a central shaft driven in rotation at one of its ends by the means of rotation.
  • the dispensing device is also characterized in that at regular space a turn is connected to the shaft by a bar with a length equal to that of a radius.
  • the central shaft driven by the means for rotating is characterized in that it is supported by its lower end on a rotary bearing.
  • the dispensing device according to another characteristic of the invention comprises a rotary bearing consisting of a bushing which receives the end of the central shaft, the bottom of the bushing and the end of the shaft being each provided with a cone centered relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft so to receive a ball which ensures the free rotation of one relative to the other.
  • FIG. 1 shows a dispensing device which comprises a straight helical winding with non-contiguous turns 100, a magazine 102, and a motorization device 104.
  • the straight helical winding with non-contiguous turns comprises an actual winding of the spring type 106, and a central shaft 108 to which the turns are fixed by bars 110.
  • the bars 110 are fixed by welding between the winding and the central shaft 108, these bars 110 having the length of a radius of the winding, these same bars being regularly spaced over the entire height of the winding.
  • the central shaft 108 is arranged vertically so that its lower end 112 is received in a socket 114, itself provided with a ball 116.
  • the central shaft 108 comprises a cone-shaped machining forming a partial housing for the ball and the bottom of the sleeve also comprises an inverted cone-shaped machining arranged opposite the first of so as to receive the ball 116.
  • the upper end 118 of the shaft 108 is fixed in a socket 120 by means of a pin 122, the socket 120 itself being integral with the drive shaft 122 of the electric motor 124, all of these elements being disposed above the upper wall 126 of the magazine 102.
  • a washer 128 facilitates the rotation of the sleeve while ensuring that it is wedged relative to said magazine.
  • the sachets 130 to be dispensed are also shown, as well as a metallic counterweight piece 132 comprising, as shown in FIG. 2, a tab 134 projecting outside the magazine 102, so as to that said tab, when it reaches the low position can actuate a limit switch 136.
  • hinges making it possible to make the shutters 140 of the magazine movable with an angular movement greater than 90 °.
  • FIG. 3 represents a variant of an embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention in which the magazine 102 has a substantially rectangular shape, divided into two parts, front 142 and rear 144. At the rear part is arranged the counterweight 132.
  • a complementary guide 146 is placed in the magazine so as to divide it into two substantially identical volumes and to place two sachets on the same turn on either side of this guide, the walls of the magazine providing the necessary complementary guidance during displacement by gravity of said sachets.
  • the plane containing the guide passes through the axis of rotation of the central shaft. The operation of such a device is described below.
  • the dispensing device is controlled by means of coins, tokens or any other triggering device of known type, the introduction allowing the supply of the motor 124 so that the latter can make a complete revolution which causes the fall of the bag 130 disposed on the last lower turn of the winding 106 whose end is open.
  • Each trigger therefore causes the rotation of the winding of a turn and the advance of the set of bags from the top to the bottom of a step as well as that of the counterweight 132 over a height of one step also.
  • the counterweight by means of its tab 134 comes on the last turn and actuates the switch 136, which causes the dispensing device to be stopped.
  • Such a switch can also trigger a certain number of complementary functions such as supplying the "empty dispenser” indicator as well as closing the insertion slot of the tokens or parts of the triggering device.
  • the variant shown in Figure 3 allows for the same winding height to distribute a number of half size bags and the number of which is multiplied by two.
  • the motor 124 performs only for the distribution of a bag only a half-turn, it is also understood that such a variant can be for distribution of multiple bags because the magazine can be divided into a greater number of sectors by means of additional guides, each sector containing a sachet and each turn supporting a number of sachets equal to the number of sectors. In this case, the motor performs a rotation equal to one revolution divided by the number of sectors.
  • the flaps 140 may be arranged on the front face of the device or on the rear face, the choice being a function of the arrangement of the whole of the dispensing apparatus and of the access authorized by the location in which it will be installed.
  • the shape of the store itself can vary depending on the geometry and types of products.
  • the means for rotating the winding can be mechanical. In this case, they include a puller that can be moved in translation and / or rotation (not shown) in the sampling receptacle 160, accessible and maneuverable from the outside, the movements in rotation or in translation of the puller each corresponding to a half-rotation. of the winding.
  • the means 104 for rotating the winding may comprise an electromagnet and return spring device.
