Definitions

  • the invention relates to a checkout work station with two parallel goods transport counters, which are each provided with a goods transport belt and at one end of the transport belt with a self-operated electronic goods data reader and in which a cash register associated with the two goods data readers and with a seat for an operator is arranged in the middle of the two goods data readers .
  • a checkout work station of the generic type with so-called self-scanning is already known (EP 0 443 407 A1), in which two goods transport counters are arranged parallel to one another at a distance from one another.
  • Each of these goods transport counters consists of a goods data reader, an adjoining conveyor belt and a packing cradle in which the goods data reader is placed on the conveyor belt Goods are collected for later reloading into a shopping cart or other container.
  • a cash register place for an operator with two cash registers is arranged between the two conveyor belts or goods transport counters.
  • Each of the two cash registers is assigned to one of the two goods transport counters or one of the two goods data readers.
  • both registers can be operated by the same operator.
  • the arrangement of the seat is such that the operator can easily see both goods data readers and has the two cash registers with the common cash drawer in front of them and can easily operate them.
  • the filled shopping cart is first placed in front of the goods reader, the goods are individually removed from the shopping cart, passed over the goods data reader in order to register the goods data and enter them in the assigned cash register.
  • the goods are then placed directly on the conveyor belt arranged behind them and conveyed by them either continuously or step by step into the packing trough arranged in the extension of the conveyor belt.
  • the seat of the operator operating the cash register is arranged between the two goods transport counters, a distance corresponding to the seat width must be maintained between them.
  • the space between the two conveyor belts must also be kept clear so that the operator can get to his seat at the cash registers.
  • the invention has for its object to design a cash desk of the generic type so that these disadvantages mentioned above are eliminated, that the two goods transport counters can be installed more cheaply and with less space and that theft of already registered goods is excluded.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that the goods data readers and the cash register are arranged behind the conveyor belts in the transport direction and that the seat for the operator is arranged behind the cash register and behind the goods data readers and is accessible from the front side opposite the cash register.
  • the two stationary packing troughs can be completely dispensed with. This not only makes the system cheaper, it can also be constructed in a more space-saving manner. However, it is also important that the operator not only has the cash register and the two goods data readers permanently in view, but also the two conveyor belts on which the goods brought up and put down by the customer are transported to the relevant assigned goods data reader. As usual, the conveyor belts can either be controlled manually from the operator's seat or controlled by light barriers or similar control devices and switched on if necessary.
  • the checkout work station consists of two goods transport counters 1 and 2, each consisting of a box-like substructure 3 or 4, each with a conveyor belt 5 or 6 and a goods data reader 7 or 8.
  • the two goods data readers 7 and 8 are each located behind, viewed in the transport direction according to the arrows 9 the conveyor belts 5 and 6.
  • the space 10 between the two conveyor belts 5, 6 can remain free or can be used expediently as shown in FIG. 3 by arranging a goods shelf 11 as a goods display.
  • a table top 12 between the two goods data readers 7 and 8 there is a table top 12, on which support plates 15 and 16 for screens 17 and 18 and display lights 19 and 20 are arranged on vertical columns 13 and 14.
  • the cash register 22 is located behind the two goods data readers 7 and 8, as seen in the transport direction of the two conveyor belts 5 and 6, but also that the seat 24 of the operator 23 is seen in the same direction behind the cash register 22, that is to say on the side of the cash register 22 opposite the table top 12.
  • the operator 23 has both the two goods data readers 7 and 8 and the two conveyor belts 5 and 6 in view as well as the cash register and the associated one, not shown in the drawing, conveniently between the screens 17 and 18 arranged screen and can monitor at any time.
  • the protective housing 25 which is obligatory per se, and which shields the seat 24 and the cash register 22 from the outside, is provided with two side walls 26 and 27, each of which extends from the inside edges of the two goods data readers 7 and 8 symmetrically to the imaginary longitudinal center plane and diverges outwards.
  • the two goods data readers 7 and 8 are each with end walls 29 arranged at right angles to the two side walls 26 and 27 of the protective housing 25 or 30, to which an empty shopping cart, in particular a mobile packing trough, can be placed, in which or into which the goods can be placed immediately after the registration process on one of the two goods data readers 7 or 8.
  • the cash desk workstation described above is used in such a way that the customers arriving with their loaded shopping trolleys 31 on one of the conveyor belts 5 or 6 first place the goods from the shopping trolley 31 on one of the conveyor belts 5 or 6 and then go to one of the goods data readers 7 and if an empty shopping cart 32 has not already been placed on the end wall 29 or 30, place the empty shopping cart 32 there on the end wall 29 or 30 in the manner shown.
  • the customer can then transport his goods to the associated goods data reader 7 or 8 by a suitable control of the relevant conveyor belt 5 or 6. Then he removes them individually from the conveyor belt, passes them over the relevant goods data reader 7 or 8, and then immediately puts them into the empty shopping cart 32 provided. Each registration is shown to him on the screen 17 or 18.
  • this registration is also registered in the cash register and displayed to the operator 23.
  • the operator 23 calls up the corresponding amount to be paid by means of appropriate commands at the cash register 22, collects the displayed amount and also issues the printed receipt.
  • the operator 23 has the entire system in his field of vision and thus under control, so he can intervene at any time if any faults should occur.
  • the drawing also shows that the two goods transport counters 1 and 2 can be much closer to each other than would be the case if the cash register 22 with the seat 24 had to be arranged between these two goods transport counters 1 and 2, because they are for the seat 24 required width is significantly greater than the distance between the two goods transport counters 1 and 2 shown in the drawing, in particular in FIG. 2.
