Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vending machine for flexible products, particularly of the type of clothes and textile items in general.
  • a typical application of this type is the vending of uniforms for medical personnel in hospitals, which are periodically collected, disinfected and made available again to the healthcare operators.
  • a first type of known vending machine for this application consists of a box-like structure for containing a system (for example a carousel or a chain) for moving a plurality of drawers along a closed path that passes a dispensing outlet which is accessible from the outside. Along this path, each drawer is individually and temporarily positioned at the dispensing outlet.
  • a system for example a carousel or a chain
  • the operator When the machine is loaded, the operator has to place individual items of clothing in each drawer according to the parameters stored in the management unit, which associates each position with the size, colour, model etc. of the garment placed in it.
  • the user chooses the type of garment he or she wants and the management unit identifies the corresponding drawer and actuates the movement means in order to transfer that drawer to the dispensing outlet in order to allow the garment to be withdrawn.
  • This type of vending machine is not without drawbacks, among which is the fact that the loading step involves considerably lengthy time periods, given the necessity to individually insert the products into the drawers according to preset parameters. Also, at withdrawal time the waiting times vary perceptibly depending on the position of the drawer from which to make the withdrawal with respect to the dispensing outlet. Furthermore, the encumbrance of these vending machines grows rapidly with the increase in the number of products which they have to contain, and in a limited space they allow a very limited variety of articles to be handled. Furthermore, in the event of a failure of the machine the products inside it are not available for withdrawal and therefore the vending service must necessarily be interrupted.
  • a second type of vending machine which partially overcomes these drawbacks and which consists in a structure for containing a shelving with a plurality of shelves for accommodating items of clothing that are homogeneous and arranged stacked on top of each other, inside which a pickup assembly can move and has suckers that are combined with a suction system, capable of lifting and transferring the garment lying on the top of the stack to a dispensing outlet.
  • This aspect gives rise to a series of drawbacks linked to the cost and time of packaging the garments to be inserted in the vending machine, as well as the cost and environmental impact owing to the disposal of the plastic bags.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks in the background art by providing a vending machine for flexible products, particularly of the type of clothes and textile items in general, which makes it possible to contain the preparation and loading times of the products in the machine, as well as the waiting times for the dispensation of the chosen garment.
  • an object of the present invention is that of not necessitating the individual packaging of the articles to be dispensed and, therefore, reducing the costs associated with the preparation of the same and not causing polluting waste.
  • Another object of the present invention is to enable the storage of a wide variety of articles in contained spaces.
  • Another object of the present invention is to enable the manual access to, and withdrawal of, the articles by authorised operators, even in the event of a failure, so as to avoid interruptions of the service.
  • Another object of the present invention is to be capable of being engaged and interfaced with a management system for checking and counting the garments inserted and dispensed.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a simple structure, that is easy and practical to implement, safe to use and effective in operation, and relatively inexpensive.
  • the present vending machine for flexible products, particularly of the type of clothes and textile items in general, comprising a box-like containment structure, at least one station for dispensing a picked-up product, which is associated with said box-like structure and can be accessed from the outside, at least one compartment, which is arranged within said box-like structure to accommodate a plurality of products which are homogeneous and arranged over each other so as to form at least one stack, and at least one assembly for picking up and transferring the product arranged at the top of said stack toward said dispensing station, provided with suction means for lifting said product to be picked up, characterized in that said pickup and transfer assembly comprises at least one pair of elements for gripping said product to be picked up, an upper one and a lower one, and at least one of the two is movable toward and away from the other one, alternately, for fastening and releasing the product to be picked up, and means for moving said grip elements with an alternating translation
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a vending machine for flexible products, particularly of the type of clothes and textile items in general.
  • vending machine 1 for dispensing clothes that are folded and stacked on top of each other, but alternative applications are not ruled out for flexible products that have a substantially flat shape (laid out or folded on themselves) and are, therefore, stackable such as, for example, newspapers, magazines, and paper articles in general.
  • the vending machine 1 comprises a box-like containment structure 2 able to be opened and at least one station 3 for dispensing a picked-up product P', which is associated with the box-like structure and can be accessed from the outside.
  • the box-like structure 2 is provided with a door 4 that is hinged about a vertical axis and located at the front, and the dispensing station 3 is defined at an opening 5 formed in the door and is confined by a drawer 6 associated with the inside of the door 4, open in an upper region and associated with an oscillating door 7 that, in the open position ( Figures 14 and 15 ), acts as a slide for assisting the fall of the product P' picked up inside the drawer 6.
  • the vending machine 1 has at least one compartment 8 that is arranged within the box-like structure 2 for accommodating a plurality of products P arranged on top of each other so as to form at least one stack and that is open on at least one side so as to allow the insertion and withdrawal of the products P.
  • the products P inserted in each compartment 8 are homogeneous; if the vending machine 1 is used for dispensing clothes, for example, then articles of the same model, color and size can be inserted in each compartment 8.
  • the compartment 8 is delimited in a lower region by a supporting surface 9 on which the corresponding stack of products P is arranged, and the access to the compartment 8 occurs from the open side at the door 4.
  • the vending machine 1 extends vertically and has a plurality of compartments 8 arranged one beneath the other so as to define at least one column.
  • the vending machine 1 can be shaped differently and extend horizontally, and have a plurality of single compartments 8 or of columns of compartments 8 arranged side-by-side.
  • the vending machine 1 comprises an electronic management unit, of the type of a conventional programmable processor, not shown, provided with memory means for information about the spatial position of each compartment 8 and about the type of products P inserted in it, and connected to user interface means (a keyboard or the like) for updating this information as the characteristics of the products P accommodated in the single compartments 8 vary, and for the input of new information.
  • an electronic management unit of the type of a conventional programmable processor, not shown, provided with memory means for information about the spatial position of each compartment 8 and about the type of products P inserted in it, and connected to user interface means (a keyboard or the like) for updating this information as the characteristics of the products P accommodated in the single compartments 8 vary, and for the input of new information.
  • selection means that can be operated by a user to select the product P' to be picked up, which can be of the type of a keyboard with which to key in a code corresponding to the article of interest, a port for reading data stored in a user's identification device, or of another type.
  • These selection means are connected in input to the electronic processing unit for sending information about the product P' to be picked up; instructions are input in the memory means for associating the type of product P selected by the user with the position of the compartment 8 from which to perform the pickup, and also with regard to the current stock on hand for that specific product.
  • the vending machine 1 can be equipped with a conventional RFID system, not described in detail, connected to the electronic management unit to check the products P accommodated in the compartments 8 and/or the product P' picked up and released at the dispensing station 3.
  • This RFID system has one or more antennae 10 for sending the read signal to the electronic processing unit, and RFID tags applied to each product P loaded in the vending machine 1.
  • two antennae 10 can be provided of which one is inside the box-like structure 2 to perform the scanning of the products P accommodated in the compartments 8 at the end of loading and one is integral with the door 7 for recognition of the product P' dispensed at each withdrawal cycle.
  • the electronic management unit processes, according to programmed processes, the data transmitted by the antennae 10, so as to update the quantitative information about the stock of products P in each compartment 8.
  • the vending machine 1 furthermore comprises an assembly 11 for picking up and transferring the product P' lying on the top of the stack from which to perform the picking up toward the dispensing station 3.
  • This assembly 11 has suction means 12 for lifting the product P' to be picked up.
  • the assembly 11 has at least one pair of elements 13 for gripping the product P' to be picked up, an upper one 13a and a lower one 13b, and at least one of the two is movable toward and away from the other one, alternately, for fastening and releasing the product P' to be picked up.
  • the assembly 11 comprises means 14 of moving the grip elements 13 along at least one vertical axis, designated by the arrow Z in the figures, and at least one first horizontal axis, designated by the arrow X in the figures, in the direction toward and away from the stack of products P from which to perform the picking up.
  • the grip elements 13 are positioned between the compartments 8 and the door 4 so as to be inserted in the compartments through the above-mentioned access side.
  • the suction means 12 are adapted to lift a flap of the product P' to be picked up so as to allow, in the pickup configuration ( Figure 9 ), the approach of the grip elements 13 to the product along the first horizontal axis X and the positioning of the grip elements on opposite sides of the flap for the fastening and transfer of the product P' to be picked up which is retained between the grip elements 13 at the dispensing station 3.
  • the holding of the product P' during the transfer toward the dispensing station 3 is ensured by the grip elements 13, while the suction means 12 serve solely to detach a flap of the product from the underlying product or from the supporting surface 9 in order to be able to position the lower grip element 13b under it.
  • the at least one movable grip element 13 can be translational or rotating with respect to the other.
  • the lower grip element 13b is fixed, while the upper grip element 13a is pivoted at the distal end with respect to the compartments 8 and is actuated in rotation with respect to the upper grip element 13a by a conventional electric motor, not shown in the figures, activated by the electronic management unit.

  • the suction means 12 are integrally associated with the upper grip element 13a.
  • the suction means 12 can be defined integrally with the upper grip element 13a.
  • the upper grip element 13a is longer than the lower grip element 13b, so as to be capable of being positioned with the end proximal with respect to the compartments 8 above the product P' to be picked up without the lower grip element 13b interfering with the underlying products P, and it is contoured at the proximal end so as to define a suction inlet, not shown in the figures, that is opened downward and connected to a suction unit, either dedicated to the vending machine 1 or external.
  • the movement means 14, for actuating the translational movement along the vertical axis Z comprise a first endless screw 15 arranged vertically, supported so that it can rotate about its own axis within the box-like structure 2 and actuated in rotation by a first electric motor 16, and a first female screw element 17 engaged with the first endless screw 15 and coupled so as to perform a translational motion along a first vertical bar 18.

  • the movement means 14 it is not ruled out for the movement means 14 to have a different structure and involve, for example, the use of fluid-operated actuators or other means.
  • the electronic processing unit actuates the movement means 14 to position the grip elements 13 in the pickup configuration.
  • the vending machine 1 comprises means 23 for detecting the product P' to be picked up, which are connected in input to the electronic management unit.
  • the memory means are, therefore, accompanied by instructions for processing the signal received from the detection means 23 so as to activate the movement means 14, the suction means 12 and the motor for actuation in rotation of the upper grip element 13a to perform the pickup.
  • the detection means 23 can comprise a conventional proximity sensor, for example of the laser type, integrally associated with the grip elements 13 in translational movement along the axes Z and X, the detected signal of which is processed by the electronic management unit so as to activate the first electric motor 16 for the rapid approach of the grip elements 13 until they are in proximity to the product P' to be picked up ( Figure 4 ).
