Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for storing and dispensing objects according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • vending machines are known, from which goods must be transported by motor and pay after payment from a storage compartment to an output shaft. Likewise with a motorized transport device, provisioning machines for valuables work. This process is time consuming.
  • patent documents and patents US5172829 . US4631358 . FR2624637 . WO2005096236 . FR2717932 and FR2809214 are known devices for storage and issue of keys.
  • the object of the invention is to simplify and accelerate the transfer of stored objects from a closed area to a public area in a device for storing and dispensing objects after an approval test has been carried out.
  • the objects to be stored and dispensed are provided with plug-in trailers and the plug-in tags in turn are mounted in plug-in slots.
  • plug-in tags and plug-in slots for differently designed objects can be used universally.
  • the transfer of an object from the storage container in the output shaft is done by gravity and / or spring force.
  • the transfer can therefore be initiated by simple release of the controllable release device.
  • the subsequent transfer no longer requires its own drive.
  • the release device can therefore be structurally very simple and designed for low maintenance and high reliability and durability.
  • the plug-in ducts are oriented inclined relative to their longitudinal center axes to a horizontal and plug-in openings of the plug-in ducts point downwards.
  • the plug-in trailer can automatically overcome the initial static friction after release and slide into the output shaft. Likewise, too high a load of the release device is avoided by the weight of a heavy object. The force required for the release can thus be reduced.
  • inclined Alignment of the longitudinal center axes of the plug-in slots also several rows of slots can be cascaded vertically to accommodate as many as possible plug-in slots. The installation depth of the device then does not have to be increased.
  • controllable release device comprises at each plug-in slot an electromagnetically operable latch which is locked in the deactivated state of the electromagnet under spring force in an annular groove of the inserted plug-in trailer, can be activated by control commands and dug in the activated state of the electromagnet from the annular groove of the plugged plug-in trailer ,
  • the controllable release device may be controlled by an input or reading unit in response to an access key.
  • the plug-in tags include non-contact readable detection plates with electronically stored identification information and the plug-in slots read devices of the identification information and an evaluation device.
  • the evaluation device is connected to the controllable release device and the controllable release device is additionally controlled in dependence of the read identification information of the trailer.
  • the association, presence or absence of objects can be checked and tracked per se.
  • the contactless reading of information is also possible in case of contamination of the object and is not subject to any mechanical wear of the contacts.
  • the reader located at each slot allows specific monitoring of the slots.
  • the identification information of stored plug-in trailers can be stored linked or buffered with their local plug-in slot and the plug-in slot of a plug-in trailer to be released can then be released by the controllable release device via the identification information linked to the local slot.
  • plug-in slots The storage of objects by means of plug-in connectors in plug-in slots is not limited to predetermined slots. Rather, the slots can be randomly populated. This enables the storage and management of a large number of circulating objects and fast assembly or Replacement of the slots after returning the objects.
  • a return device for the objects is connected to the evaluation device, wherein the return device comprises a plug-in shaft with a reading device and an electromagnetically actuated latch.
  • the bolt can be activated with the correct identification information of an inserted plug-in trailer and locked in an annular groove of the inserted plug-in trailer and is excavated in the deactivated state.
  • the take-back device may comprise a transferring and discharging device of the inserted plug-in trailer with the connected object from a public area into a closed area.
  • a device for storing and dispensing objects comprises a storage container 10, which may be designed as a closet.
  • the storage container 10 is a mounting frame 12, are arranged on the brackets 14 for the storage of objects 16.
  • the brackets 14 are arranged in rows next to each other and cascaded in the embodiment in three floors above the other.
  • the brackets 14 consist of stationary plug-in ducts 18 in which plug-in tags 20 connected to the objects 16 are inserted.
  • the plug-in slots 18 are aligned with respect to their longitudinal central axes inclined to a horizontal. Plug openings of the plug-in slots 18 are inclined downwards. All openings of the plug-in slots 18 open into an output shaft 22, the bottom is limited by an output tray 24.
  • the output tray 24 is accessible through an output flap 26 from the outside.
  • each plug-in shaft 18 is equipped with an electromagnetically actuated latch.
  • the latch each includes an electromagnet 28 having a spring biased armature 30.
  • the armature 30 engages in an annular groove of the plug-in trailer 20 and thus blocks the plug-in tag 20 against pulling out or falling out of the plug-in slot 18.
  • the electromagnet 28 is activated, the armature 30 is moved against the force of the spring from the annular groove of the plug-in connector Plug-in trailer 20 excavated, whereupon the trailer 20 is transferred with the attached object 16 from the slot 18 into the output shaft 22 and finally falls under gravity into the output tray 24.
  • the control of the electromagnets 28 by a controllable release device 32, which in turn may include control electronics and in addition a keyboard, a card reader, a bar code reader and a display.
  • the plug-in tags 20 are equipped with non-contact readable detection plates with electronically stored identification information.
  • the plug-in slots 18 include readers of the indent information and the readers are connected to an evaluation device, which in turn is connected to the controllable release device 32 or is part of the controllable release device.
  • the release commands targeted electromagnet 28 of the plug-in slots 18 are transmitted.
  • the indent information it can be verified that the object 16 with the corresponding plug-in tag 20 actually left the plug-in slot 18.
  • the invention can be z.
  • a customer receives a PIN code, which he must enter via an input keyboard or an authorization card, which is read automatically by the card reader.
  • the control electronics are the indent information known to the PIN code plug-in connector 18 known, whereupon the controllable release device 32 selectively actuates the electromagnet 28 of the corresponding plug-in slot 18 and initiates the output of the object 16 by releasing the plug-in trailer 20 from the plug-in slot 18.
  • the object 16 then falls into the output shaft 22 and enters the output tray 24.
  • the customer can now through output flap 26 remove the object 16 and use.
  • Fig. 2 shows a return unit of the device according to the invention in section.
  • a return device 34 is arranged, which is connected to the evaluation device of the device.
  • the return device 34 comprises a plug-in shaft 36, which is constructed analogously to the plug-in slots of the output unit may be and includes an electromagnetically actuated latch with an electromagnet 40 and a spring-loaded armature 38. Also in this case, the plug-in shaft 36 is again oriented inclined relative to the longitudinal center axis to a horizontal. The plug hole points downwards.
  • the plug-in shaft 36 is integrated into a rotary cylinder 44 driven by means of a geared motor 42. Below the rotary cylinder 44 is located in the interior of the storage container 10, a reammelbox 46th
  • a receipt printer 50 with a receipt output tray 52 is still disposed within the storage container 10.
  • the device is suitable for taking back objects 16, for example keys of rental cars after returning the vehicle.
  • a customer inserts the plug-in tag 20 of an object 16 to be returned into the plug-in slot 36 of the return unit. If it is a valid object 16 to be returned, the ID number of the plug-in tag 20 is read and verified without contact. Thereafter, the solenoid 40 is activated, the armature 38 of the electromagnet 40 slides into the annular groove of the plug-in trailer 20 and holds it firmly.
  • the rotary cylinder 44 transfers the object 16 into the interior of the storage container 10, and as soon as it is inside the trailer 20 is released and falls under gravity into the object collection box 46 and thus into the secured area.
  • the customer is then printed on the receipt printer 50, a receipt that falls into the receipt output tray 52 and removed from the customer can be.
  • the rotary cylinder 44 then returns to the starting position, so that another object can be returned.
  • the electromagnet 40 of the slot 36 remains passive and the trailer 20 is not fixed in the slot 36. Rather, it slides out again and again as soon as it is released.
  • the armature 38 is inversely controlled here. In the deactivated state, the armature 38 is outside the range of an annular groove and only in the activated state it engages in the annular groove and holds the trailer 20 as long as stuck in the slot 36 until the rotary cylinder 44 is rotated into the interior of the storage container 10 and the trailer 20 can be released with the object 16.
