Recesses, in which the goods, here box-shaped products, must slide in independently.
Beim Zusammenspiel zwischen den beweglichen Teilen und den im Warenschacht befindlichen Dosen, kann es leicht zum Verklemmen des Drehkörpers und damit zu einem Störfall beim Warenautomaten kommen.In the interaction between the moving parts and the cans located in the goods bay, it can easily come to jamming of the rotating body and thus to a malfunction in the vending machine.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine robuste und zuverlässige Warenausgabevorrichtung vorzuschlagen.The object of the invention is to propose a robust and reliable goods dispensing device.
Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by a device having the characterizing features of
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Die hier vorgeschlagene Warenausgebevorrichtung umfasst zumindest einen Warenschacht. Der Warenschacht hat im Wesentlichen eine quaderförmige Gestalt und umfasst eine bewegliche Bodenplatte, die in Längsrichtung des Schachts verschiebbar ist. Auf der Bodenplatte sind die einzelnen Waren, übereinander liegend, angeordnet.The goods issue device proposed here comprises at least one goods shaft. The goods well has a substantially cuboid shape and comprises a movable bottom plate, which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the shaft. On the bottom plate, the individual goods, one above the other, arranged.
Der Warenschacht mündet in einen Warenausgabebereich. Aus dem Warenausgabebereich können die im Warenschacht befindlichen Waren nacheinander entnommen werden. Vorzugsweise ist der Warenausgabebereich über eine Klappe zugänglich. Die Klappe ist schwenkbar gelagert. Beim Schwenken der Klappe wird eine einzelne Ware von selbiger erfasst und aus den Warenausgabebereich geschoben, so dass ein Kunde die Ware entnehmen kann.The goods shaft opens into a goods issue area. From the goods issue area, the goods located in the goods shaft can be removed one after the other. Preferably, the goods issue area is accessible via a flap. The flap is pivotally mounted. When swiveling the flap, a single product is detected by the same and pushed out of the goods issue area, so that a customer can remove the goods.
Wie bereits oben erwähnt, hat der Warenschacht eine quaderförmige Gestalt und umfasst eine innen liegende, in Richtung des Warenausgabebereichs verschiebbare Bodenplatte.As already mentioned above, the goods shaft has a cuboid shape and comprises an inner, displaceable in the direction of the goods issue area bottom plate.
An der Bodenplatte ist am Ende eine Spiralfeder, befestigt. Das andere Ende der Feder ist am Warenschacht in der Nähe des Warenausgabereichs befestigt, wodurch die Bodenplatte eine Kraft in Richtung des Warenausgabebereichs erfährt. Da die einzelnen Waren auf der Bodenplatte gestapelt sind, erfahren diese ebenfalls eine Kraft in Richtung des Warenausgabebereichs. Ein unkontrolliertes Hinausschieben der einzelnen Waren wird durch die verschließende Klappe verhindert.At the bottom plate is at the end of a coil spring, attached. The other end of the spring is attached to the goods well in the vicinity of the goods issue area, whereby the bottom plate experiences a force in the direction of the goods issue area. Since the individual goods are stacked on the bottom plate, they also experience a force in the direction of Goods output range. An uncontrolled pushing out of the individual goods is prevented by the closing flap.
Die Klappe, die den Warenausgabebereich verschließt, ist aus einem Flachstück gebildet ist, dessen Enden zueinander hin gebogen sind, so dass die Klappe im Wesentlichen die Form eines Halbzylinders besitzt. An einem Ende der Klappe ist ein Griff angeformt, über welchen der Kunde die Klappe auf- beziehungsweise herausschwenken kann.The flap, which closes the goods issue area, is formed of a flat piece whose ends are bent toward each other, so that the flap has substantially the shape of a half-cylinder. At one end of the flap, a handle is formed over which the customer can swing the flap up or out.
Beim Herausschwenken greift das andere Ende der Klappe hinter eine Ware und schiebt diese aus den Warenausgabebereich hinaus zum Kunden. Gleichzeitig wird die Mantelfläche der halbzylinderförmigen Klappe über eine darunter befindliche (neue) Ware geführt, wodurch verhindert wird, dass diese in den Warenausgabebereich vorrückt, bevor die Klappe selbständig wieder hineinschwenkt oder hineingeschwenkt wird.When swinging out the other end of the flap engages behind a product and pushes them out of the goods issue area to the customer. At the same time, the lateral surface of the semi-cylindrical flap is guided over a (new) product underneath, which prevents it from advancing into the goods issue area before the flap is independently pivoted or pivoted back into it.
Vorteilhafterweise kann die Warenausgebevorrichtung in einen Kassentisch eines Warenhauses integriert werden. Dadurch kann der knappe Stauraum im Kassenbereich, insbesondere der Stauraum unterhalb und hinter dem Warenförderband, optimal ausgenutzt werden. Es kann sich bei den Waren auch um Tabakbeutel oder andere geometrisch unbestimmte Waren, beispielsweise verpackte Elektronikartikel, handeln.Advantageously, the goods issuing device can be integrated into a checkout counter of a department store. As a result, the scarce storage space in the checkout area, in particular the storage space below and behind the goods conveyor belt, can be optimally utilized. The goods may also be tobacco pouches or other geometrically indeterminate goods, such as packaged electronics.
Da es sich bei den einzelnen Waren um Tabakdosen handeln kann, ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Warenausgebevorrichtung mit einem Tabakwarenautomaten kombinierbar ist. Ein geeigneter Tabakwarenautomat ist beispielsweise aus der
Um anzuzeigen, wie viele Waren noch in einem einzelnen Warenschacht vorhanden sind, kann in der Nähe des Warenausgabebereichs ein Zählwerk angebracht sein, dass die Zahl der im Schacht befindlichen Waren anzeigt. Das Zählwerk kann mechanisch oder digital ausgeführt sein. Eine mechanische Version bietet sich an, wenn man die Warenausgabevorrichtung unabhängig vom Stromnetz betreiben möchte. Da die Warenausgabefunktion rein mechanisch funktioniert, ist dies durchaus möglich. Dadurch ist die Warenausgabevorrichtung außerdem besonders umweltfreundlich.In order to indicate how many goods are still present in a single goods slot, a counter may be located near the goods issue area, indicating the number of goods in the shaft. The counter can be mechanical or digital. A mechanical version is useful if you want to operate the goods dispenser independently of the mains. Since the goods issue function works purely mechanically, this is quite possible. As a result, the goods issuing device is also particularly environmentally friendly.
Die den Warenausgabebereich verschließende Klappe ist vorzugsweise durchsichtig ausgestaltet. Dadurch kann der Kunde die Ware direkt sehen und entsprechend auswählen. Die einzelnen Warenausgabebereiche müssen dadurch nicht mit dem Warennamen beschriftet werden und können wahlweise mit unterschiedlichen Waren bestückt werden ohne eine Beschriftung ändern oder anpassen zu müssen. Vorzugsweise ist die durchsichtige Klappe aus Polycarbonat hergestellt. Dadurch wird dieKlappe stabil und kratzfest ausgestaltet. Aber auch Verbundglas oder
andere durchsichtige Materialien sind durchaus geeignet. Insbesondere bei Tabakwaren bietet sich eine derartige Warenpräsentation an, da sich das Verpackungsdesign oft ändert.The flap closing the goods issue area is preferably designed to be transparent. This allows the customer to see the goods directly and select accordingly. The individual goods issue areas do not have to be labeled with the product name and can optionally be equipped with different goods without having to change or adapt a label. Preferably, the transparent flap is made of polycarbonate. As a result, the flap is made stable and scratch-resistant. But also laminated glass or
other transparent materials are quite suitable. In the case of tobacco goods in particular, such a presentation of goods offers itself, since the packaging design often changes.
Im Folgenden wird kurz der Betrieb der Warenausgabevorrichtung beschrieben:
In dem Warenschacht der Warenausgabevorrichtung können einzelne Waren, übereinander gestapelt, gespeichert werden. Dazu werden die einzelnen Waren auf die Bodenplatte des Schachts gelegt und entgegen der Federkraft in den Schacht hineingedrückt. Zuvor ist dazu die Klappe aus den Warenausgabebereich herauszuschwenken und beim Einschieben der Waren wieder hereinzuschwenken, damit die Bodenplatte von der Mantelfläche der Klappe freigegeben ist. Dieser Vorgang wird wiederholt bis der Warenschacht voll ist. Der Befüllvorgang wird quasi
invers zur Warenentnahme ausgeführt.The following briefly describes the operation of the goods issue device:
In the goods shaft of the goods issuing device, individual goods, stacked one above the other, can be stored. For this purpose, the individual goods are placed on the bottom plate of the shaft and pressed against the spring force into the shaft. Beforehand, the flap is to be swung out of the goods issue area and then swung in again when the goods are inserted, so that the bottom plate of the lateral surface of the Flap is released. This process is repeated until the goods bay is full. The filling process is quasi
inverse for goods removal.
Ein Kunde fasst den Griff der Klappe und schwenkt diese vom Warenausgabebereich weg (Herausschwenken). Dadurch wird die im Warenschacht oben aufliegende Ware aus den Warenausgabebereich hinausgeschoben. Die Mantelfläche der Klappe rollt über die darunter liegende, nächste Ware ab und verhindert dadurch das Nachrücken dieser Ware in den Warenausgabebereich. Der Kunde nimmt die Ware in Empfang und lässt die Klappe los, wodurch diese automatisch zurückschwenkt, beispielsweise durch Federwirkung. Die Mantelfläche verschwindet von der sich in Wartestellung befindlichen Ware, so dass diese in den Warenausgabebereich nachrückt.A customer grasps the handle of the flap and swivels it away from the goods issue area (swiveling out). As a result, the goods lying in the goods shaft above pushed out of the goods issue area. The lateral surface of the flap rolls over the underlying next goods, thereby preventing the movement of these goods in the goods issue area. The customer receives the goods and releases the flap, which automatically pivots it back, for example by spring action. The lateral surface disappears from the goods in waiting position, so that they move into the goods issue area.
Alternativ zum Loslassen der Klappe kann der Kunde die Klappe auch zum Warenausgabebereich zurückschwenken, wodurch das oben beschriebene Nachrücken einer Ware in den Warenausgabebereich ebenfalls erfolgt.As an alternative to letting go of the flap, the customer can also swing the flap back to the goods issue area, as a result of which the upward movement of a product into the goods issue area described above also takes place.
Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Warenausgabevorrichtung sind die Längsseiten des Warenschachtes in Richtung des Warenausgabebereichs nach innen gebogen und fungieren als Rückhalteelemente für die durch die Federkraft nach oben strebenden Waren. Der Kunde kann die Ware aus dieser Position nacheinander entnehmen. Ist eine Klappe vorgesehen, kann der Kunde nach dem Öffnen der Klappe eine Ware entnehmen.In an alternative embodiment of the goods dispensing device, the longitudinal sides of the goods shaft are bent inwards in the direction of the goods issue area and act as retaining elements for the goods which rise upwards by the spring force. The customer can remove the goods from this position one after the other. If a flap is provided, the customer can remove a product after opening the flap.
Die darunter befindliche Ware rückt in den Warenausgabebereich nach und wird wieder durch die Rückhalteelemente gebremst. Der Befüllvorgang erfolgt hier wieder umgekehrt zur Entnahme.The goods underneath move into the goods issue area and are again braked by the retaining elements. The filling process is again reversed for removal.
