Abstract

The device has a movement sensor e.g. optical movement sensor, provided for detecting an approach of a person to a container, where the device is supplied via a battery or a power supply unit. An interface is controlled in order to provide confirmation about a filling condition of the container to the person, when the approach is detected. A sensor e.g. optical sensor, is provided for detecting the filling condition of the container. Mechanical elements e.g. spring elements, are utilized for lifting and lowering the container. A button element controls a LED, which illuminates the container.

Description

Ist Zustand/Zu Grunde liegendes Problem:Condition / Underlying problem:

Füllzustände von Behältnissen (bspw. von transparenten Medien in transparenten/transluzenten Behältnissen) sind oft nur schwer/nicht unmittelbar für den Benutzer erkennbar/wahrnehmbar.Fill states of containers (eg of transparent media in transparent / translucent containers) are often difficult / not immediately recognizable / perceptible to the user.

Diese Wahrnehmung erfordert einen zusätzlichen Zeit-/Konzentrations-/taktilen Aufwand (Manuelle Prüfung der einzelnen Behältnisse auf Inhalt (Inhalt vorhanden oder nicht vorhanden)).These Perception requires an extra Time / concentration / tactile effort (manual testing of the individual containers on content (content existent or absent)).

Verbesserung/Problemlösung:Improvement / problem solving:

Durch die zu schätzende Vorrichtung soll eine Schnittstelle geschaffen werden, die den Benutzer über den Ist-Zustand (mit Inhalt/Ohne Inhalt) des Behältnisses informiert.By the one to be appreciated Device is to be created an interface that the user on the Actual status (with content / no content) of the container.

Wichtig: Es handelt sich um keine Füllstandsmessung im herkömmlichen Sinne. Vielmehr sollen (nur) zwei vordefinierte Zustände des Behältnisses von Interesse sein (Bspw. mit Inhalt oder ohne Inhalt – die genaue Inhaltsmenge ist unbedeutend)Important: It is not a level measurement in the conventional Sense. Rather, there should be (only) two predefined states of the container be of interest (eg with content or without content - the exact Content amount is insignificant)

Beschreibungdescription

Zu patentieren ist eine ergänzende und/oder integrierte Vorrichtung für Behältnis-aufnahme-/lagerungs-/-kommisionierungseinheiten zur verbesserten Zustandserkennung und Zustandssignalisierung (optisch, elektrisch, taktil, akustisch, haptisch etc.) des vorherrschenden Behältniszustandes (Bspw. mit Inhalt oder ohne Inhalt, Art des Inhaltsmediums, etc.).To Patenting is a complementary one and / or integrated container receptacle / storage / picking unit device for improved state detection and status signaling (optical, electric, tactile, acoustic, haptic, etc.) of the predominant container status (Eg with content or without content, type of content medium, etc.).

Über eine Schnittstelle wird dem Benutzer der Ist-Zustand rückgemeldet (optisch, taktil, elektrisch, akustisch, haptisch etc.).Over a Interface, the user is informed of the current status (optical, tactile, electric, acoustic, haptic, etc.).

Die Realisierung der Schnittstelle/Rückmeldung kann in unterschiedlichen Varianten erfolgen:

  • • Mechanisch; bspw. durch Anheben/Absenken der Behältnisse bei definiertem Zustand/Absenken/Anheben der Behältnisse eines abweichenden Zustandes)
  • • Optisch, durch Beleuchtung der Behältnisse bei definiertem Zustand/nicht Beleuchtung oder andersfarbige Beleuchtung der Behältnisse eines davon abweichenden Zustandes.
  • • Elektronisch/elektrisch, Ist-Zustandsdarstellung auf Interface (Electronischen Geräten (Display, PDA, Mobiltelefon etc.)
The realization of the interface / feedback can be done in different variants:
  • • Mechanical; for example by lifting / lowering the containers in the defined state / lowering / lifting the containers of a deviating state)
  • • Visually, by illuminating the containers in a defined state / not lighting or otherwise colored illumination of the containers of a different condition.
  • • Electronic / electrical, actual status display on interface (electronic devices (display, PDA, mobile phone, etc.)

Die Stormversorgung der elektronischen Vorrichtung kann mittels Netzteil oder autonomen Batteriebetrieb erfolgen.The Storm supply of the electronic device can by means of power supply or autonomous battery operation.

Der Sog. Standby-Betrieb sorgt für eine Annäherungserkennung mittels Bewegungsmelder (optisch, infrarot, kapazitiv, mechanisch, elektronisch, etc.).Of the So-called. Standby operation ensures an approach detection by means of motion detectors (optical, infrared, capacitive, mechanical, electronic, etc.).

Wird eine Annäherung erkannt, werden/wird die Schnittstelle(-en) angesteuert um Rückmeldung (optisch, taktil, elektrisch, akustisch, haptisch etc.) über Zustand der/des Behältnisse(s) zu geben.Becomes an approach detected, the interface (s) is / are activated to feedback (optical, tactile, electrical, acoustic, haptic, etc.) about the condition of the container (s) to give.

Der Zustand der Behältnisse wird mittels Sensoren festgestellt (optisch, taktil, kapazitiv, induktiv, elektrisch, elektronisch)Of the Condition of the containers is determined by means of sensors (optical, tactile, capacitive, inductive, electric, electronic)

Bei Mechanischer Lösung der Vorrichtung kann die Anhebung/Absenkung mittels Stromunabhängigen mechanischen Elementen gelöst werden (mech. Federelement, Hubzylinder etc.)at Mechanical solution the device can the raising / lowering by means of current independent mechanical Solved elements (mechanical spring element, lifting cylinder, etc.)

Ausführungsbeispiel:Embodiment:

Hier am Beispiel einer Getränkekiste:
Die Vorrichtung wird unter einer Getränkekiste angebracht – mittels Batterie oder Netzteil wird die Steuerung mit Strom versorgt.Here's the example of a crate:
The device is mounted under a crate - powered by battery or power supply, the controller.

Über einen Bewegungssensor (optisch, taktil, elektrisch, elektronisch, induktiv, infrarot, kapazitiv etc.) wird die Annäherung einer Person detektiert und die Steuerung(-en) mit Strom versorgt.About one Motion sensor (optical, tactile, electric, electronic, inductive, infrared, capacitive, etc.), the approach of a person is detected and powering the controller (s).

Im o. g. Fall wird bspw. über Federkontaktelemente unterhalb des Behältnisses (hier Getränkeflasche) ein Tastelement bei einem vordefinierten Zustand, bspw. Behältnis mit Inhalt oder Behältnis ohne Inhalt, aktiviert, und steuert ein LED, welches das Behältnis beleuchtet.in the o. g. Case is over, for example Spring contact elements below the container (here beverage bottle) a probe element in a predefined state, for example. Container with Content or container without content, activated, and controls an LED, which illuminates the container.

Der Zustand der einzelnen Behältnisse wird optisch, und/oder taktil/haptisch (Höhe des Behältnisses) an den Benutzer rückgemeldet.Of the Condition of the individual containers is visually, and / or tactile / haptic (height of the container) fed back to the user.

In diesem Fall werden Behältnisse mit Inhalt mittels Leuchtmedium beleuchtet, Behältnisse ohne Inhalt bleiben unbeleuchtet.In this case will be containers illuminated with content by means of light source, containers remain empty unlit.

Behältnisse unterschiedlichen Inhaltes können mit Leuchtmedien unterschiedlicher Farbgebung beleuchtet werden.containers different content can illuminated with light media of different colors.

Bei Entfernung der Person wird das System in den Standby-Modus zurückversetzt (Bewegungsmelder bleibt aktiv).at If the person is removed, the system returns to standby mode (Motion detector remains active).

Erzielte Vorteile:Achieved benefits:

Schnellere und deutlichere Erkennung des Ist-Zustandes/Kritischer Zustände von Behältnissen (mit Inhalt oder ohne Inhalt).faster and clearer recognition of the actual state / critical states of Containers (with Content or content).

Deutliche Komfortsteigerung der Handhabung für den Benutzer.Significant comfort increase of Handha exercise for the user.
