Abstract

本发明涉及一种推车，包括一个用于保持和释放代币的元件，所述元件包括一个传感器，它检测包括该用于保持和释放代币的元件的推车是否被推入另一辆推车之内。如果是这种情况，该用于保持和释放代币的元件启用止动器并释放代币。为了使用推车，必须将一枚代币插入到该用于保持和释放代币的元件中，从而停用该止动器。

Description

购物推车
技术领域
【0001】本发明涉及一种购物推车，它装备了一个代币系统和一个止动器。
【0002】该代币系统的作用是直至插入一枚代币后才能将这种购物推车从一个收集站取出，并且直至将该购物推车送回一个收集站后才能取回代币。直至将一枚代币再次插入该代币系统后才可以使用该购物推车。
【0003】该止动器防止在一个限定的区域之外能够使用一个购物推车。
背景技术
【0004】现有技术中已知多种代币系统。在一些系统中，将可以相互叠套的多辆购物推车用锁和链条连接起来。为了要使用该购物推车，必须将一枚代币插入锁中。只有将该购物推车套进另一辆购物推车并用链条再次连接到另一购物推车后才会释放出代币。
【0005】在许多代币系统中，为了释出代币，购物推车还需要用另一个链条栓到一个收集站上方可释出代币。
【0006】现有技术中也已知存在几种类型的止动器。这些止动器用于防止在一个限定的允许区域之外使用购物推车。这些止动器包含用于检测许可区域的装置，以及用于阻止使用购物推车的附加的机械作用装置。有一些止动器，其中通过至少一个滚轮可使购物推车被阻止。在其他止动器中，购物推车的转向受到限制而使之不再能够沿直线移动。
发明内容
【0007】本发明在于以下事实：即代币系统中的已知元件与止动器的元件相互作用，并且这种新的相互作用提供了一种具有协同效应的新组合。
【0008】该代币系统使用了用于保持和释放该代币的元件，并且该止动器使用了阻止该滚轮或限制其转向的元件。
具体实施方式
【0009】用于保持和释放代币的元件包含一个传感器，它可以检测在其上安装了用于保持和释放代币的元件的购物推车是否被推入另一辆购物推车之中。
【0010】然后，该用于保持和释放代币的元件启用该止动器并释放出代币。
【0011】为了使用购物推车，必须将一枚代币插入该用于保持和释放代币的元件之中。然后该止动器被停用。
【0012】该止动器的启用防止了该购物推车在无意中滚动开。
【0013】在本发明的一个发展中，所提供的安排使该传感器的功能被扩展的程度为对存在的一个或多个另外的条件进行感应，并且只有在额外满足另外或多个条件时，才会释放代币。
【0014】这些另外的条件之一可以是位置信息，该位置信息确保只有当该购物推车被停放在一个特定位置时才会释放代币。
【0015】这使之有可能只有当该购物推车是位于一个收集点并被正确推入另一辆购物推车时才会再次释出代币。
【0016】该收集点必须被如此配置，使得排在一系列购物推车前头的第一辆购物推车的传感器接收到的信息相当于将该购物推车推入另一辆购物推车时该传感器接收的信息。
【0017】这就防止了已经互相推入的购物推车在按照本计划提供的收集点之外形成“混乱排列”。
【0018】在该收集点，这些购物推车由该止动器刹车，并形成一个分别单独刹车的购物推车组。
【0019】在本发明的一个发展中，所提供的安排使一位经授权的人士利用一种特殊装置而不必使用一个代币，就能够停用一辆或多辆购物推车的止动器。
【0020】例如，如果服务人员要将购物推车从一个收集点推到另一个收集点时，这就是必要的。
【0021】如果将一枚代币插进最后一辆购物推车中，该购物推车的止动器被停用并且该购物推车可以移动。
【0022】于是，该购物推车可供用于运输所购买货物的一般目的。
【0023】若试图将购物推车推到由该购物推车提供者所限定的许可区域之外，则该止动器就被启用。
【0024】在这种情况下不会释放出代币。
【0025】图1以一个示意性图示来展示本发明：
【0026】多辆购物推车被停放成一堆1。每辆购物推车都有用于保持和释放代币的一个代币元件2以及至少对一个车轮起作用的一个止动器3。这些止动器3功能性地与该元件2连接。
【0027】释放代币的钥匙被插入到代币元件2中。在释放代币的同时，止动器3被启用。
【0028】最后一辆购物推车实际上被推入该堆1中。在这个代币元件2a中有一个代币，该止动器3a没有被启用，购物推车可以正常移动。
【0029】该代币元件还可包括一个传感器，只有将该购物推车完全推入到前面的购物推车之中时，该传感器才释放出代币。
工业实用性
【0030】本发明都可以应用在基于代币来提供购物推车并且要将其送还到一个收集点的任何地方。
