Abstract
Laufband-Transport-Steuerung für die Kasse, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie aus mindestens – einem Gewicht-Sensor, der kleinste Gewichte auf das Laufband erfassen kann und der mit dem Laufband-Elektromotor so gekoppelt ist, dass bei Gewicht-Erfassung der Einkaufsware, das Laufband automatisch startet, – einer Lichtschranke, die am Kassen-Nähe-Bereich angebracht ist und die mit dem Laufband-Antriebs-Elektromotor so gekoppelt ist, dass das Lauf-Band sofort gestoppt wird, wenn sie unterbrochen ist, besteht.Treadmill transport control for the cash register, characterized in that it comprises at least - a weight sensor which can detect the smallest weights on the treadmill and which is coupled to the treadmill electric motor so that when weight-detection of the shopping goods, the Treadmill starts automatically, - a photocell, which is attached to the cash register area and which is coupled to the treadmill drive electric motor so that the running band is stopped immediately when it is interrupted, exists.
Description
Der Kassierer oder die Kassiererin im Supermarkt leisten eine Menge Arbeit. Sie müssen dauernd die Ware vom Laufband am Scanner vorbeiführen und das Wechselgeld zurückgeben.

Die Patentschrift
Die Anmeldung US 5 543 607 A beschreibt ein relativ kompliziertes Gerät, das für die Kasse in einem Laden oder Supermarket konzipiert ist. Es ist mit zahlreiche Systeme ausgestattet, die die Ware erfassen können und das unter anderen auch mit einem Waren-Laufband gekoppelt ist.The application US 5 543 607 A describes a relatively complicated device designed for the cash register in a shop or supermarket. It is equipped with numerous systems that can detect the goods and that is coupled, among other things, with a goods treadmill.
Die Anmeldung
Der vorliegenden Anmeldung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Steuerung für das Supermarkt-Laufband zu schaffen, das vollautomatisch die Ware erkennen kann und sie bis zu der Kasse transportiert.The present application is based on the problem of providing a control system for the supermarket treadmill, which can recognize the goods fully automatically and transports them to the cash register.
Dieses Problem wird mit den in einer Laufband-Transport-Steuerung für die Kasse mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche 1 bzw. 2 gelöst. Die Patentansprüche 3 bis 9 stellen vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen dar.This problem is solved with the in a treadmill transport control for the cash register with the features of the
Vorteile der Erfindung sind:
- – sie ermöglicht eine entspanntes Arbeiten für Kassen-Mitarbeiter,
- – sie funktioniert nahezu vollautomatisch.
- - It allows a relaxed work for cashier employees,
- - It works almost fully automatically.
Diese Erfindung ist eine komfortable Lösung auch für die Kunden. Sobald die Einkaufsware auf das Band gelegt wird, wird sie automatisch bis zu der Kasse transportiert. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der
Das Laufband
Das Laufband kann auch mit Hilfe von Gewichtsensoren überwacht werden. Sobald ein kleines Gewicht über das Band gelegt wird, startet er den Transport bis zur Kasse. Eine andere Lichtschranke in der nähe der Kasse kann dann den automatischen Transport stoppen. Das Band kann mit Markierungen ausgestattet werden, die einen automatischen Transport automatisch an der Stelle stoppen, wenn die Markierung die Kasse erreicht hat. Auch die Waren-Begrenzleiste (eine Plastik- oder Holz-Leiste, die von den Kunden auf das Laufband gelegt wird um seine eingekaufte Ware von den des anderen Kunden zu trennen) kann mit einem Sensor-System ausgestattet werden, sodass, wenn sie in der nähe der Kassenbereich auf das Laufband erscheint, den Laufband-Transport unterbricht. Auf diese Weise ist gewährleistet, dass der Transport nicht die Ware von verschiedenen Kunden durcheinander oder zusammen bringt. Die Leiste kann mit einer Transponder-Spule, eine kleine halbsphärische Spiegelfläche an den Enden oder einfach mit einem Magnet ausgestattet werden.The treadmill can also be monitored by weight sensors. As soon as a small weight is placed over the belt, it starts the transport to the cash register. Another photocell near the cash register can then stop the automatic transport. The tape can be equipped with markers that automatically stop an automatic transport at the point when the mark has reached the cash register. Also the goods-limit strip (a plastic or wood strip, which is placed by the customer on the treadmill to separate his purchased goods from those of the other customer) can be equipped with a sensor system, so when in the near the cash register area appears on the treadmill, the treadmill transport interrupts. In this way it is ensured that the transport does not confuse the goods of different customers or together. The bar can be equipped with a transponder coil, a small hemispherical mirror surface at the ends or simply with a magnet.
