DE202015003504U1 - Push or pull systems for the vertical transport of goods of all kinds, in particular beverage cans - Google Patents

Abstract

Device for presenting goods and products of all kinds, but especially beverage cans (3), which can be presented in coolers (1). Structure according to claims characterized in that they are pushed in tubes (2) with springs (4) or other thrust systems (5, 6, 7) in the cooled or uncooled state upwards.

Description

The present invention relates to a novel device, which makes it possible to transport beverage cans or products in any form by a mechanical system in the vertical, as well as slope, especially in a cool box, upwards. Since the product / can is transported vertically and separately in tubes or dedicated rails vertically, it is ensured that each individual can can always be taken out of the system cooled. In particular, the invention relates to goods which are used and sold refrigerated in everyday use. The invention enables beverage cans cooled, or individually, which are suitable by the packaging of the system to transport individually upwards.

This invention makes it possible to place products effectively and effectively at checkout counters, gas stations, etc. By adjusting the height, therefore, products can always be pushed into the desired grip height and therefore presented in a customer-friendly way. The permanent Nachschieben of the product allows a perfect and unique presentation of the product and is thus brought for the customer always in an optimal grip position and also always appears in a fully filled state. Through this system and the associated optimal and clean presentation, the product gets a unique added value in all areas.

Presentation of the invention

The present invention is based on the object of providing a device which makes it possible to individually remove or present products in the entire or each part. The whole thing is to make it easier for the customer to remove products at grip height from the device and thereby avoid unpleasant stooping and searching in lower-lying shelves.

By individual, individual Nachschieben the cans, the product is always presented perfectly and unique. When a can is removed, the next can is automatically pushed in and moved to the same position as the removed can. By Nachschieben is always presented a full refrigerator with cans.

The use of this system makes it easier for the customer to remove the product and thus saves him the unpleasant stooping and lifting of the goods from lower shelves, and when not in use the annoying stooping and returning the goods. Likewise, the system avoids that the goods here are improperly covered and damaged.

In particular, in the illustrated system (cool boxes / refrigerators) avoided that the customer with half empty coolers the cans, reached by the height of the coolers, only difficult and must bend headfirst into the cool box, and if not buy this again inattentively in the cool box throws and thereby damaged.

This invention makes it possible by removing the product in detail that here, as with other refrigerators, cumbersome cooling doors or covers need not be opened or removed to get to the goods and thereby exhausts unnecessary cooled air, which in turn leads to higher energy consumption for cooling ,

In the particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cans are individually stacked in tubes and conveyed upwards. By removing a single can from the tube, the next can is automatically advanced and no cold air can escape. The next can is pushed immediately without interruption and the cooling system always remains closed.

With a specially fitted rubber lip on the upper edge of the pipe, the tolerance required by the can for the movement is compensated, thus preventing the escape of cold air. With the removal of the last cans, the system is closed by the precisely fitting plug on which the last can stands, thus preventing the escape of cooled air.

This advantageous embodiment of the closed system makes it possible to use a blower to redistribute the cold air faster, and thus to cool the cans faster and more effectively in the shortest possible time without escaping cooled air and losing energy. This version, in which the cans are conveyed upwards in pipes, offers the further advantage that, when the cooler is refilled, the cans through the pre-cooled tubes cool more quickly and thus reach the ideal drinking temperature more quickly.

The tubes can be cooled individually with this cooling coil directly, which in turn allows the product is cooled even faster and more effective, which is especially in busy places, such as cash registers at gas stations, in department stores, etc. of advantage and therefore very customer-oriented. The system of single cooling even allows it in a box Cans in two different versions, refrigerated and uncooled, to offer.

Brief description of the drawings

Other objects, features, advantages and applications of the device according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawings. All described or illustrated features alone or in any combination form the subject matter of the invention, regardless of the summary in individual claims or their dependency.

The drawings show

1 The system in the open state from the side view.

2 . 3 . 4 . 5 show the device in the open state in different techniques.

6 . 7 and 8th show the device in plan view in which different forms the cans and can be pushed up or transported.

9 shows the top view of the device in which the can is pushed through a rubber lip, which serves for sealing.

10 and 11 show the top view of a possible arrangement forms of the cans.

12 Figure 3 illustrates an open device in which, by tuning the technique, it is possible to push the cans at different heights.

13 shows a tube with side openings or slots, which are needed for the guide, and also serves to better cooling the cans.

Embodiment of the invention

1 shows the system in side view in a preferred embodiment, which shows how the can (s) 3 in a tube 2 by a spring 4 pushed upwards. The plate 8th on which the can stands, which with the spring 4 connected, offers by this design a good adaptation to the can 3 , Through the tube rejuvenation 12 will prevent the plate 8th , which by the compression spring 4 or the cylinder 6 , the air cushion or the rubber 7 , the tin 3 when reaching the optimum final height from the pipe 2 is pushed.

In 2 is shown how the can (s) 2 in the pipe 3 by a tension spring 5 or spiral spring 5 on the plate 8th is pulled up.

In 3 is shown how the can (s) 2 through the outside spring 4 on the pipe 2 outside and also the can 3 , which on the pins 11 and a specially provided sleeve 9 stands and over in the pipe 2 longitudinal slots 14 is led up and pushed. Through the sleeve 9 may leak fluid from a can 3 Prevent these from entering the tube 2 runs and it comes here to malfunction and contamination.

In 4 is represented as the can (s) in the pipe 2 through a cylinder 6 , which is operated with oil or air, is pushed upwards.

In 5 is represented as the can (s) in the pipe 2 through a pillow filled with air 7 or with a specially tailored rubber 7 pushed upwards.

In 6 . 7 and 8th become different tube shapes 2 with bars 13 shown as the can 3 in the pipe 2 to be led.

In 9 is represented as by a rubber lip 10 through which the can 3 is pushed, here is prevented between can 3 and the tube 2 Cold emanates.

In 12 is represented as by different strengths of the springs or the thrust system 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 the cans) 3 which are in the pipes 2 pushed upwards, an individual appearance of the box (s) 3 can be generated.

In 13 is shown as the pipes 3 with slits 14 are thereby provided by the cross-connection 11 controlled to push upwards, thereby additionally still faster and more effective cooling of the cans 3 to reach.
