DE8100440U1 - DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE IN AND OUT OF GOODS - Google Patents

Description

The innovation relates to a device for checking the entry and exit of goods with a product identification (Control sections) provided goods, whereby the goods identification at least from a data carrier with machine readable data.

In department store chains or large department stores, the individual goods are often provided with product labels, all of which contain the data necessary for the sale, inventory and replacement of such goods by Are important. Such goods labels are usually in the form of punched cards that either at the respective intermediate stations but in particular at the sales department and then a data processing system which reads the necessary data and processes it further. Such systems are expensive and space-consuming, so that they are usually not portable for smaller businesses. They also offer the well-known Systems and devices do not allow the precise identification of the respective storage location of the individual goods, in order to enable an exchange between several shops. But this is precisely for such sales chains important who work with several shops located in a city or in neighboring cities and one want the smallest possible inventory. Despite the small inventory, the individual customer should have the largest possible Offer, which is why an exchange of the individual goods between the shops is very advantageous.

The innovation is based on the task of creating a device for monitoring incoming and outgoing goods, which is little labor and investment and a quick and accurate identification of the storage location of the individual goods.

The object is achieved according to the innovation in that a separating unit and a reading unit are in one housing are arranged joined to one another, the separating unit having a collecting shaft for the separated control sections and a common transport device is assigned to both.

Such a device is initially characterized by small dimensions and is therefore excellent suitable for such sales chains with individual shops. In addition, the device enables a connection to a central computer, that of the respective device the necessary determined data are supplied. The control sections, from which the goods label is composed, collected and prepared so that they can be read by the reading unit can be read safely and precisely - The special design of the common transport device enables to arrange both units close together within one housing.

In order to enable reliable reading, the control sections must be fed individually to the reading unit. This is given by the fact that a separator partially separates the lower end of the collecting shaft at the outlet of the collecting shaft is arranged closing. The individual control

In this training, the cut is caused by the separator and then fed into the outlet Hand over the transport device.

It is also useful, in order to enable reliable reading, to select the transport device from several of the To form the middle and / or the sides of the control sections leaving free, uniformly driven conveyor belts. The conveyor belts and / or rollers expediently grasp and guide the edges of the individual control sections from above and below.

The reading unit exists according to the innovation

from one or more optoelectronic or magnetic read heads, an electronic decoder and an interface. With such a unit, control sections with a wide variety of information can be read. This includes in particular control sections with bar codes, magnetic strips, OCR fonts or line markings. Even if the interface structure of the reading unit with that of the computer or the data processing part is not match, the data and signals are perfectly matched via the interface.

Defective or individual control sections can easily be identified, even if the Reading unit does not allow this in individual cases by the interface and / or the decoder plug-in contacts for a has electronic reading pen, via this plug contact an electronic wand can be connected to the interface or the decoder so that the defective Control section can be read easily in this way.

The device according to the innovation can also be used expediently for inventory purposes, since the interface or the decoder has a coupling for a further unit consisting of a decoder and a reading pen. on in this way it is possible to use such a portable unit and then use the interface to collect the data to be supplied to the data processing system.

The innovation is characterized in particular by the fact that with a small construction and a low investment outlay required device a possibility is created, control sections (goods labeling) to be isolated with small dimensions and to read mechanically, each in advance in an expedient manner and with little Effort have been produced economically. These small-sized control sections can also be used in small numbers of items are readily produced and read economically, advantageously at the point of use can be provided with the necessary data yourself. The innovation also offers the option of To determine the storage location of a certain desired goods, so that these then according to the respective needs to a other intermediate storage or sale can be brought.

The innovation is explained in more detail below with reference to the figures in the drawings. Show it:

When they arrive at the central warehouse, the individual goods are labeled with goods labels (not shown here) Mistake. The goods labels are expediently in place from a label that can also be read by the consumer and several detachable control cards. These are separated when leaving the central warehouse or intermediate storage or sales and then with the help of the in Fig. and Fig. 2 shown device processed.

The individual control sections 2o, 21 are first fed to the separating unit accommodated in the housing Io. The reading unit is also arranged in the same housing Io. The control sections 2o, 21 are then initially stored in the collecting shaft 12, from where they are transferred to the transport device 17 with the aid of the separator 13 through the outlet 14 at the lower end 15 of the collecting shaft 12. The isolator 13 is in this case i _n the collecting shaft 12 are arranged so as to project, that the individual control sections 2o, 21 lie with a certain inclination in the collecting shaft 12th

This ensures that it can be pushed out safely through the outlet 14. The transport device arranged close to the outlet 14 17 detects the control cards 2o, 21 and leads them to a collecting container 24, where they are deposited. The transport device 17 preferably consists of four conveyor belts that form the edges of the control sections 2o, 21 from above and below. The individual control sections 2o, 21 are safe under the Read head 26 shown in FIG. 2 so that it can read the data. The reading unit 25 also consists of the decoder 27 and the interface 28. A reading pen 29 can be connected to the interface 28 via a plug 3o, so that even damaged or individual control sections 2o can be easily identified and read. Instead of one, several reading heads 26 can also be used.
