Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for collecting empty bottles with a feed container which can be loaded from above in an input zone with the empty bottles and is designed as a trolley, the bottom of which from an upper starting position, depending on the amount of empty bottles entering the collecting container, with the aid of an over a motorized drive mechanism arranged in the input zone, which can be controlled, can be lowered step by step to a lower end position.
- a device of this type is known (GB-A 782380), in which the motor drive mechanism and the level sensing device are integrated in the carriage itself. These expensive installation parts can therefore only supply a relatively limited receiving volume for the empties. A full collection container must therefore be emptied immediately so that it is available for further empties acceptance. If this is not possible, replacement cars with drive and scanning units must be made available.
- the level scanning device enables the current input height to be adapted to the items entered, a single bottle input, which is essential for fully automatic empties accounting, is not provided there. In the event of the acceptance of empties, an operator must therefore always be available to count the bottles entered for the empties settlement.
- the invention is based on the object of improving the known collecting device of the type specified at the outset in such a way that the drive mechanism and the level sensing device are available for a large number of collecting container wagons which can be loaded via a single bottle input.
- the input mechanism has an acceptance rotor consisting of sectors for accepting individual bottles, and a bottle scanning device which responds to the size and shape of the empty bottles to be entered.
- the bottle scanning device can be connected to a computer for evaluating and storing the determined shape and size values.
- the input mechanism has two bottle drain plates, which point in opposite directions into the input zone of the collecting container, of which one or the other bottle drain plate can be loaded with an empty bottle, depending on the direction of rotation of the acceptance rotor.
- the light barriers which are fixed to the housing in the area of the input mechanism, on the one hand give an impulse to a computer under the influence of a bottle sliding past and, on the other hand, change the direction of rotation of the acceptance rotor by an additional impulse, as long as a bottle which has remained on a bottle drain plate does not interrupt one of the light barriers.
- a downward movement of the floor can be initiated by the light barrier interrupted by a bottle sliding out of the sector over the bottle drain plate, until the light barrier is free again, after which the floor can be raised again after having followed a caster path.
- the collecting device essentially consists of a stationary housing 2, which has an adjustment space for temporarily holding a collecting container wagon 1.
- the height-adjustable bottom 3 of the collecting container wagon 1 has laterally protruding support pins 4 which are brought into a loose connection with drivers 5 on a chain drive 6.
- a drive motor 7 serves to raise and lower the floor 3 via the chain wheels 8.
- a limit switch 9 limits the upward movement of the floor 3.
- an input mechanism which has an acceptance rotor 12 consisting of open sectors 11 for accepting individual bottles. Furthermore, there is provided a bottle scanning device which responds to the size and shape of the empty bottles to be entered, preferably having an ultrasound head 10, the values of which are recorded in a computer 13.
- the acceptance rotor 12 can start until the current is interrupted by a switching pin 16, which comes into a notch 17 in a disk 18 fastened on the shaft of the acceptance rotor 12. Simultaneously with the interruption, the direction of rotation of the acceptance rotor 12 is changed by entering an empty bottle, so that the empty bottles 41 sliding alternately over bottle drain plates 19 pass evenly to the left and right into the collecting container wagon without creating a bottle pyramid that could lead to a bottle breakage .
- guide lips 22 are arranged at the outer end of the surfaces delimiting the sectors 11 and guide flaps 24 are arranged on the housing part 23 surrounding the acceptance rotor 12.
- 12 light barriers 25, 26 are arranged on the housing part 23 on both sides of the acceptance rotor, which give the computer 13 a corresponding impulse by a bottle sliding past. If the bottle remains on the bottle drain plate 19, one of the light barriers 25 or 26 interrupts the circuit for the acceptance rotor 12 until the bottle drain plate 19 is free again and the obstructing bottle is rolled into the collecting container wagon 1. After each bottle acceptance, the acceptance rotor 12 changes its direction of rotation under the influence of the relays 27 and 15. During the rotary movement, the relay 15 is switched off via the relay 27 until the light barrier 25 or 26 is interrupted by a bottle which has remained on the bottle drain plate 19. When the light barrier 25 is interrupted, the relay 27 and when the light barrier 26 is interrupted, the relay 14 can no longer respond. The direction of rotation of the acceptance rotor 12 is maintained until the second light barrier 25 or 26 is interrupted again.
- the interruption of the light barriers 25 and 26 also has the consequence that the relay 28 responds and starts the drive motor 7 and thereby initiates a downward movement of the floor 3. After the light barrier 25, 26 has become free, this downward movement is continued by a time delay relay 29 in order to avoid an uncontrolled upward and downward movement.
- the relay 28 is connected in series with the delay relay 29 via both light barriers 25, 26.
- the duration of the run-on time caused by the relay 29 depends on the diameter of the largest acceptable empty bottles plus about 15 mm.
- the bottom 3 moves upwards again until the uppermost bottle lying on the bottom touches one of the two switching vanes 30 or 31 arranged under the bottle drain plates 19, which act on limit switches 32 or 33.
- the direction of rotation of the drive motor 7 from the upward travel via the relay 28 to the downward travel is achieved in that the relay 28 drops out after the overrun time, the limit switches 32 and 33 being released by the previous downward travel.
- a relay 34 picks up, causing the bottom 3 to move upward again until one of the limit switches 32 or 33 on the switching vanes 30 or 31 closes and the bottle drain plate 19 adhered to, thereby avoiding bottle breakage.
- a signal is triggered by a switch 35 which indicates that the collecting container wagon 1 which is now filled should be replaced by an empty one.
- the control system is de-energized by a limit switch 36 and at the same time a signal appears on a display part 37 which indicates that the bottle reception is blocked.
- a switch 38 which can be actuated via a door lock 39, causes the drive motor 7 to start, even if the limit switch 36 should not yet be closed, the relay 28 picking up primarily until the limit switch 36 is reached. This ensures that the bottom 3 is always in its lower end position after opening a housing door.
- the collecting device can be expanded so that the values determined by the computer 13 are transmitted to a printer 40 which determines and displays the bottle deposit to be expected.
