Definitions
- the invention relates to a checkout counter with self-scanning in an embodiment according to the description in the preamble of claim 1.
- the weight of each individual product is determined at two successive points during the settlement process and a comparison of the recorded values is carried out.
- the first weight determination takes place when the goods are scanned, the respective weight can be taken from the bar code if the piece weight is contained in it. But it can also be part of a scale, the tray that contains the window for the scanner.
- the piece weight is then determined a second time in the course of the table conveyor belt; the recorded values are compared individually or as a whole. If the comparison does not match, the goods transport is interrupted and the customer is made aware of the discrepancy by a signal or other information.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for checking or monitoring the scanned goods for a checkout stand with self-scanning, in which reliable monitoring of the scanned goods can be achieved with simple, functionally reliable structural means.
- a contactless counter barrier e.g. a radiation barrier
- the pulse outputs of the scanner and counter are each connected to a display element visible to the cashier and / or are connected to an electronic pulse evaluator.
- the number of items to be settled in the new solution is recorded at two points and compared with one another. Counting at the first position is done automatically with the scanning, while for the counting at a subsequent position only a radiation barrier, e.g. a light barrier must be provided.
- the counting barrier can advantageously consist of at least one light beam running transversely to the conveying direction in the conveying path of the goods between a light source and a photocell.
- the evaluation of the counting impulses it can be advantageous to trigger a light signal recognizable for the customer and the cashier in the event of a match between the counting impulses of the scanner and the control impulses.
- the signal evaluation can also be used to switch off the conveyor belt or to initiate other measures.
- a goods catch bar which is transverse to the conveying direction and which is mounted at one end in the conveying direction so as to be slidable and pivotable at the checkout counter and into an end position located in the vicinity of the packing box is movable.
- the above-mentioned goods catch bar has the task of preventing the further transport of the scanned goods until the cashier has finished the cash settlement with the respective customer.
- the invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment shown schematically in the drawing.
- the only drawing shows a basic layout of two self-scanning cash desks arranged next to one another, which a cash register and the workstation for the cashier, who is responsible for both cash desks, hold between them, while the customer passageways are located on the outside of the cash desks .
- the checkout counter (1) consists of a substructure with an upper rectangular frame (2), which in the direction of the interior of the self-service shop encloses a goods shelf (3), then a table conveyor belt (4) and a packing box (5) at its exit end .
- Goods storage plate (3) and table conveyor belt (2) lie in the same horizontal plane, while the packing box (5) has a bottom that slopes towards the rear end.
- the pack box (5) can also be divided into two areas by a movable slide for reciprocal acceptance of invoiced goods.
- a glass window (6) is embedded in the level of the goods storage slat (3), under which there is a conventional scanner, by means of which the bar code on the goods to be billed can be read.
- the unit prices read are recorded in a cash register (7) and, if necessary, in a central computer.
- the cash register (7) is designed as a double cash register, so that the cashier (8) can register and bill for each cash register stand.
- the cashier's workplace (8) is located in front of the double cash register (7) with the main view facing the cash register. From this sitting position, she can observe both checkouts (1) and carry out the billing process with the respective customer until the money is returned.
- the cash drawer is located at (9).
- a goods catch bar (10) which is transverse to the conveying direction, is slidably mounted on a guide (11) on the inner longitudinal side.
- the goods catch bar (10) can be moved manually or mechanically between a front and a rear end position. For moving back to the front end position, it can be swiveled up manually or mechanically temporarily out of its horizontal working position. Their meaning is explained below.
- a customer passage (12) On the outer long side of the checkout (1) there is a customer passage (12), the width of which is smaller than the width of a shopping cart. Adjacent to the customer passage (12) is a wagon lock (13) for receiving empty shopping trolleys (14).
- a light barrier (15) is provided at a certain distance behind the goods support plate (3) for checking the quantity of the scanned goods.
- This light barrier can consist of a light source and a photocell located on the opposite side of the table conveyor belt, which delivers counting pulses at its output. When the customer is scanning the goods, the number of scanned goods is also recorded. A second count takes place when passing the light barrier (15).
- Two pieces of information are thus available in the form of counting pulses.
- This information can be evaluated in various ways.
- One possibility is to process the counting pulses in a comparison circuit and, with the aid of this comparison circuit, to trigger a light signal that can be recognized by the customer and the cashier if they match.
- the result of the respective comparison of the counting pulses can also be used to switch off the drive of the table conveyor belt (4). Regardless of the solution chosen in each case, it should be ensured that there is a signal visible to the customer which indicates its correctness each time a scanning process has ended. This has the additional advantage that customers know that the scanning of their goods is automatically monitored for correctness.
- a customer's billing process can be as follows: The filled shopping cart (17) brought by the customer (16) assumes approximately the position shown in the drawing. The customer (16) guides the goods removed from the shopping cart (17) one after the other via the window (6) of the goods storage plate (3) to the beginning of the table conveyor belt (4), which transports the goods to the rear end, successively passing the light barrier ( 15) happen. So much for the goods catch bar (10) is in the front end position, it is moved further by the incoming goods to its rear end position.
- the customer (16) can inform the cashier (8) of the end of his billing process either directly or by pressing a switch (18), which is connected to an optical or acoustic signal.
- the cashier (8) can now check whether the two times the number of pieces of the scanned goods matches or not. In the event of a match, the monetary settlement takes place between the customer (16) and the cashier (8), the customer (16) still being in the initial area of the table conveyor belt (4).
- a barrier (19) can be provided in the customer passage (12), which is released by the cashier (8) after the billing process has ended.
- the shopping trolley (17) Before the shopping trolley (17) is emptied, it is transported by the customer (16) to the end of the stack of shopping trolleys in the trolley lock (13).
- the goods collecting bar (10) After completion of the billing process, the goods collecting bar (10) is now raised by the cashier (8) and moved from the rear to the front end position. This can also be done mechanically.
- the billed goods thus go into the packing box (5), from which the customer (16) can either repack them directly into a shopping bag or into a new empty shopping cart (20). Empty shopping carts are available to customers (16) at the end of the wagon lock (13).
