Definitions
- the invention relates to a cup take-back machine with a cup insertion space and a cup collecting space.
- Cup return machines are intended to create an incentive for used cups, in particular drinking cups, to be collected and to be disposed of in an orderly manner and, if appropriate, for waste recycling.
- the fresh cups are issued for a deposit, which is refunded by the cup return machine when the used cup is thrown in.
- the cup is equipped with a suitable identifier.
- the used cup is accepted by the cup return machine or at least the deposit is given only if it is actually a cup with such a code and the code has also been recognized as correct by the cup return system.
- Cup stacking enabling cup alignment and with the cup opening facing downward can reach the receiving opening of the stacking shaft.
- the advantage achieved by the invention is that the cups do not fill the cup collecting space in a complete disorder and with a correspondingly large space requirement, but are stacked beforehand in a space-saving manner, so that there is an optimally small space requirement for a correspondingly large number of cups, the cup return machine has a very large collection capacity.
- the stacking process is only possible if each cup has always been one Alignment that he will then have in the stack. This is ensured by the transfer device upstream of the stacking shaft, which according to the invention is also used to allow the cups to be stacked only upside down, that is to say with the cup opening turned downward, so that, for example, residual contents still remaining in the cup can run out and be collected.
- the transfer device has a guide cylinder which receives the cup in a substantially axis-parallel orientation and is open at the top and bottom on the end face and which is at the top of a passage opening provided in the bottom of the cup insertion space connects the cup ' and opens below the receiving opening of the stacking shaft, that the guide cylinder is also provided with a catch member which is adjustable between two states in a controllable manner, holding the cup in the guide cylinder in one state and releasing to fall through in the other state , and that the guide cylinder is equipped with a sensor for querying an identifier provided on the cup wall, the catch member and the sensor being arranged relative to one another in such a way that only when the cup opening is facing downward from the catch member in the guide cylinder held cup
- the cup in the guide cylinder has the wrong orientation and must be rotated.
- the catch member is arranged in the guide cylinder with respect to the passage opening in the bottom of the cup insertion space in such a way that a cup held by the catch member in the guide cylinder protrudes upward from the guide cylinder into the cup insertion space. Then, with incorrect alignment, the cup can be grasped by hand on its part still protruding into the cup insertion space, removed from the guide cylinder, turned over and reinserted into the guide cylinder in the correct orientation.
- the senor be connected from a reflection light barrier arranged outside the guide cylinder to a window provided in the cylinder jacket with a detection area directed through the window into the interior of the guide cylinder and from an electrically connected to the reflection light barrier
- Signal processing circuit which evaluates the identifier located on the cup and detected by the reflex light barrier and the catch element for
- Cup release controls The sensor then not only serves to identify the cup orientation in the guide cylinder, but also to check whether the cup is at the same time has the correct identifier with regard to the return of the deposit.
- the catch member in its state holding the cup in the guide cylinder forms a stop for the cup rim to prevent the cup from falling through the guide cylinder.
- the catch member is an adjustable in the direction of its axis by a controllable drive member pin extending in a plane passing through the axis of the guide cylinder diameter plane and in its the
- Cup in the state holding the guide cylinder is adjusted into the interior of the guide cylinder, in the state releasing the cup being pulled out of the interior.
- Light barrier arranged in the interior of the stacking shaft detection area, the output signals of the light barrier detecting the structure of the stack of cups are used to eject the stack of cups formed in the
- the evaluation itself is preferably carried out in a lateral direction from the stacking shaft, that is to say transversely to the shaft axis, because other emptying processes can easily result in obstructions and even malfunctions due to adhesions and incrustations that result from remnants of the contents of the cup.
- a particularly preferred embodiment for such a lateral ejection of the cup stack is characterized in that the stacking shaft is formed by guiding elements which run in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, are arranged on the circumference of the shaft cross section and include the cups between them, and are adjustable relative to one another from their arrangement including the cups so that they move the stacking shaft to the side over at least half of the shaft circumference Open the stack of cups.
- one of the guide members is designed as a shell which is curved over at most half of the shaft circumference and which is pivotably mounted about an axis running outside the shaft cross-section in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, so that the shell, relative to the cutting and through it Swivel axis and plane passing through the axis of the stacking shaft, with the shell part lying on one side of this level outwards out of the shaft cross-section and with the shell part lying on the other side of the plane swiveling into the shaft cross-section, with the shell part swiveling in laterally ejects from the stack chute, which is simultaneously opened by the swiveling shell part.
- the pivot axis of the bowl is expediently close to the peripheral surface of the stacking shaft, which offers the advantage of short pivoting paths for the bowl when the stack of cups is ejected.
- the other guide elements forming the stacking shaft in addition to the shell are diametrically opposed guide rods. Otherwise, the arrangement is best made so that the shell by the force of a spring in the position enclosing the cup is held and a pull magnet is provided as a swivel drive, the tie rod being connected to the shell at its shell part pivoting out of the shaft cross-section.
- the pull magnet is controlled by the light barrier already mentioned at the top of the stacking shaft.
- the stacking shaft has a shaft bottom provided with at least one drain opening and that a collecting trough is provided in the cup collecting space under the stacking shaft for leaked cup contents. Leftover contents from the beakers can then run through the drain opening in the shaft floor into the drip pan.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of a cup return machine
- FIG. 3 shows the view of the cup return machine according to FIGS. 1 and 2 in the direction of the arrow X entered in FIG. 2 with the front door removed
- Fig. 6 is a view of the stacking shaft of the
- FIG. 7 shows the top view of the stacking shaft according to VII-VII in FIG. 6, namely in the closed state of the stacking shaft
- FIG. 8 shows the subject of FIG. 7 with a partially broken wall in the partially open state of the stacking shaft
- Fig. 9 shows the subject of Fig. 8 in the state of fully opening the stacking shaft.
- the cup return machine 2 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a cup insertion space 1, which can be closed to the outside by a sliding door 3. For an inserted and based on its identifier 4 (see FIG. 5) from
- Cup return machines 2 as correctly recognized and accepted cups 5 are returned a deposit; the deposit is contained in a money return device 11 indicated in FIG. 3 and can be removed from the return opening 6 (cf. FIG. 1).
- a guide cylinder 8 At the bottom 7 of the cup insertion space 1 there is a guide cylinder 8 receiving the cup 5, which is open at the top to the cup insertion space 1 and at the bottom.
- a stacking shaft 9 is provided below the guide cylinder 8, in which the cup 5, which from the
- Guide cylinder 8 fall down through a guide ring 12 into the receiving opening 13 of the stacking shaft 9, are stacked into beaker bars 5 '*.
- the cup rod 5 ' 1 which can comprise about 40 cups, is laterally ejected from the stacking shaft 9 into a collecting space 10 in which, for example, a garbage bag 14 or the like can be stretched to accommodate the cup rods 5' *.
- Guide cylinder 8 is part of a transfer device which only receives each cup 5 picked up from the cup insertion space 1 in the cup orientation which enables cup stacking, with the cup opening 5 facing downward, into the receiving opening 13 of the
- Stack shaft 9 can reach. Up is the guide cylinder 8 to a in the bottom 7 of the
- Cup insertion space 1 provided through opening 15 for the cup 5 connected. It opens downwards via the intermediate guide ring 12 into the receiving opening 13 of the stacking shaft 9.
- the guide cylinder 8 is provided with a catch element 16, which can be adjusted between two states in a controllable manner, namely between a state holding the cup 5 in the guide cylinder 8 according to FIG 5 and one the mug to fall through in the
- the catch member 16 forms a stop for the rim of the cup to prevent the cup 5 from falling through the guide cylinder 8. Furthermore, the guide cylinder 8 is provided with a sensor, generally designated 17, which is used to query the identifier 4 provided on the cup wall. The catch member 16 and the sensor 17 are arranged so that the Füh he 17 can detect the identifier 4 only when the cup 5 is held by the catch member 16 in the upside down orientation required for stacking. If the cup 5 has this correct orientation, the corresponding query result from the sensor 17 is used To adjust catch member 16 in the state releasing the cup 5.
- the catch member 16 is arranged in the guide cylinder 8 at such a height that a cup 5 held by the catch member 16 protrudes somewhat upwards from the guide cylinder 8 into the cup insertion space 1, at least to the extent that it is still by hand on the above part detected, removed from the guide cylinder 8 upwards, rotated and then used in the correct orientation in the guide cylinder 8 if that
- Query result of the sensor 17 signals the wrong orientation of the cup 5 in the guide cylinder 8 and therefore the cup is not released to fall into the stacking shaft 9.
- the senor 17 is a reflex light barrier 18, which is arranged outside the guide cylinder 8 on a window 19 provided in the cylinder jacket. The detection area of the reflex light barrier 18 is directed through this window 19 into the interior of the guide cylinder 8.
- a signal processing circuit not shown in the drawing, connected to the reflex light barrier 18 evaluates the identifier 4 of the cup detected by the reflex light barrier 18 and controls the catch element 16 for the purpose of releasing the cup in accordance with the result of the evaluation.
- the catch member 16 is a pin which is adjustable in the direction of its axis by a controllable drive element, in the exemplary embodiment a pull magnet 20, which runs in a diameter plane 22 going through the axis 21 of the guide cylinder 8 and in its state holding the cup 5 in the guide cylinder 8 in the state shown in FIG inner space of the guide cylinder 8 adjusted in the cup 5 releasing state is pulled out of the interior. 4 and 5 in the direction of the cylinder axis 21 between the catch member 16 and the reflex light barrier 18, a further in the longitudinal direction by its own pull magnet 20 'adjustable pin 23 can be seen, which serves the cup 5 for the purpose of reading the To tilt the identifier 4 in the manner shown in FIG. 5 against the window 19 around the cup wall bearing the identifier 4
- Reflecting light barrier 18 as close as possible, so that a secure identification detection is guaranteed.
- the reflective light barrier 18 can be provided with a protective screen 24, which is shown in FIG. 4 in its state covering the reflective light barrier 18 and can be adjusted for the purpose of identifying the identification by a further pull magnet 25 to release the reflected light barrier 18. Otherwise, it is possible to adjust the reflex light barrier 18 in the axial direction of the guide cylinder 8 along a holder 26 in order to adjust the mutual association between the catching member 16 and the reflex light barrier 18 and thus to be able to adapt to different arrangements of the identifier 4 on the cup wall.
- the stacking shaft 9 is located between an upper floor 28 and a lower floor 29, the receiving opening 13 being located in the upper floor 28 and the lower floor 29 simultaneously forming the floor 30 of the stacking shaft 9, in which a drain opening 31 is provided, through the remaining contents in the beakers 5 and can run off into a collecting trough 32 provided on the bottom of the beaker collecting container 10.
- the upper floor 28 is shown partially broken away in FIGS. 8 and 9 in order to be able to better illustrate the processes taking place when the stack of cups is ejected.
- the stacking shaft 9 is formed by guide elements 33, 34 which run in the longitudinal direction of the shaft between the two floors 28, 29 and are arranged on the circumference of the shaft cross section and which enclose the cups 5 between them when the stacking shaft 9 is closed.
- These guide members 33, 34 are, however, mutually adjustable from this arrangement including the cups 5 so that they open and release the stacking shaft 9 over at least half of the shaft circumference for the lateral ejection of the cup rod 5 1 .
- one of the guide members is designed as a shell 34 which is bent over half the shaft circumference. This shell 34 is pivotally mounted about an axis 35 extending outside the shaft cross section in the longitudinal direction of the shaft.
- the shell 34 With respect to the plane 36, which intersects the shell 34 and passes through the pivot axis 35 and through the axis 37 of the stacking shaft 9, the shell 34 therefore pivots with the one on the one side, in FIGS. 7 to 9 shell part 34 'lying to the left of this level outwards from the shaft cross-section and into the shaft cross-section with the other shell part 34''lying to the right of plane 36 in FIGS. 7 to 9, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.
- the shell part 34 pivoting into the shaft cross section ejects the cup rod 5 11 laterally in the direction of arrow 38 from the stacking shaft 9 which is simultaneously opened by the shell part 3 pivoting out.
- the pivot axis 35 of the shell 34 lies close to the circumferential surface of the stacking shaft 9, so that there are short pivot paths for the shell 34.
- the stacking shaft 9 is closed, in Fig. 8 approximately half, in Fig. 9 fully opened.
- the other guide members are the shell 34 diametrically opposed guide rods 33. Both these guide rods 33 as well as the shell 34 and its pivot axis 35 are slightly inclined against the axis 37 of the stacking shaft 9, so that the cross section of the stacking shaft 9 tapers slightly from top to bottom , as can be clearly seen in FIG. 6.
- the shell 34 is held in the position enclosing the cup 5 by the force of a tension spring 39 suspended on the shell part 34 ′′.
- a pull magnet 40 serves as the swivel drive, the tie rod 41 of which is connected to the shell 34 via a clip 42 in connection with the shell 34 on the shell part 34 * which swings out of the shaft cross section.
- the closed position of the shell 34 is monitored by a limit switch 41 which actuates one of the shell 34 in its closed position
- Sensor 42 carries.
- the sensor is actuated by the part 34 '• of the shell which swings into the shaft cross-section and to which the tension spring 39 is also suspended.
- the shell part 34 ′′ bears against the stop pin 43 arranged on an upper base 28 under the force of the tension spring 39.
