  • a device of the type mentioned is from WO 90/15559 (Embodiment according to Fig. 11) known.
  • the conveyor belt is built into a table surface.
  • the customer presents his shopping cart for goods entry the front of a goods entry table.
  • the goods entry table has a vertical goods entry window, behind which a scanner is installed and in housed in a housing projecting above the table surface is.
  • Above the goods entry window are two arrow-shaped ones Signal lamps arranged, the left of which too a first conveyor belt that ends in a packing cradle, and the right one points to a second conveyor belt that ends in front of a served registration point.
  • the customer carries the goods to be recorded with the goods identification past the goods inspection window. If properly recorded goods identification lights up to first conveyor belt signal lamp so that the Customer can store the article so captured there. With not The registered goods label lights up for the second one Conveyor belt pointing signal lamp, whereby the customer is asked to put the unrecorded article there. At the same time an acoustic signal sounds, through which the operator's attention to an item not recorded is made.
  • the operator is overwhelmed with their normal activity every time - that is in general cashing customers - to interrupt to watch whether the undetected goods are on the right one Conveyor belt is placed. Either it piles up Checkout errors or no control over what to increased shrinkage due to undetected and thus leads to goods not invoiced.
  • the customer leads his goods one after the other Detection device over and puts them in order their handling on a first conveyor belt. For it is not essential to him whether the goods are labeled has been recorded.
  • a first conveyor belt transports the goods up to one Distribution station they depend on the detection result on a second conveyor belt or a third conveyor belt transferred.
  • the third conveyor belt carries the goods to one Withdrawal point.
  • the goods labeling was not the goods are captured by the second conveyor belt transported to a operated registration point and from an operator detected. After that, she is manually on the third conveyor belt pushed and from this to Removal point transported.
  • the known arrangement therefore requires for every checkout line three conveyor belts to be driven separately.
  • the distribution station also has two roller conveyors, their roles depending on the acquisition result must be driven.
  • This task is characterized by the characteristics of the Claim 1 solved.
  • the customer leads his goods one after the other Detection device over and puts them in order their handling on the first conveyor belt. For him it is not essential whether the goods are recorded has been.
  • the conveyor belt transports the goods to the cross conveyor, which they put on the second conveyor belt transferred.
  • the second conveyor belt carries the goods in one first transport direction to a removal point, preferably a packing cradle.
  • a removal point preferably a packing cradle.
  • the goods labeling If the goods have not been recorded, they will be transported in a second transport direction transported to a operated registration point and by an operator - this is general the cashier - recorded.
  • After the goods are registered there has been be it with the help of a at the operated registration point arranged second scanning device, be it by keyboard input, it is transported to the removal point.
  • the cross conveyor can act as a third conveyor belt be formed on the first conveyor belt connects, and its transport direction with respect to this is offset by 90 °.
  • the scanning devices, all conveyor belts and the The working area of the detection area is on one level, so that the goods are not transported over disruptive edges Need to become.
  • the cross conveyor formed as a deflection rail, which is inclined extends over the first conveyor belt. Transported by this Goods are heading towards the second conveyor belt distracted until they come to rest on this.
  • the scanning beam in the simplest case an over the width of the conveyor belt at a small height above it light beam running from a transmitter to a receiver is.
  • the light barrier can also be used as such Known light fore trained to be not only the the area close to the conveyor belt but the entire area monitored by a customer when dropping goods on the conveyor belt can be reached.
  • the customer leads while the labels are being recorded one product after the other past the scanner and then places it on the first conveyor belt.
  • Each light barrier pulse is controlled in one controller linked to the previous scanning result, so that the one consecutively transported on the first conveyor belt
  • the specific scanning result was assigned in each case is.
  • two devices for self-service Entry of goods labels combined into a goods entry and settlement system.
  • the facilities are mirror images of each other and so arranged next to a work table that the second conveyor belts one of the side edges of both devices of the work table are parallel and adjacent.
  • the Operator sits at the table so that there is one facility each to their right and left.
  • a cash register installed on the Table or in this is in a further development of the invention. So it's an operator possible for the capture of all goods by two customers at the same time to worry about accounting for the respective purchase and collect the invoice amount.
  • a goods entry and billing system for sales transactions shown in top view and generally designated 10. It consists of a work table 20, a left-hand device for self-service Detection of goods labels 50 and a right facility 50 'of the same type. Both devices are 50, 50' built in mirror image to each other, therefore it is only the Device 50 described. Same reference numbers of the device 50 'are provided with the index "".
  • This is opposite Information display unit, a so-called customer display 53, set up.
  • Towards the exit of the sales shop includes the scanner first endless conveyor belt 54.
  • first conveyor belt 54 is a front light barrier 66 arranged so that its scanning beam is the full width of the Conveyor belt sweeps.
  • a rear light barrier 68 sweeps the transfer line from the first conveyor belt 54 to the second 58. Both light barriers are so close above that respective conveyor belt arranged that the lowest too goods article is still detected reliably. they are electrically with a controller, not shown, for the Drive motors of the conveyor belts connected.
  • a cash register 22 is on the work table 20 a keyboard 24 and a cash drawer 26 and for each Device 50, 50 'a cash display 28, 28' arranged.
  • a swivel seat 30 is located between the work table 20 and the operated detection stations 62, 62 '. The operator can easily become the left or right customer turn or use the cash register. She has it with her the correct physiological distance to the respective one Work surface without having to move the chair 30.
  • the customer removes the goods individually his shopping cart or shopping cart and leads them with the goods identification via the scanning device 52, after which he places them on the first conveyor belt 54.
  • the light beam of the front light barrier 66 interrupted.
  • a counting pulse is stored in the control and with the scanning result 'valid' for one successful scanning of the goods labeling or 'invalid' linked for a scan without a valid scan result.
  • the following procedure is followed in the same way. Since the first conveyor belt 54 constantly in the direction of Arrow A is driven, the goods reach the deflection rail 56 and are deflected in the direction of arrow B.
  • the goods interrupt in the order with of which they are detected in the controller, the light beam rear light barrier 68.
  • the second conveyor belt 58 For goods with the license plate 'Valid' runs the second conveyor belt 58 in the direction of Arrow C, the goods are conveyed into the packing trough 60. Goods with the 'invalid' indicator cause a movement of the second conveyor belt 58 in the direction of arrow D, the goods are transported to the operated registration point 62. The operator can now use their second scanner 64 record the product labels or enter manually using the keyboard 24. Checked the control that the number of registered goods with the the 'invalid' mark matches. After all Goods are recorded, the purchase is settled in known manner performed on the cash register 22.
  • the deflection rail 56 ' is so far in Direction to the scanner 52 'parallel to itself even moved that all goods to the served registration place 62 'arrive.
  • the operator guides them over the second scanner 64 'and then places it on the second conveyor belt 58 'in this mode of operation constantly is driven in the direction of arrow C '. The goods thereby get into the packing trough 60 '.
  • the wall is expediently so far in the direction of the scanning device 52 preferred that it is impossible to goods behind the front light barrier 66 onto the first conveyor belt 54 to put.
