  • Patent application FR 2423190 describes a method for obtaining the replacement of an empty recoverable container with a similar container filled with a consumable product, this replacement taking place by through a vending machine containing full containers and maneuverable by the consumer himself, in which one spares the dispenser a freely accessible location intended for receive the empty container at the same time that the one or more is made inaccessible full containers; a container is only made accessible to the consumer full only when, on the one hand, the empty container to be exchanged has been placed in the freely accessible space reserved for this use and that, on the other hand, the price of the product contained in a full container has been paid by the consumer, by introducing a token into the dispenser; in addition, payment of the price is prohibited until the empty container has been placed in the space reserved for this purpose.
  • This document also describes a dispensing device comprising a series of locations for receiving empty containers for swap, a series of locations each containing a full container, means making the locations containing the containers inaccessible full as well as means making the reserved spaces inaccessible to empty receptacles, except one of them, means for detecting the presence of the empty container to be exchanged when it is introduced into the space whose access is free, the detector means controlling access to means of release of one of the locations containing a full container, and means for implementing the means for releasing one of the locations containing a full container.
  • the dispenser is in the form of a cage surrounding two horizontal trays superimposed integral with a tube mounted to pivot according to a vertical axis; each tray is partitioned by rods sparing ten slots for holding empty bottles - for the tray upper - and full bottles - for the lower tray; a system mechanical drive (by the user) in rotation of the plates in a single direction, associated with a magnetic presence detection bar an empty bottle returned, and locking mechanisms are described in this document.
  • An object of the invention is to propose a method and an apparatus self-service distribution of liquefied gas cylinders, which are improved.
  • Patent application EP-A-860 648 describes a device for managing industrial gas cylinders which has an enclosure defining a cell receiving a bottle fitted with a collar including a circuit electronic, as well as a portable reading clip in contact with the necklace;
  • patent application FR-A-2685519 defines a concept consisting to use electromagnetic waves to read recorded data in a label affixed to a bottle, without however describing clearly and completely an embodiment.
  • the invention consists in proposing an apparatus according to claim 1.
  • the means for detection and identification an empty bottle inserted into a cell includes at minus a means of contactless reading of data recorded in a electronic micro-circuit integrated into each bottle, which is associated with each of the access openings.
  • the means identification includes a camera associated with means of recognition of the shape and / or color of the bottles.
  • the invention makes it possible to detect the presence and to identify the characteristics of a bottle introduced by a user into a cell through an access opening, precisely, reliably and very fast.
  • the invention allows, in particular by repeated reading to several repeats as long as a signal representative of the opening of the hatch is transmitted to the UETD by a sensor sensitive to this opening, to avoid fraudulent use of introducing a bottle (for exchange) then to withdraw it; this also makes it possible to verify that the empty bottle enter into the socket by the user corresponds to a predetermined type bottle, in particular corresponds to a bottle intended to contain butane or, on the contrary, a bottle intended to contain propane ; this also makes it possible to verify that the introduced bottle is part of the fleet of bottles of a predetermined distribution company.
  • RF signals which are located at the top or bottom of the access opening
  • RF frequency signals are used preferably located in a range from 1 to 100 megahertz, for example close to 10 to 15 megahertz to both provide the micro circuit integrated into the energy bottle and to receive signals RF identification returned by this micro circuit associated with an antenna also integrated into the bottle.
  • a mechanical guide member is preferably also provided. and bottle positioning which is integral with each cell; this further facilitates automatic and contactless bottle identification by promoting optimal positioning of the bottle under the antenna reading and / or in the field of view of the camera.
  • the invention consists in proposing a distributor comprising at least two respectively closable access openings by a hatch (or shutter or door); the at least two hatches being of preferably arranged superimposed and of identical rectangular shape, and being mounted - preferably articulated - on a common frame making part of a service door, preferably rectangular, for access simultaneous with several of said openings;
  • this particular configuration facilitates filling of the dispenser while making it possible to offer a fixed enclosure (in metal, plastic, concrete) and resistant access doors weather and vandalism, thanks to a simple mechanical structure and rigid;
  • at least part of said service door and / or said hatch is made of a material non-magnetic, in particular in plastic material, in order to limit the electromagnetic (RF reading system) disturbances caused by its opening and closing.
  • the invention consists in filling the dispenser comprising a plurality of cells intended to receive a type of predetermined bottle, leaving one - and only one - empty cell, which can be chosen arbitrarily by the person filling among said plurality of cells; this allows optimal use of the dispenser loading capacity.
  • the invention consists in providing, integrated into the bottle dispenser, dispenser dispenser, means (such as a keyboard) for the introduction of a choice item by the consumer a bottle purchase transaction (without prior deposit of a empty bottle), and a means of actuating the regulator distributor according to said choice data.
  • the distributor 1 comprises, inside an envelope 20, a barrel 22 rotatably mounted along the vertical axis 21; the barrel is driven in rotation by a motor 10 via a pinion 23 with an axis 24 meshing with a chain encircling the base of the barrel; the barrel comprises three superimposed trays 25 which are each surmounted of reinforcements 26 delimiting six cells (of identical shape) 27 for receiving a bottle 28; a template 26a is provided at the bottom of each cell for promote correct positioning of a bottle by cooperating with the body and / or the flange or handle provided in the upper part of the bottle.
  • a door 16 of service carrying three superimposed hatches 16a, 16b, 16c allowing the respective closing of three openings 2a, 2b, 2c provided in door 16, as well as a keyboard 5, a display unit 6 and a payment terminal 8 by bank card which are arranged in a niche 3, and finally a hatch 29 of access to a housing for the delivery of a regulator distributed by a distributor 4 housed in the envelope.
  • the door 16 is pivotally mounted along the axis 31 relative to the envelope 20 and the doors 16a to 16c are pivotally mounted along the axis 32 relative to door 16.
  • an antenna 3 is provided in the upper part of each opening obscured by its hatch respective 16a to 16c, an antenna 3 is provided allowing the supply (by induction) of an integrated circuit to each bottle as well as the reading of identification data contained in signals transmitted by an antenna associated with this circuit integrated into the structure of each bottle; alternatively, a camera 3 allows recognition of the bottle by comparison of its shape and / or color with data corresponding stored in a memory associated with the UETD.
  • This dispenser can be filled with two different types of regulators: three regulators 40a adapted to a first type of cylinder (for example butane) present in distributor 1, and three regulators 40b suitable for a second type of bottle (for example propane) simultaneously present in the dispenser.
  • a first type of cylinder for example butane
  • a second type of bottle for example propane
  • the operation is the following: the customer introduces his bank card, which the distributor blocks; the UETD broadcasts a message ⁇ Welcome ⁇ and offers the choice ⁇ Exchange ⁇ or ⁇ Purchase ⁇ (consignment); after the customer has selected ⁇ Purchase ⁇ , UETD broadcasts the message “Product Purchase” and offers the choice: ⁇ Butane ⁇ or ⁇ Propane ⁇ , which the customer selects using keyboard 5; UETD checks in memory M the presence of a cylinder and a pressure reducer corresponding to the selected product, and if the product is not available, the UETD displays the message ⁇ Product not available ⁇ and ends the procedure.
