Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for selectively dispensing a selected one of a plurality of packages. More particularly, the apparatus of the present invention utilizes a constant negative air pressure picker for picking up packages of frozen food having heterogeneous shapes and sizes from a thermally isolated storage compartment.
  • Such machines generally suffer from numerous disadvantages.
  • One disadvantage lies in the fact that any machine having such an arrangement will commonly experience numerous mechanical failures due to such factors as age, exposure, poor maintenance, poor assembly, misalignment, etc.
  • the tendency to malfunction can be greatly increased when the mechanical parts must operate in a frozen environment such as that created in a frozen food or ice cream vending machine.
  • each motor, switch and/or solenoid can be expensive and therefore can contribute to increasing the overall cost of a machine, i.e., either in capital or assembly costs. Elimination of any such mechanical parts will usually result in a lowered cost of production and future maintenance and repair.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,025,950 to Trouteaud et al. discloses an apparatus for storing and dispensing ice cream packaged in uniform containers which are stored in rotatable transporters or revolving racks.
  • this apparatus does not solve the above-mentioned problems. Firstly, each rotatable transporter requires its own motor drive. Secondly, this arrangement has a very limited capacity. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, all of the mechanics of the disclosed apparatus are exposed to the cold environment.
  • German Application No. 2,455,673 discloses a machine for vending frozen food packages which utilizes a motorized sliding carriage to position a suction device over the package to be dispensed. The entire suction device is then lowered by a motorized drum and cable system until contact is made between the suction device and the package. The suction device is then activated and withdrawn to a dispensing position along with the package.
  • this device still suffers from the disadvantage that the entire mechanism is still subject to the cold environment of the freezer, thereby inviting increased mechanical failures as well as having the inefficiency of expending a good deal of energy cooling large volumes of non-storage space.
  • the vending apparatus which relates generally to a vending apparatus for selectively dispensing one of a plurality of packages. More particularly, the vending apparatus of the present invention is especially well-suited for dispensing frozen and refrigerated foods such as ice cream, for example.
  • the vending apparatus comprises an outer cabinet having storing means for storing the plurality of packages disposed therein.
  • the storing means is provided with a displaceable thermal barrier and refrigeration means for refrigerating the interior of the storing means to a selected temperature.
  • the thermal barrier is displaceable by opening means provided for opening the thermal barrier.
  • the apparatus is provided with package removing means for selectively removing the selected package from the storing means.
  • the removing means are located outside the storing means between operating cycles and enter the storing means only for the purpose of removing one of the packages during the dispensing operation.
  • the dispensing operation is governed by controlling means for automatically controlling the package removing means and opening means in response to a customer's selection, as well as maintaining an inventory map and sensing operating conditions.
  • the removing means includes a picker for contacting the package to be removed, x-y positioning means for positioning said picker over the package, and z positioning means for selectively raising and lowering the picker above the package.
  • the lifting is accomplished by constant air blower means for creating a constant negative air pressure which is connected to the picker by an air hose.
  • the air blower means and z positioning means are controlled by the controlling means which sequentially actuates them in response to signals sent by sensing means on the picker for sensing contact between the picker and the package.
  • the package is then lifted up and deposited into a dispensing area, by which time the thermal barrier has been replaced, thereby conserving the cold environment of the storage area and protecting the apparatus' cold-susceptible moving and electromechanical parts.
  • FIGS. 1-3 there is shown a vending machine 2 having an outer housing 3 with a main door 4 .
  • a customer retrieval door 5 is disposed in a lower part of door 4 while the upper part is dominated by a viewing glass 6 .
  • Inset near viewing glass 6 there is a currency receiver 7 and labelled selection switches 8 .
  • Freezer compartment 12 has an open top which is covered by sliding panels 14 , positioned in sliding door tracks 15 , which provides a thermal barrier for maintaining a cooled environment between 0° and -20°F in freezer compartment 12 .
  • the cooled environment is provided by refrigeration system 16 located in a bottom portion of machine cabinet 10 .
  • An x-y beam 18 is suspended above sliding panels 14 and outside freezer compartment 12 between y rails 20 which are attached opposite one another near the top of cabinet sides 22 .
  • Beam 18 has ball-bearing rollers 22 which rest on y rails 20 at either end thereof.
  • the side to side movement of x-y carriage 28 is accomplished by X motor 30 which is suspended in a stationary position on the underside of x-y beam 18 .
  • X-y carriage 28 and X motor 30 may be connected in a variety of ways such as by an endless chain which engages toothed sprockets (not shown) provided on both x-y carriage 28 and X motor 30. Movement of x-y beam 18 is similarly accomplished by providing Y motor 32 for driving Y axle 34 . Y axle 34 has one gear 35 at each end thereof, enmeshed with toothed rack 37 . The positions of x-y carriage 28 and x-y beam 18 are determined by X position sensor 36 and Y position sensor 38 , respectively, which feed distance measurements to an automatic control system 40 located adjacent to freezer compartment 12 which governs and coordinates all the operations of the present invention. The preceding arrangement for positioning the x-y carriage 28 over the correct dispensable product may be referred to collectively as the x-y positioning means.
  • a blower motor 42 is housed between machine cabinet 10 and freezer compartment 12 .
  • Blower motor 42 has connected thereto a flexible air hose 44 , which air hose 44 is connected at its other end to x-y carriage 28 which comprises an air conduit 46 .
  • X-y carriage 28 has a picker guide tube 48 extending down therefrom which houses a longitudinally-compressible hose 50 , which preferably self-retracts to a normally compressed position.
  • Picker guide tube 48 has mounted on an outer surface thereof a z -origin sensor 51 for a purpose which will be more fully discussed hereinbelow.
  • Hose 50 connects at its upper end with air conduit 46 and has a picker head 52 at its lower terminus.
  • Picker head 52 comprises a counterweight against sudden closed-end vacuum pressure and has a generally cylindrical upper portion 53 with a frustum-shaped lower end 55 for a reason which will be disclosed hereinbelow.
  • a Z motor 54 mounted to x-y carriage 28 is attached to a Z reel 56 which has wrapped thereon two Z cables 58. Cables 58 are wound around Z reel 56 which is rotated by Z motor 54 , and then pass over centering Z pulleys 60 which align cables 58 so they are equidistant from one another and parallel with the longitudinal axis of guide tube 48 .
  • Cables 58 are attached to the top of picker head 52 and may be provided with a cable slack removal system utilizing a counterweight or a spring attached to a slidable pulley. Rather than employing two cables external to the air hose 50 , a single cable could be employed, running coaxially within the air hose 50 .
  • picker head 52 has a central bore 62 therethrough.
  • Bore 62 tapers from a wide diameter interior conical guide 63 near the top of picker head 52 to a diameter slightly greater than that of hose 50 .
  • Hose 50 is secured to the inside of bore 62 by any of a number of suitable means including clamping, friction, screw threads or glue.
  • a package sensor ring 64 In the terminal end of picker head 52 and circumscribing the mouth of bore 62 , there is installed a package sensor ring 64. Attached to the outer portion of sensor ring 64 there is a flexible circular rubber gasket 66 which provides for greater conformance to package contours during the operation of the present invention.
  • the sensor ring 64 can be substantially rigid.
  • the sensor ring 64 could be made from a flexible air hose in order to perform a shock-absorbing function during a product removal operation, thereby promoting the integrity of an air seal formed between a product and the rubber gasket 66 even when the product is jostled or jolted by, for instance, sudden motion or inadvertent contact with adjacent objects.
  • the sensing function normally performed by the sensor ring 64 could be performed by a movable plunger switch located coaxially within the bore 62 of the picker head 52 and extending below the rubber gasket 66.
  • x-y carriage 28 is securely fixed to sliding panel cables 68 which are closed-loop cables. Cables 68 pass around a series of sliding door pulleys 70 and are securely fixed to sliding panels 14. Cables 68 are arranged together with pulleys 70 so that sliding panels 14 slide from a closed position back and up tracks 15 when x-y carriage 28 is moved towards the rear of cabinet 10. When x-y carriage 28 is moved back towards a starting position near the front of cabinet 10 , sliding panels 14 is similarly moved back into a closed position.
  • Cartridge 72 has generally rectangular walls 73 and a floor 75 with one open end into which frozen food packages 74 are placed.
  • packages 74 of different sizes can be held centered in a standard size cartridge 72 by using package positioners 76 , which may be locked into place or removably inserted into receiving means (not shown) in cartridge 72 .
  • the use of cartridges 72 for holding packages 74 provides numerous advantages such as enabling easy preloading at a central location in an assembly line fashion, quicker restocking, and proper positioning of packages 74 having many shapes and sizes in the same basic outer unit.
  • FIGS. 11-14 there are shown alternate embodiments for covering the open top of freezer compartment 12 .
  • One embodiment seen in FIG. 11 has a multi-part cover 78 constructed with numerous panel members 80 which slide over or under adjacent members 80 .
  • the cover 82 of FIG. 12 is constructed of a plurality of hinged members 84 so that the members 84 fold up against one another.
  • the cover 86 of FIG. 13 is a single unit which is connected by at least one hinge 88 to freezer compartment 12 .
  • the cover 86 opens in a vertically arcing motion, which can be initiated by a separate motor only or by a separate motor acting to partially open the cover 86 and then by a mechanical linkage (not shown) depending from the x-y beam 18 and movable conjointly therewith.
  • the cover 90 of FIG. 14 is a single flexible member which slides in track 15 .
  • Automatic control system 40 locates the correct stack of packages and activates X motor 30 to move x-y carriage 28 left or right to a position in line with the stack.
  • X motor 30 is turned off and Y motor 32 which moves the entire x-y beam 18 carrying the x-y carriage 28 frontward or rearward is activated.
  • Sliding panels 14 which is attached by cables 68 to x-y carriage 28 , opens up in proportion to the rearward travel of x-y beam 18 . At the end of the completed operating cycle sliding panels 14 will close in tandem with the frontward motion of x-y beam 18.
  • the upper end 53 of picker head 52 has a uniform cross-section for a determined length sufficient to prevent tipping of picker head 52 to one side because of contact with cartridge walls 73 as it is lowered down.
  • package sensor ring 64 is activated and Z motor 54 is turned off.
  • Blower motor 42 is turned on, sucking the package up against rubber gasket 66.
  • Z motor 54 is then reversed, thereby winding up Z cables 58 on Z reel 56 and raising picker head 52 along with the package out of freezer compartment 12.
  • Picker head 52 is pulled up around guide tube 48 aided by the tapered interior conical guide 63 until Z origin sensor 51 is activated and Z motor 54 is turned off.
  • Y motor 32 is then activated in reverse until x-y beam 18 is returned to its origin position and sliding panels 14 are simultaneously closed. Y motor 32 and blower motor 42 are deactivated thereby releasing the package, which drops down behind customer retrieval door 5 . X motor 30 is reversed until x-y carriage 28 is returned to its origin position, thereby completing a full operating cycle.
  • automatic control system 40 which monitors the descent of picker head 52 from signals received from descent measuring means (not shown), excludes the empty cartridge from the inventory, recalls picker head 52 by reversing Z motor 54 , relocating picker head 52 above another cartridge 72 , and continuing the procedure as detailed above.
  • the contents of the inventory, from which a package location is determined, is stored in automatic control system 40 .
  • the data concerning which cartridges 72 correlate with which selection switches 8 is programmed by an operator during a weekly load up, for example. After the load up is completed, or after any machine shut down, the automatic control system 40 sends picker head 52 down into each and every cartridge 72 to determine, by signals sent or not sent by sensor ring 64 , if it has any contents.
  • blower motor 42 could be mounted on X-Y carriage 28 , as shown in FIG. 15 . All such modifications and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
