Definitions
- the invention relates to a disconnection device. More in particular, it relates to the container identification system to discard whose reliability is increased by the use of a new reading device.
- the device avoids errors associated with uniqueness of reading, and therefore the non-return of instructions for products normally returnable, caused by soiling, soiling or deterioration partial identification marking or reading device.
- the device comprises at least two means of reading the marking at different sites and uses an inclusive "OR" logic function to decide on the return of the deposit. Thanks to this function, the recognition of the marking by only one of the different sites is sufficient to issue a counter value.
- This logging device designed to avoid as much as possible returnable container user is harmed, however has been found not to be able to distinguish the marking of a container identical to that to recognize but affixed illegally on an unrecorded cup.
- Patent application N ° 2,785,702 in the name of the present applicant describes a disconnection device whose container identification is ensured by recognition of one or two markings of a different nature.
- the invention combines graphic marking and its reading process, mentioned in patent N ° 2,744,272, with a marking very difficult to reproduce, not detectable with the naked eye, or else still difficult to detect and reproduce.
- the first marking, graphic or screen printing, of the container is made with an ink, conductive or not, by a process known.
- This first marking can possibly be a decoy to mislay attempted fraud.
- the second marking is not reproducible by the processes copy classics. We particularly choose an invisible marking performed in one or two places with fluorescent material under lighting ultraviolet. The pattern chosen is then more or less complex and depends on the management that we intend to practice with recovered containers, and of the type of operation made of the logging device.
- the device for logging out is of the type described in the French Patent No. 2,744,272. Its recognition device is designed to similar way. However, it presents one or two site (s) additional reading (s) dedicated to the sole recognition of the invisible marking made fluorescent under ultraviolet light.
- This kind of site consists of at least one ultraviolet receptor cell. A container scrolling past this ultraviolet light sends back on the radiation receiving cell whose nature depends on the container meet. In the case of a returnable container, the invisible marking excited by the ultraviolet tube then emits fluorescent radiation corresponding to the marking recognition signal.
- the detection means is consisting of a laser transmitter and a receiver sensitive to radiation at a wavelength different from that of the transmitter, for example the receiver is a diode sensitive to red, blue or green light.
- the laser transmitter is activated by the passage of the container by the first detection site.
- the detection means is a transceiver operating in the ultraviolet.
- the airlock includes a second and third passage detection site downstream of the means of marking detection.
- the distance between the second and the third site is related to the size of the returnable container so as not to trigger the payment only for containers whose size conforms to this value.
- the airlock includes a retractable means for closing it at least partially upstream of the said second and third sites when we try to pass a container in the opposite direction from the downstream of the third site.
- the invention also covers the container with a marking intended to be read by the device on which the marking is carried out with a or several infrared inks in such a way that it constitutes a code.
- Figure 1 schematically shows an apparatus for disconnection of cups.
- Figure 2 shows a flowchart illustrating the operation of the device control.
- FIG. 1 We have reproduced in Figure 1 only part of the apparatus of tagout.
- This device here applied to the deconsignation of cups, is arranged near a beverage dispensing apparatus in which, for example, a machine prepares the drink, fills a cup and present to the consumer.
- the consumer has put money in the distributor to obtain this drink, the amount of which corresponds to the price plus a deposit. He can recover it by inserting the cup into the logging off device.
- the latter after verification, returns the setpoint counter value.
- an airlock forming a tube guide (1) disposed between the chute (G) for introducing the containers, here cups, in the device and a bin in which they are collected.
- the tube is substantially vertical or slightly inclined and has a diameter ensuring the guiding of the cup in an upright position. The latter is not don't get in the way.
- the tube opens directly into the receptacle.
- the tube comprises a controlled flap with the return of the equivalent value. If the container is recognized as being compliant, it is directed towards a grinder otherwise it is directed towards a trash can.
- the cup has a marking called "invisible” that is to say made with an ink that is not visible when it is illuminated with light white.
- it is chosen so as to reflect a radiation to a determined wavelength.
- the marking is infrared, anti-stokes type, i.e. it sends out visible light at a specific wavelength, red, blue or green in particular, when an infrared light is applied to it.
- the device described below is adapted to operate with marking of the latter type. Marking can be set up in such a way that one can determine the nature of the containing by combining for example two or more reflection waves different or by combining several markings at distances determined on the goblet. We understand that we can thus achieve establishing a code.
- the cup In its trajectory, the cup first passes a first barrier of detection (IR1) which includes a permanent source of infrared light and a receiving diode.
- IR1 first barrier of detection
- the diode sends a signal to an organ or housing control, not shown, when the beam is interrupted.
- this first barrier can also react to a second marking said visible and can be a decoy.
- L consisting of a light source (LL) and a diode receptor (LD).
- the diode is placed below the transmitter.
- it is a laser emitting infrared radiation within a specific wavelength.
- the receiving diode is chosen by function of the light reflected by the so-called "invisible" marking of the cup.
- a marking which emits light in the visible spectrum, especially green, when it is lit by the laser.
- the diode only reacts at this wavelength, thus filtering light reflected by the cup at the wavelength of the laser. So we have a way simple and effective to detect the passage of a cup with the marking in accordance with the instructions.
- the diode is also connected to the organ of ordered.
- IR2 Downstream of this device (L), there are two detection barriers (IR2) and (IR3), preferably similar to the first. They are placed one after the other. The distance between the two devices is advantageously exactly that corresponding to the height of the cup, as shown in the figure.
- the receiver diodes of the two detection barriers are connected to the control box.
- a finger controlled (D) by electromagnetic means is likely to be placed across the guide tube and prevent passage of the goblet. It is placed upstream of the detection barrier (IR2). preferably, it is placed upstream of the detection device (L). According to what embodiment of the invention, it remains in the retracted position in normal running.
- the box control consists of an electronic card with a microprocessor which in a simplified embodiment manages, between others, variables Ir1, Ir2 Ir3 corresponding to the three barriers of infrared detection. Their value is set to 1 if the barrier is blocked by an object, otherwise it remains at 0. Similarly, a variable Ld is set to 1 if the diode sends a signal to detect a marking on the cup.
- Figure 2 a flow diagram of the operation of the device. The different stages of a cycle break down in the way next ;
- the device In (10) the device is on standby and continuously performs a reading of the values of the three detection barriers. Values remain at 0 waiting for the object to pass through the airlock.
- Ir1 0, one of the two others, Ir2 or Ir3 is set to 1; it means an attempted fraud because the object does not pass from above but in the opposite direction, a timed alarm is activated if necessary.
- the assembly operates as follows according to the different hypotheses of presentation of the goblet.
- the cup then passes the barriers (IR2) and (IR3) which trigger the payment of the deposit. In its fall, the cup cuts the two infrared barriers spaced so that (IR2) sends a signal detection and (IR3) no, then (IR2) does not send a signal and (IR3) sends a signal.
- the disconnection device recognizes the container as valid because it has the appropriate predetermined markings and a size normal, and the setpoint is restored. The device returns to its cycle waiting for a new deconsignation operation,
- the device (L) does not recognize it. Passing through the barrier does not trigger the payment of the deposit because the control unit has not received a positive signal from the diode (LD).
- the marking is of the type fluorescent, and reacts to black light.
- the device for detecting marking (L ') then consists of a source (LUV) of UV light and the receiver (LD ') is adapted to be sensitive to the reflected wavelength by marking.
- a means of grinding the containers whose deposit has been returned saves space and prevents them from being reintroduced into the device. It suffices to provide a shutter controlled with the device for restoring setpoint. In a position he directs the objects towards the crusher in the other he directs them towards a dustbin.
- the barriers IR2 and IR3 are not activated or are absent.
