  • the measures for increased personal safety also make it possible to use stable drive-intensive and relatively tamper-proof drives or movement elements.
  • an automatic storage machine according to the invention can be executed both in a secure manner and in a particularly secure manner.
  • a high degree of personal security and access security can be implemented almost without compromise, although these are in some cases contradictory properties.
  • An embodiment according to claim 2 is advantageous, since a closing process of the closure device can be prevented or broken off as soon as an obstacle is detected in the danger zone. In particular, injuries to the hands or fingers of a user of the machine can thereby be effectively and reliably avoided, even if this, e.g. due to carelessness, during an ongoing or sudden ein ⁇ guided closing operation of the closure device in the sensorially monitored danger zone arrives.
  • an embodiment according to claim 3 is advantageous since only that area is monitored, from which an immediate danger potential can emanate, whereas all other zones or the surrounding areas can not cause any disturbances in the proper draining processes of the automaton.
  • Another advantage is also an embodiment according to claim 4, since characterized by a software ⁇ technical object detection a very accurate and fail-safe object detection within half the danger area is possible.
  • the embodiment according to claim 5 allows the construction of a cost-effective and still reliable monitoring device for the danger or access area of the storage machine.

  • An embodiment according to claim 9 is also advantageous since it implements a particularly functional, electromechanical means with which the risk of injury, in particular of bruising of the limbs of a careless operator, is reduced to a minimum in a simple manner can be.
  • an embodiment according to claim 10 proves to be advantageous because above all an automated or manually initiated closing operation of the closure device, in particular a slide element, can not lead to a risk to the user or to damage of objects.
  • a body part which may be slightly clamped between the machine housing and the closure device can be used , such as The wrist, or a jammed object can be effortlessly released again without any physical or psychological danger to the person concerned or without damaging the object.
  • the design according to claim 12 can also be used to reduce the risk of injury to a user. Minimize servants after there are no sharp edges or no sharp corners on the potentially hazardous sections of the machine.
  • An embodiment according to claim 13 is also advantageous since, when running on an obstacle, this provides a sufficient contact surface and thus a relatively low surface pressure is ensured.
  • an embodiment according to claim 14 is also advantageous, since there are no shearing edges at which comparatively high risks of injury due to shearing exist.
  • movements of the closure devices in particular in the case of slide movements, reliably prevent body parts, garments or objects from being drawn into the intermediate spaces or gaps.
  • the embodiment according to claim 18 offers the advantage that a user is or is prepared for automatically initiated or to be initiated movements of the machine and is thus made aware of any dangers in an effective manner.
  • a preferred type of machine is given in claim 19. It is advantageous that such an embodiment offers a plurality of functionally reliable automation possibilities and, moreover, a plurality of compartments can be managed or operated without a large number of slide elements being required.

Another advantage is an embodiment according to claim 20, since as an effective protection of the slide elements against the pinching of objects or limbs Shen is achieved upon movement of the slide elements.
  • An advantage of the arrangement of a protective door lies in the fact that the slide elements lying behind can be moved by powerful, preferably self-locking drives, since they can not pose any danger from them due to the pre-arranged protective door.
  • this guard locking or locking mechanism which is integrated in the control sequence, can not lead to unallowable or dangerous states, since the automatic control deactivates the guard locking or interlocking only if safe access is possible or if there is a safe state.
  • the locking or restraint for the respective safety door or the respective safety doors is deactivated when the underlying drawer arrangement, for example in the form of a carousel-like specialist magazine, has come to a standstill or stands still.
  • the measures according to claim 23 further increase the personal safety of the machine after the control device can prevent or avoid an opening movement of the slide elements located behind the protective door when an open safety door is automatically detected.
  • Another advantage is the embodiment according to claim 33, since it is therefore a mandatory requirement for the execution of a potentially dangerous movement of the machine that the safety switching device is deliberately actuated by a user in order to obtain the consent to execute a movement, in particular a closing movement. or ⁇ ff ⁇ movement of the closure device to communicate.
  • the increased personal safety of the machine is ensured by the safety switching device and not by the machine control and their software, which significantly reduces the cost of the controller including software, especially with regard to occasional software modifications and the associated certification effort.
  • the closing device in particular the slide elements
  • the release period is advantageously slightly more than the usual time for closing the closure device. This ensures that the closure device is only closed immediately after conscious release by a user and under his supervision. Due to the design according to claim 35 can be achieved that in the event that after the closing time, the closure device, in particular the slide elements, their end position has not yet reached and thus could not be locked, the free self-locking drives slide elements can be. For a further closing attempt the safety switching device is preferred to press again. This also minimizes a risk to persons since, after leaving an incompletely closed machine, the closing device can not be transferred by a child to the closed and locked position.
  • the advantageous measures according to claim 36 and / or 37 ensure that the closing process must be initiated in a user-conscious manner, so that inadvertent or automatic locking of living beings can be ruled out or landfilling of critical or dangerous objects can only have occurred deliberately can.
  • the person responsible is then also to be located via the log data optionally recorded in the automatic storage machine, after which preferably a user identification is to be carried out prior to the operation of the storage automaton.
  • the measures according to claim 38 achieve a highly secure or particularly fail-safe control of the potentially dangerous drives of the automatic storage machine. Another advantage is that with these measures, if necessary, a complex or expensive security software with corresponding security certificates can be dispensed with, since the error security is substantially increased by the concatenation of the specified control assemblies.
  • Another advantage is an embodiment according to claim 39, characterized in that the occurrence of an obstacle within the Verstellweges the closure device is not continuously urged against the obstacle, but a failed, automated closing attempt is automatically canceled if the closed position is not reached within the predefined period ,
  • the embodiment according to claim 40 offers the advantage that an active locking of a slider element is made possible only within a defined period of time, so that a direct locking of a child, for example due to carefree games of action an unattended machine or due to any test of courage is excluded, since the active locking of the closure device is only possible within a limited Zeit ⁇ span.
  • This period of time is preferably selected such that an authorized operator of the machine is present or at least still in the vicinity if the release time span for an automatic locking possibility of the closure device is still running.
  • the slider elements preferably can not be manually thrown, in particular not locked, outside of the release time.
  • an identification means left behind in the au tomate such as, for example, A PIN-free magnetic card forgotten at the machine, no danger of an unwanted or negligently locked person in the machine, and also no risk of storage of objects by unauthorized persons.
  • the measures according to claim 43 can contribute in an advantageous manner to increase the personal safety of the machine. In particular, this also creates a measure against accidental locking of children within the machine.
  • a possible weighting of a possible weighting of the compartment arrangement can be automatically detected and thus contribute to the protection of mechanical components of the automatic machine or serve for functional protection of the drive or braking devices of the machine.
  • Another advantage is that due to the automated verifiability of compliance with the maximum allowable load capacity and compliance with the technical limits of the machine vending potential hazards to a user in the event of breakage or damage to components of the machine are excluded.
  • the measures according to claim 46 can also be used to automatically check whether the object has actually been removed after a removal procedure initiated by the operator or whether after removal of the intended object another article was deposited in the storage machine in an unauthorized or unauthorized manner. In addition, a possible arrival of a child or an animal can be detected and then an automated closing operation of the closure device can be avoided or aborted.
  • the ease of use of the storage machine can be further increased and also a certain time savings can be achieved in immediately successive storage or retrieval operations.
