Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a selling device according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a method of operating such a selling device and a product for sale with such a selling device.
  • the shows EP 0 547 020 a vending machine for refrigerated goods.
  • the refrigerated goods are stored in a goods magazine which comprises a plurality of goods plates arranged one above the other.
  • the goods plates have sector-shaped goods compartments for receiving products.
  • the goods trays can be moved step by step from tray to tray at a removal opening, wherein the removal opening is closed with a removal door. Once the user has deposited the appropriate amount of money, the door is unlocked and the user can remove the goods from the tray.
  • the EP 0 316 053 shows a further sales facility with a drum-like goods magazine.
  • the goods can be removed by the user after paying through a plurality of doors.
  • a disadvantage of prior art vending machines is the fact that the filling of the goods magazines is very cumbersome and time consuming, since only a small number of subjects can be filled and then the drum has to be moved stepwise.
  • the vending machines are also often suitable for food and especially drinks, but not for consumer durables, such as watches and jewelry.
  • Another disadvantage is the fact that the user must first bring the goods drum to the correct position by means of the actuation of a push-button before he can initiate the payment process and remove a desired product from the machine. As a result, the amount of time that must be spent for the purchase of products in a state-of-the-art machine is rather high.
  • the management of the goods in a vending machine is time-consuming and error-prone. For example, it is possible that a person filling the machine does not recognize which products have been in the machine for quite some time. For this reason, the limited range is not used efficiently.
  • the invention can be based on the object to create a sales device of the type mentioned, which is particularly suitable for the sale of consumer goods such as watches and jewelry and electronic devices and can be designed comparatively space-saving.
  • Selling device shown has a cabinet 2, which is formed substantially rectangular, but may also have a different shape.
  • the cabinet 2 has a front side 6, to which at least one display 24 for presenting the available products, input means 8, a removal compartment 7, means for paying the required amount of money and a slot 27 for issuing a receipt.
  • the display 24 is arranged substantially at average eye level and the input means 8 approximately at waist height.
  • the removal compartment 7 is located in a lower area below the input means 8 and is provided with a rearwardly hinged here not closer designated flap.
  • the input means 8 have a known "touch screen” with which a desired article can be selected and determined by touching the corresponding positions. However, information can also be displayed here, for example information about the existence of the existing products, as well as information about the operation of the sales device 1.
  • a speech device (not shown in greater detail) is provided which feeds the user, for example via a Not shown here speaker information is acoustically available.
  • the means 9 for paying have, for example, a slot into which a credit card is inserted. With this credit card, the required amount of money can be debited. The corresponding acknowledgment is then output at the slot 27. Paying by credit card is just one example. There are also other means of payment conceivable here.
  • the display 24 is, for example, a flat screen on which the existing products are displayed graphically and with textual information.
  • the display 24 is covered with a non-descript inscribed glass here, so that the display is protected vandalism.
  • FIG. 2 Inside the cabinet 2 are according to FIG. 2 the storage device 3 and the handling device 5 are arranged.
  • the access to the interior of the cabinet 2 is made possible by two doors 23, such as swing doors. Of these, one is Viewed from the viewer left and the other right. These doors 23 extend substantially over the entire height of the cabinet 2 and are located immediately behind the front side 6. These doors 23 are of course lockable.
  • the storage device 3 has a cylindrical drum 10 which is preferably circular-cylindrical and which is rotatable about a vertical axis 12 in both directions.
  • the drum 10 is driven by a motor, not shown here. This is controlled by a control device, not shown here.
  • the drum 10 has at its periphery a plurality of vertically extending channels 15, in each of which a plurality of compartments 11 are arranged one above the other, as in particular FIG. 5 shown. These compartments 11 each have two opposite bow-shaped supports 16, which can be removed for example by loosening screws.
  • Each compartment 11 can accommodate a product 4. In a channel 15 thus the products 4 according to the Figures 3 and 4 be arranged in rows 13.
  • a plurality of such rows 13 are arranged, which extend substantially over the entire height of the drum 10 substantially.
  • the products 4, which form these rows 13 are formed as rectangular boxes, in which the corresponding articles are housed. These items include watches, jewelry, cell phones, and the like. Of these products 4 or boxes are provided with different heights. According to FIG. 5 For example, in addition to a product 4 with a minimum height another product 4 'provided with double height. Also conceivable is another product not shown here with a triple basic height.
  • a marking 20 for example a bar code.
  • other electronic identifications for example, are also possible.
  • the labels 20 contain the necessary information, such as information about the item, the price and the Date of Manufacture. But here are other information possible.
  • the handling device 5 is according to FIG. 2 between the drum 10 and the front 6 is arranged. It is also located between the two doors 23, to which they each have the same distance.
  • the handling device 5 has according to FIG. 8 a guide device 17, a drive 31 and a vertically movable carriage 18.
  • the guide device 17 has two parallel and spaced apart extending columns 32, which are fixedly connected to each other at the bottom and top. At these columns 32 of the carriage 18 is guided vertically movable.
  • the carriage 18 is driven by the drive 31 with a drive member.
  • the drive member is for example a toothed belt which extends in the columns 32 and is connected to the carriage 18.
  • the drive 31 here has for example a motor 14, which is controlled by a control device, not shown here.
  • the carriage 18 can be vertically moved so that it can be positioned in front of each product 4 of a row 13.
  • the carriage 18 can thus be moved substantially over the entire height of the drum 10 upwards and downwards.
  • each of the rows 13 can be positioned so that the corresponding row 13 is located immediately in front of the handling device 5.
  • the products 4 are then each between the two columns 32nd
  • the carriage 18 is according to FIG. 6 guided by rollers 28 on the columns 32. These roles. 28 are mounted on a frame 30 which is located between the two columns 32. In the frame 30, a slider 22 is mounted horizontally limited displaceable. The slider 22 has a front opening 21, through which in each case a product 4 or 4 'can be accommodated. If a specific product 4 or 4 'of the drum 10 is to be removed with the carriage 18, the carriage 18 is moved to the corresponding product. This is done by a controlled rotation of the drum 10 and by the process of the carriage 18 in the vertical direction. If the carriage 18 is positioned in front of the desired product 4 or 4 ', the slide 22 is retracted into the corresponding channel 15 and the product 4 or 4' is charged onto the slide 22. This now moves back to a basic position and then the carriage 18 moves to the height of the removal compartment 7 and there gives the product 4 or 4 'by a vertical movement of the slider 22 from.
  • a vertically extending brush 25 is arranged, which in a rotation of the drum 10 respectively on the products 4 and 4 'along strips. Should one of the products 4 or 4 'move radially outward during a rotation of the drum 10, then this is again arranged by the brush 25 and accurately positioned.
  • a brush 25 another suitable positioning device, for example an air jet, may also be provided.
  • the brush 25 extends substantially over the entire height of the drum 10, so that each product 4 or 4 'of a row 13 are arranged simultaneously.
  • a means 19 is also arranged, which has a reading device with which the markings 20 can be read.
  • the means 19 send, for example, a beam 29, for example an infrared beam, which is directed against the corresponding marking 20.
  • a beam 29 for example an infrared beam
  • the means 19 can thus read all the products 4 or 4 'present.
  • the means 19 also make it possible to recognize an unoccupied compartment 11. By turning the drum 10 and moving the carriage 18, an inventory process is possible in which all the articles 4 and 4 'can be inventoried. With this process, the unoccupied compartments 11 can be detected.
  • Such an inventory process is preferably performed after each inventory change.
  • the process preferably takes place after at least one of the two doors 23 has been closed.
  • the closing of the doors 23 is displayed, for example via sensors not shown here and communicated to the controller via a signal.
  • This ensures that complete information about existing inventory is available.
  • This information can be made available via a network not shown here, for example via the Internet.
  • a person supervising the sales facility can then inform himself at any time about non-existing articles and can then refill the drum 10. It is also essential that only articles which are actually available in the drum 10 are displayed on the display 24. The user of the vending machine 1 can thus only require articles or products 4 or 4 ', which are actually present.
