Definitions

  • the invention relates to checkouts used in supermarkets and other commercial premises, through which the customer is required to pass to identify and pay for the acquired goods.
  • the traditional checkout was designed to handle both large amounts carried in trolleys and small amounts carried in baskets.
  • the checkout is usually composed of three modules and comprises in succession a first unit formed by a horizontal conveyor belt on which the customer places the acquired goods, an intermediate unit, usually assisted on the inside by an assistant, where the traditional hardware is a scanner, a till, a printer, a keypad for electronic payments and a cash drawer for cash payments, and an end unit with a tray in which the assistant can deposit the scanned products and from which the customer bags the acquired products.
  • the traditional checkout reaches its maximum throughput capacity, since it allows simultaneous placing of goods on the belt and bagging of the goods by the customer.
  • self-checkout In addition to the traditional checkouts noted above, there are now also so-called "self-checkout” systems, where it is the customer himself or herself who identifies and pays for the acquired goods.
  • the most common self-checkouts still consist of three modules but are used to purchase a limited number of items, such as a maximum of twenty-five items, and for this purpose they have a unit for placing the basket in place of the initial conveyor belt and have a bagging unit in place of the tray.
  • the dimensions of the intermediate scanning and payment unit are designed for use by a person on foot, the unit having a touch screen for the interface with the customer and automatic devices for cash and electronic payments.
  • the bagging unit may optionally be equipped with checking scales to check that the bagged item corresponds to the scanned item.
  • the layout of self-checkouts typically requires the installation of these machines in blocks of four units monitored by a roving assistant who keeps an eye on things and gives assistance.
  • the invention provides an easily and quickly convertible checkout that can be set up to be used mostly in the self-checkout mode but which on occasion can easily and quickly be converted into a checkout for use in "assisted" mode at peak times and/or timeslots and/or situations in which it is judged suitable and remunerative to also offer the customer human contact with an assistant.
  • the convertible checkout which imitates a traditional layout, should not have connections to the installed units and could, especially at small points of sale, have remote monitoring by an operator who intervenes if necessary and with assisted tills or other devices (video cameras, automatic exit gates) for theft deterrence.
  • the invention provides for said intermediate scanning unit to be used by an assistant (assisted use mode), or, on the same side as that used by the assistant, directly by the customer (self-checkout use mode), neutralizing in the latter case the architectural volume occupied by the end tray where the goods are collected, by displacing this unit by rotation or pivoting and/or by a translational movement, in such a way as to create downstream of said intermediate unit enough free space to allow the customer to comfortably bag his or her acquired goods previously identified by the scanner.
  • assistant assisted use mode
  • self-checkout use mode neutralizing in the latter case the architectural volume occupied by the end tray where the goods are collected
  • the customer places the products on the initial conveyor belt, reads the barcode of each product at the intermediate unit, where a dedicated software interface will be available for use of the checkout in self-checkout mode, for payment and other purposes, and bags said products in the end space which is now not taken up by the tray.
  • references B1, B2 and B3 are three identical checkouts of the present type, arranged side by side and parallel with each other to form the exit barrier from the point of sale, through which customers must pass in order to pay for their acquired goods.
  • Each checkout comprises an initial conveyor belt T, which is horizontal and usually motorized, on which the customer places the acquired goods; an intermediate unit C with scanner, till, printer, an automatic device for cash payments, a keypad for electronic payments and a touch screen interface for use in both assisted and self-checkout modes; and an end tray V which in the present example is of the wide type, with an intermediate dividing pivoting bar P for dividing the tray into two parts, although it can be of any suitable type.
  • the drive to the conveyor belt T is usually stopped by a photoelectric cell positioned in a known manner upstream of the intermediate unit C.
  • the checkouts B1 and B3 are shown in the assisted use mode, with an assistant CS sitting at the intermediate unit C with his or her cash drawer in the dedicated space of this unit C.
  • the assistant occupies a space bounded on the left by part of the tray V, in front by the unit C, and on the right by a unit M which may stand on wheels or runners or which may be connected laterally to the frame of the conveyor belt, with the option of being swung out of the way and in front of which a pre-checkout display E may be located, as shown next to the checkout B3.
  • the unit M may be absent, leaving the space required for the assistant's effects in retractable drawers in the forward leg of the supporting frame.
  • the intermediate checkout B2 unlike checkouts B1 and B3, is shown in the self-checkout use mode, to which it has been converted by the following rapid sequence of operations:
  • Figures 3 and 4 show that in one possible embodiment the end tray V is housed in a frame 1 with handholds 2 on the longitudinal sides and which has, in the middle of the transverse sides, mutually aligned integral brackets 3, which may for example be of a C-shaped profile, whose ends outside of the frame 1 are pivoted at 4 to triangular gusset plates 5 attached by their base to the innermost 206 of three telescopic tracks 6, 106, 206, the outermost track of which is attached to the top 107 of a base frame 7 which stands on the floor via a bottom 207 and has at least one cross member 307 interconnecting the two symmetrical parts of the frame.
  • the frame 7 is designed for connection to the adjacent parts of the frame of the checkout in any suitable way.
  • FIGS 2 and 2a illustrate a variant of the checkout according to the invention, in which the end comprises the V' tray where the goods are collected in the assisted-use mode.
  • This tray is not wide as in the previous version.
  • a shelf R which forms with the tray a single body connected to the part upstream of the checkout frame, the part with the central unit C, with interposed track and slider means that allow this end unit V'-R to perform a defined horizontal movement of transverse translation such that, when the checkouts are in the assisted position, as at B1 and B3, said tray V' is aligned with the central unit C, whereas when the checkout is in the self-checkout use mode, as illustrated by the intermediate checkout B2, it is the shelf R which is aligned with the central unit C, and the tray V' is in the displaced position and not in use.
  • the shelf R may advantageously include a weighing unit which monitors the weight of the purchases so as to check whether the weight does or does not correspond to the weight of the products whose barcodes the customer has read on the scanner
  • reference 11 denotes an end part of the frame of the intermediate unit C, which comprises the vertical wall 111 with an intermediate transverse bracket 12, and a bottom transverse bracket 112, both of U profile, the outward flange of each supporting corresponding track and slider assemblies 13, 113.
  • Said wall 111 has an integral horizontal bottom extension 211 which stands on the floor via feet (not shown) and which has on the outermost edge another track and slider assembly 213 parallel to the aforementioned assemblies 13, 113.
  • the moving part of these track and slider assemblies is connected to the frame 14, which is shaped like two steps, the top step of which carries the horizontal frame 15 for the tray V' and the bottom step of which carries the aforementioned shelf R. Wheels (not illustrated) may be provided at the opposite ends of the moving frame 14 in order to rest on the floor and support that end of this frame which will sometimes project from the fixed supporting walls 111, 211.
  • converting the checkout does not require conversions and other interventions on the intermediate unit C containing the electronic parts, thus greatly simplifying its construction and its cost and improving the functional reliability of the entire checkout.
