Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ausgabestation für Transportwagen wie sie insbesondere auf Flughäfen Einsatz findet mit den Merkmalen im Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to an output station for transport vehicles as they are used in particular at airports with the features in the preamble of the main claim.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Transportwagen bekannt. Ein Transportwagen dieser Gattung ist in der EP 1 590 224 B1 offenbart. Ein weiterer Wagen ist in der EP 1 537 000 B1 beschrieben, dieser weist unterhalb der Radgabeln aus Kunststoff gebildete Profile, so genannte Mittel, auf. Diese dienen zum Abstützen auf einer Rolltreppe. Jeder Wagen ist für das Einbringen in eine Ausgabestation jeweils mit einem Adapter versehen.From the prior art trolleys are known. A dolly of this genus is in the EP 1 590 224 B1 disclosed. Another car is in the EP 1 537 000 B1 described, this has below the wheel forks made of plastic profiles, so-called means on. These serve for support on an escalator. Each cart is provided for insertion into a dispensing station each with an adapter.

Eine Ausgabestation für solche oder ähnliche Transportwagen ist beispielsweise in der internationalen Patentanmeldung WO 2004/049272 A1 beschrieben. In dieser werden Transportwagen hintereinander und ineinander gestapelt angeordnet. Eine solche Ausgabestation - auch Magazin genannt - weist wenigstens eine Führungsschiene auf und ist mit mindestens einer Durchfahrtssperre, sowie mit einer Kassiereinrichtung versehen. Die Durchfahrtssperre, vorzugsweise in Form einer Klinke ausgeführt, ist mit der Kassiereinrichtung elektrisch geschaltet. Hierbei ist die Anordnung der Durchfahrtssperre in der Führungsschiene vorgesehen. Jeder Transportwagen ist mit einem so genannten Adapter ausgestattet, der seitlich an einer Radgabel, vorzugsweise an einem der hinteren Räder angeordnet ist. Dieser Adapter ermöglicht das Herausnehmen eines Wagens aus bzw. das Einfahren in die Ausgabestation bei entriegelter Durchfahrtssperre und verhindert es bei verriegelter Durchfahrtssperre. Ferner erfolgt mittels des Adapters eine Prüfung, ob eine Pfandrückgabe bei der Kassiereinrichtung zu erfolgen hat.An output station for such or similar transport vehicles is for example in the international patent application WO 2004/049272 A1 described. In this trolley are arranged one behind the other and stacked. Such an output station - also called magazine - has at least one guide rail and is provided with at least one passage barrier, and with a cashier. The passage barrier, preferably designed in the form of a pawl, is electrically connected to the cash register. Here, the arrangement of the passage barrier is provided in the guide rail. Each trolley is equipped with a so-called adapter, which is arranged laterally on a wheel fork, preferably on one of the rear wheels. This adapter allows the removal of a car from or the retraction into the output station with unlocked passage barrier and prevents it with locked passage barrier. Furthermore, by means of the adapter, a check is made as to whether a return of the deposit has to be made at the cash register facility.

Die Durchfahrtssperre ist z.B. entriegelt, nachdem der Bezahlvorgang an der Kassiereinrichtung erfolgte. Ein Wagen kann dann entnommen werden.The passage barrier is e.g. unlocked after the payment was made at the cashier. A cart can then be removed.

Nun besteht das Problem, dass bei unterbrochener Stromversorgung, d.h. wenn die Ausgabestation nicht mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden kann, wie beispielsweise bei Wartungs- oder Abrechnungsarbeiten, bei Stromausfall oder im Servicebetrieb, die Durchfahrtssperre entriegelt ist. Das führt dazu, dass Wagen entnommen werden können, ohne dass eine Gebühr für diese entrichtet wird. Wagen könnten später bei normaler Stromversorgung wieder eingeschoben werden und eine entsprechende Gebühr könnte ungerechtfertigterweise an der Kassiereinrichtung entnommen werden.Now there is the problem that when power is interrupted, i. if the dispensing station can not be supplied with electrical energy, such as during maintenance or billing work, in the event of a power failure or in service, the drive-through barrier is unlocked. As a result, wagons can be removed without paying a fee for them. Carts could later be reinserted with normal power supply and a corresponding charge could be unjustifiably taken at the cashier.

Ferner besteht die Möglichkeit, bei unterbrochener Stromversorgung Wagen in die Station einzuschieben, deren Erfassung jedoch nicht erfolgen kann. Dies hat eine Abweichung bei der Bestandserfassung zur Folge.It is also possible to insert in interrupted power supply cars in the station, the detection of which can not be done. This results in a deviation in the inventory.

Auch die Rückzahlung des entrichteten Pfandes kann bei unterbrochener Stromversorgung nicht erfolgen.Also, the repayment of the paid deposit can not be made when the power supply is interrupted.

Darüber hinaus kann es im Normalbetrieb, d.h. bei Stromversorgung, vorkommen, dass ein Adapter von einem solchen Wagen abmontiert oder abgetrennt wird, und mittels dieses Adapters die Ausgabestation manipuliert wird und unrechtmäßig Geld aus der Kassiereinrichtung entnommen wird.In addition, it may happen in normal operation, ie power supply, that an adapter is removed or separated from such a car, and by means of this adapter, the output station is manipulated and unlawfully money is removed from the cashier.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun darin, eine Ausgabestation mit Transportwagen bereitzustellen, bei der die Manipulation der Ausgabestation geringer ist und dies unabhängig davon, ob die Station mit elektrischem Energie versorgt ist oder nicht.The object of the present invention is to provide a delivery station with trolley, in which the manipulation of the dispensing station is lower and this regardless of whether the station is supplied with electrical energy or not.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen im Hauptanspruch.The invention solves the problem with the features in the main claim.

Aufgrund der zusätzlichen Sperrung ist die Durchfahrtssperre auch ohne Stromversorgung verriegelt. Es können weder Wagen entnommen noch Wagen eingeschoben werden. Eine Manipulation ist somit ausgeschlossen.Due to the additional blocking, the drive-through barrier is locked even without a power supply. You can not remove cars or insert carriages. Manipulation is thus excluded.

Mittels der Montage der zusätzlichen Sperrung auf einem Montageblech kann auch eine nachträgliche Ausstattung von Ausgabestationen gewährleistet werden.By mounting the additional lock on a mounting plate, a subsequent equipment of output stations can be ensured.

Aufgrund des Magnetsensors, der im Bereich der Führungsschiene vorgesehen ist und wegen des Magneten am Wagen, kann zusätzlich die Manipulation auch im normalen Betrieb unterbunden werden.Due to the magnetic sensor, which is provided in the region of the guide rail and because of the magnet on the car, in addition, the manipulation can be prevented even in normal operation.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ausgabestation sowie Wagen, die in diese eingeschoben werden. Die Ausgabestation findet Verwendung für hintereinander angeordnete und ineinander gestapelte nicht näher dargestellte Transportwagen. Sie ist mit wenigstens einer Führungsschiene und mit mindestens einer Durchfahrtssperre 13 sowie einer Kassiereinrichtung ausgestattet. Durchfahrtssperre 13 und Kassiereinrichtung sind miteinander elektrisch geschaltet, wobei die Durchfahrtssperre 13 in der Führungsschiene angeordnet ist. Ferner weist jeder Wagen einen Adapter auf, was das Herausnehmen eines Wagens aus bzw. das Einfahren eines Wagens in die Ausgabestation bei entriegelter Durchfahrtssperre 13 ermöglicht und bei verriegelter Durchfahrtssperre 13 verhindert.The invention relates to a dispensing station and car, which are inserted into this. The dispensing station is used for successively arranged and nested transport trolleys not shown in detail. It is equipped with at least one guide rail and with at least one passage barrier 13 and a cash register. Passage barrier 13 and cash register are electrically connected to each other, wherein the passage barrier 13 is arranged in the guide rail. Further, each car has an adapter, which allows the removal of a car from or the retraction of a car in the discharge station with unlocked passage barrier 13 and prevented when the lock-through barrier 13 is locked.

Im normalen Betrieb wird die Station mit elektrischer Energie versorgt. Die Durchfahrtssperre 13, vorzugsweise in Form einer Klinke, die üblicherweise in der Führungsschiene angeordnet ist, ist verriegelt und verhindert ein unberechtigtes Herausnehmen von Wagen.During normal operation, the station is supplied with electrical energy. The passage barrier 13, preferably in the form of a pawl, which is usually arranged in the guide rail is locked and prevents unauthorized removal of cars.

Bei Wartungs- oder Abrechnungsarbeiten, Stromausfall oder im Servicebetrieb, kann die Ausgabestation nicht mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden, so dass die Durchfahrtssperre 13 entriegelt ist. Wagen können ungehindert entnommen und/oder eingeschoben werden.During maintenance or billing work, power failure or service operation, the output station can not be supplied with electrical energy, so that the passage barrier 13 is unlocked. Trolleys can be removed and / or inserted unhindered.

Um, für den Fall, dass die Station nicht mit elektrischer Energie versorgt wird, das Einfahren bzw. Herausnehmen von Wagen zu unterbinden, ist eine zusätzliche Sperrung 1 vorgesehen, die dies mechanisch verhindert. Diese zusätzliche Sperrung 1 ist jeweils in der Führungsschiene angeordnet. Um diese auch nachträglich einzubauen, bietet es sich an, die zusätzliche Sperrung 1 auf einem Montageblech 2 anzuordnen. Die zusätzliche Sperrung 1 ist aus einem Magneten 3, einem Sperrriegel 4 und einem Rückholmechanismus 5 gebildet. Am Magnet 3 ist eine Kolbenstange 6 angeordnet. Es bietet sich der Einsatz eines Hubmagneten an.In order, in the event that the station is not supplied with electrical energy to prevent the retraction or removal of cars, an additional lock 1 is provided, which prevents this mechanically. This additional blocking 1 is arranged in each case in the guide rail. In order to install this also later, it makes sense to arrange the additional blockage 1 on a mounting plate 2. The additional blocking 1 is formed from a magnet 3, a locking bar 4 and a return mechanism 5. On the magnet 3, a piston rod 6 is arranged. It lends itself to the use of a solenoid.

Der Sperrriegel 4 weist eine Stange 7 auf. Die Stange 7 ist drehbar auf dem Montageblech 2 angeordnet. Ein erstes und ein zweites senkrechtes Blechteil 8, 9 sind parallel zur Stange 7 ortsfest an dieser angeordnet. Ferner ist ein weiteres Blechteil 10 vorzugsweise parallel zum Magneten 3 und orthogonal zum ersten senkrechten Bauteil 8 am ersten senkrechten Blechteil 8 angeordnet. Die Blechteile 8, 9 und 10 sind Teile des Sperrriegels 4.The locking bar 4 has a rod 7. The rod 7 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 2. A first and a second vertical sheet metal part 8, 9 are arranged parallel to the rod 7 fixed thereto. Furthermore, a further sheet metal part 10 is preferably arranged parallel to the magnet 3 and orthogonal to the first vertical component 8 on the first vertical sheet metal part 8. The sheet metal parts 8, 9 and 10 are parts of the locking bolt. 4

Der Rückholmechanismus 5 ist z.B. aus einer Feder 12 gebildet, die an einem Winkelblech 11 angeordnet ist. Es bietet sich an, das Winkelblech 11 aus einem Teil des Montageblechs 2 zu bilden. Alternativ zu der Feder 12 wäre auch ein anderes Bauteil wie ein Gummi oder ein Gasdruckelement denkbar.The return mechanism 5 is e.g. formed from a spring 12 which is arranged on an angle plate 11. It is advisable to form the angle plate 11 from a part of the mounting plate 2. As an alternative to the spring 12, another component such as a rubber or a gas pressure element would also be conceivable.

Der Sperrriegel 4 und der Rückholmechanismus 5 sind beweglich miteinander verbunden und wirken über die Stange 7 und die Kolbenstange 6 zusammen. Hierfür ist die Feder 12 mit dem ersten senkrechten Blechteil 8 des Sperrriegels 4 verbunden. Die Kolbenstange 6 kann auf das zweite senkrechte Blechteil 9 des Sperrriegels 4 wirken.The locking bar 4 and the return mechanism 5 are movably connected to each other and act on the rod 7 and the piston rod 6 together. For this purpose, the spring 12 is connected to the first vertical sheet metal part 8 of the locking bolt 4. The piston rod 6 can act on the second vertical sheet metal part 9 of the locking bar 4.

Figur 1 zeigt die zusätzliche Sperrung 1 im Normalbetrieb. Sie ist "bestromt", das bedeutet, dass der Magnet 3 mit elektrischem Strom versorgt ist. Die Kolbenstange 6 ist ausgefahren und wirkt auf das zweite senkrechte Blechteil 9 des Sperrriegels 4, so dass sich dieses geneigt auf ca. "13-Uhr-Stellung" befindet und die Feder 12 entsprechend der wirkenden Kraft gedehnt ist. Das erste senkrechte Blechteil 8 befindet sich ca. auf "14-Uhr-Stellung" FIG. 1 shows the additional lock 1 in normal operation. It is "energized", which means that the magnet 3 is supplied with electric current. The piston rod 6 is extended and acts on the second vertical sheet metal part 9 of the locking bolt 4, so that this is inclined to about "13 o'clock position" and the spring 12 is stretched according to the acting force. The first vertical sheet metal part 8 is located approximately at "14 o'clock position"

Wird die Versorgung mit elektrischer Energie unterbrochen, kann der Magnet 3 nicht mehr versorgt werden. Figur 2 zeigt die zusätzliche Sperrung 1 "stromlos". In den Figuren 4 und 5 ist die zusätzliche Sperrung 1 - eingebaut in die Führung - dargestellt. Die Kolbenstange 6 ist eingefahren und die Feder 12 entspannt. Das erste senkrechte Blechteil 8 des Sperrriegels 4 befindet sich ca. auf "12-Uhr-Stellung", das zweite senkrechte Blechteil 9 des Sperrriegels 4 ca. auf "11-Uhr-Stellung". Die Kraft wirkt nun über das weitere Blechteil 10 auf die Durchfahrtssperre 13, die sich in Richtung Boden bewegt und das Durchfahren von Wagen verhindert. Die Durchfahrtssperre 13 ist verriegelt. Dies ist in Fig. 4 ausschnittsweise dargestellt. Somit können keine Wagen mehr in die Station eingefahren werden oder aus der Station herausgenommen werden. Eine Manipulation der Durchfahrtssperre 13 für den Fall, dass die Ausgabestation nicht mit elektrischer Energie versorgt wird, kann ausgeschlossen werden.If the supply of electrical energy is interrupted, the magnet 3 can no longer be supplied. FIG. 2 shows the additional blocking 1 "de-energized". In the FIGS. 4 and 5 is the additional blocking 1 - built into the guide - shown. The piston rod 6 is retracted and the spring 12 relaxed. The first vertical sheet metal part 8 of the locking bolt 4 is located approximately at "12 o'clock position", the second vertical sheet metal part 9 of the locking bolt 4 approximately at "11 o'clock position". The force now acts on the further sheet metal part 10 on the passage barrier 13, which moves in the direction of the ground and prevents the passage of cars. The passage barrier 13 is locked. This is in Fig. 4 shown in detail. Thus, no more cars can be retracted into the station or removed from the station. A manipulation of the passage barrier 13 in the event that the output station is not supplied with electrical energy can be excluded.

Figur 3 zeigt die Durchfahrtssperre 13 in geöffneter Position. Wagen können in die Station eingeschoben werden. FIG. 3 shows the passage barrier 13 in the open position. Carts can be pushed into the station.

Für den Fall, dass die Ausgabestation sich im Normalbetrieb befindet, ist zu unterbinden, dass die Durchfahrtssperre 13 unter Verwendung des vom Wagen abgetrennten Adapters manipuliert wird. Hierfür bietet es sich an, einen Magnetsensor im Bereich oder direkt an der Führungsschiene vorzusehen. Ferner ist in den bei den Wagen vorhandenen Mitteln, die aus Kunststoff gebildet sind und unterhalb der Radgabeln an den hinteren Rädern eines Wagens vorgesehen sind, ein Magnet zu integrieren.In the event that the output station is in normal operation, it must be prevented that the passage barrier 13 is manipulated using the adapter separated from the car. For this purpose, it is advisable to provide a magnetic sensor in the area or directly on the guide rail. Further, in the existing in the car means that are made of plastic and are provided below the wheel forks on the rear wheels of a car to integrate a magnet.

Zusätzlich zur optischen Erkennung zwischen dem Adapter und einen Sensor in der Führungsschiene, erfolgt nun mittels eines magnetischen Zusatzsensors die Kontrolle, dass stets der Wagen mit Adapter in die Station eingeschoben wird.In addition to the optical detection between the adapter and a sensor in the guide rail, now carried out by means of a magnetic additional sensor, the control that always the car with adapter is inserted into the station.

Vorteilhafterweise ist es für einen Außenstehenden nicht ersichtlich, dass ein solcher zusätzlicher Magnet in der Station und am Wagen verwendet wird.Advantageously, it is not apparent to an outsider that such an additional magnet is used in the station and on the cart.
