Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a dispenser for dispensing a sheet of paper through a bottom outlet gap (2) from a stock. A sensor (3) activates, upon detection of a person, an electric drive which delivers a portion of paper from the outlet gap (2) so that the sheet of paper can be torn off by hand. When the delivered sheet of paper is torn off, a switch (4) is actuated. Actuation of said switch puts the dispenser in an operational readiness for delivery of another portion of paper (P).

Description

Verfahren zur blattweisen Abgabe von Papier von einem Vorrat  Method for sheet-by-sheet dispensing of paper from a supply
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur blattweisen Abgabe von Papier aus einem in Betriebsbereitschaft versetzten Spender, sowie einen Spender zur Abgabe eines Blattes Papier von einer Rolle, wobei der Spender einen unterseitigen Austrittsspalt, einen elektrischen Antrieb und einen Sensor aufweist, der bei Wahrnehmung einer Person den elektrischen Antrieb veranlasst, eine Länge des Papiers aus dem Austrittsspalt zu fördern, sodass das Papierblatt händisch abgerissen werden kann. The invention relates to a method for sheet-by-sheet dispensing of paper from a standby dispenser, as well as a dispenser for dispensing a sheet of paper from a roll, wherein the dispenser has a lower-side outlet gap, an electric drive and a sensor, which in the perception of a person electric drive causes to promote a length of the paper from the exit slit, so that the paper sheet can be demolished manually.
Papierspender mit berührungsloser automatischer Papierausgabe, sobald eine Person in die richtige Distanz zum Sensor kommt, haben den Nachteil, dass die nächste Papierlänge auch dann gefördert wird, wenn das vorherige Blatt (noch) nicht abgerissen worden ist und eine Person nur zufällig in den Erfassungsbereich des Sensors kommt. Dies bedeutet, dass das Papier verschmutzen kann, bevor es verwendet worden ist, und erhöht den Verbrauch. Paper dispensers with non-contact automatic paper dispensing, as soon as a person comes in the correct distance to the sensor, have the disadvantage that the next paper length is promoted even if the previous sheet has not (yet) been demolished and a person only by chance in the detection range of Sensors are coming. This means that the paper can become dirty before it has been used and increases its consumption.
Die Erfindung hat es sich nun zur Aufgabe gestellt, hierfür eine Lösung zu finden und schlägt vor, dass nach der Förderung der Papierlänge die Betriebsbereitschaft so lange unterbrochen wird, bis das bereit gestellte Papierblatt entfernt worden ist, so dass jede folgende Länge des Papiers nur nach Entnahme des zuvor geförderten Papierblattes gefördert wird. Auf diese Weise lässt sich der Antrieb so lange nicht aktivieren, solange das heraushängende Blatt nicht entfernt worden ist. Ein hiefür geeigneter Spender sieht erfindungsgemäß einen durch den Abriss des Papierblattes betätigten Schalter vor, dessen Betätigung den Spender für die Förderung einer weiteren Länge des Papiers in Betriebsbereitschaft versetzt. The invention has now set itself the task of finding a solution to this and proposes that after the promotion of the paper length the operational readiness is interrupted until the paper sheet provided has been removed, so that each subsequent length of the paper only after Removal of the previously funded paper sheet is promoted. In this way, the drive can not be activated as long as the hanging sheet has not been removed. A dispenser suitable for this purpose provides, according to the invention, a switch actuated by the demolition of the paper sheet, the actuation of which sets the dispenser ready for operation for conveying a further length of the paper.
Um das herausragende Blatt Papier händisch abzureißen, ergreift die Person dessen freies Ende und zieht daran mit einer Kraft, deren Größe im Wesentlichen unabhängig davon ist, ob der Spender eine Rolle mit einer Abrissperforationen aufweisenden Papierbahn oder mit einer Papierbahn enthält, die erst durch eine Messervorrichtung bis auf zumindest einen schmalen Steg durchgeschnitten wird. In jedem Fall muss das lose heraushängende Blatt zumindest leicht gespannt werden, und die Spannung im Papier wird erkannt und für die Wiederherstellung der Betriebsbereitschaft verwendet. Der hier vorgesehene Schalter kann beliebiger Art sein, er ist bevorzugt mechanisch und im Bereich einer Ausgabewalze des Spenders an einer Stelle im Papierweg nahe dem Austrittsspalt aus dem Gehäuse vorgesehen, an der die Papierlänge frei ausgeschoben wird. Der Schalter ist dabei so abgestimmt, dass das Gewicht der herunterhängenden Papierlänge allein noch nicht ausreicht, um ihn zu betätigen. To manually tear off the protruding sheet of paper, the person grasps the free end thereof and pulls on it with a force whose size is substantially independent of whether the dispenser contains a roll with a paper web having tear-off perforations or with a paper web first through a knife device is cut through to at least one narrow web. In any case, the loose-hanging sheet must be at least slightly tensioned, and the tension in the paper is recognized and used to restore readiness for operation. The switch provided here may be of any type, it is preferably provided mechanically and in the region of an output roller of the dispenser at a location in the paper path near the exit slit from the housing, at which the paper length is freely ejected. The switch is adjusted so that the weight of the hanging paper length alone is not enough to operate it.
Bevorzugt umfasst der Schalter einen nahezu ausbalancierten zweiarmigen Hebel, dessen Ende im letzten Umfangabschnitt der Ausgabewalze, bevor die Papierlänge frei nach unten hängt, über den Umfang der Ausgabewalze vorsteht, sodass die unbelastete Papierlänge vom Umfang der Walze abgehoben wird. Sobald nun an der nach unten hängenden Papierlänge händisch gezogen wird, wird der Hebel verschwenkt, sodass sein vorstehendes Ende in die Umfangsfläche der Ausgabewalze versenkt wird. Die Bewegung seines anderen Endes wird, insbesondere berührungslos, auf einen Bauteil übertragen, über den dann die Betriebsbereitschaft wieder aktiviert wird. Preferably, the switch comprises a nearly balanced two-armed lever whose end protrudes beyond the circumference of the discharge roller in the last peripheral portion of the discharge roller before the paper length hangs down freely, so that the unloaded paper length is lifted off the circumference of the roller. As soon as the length of paper hanging down is manually pulled, the lever is pivoted so that its projecting end is sunk into the peripheral surface of the discharge roller. The movement of its other end is transmitted, in particular contactless, to a component, via which the operational readiness is then reactivated.
Der Schalter kann, wie erwähnt, beliebiger Art sein und die durch ihn ausgelöste Wirkung besteht ausschließlich in einer Wiederherstellung der Betriebsbereitschaft, die mit Stillstand des Antriebsmotors unterbrochen worden ist. The switch can, as mentioned, be of any kind and the effect triggered by it consists solely in a restoration of operational readiness, which has been interrupted with the drive motor stopped.
Beispielsweise wäre es denkbar, dass vom Antriebsmotor am Ende seiner Förderphase ein Unterbrecher für die Stromversorgung des gesamten Spenders oder nur des Motors betätigt wird, und der Schalter an der Ausgabewalze diese wieder einschaltet. For example, it would be conceivable that the drive motor at the end of its delivery phase, a breaker for the power supply of the entire donor or only the motor is actuated, and the switch on the discharge roller, this turns on again.
Die Unterbrechung der Betriebsbereitschaft kann in einer anderen Ausführung auch darin bestehen, dass der Sensor für die Wahrnehmung einer Person durch die Wahrnehmung desaktiviert, und vom Schalter an der Ausgabewalze wieder aktiviert wird. The interruption of the operational readiness can also be in another embodiment in that the sensor for the perception of a person deactivated by the perception, and is activated by the switch on the discharge roller again.
Wenn für den Falle eines Papierstaus oder einer sonstigen Störung der Spender mit einem Notbetätigungshebel versehen ist, der den motorischen Antrieb überbrückt und zumindest eine Papierlänge fördert, so ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass auch der Schalter mittels des Notbedienungshebels betätigbar ist, um nach Behebung der Störung den Spender in Betriebsbereitschaft zu haben. Nachstehend wird nun die Erfindung anhand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher beschrieben, ohne darauf beschränkt zu sein. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 eine schematische Schrägansicht eines Papierspenders, If, in the event of a paper jam or other malfunction, the dispenser is provided with an emergency lever that bridges the motor drive and promotes at least one paper length, it is preferably provided that the switch can also be actuated by means of the emergency operating lever in order to rectify the malfunction To have dispensers ready for use. The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawing, without being limited thereto. 1 shows a schematic oblique view of a paper dispenser,
Fig. 2 und 3 Details der Ausgabeeinheit des Papierspenders am Ende der  Fig. 2 and 3 Details of the output unit of the paper dispenser at the end of
Papierförderung und beim Abriss eines Blattes, und  Paper extraction and the demolition of a sheet, and
Fig. 4 die Ausgabeeinheit im Falle einer Notbetätigung. Ein Papierspender gemäß Fig. 1 , beispielsweise für Papierhandtücher od. dgl. weist ein durch eine offenbare Abdeckung verschließbares Gehäuse 1 auf, an dessen Unterseite ein Ausgabespalt 2 vorgesehen ist, durch den Papier P aus dem Spender abgegeben wird. Der Papierspender arbeitet berührungslos, da ein nur schematisch angedeuteter Sensor 3 insbesondere im Nahbereich des Ausgabespaltes 2 angeordnet ist, und der bei Wahrnehmung einer Person in seiner Umgebung über eine entsprechende elektronische Steuerung einen elektrischen Motor dazu veranlasst, eine Länge des Papiers P aus dem Austrittsspalt 2 zu fördern. Der Motor wird am Ende des Förderweges wieder stillgesetzt. Das Papier P wird von einer im Gehäuse 1 eingesetzten Rolle abgezogen, und ist entweder mit Querperforationen versehen oder durchläuft eine Schneideeinrichtung, beispielsweise eine in den Fig. 2 bis 4 vereinfacht gezeigte Messerwalze 6, von der der größte Teil der Papierbreite geschnitten wird. Es verbleibt zumindest ein ungeschnittener Bereich, sodass das Blatt noch an der Papierbahn hängt, wenn eine Länge gefördert worden ist (Fig. 1 und 2); dies stellt somit ebenfalls eine Art von Querperforation dar, die aber erst im Spender hergestellt wird. Fig. 4, the output unit in the event of an emergency operation. A paper dispenser according to FIG. 1, for example for paper towels or the like, has a housing 1 which can be closed by an openable cover, on the underside of which an output gap 2 is provided, through which paper P is dispensed from the dispenser. The paper dispenser operates without contact, since a sensor 3, which is indicated only schematically, is arranged in the vicinity of the dispensing gap 2 and, when a person in his environment is perceived via an appropriate electronic control, causes an electric motor to move a length of the paper P out of the exit slit 2 to promote. The motor is stopped again at the end of the conveyor. The paper P is withdrawn from a roll inserted in the housing 1, and is either provided with transverse perforations or passes through a cutting device, for example a knife roller 6 shown in simplified form in FIGS. 2 to 4, from which most of the paper width is cut. There remains at least one uncut area so that the sheet still hangs on the paper web when a length has been conveyed (Figures 1 and 2); This is therefore also a kind of cross perforation, but only in the donor is made.
Im letzten Abschnitt des Papierweges vor dem Ausgabespalt läuft die Papierbahn über eine angetriebene Ausgabewalze 7, wobei sie in der Förderrichtung nach dem Durchtrittsspalt 16 zwischen den Walzen 6, 7 geschoben wird und frei nach unten fällt, und in diesem letzten Abschnitt daher spannungsfrei ist. In the last section of the paper path in front of the dispensing nip, the paper web runs over a driven discharge roller 7, being pushed in the conveying direction to the passage gap 16 between the rollers 6, 7 and falling freely down, and is therefore tension-free in this last section.
Es lässt sich nicht vermeiden, dass eine Person in den Erfassungsbereich des Sensors 3 gerät und dadurch eine Länge Papier gefördert wird, die nicht entfernt wird. Dies kann bei einem ungünstigen Montageort auch mehrmals hintereinander vorkommen, sodass ein oder mehrere Blätter Papier aus dem Spender hängen und vergeudet werden. Um diesen unbeabsichtigten Verbrauch einzudämmen, ist der Spender so gesteuert, dass am Ende des Förderweges, also zu Abschluss eines Papierabgabezyklusses, auch die Betriebsbereitschaft beendet wird, d.h. so lange die Länge des Papiers P gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 aus dem Spender hängt, ist keine weitere Förderung möglich. Im letzten spannungsfreien Abschnitt des Papierweges ist ein Schalter 4 vorgesehen, der sich insbesondere in die Oberfläche der Ausgabewalze 7 versenken lässt. Fig. 2 zeigt, dass die Papierbahn spannungsfrei über den Schalter 4 läuft und dabei vom Umfang der Ausgabewalze 7 abgehoben ist. Um die Betriebsbereitschaft wieder herzustellen, ist der Abriss eines Blattes erforderlich, indem gemäß Fig. 3 am Ende der herunter hängenden Länge händisch gezogen wird. Dabei wird das Papier P beim Abriss gespannt, und der Schalter 4, der als zweiarmiger Hebel 11 ausgebildet ist, verschwenkt um eine Achse 5, wobei sich sein erstes Ende 12 in die Ausgabewalze 7 versenkt. Das zweite Ende 13 trägt einen Permanentmagneten 14, der berührungslos mit einem Reedschalter 15 im Gehäuse zusammenwirkt. Der Hebel 11 ist nahezu ausbalanciert, sodass schon geringe Zugkräfte für seine Verschwenkung genügen und damit über den Reedschalter 15 eine unterbrochene Stromversorgung wieder herstellen oder in anderer Weise in die in Ruhe versetzte Steuerung eingreifen und sie aktivieren. Der Spender ist also erst nach Betätigen des Schalters 4 für den folgenden Abgabezyklus bereit. It can not be avoided that a person gets into the detection range of the sensor 3 and thereby a length of paper is conveyed, which is not removed. This can occur several times in a row at an unfavorable place of installation, so that one or more sheets of paper from the dispenser hang and wasted become. In order to curb this unintentional consumption, the dispenser is controlled so that at the end of the conveying path, ie the conclusion of a Papierabgabezyklusses, the operational readiness is terminated, ie as long as the length of the paper P as shown in FIG. 1 and 2 hanging from the dispenser is no further promotion possible. In the last tension-free section of the paper path, a switch 4 is provided, which can be sunk in particular in the surface of the discharge roller 7. FIG. 2 shows that the paper web runs without tension over the switch 4 and is lifted off the circumference of the discharge roller 7. In order to restore the operational readiness, the demolition of a sheet is required by pulling manually as shown in FIG. 3 at the end of the hanging down length. In this case, the paper P is tensioned during demolition, and the switch 4, which is designed as a two-armed lever 11, pivoted about an axis 5, wherein its first end 12 sunk into the discharge roller 7. The second end 13 carries a permanent magnet 14, which cooperates contactlessly with a reed switch 15 in the housing. The lever 11 is almost balanced, so that even low tensile forces suffice for its pivoting and thus reestablish a broken power supply via the reed switch 15 or otherwise intervene in the offset control and activate it. The dispenser is thus ready only after pressing the switch 4 for the next delivery cycle.
Kommt es zu einer Störung im elektronischen bzw. elektrischen Teil des Spenders bzw. zu einem Papierstau, so ist der Spender mit einem Notbetätigungshebel 9 versehen, der um die Achse 10 verschwenkt werden kann. Die Schwenkbewegung trennt den motorischen Antrieb über die Ausgabewalze 7 von der Ausgabeeinheit und verdreht die Messerwalze 6 direkt. Dabei kann auch ein Reset des Schalters 4 erfolgen, wenn sein Hebel 11 einen Vorsprung 17 aufweist und die Ausgabewalze 7 bei der Schwenkbewegung des Notbetätigungshebels 9 abgesenkt wird. In diesem Fall trifft ein Teil 8 der Ausgabewalze 7 auf den Vorsprung 17 des Hebels 11 und der Schalter 4 wird ebenfalls betätigt, wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist. If there is a fault in the electronic or electrical part of the dispenser or a paper jam, the dispenser is provided with an emergency operating lever 9, which can be pivoted about the axis 10. The pivoting movement separates the motor drive via the discharge roller 7 of the output unit and rotates the knife roller 6 directly. In this case, a reset of the switch 4 take place when its lever 11 has a projection 17 and the discharge roller 7 is lowered during the pivoting movement of the emergency operating lever 9. In this case, a part 8 of the discharge roller 7 hits the projection 17 of the lever 11, and the switch 4 is also actuated, as shown in FIG.
