Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a basket lifting system. More specifically, the present invention provides a basket lifting system that makes it possible to place shopping baskets, used in shopping centres and supermarkets, at the height of the conveyer belts found at checkouts. The aim behind this is to eliminate the need to continuously bend down in order to take items out of the basket and put them onto the checkout conveyer belt.
- Lately, one may observe how deeper shopping baskets with greater capacity are being manufactured, as they have incorporated wheels in order to enable effortless shopping. However, the drawback of such baskets is that when people reach the checkout, they have to empty these large, deep baskets. The task of emptying them involves either making physical effort or bending down.
- In today's society, all kinds of different systems have been created to spare people physical effort. Baskets with wheels facilitate effortless shopping, since it is not necessary to overexert the back by carrying them whilst shopping in shopping centres. However, up until now, there have been no systems on the market that make it possible to empty the contents of shopping baskets easily and effortlessly, without overexertion or having to continuously bend down until it is completely empty, upon arriving at the checkout counter in order to pay for the items acquired.
- Conventional baskets (without wheels) have gradually disappeared and have been replaced on the market by baskets with wheels, which are becoming increasingly large and deep. These baskets pose a significant drawback when it comes to putting items onto the conveyer belts at checkouts, especially when one considers elderly people, pregnant women or people with some type of disability.
- The present invention aims to create a basket lifting system that makes this task easier.
- The present invention relates to a basket lifting system. In particular, the present invention provides a basket lifting system for shopping baskets usually used in shopping centres, which comprises:
- a basket carrier, for example in the form of a tray, platform or arms, on which a basket is placed,
- a lifting device for moving the basket carrier vertically, comprising:
- a drive device,
- a basket carrier securing device, to which the basket carrier is coupled,
- an electrical power box, from which the power feed cable comes out and which comprises lifting control means,
- a protective cover, which covers the entire drive device, and
- a control panel, to actuate the basket carrier vertically or make it stop, which is connected to the electrical power box by a cable;
- Said lifting control means manage the movements of the drive device and, in addition to or in place of a programmable logic control, may also comprise a programmable electronic card or electrical relay circuit.
- The protective cover may be located below the empty space in checkout counters for the conveyer belt. Alternatively, if there is not such an empty space or even no conveyer belt, the protective cover may be located in front of the checkout (POS). The protective cover may comprise a metal profile structure, secured to the floor and/or to the checkout counter, in order to prevent it from moving or tipping over. The protective cover may be made of stainless steel.
- The drive device may comprise an electro-mechanical system, composed of an electric motor driving a spindle and screw or rack and pinion assembly, and even a pneumatic or hydraulic system driving lifting cylinders.
- If the basket carrier is of the platform or tray type, it may have a bevelled edge over which the basket with wheels can move up onto the basket carrier. If the basket carrier is of the arm type, the design of the baskets may enable coupling to said arms. In a more complex embodiment, the basket carrier may comprise robotic arms.
- The control panel may comprise a button control panel, which may have three options (up, down and stop), it being possible for said control panel to be located in an area that customers and/or the checker can access easily. It may even be automatically actuated, without human intervention.
- The basket lifting system according to the invention may comprise safety systems, for example of the protective barrier type, located between the basket carrier and customer walkways, in order to reduce the access of system users to the moving parts. Further safety systems might be incorporated upon customers' request.
- The system proposed may be a separate unit or the unit may be built into the checkout counter, being included and hidden directly in said piece of furniture.
- In addition, the system proposed may be complemented with closure means, which comprise at least one flexible, elastic, foldable and/or crushable element, arranged between the floor and the basket carrier itself, in such a way that it obstructs access to the space along which the basket carrier moves.
- The present invention helps to prevent overexertion of the back when lifting the weight of the basket to place it at the start of the checkout counter in order to empty it, or when one must bend down in order to empty it out. In other words, the invention makes it easier to empty these baskets, preventing the back from performing unnecessary effort and overexertion.

Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view of the basket lifting system ofFigure 1 , coupled to a checkout counter. -
Figure 5 is a schematic perspective view of another embodiment of a basket lifting system according to the invention. - With reference to
Figures 1 to 4 , an embodiment of a basket lifting system according to the invention is presented, which is coupled to acheckout counter 1d. - The system comprises:
- a
basket carrier 1a in the form of a platform, on which a basket is placed, - a lifting device 1b for moving the
platform 1a vertically, comprising:- a drive device 3a-e,
- a basket carrier securing device, to which the
platform 1a is coupled, - an
electrical power box 3f, from which the power feed cable comes out and which comprises lifting control means,
- a
protective cover 1c, which covers the entire drive device 3a-e, - a
control panel 1e to actuate theplatform 1a vertically or make it stop, which is connected to theelectrical power box 3f by a cable, and - a safety system, in the form of a
transparent plate 1f, which in this case is made from methacrylate. - The drive device is formed by a guided carriage 3d, a reduction motor 3a with orthogonal axes, and the corresponding spindle 3c and nut 3b thereof. The spindle 3c has upper and lower track ends 3e, which control the trajectory of the nut and check whether or not a basket is present on the
platform 1a, so that, if there is no basket, the nut 3b travels or stays in the lower position (at floor level). Everything is to be driven by the reduction motor 3a located in the lower part of the system. - Said lifting control means manage the movements of the drive device 3a-e by sending signals to the reduction motor 3a from presence detectors, which detect when the basket is in position on the platform and the vertical position at which the platform is located or should be stopped. Said lifting control means may be embodied in the form of a programmable logic controller, programmable electronic card or electrical relay circuit. In the embodiment described in detail herein, said control means include an electronic CDS-3310 card, made by the company GALIL.
- The
platform 1a comprises: afirst part 2a, which is substantially horizontal, through which saidplatform 1a is screwed to the base plate of the guided carriage 3d by means of a basket carrier securing device in the form of a screw and platform base plate; and asecond part 2b, which is hinged to a free edge of saidfirst part 2a. Thesecond part 2b is therefore free to pivot with respect to thefirst part 2a over an angle, seen from below, which extends from a first inclination of between 90 and 180 degrees, predetermined by means of an angular stop and a second inclination of between 180 and 360 degrees. In the lowest position of theplatform 1a, thefirst part 2a is therefore separated from the ground and thesecond part 2b falls until it comes into contact with the floor, thus creating an access ramp to thefirst part 2a. At the start of an operation of the system of the invention, saidsecond part 2b is preferably placed at an inclination of between 90 and 180 degrees, either resting against said angular stop or resting on the floor. This arrangement furthermore reduces the risk of theplatform 1a crushing a nearby person's foot (or a similar object) when it is lowered, since thefirst part 2a will always stop, as already indicated, at a certain distance from the floor, and thesecond part 2b can pivot upwards upon coming into contact with a person's foot. - Two cables come out of the
electrical power box 3f, one of which is for connecting to the electrical power supply and the other of which is connected to acontrol box 1e for actuating the system, with three buttons (up, down and stop), which is located wherever the customer so wishes. - The entire system is supported by a metal profile structure 3g, which is secured to the floor and to the
checkout counter 1d. The metal profile structure 3g is covered withstainless steel sheets 3h. The metal profile structure 3g and thestainless steel sheets 3h form theprotective cover 1c. - Lastly, the
transparent plate 1f comprises a flat vertical empty support space, for supporting sheet-like elements, possibly paper or card elements. In this embodiment, this empty support space is created between two transparent sheets, specifically made of methacrylate, which form saidtransparent plate 1f. At least one of said transparent sheets can be detachable, mainly to facilitate the insertion of the element to be supported and to carry out cleaning tasks. In addition, thetransparent plate 1f comprises lighting. - Turning to
figure 5 , another embodiment of a basket lifting system according to the invention is presented. This embodiment is similar to the first one in so far as it comprises abasket carrier 1a', aprotective cover 1c' that covers the entire drive device and the electrical power box, acontrol panel 1e' and a safety system. - In this case, the safety system is in the form of a
frame 1h', which may enclose a mesh, a grating, a plate or similar, in order to provide increased safety. In this embodiment, theframe 1h' encloses a double-sheet metal-methacrylate plate 1f', thereby creating an intermediate space that can support sheet-like elements, potentially paper or card elements. Theframe 1h' in this embodiment may be detachable, precisely in order to place said paper or card elements, in addition to other purposes such as cleaning and maintenance. In this embodiment, the safety system includes aframe 1h' at each side of the system of the invention, yet it is clear that this may be limited to just one side, as in the first embodiment (just as the first embodiment could include atransparent plate 1f at both sides). - In addition, the system of this embodiment comprises a
bellows 1g', which extends vertically from theplatform 1a' to the floor, covering the space along which theplatform 1a' moves, thereby obstructing access to the same mainly for safety reasons. - Naturally, if the principle of the present invention is maintained, the embodiments and construction details thereof may vary widely with respect to those described and illustrated herein purely by way of non-limiting example, without however exceeding the scope of the present invention, as defined in the accompanying claims.
