Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vending machine according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • the invention relates in a further aspect to a method for dispensing a product in a vending machine according to the preamble of independent claim 10.
  • vending machines are used for dispensing goods in the vicinity of a checkout zone.
  • the DE 38 02 399 C2 shows a vending machine, which has a series of goods shafts, all of which have their own goods issue area.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a vending machine, which is structurally flexible adaptable to its location and at the same time has a large storage volume of goods.
  • the automatic vending machine according to the invention is equipped with a plurality of individual spindle rods. On the respective spindle rods each have a plurality of individual goods stored. These are, for example, razor blade packages that are suspended on a respective Euroslot recess on the respective spindle rod.
  • the vending machine has a fixed goods issue area. This stationary goods issue area is at the same time the only goods issue area that the vending machine has. All goods are issued here.
  • the goods issue area is assigned to the customer. Stationary in this case means that the goods stored in the vending machine are always issued in the same dispensing area, regardless of the area in which the goods are stored in the vending machine. The customer can thereby orient himself better.
  • the vending machine can use space that is suitable for the placement of a further goods issue area, for example according to the DE 38 02 399 C2 would not be suitable.
  • the individual spindle rods can be moved by a suitable drive to the stationary goods issue area.
  • the drive here is preferably a conveyor chain, consisting of individual mutually movably mounted chain links used.
  • the individual spindle rods are preferably each attached to a chain link.
  • the type of drive allows particularly flexible travel paths.
  • the vending machine has in the vicinity of the goods issue area a central stationary spindle drive.
  • the individual spindle rods can be brought into a rotational movement.
  • it is unnecessary to equip each individual spindle rod with its own spindle drive. This saves weight, what a high conveyor chain speed allows. The customer does not have to wait long for the desired product, even if the required spindle rod is still relatively far away from the stationary goods issue area.
  • the individual spindle rods each have a drive disk.
  • the drive pulley extends in the radial direction of the spindle rod and is aligned perpendicular to the spindle rod.
  • the spindle rod can be brought into the desired rotational movement.
  • the peripheral surface of the drive pulley is preferably covered with a rubber material. In the case of a mechanical contact with the drive disk, this results in high coefficients of friction with the body being attacked.
  • the stationary spindle drive has at least one drive roller which can be brought into operative or contact contact with the drive disk of the respective spindle rod.
  • two such drive rollers are provided.
  • the drive roller or the drive rollers are pressed against the drive pulley of the respective spindle rod with a defined force.
  • An electric motor drives at least one drive roller.
  • the second drive roller serves only to stabilize a rotational movement.
  • the drive rollers are placed in a rotational movement, which is transmitted to the drive pulley.
  • the respective spindle rod is set in a rotational movement.
  • a support plate is disposed below each of the spindle rods.
  • the support plate stabilizes the suspension of the goods on the spindle rods and at the same time supports the guidance of the goods on the spindle rod.
  • the vending machine has a camera which is arranged on the stationary goods issue area.
  • the camera can be used to record the individual goods and their position on the spindle rod.
  • the camera can detect, for example, when a goods suspended on the spindle rod goods, was promoted by the rotational movement of the spindle rod, to the end of the spindle rod or falling from the spindle rod.
  • the camera can also detect whether it is the goods requested by the customer.
  • the output of a requested by the customer goods proceeds as follows: First, the spindle rod carrying the desired goods is driven by means of the conveyor chain to a fixed goods issue area. The spindle rod is then brought into rotation by a central spindle drive arranged on the stationary goods delivery area. Due to the rotational movement of the spindle rod, the goods or the goods are conveyed axially forward in the direction of the free end of the spindle rod. There, the customer can then remove, for example, one or more desired goods from the spindle rod.
  • the goods or goods are conveyed axially forward in the direction of the free end of the spindle rod until a product falls off the spindle rod or several goods fall off the spindle rod.
  • the output area can be designed so that the fallen goods or the falling goods of a Catch container to be caught. The customer can then reach only the goods contained therein and has no direct access to the respective spindle rod. This can prevent thefts. The number of falling goods can be limited accordingly.
  • the FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the drive range of a spindle rod 1.
  • the drive area is located directly on the central goods issue area 12 of a vending machine 10.
  • a support plate 2 is arranged below the spindle rod 1.
  • the load of the spindle rod 1 is increased.
  • the goods 3, 3 'suspended on the spindle rod 1 are guided by the support plate 2 when the goods 3 are conveyed axially forward in the direction of the arrow 4.
  • the spindle rod 1 projects beyond the support plate. 2
  • a drive pulley 5 is formed or attached.
  • the drive pulley 5 is made of metal.
  • the peripheral surface of the drive pulley 5 is covered with a rubber ring 6 to increase the coefficient of friction with a friction partner accordingly.
  • the drive roller 5 could also be made of plastic.
  • the surface of this drive roller 5 could be roughened accordingly for friction optimization.
  • the drive rollers 7, 7 'are made of metal.
  • the drive rollers 7, 7' are pressed onto the drive disk 5 of the spindle rod by the force resulting from the magnetic field.
  • the spindle rod 1 is set in a rotational movement. If the magnet 8 is moved in the opposite direction, ie away from the drive rollers 7, 7 ', the drive rollers 7, 7' are pulled away from the drive disk 5 of the spindle rod 1 by the force resulting from the magnetic field. As a result, the drive rollers 7, 7 'and the drive pulley 5 come out of contact contact.
  • the rotational movement of the spindle rod 1 ends. This type of contacting of drive pulley 5 and drive rollers 7, 7 'is particularly wear-resistant, because the pressing force between the two friction partners is only just so high that no slip is formed.
  • the peripheral surface of the drive rollers 7, 7 ' was coated in each case with a rubber ring.
  • the drive rollers 7, 7 ' can via a Electric motor 9 are driven.
  • the rotational movement of the drive rollers 7, 7 ' is transmitted by friction to the drive pulley 5, whereby the spindle rod 1 is set in a rotational movement. Due to the rotational movement of the spindle rod 1, the goods 3, 3 'located thereon-in the direction of the arrow 4-are transported to the free end of the spindle rod 1. This process can continue until a product 3 falls from the spindle rod 1.
  • the falling of the goods 3 can be detected by a camera (not shown).
  • the product 3 then falls into a receptacle accessible to the customer (not shown).
  • FIG. 3 the delivery principle of a vending machine 10 according to the invention can be seen.
  • the goods 3, 3 ', 3 ", ... suspended on a spindle rod are conveyed through the vending machine 10 by means of a conveyor chain 11 along the arrows 12, 12', 12",.
  • the conveyor chain 11 is driven by a gear 13.
  • the conveyor chain 11 can also backwards, so opposite to the direction of the arrow 12, 12 ', 12', ... promoted. This makes it possible to choose the shortest route for the desired products.
  • the goods 3 requested by a customer for example via an operator terminal (not shown), are conveyed to a central, stationary goods issue area 12. Only this issue area 12 must be accessible to the customer in this case.
  • the remaining vending machine can, for example, by attachments to a checkout counter, zuquaint.
  • a vending machine integrated in a cashier counter 10 take advantage of unused space in the counter.
