Description

Lockers installation.

The invention relates to an installation of lockers, especially for outdoor placement, with several ticket office modules with at least one respective ticket office, especially two lockers and with at least one column section together with them - the so-called section of the module column - that form at least one column when combining several modules of Lockers with other sections of module columns.

Lockers facilities are known, for example in railway stations, where overlays are placed elements of individual heavy lockers. In general, due already at its weight, a special theft-proof anchor is not necessary Such lockers facilities. However, the high weight is a inconvenient due to the costs that go along with it.

Document DE 196 46 631 shows a installation of lockers of this type, in which on each module, on the upper and lower sides are installed elements of contact, which enable an electrical connection between the modules. The electrical connection is necessary for the supervision of the box office.

It is known small ticket office facilities, for example in supermarkets, where a locker closet of large dimensions has a plurality of lockers individual. However, such ticket office facilities have the drawback that they can only be extended by placing adjacent additional full cabinets.

The invention has the task of preparing a installation of lockers, which can be adapted with reduced expense to individual needs, especially the number of box office.

The invention solves this problem by means of an installation of lockers of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which two sections of module columns, fixed on sides opposite each other of the ticket office modules, they extend, respectively, partly on the height of a module.

The installation of lockers according to the invention it has the advantage that it can be adapted with reduced expense to individual needs, especially can be expanded. It can configure in a variable way due to its modular structure both in height as well as in width over a number discretionary lockers. In this way, the installation of lockers according to the invention can be used in multiple shapes.

Preferably, a ticket office is joined together removable or non-removable with the module. For example, these Elements can be screwed, welded or riveted. This type of construction allows ease of assembly of modules already prefabricated

Especially preferably, two sections of module columns, placed on opposite sides of each other Ticket office modules, in each case extend only partially, in particular essentially halfway, about the height of a module, pointing one of the sections down and pointing the another section up, so that one of the sections of a first module can be placed on the other section of a second module laterally adjacent, so that especially the last two sections mentioned extend, in general, About module height. In this case, in the columns interiors, sections of the columns of lockers modules adjacent laterally and adjacent with inclined sides are placed overlapping. This way they can be completed so advantageous adjacent modules, that is, they are placed at side or overlays, with column sections associated with them to form columns.

Also, preferably, in the columns outside, between the sections of the module columns are arranged so-called blind column sections. These sections are not linked in particular directly with the ticket office modules. Instead, column sections alternate blinds and sections of module columns to complete a column.

More advantageously, the sections of the module columns and blind column sections present essentially the same way. In this way, you get a simplification of the manufacturing process, with which you can Reduce manufacturing costs.

Preferably, the common height of a section of the module column and a section of the blind column, arranged above and below this section of the column of the module, corresponds essentially to the height of a module ticket office. In this way a type of construction is achieved Compact lockers installation, which does not require other spacer bushings or the like, especially during column formation.

Especially preferably, each section of the column is configured as a socket, especially in the form of a cut tube inclined at one end and cut vertically at the other end. In this case, each column it has one or several column cores, which are surrounded by the bushing-shaped column sections that are combined by sections. Column cores fill in this case at least partly inside the section of the column. They extend along the columns and form of this way a central pillar. Through this type of construction, they can easily attach the individual modules over the cores of the columns. By means of the inclined cut pipes, complete the different sections of the columns to form a unitary column The nuclei of the columns composed of sections allow a discretionary extension facility in the vertical direction of the ticket office installation.

In addition, preferably, the cores of the columns are attached to each other detachably by means of sleeves and / or thread. In this way a simple transformation, especially an extension of the Lockers installation.

More advantageously, each column is fixed at its lower end with an anchor in the ground. This anchor, which is specially configured as concrete anchor, provides the column with stability against the overturning of the installation.

Preferably, at least one column, especially the column sections of the cap type and / or the nuclei of the column and / or the anchor, have a cavity for housing electrical and / or optical lines for signal transmission and / or for power supply. These Cavities protect the lines. This is especially advantageous. when the ticket office installation must be installed to operate outdoor.

The lines connect the mechanisms for unlocking a box office door with a control unit and / or A command unit. A control unit of this type may be arranged directly on or next to the lockers installation, while a control unit installed in the vicinity or to distance allows supervision and control of the installation of lockers from the other location. The units arranged in this way allow a comfortable handling of the installation of lockers and in particular, on the one hand, for the user of the installation and, on the other hand, for a person of service for maintenance and control of the installation.

Especially preferably, the unit of command can be activated through biometric features of the user, especially through the so-called fingerprints. That is, the user can be identified through the placing a finger on a sensor, so that the ticket office facilities consider you as an authorized person for open a door of a ticket office and activate the mechanism of unlock But the control unit can also be activated at through other means, such as a keyboard for input of a code, for example of a numerical code, or by means of a data support, especially a chip card. These means for user identification they are advantageous, since they are not They can easily copy as a conventional key. In in particular, through such a control unit you can prevent the loss of a key, which is linked with a lock replacement.

In addition, preferably one or more lockers they present a loudspeaker, a supervisory camera and / or utensils of First aid, such as life jackets. That is, the lockers can be used in multiple ways and are not limited to the conservation of user valuables. Especially through the cavities contained in the columns for the conduction of lines they can be accommodated in the facilities of lockers other electrical components and can be connected with a central, especially with the control unit.

In addition, preferably, some, several or all the lockers have a tube-shaped section, aligned essentially vertical in its longitudinal axis. This section contains especially along a line that extends vertically below the longitudinal axis one or more holes for ventilation and / or for condensation water outlet. From This way it is possible to air conditioning the lockers. With that Damage to the ticket offices proper can be avoided as of the included objects, which are caused by moisture.

The following explains, in particular, others details of the invention with the help of the examples of embodiment represented in the drawing. In this case:

Figure 1 shows an installation of lockers according to the invention in a front view.

Figure 2 shows the installation of lockers of figure 1 in a view from the side.

Figure 3 shows the installation of lockers of figure 1 in a top view.

Figure 4 shows a ticket office module, which It consists of two lockers and two side sections of the module columns.

Figure 5 shows a top closure piece of a ticket office installation according to figure 1.

Figure 6 shows an installation of lockers with a modular extension in a view from the front.

Figure 7 shows the installation of lockers of figure 6 in a top view.

Figure 1 shows an installation of lockers 10, which consists of ten ticket offices 11. Ticket offices 11 they are arranged in five superimposed series, constituted in each case for two lockers 11.

The lockers 11 are supported by two columns 12, 13. Each of these columns 12 is composed of a plurality of column sections 14, where the called blind column sections 15 and sections of the columns of modules 16. To each adjacent pair of lockers 11 is associated to the right and to the left, respectively, a column section 14, which is joined with a module 17 formed to from the two adjacent lockers 11. Therefore, the installation of lockers 10 presents in total five modules of lockers 17.

The sections of the columns of the modules 16 they consist of sections in the form of a tube with section round circular or polygonal, especially triangular or square. Each column section 15, 16 is trimmed inclined at one end and vertical at the other respective end. In the sections of the columns of the modules 16, the cut ends inclined are joined, especially screwed, with a respective box office 11. The sections of the columns of the modules are arranged in this case in such a way that in one of the sides, for example on the left side, as depicted in Figure 1, the vertical cut end points down and the inclined cut end points up. On the other side of a ticket office module 17, the section of the module columns 16 is oriented inverted, that is, the cut end tilted tip down while the cut end Vertical points up. In this way, you get a construction set that can be easily configured, such as explained below in relation to figure 6. Sections of the blind columns 15 serve to fill in the spaces intermediate between two sections of module columns 16 respective placed superimposed. The sections of the columns Blind 15 have the same configuration as the section of the module 16 column, that is, they are cut equally inclined at one end and vertical at the other end. In particular, they also have the same section shape cross.

However, at the lower end of the columns is another section of column 14, not present no end cut inclined. This section of the column is a slightly longer than the other sections of column 15, 16. The lower section of column 14 forms a spacer piece with with respect to the ground, to guarantee a minimum distance.

The lockers 11 have a section 18 in tube shape, which serves to accommodate the objects that They must connect. This tube-shaped section can be closed on the front side by means of a box office door 19 round circular The back side is closed by means of a rear wall 20 equally round circular. The doors of the lockers are hinged 21 self-closing with the 18 sections in the form of a tube. The hinges 21 are arranged in this case, respectively, between two adjacent lockers 11, of so that the doors of the lockers 19 can be opened towards the center of the ticket office modules 17. In this way, it is possible provide a locking mechanism on the outer sides of the ticket office modules 19 and, therefore, in the vicinity of the columns 12, 13. This is advantageous because in this way the lines for the activation of the unlocking mechanism they do not have to be driven through the lockers 11, but they may end directly in the transition of the column / box office. Of this mode, a simplified structure of the installation of box office.

The ticket office installation is closed towards above by means of a closure piece 22. This closure piece 22 it also has a blind column section 15, which is attached with a connection flange 24 on a closure cap 23. this joint flange 24 is attached, especially screwed, into one of its ends with the closing cover 23. In the same way, it is attached, especially screwed, at its other end with another cover of closure 25.

All sections of columns 14, 15, 16 they are coupled on a column core 26. However, of a alternatively, also at one respective end they can present a pivot and at the opposite end a recess, to engage each other.

The closure piece 22 can be joined with at least one of the columns 12, 13, so that it cannot be disassembled, to guarantee protection against theft. In in particular, the blind column section 15 of the closure piece 22 it is joined with a column core 26 such that the piece of closure 22 cannot be disassembled without other auxiliary means. Too  a lock, provided in this section of blind column 15 of the closure piece 22 can fit in the core of column 26 to avoid unauthorized disassembly of the closure piece 22.

Column 12 presents in the middle zone a control unit 28, which has a screen 28a. This unit of Command 28 can be handled by means of the human fingerprint. A box office user can place their finger on a sensor that is associated with the control unit 28. The sensor detects the pattern of the finger and opens a locker that is associated with the user respective. The corresponding box office number is represented on screen 28a.

Figure 2 shows the installation of lockers 10 of Figure 1 in a side view. Sections 18 in the form of tube lockers 11 consist of tube sections cylindrical.

Figure 3 shows a top view of the installation of lockers in figure 1. In this case, the two ticket office doors 19 are open, the hinges 21, respectively, between the two sections 18 in shape of tube. The two tube-shaped sections 18 are joined with preference to each other. However, it is also possible to constitute the installation of lockers so that, respectively, only one ticket office 11 is connected to a section of columns of module 16 and between the two adjacent tubular sections 18 remains a reduced intermediate space. In this case, insurance is planned against additional rotation between the column section of module 16 and the core of the columns 26.

The connection flange 24 is joined with the two closure caps 23 by means of several, especially four screws 27. These closure caps can be attached over column sections 14, 15, 16 or over the column cores 26 respective.

Figure 4 shows a box office module 7 individual, which consists of two ticket offices 11, which are joined together in the hinge zone 21. In sections exterior of the lockers 11, the sections of the columns of modules 16 are arranged in the manner described above, it is say, that the left section of the column of module 16 points with its cut end tilted up and with its end cut vertically down while the right section of the module column 16 points with its cut end tilted toward below and with its vertical cut end up.

In the door of the left ticket office 19 represents a part of the door of the ticket office 19, for reasons of representation, in the area of the junction of the box office 11 with the column section of module 16. In this way, you can see a closing rod 29, which is covered towards the inside of the locker 11 with a cover 30. This locking rod 29 fits, when the door of the ticket office 19 is closed, in the door of the ticket office 19, to block it. The closing rod 29 can be activate preferably electrically or electromechanically to to unlock the door of the ticket office 19. However, the Unlocking mechanism can also be activated pneumatic or hydraulically

In the lower area of sections 18 in shape holes 30a are located in the tube of the lockers 11, to enable condensation water to escape. Therefore, the superimposed placed lockers can also be arranged at a certain distance A from each other (see figure 6), so you can leave without obstacles the outgoing condensation water. The 30th holes they also serve for the ventilation of the interior ticket office. Due to its placement in the adjacent box office area, despite the hole 30a a vision inside the box office is not possible, put that an eventual vision inside is blocked by the ticket office which is below.

Figure 5 shows the closure piece 22 mentioned above with union flange 24 and closure caps 23, which are joined with the joining flange 24. On the cover of left closure 23 is placed a section of blind column 15, its vertical cut end being connected with the closure cap 23, that is, it points up while its cut end inclined point down, to be able to place them flush over the section of the columns of modules 16. In a way correspondingly, the right closing cover 23 is placed on the right section of the column of module 16 and, specifically, equally flush.

Figure 6 shows an installation of lockers 31, which is constituted by an installation of lockers according to the Figure 1 as well as an enlargement. The lower section of the cores 26 of columns 12, 13 and 32 is introduced in each case in a concrete anchor 33 and is unit in this case with anchoring elements 34.

The lower section of the core of column 26 ends in a cavity 35 of the concrete anchor 33. This cavity it has a cable passage hole 36 for conducting cables from the outside to the inside of the cavity 35. Such cables are constituted by electrical and / or optical lines 38, which connect a control unit 37 with the lockout release mechanisms  individual. Lines 38 are conducted, coming from the cavity 35, inside the core of the configured column 26 in the form of a tube and are connected with an unlocking mechanism in the area of the sections of the columns of modules 16 that are inclined cuts.

Another advantage of slanted cut ends of the sections of the module columns is that in by virtue of the inclined short, the interior of these sections of the Cap-shaped columns is conveniently accessible to join, for example, in this place the lines with the mechanisms of unlocking the individual lockers 11.

The conduction of the lines described and the union of the unlocking mechanisms with the control unit 37 is repeated for each column 12, 13, 32.

The cores of the columns 26 are constituted equally by sections. A lower section of column 39 is extends from concrete anchor 33 to the beginning of lower module 17 of the box office. The core sections of the column arranged above have the same length, corresponding its length at the height of a ticket office module. All sections 39, 40 of the core of the columns are joined together by means of sleeves 41. However, alternatively, the core sections of the columns may also have threaded sections in their extreme regions, to be able to screw them each.

The control unit 37 is not only connected through of lines 38 with the lockout mechanisms of the lockers 11, but also through a data line 42 as well as to through a power supply line 43 - if necessary, solar powered - with other structural groups electric Data line 42 is especially connected to a central control unit (not shown), by means of the which service person can supervise the installation of Lockers elsewhere.

A box office user can rent a ticket office by means of the control unit 37. To this end, you can pay at the command unit or elsewhere with either money or A value card a fee during the rental period. The user is identified through a fingerprint sensor 44 and a number is then communicated through a screen 45 box office that has been assigned. Then the user you can load your locker with your objects and you can block it from automatically through the simple closing of the door. Through of the control unit 28 represented in figure 1, the user you can open your locker again, placing your finger on the sensor correspondent. Screen 28a shows, in reaction to the sensor activation, the box office number assigned to the tenant. Otherwise, the unlocking mechanism is controlled in such form that performs a clear anonymous assignment to the user or respective tenant.

Under the special structure of the lockers modules 17 in the form of column sections of modules 16 pointing up and down, respectively, also in the case of extended ticket office facilities 31 according to Figure 6 is sufficient to provide only one closure piece 22 placed on one outer end and close it on the blind cap placed in it. In this way, the adjacent box office module 17 is insured against unauthorized extraction and specifically by middle of its column section of the module pointing down. The other column section of module 16, which points down, of this module 17 secures the adjacent box office module 17 of the extension. In this way, an installation of lockers, which is constituted by a plurality of extensions, by means of a single lock in a first piece of closing 22. Through the opening of this lock you can Dismantle the entire installation of lockers in a simple way, being able to disassemble the lockers modules 17 respective. In this way it is possible to replace, remove or add again lockers without much expense, without having to release a plurality of screw joints, rivets or welding. For the other, the columns or the column cores that carry the modules are made in such a way that you can perform a expansion or replacement of modules essentially without disassemble the units present.

Individual lockers may present also additional functions. They can especially be provided with microphone or speaker 48, with camera 49, with a call key emergency 50 and / or with Red Cross utensils. Through the lines 38 or data line 42 is possible, with the help of the media mentioned, establish a dialogue with the service person in the central control unit, for example to be able to ask for help in case of emergency. In addition, in the unit of control 37 you can also install a screen for the representation of additional information.

Figure 7 shows the installation of lockers according to figure 6 in a top view, being arranged adjacent two modules 17, which are constituted, respectively, by two ticket offices 11. An expanded ticket office facility of this type presents the three columns 12, 13, 32 mentioned previously. The connecting tabs 24 are also joined by screw means 46 with closure caps 47.

Locker modules 17 have been described which are constituted, respectively, by two ticket offices 11. However, the modules 17 may also consist of another number of lockers 11 and specifically for a single ticket office 11 or also for three, four or more lockers.

In general, the installation of lockers according to the The invention offers a plurality of variation possibilities. It especially allows the construction of an installation of Lockers of this type on beaches and, therefore, outdoors. In In this case, you can adapt the size of an installation of lockers without complicated measures to the prevailing needs in place, especially to the demand of the visitors of the Beach. Through the union with detection facilities for the detection of biometric features, such as fingerprints, the installation can be serviced without keys of lockers and, therefore, is especially suitable for beaches and Similar.
