Description

The utility model relates to the field of commercial engineering, namely to multifunctional vending machines, the so-called multi-vending machines for selling various liquids and related products in one housing with a main control board and a single payment system.

Known aqua vending machines of various designs, designed for automatically controlled sale of water in the container of the buyer after payment (RU 123770, published on 01/10/2013; RU 201320, publ. 12/09/2020; RU 209444, publ. 03/16/2022).

However, a modern consumer needs to simultaneously purchase empty disinfected containers, as well as related products such as bottles, bottle caps, bottle holders, etc., as well as packaged food products. These vending machines cannot satisfy this need.

A dual-purpose vending machine is known that performs the function of selling empty containers and liquids for bottling (RU 121382, publ. 20.10.2012). However, this machine sells only one type of finished packaging, in addition, the storage and sale of these containers is carried out without prior sanitization, which is unsafe in street trading conditions with polluted air.

Closest to the claimed is a dual-purpose vending machine (multi-vending) (RU 2568312, publ. 11/20/2015), which contains a housing with two blocks, the first block is a block for issuing solid or packaged food products, the second block is a block for bottling water and drinks , partially overlapping the first block. The second block includes a housing for installing elements and containers with ingredients for making drinks.

The disadvantages of such a vending machine are the need for constant replenishment of drinking water supplies due to the lack of connection of the vending machine to the water supply and the necessary cleaning, as well as the lack of sanitization of liquids and related products located in the vending machine trading in outdoor conditions with polluted air.

EFFECT: expansion of the range of multi-vending machines, simplification of their maintenance and operation by obtaining drinking water from tap water, as well as ensuring sanitary-safe trade in street conditions.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the multi-vending machine containing the module for storing and issuing related products, the module for filling water and the control system, unlike the prototype, additionally contains a module for obtaining drinking water and an ozonizer, while the module for obtaining drinking water is made with the ability to connect to the water supply . The module for storing and issuing related products, the module for filling water, and the module for obtaining drinking water are placed in a common sealed housing and connected by pipelines to the ozonator, and the control system is made with the additional ability to control the operation of the module for obtaining drinking water.

In addition, in order to obtain mineralized and high-quality purified water, the drinking water production module contains filters, a reverse osmosis membrane, a mineralizer, a tank with an ultraviolet lamp and a water level sensor in the tank. Moreover, it is allowed to use optical, mechanical or electromechanical sensors.

For the convenience of trading, the module for storing and issuing related products is made with shelves on which spirals are installed, connected to electric motors that ensure the forward movement of goods to the issuing tray.

In addition, the module for producing drinking water additionally contains an additive block for producing drinks based on purified drinking water.

The utility model is illustrated by the following figures.

In FIG. 1 shows the placement of modules in the body of the machine.

In FIG. 2 shows a block for obtaining drinking water from tap water.

In FIG. 3 - module for storing and issuing related products.

The multi vending machine includes:

1 - machine body;

2 - module for storing and issuing related products;

3 - block for drinking water;

4 - module for filling water and drinks;

5 - ozonator;

6 - pipelines for supplying ozone;

7 - coarse filter;

8 - coarse filter;

9 - fine filter;

10 - reverse osmosis membrane;

11 - membrane;

12 - optical sensor;

13 - ultraviolet (UV) lamp;

14 - tank;

15 - post-filter;

16 - Mineralizer;

17 - block of fillers (liquid additives);

18 - pipeline for purified drinking water or drink;

19 - shelves of module 2;

20 - related piece goods;

21 - spiral;

22 - electric motor;

23 - tray.

The operation of the machine is carried out as follows.

Preliminary, on the signals of the controller of the control system (not shown), the machine is supplied with tap water to module 3, in which water passes through coarse filters 7, 8, fine filters 9, through a reverse osmosis membrane 10, then water passes through a post-filter 15 and a mineralizer 16. After that, the water enters the tank 14 made of stainless steel with a UV lamp 13 installed in it. The circulation of water inside the tank 14 is carried out due to the ozone coming from the ozonizer 5. The water is poured into the consumer's container by a supply pump (not shown) , the operation of the reverse osmosis system is carried out by a booster pump (not shown) or without it, with sufficient pressure in the water supply system.

Passing through block 17, the water becomes alkaline, various flavoring, mineral, chemical additives can be added to it at the choice of the consumer.

The finished drink or drinking water, at the signal of the controller, flows through the pipeline 18 with the help of a pump (not shown) into the filling chamber (not shown) of the module 4.

When the volume of water in the tank 14 decreases, the optical (mechanical or electromechanical) sensor 12 sends a signal to the control system, then to the drinking water production module 3, which will replenish the tank 14, and after the operation of the optical sensor 12, the control system will turn off the unit 3.

By this time, after payment, the consumer will receive a disinfected container, which he will select on the control system panel. The container at the choice of the consumer is thrown into the tray 23 with the help of a spring 21 and an engine 22 from the corresponding shelf 19 of module 2.

Disinfection of containers located together with related products in module 2 occurs periodically according to the signals of the controller, for this (Fig. 1) ozone coming from the ozonator 5 through pipelines 6 disinfects air and water in modules 2, 4 and 3.

Tank 14 is ozonated both with water (in water, ozone decomposes by half in 20-30 minutes into a hydroxyl group and oxygen), and without it, which increases the disinfection efficiency. In the case when the consumer wants to purchase a related product, for example, a bottle cap, snacks, etc., then he presses the appropriate buttons on the selection panel, pays for the purchase and receives it through tray 23.
