Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for releasing and receiving transport trolleys which are kept ready at a collection point, a number of locks being arranged at the collection point on at least one holder, which lockable elements for securing locking elements attached to the transport trolleys are determined and the transport routes coupled to the locks with the aid of the locking elements can be removed by paying a deposit or a fee from the collection point and can be coupled to the locks again at the collection point after use.
  • a method is proposed according to which the wagon user is informed by signaling devices located at the collection point, from which lock a transport wagon can be uncoupled and to which lock the returned transport wagon is to be coupled again.
  • the invention proposes to provide a control central unit which is electrically switched with a coin-operated machine located at the collecting point and each lock has a locking device which can be controlled by the control central unit, the locking unit for receiving and releasing one Locking element is determined and each lock is assigned a signaling device which indicates which of the coupled trolleys is intended for removal and to which lock a returned trolley is to be coupled.
  • the invention advantageously makes it possible for only the last transport carriage in a row of stacked transport carriages to be removed and a returned transport carriage to be coupled in such a way that there is no gap between the row of stacked transport carriages and the returned transport carriage. The desired order is thereby achieved.
  • the collection point 2 being designed as an extremely simple structural arrangement for a better understanding and the number of transport carriages 3 and thus that of the locks 7, 8, 9 ... n to a minimum is reduced.
  • the collection point 2 can also have a roof, it can be designed as a housing or, as shown, as a simple frame construction.
  • the number of transport trolleys 3 that can be parked in a stack row per collection point 2 can also be very different. Thirty to fifty trolleys 3 per row are a realistic number.
  • the device 1 has a number of transport trolleys 3 which can preferably be pushed into one another to save space and a collection point 2 intended for the transport trolleys 3.
  • the collective position 2 is equipped with at least one holder 6, on or in which locks 7, 8, 9 ... n are fixed at predetermined intervals.
  • the holder 6 is expediently designed as a rail or tube construction.
  • the locks 7, 8, 9 ... n are approximately of the type that is known, for example, from coin locks located on shopping carts.
  • Each lock 7, 8, 9 ... n is assigned a signal device 17, the function of which will be described later.
  • the signaling devices 17 can be fastened directly to the locks 7, 8, 9 ... n or to the holder 6.
  • a coin machine 18 is preferably provided at the beginning of the collecting point 2.
  • the coin machine 18 is intended to accept a coin deposit or a fee that is usually due when a trolley 3 is removed from the collection point 2. It is up to the respective application whether, for example, the deposit is returned in full or in part when the trolley 3 is returned or whether the trolley 3 can only be removed by paying a fee.
  • the same locking element 4 is captively attached to the trolley 3. Each locking element 4, which performs the function of a coupling part, fits into one of the locks 7, 8, 9 ... n.

  • the signaling device 17 of the free lock 7, 8, 9 ... n that immediately follows a occupied lock 7 or 8 or 9 or ... n lights up. In the example, this is the signaling device 17 of the lock 10.
  • the signaling device 17 lights up on the lock whose ver ⁇ locking element 4 is now released. In the example, this is the signaling device 17 of the lock 9. After the transport carriage 3 has been removed, the signaling device 17 of the lock 10 goes out, but not that of the lock 9. If the described procedure is repeated for the purpose of removing another transport carriage 3, the signal lights up ⁇ device 17 of the lock 8 and the signaling device 17 of the lock 9 goes out when the trolley 3 is uncoupled from the lock 8. The signal device 17 of the lock 8 remains illuminated.
  • a trolley 3 If a trolley 3 is brought back to the collection point 2, it can only be coupled to the lock whose signaling device 17 lights up. This is always the free lock that immediately follows a occupied lock. According to the drawing, this is the lock 10.
  • the locking element 4 By inserting the locking element 4 into the lock 10, the locking element 4 is locked by the locking device 15 of the lock 10.
  • the locking process triggers a contact, which is reported by the control unit 14 of the lock 10 to the control central unit 16.
  • This causes the coin machine 18, if provided, to return at least part of the coin deposit previously paid. If a fee is paid, no payment will be made. Irrespective of this, the signaling device 17 of that lock goes out, in the example it is the lock 10 to which the last returned trolley 3 has been coupled.
  • the signal device 17 of the lock 11 now lights up, as a sign that a trolley 3 can be coupled there.
  • the locks 7, 8, 9 ... n do not necessarily have to be equipped with an electronic control unit 14. If a somewhat more extensive wiring of the electrical components is accepted, the locking device 15 located in the locks 7, 8, 9... N, for example, acting electromagnetically, can be controlled directly by the control central unit 16 in order to achieve the one desired by the invention To achieve benefits. It is also easy for a person skilled in the art to switch the locks 7, 8, 9 ... n with the control central unit 16, for example by means of a parallel connection, in such a way that if one of the locks 7 or 8 or ... n fails, the function ability of the other locks 7 or 8 or ... n and the signaling devices 17 are retained.
  • n has a locking device which can be controlled by the control central unit 16 15 for a locking element ent 4 and that signaling devices 17 are switched on, which indicate exactly which transport carriage 3 can be removed from the collection point 2 and where a returned transport carriage 3 can be coupled without causing gaps.
  • the invention encompasses all common types of telescopic trolleys 3 that can be moved by hand. These include, in particular, platform trolleys, shopping trolleys for all kinds of markets, and luggage trolleys for train stations and airfields.

Abstract

Un procédé et un dispositif (1) servent à libérer et à reprendre des chariots de transport (3) mis à disposition dans un site collecteur (2). Une pluralité de verrous (7, 8, 9 ... n) qui servent à recevoir de manière verrouillable des éléments de verrouillage (4) assujettis aux chariots de transport (3) sont montés sur au moins un support (6) dans le site collecteur (2). On peut retirer du site collecteur (2) les chariots de transport (3) couplés aux verrous (7, 8, 9 ... n) au moyen des éléments de verrouillage, en déposant une caution ou en payant une taxe et après leur utilisation, on peut les coupler à nouveau aux verrous (7, 8, 9 ... n) dans le site collecteur (2). L'invention se caractérise en ce que des dispositifs de signalisation (17) situés dans le site collecteur (2) indiquent à l'utilisateur des chariots de quel verrou (7, 8, 9 ... n) il peut détacher un chariot de transport (3). De même, lorsque l'utilisateur du chariot ramène le chariot de transport (3), les dispositifs de signalisation (17) lui indiquent à quel verrou (7, 8, 9 ... n) il doit coupler à nouveau le chariot de transport (3).
