Definitions
- the present invention relates to an acceptance device for reverse vending machines for rotary bodies, in particular for bottle or can-shaped beverage containers, having an acceptance region having an inlet for input and output of a rotary body and a support for the rotary body, one the rotary body transverse to its longitudinal axis Laterally from the receiving area in a receiving area transporting Seitschubelement, a detection device and the Erken ⁇ nungs coupled associated rolling device for rolling the rotary body (5) about its longitudinal axis.
- All known reverse vending machines or comparable devices for accepting bottle, can or cup-shaped beverage containers have a specially designed receiving area with functionally associated following areas.
- the belt conveyor In order to enable the container for identification by means of a suitable detection in a rotation about its longitudinal axis, either as in DE 201 12 651 U1, the belt conveyor must be tilted laterally apart, so that the container falls between two arranged below rotating rollers to then the belt conveyor to bring the container back into the starting position again, or the belt conveyors are designed integrally with a conveyor roller construction as in EP 1 167 247 B1, according to either the belt conveyors or the integrated conveyor rollers for rotating identification of the container , are driven.
- the container to be assumed can finally be transported to a location laterally adjacent to the belt conveyor or to a downstream location of the belt conveyor, or the non-assumed container can be returned to the accepting position by reversing the transport direction of the belt conveyors.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an acceptance device for automatic reverse vending machines, in particular for bottle or can-shaped beverage containers, which permits low construction heights of the automatic return machines, but with a relatively simple, functionally reliable as well as robust construction and a high wear resistance and a high resistance to vandalism aufwei ⁇ sen should.
- this object is achieved in that the rolling device at least partially forms the support of the acceptance region for the rotary body and a roller thrust member associated with the rolling device is provided which extends along the longitudinal axis of the rotary body in the direction of the inlet, at least partially pushing out the rotary body the acceptance area is formed.
- Figure 1 is a sectional front view of a preferred embodiment of the inventive assumption device, without housing ,;
- FIG. 2 shows a sectional side view of the acceptance device from FIG. 1.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show sectional views of a preferred embodiment of the receiving device according to the invention with an inlet 1 for rotary bodies in the form of beverage containers 5, which can be closed via a closure element 2. It is understood, however, that such a closure element may also be absent in other variants of the receiving device according to the invention.
- the beverage container 5 inserted horizontally in the direction of its longitudinal axis is arranged and deposited directly on a rolling device in the form of a container roller device 6, between the shafts 7 thereof.
- the Be somnnisroll uncomfortable 6 forms with an ⁇ their words the intended for the beverage container 5 edition of the acceptance area 3 from.
- the axes of rotation of the shafts 7, of which at least one shaft 7 is driven by a motor, are arranged in FIG. 1 in a vertical projection parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the beverage container 5. It is understood, however, that in other variants of the acceptance device according to the invention the rolling device can also be inclined to the horizontal.
- the Seitschubelement 8 is tunnel-shaped with a substantially U-shaped cross-section (see Figure 1), arranged above the container roller 6 and pivotable by means of its motor-driven pivot axis 9 at least in the direction ofCDCbe ⁇ rich 4.
- the tunnel-shaped formation of the lateral thrust element 8 can at the same time limit the acceptance area 3 above and laterally at least predominantly.
- the longitudinal pushing element 10 is plate-shaped and at the same time designed as a rear wall of the receiving region 3 and as a separate unit for the container rolling device 6. In its work final position, the longitudinal thrust element 10 is guided over the container roller device 6 and in the direction of the inlet 1, so that a beverage container 5 introduced into the acceptance region 3 is then at least partially pushed back out of the acceptance region 3. It should only be mentioned in this context that a beam-shaped design of the longitudinal thrust element 10 would also be possible here from a functional point of view, but this would also result in at least an additional constructional effort, in particular with regard to the rear boundary of the acceptance region 3.
- the longitudinal push element 10 is motor-driven by means of a drive 13, whereby its guide 11 is preferably designed to be column-shaped or dovetail-like.
- a drive 13 whereby its guide 11 is preferably designed to be column-shaped or dovetail-like.
- both the longitudinal thrust element 10 and its guide 11 is preferably disposed within the boundary of the Seitschubimplantations 8 and together with this and the drive 13 pivotally. This makes it possible to realize the previously described and desired positive effects particularly well.
- An ⁇ receiving device has the recognition device shown in particular in Figure 2. It comprises at least one associated with the inlet 1 and its closure element 2 controlling optical switch 12.1 (but would also be possible here the use of a Licht ⁇ barrier) and an image recognition unit 12.2 for detecting and evaluating the shape and / or logo and / or on the Beverage container 5 applied codes, such as a bar code.
- the image and material recognition unit 12.2, 12.3 and also the weighing unit 12.4 are in operative connection via a corresponding control both with the lateral thrust element 8 and with the longitudinal thrust element 10.
- the Seitschubelement 8 is preferably at least partially transparent Asbil ⁇ det. Open sidewall or ceiling areas of the tunnel-shaped Seitschub varieties 8 are for understandable reasons, especially with regard to the protection of the measurement of impurities and damage, preferably not provided.
- the weighing unit 12.4 is adjustable with respect to a load end point and connected via a corresponding control with the longitudinal thrust element 10.
- all supports of the shafts 7 of the container roller device 6 are in operative contact with the weighing unit 12.4.
- only some of the supports of the shaft container rolling device or other parts of the container rolling device can be in effective contact with the weighing unit.
- the optical probe 12.1 assigned to the inlet 1 is activated by a user due to a desired return of a beverage container 5, this activates the drive of the closure element 2. This releases the inlet 1 so that the bottle-shaped or can-shaped beverage container 5 is horizontal and longitudinal , So along sei ⁇ ner longitudinal axis, on and thus between the two shafts 7 of the container roller 6 can be stored.
- the beverage container 5 is too long or not sufficiently far in the acceptance area 3 ein ⁇ , preferably has a visual and / or audible signal to this fact and the closure element 2 remains in the position 1 releasing the inlet. This also leaves the overall system of the acceptance device at rest. If the too long beverage container 5 is removed from the acceptance area 3, the closure element 2 closes the inlet 1 again, and the acceptance device is again ready to accept.
- the closure element 2 closes the inlet 1 again. At the same time, the entire system of the acceptance device is activated in this case.
- the weighing unit determines 12.4, whether the beverage container 5 exceeds a set load end point or not.
- the longitudinal thrust element 10 arranged in its starting position and the closure element 2 are actuated.
- the latter opens the inlet 1 and the longitudinal push element 10 is guided by means of its drive 13 and its guide 11 in its working end position, in which it is above the Be Zellnisrol- l sensible 6 and is displaced in the direction of the inlet 1.
- the beverage container 5 is at least partially pushed out of the inlet 1 and must be removed by the user as not accepted container.
- the shafts 7 of the container roller device 6 are driven by a motor so that the beverage container 5 is set into a rotating movement about its longitudinal axis.
- the shafts 7 of the container roller device 6 are driven by a motor so that the beverage container 5 is set into a rotating movement about its longitudinal axis.
- the control of the Seitschub elements 8 pivots by means of its driven pivot axis 9 in the direction ofconcentreberei ⁇ Che 4 and transported with its trailing side wall, the beverage container 5 across to its longitudinal axis forcibly in this receiving area 4.
- the beverage ke variousnis 5 can be treated in any predetermined manner, for example, collected or crushed, be.
- a deposit return or a value bonus issue can be triggered.
- the Seitschubelement 8 is returned to its - shown in the figures - réelle ⁇ position, so that the acceptance device is ready for a new acceptance process.
