Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bean container for a vending machine with a container for storage, with a dispensing opening for the supply of beans in a grinder and with respect to the dispensing opening movably arranged coupling element for connecting the container with the drinks vending machine.
  • the bean container may be, for example, a coffee bean container for a coffee machine.
  • such a bean container for a coffee machine For closing an output shaft, it has a closure unit with at least one closure element, which is pivotably mounted between its end positions about a pivot axis arranged parallel to the axis of the output shaft.
  • the closure unit has a mechanical drive, by means of which the closure element, coupled to a rotational movement of the container, can be pivoted from an open position into a closed position and vice versa.
  • a disadvantage of the bean container is the complex structure of the mechanical drive, which requires a variety of items, thus leading to high production costs and prone to interference.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a bean container for a drinks vending machine, the closure is simple in construction and therefore less expensive to produce.
  • both the container and the coupling element in the region of the discharge opening in each case have a closure element.
  • the closure elements represent planar components that partially obscure the discharge opening. To open and close the discharge opening, they are moved relative to each other, so that they either overlie each other, the discharge opening partially free or adjacent to each other completely blocking.
  • the present bean container including its closure device consists of only two parts, namely the container and the coupling element. So the coupling element fulfills a dual function: on the one hand it connects the container with the grinder and on the other hand it serves to actuate the discharge opening on the container.
  • a connecting element between container and grinder it can be designed to be rigid relative to the container.
  • the container since it cooperates with the container for opening and closing the discharge opening, it must at least be designed to be movable relative to the container.
  • the actuation movements for the (dis) assembly of the container and the discharge opening should be decoupled from each other. For this they may, for example, require a different direction of rotation or a rotation on the one hand and a displacement on the other.
  • a rectified movement locking means may be arranged which fix an open position or insbesondre a closed position of the container.
  • connection technique between container and grinder preferably depends on the outer shape of the bean container.
  • the coupling element may be a coupling ring arranged coaxially with the container, which is rotatably connected to the container.
  • the connection technique can be carried out according to the tongue and groove principle.
  • stops may be provided on the container and / or on the coupling element with which it is possible to define two end positions of the movement. An end position then corresponds to the open position of the discharge opening, the other of the closed position.
  • connection of the bean container with the grinder of the vending machine can be done by a connector, such as a bayonet.
  • the coupling element may for this purpose have corresponding connecting elements, such as lugs, which interact with corresponding counter-elements on the grinding mechanism. The coupling element can thereby lock against rotation on the grinder.
  • the respective closure element on the container and / or on the coupling element is integrally formed therewith.
  • the Ver- Locking elements can thus either be made separately and permanently connected to the container or coupling element permanently. Or they are, for example, in one piece connected by injection molding with the container or the coupling element. This simple structure ensures great robustness, cost-effective production and high reliability, combined with a long service life, since only a part has to be moved to open or close the discharge opening.
  • the closure elements may each consist of segments whose shape is basically arbitrary.
  • the closure elements on the container or on the coupling element close the dispensing opening in half. They are then congruent or congruent. As a result, they can be pushed over each other when opening the discharge opening, so that the closure element of the coupling element disappears completely under or behind the closure element of the container.
  • This design ensures a maximum release of the delivery opening.
  • the closure elements each have the shape of a semicircular segment.
  • the closing elements may have the shape of a rectangular segment.
  • the closure element is arranged inclined to the container relative to the plane of the discharge opening in the discharge direction.
  • the container and / or the coupling element have means for their handling.
  • a means on the container for example, a ring with recessed grips preferably be formed in the upper region and the outer periphery of the container.
  • the upper area is particularly well suited for this because it is easily accessible to a user and allows ergonomic handling. It can also ensure the entire surface as a bean container by its shape and / or the material chosen for him a pleasant and safe feel.
  • radially projecting gripping elements such as lugs or cams, may be attached to the coupling element. This facilitates the attachment or release of the coupling element on the grinder of the drinks vending machine, as a better power transmission is possible directly on the coupling element.
  • higher operating forces can be applied by means of the handling means, whereby, for example, in the discharge opening, jamming beans can easily be removed when closing.
  • FIG. 1 shows a bean container according to the invention in a perspective side view
  • FIG. 3 shows a vertical section of the bean container in the closed position
  • Figure 4 shows a vertical section of the bean container in the open position.
  • FIG. 1 shows a bean container 10 with a hollow-cylindrical container 12, which tapers in a funnel shape toward a discharge opening 13 towards the bottom.
  • the discharge opening 13 surrounds a flange 14, which is rotatably connected to a coupling ring 16 arranged coaxially therewith.
  • the coupling ring 16 has on its outer circumference two radially projecting and opposing cams 18.
  • a circumferential ring 20 is integrally formed with recessed grips 22 on the outer circumference.
  • the ring 20 encloses a filling opening 24, which forms the upper end of the container 12.
  • the bean container 10 can be attached via the coupling ring 16 to a grinder of a vending machine (not shown in Figure 1).
  • the coupling ring 16 is locked against rotation by a bayonet lock on the grinder.
  • the container filled beans can leave the container 12 if necessary through the discharge opening 13 in the direction of grinder.
  • the container 12 is rotated on the ring 20 relative to the coupling ring 16. With the discharge opening 13 closed, the bean container 10 can also be filled and removed from the grinder. This may be necessary, for example, when the grinder needs to be cleaned.
  • FIG. 2 shows the discharge opening 13 in the closed position. It is closed by two semicircular segments 26 and 28.
  • the segment 26 is part of the container 12 and the segment 28 is part of the coupling ring 16. If the bean container 10 is attached to the grinder, the dispensing opening 13 can be opened or closed by turning the container 12. The segments 26 and 28 are rotated relative to each other.
  • the recessed grips 22 on the ring 20 facilitate the handling of the container 12th
  • FIG. 3 shows the closed position of the bean container 10 in a vertical section through the symmetry axis 30 of the container 12. It shows the segments 26, 28 in each case as integral components of the container 12 or of the coupling ring 16. They each cover one half of the discharge opening 13.
  • the coupling ring 16 has above the cam 18 on an annular portion 32 which surrounds the flange 14 of the container 12 coaxially on the outside.
  • a pointing in the direction of the container 12 free end of the annular portion 32 has a circumferential collar 34 which is angled from the annular portion 32 to the flange 14 out.
  • the collar 34 engages in a circumferential groove 36 of the flange 14 a.
  • the discharge opening 13 is closed in the illustrated closed position by the segments 26 and 28.
  • the segment 26 is arranged above the segment 28, so that when the discharge opening 13 (FIG. 4) is opened, the segment 28 can be rotated under the segment 26.
  • the discharge opening 13 is then opened for the passage of beans from the container 12 in the grinder.
  • the segment 28 is inclined in the discharge direction of the beans. The container 12 can thereby be completely emptied without leaving beans on the segment 28.
