Description of the invention
La máquina expendedora de bebidas en vaso, es del tipo que comprende: un mueble provisto de una puerta de acceso; un selector de bebida por parte del usuario; un monedero de previo pago; un dispensador de vasos; opcionalmente una máquina de suministro de hielo; un dispositivo para la preparación y servicio en vaso de la bebida seleccionada; un dispensador de tapas para el cierre del vaso lleno con la bebida, o bebida con hielo seleccionada; y un dispositivo de traslación encargado de desplazar el vaso suministrado por el dispensador de vasos por las sucesivas estaciones de suministro de hielo, de servicio de la bebida preparada y de colocación de la tapa sobre el mismo. The vending machine for beverages in glass is of the type that includes: a piece of furniture provided with an access door; a beverage selector by the user; a pre-paid wallet; a cup dispenser; optionally an ice supply machine; a device for the preparation and serving in glass of the selected beverage; a lid dispenser for closing the glass filled with the beverage, or beverage with selected ice; and a translation device in charge of moving the vessel supplied by the cup dispenser through the successive stations of ice supply, serving of the prepared beverage and placing the lid on it.
Esta máquina expendedora presenta unas particularidades constructivas orientadas a garantizar el suministro y la colocación de forma automática, fiable y efectiva de una tapa sobre los vasos llenos con las bebidas seleccionadas por los usuarios. This vending machine has constructive features aimed at guaranteeing the supply and placement of a lid on the full glasses with the drinks selected by the users automatically, reliably and effectively.
Para conseguir los objetivos propuestos la máquina está provista de un dispensador de tapas que comprende: al menos, un almacén vertical en el que se encuentran apiladas una pluralidad de tapas; un cabezal provisto de unas ventosas conectadas a un equipo de vacío y que realizan el agarre individualizado de las tapas de un almacén y su posicionamiento sobre sucesivos vasos en una zona de entrega y posicionamiento de tapas, cuyo cabezal está montado con posibilidad de desplazamiento vertical y sin posibilidad de giro respecto a un cuerpo principal de eje vertical; encontrándose acoplado dicho cuerpo principal a un mecanismo motorizado de giro que provocan su rotación entre unas determinadas posiciones angulares, en las que el cabezal se dispone alineado verticalmente con uno
cualquiera de los almacenes de tapas o con la zona de entrega y posicionamiento de las tapas. To achieve the proposed objectives the machine is provided with a lid dispenser comprising: at least one vertical warehouse in which a plurality of caps are stacked; a head provided with suction cups connected to a vacuum equipment and that perform the individual grip of the lids of a warehouse and its positioning on successive vessels in a delivery area and positioning of lids, whose head is mounted with the possibility of vertical displacement and no possibility of rotation with respect to a main body of vertical axis; said main body being coupled to a motorized rotation mechanism that cause its rotation between certain angular positions, in which the head is arranged vertically aligned with one any of the tapas stores or with the delivery and positioning area of the covers.
El cabezal se encuentra montado a través de una ranura longitudinal del cuerpo principal y asociado a un mecanismo de desplazamiento lineal que provoca su desplazamiento en dirección vertical. The head is mounted through a longitudinal groove of the main body and associated with a linear displacement mechanism that causes its displacement in the vertical direction.
Mediante la combinación de movimientos longitudinales y movimientos de giro del cabezal se consigue que éste se desplace verticalmente por el interior de un almacén vertical hasta recoger con las ventosas una tapa, realice su extracción vertical del almacén, gire lateralmente hasta enfrentarse verticalmente con la zona de entrega y posicionamiento de la tapa sobre un envase, y se desplace verticalmente para realizar dicho posicionamiento. La forma en que el cabezal posiciona las tapas es partiendo de una posición inicial en la que dicho cabezal está encima de uno de los almacenes de tapas; cuando comienza el ciclo de trabajo el cabezal se mueve hacia abajo en vertical y mediante un microinterruptor detecta que ha llegado a la altura de las tapas, para coger mediante vacío, a través de las ventosas, aquella tapa que ocupa la posición más elevada en el interior del almacén. Cuando el cabezal ha recogido una tapa, dicho cabezal inicia un movimiento de ascenso para extraer la tapa por la parte superior del almacén. Una vez extraída la tapa del almacén, el cuerpo principal hace una rotación disponiendo al cabezal alineado verticalmente con la zona de entrega y posicionamiento de tapas, donde está colocado el vaso a tapar. Through the combination of longitudinal movements and movements of rotation of the head it is achieved that it moves vertically through the interior of a vertical warehouse until a lid is collected with the suckers, perform its vertical removal from the warehouse, turn laterally until it faces vertically with the area of delivery and positioning of the lid on a container, and move vertically to perform said positioning. The way in which the head positions the covers is from an initial position in which said head is above one of the lid stores; when the work cycle begins the head moves down vertically and by means of a microswitch detects that it has reached the height of the covers, to take by vacuum, through the suction cups, that cover that occupies the highest position in the warehouse interior. When the head has picked up a lid, said head starts an ascent movement to remove the lid from the top of the warehouse. Once the lid of the warehouse is removed, the main body makes a rotation by arranging the head vertically aligned with the delivery and positioning area of the lids, where the vessel to be covered is placed.
Tras esto, el cabezal desciende hasta llegar al vaso, colocando la tapa en el mismo, y detectando, por ejemplo mediante el microinterruptor mencionado anteriormente, que el cabezal ha presionado la tapa contra el vaso con una fuerza suficiente para garantizar que ha sido colocada correctamente. After this, the head descends until it reaches the vessel, placing the lid on it, and detecting, for example by means of the microswitch mentioned above, that the head has pressed the lid against the vessel with sufficient force to ensure that it has been placed correctly. .
Entonces el cabezal se desplaza en sentido ascendente, llegando a su posición más elevada; después el cuerpo principal rota hasta que el cabezal queda alineado verticalmente con uno de los almacenes de tapas, al que debe acceder para coger la próxima tapa, y tras ello el cabezal desciende quedando a una pequeña distancia
de la tapa que debe recoger en el siguiente ciclo. Esta posición la controla mediante un dispositivo de detección, sin contacto. Then the head moves upwards, reaching its highest position; then the main body rotates until the head is aligned vertically with one of the lid stores, which must be accessed to take the next cover, and after that the head descends to a small distance of the cover that must be collected in the next cycle. This position is controlled by a contactless detection device.
Dado que hay dos almacenes diferentes de tapas, el cabezal va inicialmente al primer almacén, y cuando se terminan las tapas de este almacén, el cabezal lo detecta y entonces pasa al segundo almacén. Since there are two different caps stores, the head initially goes to the first warehouse, and when the covers of this warehouse are finished, the head detects it and then goes to the second warehouse.

El desplazamiento angular del cuerpo principal (13), y del cabezal (1 1 ) conjuntamente con aquél, se consigue mediante un mecanismo motorizado de giro (17) que comprende unos piñones que transmiten el movimiento de rotación de un motor (18) al mencionado cuerpo principal (13). Tanto el cuerpo principal (13) como los almacenes (10) de tapas (T) disponen de una ranura longitudinal para el desplazamiento vertical por su interior de un brazo que relaciona el cabezal (1 1 ) con el mecanismo (15) de desplazamiento lineal. In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 5, the linear displacement mechanism (15) responsible for longitudinally displacing the head (1 1) can be observed, being in this case a spindle nut mechanism driven by a motor (16) arranged in the upper area of the lid dispenser (8) (T). The angular displacement of the main body (13), and of the head (1 1) together with it, is achieved by a motorized turning mechanism (17) comprising pinions that transmit the rotational movement of a motor (18) to said one main body (13). Both the main body (13) and the lid stores (10) have a longitudinal groove for vertical displacement through its interior of an arm that relates the head (1 1) to the linear displacement mechanism (15) .
Como se puede observar en las figuras 3 y 7 el cabezal (1 1 ) comprende dos placas (19, 20) colocadas paralelamente, posibilitadas de movimiento relativo en dirección vertical y separadas por unos muelles (21 ), de forma que al ejercer el cabezal (1 1 ) una presión determinada contra una tapa (T), ya sea durante su recogida en el interior de un almacén (10) o durante su colocación sobre un vaso, la placas se aproximan comprimiendo los muelles (21 ), ejerciendo el cabezal (1 1 ) contra la tapa (T) una presión determinada y adecuada para realizar su agarre por parte de las ventosas en el interior de un almacén así como en la fase de colocación sobre un vaso. As can be seen in Figures 3 and 7, the head (1 1) comprises two plates (19, 20) placed in parallel, allowing relative movement in the vertical direction and separated by springs (21), so that when the head is exercised (1 1) a pressure determined against a lid (T), either during collection inside a warehouse (10) or during placement on a glass, the plates are approximated by compressing the springs (21), exerting the head (1 1) against the lid (T) a determined and adequate pressure to make its grip by the suction cups inside a warehouse as well as in the placement phase on a glass.
Con las características mencionadas anteriormente cuando un vaso lleno con la bebida a dispensar es desplazado el dispositivo de traslación (9) hasta una posición enfrentada con la zona (14) de entrega y posicionamiento de tapas (T) del dispensador (8), éste realiza automáticamente una serie de movimientos para extraer verticalmente una de las tapas (T) por la zona superior de uno de los almacenes (10), desplazarla lateralmente y a continuación en dirección vertical descendente para colocarla sobre el vaso correspondiente.
Una vez descrita suficientemente la naturaleza de la invención, así como un ejemplo de realización preferente, se hace constar a los efectos oportunos que los materiales, forma, tamaño y disposición de los elementos descritos podrán ser modificados, siempre y cuando ello no suponga una alteración de las características esenciales de la invención que se reivindican a continuación.
