Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is an automatic distributor of products on which pressure cannot be exerted and intended to be sold individually or in a determined number, in particular bakery or pastry products.
- Automatic dispensers are already known which fall into two categories, namely a first category comprising the dispensers, used to deliver cigarettes, confectionery, etc., in which the products are stacked and subjected to pressure to fall, a to a, in a drawer whose opening is controlled by a payment device and a second category comprising the distributors, used to deliver products which cannot, on the one hand, be stacked and, on the other hand, be subjected to pressure, such as prepared meals, pastries, etc., in which each product to be dispensed is enclosed in a compartment, each compartment of the dispenser being closed by a door, the opening of which is triggered by a payment device.
- the distributors belonging to the first category mentioned above have the disadvantage of not being able to be used to distribute products which cannot be neither stacked nor subjected to pressure
- the distributors belonging to the second category have various disadvantages, such as: need to have a large area to make all the compartments available to the public, need to monitor almost constantly to replenish empty compartments, high cost of these dispensers due to the closure system of each compartment, considerable risk of break-in damage, etc.
- the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to provide a large-capacity dispenser, the part of which is accessible to the public is of small area, this area corresponding to the size of a compartment containing the product to be dispensed and the size of the payment device.
- This dispenser while allowing to see the dispensed product, significantly reduces the risk of break-in since only the exposed product can be removed.
- the loading capacity of this dispenser makes it possible to space out filling operations.
- the dispenser comprises a fixed codoir open at its two ends, one of these being accessible to the public while the other is inaccessible to the latter, a movable gate arranged in the corridor to proximity of its publicly accessible end, means for controlling the gate to move it between two extreme positions, a closed position and an open position of said passage, a series of mobile compartments joined together, regularly spaced apart and each containing the product or the determined number of products to be distributed, these compartments being arranged and guided so as to be presented one by one at the open end of the corridor opposite to that presenting the gate, means for moving step by step and in a determined direction the compartments, a step corresponding either to the distance that the compartment located upstream of the compartment must face over the aforementioned end of the corridor to occupy the position of the latter compartment, or to a multiple of this distance , a payment device associated with the gate control means and the means moving the above-mentioned compartments step by step, so that the introduction of at least one coin causes, in order, the opening
- the dispenser comprises means for detecting a foreign body present between the end of the corridor where the gate is located and the aforementioned compartment, these means being associated with the gate control means for delay closing the latter until the foreign body disappears.
- the dispenser comprises means for detecting the product to be dispensed arranged to detect the presence of said product in a determined number of consecutive compartments located directly upstream from the aforementioned corridor by considering the direction of movement of the compartments, these means being associated with a warning device intended to prevent the dispenser compartments must be refilled.
- only the face of the compartments appearing at the end of the aforementioned corridor is open, so that one cannot access, through the corridor and the compartment located at the end of the latter, to the compartments adjacent to the latter compartment.
- the automatic dispenser according to the invention and shown in the drawings is intended to deliver products which cannot be stacked or subjected to pressure, and in particular bakery or pastry products.
- the distributor further comprising means 12 for detecting product to be distributed associated with the payment device 11 to render the latter inoperative when the compartment 8 located opposite the end 5 of the corridor 3 does not contain any product to be distributed.
- the dispenser comprises means 13 for detecting a foreign body present between the end 4 of the corridor where the door 6 and the aforementioned compartment 8 are located, these means 13 being associated with the control means 7 of the door to delay the closing of the latter until the disappearance of the foreign body.
- the gate will only close when the product 9 and the hand holding it have been released from the corridor 3.
- the latter advantageously comprises means 14 for detecting the product to be dispensed arranged to detect the presence of said product in a determined number of consecutive compartments 8 located directly upstream from the aforementioned corridor, considering the direction of movement of the compartments, these means 14 being associated with a sound or light warning device, not shown, intended to warn of when the distributor compartments must be refilled.
- the compartments 8 are advantageously constituted by swings 15, U- shaped, suspended and articulated at 18, by the wings 16 of the U, with two parallel endless chains 17, supported by toothed wheels 19, 19 'and 19 "arranged on shafts 20 whose axes are horizontal, so that the plate 21 of the swings, corresponding to the base of the U and on which the product 9 to be dispensed is deposited, remains in a substantially horizontal position.
- the payment device 11 drives the endless chains 17 step by step, the corridor 3, of square or rectangular section, being horizontal while the strands 23 of the endless chains bringing the swings facing the opening 5 of this corridor are vertical.
- the toothed wheels 19 and 19 are mounted in pairs, on a single shaft 20, 20 “and are braced, in pairs, on these shafts 20 and 2 0" while each of the toothed wheels 19 for reference are mounted idle on the shaft ends 20 so as not to hinder the passage of cradles 15.
- a vertical wall 24 is provided on the side of the swings opposite to the opening 5 of the corridor 3 to form the aforementioned compartment 8, the distance separating the swings and the dimensions of the latter being such that when the platform 21 of a swing is in the extension of one of the horizontal walls 25 of the corridor 3, the platform 21 d an immediately adjacent swing is in line with the other horizontal wall of said corridor 3, the distance separating the wings 16 from the U formed by the swings being substantially equal to the distance separating the vertical walls 26.
- the gate 6 has an area slightly smaller than that of the section of the corridor 3, this gate being articulated along one of the walls 25 of the latter, the articulation being arranged, so that, on the one hand, the gate is located entirely in the corridor 3 whatever the position it occupies and, on the other hand, that said gate folds down, in the open position, substantially parallel to the wall 25 on which it is articulated, the control means 7 of the door 6 comprising a motor 27, known per se, which, when stationary, constitutes a brake preventing the manual operation of the door.
- This motor 27 drives a 2S linkage moving the gate following arrow 29 for its opening.
- the above-mentioned detection means 12, 13 and 14 are each controlled by an infrared radiation probe Sl, S3 and S2.
- the probe S1 of the means for detecting the product to be dispensed present in the compartment 8 located opposite the corridor 3 and the detection probe S3 of a foreign body present in the said corridor are arranged in the latter, while the probe S2 of the means detection of the products housed in the compartments 8 located upstream of the compartment facing the corridor is arranged in the dispenser to detect the presence of the product in one of said compartments located upstream of the compartment facing the corridor 3 and distant from the latter compartment d '' at least three compartments.
- a counter of delivered products is advantageously associated with the distributor.
- the diagram shown in Figure 4 relates to the power distribution of the distributor while the diagrams shown in Figures 5 and 6 relate respectively to the wiring of the step-by-step control of the swings 15 and the wiring of the logic.
- the dispenser operating sequences are as follows:
- this distributor would include, associated with the payment device ; a selector making it possible to determine, in number of steps, the displacement of the compartments which is necessary to bring the compartment 8 containing the desired product opposite the corridor 3.
- the products must be regularly distributed in compartments 8 so that a product is always distant from a product of the same kind by the same number of compartments.
