Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-service checkout system for collecting data on merchandise.
  • Various self-service checkout devices are known in which the goods selected by the customer are recorded and paid for by the customer.
  • the customer brings the goods, which are usually stored in a shopping cart, to a goods entry point and leads them to a scanning process in which the barcode on the goods is normally scanned by means of a barcode reader.
  • the goods are identified by scanning the barcode, the goods price and the goods type are determined.
  • the label can also be an RFID chip.
  • the goods are then placed in a shelf, which can also be a further shopping cart or a shopping bag, which is usually coupled to a scale.
  • the scale is a control unit that can be used to compare whether the weight read in matches the weight actually measured and is therefore used to check that the scanning process has been carried out correctly.
  • a very space-saving self-service checkout system has been created by two self-service checkout devices which are connected to a carrier housing. However, since only one cash module is used for both self-service checkout facilities, the cost of the system can be significantly reduced. In a further development of the invention, the two self-service checkout devices are arranged essentially in mirror image to one another, thereby creating a very compact self-service unit.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a self-service checkout system according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of the self-service checkout system from FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic perspective illustration of a safe with a conveying channel
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic perspective illustration of a safe with a robot arm
  • 5 shows a schematic perspective illustration of a coin dispenser.
  • a self-service checkout device 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a self-service checkout system with a self-service checkout device 1, which comprises a carrier housing 2.
  • a self-service checkout device 3 On the outside of the carrier housing 2 there is a goods entry station 3 which is equipped with a barcode reader 4 and / or an RF-ID reader.
  • a scale for the detection of piece goods such as fruit and vegetables can advantageously be integrated in the goods detection station 3.
  • a storage place 5 is advantageously provided for a shopping basket.
  • a conveyor belt can also be provided here, on which the customers place the goods and which transports the goods into the scanning area of the goods detection station 3.
  • a display 4 is provided for displaying goods information such as price, weight, type of goods, etc., the display 6 preferably being located above the goods entry area 3.
  • the display 6 can be designed as a liquid crystal screen and can be provided with a touchscreen function.
  • a goods shelf 7 with holders 8 for bags is provided, into which the goods can be placed.
  • the goods rack also includes a weighing device 9, which is connected to the bag holders 8, so that the weight of the stored goods can be recorded. This is used to check the weight of the scanned goods.
  • a card reader 10 for credit cards and ec cards and a PIN input keyboard 11 are provided for payment processes.
  • the self-service checkout device is equipped with a cash module 14 for payment with banknotes and coins.
  • the cash module 14 preferably contains a banknote input device and a coin entry and exit device for the coins.
  • a banknote dispenser it is also conceivable to equip the cash module 14 with a banknote dispenser.
  • the cash module 14 preferably comprises a safe 15, which is arranged in the carrier housing 2. In the safe 15 there are cassettes for storing the banknotes entered by a banknote input protector 16.
  • the safe be equipped with cash dispensing cassettes or also with combined cash input and cash dispensing cassettes.
  • the safe can be dispensed with if the cassettes themselves are equipped with security features.
  • the coins are inserted into a coin entry slot 17. Any remaining money is returned in a change pocket 18 in the form of coins or money notes.
  • delivery slots 19 are also provided for receiving a receipt printed by a receipt printer.
  • a signal lamp 20 is also provided, which indicates whether the self-service terminal is currently in use or is free. This can be indicated, for example, by using the colors red and green.
  • a data processing device is also accommodated in the carrier housing 2.
  • the customer After the goods have been selected, the customer generally brings the goods collected in a shopping cart to the self-service checkout device 1, takes the goods out of the car and scans them over the goods entry point 3. At the goods entry point 3, a barcode or an RF-I D identification mark is detected. After the goods have been recorded, the customer places the goods in one of the bags held on the bag holder 8, so that the weight of the article can be determined by the weighing device 9. This weighing device 9 is used to protect against theft. If the weight of the items placed on the weighing device 9 does not match the weight of the items detected, a corresponding message is output on the display 6 or acoustically, which informs the customer that the item that has just been deposited is to be grasped again.
  • the customer If the customer has scanned in all the goods and the weight of the goods placed on the weighing device 9 matches the weight that results from the goods registration, the customer presses a key at the end of the process or, in this exemplary embodiment, one on the touchscreen 6 Key shown to signal that all goods are now recorded and thus initiates the payment process.
  • the total price is shown on display 6 and the customer can now pay the bill using a credit card or his ec card or in cash. He takes the receipt from the output slot 19. Change is taken from the change compartment 18.
  • a self-service checkout system consists of two self-service checkout devices 1, which are connected to one another by a common carrier housing 2 and are preferably essentially mirror images of one another.
  • the same components as a goods inspection station 3, a display 6 and a weighing device 9 are arranged on both sides of the carrier housing 2.
  • the operating components of the self-service checkout system are each provided twice, the cash module 14 with a safe 15 and a coin return module 25 is only present in the carrier housing 2.
  • the safe 15, in which the cassettes for storing the banknotes are located, is connected to a conveying channel 21 for conveying money notes into or out of the safe 15.
  • the conveying channel 21 is on the inside with belt transports and not shown here Rollers equipped for the transport of banknotes.
  • the conveyor channel 21 is in the upper loading richly provided with a switch 22 that can be switched between two positions, so that both the notes entered into the right-hand note input slot 16 and the notes entered into the left-side note input slot 116 can be transferred into the conveying channel 21.
  • a robotic arm 23 can also be provided for the mutual input or output of the banknotes, which is provided in the upper area with a pair of pliers or a gripping device 24 and which can operate both a right and a left cash dispenser compartment, for example can.
  • the coin return module 25 comprises various containers 26 which are each filled with coins of one type.
  • the coins are removed from the containers 26 by means of a removal and transport device 27, which is only shown schematically here, and are passed onto a conveyor belt 28. Depending on the selected transport direction, the coins located on the conveyor belt 28 are conveyed to a right and a left coin dispenser 18, 118.
  • journal printer for printing receipts is only available in a simple manner and the printed receipt is transported to a right-hand side or to a left-hand output 19 by means of a switch.
  • the self-service system can have a modular structure, so that the components of the second self-service checkout device such as the goods entry station 3, the display 6, the weighing device 9 and the various input and output components can be connected to the carrier housing 2 of the self-service checkout system or are also easy to dismantle.
  • a suitably designed for the cladding of the rear surface of the carrier housing 2 te rear wall provided. Due to the modular structure and the easy retrofitting, a simple self-service checkout can be easily expanded to a double self-service checkout as required, without the need for high costs.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de caisse en libre-service, conçu de manière plus compacte et plus économique que les dispositifs connus. Deux dispositifs de caisse en libre-service, raccordés à un boîtier support et placés sensiblement en symétrie spéculaire, permettent d'obtenir un système de caisse en libre-service très compact. Etant donné qu'un seul module d'argent liquide est utilisé pour les deux dispositifs de caisse en libre-service, les coûts d'un tel système peuvent être considérablement réduits.
