Definitions

  • the invention is based on an empties return device for receiving empties containers.
  • Empties return devices are also referred to as reverse vending machine. They serve to empty containers, in particular individual bottles or cans and filled with bottles crates or other containers of empties to receive and issue a deposit to the user depending on the characteristics of the entered empty containers. Some empty containers are taken back without issuing a deposit.
  • the characteristic features are also referred to as recognition features.
  • the identification features include, for example, the shape and the material, a barcode or barcode, a DPG or DRS marking, any seal still placed on the bottle, damage and full or partial filling.
  • box-type or barrel-like empty containers are as recognition features, for example, the shape of the empties, a label, the completeness or the number and type of bottles contained in a crate, the bottle, any foreign bottles, transverse or longitudinal bottles, bottles, which with its opening aligned down in the crate, damaged bottles, bottles with or without cap, partially or completely filled bottles, foreign matter between the bottles and any damage to the bottles or crates recorded.
  • at least one sensor is arranged in the empties return device. It is also possible to provide a plurality of sensors for determining various features.
  • a transport device In order to supply an empties container, which is entered by a user into the empties return device, to the at least one sensor, possibly to orientate them relative to the sensor and to transport the empties container further after the detection of the identification feature (s), a transport device is provided. It has, for example, conveyor belts, transport rollers and / or inclined planes.
  • known empties return devices are equipped with a process control which evaluates the signals and / or data of an emptied container determined by the sensors, determines therefrom the value of a deposit, and controls the transport device.
  • the transport device can be driven by the process control until an empties container is aligned relative to a sensor in order, for example, to detect a barcode on the empties container. If, in the evaluation of the data determined by a sensor, it is ascertained that an empties container is not accepted by the empties return device, then the process control ensures that the transport device is driven in order to reissue the empties container to the user.
  • the value of a deposit is determined by the process controller from the data determined by the sensors and the transport device is driven to remove the empties container concerned from the area of the sensor and space for a subsequent empties container create.
  • the transported empties container is fed by the transport device to a collection station. If several collection stations are available, then the empties containers can already be sorted during removal as a function of the identification features determined by the sensors and the process control and fed to a specific collection station.
  • the process control is usually a computer integrated into the device and equipped with special software.
  • process controls are expensive due to the large volume of requirements.
  • An empties return device equipped with such a process control system is therefore associated with high costs, which is why its purchase is not economical for businesses and businesses with low take-back volume, such as gas stations, convenience stores, drugstores, kiosks or canteens.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an empties return device available that can be produced and offered inexpensively, so that their purchase is also economical for smaller businesses and shops.
  • an empties return device with the features of claim 1. It is characterized in that it has no integrated process control device, but is equipped with an interface which serves the exchange of data and signals with an external process control device.
  • the external process control device may be, for example, a computer that is part of a cash register or a cash register system.
  • cash registers or cash register systems are usually present in companies or businesses. They are usually not fully utilized by the upcoming cashier transactions and therefore can take on other tasks as well.
  • To a equipped with a computer base unit of a cash register are connected via interfaces, for example, printer, monitor, cash drawer, card reader or scales.
  • the connection of an empties return device according to the invention takes place via a corresponding interface.
  • the computer is equipped with appropriate software.
  • the empties return device is equipped with sensors for detecting the characteristic features of the empty containers and with a Transport device, which may contain other sensors equipped.
  • the evaluation of the signals or data recorded by the sensors, the determination of a deposit and the control of the transport device are carried out by the external process control device, which is connected via the interface with the empties return device. Since the empties return device has no internal process control device, it can be manufactured and offered much cheaper than known empties return devices. Since the external process control device assumes all the tasks of an integrated process control device, the function of a reverse vending machine according to the invention is identical to the function of known reverse vending machines. Full functionality is guaranteed.
  • An output device outputs the value of the deposit to a user. This may be, for example, a printer that prints a coupon and outputs it to the user. Alternatively or cumulatively, the value of the deposit can also be displayed on a monitor.
  • the interface is a computer interface for exchanging data and / or signals between the empties return device and an external computer, which takes over the tasks of a process control device. It may, for example, be a data interface or a network interface. Examples of network interfaces are standardized interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, Firewire or WLAN interfaces. Non-standardized interfaces can also be used.
  • the empties return device is equipped with a bridge.
  • This has at least two network interfaces for connecting several network segments. It can be a MAC or LLC bridge. However, there may also be a single network interface for data exchange between be sufficient for the reverse vending machine and an external process control device. In this case, no bridge is necessary.
  • the sensor for feature recognition is an optical sensor.
  • the identification features are detected without contact.
  • the optical sensor can be, for example, an optical camera for determining the outer shape of an empties container, an infrared sensor for reading a barcode on an empties container or a transilluminator for determining the material, the color of the glass or a filling level in the empties container. It can also be provided a plurality of optical sensors.
  • the identification features are determined by means of image processing from the data determined by the camera. From the image taken by the optical camera, control criteria for controlling the transport device can also be determined by means of image processing. The evaluation of the identification features and the control criteria is carried out by the external process control device.
  • the empties return device as a sensor for feature recognition on a bar code reading device.
  • the empties return device has a sensor for determining the weight of empty containers.
  • a sensor for determining the weight of empty containers for this purpose, for example, a balance or a pressure sensor can be provided on the transport device.
  • the empties return device to a sensor for detecting security features of empty containers.
  • security features include, for example, the logo of Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH DPG, which is the nationwide uniform Organization of a return system for deposited one-way beverage packaging.
  • the empties return device has a sensor for determining the material of an empty container.
  • a sensor for determining the material of an empty container for this purpose, for example, metal detectors are suitable.
  • the interface is designed such that it allows a data exchange between the reverse vending machine and a cash register or a cash register system.
  • a computer integrated into the cash register or cash register system serves as a process control device.
  • An empties take-back cash register system has an empties return device with interface and a cash register which is equipped with a computer.
  • the computer is designed as a process control device for the empties return device.
