Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for detecting goods with a two successively arranged conveyor belts having transport means for transporting the goods in a transport direction, wherein between the conveyor belts is formed extending transversely to the transport direction slot, and with a scanning unit for non-contact optical scanning of a support surface the transported goods on the transport device through the slot.
  • Such a device is known from DE 101 41 429 C1 known.
  • the device is used, for example, in self-service checkout systems in shopping centers or the like and serves for the automated detection of goods, in particular the detection of a goods-identifying marking (barcode or the like) by means of an optical scanning unit.
  • the optical scanning unit is arranged between two conveyor belts arranged one behind the other in a transport direction.
  • the conveyor belts are in this case positioned at a distance from one another such that between them a slit extending transversely to the transport direction is formed, through which the scanning unit has a support side of the goods, with which the goods are transported on the conveyor belts, when passing from the rear as seen in the transport direction Transport belt optically scanned on the front transport belt seen in the transport direction.
  • the remaining outside of the product for example, by means of further scanning units optically recorded, so that the goods can be safely and reliably identified regardless of their orientation on the conveyor belts.
  • the further scanning units can be fastened, for example, to a support arranged in the form of an archway above the conveyor belts to form a so-called tunnel scanner.
  • the scanning unit associated with the slot is assigned to the conveyor belts as well as the other scanning units, which may optionally be provided in a stationary manner.
  • the scanning unit typically includes a source for emitting optical radiation and a detector for receiving the radiation reflected from the goods being transported on the conveyor belts.
  • the radiation is light in the visible or ultra-red wavelength range.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to develop the device such that the reliability is increased and damage to the goods is prevented.
  • the device according to the invention in conjunction with the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the slot at least partially is covered by a protective rail, which extends transversely to the transport direction and is arranged at a distance from the conveyor belts.
  • the particular advantage of the invention is that goods are handed over due to the provision of the trained between the conveyor belts partially covering guard rail particularly reliable from the one conveyor belt to the other conveyor belt.
  • the protective rail prevents this case that the goods fall into the slot and also serves as a support or support for the goods in the vertical direction.
  • the protective rail covers a large part of the slot, so that only one functionally necessary for the optical scanning of the goods, narrow gap and / or on both sides of the guard rail is formed a function gap between the guard rail and the moving conveyor belts.
  • the functional gap ensures that there is no contact between the conveyor belts and the protective rail and, as a result, no damage to the conveyor belts or the protective rail.
  • the conveyor belts are configured for example as endless conveyor belts, wherein the goods are transported on the upper run of the endless conveyor belts in the transport direction.
  • the support side of the goods is scanned by means of the scanning unit.
  • the gap between the Both conveyor belts are covered by a single protective rail.
  • the recess, which in this case defines the scanning gap can for example be provided centrally both in the protective rail and in the middle between the two conveyor belts. This ensures that in the central slot of the scanning unit in the slot, the support side can be scanned at a favorable scanning angle.
  • the scanning is done at a 90 ° angle to the support side of the goods.
  • the protective rail is movable, in particular held about a longitudinal direction of the guard rail pivotally with respect to the conveyor belts.
  • the protective rail is raised when entering goods in the slot, that is removed from the conveyor belts.
  • the entering into the slot goods themselves can hereby raise the guard rail.
  • the movable arrangement of the guard rail damage to the goods or their packaging is prevented even if the goods get in the transfer of the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt in the Abtastspalt or one of the two function columns. This may for example be the case when very flat objects, such as newspapers or individual sheets of magazines, are conveyed on the conveyor belt.
  • the protective rail is assigned at least one sensor for detecting goods that enter the slot formed between the conveyor belts.
  • the entry of goods into the slot can be detected automatically.
  • This is for example Self-service checkout systems, which are not operated by trained personnel and essentially detect the goods placed on the conveyor belt by the customer, are of great advantage.
  • the guard rail can be assigned to a force sensor which detects an increase in force, the result of the entry of goods into the scanning gap or a function column.
  • the movable guard rail can be assigned a motion sensor.
  • a control unit cooperating with at least one sensor and with a drive unit driving the conveyor belts is provided.
  • the conveyor belts can be stopped when goods enter the slot.
  • the conveyor belts can on the one hand further damage of goods or their packaging, which protrude at least partially into the slot, be prevented.
  • the possibility is created during the stoppage of the conveyor belts to remove the goods in the slot goods from the same.
  • the conveyor belts are arranged offset in height to one another, wherein the front transport belt seen in the transport direction is arranged below the rear transport belt seen in the transport direction.
  • a surface of the protective rail is arranged inclined to connect the bearing surfaces of the conveyor belts in the region of the slot. It is advantageous by the inclined arrangement of the protective rail and the height offset the conveyor belts simplifies the transfer of the goods from the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt.
  • the protective rail acts in the manner of a slide.
  • a transport speed of the conveyor belts can be selected so that the goods "shoot" in particular over the functional gap formed between the first conveyor belt and the protective rail. This reduces the risk of goods getting into this functional gap.
  • the conveyor belts, the protective rail and the protective rail or the slot covered by the protective rail associated scanning unit are attached to a common carrier component.
  • a common carrier component ensures a precise positional assignment of the individual functional components (conveyor belts, protective rail, scanning unit) to one another, with the result that the goods can be optically scanned and identified in a particularly reliable and secure manner.
  • adjusting means can be provided on the carrier component or the functional components in order to precisely set and fix the positioning of the functional components relative to one another during assembly and commissioning of the system.
  • adjustment means for example, slots can be provided in the support member.
  • further functional components of the device for example the further scanning units, by means of which the further outer sides of the goods are optically scanned, can be fastened to the carrier component.
  • these are positioned in their position and relative position to the scanning unit associated with the slot, to the conveyor belts and to the protective rail.
  • FIG. 1 has a transport device 1 for transporting goods in a transport direction 2 and a scanning unit 3 for non-contact optical scanning of a support side of the goods transported on the transport device 1.
  • the transport device 1 has two transport belts 4, 5 arranged one behind the other in the transport direction 2, which conveyor belts are arranged at a distance from one another in the transport direction 2. Due to the spaced arrangement of the conveyor belts 4, 5, a transversely to the transport direction 2 extending slot 6 is formed between the conveyor belts 4, 5.
