Definitions

  • the invention relates to a deposit collection system comprising a devaluation unit for irreversibly destroying input disposable goods. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for monitoring such a deposit-return system.
  • Known deposit return systems which are often referred to as reverse wending machines, include a front unit into which the disposable material is entered. Subsequently, the disposable material is transported via a sorting line to a Kompaktor in which the disposable material is provided via a devaluation unit for irreversible destruction of the input disposable material and to reduce the volume of the disposable material is compacted before the disposable material is then collected in a container. The person who has entered the disposable good will be credited according to the deposit amount.
  • Fraud attempts are known in which the disposable material is intercepted within the sorting path between the front unit and the Kompaktor and fed again to the front unit, which means that the pledge of the disposable good is credited multiple times, since the detection and credit is already on the front unit.
  • sensors are provided on the sorting path, which are intended to detect a removal of disposable material from the sorting path.
  • fraud attempts in which these sensors are manipulated or bypassed.
  • a sound detection unit for detecting the sound produced when the disposable good is destroyed by the cancellation unit.
  • a memory element At least one setpoint value of at least one characteristic size of the sound produced when destroying the disposable good is stored.
  • a control unit compares this stored setpoint value with at least one actual value of this characteristic variable of the sound detected via the sound detection unit via the sound detection unit.
  • At least one further desired value of a further characteristic variable of the sound is stored in the memory element, the control unit also comparing this desired value with at least one actual value of this further characteristic variable of the detected sound determined with the aid of the sound detection.
  • characteristic quantities are, in particular, the amplitude and / or the frequency responses of the sound. These sizes can be easily captured and form a reliable detection of the respective disposable goods.
  • the setpoint values for the characteristic quantities stored in the memory element have been determined experimentally in advance in particular.
  • the disposable product types may be, for example, PET bottles, cans or glass bottles.
  • the deposit-return system includes a sensor for detecting the input disposable good. Through this sensor, the system detects which disposable items have been entered so that the controller can use the appropriate setpoint from the storage element.
  • the sensor is, in particular, the same sensor with which the disposable material is recognized by default in the case of deposit-return systems as it is being input.
  • it may be a barcode reader which reads the barcode applied to the disposable item for removal.
  • the deposit-return system comprises in particular a front unit and a separate Kompaktor in which the devaluation unit is arranged.
  • the front unit and the Kompaktor are connected to each other in particular via a sorting path, wherein the sensor is arranged for detecting the input disposable good in particular in the front unit.
  • a cutting unit is arranged in the compactor, via which the input disposable material is cut and / or compressed. Furthermore, in the compactor in particular a container is provided, via which the compacted and depreciated disposable material is collected.
  • the sound detection unit comprises a microphone, by means of which the sound produced when destroying the input disposable goods is detected.
  • This microphone is arranged in particular in the vicinity of the cancellation unit, in particular in the vicinity of a cutting work, so that the resulting noise can be detected safely and without the influence of environmental factors.
  • the microphone detects as sound the audible noise resulting from the destruction of the disposable material, ie. That is, the microphone works in the human audible range. Alternatively or additionally, the microphone can also work in the non-human audible range, in particular in the ultrasound range. Thus, a particularly secure detection of the sound and a reliable comparison is achieved.
  • sound between 16 Hz and 20 kHz is understood to mean sound audible to the human senses.
  • sound between 20 kHz and 1.6 GHz is understood as ultrasound image.
  • the sound detection unit may also include a structure-borne sound pickup for detecting structure-borne noise arising during the destruction of the disposable material.
  • this structure-borne sound receiver which operates in particular in the ultrasonic range, can reliably detect the destruction of the entered Disposable good can be achieved.
  • the structure-borne sound pick-up detects the structure-borne sound of at least one component of the deposit return system, for example a housing of the deposit return system, in particular of the compactor, the validation unit and / or other components in the vicinity of the devaluation unit, and / or the structure-borne noise of the disposable goods.
  • control unit deactivates the deposit-return system if the comparison of at least one actual value with the associated desired value has resulted in a deviation. This ensures that the fraud attempt is prevented. In particular, the system can only be reactivated by an authorized person so that activation is avoided without notice of the attempted fraud.
  • a deviation of the setpoint value is understood in particular to mean that the actual value is a predetermined minimum percentage or minimum absolute value of setpoint value.
  • the use of such tolerance limits ensures that the system does not attempt to commit fraud even if the deviations are minimal, presumably not attributable to a fraud attempt, and that it is unnecessarily shut down or that the consequences described below are carried out.
  • control unit may be in the presence of a relevant deviation between the actual and the setpoint also issue an error message.
  • error message can be made in particular via a communication unit of the deposit return system by a central monitoring unit, so that the fraud attempt can be easily detected and logged.
  • This central monitoring unit comprises, in particular, a central computer of the company producing and / or operating the deposit-return system.
  • the deposit-return system can also include a display unit, for example a screen, via which the error message is additionally or alternatively displayed.
  • the deposit-return system may include an alarm unit that outputs an audible and / or visual alarm, if the control unit has detected a deviation between at least one actual value and the associated setpoint.
  • an alarm unit that outputs an audible and / or visual alarm, if the control unit has detected a deviation between at least one actual value and the associated setpoint.
  • a loud warning sound can be output and a flashing light can be activated.
  • a further aspect of the invention relates to a method for monitoring a deposit-return system, in which at least one desired value of at least one characteristic variable of the sound resulting from the destruction of disposable material by a devaluation unit for irreversibly destroying input disposable goods is stored in a storage element.
  • a sound detection unit By means of a sound detection unit, the sound produced by the destruction unit when destroying the disposable material is detected. Subsequently, at least one actual value of this characteristic quantity of the detected sound determined with the aid of the sound detection unit is compared with the stored desired value.
  • the method according to the independent method claim can be further developed with the features indicated in the dependent device claims or corresponding method features.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic, perspective view of a deposit system 10 for taking back and Entpfandung disposable goods shown.
  • the deposit-return system 10 includes a front unit 12 that includes an input port 14 for inputting disposable goods 18.
  • the disposable item 18 may be, in particular, plastic bottles and cans.
  • an identification feature such as a bar code is provided, which is detected by the input of the disposable material 18 via a sensor unit 16. With the help of the sensor unit 16 it is determined whether the input disposable goods should be withdrawn, what kind of disposable goods it is and how high is the amount to be credited deposit.
  • the deposit-return system 10 comprises a compactor 20 arranged separately from the front unit 12, in which a devaluation unit 22 is provided, with the aid of which the input disposable item 18 is irreversibly destroyed.
  • a devaluation unit 22 is provided, with the aid of which the input disposable item 18 is irreversibly destroyed.
  • the volume of the disposable material is reduced via a cutting unit and at the same time the security features are destroyed, via which the deposit disposable goods 18 are detected by the sensor unit 16.
  • the disposable goods 18 after passing through the compactor 20 can not be fed to the front unit 12 again.
  • the compacted disposable goods 18 are stored in a container 24 which is emptied regularly.
  • the input via the front unit 12 Einweggut 18 is transported via a sorting line 26 to the Kompaktor 20.
  • a sound detection unit 28 is provided in the vicinity of the devaluation unit 22 in the Kompaktor 20, with the help of the sound generated when destroying the disposable material 18 is recorded.
  • the size and the material of the disposable material 18 arise for each disposable product different typical frequency responses and amplitudes of the Destroying emerging sound. These respective typical frequency responses and amplitudes are specific to each disposable product type so that it can be seen from the sound produced during destruction whether the disposable product 18 added to the front unit 12 has actually been destroyed.
  • a database is stored in a memory element 32, for which setpoint values of the amplitudes and typical frequency responses are stored for each disposable product type.
  • a control unit 30 compares the actual values of the amplitudes and frequency responses that are recorded via the sound generation unit 28 with the associated setpoint values from the database, so that it can be easily recognized whether the disposable material 18 added via the front unit 12 has actually been destroyed.
  • the control unit 30 recognizes the disposable material type of the added disposable material via the sensor 16 so that it can use the corresponding setpoint values from the database for the comparison with the actual value or the determined actual values ascertained via the sound acquisition unit 28.
  • the sound detection unit 28 may be in particular a microphone, which records the resulting during compacting the disposable material 18 noise. Additionally or alternatively, the sound detection unit 28 may also include a structure-borne sound pickup, with the help of which the generated structure-borne noise is detected and compared with the corresponding desired values.
  • control unit 30 If the control unit 30 has determined a relevant deviation between the actual value and the expected setpoint that is so great that it is possible to deduce a fraud attempt, the control unit 30 deactivates the deposit system 10.
  • a relevant deviation is understood in particular to mean that the deviations lie outside of a tolerance range around the desired value.
  • a setpoint range can also be stored in the database, so that a deviation is determined when the actual value lies outside the setpoint range.
  • the deposit system 10 can be reactivated after decommissioning in particular only by authorized persons.
  • an error message can be generated in the presence of a deviation and thus the suspicion of fraud. This can be output for example via a screen 34 of the deposit system 10 and / or sent to a central monitoring unit in a center of the deposit-taking system 10 operating company.
  • an alarm and / or visual alarm is issued via an alarm unit 36, so that other people are alerted and a deterrent effect is exercised, since the persons attempting to commit fraud must fear being immediately recognized.
