Description

DESCRIPTION

Distribution device

The invention relates to a distribution device for unpackaged products, in particular bakery products, such as bread, rolls or the like.

Such distribution devices, especially for cooking products, are already known from the prior art and are used, for example, in the retail market to enable self-service consumption of bakery products.

Through these distribution devices bakery products can be presented to the customer and he can take the product himself according to his option.

In this case, the distribution devices must meet strict hygiene specifications, since unpackaged products are sold. The requirements pertain, for example, to guarantee protection against sputum and sneezes, to protect the unpackaged product stored against contamination.

In addition, it is necessary that the distribution device can be cleaned in a simple, fast and reliable manner. A bread distribution device is already known from EP 2554078 A1, which has an extraction module that can be decomposed without tools. This should especially serve to facilitate cleaning of the distribution device.

EP 2248448 A1 describes a distribution device, which presents for the prevention of the return of already sectioned bakery products, a separation device consisting of locking clamps with different lengths. The locking clamps are arranged in this case between the reserve zone and the extraction zone and allow only a transfer of bakery products from the reserve zone to the extraction zone.

From DE 20 2007 009 953 U1 a product container for the self-service extraction of bakery products is known. In this case, this product container has on the front side a product support configured as a drawer for the extraction of products. This product holder can be fixed in the position of use in a rack by means of a lock and can be removed after the corresponding unlocking, for example, for cleaning or filling from the rack.

In addition, documents DE 102014110636 B3 as well as DE 9204232 U1 and DE 202005008141 U1 publish a distribution device, which is equipped with a collector channel.

In document DE 92 04 232 U1 a product transport ramp ends as an extension directly in a product reception channel, which is extended by means of a device arranged under the channel and mobile for the individual transfer of products.

Document DE 202005008 141 U1 further describes three different solutions of a collecting device, which are arranged in each case at the bottom of the container- The collecting device can be made in the form of a mobile arranged trapdoor, of a rotating cylindrical collecting channel and provided with a hole or similar to a removable drawer.

Document DE 20 2014 000 100 U1 publishes a product distribution unit for the self-service extraction of bread, rolls or the like, which presents several product extraction trays with pivoting doors outwards. The doors can be braked in this case with a damping element.

Document DE 10 2004 013 194 A1 publishes a product distribution container for cigarette containers, which has a roller rack guided in guide rails and which can be opened and closed by displacement, by means of which the access to products in the product distribution container.

Document DE 102011 011 580 B3 publishes a distribution device for the self-service extraction of bakery products, which presents an extraction container with a front extraction hole. The extraction hole can be closed with a hatch, which is pivotable around a horizontal support axis, where this construction, however, presents a need for comparatively large space for the movement of the hatch.

EP 1985209 A1 and DE 202009006755 U1 publish a container of products for extraction self-service with a closing hatch and hygiene insurance combined.

Document US 1115345 A publishes that the combined swing-and-turn movement of a door is defined by a first guide recess and a second guide recess and by the corresponding guide pivots that collaborate with them.

The purpose of the present invention is to develop a distribution device for unpackaged products, in particular bakery products such as bread, rolls or the like in an advantageous manner, in particular for the purpose of making the extraction zone possible, on the one hand, a simple and attractive extraction of the product and, on the other hand, it can be decomposed in a simple and uncomplicated way, for example for cleaning and / or maintenance purposes without specialized assembly personnel, but also, for example, by comparatively non-personnel instructed

This task is solved according to the invention by means of a distribution device with the characteristics of claim 1.

The invention is based on the general idea that the door of the distribution device can be inserted, in part, into the product accommodation space and this with an intuitive and natural movement for the user. In a first position, the door must essentially completely close the product accommodation space and the hole, which allows access to the product accommodation space. In the at least a second position the door must be open and, in particular, in such a way that it is partially lowered in the product accommodation space. The door is then in this second open position, with respect to the mounted and installed state of the distribution device in the upper area of the hole and is also projected beyond the hole forward. In this way a protection against sputum and sneezing is carried out because the door prevents an action of comes from above on the products that are in the product accommodation space. Through the combined tilting and rotating movement followed by an essentially horizontal insertion movement an intuitive and natural movement of lowering of the door is performed, since the user would like to take the door, which is in the open position in the upper area of the hole, up and will pull, for example, the door handle, to open the door. Through the oscillating swinging movement of the door, the upper edge of the door is swung inside the product accommodation space, so that the door already has the correct alignment for movement to the second position. For a movement to the second position, the insertion movement, which extends inclined upwards with respect to the installed and mounted state of the distribution device, is still necessary. This type of movement curve has the advantage that the door always moves within the product distribution space and, therefore, there is no increased need for space. This is advantageous especially when several product distribution spaces are present in the support frame.

Otherwise, it may be provided that the first guide recess has a curved section, which describes a curve with constant curvature. In this way it is achieved that during the opening movement of the door, it can be turned inwards inside the product distribution space.

In addition, it is possible that the first guide recess has a straight section, which is connected in the curved section. This straight section is especially used to perform an insertion movement of the door that extends essentially inclined upwards.

In particular, it may be provided that in the installed and mounted state of the distribution device the curved section of the first guide recess begins in the area of the hole and that its beginning has the lowest point of the guide recess and the straight section present the highest point of the guide recess, which is the point of the first guide recess that is furthest from the hole. Through this configuration or forming the first guide recess, the opening movement of the door is guided through a guide pivot guide out of the hole inwards. In addition, the guide pivot moves upwards, so that through the configuration of the first guide recess the size of the open portion of the hole is also defined, through which the user can access the distribution space of products. In addition, it may be provided that in the installed and mounted state of the distribution device, the first guide recess is arranged below the second guide recess. This configuration facilitates the movement to be made through the door during opening. In this way, it is achieved, among other things, that the lower part of the door is essentially rotated by virtue of the configuration of the first guide recess.

Furthermore, it may be provided that the second guide recess describes a development of the curve, in which the guided guide pivot in the second guide recess can be guided in the assembled and installed state of the distribution device in the opening of the door in a first section first from a higher position in the area of the opening to a lower position and in a second section essentially horizontal with respect to a point that is remote from the opening. Through this configuration of the second recess The pivoting movement of the door is essentially defined as a guide. Through the tilting movement of the door, the door can be tilted inwards into the product distribution space, so that the door has no need for space for the upward opening movement, but can perform its movement entirely within the respective product distribution space.

In particular, it may be provided that the first section describes a valley type curve and the second section describes a horizontal curve. Through the configuration of the valley type of the first section of the second guide recess, the upper edge of the door can be tilted in the first place downwards, whereby the upper edge of the door can be guided into the respective space of product distribution. The horizontal curve serves in context with the corresponding section of the first guide recess for the insertion movement which extends essentially inclined upwards.

In addition, it may be provided that the tray type housing is retained in a tray holder. This enables a simple removal or removal of the tray type housing from the distribution device. This may be necessary, for example, when the tray type housing must be cleaned. Furthermore, it is possible that through the tray support a simple adjustment of the position of the tray type housing is possible, for example through corresponding adjustment possibilities of the tray support. This allows the adjustment functionality to be separated from the tray type housing itself, that is, the tray type housing itself can be comparatively configured. In particular, it is conceivable that the tray type housing is a plastic tray.

In particular, it can be provided that the tray support is rotatable around a pivot point, where the pivot point is positioned with respect to the mounted and installed state of the distribution device in the lower area of the hole. In this way a possibility of simple adjustment is achieved and it is possible to fill the tray type housing, which is inserted in the tray holder. from the back side. To this end, a possibility of rotation in the lower front area of the hole is especially advantageous because in this way the tray type housing is rotated, for example for rear filling to a filling position, in which it is placed towards below and, in particular, in such a way that the filled products can be easily inserted into the tray type housing and in particular such that the filled products can be easily inserted into the tray type housing, without them slipping at the same time by virtue of the force of gravity and a possible inclined plane in the area of the hole. In the sales position, the tray support and, therefore, the tray type housing inserted in the tray support can be moved on the rear side upwards, so that an inclined plane and, therefore, results , the products inserted in the tray type housing slide into the hole area.

In particular, it may be provided that the tray type housing for the products is rotatable with the tray holder, such that with respect to the mounted and installed state of the distribution device, the leading edge of the tray type housing It is in any rotating position in the correct position with respect to the hole. This can be achieved, for example, because the area of the most forward edge of the tray-type housing has a structure that has, at least partially, a cross-section, which extends round circular around the axis of rotation. Such configuration prevents relative movements of the tray type housing and the tray support with respect to the distribution device, In this way, interstices in the hole area can be avoided, which is advantageous with respect to the hygiene to be maintained, put that, for example, crumbs cannot fall through these interstices.

In accordance with the invention, at least one damping element is provided, by means of which the movement of the door can be stopped. Through the preparation of a damping element, the closing movement of the door can be slowed down. In this way, the stability of the door and also the ease of operation of the distribution device can be increased.

The shock absorber element may be a gas spring, in particular a pneumatic spring. Such gas springs or pneumatic springs can be adjusted well with respect to their damping property and can be obtained, for example, also in a configuration, which allows only in one direction a damping movement or damping function. This is especially convenient when the door opening movement must not be stopped, but the door closing movement must be stopped or dampened through the damping element.

In particular, it can be provided that the damping element is connected with at least one guide pivot, in particular with the guide pivot, which is guided in the first guide recess. In this way, a direct and well adjustable damping action of the door movement can be selectively enabled with simple construction means.

Otherwise, it is provided that the tray support is guided in a guide recess of the tray support on the rear side. In this way, it can be defined and adjusted in a simple and safe way, with an expense of comparatively reduced construction, the possibility of desired movement of the tray support and, therefore, of the tray type housing.

Moreover, it may be provided that with respect to the mounted and installed state of the distribution device, the upper end of the guide recess of the tray support defines a sales position and the lower end of the guide recess of the tray support define a filling position and / or sales position for the tray type housing. In this way, the filling and also the normal sale operation of the distribution device can be configured in a particularly favorable manner.

The tray type housing can have a middle section and two end sections, where the end sections are rounded and the middle section is essentially straight. In this way an easy to clean configuration of the tray type housing is achieved. In addition, this configuration of the tray type housing makes it possible that in the purchase position of the tray type housing, the products introduced into the tray type housing slide in the direction of the hole and thus can be easily removed by the user of the distribution device outside the distribution device.

Figure 21 shows another front view on the drawer type insert of the distribution device according to Figure 4 with housing of the type of tray inserted.

Figure 1 shows a front view of an exemplary embodiment of a distribution device 10 according to the invention for unpackaged products, in particular bakery products such as bread, rolls or the like. The distribution device 10 has a support frame 12. Several inserts 14 of the drawer type are provided on the support frame 12, where in the exemplary embodiment shown in figure 1 four inserts 14 of the drawer type are superimposed .

The inserts 14 of the drawer type are configured in each case of the same type of construction.

Each insert 14 of the drawer type has three product housing spaces 16 arranged adjacent to each other.

Also, each product accommodation space 16 according to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is identical.

In each product accommodation space 16 there is a housing 18 of the tray type for housing the products for sale. This housing 18 of the tray type can be configured, for example, by a plastic tray, which can be made of plastic suitable or safe for food products.

As can be deduced, in addition, from Figure 1, each housing 18 of the tray type has longitudinal ribs 20, which facilitate a product slip.

To remove the product outside the product accommodation space 16, a front hole 22 is provided. Through this hole 22 the product accommodation space 16 and the housing 18 of the tray type can be accessed.

The front hole 22 can be closed by means of a door 24.

The door 24 has a door handle 26, by means of which the door 24 can be opened, so that the product accommodation space can be accessed.

The door handle 26 is arranged in this case, with respect to the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10, in the lower middle area of the door 24.

In door 24 it is a door made of a transparent material. In this case, it can be, for example, a glass door or a transparent plastic door. In the upper area, the door 24 is curved to avoid a collision with the support frame 12 or possible reflections, for example, through the market lighting arranged above the distribution device 10.

Figure 2 also shows a perspective view on the distribution device 10 according to Figure 1. As can be deduced from Figure 2, each door 24 presents with respect to the assembled and installed state of the distribution device in its upper area a door guide 28, which is also arranged with respect to the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10 in the upper area of the hole 22.

From figure 3, which shows a side view on the distribution device 10 according to figure 1, it follows that the door 24 has on both sides, respectively, two guide pivots 30, which are guided in the guides of the door 28 arranged on both sides (see also for that purpose also Figure 4, which shows a perspective view on the insert 14 of the drawer type of the distribution device 10 according to figure 1).

The door guide 28 has a first guide recess 32 and a second guide recess 34.

Figures 5 to 7 show other perspective views on the insert 14 of the drawer type of the distribution device 10 according to Figure 4.

Other details of the configuration of the first guide recess 32 and the second guide recess 34 can be recognized from Figures 8 to 11, which show side views on the insert 14 of the drawer type of the distribution device 10. As can be recognized especially from Figure 8, in the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10, the first guide recess 32 is arranged below the second guide recess 34.

As can be deduced, in addition, from Figure 8, the first guide recess 32 has a curve section 36, which describes a curve with a constant curvature. This curve points from the hole 22 towards the rear of the distribution device 10.

Otherwise, the first guide recess 32 has a straight section 38, which is connected in the curve section 36.

In the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10, the curve section 36 of the first guide recess 32 begins in the area of the hole 22. The curve section 36 presents the deepest point of the guide recess 32 (with with respect to the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10), instead the straight section 38, which extends inclined upwards, has the highest point of the guide recess 32, which is at the same time the point of the first recess of guide 32, which is furthest from the hole 22. Here the guide recess 22 also has a mounting extension 40, on which the guide pivot 30 of the door 24 can be inserted.

The second guide recess 34 describes a development of curves, in which the guide pivot 30 of the door 24, guided in the second guide recess 34, in the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10 during the opening of the Door 24 in a first section 41 is first transferred from a higher position 42 in the area of the hole 22 to a lower position 44 and in a second section 46 it can be guided essentially horizontally to a point away from the hole 22. Here also the second guide recess 34 has a mounting widening 48, on which the guide pivot 30 of the door 24 can be inserted into the mounting recess 34.

As can also be deduced from FIG. 8, a damping element 50 is articulated in the guide pivot 30 guided in the first guide recess 32.

In this case, the damping element 50 is rotatably articulated with a first articulation point 52 in the lower area of the insert 14 of the drawer type as well as in the area of the hole 22. The second articulation point 54 is articulated in the guide pivot 30 of the door 24.

The damping element 50 is configured in the exemplary embodiment shown as a gas spring, even here as an air spring. By means of the damping element 50, the movements of the door 24 can be stopped. In this case, the air spring is configured in such a way that the closing movement of the door 24 is stopped and in particular through the insertion of the piston 56 of the damping element 50.

The damping element 50 is configured in the exemplary embodiment shown as a gas spring, even here as a pneumatic spring. By means of the damping element 50, the movements of the door 24 can be stopped. In this case, the pneumatic spring is configured in such a way that the closing movement of the door 24 is stopped and in particular through the insertion of the piston 56 of the damping element 50.

Figure 12 and Figure 13 show, respectively, a perspective view on the mechanics of the door 24 of the insert 14 of the drawer type of the distribution device 10.

As can be deduced from Figure 12 and Figure 13, a damping element 50 is provided for each door 24. At the same time, each door 24 has a guide pivot on both sides.

On both sides of the door 24, a door guide 28 is provided in each case.

Figures 14 to 17 show a perspective view on the insert 15 of the drawer type of the device distribution 10 with three housings 18 of the tray type inserted.

Each housing 18 of the tray type is retained by a tray support 58.

In this case, a common tray holder 58 is provided for the three housings 18 of the tray type. A pivot point 60 is provided in the front area of the insert 14 of the drawer type, around which the tray support 58 is rotatable.

The pivot point 60 is positioned with respect to the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10 in the lower area of the hole 22.

The tray support 58, which has a bar 62 in the rear area, which extends over the entire width of the drawer type insert 14, is guided in the rear guide housings of the tray support 63 which are arranged on both sides. the insert 14 of the drawer type in its rear area.

Moreover, a damping element of the tray support 66 is provided, which is articulated in a guide pivot of the tray support 58 with a turning point as well as with another turning point in the housing of the insert 14 of the type of drawer.

Figures 18 to 21 show side views on the insert 14 of the drawer type of the distribution device 10 according to Figure 4 with housing 18 of the type of tray inserted.

As can be deduced from these figures, with respect to the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10, the upper end of the guide recess of the tray holder 64 is provided for a sales position and the lower end of the recess of guide of the tray support 64 is provided for a filling position and / or selling position of the housing 18 of the tray type.

The housing 18 of the tray type has a middle section 68 and two end sections 70, wherein the end sections 70 are rounded and the middle section 68 is configured essentially straight.

The functions of the distribution device 10 can be described as follows: Through the configuration of the door 24, the door guide 28 and the damping element 50 an unbraked opening movement of the door 24 is performed and a braking closing movement of the door 24 (see especially Figures 5 to 7 as well as Figures 9 to 11.

The guide pivots 30 of the door 24 are guided by means of the guides of the door 28 such that each door 24 can be lowered, at least partially, inside the product accommodation space 16 by means of a movement swivel-tilt combined by an insertion movement that extends essentially inclined upwardly with respect to the assembled and installed state of the distribution device 10. The combined swivel-tilt movement is defined by the first curve section 36 and the first section 41 of the first guide recess 32 or the second guide recess 34.

The insertion movement, which extends inclined upwards, results through the configuration of the straight section 38 of the first guide recess 32 or of the second section 46 of the second guide recess 34. As can be deduced, furthermore, especially from figures 14 to 21, the housing 18 of the tray type can take several positions.

Thus, Figure 14 shows the housings 18 of the tray type in a sales position.

The housing 18 of the tray type can be rotated around the pivot point 60 in such a way that the leading edge of the housing 18 of the tray type is in each rotation position in the correct position with respect to the hole 22.

The tray support 58 can be transferred through an intermediate position, as shown in Figure 15, to a filling position, as shown in Figure 16. The corresponding movement is correspondingly indicated in Figures 17 a 21. Figure 18 shows the sales position in the side view, figure 19 shows the intermediate position and figure 20 shows the filling position of housing 18 of the tray type.
