Definitions

  • a method for dispensing fluid products provides:
  • the method provides, during the pick-up step from the storage unit, that the container is picked up from a housing compartment, having a main development in the direction of a vertical axis and suitable to house the containers stacked one on top of the other so that the cap of one container located in a lower position supports a lower portion of the container located in an upper position, and oriented in such a way that a central axis of symmetry of the containers extends parallel to the vertical axis of the housing compartment in which they are positioned.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of the outside of a machine for dispensing fluid products according to the present invention
  • - fig. 2 is a perspective view of the internal components of the machine of fig.1 in an assembled configuration in accordance with the present invention
  • - fig. 4 is a perspective view of an enlarged detail of fig. 2;
  • - figs. 5a and 5b are top plan views showing two operative positions of the component shown in fig. 4;
  • - fig. 6 is a schematic perspective view of some internal components of the machine of fig.1.
  • Embodiments described using the attached drawings concern a machine for dispensing fluid products, indicated with reference number 10 in the attached drawings.
  • the machine 10 for dispensing fluid products comprises, inside a support frame 19, at least one storage unit 11 in which a plurality of containers 15 are positioned, which are provided with a removable cap 16, and each pre-filled with a base fluid coloring product.
  • the machine 10 comprises two storage units 11 located one adjacent to the other, between which a waste tank 43 is positioned, intended to receive the containers 15 discarded during the process.
  • the machine 10 comprises two storage units 11, each provided with eight compartments 22, and intended to contain containers 15 pre filled with different base fluid coloring products.
  • one storage unit 11 can be intended to receive a plurality of containers 15 pre-filled with a first type of base fluid coloring product, for example with a“transparent” base, while the other storage unit 11 can be intended to receive a plurality of containers 15 pre-filled with a second type of base fluid coloring product, for example with a “white” base.
  • the two storage units 11 receive containers 15 containing two different types of base fluid coloring products allows the machine 10 to deliver a very wide range of colors or chromatic finishes, compared for example to the case in which the storage unit 11 comprises containers 15 pre filled with only one type of base fluid coloring product.
  • the machine 10 also comprises at least one capping unit 12 configured to remove and apply the cap 16 of the containers 15, and at least one delivery unit 13 suitable to inject another fluid coloring product 18 into at least one of the containers 15.
  • the machine 10 also comprises at least one shaker unit 14 suitable to shake the at least one of the containers 15 as above, in order to mix the fluid coloring products contained therein.
  • the storage unit 11 is provided with housing compartments 22, having a main development in the direction of a vertical axis A1 and suitable to house the containers 15 stacked one on top of the other and oriented so that a central axis of symmetry A2 of the containers 15 extends parallel to the vertical axis A1 of the housing compartment 22 in which they are positioned.
  • This vertical disposition of the containers 15 allows the storage unit 11 to have a main development in the vertical direction, allowing to produce a compact machine 10 with a small plan bulk, therefore suitable to be also positioned in shops with limited spaces.
  • the storage unit 11 comprises a base 27 to which the compartments 22 are constrained, configured to support, resting on it, at least a plurality of first containers 15 disposed at the base of respective stacks, each disposed in a corresponding compartment 22.
  • the mobile wall 30 allows access to the compartment 22, for example in order to replenish the containers 15 after a certain period of use of the machine 10.
  • the size of the walls 28 in the transverse direction is greater than that of the containers 15, in this specific case with respect to their diameter.
  • the walls 28 have a mainly longitudinal development, parallel to the axis A1 of the compartment 22, and are therefore substantially perpendicular to the base 27.
  • One or more slots 32 can be present on the mobile wall 30, which are through and advantageously cover almost the entire longitudinal extension of the mobile wall 30 and allow the display of the containers 15 stacked in the compartments 22.
  • the slots 32 allow to quickly verify whether or not it is necessary to replenish the containers 15 without opening the mobile wall 30, but simply by looking inside them.
  • the containers 15 have an external coloring, or a label identifying their content, this would be immediately visible without opening the mobile wall 30.
  • the storage unit 11 comprises at least one device 35 for the extraction of the container 15 affected by the production of the product selected by the user, and the support element 36 on which the container 15 is positioned by the extraction device 35 to be picked up by the movement means 21.
  • the support element 36 is positioned adjacent to the base 27, and coplanar therewith, suitable to support, at least temporarily, the container 15 thrust out of the compartment 22 by the extraction device 35 in order to be picked up by the movement means 21.
  • the base 27 is configured to rotate with respect to the axis X, perpendicular to the base 27 and to the plate 33, in order to take at least one compartment 22 at a time from the stand-by position to the pick-up position.
  • the rotation of the base 27 is performed by a motor 39, positioned below the base 27, and by a series of toothed gears, indicated overall with 20, which operatively connect the motor 39 to the base 27.
  • any electromechanical drive whatsoever of a type known in the state of the art, which allows the rotation of the base 27.
  • the capping unit 12 is attached to the support frame 19 and comprises a cap-tightening clamp 40 configured to hold and rotate the cap 16 of the container 15, in order to remove it and apply it respectively after the container 15 has been picked up from the storage unit 11, and after the container 15 has been filled with the other fluid coloring product 18 in the delivery unit 13.
  • capping unit 12 has been described that is suitable to remove, and apply, a“screw” type cap 16 from/to the container 15, but it is evident that - with the appropriate structural and functional adaptations within the scope of a person of skill in the art - the capping unit 12 is able to also remove and apply caps 16 of different types, for example pressure caps.
  • the movement means 21 carry out the positioning of the container 15 in correspondence with the shaker unit 14.
