Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Dosenspender zur automatischen Abgabe von dosenförmigen Produkten, insbesondere von Getränkedosen, mit einem Gehäuse, in dem eine Förderstrecke ausgebildet ist, entlang welcher dosenförmige Produkte durch Schwerkraft zu einer Entnahmeöffnung des Gehäuses transportiert werden, wobei an der Entnahmeöffnung eine Ausgabeklappe vorgesehen ist, die zwischen einer Schließstellung, in welcher sie eine Entnahme von Produkten durch die Entnahmeöffnung verhindert, und einer Entnahmestellung schwenkend bewegbar ist, wobei die Ausgabeklappe ausgebildet ist, um in ihrer Schließstellung eine Dose aus der Förderstrecke aufzunehmen.The present invention relates to a dispenser for automatic dispensing of can-shaped products, in particular beverage cans, with a housing in which a conveyor line is formed along which can-shaped products are transported by gravity to a removal opening of the housing, wherein at the removal opening an output flap is provided which is pivotally movable between a closed position, in which it prevents removal of products through the removal opening, and a removal position, wherein the discharge flap is designed to receive a can from the conveying path in its closed position.
Dosenspender der vorbezeichneten Art werden insbesondere als Getränkeautomaten eingesetzt und sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt. Die
Die Handhabung des bekannten Dosenspenders wird teilweise als umständlich empfunden. Dies liegt daran, dass sich bei geöffneter Ausgabeklappe die darauf liegende Dose noch teilweise innerhalb des Dosenspenders befindet und somit nur schwierig entnommen werden kann. Auch ist das Einfüllen neuer Dosen in das Gerät aufwändig, da zunächst eine die Einfüllöffnung verschließende Klappe geöffnet und anschließend die Dosen einzeln in den Dosenspender eingelegt werden müssen.The handling of the known Dosenspenders is sometimes perceived as cumbersome. This is due to the fact that when the dispensing door is open, the can lying on it is still partially inside the can dispenser and thus can only be removed with difficulty. Also, the filling of new cans in the device is complex, since first a flap closing the filling opening and then the cans must be individually inserted into the can dispenser.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher, einen Dosenspender der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass er einfach bedient werden kann.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a can dispenser of the type mentioned in such a way that it can be easily operated.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Ausgabeklappe zwei quer zur Förderstrecke liegende muldenförmige Aufnahmen für jeweils eine Dose aufweist und derart ausgebildet und/oder schwenkbar gelagert ist, dass in der Schließstellung eine Dose in die zum Gehäuseinneren hin gelegene erste Aufnahme aus der Förderstrecke transportiert wird, die Entnahme der Dose aus der ersten Aufnahme jedoch verhindert wird, und in der Entnahmestellung die Dose aus der ersten Aufnahme in die zweite Aufnahme rollt, wobei gleichzeitig verhindert wird, dass eine neue Dose aus der Förderstrecke in die erste Aufnahme transportiert wird.This object is inventively achieved in that the output flap has two trough-shaped receptacles lying transversely to the conveying path for each can and is designed and / or pivotally mounted such that in the closed position a can is transported from the conveying path into the first receptacle located towards the interior of the housing However, the removal of the can from the first receptacle is prevented, and in the removal position, the can from the first receptacle in the second recording rolls, while preventing that a new box is transported from the conveyor line in the first recording.
Erfindungsgemäß weist die Ausgabeplatte zwei muldenförmige Aufnahmen auf, nämlich in herkömmlicher Weise eine erste Aufnahme, in welche eine Dose aus der Förderstrecke automatisch hineinrollt, wenn die Ausgabeklappe verschlossen ist, und eine zweite Aufnahme, in welche die Dose rollt, wenn die Entnahmeklappe geöffnet wird. Mit anderen Worten rollt beim Öffnen der Ausgabeklappe eine in der ersten Aufnahme positionierte Dose nach außen in die zweite Aufnahme, so dass sie frei gegriffen und somit einfach entnommen werden kann.According to the invention, the dispensing plate has two trough-shaped receptacles, namely a first receptacle into which a can automatically rolls out of the conveying path when the dispensing flap is closed, and a second receptacle into which the can rolls when the dispensing flap is opened. In other words, when opening the dispensing flap, a can positioned in the first receptacle rolls outward into the second receptacle so that it can be gripped freely and thus easily removed.
In Ausbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass zwischen den beiden muldenförmigen Aufnahmen ein Haltevorsprung vorgesehen ist, der so ausgebildet ist, dass eine Entnahme einer in der ersten Aufnahme liegenden Dose in der Schließstellung der Ausgabeklappe verhindert wird, die Dose aus der ersten Aufnahme jedoch durch Schwerkraft in die zweite Aufnahme überführt wird, wenn die Ausgabeklappe in die Entnahmestellung verschwenkt wird.In an embodiment of the invention, provision is made for a retaining projection to be provided between the two trough-shaped receptacles, which is designed such that removal of a can located in the first receptacle in the closed position of the dispensing flap is prevented, but the can from the first receptacle is prevented by gravity is transferred to the second receptacle when the output flap is pivoted to the removal position.
In an sich bekannter Weise kann vorgesehen sein, dass an dem zum Gehäuseinneren weisenden Endbereich der Ausgabeklappe eine Blockiernase vorgesehen ist, die in der Ausgabestellung der Ausgabeklappe derart in die Förderstrecke hineinragt, dass ein Nachrollen einer Dose aus der Förderstrecke in die erste Aufnahme der Ausgabeklappe verhindert wird.In a manner known per se, provision can be made for a blocking lug to be provided on the end flap of the discharge flap which projects into the delivery path in the delivery position of the delivery flap such that re-rolling of a can from the delivery stretch into the first take-up of the delivery flap is prevented becomes.
Im übrigen kann zweite Aufnahme zweckmäßigerweise derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie in der Ausgabestellung der Ausgabeklappe verhindert wird, dass eine Dose durch Schwerkraft aus der zweiten Aufnahme rollt. Insbesondere kann ein Haltevorsprung an dem vom Gehäuse wegweisenden Randbereich der zweiten Aufnahme ausgebildet sein, welche eine Dose bei geöffneter Ausgabeklappe in der zweiten Aufnahme hält. Dies ist insbesondere bei Ausführungsformen erforderlich, in denen die Ausgabeklappe über die Horizontale hinaus niedergeschwenkt werden muss.Incidentally, second receptacle is expediently designed such that it in the output position of the output flap prevents a can from gravity rolls out of the second shot. In particular, a holding projection may be formed on the edge region of the second receptacle facing away from the housing, which holds a can in the second receptacle when the dispensing flap is open. This is particularly necessary in embodiments in which the output flap must be pivoted down beyond the horizontal.
