Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a recycling station and an automated recycling system for collecting consumer packaging such as bottles, cans, boxes bottle cradles and more. More particularly the present invention relates to a recycling station of the kind where cans and bottles are received in packaging receptacles in the form of bags and optionally also in bottle cradles, and where the content of the packaging receptacles are sorted and processed in a location different than the recycling station.
  • Such return vending machines are often configured to receive one bottle or can at a time.
  • reverse vending machines where a user may return a batch of cans or bottles packed in a packaging receptacle, such as a back (or sack) or in e.g. a bottle crates.
  • a packaging receptacle such as a back (or sack) or in e.g. a bottle crates.
  • Some prior art reverse vending machines allows both the return of individual bottles or cans and bottle crates.
  • Such bottle crates are typically standard crates with individual compartments, each for holding a bottle of an exact type or size of bottle.
  • Reverse vending machines are often placed at narrow passageways at a supermarket, why a queue of people trying to hand in their deposit cans or bottles forms quickly. Therefore large automated systems for collecting cans and bottles in bags and crates in large quantities have been developed. Such a systems where the cans and/or bottles placed in bags may be received via a user interface in the reverse vending machine, and place the bags with bottles and cans in a collecting container adapted for transport of the bags to a regeneration or destruction facility is known from EP2319777 .
  • This reverse vending machine is intended for location in a central place e.g. at a car park, and preferably a car park near to a shopping centre, larger consumer goods store or the like.
  • a user delivers a number of deposit cans or bottles to a collecting container and when handing in the deposit cans or bottles, they are placed in bags or boxes, which bags or boxes are marked by a marking unit in such a way that each bag or box through the marking can be attached to information on the user, by applying a unique code, image or identification chip or tag to a bag or box for deposit cans or bottles, where the user information is derived from an identification card, a credit card or a debit card.
  • the bags or boxes are then placed in a collection container, which is transported to another facility where the cans and bottles contained therein are sorted, and the number and type are recorded. Based on the number of bottles and cans the accumulated deposit may be returned to the user, e.g. electronically transferred to the account of the user who delivered the bottles and cans to the reverse vending machine.
  • a problem with this type of reverse vending machines is that the logistics of transporting collection containers between the reverse vending machines and the sorting and processing facility, requires scheduled replacement of the collection containers in such a way, that it is often necessary to transport only partly filled collection containers, thus increasing costs and the environmental impact of recycling the cans and bottles. It is also a problem that if the storage capacity of the reverse vending machine is reached before the collection container is replaced, the reverse vending machine may need to be closed.
  • a recycling station comprising a deposit unit for receiving packaging receptacles, a handling unit for distributing packaging receptacles received in the deposit unit to a batch collector, and a grabbing unit for transferring packaging receptacles to a collecting container, wherein the recycling station is provided with a buffer storage for storing packaging receptacle, the grabbing unit being adapted may transferring packaging receptacles selectively to a collecting container and the buffer storage.
  • the recycling station further comprises a housing, the buffer storage being provided in said housing, and the buffer storage comprising a shelve system.
  • the shelve system has at least two shelves arranged one above the other, and wherein at least the upper shelve is pivotally mounted in the housing to allow two positions of the pivotally mounted shelve, and to allow easy access to a shelve below the pivotally mounted shelve.
  • the shelve system has at least two shelves arranged one above the other, and where a lower shelve is wider than an upper shelve.
  • the handling unit is adapted for collecting packaging receptacles in batches
  • the grapping unit is adapted for transferring the packaging receptacles in the batches collected by the handling unit.
  • the handling unit comprises a conveyor extending from the deposit unit to the batch collector, an end stop arranged at an end of the conveyor opposite from the deposit unit.

  • the deposit unit is provided with sensor means allowing a controller connected with the sensor means to distinguish between types of packaging receptacles, and the controller is adapted to control the handling unit such that a first type of packaging receptacles is transferred to the batch collector and a second type of packaging receptacles is transferred to a second storage.
  • the buffer storage is arranged above the second storage.
  • the second storage comprises at least on roller lane, sloping downward away from the deposit unit.
  • the first type of packaging receptacles comprises bags
  • the second type of packaging receptacles comprises bottle cradles.
  • a controller is associated with the recycling station and adapted for controlling the grabbing unit, and the controller is adapted to load packaging receptacles to a lower shelve and fill this shelve with packaging receptacles before loading packaging receptacles on an upper shelve.

If the packaging receptacles 70 are bags, an RFID tag (or similar) of each bag is recorded, along with the weight of the bag and a picture of the bag. The data is stored for use in the further processing of the packaging receptacle 70. In the case where the packaging receptacles 70 are standard bottle crates, the weight of each box and a picture of each bottle crate is recorded and stored for the subsequent processing.
  • the recycling station may further be adapted for receiving return of bottles in other receptacles than bags and standard bottle crates.
  • Such receptacles may for instance be cardboard boxes.
  • Such irregular receptacles may in one embodiment be transferred to the crate storage, where they can be subsequently handled by service personnel.
  • filled cardboard boxes may be handled in the first storage, much in the same way as when the receptacles are bags.
  • the recycling station may further be adapted to estimate the size of each bag or cardboard box handed in at the inlet. This may be done by suitable sensors, or by a camera connected to the controller and suitable image analysis program. Such a camera may be the same camera that records images of the handed receptacles for documentation and identification, or it may be an additional camera.
  • the size estimation sensors or cameras may be located at the inlet or they may be located near or overlooking the conveyor 31.
  • the packaging receptacles After depositing and control of the deposited packaging receptacles 70, the packaging receptacles are transferred to a conveyor belt 31 of a handling section 30, the packaging receptacles 70 are transported from the deposit unit 20 and into the recycling station 1.
  • the deposited packaging receptacles 70 are treated in two different ways depending on the packaging receptacle 70 being a bag 70' or a bottle crate 70". Bags are transported on the conveyor 31 to an end stop 32, thereof. The end stop 32 is arranged at an end of the conveyer 31 facing away from the deposit unit 20 and the front wall 11, such that the bags 70' may be collected in batches of bags. A preferred batch of bags could for example be four to six pieces, depending on the content of the bags. Thereby, if a user deposits bags 70' which are not fully filled, more bags can enter into a batch. Thereby, storage space and the number of further transports of batches by the grabbing unit 40 may be reduced. The batches of bags are subsequently moved either to a collecting container 60 or to a buffer storage 80 by a grabber 41, for further details see below.
  • Arranging the bags in batches improves the utilization of the capacity (number of bags per time unit) of the grabber 41, since it may be operated only when its full load capacity is present on the conveyor belt 31.
