Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a handling station and a method for automatic handling of unsorted separately supplied standard containers of different types.
  • the present invention further relates to a reverse vending machine with such a transfer station.
  • reverse vending machines for single or returnable bottles, also called reverse vending machines, are very common especially in countries with a one-way and returnable deposit for beverage containers (eg Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Weg, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland).
  • the purpose of the reverse vending machines is to reduce the personnel expenses for empties acceptance. This is desirable, since the empties acceptance for the operator brings a significant effort and thus costs, but no added value.
  • known reverse vending machines however, always a certain amount of personnel, especially for the sorting and / or handling of empties, required.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows such a bottle collection table 100. This has a direction indicated by the arrows arrows slide / conveyor belt, by means of which the bottles are supplied to the bottle collection table A, B, C, D in the direction of the feed device 102 opposite end 104 of the bottle collection table 100 are conveyed.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved handling station for standard containers.
  • the underlying realization of the present invention is that of the reusable bottles fed into reverse vending machines, a main volume of on average about 80% can only be assigned to a few, in particular four, standard bottle types. The remainder, so-called secondary occurrence of on average about 20% of refillable bottles supplied in reverse vending machines, contains either rarer standard bottle types or types of reusable bottles which deviate from the norm.
  • the idea underlying the present invention is now to automatically sort the main volume of standard bottles and to transport them in specific standard containers and provide only for the additional amount of a manual emptying or sorting in specific (special) container crates, z. B. by only the additional amount is collected on a bottle collection table.
  • the main volume is automatically sorted into standard container crates, which greatly reduces the manual effort of sorting.
  • the standard container crates required for the main volume are kept available on a container crate delivery device and a recognized (standard) bottle of the main volume is assigned a free position in a standard crate box intended for its bottle type. The bottle is then automatically moved to this predetermined position by actuation of an actuator.
  • long term Personnel costs are saved to a high degree, whereby corresponding transshipment stations or the corresponding reverse vending machines are made more effective.
  • the displacement device has a positioning unit which can be moved at least in two axes.
  • the mobility in at least two axes ensures a positioning of the actuator so that a predetermined position of a standard container box can be approached.
  • a Normgebindekiste generally has a grid-like division with intermediate walls or intermediate webs, wherein a grid element corresponds to a respective intended for receiving a standard container position. These positions are longitudinal and transverse, so two-dimensionally distributed over the box and accessible from above for setting a standard container open.
  • the displacement device has a rotationally movable positioning unit.
  • the setting unit is a robot or has a robot arm.
  • a transport device is provided according to the invention, which is designed to convey the different standard containers.
  • a standard container can thus be conveyed in a simple manner.
  • the standard container can be transported to the detection unit by means of the transport device and transported further after detection or transported away by the detection unit.
  • a sorting device which is designed to such standard container, for which no Normgebindekisten in the container crate delivery device are held to recognize andschleusen from the transport device.
  • all possible standard containers can thus be handled with the handling station, in particular also such standard containers, for which no standard container crates are provided in the container crate provision device.
  • a collection table is further provided, on which the discharged standard container, for which no Normgebindekisten are kept in the container crate delivery device, collectible.
  • the collection table can be analogous to the in FIG. 1 be formed bottle collection table shown.
  • an additional occurrence of the standard container on the collecting table is advantageous collectable.
  • the flexibility of the handling station is thus increased by means of the sorting device and the collection table, since despite the automated shift of the main volume of the standard container still still the additional amount of standard containers can be handled.
  • the handling station has an automatic, multiple, and in particular five times higher, automatic transit time until the collection table has to be manually emptied.
  • the setting unit is designed to carry out an orientation of the container crate providing device corresponding to the predetermined position.
  • the at least one standard container is then displaceable by the transport device to the predetermined position after the alignment.
  • this may for example be designed as xy-stage.
  • the transport device can be arranged stationary in this case.
  • the setting unit can thus always be positioned in a manner in which an output of the conveying device is located above the position predetermined for the standard container in a standard container box arranged on the xy-stage.
  • the standard container by simply transporting along the transport device output directly from the output to the predetermined position.
  • a rotationally movable adjusting unit this could for example be formed by a rotating rotary table.
  • the transport device includes a slide system, which is designed such that a standard container therein during displacement to the predetermined position at least partially gravity-accelerated slides from a higher level to the predetermined position.
  • Sliding is understood here to mean any gravitationally accelerated movement. This means that both low and high frictional forces can act or even a free fall can be provided at least in sections.
  • the slip also includes an acceleration or deceleration phase.
  • brake elements may be provided at the output of the transport device, which decelerate the gravity-accelerated sliding or falling before entering the Normgebindekiste, so that damage to the standard container and Normgebindekiste be avoided.
  • the standard containers are conveyed by the transport device to the setting unit, wherein the setting unit is adapted to displace at least one standard container to the predetermined position.
  • the standard container crates and the standard container crate delivery device may remain stationary during the process of relocation.
  • the actuating unit is an additional movable module which moves the standard containers directly to their predetermined position.
  • the actuating unit can be movable in more than two axes, preferably in three axes. For example, the actuator removes the standard container from the transport device and moves it directly to the predetermined position in the Normgebindekiste.
  • the sorting device is further adapted to the types of standard containers, for which Normgebindekisten in the container crate delivery device are kept out sorted into individual outlets.
  • the removal can be tuned to this type and so the effectiveness and / or the efficiency of the displacement of the standard container can be increased by the actuator.
  • the adjusting device is designed to remove a plurality of standard containers of one type at least one of the outlets and to shift to a corresponding plurality of predetermined positions within at least one standard container box intended for the respective type of standard container.
  • the adjusting device is further adapted to remove the plurality of standard containers from at least one of the spouts at the same time.
  • the efficiency is increased again.
  • each first one of the plurality of standard containers corresponding number of standard containers are collected in the individual outlets. The plurality of standard containers can then be removed simultaneously from a spout.

  • different types of standard container crates may each be different transverse or longitudinal directions. In the integer multiple is in cases in which there are several, for example, two, juxtaposed similar boxes.
  • the plurality of standard containers corresponds to four standard containers.
  • Four juxtaposed standard containers are particularly advantageous to relocate at the same time, because for four standardized containers four standard containers correspond to the number which can be arranged either transversely or longitudinally within the box.
  • four standard containers also correspond to a favorable number for types of Normgebindekisten in which only two standard containers can be arranged in the transverse direction.
  • Four standard containers then correspond to the number of standard containers, which in the transverse direction fits into two standard containers arranged side by side. In this case, it is thus the integer multiple, here twice, the number of standard containers, which fits next to each other in the transverse direction in this kind Normgebindekiste.
  • the number of four standard containers corresponds to the number that fits in a beer crate in the transverse direction, in a soda crate in the longitudinal direction, and in juice bags in the transverse direction in two juxtaposed boxes.
  • the standard container crates in the container crate delivery device are also arranged accordingly.
  • the orientation of the adjusting device according to the respective Kistenart is changeable, so that it aligns as needed either in the transverse or in the longitudinal direction of the standard container crates standard container transport device of Normgebindekisten.
  • the adjusting device has a gripper system, which is designed to detect the plurality of standard containers for removal from one of the outlets and release them for setting in at least one Normgebindekiste again.
  • the gripper system is further adapted to simultaneously detect the standard container and / or release it again.
  • the transport device has a buffer zone, in which the handling station supplied standard container initially collectable unsorted. If, for example, unexpectedly many standard containers are fed to the handling station in a short time interval, such a tip can advantageously be compensated or collected by means of the buffer zone. Furthermore, by means of the buffer zone, it is also possible to continue supplying bottles to the transfer station, even if one of the stations of the transfer station following in the transport direction is being serviced, emptied or otherwise used. Thus, the operational availability of the handling station is increased or improved.

  • the control device is designed as a computer unit, which has a memory, a communication system and a decision logic.
  • the manner of controlling the setting unit and / or the transport device is dependent on the type of execution of the handling station. If it is, for example, a transfer station, in which the transport device is arranged stationary, first the adjusting unit for aligning driven in accordance with the predetermined position and then driven the transport device for transporting to the predetermined position. If, however, it is, for example, an embodiment in which the transport device first transports the standard container to the setting unit, first the transport device is actuated for transporting and subsequently the setting unit is actuated to move the standard container to the predetermined position.
