Abstract

Arrangement for the collection of returnable objects (9) that have at least one readable identification code, comprises: a return area (1) for the input and positioning of the returnable objects; a reading unit (2) for checking the object; a transport arrangement (3) that interacts with the reading unit; and a blocking element (4) with which objects that are positively identified are transported through the reader unit.

Description

The present invention relates to an arrangement for the Withdrawal of a deposit that can be proven Objects and / or associated with a loan system Objects according to the preamble of claim 1, one Use of the arrangement as well as a procedure for the Withdrawal of a deposit that can be proven Objects and / or associated with a loan system Objects.

When taking back a deposit that can be proven Objects as well as belonging to a loan system Objects have the problem that once withdrawn Objects are stolen without authorization. With deposit This usually happens to occupied objects once again to benefit from a deposit, and at Objects from loan systems, such as Library books, videos, etc. to make them go unnoticed steal as the object is already returned as is registered.

In known systems, such as in particular Library lending systems, such as those described in WO00 / 64974 are usually the Registration of loan and redemption, registration great attention from users, etc. free, but not misuse when returning or Taking back the objects.

For example, the arrangement is described in the Wo99 / 64974 for the return of books in libraries easy to manipulate, i.e. for example by tying a cord to the object and retracting the object after it has been registered, the user can use it Steal the object in a simple way, although that Object is registered as returned.

Of course there is an analogous problem with Deposit systems, where, for example, a deposit Bottles or other containers after they are returned simple way to be stolen again then a return order to be re-entered. In this way, the deposit can be used multiple times for one and the same object will be cashed in, which of course is abusive.

The object of the present invention is therefore a Arrangement or to propose a device which the takes into account the problems described above, and by means of what abuses in returning or taking back Objects from deposit systems or loan systems can be largely prevented.

An arrangement according to the invention is proposed the wording in particular according to claim 1.

It is proposed that the arrangement according to the invention for taking back pledged or assignable objects and / or from a loan system associated objects, which have at least one at least a legible identification code is provided, is characterized by a reception station or a Recording area for entering or positioning the withdrawing object by a consumer or User person. At least one is also provided Reading device, which is provided for membership of the property at a specific deposit or loan system determine. A means of transport is also provided, which with the aforementioned reader is linked to the fact that if the Affiliation of the object activated the means of transport to transport the object away. Finally a shut-off device is provided through which the object with positive determination of the affiliation is transported.

So if the reading device does not belong to the the receiving station inserted object will not even activated the means of transport, which means neither a deposit payment or a return of the property is effected or registered.

Means are preferably provided on the shut-off device a backward movement of the object after Passage is at least difficult. In addition to that or alternatively, it is also possible to use the shut-off device Monitoring means to provide a backward movement to detect the object.

Both measures are suitable for the measures mentioned at the beginning To prevent abuses, for example one Retract using a cord or other suitable means by the person returning the object Consumers or by the user of the loan system prevent.

The monitoring means can be, for example act at least one position sensor, which indicates whether there is an object in the area of the shut-off device or in which direction the object is moved.

Another identification sensor is preferred provided for the identification of the withdrawn Object in the case of a lienable object to enter the corresponding deposit amount or in the case of a Loan system to take back the property and if necessary, register the object yourself.

According to one embodiment variant, it is possible that the or the identification sensor (s) and the reading device are identical or arranged in one and the same component are.

According to a further embodiment variant, it is possible that the reading device in front of the shut-off device and the or the identification sensor (s) after the shut-off device is or are arranged.

Again, according to another embodiment variant, it is possible that the identification sensor (s) additionally include a writing device to if applicable, data on an object arranged or integrated rewritable code or label change and / or to transfer to this or this.

Both the reading device and the device preferably work Identification sensor (s) and the writing device in the Radio frequency range to read or collect data and / or to transmit.

Further preferred variants of the arrangement are characterized in the dependent claims.

The arrangement defined according to the invention is in particular suitable for deposit systems, for example of consumer goods, like bottles, containers, Bowls, trays, etc. or for loan systems, such as libraries for borrowing Books, CDs, computer games, videos, magazines and like.

Both reading and, if necessary, writing is preferably carried out in the radio frequency range, whereby the objects to be identified preferably with a so-called RFID label or tag are provided.

Finally, a procedure for the Withdrawal of a deposit that can be proven Objects and / or associated with a loan system Objects that have at least one readable Identification codes are provided according to the wording Claim 19.

Further preferred uses of the inventive Arrangement are characterized in dependent claims.

The invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the attached figures explained in more detail.

schematically in section a further embodiment variant of the arrangement according to the invention, designed as a lock chamber.

The arrangement according to the invention is designed such that only objects with redemption rights are accepted, and that objects from customers resp. of. Users cannot be withdrawn through manipulation after the object has already been registered, and, for example, a receipt is printed. The Arrangement is intended for both objects of deposit systems and Loan systems that can be used with only readable RFID tags are provided, as for such objects that are provided with an RFID tag, with at least one rewritable field which For example, the status of objects describes how "entitled to pledge", "no longer entitled to pledge"; "in the Library stored "or" borrowed ", etc.

According to the invention, therefore, an arrangement or a Take-back module proposed according to Figure 1. Here it is Object 9 guided into the input opening 1. The object will detected by interrogator 2. If the object 9 as identified with return authorization, conveyor belt 3 starts, and door 4 opens so that the object at door 4 can be conveyed past.

The object now moves according to FIG Conveyor belt in the direction of the arrow, passes through doors 4 and is detected by the interrogator 5. Interrogator 5 changes now, if available, the content of an information field on the RFID tag to hold onto the object is accepted. This is done to prevent abuse prevent. If the RFID tag does not have one Information cell is preferred instead proposed according to the invention that for each withdrawn object the identification number of the Object is saved in a list and this number blocked for redemption within a reasonable time is. This block can only be the corresponding Take-back device concern or advantageously a group of Take-back devices that share a blacklist Manage data exchange. For example, at Existence of several parallel return stations ensured that not one at a station Mis-manipulation of a stolen object parallel return station entered can be used to trigger re-registration. For Lent objects in libraries seem to have a lockout period of 24 hours reasonable. For reusable objects (such as Bottles, containers, containers, etc.) appears a longer one Blocking period of about 14 days reasonable. These times are of course, the minimum speed of circulation Object type dependent and must be defined accordingly.

When you take them back, they are saved on the RFID tag Data or parts thereof (e.g. identification number, Name, etc.) from the computer for the subsequent one Receipt printing and recorded for any statistics.

If the object, according to FIG. 3, is completely at door 4 is over, the first version closes door 4 immediately, provided that no new object from Interrogator 2 is detected. Will not be a new object if it is detected, a receipt is printed. Will be a new one Identified object when entering, the repeats itself operation mentioned above until all returnable Objects entered by the user. Only then will it Printed receipt.

In a second embodiment, door 4 always closes after an object has passed door 4, independently whether a new object from Interrogator 2 is detected. The door will open again open after a certain delay. This Sequence has the consequence that the input speed compared to the first version, but has the advantage that between the withdrawn objects a minimum distance is guaranteed what a automatic sorting of the withdrawn objects simplified or allows.

The variant with position sensor (s) 6 is preferred entering 1 (in front of door 4) so that door 4 only then is opened when the interrogator 2 a Returnable object detected and the Position sensor (s) 6 additionally indicates (-on) that an object in the opening 1 is located. is entered. For the sequence control it is important to know whether the object is in front of, under or behind the door 4. At the same time, it is important to secure the door in such a way that it does not close if a person insert their hand should. We achieve this function with a preferred variant:

A position sensor 15 can, according to FIG. 4, the door 4 monitor. According to FIG. 4, the position sensor 15 is consisting for example of a photo emitter 11, a Detector 12 and the light beam 13 near the bottom of the conveyor belt 3, either immediately before, immediately after the door 4 or arranged directly in the area of the door. In the latter If the door 4 starts to close, when the light beam 13 is no longer interrupted; what in Normal case means that the entered object 9 at the Door 4 is over. When the light beam 13 is interrupted there is any object under door 4 and the door 4 must not continue to close until the Interruption of the light beam is canceled again. is the light beam 13 longer than a certain time interrupted, you can turn off the tape 3 or backwards drive so that it is ensured that people get through cannot hurt the closing movement of the door 4. With In this variant, the sequence of movements of object 9 track very well. For example, the door 4 again be closed if in spite of an object Interrogator 2 and sensor 6 within a certain No object reaches sensor 15 at this time. You can too measure how long an object interrupts the light beam 13 and so, based on the tape speed Close object length and possible manipulation attempts. Comment: The placement of the position sensor after the Door is less inexpensive, because in this case, theoretically one Object can be directly under the door without this being from Position sensor is detected.

You can further increase personal security by: secures the door 4 separately, e.g. through the use of Pressure sensors, thanks to a ground coupling on the door drive or by a current limiter in the drive motor. Also is possible to position the sensor in the door itself, according to Figure 10 to integrate.

In any case, an embodiment of the door 4 is preferred according to Figure 5, which is difficult to do with external force is open. A lock 20 is provided for this, which, as soon as the door is closed, with e.g. one Magnetic switch is locked.

The door can also be a swing door / flap, with e.g. a lock that opens when a redeemable object is entered, and again closes and locks when the object is at the door is over.

The use of built-in parts should be avoided such electrical properties that those of the Interrogator antennas 2 and 5 generated electrical fields affect, and therefore the read / write properties change / deteriorate. This is important to get the best To ensure reading properties. The electric fields 20 and 21 of the antennas are described in Figure 6. In So the electric fields should be in this area influencing materials can be avoided. This means, that preferably plastic rollers for the drive and Deflection pulley are used that the support plate for the Tape is made of wood or plastic, and that no components which make the electrical field essential influence, be placed in the described magnetic field.

Below are some examples of possible cases misuse or attempted fraud upon return of objects explained with reference to the figures.

Case A: Will before the receipt (i.e. before the door 4 is closed) the entered object using e.g. withdrawn with a cord, this is done by the interrogator 2 and possibly also from position sensors 6 and 15 registered. The redemption transaction already made will in this case by the data processing unit reverses and the operator receives no receipt. In In this case, the attempted manipulation is in one Vending machine log documented and recorded and it will an appropriate manipulation message to the operator and / or operator given.

Case B: the operator should enter the nth Try the object with a cord the n-1 beforehand To retract entered objects is the return movement also detected by interrogator 2 and 5, possibly also from position sensors 6 and 15. Die In this case the withdrawal transaction is reversed and the operator does not receive a receipt. In this case the attempted manipulation in a machine log documented and recorded and it will be appropriate Manipulation notification to the operator and / or operator given.

Case C: If the manipulator first entered n-1 objects, which are retractable with a cord, and for the one Receipt was printed, and then by means of a nth redeemable object ensure that the conveyor belt starts and the door 4 opens, the Operator may have entered the previously entered n-1 Withdraw objects. The withdrawal is from Interrogator 2 and 5 and possibly from position sensor 6 and 15 detected. In this case a theft alarm triggered and the door 4 as soon as possible closed when it's free. (Used by position sensor 15 checked).

To attempt theft according to case C. difficult / prevent, it is proposed that the door 4 is only open as long as necessary. According to the second embodiment variant, the door 4 is immediately closed when the light path 13 is interrupted, and according to the first variant if none additional additional objects entitled to take back at Are input. The door 4 is also closed without Consideration of the existence of others Take-back objects in case of attempted theft is detected by the system.

An alarm to the operator is generated immediately when the Light path 13 is interrupted for longer than a time Y. The time Y can be calculated using the maximum Length of an object and the transport speed of the Conveyor belt. Door 4 closes (if possible) immediately, if a backward movement from any interregator or position sensor is detected. It will be accordingly suggested that a position sensor 7 at the output 8 is mounted, the first is the backward movement detected. The position sensor 7 does not have to be on the machine be assembled yourself, but can also be related to entry into a collection container, one Sorting system or conveyor system can be installed. In addition, it is proposed according to FIGS. 7 and 8 that a mechanical arrangement is used that the Retracting objects which the conveyor belt 3 have left, impossible or at least difficult with special needs. This is illustrated using object 9, which slides on a slide 31 with guides 32, and either, according to FIG. 8, transferred to a conveyor belt 51 is, or, according to FIG. 7, in a collecting container 41 is entered. The idea is, according to Figures 7 and 8, that the object must pass a flap 52, which is so is designed so that it can only open in one direction, at the smallest pressure. That means an object 9, which has passed through the flap 52 and with a cord is withdrawn from the flap 52 and cannot be withdrawn any further. That mouth can be at various convenient. Places are, as for example, according to FIG. 8, on a conveyor belt 51, attached by a suitable holder frame 54 to one Slide 31 or according to Figure 7 at the opening 43 of a Lid 42 on a collecting container 41st

The withdrawal from a collecting container 41 can be seen as Alternative way of preventing mechanical guides are arranged in the opening, which act like catch handles. When pulling back, it is then unlikely that the Objects can go back through the opening.

In addition, according to FIG. 9, it is proposed that a Knife 32 is mounted on a slide 31 so that a Cord is cut when retracted. Preferably the knife should be sprung so that it is under the Yields weight of an object 9 and, when unloaded, in the original position jumps, which is the optimal one Cutting angle corresponds. Knives can be mounted there where it can be foreseen that when attempting a To withdraw the object, a contact edge from the cord arises. An additional benefit from the knife 32, according to FIG. 9, is that the original position of the knife Withdrawal is generally prevented because when withdrawing the object will line up with the knife when it is pulled back.

In addition, it is proposed that tape 3 be turned off and possibly reversed when the sensor 15 is interrupted for longer than a certain time, and that Closing the door is prevented by an object.

It is the object of this invention to adopt to refuse unauthorized objects or if necessary, such an object to the operator immediately return. If an object 9 from the interrogator 2 as is authorized to take back and the Position sensor 6 confirms the entry, door 4 opens and an object can be transported past door 4 become. Should it now turn out that by operator manipulation a non-returnable item is transported, this is determined when the object at door 4 has passed completely through and Interrogator 5 is the object read at interrogator 2 does not see. In this case, the tape will only run as long forward to any other objects in the system have left. This is from position sensors or from Interrogator 5 detected. Then tape 3 reverses and the named object becomes input 1 transported back. Door 4 closes that as soon Object is transported past. The tape stops when that Object is positioned on the tape so that it is for the It is easy for customers to remove / take back. This is controlled by the position sensor 6. On the screen the customer is prompted to enter the object remove.

In a further variant, according to FIG. 11, a door becomes 74 in a version analogous to door 4, also at the exit assembled. The distance between the doors is at least that Great as the length of the largest redeemable Object. The idea now is that at least one of doors 4 or 74 is closed. That way realizes a lock, which each kind of Tampering prevented. The process is as follows: The Door 4 opens when an object 9 authorized to return the input 1 is identified and closes if that Object is conveyed past door 4. The interrogator 5 registers the transaction and opens door 74 with it the object is output. Immediately when the object door 74 closes successfully soon closed successfully, door 4 becomes the Possibility to open again. at Passing through a non-redeemable object through the door 4 this is in the lock Interrogator 5 detects, the band 3 reverses and the Door 4 is opened again to the object again Return customers.

According to a further embodiment variant, FIG the arrangement according to the invention proposed that already at input opening 1 again lockable door 34 is arranged through which the Object 9 is entered in an input area. The Object 9 now lies on a swiveling slide 27, which e.g. is attached to the hinge 28.

Figure 13 shows the same arrangement as Figures 12 and the further processing and Transport process for object 9 shown. The user now closes the door 34 so that the input opening 1 is closed. The door 34 is locked. The Interrogator 2 now reads object 9 and if it does is entitled to take back or belongs to the loan system the following actions are detected triggered. The slide 27 is, e.g. an engine, pivoted downwards, so that the object 9 in one Collection container or on a transport / sorting system falls down. When the slide 27 is free again they immediately swung open again and returned to their original state brought. This can e.g. by a limit switch 29 be determined. Repositioning triggers that the locking of the door 34 is released and the door can be opened again. The door can be fully can be operated semi-automatically or manually. In any case is a signal to the user when a new object can be introduced and when the door can be opened again or is closed.

The swiveling slide according to Figures 12 and 13 can of course realized in different types become. The hinge can e.g. on four possible sides be assembled, or the slide is divided into two hinged flaps with two opposite Hinges. But, as shown in Figure 14, leaves the swiveling slide, e.g. around a middle arranged axis, rock back and forth so that you can move the Possibility to swivel the slide in two directions to let. In this way one can be identified Objects based on identity in one way or another Sort direction.

Figure 15 finally shows another Design variant of the arrangement according to the invention similar to that shown in Figure 11 by first open the object via the input opening 1 a first flap 44 pivotable about an axis 43, in a lock-like chamber 46 is entered. Then the flap 44 is firmly locked and in the object 46 inserted into the chamber 46 by the interrogator 2 detected. If the object 9 as a lien or to Loan system is detected properly, a second again, for example, door 47 pivotable about axis 43 opened so that the object 9 from the lock-like Chamber 46 can be transported away in the direction of the arrow. Through the further interrogator 5, the Identification or further processing of the RFID tag on Object 9 done. Of course it is also possible Interrogator 5 and possibly a writing device to be arranged in the area of the chamber 46.

In the arrangements shown in Figures 1 to 15 it is of course only examples which serve to explain the present invention in more detail. Of course it is possible to arrange the arrangement in any way modify, adapt, add further elements, etc. So it is also possible, for example, the arrangement for the simultaneous redemption of several liens To use objects or borrowed objects. In turn several objects are provided, for example with one RFID label entered on a conveyor belt upon acceptance and passed the first reader. Through the reader, such as the interrogator 2 are again the Read codes or labels and it is determined how many of the objects entered are entitled to return or belonging to the deposit or loan system. The number Objects whose codes or labels meet the requirements are shown on a display, for example, and the User or consumer can check whether the from Interrogator detected number with his ideas matches. If so, he can do the detected number confirm and accordingly the acceptance process will be like described above with reference to the various figures, continued. If, however, the consumer's imagination or user did not match the specification this the possibility not to confirm the acceptance whereupon all objects or for example a bottle harrass must be removed from the system and the The funding mechanism is not even put into operation.

It must also be so-called lien Objects are not necessarily reusable objects, but is the arrangement described according to the invention also suitable for disposable objects, which for example consist of to an appropriate location for environmental reasons should be returned. With the invention defined arrangement or the method can also be prevented by introducing waste charges objects that are no longer used are deposited in the wild. Due to a raised deposit, it is worthwhile in everyone Case, instead of wild disposal an object to the corresponding collection point provided for this purpose return, such as to one for the Withdrawal of such objects according to the invention Arrangement. For example, when you sell a A deposit, which is at least is partially repaid if the television is on the returned to the appropriate agency, and if the TV is no longer used becomes.

It is also conceivable that when taking back objects, not a certain amount is paid out or credited, but that there is also the possibility of Use directly from a non-profit institution to credit, or to use as a bet. It is also possible to return ten or a number of objects each pay additional bonus, such as one Treuebon. You can continue at the return station for example, a keyboard can be provided, in which the consumer can enter how to pay the deposit or is to be used.

In other words, the present invention never on any particular object or on any Deposit or loan type limited, but can be anywhere where there is a clear Identification or designation of a product to be returned or a returned object is necessary, resp. Return, correct disposal or re-cyclization of a dispensed Object is desirable, sensible or necessary.

It is also possible to give the user vouchers for certain Issue products or pay attention to certain products do. These can affect known behavior patterns of the Refer to user. So you know, e.g. often by customers capture the shopping habits or the Books References. Thus, e.g. in a combined Library / bookstore, to be made aware of books, which should correspond to personal taste and in Are selling.
