Description

[0001] The invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing elongated beverage containers, in particular beverage cans, comprising: A housing with a rear insertion opening for inserting beverage containers and a front extraction element, which has a support surface for the foremost beverage container, an inner wall raised therefrom with a curved contact area for the outer wall of the foremost beverage container and a top extraction opening for removing the foremost beverage container, a guide channel with two side surfaces and a forward-sloping sliding surface for conveying the beverage containers in an upright position from the rear receiving opening into the front extraction element, a cooling device for cooling the beverage containers, wherein the cooling device has two lateral cooling surfaces substantially parallel to the side surfaces of the guide channel.

[0002] Such a can dispenser is known from WO2016 / 179624 A1 and DE 20 2016 002 796 U1, in which the beverage containers are inserted into the guide channel via the receiving opening while upright and conveyed along the sliding surface into the dispensing element, from which the foremost beverage can can be lifted out. This can dispenser is particularly well suited for stores where customers can remove the cans themselves. A high-performance cooling device is required to cool the cans to drinking temperature. In this prior art, the cooling device has a cooling element with a cooling surface below the sliding surface and on the side surfaces of the guide channel. These cooling surfaces are intended to create a cooling sump that extends along the forward-sloping sliding surface into the interior of the dispensing element.Nevertheless, in practice, cooling the front beverage container in the dispensing element has proven to be a challenge.

[0003] In DE20317775 U1 a different type of merchandise presentation furniture is shown.

[0004] From JP 2004 294016 A a table cooler or warmer for drinks or food in bottles or cans is known.

[0005] Cooling devices for cooling individual beverage containers in corresponding receptacles are also known from WO 2016 / 115331 A1 and WO 2016 / 011072 A1.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to alleviate or eliminate at least some of the disadvantages of the invention. In particular, the invention aims to improve the cooling of the foremost beverage container in the upwardly open dispensing element.

[0007] This problem is solved by a dispenser having the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments are specified in the dependent claims.

[0008] According to the invention, the cooling device has a curved cooling surface essentially parallel to the curved contact area for the foremost beverage container on the inner wall of the dispensing element, wherein the cooling device has a cooling element in which the lateral cooling surfaces and the curved cooling surface are formed in one piece.

[0009] In this design, the foremost beverage container is additionally cooled by the curved cooling surface on the dispensing element. A particular advantage is that the foremost beverage container in the dispensing element is pressed against the curved contact area of ​​the inner wall of the dispensing element by the beverage containers moving behind it. This curved contact area of ​​the cooling element is located on this surface. This ensures full-surface contact between the outer surface of the foremost beverage can and the cooled inner wall of the dispensing element, significantly improving the cooling effect. In contrast, a slight lateral clearance must be maintained along the guide channel between the beverage containers and the sides of the guide channel to allow the beverage containers to slide forward.Due to the full-surface cooling of the foremost beverage container at the front of the dispensing element, the desired drinking temperature can be achieved efficiently.

[0010] The side cooling surfaces and / or the front, curved cooling surface preferably extend over at least half the height of the beverage container.

[0011] To cool the foremost beverage container as effectively as possible, it is advantageous for the curved cooling surface to be essentially semicircular. This ensures that a cylindrical section of the beverage container is surrounded by the cooled area of ​​the dispensing element over approximately half its circumference. Due to the opening angle of approximately 180°, the sliding of identical beverage containers into the dispensing element after the removal of the foremost container is not impeded.

[0012] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the curved cooling surface at the contact area of ​​the extraction element is connected to the lateral cooling surfaces on the side faces of the guide channel. This forms a continuous cooling surface that extends from one side of the guide channel parallel to the inner wall of the extraction element to the other side of the guide channel.

[0013] On the rear of the dispenser, i.e., opposite the dispensing element, a receiving opening is provided, which is preferably arranged substantially perpendicular to the sliding surface and shaped according to the cross-section of the guide channel. The beverage containers can be fed into the guide channel via the receiving opening in an upright or vertical position, with the containers being conveyed one after the other, and in a singlying state, under the influence of gravity, along the sliding surface. For this purpose, the sliding surface is inclined forward, in the direction of the dispensing element. The angle of the sliding surface to the horizontal is, in particular, between 10° and 20°, for example, substantially 15°.The sliding movement of the beverage containers during filling is stopped by the preceding beverage container or – when empty – by the upwardly open dispensing element, which is preferably accessible without barriers, in particular without a flap or the like. Thus, the dispenser can be filled individually with the beverage containers. Advantageously, filling can be carried out with the device in its assembled, operational state, even with the sliding surface inclined. Unlike prior art, it is therefore not necessary to open the device and place the beverage containers in the guide channel. In particular, with the embodiment according to the invention, it is also not necessary to bring the guide channel into a horizontal position for inserting the beverage containers.The beverage containers can be inserted through the rear receiving opening, with each container sliding individually into its designated position within the guide channel or dispensing element. This allows the device to be continuously refilled during use. The guide channel is preferably elongated in the direction of the sliding surface, and in particular, a single row of beverage containers can be accommodated within it.

[0014] The beverage containers are preferably cylindrical beverage cans, especially 250-milliliter cans, such as those used for energy drinks or iced coffees. Alternatively, beverage containers with a cylindrical section, such as beer bottles, can also be used. The dispenser's design is characterized by its particularly small footprint, opening up a wide range of applications, such as use at sales counters or similar locations. Furthermore, refilling the beverage containers is significantly simplified compared to prior art methods.

[0015] To prevent a beverage container sliding along the sliding surface in its singulated state from tipping over, it is preferably provided that the guide channel has a retaining surface opposite the sliding surface, i.e., on its upper side, to prevent the beverage container from tipping over within the guide channel. Accordingly, the guide channel has a closed cross-section. The upper side of the guide channel is designed as a retaining surface, which reliably prevents the beverage container from tipping forward into its intended position while sliding along the sliding surface. Without an upper retaining surface, the prior art would not be able to allow the beverage containers to slide into the intended position in the singulated state, as the beverage containers could tip forward, particularly due to frictional engagement with the sliding surface.In contrast, the retaining surface on the top of the guide channel ensures that the beverage containers are held upright even when inserted individually, i.e., not touching each other, along the guide channel. This retaining surface, in conjunction with the receiving opening on the back of the housing, reliably prevents malfunctions during filling.

[0016] To prevent the beverage containers from tipping over when sliding along the sliding surface in their individual positions, it is advantageous for the height of the guide channel between the sliding surface and the retention surface to be 1.004 to 1.007 times, preferably substantially 1.0055 times, greater than the height of the beverage container arranged within it. In this design, at least one beverage container is therefore part of the dispenser. The height of the guide channel, i.e., its extension perpendicular to the sliding surface, is in the aforementioned ratio to the height or longitudinal extent of the beverage container. This creates a small amount of clearance between the beverage container and the retention surface, which on the one hand does not impede the sliding of the beverage containers and on the other hand reliably ensures that the retention surface returns a beverage container that tips forward to a position in full contact with the sliding surface.

[0017] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the height of the guide channel between the sliding surface and the retaining surface is from 135.5 mm to 136 mm, in particular substantially 135.75 mm, and the height of the beverage container arranged therein is between 134.75 mm and 135.25 mm, in particular substantially 135 mm, wherein the width of the guide channel between two side surfaces is preferably from 54 mm to 55 mm, in particular substantially 54.5 mm, and the diameter of the beverage container arranged therein is from 52.75 mm to 53.25 mm, in particular substantially 53 mm.

[0018] To minimize cooling losses, a closure element is preferably provided for closing the receiving opening. This closure element is preferably designed as a flap that can pivot between a closed operating position and an open loading position. The flap is preferably pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis to selectively open or close the receiving opening, which extends perpendicular to the sliding surface.

[0019] For the purposes of this disclosure, location and direction references such as "above", "below", "forward", "backward" refer to the intended use of the dispenser on a horizontal surface.

[0020] A "cylindrical" housing part is defined here as a housing part which, at least in one longitudinal section, is cylindrical in the circumferential direction, at least partially, to allow for the full-surface application of an advertising film. In one embodiment, the cylindrical housing part is cut off at the bottom, meaning it is only cylindrical in the upper section. Furthermore, the cylindrical housing part can also have a non-cylindrical, essentially conical, longitudinal section following the cylindrical longitudinal section to replicate the shape of a bottle.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser has a fan which conveys the heated air from the cooling device to the ventilation opening in the terminal block.

[0022] According to the invention, the cooling device comprises a cooling element in which the lateral cooling surfaces and the curved cooling surface are formed as a single unit. The lateral cooling surfaces extend along the side surfaces of the guide channel, and the curved cooling surface extends along the inner wall of the extraction element. Therefore, the lateral cooling surfaces are part of the side surfaces of the guide channel, and the curved cooling surface is part of the inner wall of the extraction element. This design is particularly suitable for a cooling device embodiment with a Peltier element that is thermally connected to the cooling element.

[0023] A metal plate, for example aluminum, is preferably provided as a cooling element, forming part of the side surfaces of the guide channel along the guide channel and part of the inner wall of the extraction element along the extraction element.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the cooling device has at least one Peltier element, preferably two Peltier elements, on opposite longitudinal sides of the housing. The Peltier element is thermally connected to the cooling element.

[0025] In order to shift the generation of waste heat to the outside of the housing, the Peltier element is connected to the cooling element via a heat transfer element, in particular a metal block, in a preferred embodiment.

[0026] According to an alternative preferred embodiment, the lateral cooling surfaces of the cooling device extend adjacent to the side surfaces of the guide channel, and the curved cooling surface extends adjacent to the inner wall of the dispensing element. In this embodiment, the lateral cooling surfaces are arranged at a distance from the side surfaces of the guide channel, and the curved cooling surface is arranged at a distance from the inner wall of the dispensing element. This embodiment is particularly suitable for a cooling device with a compressor, preferably an evaporator which surrounds the separate guide channel with the sliding surface and the inner wall of the dispensing element. This prevents icing of the guide channel.

[0027] In order to be able to adjust the cooling performance with regard to the desired drinking temperature, preferably at least one temperature sensor is provided to measure the outside temperature of a beverage container.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor for measuring the external temperature of the foremost beverage container is arranged in the dispensing element. This design is based on the understanding that cooling the foremost beverage container within the dispensing unit is particularly difficult due to the top-mounted dispensing opening. Therefore, it is preferred that the cooling capacity is adjusted depending on the external temperature of the foremost beverage container.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the cooler comprises a cylindrical housing part and a clamping device for securing an edge area of ​​an advertising film to the outside of the cylindrical housing part. The clamping device has a clamping strip on one longitudinal side of the cylindrical housing part, with at least one ventilation opening for releasing heated air from the cooling device to the environment.

[0030] Advantageously, in this embodiment, the clamping strip fulfills two fundamentally different functions. Firstly, the clamping strip allows for the replacement of the advertising film on the outside of the cylindrical housing part. For this purpose, the clamping strip can be moved between a clamping position that firmly grips the edge of the advertising film and a release position that releases the edge of the advertising film. In the clamping position, the clamping strip presses the edge of the advertising film against the outside of the cylindrical housing part. In the release position, the clamping strip is lifted from the outside of the cylindrical housing part. If necessary, the advertising film can therefore be easily replaced with a different advertising film with a different print. Secondly, the clamping strip has a ventilation opening through which exhaust air generated during operation of the cooling device can be released from the inside of the housing into the surrounding environment.Since the clamping strip is located on one of the long sides of the elongated, cylindrical housing section, the exhaust air is blown sideways through the ventilation opening, and thus not forwards towards the dispensing element or backwards towards the rear inlet opening. Advantageously, neither a customer in front of the dispenser nor a salesperson behind it is exposed to disruptive exhaust air currents. Therefore, the clamping strip can also be used to improve the exhaust airflow.

[0031] The invention is further explained below by means of a preferred embodiment that does not limit the invention. Fig. 1 shows a diagrammatic view of a can dispenser according to the invention. Fig. 2 shows a side view of the can dispenser according to Fig. 1 . Fig. 3 shows a rear view of the can dispenser according to Fig. 1, 2 . Fig. 4 shows a longitudinal section along line IV-IV in Fig. 2 . Fig. 5 Detail Z shows the Fig. 4 . Fig. 6 shows a cross-section along line VI-VI in Fig. 2 . Fig. 7 Detail Y shows the Fig. 6 . Fig. 8 bis 12 The figures show successive steps in changing an advertising film of the can dispenser according to the invention.

[0032] The figures show a device, designated as dispenser 1, for dispensing elongated, at least partially cylindrical beverage containers 2, which in the embodiment shown are formed by 250 ml beverage cans. The dispenser 1 has a housing 3 for receiving the beverage containers 2. The housing 3 has an upper, partially cylindrical housing part 4 and a lower, cuboid housing part 5, which may be detachably connected to one another. At the front, the device 1 has a dispensing element 6 in the form of a pedestal from which a single beverage container 2 can be removed. For this purpose, the dispensing element 6 has a flat contact surface 14 (see figure 1). Fig. 4 ) on which the beverage container 2 rests. The dispensing element 6 has a dispensing opening 7 on its upper side, from which the beverage container 2 can be lifted out without barriers, i.e., without removing a lid or releasing a locking device. The beverage container 2 projects upwards beyond a horizontal upper edge 8 of the dispensing element 6 to facilitate its removal. The dispenser 1 also has a cooling device 9 (see figure). Fig. 4 ) which can be used to cool both the beverage containers 2 arranged inside the housing 3 and the beverage container 2 arranged inside the dispensing element 6.

[0033] As from Fig. 3 As can be seen, a display element 44, e.g., a light-emitting diode, is arranged on the rear of the housing 3, which emits a signal, in particular a light signal, when no beverage container 2 is present in the dispenser 1. The presence of the beverage containers 2 is monitored by presence sensors (not shown).

[0034] As from Fig. 4 , 6As can be seen, the housing 3 has a conveying and guide channel 10 extending longitudinally within the housing 3, with a sliding surface 11 on its underside inclined forward to the horizontal, in the direction of the dispensing element 6. The width of the guide channel 10, i.e., its shorter cross-sectional extent perpendicular to the conveying direction, is less than the height of the guide channel 10, i.e., its extent perpendicular to the sliding surface 11. This allows the beverage containers 2 to slide along the sliding surface 11 of the guide channel 10 when upright or on its edge, unlike a roller bearing as in many known can dispensers. Thus, a beverage container 2, when the device 1 is (still) empty, can slide into the dispensing element 6 under the influence of gravity. The bottom surface of the beverage container 2, facing away from the drinking opening, slides on the sliding surface 11 of the guide channel 10.As soon as beverage container 2 is removed, the beverage container 2 located behind it slides from the guide channel 10 into the dispensing element 6. For this purpose, the housing 3 has a dispensing opening on the side of the dispensing element 6, extending substantially perpendicular to the sliding surface 11 and shaped substantially to the shape of beverage container 2. The side surfaces 20, 21 of the guide channel 10 extend partly into the lower housing part 5 and partly into the upper housing part 4.

[0035] As from Fig. 3 As can be seen, the housing 3 has, on the side facing away from the removal element 6, a receiving opening 12 extending essentially perpendicular to the sliding surface for inserting beverage containers 2 into the guide channel 10. A closing element 13 is provided for closing the receiving opening 12, which in the embodiment shown is designed as a flap that can be positioned between a position that closes the receiving opening 12 (see figure). Fig. 3 ) and can be pivoted into a loading position (not shown) that releases the receiving opening 12.

[0036] In the illustrated embodiment, the housing 3 is connected to a stand element 16, which is placed on a flat surface. The housing 3 is positioned at an angle to the horizontal with the sliding surface 11, allowing the beverage containers 2 to slide automatically over the sliding surface 11. In the illustrated embodiment, the stand element 16 has a bracket 17 that rests flat on the surface. This creates a gap between the top of the bracket 17 and the underside of the lower housing part 5.

[0037] As from Fig. 6 As can be seen, the guide channel 10 has a flat, parallel retaining surface 19 on its upper side, i.e., opposite the sliding surface 11, to prevent the beverage containers 2 from tipping over within the guide channel 10. Furthermore, the guide channel 10 has a first side surface 20 and a second side surface 21, which extend substantially perpendicular to the sliding surface 11. In the embodiment shown, the height of the guide channel 10, i.e., the distance between the sliding surface 10 and the retaining surface 19, is 1.0055 times greater than the height of the beverage container 2 arranged therein. In the case of the 250 ml beverage can, the height of the guide channel 10 is substantially 135.75 mm, and the height of the beverage container 2 arranged therein is substantially 135 mm. The width of the guide channel 10 between the first 20 and second side surface 21 is essentially 54.5 mm.

[0038] As from Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 As can be seen, the cooling device 9 in the illustrated embodiment has a cooling element 22 which is connected to two Peltier elements 24 via two heat transfer elements 23 in the form of metal blocks. The Peltier elements 24 are connected to cooling fins 26 via heat conductors 25. A fan 27 is arranged in the lower part of the housing 3 to remove the heated air from the housing 3.

[0039] As from Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 As can be seen, the cooling element 22 has two lateral cooling surfaces 28 along the side surfaces 20, 21 of the guide channel 10. The lateral cooling surfaces 28 preferably extend over at least half the height of the guide channel 10. In addition, the cooling element 22 has a curved cooling surface 29 (see in detail Fig. 5 ) in the dispensing element 6, which in the illustrated embodiment has the same height as the lateral cooling surfaces 28. The curved cooling surface 29 extends along a curved contact area 30 on an inner wall 31 of the dispensing element 6, which projects upwards from the base surface 14 of the dispensing element 6. In the illustrated embodiment, the curved cooling surface 29, viewed in longitudinal section through the dispenser 1 (parallel to the sliding surface 11), is essentially semicircular. The curved cooling surface 29 at the contact area 30 of the dispensing element 6 is connected to the lateral cooling surfaces 28 on the side surfaces 20, 21 of the guide channel 10 via flat connecting cooling surfaces 32.For the formation of the cooling element 22, a plate section made of a highly thermally conductive material, here metal, for example aluminum, is provided, on which the lateral cooling surfaces 20, 21 along the guide channel 10 and the front cooling surfaces 29, 32 along the inner wall 31 of the dispensing element 6 are formed in one piece. In the embodiment shown, the dispensing element 6 has insulation 15. Furthermore, at least one temperature sensor (not shown) can be provided for measuring the external temperature of a beverage container 2. At least one temperature sensor is arranged in the dispensing element 6 for measuring the external temperature of the foremost beverage container 2.

[0040] As from Fig. 1 (see also) Fig. 10 As can be seen, an advertising film 33 is attached to the outside of the cylindrical housing part 4. To allow the advertising film 33 to be changed, a clamping device 34 is provided (see in detail). Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 ) for clamping opposing edge areas 35 of the advertising film 33 against the outside of the cylindrical housing part 4. The clamping device 34 has a clamping strip 36 on each longitudinal side, i.e., on the sides extending in the longitudinal direction of the guide channel 10, of the cylindrical housing part 4, each of which extends substantially over the entire length (i.e., the longitudinal extent of the guide channel 10) of the cylindrical housing part 4. The clamping strips 36 are connected via joints 34a (see Figure 34a). Fig. 6 ) pivotably arranged on the housing 3. To change the advertising film 33, the clamping strips 36 can be moved from a clamping position that clamps the opposite edge areas 35 of the advertising film 33 (see figure). Fig. 1 ) into a release position releasing the edge areas 35 of the advertising film 33 (cf. Fig. 9 ) can be pivoted. In the operating position of the dispenser 1, the clamping strips 36 are each fixed in the clamping position by a locking device (not shown).

[0041] As from Fig. 1 As further shown, the terminal strips 36 each have a plurality of ventilation openings 37 in the form of ventilation slots, which are arranged at regular intervals along the terminal strips 36. The heated air from the operation of the cooling device 9 can be released to the environment much more effectively via the ventilation openings 37 than would be possible with conventional ventilation openings 38 on the lower housing part 5. The ventilation openings 37 on the terminal strips 36 are directed obliquely upwards in the clamping position. The angle of the terminal strips 36 (and thus of the ventilation openings 37) in the clamping position is arranged at an angle of 45° to 65°, preferably 50° to 60°, and in particular substantially 55°, to the horizontal.

[0042] As from Fig. 6 (and in detail from Fig. 7 As can be seen, a rubber strip 39 is attached to the inside of the clamping strip 36 for holding the edge area 35 of the advertising film 33. The rubber strip 39 has individual rubber lips 40 on the side facing the advertising film 33, which improve the grip on the advertising film 33.

[0043] As from Fig. 6 As can be seen, lighting elements 41, here LEDs, are arranged below the terminal strip 36. The advertising film 33, which is preferably designed as a light guide film for this purpose, is illuminated by the lighting elements 41.

[0044] From the Fig. 8 bis 12 The procedure for changing the advertising film 33 is shown. First, a tool 42 is engaged with the ventilation openings 37 on the clamping strip 36 ( Fig. 8 ). The clamping strip 36 can then be pivoted outwards into the release position using the tool 42 ( Fig. 9 The clamping strip 36 is also released on the opposite long side. The advertising film 33 can then be removed and replaced with another advertising film. The new advertising film is again fixed with the clamping strips 36 ( Fig. 11 ). When the dispenser 1 is in use, the exhaust air from the cooling device 9 flows diagonally upwards out of the ventilation slots of the terminal strips 36 (see arrow 43 in Fig. 12 ).
