Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Beheizen von elektronischen Geräten, Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device for heating electronic devices, vending and payment machines and access control devices according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist bekannt, Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten, beispielsweise Automaten zur Entrichtung von Parkgebühren und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen, insbesondere Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen, die im Freien aufgestellt sind und niedrigen Temperaturen ausgesetzt sind, zu beheizen. Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen weisen in der Regel mehrere Module auf, beispielsweise Münzrückgabemodule, umfassend Förderbänder zum Transport der als Rückgeld dienenden Münzen, Banknoteneingabe- und -ausgabemodule, Ticket- oder Kreditkarteneinzugsmodule, Druckermodule für die Zugangsberechtigungen etc..It is known from the prior art to heat vending machines and payment machines, for example machines for paying parking fees and access control devices, in particular vending and payment machines and access control devices that are set up outdoors and are exposed to low temperatures. Vending and payment machines and access control devices typically have several modules, such as coin return modules, including conveyor belts for transporting the coins serving as a refund, banknote input and output modules, ticket or credit card collection modules, printer modules for access authorizations, and the like.

Das Beheizen ist erforderlich, da in der Regel Module, die in diesen Geräten enthalten sind, für Temperaturen oberhalb 0°C ausgelegt sind; Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen, welche ausschließlich Module aufweisen, die für den Betrieb bei niedrigen Temperaturen ausgelegt sind, sind in nachteiliger Weise sehr teuer. Ferner entsteht die Notwendigkeit, im Freien aufgestellte elektronische Geräte, wie z.B. Digital Signage Geräte zu beheizen.Heating is required, as usually modules contained in these devices are designed for temperatures above 0 ° C; Vending and payment machines and access control devices, which have only modules that are designed for operation at low temperatures, are disadvantageously very expensive. Furthermore, there is a need to develop outdoor electronic devices, e.g. Digital signage appliances to heat.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist bekannt, zum Beheizen von Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen an einer Stelle möglichst nah am Gehäuseboden innerhalb des Gehäuses dieser Geräte zumindest einen Heizlüfter anzuordnen, welcher durch einen Thermostaten gesteuert wird. Da die Gehäuse von Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen oder Teile davon aus Metall hergestellt sind, wird hierbei eine hohe Energiemenge benötigt, um die Luft innerhalb des Gehäuses zu heizen, da ein großer Teil der Heizenergie über das Gehäuse der Umwelt zugeführt wird. Bei diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Heizverfahren werden in nachteiliger Weise nicht alle Module, die in einem Automaten enthalten sind, beheizt, da aufgrund der Anordnung der Module innerhalb des Gehäuses die aufsteigende warme Luft nicht jedes Modul erreichen kann; ferner werden die im unteren Bereich des Gehäuses angeordneten Module nicht ausreichend beheizt. Zudem ist nach dem Stand der Technik ein Beheizen der an der Tür des Gehäuses angebrachten Module im Betrieb bei geöffneter Tür, was z.B. während des Auffüllens von Tickets, Münzen, Waren etc. der Fall ist, nicht möglich.From the prior art is known to heat for sale and payment machines and access control devices at a location as close to the housing bottom within the housing of these devices at least one fan heater to be controlled by a thermostat. Since the cases of vending and payment machines and access control devices or parts thereof are made of metal In this case, a large amount of energy is required to heat the air within the housing, since a large part of the heating energy is supplied through the housing to the environment. In these known from the prior art heating method not all modules that are contained in a machine are heated disadvantageously, since due to the arrangement of the modules within the housing, the rising warm air can not reach every module; Furthermore, the arranged in the lower part of the housing modules are not sufficiently heated. In addition, according to the state of the art, heating of the modules mounted on the door of the housing during operation when the door is open, which is the case, for example, during the filling of tickets, coins, goods, etc., is not possible.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Beheizen von elektronischen Geräten, Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen und Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten anzugeben, welche ein Beheizen von Modulen der Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen und Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten auf einfache und effektive Weise ermöglicht.The present invention has for its object to provide a device for heating electronic devices, access control devices and vending and payment machines, which allows heating modules of access control devices and vending and payment machines in a simple and effective manner.

Eine Zugangskontrollvorrichtung im Sinne der Erfindung kann z.B. eine Zugangskontrollvorrichtung in einem Skigebiet oder eine Parksäule sein, wobei Parksäulen, die vor einer Einfahrt angeordnet sind, ein Knopf oder eine Taste aufweisen, mittels dessen bzw. deren Betätigung über eine Ticketausgabe ein Ticket ausgegeben wird, wobei anschließend eine Parkschranke im Öffnungssinne betätigt wird, um einem Fahrzeug Einlass zu gewähren. Bei vor Ausfahrten von Parkhäusern angeordneten Parksäulen ist eine Vorrichtung zur Eingabe von Tickets oder kartenförmigen Zahlungsmitteln, beispielsweise Kreditkarten vorgesehen, wobei nach Eingabe eines Tickets mit gültigen Bezahlinformationen oder eines kartenförmigen Zahlungsmittels und Auslesen der entsprechenden Daten eine Parkschranke im Öffnungssinne betätigt wird, um die Ausfahrt des Fahrzeugs zu ermöglichen.An access control device according to the invention can e.g. an access control device in a ski area or a parking pillar, wherein parking columns, which are arranged in front of a driveway, have a button or a key, by means of which or actuation of which a ticket is issued via a ticket output, a parking barrier then being operated in the opening direction, to grant admission to a vehicle. In parked buildings before exits parking stands a device for entering tickets or card-shaped means of payment, such as credit cards is provided, after entering a ticket with valid payment information or a card-shaped means of payment and reading the corresponding data, a parking barrier is operated in the opening sense to the exit of Allow vehicle.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere Ausgestaltungen und Vorteile gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1. Further embodiments and advantages will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Demnach wird eine Vorrichtung zum Beheizen von elektronischen Geräten, Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen und Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten vorgeschlagen, welche zumindest einen Heizlüfter umfassend einen Ventilator aufweist, welcher an einer beliebigen freien Stelle innerhalb des Gehäuses oder außerhalb des Gehäuses der elektronischen Geräte, der Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten oder der Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen angeordnet ist, dessen zumindest einer Luftauslass mittels eines Luftführungsbauteils mit jeweils einem Lufteinlass eines im Gehäuse angeordneten Rohrsystems strömungstechnisch verbunden ist, wobei das Rohrsystem mehrere Luftauslässe aufweist, wobei jedem zu beheizenden Modul der elektronischen Geräte, der Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten oder der Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen zumindest ein Luftauslass zugeordnet ist, der dem zu beheizenden Modul durch den zumindest einen Heizlüfter erwärmte Luft zuführt. Die Leistung des zumindest einen Heizlüfters kann im Rahmen einer Weiterbildung gesteuert werden.Accordingly, a device for heating electronic devices, access control devices and sales and payment machines is proposed, which comprising at least one fan heater comprising a fan which is arranged at any free position within the housing or outside the housing of the electronic devices, vending and payment machines or access control devices, the at least one air outlet by means of an air guide component, each with an air inlet in the housing arranged pipe system is fluidly connected, wherein the pipe system has a plurality of air outlets, each module to be heated electronic devices, the vending machines and the access control devices at least one air outlet is assigned to the heated module through the at least one fan heated air supplies. The power of the at least one fan heater can be controlled within the scope of a development.

Die Rohre des Rohrsystems können beispielsweise aus Kunststoff oder Gummi bzw. aus einem Elastomer oder aus jedem geeigneten Material hergestellt sein. Der Heizlüfter kann auf einer DIN-Tragschiene befestigt werden; ferner kann der Heizlüfter einen mit einer Steuerung verbundenen Temperatursensor aufweisen, um ein Überhitzen zu vermeiden.The pipes of the pipe system may be made of plastic or rubber, for example, or of an elastomer or of any suitable material. The fan heater can be mounted on a DIN rail; Furthermore, the fan heater may have a temperature sensor connected to a controller to prevent overheating.

Im Rahmen einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist sämtlichen oder einem Teil der zu beheizenden Module jeweils ein Temperatursensor zugeordnet, anhand dessen Signals über eine Steuerung die Zuführung erwärmter Luft mittels mit der Steuerung verbundener und den Luftauslässen des Rohrsystems zugeordneter Ventile reduziert oder unterbrochen wird, wenn die Temperatur einen ersten Schwellenwert zur Reduzierung der Zuführung bzw. einen zweiten Schwellenwert zur Unterbrechung der Zuführung überschreitet, wobei die Schwellenwerte für jedes zu beheizende Modul vorzugsweise individuell vorgebbar sind.As part of a further development of the invention, all or part of the modules to be heated are each assigned a temperature sensor, by means of which the signal is reduced or interrupted by means of a control system by means of valves connected to the control and associated with the air outlets of the pipe system, when the temperature a first threshold for reducing the supply or a second threshold for interrupting the supply exceeds, wherein the threshold values for each module to be heated are preferably predetermined individually.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann in das Rohrsystem zumindest ein Ventilator integriert sein, welcher die Zuführung der erwärmten Luft zu den Modulen und somit das Beheizen der Module beschleunigt.According to one embodiment of the invention, at least one fan can be integrated in the pipe system, which accelerates the supply of the heated air to the modules and thus the heating of the modules.

Das Rohrsystem kann modular aufgebaut sein, so dass je nach Bedarf ggf. mittels Adapterstücken Rohre oder Rohrstücke mit jeweils zwei oder mehreren Auslässen hinzugefügt oder entfernt werden können.The pipe system may be modular, so that, if necessary, by means of adapter pieces pipes or pipe sections, each with two or more outlets can be added or removed as needed.

Gemäß der Erfindung werden durch die vorgeschlagene Vorrichtung auch an der Tür des Gehäuses der elektronischen Geräte, der Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen angebrachte zu beheizende Module gezielt mit erwärmter Luft versorgt, wobei zumindest ein Rohr des Rohrsystems entlang einer Seiteninnenwand des Gehäuses über die Bandseite der Tür zu der Innenseite der Tür des Gehäuses geführt wird, derart, dass durch den zumindest einen Heizlüfter erwärmte Luft über Luftauslässe den an der Tür angebrachten zu beheizenden Modulen zugeführt wird. Dies resultiert in vorteilhafter Weise darin, dass ein elektronisches Gerät, ein Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomat oder eine Zugangskontrollvorrichtung auch bei geöffneter Tür nicht ausgeschaltet werden muss, beispielsweise während des Auffüllens von Tickets, Münzen, Waren etc..According to the invention to be heated by the proposed device also on the door of the housing of the electronic devices, vending machines and access control devices mounted modules to be heated supplied with heated air, at least one pipe of the pipe system along a side inner wall of the housing on the hinge side of Door is led to the inside of the door of the housing, such that heated by the at least one fan heater air is supplied via air outlets attached to the door to be heated modules. This advantageously results in that an electronic device, a vending and payment machine or an access control device does not have to be switched off even when the door is open, for example during the filling of tickets, coins, goods, etc.

Ferner resultiert die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung durch die gezielte Zuführung von erwärmter Luft in einem sehr schnellen Beheizen der zu beheizenden Module, wodurch die Zeit vom Einschalten bis zur Betriebsbereitschaft der Verkaufs- und Bezahlautomaten und Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen bei niedrigen Temperaturen erheblich verkürzt wird. Zudem resultiert die gezielte Zuführung von erwärmter Luft in einer signifikanten Energieersparnis.Furthermore, the device according to the invention results from the targeted supply of heated air in a very fast heating of the modules to be heated, whereby the time from switching on to the operational readiness of the vending and payment machines and access control devices at low temperatures is significantly reduced. In addition, the targeted supply of heated air results in a significant energy savings.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der beigefügten Figuren näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1: eine schematische perspektivische Ansicht eines Verkaufsautomaten nach dem Stand der Technik bei geöffneter Tür;
  • Figur 2: eine schematische perspektivische Ansicht eines Verkaufsautomaten umfassend eine Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung bei geöffneter Tür; und
  • Figur 3: eine schematische perspektivische Ansicht eines Teils eines Rohrsystems gemäß der Erfindung zur Veranschaulichung des modularen Aufbaus des Rohrsystems.
The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the attached figures. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 a schematic perspective view of a vending machine according to the prior art with the door open;
  • FIG. 2 a schematic perspective view of a vending machine comprising a device according to the invention with the door open; and
  • FIG. 3 FIG. 2: a schematic perspective view of a part of a pipe system according to the invention for illustrating the modular construction of the pipe system. FIG.

In Figur 1 ist mit 1 ein Verkaufsautomat bezeichnet, welcher mehrere in einem Gehäuse 2 angeordnete Module 3 aufweist; zwei Module sind an der Innenseite der Tür 4 des Gehäuses angeordnet. Hierbei ist möglichst nah am Gehäuseboden 5 ein Heizlüfter 6 angeordnet, welcher den Innenraum des Gehäuses 2 mit erwärmter Luft versorgt.In FIG. 1 1 denotes a vending machine which has a plurality of modules 3 arranged in a housing 2; two modules are on the inside of the door 4 of the housing arranged. Here, as close as possible to the housing bottom 5, a fan heater 6 is arranged, which supplies the interior of the housing 2 with heated air.

Aufgrund der Anordnung der Module 3 innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 kann hierbei die aufsteigende warme Luft nicht jedes Modul erreichen, da die in der Mitte angeordneten Module eine Zuführung warmer Luft zu den im oberen Bereich angeordneten Modulen 3 verhindern; auch werden die im unteren Bereich des Gehäuses 2 angeordneten Module 3 nicht ausreichend beheizt, da die warme Luft nach oben strömt. Wie bereits erläutert, ist ein Beheizen der an der Tür 4 des Gehäuses 2 angebrachten Module 3 im Betrieb bei geöffneter Tür 4 in nachteiliger Weise nicht möglich.Due to the arrangement of the modules 3 within the housing 2 in this case the rising warm air can not reach each module, since the modules arranged in the middle prevent a supply of warm air to the modules arranged in the upper region 3; Also, the arranged in the lower part of the housing 2 modules 3 are not heated sufficiently, since the warm air flows upwards. As already explained, a heating of the attached to the door 4 of the housing 2 modules 3 is not possible in operation with the door open in a disadvantageous manner.

Gemäß der Erfindung und bezugnehmend auf Figur 2 wird eine Vorrichtung zum Beheizen des Verkaufsautomaten 1 vorgeschlagen, die bei dem gezeigten Beispiel einen an einer beliebigen freien Stelle innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 angeordneten Heizlüfter 6 aufweist, dessen Luftauslass mittels eines Luftführungsbauteils 7 mit einem Lufteinlass 8 eines Rohrsystems 9 umfassend mehrere Rohre 11 strömungstechnisch verbunden ist.According to the invention and referring to FIG. 2 a device for heating the vending machine 1 is proposed, which in the example shown has a arranged at any free point within the housing 2 heater 6, the air outlet by means of an air guide member 7 with an air inlet 8 of a pipe system 9 comprising a plurality of tubes 11 is fluidly connected ,

Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, weist das Rohrsystem 9 mehrere Luftauslässe 10 auf, wobei jedem zu beheizenden Modul 3 des Verkaufsautomaten ein Luftauslass 10 zugeordnet ist, der dem jeweiligen zu beheizenden Modul 3 des Verkaufsautomaten durch den Heizlüfter 6 erwärmte Luft zuführt.How out FIG. 2 it can be seen, the pipe system 9 has a plurality of air outlets 10, wherein each module to be heated 3 of the vending machine is associated with an air outlet 10, which supplies the respective heated module 3 of the vending machine through the fan heater 6 heated air.

Ferner wird bei dem in Figur 2 gezeigten Beispiel ein Rohr 11 des Rohrsystems 9 entlang einer Seiteninnenwand 12 des Gehäuses 2 über die Bandseite der Tür 4 des Gehäuses zu der Innenseite der Tür 4 des Gehäuses 2 geführt, derart, dass durch den Heizlüfter 6 erwärmte Luft über Luftauslässe 10 den an der Tür 4 angebrachten zu beheizenden Modulen 3 zugeführt wird.Further, in the in FIG. 2 Example shown a pipe 11 of the pipe system 9 along a side inner wall 12 of the housing 2 on the hinge side of the door 4 of the housing to the inside of the door 4 of the housing 2, such that through the fan heater 6 heated air through air outlets 10 to the door 4 attached to be heated modules 3 is supplied.

In Figur 3 ist ein mit dem Lufteinlass 8 des Rohrsystems 9 strömungstechnisch verbundenes Rohr 11 dargestellt, welches mit einem T-Rohrstück 11' umfassend zwei Luftauslässe 10, 10' verbindbar ist. Der Luftauslass 10 ist hierbei mittels eines Stopfens 13 lösbar versiegelt; der Stopfen kann entfernt werden, wenn ein weiteres Modul durch den Luftauslass 10 beheizt werden soll. Bei dem gezeigten Beispiel ist in Strömungsrichtung der warmen Luft betrachtet vor dem Luftauslass 10' ein Ventilator vorgesehen, welcher die Zuführung der erwärmten Luft zum dem Luftauslass 10 zugeordneten Modul beschleunigt. Anstelle eines T-Rohrstücks können in Abhängigkeit von den geometrischen Gegebenheiten und von der Anzahl und Anordnung der zu beheizenden Module weitere Rohrstücke verwendet werden, z.B. Rohrstücke mit einem Einlass und mehr als zwei Auslässen.In FIG. 3 a fluidically connected to the air inlet 8 of the pipe system 9 pipe 11 is shown, which with a T-pipe section 11 'comprising two air outlets 10, 10' is connectable. The air outlet 10 is in this case releasably sealed by means of a plug 13; the plug can be removed if another module is heated by the air outlet 10 shall be. In the example shown, in the direction of flow of the warm air, viewed in front of the air outlet 10 ', a fan is provided which accelerates the supply of the heated air to the module associated with the air outlet 10. Instead of a T-piece of pipe depending on the geometric conditions and on the number and arrangement of the modules to be heated further pieces of pipe can be used, for example, pipe sections with an inlet and more than two outlets.
