专利摘要:
Automatic vending machine for butane cylinders. Constituted by a metallic structure of steel tubes arranged in a rack forming gaps of sufficient size to each house a butane cylinder, each hole being frontally closed by means of a roof anchored to the structure through the opening and closing axis, except one of the hollows that is closed by blind door with window where the housing of the tab corresponding to the purse of the mechanism for payment appears, the axis of said door being fixed vertically to the structure by upper and lower bearings for its rotation while the lock in the the opposite side to the shaft consists of an opaque closure where it houses a metal ring, being found in the crosspiece of the metal structure where the door leaf fits an electric lock that receives said metal ring for its closure.

专利说明:

It is housed in a compartment, unlike the current cages in which to obtain a full bottle, in many cases, several empty ones must be handled. The bottle vending machine itself guides the customer electronically in the process, facilitating the sale.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Currently the sale of butane bottles at specific points of sale such as gas stations, which constitute the majority, is done manually, that is, after payment by the buyer at the window of the establishment, the operator has to move to the place where the bottles are stored to open the cage where they are stored, deliver the full bottle and deposit the empty one.
In the state of the art cages consisting of metal container structures, used for the sale of butane cylinders in gas stations and authorized centers are known. Only this type of iron cages are known where the bottles are manually stacked, making it necessary for an operator to open them and change the empty product to the full one, with the consequent loss of associated productivity and the appearance of other problems arisen from the manipulation of the bottle.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The automatic butane bottle vending machine object of the present invention is constituted from a metal structure formed by a steel tube similar to a shelf with a series of holes for locating the butane bottles. Each hole is closed by a door and an electronically managed lock. Inside it, some sensors indicate if the cylinder is empty and if the door is fully closed. In one of the holes a blind door is installed where the device is located to pay the amount of the butane bottle, as well as the electric paramenta.
The operation is based on the payment of the amount of the butane bottle in the manner established for each case, then the customer deposits the empty butane bottle in the hole intended for it, and when the door of that hole is closed, the electronic circuit detects the placement of the empty bottle and the closing of the door, then another hole is opened where the customer can find the full bottle at his disposal.
The butane bottle vending machine object of the present invention can be constructed of metal, or in a different embodiment of PVC, or of a metal alloy.
In different embodiments of the present invention the payment may not only be made by coins or cash bills, but by tokens, remote control, card, mobile or NFC.
In a different embodiment the electrical energy necessary for the vending machine is supplied by at least one solar panel of photovoltaic energy.
In different embodiments, the machine will be equipped with an empty bottle recognition, infrared devices, Wi-Fi, etc. for example to establish a connection system with the distributor or the seller of the bottles, as well as a warning when the vending machine is semi-empty, remote control systems, video cameras, surveillance, etc.
The machine can also have a variable number of holes, depending on the need of each customer, and the maximum number of cylinders allowed by law.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
For a better understanding of the present specification, drawings are provided which represent a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
A preferred embodiment of the automatic vending machine for butane cylinders object of the present invention can be based on a metal structure (1) of steel tubes arranged in shelves forming holes (3) of sufficient dimensions to each house a
5 butane bottle. Each hole is closed frontally by means of a swing (2) anchored to the structure through the opening and closing axes (4) of said swing (2), minus one of the holes (3) that is closed by a blind door with a window where shows the accommodation of the card corresponding to the purse of the payment mechanism (6). One time
10 introduced said tab automatically opens one of said hinges so that the buyer can freely have a full butane bottle.
The axis of said swing (4) is vertically attached to the structure (1) by upper and lower bearings (7) for its rotation while the lock on the opposite side (5) to the axis consists of an opaque closure where the metal ring (8). In the crossbar of the metal structure (1) where the swing (2) fits there is an electric lock (9) that receives said metal ring (8) guaranteeing the closure. Said electric lock (9) is unlocked by an electric impulse caused at the moment when
20 the buyer deposits the card in the wallet (6).
In different embodiments of the present invention, any material for manufacturing the doors or structure, different automation systems, any payment system, and any external termination are also protected. Also the machine can have a number of gaps
25 variable, depending on the need of each client, and the maximum number of bottles allowed by law.
