摘要:
The invention relates to a safety apparatus for controlling operation of functional equipment having movable parts, said apparatus configured to use a camera to view and cause detection of a safety related event in a field of view of the camera. The device is useful in a reverse vending machine (RVM) for receiving, handling, sorting and storing returnable items or objects. The RVM includes an item supporting, rotating, sorting and conveyor unit, an upwardly oriented storage chamber for such items, the safety apparatus to avoid operational hazards, a camera aided detection device for detecting at least one of a bar code on and other characteristics, e.g. contour, of an item, a simplified token system , and a drive system with a releasable power coupling for operating the sorting device and a further storage device.

The invention relates to a drive device in a reverse vending machine to forcibly drive at least one handling unit therein suited to handle empty packaging in the form of empty beverage containers. The handling unit is free of any electrical wiring or electrical components, is configured to be fully cleanable through use of water or other cleaning agent, and has a mechanical drive which is connected, via a mechanically separable power transfer coupling, to a separate electrically powered drive installed on a wall, a framework or part of a cabinet of the return vending machine. Further, the handling unit is locatable in a releasable manner inside the cabinet.

The invention relates to a device for enabling camera viewing of characteristic features of an object in order to subsequently enable processing of signals related to viewed features. The device uses a single camera and first and second light sources. The device is useful in a reverse vending machine (RVM) for receiving, handling, sorting and storing returnable items or objects. The RVM includes an item supporting, rotating, sorting and conveyor unit, an upwardly oriented storage chamber for such items, a safety apparatus to avoid operational hazards, said camera aided detection device for detecting at least one of a bar code on and other characteristics, e.g. contour, of an item, a simplified token system , and a drive system with a releasable power coupling for operating the sorting device and a further storage device.
