GLASS DISPENSER FOR BEVERAGE VENDING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G07F11/12 

FIELD: glass dispenser.

SUBSTANCE: dispenser (1) of glasses, containing a glass holder turret (3), containing a plurality of columns (5), in which the corresponding stacks of glasses (2) are located, and each of which is equipped with a device (10) connected to it for releasing glasses, designed to separate individual glasses (2) from a stack of glasses (2); and an electronically controlled drive assembly (7) comprising the first electric drive (21) for rotating the cup holder turret (3) and the second electric drive (11) for driving the cup separation devices (10) of the columns (5). The dispenser (1) is further comprised of an electronic control system (50) containing a sensor system (51) configured to output electrical signals to determine the angular position of the cup holder turret (3), and an electronic control unit (52) electrically connected to the sensor system (51) for receiving electrical output signals, and with the first and second actuators for applying electrical commands to them. The sensor system (51) contains a magnetic device (53) of the angular position sensor, configured to output electrical signals that allow the electronic control unit (52) to determine the absolute angular position of the turret (3) of the cup holder, and containing a diametrically magnetized ring magnet (54), mounted on the turret (3) of the cup holder, in an axially fixed position coaxially with the axis (6) of rotation of the turret (3) of the cup holder so that the diametrically magnetized ring magnet (54) rotates together with the turret (3) of the cup holder; and a magnetic angle sensor (55) positioned in a fixed position next to the ring magnet (54) in a plane of the ring magnet transverse to the rotation axis (6) so that the magnetic angle sensor (55) outputs electrical signals indicative of the absolute angular position of the magnetic field generated by the ring magnet (54).

EFFECT: glass dispenser is proposed.
