BULK TOOTHPASTE VENDING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/124055
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A bulk toothpaste vending apparatus comprising an enclosure (1), a toothpaste injecting apparatus (2), a currency identifier (3), and a controller (4). The toothpaste injecting apparatus (2) comprises bottled toothpaste (5), a power component (6), and a bulk toothpaste tube (7). The power apparatus (6) is connected to the bottled toothpaste (5). The bottled toothpaste (5) is connected to the bulk toothpaste tube (7). The controller (4) is provided with a first sensor (24). The controller (4) is connected via control cables to the power component (6), to the first sensor (24), and to the currency identifier (3). When in use, the currency identifier (3) transmits a currency-inserted signal to the controller (4), the controller (4) controls the power component (6) to squeeze the toothpaste in the bottled toothpaste (5) into the bulk toothpaste tube (7), when the bulk toothpaste tube (7) is fully filled with the toothpaste, the first sensor (24) transmits a toothpaste-full signal to the controller (4), and the controller (4) controls the power component (6) to stop squeezing the toothpaste. Utilization of the bulk toothpaste vending apparatus allows for injection of new toothpaste into the bulk toothpaste tube (7) depleted of toothpaste, thus allowing reuse of the bulk toothpaste tube (7), and facilitating energy consumption, emission reduction, and environmental protection.
