[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a weight-type filling device that fills a container with articles by a predetermined weight.
[0002]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As a weight type filling device, there is a device equipped with a storage hopper, a supply device, and a weighing hopper. In this filling device, articles are initially supplied from the storage hopper to the weighing hopper by a supply device with a large supply amount. When an article of a constant weight is supplied to the weighing hopper, it is supplied to the weighing hopper by a supply device with a small supply amount in order to improve the filling accuracy. When the weight of the article in the weighing hopper reaches a predetermined value that allows for a head drop, the supply of the article is stopped. After the weighing hopper is stabilized, the weight of the article is accurately measured, and then the article is discharged into the packaging container.
[0003]
In this filling device, the filling speed is increased by supplying most of the predetermined amount to be filled in the packaging container to the weighing hopper with a large supply amount. However, if the filling is performed with only a large supply amount, the impact disturbance when the article falls on the weighing hopper is large, and the variation in the supply flow rate and the drop amount are large, so that the filling with high accuracy cannot be performed. Therefore, after the supply of most of the articles is completed, the supply amount is reduced, and the article weight in the weighing hopper reaches the predetermined value while waiting for the impact disturbance at the large supply flow rate to converge. The supply is stopped, and a predetermined amount of articles including the drop amount is filled in the weighing hopper. However, it takes a long time to fill with a small supply while waiting for the weighing hopper to stabilize. In addition, since a large weight article is measured by a single weighing device provided in the weighing hopper, the natural vibration period of the weighing device becomes longer, and the influence of the time constant of the filter for smoothing the weight signal is also affected. Including the factors that slow down the response time of the weight signal.
[0004]
A weight-type filling device that attempts to solve these problems is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-55542. In this apparatus, a primary filling apparatus and a secondary filling apparatus are provided, and a scale is incorporated in each. A weighing hopper provided in the primary filling device measures and fills most of the predetermined weight of the article, and measures the weight value. The difference between the predetermined weight value and the filling weight in the primary filling device is determined as the secondary filling amount of the secondary filling device. The secondary filling device is of the discharge weighing type, and when the article from the primary filling device is discharged into the packaging container, the secondary filling amount of the article from the secondary filling device is transferred to the packaging container. Discharged.
[0005]
In this weight type filling device, an attempt is made to shorten the entire filling time. However, (1) the primary filling weight is large, (2) since it is necessary to measure the primary filling, it takes time to supply and fill while suppressing the occurrence of a large impact disturbance, and (3) Due to the presence of a filter response delay due to a long natural vibration period, it is necessary to allow a long primary filling time. Also, if the accurate static weighing value is not measured after the primary filling is completed and the weighing hopper is stable, the secondary filling amount cannot be determined, and there is still no solution to complete shortening of the filling time. There are many problems to be done.
[0006]
In addition to these two methods, there is a combination weigher that can fill a container with articles at high speed. In this combination weigher, articles are divided and supplied to a plurality of weighing hoppers. Measure the weight of each article. By combining these weights, a combination whose total value is equal to or close to the target weight value is selected. The article is discharged from the weighing hopper constituting the selected combination into the packaging container. In this combination weigher, if the amount of articles supplied to the weighing hopper is appropriately set, the articles can be filled into the packaging container with high accuracy within an extremely short time.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the combination weigher, the article is a granular material in which the weight of one grain such as coffee powder or granulated sugar is smaller than the filling accuracy to be achieved in consideration of the accuracy of the weighing hopper weighing instrument. In addition, the weight of a single granular material does not affect the achievement of a predetermined amount of accuracy. For such articles, the accuracy of the selected combination determines the filling accuracy.
[0008]
However, when the powder is filled with the two types of weight type filling devices as described above, the filling accuracy is determined by the accuracy of the balance used in these devices, and is guaranteed by the accuracy of the balance. The merchandise sold is in circulation. Therefore, when the combination weigher is used for filling the granular material, the filling time can be shortened. However, since the filling accuracy is assured by the combination accuracy that is in principle lower than the weighing accuracy of the scale, it has been impossible to produce a product with the same accuracy as the above-described two types of weight-type filling devices.
[0009]
As a method for dealing with this, it is conceivable to increase the number of weighing hoppers, or to provide a memory hopper below the weighing hoppers to increase the number of articles to be combined, thereby improving the combination accuracy. . However, in this method, the cost is high, and even if the combination accuracy is improved, the accuracy of the above-described two methods is not as high as the measurement accuracy obtained by a single scale.
[0010]
An object of this invention is to provide the weight type filling apparatus which can be filled with articles | goods at high speed and with high precision.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The weight type filling device according to the present invention includes a primary filling means and a secondary filling means. The primary filling means fills the container with an article having a weight equal to or close to a predetermined primary filling weight. The goods For example Uses small materials, fluids, etc. compared to the accuracy that requires each weight, such as granular materials can do. The secondary filling means fills the container with an article having a secondary filling weight corresponding to a difference between the weight of the article to be filled and a predetermined target weight larger than this in a discharge metering manner. In particular, the primary filling means is constituted by a combination weigher.
[0012]
In the weight-type filling apparatus configured as described above, since the primary filling means is constituted by a combination weigher, the time required for the primary filling can be shortened, and the total weight of the articles selected by the combination weigher is It can be very close to the target weight. The secondary filling with respect to the difference between the target weight and the total weight of the articles discharged by the combination scale can reduce the time required for filling by relatively reducing the weight of the secondary filling. In addition, since the discharge metering system has a small impact disturbance applied to the metering unit and a small amount of discharge, the discharge flow rate can be reduced, so that high metering accuracy can be obtained. Furthermore, the weighing accuracy of the articles finally discharged after the secondary filling is determined by the weighing accuracy of the weighing means used in the discharge weighing method. The weighing accuracy of the weighing means is higher than the combination accuracy of the combination weigher. Accordingly, it is possible to fill a container with a predetermined weight of goods with high accuracy and high speed.
[0013]
Above The combination weigher and the secondary filling means share a plurality of article storage means for storing articles. is doing. For example, a weighing hopper or a memory hopper can be used as the article storage means. In this case, the combination weigher variously combines the weights of the articles in each article storage means, and performs a combination calculation means for executing a combination calculation for selecting a combination whose total value is equal to or close to the primary filling weight from these combinations; Discharge control means for discharging the articles constituting the selected combination from the article storage means in which they are stored is provided. The secondary filling means includes a secondary filling article storage means composed of at least one of the article storage means in which articles other than the articles constituting the selected combination are stored. Discharge weighing calculation means for discharging the article until it is reduced by a weight substantially equal to the filling weight.
[0014]
In this case, since the article storage means is shared by the primary filling means and the secondary filling means, there is no need to provide primary and secondary filling article storage means. In particular, since a combination weigher is used as the primary filling means, there is an article accommodating means that does not necessarily participate in the combination. This can be used as a secondary filling means, the utilization efficiency of the equipment can be increased, and the cost can be reduced.
[0015]
Furthermore, the discharge of articles from each article storage means can be performed via the discharge flow rate variable means. As the discharge flow rate varying means, for example, when the article is a granular material, a gate that is provided in the article accommodating means in which the granular material is accommodated and whose opening degree can be adjusted can be used. Moreover, when using a fluid as an article, the discharge flow rate varying means can be a flow rate adjustable valve provided in the article accommodating means in which the fluid is accommodated. The article is discharged from the article storage means containing the article selected by the combination calculating means at a large flow rate via the discharge flow rate varying means, and from the secondary filling article storage means at a low flow rate via the discharge flow rate varying means. The article is discharged.
[0016]
When comprised in this way, it can respond even if any of each article | item accommodation means becomes the object for combination scales or a secondary filling means.
[0017]
Further, the primary filling weight is smaller than the target weight, and is selected as a flow rate that can be discharged by the discharge flow rate variable means. If comprised in this way, the articles | goods always discharged | emitted from a secondary filling means become the weight which can be controlled by a secondary filling means, and reproducibility becomes favorable.
[0018]
Or an article can be newly accommodated in the article accommodating means from which the article is discharged by the combination scale among the article accommodating means. In this case, the combination calculation is performed on the articles in each article storage unit. As the secondary filling article storage means, an article storage means is selected which stores the heaviest thing among the articles not selected for the combination.
[0019]
The most heaviest item that was not selected in the combination weigher may not be selected in the next combination calculation. The possibility of selection in the combination calculation is increased, and the retention of the article can be prevented.
[0020]
Further, a plurality of secondary filling article accommodating means can be provided. In this case, the plurality of secondary filling article storage means bears an article corresponding to the secondary filling weight. The burden of the secondary filling weight can be equal, or can be assigned in proportion to the weight of the articles in each secondary filling article storage means.
[0021]
If comprised in this way, even when secondary filling weight is large, for example, secondary filling can be performed in a short time. Furthermore, when many secondary fillings are performed from one article storage means, there is a high possibility that this article storage means will not be selected in the subsequent combination calculation, but this can also be prevented. .
[0022]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in FIG. 3, the weight-type filling device according to one embodiment of the present invention has article supply means, for example, a dispersion feeder 2. The dispersion feeder 2 disperses the articles supplied from above, for example, powder particles, specifically, coffee powder, granulated sugar, and the like. A plurality of article conveying means, for example, a linearly moving feeder 4 are arranged outward along the periphery of the dispersion feeder 2. These linear feeders 4 convey the articles supplied from the dispersion feeder 2 toward the outside.
[0023]
Storage means, for example, a supply hopper 6 is disposed at the outer end of these linear feeders 4 corresponding to each linear feeder 4. These supply hoppers 6 are supplied with almost a predetermined amount of articles by appropriately controlling the operation of the linear feeder 4. These supply hoppers 6 are provided with discharge means, for example, a discharge gate 6a. By opening the discharge gate 6a, articles can be supplied downward.
[0024]
Under these supply hoppers 6, article storage means, for example, weighing hoppers 8 are arranged correspondingly. Each weighing hopper 8 is provided with weighing means, for example, a load cell 10. The weight of the articles supplied to each weighing hopper 8 is weighed by the load cell 10, and a weighing signal representing the weighing value is generated by the load cell 10.
[0025]
Each weighing hopper 8 is provided with discharge flow rate variable means, for example, discharge gates 12a and 12b. These discharge gates 12a and 12b are configured such that a discharge port formed in the lower part of the weighing hopper 8 can be opened and closed by a driving means (not shown) such as an air cylinder or a stepping motor. In particular, the opening degree can be changed.
[0026]
That is, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, in the non-discharge state, the discharge gates 12a and 12b are overlapped, and the article is not discharged from the discharge port. However, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a cut 14 is formed at the center of the tip of the discharge gate 12b. This cut 14 is a minute one through which an article such as a granular material can pass. In the closed state, the cut 14 overlaps with the discharge gate 12 a and is closed, and no article is discharged through the cut 14.
[0027]
As shown in FIGS. 5 (c) and 5 (d), in the small discharge state in which both discharge gates 12a and 12b are slightly opened, the discharge gates 12a and 12b still close the discharge port of the weighing hopper 8, 14 can be opened, and the article can be discharged at a minute flow rate through the notch 14.
[0028]
As shown in FIGS. 5 (e) and 5 (f), in the large discharge state where both the discharge gates 12a and 12b are opened widely, the discharge port of the weighing hopper 8 is completely opened, and the article is discharged at a large flow rate.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 3, the articles discharged from the respective weighing hoppers 8 are discharged to the collecting hopper 18 through the chute 16, gathered here, and packaged containers (not shown) arranged below the collecting hopper 18. )).
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 4, the weighing signal of each load cell 10 is supplied to a weight measuring device 20 provided corresponding to each load cell 10. In each weight measuring device 20, the weighing signal from the corresponding load cell 10 is amplified by the amplifier 22. The vibration component contained in the amplified weighing signal is removed by the filter 24 and converted into a digital weighing signal by an analog / digital converter (A / D) converter 26. The digital weighing signal is supplied to the control means, for example, the CPU 30 via the input / output device 28 and further stored in the storage means, for example, the memory 32. Since the digital weighing signal includes the weight of the weighing hopper 8 (tare weight) and the like, arithmetic processing such as subtraction of the weight by the CPU 30 is performed, and the digital weighing signal representing the true article weight is Stored in the memory 32. Hereinafter, the digital weighing signal representing the true article weight is referred to as an article digital weighing signal.
[0031]
The article digital weighing signal from each weight measuring device 20 is supplied to the main arithmetic unit 34. The main arithmetic unit 34 has control means such as a CPU 36 and storage means such as a memory 38. Each memory digital weighing signal is stored in the memory 38 via the input / output device 40 and the CPU 36. The CPU 36 performs combination calculation processing on each of the article digital weighing signals according to a program stored in the memory 38, and determines the weighing hopper 8 that discharges all the articles accommodated therein. Then, the article is discharged from the selected weighing hopper 8. That is, primary filling is performed.
[0032]
Further, one weighing hopper 8 is selected from the weighing hoppers 8 not selected. For example, the one with the largest article digital weighing signal is selected. Secondary filling is performed in the weight measuring device 20 in a discharge metering system in which the articles inside the selected weighing hopper 8 are discharged until the weight thereof is reduced by a predetermined weight.
[0033]
That is, the CPU 36 of the main arithmetic unit 34 constitutes a primary filling means together with a part of the weighing hopper 8, and the CPU 30 of the weighing apparatus 20 together with a part of the remaining weighing hopper 8 (secondary filling article accommodating means) A secondary filling means is constituted. The primary filling means includes a combination calculation means and a discharge control means, and the secondary filling means includes a discharge metering calculation means.
[0034]
The main arithmetic unit 34 is provided with display means such as a monitor 42 and an operator such as a keyboard 44. In the monitor 42, for example, as a result of the combination calculation, from which weighing hopper 8, how much of an article has been discharged, and from what quantity of unselected weighing hoppers, how much of an article has been discharged. Etc. are displayed. The keyboard 44 is used for setting various weights as described later, for example.
[0035]
Hereinafter, processing performed by the CPU 36 will be described. Now, in this weight type filling apparatus, a target weight Wt to be filled in one container is set by the keyboard 44. Further, a total weight (hereinafter referred to as boundary weight) Wu of combinations to be selected in the combination calculation performed by the CPU 36 is set by the keyboard 44. Wu is slightly smaller than Wt (Wu <Wt), and an article having a weight corresponding to the difference can be supplied when the discharge gates 12a and 12b of the weighing hopper 8 are in a small discharge state, and the difference is set. ing. Further, when the number of weighing hoppers 8 is N, in each of the weighing hoppers 8, a combination in which the value closest to Wu is the total weight is obtained in the combination of M (M <n). The dispersion feeder 2 and the rectilinear feeder 4 are set so that articles of approximately Wu / M are supplied. In the combination calculation, a combination whose total weight is equal to or closest to Wu is selected.
[0036]
When the initial setting is performed in this manner and the article is supplied to each weighing hopper 8, as shown in FIG. 2, an article digital weighing signal is generated by each weight measuring device 20 (step S2). It is transmitted to the CPU 36 of the arithmetic unit 34 (step S4). The CPU 36 executes all M combinations of the N article digital weighing signals as the combination calculation means, and obtains the total weight of each combination (step S6). As shown in FIG. 6, the total weight at this time has a normal distribution in which Wu is gradually reduced to a maximum or small direction. The allowable accuracy of this weight type filling device is defined as Wt ± e. e is a value smaller than the difference between Wu and Wt. In this way, Wu is set when the combination with the total weight that is within Wt ± e is selected. However, the secondary filling is not necessary, but the total accuracy is too close to Wt. When a combination having a weight is selected, it is difficult to control the secondary filling weight when the discharging gates 12a and 12b are in a small discharging state if the secondary filling is performed so that the filling weight is within Wt-e. Because it becomes.
[0037]
As a result of the combination calculation, it is determined whether the total weight of the selected combination is within Wt ± e (step S8). When this determination is selected to be yes, the CPU 36 selects the selected combination. The discharge gates 12a and 12b of the weighing hopper 8 that are configured are brought into a large discharge state (step S10). That is, it functions as a discharge control means. As a result, the packaging container is filled with articles having a total weight within Wt ± e. Accordingly, the secondary filling is not performed, the articles are supplied from the corresponding supply hopper 6 to the empty weighing hopper 8, and the combination calculation is performed again. Articles having a weight of approximately Wu / M are supplied from the corresponding linear feeder 4 to the empty supply hopper 8.
[0038]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S8 that the total weight is not within Wt ± e, secondary filling is necessary. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the CPU 36 has a total weight smaller than Wu. A combination having a weight wck closest to is selected, and the discharge gates 12a and 12b of the weighing hopper 8 constituting the selected combination are brought into a large discharge state (step S12). As a result, the article whose total weight is wck is discharged toward the packaging container.
[0039]
The CPU 36 selects the weight measuring device 20 having the largest article digital weighing signal among the remaining (NM) weighing hoppers 8 not participating in the combination (step S14). Further, the CPU 36 calculates wt = Wt−wck, determines the weight wt to be secondary filled, and transmits wt to the weight measuring device 20 selected in step S14 (step S16).
[0040]
Then, the CPU 30 of the weight measuring device 20 selected in Step S14 calculates Wa = Wx-wt, assuming that the article digital weighing signal of the selected weighing hopper is Wx, and selects the selected weighing hopper. The remaining weight Wa after discharging 8 to wt of the article is determined (step S18). The CPU 30 sets the discharge gates 12a and 12b of the selected weighing hopper 8 to the small discharge state (step S20). Further, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the remaining weight of the selected weighing hopper 8 is equal to or less than Wa (step S22). If this determination is NO, step S22 is repeated until it becomes YES. That is, the small discharge state is maintained. If the determination in step S22 is yes, the discharge gates 12a and 12b are closed (step S24). That is, discharge weighing (residual weighing) is performed. Thus, the CPU 30 functions as a discharge metric (residual metric) calculation means.
[0041]
Thereafter, the weighing hopper 8 which has been emptied is supplied with an article having a weight of approximately Wu / M from the corresponding supply hopper 6, and the combination calculation is performed again. Further, articles are supplied from the corresponding linear feeder 4 to the empty supply hopper 8.
[0042]
As described above, this weight-type filling device secondary-fills the shortage wt with respect to the target weight Wt of the primary-filled article. However, the primary filling is performed by parallel weighing with a plurality of scales and by a combination weighing method. Therefore, as compared with the primary filling by the metering filling method in which the supply flow rate is increased as in the conventional case, the primary filling weight wck can be made close to Wt in a short time. Accordingly, the secondary filling is performed by discharge weighing. However, the amount of articles to be discharged and measured is extremely small, and not only the time required for the primary filling but also the time required for the discharge filling of the secondary filling is disclosed in JP-A-7-55542. It can be shortened compared with the technique currently disclosed by gazette. Moreover, since the secondary filling weight is small, the secondary filling can be performed with almost no delay from the timing when the article is discharged from the weighing hopper 8 selected by the combination calculation.
[0043]
In addition, since the article to be secondarily filled is the one in the weighing hopper 8 that has not been selected, there is no need to separately prepare a discharge weighing apparatus for secondary filling. Furthermore, since the secondary filling weight is small, the weight loss of the articles in the weighing hopper 8 responsible for discharge weighing is small. Therefore, the weighing hopper 8 in charge of the discharge weighing can participate in the next combination calculation without reducing the combination probability. In particular, since the article is discharged from the weighing hopper 8 having the largest weight, the weight is reduced, so that the possibility of being selected in the subsequent combination calculation is increased, which helps to prevent the article from staying.
[0044]
In addition, the weight of the article finally filled in the packaging container is performed by secondary filling in which the primary filling weight obtained as a result of the combination calculation is corrected by discharge weighing performed using a weighing device. The accuracy can be increased compared to the case where the combination weigher is used alone.
[0045]
When the number of the weighing hoppers 8 is reduced, the probability that the total weight is close to Wu is reduced as compared with the case where the number of the weighing hoppers 8 is large, and the secondary filling weight wt is a relatively large value. Sometimes. In this case, wt is not borne on one weighing hopper 8 that is not selected, but wt can be borne on a plurality of weighing hoppers 8 that are not selected. For example, among the weighing hoppers 8 that are not selected, the one that contains the most items and the one that contains the next most items can be burdened by wt / 2. In this case, if wt / 2 is transmitted to the weight measuring devices 20 corresponding to these two weighing hoppers 8 and the two weighing hoppers 8 are simultaneously discharged and weighed by these weight measuring devices 20, the discharge weighing time is reached. Can be shortened. However, it is necessary to prevent wt / 2 from becoming a small value that cannot control the discharge metering with high accuracy.
[0046]
Of course, three or more weighing hoppers 8 may be charged with wt. In addition, when two or more weighing hoppers 8 are burdened with wt, it is not necessary to equalize the burden weight. For example, wt is proportionally distributed according to the weight of the articles in each weighing hopper 8 to be borne. Also good.
[0047]
In the above embodiment, only the weighing hopper 8 is used as the article storage means. However, a memory hopper is provided below each weighing hopper 8, and after the articles in each weighing hopper 8 are weighed, the memory hopper has been weighed. The articles are transferred to the weighing hopper 8 which has been emptied, the articles are newly supplied and weighed, and the combination calculation is performed on the weights of the articles of the weighing hoppers 8 and the memory hoppers. Good. In this case, each weighing hopper 8 is configured so that the articles can be transferred to the corresponding memory hopper and can be discharged directly to the collecting hopper 18. Of course, each weighing hopper 8 also constitutes a discharge gate so that it can be switched between a large discharge state and a small discharge state.
[0048]
In the above embodiment, a granular material is used as an article, but it can also be used for a fluid such as a liquid. In this case, a container for storing fluid is used as the article storage means without using the weighing hopper. Further, instead of the discharge gate, a valve capable of changing the flow rate is used.
[0049]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when a predetermined weight of an article is filled into a container by the primary filling means and the secondary filling means, the combination weighing is used as the primary filling means, and the discharge weighing is applied to the secondary filling means. Since the means is used, the article can be filled at high speed and with high accuracy.
