The related application of reference
The application requires in the 60/567th, No. 375 U.S. Provisional Application No. of registration on April 30th, 2004, and the disclosed content of this provisional application is here all with reference to quoting.
Invention field
The present invention relates generally to the material applicator, more particularly, the present invention relates to control the applicator operation to regulate the system and method that bonding agent for example etc. is applied to the material arrangements on the workpiece.
Background of invention
Applicator adopts in many different industrial applications usually, with in a series of workpiece that transmit through order on the forwarder of this applicator each, and patterns of material such as for example one or more bonding agent droplets of coating.For example, on automatic packaging conveyer line, adhesive applicator is coated to one or more amounts of hot melt thermoplastic cements or droplet on the brace of sheet material blank, wherein folding subsequently box, carton or other the packing material to be assembled into gluing combination of this brace.Hot melt thermoplastic cements is generally used in such packaging applications occasion, and wherein this class bonding agent rapid hardening time is useful.
Assembling finally is full of many products and sealing in the packing material, to form product is limited in closed container in the closed container.If this applying adhesive location is incorrect, then for example during transportation, may between this brace, there be the gap, perhaps this brace may separate, and perhaps breaks partly.Seal successional deficiency or lack and make and to lose the product sealing, and cause holding that product is all or part of seepage or destruction occur.Therefore, desirable is to apply inappropriate layout back and that do not having to survey under this packing material situation of individual inspiration this bonding agent droplet at this bonding agent.
Applicator systems on high speed speed change processing line requires the response time with applicator to be adjusted to this bonding agent is coated on one or more precalculated position.Because intrinsic machinery and electric system postpone, such applicator systems needs the response time compensation, so that this bonding agent accurately is arranged on the workpiece.This compensation is revised for being coated with the similar delay that is covered with at the moment that electric pulse is sent to this applicator by controller and bonding agent with time delays between this workpiece contact and at the termination bonding agent response time.Influence factor comprises: from this applicator to the delay that floats over working time in the air, sensor delay this workpiece is advanced, comes solenoid inductor causes in the comfortable electromagnetically-operated applicator valve delay and cause owing to this applicator valve mechanical response time.
In a kind of conventional method that is being used for setting the response time compensation, during the system initialization or the unloading phase, the production line operator measures this bonding agent position by rule of thumb, and manually imports the response time compensation.When operator measuring position improperly, during perhaps improperly to controller programming, this program has error most probably.In case set the response time compensation, can cause that in the variation on the operating parameter (i.e. variation on adhesive pressure, adhesive viscosities or production line speed) not wishing that bonding agent is arranged on workpiece is offset.In process of iteration, this operator must measure the coating position of processing and adjust the response time compensation, conforms to this precalculated position up to this coating position.This process of iteration has reduced production line throughput rate thus because it need repeat several times thereby be time taking process.
Be used for the conventional adhesive applicator automatically of high speed speed change processing line, regulate bonding agent by the monitoring system operating parameter and arrange.Automatic applicator system like this has the bonding agent sensor that the scrambler of surveying conveyor line speed, applicator, monitoring arrange at bonding agent on the workpiece and surveys having with this applicator nozzle and has the position sensor that is transmitted a workpiece part (be forward position or back along) on the known distance.The controller response of control module is controlled the operation (i.e. the opening and closing of this applicator solenoid electric valve) of this applicator from the signal of scrambler, bonding agent sensor and position sensor.
This applicator valve is opened to discharge bonding agent by the applicator nozzle under preassigned pattern in this system control device unit, and wherein this bonding agent is fed to this applicator under pressure.This valve is closed in addition so that stop discharging from the bonding agent of nozzle in this system control device unit.The bonding agent of this discharging and production line speed are synchronous, to realize the suitable layout of bonding agent on this workpiece.Define the length of dispensing pattern of adhesive during the valve open with production line speed.Signal from scrambler and position sensor to the system control device unit determines to open and close the trigger pip time of applicator.This bonding agent sensor is surveyed the physical location of this applying adhesive.
During the system start-up stage, the operator selects the initial value of response time compensation from chart or other index, and these initial values is input in the system control device device of automatic adhesive applicator.Process of iteration is used for adjusting this response time compensation, arranges so that accurate bonding agent to be provided.This response time compensation is drafted along with production line speed linearly and is changed.Yet the method for this expectation is ignored some variations on the contingent production line speed (promptly quickening).The method of this expectation has been ignored some variations on other operating parameters such as adhesive pressure and temperature for example in addition.
Therefore, desirablely be, a kind of such improved control system and method are provided, be used for the layout at alterable height speed processing line adjusted bonding agent on conveying workpieces, described system and method can be considered the variation on operating parameters such as adhesive pressure, bonding agent temperature and production line speed for example more accurately.
