Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of apparatus and method for being tested in the container inspection unit.
Background technology
At production period, mode by checkout container in these unit checks the inspection unit for container (such as beverage bottle etc.) regularly, and wherein this test container has in production run and the similar test badge of the structure (for example pollutant of sidewall) that will identify.If this structure is identified, the function that then draws inspection unit is up to specification.
, for example disclosed by DE 299 10 452 U1, test bottle is provided with concentrated transponder for this reason, and this transponder comprises for the identification code that identifies uniquely test bottle.Attach troops to a unit in the control inspection of test bottle, for example sidewall inspection and attached measurement data analysis can automatically be triggered when test bottle enters in the inspection unit thus.
In addition, DE 196 46 694 A1 have described following test bottle, wherein in order to make marks at bottom section, can be set up and test badge by the reflective film of grating or metal detector identification, for example cracked being set up in the mouth region of bottle.
EP 1 938 589 B1 propose, the identification label of can electronics describing, have about the explanation of product to be filled or that filled is placed on the container, this label also have time tag, dot mark and/or about the explanation of product processing.
The structure size of following common transponder is disadvantageous, and this transponder can disturb the inspection of producing unit and/or can be constrained to picture for the container area of determining when process container.This transponder is somewhat expensive equally, thus its must from damage or other unaccommodated test containers dismantled with no damage for the purpose of reusing.In addition, transponder read relatively slow.Its memory capacity only has 4Bit usually in addition.
Known reflective film has the only memory capacity of 1Bit usually.But, this for the check system of complexity very little, especially so that the not isolabeling of distinguishing tests container reliably.
In addition, following basic problem is arranged in the above in the test bottle of mentioning and the method for testing, that is, for example the change by pollutant, damage or unwarranted manipulation can cause wrong control result on test container.The reliability of check is especially limited, when a plurality of test badges are arranged on the container.
Therefore, there is the demand for proving installation and corresponding method, utilizes in these proving installations and corresponding method the problems referred to above at least one can be avoided or can be alleviated at least.
Summary of the invention
The task utilization that the proposes device that comprises at least one test container and be used for reading the reader that is arranged on the data carrier on this test container according to claim 1 solves.Correspondingly, be used for the Recognition test container and/or be used for characterizing the test badge of at least one test container information be stored in data carrier with the form of multidimensional code.Test container is substantially corresponding to the product container that will check between the production on-stream period, for example beverage bottle.The information that will characterize on meaning of the present invention is transmission value, reflected value of position, shape and/or the size of for example test badge and/or measuring radiation etc.
Multidimensional code is preferably two-dimension code.This yard is three-dimensional in other preferred version.
Two-dimension code is interpreted as the literal of optical readable according to general effectively definition, its such as by different bars, point etc. and between them, the obvious space of boundary consists of.Opposite with the one-dimensional bar code of routine, data in this case not only along a direction encoding but along two mutually orthogonal direction encodings and/or by at least two on the whole the stacking one dimension code that can be read together consist of.The concept of this code represents the reflection of data in the situation of using the symbol of determining typically at this.
Three-dimensional code is take above-described two-dimension code as the basis.Three-dimensional coding preferably by the modulation of the information on three dimensions, is for example realized by depth modulation.Three-dimensional code especially can provide with the form of hologram.Realize having thus the code of high information density.
Alternatively, three-dimensional can spatially not provide, but provides as extra colouring information.So three-dimensional code is corresponding to the two-dimension code of polychrome.Utilize this three-dimensional code to realize that in principle Billy is with the less information density of three-dimensional code on the space.But the code of polychrome can more simply and at low cost be made.Multidimensional code also can be configured to the combination of above-described scheme.
On the contrary, two-dimension code can be integrated in the proving installation especially simply, because coded text and reader that can Application standard.
Utilization is according to code of the present invention, can place on the very little face about the information of test container.Data carrier can be placed on the position that for reader, can approach well of test container in simple mode thus and settling with the enough spacing of test badge, thereby can not stop their inspection and can avoid the process that reads and the mutually mutual interference of checking process.On the contrary with respect to known transponder and reflective film, improve in simple mode according to the memory capacity of data carrier of the present invention.The various information that is used for thus the characterization test mark and is used for the Recognition test container is stored in data carrier.
Two-dimension code especially can be used optical pickup, and camera scanner is for example mechanically read and in known manner further by electronic processing.In particular, in device according to the present invention, in continuous product stream test container by the time reading data carriers automatically.
Preferably, multidimensional code circle distribution ground multiple, especially at least five rearrangements on test container.Particularly advantageous is to be evenly distributed on the data carrier on the code circumference.In preferred flexible program, for example six codes were arranged on the test container with each circle spacing of 60 °.Therefore multidimensional code can irrespectively be read by the reader of lateral register with respect to the turned position of its main axis reliably with test container.
Data carrier is bar shaped ground and basically wholely be arranged on the test container circumferentially for example.So be provided with enough wide space between adjacent code, it for example is same large with code width in a circumferential direction at least.Code can be read device identification especially reliably thus.The data carrier of bar shaped has been simplified the correct location of single code on test container.But code according to the present invention must not be arranged on the common carrier material forcibly.
Preferably, data carrier comprises the film of the especially self-adhering type that is printed with multidimensional code.Data carrier is can be especially low-cost and make and settle in simple mode thus.Therefore the recycling according to data carrier of the present invention is unnecessary.Also can be when needed covering new data carrier by subsides about the information of test container sets up or upgrades.According to the present invention, film refer to every kind be fit to labelled can be printed by synthetic material, metal, paper material and the carrier material that consisted of by the compound substance that they form.Printing can realize making especially flexibly and cheaply of data carrier.Directly multidimensional code is printed onto on the test container and usually also can expects.
Multidimensional code is preferably the two-dimension code of standardized optical readable, especially for square matrix code, point type code or stack code.Conventional reader and read method is used thus.The square matrix code that is fit to for example is quick response codes, data matrix code, buphthalmos code, A Ziteke code, two-dimension code.Square matrix code is particularly useful for the scan method of imaging.This can realize institute's canned data do not rely on to a great extent the code orientation and read reliably.The point type code that is fit to is for example Dot Code A, snowflake code and BeeTagg.The point type code needs few especially space and little background contrast.The stack code that is fit to is for example Codablock, Code49, portable data file 417.Especially portable data file 417 also can be read by laser scanner, and this laser scanner can not be understood matrix notation.
Preferably, multidimensional code is secretly constructed contrastively with respect to the reflection horizon.The reflection horizon is the ingredient of carrier thin film especially.So its reflection characteristic is constructed especially as follows, that is, test container is when the grating, can make a distinction from the product container of less reflection or different reflections by the especially directed light reflection of representation feature.Therefore dark printing has represented institute's canned data, and by the background of the reflection of data carrier, the existence of test container for example is determined after device of the present invention.Check out thus, the test container that whether is added in the product stream is according to the rules disallowable from this product stream again after checking.In this case, the existence of test container need not reading by code be determined.
Preferably, the information on data carrier comprises that at least one attaches troops to a unit in the reference value of test badge, especially fiducial value and/or expectation value, and it is especially individually attached troops to a unit in test container.Especially also be provided with the information for the Recognition test container.Under the help of reading unit, attached reference value individually can be attached troops to a unit in test container and derive thus in case of necessity expectation value for the checkout mark according to device of the present invention.Therefore the vicious possibility of attaching troops to a unit of each reference value reduces.Information about test container and/or test badge also can be stored in other in the localities, and for example centralized storage and is attached troops to a unit after distinguish containers in test badge separately in analytic unit.
Therefore quantifiable characteristic can be attached troops to a unit in the test badge that for example imitates pollutant or damage, and this characteristic has improved the cogency of test-based examination and made handles the test result difficult.For each test container and can be with expectation value indivedual and compare for the assay of each test badge with being difficult for obscuring.In particular, each test badge can be identified and distinguish more reliably, and the error of predetermined test stone can be measured more accurately.
Preferably, reference value make test badge about its size and/or about it on test container the position and/or with the Characterization of The Interaction of the measuring radiation that be used for to check product container.For example for each test badge, size, such as length, highly, maximum gauge or similarly can be described in detail.The profile of the representation feature of test badge separately, for example geometric shapes or similarly be illustrated equally.The position of each test badge, for example radial position of the upright position of container side wall or container bottom can be with respect to for example sidewall is controlled or the explanation of the test container of bottom control quantizes according to being used for qualitatively purely.
Preferably, the interaction of test badge and measuring radiation also is designated as reference value.This interaction can be understood as for example absorbance log, transmission and/or the reflectance of measuring radiation.The test signal that deliberately affects the container inspection unit with test badge also can be illustrated or other quantifiable expected result, for example opaqueness or similarly also be illustrated.
Preferably, be provided with the test badge of a plurality of different functional areas be used to checking corresponding product container at test container.Less different test container must be kept in advance thus.By describing each test badge in detail, it can be made a distinction by the container inspection unit when check mutually, in order to avoid the interaction of not expecting and/or the interference that produce owing to each adjacent test badge.Test container is for example made by test badge is placed on the product container.
Preferably, at least one test badge is placed in the sidewall areas of test container and/or in the bottom section of test container and/or in the connecting thread zone of test container and/or in the zone of close encapsulation face.Different thermometricallies utilizes single test container to carry out or mutually combination thus.But following also is enough, that is, provide at least about the size of test badge and the reference value of measuring-signal decay.The quality inspection that is used for thus each single test container in seldom the situation of data volume has only obtained noticeable raising.This has advantages of and for example little packing density in the situation that reflective film or analog are compared especially in the situation that be stored on the identification label with reference to value.
In other particularly advantageous form of implementation, test badge is to be filled in the test container until the fluid of predetermined packed height.The unit that for example is used for identification alkali is thus checked especially reliably.The attenuation that was caused by fluid under condition according to the rules for example can measured and individually can be used as reference value for test container or expectation value illustrates.
Preferably, reference value comprises about predetermined packed height and/or because the explanation of the slotted line decay that fluid causes.This reference value can before measured and can for example individually be stored on the identification label for test container.This has realized extra security in case handle test container.
In particularly advantageous form of implementation, test container and/or test badge are provided with seal section.Seal section protection test badge is not handled.Preferably, seal section constructs as follows, that is, manipulation can cause that seal section breaks.This can visually and/or mechanically be identified.
Particularly advantageous form of implementation comprises analytic unit, it is used for determining at least one expectation value on the basis of the information that reads from data carrier, and it is used for relatively expectation value and the measurement result of determining at least one test badge in the container inspection unit.In particular, expectation value unallowed and the error that allows are distinguished and/or the error that allows is classified and/or is integrated in the error analysis about wrong possibility.
In the situation of the error of the permission that surpasses measurement result, for example export caution signal.So the operator can check defective test container and replace with when needed according to the rules test container.Error diagnosis to inspection unit can begin equally.
In addition, be configured according to the particularly advantageous form of implementation of device of the present invention, this device especially automatically places running status for the test-based examination test container by reading data carriers with the container inspection unit after registration or Recognition test container.So occured from operational mode to the automatic conversion that checks product container in particular.Therefore, the check of container inspection unit is automatically incorporated in the production run of running in the situation of the greatest improvement of the reliability of the least interference of production run and check.
In addition, the task utilization of proposition functional method of having in claim 15 check that is used for the container inspection unit of the step that limits solves.
Preferably, trigger the position that depends on test container of reading of data carrier.Can improve reading reliability thus.But freely turn round, that is to say that the method for operation that does not rely on the position also is feasible.Preferably carry out via fieldbus to the central follow-up unit that is used for container and/or to the data transmission of analytic unit from reading unit.
Preferably, test container according to the present invention is transferred in product container stream and rejects from this stream after the check of container inspection unit, wherein, do not have after the existence of disallowable according to the rules test container by especially in data carrier the optical grating reflection of representation feature determine.Stoped thus the further processing of the test container in product stream in simple mode.For this purpose, production can automatically stop or interrupting, so that the rejection test container.
In addition preferably, the method comprises the step of the comparative result of preserving single test-based examination.This can realize test-based examination on the time point in evening multianalysis or compare with the data that obtain before.
In addition, particularly advantageous form of implementation comprises the step of analyzing the comparative result on time sequencing, and this comparative result is determined on the test badge of determining or at the each other corresponding test badge of different test containers.The time curve of comparative result is via a plurality of thus, and the test-based examination that compatibly distributes in time in the product stream of running is judged.For example, the trend of the wrong function that occurs continuously can be identified, and the wrong function in the product stream of running has in fact occurred before this.Product Safety can improve thus extraly.

Embodiment
As can be seen from Figure 1 and Figure 4, on the test container 1 according to the first form of implementation of the present invention, be used for the inspection unit 23 of corresponding product container P is tested, be provided with to example a plurality of for imitation at the contamination of the regional 1a of the sidewall of test container 1 and/or the first test badge 3 of damage, be used for imitation at the second test badge 4 of contamination and/or the damage of bottom section 1b, be used for imitation at the 3rd test badge 5 of the contamination of the upper sealing surface of mouth region 1c and/or damage and be used for imitation at the contamination of the lateral sectors of mouth region 1c and/or the 4th test badge 6 of damage.Lateral sectors for example also can be threaded sections.Therefore, test badge 3 to 6 is generally used for imitating the error source on corresponding product container P.Test container 1 can be made by glass or synthetic material in known manner.
The quantity of the first test badge 3 to the 4th test badges 6 can be at random different from the example that illustrates with the position.Equally, be not that the functional area 1a to 1c of all test containers of mentioning 1 must be provided with test badge 3 to 6.In the example that illustrates, illustrate the test bottle with crown lid.It equally also can be the test bottle with threaded cap.In this case for example, the 4th test badge 6 can be for the material crack of screw thread inspection and/or can be provided with other test badges.
The first test badge 3 to the 4th test badges 6 are arranged on the test container 1 on the position that limits and with predetermined size, such as arranging in modes such as adhesion, impression, material cracks.As long as technical feasible or applicable, then test badge 3 to 6 preferably is placed in the inside of test container 1, in order to be subjected to external action to be difficult to wearing and tearing, to damage or distort.But, also can be on the outside of test container 1 produce by mechanical damage targetedly according to test badge of the present invention, for example produce by thread interruption or sealing face damage with complete and level and smooth crackle form.
The position of test badge 3 to 6 exemplarily represents by means of the upright position Y of the first test badge 3, represents by means of relevant diameter X1 and the length X 2 of the 4th test badge 6 to the example of size of test badge 3 to 6.But, the position of each test badge 3 to 6 also can for example be measured from the main axis 1d of test container 1 by position X3(side direction or radially), by around the turned position (not shown) about the main axis 1d of transporting direction or definite reference point, limit by coordinate in the view of determining of test container 1 etc.The size of each test badge 3 to 6 also can be long by the side in polygonal test badge, the main axis in oval-shaped test badge and the length of secondary axis etc. limit.
According to the error source that will imitate, test badge 3 to 6 can be transparent, translucent or opaque.Also possiblely be, different test badges be combined in the inspection area of test container 1, for example translucent and opaque test badge 4 is combined among the bottom section 1b.Preferably, test badge 3 to 6 has known, specific or absolute attenuation for the measuring radiation that is used for inspection product container P, and it can be attached troops to a unit in corresponding test badge 3 to 6, as the reference value.Measuring radiation for example is light or high frequency radiation.In addition, be provided with the data carrier 7 with two-dimension code 8 a plurality of circle distribution, substantially the same type at test container 1.These two-dimension codes comprise the information about test container 1 and test badge 3 to 6.Code 8 can be constructed on multidimensional ground equally, for example is configured to the space three-dimensional code 8 of hologram form.The below has for example described the two-dimension code 8 with two-dimensional encoded black and white pattern form typically.
As shown in Figure 2 schematically, data carrier 7 preferably by bar shaped, especially the carrier thin film 9 of self-adhering type consists of, its be printed with circle distribution the code 8(for simplicity, its printed patterns only illustrates at unique circumferential position).Can be used as bearing film 9 such as the adhesive band of routine, label etc.After printing, bearing film preferably is positioned on the whole circumference of test container 1, and wherein, for example the end of bearing film 9 is can be in the regional 9a that schematically illustrates overlapping or run into each other.Especially the material of scattering or orienting reflex is applicable to bearing film 9, this material structure be used for the bright background of two-dimension code 8, this two-dimension code 8 on the contrary with dark symbol, for example and the form of bar formation boundary contrast clearly.So read method that can Application standard.But, also can consider in principle the contrast conversion of code 8.
For better readability, settle around the main axis 1d of test container 1 in data carrier 7 preferred concentrated areas.Each code 8 distributes circumferentially, so that for according to of the present invention the inspection of test container 1 required information and test container irrespectively can be read from data carrier 7 according to the orientation of the reader 25 of attaching troops to a unit from the turned position of predetermined lateral.For this reason, code 8 in the embodiment of Fig. 2 exemplarily with in each circumference angle intervals of 60 °
Sixfold arranges.Preferably the width B with each yard 8 is the same large at least for space L between adjacent code 8.Thus, most of code 8 towards reader 25 can read especially reliably respectively.But space L can be according to the contrast of the size of code 8, the travelling speed that reads spacing, test container 1, code 8 etc. and different from above-mentioned condition.Code 8 also can be positioned on the test container 1 by bearing film 9 independently and/or the quantity of being described example to be different from.
Being used for separately, the information of each test container 1 of sign is stored in data carrier 7.In addition preferably, the reference value R of test badge 3 to 6 is stored on the identical data carrier 7.But as long as reference value R and/or reflect that especially the additional information of variable state and feature also can be stored in other any parts is guarantee itself and test container 1 attachment relationship clearly and timely.
Be used for quantization error according to reference value R of the present invention, it should be imitated in the process of test-based examination and should be identified by this inspection unit when the function of the inspection unit 23 through checking is up to specification by each test badge 3 to 6.Reference value R can be for the expectation value of the test-based examination of test container 1 or can serve as Calculating Foundation, in order to limit expectation value or other expected results of test-based examination.For example, the size of each test badge 3 to 6 and/or position can be used as reference value R and use, in order to limit definite picture pattern as expected result thus in the situation of the analysis of the imaging of test-based examination.
Reference value R comprises position description and/or size description X1 to X3, the Y of above-described test badge 3 to 6 for example and/or is used for the interactional explanation of expectation of test badge 3 to 6 and the measuring radiation that is used for checking corresponding product container P.The reference value R that is fit to for example is value or the scope of attenuation, transmission or the reflection of test badge 3 to 6, and it is occurring in the state of the inspection unit 23 of check situation up to specification.Yet, needn't forcibly be stored in it 1 of the test container according to reference value R of the present invention, but can for example carry out centralized storage and after each test container 1 of sign, attach troops to a unit in test container, for test-based examination.In addition, the information about test container 1 and reference value R can be distributed on a plurality of data carriers 7.The following flexible program that is described is particularly advantageous, and wherein information exchange is crossed and read unique two-dimension code 8 and provide.For this reason especially, standardized two-dimensional matrix code, for example data matrix code is fit to.
The size of the first test badge 3 that is fit to for diameter X1 3mm for example in the scope of 5mm, in sealing face damage at 1mm between the 5mm, and in thread interruption between 5 to 10mm.
If product container P comprise have pressing part, the zone of the homologue such as mark, groove, minimum spacing of preferably being provided with for the 10mm of this structure of the test badge on test container 13 to 6 so is in order to guarantee enough measuring accuracy for the test-based examination of test container 1.
In addition, in Fig. 1 with dashed lines schematically illustrate optionally, for example with the seal section 10 of transparent over cap form, test badge 3 to 6 can utilize this seal section protected in case unwarranted distorting.Seal section 10 preferably is constructed to break seal section, and to be test signal apparent and/or that record when verification test container 1 change in the mode of representation feature, in order to make the operator notice that seal section breaks.
Fig. 3 shows the second form of implementation 11 according to test container of the present invention, the difference of itself and the first form of implementation is, in test container 11, to be filled until the type of the test badge 13 of the form of the liquid of predetermined material level F1 or F2 (for example water).
Utilize the second form of implementation 11, the testing fixture that for example is used for the alkali lye inspection is verified.Even here data carrier 7 has also comprised and has had about the multidimensional code of the information of test container 11, especially two-dimension code 8, it preferably includes at least one reference value R of test badge 13, for example packed height F1 or F2 and/or typical value, be used for desired in the function of the inspection unit of check situation up to specification, for example corresponding to the measuring-signal of attenuation.
Fig. 4 has illustrated the form of implementation of the device 21 that utilization according to the present invention test container according to the present invention is tested to the container inspection unit.
Correspondingly, for example be used for inspection unit 23 is tested to carry out for example beverage bottle of product container P(according to device 21 of the present invention) the sidewall inspection, and comprise reading unit 25, it can reading data carriers 7 and also can automatically identify this data carrier in product stream in case of necessity.But, data carrier 7 read also can be when test container 1,11 enters position control ground, for example trigger based on test container 1,11 relative positions known with respect to product container P.
This is outside equipped with analytical equipment 27, and it utilizes inspection unit 23 to compare at measured value M and the expected result that test container 1 obtains, and this expected result can calculate corresponding to reference value R according to the present invention or according to this reference value.Whether for example check value M measured in the test badge 3 of test container 1 in the expected range S1 to S2 that limits by means of reference value R, this scope characterizes the function of inspection unit 2.Alternatively, can consider arbitrarily standard of comparison.
If measured value M outside relevant expected range, so for example produces alert message W by means of the same output unit that arranges 29.This can be acoustic alert, the message on display screen etc.
Preferably be provided with export area 31 in inspection unit 23 downstreams, test container 1,11 is disallowable from the stream of product container P again in this export area, in order to avoid processing test container 1,11.In addition, 31 downstreams can also arrange control module 33 in the export area, and reflection grating for example is in order to identify the test container 1,11 of not rejecting in accordance with regulations from product stream.Light reflection required, that will trigger can produce in data carrier 7 on test container 1,11 for this reason, as long as this data carrier comprises the bearing film 9 of enough reflections.In this case, prerequisite only is that the reflection potential of bearing film 9 is fully different from the reflection potential of product container P.Reading in of data carrier 7 is unimportant here.
According to the reference value R of each position description that for example comprises test badge 3 to 6 and 13 of the present invention and/or size description X1 to X3, Y, F1, F2 (for example according to required data volume or be used for the likelihood inspection) centralized storage medium (not shown) that also can be stored in reading unit 25, analytic unit 27, inspection unit 23 and/or be fit to according to demand.Enough in principle be with reading unit 25 sign test containers 1,11 and from corresponding storage medium, read reference value R and attach troops to a unit in test container 1,11, especially to attach troops to a unit in its each test badge 3 to 6,13.
Preferably, keep and a plurality ofly have for sign container 1,11 and/or be used for the test container 1,11 of the independent data group of characterization test mark 3 to 6,13.In this case, attachment relationship is opposite qualitatively purely with the measurement task of determining with test container 1,11, and reference value R can realize directly comparing by the measured value M of test badge 3 to 6 acquisitions and expectation value or the desired range of values S1 to S2 of permission.
Thus, unallowed deviation can directly be quantized, but the deviation that allows also is classified and/or observed on the period of determining, in order to determine about the trend of a plurality of test-based examinations and/or likelihood and stop in advance the vicious inspection of the product container P in the product stream of running.For example, a plurality of inspections of the test badge 3 to 6 of determining on same test container 1,11 are compared or a plurality of inspections of the corresponding mark on different test container 1,11 3 to 6 are compared with each other.In particular, for example the reference value R by means of material level F1 can check the test badge 13 of determining with the time interval that is fit on a plurality of test containers 11, and records and compare and measure the deviation of result and corresponding expected result.
As illustrating equally among Fig. 4, test container 1,11 is added in the process of test procedure in the continuous product stream that shows by arrow, be made of product container P.For example, the operational mode that is used for test-based examination is automatically begun, test container 1,11 enter and report to reading unit 25 or identified by this reading unit in this operational mode.Subsequently preferably, from data carrier 7, read independent reference value R for each test badge 3 to 6,13.In this case, reference value R separately and be provided for each test container 1,11 with being difficult for obscuring.The unwarranted difficult of distorting that this has improved the reliability of check and has made check.
The location of described form of implementation 1,11,21 each mark, especially test badge and type can be at random mutually make up or can be replaced or delete according to inspect-type in significant mode technically.Equally according to the type of desired information density and reading unit 25, code 8 not only can realize in the described two-dimensional schemes by form of implementation, and can for example be embodied as three-dimensional information, especially is embodied as hologram or colored printing.
