Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly to a test container for testing test equipment. In the prior art, it is often necessary to check the containers being manufactured and in particular being filled for the presence of certain defects, such as the presence of glass fragments or the presence of contaminants inside the containers. To this end, the containers to be inspected are passed through these inspection devices and it is determined whether certain defects are present.
Background
It is, of course, also necessary to check the accuracy of such a checking device. For this purpose, primary or test containers are used which correspond to the dimensions of the primary containers or can be transported by the machine to be examined and which are provided with test contaminants. If the inspection device identifies the container, it can be concluded that the inspection device is operating properly. However, a problem with such containers is that the containers break down relatively quickly, since the product located in the container contains bacteria. These bacteria can multiply explosively in most beverages, rendering the test container unusable. If unfilled containers are used, the persuasion of the test results is generally low, mainly because the refractive index of the liquid requires a significantly different optical arrangement than an empty container.
In addition, in the prior art, the performance and, consequently, the throughput of containers per unit time have increased. If the test container is filled with products that are of particular interest to the person consuming it, such as alcoholic drinks and other quality products, there is a risk that the test container passes the inspection device and is not identified any more later.
The size of the introduced solid is, for example, 5X 5mm, as small as 1X 1mm, or even 3X 0.5mm for glass cullet. However, these products are very harmful if consumed by humans.
The utility model relates in particular to the testing of X-ray testing devices, such as full X-ray testers. Currently, test containers for X-ray full bottle inspectors are prepared in advance by gluing foreign matter such as glass chips, balls or steel balls to the bottom of the container. The test vial is then filled with the original product. However, the product must be changed frequently because the product changes and mold may form. However, this results in the preparation of such test vials in advance being very expensive.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
It is therefore an object of the present invention to make the preparation of such test receptacles more convenient and thus to provide them more quickly.
The test container (hereinafter also referred to as container) according to the utility model is used for inspecting an inspection device, in particular for inspecting an X-ray inspection device. The device for testing and checking has a base body and a container bottom and a mouth, on which a closure can be arranged, wherein the test container is filled with a liquid and a test body arranged in the interior of the test container, which test body can be detected by the testing device. The test body is arranged on a rod-shaped body which projects into the interior of the test container, wherein the rod-shaped body is at least partially transparent to radiation, in particular X-ray radiation.
A further test container for inspecting a test device according to the utility model has a base body and a container bottom and a mouth, on which a closure can be arranged, wherein the test container is filled with a liquid and a test body arranged in the interior space of the test container, which test body can be detected by the test device, the test body being a test body which can be introduced into the interior of the test container through the mouth of the test container and has a marking which identifies the test body.
A test body which can be introduced through the mouth is understood to be a test body whose size and/or geometry is such that it can be introduced into the container.
In a preferred embodiment, the test body is a test body which is at least partially and preferably completely surrounded by a cover and in particular a test body which is surrounded by a plastic cover. In this case, the covering can be closed in particular.
Preferably, the test body or its cover is provided with a label of the type described in more detail below. For example, the indicia may characterize the test body size, test body material, test body product number, and the like. In this case, the marking can be cast into the test body or its cover, preferably as an engraving. For example, the test body or the cover can have laser engraving. The test body can be made, for example, of plastic, metal or else of glass.
In a further preferred embodiment, the test body has at least in part a curved surface. Preferably, the test body has a geometry selected from the following group of geometries: a spherical shape, a hemispherical shape, a cylindrical shape, a drop shape, an elliptical shape, and combinations thereof.
By this arrangement of the test body, the test body can be removed very easily from the container and, in turn, the test container can be prepared in advance more easily and more quickly than in the prior art. In this way, the test bodies can also be placed in different test receptacles.
In this case, the test container can be made of glass or plastic, for example. In a preferred embodiment, the mouth region of the test container has a smaller cross section than the base body of the container. In a preferred embodiment, the container is a bottle.
In a preferred embodiment, the container is at least partially transparent and particularly preferably completely transparent to the radiation used by the inspection device. Preferably, the transparency of the container is more than 40%, preferably more than 50%, preferably more than 60% and particularly preferably more than 70%.
Thus, according to the present invention, a test container is provided in which foreign matter, such as glass chips, balls or steel balls, is present. In this case, the foreign body is preferably arranged on the rod-shaped body, for example on a stick. In this case, the test substances can be cast, for example, on the rod.
A very rapid preparation of the test receptacles is achieved by the treatment according to the utility model. In addition, processing is simplified for the customer. Additionally, as mentioned in more detail below, the written description of the device may be more clear.
In a preferred embodiment, the test body is spaced apart from the container bottom. In particular, however, the test body is not fixed on the container bottom and/or is movable relative to the container bottom.
Preferably, the test containers are adapted to inspect container inspection machines, wherein these inspection machines are adapted to inspect at least the containers of the first category for the presence of foreign objects. Preferably, the test container is adapted to inspect a container inspection machine which also performs inspection at least using X-rays.
Preferably, the container has an identifier which can be confirmed by the user and/or the identification device in order to distinguish the test container from another container type to be tested. Preferably, as mentioned above, the test body is spaced from the bottom of the container. This can be done, for example, by fixing the rod-shaped body on the closure in reverse and not lowering the test body to the bottom of the container, but spaced apart from the bottom of the container.
In a further advantageous embodiment, the test container is filled with a liquid. The liquid may in this case have at least one substance with a bactericidal effect, so that the liquid prevents the bacteria from multiplying for a long time.
Furthermore, it is also possible to treat (for example thermally and/or radiatively) test vessels which have been prepared beforehand, filled and preferably closed with the aid of the test substance, until all bacteria capable of multiplying have been inactivated.
Preferably, in this case, the liquid is similar in appearance and refractive index to the original product used.
In a further preferred embodiment, the rod-shaped body is at least partially and particularly preferably completely transparent to radiation and in particular to X-rays. In this way, observation, in particular of the test body, is facilitated.
In another preferred embodiment, the density of the rod is similar to the density of the liquid located in the container. Preferably, the rod-shaped body is transparent to some radiation and especially to X-rays.
In a further preferred embodiment, the rod-shaped body and/or the test body can be sterilized. This means, in particular, that the rod-shaped body and/or the test body can be sterilized by means of a sterilization medium and that the rod-shaped body and/or the test body cannot be attacked or damaged by this medium. Preferably, the density of the rod-shaped body and/or the test body differs from the density of the liquid located in the container by no more than 50%, preferably no more than 40%, preferably no more than 30%, preferably no more than 20% and preferably no more than 10%.
In another preferred embodiment, the test body has a detectable material.
In a further preferred embodiment, the container is an at least partially transparent container, for example a glass or plastic bottle, which is at least partially transparent to light, in particular in the visible wavelength range. Advantageously, the liquid is also a liquid that is at least partially transparent to light in the visible wavelength range.
In a further advantageous embodiment, a further substance is present in the liquid, which substance makes it possible to distinguish the container according to the taste and/or the smell and in particular the smell of the liquid. In the prior art, in the event of a failure of the full bottle test, the test bottles may enter the labelling machine and be assembled into a marketable product at the labelling machine. For example, the test container may be marked with a label so that no one can see the important content.
In a further advantageous embodiment, the further substance is selected from the group of: acetone, crude pyridine, crystal violet, fusel oil, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, ethyl sec-amyl ketone, xylem, petroleum, methanol, thiophene, mixtures or combinations thereof, and the like. In particular, isopropanol has proven particularly suitable for use in the liquid. In this embodiment, if the container has actually passed through the entire apparatus and is therefore also labelled, the container can still be distinguished by the user from the odour very quickly, without the user having to consume the liquid located in the container. Thus, in this embodiment, the denaturation of the liquid is advantageously carried out.
In a further advantageous embodiment, a plurality of foreign bodies having mutually different physical properties are arranged in the container. In this case, these foreign substances may differ, in particular in their color, density, elasticity, size, etc. In this way, a number of characteristics of the machine may be tested. For example, it may be tested whether to discriminate a foreign substance located at the bottom of the container, whether to discriminate a foreign substance that is more easily kicked up when the container is moved, and a foreign substance of a different color may be inspected.
In a further advantageous embodiment, the test container has an identification element or a marking identifying the test container, which can be recognized by the machine. As mentioned above, it is only laborious to find the missing test container after labelling.
For a filling performance of 1100 containers per minute, there are hours of seek work within a few minutes of manufacture. It is therefore proposed that an identification element be provided on the test container, which identification element is able to transmit information that the container is a test container to the receiving device. The identification element can also advantageously convey the type of contamination, for example in order to be identified as "not belonging to this" in a subsequent machine (for example a labelling machine). After that, it is possible to extract the container again.
For example, it is possible to identify the identification element via the actuator, but on the other hand, the identification element can also be used as a control element for the derivation, in particular in any machine following the testing machine. For example, a special test bottle sensor in the labeling machine can thus identify the incoming test container. The test receptacle may be removed or the machine may be stopped. The same object is also achieved in downstream machines such as packaging machines. Preferably, the identification element is a transmission element such as an RFID tag. However, it is also possible to carry out the inspection via optically perceptible workpieces, for example container closures of different colors.
In a further preferred embodiment, the rod-shaped body and/or the test body have markings which identify the object. In this case, it is particularly preferred that the label is selected from the following group of labels: transponders, such as RFID transponders, readable stamps, QR codes, bar codes, 2D codes, optically readable codes, etc.
In a further preferred embodiment, the rod-shaped body and/or the test body can comprise at least a second marking which identifies the object, in order to achieve redundancy in the discrimination of the test body and its identification marking. Particularly preferably, the marking can consist of at least two different marking technologies, for example RFID technology and optical technology.
Preferably, the marker is characteristic of at least one property characterizing the test body, wherein the property is selected from the group of properties consisting of: the volume of the test body, the material of the test body, the colour of the test body, the density of the test body, the size of the test body (e.g. the size of the test dirt) and the position of the test body (e.g. with reference to the bottom of the container), etc. Preferably, the material of the test body is selected from the following group of materials: lead, steel and glass.
In a further preferred embodiment, the average density of the rod-shaped body on which the test body is arranged is greater than the density of the liquid located in the test container. In this way, it is possible to achieve that the test body together with the rod-shaped body sinks in the liquid to the bottom of the container. Preferably, in this case, the test body sinks itself to the bottom of the container and/or contacts the bottom of the container.
In a further preferred embodiment, the average density of the rod-shaped body on which the test body is arranged is less than the density of the liquid located in the test container. In this way, it is possible to achieve that the test body together with the rod-shaped body floats in the liquid. Preferably, the rod, for example in the form of a test stick, is held back by the container closure and the test body is thereby held at a preset height above the container bottom.
In a further preferred embodiment, the rod-shaped body has at least one, preferably a plurality of, predetermined breaking points. In this way, the test body can be shortened in any way, for example in order to adapt the test body or the rod-shaped body to different container heights or in order to adjust the position of the test body inside the container.
In a further preferred embodiment, the rod-shaped body is arranged freely movably in the container or is fixed on the closure. When fixed to the closure, the test bodies can also be removed from the container when the container is unscrewed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the test body has a precisely defined position inside the container.
By arranging the rod-shaped body inside the container, the rod-shaped body can be taken out of the container together with the test body.
In a further preferred embodiment, the test body is detachably fastened to the rod-shaped body. In this case, the test body can be clamped, glued, screwed, etc.
The rod-shaped body is preferably designed as a test stick. Preferably, the rod-shaped body has a user-readable marking which informs the rod-shaped body and/or the test body of at least one item of information, for example the length of the rod-shaped body, the material of the rod-shaped body, the cross-section and/or the diameter of the rod-shaped body, etc.
In a further preferred embodiment, the test body is fixed to the end of the rod-shaped body. Preferably, the test body is fixed to the end face of the rod-shaped body. Furthermore, it is also possible to fix a plurality of test bodies to the rod-shaped body.
In another preferred embodiment, the length of the rod-shaped body can be varied. The rod-shaped body can, for example, be telescopically designed and/or have a plurality of sections which can be moved relative to one another.
