Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zum Herstellen von Filterstäben für die Tabak verarbeitende Industrie aus einem strangförmigen Basismaterial, umfassend eine Einführeinrichtung zum Einführen eines in Längsrichtung kontinuierlichen Elements in das Basismaterial. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein entsprechendes Verfahren.The invention relates to a machine for producing filter rods for the tobacco processing industry from a strand-shaped base material, comprising an introduction device for introducing a longitudinally continuous element into the base material. The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
Aus der Druckschrift
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Maschine und Verfahren zum Herstellen von Filterstäben bereitzustellen, bei der eine Abweichung des kontinuierlichen Elements von einer Sollposition zuverlässig, schnell und mit hoher Genauigkeit feststellbar und behebbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a machine and method for producing filter rods, in which a deviation of the continuous element from a desired position can be detected and repaired reliably, quickly and with high accuracy.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe mit den Mitteln der unabhängigen Ansprüche. Durch die stirnseitige Inspektion der geschnittenen Filterstäbe in der laufenden Produktion der Maschine mittels einer bildgebenden Messeinrichtung und die insbesondere in Echtzeit stattfindende Bildauswertung kann die Position des kontinuierlichen Elements in den Filterstäben automatisch, im Wesentlichen ohne Verzögerung und mit hoher Genauigkeit festgestellt werden. Die Erfindung ermöglicht somit insbesondere die automatische Feststellung einer Abweichung der Lage des kontinuierlichen Elements von einer Sollposition, um bei Überschreiten einer bestimmten Schwelle geeignete Maßnahmen zur Behebung der Abweichung zu veranlassen.The invention solves this problem with the means of the independent claims. By the front-side inspection of the cut filter rods in the current production of the machine by means of an imaging measuring device and taking place in particular in real time image analysis, the position of the continuous element in the filter rods can be determined automatically, substantially without delay and with high accuracy. The invention thus makes it possible, in particular, to automatically determine a deviation of the position of the continuous element from a desired position in order to initiate suitable measures for eliminating the deviation when a certain threshold is exceeded.
Vorzugsweise wird die von der Bildauswerteeinrichtung ermittelte Positionsinformation des kontinuierlichen Elements mittels einer Anzeigeeinrichtung für den Bediener zur Anzeige gebracht, damit der Bediener jederzeit über die aktuelle Position des kontinuierlichen Elements informiert ist. Wenn der Betrag der Abweichung der Ist-Position des kontinuierlichen Elements von der Sollposition einen bestimmten Wert überschreitet, kann dies dem Bediener durch eine entsprechende Warnanzeige auf der Anzeigeeinrichtung mitgeteilt werden, um ein Nachstellen der Einführeinrichtung vorzugsweise im laufenden Betrieb der Maschine zu ermöglichen.Preferably, the position information of the continuous element determined by the image evaluation device is displayed by means of a display device for the operator so that the operator is always informed about the current position of the continuous element. If the amount of deviation of the actual position of the continuous element from the desired position exceeds a certain value, this can be communicated to the operator by means of a corresponding warning display on the display device, in order to enable readjustment of the introduction device preferably during operation of the machine.
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann die Einführeinrichtung mittels des von der Bildauswerteeinrichtung ausgegebenen Signals automatisch lageverstellbar sein.In an alternative embodiment, the introduction device can be automatically positionally adjustable by means of the signal output by the image evaluation device.
Vorzugsweise ist die Bildauswerteeinrichtung des Weiteren zum Feststellen des Fehlens des kontinuierlichen Elements in den Filterstäben eingerichtet, was in der Regel anzeigt, dass das kontinuierliche Element gerissen ist. In diesem Fall kann die Maschinensteuerung zweckmäßigerweise geeignete Maßnahmen einschließlich Anzeige eines Warnhinweises auf der Anzeigeeinrichtung und/oder einen Maschinenstopp und/oder einen Auswurf fehlerhafter Produkte veranlassen.Preferably, the image evaluator is further configured to detect the absence of the continuous element in the filter rods, which typically indicates that the continuous element is cracked. In this case, the machine controller may conveniently initiate appropriate actions including displaying a warning on the display and / or stopping the machine and / or ejecting defective products.
Vorzugsweise ist die Bildauswerteeinrichtung zum Ermitteln der Winkelposition einer Naht einer Filterstabumhüllung eingerichtet. Dies erlaubt eine Winkelkorrektur der Position des kontinuierlichen Elements, die aufgrund einer Rotation des Filterstabs um die eigene Achse auf dem Weg zwischen der Einführeinrichtung und der Messeinrichtung erforderlich werden kann.The image evaluation device is preferably set up to determine the angular position of a seam of a filter rod sheath. This allows angular correction of the position of the continuous element which may be required due to rotation of the filter rod about its own axis on the path between the introducer and the gauge.
Das kontinuierliche Element kann ein Faden, ein Band, ein strangförmiges Element oder ein sonstiges sich in Längsrichtung kontinuierlich erstreckendes Element sein. Es kann sich auch um eine Mehrzahl von insbesondere versetzt angeordneten kontinuierlichen Elementen handeln.The continuous element may be a thread, a ribbon, a strand-like element, or any other longitudinally continuously extending element. It may also be a plurality of particular staggered arranged continuous elements.
