Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for detecting the position of an object, such as a resin film or paper, being transported as a supply material. More particularly, this invention relates to an apparatus for detecting the edge position of such an object or the edge position of marks on such an object.
  • a combination bag maker and packaging machine adapted to make a bag of a resin material while filling it with articles.
  • Such a machine is generally adapted to bend an elongated resin film into a cylindrical form by means of a former while continuously transporting it and, after its mutually overlapping side edges are longitudinally sealed together, to seal it in a transverse direction.
  • a double-layered polyethylene film F As shown in Fig. 15(a) with the frontal layer subjected in particular to a stretching process to add lustre to it such that ink can stick better and it will have a generally improved external appearance.
  • the backside layer not undergoing the stretching process can be sealed much more easily.
  • the film F shifts sideways in a transverse direction W while it is being transported longitudinally, such a shift becomes most conspicuous where the side edges G are overlapped together, adversely affecting the commercial value of the bags.
  • detectors as shown in Fig. 16 have been in use with two photo-couplers 93 and 94 disposed across a side edge of the film F. If the inside photo-coupler 93 detects the film F but the outside photo-coupler 94 does not, the condition is adjudged normal. If both photo-couplers 93 and 94 detect the film F or if neither of them detects it, the condition is considered abnormal with the film F shifted sideways, and the shift is corrected accordingly.
  • detectors of photo-coupler or nozzle flapper types are disadvantageous in that their position must be adjusted every time a film of a different size is to be used. This problem can be obviated by arranging a large number of detectors, but detectors of photo-coupler or nozzle flapper types cannot be made compact because they require a pair of components, one for emitting light or air and the other for receiving it. In other words, it is not possible to provide a large number of such detectors at a small pitch. As a result, the accuracy of detection cannot be improved in this manner.
  • a position detector according to the present invention for an object being transported comprises a light-receiving means extended perpendicularly to the direction of transportation of the object for detecting a side edge of this object.
  • This light-receiving means has a plurality of light-receiving elements in this perpendicular direction such that the array of these light-receiving elements will extend across the edge of the object to be detected.
  • the plurality of light-emitting elements constituting the light-receiving means of the present invention are arranged not only transversely to the direction of motion of the target object but also over the edge of the object being transported, the position of the light-receiving means does not have to be adjusted even if the transverse dimension of the object being transported is changed.
  • the light-receiving means serving as detector is positioned according to the object being transported and there is no need for any light-emitting means.
  • a large number of light-receiving elements can be provided at a small pitch and hence the position of a target object can be detected with high accuracy.
  • What is intended to be detected includes process marks provided on the object being transported or on its side for showing processing positions in the direction of motion, such as marks for showing transverse cut positions.
  • the light-receiving means may be composed of a base onto which are affixed a plurality of light-receiving elements each comprising a solid image pickup element.
  • a light-emitting means may be disposed opposite to the light-receiving means across the object being transported.
  • Examples of the object being transported include elongated films and paper materials, as well as thin steel materials.
  • the object being transported is an elongated film intended to be made into bags
  • a light-emitting means is provided corresponding to the light-receiving elements.
  • the light-emitting means has a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged in the same transverse direction such that the array of these light-emitting elements extends across a side edge of the object being transported and the beams of light emitted from the array of light-emitting elements are substantially entirely reflected by the object being transported and made incident onto the light-receiving means.
  • another pair of light-emitting and light-receiving means is provided opposite to each other across the object being transported.
  • the light-emitting means of the second pair has its light-emitting elements aligned transversely and over the edge of the object being transported and the light-receiving elements of the second pair are also aligned opposite to these light-emitting elements, transversely and over the edge of the object being transported.
  • the light-emitting and light-receiving means of the second pair together form a detector of light-transmissive type, capable of detecting the edge of an opaque object.
  • detectors of both transmissive and reflective types are provided, they can be used selectively, depending on the transparency of the object being transported, such that the edge of objects of all kinds can be accurately determined.
  • Fig. 1 is a diagonal view of a mechanism for transporting a package-making material for a bag-maker-packaging machine incorporating a detector according to a first embodiment of the invention for detecting an object being transported.

  • Fig. 16 is a sectional view of a prior art detector.
  • Fig. 17 is a sectional view of another prior art detector.
  • a double-layered polyethylene film F serving as package-making material is pulled out of a film roll R around which the elongated film is wound.
  • the film F is passed around first and second guide rolls 1 and 2 and introduced to a diagonally oriented guide rod RD whereby its direction of motion is changed by a right angle.
  • this diagonally oriented guide rod RD has the so-called tracking function for correcting the film position in the transverse direction W perpendicular to the direction of film transportation C.
  • the film F is transported horizontally from the guide rod RD. After third and fourth guide rolls 3 and 4 cause it to move upward, the film F is made to travel horizontally again by a fifth guide roll 5. After the film F moves along a zigzag path around sixth and seventh guide rolls 6 and 7, it is sent to a former 9 by an eighth roll 8.
  • the sixth and seventh guide rolls 6 and 7 also have a tracking function for correcting the film position in the transverse direction W.
  • a transverse sealer 11 seals the bag in transverse direction and cuts the film.
  • Fig. 2 shows the details of the film-supporting mechanism by the sixth through eighth guide rolls 6 - 8.
  • a rotary plate 18 is provided above a base 16 so as to be rotatable around a support shaft 17. If an ultrasonic motor 20 affixed onto the rotary plate 18 is activated in response to an output signal from a detection sensor to be described below, its pinion 21 engages with a planar arcuate sector gear 22 and causes the rotary plate 18 to rotate.
  • a support table 13 is affixed to the rotary plate 18, and the sixth guide roll 6 for tracking correction is attached to the tip of an arm 14 which is axially supported by this support table 13 so as to be able to assume either a raised position or a laid down position.
  • the arm 14 generally assumes the laid down position, keeping the sixth guide roll 6 on the downstream side of the seventh guide roll 7 so as to force the film F to follow a zigzag path and to thereby cooperate with the seventh guide roll 7 to control the transverse deviation of the film F.
  • numeral 15 indicates a load cell adapted to detect the tension inside the film F on the basis of the load on the arm 14.
  • a detection sensor 30 comprising a light-receiving means is disposed along the supply path of the film F between the seventh guide roll 7 for tracking correction and the former 9.
  • cut marks M are printed on the front surface of the film F, indicating the positions where the film F is to be transversely sealed and cut.
  • the sensor 30 is for the purpose of detecting the cut marks M serving as targets for the detection and outputting a signal for controlling the timing of operation of the transverse sealer 11 and the tracking correction of the film F in the transverse direction W.
  • the sensor 30 is elongated like a rod and extends in the transverse direction W.
  • a lens array with a plurality of lenses 31 is provided on a plane facing the film F, longitudinally extending in the transverse direction W with respect to the film F.
  • a plurality of independently corresponding light-receiving elements S1 - S n are on the back surface of the lens array at the positions of the foci of the lenses 31.
  • the sensor 20 is disposed such that the array of the light-receiving elements S i crosses side edges Ma of the cut marks M on the film F.
  • Detection signals 36 are transmitted to a central processing unit (CPU) 35, and the transverse deviation of the film F is detected in terms of the shift ⁇ between the detector element S i-2 which detected the edge Ma of the cut mark M and the element S i which is expected to detect the edge Ma if the film F is being transported normally.
  • CPU central processing unit
  • the sensor 30 With the sensor 30 thus structured, if the film F with cut marks M of a specified length printed thereon passes thereunder, those of the light-receiving elements immediately above the cut mark M experience a change in the amount of incident light. Since all of the light-receiving elements S1 ... S n are adapted to receive external light through the lens array 31, the sensor 30 can function accurately even if the external light is weak.
  • the CPU 35 through its edge detecting means 40, identifies the particular light-receiving element S i-2 which detected the edge Ma of the cut mark M.
  • the identity of another particular light-receiving element S i which is expected to detect the edge Ma when the film F is traveling normally, is inputted through an external means to a normal edge setting means 41.
  • the shift ⁇ between these two light-receiving elements S i and S i-2 is calculated by a calculating means 42, and a correction command signal 43 comprising a pulse signal indicative of the shift ⁇ is outputted from the calculating means 42 to an ultrasonic motor driving circuit (not shown). This causes the ultrasonic motor 20 of Fig.
  • the detection sensor 30 is disposed such that the array of the light-receiving elements S1 ... S n is oriented in the transverse direction W of the film F and over the edge Ma of the cut marks M thereon, the edge Ma can be reliably detected even if a film F with a different transverse dimension is transported or the detection sensor 30 is misplaced by a small distance in the transverse direction W. As a result, the tracking correction of the film F in the transverse direction W can be controlled without undue troubles.
  • the senor 30 can contain a plurality of light-receiving elements S1 ... S n at a small pitch.
  • the edge Ma of the cut marks M can be accurately detected.
  • solid image pickup elements are small, the aforementioned pitch can be made extremely small if they are used in the light-receiving elements S1 ... S n . Since the sensor 30 is situated between the tracking correction guide roll 7 and the former 9, furthermore, transverse deviations of the film F within the former 9 can be reliably prevented.
  • the sensor 30, can also detect the position of the cut mark M in the direction of travel C of the film F, its detection signals 36 can be used to control the transverse sealing and cutting operations of the transverse sealer 11. In other words, there is no need to provide two separate sensors for the detection of sealing positions and transverse deviation, and the structure of the apparatus can be simplified.

  • the detection sensor 30 is positioned over a side edge 45 of the film F according to a third embodiment of the invention as shown in Fig. 6. Since the transverse position of the edge 45 can thus be detected, detection signals can be used for accurate tracking correction of the film F in the transverse direction W.
  • Fig. 7 shows a fourth embodiment of the invention provided with an edge sensor 50 appropriate for the detection of a side edge 45 of a transparent film F.
  • This edge sensor 50 is disposed along the travel path of the film F between the diagonal rod RD and the fourth guide roll 4, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • a tracking correction motor 46 activates a tracking correction motor 46, causing the diagonal rod RD to move to a parallel position indicated by broken lines in Fig. 1 and to thereby correct the deviation of the film F in the transverse direction W.
