Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottle inspection machine with several consecutively arranged and for different inspection tasks, such as height and foreign bottle control, wall, mouth, bottom and residual liquid control and closure, in particular clasp closure control, arranged over the bottles of one or more in a row arranged, on the circumference receiving spaces for the bottles, rotatable bottle carriers are transported and inspected in the process, with a sorting station arranged at the end of the inspection sections, which, depending on the inspection results, places the bottles on different conveying sections and with a magazine that can be connected to the inspection sections the test bottles can be introduced into the inspection sections and in particular can be discharged out of the inspection sections back into the magazine, the beginning and the end of the inspection sections using an N level conveyor line can be short-circuited to form a closed circuit for the test bottles.
  • inspection tasks such as height and foreign bottle control, wall, mouth, bottom and residual liquid control and closure, in particular clasp closure control
  • test bottles are placed in the inspection line with the appropriate switching of barriers on the conveyor belt and, after having passed the inspection machine, are returned from the conveyor belt on the outlet side to this conveyor belt.
  • the test bottles can pass through the inspection machine several times.
  • a further return of test bottles takes place via a further secondary conveyor line, which starts from the rotatable bottle carrier and comprises a sorting station and which opens into the first secondary conveyor line.
  • a distinction is made between the faultless and faulty bottles and the faulty bottles are fed back into the circuit via the reject station. This leads to the fact that in the error-free and error-prone bottles an originally defined sequence of error-free and error-prone bottles is lost.
  • test results are then no longer comparable, ie there is no repeat accuracy on this machine.
  • Another disadvantage of this machine is that because of the type of return transport and the introduction of the test bottles into the inlet-side transport route, a system test cannot be carried out with the highest possible operating performance of the machine.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a bottle inspection machine with which an automatic system test with test bottles can be carried out under operating conditions with high accuracy.
  • the Secondary conveyor line is designed as a rotatable bottle carrier with receiving places for the test bottles arranged on the circumference and, in the short-circuited state, the receiving places of the bottle carrier forming the secondary conveyor line and the other bottle carrier forming the inspection lines form a complete chain of receiving places for the test bottles.
  • the bottle inspection machine is composed of elements of the same type that are linked together, namely rotatable bottle carriers with receiving spaces arranged on the circumference, which forms a complete chain of receiving spots. This creates the prerequisite for the test bottles to be optimally guided in their cycle throughout their journey. In this way, the system test can be carried out at the maximum operating power of the machine. Since the bottles are transported in a seamless chain, their path through the machine can also be followed exactly. It is also advantageous that, because the end and the beginning of the inspection sections are linked, a comparatively small number of test bottles can be used via the secondary conveyor section designed as a rotatable bottle carrier.
  • the processing of the inspection results delivered by the individual inspection bodies of the inspection machine takes place by means of a computer which records the inspection result of the individual test bottle at the individual inspection bodies for each run, so that after one or more runs a statement can be made as to whether the individual inspection bodies all Errors or which errors have not been recognized.
  • the bottles can be guided in the closed circuit in such a way that the sorting station is preferably not included in this circuit, it is furthermore ensured that the sequence of error-free and error-prone test bottles, which has been predetermined once, is retained for all runs. This enables the test results of the individual runs to be compared with one another. This is of particular importance for a perfect check of the different receiving places with the treatment elements for the bottle assigned to them, because each taking place for different test bottles can then be checked with repeated runs.
  • the number of receiving locations of the circuit is a multiple of the number of receiving locations of the bottle carrier comprising the secondary conveyor line.
  • the bottle carrier designed as a secondary conveyor takes over the function of the magazine, then empty spaces in the magazine are not even required in order to accommodate the test bottles conveyed back into the magazine.
  • the secondary conveyor section which is designed as a rotatable bottle carrier with a fixed axis of rotation
  • at least one recess is provided on the circumference of the bottle carrier in the area of its receiving places, which, when the magazine is switched off and is stationary, i.e. in normal inspection operation, ensures the undisturbed transport of Bottles from the machine's inlet into the inspection lines and from the inspection lines to the outlet at the transfer points between the Secondary conveyor line and the inspection lines allowed over.
  • the secondary conveyor section which is designed as a rotatable bottle carrier, adjustable with respect to its axis of rotation, so that it can be switched on and off in the circuit.
  • the functions of the secondary conveyor line and the magazine are separated.
  • the magazine can be connected to the secondary conveyor line, which is designed as a rotatable bottle carrier with a fixed axis of rotation. In this way, the bottle carrier can always run with the other bottle carriers. Whether or not the short circuit is formed depends solely on how the holding and transfer means provided at the transfer points are connected.
  • the magazine preferably forms a circular route with the receiving locations.
  • switchable switches are arranged in the inspection sections at the transitions to the secondary conveyor sections in at least four positions, with the test bottles coming from the secondary conveyor section into the inspection sections in the switching position of the switches, in the second switching position the If the inspection lines are short-circuited, in that the bottles on the inspection lines are returned to the inspection lines via the secondary conveyor line, in the third switching position the test bottles from the inspection lines arrive in the secondary conveyor line and remain in it, and in the fourth switching position the bottles in the inspection lines be directed past the branch line.
  • the switches can be designed such that they can be pivoted into a fifth position in which the bottles are held in the secondary line. In this way, the bottles can be kept in circulation in the bottle carrier until all test bottles have reached their predetermined rest position during normal inspection operation.
  • the bottles no longer have to be released or accepted individually by the holding devices of the bottle carriers involved for their transfer from the inspection lines to the secondary conveyor line. Instead, they are forced depending on the position of the switches. Since it is no longer necessary to individually control the holding devices for the transfer, simply designed holders can be used in the bottle carriers. In addition, the switches only need to be switched at the beginning and end of the change from normal inspection operation to the short-circuited inspection state of the machine, so that the machine performance is not impaired during the inspection itself.
  • each switch consists of two parts which can be switched independently of one another and are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction of the bottles and can each be pivoted about a fixed pivot point.
  • the guide surfaces of the switches assigned to the secondary conveyor line should have a curvature that is equal to the curvature of the secondary conveyor line
  • the guide surfaces assigned to the inspection lines should have a curvature that is equal to the curvature of the inspection lines.
  • fixed guides are provided in front of and / or behind the transitions from the inspection sections to the secondary conveyor section, which support the inflow and outflow of the bottles in the transfer area. These should also have a curvature that corresponds to the curvature of the conveyor section assigned to them.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à une machine d'inspection de bouteilles comportant plusieurs sections d'inspection (8, 10) successives, aménagées pour différentes tâches d'inspection et un poste de tri (11) qui répartit les bouteilles entre différentes sections de transport (2, 5) en fonction des résultats de l'inspection. Pour le contrôle du fonctionnement de la machine, une section secondaire de transport constituée par un porte-bouteilles tournant (13) forme avec les sections d'inspection (8, 10) un circuit fermé dans lequel peuvent être introduites des bouteilles d'essai (T) à partir d'un magasin. Les sections d'inspection (8, 10) formées par des porte-bouteilles tournant présentent, comme le porte-bouteilles (13) formant la section secondaire de transport, des logements pour les bouteilles disposés à leur périphérie et forment avec leur logement, pour le contrôle du fonctionnement, une succession continue. Il est possible ainsi d'exécuter avec un faible nombre de bouteilles d'essai (T), en particulier en faisant passer plusieurs fois ces bouteilles (T) dans la machine, et sans intervention manuelle, un essai de système des installations de contrôle, même avec un fonctionnement intensif de la machine.
