Definitions
- the invention lies in the field of preparing and dispensing in accordance with the wish of a user a liquid or pasty, coloured mass which consists of a plurality of basic components.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which also enables use of return masses in the preparation of new, coloured masses, wherein the returned masses can be re-used quickly, such that the generally limited storage life of these masses no longer represents an obstacle.
- the invention has the object that the speeds at which return masses can be collected and added during preparation are so high that an apparatus according to the invention can operate in line with a production installation and can even increase the preparation speed.
- the invention provides the method according to claim 1.
- This method can be implemented with the apparatus according to claim 3.
- the method can comprise the steps according to claim 2.
- the invention also relates to a control program according to claim 4 which forms part of the apparatus of claim 3 such that the apparatus performs the method according to claim 1.
- This control program is based on the flow diagram as according to the annexed figure 2.
- the method according to the invention is based on the insight that it is often possible to use at least a part of returned masses to make new masses.
- the starting point for preparing colours of practically any desired composition can be a plurality of ten to twenty basic components. Depending on the desired colour of the printing ink, use can be made of a suitable number of basic components in predetermined ratio. It is noted that for the sake of brevity no reference is made to additives such as thickening agents, water and possibly necessary chemicals which for instance provide the adhesion of the ink to the fabric or fibre material for printing.
- Essential for the "management system" is that each receiving container, which is later returned as the first container referred to in claim 1, is followed by the system, or is at least identifiable at any necessary moment.
- the composition thereof is established and linked inseparably to the relevant container in which the mass is prepared.
- This inseparable link can be established on the one hand by using containers with their own unique identification or alternatively through identification of the mass present in a container, for instance by using a photospectrometer.
- the mass After the mass has been designated a remnant, the mass is recognized by the system on the basis of the container in which it is located.
- the control of the apparatus determines whether, and if so, to which collecting vessel the mass, given its composition, can be added.
- the mass is subsequently is added to this collected mass.
- the weight of the added mass is measured so that the new composition of the collected mass can also be calculated.
- each container carries its own identification device such as a strip code, a dot code, a transponder or any other suitable device.
- An important objective of the invention is the re-use of masses which must be deemed remnants and which can no longer, or only with the greatest difficulty and inherent inaccuracy, be decomposed into the composite basic components. Many masses have in addition a limited storage life, or the quantities in which they are prepared are such that known reprocessing methods are not applicable.
- Masses are used which are composed of basic components, wherein preparation of these masses is controlled from the location where the masses are used, for instance a printing machine. After homogenizing the mass can no longer be decomposed into the basic components.
- the storage life of the masses is generally short, so that it is not possible to wait for re-use until a mass with the same composition is once again required.
- the requisite speeds at which masses are prepared are too high to re-use the remnant or return masses per container by means of numerical recalculation.
- a known instrument as a spectrophotometer is not necessary according to the invention. Such instruments are in any case relatively expensive, time-consuming and inaccurate.
- the composition of any produced mass is recorded by a central control unit.
- the receiving container is also provided with its own identification device, so that at any desired moment can be determined which container is situated at which location.
- the central control unit contains the necessary data relating to the composition of the mass present in the relevant container.
- the mass is recognized by the system by means of the identification device carried by the container. Thereafter is determined whether the combination of the basic components present therein forms part of for instance a much used combination. If this is the case the remnant or return mass is added to other remnants in which the same combinations occur. On the basis of the above stated numerical recalculation the composition of the mass which results from these mixings is in each case determined and stored in the memory. It will be apparent that the system also remembers in which container or containers the relevant mass is located.
- the system according to the invention provides the option of a fully automatic preparation of mixtures of basic components with a very high degree of re-use of return masses.
- Figure 1 shows a total system, wherein the system according to the invention is designated with block 1.
- Figure 2 shows a flow diagram of a program which controls an apparatus according to the invention for performing the method according to the invention.
- the program is built up as follows:
- Figure 3 shows by way of example a possible arrangement. Attention is drawn to the fact that the spectrophotometer according to the invention included in the block diagram of figure 3 is not an essential measuring instrument, but can if desired be used for performing a rough, for instance random, check.
- Figure 4 shows an apparatus 2 according to the invention.
- Containers 3 are fed via a conveyor belt 4 to a weighing and emptying station 5.
- the containers 3 can be transported to and from a vertical vessel washer, a push-out member 7, a cover washer 8, a cover placer 9, a colour checking station 10, a mixer 11, a collecting station 12, 13 for vessels.
- a washing station 15 is placed along a conveyor belt 14 which connects onto the unit 5.
- FIG. 5 shows an example of a printing device.
- a turntable or rearranging platform 16 transports vessels 17 to and from pick and place units which are all designated 18 for the sake of convenience.
- Designated 19 are suction and scraping stations for containers.
- a weighing station 20 the containers are weighed to determine the weight of the mass present therein.
- the coding which is read by the reader is supplied as address to the memory of a central processor unit (not drawn) which thereby has available sufficient information to be able to apply the relevant masses directly or for re-use.
- Designated schematically are conveyors 22, 23 which can feed the respective containers to printing machines 24, 25.
- Figure 6 shows an arrangement with a conveyor belt 26 for containers 27.
- Three pick and place units are grouped round a turntable 28.
- Mixing units are designated with 29.
- the reference numeral 30 refers to a dosing unit.
- FIG 7 shows a conveyor 31 which transports vessels 32 to respective dosing stations 32, 33, 34 under the control of a central control unit.
- Each dosing station comprises a cover 35 with a suction line 36 for supplying printing ink to an associated printing station 37, 38, 39 respectively.
