Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for checking the contour of finished packages, especially cigarette packs, along a conveyor.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement for checking the contour of finished Packs, in particular cigarette packs moved on a conveyor.
  • Measures and means of the type mentioned at the outset are intended in particular to test cigarette packs on a packaging machine for the presence, defined fit and contour of their packaging components (aluminum foil or tinfoil, closure or tax stamp and in particular the blank).
  • Contour are to be understood as the outer contours of the pack, so that, for example, non-glued, protruding side flaps can be determined with the contour test.
  • the invention has for its object such a contour inspection to simplify numerous varying boundary conditions that occur in practice and make it safer.
  • an arrangement that is particularly easy to set up consists in that the packs are moved through a single closed light curtain that is larger than the pack width.
  • Another variant that is proposed is that the packs are moved through two parallel light curtains that project beyond the outer edge width, and a sum signal is generated from the light quantities to be expected for a defined pack size.
  • means for producing a light curtain that extends across the entire width of the conveyor track and is anyway interrupted because of a central conveyor means are deliberately dispensed with.
  • the proposed procedure can be used particularly effectively if the packs are moved through a light curtain that vertically intersects a linear conveyor track.
  • the arrangement for carrying out the method described at the outset is through one at least in areas of outer width sections of the packs Light transmitter and light receiver transversely to the conveying direction or transversely to the conveying plane of the conveyor generated closed light curtain marked.
  • an expedient integration of the proposed contour check for further handling of the test objects is that the light receiver receiving a quantity of light from the light curtain as a function of the package contour has an electrical signal linkage with a separating device for faulty packages.
  • An arrangement requiring little construction is that light transmitters and light receivers are arranged on opposite sides of the conveying plane to produce a single light curtain that exceeds the pack width and the width of the conveying means.
  • a variant which takes the central arrangement of the conveying means into account is that two light transmitters and two light receivers are arranged on opposite sides of the conveying plane to produce two light curtains which project beyond the outer edge width of the packs and of the conveying means.
  • a particularly simple and effective test section is obtained according to an advantageous embodiment in that the light transmitter and light receiver are arranged above or below an endless conveyor belt forming a linear conveyor path.
  • the advantage achieved by the invention is that with relatively little material and assembly effort for the test organs without conversion and adjustment measures for different packs, especially of different ones Material existing packaging components, a reliable contour inspection is guaranteed.
  • a conveyor in the form of an endless conveyor belt 3 transporting cigarette packs 2 finished in the conveying direction (arrow 1) is assigned a test device in the form of a light transmitter 6 and light receiver 7 producing a closed light curtain 4 for checking the outer contour of the cigarette packs 2.
  • a test device can be used, for example, in the form of a photoelectric light barrier, such as that sold as the LX2 series from Keyence Deutschland GmbH.
  • the closed light curtain 4 can be formed by two parallel light curtains 4a and 4b, which according to FIGS. 5a and 5b each protrude beyond the outer edge of the cigarette packs and are each generated by pairs of light transmitters 6a, 6b and light receivers 7a, 7b arranged opposite one another .
  • the cigarette packs remain in the area of the closed light curtains 4a, 4b, even with a possible lateral offset during their conveying in the conveying direction 1, with their outer contour to be checked, as can be seen in FIG. 5b.
  • Different packaging formats are also captured in this way by the light curtains in their outer contour, so that no readjustment of light transmitters and receivers is necessary, which are also able to respond to different packaging materials (e.g. differently reflecting).
  • a defined amount of light will thus reach the light receiver 7 in every position of the cigarette pack, from which an electrical signal is generated which the cigarette pack finds good.
  • the amount of light received by the light receiver 7 changes at the moment when a side flap protrudes, for example according to FIGS.
  • a separating means 9 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided, consisting of a pneumatic nozzle head 11 and a light barrier 12 which registers the passage of the incorrect pack.
  • the light barrier 12 and the light receiver 7 are linked via signal lines 13 and 14 to a control unit 16 which After receiving the two signals from the light receiver 7 and from the light barrier 12, the nozzle head 11 is activated by an output signal via a signal line 17, as a result of which the cigarette packet 2, which is recognized as a wrong pack, is removed from the conveying means 3 in the transverse direction.
  • the variant according to FIGS. 7 to 10b differs from that previously described Embodiment only in that by itself over the entire Width of the conveyor track 3 extending light transmitter 6 and light receiver 7 a single continuous or closed light curtain 4 is generated, which is a Simplified design means that the middle one through the endless conveyor belt 3 blocked area cannot be used to build a light curtain.
  • the amount of light of the light curtain 4 in the absence of cigarette packs 2 according to FIGS. 3 and 7 can be defined for the evaluation in the case of cigarette packs 2 passing through the light curtain 4 according to FIGS. 5a to 6b and 9a to 10b, in which a pack is rated as good. Values below this range generate a bad signal.
  • the range in which the measured values are to be evaluated can be determined by the system by starting the evaluation when the upper limit of the tolerance range is undershot and ending when the upper limit of the tolerance range is exceeded. Alternatively, it is possible to define the evaluation range using an external signal.
