Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur kontinuierlichen Abfüllung einer vorgegebenen Menge eines Produktes, insbesondere eines Getränks oder Lebensmittels, in aus vorzugsweise von einer Rolle bereitgestelltem Packstoff, insbesondere Karton-Kunststoff-Verbundmaterial, hergestellte Packungen.The invention relates to a method and a device for the continuous filling of a given quantity a product, in particular a drink or Food, in preferably from a roll provided packaging material, in particular cardboard-plastic composite material, produced packages.
Aus der Praxis sind unterschiedlichste Vorrichtungen zum Abfüllen von flüssigen, körnigen, pulverförmigen und/oder festen Produkten in Portionspackungen bekannt. Neben dem Abfüllen in Flaschen, Container oder dergleichen, also in bereits fertige Behältnisse, gibt es jedoch auch solche Anlagen, die die zu befüllenden Packungen zunächst aus einem Rohstoff oder Halbzeug herstellen. Solche Verbundpackungen bestehen meist aus innen und außen mit einer PE-versiegeltem Kartonträgermaterial und weisen ggf. darüber hinaus noch weitere Schichten als Sauerstoffsperrschicht, Lichtschutzschicht oder dergleichen auf. So enthalten beispielsweise Verbundpackungen für H-Milch eine zusätzliche Aluminiumfolie als Lichtschutzschicht.From practice, a variety of devices for Filling of liquid, granular, powdery and / or solid products in sachets known. Next to the Bottling in bottles, containers or the like, ie in already finished containers, but there are also such Plants, the packages to be filled first off produce a raw material or semi-finished product. Such Composite packages usually consist of inside and outside with a PE-sealed cardboard carrier material and have if necessary, more layers than Oxygen barrier layer, light protection layer or like that. For example, included Composite packs for H-milk an additional Aluminum foil as a light protection layer.
Aus den zu verwendenden Rohmaterialien werden in Verpackungsfabriken die einzelnen Schichten zu einem Verbundmaterial laminiert, dieses dann bedruckt und vereinzelt. Nach entsprechender Vorfaltung, Rillung, Prägung und Aufbringen der Längsnaht werden dann die Schlauchabschnitte, sogenannte "Packungsmäntel", flachgelegt in Umkartons, den eigentlichen Abfüllbetrieben zur Verfügung gestellt. Durch das Vereinzeln der Packungsmäntel ist bei dieser Art der Herstellung von Verbundpackungen eine Qualitätskontrolle während des Fertigungsprozesses möglich, so dass nur einwandfreie Packungsmäntel zu den Abfüllmaschinen gelangen.From the raw materials to be used in Packing factories the individual layers to one Laminated laminated material, this then printed and sporadically. After appropriate prefolding, creasing, Embossing and application of the longitudinal seam are then the Hose sections, so-called "packing jackets", laid flat in outer cartons, the actual Bottling plants provided. By the Singling the packing coats is in this type of Production of composite packages a quality control possible during the manufacturing process, leaving only perfect packaging coats to the filling machines reach.
Bei der alternativen Herstellung von Verbundpackungen von auf Rollenbahnen angeliefertem Verbundmaterial müssen festgestellte fehlerhafte Abschnitte der Rollen in einem Rollenschneider überarbeitet werden, indem die fehlerhaften Stellen entfernt, die Verpackungsmaterialbahn unter Bildung einer - zusätzlichen - Nahtstelle wieder "geflickt" werden. Solche Nahtstellen der Materialbahnen führen jedoch später zu Ausschussware, da aufgrund der stärkeren Materialanhäufung Undichtigkeiten sowie Probleme beim Druckbild auftreten können. Da hierbei jedoch nur die groben Fehler eliminiert werden können, muss auch weiterhin mit Materialfehlern oder Druckfehlern beim aufgerollten Verbundmaterial gerechnet werden.In the alternative production of composite packages of need to be supplied on roller conveyors composite material detected faulty sections of the roles in one Slitter rewinder be revised by the faulty places removed, the Packaging material web to form a - Additional - seam "mended" again. However, such seams of the webs lead later to rejects because of the stronger Material accumulation leaks as well as problems with Print image can occur. However, since only the coarse errors can be eliminated, too furthermore with material defects or typographical errors Rolled composite material can be expected.
Im eigentlichen Abfüllbetrieb werden die Rollen in einer Abfüllanlage geformt, abgeschnitten, befüllt und verschlossen. Das Endprodukt ist ein mit dem entsprechenden Produkt gefüllte Packung. Bei dem bekannten Verfahren bzw. mit den bekannten Vorrichtungen ist es nicht auszuschließen, dass Packungen mit fehlerhaften Innenoberflächen auf den Markt gebracht werden, weil nach dem Verschließen der Packung die Fehler durch die meist zerstörungsfreien Qualitätsprüfungen nicht erkannt werden. Auch ist nicht völlig auszuschließen, dass Packungen mit fehlerhaften Außenoberflächen oder fehlerhaftem Druck zum Endverbraucher gelangen, weil diese Packungen nach dem Verlassen der Füllmaschine meist sofort in Verkaufstrays palettiert werden.In the actual filling operation, the roles are in one Bottling plant shaped, cut, filled and locked. The final product is one with the corresponding product filled pack. In which known methods or with the known devices it is not excluded that packs with defective internal surfaces placed on the market because after closing the package the errors through the mostly non-destructive quality checks not be recognized. Also is not complete to exclude that packs with faulty ones External surfaces or faulty pressure for End consumers get, because these packs after the Leaving the filling machine usually immediately in sales trays be palletized.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs genannte und zuvor näher beschriebene Verfahren und die entsprechende Vorrichtung so auszugestalten und weiterzubilden, dass Defekte im Verbundmaterial und/oder Mängel der befüllten Packungen erkannt werden und die entsprechende Ausschussware aus dem Produktionsprozess entsorgt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object, the mentioned above and described in more detail above method and the corresponding device to design and to develop that defects in the composite material and / or Defects of filled packages are recognized and the corresponding rejects from the production process is disposed of.
Diese Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich des Verfahrens dadurch gelöst, dass eine Zentralsteuerung vor, während und nach der Abfüllung über eine Mehrzahl von Schnittstellen Informationsdaten über den Herstellungsprozess des Packstoffs, die Unversehrtheit des Packungsmantels und/oder der offenen Packung und den Abfüllprozess sammelt und den Produktionsprozess so beinflusst, dass defekte oder beschädigte Packungen nicht befüllt werden und dass nicht gefüllte oder gefüllte, jedoch undichte oder beschädigte Packungen aus dem laufenden Produktionsprozess ausgeschleust werden.This object is achieved with regard to the method solved that central control before, during and after the filling over a plurality of interfaces Information about the manufacturing process of the Packaging material, the integrity of the packing jacket and / or the open pack and the filling process collects and influences the production process in such a way that Defective or damaged packages can not be filled and that not filled or filled, but leaky or damaged packages from the current Production process are discharged.
Hinsichtlich der Vorrichtung besteht die Lösung der Aufgabe darin, dass die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens eine Zentralsteuerung, eine Mehrzahl von Detektoren zum Sammeln von Daten für die Zentralsteuerung und wenigstens eine Ausschleusvorrichtung zum Ausschleusen von nicht gefüllten oder gefüllten, jedoch undichten oder beschädigten Packungen aufweist. With regard to the device, the solution consists of Task is that the device for carrying out the Method a central control, a plurality of Detectors for collecting data for the central control and at least one discharge device for Removal of unfilled or filled, however Has leaking or damaged packages.
Für sich sind bereits einzelne Lösungen zur Qualitätskontrolle in Verbindung mit Füllmaschinen bekannt:There are already individual solutions for you Quality control in connection with filling machines known:
So ist beispielsweise aus der DE 43 32 645 C2 eine Maschine zum Füllen von Getränken in auf Unversehrtheit geprüften Flaschen bekannt, die eine Vielzahl umlaufender Füllorgane aufweist, deren Flüssigkeitsventile einzeln von einer gemeinsamen Steuereinrichtung schaltbar sind. Die Maschine ist ferner mit einer Eingabeeinrichtung, in der die Flaschen einzeln separiert und synchron zum Maschinenumlauf laufend von einer zuführenden Transporteinrichtung auf die Maschine überführt werden, und mit einer Ausgabeeinrichtung, der unmittelbar oder unter Zwischenschaltung von Verschließ- und/oder Etikettiereinrichtungen eine Endkontrolleinrichtung nachgeschaltet ist, versehen. Die Endkontrolleinrichtung prüft die Flaschen auf Unterfüllung und entfernt sie ggf. aus dem Flaschenstrom. Außerdem weist diese Maschine eine Eingangskontrolleinrichtung auf, die im Bereich der Eingabeeinrichung die Flaschen auf Fehler überprüft und bei Feststellung eines Fehlers ein Signal zum Geschlossenhalten desjenigen Flüssigkeitsventils, das während des folgenden Umlaufs der als defekt erkannten Flasche zugeordnet ist, an die Steuereinrichtung abgibt. Die Eingangskontrolleinrichtung besteht in dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus drei Videokameras, die über Bilderkennungseinrichtungen zur Fehlererkennung das Abschaltsignal erzeugen. Die Endkontrolleinrichtung, die die Flaschen daraufhin überprüft, ob sie unterfüllt sind, weist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Videokamera und eine Ausstosseinrichtung auf. Die Flaschen werden somit vor und nach dem Abfüllvorgang kontrolliert. For example, from DE 43 32 645 C2 a Machine for filling drinks in integrity Certified bottles known to be a variety of peripheral Filling having their fluid valves individually can be switched by a common control device. The machine is further provided with an input device, in which separates the bottles individually and synchronously to Machine circulation running from an afferent Transport device are transferred to the machine, and with an output device which is direct or with the interposition of closure and / or Labeling a final inspection device downstream is provided. The final control device checks the bottles for underfilling and removes them if necessary from the bottle stream. In addition, this machine has a Input control device in the field of Input device checks the bottles for errors and upon detection of an error, a signal to Closed holding the liquid valve, the during the following cycle the one detected as defective Bottle is assigned to the control device outputs. The input control device consists in that in the Drawing illustrated embodiment of three Video cameras using image recognition devices for Error detection generate the shutdown signal. The Final control device, the bottles then Check if they are underfilled, pointing in the illustrated embodiment, a video camera and an ejection device on. The bottles are thus checked before and after the filling process.
Des weiteren beschreibt die EP 0 378 052 A1 eine
Verpackungsvorrichtung gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 6, die ein Beutelformmaschine
aufweist und zum Herstellen von mit Schüttgut zu
füllenden Beuteln aus einem Einschlagmaterialband dient,
das über eine Eingangseinrichtung der Beutelformmaschine
zugeführt wird. Die Eingangseinrichtung weist eine
Kontrolleinrichtung zum Nachweis von Fehlern im
Einschlagmaterial und Auslenkmittel auf, die bei einem
Einschlagmaterialbandfehler den Anfang eines ankommenden
Bandabschnittes in einen Ausscheidebehälter fallen

Ferner sei noch auf die WO 98/ 05 558 hingewiesen, die ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Erfassung von Konstruktionsfehlern in einer aus einem zweidimensionalen Zuschnitt hergestellten Verpackung beschreibt. Abschnitte der Verpackung weisen dabei Bereiche mit Konstrastfarben auf, welche optisch abgetastet werden. Die Abtastergebnisse werden einer elektronischen Kotrolleinheit zum Vergleich mit gespeicherten Parametern zugeführt. Wenn die Abtastergebnisse mit den gespeicherten Parametern nicht übereinstimmen, wird die betreffende Verpackung als fehlerhaft angesehen. Das in der Zeichnung dargestellt Ausführungsbeispiel betrifft die Kontrolle einer Verpackung zur Aufnahme von Joghurtbechern.Furthermore, reference is still made to WO 98/05 558, which a method and a device for detecting Design errors in one of a two-dimensional Blank produced packaging describes. sections The packaging has areas with contrasting colors which are optically scanned. The Sampling results become an electronic one Control unit for comparison with stored parameters fed. If the sampling results with the stored parameters do not match packaging considered defective. This in the drawing illustrated embodiment relates the control of a package to receive Yogurt cups.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung basiert also auf der Erkenntnis, dass durch eine Zentralsteuerung Dateninformationen von unterschiedlichsten Oberflächenkontrollen und sonstigen Kontrollsystemen einheitlich erfasst und verarbeitet werden. Erfindungsgemäß ist erreicht worden, dass fehlerhafte Packungen dort aussortiert und entfernt werden, wo es im The solution according to the invention is therefore based on the Realizing that through a central control Data information of the most diverse Surface controls and other control systems uniformly recorded and processed. According to the invention has been achieved that faulty Packs are sorted out there and removed where it is in
Bezug auf den gesamten Fertigungs- und Abfüllprozess kostenmäßig am günstigsten ist. Die Erfassung von Daten über bei der Packstoffherstellung auftretende Fehler in der Zentralsteuerung können - räumlich und zeitlich getrennt - Informationen über die Oberflächenbeschaffenheit und das Gewicht des Packstoffs, Nahtstelle, Druckfehler, etc. erst später beim eigentlichen Abfüllprozess ausgewertet und gemeinsam mit den erfassten Daten über den Abfüllprozess ausgewertet werden. Während des Abfüllprozesses werden Informationen über die Füllhöhe bzw. das Gewicht der gefüllten Packung, die Qualität der Siegelnaht bzw. Siegelnähte und den äußeren Stand der fertigen Packung sowie ggf. weitere produktionstechnisch bedingte Parameter gesammelt.Reference to the entire manufacturing and filling process cost is the cheapest. The collection of data over in the packaging material manufacturing errors in the central control can - spatially and temporally disconnected - information about the Surface quality and the weight of the packaging material, Interface, printing errors, etc. only later on actual bottling process evaluated and shared with evaluated the collected data about the filling process become. During the filling process, information becomes about the filling level or the weight of the filled pack, the quality of the sealed seam or sealing seams and the outer state of the finished package and possibly more production-related parameters collected.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung lassen sich auf bestehende Abfüllanlagen mit geringen Umrüstarbeiten anwenden.The inventive method and the invention Device can be used on existing bottling plants use minor retooling work.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist es, dass über eine Prozesserfassungs-Software, die in der Zentralsteuerung erfassten Daten für die Erstellung einer exakten Kostenabrechnung für den Packstoffhersteller ausgewertet werden können. Mit einer solchen "automatischen Kombikontrollsystemanlage" lassen sich beim Abfüller Kosten sparen, indem dieser nur noch das Material für die einwandfreien Packungen bezahlen muss und die Kosten für den Ausschuss (und ggf. der gesamten erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung) dem Packstoffhersteller in Rechnung stellt. Aufgrund der beim Packstoffhersteller durch den Wegfall einer Qualitätskontrolle bedingten Einsparung sind die Gesamtkosten des Fertigungsprozesses durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung geringer als bei herkömmlichen Prozessen. Für die Detektion der Fehler im Packstoff lassen sich optische, elektrische/elektronische oder mechanische Detektoren sowie Wiegevorrichtungen oder dergleichen einsetzen.Another advantage of the invention is that over a Process detection software operating in the central control collected data for the creation of a precise Cost accounting evaluated for the packaging material manufacturer can be. With such an "automatic Combi control system system "can be found at the bottler Save costs by this only the material for the impeccable packs must pay and the cost of the Committee (and possibly the entire invention Device) invoices the packaging material manufacturer.

In Fig. 1 ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung
schematisch dargestellt. Dabei weist die Vorrichtung
zunächst und im Wesentlichen eine Rolle 1 zur Bevorratung
des bahnförmigen Packstoffes und eine Abfüllanlage 2 auf,
in der die aus dem bahnförmigen Packstoff ausgeformten
Packungen mit einem Produkt 3 abgefüllt werden. Am Ende
des Produktionsprozesses verlassen fertig gefüllte
Packungen 4 die Vorrichtung.In Fig. 1 is the device according to the invention
shown schematically. In this case, the device
initially and essentially a
Erfindungsgemäß weist nun die Vorrichtung darüber hinaus
eine Zentralsteuerung 5, eine Oberflächenkontrollanlage 6
für Material- und/oder Druckfehler und eine Mehrzahl von
Detektoren zum Sammeln von Daten für die Zentralsteuerung
5 auf. Darüber hinaus ist im dargestellten und insoweit
bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel auch eine
Wiegevorrichtung 7 zur Überprüfung des Füllgewichtes
vorgesehen. Die zuvor genannten Detektoren zum Sammeln
von Daten werden über mehrere Schnittstellen mit der
Zentralsteuerung 5 verbunden. Es sind dies im Einzelnen
eine Schnittstelle 9 zur externen Packstofffertigung,
eine Schnittstelle 10, 11 zur Oberflächenkontrollanlage,
eine Schnittstelle 12 zur Abfüllanlage, eine
Schnittstelle 13 zur Wiegekontrolle, eine Schnittstelle
14 zur Ausschleusvorrichtung und eine Schnittstelle 15
zur Produktionserfassungs-Software.According to the invention, the device now moreover
a
In der Abfüllanlage 2 wird aus dem von der Rolle 1
kommenden Packstoff einzelne Zuschnitte hergestellt und
diese in bekannter Weise geformt, mit einem Produkt 3
gefüllt und anschließend verschlossen. Vor dem Vereinzeln
wird der bahnförmige Packstoff in der
Oberflächenkontrollanlage 6 auf Fehler hin überprüft.
Dabei sind im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zur
besseren Übersicht nur zwei Oberflächengeräte vorhanden;
es ist klar, dass, wenn mehrere Packstoffrollen vorhanden
sind, beispielsweise Aluminiumfolie und Papier für
Schokoladenverpackungen, pro Rolle jeweils zwei
Oberflächengeräte vorhanden sind.In the bottling plant 2 is from the roll of the first
coming packaging material individual blanks produced and
this formed in a known manner, with a product. 3
filled and then closed. Before separating
is the web-shaped packaging material in the
Die Oberflächen des Packstoffs können beschichtet,
kaschiert, bedruckt, gestanzt, perforiert, unbehandelt
oder mit einem anderen Verfahren veredelt sein. Die
Oberflächenkontrollanlage ist dabei jeweils auf die zu
verarbeitende Packstoffart speziell angepasst. Die dort
ermittelten Daten werden über die zugeordneten
Schnittstellen 10, 11 an die Zentralsteuerung 5
übermittelt. Dabei werden Informationen über erkannte
Oberflächenfehler oder Druckfehler detektiert. Dabei
können die Fehler in unterschiedliche Fehlerklassen
unterteilt werden.The surfaces of the packaging material can be coated,
laminated, printed, punched, perforated, untreated
or be refined with another method. The
Surface control system is in each case to the
processing packaging material specially adapted. These
The data determined are assigned via the
Über die Schnittstelle 9 zur externen Packstofffertigung
erhält die Zentralsteuerung 5 Informationen aus dem
Fertigungsprozess der Packstoffrollenherstellung. Diese
Dateninformationen können über Datenträger, zum Beispiel
Disketten, online an die Zentralsteuerung 5 übermittelt
werden. Zweckmäßiger Weise sind die
Oberflächenkontrollsysteme beim Packstoffhersteller und
dem Abfüllanlagenbetreiber aufeinander abgestimmt oder
sogar vom gleichen Hersteller. In der Zentralsteuerung 5
werden die über die Schnittstelle 9 zur externen
Packstofffertigung gesammelten Daten mit den
Informationen aus der Oberflächenkontrollanlage
abgeglichen. Via the
Weitere Dateninformationen erhält die Zentralsteuerung 5
von der Schnittstelle 12 zur Abfüllanlage, hierbei
umfassen die Dateninformationen beispielsweise
fehlerhafte Abfüllprodukte, Abfüllschwierigkeiten,
Maschinengeschwindigkeit und andere Prozessinformationen.
Eine weitere Dateninformation erhält die Zentralsteuerung
5 von der Schnittstelle 13 zur Wiegekontrolle. Dort
werden die abgefüllten Produkte und Packungen gewogen und
mit einem Sollwert verglichen. Wird der Sollwert mit den
zugelassenen Abweichungen nicht erreicht, bekommt die
Zentralsteuerung 5 wiederum eine entsprechende
Dateninformation. Weitere Detektoren können hinter der
Abfüllanlage 12 angeordnete Metallsuchkontrollsysteme
oder sonstige Kontrollsysteme sein, die ebenfalls in die
Zentralsteuerung 5 eingebunden werden können. In der
Zentralsteuerung 5 werden alle Dateninformationen
verarbeitet und mit vorgegebenen Sollwerten und
Fehlerklassen abgeglichen werden. Alle Daten
berücksichtigen dabei die Maschinengeschwindigkeit der
gesamten Vorrichtung. Von der Zentralsteuerung 5 werden
dann die aus den unterschiedlichen Detektoren erkannten
Fehler in mindestens die Kategorien a) einwandfreie
Packungen 4, b) minderwertige Packungen 4' und c)
Ausschuss 4" unterteilt.Further data information is received by the
Dementsprechend wird die Ausschleusvorrichtung 8, welche
im dargestellten und insoweit bevorzugten
Ausführungsbeispiel als "Doppelweiche" ausgeführt ist,
von der Zentralsteuerung 5 angesteuert.Accordingly, the
Wird durch die Oberflächenkontrollanlage 6 ein Fehler der
Fehlerklasse "Ausschuss" festgestellt oder ist eine
entsprechende Information aus der Packstoffherstellung 9
vorhanden, gibt die Zentralsteuerung 5 zusätzlich zu dem
Signal an die Ausschleusvorrichtung 8 ein weiteres Signal
an die Steuerung der Abfüllanlage 2, um durch eine nicht
dargestellte Dosierstation die Zuführung des
abzufüllenden Produktes zu stoppen. Die fehlerhafte
Verpackung wird daher nicht abgefüllt, leer verschlossen
und weiter transportiert und erst in der
Ausschleusvorrichtung 8 ausgeschleust. Die Anzahl der
ausgeschleusten Packungen 4, 4', 4'' mit den zugehörigen
Fehlerklassen werden von der Zentralsteuerung 5 über die
Schnittstelle 15 zur Produktionserfassungs-Software, dem
ggf. vorhandenen Produktionsdatenerfassungssystem oder
einem anderen Abrechnungssystem mitgeteilt. Aufgrund
dieser Dateninformationen kann nun eine exakte
Kostenabrechnung für den Packstoffhersteller erstellt
werden. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung muss der
Packstoffhersteller also seine Produktionsfehler nicht
mehr aufwendig und kostenintensiv entfernen. Die
Fehlerdaten werden an den Abfüller weitergegeben und
werden bei der eigentlichen Abfüllung aussortiert. Auf
diese Weise kann der Abfüllbetrieb dem
Packstoffhersteller einen erheblichen Aufwand sparen. Die
Kosten der abfüllseitigen Entfernung von
Produktionsfehlern sind in der Regel wesentlich geringer
als eine entsprechende Qualitätskontrolle beim
Packstoffhersteller.Is by the
Fig. 2 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der
erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. Dabei sind eine
Vereinzelungseinheit 16 und eine Aufformeinheit 17 vor
der eigentlichen Abfüllanlage 2 angeordnet. Auch diese
können wiederum mit weiteren Detektoren versehen sein, so
dass in zusätzlich angeordneten Ausschleusvorrichtungen
8', 8" fehlerhafte Zuschnitte bzw. fehlerbehaftete
Leerpackungen ausgeschleust werden. Die entsprechend
detektierten Daten werden über die Zentralsteuerung 5 an
zugehörige Schnittstellen 14' und 14" an die
Anschleusvorrichtungen 8' und 8'' weitergegeben. Auf
diese Weise ist es möglich, jede, die Abfüllanlage 2
erreichende Packung mit dem abzufüllenden Produkt 3 zu
befüllen.Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of the
