Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for checking rod-shaped objects, in particular cigarettes according to the respective preamble of the independent claims.
  • the pamphlets EP 1 048 568 A1 such as DE 37 33 955 A1 show a method in which a tester having plunger is moved toward a cigarette formation. When individual plungers of the tester meet standard cigarettes, actuation signals are triggered. If the plungers do not hit any cigarettes at certain test positions, a signal will be lost. With this method, it is not possible to detect cigarettes which have a length deviating from a nominal value, too long.
  • the invention is accordingly an object of the invention to provide a test method and a test apparatus, in which / in which the above-mentioned disadvantages are avoided.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that the position of the unverorgans determined upon generation of the actuating signal and the determined position is evaluated. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a corresponding device according to the invention, which is characterized in that the position of the test element can be determined and the determined position can be stored and evaluated in response to the actuation signal.
  • Fig. 1 shows as packaging machine 10 a so-called soft packer and there the cigarette feed.
  • a soft packer is well known. It has a cigarette feed chute 11 in an upper area. In the lower area are shown as objects to be packaged a plurality of cigarettes 12 by the visible in plan view front or filter side as a circular contour.
  • a plurality of test shafts 13 are provided, which pass through the individual cigarettes 12 successively under the influence of gravity.
  • Each test shaft 13 is associated with a pressure slider 14 and a locking slide 15.
  • the pressing slider 14 is provided for pressing at least one cigarette 12 in each case against a wall of the test shaft 13.
  • Fig. 2 shows a section through the soft packer along the line II-II ( Fig. 1 ) through one of the test shafts 13, so that the interior of this test shaft 13 is shown with the cigarettes 12 contained therein.
  • a movable test member 20 is provided with a number of plungers 21 for testing the tobacco-side end faces of the cigarettes 12.
  • the test element 20 comprises a housing through which the plungers 21 protrude outward. Within the housing, a guide of the plunger 21 is provided. Furthermore, within the housing, means 23, for example an induction coil, for triggering the actuation signal when the plunger 21 is deflected and electronics for storing or processing and for forwarding the or each actuation signal are provided.
  • the test element 20 is in Fig.
  • the test member 20 performs an oscillating movement, so that it moves on the one hand to the cigarettes 12 (forward movement) and thereby impinge the ends of the plunger 21 on the front sides of the cigarette 12, whereby the plunger 21 are deflected. After this test, the test element 20 moves away from the cigarettes 12 (backward movement), so that the cigarettes 12 are released again.
  • the forward and backward movement of the tester 20 is illustrated by the double-headed arrow.
  • an electrically evaluable signal (actuating signal) is generated for this plunger 21.
  • actuating signal an electrically evaluable signal
  • Details for generating the actuation signal may be submitted to the same Applicant US Pat. No. 6,508,138 be removed. Is a cigarette 12 incomplete filled with tobacco, the on This cigarette 12 impinging ram 21 later, ie at a different position of the test element 20, deflected as a striking a proper cigarette plunger 21. Accordingly, in such a case, then the actuation signal later, ie triggered at a different position of the test element 20.
  • the cigarettes 12 In order for the cigarettes 12 to be in a defined position in the respective test shaft 13 during the test procedure, ie during the forward movement of the test element 20, it is provided that at least one cigarette 12 in the flow direction below the respectively to be tested cigarettes 12 through the pressure slider 14 in the test shaft 13th is held.
  • the pressing slider 14 is in Fig. 2 as shown by the pressed-cigarette 12 hidden dashed contour.
  • the cigarette 12 in front of the pressing slide 14 is held by pressing against the wall of the test shaft 13 during the test procedure.
  • the locking slide 15 In the flow direction of the cigarettes 12 below the position of the ⁇ nd Wegschiebers 14 is the locking slide 15. Between Andschreibschieber 14 and locking slide 15 is room for exactly as many cigarettes as the test member 20 for each test slot 13 plunger 21 has.
  • the pressing slider 14 releases the test shaft 13, this is blocked by the locking slide 15, so that only a defined number of cigarettes 12 moves forward in the test shaft 13.
  • the locking slide 15 releases the test shaft 13
  • the pressing slider 14 is activated, so that only the cigarettes 12 fall in the section between pressure slider 14 and locking slide 15 in the test shaft 13 down.
  • the space between the pressure slider 14 and locking slide 15 is particularly dimensioned so that there are exactly as many cigarettes 12 place in it, as are checked by the test device 20 in a test procedure.
  • Fig. 3a Plotted in a coordinate system, a travel path 30 of the test element 20.
  • a time base As a time base, a time base based on the operating speed of the packaging machine 10 is preferably used.
  • it is customary, for example, to use a full rotation of a main axis assigned in particular to the packaging machine 10.
  • the rotation of the main axis is measured with an incremental or angle encoder.
  • the illustrated travel path 30 of the test element 20 has performed a complete forward and a complete backward movement during one complete revolution of the main axis.
  • the illustrated travel path 30 of the test device 20 over the time base has the form of a half wave of a sine wave.
  • the actuating signal 31 of a plunger 21 which has a rectangular shape as a binary signal (operated / not actuated). As soon as the actuation signal 31 is present for a plunger 21, the current position of the test element 20 is recorded.
  • Fig. 3a Is shown in Fig. 3a the case that the actuating signal 31 before a maximum deflection of the test element 20 in the forward movement to z. B. thirty path units, namely pending at twenty-eight path units.
  • One of the plunger 21 thus meets the tobacco-side end face of a cigarette 12 and is thereby deflected such that the actuation signal 31 is triggered before the test element 20 has completed the forward movement. If one of the plungers 21 encounters a cigarette 12 much earlier during the forward movement of the test element 20, the beginning of the actuation signal 31 shifts to the left on the ordinate. The cause of an earlier triggering of the actuation signal 31 may be an excessively long cigarette 12. If the cigarette 12, however, too short or insufficiently filled with tobacco, the beginning of the actuation signal 31 shifts according to the ordinate to the right.
  • two limit values 32, 33 are used, wherein the respective cigarette 12 is still evaluated as error-free in the case of an actuation signal 31 generated within these limit values 32, 33 and a cigarette 12 which actuates an actuation signal 31 outside these limit values 32, 33 has evaluated as faulty, so that an error signal is generated accordingly.
  • the individual evaluation of all actuation signals 31 is only conditionally practicable in the case of the multiplicity of test shafts 13 and of the plurality of cigarettes 12 examined in a test procedure in each test shaft 13.
  • the actuation signals 31 are added over the time base and a resulting cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 is evaluated instead of the individual actuation signals 31.
  • a plurality of such cumulative curves 34, 35, 36 are shown.
  • Each cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 begins during the forward movement of the test element 20 with a zero height, because initially none of the plunger 21 is deflected and correspondingly no actuation signal 31 is present. Accordingly, each summation curve 34, 35, 36 ends with the height zero, because during the backward movement of theticians 20 at some point a position is reached, in turn, none of the plunger 21 is more deflected, so that accordingly no actuation signal 31 is present. Furthermore, each cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 reaches a maximum at the point of inflection of the movement of the test element 20, because at this point all or at least most of the plungers 21 are deflected and thus a corresponding number of actuation signals 31 is present. If all plungers 21 are deflected at this position, eighty-four plungers 21 correspondingly produce eighty-four pending actuation signals 31, so that the cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 has a height of eighty-four units.
  • a first method for examining the cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 is thus to determine the duration of the increase starting from a first threshold value as start value 37, in particular zero, up to a second threshold value as maximum value 38 in relation to the respective position of the test element 20 Reaching the start and maximum values 37, 38 to investigate.
  • a first threshold value as start value 37, in particular zero
  • a second threshold value as maximum value 38 in relation to the respective position of the test element 20 Reaching the start and maximum values 37, 38 to investigate.
  • the peak curve 38 shows the maximum value 38 within the interval predetermined by the limit values 32, 33, the starting value 37 is reached even before the interval, which indicates that some plungers 21 have been deflected too early among the tested cigarettes 12 at least some cigarettes 12 were longer than expected or intended.
  • the summation curve 36 shown in dashed lines only the starting value 37 is reached within the interval defined by the limit values 32, 33, while the maximum value 38 is reached only outside the interval. This indicates that a plurality of the plungers 21 have been deflected "relatively late" during the forward movement of theticians 20, so that among the tested cigarettes 12 a significant number of cigarettes 12 is either too short or insufficient filled with tobacco are.
  • the positions X and Y indicate respectively the beginning and the end of the evaluation.
  • the interval defined by the abovementioned limit values 32, 33 is in Fig. 3b shown as a hatched area.
  • An alternative possibility of examining the cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 is to examine the duration during which the respective cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 exceeds a threshold value 39. The number of time units is counted while of which the respective cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 extends above the threshold value 39. The dot-dashed sum curve 35 runs during the longest time above the threshold value 39.
  • a cumulative curve of the type shown in phantom curve 35 sets when among the tested cigarettes 12, a plurality of cigarettes 12 are too long.
  • the dashed lines shown cumulative curve 36 is only a short time above the threshold 39.
  • such a cumulative curve 36 is set when many of the tested cigarettes 12 were too short or insufficiently filled with tobacco.
  • a lower and an upper temporal threshold value are introduced accordingly, wherein the lower temporal threshold value is selected such that the duration during which the cumulative curve 36 shown in dashed lines exceeds the threshold value 39 is below this temporal threshold value and the duration during which the dot-dashed sum curve 35 exceeds the threshold value 39 is above this time threshold value. Accordingly, the duration during which the sum curve 34 shown in a solid line exceeds the threshold value 39 lies between this lower and upper time threshold value, so that this cumulative curve 34 can be evaluated so that the tested cigarettes 12 fulfill the requirements.
  • Each plunger 21 is assigned to a memory of a processing unit exactly one memory cell (all not shown), wherein the respective memory cell represents the value of the respective actuation signal 31. That is, when triggered actuation signal 31, the respective memory cell has a value of "logic one".
  • the corresponding actuation signal 31 disappears and thus at the associated memory cell the state "logical one" disappears. Accordingly, the result of the combination now no longer only has “logical ones” but at least one "logical zero". Even if this situation occurs, the position of the checking device 20 or the associated time is recorded. If the first position determined in this way or the first point in time or both of the determined positions / points in time or the difference of these positions / points of time are within predetermined limit or threshold values, then it is a cumulative curve 34, 35, 36 at which the tested cigarettes 12 predetermined criteria.
  • the mentioned but not shown processing unit is eg a controller or the like.
  • the or each test element 20 is connected to the processing unit in a conventional manner, for example via the in Fig. 2 .
  • Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 shown cable terminals of the respective test element 20, connected to the processing unit, so that the respective actuation signals can be forwarded to the processing unit.
  • the processing unit position data which are supplied for example by the Inkremtenal- or angle encoder.
  • a per se known cigarette turret 40 is provided for packaging the cigarettes 12 in cigarette packs.
  • This comprises individual pockets 41 in which the cigarettes 12 are in the usual three-layered formation - cigarette formation.
  • the cigarettes 12 are taken from the cigarette trays 17 in the pockets 41 (in the illustration in the upper region of the cigarette turret 40) and after a corresponding rotation of the cigarette turret 40 from the pockets 41 for further handling to subsequent, not shown facilities handed over (in the illustration in the lower part of the cigarette turret 40).
  • the cigarette formation in the pocket 41 is secured by a spring steel sheet or the like against undesired displacement in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the pocket 41.
  • test elements 20 In order to check the cigarette formation, two opposing test elements 20 are provided, each of which in principle corresponds to the already in Fig. 2 However, with regard to the number and the position of the respective plunger 21 are placed on the formation of the cigarettes 12 in a pocket 41. Both test elements 20 likewise perform an oscillating movement, so that during a forward movement, a plunger 21 impinging on a cigarette 12 is deflected and an associated actuation signal 31 is generated.
  • the movement of the cigarette turret 40 takes place cyclically. In this case, there are always two pockets 41 in the region of two front and rear test elements 20.
  • the rear test elements 20 are shown in FIG Fig. 4 not visible due to their position behind the cigarette turret 40. They are designed to control the filter side of each cigarette formation.
  • the front-side test elements 20 are provided in accordance with the control of the tobacco side of the respective cigarette formation.
  • Front and back testing devices 20 are shown in FIG Fig. 6 shown in a section along the line III-III Fig. 4 is shown.
  • Each pair of test members 20 performs an oscillating motion.
  • each pair of test elements 20 is on a common carrier, about a plate or the like, mounted.
  • the oscillating movement corresponds to that already in Fig. 3a illustrated movement.
  • the oscillating movement of the respectively opposite test elements 20 takes place in such a way that the respective opposing test elements 20 move simultaneously and in the same direction to the cigarette formation located in the pocket 41.
  • both opposing test elements 20 also move simultaneously and in the same direction away from the cigarette formation.
  • the bag 41 is open on both sides, so that the plunger 21 of the opposing strigorgane 20 can reach the cigarette 21 located in the bag 41.
  • the individual actuation signals 31 ascertained for each test element 20 are added to summation curves 42, 43, 44, 45, as in FIG Fig. 5 shown. However, that's compared to Fig. 3b the height of the respective cumulative curve 42-45 lower, since at twenty cigarettes 12 in a cigarette formation of the associated twenty plungers 21 of the respective strigorgans 20 a maximum of twenty actuation signals 31 are triggered and thus the respective cumulative curve 42-45 has a maximum height of twenty units.
  • the examination of the cumulative curves 42-46 with regard to exceeding or falling below certain start and maximum and threshold values 37, 38, 39, for example within an interval defined by limit values 32, 33, corresponds to that already described with reference to FIG Fig. 3b described investigation.
  • an excessively narrow cumulative curve such as the cumulative curve 43 indicated by triangles, points to a cigarette formation with too short cigarettes 12, and too broad a cumulative curve, such as the cumulative curve 44 indicated by circular symbols, to a cigarette formation with cigarettes 12 that are too long
  • the actuation signals of those plungers 21 are detected by the opposing test elements 20, which hit the same cigarette 12, once on the front side and once on the tobacco side. Based on the detected time of concern of these actuation signals via the travel path 30 of the respective test element 20, a position information can be derived. From the time points detected for each cigarette 12 of the cigarette formation or from the position information derivable therefrom, the known distance of the opposing test elements 20 in a rest position, e.g.
  • information about the length of the respective cigarette 12 can be derived.
  • This derivative i. the execution of the mathematical or logical operations required for this purpose is carried out by the processing unit already mentioned.
  • the instructions required for this are stored in the processing unit in software or in hardware. If the determined length of the respective cigarette 12 is within a predetermined or predefinable range, the respective cigarette 12 is evaluated as being correct. If the determined lengths of all cigarettes 12 of a cigarette formation are within the range, the entire cigarette formation is evaluated as being correct. The cigarette formation can then - in a conventional manner - be given in the further course of the packaging process in a cigarette pack, so a cigarette box. By varying the predeterminable or predetermined range, the test can be adjusted at any time to new cigarette lengths.
  • a register for tracking this cigarette formation is set in the further packaging process.
  • the cigarette formation which may possibly already be in a complete or incomplete cigarette pack, is removed from the process.
