  • the present invention relates to a method for sorting out Missing bottles from a bottle crate conveyed on a box conveyor, and a removal device, in particular for carrying out the described procedure.
  • the process is particularly concerned with the sorting of empty bottles.
  • bottles There are a variety of bottles, and here in particular from different beer bottles.
  • green and brown Bottles of different shapes are known. Are best known however, the brown 0.51 bottles with a short neck.
  • the bottle crates with unmixed bottles i.e. without missing bottles in other words, without non-production bottles
  • Empties unpackers are fed.
  • Non-production bottles are those that are not produced, i.e. are not filled; this can be bottles from the own company, but also those from other companies.
  • the function of the gripping member is by a the vessel color recognizing sensor controllable, the color of the Vessel-recognizing sensor should be able to be carried with the gripping member.
  • DE 25 24 183 C3 describes a device for unpacking bottles known from boxes, the device having a control device Has test elements to only bottles of a certain size or To take texture.
  • DE 43 32 434 C1 describes a method and an apparatus for Sorting various objects, and here in particular Bottles, which also has a detection device for bottles recognizable in the same way, and accordingly from the collection containers remove.
  • DE-OS 198 28 765 also describes a method and a Device for the selective sorting of bottles from crates. described herein is also a gripping mechanism for grasping the bottles preferably works with negative pressure.
  • EP 0 638 478 in turn describes a device for removal of bottles from crates, here again only bottles with certain Features should be taken from the corresponding container.
  • a sorting device e.g. B. from EP 0 569 689 A2 or DE 200 06 059 U1, known, by the existing in a box Missing bottles are removed after detection and on bottle belts be turned off. These bottle tapes that hold the bottles are at different levels. A is also described herein Unpacker with gripping tulips that can be controlled individually in the sense that each gripping tulip captures a bottle. It says on the individual bottle lanes below a variety of personnel to sort by hand Make bottles according to the individual bottle types.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a method of the beginning Provide mentioned type with which the sorting is much cheaper and is also quicker to accomplish.
  • the missing bottles of the at least one type of missing bottle after detection by a Detection device by a removal device the box on the Box track taken, the misprints taken in at least one other, second box can be set, the is located next to the box conveyor, the second box as Buffer serves, after a certain number of in the Missing bottles collected such missing bottles in the intermediate storage box removed from the buffer box and into a box on the Box track can be set by the removal device, this box filled with missing bottles is removed from the box conveyor.
  • the removal device comprises a plurality of grippers, whereby for actuating the Gripper a piston cylinder drive is provided, and wherein the gripper can be controlled individually and can also be moved individually vertically.
  • the detection device is now controlled by the detection device in such a way that the missing bottles are those on the box conveyor Gutkasten be removed, and in a so-called buffer box can be set.
  • the economic advantage lies consequently also in that the removal device is able to selectively pick up and also dispense bottles.
  • This The buffer box is located on a shelf next to the Box track and is just as accessible to the removal device as that Crate track. There is not only one on this shelf Buffer box to hold the missing bottles, but above in addition to other temporary storage boxes for other types of Missing bottles also include such a buffer box for storing Good bottles.
  • a major advantage of this invention is therefore that none individual bottles have to be traded more, but only completely filled boxes can be transported on the box conveyor.
  • An essential feature of the invention is therefore also in the Thoughts to compress the empties in the bottle crates, d. H. for that too ensure that the crates are actually completely filled with empties.
  • the main advantage of this method is that only one only box track is needed, a single detection device and consequently, only a single removal device. Indeed is also a prerequisite that the number of goods boxes on the Box tracks are fed to the sorting, i.e. exclusively the boxes and not the bottles are around 99%.
  • the number of storage boxes roughly corresponds to the number of missing bottle types. Are preferred however, at least two more than continuous storage boxes sorting bottle types provided.
  • the invention also relates to a removal device for bottles According to claim 9.
  • a removal device for bottles According to claim 9.
  • Such a removal device in particular for Implementation of the method involves several grippers. Through these grippers, which are known per se, the bottle is in the area of the bottle head detected.
  • Such a gripper works pneumatically and pulls the bottle either by negative pressure or the gripper is purely mechanical trained and grasps the bottle in the area of the bottle head.
  • this removal device provides that the Several grippers can be individually controlled and individually moved vertically are. This against the following background.
  • the missing bottles from one Bottle crate removed. These missing bottles can then either can be stored together in a storage box, or accordingly assigned to your type of different storage boxes and set there become. This means that selectively a single bottle of a corresponding one Box can be assigned. It is then necessary that the gripper are individually controllable to selectively the bottles a box to be able to assign.
  • a gripper which is preferably for Actuation has a piston cylinder drive, is a compartment Compartment arrangement assigned.
  • Such a compartment arrangement stands out in the simplest case from a bottle crate, in the area of Bottom openings are provided through which the grippers protrude. From this it becomes clear that the respective bottles in one by the grippers Be drawn in.
  • the advantage of arranging the grippers in one Compartment equipment consists of the fact that the A swinging of the bottles is avoided because these as already stated, hang in the compartment and at most against the walls of the field. A destruction of the bottles Beating against each other is therefore excluded.
  • a box conveyor 1 provided, in addition to the box conveyor 1 two trays 2 and 3rd are provided.
  • the so-called Buffer boxes in the present case only on storage 2, which is right next to the box conveyor at the same height as the box conveyor 1, such buffer boxes are provided.
  • the Detection device and the removal device itself are on the Figures 1a to 1 c and 2a to 2c not shown, since in the present case based on these figures only the method of sorting explained shall be.
  • the sorting is initially based on FIGS. 1 a to 1 c as follows
  • the bottle case designated 10 has a number of Good bottles 11 (dashed lines) and a number of missing bottles 12 (crossed dashed lines).
  • Missing bottles 12 fed to the intermediate storage box 20 and there set.
  • a second intermediate storage box 25 contains good bottles 11, with these good bottles 11 located on the bottle conveyor 1
  • Bottle crate is filled up.
  • the bottle crate 10 runs Collection packer too.
  • the storage box 20 can also be seen in FIG. 2a Missing bottles 12 completely filled.
  • Another bottle crate 10 is located now on the box track 1, this box also a number of good bottles 11 and a number of missing bottles 12. Out this bottle crate is now only the good bottles 11 removed and set in the buffer box 25.
  • the essence of the invention therefore also consists in the idea that To compress empties in the bottle crates, d. H. to ensure that the Boxes are actually completely filled with empties.
  • the advantage of this The process essentially consists of only one Box track is needed, a single detection device and consequently only a single removal device. However also a requirement that the number of goods boxes on the Bottle conveyor of the sorting are fed, so only the Boxes and not the bottles is around 99%.
  • the number of storage boxes roughly corresponds to the number of missing bottle types.
  • the invention also relates to a Removal device, in particular for performing the method, such as previously described. 3, this removal device is distinguished 50 by a compartment device 60 with the total designated 70 Grab.
  • the compartment device 60 consists of individual elongated compartments 65 which approximately the size of the bottle to be accommodated, for example the Diameter of a beer bottle. In this respect, this is Compartment arrangement quite comparable to a conventional one Bottle crate with no floor.
  • the grippers labeled 70 In the area of the missing soil are the grippers labeled 70. These grabs stand out one end through the actual gripping device 75 and have Actuation of a piston cylinder drive 76 to the gripping device to proceed according to arrow 78. It is essential that the individual grippers can be controlled individually by the detection device.
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows the removal device 50 on a frame 90 above the box conveyor 1 and the trays 2 and 3.
  • the removal device 50 is held so that it can be moved in the frame 90 in the X and Y directions, wherein the removal device for sorting both on the shelves, as the box conveyor can also be moved over a certain length
