Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a system for tracking product data, for example quality data, brand information, production machine identification, production time, in a transport storage section of the tobacco processing industry.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method and a system for tracking product data of a product mass flow in a transport storage line of the tobacco processing industry.
- the invention achieves this object, in particular, by the following steps and corresponding device features: Generation of product data sets, each of which has approximately the same and consisting of more than one product portions of the in the Corresponding product mass flow entering transport memory section, writing the product data records in corresponding memory units of a data memory, and reading the product data sets corresponding to the product mass flow leaving the transport memory section from the data memory.
- the invention is based in particular on the virtual portioning of the product mass flow and the generation and storage of product data records that correspond to the individual product portions. By means of this subdivision, tracking according to the invention via a product portion of averaged product data is possible.
- the data memory has a memory input and a memory output, the product data records being written into the memory means via the memory input and stored there in a fixed order, and the product data records written to the memory means in an order corresponding to the order of the corresponding product portions in the transport memory segment , are read out of the storage means via the output.
- the transport storage line is a system for automatically transporting and / or storing the product mass flow.
- the data storage logically maps the transport storage path. If, for example, the transport storage path comprises a pure transport path or a FIFO storage in which the product mass flow enters an entrance and exits at an exit in the same sequence, the data storage expediently comprises a corresponding FIFO data storage (first in-first out principle).
- the transport storage section comprises a bag store into which the product mass flow enters and out of which the product mass flow emerges in the reverse order
- the data store expediently comprises a corresponding FILO or LIFO data memory (first in-last out or last in-first) out principle).
- a preferred implementation of a FIFO data memory is a ring memory, each with a movable read and write pointer. Preferably, their position is moved after writing a product data record or after the emergence of a product portion of the transport path to a logically adjacent memory unit.
- the position of the read or write pointer is held in the event of an interruption of the product mass flow entering the transport path or the product mass flow exiting the transport path.
- FIFO data memory is a FIFO stack (FIFO stack).
- FIFO stack FIFO stack
- Product data sets of product mass flow entering the transport path are written to the FIFO stack and product data sets of product mass flow exiting the transport path are read from the FIFO stack.
- a preferred implementation of a FILO data memory is accordingly a FILO stack (FILO stack).
- the invention is not limited to the aforementioned implementations of FIFO or FILO data memories.
- the use of, for example, shift registers is also encompassed by the invention.
- the portioning is carried out in uniform lengths of the product mass flow in the transport direction, since this size is particularly easy to determine from the conveying speed.
- portioning is also conceivable, for example in portions with an approximately equal number of individual products, or in portions of approximately the same weight.
- the length, or more generally the size, of the product portions is adjustable to allow adaptation to different requirements.
- the product data sets are preferably set up for storing the length of the product portion in the transport direction. This can be expedient in particular for transport storage sections with several conveyor sections of different conveying speed, since the length of the product portions varies here.
- the product data sets are preferably set up for storing a product occupancy identifier, which indicates whether the transport segment corresponding to the product data record is occupied by product. This may be appropriate to mark a missing or other occupancy of transport sections.
- the product data tracking system preferably comprises corresponding input or output sensors.
- each sub-store may be a ring store with a read and write pointer as described above.
- Each sub-memory can for example also be designed as a FIFO or FILO stack.
- the conveyor line 12 comprises a plurality of conveyor devices 14-17, which are drawn purely schematically as conveyor belts in the figures, but are by no means limited thereto.
- the conveyor line 12 comprises inter alia a FIFO cigarette storage 16 with a conveyor 18, the Length is variable depending on memory requirements, as in Fig. 1 indicated by dashed lines.
- the product data tracking system comprises a data processing unit 20 having a control means 21 and a storage means 22.
- the control means 21 requests production data from the cigarette production machine 10 and periodically writes respective production records 30a, 30b, 30c, ... into the storage means 22.
- the product mass flow 11 is virtually divided into product portions 11a, 11b, 11c, ..., as in FIG Fig. 1 indicated by the dotted lines.
- the control means 21 writes production data requested once per second by the cigarette production machine 10 as production data records 30a, 30b, 30c, ... into the storage means 22, this corresponds to one virtual portioning of the product mass flow 12 in product portions 11a, 11b, 11c, ... with a certain length, in this example a portion length of 20 cm.
- the production data record expediently contains production data averaged over a storage period.
- a production record 30 includes, for example, a field 31 for storing the cigarette brand, a field 32 for storing the label of the cigarette production machine 10, a field 33 for storing production date and time, a field 34 for storing the portion length (here in cm), and fields 35, 36, ... for storing cigarette quality data, such as mean weight, mean weight standard deviation, etc.
- the designation "1" in the product occupancy label field 40 indicates that the dataset 30 is a product portion and not, for example, an empty portion due to an interruption of the product mass flow 11 corresponds.
- a writing of production data sets in the storage means 22 takes place only when entering the conveyor line 12 product.
- the input sensor 23 is provided, which sends a corresponding signal to the control means 21 when entering into the conveyor line 12 product to activate the writing process or to interrupt the writing process in an interruption of entering the conveyor line 12 product mass flow by means of a corresponding signal.
- the storage means 22 comprises at least one FIFO stack 26 in which the product data sets 30a, 30b, 30c,... Are stored in a fixed sequence in the form of a stack, with the product data sets 30a, 30b, first deposited on the stack 30c, ... in the same order 30a, 30b, 30c, ... are read out again by ablation of the stack (FIFO principle).
- an output sensor 24 is preferably provided in order to detect product emerging from the conveying path 12.
- the control means 21 read the associated product data set from the storage means 22 and provide for further use, for example, to the packing machine 13 transmit. This happens when using a FIFO stack simply by periodically removing a product record from the stack. Due to the defined sequence within the stack and the FIFO principle, it is ensured that the product data sets 30a, 30b, 30c,... Are correctly assigned to the product portions 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d,... Emerging from the conveyor line 12, and Although independent of the respective length of the transport path 12, for example, in the cigarette memory 16.
- the readout period is suitably adapted to the exit period of the exiting product portions 11 a, 11 b, 11 c, 11 d, ..., with the length of the exiting product portions 11 a, 11 b , 11c, 11d, ... is related. With a constant length of the exiting product portions 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, ... and unchanged conveying speed over the entire transport path 12, the read-out period expediently corresponds to the storage period.
- the information about entering the conveyor line 12 product may, for example, from one of the conveyor section 12 upstream component, here the cigarette production machine 10, when there is a product serving characterizing information is present.
- FIGs. 3A to 3C serve to explain the storage and read operation for a ring buffer and a FIFO stack.
- Fig. 3A is shown schematically passing through a cigarette mass flow through the conveyor line 12, wherein successive times are shown from top to bottom.
- the vertical line “E” denotes the input, the vertical line “A” the output of the conveying path 12.
- a product portion arranged above the line “E” is detected by the input sensor 23, a product portion arranged above the line "A” by the output sensor 24.
- Fig. 3B in each case the corresponding memory state of a ring memory 25 in the memory means 22 for storing the product data sets 30a, 30b, 30c, ... is shown.
- Fig. 3A in each case the corresponding memory state of a ring memory 25 in the memory means 22 for storing the product data sets 30a, 30b, 30c, ... is shown.
- the corresponding memory state of a FIFO stack 26 is shown in the storage means 22 for storing the product data sets 30a, 30b, 30c, ..., respectively.
- the memory units 25a, 25b, 25c,... Of the ring memory 25 and the memory units 26a, 26b, 26c,... Of the FIFO stack 26 respectively serve to store a product data record 30.
- the ring memory 25 has a write pointer 27 and a read pointer 28 on.
- the FIFO stack 26 has a stack input 50 and a stack output 51.
- the read pointer 28 is shifted by a memory unit.
- the product record "4" is written in the memory unit 25d indicated by the write pointer 27 and the write pointer 27 is shifted by one memory unit
- the product record "2" is read from the memory unit 25b indicated by the read pointer 28 and the read pointer 28 is read by a memory unit postponed.
- the product data set "3" is read from the memory unit 25c identified by the read pointer 28 and the read pointer 28 is shifted by one memory unit.
- the output sensor 24 detects that the product mass flow 11 exiting the transport path 12 is interrupted, and therefore interrupts the reading of product data sets from the ring memory 25.
- the output sensor 24 determines that product exits the transport path 12. Therefore, the product record "4" is read from the memory unit 25d indicated by the read pointer 28, and the read pointer 28 is read by a memory unit postponed.
- the transport path 12 is empty and the ring memory 25 is in a state as at time t1.
- the memory is designed as a ring memory 25, so that after a certain final memory unit, the write and read pointers 27, 28 are moved to an initial memory unit (see time t11 ).
- the stack 26 is empty at time t1.
- the stack memory 26 has a stack input 50 and a stack output 51.
- incoming product entering the conveyor line 12 is detected by the input sensor 23, a corresponding product data set "1" generated by the control means 21 and placed on the stack, that is written by the stack input 50 in the stack 26.
- product entering the conveyor line 12 is detected by the input sensor 23, a corresponding product data record "2" is generated by the control means 21 and written to the stack memory 26.
- the product data set "3" corresponding to the product portion "3" is written into the stack memory 26 at the time t4.
- the input sensor 23 determines that the product mass flow 11 entering the transport path 12 is interrupted, and therefore discontinues writing product data records to the stack memory 26.
- the output sensor 24 determines that product exits the transport path 12. Therefore, it takes the product record "1" from the stack, ie it reads the product record "1” from the stack output 51 of the stack 26 from.
- the product record "4" is written to the stack memory 26, and the product record "2" is read from the stack memory 26.
- the product record "3" is read from the stack memory 26.
- the output sensor 24 determines that the product mass flow 11 exiting the transport path 12 is interrupted, and therefore stops reading product data sets from the stack memory 26.
- the output sensor 24 determines that product exits the transport path 12. Therefore, the product record "4" is read from the stack memory 26.
- the transport path 12 and therefore also the stack memory 26 is empty.
- Each conveyor 14-17 of the transport path 12 may be a separate partial data memory, in particular a ring memory 25 each with write and read pointers 27, 28, or in each case a FIFO (or optionally FILO) stack memory 26, be assigned.
- a FIFO or optionally FILO stack memory 26
- Fig. 1 Let it be assumed that the conveyor 14 moves at 20 cm / s, the conveyor 15, however, at 25 cm / s and the product portions have a length L of 20 cm when entering the conveying path 12. After the transfer of the product portions from the conveyor 14 to the conveyor 15, they become longer and shallower due to the speed increase; more precisely, they have a length determined by the ratio of the conveying speeds of 25 cm.
- the length specification in box 34 of the product data set accordingly changed the ratio of the conveyor speeds and written the changed product data set in the sub-memory of the subsequent conveyor 15.
- each conveying device or each transport section is assigned its own partial data store. This is dispensable, for example, if, instead of the length of the product portions, a variable independent of the conveying speed is used for determining the product portions, for example the number of individual products per product portion. A single data store for the entire transport storage distance can then be sufficient.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe insbesondere durch folgende Schritte und entsprechende Vorrichtungsmerkmale: Erzeugung von Produktdatensätzen, die jeweils etwa gleichen und aus mehr als einem Produkt bestehenden Portionen des in die Transportspeicherstrecke eintretenden Produktmassenstroms entsprechen, Schreiben der Produktdatensätze in entsprechende Speichereinheiten eines Datenspeichers, und Lesen der dem aus der Transportspeicherstrecke austretenden Produktmassenstrom entsprechenden Produktdatensätze aus dem Datenspeicher. Die Erfindung beruht insbesondere auf der virtuellen Portionierung des Produktmassenstroms und der Erzeugung und Speicherung von Produktdatensätzen, die den einzelnen Produktportionen entsprechen. Mittels dieser Unterteilung ist erfindungsgemäß eine Verfolgung über eine Produktportion gemittelter Produktdaten möglich.The invention achieves this object, in particular, by the following steps and corresponding device features: Generation of product data sets, each of which has approximately the same and consisting of more than one product portions of the in the Corresponding product mass flow entering transport memory section, writing the product data records in corresponding memory units of a data memory, and reading the product data sets corresponding to the product mass flow leaving the transport memory section from the data memory. The invention is based in particular on the virtual portioning of the product mass flow and the generation and storage of product data records that correspond to the individual product portions. By means of this subdivision, tracking according to the invention via a product portion of averaged product data is possible.
Der Datenspeicher weist einen Speichereingang und einen Speicherausgang auf, wobei die Produktdatensätze über den Speichereingang in das Speichermittel geschrieben und dort in einer festgelegten Reihenfolge gespeichert werden, und die in das Speichermittel geschriebenen Produktdatensätze in einer Reihenfolge, die der Reihenfolge der entsprechenden Produktportionen in der Transportspeicherstrecke entspricht, aus dem Speichermittel über den Ausgang ausgelesen werden.The data memory has a memory input and a memory output, the product data records being written into the memory means via the memory input and stored there in a fixed order, and the product data records written to the memory means in an order corresponding to the order of the corresponding product portions in the transport memory segment , are read out of the storage means via the output.
Die Transportspeicherstrecke ist eine Anlage zum automatischen Transportieren und/oder Speichern des Produktmassenstroms. Vorzugsweise bildet der Datenspeicher die Transportspeicherstrecke logisch ab. Wenn die Transportspeicherstrecke beispielsweise eine reine Transportstrecke oder einen FIFO-Speicher umfasst, bei der der Produktmassenstrom an einem Eingang eintritt und an einem Ausgang in der gleichen Reihenfolge austritt, umfasst der Datenspeicher zweckmäßigerweise einen entsprechenden FIFO-Datenspeicher (first in-first out-Prinzip). Wenn die Transportspeicherstrecke beispielsweise einen Sackspeicher umfasst, in den der Produktmassenstrom eintritt und aus dem der Produktmassenstrom in der umgekehrten Reihenfolge austritt, umfasst der Datenspeicher zweckmäßigerweise einen entsprechenden FILO- bzw. LIFO-Datenspeicher (first in-last out- bzw. last in-first out-Prinzip).The transport storage line is a system for automatically transporting and / or storing the product mass flow. Preferably, the data storage logically maps the transport storage path. If, for example, the transport storage path comprises a pure transport path or a FIFO storage in which the product mass flow enters an entrance and exits at an exit in the same sequence, the data storage expediently comprises a corresponding FIFO data storage (first in-first out principle). , If, for example, the transport storage section comprises a bag store into which the product mass flow enters and out of which the product mass flow emerges in the reverse order, the data store expediently comprises a corresponding FILO or LIFO data memory (first in-last out or last in-first) out principle).
Eine bevorzugte Umsetzung eines FIFO-Datenspeichers ist ein Ringspeicher mit jeweils einem verschiebbaren Schreib- und Lesezeiger. Vorzugsweise wird deren Position nach dem Schreiben eines Produktdatensatzes bzw. nach dem Austreten einer Produktportion aus der Transportstrecke zu einer logisch benachbarten Speichereinheit verschoben.A preferred implementation of a FIFO data memory is a ring memory, each with a movable read and write pointer. Preferably, their position is moved after writing a product data record or after the emergence of a product portion of the transport path to a logically adjacent memory unit.
Weiter vorzugsweise wird die Position der Schreib- oder Lesezeiger bei einer Unterbrechung des in die Transportstrecke eintretenden Produktmassenstroms bzw. des aus der Transportstrecke austretenden Produktmassenstroms festgehalten.Further preferably, the position of the read or write pointer is held in the event of an interruption of the product mass flow entering the transport path or the product mass flow exiting the transport path.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Umsetzung eines FIFO-Datenspeichers ist ein FIFO-Stapelspeicher (FIFO stack). Produktdatensätze von in die Transportstrecke eintretendem Produktmassenstrom werden in den FIFO-Stapelspeicher geschrieben und Produktdatensätze von aus der Transportstrecke austretendem Produktmassenstrom werden aus dem FIFO-Stapelspeichers gelesen.Another preferred implementation of a FIFO data memory is a FIFO stack (FIFO stack). Product data sets of product mass flow entering the transport path are written to the FIFO stack and product data sets of product mass flow exiting the transport path are read from the FIFO stack.
Eine bevorzugte Umsetzung eines FILO-Datenspeichers ist dementsprechend ein FILO-Stapelspeicher (FILO stack).A preferred implementation of a FILO data memory is accordingly a FILO stack (FILO stack).
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die genannten Umsetzungen von FIFO- bzw. FILO-Datenspeichern beschränkt. Auch die Verwendung beispielsweise von Schieberegistern ist von der Erfindung umfasst.The invention is not limited to the aforementioned implementations of FIFO or FILO data memories. The use of, for example, shift registers is also encompassed by the invention.
Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Portionierung in gleichmäßige Längenabschnitte des Produktmassenstroms in Transportrichtung, da diese Größe besonders einfach aus der Fördergeschwindigkeit bestimmbar ist. Denkbar sind aber auch andere Arten der Portionierung, beispielsweise in Portionen mit einer etwa gleichen Anzahl von einzelnen Produkten, oder in Portionen etwa gleichen Gewichts.Preferably, the portioning is carried out in uniform lengths of the product mass flow in the transport direction, since this size is particularly easy to determine from the conveying speed. However, other types of portioning are also conceivable, for example in portions with an approximately equal number of individual products, or in portions of approximately the same weight.
Vorzugsweise ist die Länge, bzw. allgemeiner die Größe, der Produktportionen einstellbar, um eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Anforderungen zu ermöglichen. Vorzugsweise sind die Produktdatensätze zur Speicherung der Länge der Produktportion in Transportrichtung eingerichtet. Dies kann insbesondere für Transportspeicherstrecken mit mehreren Förderabschnitten unterschiedlicher Fördergeschwindigkeit zweckmäßig sein, da hier die Länge der Produktportionen variiert. Vorzugsweise sind die Produktdatensätze zur Speicherung einer Produktbelegungskennzeichnung eingerichtet, die angibt, ob der dem Produktdatensatz entsprechende Transportabschnitt mit Produkt belegt ist. Dies kann zweckmäßig sein, um eine fehlende oder anderweitige Belegung von Transportabschnitten zu kennzeichnen.Preferably, the length, or more generally the size, of the product portions is adjustable to allow adaptation to different requirements. The product data sets are preferably set up for storing the length of the product portion in the transport direction. This can be expedient in particular for transport storage sections with several conveyor sections of different conveying speed, since the length of the product portions varies here. The product data sets are preferably set up for storing a product occupancy identifier, which indicates whether the transport segment corresponding to the product data record is occupied by product. This may be appropriate to mark a missing or other occupancy of transport sections.
Zur Erkennung von in die Transportspeicherstrecke eintretendem bzw. daraus austretendem Produktmassenstrom umfasst das Produktdatenverfolgungssystem vorzugsweise entsprechende Eingangs- bzw. Ausgangssensoren.For detecting product mass flow entering or leaving the transport storage section, the product data tracking system preferably comprises corresponding input or output sensors.
Bei einer Mehrzahl von Förderabschnitten bzw. Fördervorrichtungen in der Förderstrecke kann es zweckmäßig sein, jedem Förderabschnitt bzw. jeder Fördervorrichtung einen Teildatenspeicher zuzuordnen. Jeder Teilspeicher kann beispielsweise wie oben beschrieben ein Ringspeicher mit einem Schreib- und Lesezeiger sein. Jeder Teilspeicher kann beispielsweise auch als FIFO- bzw. FILO-Stapelspeicher ausgeführt sein.In the case of a plurality of conveying sections or conveying devices in the conveying path, it may be expedient to associate a partial data store with each conveying section or each conveying device. For example, each sub-store may be a ring store with a read and write pointer as described above. Each sub-memory can for example also be designed as a FIFO or FILO stack.

Aus einer Zigarettenproduktionsmaschine 10 treten Zigaretten aus und werden in Form eines ungeordneten Zigarettenstroms 11 mit beispielsweise in der Größenordnung von 1000 Zigaretten pro Meter Förderstrecke in Pfeilrichtung mittels einer Förderstrecke 12 zu einer Packmaschine 13 gefördert. Die Förderstrecke 12 umfasst eine Mehrzahl von Fördervorrichtungen 14-17, die in den Figuren rein schematisch als Förderbänder gezeichnet sind, jedoch keinesfalls hierauf beschränkt sind. Die Förderstrecke 12 umfasst unter anderem einen FIFO-Zigarettenspeicher 16 mit einer Fördereinrichtung 18, deren Länge je nach Speicherbedarf variabel ist, wie in
In der Zigarettenproduktionsmaschine 10 sind Produktdaten zu den produzierten Zigaretten vorhanden, beispielsweise Zigarettenqualitätsdaten, Markeninformation, eine Kennzeichnung der Produktionsmaschine 10, Datum und Uhrzeit der Produktion etc. Das Produktdatenverfolgungssystem umfaßt eine Datenverarbeitungseinheit 20 mit einem Steuerungsmittel 21 und einem Speichermittel 22. Das Steuerungsmittel 21 fordert Produktionsdaten von der Zigarettenproduktionsmaschine 10 an und schreibt periodisch entsprechende Produktionsdatensätze 30 a, 30b, 30c, ... in das Speichermittel 22. Hierdurch wird der Produktmassenstrom 11 virtuell in Produktportionen 11 a, 11b, 11 c, ... unterteilt, wie in

Am austrittsseitigen Ende der Förderstrecke 12 ist vorzugsweise ein Ausgangssensor 24 vorgesehen, um aus der Förderstrecke 12 austretendes Produkt festzustellen. Bei aus der Förderstrecke 12 austretendem Produkt kann bei Bedarf das Steuermittel 21 den zugehörigen Produktdatensatz aus dem Speichermittel 22 auslesen und zur weiteren Nutzung bereitstellen, beispielsweise an die Packmaschine 13 übermitteln. Dies geschieht bei Verwendung eines FIFO-Stapelspeichers einfach durch periodisches Abtragen eines Produktdatensatzes vom Stapel. Aufgrund der festgelegten Reihenfolge innerhalb des Stapels und des FIFO-Prinzips ist sichergestellt, dass die Produktdatensätze 30a, 30b, 30c, ... den aus der Förderstrecke 12 austretenden Produktportionen 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, ... richtig zugeordnet werden, und zwar unabhängig von der jeweiligen Länge der Transportstrecke 12 beispielsweise in dem Zigarettenspeicher 16. Die Ausleseperiode ist zweckmäßigerweise an die Austrittsperiode der austretenden Produktportionen 11 a, 11b, 11c, 11d, ... angepaßt, die mit der Länge der austretenden Produktportionen 11 a, 11b, 11c, 11d, ... zusammenhängt. Bei konstanter Länge der austretenden Produktportionen 11 a, 11b, 11c, 11d, ... und unveränderter Fördergeschwindigkeit über die gesamte Transportstrecke 12 entspricht die Ausleseperiode zweckmäßigerweise der Speicherperiode.At the exit-side end of the conveying

Die Information über in die Förderstrecke 12 eintretendes Produkt kann beispielsweise auch aus einer der Förderstrecke 12 vorgeordneten Komponente, hier der Zigarettenproduktionsmaschine 10 bezogen werden, wenn dort die eine Produktportion kennzeichnende Information vorhanden ist. Gleiches gilt für den Ausgangssensor 24, der entbehrlich sein kann, wenn die eine Produktportion kennzeichnende Information beispielsweise aus einer der Förderstrecke 12 nachgeordneten Komponente, hier der Packmaschine 13 bezogen werden kann. Dies kann beispielsweise der Fall sein, wenn statt der Länge der Produktportionen in Transportrichtung die Zahl der Einzelprodukte pro Portion zur Definition einer Produktportion verwendet wird.It is not necessarily a
Es ist nicht ausgeschlossen, auch bei einer Unterbrechung des in die Förderstrecke 12 eintretenden Produktmassenstroms Produktdatensätze in das Speichermittel 22 zu schreiben.

Dies ermöglicht eine Übergabe von Produktdatensätzen von einem Teilspeicher zu einem nächsten Teilspeicher bei der Übergabe der entsprechenden Produktportionen von eine Fördervorrichtung zur nächsten Fördervorrichtung.
