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 solves this object by a method having the features of claim 1 and by a system having the features of claim 12.
  • the invention is particularly based 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, wherein the product data records are written into the memory means via the memory input and stored there in a fixed order, and the product data records written in 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 are also conceivable, for example in portions with an approximately equal number of individual products, or in portions of approximately the same weight.
  • the length of the product portions is adjustable to allow for adaptation to different requirements.
  • the product data sets are set up to store 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 useful to mark a missing or otherwise 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 includes, inter alia, a FIFO cigarette storage 16 with a conveyor 18 whose length is variable depending on the storage space, 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 data sets 30a, 30b, 30c, ... into the storage means 22.
  • the product mass flow 11 is virtually divided into product portions 11a, 11b, 11c, ... divided as in 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,...
  • 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 to activate the writing or, in an interruption of entering the conveyor line 12 product mass flow, by means of a corresponding signal the Write interrupt.
  • 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, wherein 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 order within the stack and the FIFO principle, it is ensured that the product data records 30a, 30b, 30c,... Are correctly assigned to the product portions 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d,... Exiting the conveyor line 12, and Although regardless 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 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, ..., with the length of the exiting product portions 11a, 11b, 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 conveying section 12 upstream component, here the cigarette production machine 10 are related, if there is a product serving characterizing information.
  • 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 of top to bottom consecutive times are shown.
  • the vertical line “E” designates 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, the write pointer 27 is shifted by one memory unit, and 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 shifted by one memory unit.
  • 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 in 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.
