Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for sorting out incomplete sets of caps and / or sets of caps in which at least one cap is misaligned.
  • Drinking straws are now often used to administer substances such as drugs, drugs, vitamins, foods and / or nutritional supplements.
  • the substances are present in particular in the form of granules, pellets, microtablets or powder.
  • the substance is located in the drinking straw and is preferably sucked with a liquid from the drinking straw into the mouth, for example of a patient or consumer. In order to avoid that the substances escape from the drinking straw before their consumption, these are closed at at least one of their ends with a cap.
  • a set of drinking straws d. H. For example, while making several of them at the same time, it must be ensured, among other things, that there is always a complete set of caps available for closing, which are aligned so that they can be placed on the straws. Not properly oriented caps must therefore be sorted out
  • EP 0 544 089 shows a device for filling workpieces with workpieces are aligned prior to their filling.
  • the problem is solved by a method for sorting caps, which are attached to a set of drinking straws, in which all caps of a sentence are sorted out, if a cap is misaligned and / or the set of caps is not complete.
  • a set of drinking straws which consists of several drinking straws, which are preferably aligned parallel to each other and particularly preferably vertically aligned, very particularly preferably to be closed substantially simultaneously with caps.
  • the substance to be or to be consumed has already been filled into the drinking straws. Since machines on which the drinking straws are processed and filled, work intermittently and at a time always several, for example, 10 drinking straws processed or transported simultaneously, preferably also attaching a set of caps on a set of straws at the same time, d. H.
  • a corresponding number of caps must be available in a capping station, which must also be aligned so that the side of the cap that is placed on the straw becomes located in the direction of the drinking straw. If so many drinking straws are manufactured at the same time that not all drinking straws are capped at the same time, one set must in each case have as many caps as can be attached essentially simultaneously to a drinking straw.
  • a set of caps preferably once singulated, is checked for completeness and proper alignment of the caps. Furthermore, according to the invention, a set which is not complete or in which at least one cap is misoriented and / or damaged is sorted out overall and not just the misoriented cap.
  • the sorting of the caps is done by changing their position.
  • a set of caps that does not meet the desired requirements can be rotated in the direction of a junk container.
  • the caps in this reject bin are either disposed of or reused in the production process.
  • a full set of caps are then pressed onto the straws such that, on the one hand, the caps do not come off the straws, but on the other hand, it is ensured that the pull-off force is not so high that they will , especially of elderly patients, is not applicable.
  • the complete cap sets, with all the caps oriented correctly, are buffered prior to attachment.
  • This embodiment of the method according to the invention has the advantage that the checking or sorting out of the caps does not have to be synchronized with the cycle of the machine which processes and fills the drinking straws.
  • Another advantage of this preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is that the production of drinking straws does not have to be interrupted, even if several sets of caps occur in succession, which are either incomplete or in which at least one cap is misaligned.
  • Another object of the present invention is a device for sorting out incomplete sets of caps which are placed on drinking straws having a rotating drum having a number of openings corresponding to a set of caps.
  • openings are dimensioned so that they can each receive a cap.
  • the completeness of a set of caps and their orientation is checked.
  • at least two bores are arranged in the region of each opening, through which signals of a sensor, for example light beams, can be sent, with which it is possible to check whether there is a cap in the respective opening and / or if this cap is aligned correctly is.
  • the roller is then rotated in a Aufsteck- or ejection position, wherein at an incomplete set of caps or at least one misaligned cap, the rotating roller is rotated in the ejection position. In this position, all caps that are in the rotating drum, for example, disposed of in an ejection container. In the case, that the result of the test has resulted in a complete set of caps, all of which are properly aligned, the roll is twisted into a slip-on position and the caps are attached to the drinking straws with a slip-on and / or buffered prior to attachment.
  • FIG. 1 a drinking straw 4 is shown, which is closed at its upper end 2 with a cap 12.
  • a control means 8 (controller), which on the one hand prevents the substance 10, which is located above the control means 8, rausriselt down from the drinking straw. Furthermore, it can be checked with the control agent whether the substance has been completely sucked out of the drinking straw.
  • the cap 12 arranged in the upper region 2 prevents the substance 10 from escaping from the drinking straw before it is consumed.
  • FIG. 2 a device is shown, with the incomplete cap sets or cap sets, in which at least one cap is misaligned, can be sorted out.
  • the roller 5 has openings 6, which corresponds to the number (in the present case 8) of the feed channels 13.
  • the number of openings further corresponds to a set of caps 12, which are attached at the same time each on a drinking straw.
  • the openings 6 of the roller 5 are dimensioned so that they can each receive a cap 12 so that the roller is rotatable, without damaging the caps.
  • two sensors in the present case light sensors (not shown), are checked to see if there is a cap in each opening and if the caps are properly aligned.
  • With the holes 17 can also be determined whether the position of the caps within the roller is correct.
  • the roller is rotated 45 ° counterclockwise so that the openings 6 are congruent with a corresponding number of openings located in the ejection position 7. In this position, all the caps that are in the rotating drum at this time are ejected from the roller through the ejection openings 7 into a container, not shown, for example, with compressed air or the like; ie sorted out. If the test reveals that there is a cap in each opening and that the caps are properly aligned, the roller is rotated 90 ° counterclockwise so that the openings 6 cover the openings in the plug-in position 8. In this position, the caps are then cached and later attached to the appropriate set of drinking straws. Once the sorting or the storage has taken place in the buffering, the roller is again rotated to the horizontal position, and a new set of caps can be inserted into the openings 6.
  • FIG. 3 shows roller according to FIG. 2 in another view, in which the holes 18 are visible through which the completeness and position control of the caps is done.
