Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die Lageerkennung von Bobinen in einfacher Weise zu verbessern, so dass diese schneller und präziser erfasst, d.h. ergriffen, werden.The object of the present invention is to improve the position detection of bobbins in a simple manner, so that it detects faster and more precisely, i. be taken.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt durch eine Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung, insbesondere der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, umfassend einen Greifer mit Elementen zum Greifen einer Bobine, eine an dem Greifer angeordnete Sensoreinrichtung mit Sensoren, eine Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung, die von der Sensoreinrichtung Signale empfängt und verarbeitet, und eine Positionierungsvorrichtung, die von der Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung angesteuert wird und die den Greifer mit der Sensoreinrichtung über einen Bobinenkern verfährt, wobei die Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung ausgebildet ist, um aus den von der Sensoreinrichtung empfangenen Signalen eine Bobinenkernmitte B zu ermitteln, wobei die Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass die Sensoren räumlich getrennt voneinander in Sensorgruppenmodulen angeordnet sind, wobei genau zwei Sensorgruppenmodule mit jeweils vier Sensoren vorgesehen sind, wobei die Sensorgruppenmodule so um die Elemente zum Greifen der Bobine angeordnet sind, dass beim Überfahren eines Bobinenkerns aus Signaländerungen der Sensoren mindestens eines Sensorgruppenmoduls Ortskoordinaten von vier Punkten auf einem Kreis in Bezug auf eine Ebene, die parallel zu der Stirnfläche der Bobine verläuft, ermittelbar sind. Hierdurch kann das Erfassen bzw. Ergreifen einer Bobine automatisch erfolgen.The problem is solved by a reel handling device, in particular the tobacco-processing industry, comprising a gripper with elements for gripping a reel, arranged on the gripper sensor device with sensors, an evaluation and control device that receives signals from the sensor device and processed, and a positioning device, of the evaluation and Control device is driven and moves the gripper with the sensor device via a Bobinenkern, wherein the evaluation and control device is designed to determine from the signals received from the sensor device a Bobinenkernmitte B, wherein the Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung is characterized in that the sensors spatially separated are arranged one another in sensor group modules, wherein exactly two sensor group modules are each provided with four sensors, wherein the sensor group modules are arranged around the elements for gripping the bobbin that when crossing a bobbin core of signal change n the sensors of at least one sensor group module location coordinates of four points on a circle with respect to a plane that is parallel to the end face of the reel, can be determined. As a result, the detection or gripping of a bobbin can take place automatically.
Als Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung erweist es sich, dass ein Sensorgruppenmodul zur Entfernungsmessung eingesetzt wird, welches beim Verfahren des Greifers verwertbare Signale für die Lagebestimmung einer Bobine liefert.It proves to be an advantage of the reel handling device according to the invention that a sensor group module is used for distance measurement, which supplies usable signals for the position determination of a reel during the movement of the gripper.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung sind die Sensorgruppenmodule identisch ausgebildetIn a preferred embodiment of the reel handling apparatus, the sensor group modules are identical
Durch eine identische Ausbildung der Sensorgruppenmodule ist es möglich, eine einheitliche und damit vereinfachte Auswertung der Signale durchzuführen.By an identical design of the sensor group modules it is possible to carry out a uniform and thus simplified evaluation of the signals.
Die Elemente zum Greifen der Bobine sind insbesondere als Spannbacken ausgebildet, die rotationssymmetrisch angeordnet sind und in radialer Richtung verfahren werden.The elements for gripping the reel are in particular designed as clamping jaws, which are arranged rotationally symmetrical and are moved in the radial direction.
Auf diese Weise lässt sich eine in ihren äußeren Abmessungen zylindrisch ausgebildete Bobine mit zylindrischem Bobinenkern besonders einfach erfassen, indem die Spannbacken entweder von außen gegen die äußere Zylinderfläche der Bobine oder aber von innen gegen die innere Zylinderoberfläche der Bobine bewegt werden und dabei so weit verfahren werden, dass die eingespannte Bobine auf diese Weise angehoben werden kann.In this way, a cylindrical cylindrical bobbin in its outer dimensions can be particularly easily detected by the clamping jaws are moved either from the outside against the outer cylindrical surface of the reel or from the inside against the inner cylindrical surface of the reel and thereby moved so far in that the clamped bobbin can be lifted in this way.
Die Aufgabe wird außerdem durch eine Maschine der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie gelöst, die eine erfindungsgemäße Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung umfasst.The object is also achieved by a machine of the tobacco processing industry comprising a reel handling apparatus according to the invention.
Weiterhin wird die Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung, insbesondere der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, gelöst, die einen Greifer zum Greifen einer Bobine und eine an dem Greifer angeordnete Sensoreinrichtung mit Sensorgruppenmodulen umfasst, wobei Sensoren der Sensorgruppenmodule mit den folgenden Schritten kalibriert werden:
- der Greifer erfasst die Bobine, eine Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung legt eine vorläufige Bobinenkernmitte fest und der Greifer gibt die Bobine wieder frei,
- ein Sensor wird über den Bobinenkern entlang einer Linie, die durch die vorläufige Bobinenkernmitte führt, bewegt, und es werden die Signaländerungen des Sensors aufgezeichnet,
- die Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung ermittelt aus den Signaländerungen für den Sensor eine zugehörige Bobinenkernmitte Bs durch Bestimmung der Mitte der Verbindungsstrecke zwischen den beiden Stellen, an denen Signaländerungen auftreten, und ermittelt daraus einen dem Sensor zugeordneten Offset Os zwischen der für den Sensor ermittelten Bobinenkernmitte Bs und der zuvor festgelegten vorläufigen Bobinenkernmitte,
- the gripper grasps the bobbin, an evaluation and control device sets a provisional bobbin center and the gripper releases the bobbins,
- a sensor is moved over the bobbin core along a line passing through the tentative bobbin core center, and it the signal changes of the sensor are recorded,
- the evaluation and control device determines from the signal changes for the sensor an associated Bobinenkernmitte B s by determining the center of the link between the two locations where signal changes occur, and determines therefrom a sensor associated offset O s between the determined for the sensor Bobinenkernmitte B s and the preliminarily specified bobbin center,
Auf diese Weise wird eine Kalibrierung der Sensoren möglich, denn für jeden einzelnen Sensor wird festgestellt, welche Bobinenkernmitte Bs sich aus seinen Signaländerungen ergibt, vorzugsweise, indem man die Mitte der Verbindungsstrecke zwischen den beiden Stellen bestimmt, an denen Signaländerungen auftreten. Diese Bobinenkernmitte Bs wird mit einer vorläufig als korrekt unterstellten Bobinenkernmitte verglichen. Bei späteren Messungen zur Bestimmung der Bobinenkernmitte Bs ist es dann möglich, diesen Offset Os eines Sensors von vorneherein bei der Auswertung seiner Signaländerungen mit einzubeziehen. So ist es möglich, eine weitgehend vollständige Information über das Abweichungsverhalten eines Sensors in Bezug auf eine Ebene zu erhalten, die parallel zu der Stirnfläche der Bobine verläuft.In this way, a calibration of the sensors is possible, for each individual sensor is determined which Bobinenkernitte B s results from its signal changes, preferably by determining the middle of the link between the two locations where signal changes occur. This bobsleigh core B s is compared with a tentatively considered bobbin core center. In later measurements for determining the bobbin core center B s , it is then possible to include this offset O s of a sensor from the outset in the evaluation of its signal changes. Thus, it is possible to obtain a substantially complete information about the deviation behavior of a sensor with respect to a plane which runs parallel to the end face of the reel.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Verfahrens wird der Sensor entlang der Linie hin- und zurückbewegt oder mehrfach bewegt, so dass die betreffenden Signaländerungen mehrfach vorliegen, und für den Sensor eine zugehörige Bobinenkernmitte Bs aus den Mittelwerten der jeweiligen Signaländerungen ermittelt wird.In a preferred embodiment of the method, the Sensor moved back and forth along the line or moved several times, so that the signal changes in question are multiple, and the sensor is an associated Bobinenkernmitte B s determined from the average values of the respective signal changes.
Als besonders zweckmäßig erweist es sich, die beschriebenen Verfahrensschritte für mindestens zwei Sensoren, insbesondere für sämtliche Sensoren, durchzuführen.It proves particularly useful to carry out the method steps described for at least two sensors, in particular for all sensors.
Die Aufgabe wird darüber hinaus durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung, insbesondere der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, gelöst, die einen Greifer zum Greifen einer Bobine und eine an dem Greifer angeordnete Sensoreinrichtung mit Sensorgruppenmodulen umfasst. Das Verfahren zeichnet sich durch die folgenden Schritte aus:
- der Greifer wird durch eine Positionierungsvorrichtung so verfahren, dass die Sensorgruppenmodule den verlängert gedachten Bobinenkern umgeben,
- mindestens ein Sensorgruppenmodul fährt über den Bobinenkern,
- die Signaländerungen des mindestens einen Sensorgruppenmoduls werden an eine Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung weitergeleitet,
- die Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung bestimmt aus den Signaländerungen von vier Sensoren des mindestens einen Sensorgruppenmoduls eine Bobinenkernmitte B,
- the gripper is moved by a positioning device so that the sensor group modules surround the extended imaginary bobbin core,
- at least one sensor group module moves over the bobbin core,
- the signal changes of the at least one sensor group module are forwarded to an evaluation and control device,
- the evaluation and control device determines from the signal changes of four sensors of the at least one sensor group module a bobbin center B,
Mit diesem Verfahren ist es in besonders einfacher und präziser Weise möglich, eine Bobinenkernmitte B zu bestimmen, die später eine präzise Ansteuerung des Greifers zum Erfassen der Bobine ermöglicht.With this method, it is possible in a particularly simple and precise manner to determine a Bobinenkernmitte B, which later allows precise control of the gripper for detecting the reel.
Ist die Bobine schwer zugänglich, indem sie z.B. an einer seitlich begrenzenden Wand anliegt, so ist es durch die Anordnung von verschiedenen Sensorgruppenmodulen um einen Greifer möglich, ein Sensorgruppenmodul so auszuwählen, dass beim Bewegen des Greifers die Sensoren des betreffenden Sensorgruppenmoduls über den Bobinenkern fahren.If the bobbin is difficult to access, e.g. is applied to a laterally delimiting wall, it is possible by the arrangement of different sensor group modules to a gripper to select a sensor group module so that when moving the gripper drive the sensors of the respective sensor group module on the bobbin core.
Wird in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Verfahrens das mindestens eine Sensorgruppenmodul entlang der Linie hin- und zurückbewegt oder mehrfach bewegt, so ist es möglich, eine Bobinenkernmitte B aus den Mittelwerten der mehrfach vorliegenden Signaländerungen zu bestimmen.If, in a preferred embodiment of the method, the at least one sensor group module is moved back and forth along the line or moved several times, it is possible to determine a bobbin center B from the mean values of the multiple signal changes.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform des Verfahrens erfasst der Greifer die Bobine anschließend in Abhängigkeit von der bestimmten Bobinenkernmitte B.In an expedient embodiment of the method, the gripper subsequently grasps the bobbin as a function of the specific bobbin center B.
Insbesondere ist es von Vorteil, die Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung in der Weise zu kombinieren, dass zunächst die Abweichungen der Sensoren ermittelt werden und anschließend eine Bobinenkernmitte B unter Zugrundelegen dieser Abweichungen bestimmt wird.In particular, it is advantageous to the methods for operating a Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung in such a way that first the deviations of the sensors are determined and then a Bobinenkernmitte B is determined on the basis of these deviations.
Insbesondere werden dabei die für die Sensoren ermittelten Offsets OS oder OSx, OSy bei der Bestimmung einer Bobinenkernmitte B berücksichtigt.In particular, the offsets O S or O Sx, O Sy determined for the sensors are taken into account in the determination of a bobbin center B.
Der besondere Vorteil der hier beschriebenen Erfindung liegt darin, dass die Sensoren einer Bobinenhandhabungsvorrichtung kalibriert werden, ohne dass hierfür eigene Kalibrierungswerkzeuge erforderlich sind.The particular advantage of the invention described here is that the sensors of a reel handling device are calibrated without the need for their own calibration tools.
Die Signaländerungen bei den Sensoren zur Entfernungsmessung sind allgemein darauf zurückzuführen, dass ein Sensor bei Eintritt in den Bereich eines Bobinenkerns unmittelbar eine größere Entfernung misst, denn es wird nicht mehr nur die Entfernung bis zur Stirnseite der Bobine gemessen. Umgekehrt ergibt sich eine Signaländerung, wenn ein Sensor aus dem Bobinenkern austritt, denn dann wird die verkürzte Entfernung bis zur Stirnseite der Bobine gemessen. Anstelle einer Entfernungsmessung können auch Helligkeitswerte gemessen werden.The signal changes in the distance measuring sensors are generally due to the fact that a sensor immediately measures a greater distance when entering the area of a bobbin core, because it no longer only measures the distance to the end face of the bobbin. Conversely, a signal change occurs when a sensor emerges from the bobbin core, because then the shortened distance is measured up to the end face of the bobbin. Instead of a distance measurement, brightness values can also be measured.
