Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a machine for treating containers, in particular a rotary machine, with the features of independent method claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a corresponding machine for treating containers with the features of independent claim 12.
  • the treatment of containers such as, for example, their filling or the application of labels on containers and bottles filled with beverages is usually carried out in a continuous process by means of automatic machines.
  • the labeling is done with automatic labeling machines, which usually form part of a rotary machine for container filling. When operating these machines can occur many different errors that can lead to a shutdown of the filling machine under unfavorable circumstances depending on the type of fault.
  • Known rotary machines are provided with rotating plates on which the containers or bottles are and can be brought into a desired angular orientation.
  • These so-called turntables each have their own turntable drive, usually in the form of an electromotive drive, which allows the individual container orientation and positioning.
  • a labeling machine for containers with a turntable goes out of the DE 31 37 201 A1 out.
  • this turntable a plurality of turntables are stored, the rotation of which is controlled in one revolution of the turntable so that the recorded by them to be labeled container with certain movement conditions arranged on the circumference of the turntable Etikettierorgane, Anbürstorgane o.

  • each stepping motor is connected to a control device which supplies it with control pulses as a function of the movement conditions of the turntable.
  • the EP 0 717 703 B1 discloses a computer-controlled, carousel-type labeling machine, wherein each handling station for containers with a motor is provided, which is driven together with the drive motor for the carousel by a computer in order to align the container in the desired manner for the exact attachment of the labels can.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method by means of which the defect- or defect-related downtimes of a machine for treating and / or processing containers can be reduced.
  • the present invention provides a method for controlling a machine for treating containers and these downstream processing and / or treatment stations.
  • the machine has a plurality of respective motor-driven turntables for aligning and / or positioning of the containers.
  • the motor drives of the turntable are each monitored separately, so that when an error occurs one or more of the turntable drives affected faulty turntable drives are disabled without the machine and / or the downstream stations must be turned off.
  • the machine may in particular be a rotary machine, in which a plurality of turntable drives are arranged on a rotor, with the aid of which on the turntables standing containers or bottles can be rotated and positioned in the desired manner, for example, to be able to attach the labels to the respectively correct position by means of downstream labeling stations.
  • the turntables are supplied with a common operating voltage and industry standard today by means of data bus control lines.
  • the present invention provides for the continued operation of the machine at a detected fault in one or more rotary actuators for the turntable. Since the affected turntable drives are uniquely identifiable, they can be disabled individually and the subsequent processes can be individually adapted to it by the positions to be assigned to the disabled turntable drives are handled in an adapted manner. This can be done, for example, by switching off the affected labeling units and / or by discharging the unlabeled containers from the conveyor and possibly by returning the containers to a suitable process stage of the treatment or processing.
  • Each deactivated turntable drive should initiate an at least partial deactivation of each subsequent monitoring steps of the bin positions associated with the deactivated turntable drive of the machine so that the entire downstream treatment and processing process of the machine can be adjusted so that, due to the slightly reduced output of treated bins, only the productivity falls by a small amount. Unplanned production interruptions can be prevented in most cases this way be, so that it comes with the help of the method according to the invention to no negative influences on the maintenance and production schedule of the machine.
  • each deactivated turntable drive triggers an at least partial deactivation of respectively subsequent processing and / or treatment steps of the container positions assigned to the deactivated turntable drive of the machine.
  • a downstream labeling device can be temporarily deactivated at least for the container position to be assigned to the faulty turntable drive, thereby avoiding rejects due to incorrectly labeled containers which can not be rotated and positioned in the required manner when the labels are applied can.
  • a downstream filling device can also be temporarily deactivated at least for the container position to be assigned to the faulty turntable drive.
  • a downstream device for closing the containers can be temporarily deactivated at least for the container position to be assigned to the faulty turntable drive.
  • each deactivated turntable drive can be coupled with a downstream of the machine or rotary machine diverter for discharging each of the deactivated turntable drive associated containers of further subsequent processing and / or treatment steps of the machine.
  • the diversion device can be coupled to a conveying device for returning the withdrawn containers into the rotary machine and / or into a preceding conveying device, so that the containers not labeled or treated in any other way can be returned directly to the production process the total output of the machine is only reduced by an insignificant, negligible proportion.
  • the inventive method is particularly suitable for controlling a rotary machine having a circular arrangement of a plurality of each motor-driven turntables for aligning and / or positioning of the container and for controlling a Geradiquermaschine having a linear array.
  • the present invention relates to a machine for processing and / or treatment of containers, which is equipped with a plurality of each motor-driven turntables for aligning and / or positioning of the containers.
  • This machine may in particular be a so-called rotary machine, in which the turntables are arranged on the outer circumference of a rotor.
  • the motor drives the turntable is assigned in each case a monitoring device for separate function monitoring and output of an error signal in an error occurring.
  • the machine further comprises a control device for processing the error signals, for deactivating the affected faulty turntable drives and for switching off individual functions of the machine during its continued operation. Further variants and embodiments of such a machine result from the previously described variants of the method according to the invention for operating such a machine.
  • the aspects and advantages discussed using the example of the method relate in the same way to the appropriate machine and all their variants.
  • the basis of the present invention is the possibility of selectively setting individual drives in operation and monitoring. If one or more of the drives are deselected, their output stages or so-called power units are switched off and the drive is decoupled from the data bus with the aid of the control software. Thus, all error messages and operating states related to the deselected drives are ignored.
  • the settings in the drive configuration and the monitoring function are set so that the "silence" of the affected drive leads to no warning or error.
  • the unselected drives are no longer started in this case via the data bus and thus remain in the de-energized state.
  • the drive itself is designed in such a way that no energization of the output stages occurs in the absence of control commands.
  • the particular advantage of the function according to the invention is that in the case of a malfunction of a single drive, this is deselected and the production can be resumed immediately or continue running without interruption.
  • the system can be operated with slightly reduced power.
  • the affected drive can then be replaced at the next routine maintenance or during a planned production changeover or during a product change, and thus at a time-uncritical moment.
  • a suitable visualization of one or more disconnected turntable drives can be provided, for example by means of a screen display in a control center.
  • the visualization may already be coupled with a qualification of the detected error, in order, for example, to be able to recognize and report the type of defect so that the maintenance and repair can be accelerated.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic structure of an embodiment of a rotary machine for processing and labeling of containers.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of a control of electrically operated turntable drives of the rotary machine according to Fig. 1 ,
  • Fig. 3 shows on the basis of another block diagram an operating mode with deactivated turntable drive.
  • FIG. 1 shows a typical construction of a rotary machine 10 with an inlet star 32 and an outlet star 36 and a rotating container table 34.
  • a rotating Einteilschnecke 30 brings a, on a conveyor belt (not shown) incoming container flow with containers 12 in the transport direction 20 gap to the required distance to to ensure trouble-free transfer into a container-oriented recess of the inlet star 32.
  • the inlet star 32 transfers the containers 12 to centering or turntable 42, which are mounted in a circular shape on the edge of the container table 34.
  • the tray table 34 is rotated clockwise 24.
  • the standing on the turntables 42 container 12 are moved past at least one labeling unit 26 and labeled.
  • the containers 12 are rotated relative to the stationary labeling unit 26.
  • each turntable 42 has an electromotive turntable drive 44. All of these turntable drives 44 are individually controllable in order to rotate and align each container 12 in the desired manner for labeling and / or for further treatment steps.
  • Anbürstaggregat 28 is further indicated, which serves for pressing the previously attached labels on the outer circumferential surface of the container 12.
  • the individual control of the turntable drives 44 is preferably carried out by means of a data bus control 46 (see. FIGS. 2 and 3 ), which upon detection of a defective turntable drive 44, the activation of the labeling 26 and possibly the Anbürstaggregats 28 and / or other treatment facilities for the container 12 for the standing on the defective turntable 42 container 12 interrupts and thus one does not let labeled container 14 pass.
  • a data bus control 46 see. FIGS. 2 and 3
  • each container 14, which stands on a defective turntable 42 are detected and tracked, so that these containers 14 are not labeled on the labeling unit 26.
  • the containers 12 and 14 are transferred individually to the outlet star 36 and the container 12 are transported in the transport direction 20 on.
  • the unlabeled container 14 is also passed to the outlet star 36, but subsequently discharged via a discharge device 40.
  • This diversion device 40 can be attached to the outlet star 36 at a predetermined location or at a downstream conveyor.
  • the diversion device 40 can be used to discharge unmarked containers 14 from the further conveying process due to a defective turntable drive 44.
  • the excreted containers 14 are conveyed along a separation path 22 and optionally accumulated at a collection point (not shown) or returned to the running process so that they are reintroduced into the container flow upstream of the inlet screw 30.
  • the decision as to whether an unlabeled container 14 is discharged can preferably be made on the basis of the data bus control 46 (cf. FIGS. 2 and 3 ) supplied position data for the affected container 14 are taken.
  • an optical recognition of the containers 12 can take place, which can identify a non-labeled container 14 and cause its discharge.
  • the labeling 26 was briefly deactivated.
  • Such containers 12, 14, which have not been distinguished for diversion between the various reasons, can not be easily returned to the process, but must be investigated beforehand.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show on the basis of schematic block diagrams a control of electrically operated turntable drives 44 of the rotary machine according to Fig. 1 ,
  • Each individual turntable drive 44 of the container table 34 can be controlled individually via a common data bus control 46 and can also be identified in any position.
  • the data bus control 46 supplies both control signals 48 for the servo drives 50, which may comprise, for example, an electric stepper motor, a servo motor, a servo synchronous motor or the like.
  • the servo drive 50 supplies a power supply part 52 to the output stages 54 of the turntable drive 44.
  • the servo drive 50 transmits error signals 56 to the data bus control 46, so that they correspond to Fig.
  • a turntable drive 44 when reported errors for a turntable drive 44 at least its power supply part 52 can interrupt within the output stage 54 by means of a corresponding control signal 48.
  • the interruption 58 within the output stage 54 is indicated by an open switch.
  • the affected turntable drive 44 is thereby shut down.
  • a corresponding control signal is delivered to the labeling unit 26 so that the container 14 standing on the turntable 42 is not labeled.
  • a corresponding control signal 48 is supplied to the diversion device 40 by the data bus control 46, so that the unlabeled container 14 is discharged and possibly conveyed back into the inlet star 32 again.
