Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling coils with wound foil material.
  • the coil comprises a core on which the film material is wound. Furthermore, the coil is associated with a sensor arrangement by means of which one end of the film material can be seen on the coil.
  • the invention relates to the use of the sensor arrangement in a packaging machine for producing containers from articles.
  • a packaging machine comprises two spools with wound sheet material.
  • One of the two bobbins is always a supply reel, which then supplies film material in the packaging process for the objects to be packaged, if the wound on the active coil film material comes to an end.
  • the end of the film on the active spool must be displayed so that the second spool (reserve spool) can be inserted into the packaging process, thus providing the film material wound on it to the packaging process.
  • the German patent application DE 40 21 402 A1 describes a device for controlling emptying coils. This device is mainly used in wrapping machines for articles.
  • the control device in question consists essentially of detection means which operate in the region of a feed station of the belt at a wrapping station and / or in the vicinity of a coil and support shaft group arranged in the region of the station. These detection means serve to detect a predetermined value of an electrical impedance, which is generated by the coil and / or support shaft group and / or determine functions of at least one radial dimension of the coil and support shaft group.
  • the German patent application DE 195 43 246 discloses a device for controlling coils for wrapping machines.
  • the web material (film material) is wound on a spool for the wrapping machines.
  • the coil has a corresponding core around which the film material is wound.
  • the spool rotates about its own axis of rotation so as to provide the wrapping material wound thereon to the wrapping machine.
  • an optoelectronic and photosensitive sensor which is movable along a substantially radial direction of the coil during unwinding of the coil.
  • the probe serves to detect the value of a chromatic property of a portion of the coil and to transmit a signal to the scanning device of a hue corresponding to a previously inputted pattern value.
  • the sheet material which is rolled up directly on the core of the spool, is colored so that as the end of the sheet material approaches the spool, the sensor registers a different color value of the sheet and thus indicates the end of the sheet material on the respective active spool.
  • the European patent application EP 2 093 172 A2 describes a paper supply for a printer in which the paper supply is arranged on at least one coil.
  • the paper supply contains at least two differently arranged images for the bobbins, so that different sizes of the paper bobbins can be processed with the printer.
  • an adjustable end sensor is provided for the final recognition of the paper, which is wound on a core. Due to the adjustability, it is possible to adjust the sensor to the respective position of the coil.
  • the Japanese patent application JP 600 12 449 A describes a device for the end detection of a film material which is rolled up on a spool.
  • a magnetic strip is introduced across the width of the film material, which is located in the vicinity of the end of the film material.
  • this magnetic strip is detected, which in turn indicates the end of the film material on the spool.
  • Japanese Patent Application JP 61 08 63 55 A describes an arrangement with which a junction, or the end of long sheet-like material can be detected.
  • the connection point runs across the film web and is by means of two photo sensors detected.
  • the photosensors are arranged in the transport direction of the film material.
  • German patent application DE 44 42 154 describes a method for initiating a premature bobbin change. For this purpose, a non-contact temperature measurement is provided on the front side. Based on the measured temperature in the vicinity of the core of the coil can thus close on the amount of paper that is still on the coil, or which has already been wound on the spool.
  • German patent application DE 198 47 466 A1 describes a method and apparatus for detecting defects on developable plastic sheets.
  • the sensor is mounted on a lever arm which moves in the direction of the core in dependence on the film material unwound from the spool.
  • the sensor detects marking elements which are mounted on the film material are and project laterally from the end face of the film material.
  • the sheet material is wound on a core of a spool.
  • the end of the film material can be detected on the coil.
  • the sensor arrangement is designed such that it comprises at least one optoelectronic sensor.
  • the optoelectronic sensor is arranged stationary with respect to an end face of the coil.
  • the sensor is designed such that a part of the end face of the rotating coil is optically detectable.
  • the optoelectronic sensor is arranged in relation to the coil such that the part of the end face of the rotating coil detected by the optoelectronic sensor has a possible air gap between the mandrel and the core, the core itself and the film material immediately following the core.
  • the optoelectronic sensor is a line sensor that detects part of the outer circle of the core of the rotating coil without additional illumination. There is also provided a control with which a control signal is generated if a registered by the optoelectronic sensor level of the wound on the core sheet material below a predetermined threshold.
  • the sensor arrangement can have a capacitive sensor in addition to the optoelectronic sensor.
  • the capacitive sensor is arranged to be movable radially with respect to the coil. By means of the capacitive sensor, the radial height with respect to the coil can be measured.
  • the controller can be designed such that a combined or common control signal is only output if the height registered by the optoelectronic sensor and the radial height registered by the capacitive sensor fall below the predetermined threshold value.
  • a packaging machine two coils are associated with wound film material. There is always one the two coils the active coil. In order not to interrupt the production process of the containers unnecessarily long, it is necessary to detect the end of the film on the active coil. When determining the end of the film material on the spool, make sure that the film material is used up as much as possible. You want to avoid that the coil is replaced too early and thus produces a waste of film material that you could actually use for the packaging of containers. Upon detection of the end of the film, or the approaching end of the film material on the spool, a signal is output and it is changed to the supply reel.
  • the optoelectronic sensor line sensor
  • the outer edge (circular arc) of the film core, as well as the outer diameter of the film spool is detected.
  • a defined, once-programmed value specifies the minimum distance (threshold) of the diameter of the film spool from which a signal is output that indicates the end of the film material on the spool. If this threshold is undershot, a signal is sent to the machine control that the film material on the active coil is used up.
  • the invention has the advantage that, regardless of the diameter of the core of the coil, a reliable detection of the end of the film material on the bobbin can be determined.
  • the capacitive sensor 25 serves as an additional means for the optoelectronic sensor 14, which determines the residual height H of the film material on the core 8. If the capacitive sensor 25 and the optoelectronic sensor 14 provide a signal to the controller 5, it can be assumed that the end of the film material 12 is reached on the core 8 or a bobbin change is necessary to ensure the continuous operation of the machine that consumes the sheet material 12. The optoelectronic sensor 14 then outputs a signal when the height H of the film material 12 on the core 8 falls below a certain threshold value. In parallel, the capacitive sensor 25 outputs a signal when the radial height R of the film material 12 on the core falls below a predefined threshold value. This additional fuse through the capacitive sensor 25 makes the determination of the end of the foil material 12 on the coil 10 safer.
  • the capacitive sensor 25 provides additional security for determining the end of the sheet material 12 on the spool. For the determination of the end of the film material 12 on the coil 10, however, the optoelectronic sensor 14 alone is completely sufficient.
