Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for weighing containers, which are located on a transport device.
  • Containers such as bottles or tubes, which are transported by means of a transport device and for example are to be filled, closed, printed, packaged or otherwise processed, often also have to be weighed, for example in order to check whether the filled container fulfills the specified conditions. Has reached weight, or for other reasons.
  • transport devices are quite different solutions known, for example, a conventional conveyor belt or other known transport device.
  • This two-time implementation requires on the one hand a considerable amount of time, and entails follow-up problems, for example, after resetting to the transport device, the correct positioning on the transport device, or when placing on the load cell, the necessary waiting time until the resulting from the settling movement bearing force on the load cell has subsided.
  • the container is not immediately closed - which is usually not due to cycle time reasons - the filled, but open container must be converted back to the transport device, which entails further difficulties and especially the risk of spillage of filling from the open container in itself.
  • the container should often be filled during weighing in order to achieve an exact filling quantity in the container. Therefore, the still empty container is first weighed by the load cell and thereby determines the tare weight of the container, and then filled the container while it is on the load cell, while continuously weighed so that one with the load cell and with the filling Device-related control ends the filling process as soon as the measured total weight minus the initially measured tare weight, ie the filling weight, has reached the predetermined desired value.
  • This procedure makes it possible to introduce an exact filling quantity into the container, in contrast to the procedure of starting from an always equal tare weight and only measuring the achievement of a specific total weight by weighing. Because then the variations in the weight of the empty container as well as other weight influences such as other weighed other parts in the weighted total weight and prevent adherence to an exact filling weight.
  • the solution consists in a procedure in which the container to be weighed is weighed on the transport device on a weighing platform by means of a load cell, which is usually located next to the transport device, or viewed in the supervision in the area of the transport device.
  • the container to be weighed is positioned by means of the transport device on the weighing surface of a load cell, and of course also stopped the transport device.
  • the weighing surface For weighing, the weighing surface must now be brought into contact with the container in such a way that the container is supported exclusively on the weighing surface, that is to say it is overloaded.
  • One possibility is to raise the weighing surface until it reaches the container and further raise it until the container except Engaged with the transport device and the weight of the container rests exclusively on the weighing surface.
  • the transport device is lowered with the container until the container lifts from the descending transport device and weighs only with its weight on the weighing surface.
  • the position of the container is maintained in the horizontal direction.
  • the container therefore does not have to be additionally moved in the horizontal direction, and above all not be transferred from the transport device to the side on a load cell located there.
  • container receptacles designed to match the container to be handled are present on the neutrally designed transport device, on or in which the containers fit snugly. Then, in addition to the container and the container receptacle in which it sits, be wholly or partially raised with, and thus be weighed with.
  • the container receptacle is in each case designed so that it acts self-centering with respect to the male container and / or to the transport device, so that after lifting for the purpose of weighing and subsequent lowering of container and / or container receptacle, the container relative to the transport device back to the exactly the same position as before lifting.
  • the filling weight can be achieved very precisely, and it is possible to dispense with an overfilling, that is to say an actual filling weight which is above the desired filling weight, as is necessary when e.g. Scatters from the weight of the container or the container intake must be compensated with, since only the total weight is determined.
  • one or more packages are transported simultaneously on a transport device by means of individual transport carriages which are independent of one another, e.g. along a guideway, are movable, and with which the containers are transported before and after weighing and optionally additional filling to other processing stations such as closing, printing, packaging. Since these transport carriages can be moved independently of each other, different cycle times of the individual processing stations are easier to compensate for.
  • This procedure can be carried out with a device for weighing containers on a transport device, which on the one hand comprises the transport device with which the containers are transported, and on the transport device in particular also to the containers matching container receptacles.
  • the device comprises at least one weighing cell with a weighing surface at the weighing position, that is to say at a specific longitudinal position of the conveying device.
  • the weighing surface can be brought into contact with the container or the container receptacle and weighed.
  • load cells are located in the direction of passage of the transport device at a weighing position one behind the other, and the load cells are adjusted to the distance that the products to be weighed currently take on the transport device to each other.
  • the load cells are continuously movable and fixable on a weighing base body in the longitudinal direction.
  • a filling device is also present at the load cell, for example a filling robot whose outlet openings can be positioned above the containers located in the weighing position or even within these containers.
  • the load cell as well as the filling device are then connected to a controller, which constantly receives the total weight of the weighbridge during the filling process, and deducted from the known tare weight, ie empty container and possibly the co-weighed container intake, the current filling weight calculated and Upon reaching the desired filling weight, the filling device controls so that the filling process at the right time, ie at the right actual filling weight, is terminated.
  • individual transport carriages which can be moved independently of one another along a guideway are preferably used as the transport device, so that a single transport carriage, e.g. carries a certain number of containers, depending on the work to be performed on a workstation for different lengths of the workstation can stop and can drive at different speeds between the individual workstations.
  • the guideway is preferably located on a track body having two or more guideways, preferably one for the forward direction of travel and one for the rearward direction of travel.
  • the railway body is formed of individual Bru redesignen, with individual movable modules, in particular the Bru redesign modulee at the beginning and at the end of the track body, can be relocated so that each of their guideways can optionally be brought into alignment with each guideway of the adjacent Bahn redesignmoduls, which is not movable in the rule.
  • a cross-sectionally approximately rectangular web body on the top or bottom each have a guideway, and the movable web body module, the so-called inverter can be rotated by 180 ° about its longitudinal axis, so that a first arranged on the upper guide rail transport carriage thereafter this rotatable Bahntudemodul depends down and aligned with the lower track of the adjacent track body and can move on this.
  • the overhead guideway is used as a forward guideway, in which the containers are also transported, while on the lower guideway on which the transport carriages hang, the empty transport carriages are transported back to the starting point.
  • the transport carriages are designed in such a way that they do not fall off the latter when hanging on the lower guideway.
  • the container receptacle is designed so that it then has the same position on the transport carriage by lifting and then lowering, as before.
  • Such a transport carriage usually consists of a guide member which is adapted to the guideway and in particular the guideway positively engages around, as well as a mounted on the guide member, but easily removable support member, which is adapted to the particular task, and either itself represents the container receptacle or a suitable container receptacle carries.
  • FIG. 4b shows, on the transport carriage 6 of the transport device 1 in the direction of passage 10 consecutively several, in this case eight, to be weighed container 20, in this case tubes 20, present at a location of the transport device 1, the weighing rack 9, weighed and usually also to be filled.
  • the transport carriage 6 has its own drive with a downwardly projecting pinion 16 (see FIG. 4 b ), which is in engagement with a rack 18 which extends in the direction of passage 10 along the guideway 7 a, on which the transport carriage 6 moves.
  • the transport carriage 6 cooperates with a weighing unit 12 , which stands next to the transport device 1.
  • the guide carriage 6 initially consists of a plate-shaped guide member 5, which runs on the guide track 7 a and this has the corresponding sliding shoes on its underside.
  • the downwardly projecting pinion 16 can be seen, which is driven by a motor, not shown in the transport carriage 6 and the passage along the guideway 7 a and the correct positioning of the transport carriage 6 in the longitudinal direction 10 causes.
  • a plate-shaped support part 4 At a distance above the guide member 5 is also a plate-shaped support part 4, each of which is adapted to the load to be transported.
  • the support member 4 is held by spacers 15 at a distance from the guide member 5 , wherein the guide blocks 15 are outside the longitudinal center only on one side of the transport carriage 6 , so that from the other side, in the representation of Fig. 1b from the left, the space between the support member 4 and guide member 5 is freely accessible.
  • the support member 4 carries in this case in the longitudinal direction 10 in a row eight container receptacles 19, wherein in each container receptacle a not yet filled, at its rear end open and thus upwardly projecting tube 20 sits, which is to be filled.
  • the container receptacle 19 is used in order to replace only the container receptacle 19 when switching to a new container, and not the entire support member 4, as well as for better ways to weigh the container 20:
  • the container receptacle 19 has three downwardly projecting centering cone 13 , each of which sits in a correspondingly shaped frusto-conical through hole of the support member 4 , so that the tips of the centering 13 protrude downward from the support member 4 and are connected there via a connecting plate 14 .
  • Characterized is any container receptacle 19 on a three-point bearing in the supporting member. 4
  • the centering cone 13 will first lift off their frustoconical recordings and load the full weight of the container receptacle 19 including the container 20 received therein on the connecting plate 14 .
  • the individual container receptacles 19 are mounted with their connecting plates 14 each independently and at a distance from each other in the support member 4 .
  • the weighing platform 3 By ramping up the weighing platform 3, the weighing platform 3 push up the connecting plate 14, so that the overall weight of container receptacle 19 and container 20 only rests on the weighing surface 3, and this weight can be determined by the weighing cell. 2
  • a weighing table 23 which is adjustable over at least two vertical punches 25 in its distance from the housing 21 .
  • two longitudinal guides 24 run along which the weighing cells 2 which are present on the weighing table 23 , in this case eight, are displaceable and fixable.
  • the weighing unit 12 is provided at the intended weighing 9 so next to the transport device 1 that the longitudinal guides 24 parallel to the direction of passage 10 of the transport device 1 , both viewed in the plan view and viewed in the side view.
  • load cells 2 are distributed along the longitudinal guides 24 and positioned so that they occupy the same distance from each other as the container receptacles 19 on the transport carriage 6.
  • the housing 21 is leveled by means of the feet 22 and adjusted to such a height that in the initial state, the weighing surfaces 3 protrude into the space between the support member 4 and guide member 5 without touching them, so neither on the bottom nor on the top the weighing surface 3.
  • the weighing surfaces 3 extend to below the spacer blocks 15 facing the end edge of the connecting plates 14th
  • FIG. 3c shows, by means of a lifting device which is housed inside the housing 21 , and a lifting motor 26, a gear 27 and eccentrically mounted on a gear shaft lever 28 , the vertical punch 25 and thus the weighing table 23 with all weighing surfaces 3 by such a degree be raised, that on each of the weighing surfaces 3, the total weight of each container receptacle 19 loads together with 20 containers.
  • the weight of the individual container receptacles 19 plus the empty tube 20 standing therein is first determined by lifting the weighing table 23 .
