Definitions

  • bottles which are indefinitely, i. arbitrarily populated bottle crates are delivered, first automatically categorized according to different criteria, such as bottle geometry, bottle color, labels, etc. and then sorted, so as a result, each bottle crate is as completely as possible equipped with only one type of bottles, usually each box type one or a few Bottle types are assigned.
  • Bottles of one sort, associated with a type of box are referred to in the context of this description as boxes for boxes of this type.
  • Bottles of other types of bottles are referred to herein as false bottles for boxes of this type of box.
  • a gripper head which has a plurality of ordered individual gripper.
  • the order of the single gripper corresponds to the order of bottle positions in the bottle crate, i. of positions in the bottle crate where bottles can be positioned.
  • the gripper head moves specifically over the provided on the conveyor line bottle crate, takes with its individually controllable single grippers the respective associated false bottles, drives to a provided next to the conveyor line bottle memory and sets the faulty bottles there. He then takes according to the pattern of defects now present in the box, the bottle memory a corresponding number of bottles of good, goes back to the bottle crate and fills the gaps in the bottle crate with bottles of good.
  • the transfer device a plurality of functionally similar, includes independently controllable and arranged in the conveying direction of the conveyor line one behind the other gripper heads, each having exactly two individually controllable single gripper and each associated with a arranged outside the conveyor line bottle memory.
  • the basic idea of the present invention is to split the large box-shaped gripper head comprising a plurality of individual grippers into a series of gripper heads with the smallest possible design.
  • Each of these minimalist gripper heads has exactly two individually controllable single grippers.
  • Each gripper head is suitable and in the context of the method according to the invention also intended to make only a minimal contribution to the entire sorting process. It may be a pure false bottle removal, a pure good bottle filling or an exchange of a false bottle against a good bottle in bottle crates. When pure removal or filling process can be handled according to the number of individual gripper per rapier head, two or even a single bottle. During a replacement process, exactly one wrong bottle is exchanged for exactly one good bottle.
  • Each of these three alternative elementary sorting steps can be carried out in a single cyclic movement of the gripper head, ie during one Drive from the bottle store to the bottle crate on the conveyor line and back or from the bottle crate on the conveyor line to the bottle store and back.
  • An essential advantage of the invention is that the comparatively simple movement which the comparatively small and light gripper heads execute in the context of an elementary process have only a few braking and acceleration phases, where only small forces are required due to the small masses to be accelerated. As a result, considerable amounts of energy can be saved; In addition, the structural design of bearings, carriers, etc. may be smaller and thus cheaper.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that a variety of crates can be sorted on a plant according to the invention.
  • bottle crates vary considerably both in the number and shape and size of their bottle positions.
  • a box-shaped gripper head is extremely inflexible in this respect and can only cope with a fraction of the possibly resulting empties.
  • a sorting system according to the invention works completely independent of the specific box shape and can handle boxes of any box shape in any order, as long as only the respective stocking pattern is transmitted from an upstream placement detection device to the control unit.
  • the conveyor line is designed as a clamping conveyor. This has the advantage that in their bottle position jammed bottles can be solved by increased force of the respective single gripper, without changing the position of the crate on the conveyor line.
  • the continuous operation of the conveyor blocks avoids acceleration and deceleration processes, which in turn can lead to energy savings and smaller, ie cheaper design of bearings and carriers.
  • the aforementioned synchronized movability of the gripper heads is used for this purpose.
  • the conveying path is equipped with a barrier sensor detecting a starting time of each bottle crate and a clock synchronized with the conveying movement of the conveying path, both of which are connected to the control unit in an information-transmitting manner.
  • the start time of each bottle crate can be detected by means of the cabinet sensor and transmitted as well as a clock signal synchronized with the conveying movement of the conveyor line clock to the control unit, which calculates the trajectories of the bottle positions of the bottle crate and the movement of the bottle crate from the stored stocking pattern of the bottle crate Gripper heads controls accordingly.
  • each gripper head with an imaging sensor system and to let the control unit calculate the respective bottle positions by image processing from the sensor material obtained.
  • this variant is - at least in the current state of the art - expensive and more prone than the preferred, non-imaging sensor.
  • the time is determined by means of a light barrier, at which the bottle crate passes a defined position on the conveyor line.
  • tactile barrier sensors can be used here.
  • the true position of the bottle crate on the conveyor line can be calculated at any time.
  • FIG. 1 shows a highly schematic representation of a section of a bottle sorting system 10 according to the invention.
  • the detail shown extends along a section of a conveying path 12, which may be formed, for example, as a conveyor belt or, preferably, as a clamping conveyor.
  • the conveying direction of the conveyor line is indicated by the directional arrow 14.
  • the conveyor line 12 serves the preferably continuous promotion of crates 16, which are determined by a basically undetermined assembly pattern, which, however, determined by an upstream, not shown Be Publishedungsmustererkennungs worn and transmitted to a control unit, also not shown, in the conveying path.
  • the assembly pattern of each bottle crate 16 and its exact position on the conveyor line 12, which is detected with suitable sensors, can therefore be assumed to be known in the control unit. It follows that the coordinates of each individual bottle position of each bottle crate 16 on the conveyor line can be assumed to be known at virtually any time.
  • Each sorting elementary station includes a side of the conveyor line 12 arranged bottle memory 20 and a gripper head 22, which is mounted along a transverse to the conveying direction and the conveyor line 12 and the bottle memory 20 spanning traverse 24 linearly movable and driven by a motor.
  • the mobility of the gripper head 22 is indicated by the movement arrow 26.
  • the traverse 24 is, in turn, displaceable parallel to the conveying direction and driven by a motor mounted on a rail system 28.
  • the mobility of the traverse 24 is symbolized by the movement arrow 30.
  • each sorting elementary station 18 is assigned a conveyor section which does not overlap with the conveyor section of the adjacent sorting elementary station.
  • Each gripper head 22 has exactly two individual grippers 221, 222 which, in the embodiment shown, are arranged side by side in the conveying direction for better visibility. In fact, however, an arrangement is preferred transversely to the conveying direction, since this the required space in the longitudinal direction relative to the in FIG. 1 reduced variant shown. In any case, the individual grippers 221, 222 of each gripper head 22 are individually controllable, as symbolized by the vertical movement arrows 321, 322nd
  • each of the sorting elementary stations with a single cyclic movement of its gripper head 22 between the currently located in the associated conveyor section section bottle box 16 and the associated bottle memory 20 change the assembly pattern of the bottle crate by either a false bottle in the Bottle case 16 is exchanged with a good bottle in the bottle memory 20 or by one or two false bottles removed from the bottle case 16 and converted into the bottle memory 20 or by one or two bottles of material removed from the bottle memory 20 and converted into the bottle crate 16.
  • the five sorting elementary stations shown can be changed the assembly of up to ten bottle positions in a bottle crate 16. This corresponds to a change rate of approx.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the sorting method according to the invention using the example of a bottle crate 16 with 20 bottle positions and a loading pattern as in FIG. 3 shown at the top left, namely with 16 bottles of good 161, a false bottle 162 and 3 empty positions 163. This corresponds to a Fehlbe Publishedungsquote of 20%.
  • the bottle storage 20 of the first sorting elementary station 18 which is also preferably designed as a bottle crate, more preferably as a bottle crate of the same type as the bottle crate 16 to be sorted, sixteen goods bottles 161 (relative to the bottle crate 16 to be sorted) and four false bottles 162 according to the in FIG. 3 (Line 2 first field) shown mounting pattern are arranged.
  • the bottle memory 20 is thus full, so that no pure implementation of bottles from the bottle case 16 in the bottle memory 20 is possible.
  • the bottle memory 20 has an excess of good bottles 161, which is negative in terms of flexible responsiveness to different sorting tasks.
  • Cheaper would be an approximate equal distribution of good and false bottles and the presence of at least some empty positions in the bottle memory 20.
  • the control unit controls the sorting elementary station therefore so that a maximum number of good bottles 161, ie two pieces, converted from the bottle memory 20 in the bottle crate 16 become.
  • the bottle stores 20 are preferably taken from the two food bottles in the same spatial relation as there are adjacent empty positions 163 in the bottle box 16 to be sorted.
  • the resulting population pattern of the bottle crate 20 is in FIG. 3 shown in the bottom line on the far left.
  • the resulting assembly pattern of the bottle crate 16 to be sorted is in FIG. 3 in line 1 shown as a second partial image.
  • the gripper head 22 With a slight position correction, the gripper head 22 then brings its first single gripper 221 over the resulting empty position 163 and sets the first gripper 221 located on the material bottle 161 there. Finally, the gripper head 22 moves back to the bottle memory 20 and sets with his second single gripper 222 from this held false bottle to an empty position in the bottle memory 20 from. It can basically be any empty position; Preferably, spatially contiguous clusters of bottles of the same type are formed.
  • the resulting pop-up pattern of the bottle memory 20 is shown in FIG FIG. 3 in line 3, second partial image shown.
  • the resulting assembly pattern of the bottle crate 16 to be sorted is in FIG. 3 shown in line 1 third field. There remains the task of filling a remaining empty position 163 with a good bottle 161 from the bottle store 20. This works in an analogous manner to the above-described, first sorting step, but here only one bottle must be implemented. The result of these only three sorting steps performed by three sorting elementary stations is a bottle crate 16 completely filled with product bottles 161.
  • control unit determines the order of the individual sorting steps and distributes them to the different sorting elementary stations.
  • criteria according to which the control unit determines the order of the individual sorting steps and distributes them to the different sorting elementary stations can be adapted by the person skilled in the art to the requirements of the individual case.
  • different strategies can be advantageous.
  • the number of actually used sorting elementary stations is not limited in principle.
