Definitions
- Packaging with a container having at least one thin location and with a plurality of portion packs and method for detecting leaked portion packs
- the invention relates to a package with a container and with several portion packages, which are located in the container. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for detecting leaked portion packs in the container.
- cleaning agent preferably liquid detergents or cleaning agents
- a portion pack with a liquid cleaning agent is known, which is enclosed by a sheath.
- the envelope is made of a material that dissolves on contact with water. If it comprises, for example, a liquid detergent, the sachet can be inserted into a corresponding detergent compartment of a dishwasher, wherein after the dissolution of the enclosure, the liquid detergent can exert its effect.
- a rinse tab of compressed detergent powder an advantage of the sachet can be seen in the fact that it develops its full effect very quickly. So the portion pack can also be used well in short-term rinse programs.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a package with container and portion packs therein, which can be produced or provided inexpensively. Furthermore, it is the object of the invention to develop a simple and cost-effective method for detecting a possible leakage of the portion packs in the container.
- the packaging according to the invention has a bottom with a bottom wall, wherein in the bottom wall at least one thin point is formed with a boundary wall whose wall thickness is smaller than the wall thickness of the bottom wall.
- the thin spot has a
- the wall thickness of the thin point can be significantly reduced. If the wall thickness of the bottom wall is set to 100%, the wall thickness of the boundary wall can assume values of 10 to 70, preferably 20 to 50%.
- the wall thickness of the thin spot can be in a range of 0.05 to 0.5 mm (millimeters). A preferred range, the wall thickness of the boundary wall of the thin point ranges from 0, 1 to 0.3 mm.
- An area of the thin spot may be 0.5 to 25 mm 2 (calculated in a plane parallel to the boundary wall of the thin spot). In one embodiment of the invention, the area is in a range of 3 to 15 mm 2 . A ratio of the maximum expansion of the thin point in one direction in said plane to a maximum extent of the
- Thin spot in a plane perpendicular to it in the plane is preferably smaller than 2. If the area is a square, this ratio would be equal to 1.
- the thin spot can be designed differently. When viewed from above or below, so perpendicular to the main extension of the bottom of the container, the thin point may be circular, but it may also have any other shapes, such as oval, triangular, square, polygonal (5-sided, 6-sided etc. ) or diamond-shaped.
- the small reservoir is defined, in which collects detergent, which consists of the im Container located portion packs has expired.
- the wall thickness of the boundary wall of the thin point can be very small, the container can be considered transparent in the region of the thin spot despite the use of a non-transparent material.
- the wall thickness of the boundary wall of the thin spot can be designed such that the color of the cleaning agent accumulated in the collecting basin clearly shimmers through the boundary wall of the thin spot.
- the cleaning agent can be colored in a distinctive color (red or blue).
- the bottom of the container could be heated by a suitable input of energy such as microwaves, in which case in particular the cleaning agent located in the collecting tank absorbs heat. This heat is then transferred to the boundary wall.
- energy such as microwaves
- the heated cleaning agent in the region of the collecting basin or the heated boundary wall would constitute a heat spot. With appropriate computer-aided evaluation could thus be seen, whether cleaning agent is in the reservoir or not.
- the Dünnstelle and the portion pack are preferably designed so that none of
- Portion packs protrude into the reservoir or can be partially in it. If the area of the thin spot is very small in comparison with dimensions (height, width and length) and the serving package has a certain rigidity, then a portion pack can not project into the collecting basin in part.
- the sachet may have a volume greater than or equal to 4 cm 3 or 7 cm 3 .
- the smallest dimension of the sachet in a spatial direction eg height, length or width in one embodiment is to be greater than 1 cm.
- the sum corresponds to a height of
- the wall thickness of the boundary wall of the thin point substantially the wall thickness of the bottom wall.
- the lower side of the boundary wall and the lower side of the bottom wall lie flush in a plane. The reduction of the wall thickness at the thin point thus leads entirely to the formation of the collecting basin.
- Another embodiment provides that the lower side of the boundary wall is slightly retracted relative to the lower side of the bottom wall.
- the sump is located at a lowest point of the container. Step out of the portion packs in the container
- the bottom of the container may have inclined bottom wall portions through which the spilled detergent is selectively guided to the reservoir. If the container is standing with its bottom on a level ground, the bottom wall portions may be inclined to the horizontal. It should be noted at this point that a side wall of the container, on which the container stands in order to check the tightness of the portion package, applies here as the bottom of the container. If, for example, the container is tilted to the side for leak testing, the side wall, which is then turned downwards, then counts as the bottom.
- a plurality of reservoirs or thinnings are provided, wherein a reservoir is arranged so that it can not run.
- This reservoir then serves as a reference reservoir. In comparison to this reference collecting tank, statements can then be made for one and the other collecting jaws, whether the latter are filled with spilled cleaning agent or not.

- the verification of leakage of the portion packs located in the container can be significantly simplified by the invention, since the closure no longer has to be released from the container for checking.
- the inventive method for detecting spilled detergent in a package provides that the package is fed to a detection device which, depending on the detection of cleaning agent in the collection basin, sends a signal for sorting out or a signal generated for reuse of the packaging.
- the process can be fully automatic.
- a camera system of the detection device creates an image of the container bottom or at least a portion of the container bottom in which the thin point is located. This figure can be evaluated with the help of a computer.
- a container can be accurately positioned by a transport system in a predetermined position over a camera of the camera system.
- the camera system now creates a photo of the container bottom, wherein due to the predetermined position of the container, the position of the thin spot on the figure is already known. If it is a digital photo, then the thin spot can be assigned a specific field of pixels. For example, if these pixels predominantly display the color blue, since there is blue-colored cleaning agent in the collecting basin, this recognizes a software for evaluating the pixels and generates a corresponding signal for sorting out the packaging. If the analysis of the pixels leads to a different result, the method generates another signal (for further use). It is also possible that to generate the signal for reuse a unique Evaluation signal must be present, for example, all located in the field of the Sammelbeckens pixels must be white or gray.
- the container Before creating the image, the container can be heated in the area of the container bottom.
- the container bottom can be heated by a suitable heat source, such as microwaves.
- the liquid detergent absorbs the energy of the microwaves and heats up accordingly.
- Liquid detergent in contact with the bottom of the container releases heat to the bottom wall.
- there is a special temperature distribution at the bottom of the container With the aid of a thermal imaging camera, this temperature distribution can be recorded and the corresponding thermal image evaluated, for example in comparison with reference images. In the evaluation, it can be taken into account that portion packs lying directly on the container bottom are also heated by the microwaves and correspondingly can be seen on the latter.
- the zone of elevated temperature due to the application of a portion pack on the container bottom differs from the shape of the collecting basin.
- the shape of the collecting basin or the shape of the zone of elevated temperatures due to the collecting basin can be increased from other forms
- infrared radiation could also be used as the heat source.
- the container bottom formed of plastic would heat up. Heat is transferred to the liquid detergent in areas where the tank bottom is in direct contact with liquid detergent. In these areas, thus, possibly after the expiration of a certain cooling or compensation phase, a different temperature results than where no heat can flow away from the heated plastic. This too can be done accordingly
- Thermal images are recorded. In particular, it can be determined whether
- Detergent is located in the sump.
- the evaluation of the wall temperature can be done immediately after the heat input or only after said cooling or balancing phase (for example, greater than 5, 10 or 30 seconds).
- the heat absorbing wall material is warmer where no heat can flow to the detergent.
- the wall material will be warmer, where the likewise heated detergent is applied and the heat is stored there longer due to the higher heat capacity than in the mere wall material.
- the inventive method is not limited to the detection of the temperature of the container bottom.
- the method can also determine on the basis of ultrasonic waves or X-rays whether or not there is (leaked) cleaning agent in the collecting basin.

- a wall thickness of the bottom wall 12 is denoted by y and should be 0.7 mm. From the difference of y and x results in a height of the collecting basin 41 of 0.4 millimeters.
- a diameter D of the round collecting basin 31 viewed from above should be 1.2 mm, so that this results in an area of the thin area 40 or the collecting basin 41 of approximately 1.13 mm 2 .
- the wall thicknesses shown in the figures to the dimensions of the container 10, the closure 20 and the portion packs 30 are not significantly represented.
- the volume enclosed by the container 10 and the closure 20 may be 200 to 3000 cm 3 .
- the liquid cleaning agent 32 emerges from this leaky portion pack 30 and, due to gravity, flows downwards in the direction of the bottom 11 (see FIG. 1). Since the thin point 40 is located in a lowest point of the container 10 (in fact, there are two thin areas 40), the leaked detergent collects in the reservoir 41. In the event of a large leakage or leakage of multiple portion packages 30 may the entire bottom 1 1 is covered with spilled detergent 32. But even in this case, the reservoir 31 is filled with detergent. Due to the wall thickness x, which is reduced with respect to the wall thickness y, the boundary wall 42 of the thin area 40 is transparent, in contrast to the rest of the container bottom. At least, shimmers through the boundary wall 42, the color of the light of the spilled detergent 32, which is located in the reservoir 31.
- a suitable camera system (not shown) is used, which is to be arranged here below the container 1.
- Camera system thereby creates a recording of the container bottom 1 1. This recording can be fed to an evaluation, which shows whether the reservoir 31 is filled with detergent. If this is the case, then it can be concluded that at least one of the portion packs 30 is leaking. Otherwise, it can be assumed that all sachets 30 are tight, otherwise the spilled detergent would have to be in the reservoir 41.
- FIG. 3 shows parts of an injection mold 50 in sections, in cross-section, through which in FIG
- the injection mold 50 has an outer mold part 51 and an inner mold part 52. Outer molding 51 and inner molding 52 are spaced from each other by the distance y.
- a pin 53 By inserting a pin 53 in the inner mold part 52, the thin point 40 can be realized with the reservoir 41.
- an existing injection mold for a container without thin spot can be retrofitted such that the container 10 for the packaging according to the invention 1 can be produced. For this purpose, only a small hole must be drilled or milled into the inner mold part 52, in which the pin 53 is inserted.
- a part 54 of the pin 53, which is in the inserted state of the inner mold part 52 also does not necessarily have to be circular.
- the protruding part 54 determines the shape of the thin spot 40 and the collecting basin 41.
- the shape can be very characteristic (for example star-shaped, in the form of a kidney or bony with a constriction). This characteristic shape can be located in the detection of in the reservoir 41 befindliches
- Detergent be helpful because it is a clear demarcation feature to portion packs that hang at least partially directly on the container bottom and thus also leave an impression on the container bottom.
- the portion packs 30 are filled into the container 10. Thereafter, in block 101, the container 10 is closed by placing the closure 20 on the open edge of the container 10. Thereafter, for a certain time, the package consisting of container 10, sachets 30 and closure 20 located therein is stored for a certain time (for example, 1 to 20 days, preferably 3 to 15 days) (see block 102). During this time, it is evident whether the portion packs 30 are tight, since, according to experience, a first-time release of the cleaning agent 32 from the wrapper 31 is very unlikely. In addition, it takes a certain amount of time until the cleaning agent 32, which has run out of a portion pack 30, reaches the collecting basin 41 and accumulates there.
- a certain time for example, 1 to 20 days, preferably 3 to 15 days
- a detection device After storage, the supply to a detection device (block 103). In the detection device, query 104 is made as to whether cleaning agent 32 is located in collecting basin 41. If the answer to this question is "yes”, then at least one has expired
- Portion pack 30 went out and sorted the appropriate packaging 1 or stored for error analysis (block 105). If the answer is "no", obviously no
- Cleaning agent leaked and the packaging in question 1 can be supplied to the intended further use (block 106).
- the packaging 1 can be packed with other packaging on a pallet and transported away for trading.
- FIG. 5 shows schematically a detection of spilled detergent 33 using ultrasonic waves 1 10.
- Ultrasonic waves 1 10 (longitudinal waves or transverse waves) are introduced from an ultrasonic sensor 1 1 1 (transmitter and receiver) with a suitable contact medium 1 12 such as silicone or rubber. Based on the reflected signals
- Packaging 1 sorted out.
