Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for sorting items of laundry, preferably items of laundry to be cleaned, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the sorting of items of laundry that are mainly to be washed and cleaned in some other way is carried out on the basis of mostly a number of sorting criteria.
  • the shape, size, type, color, fabric and/or weight of the laundry items are sorting criteria.
  • the sorting can take place in relation to one or more sorting criteria, for example according to washing programs.
  • the invention is now based on the object of creating a method and a device for at least largely automated sorting of items of laundry, or for sorting of items of laundry in mixed operation, in particular items of laundry to be washed or cleaned in some other way.
  • a method for solving this problem has the measures of claim 1. Accordingly, at least one imaging device is provided, which generates a preferably three-dimensional recording of at least some items of laundry.
  • the recording is preferably an image.
  • At least one item of additional information is preferably added to the recording, which supplements the information in the recording or the image generated by the at least one imaging device, in order to obtain all the sorting criteria required for automatic sorting.
  • the additional information is preferably such that does not emerge from the recording or the image generated by the at least one imaging device, but is characteristic of the item of laundry relating to the recording or the image.
  • the decisive sorting criteria are known from the preferably three-dimensional and/or colored image originating from the at least one imaging device or the image together with the at least one piece of additional information, so that the sorting can take place automatically using them in the area of the sorting station.
  • An advantageous development option of the method provides that the respective recording is stored in a database with the at least one associated piece of additional information. Additional information belonging to later recordings can be retrieved from this database without having to determine it again.
  • the method thus enables a self-learning effect which, after a certain learning time, enables fully automatic sorting of all or at least the majority of subsequent items of laundry.
  • the recordings can be broken down into the criteria.
  • the criteria can include the color, volume, type of fabric and/or weight of laundry items. It is conceivable to store the criteria together with the respective entry in the database. It may also be sufficient to store only the criteria derived from the recordings, for example by breaking them down, in the database.
  • Other criteria are preferably also stored in the database, for example those that contain subsequent weighing, scanning of the data carriers, or that have been obtained manually by operators, for example when sorting the items of laundry.
  • the method according to the invention provides that the data from such items of laundry that are provided with at least one data carrier are read out in the identification station from the data carrier of the respective item of laundry. It is then preferably not necessary to produce a photograph or image of such laundry items and no additional information is required or retrieved from the database. Items of laundry with data carriers can then be sorted directly and preferably without a detour past the at least one imaging device directly and only on the basis of the sorting criteria read from the at least one data carrier, such as a chip.
  • An alternative possibility for the automated sorting of items of laundry without a data carrier or with an unreadable data carrier provides for these items of laundry to be transferred, for example, to a storage section of the transport system.
  • the at least one additional criterion is preferably assigned manually to the recording, the image or the at least one automatically determined criterion of the laundry item in question in the area of the storage station or the storage section of the transport system.
  • the devices shown schematically are used for sorting laundry to be washed or otherwise cleaned, so-called dirty laundry, in commercial laundries.
  • dirty laundry in commercial laundries.
  • the drawings are shown for the sake of simplicity only some items of laundry 10 shown symbolically, namely only one item of laundry 10 in each station.
  • the device of 1 has a transport system 11, of which the 1 only one conveyor section 12 shows.
  • the conveyor section 12 of the transport system 11 has a rail with carriages that can be moved thereon or in it by a circulating conveyor line.
  • a large number of identical carriages follow one another at preferably the same, small distance. The distances are selected such that items of laundry 10 are slightly spaced from one another under adjacent carriages, so that they do not touch or overlap one another.
  • a transport bracket can be detachably attached to each carriage.
  • the respective transport hanger carries an item of laundry 10 ironed onto it.
  • the respective transport hanger can have a transponder, for example an RFID transponder.
  • the data read from the data carrier of the item of laundry 10 is then electronically added to the transponder of the transport hanger, that is to say married to it, so to speak.
  • only the data from the transponder of the transport bracket needs to be read, which is easier than reading the data on the data carrier of the respective item of laundry, which is hidden in the further course of the transport system can.
  • the 1 shows an example of a possible course of the conveyor line 12.
  • This has a continuous main line 13, a secondary line 14 branching off from it and a longer storage line 15.
  • the secondary line 14 branches off from the main line 13 in the area of a switch 16 and is in the area of a second switch 17 returned to the main route 13.
  • the storage section 15 branches off from the secondary section 14 at a third switch 18 and is returned to the main section 13 at the end at a fourth switch 19 .
  • the storage section 15 has a significantly greater length than the secondary section 14 .
  • the storage section 15 can also be longer than in FIG 1 represented, for example, by a meandering course.
  • the storage section 15 serves as a buffer store in which items of laundry 10 can accumulate before they are channeled back into the main section 13 .
  • the conveying section 12 can have any other configuration, in particular it can be adapted to the needs of the respective laundry. It is also conceivable that the conveyor line 12 has only one main line 13 , only one main line 13 and one secondary line 14 or only one main line 13 and one storage line 15 . In addition, several secondary routes 14 and/or storage routes 15 can also be provided.
  • the items of laundry 10 are transported further by the transport system 11 in the transport direction 20 .
  • the transport direction 20 can therefore also be referred to as the sorting direction.
  • the items of laundry 10 to be sorted are fed in on the left-hand side and the sorting process ends on the right-hand side with a targeted dropping or depositing of the items of laundry 10 according to their sorting criteria in a sorting station 21.
  • the items of laundry 10 can also be sorted and buffered in storage lanes according to type and/or cached.
  • the sorting station 21 is in the 1 only schematically indicated by compartments 22 arranged on one side next to the end of the main line 13. Purely by way of example in FIG 1 six compartments 22 of approximately the same size are shown. However, this sorting station 21 can have a larger or smaller number of compartments 22 .
  • the compartments 22 can also be arranged on either side of the end of the main line 13 .
  • the compartments 22 can be, for example, laundry trolleys, laundry bags or other containers designed to hold a larger number of items of laundry 10 that meet the same sorting criteria.
  • the sorting station 21 are located in the device shown 1 several identification stations or an identification station 23 with different identification devices.
  • the identification station 23 has at least one data reader 24, which preferably works without contact.
  • the data reader 24 is used to read out the data required for the automatic sorting of the items of laundry 10 from a data carrier of such items of laundry 10 which have a data carrier.
  • two data readers 24 can also be provided in order to read out data from data carriers of the items of laundry 10 and/or the transport hangers carrying items of laundry 10 .
  • the identification station 23 For items of laundry 10 that do not have a data carrier or whose data carrier cannot be read by the data reader 24, the identification station 23 has further identification devices that are 1 shown branch line 14 and the storage line 15 are assigned.
  • the branch line 14 is assigned two identification devices, specifically a scale 25 and an imaging device preferably embodied as a 3D camera 26 .
  • the 3D camera 26 is designed to generate a three-dimensional image or three-dimensional image of the respective item of laundry 10 transported past it. It is preferably a colored three-dimensional image or image in each case.
  • the scale 25 carries a short section 27 of the branch line 14. This section 27 is separated from the conveyor rail of the branch line 14, so that the scale 25 can determine the weight of the item of laundry 10 in the section 27 with the weight of the section 27.
  • the section 27 is separated from the branch line 14 in such a way that the carriages that can be moved on the conveyor rail reach the section 27 essentially seamlessly and can be transported from there back to the branch line 14 .
  • the 3D camera 26 is arranged behind the scale 25 as seen in the transport direction 20 .
  • the 3D camera 26 can also be provided in front of the scale 25 . It is also conceivable to provide only one 3D camera 26, i.e. no scales 25 or only one scale 25.
  • the storage section 15 is provided with two consecutive, preferably identically designed, manual identification stations for additional information required for sorting the items of laundry 10 .
  • the additional information is preferably sorting criteria that cannot be determined or derived from the criteria originating from the respective recording of the 3D camera 26 and/or the weight determined by the scales 25 .
  • Each manual identification station has an input panel 28, such as a keyboard, to which an operator 19 is assigned.
  • the manual identification stations are placed one behind the other at the end of the storage path 15.
  • the manual identification stations can also are located at other points of the storage section 15. It is also conceivable to provide only one or more than two manual identification stations on the storage section 15.
  • the respective identification station can also be provided in a decentralized manner at another location. Images of the items of laundry 10 are then transmitted to the at least one decentralized identification station.
  • the length of the storage section 15 is selected such that a large number of items of clothing hanging on carriages can be accommodated on it at the same time, as a result of which the storage section 15 serves as a buffer.
  • This buffer is required because the manual input of the at least one piece of additional information per item of laundry 10 requires more time than the automatic detection of the sorting criteria by the data reader 24, the scales 25 and/or the 3D camera 26. To avoid a jam in front of the respective identification station split and/or multi-lane storage sections 15 or circulating storage can also be provided.
  • the device does not need a manual one Input station, that is, no input panel 28 and, as a rule, no storage section 15 either. Then no operator 29 is required for sorting, so that such a device enables fully automatic sorting of the items of laundry 10, including items of laundry 10 that do not have a data carrier or whose data carrier cannot be read.
  • the method according to the invention is based on the device described above according to 1 described:
  • the method is characterized in that in the area of the identification station 23 the 3D camera 26 or another imaging device generates a recording or an image of the respective item of laundry 10 hanging under the transport system 11 and criteria for sorting are derived from this. If not all the sorting criteria of the item of laundry 10 required for sorting can be derived from the recording or the image and/or the criteria derived therefrom, the information derived from the recording or the image, in particular sorting criteria, is preferably used in the identification station 23 at least added additional information with the at least one missing sorting criterion and/or missing information from a database compared and/or supplemented with data from items of laundry 10 in a customer inventory.
  • the additional information can be the weight of the relevant item of laundry 10 recorded by the scales 25 . If the weight alone is sufficient, the respective item of laundry can be sorted using the automatically recorded sorting criteria by separating it from the transport system 11, namely the main line 13, at the corresponding compartment 22 of the sorting station 21.
  • the items of laundry 10 are provided with a data carrier that generally contains all the sorting criteria required for automatic sorting, these are read by at least one data reader 24 at the beginning of the main route 13 of the transport system 11 without contact from the data carrier on the item of laundry 10 and/or a data carrier of the Items of laundry 10 carrying transport hanger read.
  • the data then reaches a controller of the transport system 11, which controls the transport system 11 in such a way that the relevant item of laundry 10 is positioned on the compartment 22 of the sorting station 21 that corresponds to the sorting criteria determined by the data reader 24.
  • the recordings or the recording data or image data of the 3D camera 26 contain at least the outlines or the contour, i.e. the shape, of the item of laundry 10, but preferably also the color, the surface structure, the surface curvature and/or the topography of the item of laundry 10.
  • the weight of the item of laundry recorded by the scales 25 can represent additional information.
  • the relevant item of laundry 10 is discharged directly from the secondary line 14 in the area of the switch 17 and is thereby transferred to the main line 13, from where the item of laundry 10 is transported to the sorting station 21 and is automatically sorted there by delivery to the compartment 22 provided for the sorting criteria of the laundry item 10 in question.
  • all sorting criteria may be subjected to a plausibility check and/or query.
  • the items of laundry 10 are only transported back from the secondary line 14 to the main line 13 immediately after a recording, in particular a three-dimensional recording, has been made if the from the recording derivable data, in particular three-dimensional data, of the respective item of laundry 10 contain all the necessary sorting criteria or can be derived therefrom, if necessary, by calculation.
  • At least one piece of additional information is manually entered
  • the recording generated by the 3D camera 26 and, if necessary, the weight determined by the scales 25 are added in order to obtain all the sorting criteria required for sorting.
  • the at least one manually generated piece of additional information also reaches the control of the device and is stored here in the database in the same way as the image data of the recording of the respective item of laundry 10 and possibly the weight of the item of laundry 10 .
  • the at least one additional criterion is entered manually by two operators 29 in the exemplary embodiment shown in the input panel 28 assigned to them. This takes place along the storage path 15. Because the manual input of at least one piece of additional information takes more time than the automatic detection of the sorting criteria by the 3D camera 26 and/or the scale 25, the storage path 15 designed longer than, for example, the branch line 14. As a result, the storage line 14 serves as a buffer.
  • the at least one item of additional information After the at least one item of additional information has been entered manually by the operators 29 into the input panels 28, it is assigned to the previously recorded image or recording and, if applicable, the weight of the same item of laundry 10 in the controller or the database of the device and together with this in the database saved. All sorting criteria for the items of laundry on the storage line 15 are then stored in the controller, in particular in the data memory of the same, so that the items of laundry are then transported back from the storage line 15 to the main line 13 and driven along the main line 13 through the sorting station 21, where the respective item of laundry 10 is sorted according to the sorting criterion or sorting criteria of the at least one manually entered piece of additional information by delivery into such a compartment 22 of the sorting station 21 that corresponds to the sorting criteria of the respective item of laundry 10.
  • the controller of the device contains a program for comparing the criteria stored in the database, which are derived from the recorded images or images that have been recorded from previously sorted items of laundry 10 and possibly also the stored weight of the item of laundry 10. In this comparison With the criteria of the recordings stored in the database, it is determined whether at least some stored criteria of earlier recordings or images match criteria of the currently generated recording of the following item of laundry 10 . This correspondence does not necessarily have to be exact, it can lie within certain specified tolerance ranges. This also applies to the weight if the determination of the same is intended.
  • the criteria determined manually at the respective identification station are preferably also added to or stored in the database for the data record of the relevant item of laundry 10 and the sorting is then carried out.
  • the at least one piece of additional information in particular manually recorded additional information, which is stored in the data memory for the matching recording, in particular assigned to it, is assigned to the current recording of the still assigned to be sorted laundry 10.
  • the at least one piece of additional information is then not required for the item of laundry 10 currently to be sorted to be identified more. This item of laundry 10 then no longer needs to run through the storage path 14 . Rather, it can be fed back into the main line 13 directly from the secondary line 14 and this item of laundry 10 can thereby be automatically sorted in the sorting station 21 .
  • the method and the device were described above in connection with the 3D camera 26 for generating three-dimensional recordings or images.
  • the 3D camera 26 is preferably one that produces a three-dimensional colored recording or a three-dimensional colored image, as a result of which the 3D camera 26 also supplies the color of the relevant item of laundry as a sorting criterion.
  • several 2D cameras can also be used, which only produce two-dimensional recordings, a three-dimensional recording or a three-dimensional image being generated by appropriate evaluation electronics from the two-dimensional recordings of several two-dimensional cameras.
  • This recording or this image is preferably a color image in that at least one of the 2D cameras is designed as a color camera (RGB).
  • An identification feature for example an address or an individual number, is assigned to the respective carriage or its hook, its clamp or also the transport bracket hanging from it.
  • the control of the transport system 11 is based on this when the items of laundry 10 are transported through the transport system 11 and the positioning at specific points of the transport system 11, in particular when being transported through the identification station 23 and the sorting station 21.
  • the address or numbering of each carriage carrying an item of laundry 10 or of another component is determined by the controller, the sorting criteria, in particular the image of the respective item of laundry 10, the associated weight and/or the at least one associated piece of additional information, so that it is always known at which point on the conveying path 12 an item of laundry 10 with specific sorting criteria is located.
  • the automatic sorting of the respective item of laundry 10 can then take place by delivery to the relevant compartment 22.
  • the 2 shows the second example of a device which is preferably also used for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • This device has a transport system 30, like the transport system 11 of the device 1 is trained.
  • the course of the conveyor section 31 of the transport system 30 differs from the conveyor section 12 of the embodiment of FIG 1 .

  • the first branch line 33 branches off from the main line 32 in the area of a switch 36 .
  • One end of the branch line 33 is led back to the main line 32 at a second switch 37 .
  • the second branch line 34 branches off from the first branch line 33 at a point 38 .
  • Branch lines 33 to 35 are longer than necessary. As a result, the secondary routes 33 to 35, in particular the longer secondary routes 32 and 33, can serve as storage for a larger number of items of laundry 10 still to be sorted.
  • the items of laundry 10 are also transported further along the conveying section 31 of the transport system 30 in the transport direction 20 .
  • the transport direction 20 corresponds to the sorting direction of the laundry items 10.
  • a sorting station 42 at the end of the main line 32 of the transport system 30 is also in the 2 shown only schematically. Ten approximately identical compartments 43 of the sorting station 42 are shown symbolically in FIG. These are distributed on both sides of the end of the main line 32. However, the sorting station 42 can also have a larger or smaller number of compartments 43 or can be designed differently.

  • the data reader 44 has the same function and operates the same as that previously associated with the embodiment of FIG 1 described data reader 24.
  • the 3D camera 45 is preferably designed as a three-dimensional color camera. Seen in the direction of transport 20, the scale 46 follows the 3D camera 45 at a short distance.

  • the switch 38 Located behind the 3D camera 45 and the scale 46 is the switch 38 which can direct the items of laundry 10 from the first branch line 33 to the second branch line 34 . Due to the fact that the scales 46 and the 3D camera 45 are arranged in front of this switch 38, all the items of laundry 10 that are to be transported away further along the secondary routes 33, 34 or 35 run along both of them.
  • the second branch line 34 is assigned two further consecutive identification stations, which are manual identification stations 47 and 48 .
  • Each manual identification station 47 and 48 is designed as a workstation for an operator 49.
  • the identification stations 47 and 48 each have an input panel, for example a keyboard, possibly a screen.

It is conceivable to provide a camera at the manual identification stations 47 and 48, which generates an image of the respective item of laundry 10 at the identification station 47 or 48 and transmits this to a screen at another location, for example in an office.
  • the respective operator 49 can then decentrally enter each sorting criterion determined manually using the image shown on the monitor into the keyboard of the input panel.

  • a further manual identification station 50 with an operator 49 is provided on the third branch line 35 .
  • the manual identification station 50 has an input panel 51.
  • the additional information determined manually by the operator 49 from the item of laundry 10 currently located at the manual identification station 50 are then entered into the input panel 51 by the operator.
  • the operator 49 at the manual identification station 50 determines additional information which the operator 49 at the manual identification stations 47 and 48 could not determine, for example because it is more complex and therefore requires an operator 49 with more experience. Therefore, the last manual identification station 50 can also be referred to as an expert station 50.
  • All additional information determined by the operators 49 at the manual identification stations 47, 48 and 50 are, in particular, additional sorting criteria that are also stored in the database, together with such information and/or criteria that have previously been read by the data reader 44, the 3D camera 45 and/or the scales 46 are automatically determined and also stored in the database for the laundry item 10 in question.

  • the invention is also suitable for the automatic sorting of items of laundry 10 without data carriers.
  • a preferably three-dimensional and in particular also colored image is then generated for all laundry items 10, from which criteria are obtained which represent at least a large part of the sorting criteria and any missing sorting criteria, for example by manually entering at least one piece of additional information from which the missing sorting criteria or criteria can be derived stored in the database with the corresponding image.
  • the database contains a sufficient number of data records with criteria and additional information originating from recordings or images, it may be sufficient for the automatic sorting of subsequent items of laundry 10 with or without data carriers to generate recordings of the items of laundry 10 using just an imaging device and create criteria from them derive for sorting the laundry to the to extract the additional information belonging to the respective laundry items from the database without having to determine them again manually, for example.
  • the criteria derived from the recordings or images of the 3D cameras 26, 45 of the currently recorded item of laundry are compared with criteria stored in the database for earlier items of laundry 10. If recorded criteria of an item of laundry 10 match the criteria of an item of laundry already stored in the database , at least approximately match, in that the criteria are the newly recorded criteria within a determinable tolerance range of the criteria stored for an item of laundry 10, this indicates an identical or similar item of laundry 10. Then the further sorting criteria or additional criteria stored for this item of laundry 10, which belong to the comparable item of laundry 10 found in the database, can be taken over from the database.
  • the additional criteria or additional sorting criteria no longer need to be determined in any other way, in particular no longer at the manual identification stations 47, 48 and/or 50.
  • the greater the amount of data present in the database the greater the probability that a match will be established with an item of laundry 10 already stored in the database.
  • fewer and fewer additional criteria and additional sorting criteria need to be determined; in particular, the manual determination of criteria that cannot be recorded automatically decreases over time as a result of the constantly growing amount of data in the database.
