Definitions
- the invention relates to a system and a method for filling containers.
- the present invention has the object to provide a system and a method for filling containers, which provides a simple and quick Um- allow from a first container in a first box to a second container in a second box.
- an apparatus for filling containers comprises an emptying task, through which the system is supplied with boxes with empty containers to refill them, an unpacker, which removes the containers from the boxes, at least one treatment station, in particular for cleaning and Filling the containers, at least one treatment station, in particular crate washers for the boxes, a packer to which the finished treated containers and the empty boxes can be fed, for packing the containers into the boxes.
- a box diverter which can feed the boxes to the packer or dump the boxes out of the plant, i. can pass the packer.
- the system further comprises a first counter for determining the number of containers supplied to the system, and a second counter for determining a number of boxes which are sent to the packer.
- the system has a calculating device which can calculate, on the basis of signals of the first and second counting means, how many boxes for the determined number of supplied containers still have to be fed in so that all containers can be packed.
- the second counter can have at least one counter for determining the number of boxes supplied, wherein the at least one counter is preferably arranged in the region of the empties receiving and / or in the region of the depalletizer and / or in the region of the unpacker. It is advantageous if at the very beginning of the system, a first counter is arranged, since then it is always known how many boxes are already in the system at a certain time. Additionally or alternatively, a counter can also be provided in an area of the box distributor divider up to the area of the packer. It can be determined directly how many boxes are fed to the packer.
- the number of boxes removed can be determined by subtracting the numbers determined after the diverter switch from the number determined before the diverter switch.
- the corresponding counter can also be integrated in the distribution diverter or in the packer.
- the expression "in the range” here means that the corresponding counters can be integrated in the corresponding modules and / or are arranged on the transport path after that, however, before the subsequent module.
- the first counting device may comprise at least one counter for counting the supplied containers, wherein the at least one counter is preferably arranged after the unpacker in the direction of transport. It is advantageous to count the containers after the unpacker, as it happens that in the boxes not all places are filled with containers. Thus, the number of the supplied containers can be detected more accurately. Viewed in the transport direction, the accuracy of the count improves with increasing distance from the empties task, since then counted or rejected containers are automatically included in the count, for example. However, it would also be possible to determine a corresponding number of containers already at the empties task or at the depalletizer, for example by counting the number of pallets (if the number of boxes per pallet and container per box is known). However, a corresponding count is less accurate than the one previously described.
- the first counter prefferably has at least one second counter which can determine a number of dispensed containers. For example, if there is a bottle inspection device in front of the filler, which sort out defective containers, a corresponding number are counted and deducted from the number of detected supplied containers.
- the number of containers supplied detected by the at least one counter can be corrected by the, in particular empirically determined, correction value by the calculation device.
- the counting of the containers takes place relatively at the beginning of the entire transport path, for example in the area of the unpacker or the cleaning machine, and by previous processes it is known how large the proportion of rejects is up to the packer, the counted number can be corrected accordingly become.
- the calculation device send signals to a display, in particular to a mobile message system, which visually or acoustically indicates how many empty boxes and / or in particular pallets of the system are still to be supplied, for example via an empty frame task.
- the operator then knows exactly how many empty boxes or how many pallets with empty boxes on the empty frame task still have to be fed and can cause the corresponding.
- the display can also be a stationary display on the pallet feed from the depalletizer, so that the forklift driver knows which and how many pallets of which sort and where to place them.
- the calculation device may send corresponding signals to a control unit which controls a transport device which automatically removes the empty boxes, in particular the corresponding pallets, which were previously removed from the system for avoiding excess or for other reasons Returns the system.
- the corresponding facilitates the handling of the system significantly.
- the boxes can be provided on the transport route for the boxes accumulation sections.
- corresponding box storage or box magazines can be provided.
- Corresponding buffers allow greater scope in the process control and in particular prevent blocking of individual transport sections and also enable continuous process management. For example, there may be stowage paths between the emptying task and a palletizer and / or between the depalletizer and the unpacker and / or between the box washer and the box diverter and / or between the box diverter and the packer and / or between the depalletizer and diverter and / or an empty frame task and a depalletizer and / or between the packer and the palletizer.
- the system is designed such that a depalletizer is provided between the emptying task and the unpacker and a bag palletizer is arranged after the packer.
- the emptied through the Kastenverteilweiche empty boxes can then be supplied to the palletizer via a corresponding transport route.
- the palletizer provided for the finished filled containers in the boxes can also be used for the unloaded empty boxes, which are then available on pallets to be accepted again by an empty frame task at the end of the process nachzuspeisen.
- the separator may also be a box conveyor, which is stopped to separate the box streams.
- the separator may also be a box conveyor, which is stopped to separate the box streams.
- At least one separating device is also provided for the containers on their transport path and the system preferably also comprises a new glass feed, wherein advantageously also the new glass container stream can be stowed away by a separating device.
- a separating device e.g., targeted new glass can be supplied.
- the separator may also be a container conveyor, which is stopped to separate the container streams.
- the function signals from different treatment stations are used to count the containers or boxes.
- the corresponding can be realized easily and inexpensively.
- the depalletizer can be connected to the second counting device, wherein during depalletizing signals can be generated on the basis of which the second counting device counts the boxes. This means, for example, that each time the depalletizer clears a pallet, a corresponding signal is forwarded to the counter, from which, for example, the number of boxes can be determined, or the number of containers if the number of boxes per pallet and number of containers per box is known.
- the production of a first container in a first box is switched to the production of a second container in a second box.
- first the first containers are filled in the first boxes and after the last first box of the system has been supplied, can immediately thereafter with the production of two- th container in the second boxes are started, which are then also fed to the plant and unpacked.
- the second containers and the second boxes are then treated separately in each case in at least one treatment station.
- the finished second containers are then packed by a packer into the finished empty second boxes.
- second containers are first discharged via the box distributor.
- the box distributor In a period when there are still no filled containers ready for packing or more boxes being conveyed than needed for packing, and there is room on a jam line in front of the packer, i. ie e.g. that, for example, the second containers are not in the first treatment stations after the unpacker, for example after the unpacker in the area of the cleaning machine and the filler and not yet passed through the last treatment station (for example labeler).
- the boxes must be ejected especially if there are still first boxes in a range between box distributors and packers.
- the second boxes can be supplied via the box divider to the packer, so that there the finished treated second container are packed.
- the diverter switch can be switched at the earliest, when the last first box is transported at the end of the production of the first container via the diverter switch in the direction of Einpacker.
- the number of second containers supplied during the production of the equipment is determined.
- the number of second boxes supplied to the packer is also determined. From this it is calculated how many empty second boxes are still necessary for the determined number of supplied second containers. A corresponding number can then be added.
- the number of boxes supplied to the packer can be determined in different ways. For example, the number of boxes of a variety can be counted, which were fed to the plant and from which a number of boxes of the same variety are subtracted, which were discharged from the plant before the packer, for example via the distribution diverter or eg via an inspection device etc.
- the number of boxes fed to the packer can also be determined, for example, by counting the number of boxes of a sort directed from the box divider to the packer, for example an ess worn, for example, photocell on or after the Kastenverteilweiche.
- the number is determined when the last box has passed through the counter.
- the calculation also takes into account the number of boxes that were fed into the system via the empty frame task.
- the adjustment or the calculation can be done relatively late, for example, when the filling machine idles or even if the last treatment station (usually a labeling machine) idles, which is a particularly accurate determination of the container! allows.
- the system excessively supplied boxes can be discharged at a very high number, for example, via the distribution gate or manually removed by the operator or simply pass through the Einpacker without being packed.
- the operator then removes the empty boxes at the palletizer to avoid mixed pallets with full and empty boxes.
- the number of boxes supplied can be determined in the area of the emptying task and / or in the area of the depalletizer and / or in the area of the unpacker and / or in the area from the box divider to the area of the packer.
- the number of boxes fed in can also be counted in the area of the empty frame task in order to obtain an overview of how many empty boxes were fed via the empty frame task of the installation.
- the containers are preferably counted in the transport direction after the unpacker.
- the start of the supply of the second container in the second boxes already starts when there are still first containers and first boxes in the system. This is particularly efficient and allows a significant reduction of the changeover time.
- separating devices can be actuated which accumulate the second boxes in order to prevent the first and subsequent second boxes from being run up. Separators may also be provided to prevent mixing of first and second containers.
- the transport distance between diverter and palletizer is at least as long or a corresponding jam section or box storage is provided so that the number of transportable on this route boxes at least the number of boxes (eg second boxes), which should have space on a pallet , corresponds. This ensures that a pallet can be fully loaded by the palletizer without delays and transported on.
- the feeding of second Neuglas disposern, in particular in the inlet to a cleaning machine before the second container from the unpacker of the cleaning machine are supplied in particular starts the feed when the last first container in the cleaning machine and the inlet conveyor of the cleaning machine is / was stopped.
- This has the advantage that faster second container are ready at the Einpacker.
- the rejects can be determined, for example, by the number of containers supplied in an area before the first treatment station is counted to the unpacker or the unpacker and the number of containers after a last treatment station station, for example after labeling by the labeling machine.
- the containers pass after a filler a labeling and the number of supplied second container after emptying of the labeling machine is counted on or after the labeling machine. It can then be calculated a corresponding number of second boxes, which is still needed to pack all containers. Missing second boxes are fed to the packer. Excess boxes in the system can be removed via the diverter switch. With pallet-wise feeding, this has the advantage that just as many or at least as many boxes are transported to the packer via the diverter switch, as is necessary for packaging the specific number.
- the second containers or boxes are treated in the respective treatment stations only if, if necessary, the corresponding treatment station has been converted to the second containers or boxes.
- a changeover can occur if either an operator initiates a changeover at a certain point in time, or a changeover takes place automatically when the last containers or boxes of the first sort have passed the corresponding treatment station. By counting the containers and / or boxes in several places, it can also be determined by a calculation device when a changeover is required. When changing a corresponding enable signal can then be generated so that the containers or boxes of the second variety can then be treated in the treatment station.
- a corresponding release signal can also be generated by an operator, for example by pressing a button.

It is possible that the number of containers supplied is already recorded in the area of the empties task by the number is determined on the basis of the number of supplied pallets and the number of pallet locations. This results in the number of boxes loaded on a pallet and the number of containers.
- a count of the pallet layers can be done in the field of empties task, for example, by sensors such as light barriers or camera systems, etc.
- the depalletizer is connected to a first counter, wherein signals can be generated during depalletizing, for example during pallet lifting or when the pallet is empty in layers, on the basis of which the counter The number of containers per box and how many boxes per pallet can be counted.
- the number of containers is counted additionally or alternatively in or after the unpacker 3 via a counter 12a.
- the count is more accurate here because it happens that not every box is completely filled.
- the meter may be connected to a photocell, however, when the box is unpacked, the unpacker may also generate a corresponding signal which will be passed to the counter 12a to fill the consecutive containers.
- the system may have a Neuglaszuspeisung 20, which feeds new glass into the system.

- the filled with ready filled first containers boxes are then fed via the transport line M the Bepalettierer 11 over the route K, for example, via a binder and a pallet and leading out of the plant to a Vollgutpalettensenke.
- the empty first boxes washed by the box washer 5 are directed via the distributor 5 to the packer 9.
- the depalletizer 10 can start depalletizing the second boxes filled with the second containers, which are transported further on the transport path B.
- two empties pallets were depalletted with first boxes and moved to the unpacker 3. This means that the remainder of the first containers in the first boxes still passes through the treatment stations 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, 23, while second containers are already being fed into second boxes of the system.
- the manifold 5 still stops empty boxes from the empty frame task 18 and the depalletizer 10 and leaves only first empty boxes from the box washer 4 towards the packer 9.
- Fig. 5 now reach the second boxes with the empty second containers already the unpacker 3.
- the last first box from the unpacker has now left the diverter 5 direction Einpacker 9.
- the box divider 5 gives a signal to the depalletizer 10, which depalletizes further empty empty first boxes from the empty frame task 18.
- the diverter 5 is switched to empty boxes, which were delivered by the Leerrahmenetzgabe 18 via the depalletizer 10.
- the calculation device 17 has already calculated for the first containers in the first boxes, how many empty boxes must be additionally supplied at the end of production on the Leerrahmenetzgabe the system to compensate for the number of discharged boxes at the beginning of production.
- the first counter has determined the number of containers supplied to the system via a counter, for example via a counter 12a after the last first container has been unpacked, and / or with one or more of the other counters 12b, 12c, 12d, if in each case here the last container has passed through the counter.
- the discharged containers for example, from a pool inspection device 14
- the determined value can also be corrected by a particularly empirically determined or a statistically determined correction value.
- the second counter may determine how many boxes have been fed toward packer 9, e.g. when the last first box has passed the counter. From this, it can be determined how many additional boxes need to be additionally routed via the empty frame task 18 to the packer via the distributor 5 so that all containers can be packed. The determined number of containers, as shown in Fig. 6-8, then fed to the packer 9. It can also be determined and displayed how many pallets still have to be fed to the empty frame task 18 at a particular time (FIG. 6). This can be displayed or, as previously described, done automatically.
- the prerequisite for the treatment and subsequent onward transport of the new type of pallets / boxes / containers is, in each case, that a required changeover of the treatment station to the new variety has taken place, if required.
- This information can be provided by the operator by e.g. the actuation of a key can be confirmed or automatically recorded.
- Fig. 7 new glass containers of the second kind are supplied to the cleaning machine. It is also possible that the new glass containers are fed to a container rinser (not shown), which is located immediately in front of the filler.
- the last empty first box has now passed through the diverter 5 and was transported in the direction of the packer.
- the depalletizer can depalletise 0 more pallets from the empties task 2, which are then driven towards the unpacker.
- the empty second boxes from the box washer 5 are not fed to the packer 9, since here still the empty first boxes are transported on the route E and in addition still no finished second container for the Einpacker 9 are available.
- the second boxes bypassing the packer on the route F at the packer 9 are dammed up by a separating device in front of the palletizer since the first filled boxes are still being palletized.
- the second containers can already be successively supplied to the treatment stations.
- Fig. 10 shows that the last first box is driven over the diverter diverter 5 to the packer 9 and then to the palletizer and palletized. It is possible that, if the last container was unpacked from the unpacker, additional new glass is supplied via the new glass feed 20.
- first boxes can, for example, empty to the palletizer 11 or be discharged from the transport route, e.g. by operator intervention or automatically.
- second empty boxes accumulated on the route F and D by dividing elements are fed to the palletizer 11 and deposited on pallets and removed from the system without being bound or labeled, however. after which these empty second pallets can be returned to the empty frame task 18 at the end of the process in a further product change. It is possible and advantageous that a counter 15d has determined the number of boxes which have been discharged via the diverter.
- Fig. 13 shows that after the second containers have been filled by the labeling machine, the transfer manifold 5 is now switched and the empty second boxes are passed from the box washer 5 to the packer 9 so that the second containers can be packed into the second boxes.
- a changeover of the diverter 5 for transporting the empty second boxes from the crate washer can be carried out at the earliest when no first empty boxes are more in the transport section E and only so many boxes may be supplied to the packer 9, that there is no blockage before you can start packing. As shown in Fig.
- the second filled containers are now packed and the process is repeated when a third product is to be filled, at the end of production of the second containers in the second boxes, as previously in connection with the first boxes is determined with the calculation means 17, how many empty boxes at the end of production in addition to the already delivered to the Einpacker empty second boxes must be supplied to the packer, and the like is prompted.
- Fig. 14 shows the inventive method according to an embodiment again simplified.
- certain counters e.g. the counters 12a and 12b, respectively, determine how many containers have been fed to the plant in the production of a particular product.
- the counts are advantageously carried out when each of the last container has passed through the measuring device or the counter.
- it is determined how many containers were discharged from the system, for example via the counter 13.
- the counter can then determine how many containers of the system were supplied in total.
- the second counter how many boxes are fed to the packer. It can either be determined, for example, how many boxes are fed to the system, for example via the counter 15a on the Leerrahmenetzgabe 2, and how many boxes are discharged, in particular at the start of product, for example, via the counter 15d or optionally additionally discharged. Signals corresponding to the number of containers supplied to the plant and the number of boxes supplied to the packer are then fed to the calculating means 17, which then calculates how many boxes are still left so that all the containers supplied can be packed. As the boxes are fed by pallet, the number of pallets can be determined. A corresponding number of boxes or pallets can then be fed via an empty frame task 8 for receiving empty boxes.
- An indicator may indicate to the operator how many pallets need to be fed to the empty frame task. If pallets have already been conveyed in advance via the empty frame feed 18 to the depalletizer 10 on line Q or to the transport line P between depalletizer 10 and distributor 5 (automatically via a conveyor controlled by a controller or manually) before the calculation has been made, this number may also be exceeded counting a counter 24 and or 16 on the depalletizer and / or on the empty frame task 18 and taking it into account in the calculation or display, as indicated by the dotted line 14.
