Definitions
- the present invention relates to a monitoring method for a
- Such a blown film is a
- Foil product which is made up of a large number of individual layers.
- extrusion devices consist of one Plastic granulate produce a flowable layer composition and apply it in a flowable manner via an appropriate outlet nozzle.
- this outlet nozzle is configured essentially in a ring shape, so that the flowable extrusion material exits in a tubular manner.
- this tubular configuration widens, so that a film bubble forms.
- the expansion of this film bubble along the direction of extrusion is then stopped when the flowable extrusion agent cools to such an extent that it is no longer flowable, that is to say it solidifies.
- the area where this happens is also called the frost area or frost line.
- a disadvantage of the known methods is that the stability of the production depends on a large number of different influencing parameters. Some of these influencing parameters relate to environmental parameters, such as air pressure, temperature or humidity in the production hall. Other influencing factors that are not within the sphere of influence of the actual machine of the blown film device can also be relevant for the stability of the production and / or the quality of the film product produced. In order to be able to ensure this stability of the film product during production and the quality properties in the desired manner, manual control by the operating personnel of such a blown film device is therefore used in the known solutions at least in part. It should be pointed out that, depending on the environmental parameters, for example the temperature in the production hall, the same setting of the blown film device can lead to different stabilities and to different qualities. In the known solutions, the manual experience of the operating personnel must therefore be relied on, so that on the one hand there is a certain production risk, and on the other hand, reproducibility of positive or good production is at least not automatically possible.
- the above task is solved by a monitoring procedure with the
- a monitoring method is used to monitor a film bubble in an outlet area after an outlet nozzle of a blown film device.
- the monitoring procedure has the following steps:
- the previous solution of manual monitoring and control of the blown film device is therefore replaced by an at least partially automated solution of a monitoring method.
- This possibility is based on the fact that the shape or the corresponding formation of the geometric shape of the film bubble can give a decisive indication with regard to the production stability and the production quality.
- this blown film shape or the film contour has only been perceived by the operating personnel and, depending on the level of experience of the operating personnel, can contain information here for a necessary readjustment.
- an optical recognition of at least one contour parameter of this film contour is now carried out the bubble.
- These can be one-dimensional as well as two-dimensional, three-dimensional or multi-dimensional contour parameters. Details and exemplary embodiments for contour parameters will be explained in more detail later. In the simplest case, this is a description of at least part of the bubble shape of the film bubble using an assessable and qualitatively and / or quantitatively processable contour parameter.
- a contour parameter As soon as a contour parameter has been optically recognized in an automated or partially automated manner, it can be digitally processed further. In a monitoring method according to the invention, this is done by comparing this at least one recognized contour parameter with a specific default value.
- the specific default value is specific to the respective contour parameter. If, for example, a contour line is specified as the upper limit and / or lower limit for the entire contour line of the film contour, this default value can represent the corresponding line extension or the corresponding corridor.
- the result is a comparison which allows the real distance, in particular a geometric correlation value or a geometric distance, to be determined between the detected contour parameter and the specific default value.
- a contour deviation between the at least one detected contour parameter and the specific default value can be determined in this way.
- This contour deviation can now be output directly or in a further processed form in an indirect manner as a monitoring result.
- the center line of a symmetrical or essentially symmetrical (rotational symmetry) film bubble can be recorded as a contour parameter.
- This central axis of the film bubble can be optically recognized as a contour parameter.
- a comparison of this central axis of the film bubble with a specific default value can take place, for example, in the form of a central axis of symmetry of the outlet nozzle.
- the actual distance between the recognized central axis of the film bubble and the central axis of the outlet nozzle can thus be determined as the contour deviation. This deviation can be used directly as a monitoring result or in revised form output or displayed.
- a monitoring method can thus serve as the basis for carrying out a control intervention, for example in the form of a control intervention and / or in the form of a control intervention, on the blown film device manually, partially or completely automatically.
- a control intervention can thus be carried out, for example, by adapting the production speed, by adapting cooling air flows in the area of the outlet nozzle or by further geometric or production-technical process parameters, in order to determine the contour deviation the next time an inventive method is carried out
- the procedure can be carried out both qualitatively and quantitatively.
- the contour parameters as well as the specific default values can be set in purely qualitative terms, so that, for example, a subsequent control intervention only takes place when a corresponding maximum or minimum threshold value for the contour deviation is exceeded.
- quantitative monitoring is also possible, so that based on the quantitative training, i.e. the amount of
- the output of the contour deviation as a monitoring result can be designed both for a manual control intervention by the operating personnel and for an automated or partially automated control intervention by a control module of the blown film device.
- the advantages according to the invention are achieved in both cases. Because the film shape of the blown film or the film bubble is now monitored in an automated manner, the advantage of reproducibility can be guaranteed even with a subsequent manual check because an automated or partially automated detection of the corresponding contour parameter forms the basis for this manual control intervention. It is preferred, of course, if, based on the monitoring result, a partially automated or even fully automated regulation or control is carried out as a control intervention.
- the optical detection detects at least one of the following contour parameters:
- the list above is a non-exhaustive list.
- directly two-dimensionally ascertainable contour parameters such as the exit angle or the transition angle
- the exit angle is the angle which is established between the outer contour of the film bubble and the central axis of the exit nozzle in the exit area directly after the exit nozzle.
- a transition angle to this transition section can also be determined here. Since the film bubble usually runs without kinks here, a corresponding exit radius and / or a transition radius can also be ascertainable at the two points of the exit angle or the transition angle.
- the total distance which is required to reach the transition section from the film bubble can also provide information for the method according to the invention.
- Even sections or Partial positions of the contour line which can be precisely determined, for example, on the basis of their geometric lateral representation, can be used as contour parameters. Additionally or alternatively, imperfections, thin spots or even missing material in the form of perforations in the film bubble can be identified by a monitoring method according to the invention.
- the position and / or the course of the frost line that is to say the point at which the material of the film bubble solidifies, can also be detected according to the invention.
- the detection of reflections or similar optical features can also be provided for the detection in an optical manner.
- the monitoring result is output as a visual display for an operator of the blown film device.
- This optical display can be shown both statically in the form of a photo or continuously in the form of a video or in the form of a history of several photos.
- the blown film device or the film bubble can be shown as a course on the photo or video.
- Corresponding auxiliary lines can represent the monitoring result in the form of the contour deviation, the contour line or other contour parameters.
- the visual display can be part of a corresponding monitoring device.
- the monitoring method can also be carried out at least in part on a mobile terminal, for example a tablet or a cell phone, by the operator, so that the additional information, in particular the display of the Monitoring result, as a visual display directly on his mobile device.
- the monitoring result is output to a control module, which then carries out at least one control intervention on the blown film device based on the monitoring result.
- a control module which then carries out at least one control intervention on the blown film device based on the monitoring result.
- Manual intervention explained in the preceding paragraph can therefore be a partially automated or fully automated feedback with a control method of the blown film device.
- This can be a control and / or a regulation.
- the intervention is specific as a control intervention for the type of contour parameter and / or for the type of contour deviation.
- the control intervention can be designed both qualitatively and quantitatively specifically for the contour deviation or for the monitoring result.
- the monitoring result is compared with a control memory, a specific control intervention being determined.
- a control store can be designed as a temporary or long-term control store. It also allows the control intervention to be displayed as a specific control intervention before it is carried out.
- the control memory can therefore store a large number of specific control interventions in the correlation to the respective monitoring result, so that not only linear but also non-linear relationships between monitoring results and specific control interventions can be made available.
- the specific control intervention contains both the type and the direction or the quality and / or the quantity of the control intervention. After the control intervention, it is of course possible to write back to the control memory what real result factor this control intervention had, so that the success or the result of the specific control intervention can be checked and thus the control memory can be learned and improved over time.
- the contour deviation and / or the monitoring result is monitored as a function of time.
- a function of time not only allows snapshots to be taken, but also, in particular, gradients, that is to say rates of change, of the contour parameters under consideration. This not only enables a snapshot to be taken, but also an oscillation ratio, a wobble ratio or even regular frequency monitoring of the corresponding contour deviation.
- Foil bubbles for example, can tend to pulsate under certain environmental parameters expand and contract along a regular frequency. Since this is undesirable for a continuous production result, when considering the contour deviation over time, such frequency-pulsating as well as trembling or wobbling of the film bubble can be recognized.
- a necessary control intervention or control intervention can also be made stronger or less strong in order to take the actual situation into account.
- the information about the function over time can also be part of the monitoring result as an additional control result and can be output or displayed as such.
- the optical detection takes place symmetrically or essentially partially symmetrically to the film bubble.
- a symmetrical or essentially symmetrical optical detection is based on the fact that a symmetrical or essentially symmetrical formation of the film bubble goes hand in hand with high production quality and high production stability. This is usually a rotational symmetry or an axis symmetry with regard to the optical coverage. It should also be pointed out that the symmetry naturally depends on the viewing direction of the optical monitoring device or the optical detection module, so that a top view can be rotationally symmetrical and a side view can be axis symmetry. Of course, different symmetries can also be freely combined with one another in a monitoring method according to the invention.
- Surveillance procedures can also be used when the monitored Area of the optical detection module people are or can be at least partially.
- the position of at least one component of the blown film device and / or an operator is determined additionally and / or in relation to the at least one contour parameter.
- This additional relation allows further possibilities to be included in the control intervention.
- manual interventions on a cooling ring of the blown film device can be seen as position detection using the monitoring method.
- the corresponding relation of the components and / or the operator are therefore taken into account as part of the monitoring result or even output.
- this can also apply to position detection of a calibration basket which is arranged to be movable and movable above the outlet area.
- the monitoring method can thus additionally provide collision monitoring, as well as setting monitoring of manually adjustable components on the blown film device.
- qualitative as well as quantitative and / or absolute dimensions are conceivable within the meaning of the present invention.
- the contour deviation and / or the monitoring result is at least partially stored in a monitoring method according to the invention.
- This can be done, for example, in a control memory, as has already been explained. It is thus possible to save monitoring recipes or control recipes, which are saved in particular in connection with corresponding contour shapes of the film bubble.
- the storage of associated control interventions allows the quality or the probability of success of corresponding control interventions to be monitored and specific improved or adapted control interventions to be made available in the future. Individual or static images as well as video sequences can be saved. Of course, to reduce the data to be stored, individual parameters or the profile of recognized contour parameters can also be stored.
- the at least partial storage of the contour deviation, in particular in connection with the control interventions can form the basis for a learning system within the blown film device, but also in a higher level Way for a variety of similar and spaced blown film devices.
- a sudden change in the contour deviation and / or the monitoring result is detected in a monitoring method according to the invention.
- a high gradient in the change can also be referred to as a sudden change, so that such a jump in quality can serve, for example, to detect the changeover between two film material compositions.
- the detection of the different material compositions can also be carried out with a spectral analysis as part of the optical detection.
- the present invention also relates to a monitoring device for monitoring a film bubble in an exit region after a film nozzle of a blown film device.
- a monitoring device for monitoring a film bubble in an exit region after a film nozzle of a blown film device.

- the optical detection module can be arranged essentially on the blown film device.
- the optical detection module can have a sensor outside the film bubble as well as a corresponding one optical sensor inside the film bubble.

- the alignment can take place both vertically and horizontally and / or at an angle to the film bubble.
- the optical recognition module can also represent a combination of two or more identical or different camera systems or other sensors.
- the detection module has at least one of the following devices:
- a three-dimensional camera can be provided, for example, by two camera sensors that are spaced apart from one another in a defined manner.

- the detection module in particular a storage device for movable storage on the blown film device.
- a movable bearing can be designed to be reversibly movable, one-time movable or also movable during detection.
- the movement can be in the vertical direction, towards or away from the film bubble in the horizontal direction, but also in an angular direction or even in a direction of rotation.
- the movement with this bearing can be part of a calibration method which will be explained later or it can also be part of the detection method itself.
- a device and / or a variation can take place before the recognition, but also when recognizing the orientation or the positioning of the recognition module.
- the optical detection module has at least one sub-module for the detection of a specific wavelength or a specific wavelength range.
- a specific wavelength or a specific wavelength range For example, it is conceivable that only an infrared range and / or only an ultraviolet range can be recorded.

- Different optical sensors can also be combined within an optical detection module without increasing the complexity of the overall system of the monitoring device.
- a contrast device is additionally provided, in particular on a side of the film bubble of the blown film device opposite the position of the detection module.
- a jacket, a blanket or a contrast screen can be arranged on the back of the film bubble in order to correspondingly generate a stronger contrast between the film bubble and the air space next to the film bubble for the detection module.
- Such an improved contrast allows, on the one hand, to reduce the effort required in image processing and, in addition, to increase or optimize the recognition quality.
- At least one illuminant is additionally provided for illuminating the film bubble in the exit area.
- the lighting means can be adapted, for example, to the specific wavelengths and / or specific wavelength ranges already explained, or specifically emit light in these ranges.
- the lighting can be provided from the side, but also from the rear, so that both the absorption of the film bubble and the transmission allow a corresponding additional contour recognition.
- the contrast effect can be improved by such a defined and specific illuminant, and thus the contour recognition can be further increased.
- At least one marking means is also provided for in particular optical marking of the film bubble.
- a marking means can, for example, have a laser system in order to arrange optical lines, gratings or raster elements on the outside of the film bubble. The corresponding distortion can then be determined and made available to the monitoring method by the optical recognition module on the basis of the distorted color markings.

- the cleaning agent is now able to reduce incorrect measurements or the complete failure of the detection module or even to completely avoid them if a cleaning requirement is known and indicated in good time or if such cleaning can be carried out explicitly immediately.
- At least one switching means is provided in a monitoring device according to the invention for switching off the optical detection module in the absence of the film bubble and / or in the presence of the operator. If the film bubble is no longer available because production is shut down, the detection can also be switched off using the detection module, on the one hand to maintain the security and protection of the operator's privacy, and at the same time to avoid recording unnecessary data material .
- At least one display device is provided for displaying the contour deviation and / or the monitoring result.
- This display can be designed as an active or passive display, so that, in particular in the form of an augmented reality, the monitored film bubble is displayed together with the additional information on the contour deviation of the monitoring result.

- the film web is then laid flat and wound up, so that further processing of the film produced is possible.
- FIG. 1 shows, for example, the solution on a separate display device 52 of the output module 50 in order not only to display the captured image of the optical recognition module 20, but also, not shown in FIG. 1, additional indications of a monitoring result UE.
- this is only one way of providing a display and thus a manual control intervention.
- FIG. 1 also shows a variant in which 80 optical lines are applied to the film bubble FB as an optical grid using an optical marking means. These allow partial areas, in particular partial contours, to be made even more easily comparable or determinable by the optical recognition module 20.
- Figure 2 is basically based on the solution as shown in Figure 1.
- the optical detection module 20 has a bearing device 22 in a movable manner, so that a calibration method or adjustment of the orientation of the optical detection module 20 is now possible through the connection to the blown film device 100.
- a Cleaning agent 26 can keep the lens of the optical recognition module 20 free of dirt or even actively clean it.
- the optical detection module can be switched off when the blown film device 100 is at a standstill outside of production or when operating personnel are in the recorded area.
- an illuminating means 70 is also provided, which illuminates at least part of the film bubble FB with light for improved detection.
- these can be defined and specific wavelengths and / or wavelength ranges, which correlate with a corresponding detection spectral specificity of the optical detection module 20.
- Figure 3 is also fundamentally based on the solution as described in Figures 1 and 2.
- a contrast device 60 is arranged here as a contrast screen on the right side of the film bubble FB. This allows two-dimensional recognition of the optical recognition module 20 to be facilitated, so that the evaluation can subsequently be carried out in the monitoring device 10 more quickly and with less computation effort. It is also shown here that the corresponding transmission of the contour deviation KA and / or the monitoring result UE can be carried out to a control module 56 by radio transmission from the output module 50.
- FIG. 4 schematically shows the sequence of a method according to the invention in the monitoring device 10.
- the optical detection module 20 allows the contour parameter KP to be recorded and forwarded.
- the comparison module 30 it can be compared with the comparison value VW, so that the contour deviation KA can then be determined by the comparison in the determination module 40.
- Based on the Contour deviation KA can now be output in the output module 50 of the monitoring result UE, here via the communication means 54.
- an optional possible storage device 90 is provided, in which contour parameters KP, default values VW, contour deviations KA and / or monitoring results UE are stored or buffered. This intermediate storage can be used for feedback as a learning system, but also for evaluation over time and
- FIG. 5 schematically shows one side of a film bubble FB of a film contour FK.
- Individual possibilities of contour parameters KP are shown here as examples.
- the contour line KL continues into the transition section 114, so that a transition radius UR and a transition angle ⁇ can be determined there.
- the individual contour parameters KP can be used here in combination or individually and also in combination with other contour parameters.
