PROCEDIMENTO E APPARATO DI COMUNICAZIONE SEGNALI, IN MACCHINA ROTATIVA PER IMPIANTI DI IMBOTTIGLIAMENTO. PROCEDURE AND SIGNAL COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, IN A ROTARY MACHINE FOR BOTTLING PLANTS.
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
Formano oggetto del presente trovato un procedimento ed un apparato per la comunicazione di segnali e comandi nelle macchine rotative degli impianti di imbottigliamento. The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for communicating signals and commands in the rotary machines of bottling plants.
Negli impianti di riempimento di contenitori sono note macchine rotative quali riempitrici, sciacquatrici, etichettatrici, nelle quali una pluralità di teste operative sono disposte circolarmente sulla periferia esterna di una piattaforma rotante per svolgere prefissate operazioni sui contenitori. In container filling systems, rotary machines are known, such as fillers, rinsers, labeling machines, in which a plurality of operating heads are arranged circularly on the outer periphery of a rotating platform to carry out predetermined operations on the containers.
Le modalità ed i tempi di intervento delle singole teste operatrici sono regolate nelle macchine tradizionali in modo meccanico mediante camme e leverismi ben noti. The intervention methods and times of the individual operating heads are mechanically regulated in conventional machines by means of well-known cams and levers.
Recentemente sono state commercializzate anche macchine meccanicoelettroniche, in particolare riempitrici, in cui alcune operazioni tipiche delle teste o valvole di riempimento sono regolate e comandate elettronicamente da un elaboratore centrale che colloquia con dispositivi e sensori di tipo elettrico/elettronico associati a ciascuna testa per regolare le varie fasi del riempimento, controllare il livello del liquido nel contenitore, misurare la portata del liquido, ecc. Recently, mechanical-electronic machines have also been marketed, in particular filling machines, in which some typical operations of the filling heads or valves are electronically regulated and controlled by a central computer that communicates with electrical / electronic devices and sensors associated with each head to adjust the various stages of filling, check the liquid level in the container, measure the liquid flow rate, etc.
Il principale inconveniente della suddetta realizzazione è costituito dalla presenza di un pesante cablaggio che collega l’elaboratore centrale fisso con le singole teste o unità rotanti, tramite un distributore elettrico rotante. The main drawback of the aforementioned construction is the presence of a heavy wiring that connects the fixed central computer with the individual heads or rotating units, via a rotating electrical distributor.
La presenza di detto cablaggio aumenta la complessità costruttiva della riempitrice e complica anche la gestione operativa della stessa, ad esempio nelle fasi di manutenzione, in quanto ostacola l’accessibilità alle singole parti meccaniche della macchina. The presence of said wiring increases the constructive complexity of the filler and also complicates the operational management of the same, for example in the maintenance phases, as it hinders accessibility to the individual mechanical parts of the machine.
Scopo del presente trovato è quello di eliminare i suddetti inconvenienti e di rendere disponibile un procedimento ed un apparato per la comunicazione tra l’unità centrale e le singole unità operative rotanti che prescinda dall’utilizzo di cavi a bordo macchina consentendo uno scambio di segnali a distanza. The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks and to make available a method and an apparatus for communication between the central unit and the individual rotating operating units which is independent of the use of cables on board the machine, allowing an exchange of signals to distance.
Detti scopi sono pienamente raggiunti dal procedimento e dall’apparato che sono oggetto del presente trovato e che si caratterizzano per quanto contenuto nelle rivendicazioni sotto riportate. Said purposes are fully achieved by the process and the apparatus which are the subject of the present invention and which are characterized by the contents of the claims reported below.
In particolare il procedimento prevede l’utilizzo di raggi infrarossi per le comunicazioni tra una o più unità fisse e le singole unità rotanti a bordo macchina. L’apparato comprende una o più unità fìsse o “master”, collegate direttamente all’unità centrale, ciascuna delle quali comunica con unità “slave” associate alle singole teste operatrici rotanti. In particular, the procedure involves the use of infrared rays for communications between one or more fixed units and the individual rotating units on the machine. The apparatus includes one or more fixed or "master" units, connected directly to the central unit, each of which communicates with "slave" units associated with the individual rotating operating heads.
Queste ed altre caratteristiche risulteranno maggiormente evidenziate dalla descrizione seguente di una preferita forma realizzativa illustrata, a puro titolo esemplificativo ma non limitativo, nelle seguenti tavole di disegno in cui: These and other characteristics will become more evident from the following description of a preferred embodiment illustrated, purely by way of non-limiting example, in the following drawing tables in which:
- la figura 1 illustra schematicamente il presente trovato; Figure 1 schematically illustrates the present invention;
- la figura 2 illustra lo schema a blocchi circuitale della comunicazione tra unità “master” e unità “slave”. - figure 2 illustrates the circuit block diagram of the communication between the “master” unit and the “slave” unit.
Con riferimento alle figure, con 1 è stata complessivamente indicata una macchina rotativa, nel caso specifico una riempitrice, del tipo a piattaforma rotante, provvista di una pluralità di unità operatrici 2 o teste di riempimento disposte sulla periferia esterna della piattaforma. With reference to the figures, the reference numeral 1 generally indicates a rotary machine, in the specific case a filling machine, of the type with a rotating platform, provided with a plurality of operating units 2 or filling heads arranged on the external periphery of the platform.
Ciascuna testa di riempimento 2 è provvista di una valvola di riempimento 3, di un’elettrovalvola 4 e di un’unità “slave” 5, secondo quanto illustrato in figura 2, tutte rotanti solidalmente alla testa di riempimento. Each filling head 2 is equipped with a filling valve 3, a solenoid valve 4 and a "slave" unit 5, as illustrated in Figure 2, all rotating integrally with the filling head.
Con 6 sono state indicate unità “master”, quattro nell’esempio illustrato in figura 1, ciascuna delle quali è cablata con un’unità master centrale 7 che colloquia con un PLC 8 mediante una porta di I/O, e con un convenzionale PC o unità centrale di elaborazione e comando 9. With 6 "master" units have been indicated, four in the example illustrated in figure 1, each of which is wired with a central master unit 7 which communicates with a PLC 8 through an I / O port, and with a conventional PC o central processing and control unit 9.
Secondo il presente trovato, le comunicazioni tra il PC o unità centrale di elaborazione e comando 9 e le singole teste di riempimento 2 per regolare e comandare le varie fasi del riempimento ed il funzionamento della macchina, non avvengono mediante i tradizionali cablaggi, ma originalmente i cablaggi sono utilizzati solo fino alle unità “master” 6, che sono di tipo fisso, mentre tutti i collegamenti tra le parti fisse (unità “master”) e le parti mobili (unità “slave” 5 e teste di riempimento) sono realizzati tramite una trasmissione a distanza che utilizza raggi infrarossi, secondo quanto illustrato nelle figure ove le frecce 10 bidirezionali indicano una comunicazione infrarossa non cablata. According to the present invention, the communications between the PC or central processing and control unit 9 and the individual filling heads 2 for regulating and controlling the various phases of filling and the operation of the machine, do not take place by means of traditional wiring, but originally the wiring is used only up to the "master" units 6, which are of the fixed type, while all the connections between the fixed parts ("master" unit) and the moving parts ("slave" units 5 and filling heads) are made by a remote transmission that uses infrared rays, as illustrated in the figures where the bidirectional arrows 10 indicate a non-wired infrared communication.
