Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve bottle inspecting speed by circulatingly moving plural bottle inspecting machines through linear motor means, and detecting the position of a bottle by a position detecting linear encoder to intermittently stop the bottle at a inspecting position for its inspection. CONSTITUTION:Movers 20a, 20b of linear motors for driving a bottle inspecting machine and stators 30a, 30b of the linear motors circulatingly move each of the bottle inspecting machines 5a-5n between a return passage 8 and inspecting positions A-G, and a position detecting linear encoder 50 intermittently stops the machines 5a-5n at each of the inspecting positions A-G respectively. On the other hand, the bottle 2a at an inlet is transferred to the bottle inspecting machine having circulated to the inlet, for instance supporting rollers 71a, 71c of the machine 5a by a conical screw feeder 3 on an inlet side, and moved to each of the inspecting positions A-G for inspection. After the inspection at the inspecting position G, the bottle 2a is transferred to an conical screw feeder 6. The above formation can thus improve the inspecting speed of the bottle.

全検査時間は。(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In order to improve the productivity of the bottle making factory process line, it is necessary to increase the inspection speed of the logging process. The inspection time in the well logging process is the sum of the inspection time for each inspection item (1i, ++: the inspection time for the inspection item), plus the transfer time between each inspection item (tt, m: + for the food item - The value is the sum of the transfer time (transfer time from 1st to 2nd). That is, the total inspection time for all items n is:

いう問題があった。The minimum value of the inspection time, which is tl+ = (tl++t +tt+k), is determined by the performance of each inspection device installed at each inspection position A-G. The transfer time is also determined by the performance of the transfer equipment. However, in the conventional star wheel type bottle inspection device shown in Figure 6.7, the main star wheel 0 is attached to the transfer device.
5) is used. Since this main star wheel (05) applies centrifugal force to the bottles by rotating twice, the inspection speed is limited to about 200 bottles per minute, making it impossible to increase the inspection speed. In addition, although the time required for each inspection item differs depending on the inspection item, the main star wheel (05) stop time is matched to the inspection time of the inspection item that requires the most time. There was a problem that the speed could not be increased.

The plate inspection machine is moved to each of the inspection positions linearly arranged by the stator of the linear motor for driving the plate inspection machine attached to the stand, with intermittent stops. On the other hand, the empty bottles conveyed by the inlet bottle conveyor are passed from the inlet conical screw feeder to the inspection machine which circulates before the initial inspection position, and then the bottles on the floor are transferred to the support rollers of the bottle inspection machine. While being held between the bottle inspection device and the vertical wall of the bottle inspection device, the sample is intermittently transported to each inspection position, and the required inspection is performed. In the bottle inspection device of the present invention.

るので。In this way, each bottle inspection machine is linearly accelerated/decelerated or driven by a near motor, so the load applied to each bottle is only the acceleration/deceleration in the linear direction, which was not the case with the conventional star wheel type bottle inspection machine. The load due to centrifugal force is reduced, and
The increased speed increases the speed at which the bottle travels, which in turn reduces the travel time of the bottle. Also, bottles are transferred by each bottle inspection machine.

If the time required for transporting and inspecting the second inspection item is tl, then Δ=tmax-t
The time required for transportation and inspection is reduced by the amount corresponding to .

。(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the bottle inspection device of the present invention, each bottle inspection device is attached to the mover of the linear motor for driving the bottle inspection device, which is attached to the main body of the bottle inspection device, and the mount of the bottle inspection device. The bottle inspection machine is moved to each inspection position linearly arranged by the stator of the linear motor for driving the bottle inspection machine, with intermittent stops. On the other hand, the empty bottles conveyed by the entrance bottle conveyor are passed from the entrance conical screw feeder to the bottle inspection machine that has been circulated before the initial inspection position, and then the bottles on the floor are transferred to the support rollers of the bottle inspection machine. While being held between the bottle inspection device and the vertical wall of the bottle inspection device, the sample is intermittently transported to each inspection position, and the required inspection is performed. In the bottle inspection device of the present invention, each bottle inspection device is driven by a near motor that linearly accelerates and decelerates, so the load applied to the bottle is only linear acceleration and deceleration, which is different from the conventional star wheel. The load caused by centrifugal force on the bottle inspection device has been reduced.

果がある。The speed increases accordingly, the bottle moves faster, and the time it takes to move the bottle becomes shorter. In addition, since the bottles are transferred by each bottle inspection machine, the optimum speed pattern can be set for each inspection item. The time required for transporting and inspecting the item is t Ima Therefore, this point and the shortening of the travel time of the bottle as described above combine to have the effect of improving the inspection speed.
