Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for attaching a spout to the top of a paper figurine container filled with a liquid such as alcoholic beverage or juice and sealed, when the house-shaped container is oriented in a certain direction. The present invention relates to an alignment detection method for detecting whether or not the objects are aligned.

[Prior art and its problems]

As a container for filling liquids such as sake and juice, there is a container with a spout (3) attached to the top (2) of the paper-shaped house-shaped container (1) for dispensing the liquid as shown in Figure 6. , commonly used.

The above liquid is filled in a heated state, and after being sealed,
After bringing the temperature to room temperature using a cooling means such as a cold shower, and drying the water adhering to the outer periphery, for example, JP-A-58-171323
Using a mounting device as shown in the above issue, a D plug was attached to a portion of the spout on one side of the container.

However, in the drying process after cooling, the container filled with liquid is rotated to remove water droplets on the outside of the container, so the container is not rotated by a certain angle during rotation and the container is oriented in a different direction. , there was a risk that it would be transported in that state.

As a result, when containers are lined up in different directions, there have been accidents in which the eight plugs cannot be attached.

[Problem to be solved]

To obtain an alignment detection method capable of detecting whether the house-shaped containers are lined up in a certain direction and the pressure before attaching the plug, when attaching the spout from the outside to the spout part of a house-shaped container filled with liquid and sealed. It is.

[Means for solving problems]

It was possible to detect whether the direction of the sealing part on the top of the quadrangular container and the stopper # on the top were in the predetermined direction and position using a contact method or a phototube, and by checking the alignment state.

[Effect]

If the top part is misaligned in a predetermined direction, it can be easily detected by a contact-type inspection device, or by a phototube since the spout attachment part has an exposed aluminum foil surface unlike other parts.

〔Example〕

As shown in Fig. 1, hot sake was filled in a geometrical container with a spout attached, and the top was hermetically sealed with sealing part a1.A sealing film having aluminum foil on one inclined surface was adhered to the back surface. The geometric container having the structure is cooled from the outside with a cold water shower in the cooling section αB. Then, during cooling, water droplets attached to the outer surface of the quadrangular container are removed in a drying section (121).
After the quadrangular container is forcibly rotated twice by 90° and further dried with heated air, the alignment condition of the quadrangular container is inspected in inspection part α3, and a °C spout is attached to the next spout attachment part α4, and discharged. It is discharged from section α9.

Here, the inspection section α3 includes a limit switch (1) and a phototube C!, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. υ, a limit switch (2t) tt, a height where the top of the quadrangular container contacts, and a photoelectric voltage V on the slope forming the top.
a1) is provided on an inclined surface opposite to the inclined surface having the spout portion.

In this inspection part (131), when the top of the rectangular container flows at right angles to the flow direction as shown in Fig. 4 mark (b), the top contacts the limit switch;
An anomaly is detected.

Further, regarding the direction of the plug, when the plug is positioned on the phototube side as shown in FIG. 5, an abnormality can be detected by detecting the aluminum foil at the plug using the phototube.

Detection of the direction of the position of the spout can be similarly performed even if the failure to detect the spout is not a normal state, and the failure to detect it is abnormal.

〔effect〕

According to the method of the present invention, it has become possible to prevent the accident of improper attachment of the spout, which conventionally occurred due to visual inspection of containers from poor alignment, before the spout is attached.

In addition, the time required to stop the plug installation work due to incorrect installation of the plug can be shortened, and the work efficiency of the plug installation work has been improved.
