Description

Den foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører en sorteringsanordning for en returmaskin for tomme beholdere i form av panteflasker og eventuelt -bokser, hvilke beholdere transporteres i et innførings- og transportrør hvori det er opprettet en luftstrøm ved hjelp av minst én vifte. The present invention relates to a sorting device for a return machine for empty containers in the form of deposit bottles and possibly boxes, which containers are transported in an introduction and transport pipe in which an air flow is created with the help of at least one fan.

Fra NO patentsøknad nr. 924036 er det kjent en returmaskin av den innledningsvis angitte art, hvor innførings- og transportrøret for beholderne er tilordnet en viftedrevet ejektor som oppretter en beholder-fremførende luftstrøm i innførings- og transportrøret. Nedstrøms ejektoren er innførings- og transportrøret forgrenet og omfatter en separat rørgren for bokser og en separat rørgren for tomme plastflasker, idet det i forgreningspunktet er anordnet en styrt svingbar klaff med i det vesentlige vertikal svinge-akse og som er innrettet til å vekselvis stenge den ene rørgren mens den annen holdes åpen. From NO patent application no. 924036, a return machine of the kind indicated at the outset is known, where the introduction and transport pipe for the containers is assigned to a fan-driven ejector which creates a container-carrying air flow in the introduction and transport pipe. Downstream of the ejector, the introduction and transport pipe is branched and comprises a separate pipe branch for cans and a separate pipe branch for empty plastic bottles, with a controlled pivotable flap with an essentially vertical pivot axis arranged to alternately close it one pipe branch while the other is kept open.

Denne sorteringsanordning nedstrøms ejektoren ved den kjente returmaskin for panteflasker og -bokser har vist seg ikke å fungere tilfredsstillende, hvilket i hovedsak skyldes at de store plastflasker tildeles en større hastighet enn de mindre flasker og således vil ligge tett opp til eventuelle foranliggende småflasker, ende mot ende, slik at nevnte svingbare klaff ikke klarer å slippe den foranliggende mindre flaske forbi uten derved også å gi plass for den etterfølgende store flaske. Man har ved denne kjente returmaskin for panteflasker og -bokser renonsert på sorteringen nedstrøms ejektoren og her samlet flaskene og boksene i en felles beholder for senere manuell sortering. Dette er meget tid- og arbeids-krevende . This sorting device downstream of the ejector at the known return machine for deposit bottles and cans has been shown not to function satisfactorily, which is mainly due to the fact that the large plastic bottles are assigned a greater speed than the smaller bottles and will thus lie close to any small bottles in front, end towards end, so that said pivoting flap is unable to let the smaller bottle in front pass without thereby also making room for the subsequent large bottle. With this well-known return machine for deposit bottles and cans, sorting downstream of the ejector has been dispensed with and here the bottles and cans have been collected in a common container for later manual sorting. This is very time- and labor-intensive.

Formålet med den foreliggende oppfinnelse har derfor vært å skaffe tilveie en sorteringsanordning for en returmaskin av den innledningsvis angitte art som er automatisk virkende og hvormed man kan sortere to eller flere ulike beholderstørrel-ser. Beholderne blir som i og for seg kjent stukket inn i og transportert frem i et innførings- og transportrør, hvori det er opprettet en luftstrøm ved hjelp av minst én vifte. The purpose of the present invention has therefore been to provide a sorting device for a return machine of the kind indicated at the outset, which is automatic and with which two or more different container sizes can be sorted. As is known per se, the containers are inserted into and transported forward in an introduction and transport pipe, in which an air flow is created with the help of at least one fan.

Dette formål er ifølge oppfinnelsen realisert ved at innfø-rings- og transportrøret er forsynt med minst én fortrinnsvis nedadrettet utsparing med en omkretsform og -størrelse som kun tillater passasje av én beholderstørrelse. Avhengig av hvor mange ulike beholderstørrelser som skal sorteres, kan nevnte rør være forsynt med to eller flere fortrinnsvis nedadrettede utsparinger med innbyrdes forskjellig omkretsform/- størrelse hver svarende kun til én beholderstørrelse for å tillate dens utmating fra innførings- og transportrøret. According to the invention, this purpose is realized in that the introduction and transport pipe is provided with at least one preferably downwards recess with a circumferential shape and size that only allows the passage of one container size. Depending on how many different container sizes are to be sorted, said pipe can be provided with two or more preferably downward-facing recesses with mutually different circumferences/sizes each corresponding to only one container size to allow its discharge from the introduction and transport pipe.

Dersom det er anordnet flere slike ulike store utsparinger langs rørets lengde, er den minste utsparing plassert mest oppstrøms i forhold til luftstrømmen i røret, og den største mest nedstrøms. Nedstrøms-utsparingen kan også utgjøres av rørets nedstrøms-endeåpning, som i tilfelle er tilpasset utmating av største beholder, for eksempel i form av en stor plastflaske. If there are several such different large recesses arranged along the length of the pipe, the smallest recess is located most upstream in relation to the air flow in the pipe, and the largest most downstream. The downstream recess can also be made up of the pipe's downstream end opening, which in this case is adapted to the discharge of the largest container, for example in the form of a large plastic bottle.

Ved en foretrukket utførelsesform av en sorteringsanordning for panteflasker og eventuelt -bokser i henhold til den foreliggende oppfinnelse, kan innførings- og transportrøret ved sitt nedstrømsendeparti hvori nevnte utsparing(er) er utformet, munne ut i et lukkbart hus som ved hjelp av én eller flere skillevegger, avhengig av hvor mange beholderstørrelser som skal sorteres, er delt opp i to eller flere kammere, ett In a preferred embodiment of a sorting device for deposit bottles and possibly -boxes according to the present invention, the introduction and transport pipe can at its downstream end part in which said recess(es) are designed, open into a closable housing which by means of one or more partitions, depending on how many container sizes are to be sorted, are divided into two or more chambers, one

for hver beholderstørrelse. for each container size.

I en vegg er anordnet nevnte vifte, som er innrettet til under drift å opprette et undertrykk i huset og dermed en sugevirkning i innførings- og transportrøret for beholderne. In one wall is arranged said fan, which is designed to create a negative pressure in the house during operation and thus a suction effect in the introduction and transport pipe for the containers.

Husets bunn smalner hensiktsmessig av i retning nedover i begge henholdsvis hvert kammer, og hvert kammer kan være tilordnet en svingbar klaff eller bunnluke. Hver klaff er utbalansert ved hjelp av en vinkelarm med et lodd for å holde klaffen i lukket stilling uansett trykk i husets kammere, såfremt det ikke befinner seg beholdere i disse, men hvor klaffene holdes i lukket stilling gjennom undertrykket så lenge viften går. Når det ikke lenger befinner seg beholdere i innførings- og transportrøret, stopper viften, hvorved undertrykket i kammerne utlignes via luft som kommer fra røret. Derved vil vekten av beholdere i hvert kammer svinge tilhørende klaff ned, slik at kammerbunnene åpnes og beholderne faller størrelsessortert ned i en underliggende container eller lignende. The bottom of the housing appropriately tapers downwards in both and each chamber, and each chamber can be assigned a pivotable flap or bottom hatch. Each flap is balanced using an angle arm with a plumb bob to keep the flap in the closed position regardless of the pressure in the house's chambers, provided that there are no containers in them, but where the flaps are held in the closed position through negative pressure as long as the fan is running. When there are no more containers in the introduction and transport pipe, the fan stops, whereby the negative pressure in the chambers is equalized via air coming from the pipe. Thereby, the weight of containers in each chamber will swing the corresponding flap down, so that the chamber bottoms are opened and the containers fall sorted by size into an underlying container or the like.

Returmaskinen ifølge oppfinnelsen kan likesom den foran angitte returmaskin styres av en programmerbar logisk styring som er montert ved beholdernes innføringssted i røret. Det finnes her likeledes en skriver for returlapper. Den logiske styring og tilhørende skriver er ikke gjenstand for den foreliggende oppfinnelse. The return machine according to the invention can, like the previously mentioned return machine, be controlled by a programmable logic control which is mounted at the place where the containers are introduced into the pipe. There is also a printer here for return labels. The logic controller and associated printer are not the subject of the present invention.

Elektronikken virker slik at viften aktiveres og startes ved innføring av en panteflaske i røret og holdes i drift så lenge det befinner seg flasker/bokser i røret. The electronics work so that the fan is activated and started when a deposit bottle is inserted into the pipe and is kept in operation as long as there are bottles/cans in the pipe.

For å sikre korrekt utmating av en bestemt beholderstørrelse ut av tilordnet utsparing i nevnte rør, har det vist seg meget hensiktsmessig like overfor utsparingen å anordne en fleksibel klaff som bremser ned og påvirker vedkommende beholder idet den kommer inn i området for sin tilhørende utsparing i røret. In order to ensure the correct delivery of a specific container size out of the assigned recess in said pipe, it has proven very appropriate to arrange a flexible flap just opposite the recess which slows down and affects the container in question as it enters the area of its associated recess in the pipe .

Et eksempel på en mulig utførelsesform av en sorteringsanordning for en returmaskin ifølge oppfinnelsen forklares nærmere i det etterfølgende under henvisning til tegningene, hvor: Fig. 1 viser et aksialsnitt gjennom de for oppfinnelsen vesentlige deler av en returmaskin for panteflasker og eventuelt -bokser, særlig gjennom returcnaskinens innførings- og transportrør samt sorteringsanordning, under drift. Fig. 2 viser i større målestokk enn i fig. 1 sorteringsanordningen i en tømmestilling. An example of a possible embodiment of a sorting device for a return machine according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings, where: Fig. 1 shows an axial section through the essential parts of a return machine for deposit bottles and possibly -boxes, particularly through the return machine's introduction and transport pipe as well as the sorting device, during operation. Fig. 2 shows on a larger scale than in fig. 1 the sorting device in an emptying position.

På tegningene betegner henvisningstallet 1 en vegg hvortil er tilkoplet en returmaskin for panteflasker og eventuelt In the drawings, the reference number 1 denotes a wall to which a return machine for deposit bottles is connected and possibly

-bokser. -boxer.

I det etterfølgende beskrives returmaskinen slik sorteringsanordningen fungerer ved sortering av to ulike store panteflasker 2 og 3, små eller mellomstore flasker 2 og store flasker 3, for eksempel av plast. Slike plastflasker er ustabile og uegnet for transport i stående stilling. In what follows, the return machine is described as the sorting device works when sorting two different large deposit bottles 2 and 3, small or medium-sized bottles 2 and large bottles 3, for example made of plastic. Such plastic bottles are unstable and unsuitable for transport in an upright position.

For de to flaskestørrelsers 2, 3 innføring i returmaskinen og transport i denne er det på i og for seg kjent måte anordnet et innførings- og transportrør 4, som fra en bekvem innstik-kingshøyde for kunden strekker seg i et krumt forløp slik fig. 1 viser. Det viste bueformede forløp er ikke kritisk for oppfinnelsen, men røret 4 skal prinsippielt strekke seg fra et sted som representerer en bekvem innføringshøyde for panteflasker til et sorteringsnivå som ligger så høyt at sortering, samling og tømming ved fallbevegelse tillates. For the introduction of the two bottle sizes 2, 3 into the return machine and transport in this, an introduction and transport pipe 4 is arranged in a manner known per se, which extends from a convenient insertion height for the customer in a curved course as shown in fig. 1 shows. The arc-shaped course shown is not critical for the invention, but the pipe 4 should in principle extend from a place that represents a convenient insertion height for deposit bottles to a sorting level that is so high that sorting, collection and emptying by falling movement is permitted.

Med et relativt langt endeparti 4<1> munner røret 4 ut i et hus 5 som ved en vertikal skillevegg 6 er delt i to kammere 5' og 5". Dersom flere enn to flaskestørrelser 2, 3 skal sorteres, blir det i huset med skillevegger avgrenset et motsvarende antall atskilte kammere. With a relatively long end section 4<1>, the tube 4 opens into a housing 5 which is divided by a vertical partition 6 into two chambers 5' and 5". If more than two bottle sizes 2, 3 are to be sorted, the housing with partitions delimited a corresponding number of separate chambers.

I husets 5 ene vegg er innmontert en vifte 7 som er innrettet til å opprette et undertrykk i husets 5 indre, hvilket undertrykk forplanter seg til det indre av innførings- og transportrøret 4 for fremmating av flaskene 2 og 3 fra innføringspartiet ved 1 til rørets 4 endeparti 4' som befinner seg inne i huset 5 og følgelig står under det samme undertrykk som dette. In one wall of the housing 5, a fan 7 is installed which is designed to create a negative pressure in the interior of the housing 5, which negative pressure propagates to the interior of the introduction and transport pipe 4 for feeding the bottles 2 and 3 from the introduction part at 1 to the pipe 4 end part 4' which is located inside the housing 5 and is therefore under the same negative pressure as this.

Viften 7 er innrettet til å bli aktivert og igangsatt ved innføring av en flaske i rørets 4 innføringsåpning ved 1 gjennom en programmerbar logisk styring som er skjematisk antydet ved 8. En skriver for pantekvitteringer er likeledes anordnet ved 8. The fan 7 is arranged to be activated and set in motion by the introduction of a bottle into the tube 4's introduction opening at 1 through a programmable logic controller which is schematically indicated at 8. A printer for pledge receipts is likewise arranged at 8.

For sortering av de to ulike flaskestørrelser 2 og 3, er det i rørets 4 endeparti 4', som befinner seg inne i huset 5, utformet i det minste én, i det vesentlige nedadrettet utsparing 4a for minste flaskestørrelse 2. Denne utsparing 4a har en omkretsform og -størrelse som kun tillater passasje av de minste flasker 2. For sorting the two different bottle sizes 2 and 3, in the end part 4' of the tube 4, which is located inside the housing 5, at least one, essentially downwards recess 4a is designed for the smallest bottle size 2. This recess 4a has a circumferential shape and size that only allow passage of the smallest bottles 2.

Like overfor utsparingen 4a er det anordnet en fleksibel klaff 9 som befinner seg i flaskenes 2, 3 fremføringsbane og som er innrettet til å bremse og påvirke småflaskene 2 i området for utsparingen 4a, for derved å sikre at småflaskene 2 forlater røret 4' gjennom tilordnet utsparing 4a. Directly opposite the recess 4a, a flexible flap 9 is arranged which is located in the forward path of the bottles 2, 3 and which is arranged to brake and influence the small bottles 2 in the area of the recess 4a, thereby ensuring that the small bottles 2 leave the tube 4' through the assigned recess 4a.

Ved den viste utførelsesform er det nedstrøms utsparingen 4a, i rørets 4 endeparti 4<1> utformet en ytterligere nedadrettet utsparing 4b for de store flaskene 3, men det er prinsipielt ikke noe i veien for at de store flaskene 3 mates ut gjennom rørets 4,4' endeåpning. In the embodiment shown, downstream of the recess 4a, in the end part 4<1> of the pipe 4, a further downward-directed recess 4b is designed for the large bottles 3, but there is, in principle, nothing to prevent the large bottles 3 being fed out through the pipe's 4, 4' end opening.

Viften 7 er innrettet til rotere så lenge det finnes flasker 2, 3 i røret 4,4'. Utsparingen 4a for de små flaskene 2 er plassert ovenfor det ene kammer 5' i huset 5, og utsparingen 4b for de store flaskene 3 er plassert ovenfor det annet kammer 5" i huset 5. The fan 7 is designed to rotate as long as there are bottles 2, 3 in the tube 4, 4'. The recess 4a for the small bottles 2 is located above one chamber 5' in the housing 5, and the recess 4b for the large bottles 3 is located above the other chamber 5" in the housing 5.

Hvert kammer 5' og 5" er tilordnet en svingbar klaff 10' Each chamber 5' and 5" is assigned a pivotable flap 10'

og 10", idet de horisontale svingeaksene er betegnet med 11' henholdsvis 11". and 10", the horizontal pivot axes being denoted by 11' and 11", respectively.

Hver svingbare klaff 10', 10" bærer en stiv vinkelarm 12' henholdsvis 12" med et lodd 13' henholdsvis 13" for utbalan-sering av respektive klaff 10', 10" i lukket stilling, uten belastning med flaske(r) og uten undertrykk i huset 5, idet selv vekten fra én flaske 2 eller 3 i denne stilling vil kunne svinge respektive klaff 10', 10" til åpen stilling, fig. 2. Under sorteringen/samlingen av flaskene 2 og 3 er det undertrykket i huset 5 som holder de svingbare klaffer 10 10" i lukket posisjon, fig. 1. Each pivotable flap 10', 10" carries a rigid angle arm 12', respectively 12" with a weight 13', respectively 13" for balancing the respective flap 10', 10" in the closed position, without load with bottle(s) and without negative pressure in the housing 5, as even the weight from one bottle 2 or 3 in this position will be able to swing the respective flap 10', 10" to the open position, fig. 2. During the sorting/assembly of the bottles 2 and 3, there is negative pressure in the housing 5 which keeps the pivotable flaps 10 10" in the closed position, fig. 1.

I fig. 1 befinner sorteringsanordningen seg i samletilstand, det vil si at flaskene 2, 3, etter hvert som de sorteres, samles i tilhørende kammer 5', 5". In fig. 1, the sorting device is in a collection state, that is to say that the bottles 2, 3, as they are sorted, are collected in associated chambers 5', 5".

Så snart det ikke finnes flasker i røret 4,4', vil viften 7 deaktiveres og stanse. Derved utlignes husets 5 indre undertrykk, hvorved flaskenes 2 henholdsvis 3 tyngde i de respektive kammere 5', 5" bevirker nedsvingning av klaffene 10', 10", slik at flaskene ved fallvirkning havner i hver sin container 14, 14' eller lignende beholder for borttransport. As soon as there are no bottles in the pipe 4,4', the fan 7 will be deactivated and stop. Thereby, the internal negative pressure of the housing 5 is balanced, whereby the weight of the bottles 2 and 3 in the respective chambers 5', 5" causes the flaps 10', 10" to swing down, so that the bottles end up in their respective containers 14, 14' or similar containers when they fall. removal.

Ved sortering av tre eller flere beholdere etter størrelsen, vil alltid nedadrettet utsparing svarende til utsparingene 4a og 4b for minste beholder befinne seg mest oppstrøms; utsparing for største beholder vil alltid befinne seg mest ned-strøms i transportrøret 4,4', idet oppstrøms/nedstrøms hen-fører seg til den av viften 7 iverksatte luftstrømnings retning i røret 4,4'. When sorting three or more containers according to size, the downward-facing recess corresponding to the recesses 4a and 4b for the smallest container will always be located most upstream; recess for the largest container will always be most downstream in the transport pipe 4,4', as upstream/downstream refers to the direction of air flow in the pipe 4,4' set in motion by the fan 7.
