REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Como se puede observar en la figura 1 , este sistema mecatrónico se ha subdividido en cuatro sistemas que comprenden al menos un cuerpo principal (1 ) donde van ensamblados los actuadores que generan los movimientos principales de elevación, descenso y giro de la máquina, uno o más brazos dosificadores (2) que se encargan de posicionar las mangueras de envasado en los agujeros para alimentación de producto de los contenedores, al menos un colector distribuidor (3) por donde fluye el líquido a envasar y donde van montados los dispositivos electrónicos de medición de volumen, y un sistema de control electrónico y de potencia (4) que cuenta con una pantalla táctil donde se cargan todas las configuraciones y además se encarga de comandar todos los movimientos de la máquina y controlar precisamente el bombeo y envasado del líquido desde la computadora central. Gracias al panel táctil HMI (4.2), el invento es muy fácil de usar. En la Figura 10 se muestra el menú principal y las pantallas a las que se pueden acceder como llenado automático, operación manual y calibración del lote (batch). Si pulsamos el botón de llenado automático ingresaremos a una pantalla donde se seleccionará el tipo de contenedor a envasar como los descritos en las Figuras 13 y Figura 18. Si pulsamos el botón de operación manual podremos controlar de forma manual todos los pistones de la máquina y también la bomba de lóbulos. Si pulsamos el botón de calibración del lote ingresaremos a la tabla de calibración del envasado donde podremos configurar el volumen de pre-cierre y el volumen inercial. En las pantallas de las Figura 13 y Figura 18 se puede adicionalmente, presionando botones en el panel táctil, convenientemente incrementar o disminuir el volumen y velocidad de llenado. As can be seen in Figure 1, this mechatronic system has been subdivided into four systems that comprise at least one main body (1) where the actuators that generate the main movements of lifting, lowering and turning of the machine are assembled, one or more arms metering devices (2) that are in charge of positioning the packaging hoses in the holes for feeding the product in the containers, at least one distributor manifold (3) through which the liquid to be packaged flows and where the electronic volume measurement devices are mounted , and an electronic and power control system (4) that has a touch screen where all the configurations are loaded and is also in charge of commanding all the movements of the machine and precisely controlling the pumping and packaging of the liquid from the central computer . Thanks to the HMI touch panel (4.2), the invention is very easy to use. Figure 10 shows the main menu and the screens that can be accessed such as automatic filling, manual operation and batch calibration. If we press the automatic filling button, we will enter a screen where the type of container to be packaged will be selected, as described in Figures 13 and Figure 18. If we press the manual operation button, we can manually control all the machine's pistons and also the lobe pump. If we press the batch calibration button we will enter the packaging calibration table where we can configure the pre-closing volume and the inertial volume. In the screens of Figure 13 and Figure 18 you can additionally, by pressing buttons on the touch panel, conveniently increase or decrease the volume and speed of filling.
Es muy fácil para limpiar el interior de la máquina utilizando la misma bomba de lóbulos para envasar agua limpia, logrando reducir considerablemente los remanentes de producción que se alojan en el interior de las mangueras de producto. Dado que los volúmenes de llenado pueden ser configurados desde el panel táctil, la misma máquina puede ser usada para llenar distintos tipos de contenedores industriales. Los contenedores para envasar pueden ser alimentados manualmente con montacargas uno a la vez, o en un proceso completamente automático para producción a gran escala utilizando cintas o rodillos transportadores. It is very easy to clean the interior of the machine using the same lobe pump to package clean water, managing to considerably reduce the production remnants that lodge inside the product hoses. Since fill volumes can be configured from the touch panel, the same machine can be used to fill different types of industrial containers. Packaging containers can be fed manually with forklifts one at a time, or in a fully automatic process for large-scale production using conveyor belts or rollers.
Los principales elementos de operación son: • 4 pulsadores con led verde cuya función es posicionar el dosificador dentro de los recipientes para iniciar el envasado. * 2 paradas de emergencia, una local que está instalada en el tablero, y otra remota que se encuentra en uno de los brazos dosificadores cuya función es interrumpir la secuencia automática provocando el apagado de la bomba de lóbulos. · 1 selector On-Off cuya función es encender el tablero de control. The main elements of operation are: • 4 green led pushbuttons whose function is to position the dispenser inside the containers to start packaging. * 2 emergency stops, a local one that is installed in the dash, and a remote one that is located in one of the dosing arms whose function is to interrupt the automatic sequence causing the lobe pump to turn off. · 1 On-Off selector whose function is to turn on the control board.
• 1 panel táctil de 7” cuyas funciones son seleccionar el tipo de contenedor a envasar, configurar los volúmenes a envasar, configurar la velocidad de envasado de la bomba de lóbulos, reiniciar los contadores a cero, operación de los movimientos de elevación/descenso y rotación de la máquina, operación manual de todos los actuadores neumáticos y la bomba de lóbulos y calibración de los volúmenes de pre-corte y los volúmenes inerciales para cada modo de llenado. Ejemplo de aplicación • 1 7 ”touch panel whose functions are to select the type of container to be packaged, to configure the volumes to be packaged, to configure the packaging speed of the lobe pump, to reset the counters to zero, operation of the lifting / lowering movements and machine rotation, manual operation of all pneumatic actuators and lobe pump, and calibration of pre-cut volumes and inertial volumes for each fill mode. Application example
Para entender mejor los ejemplos de aplicación es necesario observar cuales son las dos posiciones de llenado descritos en la Figura 8, así como también el orden correlativo de los brazos dosificadores descritos en la Figura 9. Por último, el menú principal del panel táctil de operación se describe en la Figura 10. To better understand the application examples, it is necessary to observe which are the two filling positions described in Figure 8, as well as the correlative order of the dosing arms described in Figure 9. Finally, the main menu of the operation touch panel It is described in Figure 10.
Ejemplo 1 : Example 1 :
Usando la invención descrita de forma estructurada anteriormente y siguiendo los lineamientos de la invención, se puede envasar un producto químico altamente viscoso (1.4 kg/m3) y abrasivo en los barriles de 55 galones (Figura 1 1 ), que usualmente se paletizan en grupos de 4. Como se puede apreciar en la Figura 12, la máquina permite el envasado continuo de estos tipos de contenedores dispuestos en paletas gracias a su mecanismo de giro de la máquina. Using the invention described in a structured way above and following the guidelines of the invention, a highly viscous (1.4 kg / m3) and abrasive chemical can be packed in 55 gallon barrels (Figure 1 1), which are usually palletized in groups of 4. As can be seen in Figure 12, the machine allows the continuous packaging of these types of containers arranged on pallets thanks to its machine turning mechanism.
El procedimiento para envasar estos contenedores es el siguiente: Iniciar siempre reiniciando los contadores desde el mando de control (Figura 13). Configure los volúmenes a dosificar en cada cilindro desde el mando de control (Figura 13). Pulse el botón de descenso de los brazos dosificadores ubicado en el mando de control (ver Figura 13). Esto posicionará los brazos dosificadores en la posición para iniciar el envasado. Al pulsar el botón de descenso también se iniciará el registro de datos para analizar el comportamiento de envasado. Siempre inicie colocando los brazos #1 y #4, en cualquier orden. Esto es una condición necesaria para iniciar la secuencia de llenado. Se eligen estos brazos ya que son los de mayor longitud y, por lo tanto, fijarlos nos ayudará a manipular los dosificadores que se encuentran en el medio (#2 y #3). Al colocar los brazos #1 y #4 en la posición de envasado, la máquina automáticamente abrirá las válvulas #1 y #4 y a continuación encenderá la bomba de lóbulos a una velocidad de 30 Hz (Configurable). Después de posicionar los brazos dosificadores #1 y # 4, proceda a posicionar los brazos #2 y #3 (indiferente el orden) en la posición de envasado. Al colocar los brazos #2 y #3 en la posición de envasado, la máquina automáticamente abrirá las válvulas #2 y #3 y a continuación aumentará la velocidad de la bomba a 60 Hz (Configurable). Al llegar a los 20 litros antes del volumen configurado se iniciará el pre corte. En esta etapa de la secuencia la válvula #3 se obtura al 75% para disminuir la velocidad de llenado y obtener un envasado más preciso. Este volumen de pre-corte (20 litros) es configurable desde la imagen “Calibración del lote (batch)”. La secuencia automática procede al cierre de las válvulas que hayan alcanzado el volumen configurado a envasar. Una vez alcanzado los volúmenes configurados a envasar, la bomba se apaga y después de un intervalo de tiempo que la última válvula alcanza su valor configurado, se cierra. s Una vez finalizado el envasado, la máquina automáticamente sube los brazos dosificadores para proceder a girar la máquina a la otra posición de envasado y para que puedan embalar, rotular y tapar el contenedor ya envasado. En la Figura 14 se muestran las curvas de envasado volumen (eje vertical medido en litros) versus tiempo (eje horizontal medido en segundos) de este ejemplo de aplicación, en el cual podemos observar que la máquina envasa 4 cilindros de 55 galones (888 litros) en 222 segundos (3 minutos con 42 segundos). The procedure for packaging these containers is as follows: Always start by resetting the counters from the control knob (Figure 13). Set the volumes to be dosed in each cylinder from the control knob (Figure 13). Press the lowering button of the dosing arms located on the control knob (see Figure 13). This will position the dispensing arms in position to start packaging. Pressing the down button will also start data logging to analyze packaging behavior. Always start by placing arms # 1 and # 4, in any order. This is a necessary condition to start the fill sequence. These arms are chosen since they are the longest and, therefore, fixing them will help us to manipulate the dispensers in the middle (# 2 and # 3). By placing arms # 1 and # 4 in the pack position, the machine will automatically open valves # 1 and # 4, and then turn on the lobe pump at a speed of 30 Hz (Configurable). After positioning the dosing arms # 1 and # 4, proceed to position the arms # 2 and # 3 (regardless of the order) in the packaging position. By placing arms # 2 and # 3 in the packed position, the machine will automatically open valves # 2 and # 3 and then increase the pump speed to 60 Hz (Configurable). Upon reaching 20 liters before the configured volume, the pre-cut will start. At this stage in the sequence valve # 3 is closed at 75% to decrease filling speed and obtain more accurate packaging. This pre-cut volume (20 liters) is configurable from the “Calibration of the batch (batch)” image. The automatic sequence closes the valves that have reached the configured volume to be packaged. Once the configured volumes to be packed have been reached, the pump is switched off and after an interval of time when the last valve reaches its configured value, it closes. s Once the packaging is finished, the machine automatically raises the dosing arms to rotate the machine to the other packaging position and so that they can pack, label and cover the container already packed. Figure 14 shows the packaging curves volume (vertical axis measured in liters) versus time (horizontal axis measured in seconds) of this application example, in which we can see that the machine packs 4 cylinders of 55 gallons (888 liters ) in 222 seconds (3 minutes and 42 seconds).
Ejemplo 2: Example 2:
Usando la invención descrita de forma estructurada anteriormente y siguiendo los lineamientos de la invención, se pueden envasar un producto químico altamente viscoso (1.4 kg/m3) y abrasivo en contenedores de 1000 litros conocidos comercialmente como IBC’s (ver Figura 15). Como se puede apreciar en la Figura 16, la máquina permite el envasado continuo de estos tipos de contenedores dispuestos gracias a su mecanismo de giro de la máquina. Este modo de llenado se puede llenar en ambas posiciones (0° y 90°) como las parihuelas. Sin embargo, en cada posición se utilizan dosificadores diferentes. Utilizando para la posición 0° los brazos #1 y #4 (ver figura 16), y para la posición 90° los brazos #2 y #3 (ver Figura 17). El procedimiento para envasar estos contenedores es el siguiente: Iniciar siempre reiniciando los contadores desde el mando de control (Figura 18). Configure los volúmenes a dosificar en cada cilindro desde el mando de control (Figura 18). Pulse el botón de descenso de los brazos dosificadores ubicado en el mando de control (ver Figura 18). Esto posicionará los brazos dosificadores en la posición para iniciar el envasado. Al pulsar el botón de descenso también se iniciará el registro de datos para analizar el comportamiento de envasado. En este modo de llenado se utilizan los dosificadores #2 y #3 o los brazos #1 y #4 dependiendo en qué posición de envasado se encuentre la máquina, en cualquier orden se puede iniciar. Al posicionarse el primer dosificador, la bomba enciende a una velocidad de 30 Hz. Una vez posicionado los dos dosificadores la bomba aumenta la velocidad a 60 Hz. Al llegar a los 20 litros antes del volumen configurado se iniciará el pre corte. En esta etapa de la secuencia la válvula se obtura al 75% para disminuir la velocidad de llenado y obtener un envasado más preciso. Una vez alcanzado los volúmenes configurados a envasar, la bomba se apaga y después de un intervalo de tiempo que la última válvula alcanza su valor configurado, se cierra. s Una vez finalizado el envasado, la máquina automáticamente sube los brazos dosificadores para proceder a girar la máquina a la otra posición de envasado y para que puedan embalar, rotular y tapar el contenedor ya envasado. En la Figura 19 se muestran las curvas de envasado volumen (eje vertical medido en litros) versus tiempo (eje horizontal medido en segundos) de este ejemplo de aplicación, en el cual podemos observar que la máquina envasa 2 IBC’s de 1000 litros (2000 litros en total) en 542 segundos (9 minutos). Using the invention described in a structured way above and following the guidelines of the invention, a highly viscous (1.4 kg / m3) and abrasive chemical can be packaged in 1000 liter containers commercially known as IBC's (see Figure 15). As can be seen in Figure 16, the machine allows the continuous packaging of these types of containers arranged thanks to its machine rotation mechanism. This filling mode can be filled in both positions (0 ° and 90 °) as the stretchers. However, different dosers are used in each position. Using for position 0 ° arms # 1 and # 4 (see figure 16), and for position 90 ° arms # 2 and # 3 (see Figure 17). The procedure for packaging these containers is as follows: Always start by resetting the counters from the control knob (Figure 18). Set the volumes to be dosed in each cylinder from the control knob (Figure 18). Press the lowering button of the dosing arms located on the control knob (see Figure 18). This will position the dispensing arms in position to start packaging. Pressing the down button will also start data logging to analyze packaging behavior. In this filling mode, dosers # 2 and # 3 or arms # 1 and # 4 are used depending on which packaging position the machine is in, in any order it can be started. When the first dispenser is positioned, the pump starts at a speed of 30 Hz. Once the two dispensers are positioned, the pump increases the speed to 60 Hz. Upon reaching 20 liters before the configured volume, the pre-cut will start. At this stage of the sequence the valve is closed at 75% to decrease the filling speed and obtain a more precise packaging. Once the configured volumes to be packed have been reached, the pump is switched off and after an interval of time when the last valve reaches its configured value, it closes. s Once the packaging is finished, the machine automatically raises the dosing arms to rotate the machine to the other packaging position and so that they can pack, label and cover the container already packed. Figure 19 shows the packaging curves volume (vertical axis measured in liters) versus time (horizontal axis measured in seconds) of this application example, in which we can see that the machine packs 2 IBC's of 1000 liters (2000 liters in total) in 542 seconds (9 minutes).
