　振動搬送装置用制御装置１の制御信号生成部１５は、振動搬送装置１００の運転状態データ及び周辺環境データに基づいて、振動搬送装置１００への搬送物Ｍの投入量を算出する。制御信号生成部１５は、前記算出した投入量と、振動搬送装置１００の運転状態データ及び周辺環境データとを用いて、振動搬送装置１００における処理時間を算出し、その処理時間に基づいて、振動発生部１０５で生じさせる振動力に関する制御信号を生成する。 The control signal generation unit 15 of the vibration carrier device control device 1 calculates the amount of the article M to be fed to the vibration carrier device 100 based on the operating state data and the surrounding environment data of the vibration carrier device 100 .

　振動搬送装置１００の場合、搬送物Ｍの種類、搬送物Ｍの処理時間及び搬送物Ｍの排出量の３つの要素によって駆動条件が決まる。すなわち、振動搬送装置１００では、搬送物Ｍを所定時間内に投入量と排出量とが等しくなるように処理することが求められるため、搬送物Ｍを所定時間内で且つ一定品質になるように全数処理することが求められる。よって、制御信号生成部１５は、前記算出した投入量から得られる前記処理時間に基づいて、第１制御信号を生成する。 In the case of the vibration conveying device 100, the drive conditions are determined by three factors: the type of the conveyed article M, the processing time of the conveyed article M, and the discharge amount of the conveyed article M. That is, in the vibration conveying apparatus 100, it is required to process the goods M so that the input amount and the discharge amount of the goods M are equal within a predetermined time. 100% processing is required. Therefore, the control signal generator 15 generates the first control signal based on the processing time obtained from the calculated input amount.

（制御装置の動作）
　次に、上述の構成を有する振動搬送装置用制御装置１の動作について、図３に示すフローを用いて以下で説明する。 (Operation of control device)
Next, the operation of the control device 1 for vibrating carrier devices having the above configuration will be described below using the flow shown in FIG.
　図３に示すフローがスタートすると（ＳＴＡＲＴ）、運転状態データ取得部１１は、運転状態検出部２によって検出された振動搬送装置１００の運転状態に関連する運転状態データを取得する（ステップＳ１）。 When the flow shown in FIG. 3 starts (START), the operating state data acquisition unit 11 acquires operating state data related to the operating state of the vibrating conveyor device 100 detected by the operating state detection unit 2 (step S1).
　周辺環境データ取得部１２は、周辺環境検出部３によって検出された振動搬送装置１００の周辺環境に関連する周辺環境データを取得する（ステップＳ２）。なお、運転状態データ取得部１１による前記運転状態データの取得よりも前に、または、前記運転状態データの取得と同時に、周辺環境データ取得部１２によって前記周辺環境データを取得してもよい。 The surrounding environment data acquisition unit 12 acquires surrounding environment data related to the surrounding environment of the vibration carrier device 100 detected by the surrounding environment detection unit 3 (step S2). The surrounding environment data may be obtained by the surrounding environment data obtaining unit 12 before the driving state data obtaining unit 11 obtains the driving state data or at the same time as the driving state data obtaining unit 11 obtains the driving state data.
　データ比較部１４は、運転状態検出部２によって検出された運転状態データ及び周辺環境検出部３によって検出された周辺環境データと、データ記憶部１３に記憶されているデータとを比較する（ステップＳ３）。 The data comparison unit 14 compares the driving state data detected by the driving state detection unit 2 and the surrounding environment data detected by the surrounding environment detection unit 3 with the data stored in the data storage unit 13 (step S3). ).
　制御信号生成部１５は、振動搬送装置１００の運転状態データ及び周辺環境データに基づいて、第１制御信号を生成する（ステップＳ４）。具体的には、制御信号生成部１５は、振動搬送装置１００の運転状態データ及び周辺環境データに基づいて、振動搬送装置１００への搬送物Ｍの投入量を算出し、算出した投入量から得られる振動搬送装置１００における搬送物Ｍの処理時間に基づいて、前記第１制御信号を生成する。 The control signal generation unit 15 generates a first control signal based on the operating state data and the surrounding environment data of the vibration carrier device 100 (step S4). Specifically, the control signal generator 15 calculates the input amount of the transported article M to the vibrating transport apparatus 100 based on the operating state data and the surrounding environment data of the vibrating transport apparatus 100, and obtains from the calculated input amount. The first control signal is generated based on the processing time of the conveyed article M in the vibrating conveying device 100 that is set.
　制御信号生成部１５は、データ比較部１４によるデータ比較結果に応じて、前記第１制御信号を補正する（ステップＳ５）。すなわち、制御信号生成部１５は、運転状態データ及び周辺環境データを、データ記憶部１３に記憶されているデータに近づけるように、制御信号を生成する（ステップＳ６）。制御信号生成部１５は、例えば、前記運転状態データ及び前記周辺環境データとデータ記憶部１３に記憶されているデータとの差がゼロ、または、所定値以下になるように、前記制御信号を生成する。その後、振動搬送装置用制御装置１は、前記制御信号を振動搬送装置１００に出力して、このフローを終了する（ＥＮ
Ｄ）。 The control signal generator 15 corrects the first control signal according to the data comparison result by the data comparator 14 (step S5). That is, the control signal generator 15 generates a control signal so that the operating state data and the surrounding environment data are brought closer to the data stored in the data storage unit 13 (step S6). The control signal generation unit 15 generates the control signal so that, for example, the difference between the operating state data and the surrounding environment data and the data stored in the data storage unit 13 is zero or is equal to or less than a predetermined value. do. After that, the vibration carrier device control device 1 outputs the control signal to the vibration carrier device 100 and terminates this flow (EN
D).
　ここで、前記周辺環境データが変化すると、例えば振動搬送装置１００の固有振動数が変化する。そのため、制御信号生成部１５は、例えば、固有振動数の変化に合わせて振動搬送装置１００の駆動条件を変更するように運転状態データに対する補正データを生成し、該補正データに基づいて前記制御信号を生成する。データ記憶部１３には、例えば、前記周辺環境データの物理量と振動搬送装置１００の固有振動数の変化量との関係が、テーブルデータや関係式等によって記憶されている。制御信号生成部１５は、前記関係を用いて、前記補正データを生成する。これにより、制御信号生成部１５は、データ記憶部１３
に記憶されているデータに対して、前記運転状態データ及び前記周辺環境データを合わせるように、前記制御信号を生成することができる。 Here, when the ambient environment data changes, for example, the natural frequency of the vibration carrier device 100 changes. Therefore, the control signal generation unit 15 generates correction data for the operating state data so as to change the driving conditions of the vibration carrier device 100 according to changes in the natural frequency, for example, and generates the control signal based on the correction data. to generate The data storage unit 13 stores, for example, the relationship between the physical quantity of the surrounding environment data and the amount of change in the natural frequency of the vibration carrier device 100 in the form of table data, relational expressions, or the like. The control signal generator 15 uses the relationship to generate the correction data. As a result, the control signal generation unit 15 stores the data storage unit 13
The control signal may be generated to match the driving state data and the ambient environment data to data stored in the .
　なお、本実施形態では、制御信号生成部１５は、振動搬送装置１００を駆動制御する制御信号を生成する。しかしながら、制御信号生成部は、搬送物処理システムＳの機器Ｐを駆動制御する制御信号も生成してもよい。 It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the control signal generator 15 generates a control signal for driving and controlling the vibration carrier device 100 . However, the control signal generator may also generate a control signal for driving and controlling the device P of the conveyed object processing system S.

　前記運転状態データは、異常データを含んでいてもよい。前記異常データは、振動搬送装置の通常の運転状態のデータとは異なり、振動搬送装置を駆動する際に異常と判定されるデータを意味する。前記異常データは、振動搬送装置の異常度に関するデータを含んでいてもよいし、異常と判定されたデータを含んでいてもよい。 The operating state data may include abnormal data. The abnormal data means data determined to be abnormal when the vibrating transfer apparatus is driven, unlike the data of the normal operating state of the vibrating transfer apparatus. The abnormality data may include data relating to the degree of abnormality of the vibration carrier, or may include data determined to be abnormal.
　これにより、振動搬送装置の異常も考慮して、振動搬送装置の制御信号を生成することができる。したがって、振動搬送装置の稼働を停止することなく、最適な状態で継続的に駆動制御な振動搬送装置用制御装置１を提供することができる。 As a result, it is possible to generate a control signal for the vibrating carrier in consideration of an abnormality in the vibrating carrier. Therefore, it is possible to provide the control device 1 for the vibrating transfer apparatus that continuously controls the drive in an optimum state without stopping the operation of the vibrating transfer apparatus.
　本発明は、搬送物を搬送する振動搬送装置の駆動を制御する振動搬送装置用制御装置に利用可能である。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used for a control device for a vibrating transport device that controls the drive of a vibrating transport device that transports objects.
