Abstract
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Detektieren sowie ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Beseitigen fehlerhafter und/oder fehlerhaft positionierter, insbesondere querliegender, Zigaretten im Zigarettenmagazin einer Zigarettenherstellung- bzw. -verpackungsmaschine. Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, die Vermeidung von Störungen im Zigarettenmagazin zu verbessern.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Detect as well as a method and a device for elimination incorrectly and / or incorrectly positioned, in particular transverse, cigarettes in the cigarette magazine one Cigarette manufacturing or packaging machine. The invention the underlying problem is how to avoid interference in the cigarette magazine to improve.
Diese Problem wird dadurch gelöst, daß zum Detektieren mittels eines optischen Prüforgans ein Bild der sich im Zigarettenmagazin befindenden Zigaretten erfaßt, das Bild von einer Bildverarbeitungseinrichtung ausgewertet, und, falls beim Auswerten Abweichungen des erfaßten Bildes von einem Referenzbild bzw. - wert festgestellt werden, ein Fehlersignal erzeugt wird. Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine entsprechende Vorrichtung dafür. Ferner wird das Problem gelöst durch Beseitigen fehlerhafter Zigaretten, wobei in Reaktion auf eine entsprechende Detektion eine im Bereich des Magazins angeordnete Auswurfeinheit betätigt wird zum Auswerfen mehrerer Zigaretten. This problem is solved in that for detection by means of an optical test device, an image of the cigarettes located in the cigarette magazine is recorded, the image is evaluated by an image processing device, and, if deviations of the recorded image from a reference image or value are determined during the evaluation Error signal is generated. The invention also relates to a corresponding device therefor. Furthermore, the problem is solved by removing faulty cigarettes, in response to a corresponding detection an ejection unit arranged in the region of the magazine is actuated to eject several cigarettes.
