Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Messkörper zum Erkennen von Störquellen innerhalb eines Leitungssystems für Tabak verarbeitende Produkte zwischen einer Sendervorrichtung und einer Empfängervornchtung.The invention relates to a measuring body for detecting sources of interference within a conduit system for tobacco-processing products between a transmitter device and a receiver device.
Bei der Herstellung von Produkten der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie werden insbesondere Zwischenprodukte, wie z.B. Filter, Filterstäbe oder andere stabförmige Produkte von einer Sendervorrichtung, dem so genannten Sender, zu einer Empfängervorrichtung, dem so genannten Empfänger, gefördert. Die Förderung erfolgt üblicherweise über ein (Rohr-)Leitungssystem. Anders ausgedrückt sind Sendeeinheiten des Senders über Förderleitungen mit dem Empfänger verbunden. Innerhalb der Förderleitungen werden die Produkte längsaxial mittels einer pneumatischen Steuereinrichtung gefördert. Genauer werden die Produkte im Bereich des Senders in Richtung des Empfängers abgeschossen.In the manufacture of tobacco industry products, in particular, intermediates, e.g. Filter, filter rods or other rod-shaped products from a transmitter device, the so-called transmitter, to a receiver device, the so-called receiver, promoted. The promotion usually takes place via a (pipe) pipe system. In other words, transmitting units of the transmitter are connected via delivery lines to the receiver. Within the delivery lines, the products are conveyed longitudinally by means of a pneumatic control device. More specifically, the products are fired in the area of the transmitter in the direction of the receiver.
Solche Förderleitungen bzw. Rohrleitungssysteme bestehen aus einer Vielzahl von Rohrsegmenten, die miteinander verbunden werden. Die teilweise mehrere hundert Meter langen Förderleitungen weisen daher viele Verbindungsstellen auf, die potentielle Störquellen für die durch die Förderleitungen zu fördernden Produkte darstellen. Zum einen können ungenügende bzw. fehlerhafte Verbindungsstellen oder andere Beschädigungen der Förderleitungen dazu führen, dass die Produkte so stark abgebremst werden, dass sie verzögert am Empfänger ankommen oder sogar die Förderleitung verstopfen. Zum anderen können fehlerhafte Verbindungsstellen und Beschädigungen der Förderleitungen die Produkte selbst beschädigen, wodurch der Produktionsfluss unterbrochen ist.Such delivery lines or piping systems consist of a plurality of pipe segments which are interconnected. The delivery lines, some of which are several hundred meters long, therefore have many connection points which represent potential sources of interference for the products to be conveyed through the delivery lines. On the one hand, insufficient or incorrect connection points or other damage to the delivery lines can cause the products to decelerate so much that they arrive at the receiver with a delay or even clog the delivery line. On the other hand, faulty joints and damage to the delivery lines can damage the products themselves, thus interrupting the production flow.
Um solche Störquellen oder Beschädigungen festzustellen, ist es in der Praxis üblich und notwendig, zur Fehlersuche den Betrieb der Produktion zu unterbrechen, um die Förderleitungen einzeln visuell zu inspizieren. Eine solche Fehlersuche ist zeitaufwendig und teuer.In order to detect such sources of interference or damage, it is common practice and necessary to interrupt the operation of the production for troubleshooting in order to inspect the delivery lines individually visually. Such troubleshooting is time consuming and expensive.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum zuverlässigen und schnellen Erkennen von Störquellen in Förderleitungen für stabförmige Produkte der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie vorzuschlagen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for reliable and rapid detection of sources of interference in delivery lines for rod-shaped products of the tobacco-processing industry.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen eingangs genannten Messkörper gelöst, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass der Messkörper einen stabförmigen Grundkörper umfasst, wobei innerhalb des mindestens teilweise hohl ausgebildeten Grundkörpers ein Messelement angeordnet ist. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Messkörpers ist dieser geeignet, durch das Leitungssystem hindurch bewegt zu werden. Mittels des Messelementes ist gewährleistet, dass die Störquellen/Störstellen von innen erkannt werden können. Damit ist eine schnelle und einfache Erkennung von Störquellen sowohl während des Betriebs als auch bei der Inbetriebnahme von Vorrichtungen/Leitungen zum Fördern von Produkten der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie sichergestellt.This object is achieved by a measuring body mentioned at the beginning, which is characterized in that the measuring body comprises a rod-shaped main body, wherein within the at least partially hollow base body, a measuring element is arranged. Due to the inventive design of the measuring body this is suitable to be moved through the conduit system. By means of the measuring element ensures that the sources of interference / impurities can be detected from the inside. This ensures a quick and easy detection of sources of interference both during operation and during the commissioning of devices / lines for conveying products of the tobacco processing industry.
Vorzugsweise sind dem Grundkörper ein Kopfstück und Endstück zugeordnet. Dadurch wird eine dem eigentlich zu fördernden Produkt ähnelnde Gestalt/Form erreicht, so dass eine exaktere Messung erreichbar ist.Preferably, the main body is associated with a head piece and tail. This achieves a shape / shape that is similar to the actual product to be conveyed, so that a more accurate measurement can be achieved.
Eine zweckmäßige Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sowohl das Kopfstück als auch das Endstück aus einem Filterstück aus Celluloseacetat oder dergleichen gebildet sind. Anders ausgedrückt ist der Grundkörper mit dem Messelement sandwichartig zwischen zwei flexiblen Filterstücken angeordnet, so dass der Messkörper den Verlauf der Rohrleitungen einschließlich der Kurven besonders gut "nachfahren" kann.An expedient development of the invention is characterized in that both the head piece and the end piece are formed from a filter piece of cellulose acetate or the like. In other words, the main body with the measuring element is sandwiched between two flexible filter pieces, so that the measuring body can "trace" the course of the pipelines including the curves particularly well.
Vorteilhafterweise ist das Messelement ein Beschleunigungssensor. Dadurch können insbesondere der Betrag und das zeitliche Auftreten der Beschleunigungen und Verzögerungen jeder Art aufgenommen werden, wodurch sich die Position der Störstelle/Fehlerquelle bestimmen lässt.Advantageously, the measuring element is an acceleration sensor. As a result, in particular the amount and the temporal occurrence of the accelerations and Delays of any kind are recorded, whereby the position of the defect / error source can be determined.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Messkörper zum Anschluss an eine Auswerteeinheit ausgebildet und eingerichtet ist. Damit kann der Messkörper direkt nach der Entnahme aus dem Rohrleitungssystem im Bereich des Empfängers an einen Personal-Computer (PC), ein Laptop oder eine vergleichbare Auswerteeinheit angeschlossen und ausgewertet werden, so dass eine zeitnahe Behebung der Störquelle erfolgen kann.A particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that the measuring body is designed and set up for connection to an evaluation unit. Thus, the measuring body can be connected and evaluated directly after removal from the piping system in the area of the receiver to a personal computer (PC), a laptop or a comparable evaluation, so that a timely remedy the source of interference can take place.
Weitere vorteilhafte und/oder zweckmäßige Merkmale und Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie der Beschreibung. Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigt:

Fig. 1 a perspective view of a measuring body according to the invention.
Das im Folgenden beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel dient zum Erkennen von Störquellen innerhalb eines Leitungssystems für Filterstäbe zwischen einer Filtersendevorrichtung (Sender) und einer Empfängervorrichtung (Empfänger). Selbstverständlich ist der beschriebene Messkörper auch zum Erkennen von Störquellen in Leitungssystemen für andere Produkte der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie geeignet.The embodiment described below is used to detect sources of interference within a conduit system for filter rods between a filter sending device (transmitter) and a receiver device (receiver). Of course, the measuring body described is also suitable for detecting sources of interference in piping systems for other products of the tobacco processing industry.

Optional sind dem Grundkörper 11 jedoch ein Kopfstück 13 und ein Endstück 14 zugeordnet, wobei die Zuordnung Kopf- und End- beliebig ist. Vorzugsweise sind sowohl das Kopfstück 13 als auch das Endstück 14 aus einem Filterstück aus Celluloseacetat oder einem vergleichbaren Material gebildet. Selbstverständlich kann die Ausbildung und Zusammensetzung von Kopfstück 13 und/oder Endstück 14 variieren. Die äußeren Abmessungen der aus Grundkörper 11, Kopfstück 13 und Endstück 14 gebildeten Einheit entsprechen etwa den Abmessungen der tatsächlich jeweils innerhalb des Leitungssystems zu fördernden Produkte, nämlich insbesondere den Abmessungen von Filterstäben. Bevorzugt beträgt der Durchmesser des Messkörpers 11 etwa 7 bis 9mm und besonders bevorzugt 7,8mm. Die Länge des Grundkörpers 11 beträgt bevorzugt 70 bis 80mm und besonders bevorzugt 75mm. Das Kopfstück 13 und das Endstück 14 sind jeweils bevorzugt etwa 30 bis 35mm und besonders etwa 32,5mm lang, so dass sich für den Messkörper 11 eine besonders bevorzugte Gesamtlänge von etwa 140mm ergibt. Damit entspricht der Messkörper 11 in der Form einem üblichen Filterstab. Selbstverständlich sind andere Abmessungen in Durchmesser und Länge möglich.Optionally, however, a
Das Messelement 12 ist in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform ein Beschleunigungssensor. Der Beschleunigungssensor ist auf einer Platine 15 oder dergleichen angeordnet. Der Platine 15 können weitere Mess- und/oder Steuerungselemente 16 zugeordnet sein. Insbesondere können der Platine 15 auch Speicherelemente und dergleichen zugeordnet sein. Der Beschleunigungssensor oder vergleichbare Messelemente sind insbesondere zur Erkennung von auf den Messkörper 10 einwirkender Kräfte und/oder positiver und negativer Beschleunigungen ausgebildet und eingerichtet.The
Der Messkörper 10 ist zum Anschluss an eine (nicht dargestellte) Auswerteeinheit ausgebildet und eingerichtet. Dazu kann der Messkörper 10 einen (nicht explizit dargstellten) Stecker und/oder eine Buchse aufweisen. Andere Möglichkeiten der Datenübertragung, insbesondere auch über Funksignale sind ebenfalls möglich. Der Messkörper 10 ist kabellos ausgebildet. Das bedeutet, dass die Aktivierung des Messkörpers 10, das Messen selbst und das Fördern des Messkörpers 10 durch das Leitungssystem frei von Versorgungs- und/oder Steuerungs- und/oder Signalleitungen erfolgt.The
Neben der Erkennung von Stör- bzw. Fehlerstellen am bzw. im Rohrleitungssystem kann der Messkörper 10 auch zu Zwecken der Analyse des eigentlichen Abschussvorgangs im Bereich des Senders und/oder des Bremsvorgangs im Bereich des Empfängers eingesetzt werden. Des Weiteren können mit dem Messkörper 10 auch andere Parameter, wie z.B. Einflüsse durch Entlüftungen oder dergleichen gemessen und ausgewertet werden. Zu diesem Zweck können alternativ oder kumulativ weitere Sensoren, Sonden oder dergleichen innerhalb des Grundkörpers 11 angeordnet sein.In addition to the detection of faulty or faulty locations on or in the pipeline system, the
Das Messprinzip mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Messkörper 11 erfolgt wie im Folgenden beschrieben:
- Der
Messkörper 10 wird wie ein normaler Filterstab im Bereich des Senders abgeschossen. Vor dem Einlegen in die Sendestation des Senders wird derMesskörper 10 bzw. genauer dasMesselement 12 aktiviert. Entsprechendes gilt für die notwendigen Speicher- und Programmbausteine sowie alle anderen an der Erkennung beteiligten Komponenten. Während der Förderung desMesskörpers 10 durch das Leitungssystem werden die auf denMesskörper 10 wirkenden Beschleunigungen aufgezeichnet.Nachdem der Messkörper 10 beim Empfänger angekommen und entnommen worden ist, wird der Messkörper 10 an eine Auswerteeinheit angeschlossen und die Messdaten werden ausgewertet. Eine Verbindungsstelle innerhalb des Leitungssystems bremst z.B.den Messkörper 10. Der Betrag und das zeitliche Auftreten solcher Verzögerungen werden aufgenommen. Entsprechendes gilt für Querbeschleunigungen. Hohe Querbeschleunigungen deuten z.B. auf einen Kurvenverlauf des Leitungssystems hin. Aus der Gesamtheit der aufgenommenen/aufgezeichneten Informationen lässt sich die Position der Störquelle mit geringem Aufwand und zuverlässig bestimmen und entsprechend abstellen.
- The measuring
body 10 is fired like a normal filter rod in the area of the transmitter. Before being placed in the transmitting station of the transmitter, the measuringbody 10 or more precisely the measuringelement 12 is activated. The same applies to the necessary memory and program blocks as well as all other components involved in the detection. During the conveyance of the measuringbody 10 through the conduit system, the accelerations acting on the measuringbody 10 are recorded. After the measuringbody 10 has arrived at the receiver and removed, the measuringbody 10 is connected to an evaluation unit and the measured data are evaluated. A connection point within the line system brakes, for example, the measuringbody 10. The amount and the temporal occurrence of such delays are recorded. The same applies to lateral accelerations. High lateral accelerations indicate, for example, a curve of the pipeline system. From the entirety of the recorded / recorded information, the position of the source of interference can be determined with little effort and reliably and adjusted accordingly.
