Description

本発明の目的は、タバコ産業に用いられるトレー又は中間貯蔵部内における棒状物品の正確な配置位置を確認すると同時に棒状部品の配置を修正する方法、並びに、トレー又は中間貯蔵部内における棒状物品の正確な配置位置の確認及び棒状部品の前面の整列を可能にする装置を提供することにある。   The object of the present invention is to confirm the exact position of the rod-shaped article in the tray or intermediate storage used in the tobacco industry and at the same time to correct the arrangement of the rod-shaped article, and to accurately identify the rod-shaped article in the tray or intermediate storage. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that enables confirmation of an arrangement position and alignment of the front surface of a bar-shaped part.

タバコ（紙巻きタバコ）又は葉巻を製造機械から包装機械まで運搬すると共に製造プロセスにおいてフィルタの輸送及び／又は一時的貯蔵を行うように構成されたトレーが、タバコ産業においてしばしば用いられる。従来のトレーは、前壁及び頂壁のない直方体の形をしている。さらに、内部が垂直内壁によってセグメントの状態に分割されるマルチセグメント型のトレーが知られている。かかるトレーは、特許文献１（独国実用新案登録第１，９１５，４４６号明細書）に開示されている。タバコ産業の生産ラインにおいて、従来のトレー又はセグメント型のトレーを降ろすように構成された中間貯蔵部が用いられる。かかる貯蔵部の１つが本発明の権利者の特許文献２（欧州特許出願公開第２，０７９，３２７（Ａ１）号明細書）に記載されており、この場合、棒状物品は、トレーから、垂直分割壁によって互いに分離された多数のセグメントに送られ、次に、貯蔵部のベースのところに形成された喉部を通り、セグメントは、互いに別個独立に排出され、すなわち、空にされ、この場合、中間貯蔵部と喉部を備えたベースの両方は、互いに別個独立に、受取りコンベヤに沿って往復動を行い、それにより連続して位置するセグメントと喉部の出会いを可能にし、セグメントを空にする順序をコンベヤ上で物品を受取る方向とは逆である。これら物品を、シュートを介してコンベヤ上に送り、シュートは、喉部に永続的に連結されており、中間貯蔵部のセグメントの水平区分の表面積に一致した表面積の喉部は、１つの連続したセグメントからそのたびごとに物品を受取り、セグメントが完全に空になったことは、センサによってモニタされる。生産上の慣例では、トレー充填ユニットがつかえて動かなくなることがあり、その結果、セグメントの必ずしも全てが棒状物品で正確に満たされるわけではない。同様に、中間貯蔵部を空にしたとき、棒状物品の配置状態が崩れ、その結果、棒状物品が浮いてしまい、実際、空にするプロセスが妨害される。かかる場合、生産プロセスは、不揃いを除くためにできるだけ迅速に中断されなければならず、不揃いの検出のため、トレー又は貯蔵部の種々の場所にセンサが配置されている。特許文献３（米国特許出願公開第２００８／０１８１７５４号明細書）では、トレー、特にマルチセグメント型のトレーを降ろす装置が提供されており、この場合、数がセグメントの数に一致した逆さまのトレーの底部上に位置するセンサが用いられ、トレーの底部には、センサの作動軸線に孔が設けられ、トレーの空になった状態は、これら孔を介してチェックされる。別の特許文献４（米国特許出願公開第２００８／０２１３０７２号明細書）では、マルチセグメント型のトレーを降ろす装置が提供されており、この場合、数がセグメントの数に一致した棒状物品に対して軸線方向に配置されたセンサが用いられ、センサは、トレーの逆転後、トレーの底部に１つの列をなして配置されている。他方、特許文献５（国際公開第２００８／１１０３９０号パンフレット）には、棒状物品のトレーを空にする降ろし貯蔵部が示されており、変形例として、上述の特許文献３（米国特許出願公開第２００８／０１８１７５４号明細書）に記載されているように配置されたセンサとは別に、トレーの中央部分に２つの列、即ち、低い列と高い列をなして棒状物品に対し軸方向に配置されたセンサの使用も又提供されており、トレーの各セグメントには２つのセンサが割り当てられている。特許文献６（米国特許第７，６０９，３９３号明細書）は、棒状物品の上側の層又は棒状物品の側方の層をチェックすると共にレーザによってトレーを空にした後に従来のトレーを制御するスキャナによって従来のトレー内における棒状物品の配置の正確さを制御する方法及び装置を示している。特許文献７（独国特許第１，０６６，１１８号明細書）から、従来のトレーにタバコを充填する装置が知られており、この場合、単一コンパートメント型のトレーの内側は、充填前には、充填時間の間、垂直に配置されている自動整列仕切り壁によってキャビティに分割されている。完全な充填後、満杯のトレーのためにコンベヤ上に取っておき、トレーを取っている間、仕切り壁をトレーの内側から取外し、垂直キャビティ内に堆積させたタバコを一緒にする。仕切り壁の取外しの際のタバコの軸方向シフトを阻止するため、往復動を行うプッシャによってトレーを受入れステーションまで運び、装置の仕切り壁に対応した垂直溝を備えているトレーの前面に対応した面積の垂直壁がプッシャに取付けられている。技術の現状において、タバコ産業の生産ラインに用いられているトレー又は中間貯蔵部内における棒状物品の充填の制御とこれらの配置位置の修正の両方を可能にする手段は知られていない。   Trays configured to transport tobacco (cigarettes) or cigars from a manufacturing machine to a packaging machine and to transport and / or temporarily store filters in the manufacturing process are often used in the tobacco industry. A conventional tray has a rectangular parallelepiped shape without a front wall and a top wall. Furthermore, a multi-segment tray is known in which the interior is divided into segments by a vertical inner wall. Such a tray is disclosed in Patent Document 1 (German Utility Model Registration No. 1,915,446). In the tobacco industry production line, an intermediate storage is used that is configured to lower conventional trays or segmented trays. One such storage is described in the patentee 2 (European Patent Application Publication No. 2,079,327 (A1)) of the right holder of the present invention, in which case the bar-shaped article is placed vertically from the tray. Sent to a number of segments separated from each other by the dividing wall, then through the throat formed at the base of the reservoir, the segments are discharged independently of each other, i.e. emptied, in this case Both the intermediate storage and the base with the throat reciprocate along the receiving conveyor, independently of each other, thereby allowing the throat to meet the segment located in succession. This order is the opposite of the direction in which the articles are received on the conveyor. These articles are fed through a chute onto a conveyor, the chute is permanently connected to the throat, and the throat with a surface area corresponding to the surface area of the horizontal section of the intermediate storage segment is one continuous. Each time an item is received from the segment, it is monitored by the sensor that the segment is completely emptied. In production practice, the tray filling unit may become jammed and, as a result, not all of the segments are exactly filled with rod-like articles. Similarly, when the intermediate storage part is emptied, the arrangement of the bar-shaped articles collapses, and as a result, the bar-shaped articles float, which actually hinders the emptying process. In such a case, the production process must be interrupted as quickly as possible to eliminate irregularities, and sensors are located at various locations on the tray or reservoir for detection of irregularities. US Patent Application Publication No. 2008/0181754 provides an apparatus for lowering trays, particularly multi-segment trays, in which case the number of upside-down trays whose number matches the number of segments is provided. A sensor located on the bottom is used, and a hole is provided in the operating axis of the sensor at the bottom of the tray, and the empty state of the tray is checked through these holes. In another patent document 4 (US Patent Application Publication No. 2008/0213072), an apparatus for lowering a multi-segment tray is provided. In this case, for a bar-shaped article whose number corresponds to the number of segments. An axially arranged sensor is used, and the sensors are arranged in a row at the bottom of the tray after the tray is reversed. On the other hand, Patent Document 5 (International Publication No. 2008/110390 pamphlet) shows a lowering storage unit for emptying a tray of a rod-shaped article. As a modified example, Patent Document 3 (US Patent Application Publication No. Apart from the sensors arranged as described in 2008/0181754), the central part of the tray is arranged axially with respect to the rod-shaped article in two rows, namely a low row and a high row. The use of separate sensors is also provided, with two sensors assigned to each segment of the tray. U.S. Pat. No. 7,609,393 checks the upper layer of a rod-like article or the side layer of a rod-like article and controls a conventional tray after the tray is emptied by a laser. 2 illustrates a method and apparatus for controlling the accuracy of the placement of rod-shaped articles in a conventional tray by a scanner. From US Pat. No. 6,066,118 a device for filling tobacco in a conventional tray is known, in which case the inside of a single compartment tray is placed before filling. Are divided into cavities by means of self-aligning partitions arranged vertically during the filling time. After full filling, set aside on a conveyor for a full tray, and while removing the tray, remove the partition wall from the inside of the tray and combine the tobacco deposited in the vertical cavity. In order to prevent the tobacco from shifting in the axial direction when the partition wall is removed, the tray is transported to the receiving station by a reciprocating pusher, and the area corresponding to the front surface of the tray having a vertical groove corresponding to the partition wall of the device The vertical wall is attached to the pusher. In the state of the art, no means are known that allow both the control of the filling of rod-shaped articles in the trays or intermediate storage used in the tobacco industry production line and the modification of their position.

本発明によれば、タバコ産業の生産ラインに用いられるトレー又は中間貯蔵部内への棒状物品の配置位置を確認すると共に修正する方法であって、棒状物品の配置位置の確認を、センサによって行い、棒状物品の配置位置の修正を、複数の棒状物品の端面を一平面に整列させることよって行い、棒状物品の配置位置の確認と棒状物品の配置位置の修正を、センサを備えた１つの整列装置によって同時に行う方法が提供され、センサは、棒状物品の正確な充填及び／又は配置を検出し、整列装置は、トレー又は中間貯蔵部の内側を正確に満たした不空物品の端面を一平面に揃える。かかる方法により、充填中のトレーが、物品の配置を確認し且つ修正するようにし、それにより、トレーを降ろす工程は、物品の前面の不適切な配置によって妨害されなくなる。棒状物品の不正確な充填及び／又は配置がセンサによって検出されたら、整列装置をオフに切換え、整列装置が取付けられているユニットの作動を中断する。このように、後で不合格品として生産からはねられるトレーへの物品の流れが中断され、それにより、生産から不合格品としてはねられる十分に価値のある棒状物品の数が制限される。その理由は、不適切に充填されたトレーの各々が生産ラインから取外されるからである。これは、平均でトレーが各々４０００個の物品を収容する最新式の生産ラインでは、特に重要であり、生産出力は、毎分１６０００本を超える物品に達し、したがって、１つのトレーの積込み又は排出のサイクルは、約１５秒続く。上述の情報は、中間貯蔵部に同様に当てはまる。   According to the present invention, there is a method for confirming and correcting the arrangement position of a bar-shaped article in a tray or an intermediate storage unit used in a production line of the tobacco industry, wherein the position of the bar-shaped article is confirmed by a sensor, The alignment position of the rod-shaped article is corrected by aligning the end surfaces of the plurality of rod-shaped articles on a single plane, and the alignment position of the rod-shaped article is confirmed and the arrangement position of the rod-shaped article is corrected by one alignment device provided with a sensor. Provides a simultaneous method, wherein the sensor detects the exact filling and / or placement of the rod-shaped article, and the aligner aligns the end face of the empty article that exactly fills the inside of the tray or intermediate reservoir. Align. Such a method allows the filling tray to confirm and correct the placement of the article so that the process of lowering the tray is not hindered by improper placement of the front of the article. If inaccurate filling and / or placement of the rod-like article is detected by the sensor, the alignment device is switched off and the operation of the unit to which the alignment device is attached is interrupted. In this way, the flow of articles to a tray that is later rejected from production as rejects is interrupted, thereby limiting the number of sufficiently valuable bar-like articles that are rejected from production as rejects. . The reason is that each improperly filled tray is removed from the production line. This is particularly important in modern production lines where each tray contains 4000 articles on average, and the production output reaches over 16,000 articles per minute, thus loading or discharging one tray. This cycle lasts about 15 seconds. The above information applies to the intermediate store as well.

本発明の要旨は又、棒状物品の正確な配置位置を確認し、及び、タバコ産業の生産ラインに用いられるトレー又は中間貯蔵部内における棒状物品の前面の整列を可能にする装置であって、上記確認は、トレー又は中間貯蔵部の充填レベルを制御するセンサによって行われ、上記整列は、複数の棒状物品の軸線方向のずれを複数の棒状物品の端面を一平面に整列させることによって行う装置の構造にある。本発明によれば、整列装置は、棒状物品の端面に接触するプレートを有し、プレートは、トレー又は中間貯蔵部の充填を制御するのに役立つ少なくとも１つのセンサを有している。プレートは、多数のプッシャを有し、プッシャの数は、マルチセグメント型のトレー又は中間貯蔵部のセグメントの数と一致し、プッシャ間の隙間は、セグメント間の仕切りの厚さに一致し、少なくとも１つのセンサが、各プッシャに取付けられるのがよい。センサは、可視放射線又は不可視放射線の範囲で作動する光学素子で構成されるのがよく、変形例として、超音波素子で構成されてもよい。単一のコンパートメントを有する従来のトレー又は中間貯蔵部が用いられる場合、上記隙間をなくす可動ゲートがプッシャ間に配置される。本発明の装置の利点は、トレー又は中間貯蔵部に棒状物品を正確に充填したかどうかをチェックでき、それと同時に、物品の１つの層全体の前面を一平面に整列させることにあり、配置又は充填における不揃いが検出された場合、充填又は排出の作業を中断して、トレー又は中間貯蔵部を生産ラインから取外すことができる。   The gist of the present invention is also an apparatus for confirming the correct position of a bar-shaped article and for aligning the front surface of the bar-shaped article in a tray or intermediate storage used in the tobacco industry production line, which is described above. The confirmation is performed by a sensor for controlling the filling level of the tray or the intermediate storage unit, and the alignment is performed by aligning the end faces of the plurality of bar-shaped articles in a single plane. In the structure. According to the invention, the alignment device has a plate that contacts the end face of the bar-like article, and the plate has at least one sensor that serves to control the filling of the tray or intermediate reservoir. The plate has a number of pushers, the number of pushers matches the number of segments in a multi-segment tray or intermediate storage, the gap between the pushers matches the thickness of the partition between the segments, and at least One sensor may be attached to each pusher. The sensor may be composed of an optical element that operates in the range of visible radiation or invisible radiation, and may alternatively be composed of an ultrasonic element. When a conventional tray or intermediate reservoir with a single compartment is used, a movable gate that eliminates the gap is placed between the pushers. The advantage of the device according to the invention is that it can check whether the tray or intermediate storage has been correctly filled with the rod-shaped article, and at the same time align the front of the entire layer of the article in one plane, If an irregularity in filling is detected, the filling or discharging operation can be interrupted and the tray or intermediate storage can be removed from the production line.
