Abstract

PURPOSE:To narrow the standard range of good articles and to enable prevention of mixing defective articles in products by using an average value of weights of a specified number of products which are judged to be good from measurement of the weights conducted just before. CONSTITUTION:The weight of a product is measured, an inspecting is made by an inspecting mechanism as to whether the weight is within a control range or not, and a good article is discriminated from a defective article, so as to exclude the defective article. On the occasion, an average value (moving average value) calculated from the weights of 3 to 20 products which are judged to be good from measurement of the weights conducted just before is used as a numerical value for setting the control range, and the weight of the product is judged to be good or defective according to the control range set by said value. Since the control range for detecting the defective article caused by the weight can be narrowed sharply according to this method, the defective article is prevented from mixing in products to be supplied to the market, or the possibility thereof can be reduced to the minimum.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for detecting defective products in a production line.

[Prior Art] Many products for general consumers produced on factory production lines are packaged individually or as a collection of multiple products and supplied to the market. Therefore, an inspection mechanism is usually installed in the packaging process to distinguish between good and defective products and eliminate defective products. This kind of inspection mechanism has different qualities to be inspected depending on the type of product being produced.
Almost all products are inspected for proper weight.

Weight inspection machines that inspect the weight of products have traditionally used a fixed reference value that takes the standard weight of the product as a reference value and sets an acceptable range or control range for non-defective products based on the variation in the measured weight. method (hereinafter abbreviated as fixed reference method) has been adopted.

However, since this fixed standard method is based on a basic idea or sets a control range using statistical methods assuming an infinite population, if applied as is, the range of acceptable products will be extremely wide. This may result in a large amount of defective products being mixed into the product. In order to avoid such problems, we have set an appropriate control range, taking into account the degree to which good products are rejected and the risk of defective products being mixed in, or if there is variation in product weight, The disadvantage is that it cannot perform a thorough inspection function.

In particular, when the physical properties of raw materials supplied to the manufacturing process that affect the weight of the product are likely to fluctuate, the fixed standard method requires a wide control range or frequently sets standard values manually. This increases the possibility that defective products will be mixed into the product, or requires additional manpower, and if the timing of the control of the reference value is incorrect, there may be mistakes in identifying defective products as non-defective products.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The technical problem of the present invention is to make it possible to narrow the acceptable range (control range) of non-defective products when detecting weight-defective products by measuring weight on a production line. The purpose of this is to prevent or minimize the possibility of defective products being mixed into the product.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] In order to solve the above problem, the defective product detection method of the present invention measures the weight of the product to be produced and determines whether or not the weight is within the control range. When inspected by the inspection mechanism to distinguish between good and defective products and eliminate defective products, the above control range is set based on the weight of 3 to 20 products that were determined to be non-defective by measuring the weight immediately before. The calculated average value (hereinafter referred to as moving average value) is used to determine whether the product weight is good or bad based on the control range set based on the calculated average value.

In the conventional fixed standard method of weight inspection using a fixed standard value, the control range is determined from the weight average value and standard deviation based on the entire data, so the passing range for good products is wide and defective products are It is easy to make mistakes in making products as non-defective products.

On the other hand, the method using the moving average value of the present invention described above changes the standard value for setting the control range in response to changes in raw materials over time, so fluctuations within the normal range (weight fluctuations) ) is incorporated into the standard value, and as a result, the range of weight deviation from the standard value becomes smaller, so the control range is set narrower than in the conventional method, thereby preventing defective products from being mixed into the product. , or reduce the possibility to a minimum.

To explain the method of the present invention in more detail, in the present invention, basically, the weight of the target product is measured immediately before the sequential weight measurement is performed as a reference value for determining the acceptable range of non-defective products. The average value calculated from the weights of a plurality of products determined to be non-defective products, that is, the moving average value, is used to determine whether the product weight is acceptable or defective. The number of samples of non-defective products for determining this moving average value should be at least three. The number of product samples to calculate the average value is 20 based on the degree of contribution of one piece of data, although it varies depending on the weight variations and fluctuations of the target product and raw materials, the packaging type, whether it is one piece or a collection of multiple pieces, etc. The following is sufficient. Especially preferably, it is 3-9. If this number of data is too large, even if a moving average is calculated, the value will be almost constant, and there will be no difference from the conventional fixed reference method.

In addition, in the conventional fixed standard method, the weight average value of the product is taken as the median value, and based on the weight average ± 3σ obtained from the data when calculating the average value, the cause of the weight defect is taken into account and the product is passed. In the present invention, do you have a control band set within the range?
Let r be the weight difference between the two, and let ±r be the control width. Therefore, it is possible to set a narrower control range than in the conventional fixed standard method. In this case, it goes without saying that the above-mentioned acceptable range or the range that complies with the product weight standards, etc.

The scope to which the present invention can be applied is to products that are packaged individually or to products that are packaged together as a product. Is it possible to apply it in some cases? Specific examples include products whose contents are indicated by the number of pieces or each of the contents is small, products whose speed is too fast to visually inspect the contents, or products whose contents cannot be seen from the outside, such as candy. It can be suitably applied to confectionery such as caramel, sanitary products such as sanitary tampons, napkins, and pocket tissues.

In the case of Figure 1, the standard is appropriate for the sample data of the moving average value or product weight, but in Figure 2, the standard is properly tracked for changes in the sample data of the moving average value or product weight. I haven't. However, as mentioned above, depending on the weight variation and fluctuation of the target product and raw materials, the packaging type, whether it is one piece or multiple pieces, etc., the moving average value of 20 product weights is used. In some cases, this can also be used as an appropriate standard for sample data of product weight.
