Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the constitution and to omit complicated data processing, by arranging size detecting means, wherein pairs of light projecting elements and light receiving elements are provided so as to face each other in each of the means, in the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction of a product conveying path, and measuring the width and the height of the product. CONSTITUTION:In a height detector 100, light projecting elements 102a,... such as light emitting diodes are arranged on an arm 101a of a frame 101, and light receiving elements 103a,... such as phototransistors are arranged on an arm 101b. Thus a light projecting part and a light receiving part are formed. The detected signal, which is outputted from an output scanning circuit 104b is counted by a counter circuit 107. The counted result of one scanning in the closest vicinity is held in a holding circuit 108. The counted value is the number of the shielded light receiving elements and proportional to the height of a conveyed product 1. A width detector 200 has the same constitution as that of the height detector 100. A number-of-rotation measuring device 300 detects the number of rotation of a driving roller 4 and measures the length of the conveyed product 1. The signals from the height detector 100, the width detector 200 and the number-of- rotation measuring device 300 are inputted into a volume operating device, and the volume of the conveyed product 1 are operated.

In order to reduce the influence of vibration etc. as a height detector and a width detector, the dimension detection means configured in a frame body in the shape of a letter is shown. However, the shape of the frame body of the dimension detection means can be arbitrary. be. The dimension detection means includes a light projecting section in which light projecting elements are arranged in a line at predetermined intervals, and a light receiving section in which light receiving elements are arranged in a manner corresponding to each light projecting element of the light projecting section, which are arranged facing each other. A synchronization control means for sequentially operating the light emitting element and the light receiving element as a pair and a dividing means for counting the number of operated light receiving elements are provided, and the dimensions of each part are applied to the number of operated light receiving elements.
It is characterized by the fact that it is pressed so that it can hold 111 points.1)
In this configuration 1, if there is no interference of light between the light projecting elements and accurate cross-sectional dimensions of the target object can be measured, a digital signal suitable for digital processing can be output.

Also, although the height detector and width detector are shown in different locations on the belt conveyor, it goes without saying that they may be located in the same location, and it is preferable to place them in the same location from a data processing perspective. . We have given an example of a case where there is only one delivered item between the height detector and the width detector, where data processing is easy and it is easy to deal with abnormalities such as conveyor stoppage, but data processing etc. are somewhat complicated. However, it can be easily applied even when there are multiple items. Although the island size detector is shown arranged upstream of the width detector, the order can be arbitrary.

As described above, in the present invention, a dimension detector in which a light projecting part in which light projecting elements are arranged and a light receiving part in which light receiving elements are arranged so as to correspond to the light projecting elements are arranged facing each other is installed in the vertical direction of the article transport path. Since the height and width of the article can be measured by placing it horizontally, the maximum width and height can be accurately measured regardless of the shape of the article, and the accuracy of needles can be improved. Not only that, but the reliability of measurement has also improved significantly. Furthermore, an expensive imaging device is not required, and data processing is very simple, making the entire system extremely cost-effective and efficient. As described above, the present invention is extremely useful for streamlining the work of measuring age.
