Definitions
- Natural cork stoppers obtained exclusively using the bark from cork oak, are subsequently selected, according to lenticel size and quantity, into several, usually nine, distinct qualities.
- the medium and low quality corks are not products with appealing aspect and consequently are products not much appreciated by the market.
- cork stoppers are affected by so-called critical defects (slits, darker zones, softer zones, top-to-bottom crevices, Green zones, Bug zones, Dry Year Cork and long cavities). These defects, in addition to the bad visual aspect they originate, cause the stopper to lose its sealing property, causing leakage of liquid in the bottle that is sealed by it.
- cork stopper is a product that can vary from 1 to 100 (in relation to its quality/size), it is fundamental to maximize the product value by eliminating critical defects or decreasing the size/quantity of lenticels in each stopper.
- the real problem is the quantity and size of the pores in the medium and low quality corks, as well as the existence of critical defects.
- the cork industry professionals know that in all corks there is one side with a better quality (normally the side of the cork originally leaning against the trunk of the tree is of better quality (less and smaller lenticels and less critical defects (cracks and sits)) than the side of the cork that is toward the outside the tree (immediately after the bark).
- Patent application PT 103749 discloses a quality control system for cork stoppers, which uses a light source, a laser device and among other technical features, means to obtain 2D and 3D images.
- the main differences between this application (PT 103749) and the present application are at the level of use of the cork stoppers formed by the two halves of better quality, constituting a huge advantage and innovation in relation to the existing state of the art.
- the present invention consists of a device comprising a support platform (1), a device (2) capable of rotating a cork with precision, at least one digital camera (3) capable of acquiring 2D or 3D images of the stopper's body, at least two digital cameras (4) and (5) capable of 2D or 3D image acquisition of each of the stopper's tops, two support means (6) and (7) equipped with at least two elements (B) and (c) at the extremities, capable of holding and of moving at least one half of a stopper, a stopper discharge device (8) and a moveable cutting device (9).
- Another object of the present invention is to implement a method of exploiting the best quality of cork stoppers, during which the following steps are extremely important:
- the stopper is placed among the four rotatable cylindrical means (A) of the device (2) able to rotate the stopper.
- the stopper then rotates while an optical reading of the cork surface (body and tops) is carried out by means of color digital cameras and/or depth sensors (3), (4) and (5).
- the data read is communicated to a computer equipped with software capable of processing the received data and identifing which part of the surface of the cork has better quality (less and smaller lenticels and/or absence of critical defects).
- the computer leads the four rotating cylindrical means (A) of the device (2) to rotate the stoppers, so as to place the stopper in the cut position.
- the two support means 6 and 7 equipped with the support elements b and c at their extremities, capable of holding and moving a half-stopper are then driven so that one of the elements, (b) or (c), holds the half of the stopper with the best quality and the other element (c) or (b) holds the half of the stopper with the lowest quality.
- a cutting device capable of movement (9) is then driven, separating the half-stopper with better quality from the half-stopper with the worse quality.
- both the better quality half-stopper and the lesser quality half-stopper are deposited into one of the holes of the stopper discharge device (8), according to the size/quantity of the lenticels in each half-stopper.
- the invention may classify according to quality, each of the half-stoppers processed into one of 5 or more distinct classes.
- the top quality half-stopper is glued to another half-stopper of better quality, extracted from another stopper.
- the end result is a stopper made of two or more pieces of "better quality parts" of two or more stoppers.
- the process of bonding the two halves of the stopper is then performed manually by the operator, which places food glue on each of the stopper-halves and attaches them to each other.
