Definitions

  • the invention concerns a device according to the introductory part of claim 1, for registration of the size and shape of objects, especially for identification and counting of bottles or other types of return package of different types, being fed to the device.
  • the main object of the invention is to create a registration device which can be realized in a simpler way than what is required for known equipment. It is particularity an object for the invention to provide a registration device based on static signal means or transducers and detectors so that only a moveable carrying device is needed for the objects.
  • the object of the invention can be accomplished according to a device with features as stated in the characteristic part of claim 1. Further features are stated in the independent claims. With such a device it is possible to mate an accurate sensing of bottles and similar objects making it possible to sort these objects in groups depending on shape, size and material quality. Practically, sorting is done in a limited number of classes of value.
  • a carrier 1 which e.g. can be a conveyer belt of known kind which is attached to a drive- and control system suited for this task.
  • a rotating disk can be used.
  • a bottle 2 On the carrier 1 a bottle 2 is located, having a known ogivally shaped neck section 3.
  • the main parameters for the bottle 2 are dimentions, primary diameter, shape, primary curvature of the ogivale section, and material quality. Based on these paramteres one can determine the type of bottle, and thus the class of value. One can also decide on bottles which can not be recirculated, and therefore are rejected or registered with zero-value.
  • a first photo cell 4 is located in line with the transversal light emitter 5 at the same height as the lower part of the bottle. With this photo cell, the time intervall T 1 for passing the lower part can be registrated.
  • an additional photo cell 6 in line with the transversal second light emitter 7 in the height of the neck section 3.
  • the passing time intervall T 2 for a different characteristic section of the bottle can be established.
  • different light sensing elements can be used, e.g. small solar cells or similar.
  • a strip shaped plate-electrode 8 is located, in addition to the two photo cells 4 and 6, at.
  • the capasity sensor is connected to an oscillator 10 controlling the frequency in dependance of the material quality and a shape factor for the bottle in the area covered by the electrode 8. The connection between the dielectrical value measured; and the material quality and the shape factor is determined by testing of different bottles in question.
  • the device also comprises suitable electronic circuits, such as a measurement circuit 11, for determine the dimensions of the bottles, and a microprocessor-circuit 12 for evaluating the measurement results.
  • a measurement circuit 11 for determine the dimensions of the bottles
  • a microprocessor-circuit 12 for evaluating the measurement results.
  • the microprocessor curcuit 12 can be attached to a display element 13 and a printer 14 in a per se known manner.
  • the special advantage of the equipment described above is the simple construction and its permanent placement. By placing the platestrip 8 with its central line in a height of appr. 200 mm above the carrier, it will cover the upper section of most bottles beings in the marked today.
  • an additional photo cell (not shown) having a light source producing a light barrier in the height of the lower photo cell 6 and located in the longitudial direction under the upper photo cell 4. With this barrier it is possible to provide signals for the rate of movement also for particular low bottles.

Abstract

Dispositif d'enregistrement des dimensions et des formes d'objets, destiné notamment à identifier et à compter les bouteilles. Il comporte un organe (1) servant à déplacer les bouteilles (2) par rapport à deux photopiles (4, 6) situées en face de sources lumineuses (5, 7) disposées à des hauteurs différentes par rapport à l'objet et espacées l'une de l'autre dans le sens de l'avance de celui-ci. Le dispositif comporte également un détecteur capacitif (8,9) destiné à mesurer le facteur diélectrique d'une partie de la bouteille (2) en fonction de sa forme et du matériau dont elle est constituée.
