Definitions

  • the invention concerns a device for sorting and distributing of packaging units, in particular bottles transported standing in a single row on a horizontal main conveyor, onto a conveyor or several conveyors running parallel to and next to the main conveyor with a deflector device timed precisely by a recognition station (DE 31 10 883 C2) .
  • Plastic bottles are becoming increasingly significant as reusable bottles due to their minimum transport weight and breakproof qualities.
  • Conventional sorting and distributing devices developed for glass bottles are suitable for use with plastic bottles to a certain extent, only.
  • the deflector device has the form of a ram comprising at its free end at least one roller provided with an all-round hoop made of foam-rubber or similar material and mounted on a bearing revolving freely around a perpendicular axis and extending in operative position lightly into the path of the transported packaging units, preferably bottles.
  • This elimination device is slowing the bottles during the ejection process to a minimum extent only, causing practically no motion relative to the conveyor belt in the transport direction. Because of this operation type the bottles can be transported interval-free on the conveyor belt past the elimination device.
  • Bottle filling systems equipped with such elimination devices in combination with suitable test equipment achieve better production performances than systems using pusher eliminators such as the US 26 89 647.
  • the dynamics of the pressure cylinder driving the ram of the elimination device according to DE 31 10 883 C2 generates a transverse impulse acting upon the bottle to be eliminated with an impact or ramming load on the bottle, which load is cushioned as compared to the pusher extractor according to US 26 89 647 by the elastic roller attached to the elimination ram, but still involves the risk that lightweight, and therefore relatively unstable, plastic bottles will tip over during the elimination process, leading to interruptions in production.
  • Another elimination and distribution device incorporates as a deflector device a revolving element with a helically bent actuating surface that executes one revolution around an axis parallel to the bottle transport direction for each elimination procedure. Transfer of the defective bottles onto the elimination belt is carried out by the revolving element within milliseconds, resulting in much more favorable energy transfer conditions between the deflector device and the bottle than with the known elimination devices, but is unable to avoid the transverse impulse, so that this known elimination and distribution device is not suitable for plastic bottles due to the risk of mishaps represented by said transverse impulse.
  • a device for controlling, distributing and sorting of packing units, especially returnable plastic packings in sorting and filling plants is already known from the German utility model G 91 02 996.1.
  • Bottles supplied to the device are alternately directed by a wedge in one of two possible directions at a rate of 1:1.
  • a detector station cooperating with the wedge is provided for the sorting of bottles of different types onto different conveyor belts.
  • the purpose of the invention is to develop a sorting and distributing device of this generic type enabling dependable elimination of defective bottles, in particular contaminated beverage bottles from a row of travelling bottles under jam pressure or from an irregularly spaced row.
  • the invention fulfills this purpose with a sorting and distributing device with the features of Patent Claim 1.
  • the sub-claims describe the pertinent design features of the invention.
  • the switch device with a particularly wedge-shaped deflector gate enables dependable elimination of defective beverage bottles, for example, closed bottles, under jam pressure from a row of bottles right next to each other as well as from a row of irregularly spaced individual bottles.
  • the braking effect of the deflector gate is overcome ensuring faultless elimination of defective bottles, i.e. their transfer onto the elimination station conveyors and return of defect-free bottles to the main conveyor.
  • a jam of bottles on the conveyors of the elimination station or in the segment of the main conveyor succeeding the switch device does not affect the function of these devices in any way.
  • the light barriers located between recognition station and switch device ensure precise detection and elimination of defective bottles.
  • the device according to the invention enables also a reliable elimination of bottles containing undesired impurities (contaminated bottles) .
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic plane view of a sorting device according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 shows a block diagram of the electronic control of the device according to the invention
  • Fig. 3 shows a block diagram with components serving for control of different conveyors of the device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows a circuit diagram with signals representing the cooperation of light barriers and a recognition station with a sniffing device.
  • the main components of the device for elimination of defective or contaminated beverage bottles of glass, plastic or the like respectively are a main conveyor 1 for the bottles 2, an S-shaped guide 3 with two rails 3a, 3b placed apart in the distance of the width of the conveyor to direct the transported bottles from the main conveyor 1 onto a sorting conveyor 4 running parallel to it and essentially synchronized with it, a recognition station 5 with a sniffing device 23, a switch device 6 controlled by the recognition station 5, as well as two belt drives 7 with two endless belts 8 running in the transport direction a of the bottles 2 to transport the bottles 2 through the switch device 6 ' and the deflector gate, respectively.
  • Any belt drive may comprise two or more endless belts vertically offset to grip the bottles at different heights.
  • the endless belts are running, for example, with a velocity different to the velocity of the main conveyor of +/- 5%.
  • the velocity of the sorting conveyor may differ in +/- 10% from the velocity of the main conveyor; in particular the velocity of the sorting conveyor is 5% higher than that of the main conveyor to reduce rebounding of jammed bottles.
  • the bottles are fed in the direction a over guide 3, for example from the main conveyor 1 onto the side conveyor 4, to the recognition station 5.
  • the side conveyor 4 is transporting the bottles further to the switch device 6.
  • the bottles are caught on the opposite sides of their periphery by the endless belts 8 and transported further in direction a.
  • Defective bottles are bottles which are closed, i.e. covered by a closure such as a cap, and/or contaminated bottles.
  • Contaminated bottles are bottles containing undesired substances. Such undesired substances are remaining liquids or solid substances, even comparatively small particles. Contaminated bottles are, when the undesired impurities are identifiable by their odor, recognized by the sniffing device 23.
  • ALEXUS As a recognition station with a sniffing device 23 there is used, for example, the product "ALEXUS" from
  • Thermedics Detection Inc. Chelmsford, Massachusetts/USA. It comprises small tubes from which air is supplied into the respective bottle to be tested. The subsequently in connection with the impurities contained in the bottle formed mixture is sucked in over another small tube and heated. The heated gas mixture is tested for the presence of one or more chemical substances, for example nitric oxide. When the presence of these chemical substances is recognized, an electric- control 221 (Fig. 2) connected to the sniffing device 22 is generating electric output signals used for controlling the switch device 6.
  • the switch device 6 comprises a deflector element, especially a vertically arranged deflector gate 9 with a swivel drive.
  • Two guide rails 10, 11 are formed to direct bottles 2 recognized as contaminated onto a sorting conveyor 13 and to return the non-defective bottles 2 onto the main conveyor 1.
  • the guide rails 10, 11 are formed hyperbolicly.
  • the deflector gate 9 of the switch device 6 has a wedge shape and the tip of the wedge 14 of the deflector gate 9 is directed against the bottle transport direction a; the deflector gate is motorically, electromagnetically or in particular pneumatically moved in a known manner.
  • the wedge has a length in the range of about 0.4 to 0.6 of the diameter of the bottle and the wedge has a round end portion in the transport direction a.
  • bottles have diameters of 64 to 105 mm.
  • Typical velocities of the main conveyor are 400 to 500 bottles/min.
  • the contaminated bottles 2 are directed by the elimination conveyor 13 through the guide rails 15, 16 onto three further conveyors 17-19 of elimination station 12 that run at a lower speed than conveyors 1, 4 and 13.
  • the following velocities are provided for the conveyors; conveyor 1, 4 and 13 0.5 m/s, respectively; conveyor 17 0.36 m/s; conveyor 18 and 19 0.26 m/s, respectively.
  • the velocities of conveyors onto which the bottles recognized as defective are guided are decreased in the direction from the conveyor 13 to conveyors more remote from the switch device; for example, the velocity of conveyor 17 is 65 to 80% of the velocity of conveyor 13 while the velocity of conveyor 18 is 65 to 80% of the velocity of conveyor 17.
  • Such a gradual decreasing of the velocities ensures secure transporting of the bottles and avoids toggling.
  • Ten light barriers 201, ... ,210 follow the recognition station 5 in transport direction a and at a distance to it for monitoring a defective bottle 2 along the way to the switch device 6.
  • a bottle stopper 211 is installed in the S-guide 3 preceding the recognition station 5. Another one 212 is attached to the main conveyor 1 succeeding the switch device 6. The purpose of the bottle stoppers 211, 212 is to detain the bottle stream in case of malfunction of the switch device 6 and the recognition station 5.
  • Fig. 2 represents the electronic control of the device according to the invention. Essentially, it consists of a programmable processing unit CPU and a circuit (221) assigned to the sniffing device 23 (Fig. 1) . Both circuits CPU and 221 are supplied with input signals from sensors especially from light barriers 201, ..., 210, from a cap sensor, and eventually from a sensor detecting the height of remaining liquid in a bottle. The circuit CPU generates output signals depending on input signals and actuating actuators namely switch device 6 and deflector gate 9, respectively, the bottle stoppers 211, 212 and the motors M of the conveyors. A programmable integrated circuit "MELSEC FX-32 MR" from MITSUBISHI is used as a central processing unit CPU. The circuit CPU is, for example, programmed in such a manner that the following relations between signals at its inputs II, ..., 113 and signals at its output 01, ..., 013 are established.
  • the input II is grounded; a programmable device is connectable to an input, not shown in Fig. 2. With input 12 the transporting direction of the bottles' recognized as non- defective or defective is switchable (left or right, respectively, on the switch device 6, Fig. 1) .

  • CPU input 13 is supplied with a signal causing output signals at outputs 09 and 013.
  • the signal at output 09 activates bottle stopper 211 (Fig. 1) while the signal at output 013 decreases the velocity of the conveyors 4, 13, 17, 18, 19 by controlling motors M for a predeterminable period, for example, 1 minute; afterwards the motors M are turned off.
  • a signal supplied to input 15 of the processing unit CPU from circuit 221 indicates a bottle recognized as defective.
  • the signal causes a signal at output 08 changing the switch device 6 and the deflector gate 9, respectively. This bottle is also supplied to the collecting table (13, 17 to 19).
  • a signal at input 06 of processing unit CPU supplied from output 03 of circuit 221 indicates a bottle not followed by a bottle on conveyor 4. This signal enables to switch the switch device 6 in time.
  • Inputs 17 and 18 of the processing unit CPU are each connected to a sensor. By means of this sensors the processing unit CPU checks the position of deflector gate 9. When, for example, a defective bottle is returned on the main conveyor the CPU is detecting this by means of the input signals 17/18 and generates signals activating bottle stopper 211 and/or bottle stopper 212 at outputs 09 and/or O10.
  • Inputs 19 and 110 are connected to the last two light barriers 209 and 210.
  • the signals at this inputs are serving for a timely switching of switch device 6.
  • the input 111 is connected to a pressurized air sensor, not shown in figures, detecting the pressure in a pneumatical system comprising the switch device 6 and the bottle stoppers 211, 212.
  • the processing unit CPU is generating a status information (outputs 01...04) and turns the belt drive 7 (Fig. 1) and the motors M of the conveyors off by means of a signal at output 012.
  • the input 112 is connected to a manually actuable switch generating a signal at output 09 and turning on or off the bottle stopper 211.
