Description
Vorrichtung zum Sortieren von Produktencontraption for sorting products
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Sortieren von Produkten wie Tabletten, Kapseln, Dragees oder dergleichen, mit einer Fördereinrichtung zum Fördern der Produkte von einer Zuführstation zu mindestens zwei Sammelgefäßen.The invention relates to a device for sorting products such as tablets, capsules, coated tablets or the like, with a conveyor for Promote of the products from a feed station to at least two receptacles.
Derartige Vorrichtungen sind aus der Praxis bekannt, die dazu genutzt werden, um anhand eines Auswahlkriteriums die Produkte zu unterscheiden und zu sortieren, wobei ein wichtiges Auswahlkriterium die räumliche, körperliche Integrität der Produkte ist, damit insbesondere im pharmazeutischen Bereich sichergestellt werden kann, daß im nachfolgenden Verarbeitungsprozeß zum Verpacken der Produkte ausschließlich einwandfrei, unzerstörte Produkte mit der erforderlichen Wirkstoffmenge verpackt werden.Such devices are out known in practice, which are used to based on a selection criterion to distinguish and sort the products, an important one Selection criterion the spatial, physical integrity of the products is therefore particularly in the pharmaceutical field can be ensured that in subsequent processing for packaging the products exclusively flawless, undestroyed Products are packed with the required amount of active ingredient.
Bekannte Vorrichtungen zum Sortieren nutzen mit einem Vibrationsantrieb gekoppelte Siebe, über die die zu sortierenden Produkte gefördert und transportiert werden. Mit dieser Siebtechnik ist jedoch das Aussortieren von Produkten unterschiedlicher Länge aber gleichen Querschnitts nicht möglich. Um auch dies leisten zu können, ist es bei bisher bekannten Vorrichtungen erforderlich, Wiegesysteme einzusetzen, um die Masse der Produkte zu messen, oder Kamerasysteme zu verwenden, um mittels Mustererkennung schadhafte Produkte erkennen und ausscheiden zu können.Known sorting devices use sieves coupled with a vibration drive, over which promoted the products to be sorted and be transported. With this screening technique, however, that is Sorting out products of different lengths but with the same cross-section not possible. Around to be able to do this too With previously known devices, it is necessary to use weighing systems, to measure the mass of the products, or to use camera systems, to identify and eliminate defective products using pattern recognition to be able to.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß mit geringem apparativem Aufwand eine Unterscheidung von Produkten unterschiedlicher Längen aber mit gleichem Querschnitt möglich ist.The invention has for its object a Form device of the type mentioned so that with little equipment differentiation of products different lengths but with the same cross section is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Fördereinrichtung eine Transporteinheit und eine Ausrichteeinheit zum Ausrichten der Produkte und eine Blasdüse mit einem Gasstrom konstanter Stärke und Richtung aufweist zum masseselektiven Trennen und Überführung der ausgerichteten Produkte in die räumlich getrennt von der Ausrichteeinheit angeordneten mindestens zwei Sammelgefäße.This object is achieved according to the invention solved in a device of the type mentioned in that the conveyor a transport unit and an alignment unit for aligning the Products and a blow nozzle with a gas flow of constant strength and has direction for mass-selective separation and transfer of the aligned products in the spatially at least two collecting vessels arranged separately from the alignment unit.
Diese Vorrichtung macht sich zunutze, daß bei konstantem Querschnitt die Beschleunigung der Produkte infolge des auf diese von der Blasdüse erzeugten Blasstromes von der Masse abhängt, so daß das von der Blasdüse bewirkte Fördern der Produkte abhängig von deren Masse ist, daß also Produkte unterschiedlicher Masse unterschiedlich weit gefördert werden. Dies wird ausgenutzt, um die Produkte nach dem Sortierkriterium auf die zwei Sammelgefäße zu verteilen, wobei der Begriff Sammelgefäß in allgemeinster Form zu verstehen ist und beispielsweise neben einem Abfallgefäß für schadhafte Produkte auch die tiefgezogenen Taschen einer Blisterpackung umfassen kann.This device takes advantage of that at constant cross section the acceleration of the products due to the on this from the blow nozzle generated blowing flow depends on the mass, so that caused by the blowing nozzle Promote of the products of their mass is that Products of different masses are promoted to different degrees. This is used to sort the products according to the criteria to distribute to the two receptacles, the term collecting vessel in the most general Form is to be understood and, for example, next to a waste container for damaged Products also include the thermoformed pockets of a blister pack can.
Ganz besonders bevorzugt im Rahmen der Erfindung ist, daß die Sammelgefäße unterhalb der Fördereinrichtung angeordnet sind, da so unter der Wirkung der Schwerkraft sich unterschiedliche Fallinien für die durch die Blasdüse beschleunigten Produkte ergeben, je nachdem ob diese beschädigt mit reduzierter oder unbeschädigt mit vollständiger Masse vorliegen, so daß die Trennschärfe der Vorrichtung bei verringertem Platzbedarf größer wird.Very particularly preferred in the frame the invention is that the Collecting vessels below the conveyor are arranged, so that under the effect of gravity different Falllines for through the blow nozzle accelerated products result, depending on whether they are damaged with reduced or undamaged with complete Mass present so that the selectivity the device becomes larger with a reduced space requirement.
Um sicherzustellen, daß der volle Querschnitt der Produkte dem von der Blasdüse erzeugten Gasstrom ausgesetzt ist und keine gegenseitige Abschattung erfolgt, ist vorgesehen, daß die Ausrichteeinheit Mittel zum Vereinzeln der Produkte aufweist, wobei in besonders einfacher Form die Mittel zum Vereinzeln der Produkte durch zwei Förderer gebildet sind, von denen der stromab gelegene Förderer schneller als der andere fördert. Bevorzugt ist die Realisierung der Förderer durch Schwingförderer.To ensure that the full Cross-section of the products exposed to the gas flow generated by the blow nozzle is and there is no mutual shadowing, it is provided that the Alignment unit has means for separating the products, wherein the means for separating the products in a particularly simple form by two sponsors are formed, of which the downstream conveyor is faster than the other promotes. The realization of the conveyors by vibratory conveyors is preferred.
Die Ausrichtung der Produkte läßt sich in besonders einfacher Weise dadurch erzielen, daß die Ausrichteeinheit eine Nut aufweist, durch die die willkürlich auf einer Ebene orientierten Produkte in die gewünschte Richtung gedreht und damit ausgerichtet werden. Dabei ist günstig, wenn die Nut eine Einlaufschräge aufweist, um so die Drehung der Produkte zu fördern bei gleichzeitiger Verhinderung von Produktionsstörungen durch Verklumpung der Produkte.The orientation of the products can be achieve in a particularly simple manner in that the alignment unit has a groove through which the arbitrarily oriented on one level Products in the desired Direction turned and aligned with it. It is beneficial if the groove is an inlet slope so as to promote the rotation of the products while preventing them of production disruptions by clumping the products.
Um eine gute Effizienz des von der Blasdüse erzeugten Gasstromes zu erzielen bei ausreichendem verbleibenden Querschnitt zum Passieren der Produkte unterhalb der Blasdüse, ist die Vorrichtung so gestaltet, daß die Blasdüse einen Winkel von 5° bis 55°, vorzugsweise 30° mit der Förderrichtung einschließt.To ensure a good efficiency of the Blow nozzle generated To achieve gas flow with sufficient remaining cross section the device is so to pass the products below the blow nozzle designed that the blow nozzle an angle of 5 ° to 55 °, preferably 30 ° with the conveying direction includes.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung an einem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert; es zeigen:The following is the invention an embodiment shown in the drawing explained in more detail; it demonstrate:
