Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is an apparatus for determination of the position of an insert in rod-like articles of the tobacco industry.
  • the present invention concerns an apparatus for carrying out quality control of products in the tobacco industry.
  • Tobacco industry products including cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars, filter rods made of a single filtering material, multi-segment rods comprising multiple segments, and all types of semi-finished products processed at particular stages of production may be referred to by a common name - rod-like articles.
  • Some rod-like articles, such as filter rods and filter cigarettes, may contain capsules with an aromatic substance.
  • Quality control may be performed by random selection or may be applied to all articles produced. Quality control concerns both the appearance and the dimensions of the articles, and in the case of articles containing capsules, the level of filling of the capsules is significant.
  • Tobacco industry articles may contain lengthwise inserts located centrally on the axis, made of synthetic material or metal. Articles may also contain metallised elements made of synthetic material.
  • quality control concerning the content of articles, for example the position of capsules or inserts in filter rods or in finished cigarettes, it is necessary to image the articles using radiation.
  • Articles are also required to be imaged when checking the dimensions of segments in multi-segment filter rods or checking the dimensions of inserts.
  • the radiation sources must be suited to the various materials used by tobacco product manufacturers.
  • the increasing capacities and increasingly complex construction of multi-segment rods result in higher requirements for quality control.
  • Casings for rod-like articles are currently made from a wide variety of materials, some of which are opaque; sometimes the casings contain metal foil, for example aluminium foil. In the case of opaque casing materials, it is difficult to check the content of the articles.
  • Rod-like articles often contain lengthwise elements, for example flavouring threads, tubular elements or lengthwise plates. The purpose of this invention is to provide a way of checking the presence of lengthwise elements and the position of those elements.
  • Application DE102014209721 A1 discloses a method of measuring the parameters of rod-like articles using X-rays.
  • the rod-like articles are placed in a rotating clamp having seats adapted to hold the rod-like articles.
  • the rotating clamp is rotated about its own axis, which enables registering of the intensity of the radiation passing through the rod-like articles at different angles.
  • a defect of this solution is the fact that the rod-like articles do not rotate about their own axis, but about the axis of the rotating clamp as a whole.
  • the creation of a three-dimensional image of the rod-like articles requires the use of complex processing typical for computed tomography.
  • the presented method may be used in laboratory measurements, in the testing of a selected group of articles. It is not suitable, however, for measurement on an automated production line along which rod-like articles pass in large numbers.
  • Documents EP0790006B1 and EP2769632A1 disclose methods and devices for the non-invasive measurement of quality parameters of rod-like articles using X-rays, suitable for use on an automated production line.
  • Document EP0790006B1 describes a method and device enabling determination of the density of a rod-like article on the basis of a measurement of the intensity of X-radiation passing through the rod-like article at different thicknesses of the rod-like article.
  • Document EP2769632A1 discloses a method for the measurement of a capsule placed inside a rod-like article, using three independent measuring assemblies performing measurements at different angles. A defect of both of these solutions is that measurement is limited to one article at a time.
  • the object of the invention is an apparatus for determination of the position of an insert in rod-like articles used in the tobacco industry, provided with a conveyor for rod-like articles adapted for transporting rod-like articles in a direction of transporting perpendicular to the lengthwise axis of the rod-like article in a predetermined plane of transporting, a radiation source, and at least one detector.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is characterised in that it is provided with a set of at least two sections of a detector and/or two detectors. The sections of the detector or two detectors are placed one behind the other in the direction of transporting on the conveyor of rod-like articles in a predetermined spatial orientation in which the radiation hitting on the sections of the detector or the detectors passes through the rod-like article at different angles.
  • the apparatus is further provided with a controller adapted to receive from the sections of the detector and/or the detectors a sequence of signals. Every sequence of signals corresponds to the same rod-like article transported on the conveyor, and moreover the controller is adapted so that it determines the position of the insert in the rod-like article on the basis of the sequence of signals and the parameters of the predetermined spatial orientation of placement of the detectors.
  • Apparatus as in the invention is characterised in that the apparatus is provided with a rotating unit to rotate the rod-like article during transporting on the conveyor of rod-like articles.
  • Apparatus as in the invention is characterised in that the spatial orientation of the detectors is selected so that the radiation hits on the detectors perpendicularly.
  • Apparatus as in the invention is characterised in that the spatial orientation of the detectors is selected so that the radiation hits on the radiation detectors at an acute angle.
  • Apparatus as in the invention is characterised in that at least one detector is a linear matrix of radiation detectors.
  • Apparatus as in the invention is characterised in that at least one detector has the form of a two- dimensional matrix of radiation detectors.
  • Apparatus as in the invention is characterised in that it determines the position of the insert in the rod-like article in three-dimensional space on the basis of the sequence of signals from the detectors and the parameters of the predetermined spatial orientation of the radiation source and detectors.
  • Apparatus as in the invention is characterised in that the radiation source is a source of electromagnetic radiation having a frequency in the range 10 12 to 10 19 Hz.
  • An advantage of the invention is that it enables radiological measurement determining the position in space of internal elements of rod-like products on the production line. Due to the use of a source of known geometry, in a production line it is possible to test all products being produced and to eliminate defective products at further stages of production, which leads to improvement in quality.
