Embodiment Construction

[0032] Figure 1a Shown is a top view of the apparatus 100 of the present invention. The apparatus 100 comprises a conveying device 102, in this embodiment a conveying star wheel, around which is mounted a large number of grippers 104 which in each case can grip the container 10. container mouth. The conveyor 102 rotates in a certain direction, such as here in a counterclockwise direction. This instrument comprises a device 1 according to the invention for detecting in each case whether a container 10 is located on a grip.

[0033] Figure 1b shown along Figure 1a A partial view of the A-A line. more specifically, Figure 1b is a plan view of the device 1 according to the invention. The device comprises emitting means 2, which emit acoustic signals, in particular ultrasonic signals. The receiving device 12 is able to receive the ultrasound signal, in particular an ultrasound signal moving in direction S. FIG. However, if the container 10 is located between the transmit...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a divice(1) for testing the existence of objects, especially containers(10). The device(1) has a transmitting device (2) comprising an acoustic signal generating unit for outputting an acoustic signal. A receiving device (12) is connected to the transmitting device(2) in such a manner that the acoustic signal outputted by the transmitting device(2) and transmitted through air is received by the receiving device(12). The transmitting device and the receiving device are provided with housings (8, 18), respectively, where respective areas (34, 34) of the housings are provided for outputting or receiving the acoustic signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for checking the presence of objects, in particular containers. an examination Background technique [0002] Inspection In the beverage production industry, beverage containers are often produced, filled, labeled and further processed in a multi-step process. In the present invention, the containers are transported from one processing unit to the other, eg by means of rotating star wheels. It is often necessary to check whether the container is actually arranged in a specific position, for example whether the container is held by a clamp. If the clamps do not grip the container, this may result in the non-existence of the container filled with beverage, thus causing contamination of the instrument. [0003] It is known in the art to use ultrasonic elements to check whether the tongs are holding a container. For this purpose, an ultrasound transmitter and an ultrasound receiver are usually provided, and the gripper ...
