Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an inspection recording device. [Background technology]

[0002] Previously, the bags were sampled and inspected once an hour to check for weight, bag thickness, air leakage, and remaining oxygen. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7355360 [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-135144 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Due to the characteristics of the bag sampling inspection, the timing of the weight and bag thickness inspection, the air leak inspection, and the remaining oxygen amount inspection are all different. Furthermore, since the remaining oxygen amount inspection requires puncturing the bag, the remaining oxygen amount inspection can only be carried out after the air leak inspection.

[0005] However, in conventional sample testing of bags, the test results were managed by hand, which created the problem that even when an air leak test had not been conducted, an oxygen remaining amount test could still be conducted.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an inspection recording device that can avoid a situation where a test for remaining oxygen is carried out before a test for air leaks. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] An inspection recording device according to one embodiment comprises an identifier reading unit that reads an identifier provided on each inspection object, a display unit that displays a first screen related to a non-destructive inspection to be performed on the inspection object and a second screen related to a non-destructive inspection to be performed on the inspection object, a memory unit that stores the results of the non-destructive inspection and the destructive inspection corresponding to the identifier, and a control unit that controls the display of the display unit, and the control unit switches the display of the display unit from the first screen to the second screen when all results of the non-destructive inspection to be performed on a specific inspection object have been entered on the first screen. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an inspection recording device that can avoid a situation in which a test for the remaining oxygen amount is carried out before a test for air leakage. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the drawings, identical or similar parts are designated by identical or similar reference numerals. However, it should be noted that the drawings are schematic, and the dimensional ratios and the like may differ from those of the actual parts. Therefore, specific dimensions and the like should be determined with reference to the following description. Furthermore, parts in the drawings may have different dimensional relationships and ratios. In this specification and the drawings, elements having substantially the same functions and configurations are designated by the same reference numerals to avoid redundant description, and elements not directly related to the present invention are not shown.

[0011] (First embodiment) An inspection recording device 20 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3B. Figure 1 shows a schematic configuration of a production line managed by a production management system 100 according to this embodiment, Figure 2 shows an example of functional blocks of the inspection recording device 20 according to this embodiment, Figure 3A shows an example of a first screen 22A displayed by the display unit 22 of the inspection recording device 20 according to this embodiment, and Figure 3B shows an example of the first screen 22A displayed by the display unit 22 of the inspection recording device 20 according to one embodiment.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, the production management system 100 according to this embodiment includes a combination weighing device 1, a bag manufacturing and packaging device (packaging device) 3, a weight inspection device 5, a seal inspection device 6, and a boxing device 7.

[0013] The combination weighing device 1 is a device that calculates the combination of items. The combination weighing device 1 divides and weighs items supplied from a transport conveyor located upstream, combines the obtained multiple weighing values ​​to determine a combination that results in a target weight value, and supplies items of the target weight corresponding to the determined combination to the bag-making and packaging device 3.

[0014] The bag-making and packaging device 3 is a device that produces bags for packaging the items and packages the items supplied from the combination weighing device 1 to produce bagged products. In the process of forming the bags, the bag-making and packaging device 3 prints, for example, an identifier that uniquely identifies the product on the bag material.

[0015] The weight inspection device 5 is a device that detects the weight of the products manufactured in the bag-making and packaging device 3 while transporting the products, and inspects whether the content is excessive or insufficient. The seal inspection device 6 is a device that inspects the thickness of the product bags and whether there are any air leaks. The boxing device 7 is a device that packs a group of products into boxes (for example, cardboard boxes used for boxing products).

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the inspection recording device 20 includes an identifier reading unit 21, a display unit 22, a recording unit 23, and a control unit 24.

[0017] Here, the inspection recording device 20 samples products discharged from the bag-making and packaging device 3 as objects to be inspected and records the inspection results of the objects to be inspected. That is, the objects to be inspected may be food products packaged in bags. Alternatively, the inspection recording device 20 may sample products after all inspections have been completed as objects to be inspected and record the inspection results of the objects to be inspected.

[0018] The identifier reader 21 reads the identifier provided on each inspection object. For example, the identifier reader 21 is configured with a camera, a scanner capable of reading two-dimensional codes and three-dimensional codes, or the like.

[0019] Here, as described above, such an identifier is printed on the bag of the product to be inspected. For example, such an identifier may be included in a two-dimensional code or a three-dimensional code.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3A, the display unit 22 displays a first screen 22A relating to the non-destructive inspection to be performed on the object to be inspected, and as shown in FIG. 3B, a second screen 22B relating to the non-destructive inspection to be performed on the object to be inspected.

[0021] Non-destructive testing refers to testing that can be performed without destroying the bag, such as testing the expiration date, bag weight, air leaks, and factory print inspection. Destructive testing, on the other hand, refers to testing that is performed by destroying the bag, such as testing the remaining oxygen level, tensile testing (sealed area), and submersion testing.

[0022] The storage unit 23 stores the results of the non-destructive testing and the destructive testing in correspondence with the identifier read by the identifier reading unit 21. The information recorded by the recording unit 23 may be transmitted to the management device of the production management system 100.

[0023] The control unit 24 controls the display of the display unit 22. Specifically, when all the results of the non-destructive testing to be performed on a specific test object have been input on the first screen 22A, the control unit 24 switches the display on the display unit 22 from the first screen 22A to the second screen 22B.

[0024] With this configuration, the screen will not switch to the second screen 22B unless all the results of the non-destructive testing are entered on the first screen 22A, which makes it possible to avoid an irreversible situation in which a destructive test is carried out before a non-destructive test is carried out.

[0025] Furthermore, the storage unit 23 may store the time when the non-destructive testing and the destructive testing should be performed in correspondence with the above-mentioned identifier, and the control unit 24 may determine that an abnormality has occurred and issue a notification if the results of the non-destructive testing or the destructive testing are not input by that time. For example, the control unit 24 may cause the display unit 22 to display such a notification.

[0026] With this configuration, by notifying the person in charge that non-destructive testing and destructive testing that should be performed have not been performed by the specified time, it is possible to share with other workers that some kind of problem has occurred.

[0027] Furthermore, the storage unit 23 may store an identifier and the result of the above-mentioned inspection in association with each other for each line on which the object to be inspected is processed.

[0028] With this configuration, it is possible to easily find the line in which the test object that showed a problem in the results of the non-destructive test or the destructive test was processed.

[0029] Furthermore, if the control unit 24 determines that re-inspection is necessary based on the results of the non-destructive or destructive testing, the control unit 24 may cause the display unit 22 to display that non-destructive or destructive testing will be performed on the test items belonging to the same line as the line on which the non-destructive or destructive testing was performed.

[0030] With this configuration, non-destructive or destructive testing can be easily performed on other test items on the line where the test item that showed a problem in the results of non-destructive or destructive testing was processed, making it possible to check whether the problem is a problem on the line in question.

[0031] An example of an operation performed by an operator in the inspection recording device 2 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

[0032] First, when an operator reads an identifier printed on a bag of an object to be inspected via the identifier reading unit 21, the display unit 22 displays the identifier on the first screen 22A.

[0033] For example, if the above-mentioned identifier is included in a two-dimensional code or a three-dimensional code, as shown in FIG. 3A, the display unit 22 displays the reading result of the two-dimensional code or the three-dimensional code as an identifier file on the first screen 22A.

[0034] Second, when the worker presses the confirm button next to the identification file, the display unit 22 displays on the first screen the information contained in the two-dimensional code or three-dimensional code, such as the manufacturing date and time, serial number (identifier), line name, and product name.

[0035] Third, if the worker determines that the manufacturing date and time, serial number (identifier), line name, and product name are correct, he or she presses the confirm button next to the product name.

[0036] Fourth, the worker inspects the items to be inspected for expiration date, bag weight, bag thickness, and air leaks, and after inputting the results of each inspection on the first screen 22A, presses the confirm button, and the display unit 22 switches from the first screen 22A to the second screen 22B.

[0037] Alternatively, when an operator inspects an object for expiration date, bag weight, bag thickness, and air leaks, and inputs the results of each inspection on first screen 22A and then presses the confirm button, display unit 22 may display first screen 22A with the identifier returned to a blank state. After that, when the operator again inputs an identifier indicating that the expiration date, bag weight, bag thickness, and air leak inspections have been completed on first screen 22A and then presses the confirm button, display unit 22 may switch from first screen 22A to second screen 22B. This configuration allows operations on first screen 22A to be performed consecutively for multiple objects to be inspected.

[0038] Fifth, the worker carries out a test of the remaining oxygen amount, inputs the test results on the second screen 22B, and then presses the confirm button.

[0039] According to this embodiment, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a destructive inspection is carried out before a non-destructive inspection is carried out.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail using the above-described embodiments, it is clear to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The present invention can be implemented in modified and altered forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the description in this specification is intended to be illustrative and explanatory and does not have any limiting meaning on the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
