Title
(EN) METHOD FOR ADJUSTING AT LEAST ONE PARAMETER OF A LINE FOR SORTING OBJECTS SUCH AS FRUIT OR VEGETABLES, AND ASSOCIATED SORTING SYSTEM
(FR) PROCÉDÉ D'AJUSTEMENT D'AU MOINS UN PARAMÈTRE D'UNE LIGNE DE TRIAGE D'OBJETS TELS QUE DES FRUITS OU DES LÉGUMES ET SYSTÈME DE TRIAGE ASSOCIÉ
Abstract
(EN) The invention relates to a method for adjusting at least one parameter of a line (1) for sorting objects (7) of a system for packing such objects belonging to the group comprising fruit and vegetables, the sorting line (1) conveying a plurality of supports (6), each support (6) being intended to carry an object (7), the adjustment method being characterised in that it comprises the following steps: - moving at least one support (6) in a longitudinal direction of travel (5) of the sorting line (1); - detecting the passage of said at least one support (6) in front of a reference point (11) of the sorting line (1); - detecting the passage of said at least one support (6) in front of each discharging station Pi (12, 12') of a plurality of discharging stations distributed along the sorting line (1), each discharging station Pi (12, 12') being intended to be able to discharge an object (7) from said at least one support (6) that is carried by said at least one support (6) when said at least one support (6) passes in front of said discharging station Pi (12, 12'); - determining each longitudinal distance Di separating each discharging station Pi (12, 12') of the plurality of discharging stations and the reference point (11), on the basis of data for detecting the passage of said at least one support (6) in front of the reference point (11) and data for detecting the passage of said at least one support (6) in front of each discharging station Pi (12, 12') and the drive speed of said at least one support (6) on the sorting line (1). The invention also relates to a system for sorting such objects and to a system for packing objects comprising such a sorting system.
(FR) L’invention concerne un procédé d’ajustement d’au moins un paramètre d’une ligne (1) de triage d’objets (7) d’un système de conditionnement de tels objets appartenant au groupe des fruits et des légumes, la ligne (1) de triage convoyant une pluralité de supports (6), chaque support (6) étant destiné à porter un objet (7); le procédé d’ajustement étant caractérisé en ce qu’il comprend les étapes suivantes : - entraînement d’au moins un support (6) en déplacement selon une direction (5) d’avancement longitudinale de la ligne (1) de triage; - détection du passage dudit au moins un support (6) devant un point (11 ) de référence de la ligne (1) de triage; - détection du passage dudit au moins un support (6) devant chaque poste (12,12’) d’éjection Pi d’une pluralité de postes d’éjection répartis le long de la ligne (1) de triage, chaque poste (12,12’) d’éjection Pi étant destiné à pouvoir expulser dudit au moins un support (6), un objet (7) porté par ledit au moins un support (6), lors du passage dudit au moins un support (6) devant ledit poste (12,12’) d’éjection Pi; - détermination de chaque distance longitudinale Di séparant chaque poste (12,12’) d’éjection Pi de la pluralité de postes d’éjection et le point (11) de référence, à partir de données de détection du passage dudit au moins un support (6) devant le point (11) de référence et de données de détection du passage dudit au moins un support (6) devant chaque poste (12,12’) d’éjection Pi et de la vitesse d’entraînement dudit au moins un support (6) sur la ligne (1) de triage. L’invention s’étend à un système de triage de tels objets et à un système de conditionnement d'objets comprenant un tel système de triage.
