Abstract
The position of foreign matter in a bale pattern after its separation in a separating device (10) may be evaluated in that the relative position of the opening device (1) and the transport time of the fibers between the opening device (1) and the separating device (10) is determined in each relative position. Given a separating procedure, taking account of the mentioned variables, the position of the opening device (1) at the point in time of opening the foreign matter (28) is evaluated. The determined opening position of the foreign matter on the fiber bales (27) is stored as a signal and subsequently preferably graphically represented. The method permits conclusions on the degree of contamination of the fiber bales.
Claims10
A method for identifying the position-related origin of foreign matter (28) in fibre bales after separation, with which from at least one bale pattern (26) consisting of several fibre bales (27) opened by an opening device (1) moved relative to the bale pattern, fibres are opened and led via a transport device (8, 9) to a separating device (10) for separating foreign matter, determining a relative position of the opening device (1) and the transport time of the fibres between the opening device (1) and the separating device (10), wherein with a separating procedure evaluating the position of the opening device (1) at the point in time of opening of the foreign matter taking into account the time and position parameters (28) and storing the determined opening position of the foreign matter on the bale pattern as a signal.
A device for indentifying the position-related origin of foreign matter (28) in fibre bales after their separation,
- an opening device (1) movable relative to the fibre bales for opening fibres,
- a separating device (10) for separating sensorically determined foreign matter (28) in the fibres,
- transport device (8,9) for transporting of the opened fibres as a flow of fibre stock to the separating device (10) from the opening device, at least one position sensor positioned relative to the opening device (7) for determining the relative position of the opening device (1),
- a computer in communication with the position sensor (20) for evaluating the relative position of the opening device (1) given a separating procedure and for taking into account the transport time between opening and separating the foreign matter (28), and
- a data memory associated with the computer (23) for storing the evaluated opening position.
