Description

The present invention relates to an operation display system for operating a packaging-related device such as a pillow wrapping machine, a wrapping wrapping machine, an overwrapping wrapping machine, and a boxing device, a server for an operation display system, and a packaging-related device.

The packaging-related equipment includes a pillow packaging machine that sequentially fills the packaged material into a tubular shape and seals and cuts it to manufacture the package, and the packaged material that is cut from the packaged material. There are wrapping wrapping machines that wrap in a wrapping machine, overwrapping wrapping machines that cover one or more items to be packaged with packaging materials, and boxing devices that pack products in boxes. Pillow wrapping machines have packaging materials in the vertical direction. There are vertical pillow packaging machines that send the packaging material in the (vertical direction) to fill the packaged items, and horizontal pillow packaging machines that send the packaging materials in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) to fill the packages to be packaged. Even (for example, a vertical pillow packaging machine) has a different structure and the like depending on the production speed, the size of the packaged product, and the like, and there are many types of packaging-related devices.
Such a multi-model packaging-related device is provided with a control device for controlling the main body of the device, and has an operation panel equipped with a computer that gives parameters to the control device and receives and processes information from the control device. It is installed and the operation panel is operated to input and set various conditions such as manufacturing conditions of packaging-related equipment, and process information.
Since the items and information processing contents in the input and setting of various conditions of the packaging-related device are different for each model, the computer on the operation panel has a dedicated program (software) corresponding to the model. ) Is incorporated.
In this case, with the diversification and sophistication of packaged products, the operation of the operation panel of the packaging-related device becomes complicated, and the dedicated program incorporated in the computer mounted on the operation panel becomes complicated and enormous. Since the operation of the operation panel also requires skill, it takes time to input and set various conditions and to deal with troubles (for example, operation panel failure or malfunction) in the operation of the operation panel. Problems such as hindering production have arisen.

Various proposals have been made to reduce such production inhibition.
For example, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-137111), an operating device is provided for each of a plurality of packaging machines of the same type connected by a communication line, and the operating operating conditions of the packaging machine are described. , A touch panel that can be changed and set by touch operation on the operation screen, and a communication control unit that can select an arbitrary packaging machine as a connection destination from other packaging machines of the same type connected via the communication line. The same image as the operation screen displayed on the touch panel of the connected packaging machine selected by the communication control unit is displayed on the touch panel of the connecting source packaging machine, which is smaller than the full screen area of the operation screen. The operation start and end of the connection destination packaging machine) is provided by touching the connection destination operation screen displayed in the connection destination operation screen display area on the connection source operation screen. Except for the operations related to the start and end of the operation including the above, the operating device of the packaging machine in which the packaging machine to be connected can be remotely operated is disclosed.
Further, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2009-156623) states that the labor and time required for designing software for remotely operating a combination scale and a packaging machine from either one can be reduced. For the purpose, a combination scale main body equipped with a plurality of weighing containers to perform combined weighing and discharging an article of a target weight, and the combined weighing main body are controlled according to preset operating conditions, and the measured value of the measuring container is performed. A combination scale equipped with a measurement control unit that receives and performs a combination calculation and a web server that registers a web page file compliant with HTML, and an article discharged from the combination scale in cooperation with the combination scale is packaged. A packaging machine main body, a packaging control unit that controls the packaging machine main body, a packaging operation indicator that inputs an operation signal to the packaging control unit and displays an output signal from the packaging control unit, and the above. A packaging machine equipped with a web browser having a packaging operation display as a display input unit and a communication network for communicably connecting the web server and the web browser are provided, and the web server is from the web browser. Upon receiving a request, the web server has an extension function to create a document containing at least information on the operating status of the combination scale, and the web server responds to a request from the web browser and contains the document. A weighing and packaging system configured to send a file to said web browser is disclosed.

However, in the operation device of Patent Document 1, the operation device (touch panel) of the packaging machine of the connection source is used to remotely operate the packaging machine of the connection destination, and the operation device and the packaging machine to be operated are separated from each other. The operator cannot operate the operating device while visually checking the operation of the packaging machine.
In particular, when the operation panel of a certain packaging-related device fails, an alternative operation panel is required. However, in the operation device of Patent Document 1, various conditions are set at the start of production of the packaging-related device in which the operation panel fails. It is necessary for the operator to visually confirm the operation of the packaging-related device and the quality of the packaged product, and the operation device of Patent Document 1 does not function as an alternative operation panel.
Further, in the weighing and packaging system of Patent Document 2, in the combination tsubo and the packaging machine for manufacturing one packaged product, a web server is installed on the combination tsubo side and a web browser is installed on the packaging machine side. It is connected by a communication network so that the combination tsubo can be operated from the operation display on the packaging machine side, and the operation display of the packaging machine cannot operate other packaging machines and fails. It is not a substitute for the operation display.
